As long as no supernatural events occur, Yang Jian has no need to appear and can continue to be a small security guard.
After Boss Tang accompanied Master Luo around the mall for several laps.
Before he could speak, Master Luo directly said, "Boss Tang, your mall indeed has many problems. I felt something was very wrong with this place when I got out of the car earlier."
"Master, what exactly is wrong with my mall? Can it be solved?" Boss Tang's expression changed slightly, and he asked cautiously.
Master Luo smiled and said, "Although it's a bit troublesome, you're fortunate to have invited me. Otherwise, no one else would have this ability. You're quite lucky. I can indeed solve the problems with your mall, but I have two methods: one to alleviate the symptoms and one to cure the root cause. I just don't know which one Boss Tang is willing to choose?"
"Are there any differences between the two?" Boss Tang asked.
Master Luo said, "The method to alleviate the symptoms is very simple. Once I take action, things here will naturally return to normal, and no more incidents will occur. But I can't guarantee that similar events won't happen again in the future."
"What about curing the root cause?" Boss Tang asked.
"To cure the root cause, you would naturally have to close down the business and reopen the mall in a different location. Since this place is unclean, similar situations might occur again in the future."
Master Luo looked at him and said, "Boss Tang, think about it. After you closed down the mall, haven't there been no more missing person cases?"
"Yes, yes, yes, what the Master said is very true. Ever since the mall closed, there really haven't been any more incidents." Boss Tang looked astonished, his respect growing.
This money was well spent.
"Then, if I don't relocate, how can it be resolved? Can Master think of a way?" Boss Tang asked again.
What he cared about most was when his mall would reopen. Every day it remained closed meant a day's less profit, a considerable loss.
Master Luo chuckled, "I came all this way with you. If I can't solve your problem, how can I continue to work in this industry? Wouldn't I be damaging my own reputation? However, the money cannot be less."
"I understand, I understand. Master, please rest assured, all the required fees will be paid in full. Please guide me, Master." Boss Tang immediately pledged solemnly.
Master Luo nodded and said, "I just walked around your mall. If you want to cure the root cause, I suggest you seal off the main entrance and open a new door on the south side to serve as the main entrance. The entrance to the parking lot on the right will remain unchanged. I will provide you with the specific construction plan later, so it's inconvenient to discuss it further here."
Boss Tang nodded repeatedly, already completely swayed.
Yang Jian was also secretly listening.
Why did he feel that what this Master said made so much sense, not like a scammer, but more like someone with real abilities?
However, he quickly dismissed this thought.
Not long after.
Master Luo's apprentice brought a large pile of strange and peculiar items, seemingly preparing to begin.
"Close the main door," Master Luo suddenly instructed his apprentice.
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and close the door."
A man in a suit walked over and shouted at Yang Jian and Liu Qiang, "Quickly, don't dawdle."
"He's Manager Li, the boss's assistant. Don't offend anyone, but don't offend him." Liu Qiang reminded him and immediately began to close the mall's doors.
Yang Jian's expression was calm, and he wasn't angry. He simply turned to help close the door.
"We need to lock it. Once it's locked, that thing won't be able to get out completely," Master Luo said again.
Lock it?
Yang Jian was stunned for a moment, then said, "If we close and lock the door, even if there really is a ghost, and we lock the ghost inside, people won't be able to get out. What if there's an emergency and we need to escape?"
"You new guy, what are you muttering about? Didn't you hear the Master? Hurry up and lock the door," Manager Li scolded again when he saw Yang Jian moving slowly.
Forget it.
Anyway, if something really happens, it'll be you guys trapped inside. It doesn't matter if I lock the door or not.
Click.
He locked the main door.
However, seeing Master Luo swaying his head back and forth, the BGM for the "social shuffle" involuntarily played in Yang Jian's mind, making him feel that Master Luo was particularly charismatic.
"Pfft."
Yang Jian couldn't help but laugh out loud, but quickly realized the inappropriateness of the situation and covered his mouth.
"Who, who was laughing just now?" Master Luo suddenly turned around sharply.
"Was it you laughing? You security guard are disturbing my ritual. Will you be responsible if something goes wrong?"
Yang Jian said seriously, "Master, you've misunderstood. I just sneezed. Furthermore, I've received specialized training from the company and am a responsible security guard who doesn't laugh easily, no matter what happens."
Liu Qiang looked at him strangely.
When did you new guys receive training?
"There won't be a next time," Master Luo said unhappily.
Yang Jian also felt the sharp, murderous gaze from Manager Li, but he ignored it.
Soon, Master Luo continued his ritual.
But his movements and the frequency of his head-shaking were indeed very rhythmic, and that demonic BGM started playing in Yang Jian's mind again.
He couldn't help but secretly chuckle.
But Master Luo, for some reason, with his small ears, could hear even this tiny sound.
"You're still laughing? I'm leaving."
Master Luo, feeling a bit sensitive, threw down the item in his hand and said angrily.
"You don't need to come to work tomorrow, you're fired."
Manager Li immediately walked over and pointed at Yang Jian's nose, shouting, "Don't even think about getting paid this month."
Yang Jian smiled; "Sorry, I did my best. I don't usually laugh unless I really can't help it. Do whatever you want, don't mind me, I'll just watch. I'll leave tomorrow anyway, I've only been here for a day. I don't care if I get paid or not."
Manager Li was so angry he wanted to curse, but he couldn't do anything about Yang Jian. He said, "Who hired this security guard? They'll be held responsible for this later."
However, just then, something suddenly fell from upstairs.
"Bang~!"
A loud noise echoed as something heavy crashed to the ground.
"What fell?" everyone was startled.
But when they gathered around to look, everyone was shocked. Those with weak hearts screamed.
A corpse.
To be precise, it was a headless, naked corpse. The body had already started to rot, emitting a foul odor.
"Don't make a fuss, it's just a corpse. I found it after searching around. It must be someone from your mall who went missing. As expected, this place is haunted. It's laughable that you, Boss, would invite some fraudster to swindle money. If it were useful, people like us wouldn't exist."
A young man, looking no older than twenty, wearing a short-sleeved shirt and gloves, slowly descended from the fourth floor in the elevator.
"You, who are you? Security?" Boss Tang asked in a panic.
"No need to call security. Let me introduce myself first. My name is Yan Li. I used to be a plumber, but now I've changed careers. I specialize in dealing with supernatural events. Boss Tang, I think we can get acquainted today."
The young man named Yan Li extended his hand with a smile.
Although he had a smile on his face, his expression was so cold that people didn't want to get close.
Hearing him speak, Yang Jian's expression immediately tensed: Is this guy also a ghost wielder? If that's true, is he here to steal my business?
