“of course, this is inevitable. as far as i know, there are at least five ability users among these people. moreover, as far as i know, their bodies were affected by the drug before the average patient. four of them are currently missing. i’ll first control the ability users who know where they are so as to prevent them from causing more panic.” quan ye said in a serious tone.
“alright,” he said. after chi jiao agreed, she frowned and hung up the phone.
although she hadn’t caught any ability users who took the medicine, chi jiao’s many years of experience told her that these ability users were far more difficult to deal with than the average patient.
however, since things had come to this, they had no other way. they could only try their best to control the situation and not let it develop further.
on the other hand, beitang lie had already passed chi jiao’s order to pei yao and the others, and the headquarters had also expressed that they would fully cooperate.
“boss, pei yao has already received a case of a patient going berserk and injuring someone. according to the person who arrested them, these patients who were affected by the drug usually rest during the day to replenish their strength, and then wait until night to act.” beitang lie said.
chi jiao nodded thoughtfully,”alright, then we’ll wait until night time to go to the old man’s grave to take a look. go out and negotiate with liu daguo. pay him to bring us up the mountain tonight.”
“alright, return it to me.” beitang lie nodded. he walked out of the room and further negotiated with liu daguo.
liu daguo didn’t agree with chi jiao and the others going to the cemetery of the old, because, just like bai xiaozhou said, they did have rules here, and he was afraid that it would be inauspicious.
so, when beitang lie offered to invite liu daguo to take them to the grave of the old man, liu daguo was so scared that he waved his hand to refuse without a second word.
fortunately, beitang lie had a silver tongue and managed to reach an agreement with liu daguo in the end.
they gave liu daguo 30000 yuan, and he would bring them up the mountain at night.
after that, liu daguo brought chi jiao and the others to his house.
liu daguo went back and told his wife about it, but she wouldn’t agree no matter what. in the end, she finally agreed after chi jiao and the others gave her an extra 20000 yuan.
chi jiao didn’t care about the extra 20000. after all, as long as they could capture chen li and avoid more casualties, it would be a good thing for them.
that night, after the sky turned dark, liu daguo took out a rooster from the chicken cage at home. he plucked it out and slit its throat. he carried the rooster and let out its blood as he walked up the mountain.
“w-what is this?” beitang lie was so frightened by this barbaric scene that he had goosebumps all over his body.
” it’s a custom here. if the dead must go to their graves within a month, kill a rooster and use its blood to open a path. this will dilute the resentment of the dead. ” bai xiaozhou mumbled.
“there is no resentment of the dead in this world, nor are there any ghosts.” after chi jiao finished speaking, she didn’t stop liu daguo and just followed him silently.
after all, every place had a different religion, and she didn’t have to force others to follow her.
beitang lie braced himself and followed chi jiao.
bai xiaozhou was scared from the bottom of her heart, but since chi jiao and the others had left, she had no choice but to hold on to the mahogany sword in her hand, mutter a few words of amitabha, and quickly follow.
time flew by, and an hour and a half later.
after they went up the mountain, chi jiao felt that the 50000 yuan they spent was well worth it.
