“First, I can help you deal with it, but the process must not be disclosed to the public, and once it’s done, you can’t say it was me who did it!”
“Okay!”
“Second, I want to take photos of each Taoist artifact you borrowed from the museum. If I’m interested in any of them, you’ll have to lend them to me.”
“No problem, as long as you don’t damage them, we can notify the museum!”
“Then what are you waiting for?”
Having secured Wanyan Mengwen’s promise, Li Ping’an put his worries behind and decided to do them this small favor. He immediately stood up, grabbed the still unresponsive Wanyan Mengwen, and started to walk outside.
“Wait a minute!”
Wanyan Mengwen planted her feet, staring at Li Ping’an and questioned him with eyes intent:
“In fact, I’ve been observant, and if it were others who heard such ghost stories, they wouldn’t necessarily be extremely scared, but at the very least, their faces or eyes would show some waves. But when I was about to tell you, you said you were timid. Yet, when I told you, you had an expressionless face, and even showed some disdain. Be honest, are you really a living immortal?”
“Oh come on! Your eyes are sharp enough, but I’m really not a living immortal. I just…”
Li Ping’an had been through some minor troubles in the world of “Black Myth: The Fated One,” and was already immune to matters involving gods and ghosts. For a moment, he forgot how a modern person should react to these superstitions and nearly revealed himself.
In a panic, he suddenly widened his eyes, his face became stiff as if he had seen a ghost, and he stayed motionless, staring past Wanyan Mengwen as he slowly raised his hand:
“The reason I reacted that way was because… I saw a red-clothed female ghost behind you…”
Upon hearing this, Wanyan Mengwen shivered all over and her face turned pale in an instant. Her body shot forth like an arrow from a string, running next to Li Ping’an and desperately burrowing into his embrace, glancing around in terror from the corners of her eyes:
“Where? Where is it?”
Li Ping’an casually pointed:
“There! On the balcony!”
Wanyan Mengwen immediately clung to Li Ping’an and looked in the direction he pointed:
“There’s nothing there?”
“It’s here! On the chair! Can’t you see it?”
Yet again, Wanyan Mengwen looked in the direction Li Ping’an was pointing and still saw nothing.
However, the empty dormitory atmosphere had become eerier, as if an unseen entity could pounce on them at any moment.
Wanyan Mengwen was so frightened that her heart almost jumped out of her throat.
After she clung to Li Ping’an nervously for a moment and saw that Li Ping’an was covering his mouth and snickering, she finally realized that he was teasing her. She immediately got angry and shouted at Li Ping’an:
“Li Ping’an, what are you doing? Do you know that can scare someone to death!”
The angry Wanyan Mengwen kept pounding on Li Ping’an’s chest with her little fists.
“Ow, I was just teasing you. Don’t be angry!”
Li Ping’an tried to catch Wanyan Mengwen’s fists but couldn’t manage to, which proved that what they say on the internet is true: Catching an angry woman is more difficult than catching a pig during the New Year’s slaughtering. Indeed.
Click, the dormitory door was pushed open from the outside, and Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng came in untimely, carrying packed dinner. They saw Li Ping’an and Wanyan Mengwen playfully frolicking like a couple.
“Holy shit! Li Ping’an, you weren’t just talking nonsense!”
“Holy shit! Are you guys… doing this without even avoiding others now?”
“Fuck! My little fists pounding on your chest, making ruckus in the dorm late at night… Just fooling around, huh?”
Anyone who saw this scene would misunderstand that Li Ping’an had successfully wooed Wanyan Mengwen and was now being lovey-dovey with her in the dorm.
“I’m sorry for the intrusion…”
Yet Wanyan Mengwen, being part of the situation, had no idea about the tall tales Li Ping’an had previously spun; she just felt she had disturbed Li Ping’an’s roommate and kept apologizing profusely.
“The matter with Yuan Furong can wait until I get back to settle accounts with you two!”
But Li Ping’an grew increasingly cocky, snatched the packed dinner from Zhu Ganglie’s hand, stood at the dorm’s doorway, tilt his head towards Wanyan Mengwen in a very macho manner:
“Heh heh heh! What are you waiting for? Let’s get moving already. Aren’t we supposed to get things done?”
“Alright, alright, I’m leaving now. I’m counting on you this time, hope you give it your all!”
Wanyan Mengwen hurriedly made her way through Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng.
Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng didn’t expect that not only had Li Ping’an won over the female cop Wanyan Mengwen, but in just a few days, she was already tamed and obedient like a little wife, which made them green with envy.
“Where are you two going?”
“Hotel!”
“Fuck! To the hotel? You’re not going to…”
Li Ping’an knew Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng had definitely misunderstood, but since these three bastards had made him play the clown in front of Yuan Furong, he decided to let the misunderstanding continue and make them die of jealousy!
“That’s right, to get things done, and with all our might!”
Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng were stunned. Li Ping’an and Wanyan Mengwen were heading to a hotel to get a room after knowing each other for less than two days?

Driven by jealousy, Zhu Ganglie who was the most envious, began to be a pest again:
“Police sister, do you know Yuan Furong?”
“Of course, she…”
Seeing that Zhu Ganglie, this living beast, was trying to make him look ridiculous again, Li Ping’an quickly gagged Yuan Furong and dragged her away.
In fact, what Wanyan Mengwen wanted to say was that she knew Yuan Furong was a popular leading actress, but she didn’t get to finish her sentence, which led Jiang Liuer, Zhu Ganglie, and Sha Sheng to further their misunderstandings.
The three of them tacitly lit cigarettes, stood on the balcony in the biting north wind, their heads bowed in deep contemplation:
“What kind of magic does this clown Li Ping’an possess to make the female cop so obsessed with him, she even tolerates Li Ping’an liking another woman! How come I never come across such a situation!”
Silver Dragon Tower, surveillance room.
To monitor every corner of the hotel, they added more than a dozen cameras to the existing setup.
The police captain Huang Yi’an was staring intently at over thirty surveillance screens, not daring to be careless, afraid to miss any detail.
This was his tenth day here; he had been working around the clock, barely resting, his appearance disheveled, his face smeared with grime.
The other police officers were in the same state, all on edge, smoking one cigarette after another to alleviate fatigue, shrouding the entire surveillance room in smoke, because the pressure was just too immense!
Ever since they took over this case, let alone solving it, they hadn’t even found a single clue up to now.
In order not to leak any information, they sealed off the hotel, took all the guests who were present during the haunting incident under unified management, accommodating them in the building’s banquet hall, isolated from the guest rooms.
