Chapter 6.12 Five Ghost Transportation Ritual (Extra)

I took a sip of beer and looked into his eyes to see if he was joking.

If it was a joke, then it was really in poor taste. Black Glasses looked at the ceiling, and Fatty went over to look into his eyes.

“Fuck me, you’re really wearing them?” Fatty murmured. “You bastard, besides being an express driver, are you also doing live broadcasts?”

I also leaned over, but Fatty stopped me. “Don’t look, there’s nothing to see. Why are you so attracted to his bullshit whenever he does something weird? I swear, you’re bewitched by him.”

I didn’t push it. Fatty’s hands were very strong, and he wasn’t joking at all. He put in a lot of effort to keep me from going over and I felt my heart thump when I looked into his eyes. I didn’t know if the contact lenses were real, but Fatty must have seen something he didn’t want me to see.

I backed down. If Fatty wanted me to see it, he would have definitely let me through.

“People like me must first understand that darkness isn’t so terrible. Without this awareness, it would be impossible to live,” Black Glasses said with a smile. “He didn’t find the wrong person. I may not be the most suitable, but no one is more suitable than me.”

“So, what does robbing this tomb have to do with the concrete block?” Fatty asked.

Little Brother Zhang smiled and looked at the back room. “Do you know the Five Ghosts Transportation ritual?”

Fatty and I looked at each other but didn’t answer. Little Brother Zhang flipped over a tall glass cup on the tea table and then moved a corner of the tablecloth to cover it. He let go and shouted to the back room, “Qianjun, show them.”

I saw the cup under the tablecloth move, and then Little Brother Zhang pulled the tablecloth off. The cup that was originally empty now had a pair of reading glasses inside it.

“Liu Qian (1)?” Fatty looked at the back room. “Shit, did everyone come to do this job?”

The door of the back room clicked open and a Taoist priest with disheveled hair came out. He looked at us and snorted, “Why are you talking nonsense with them? The Zhang family doesn’t need other people’s help.”
