Chapter 18: Disguise
"You should just wait, I understand the truth. Are you sure you saw it in an encyclopedia instead of an animation?"
Wang Lu is not an anime enthusiast, but he still knows the extremely famous meme of Stone Ghost Mask. In the past, when fortune telling near school, it was very popular among high school students. When walking on the street, it often poses confusing poses that make others feel.
Following this trend, will even substitute messengers appear soon?
For a moment, the atmosphere in the haunted house was a little burning.
"I don't understand what you are talking about. The encyclopedia says that the Stone Ghost Mask was excavated and caused great panic for a while. Later, it was brought back to the headquarters by a group of elite witch hunters, and it has been sealed somewhere until now."
Facts have proved that whether it is a witch hunter in the Western world or a local spiritual eliminator, they will choose to contain these extremely dangerous props. The encyclopedia states that the foundation headquarters contains many dangerous objects.
"These masks should be different from what you said. Later, the security guard came to investigate the situation at that time. The cleaner seemed to have no memory of what he had done. And once he took off his mask, he seemed to have become an ordinary person... Compared to a small spirit body like me that is not very threatening, those masks should be more valuable to you, right?"
The Mengshuiling is good at temptation, but there is no intentional exaggeration in his words, because this matter itself is full of strangeness - even for a supernatural creature like it, it is very strange.
It’s a pity that it does not have a physical body and cannot bring those masks to the head for further research.
"Gu Yun, what do you think?"
"Let's investigate first."
He prefers to investigating these common sense-in-comprehensive events than cats in haunted houses.
"That's what it means."
After a morning of squatting, Wang Lu deeply realized that even without them, tourists should be able to have fun. "But are you sure this thing is not a threat to ordinary people? Should you drive it away before you leave?"
"There is no need. If you drive it away, the haunted house will be even less scary."
Gu Yun felt that this haunted house was already shattered enough, and now even the masks of the staff's doll suits disappeared. "But don't overdo it. If there is a casualty incident, we will come back to find you."
"You can rest assured about this. I have lived here for more than ten years and have never had any casualties!" Shi Mengling was full of confidence. "Not only will I not hurt humans, but I will also give them the way when they get lost!"
The haunted house in the amusement park is his residence. Once there is a casualty accident, the amusement park will close the haunted house, and then it will not even be able to eat.
Therefore, it is actually a spirit body with principles and bottom lines.
Children under the age of six are not scared, and elderly people over the age of sixty are not scared.
"Wow, I didn't expect you to be quite professional."
Wang Lu was really shocked by the Shi Mengling. This was the first time he had seen a spirit body that knew how to live in harmony with humans. If the supernatural creatures in this world learned about this guy's attitude towards life, then these spirit extermination personnel would be able to retire gloriously.
……………………
As a night barbecue stall in x City, Wang Lu once brought his own tools and ingredients to dinner at his friend's doorstep, so he knew the specific address of his friend's house.
Before he was engaged in divination business, he actually considered being a carefree barbecue stall owner. Until one night on his way home, he saw a stall owner chased by the urban management for more than a dozen streets, which made Wang Lu realize that setting up a stall is also a physical job.
His combat effectiveness is not enough to match the urban management army, so he gave up this plan.
My friend's house lives in Xicheng District, less than ten minutes away from his house. He and Gu Yun entered a coffee shop across the street and started the surveillance work in a pretty good manner.
"This is the plan for a while. If he goes out, we will quietly follow him."
"Order a hot dog roll."
Then he found that Gu Yun ignored him and carefully studied orders from the coffee shop.
Because Wang Lu explained to him more than once the common sense of infiltrating school on the way, Wang Lu thought he had some experience in this aspect - during the economic depression, he thought about many ways out, including the strange thief who acted at night to rob the rich and help the poor.
The reason why this dream was shattered was somewhat similar to the owner of the barbecue stall.
A thief near their home was caught by the owner and broke his leg. The thief was full of dissatisfaction and accused the owner of the household to intentional injury. After careful investigation by the police day and night, the thief was sentenced to two years in prison for suspected multiple thefts, and the owner of the household was added with the title of bravery.
This made Wang Lu realize that when a monster thief needs not only infiltration skills, but also full of free fighting skills.
He was not suitable for this cruel industry after studying alone.
"Why did you still eat it?"
"Didn't you tell me that the highest level of disguise is to be completely integrated into your own role?"
Gu Yun looked at the plate brought by the maid with satisfaction. The steaming hot dog roll made people excited, so he ordered sandwiches and fruit tea.
He has now completely integrated into the role of ordinary diners and fully enjoyed the fun brought by food.
"what would you like?"
"Mini pizza, and then a cappuccino."
Wang Lu thought about it carefully and found that he seemed to be a little too nervous. They now know nothing about the magic of those masks. If they think about it better, their functions may be limited to strengthening the body.
However, neither of them expected that this would last a whole day.
During this period, Wang Lu wanted to call and ask many times, but was afraid of alerting the enemy, so he gave up in the end.
"Or what if I forget it today?"
When Wang Lu drank the sixth cup of coffee, he couldn't help feeling sleepy. After all, he sat in the window of the coffee shop and did nothing for a day. He didn't bring a laptop or had no games on his phone. Just sit there completely, and normal people would be tired.
Let’s go home today and come back to eat tomorrow... Oh, no, come and monitor again.
"agree."
When Gu Yun finished the 16th plate of hot dog rolls, he finally couldn't eat them anymore.
The maid gave the two people a terrifying look from time to time - although these two people provided a lot of revenue to their shop, it was so abnormal that one kept drinking and the other kept eating.
Moreover, the two of them did not leave the residential area across the street for the whole time.
Could these two people be scouting the spot?
Could it be...
Are these two people planning to have a good meal before "doing a big deal"?
The maid became more and more frightened as she thought about it, especially the two men looked like unemployed people and the other looked like criminals.
Or, call the police?
“Thank you for the reception.”
Wang Lu took the initiative to settle the account, and automatically ignored the maid's pale face, turned to Gu Yun and said, "Why do you bring this book when you come tomorrow? I will bring my laptop too."
The reason why he was so concerned was not because his friends were involved, but...
I've been too idle lately.
After the man in the windbreaker was eliminated, the client dropped sharply. The native evil spirits in City X are now in panic and have no courage to commit crimes against the wind.
"Are those friends your friends?"
But Gu Yun did not answer him immediately, but pointed to the people walking out of the community across the street - each of them wore a masquerade-like animal mask and got on a van full of graffiti.
Wang Lu admitted that Gu Yun asked this question very tricky.
He didn't know how to identify the other party's exact identity through the mask.
"I don't know, but we can follow up and take a look first."
