Chapter 5 The Long-Legged Stalker
The following morning at 8:00 AM.
City bus station.
Lu Mingfei arrived here half an hour early.
Punctuality is a virtue of the strong, but he goes a step further and likes to arrive early.
The city bus station is a building from the last century, and all its facilities are quite old, exuding a strong sense of age.
Since the newly built city bus terminal has been put into use, there are not many bus routes here, and there are very few people waiting for buses.
But after glancing at it briefly, Lu Mingfei frowned slightly.
Because at the location agreed upon in the internal email, a flashy-looking man was filming back and forth with a digital video camera.
In this era, mobile phones are not as powerful as they were in the previous life. The most popular and best mobile phones were Nokia and Blackberry, which were already obsolete in the previous life...
Therefore, if you want to take photos and videos, you can only use specialized cameras and camcorders.
But these two things weren't cheap in those days.
Moreover, the item that man was holding was clearly a high-end product.
So... surely the other party wasn't also on a hospital exorcism expedition, just coming here specifically to take photos and document it?
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei had an idea and walked over.
"Heavenly King covers the Earth Tiger?" he said, giving the secret code.
The man was taken aback for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he came forward.
"Standing alone atop Mount Emei!" he replied.
The code was correct.
They're one of our own.
"Hey buddy, nice to meet you. I'm the recorder, and you are?" The man was a little too enthusiastic.
"Immortal Venerable," Lu Mingfei said calmly.
Despite Lu Mingfei's coldness, the man remained very enthusiastic and launched into a long and detailed introduction of himself.
According to him, he is a video blogger, and in the era before short videos became popular, video bloggers were considered the pioneers of live streaming.
This man, codenamed "The Recorder," is undoubtedly a trendsetter standing at the forefront of public attention.
"My previous channel was quite successful. How about it, Immortal Venerable Brother, do you want to give it a follow?" the recorder said with a chuckle.
But they were met with a cold shoulder.
It's clear that Lu Mingfei has absolutely no interest in following his channel.
However, the recorder still enthusiastically explained the reasons for this expedition to the abandoned hospital.
Now that video blogging platforms are also heavily involved, he has no choice but to find another way and focus on paranormal exploration.
This time, it was because of a message from a fan that a hospital in the suburbs of the city was very strange, so he, who was struggling to find material, organized this adventure.
After explaining the whole story.
Lu Mingfei remained expressionless.
Having experienced the world of self-media in his previous life, he had absolutely no interest in things like fans, traffic, or content.
Moreover, his original intention in coming to explore was not for any reward.
He wants to gain power.
Extraordinary power.
Therefore, even if it meant becoming a ghost tamer and having to pay a price, he was willing to do it.
Faced with the silent Lu Mingfei, the outgoing recorder could only reluctantly shut his mouth.
But as a new media professional who relies on his eloquence to get by, the recorder doesn't intend to remain silent.
The small expedition team he organized included two other people besides them.
There have to be at least one straight man in a comedy duo!
Time passed slowly, and the two waited in silence for the third member to arrive.
A black luxury car with a triangular split logo turned into the bus station and slowly came to a stop.
The driver's side door opened, and a muscular man dressed in black clothes and sunglasses, looking like a bodyguard, got out of the car and jogged to open the back door.
"Where did this rich young lady come from?" the recorder muttered under his breath.
The sound wasn't loud, but Lu Mingfei, with his excellent hearing, heard it clearly.
He raised an eyebrow slightly, not because of what the other person said, but because he felt he had seen this car somewhere before.
A black sneaker emerged from the back seat of a black luxury car, followed by slender, long legs; even jeans couldn't conceal the woman's figure.
What's even more eye-catching than her figure is that delicate little face that just peeked out from the car door.
A face that combines the beauty of both East and West is exposed to the air.
The recorder's eyes widened, his heart filled with elation.
It wasn't because he had any lustful thoughts, but because a beautiful girl appeared, which guaranteed a minimum number of views for his video.
He wanted to approach her warmly and strike up a conversation, but to his surprise, the beautiful girl didn't even look at him and walked straight to the side.
"Lu Mingfei?" The beautiful girl's voice was filled with surprise.
Lu Mingfei nodded.
"What a coincidence," he said.
He hadn't expected it to be such a coincidence.
By sheer coincidence, he ran into an old classmate while exploring a haunted house, who turned out to be the very person who had directly caused his time travel in his past life.
Su Xiaoqiang.
People sometimes call her Little Fairy, after all, as the only daughter of the CEO of a giant mining group, she may never know the troubles of ordinary people.
Su Xiaoqiang never expected that she was just looking for excitement, so she logged onto the website she had secretly seen from her father and encountered Lu Mingfei on her first mission after joining the forum.
During this period, Lu Mingfei acted strangely, as if he had been abducted by aliens, experimented on, and then sent back.
The first thing is that I've stopped hanging around that literary girl.
Secondly, he stopped joking around and spouting nonsense, and instead became taciturn and serious.
The third and most important point.
Lu Mingfei's academic performance improved by leaps and bounds!
As we all know, this is the stage of high school.
Sometimes, academic performance can determine everything.
Even if it's bullying, look at who dares to bully the top student in the class or even the top student in the whole school.
That would be a slap in the face to the principal.
All of this made Su Xiaoqiang, who already had a decent relationship with Lu Mingfei, even more curious about him.
But she clearly didn't know that curiosity would kill Hakimi.
"What are you doing here?" She circled around Lu Mingfei, feeling that this guy was hiding some earth-shattering secret.
"My name is Immortal Venerable." Lu Mingfei ignored her question and instead revealed his name on the forum.
Su Xiaoqiang blinked. Since the other party didn't want to reveal their identity, she could play along.
"Angel," she said.
How could the recorder not know that the two seemed to know each other in real life? But it's good to be familiar with someone. Familiarity breeds creativity and makes for better entertainment.
"Now that everyone is here, let's set off," he said after confirming Su Xiaoqiang's identity.
"Wait a minute." Su Xiaoqiang frowned slightly. "Why do I remember there was another person?"
"Oh, you mean the fourth one? She had something come up and can't come," the recorder replied.
Su Xiaoqiang nodded, but Lu Mingfei frowned and glanced around.
He sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put his finger on it.
After the three boarded a bus heading to the suburbs...
In the shadows of a nearby alley, a black humanoid figure slowly emerged from the corner of the wall, eventually transforming into a living person.
The newcomer was dressed in a black bodysuit, revealing a figure that made all the women envious.
Her fingers were placed near her ear.
"Moshi moshi, can you hear me?" A slightly languid, mature woman's voice rang out.
Then a muffled female voice came through the headset.
"I heard it, I heard it, long legs."
"How are things? Is our little white rabbit alright?"
"The little white rabbit has gone to the wolf's den." The mature woman raised an eyebrow. "However..."
"But what?" a muffled female voice asked, sounding as if she were eating some kind of snack.
"It seems the little white rabbit has spotted me."
