Chapter 274 Ghost Tower 3
"Has our grandfather gone?"
I gossip.
"I went, was it '93 or '94? I forget!"
Fatty Lin thought for a moment and said, "I stayed at your house for half a month during that time!"
"Fatty, you just said that the Taishan stone is being eroded by yin energy and there's not much yang energy left inside. Aren't our grandpa and the others afraid that the Japanese will use this ghost tower to absorb their luck again?" I asked.
"Madman, you can think of that Eight-Colored Pagoda as a giant feng shui formation. For this feng shui formation to function, the four divine statues, also known as the Four Souls, located at the four corners of the pagoda are extremely important. They are like four giant pipes that transport the absorbed energy into the pagoda and integrate it into the earth's veins!"
"I think for a moment and then I say," said Fatty Lin.
"And then?" I asked.
"What do those four statues represent?" Fatty Lin asked.
"Didn't you say it? Love, wisdom, courage!" I said.
"That's right!"
Fatty Lin nodded and said, "To restore the four divine statues' functions, people possessing these four qualities need to willingly sacrifice their lives and merge their souls into the statues!"
"You madman, remember this: it must be voluntary, and it can't be just one or two people; it requires hundreds or even thousands of people to sacrifice their lives!"
"Decades ago, under the influence of extremist ideology, some people were willing to sacrifice their lives for Japan and for the sake of the Yellow Sea. However, after two lost decades, the prestige of the Yellow Sea has plummeted, and this generation of Japanese people is now known as the 'Heisei Wastes'!"
At this point, Fatty Lin's sneer widened. "Madman, do you really think that in this situation, hundreds or thousands of people would sacrifice their lives for the so-called 'great rejuvenation of Japan'?"
"Definitely not!" I said.
"That settles it!"
Fatty Lin shrugged and said, "So, we don't need to worry at all. If the Nine Chrysanthemums faction tries to forcibly sacrifice themselves to restore that ghost tower, I'll actually be delighted. In that case, they'll just have to wait for the backlash!"
"Given the Japanese's extreme nature, they might actually do something like this!" I said.
"That would be best, then we can just wait and see what happens!" said Fatty Lin.
Just as I finished speaking, my phone rang. I glanced at it and saw it was Li Hailun.
"Hey, Helen!"
After the call connected, I gave a casual greeting.
"Thirteen, your sister Lilin is with me; she wants to talk to you!"
"Thirteen, Xiaolin, Nier, I swear on my life, I absolutely did not intend to harm you. The yacht party was booked a week ago, and everyone on board was provided by the yacht club!"
As soon as Li Hailun finished speaking, Lü Lilin began to explain.
"Sister Lilin, we believe in you!"
Fatty Lin took over the conversation.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Lü Lilin choked up a little; you could tell she was genuinely afraid of our retaliation.
"Sister Lilin, don't overthink it. We know who did it!" Fatty Lin said again.
Lü Lilin was very clever; she didn't ask who it was, she just kept apologizing.
After saying a few more words, the call ended.
Two hours later, the yacht docked.
We carried the woman off the yacht, followed by several trembling models.
Seeing us come down, Li Hailun and Lü Lilin rushed to greet us, with Sister Kim following beside them, clearly having also received the news.
"Thirteen, Xiaolin, Nier..."
When she came up to us, Li Hailun gave us a questioning look.
"Helen, Lilin, you don't need to say anything, you don't need to care about anything, just pretend this never happened!" I said.
"By the way, Sister Helen, can you lend us a car?" Fatty Lin said.
"well!"
Li Hailun nodded repeatedly.
"Sister Kim, don't overthink it. Just take them back and tell them to shut up!" Fatty Lin pointed to the models again.
"Mm!" Kim nodded.
A moment later, the three of us got into the car with the woman and headed straight for Goldman Sachs' headquarters on Hong Kong Island.
Forty minutes later, in Central, Hong Kong Island, at Cheung Fung Building.
The moment the car stopped, Fatty Lin grabbed the woman and got out, then threw her off.
After the woman got out of the car, she covered her drooping wrist and opened her mouth to scream, but no sound came out. Passersby were so frightened that they all moved away.
Soon, the building's security guards noticed the woman, came out and stopped her from going inside.
The woman opened her mouth, hoping the security guard would notice something unusual, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she gagged and spat out a clump of slimy worms.
The security guard took a step back in disgust, but when he saw the worms in the vomit, his expression changed drastically, and he took two steps back.
The woman staggered forward, then vomited again, spewing out another clump of worms.
Two clumps of insects were spat out in succession, causing complete chaos downstairs and eliciting screams.
Soon, the commotion attracted the attention of several patrolling police officers.
The woman seemed to have grasped at a straw and tried to rush over, but she hadn't taken two steps when she froze. White maggots pierced through her skin and crawled out of her face.
"what!"
This scene terrified some of the onlookers, and another round of screams erupted.
And this is just the beginning.
White maggots kept crawling out of the woman's eyes, ears, mouth, and nose, and her face soon became covered with tiny holes, like a honeycomb.
This unexpected turn of events was unacceptable even to the patrol officers, who were hesitant to approach and instead called for an ambulance via walkie-talkie.
Although the changes in women are frightening, the gossipy nature is ingrained in human genes, and the number of onlookers continues to grow.
As onlookers watched, the woman collapsed to the ground, and insects burst forth from her body like a flood breaking through a dam.
The woman's initial convulsions and trembling eventually subsided into calm.
A few minutes later, when the ambulance arrived, the woman was already lifeless, and white maggots covered her body like a thin blanket.
Among the onlookers, some were disgusted, some were frightened, and some had their eyes shining.
The three of us were also among the onlookers.
Fatty Lin took photos from multiple angles with his phone, and then sent them to Third Master via MMS.
After the picture was successfully sent, it was accompanied by a message: "Third Master, we two brothers couldn't persuade Ni'er; she's already killed that Japanese woman."
After sending the message, Fatty Lin thought for a moment and added: "Third Master, we're at the Goldman Sachs headquarters in the Changfeng Building in Central. Nier is blocking Liu Qingping here, trying to kill her."
It has been almost four hours since we called Third Master from the yacht.
During those four hours, Third Master didn't return a single phone call to us.
We don't know if he failed to reach an agreement or what the reason was.
Fatty Lin's intention was simple: to increase Third Master's strength.
"You lunatic, just you wait, in less than two minutes, Third Master will have to call us back!"
After sending it, Fatty Lin glanced at the woman whose face had become like a honeycomb and said indifferently.
