Reporting a Ghost to the Police

"What exactly is happening to me...?"

Chen An immediately started shivering. "Did you encounter a ghost?"

"Holy crap!!"

"So, those things down there now also chat online?"

"That's right!"

At that moment, Chen An suddenly realized that he had connected everything through his own imagination.

"I said, how could a young man like him not know about tea-selling girls? This thing might fool middle-aged and elderly people, but young people? In fact, many young people are waiting for tea-selling girls to come to their door so they can flirt with them in return, okay?!"

"And his unnaturally handsome appearance is also a big problem!"

"Unless, he's been down there all along, Wandering Spirit!"

"Only Wandering Spirit would be unaware of the tea-selling girl's existence, and thus believe it to be true..."

Good heavens!

Thinking of this, Chen An's heart raced even faster, and he almost stopped breathing.

"Judging from those stories, when Wandering Spirit comes to a netizen's door, it's definitely going to take the netizen away. The reason I'm still alive is probably because I'm a man, right?"

"If I really were the girl in the photo, I'd probably already be..."

"Hiss!!!!"

At that moment, Chen An felt the temperature around him drop drastically, and he was almost dumbfounded!

He shakily copied a clip of the surveillance video to his phone, then fled his home as if his life depended on it. The door was broken.

So what if it's broken? What's more important than my own life?!

He only calmed down a little when he got to a crowded place, but even so, he was still very scared.

until...

He suddenly thought of something!

"Oh no, could he have added other people too?!"

At that moment, Chen An was in a state of utter confusion. He even opened his "colleagues group" and sent a message: "Brothers, are you guys alright?"

"How?"

Soon, many people responded.

"What could have happened? Did something happen to you?"

"Hey, I'm just sitting here doing nothing. I haven't made a single sale today. There are so many tea-selling girls these days, there's clearly not enough sugar daddies!"

After most people replied, Chen An breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that everything is alright. I suggest that everyone stop doing this job in the future."

"What? You got arrested by the police?"

"It can't be that bad. We don't cheat, steal, or rob. We're a legitimate tea seller. At most, we've just given ourselves a bit of packaging..."

"What the hell are you talking about, cops? If they were cops, I wouldn't be afraid!" Chen An immediately sent a voice message, cursing, "I fucking encountered a ghost today!"

"Ah?!"

"Grass!"

"Old Chen, what kind of ghost story are you telling us in broad daylight?"

"Exactly, we're a bunch of grown men, why would we be afraid of you talking about this stuff?"

"You're crazy. I'm going back to work now. I just added a few hundred people and was getting ready to cast my net..."

"Casting a net? You guys really don't want to live!" Chen An cursed. "Fine, you don't believe me, right? You all think I'm joking, right? Damn it, I'll show you the video!"

"I was scared to death! My Laozi is still a mess, and I haven't dared to go to the hospital because of the yin energy there. I'm afraid I'll run into that ghost again!"

He grumbled as he sent a copy of the video to the "colleagues group," adding, "Whether you're scared or not is up to you. I'm not going to do it anymore. Damn it, I'm not saying anything more. The doctor I contacted is here. I'll have him check my anus..."

Chen An remained silent.

But the dozens of local "colleagues" in the group were all puzzled.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Isn't Old Chen usually the least believer in these things?"

"Maybe we really ran into something?"

"Hey, just watch the video and you'll see!"

"Yes, yes, watch the video!"

The video is short, only three minutes long from beginning to end, so everyone has time to watch it. That's why everyone online right now has clicked on the video...

Three minutes later...

The group chat exploded.

"Holy shit!?"

"(ΩДΩ)!!!"

"What the hell is this thing?"

"I know a bit about technology, so I slowed it down 32 times. Because his camera was so crappy, at this speed there were already a lot of afterimages. Then I saw... that thing whoosh, in less than a second!!!"

Somehow, he turned the computer and desk to dust, casually broke the chair, ruined Old Chen's chrysanthemum, and then, whoosh, he was gone!

"Damn it, this is absolutely unbelievable!!!"

"But you know what, that ghost was actually quite good-looking!"

"Damn it, even if a ghost is good-looking, it's still a ghost, and a male one at that. You're actually interested in that?!"

Amidst the cursing and chilling exchange, someone calmly suggested a possibility. "Old Chen himself appeared on camera, and he is indeed 'damaged,' it hurts me to look at it, so it's definitely not a video found online, but could it be a composite?"

"Impossible!" The group member who had just claimed to know a little about technology said confidently, "I did say I know a little about technology, though not in great depth, but I can still tell whether a video has been edited or composited."

"It's certain that this is the original video!"

"Holy shit! You idiot, stop talking, I'm fucking scared..."

"This is unbelievable!"

"If it's a ghost, it's a ghost. But the damn thing is, this ghost actually came to our door for this reason. Holy crap, it seems like our industry is an absolutely high-risk industry!"

"What to do?!"

I was so scared I peed my pants!

Who isn't afraid at this moment?

If it were an edited video or a video with special effects, people would just watch it for fun. But now, this has happened to someone they know!

The cause is somehow connected to each of them, because they were all doing the same thing.

What if I encountered this situation myself?!

That ghost is damn powerful!

"Call the police!"

At this moment, Chen An reappeared.

"Old Chen, is your chrysanthemum alright?"

"Nothing to you! The damn doctor is cleaning my wound and stitching it up. He said it hurts a lot and I should find something to do..."

"... So what did you do?"

"Nonsense?"

Chen An angrily cursed, "In ancient times, Guan Yu concentrated intently on playing chess, even scraping his bone to treat his wound. Today, I, Chen An, angrily curse my fellow group members for sewing up their chrysanthemums!"

"Wow, 66666!"

"Ruthless Person!"

"Amazing, amazing..."

"Six hammer blows, it hurts Laozi! I'm calling the police right now, this isn't over yet..."

As he was speaking, Chen An prepared to call the police, but someone advised him against it.

"Wait, Old Chen, what should we say if we call the police?"

"What do you mean, 'how to say'? Of course, it's telling the truth!"

"So, you're going to call the police and say: 'I've been attacked by a ghost and my anus is injured, please come and help me catch the ghost'?"

Puff!!!

Many group members who were following this story couldn't help but laugh when they saw this, but they didn't share it in the group to avoid upsetting Chen An.

Chen An was speechless upon seeing this statement.

Go to hell!

What kind of talk is that?

He cursed, "Of Laozi I'm not that stupid. How could I say something like that? I'd just say I saw a ghost and ask them for help, wouldn't that be enough?"

"... Isn't it still the same? You call the police and ask them to catch a ghost? They're only hanging up on you out of politeness. They might even accuse you of making a false report or spreading rumors, and arrest you!"

Upon seeing this sentence, Chen An was taken aback, and then realized what it meant.

This is no nonsense!

Call the police and have them come and catch the ghost?

They'd probably rather get themselves arrested!

"Then... what should I do?... Ouch, that hurts so much!"

Hearing Chen An's screams and thinking about what had happened to him, all the group members felt their scalps tingle. While considering whether they should change their own careers, they also offered suggestions.

"Calling the police is definitely out of the question."

"Yes, yes, that's definitely impossible!"

"In that case, I suggest you take the video directly to the police station. That way, the police can't say you filed a false report, right?"

Chen An: "That makes sense. So, can they help me catch the ghost?"

Who knows?

"Sigh, it's not even certain they'll take this case... How about this, I know an Old Taoist Priest on the mountain who's incredibly good at catching ghosts. Let's prepare for both possibilities. You go to the police station after you finish sewing the chrysanthemum, and I'll contact the Old Taoist Priest Old Taoist Priest priest for you. Once you're done, we'll ask him for help."

"Okay, let's do it this way!"

Chen An made up his mind, this is how it will be done!

Then... they split up!

I've finished cleaning the chrysanthemum, but it still hurts!

But Chen An couldn't care less about anything else at that moment, and headed straight for the nearest police station, even taking a motorcycle!

Inside the police station, a policewoman who had recently graduated sat there...

Upon seeing this, Chen An's mood improved considerably. He walked over and said, "Police officer... uh, officer."

Policewoman Zhao Tongtong was both amused and annoyed. "What can I do for you?"

"I'm calling the police."

Call the police?!

Zhao Tongtong's eyes lit up.

I've only been working for a few days, and no one has come to report any cases. At most, people call the police, but I don't answer the phone myself. Now that the first case has finally come to my door, I can't help but feel very excited.

But... seeing Chen An's pale face, she didn't want to show it, so she said, "Please speak!"

At the same time, I turned on my computer and prepared to take notes.

"Um, officers, I'd like to ask you to help me catch a ghost."

Zhao Tongtong, who was filled with excitement. "(O_O)???"

Whoosh!

As if a bucket of ice water had been poured over her head, like the Ice Bucket Challenge, Zhao Tongtong's excitement instantly cooled. "What did you say?"

"Officer, I'm serious!"

Chen An said, enunciating each word clearly. "I want to ask you to catch a ghost."

Zhao Tongtong: "... If you want to catch ghosts, go find a Daoist priest or a shaman. Why are you coming to the police? That's not our area of expertise."

She almost laughed out of anger.

We finally got a case, and this is the result?!

"Let me tell you, harassing a police officer is obstructing official business, and I have the right to detain you! Besides, is this what you call calling the police?!"
