Chapter 2039: Chapter 2039: Ghostly Entity!!!
The next two days seemed very calm.
However, perhaps because of the rain, the entire atmosphere of Zhonghai City became inexplicably oppressive.
During these two days, Cao Xin stayed at the hospital waiting.
It was only around ten o’clock at night that he finally received a call from Lin Yi.
"I’ve arrived, where are you?"
Lin Yi’s hoarse voice eerily seeped through the phone.
It was like a wicked ghost whispering in one’s ear, causing chills and making one’s scalp tingle.
Especially at this late hour, even though Cao Xin was mentally prepared, he was startled by the voice.
After regaining his composure, he quickly said, "Master Lin, have you arrived in Zhonghai City? Where are you? I’ll send someone to pick you up right away!"
"Train station," Lin Yi slowly replied.
"Alright, please wait for me at the train station for a moment, I’ll head over immediately!" After speaking, Cao Xin hurriedly hung up the phone, summoned two bodyguards, and the trio left together.
When they arrived at the train station, the square was almost deserted.
Only in a dark corner could they vaguely see the silhouette of a person.
Cao Xin squinted his eyes and upon recognizing Lin Yi crouching in the corner, quickly approached with his men. Upon meeting, he found Lin Yi’s attire unchanged.
Not only that, Lin Yi’s appearance had not changed at all compared to ten years ago.
It was as if he had become ageless, time incapable of leaving any mark on his face!
Cao Xin suppressed his inner shock and greeted Lin Yi with respect, "Hello, Master Lin, I am Cao Xin, who called you."
Upon hearing him, Lin Yi then slowly stood up and said, "Where are the people you want to kill? Where do I find them?"
Upon hearing this, Cao Xin said, "Master, there’s no rush to kill them. They’re in Zhonghai City, they can’t escape. Given it’s so late, why don’t we have a meal and rest for the night before taking action?"
Seeing even the employer didn’t rush, Lin Yi naturally didn’t object.
As he nodded, Cao Xin said, "Please, Master Lin, the nightlife here in Mingzhu City is quite vibrant and lively, unlike our Xiangnan."
At the end, his smile turned somewhat obscene.
Lin Yi didn’t speak, like a deaf person, turning a deaf ear to his words.
Seeing his arrogance, the two bodyguards couldn’t help but frown, seemingly displeased. Yet, their boss didn’t get angry, so they held back for now.
They found a five-star hotel to dine at.
At the dining table, Lin Yi’s ravenous eating further displeased the two bodyguards. Especially when Cao Xin offered him a drink, he was indifferent.
Finally, one of the bodyguards couldn’t hold back and sarcastically remarked, "No idea where this bumpkin came from, not sure if he’s real, but he’s certainly good at putting on airs."
"What are you saying!" Cao Xin rebuked displeased.
Upon hearing, the other bodyguard quickly said, "President Cao, my apologies, he seems a bit drunk, speaking without thinking. I’ll take him out to sober up."
After speaking, he prepared to drag his companion out of the private room.
"Hold on, you haven’t apologized to Master Lin!" Cao Xin sternly said, "Master Lin is the expert I’ve invited, disrespecting him is disrespecting me!"
"Apologize to Master Lin! Quickly!"
Feeling Cao Xin’s anger, the two bodyguards became somewhat nervous.
Yet at this moment, Lin Yi calmly put down his chopsticks and said, "It’s okay, they just misunderstand me, thinking I lack real skills, it’s not their fault."
"By the way, you can turn around now."
Turn around?
Is there anything interesting to see behind?
The two bodyguards couldn’t help but frown, but seeing Cao Xin’s suddenly horrified expression, they grew curious about the scene behind.
They slowly turned around, the sight they encountered would haunt them for life!
Behind them, suddenly appeared a fierce ghost face! The ghost face was so close, they could even smell the decaying stench!
"Ghost, it’s a ghost!"
The two screamed, and then promptly fainted in the private room.
After they fainted, a hint of disdain flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.
"Leave now."
Lin Yi slowly said.
As his words fell, the terrifying ghost face vanished into thin air.
Witnessing this scene, Cao Xin felt as if his heart would leap from his chest; the ghostly appearance was unforgettable for a lifetime!
The ghost face suddenly appeared and then disappeared!
Cao Xin dared to assert he wasn’t hallucinating, having pinched himself feeling pain!
No wonder that family seemed scared to death within ten years; Lin Yi can manipulate ghosts!
Recalling the widespread tales of corpse-driving and ghost-raising in Xiangnan, Cao Xin looked at Lin Yi with awe.
"Don’t worry, Ah hua is quite obedient."
Lin Yi mumbled through a mouthful of beef.
Ah hua?
Is that the name of the terrifying ghost face?
To name a ghost, Cao Xin couldn’t help but feel goosebumps, "Ahem, Master Lin is indeed formidable. However, pardon my boldness, is... Ah hua truly a ghost?"
"He is a ghost, yet not a ghost," Lin Yi slowly replied, "All things have spirits; a ghost is a strong manifestation of soul power. You may consider it nonexistent, or consider it present."
His words were perplexing.
After listening, Cao Xin couldn’t help but frown and asked, "So you’re implying, ghosts aren’t truly real? Like illusion techniques, only meant to scare people?"
"Only meant to scare people? Haha, if you think that way, I can let Ah hua come out to play with you again," Lin Yi sneered.
For some reason, upon seeing the smile on his face, Cao Xin suddenly felt ice-cold.
Especially after the image of Ah hua crossed his mind, his body shivered from the chill!
"No, no!"
"I believe in your abilities absolutely!"
Cao Xin quickly wiped the sweat forming on his forehead, smiling awkwardly.
Seeing this, Lin Yi then returned his full attention to the meal.
