Chapter 41: Shaman Disciple

  Qin Zhong's eyes were dim and he muttered: "Another bald head."

  The Korean military said in a low voice: "Just now, the police have intervened to investigate, but the speed of the incoming person is quite fast, as if they have received good training, and rushed out of the 137 cave in just a few steps!"

  "Hmm, I see. That person is a Japanese ninja, of course they're skilled in martial arts. Looks like it's going to be quite troublesome to catch this person!" Qin Zhong said.

  Just as Qin Zhong was speaking, a person appeared, making Qin Zhong feel like he had fallen off a cliff, and everything he had done seemed to be destroyed in this moment.

  "What are you doing here, Xiao Zhong?" The speaker was Fang Shu, and beside him stood the old ghost who had vanished into thin air earlier. It was thought that this old ghost would have become Qin Zhong's locked target by now, but at this moment, he was standing alive in front of him once again.

  Qin Zhong couldn't explain what was happening in front of him. Even if the person who had just run out of cave 137 was one of the two, it was impossible for them to appear here at this time.

  Qin Zhong was stunned for half a day before responding: "We're planning to go out for dinner tonight, I don't know if you're interested?"

  "Ah, no way, I have something to do tonight. If that's really the case, let's reschedule for another day, and I'll definitely be there." The old ghost had a big smile on his face, but it was unclear whether it was a triumphant or arrogant one. After saying this, he left Qin Zhong and headed in the direction of the side door of the archives building, chatting and laughing with Uncle Fang.

  The Korean military seemed to have seen through Qin Zhong's thoughts: "Although we didn't find what we were looking for, it's better to take a rest for the time being. After all, this place has been controlled by the police, and at least it's safe for now."

  "Older brother, I just feel that bald guy is definitely not right, this wig must be his, otherwise if I chase after him and grab it again, there will definitely be someone wearing a wig." Guo Dafu said with a mouthful of positivity.

  Qin Zhong coldly hummed: "You know this, I know it even better. I have a task for you - keep an eye on the one who's laughing the most happily. Don't let him discover you. If there's any unusual movement, be sure to come back and report immediately."

  "Don't worry, boss." Guo Dafu took orders and left, leaving Han Jun and Qin Zhong alone. The two looked at each other, with the big-toothed Han staring blankly at Qin's face, seemingly trying to guess what Qin was thinking about. But after a long time, they both walked out of the archives room together.

  Until midnight, Qin Zhong returned to the archives with a body full of wine. As soon as he reached the door, a figure darted out and grabbed his shoulder: "Boss, come with me." The person didn't say another word, pulling Qin Zhong along as they took off running.

  Qin Zhong himself was somewhat drunk, raised his hand to hit him, but as soon as he saw it was Guo Dafu, he withdrew his hand: "Where are you taking me, you little scoundrel?"

  "Shut up, you'll know when we get there, come on and get in the car." It turned out that Guo Dafu was actually a rich second-generation kid, but he spent his days fooling around outside, and he was extremely straightforward, not clever at all. So his family forced him to find a nominal master or big brother, just do something, as long as it's not illegal, anything is fine.

  When Guo Dafu's family heard that he had actually found a glorious thing to testify for the country, they advised him not to give up and asked him to follow Qin Zhong to the end, even if it meant giving money or goods.

  So Guo Dafu had a lot of time to hang out with Qin Zhong every day, listening to Qin Zhong's arrangements. Guo Dafu's car was also specially prepared by the Guo family for Qin Zhong's errands.

  Of course, Qin Zhong didn't know about this matter at all. Guo Dafu also didn't have the face to tell Qin Zhong about his own life experience, after all, everyone has their own self-respect.

  As soon as Qin Zhong got into Guo Dafu's car, he found that the driver was not Guo Dafu but a complete stranger.

  After noticing Qin Zhong's skeptical expression, Guo Dafu hastily explained: "This is a good friend of mine, I hired him to be my driver."

  Guo Dafu's driver was actually a specially assigned driver and bodyguard from the Guo family, who served two purposes: to protect Guo Dafu's safety and to keep an eye on him, preventing him from going astray.

  Qin Zhong scrutinized the newcomer, unable to guess their identity, but roughly understood a thing or two. This person was absolutely not simple, with a face full of murderous aura, yet able to speak with a smile, proving that Guo Dafu, his own younger brother, was also far from ordinary.

  "Where are we going?" Qin Zhong asked.

  Guo Dafu scratched his head, pulled out a razor from his pocket and randomly shaved a few strokes on his face. He chuckled and said: "The person who just ran away from here, I've already found out where he is. This guy really has money, driving such a good car."

  "Have you found him?"

  "You'll understand when you see it." Guo Dafu was very confident, but Qin Zhong didn't know where his confidence came from. However, just as the car slowed down, Qin Zhong really saw that stupid Jeep again, even the license plate number was exactly the same.

  Qin Zhong looked at Guo Dafu with some surprise, not expecting this guy's speed to be so fast. In just a short while, he had actually found the car.

  "What about him?"

  "He's gone into the village, and someone in the village is looking for him to perform some rituals. I don't know what other tricks he has up his sleeve, but he's just a charlatan, swindling people."

  Qin Zhong discovered his upright side from Guo Dafu's words, but because he was eager to get a clear view of the situation, he didn't say much and quietly slipped into the village after getting off the car.

  Two people hid in the corner of the village for nearly two hours, and finally when it was almost midnight, a murmur arose in the village, a prayer, followed by the slow beating of the shaman drum, three beats per section, five sections per beat.

  Qin Zhong had seen the introduction of the Dongbei Shaman's rituals in his grandfather's notes, so he was also very familiar with these musical instruments and the like: "It's time to go, let's go out."

  After the two people came out of the corner, they walked along the small road towards the brightly lit altar. Before reaching the altar, they saw that the brightly lit courtyard outside was surrounded by three layers of people, no matter whether they were onlookers or true believers, all crowded together at once.

  Qin Zhong and Guo Da Fu squeezed through the crowd, made their way to the front, and saw several gods' images on top of which were placed a row of tame deer heads, the deer heads were black, as the shamans in the arena danced wildly, the waist bells jingling loudly, the divine drums beating non-stop, the incantations unceasing.

  Qin Zhong saw this scene and didn't think much of it, he wanted to see who that shaman was, his eyes scanned the crowd in a circle, without finding anyone he felt was strange.

  Guo Dafu leaned close to Qin Zhong's ear and said: "That shaman is the person we're looking for, his hair is a wig."

  "Oh? Did you see it?"

  "Of course, no problem. My friend has already pried open the car and can find anything inside. Let's wait until this guy is done playing around, then we'll go talk to him."

  Qin Zhong stared at Guo Dafu with wide eyes in surprise: "I'm shocked, you can't be that fast, right?"

  "Hey, there are things that I'll have a chance to tell you later, let's just watch him play for now." Guo Dafu seemed to be taking this matter very lightly.

  Qin Zhong knew that Guo Dafu was a bit of a simpleton, but in some matters, his IQ was still usable, such as tailing someone. However, no matter how he looked at the dancing people, they didn't seem to be anyone he had ever seen before, let alone someone from his own circle.

  Just as he was panicking, the man unexpectedly threw him a mysterious glance during the dance break, and there seemed to be a hint of challenge in his eyes.

  Suddenly, the shaman began to shake violently all over, shaking severely, and a string of words that no one could understand came out of his mouth.

  At this sight, all the lights in the entire courtyard suddenly went out, leaving only the moonlight and the twinkling starlight in the sky.

  Qin Zhong saw this, and thought of the man's eyes just now, those eyes seemed to have been filled with a strong murderous intent, taking advantage of the moonlight, a white light flashed towards Qin Zhong.

  Qin Zhong suddenly felt something was off: "Big Rich, hide quickly!" He immediately pulled Guo Dafu down and they both rolled on the ground. When their eyes had adjusted to the dim light, they saw that the shaman was holding a gleaming hunting knife, with no intention of sparing anyone's life, and was rushing straight towards Qin Zhong.

  Qin Zhong had no choice but to pull out his two kitchen knives, and the two of them began fighting in the shadows.
