Because Master had told us to act at night, we stayed in the hotel all day.
But at around six in the evening, Zhang Yuchen called me and asked where I was. He wanted to invite me out for beer and discuss my meeting with the Red Protector in Ten Thousand City a few days from now.
He still did not know that I had already received a mission from the Netherworld Bureau and arrived in Ten Thousand City ahead of time.
So I explained it to him.
The moment Zhang Yuchen heard that, he became excited over the phone:
"Ou Doudou, Brother Jiang, how could you not tell me in advance about an opportunity to slay demons and exorcise evil? If I don't slay demons and exorcise evil, how am I supposed to become a Grand Exorcism Master in the future? Wait for me, I'm coming to Ten Thousand City right now to meet up with you."
Hearing that, I smiled over the phone. This guy could be a bit of a joker, but when it came to slaying demons and exorcising evil, he had never been afraid of danger.
Ever since the day I met him, he had said he wanted to become a "Grand Exorcism Master," and that had not changed to this day.
We happened to be short-handed. With a few more people, we could summon more ghosts and should be able to find Kong Lingqi's location sooner.
"Alright. Tell Mao Jing and Pan Ling too. Have them come help me as well."
"No problem!"
With that, Zhang Yuchen ended the call.
If Mao Jing and Pan Ling had been there yesterday, they definitely would have been able to tell sooner that Kong Lingqi was a paper effigy puppet.
