One afternoon, Gu Chen came to the door of a villa. The family was obviously very rich, and a tie of the guard was more expensive than Gu Chen's entire outfit combined. Gu Chen showed the weird card Yu An gave him, and then entered the mansion.
Yu An gave Gu Chen a card and this address a few days ago, asking him to come here this afternoon, but he didn't mention anything about the match between the two of them.
This mansion is ridiculously large, but in terms of interior area, it is almost the same as the palace in the movie. Immediately after Gu Chen entered the room, a gentlemanly butler came to lead the way. He didn't ask any questions, but just walked behind the butler. After walking for a while, the butler opened a door and signaled Gu Chen to go in.
This room is also very large, it seems to be a reception room, with classic European decoration, many guests are already sitting on the sofa, and some people are standing and chatting aside, although it is just after noon, most of them are holding red wine or champagne in their hands .
Gu Chen looked around at the people in the room, there were twenty-six people in total, and most of them were foreigners. Yu An and Lu Ping sat in an inconspicuous corner, seemingly out of place with the other people in the room. When Yu An saw Gu Chen coming in, he showed a sly smile like an old fox, while Lu Ping looked sullen, pouring champagne cup after cup.
Gu Chen walked up to them and sat down, looked at Yu An and said, "Since I'm here, can you explain the rules of the game?"
Yu An replied with a smile: "Of course, first of all, this is a gathering of a club for supernatural lovers. The owner of the house is the president. Today he organized an event to go to the famous winter mountain to catch ghosts..."
"Wait a minute... the so-called 'spiritual lovers' aren't those guys who have no spiritual knowledge but brag about how many ghosts they've seen?"
Lu Ping snorted, shrugged his shoulders and rolled his eyes, and then took another gulp of wine, obviously his feeling at the moment was similar to that of Gu Chen.
Yu An still smiled calmly: "I have known the owner of this place, Mr. Rand, many years ago. He has always been very interested in all kinds of supernatural things, so he established this club, and there are also some like-minded friends with him. To join, of course, they also recruited many 'talented people' to become members."
"Oh, capable people, so that's it. Are you referring to that fake Taoist priest over there who said 'Your seal is black', or those two neurotic Yankees? No wonder there is no such thing as a pass card. A sign that can only be seen with spiritual vision, this is simply a boring party held by a group of magic sticks and a group of rich people who have nowhere to spend."
"Hehe, these have nothing to do with you and me. The match between the two of us is very simple. Without any spiritual power, whoever first finds out the incident at Dongming Mountain and solves it will be the winner. The brother of Wuguan Wang will be the referee. Monitor if we break the rules."
After thinking for a few seconds, Gu Chen asked, "According to what you said, is there really a ghost on Dongming Mountain? Then how did they know?"
Lu Ping couldn't help interjecting: "Ha, it's really a coincidence to talk about this. In the past ten years, there have been one or two strange deaths in Dongming Mountain every season, but no one thinks of these things. Together, because people die every day in this world. But this year, a reporter from a gossip tabloid happened to take a photo of a ghost and published it, so the gang of gods and bullies got excited after learning about it."
Yu An added: "So, apart from competing, the more important thing is to protect these innocent people."
Gu Chen snorted coldly: "If these people are innocent, then the prostitute's clients are also innocent for having sexually transmitted diseases."
Yu An shook his head: "Young man, you have to understand that ignorant people are basically innocent. Rand and I have known each other for so many years, but I didn't tell him that the real ghost hunting world exists, just to protect him. To put it bluntly, It's the ghost hunter's job to keep the 'innocent' alive longer."
"It doesn't matter. I agree to the conditions of this game. I hope that when I resolve the incident, we will really never see each other again."
"Hehe...Young man, it's good to have self-confidence, but too much self-confidence becomes arrogance..."
The sound of the spoon hitting the glass made a jingling sound, which attracted everyone's attention. Rand was a Frenchman of fifty-five, with brown hair, a stocky build, and not bald, so that he looked younger than his age.
"Everyone, my distinguished guests, I welcome you all to enjoy the honor and come to the house today. I think everyone is as excited as I am. Today, we will go to Dongming Mountain and stay there for a few days. During the period, we will be together Witness the presence of ghosts!
We have all kinds of the best and most advanced equipment, and among the guests here are the best supernatural experts in the world. We will be able to prove to the whole world that the existence of supernatural things is real! "
Rand spoke impassionedly and provocatively. He is a born explorer and dreamer. It seems that he has the kind of personality charm in his blood that can attract others. Except for a few "experts", the guests present are basically Money is no longer a problem for those characters who are extremely rich, and what they are after is the unknown excitement in this world. After hearing Rand's words, they are already gearing up and eager to try.
"So these foreigners are full and have nothing to do, looking for death..." Gu Chen muttered to himself while smoking the inferior cigarettes he brought with him.
Lu Ping's thoughts were similar to his, but he was older after all, so he didn't express his grievances, while Yu An still had a wicked smile on his face, making it hard to guess what he was thinking.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, more than twenty people boarded a rented bus and headed for Dongming Mountain.
Dongming Mountain is located 120 kilometers south of S City. It is a relatively famous tourist attraction. It does not occupy a large area. The road up the mountain is well repaired. There is a hotel on the top of the mountain, and a water park is built at the foot of the mountain. The catering industry It is even more prosperous, and there are countless snack stalls in large and small restaurants, just like a resort scene.
The two-hour drive is a nightmare for Gu Chen. In his opinion, those rich people are really sick. Taking a bus is as exciting as a child's spring outing. They were even more excited after Dong Mingshan, and one Indian brother seemed to be about to cry.
What made Gu Chen the most amusing was the reaction of those "experts". Take it from the luggage rack, check this and that, as if going to war; the guy like the Italian Mafia didn't say a word, and stared around with fierce eyes, as if he could really see ghosts; What's outrageous is that a self-proclaimed "psychic medium" sat on the last seat of the bus and kept playing convulsions. If someone didn't know it, he would think he had overdosed on drugs.
The speed of the bus going up the mountain is much slower than driving on the road. Although the roads are all asphalt, the slope of the mountain road in Dongming Mountain is still relatively steep, and large vehicles have to slow down.
Finally, at 5:30, the bus stopped at the entrance of the "Dongming Hotel" on the top of the mountain. Because late autumn is the off-season of tourism in Dongming Mountain, the business of the hotel seems to be not good, and the parking spaces are very empty.
Gu Chen rushed off the bus as if fleeing, and it was really a disaster for him to stay with this group of abnormal people for so long.
The Dongming Hotel has three floors. There are many rooms, and the scale is not small. It is different from those big hotels at the foot of the mountain. The hotel has the characteristics of a hotel, with wooden stairs and decorations, as well as exquisite furniture. The accommodation means that it is no cheaper than any five-star hotel.
Of course, for these visitors, the price is not an issue at all, they are not short of money...
After the room was arranged, the group of people went into the room to pack their luggage, and it was seven o'clock soon.
Rand mentioned before that everyone should go to the restaurant on the first floor to have dinner together. Even though Gu Chen is very reluctant, he will give you free travel with food and lodging at any rate. So he had to go downstairs to assemble.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of the room, he felt a gust of wind blowing towards his face. Because of the match with Yu An, Gu Chen couldn't use his spiritual sense to sense anything at the moment. He only knew that there was someone in this hotel who might have died. Hit the ghost.
