Chapter 92: Chapter 92: Unfinished Villa_1
"Whether he’s a little charlatan or a great charlatan, as long as he can help me complete the mission, he’s a good charlatan! Let’s go to the southeast one kilometer away, like you said. If we don’t find anything, we’ll come back and search one kilometer to the northwest. I want to see whether Qi Hong’s expensive positioning equipment is useful or if this free charlatan is more useful!"
Song Sisi was also uncertain, was the locator more accurate, or was Qin Feng more accurate?
So, she made a decision that would satisfy both possibilities.
A quarter of an hour later, a group of people arrived at the location determined by the locator.
This was an unfinished detached villa, covering an area of two to three acres.
The entire building was enveloped in a layer of black mist.
Whistling cold wind swept through, causing wailing sounds to echo out.
It felt somewhat eerie.
Qin Feng wasn’t scared at all.
Xue Xiaochan slightly furrowed her brow, feeling a bit scared in her heart.
But when she thought of Qin Feng being by her side, she wasn’t scared anymore.
Song Sisi, the tough girl, not only wasn’t frightened but even felt curious.
She even pulled out her phone and recorded a video.
Qi Hong was scared, but he couldn’t show it!
So, he drew his service pistol and held it in hand to embolden himself.
The other team members also drew their guns.
Seeing this, Qin Feng hurriedly reminded them.
"Aren’t we just looking for some online celebrities who got lost here?
There are no bad guys, so what’s the use of drawing your guns?
Are you going to shoot ghosts with them?
Ghosts don’t have physical bodies, bullets are useless against them.
So, you’d better put your guns away.
Otherwise, if we actually encounter a ghost later and you start shooting wildly, you’ll end up injuring or killing our own people."
Qi Hong and the others had drawn their guns, which originally didn’t bother Song Sisi.
But once Qin Feng put it that way, she immediately realized the danger of such an action.
So, she quickly ordered, "Put all your guns away."
Of course, Qi Hong was defiant.
Not only did he not put away his gun, but he also argued, "Captain Song, since when did our Patrol Team start taking orders from a little charlatan?"
"We’re not here to capture criminals, we’re here to lead those lost online celebrities out, there’s no need for guns!"
"Moon Lake has been abandoned for so long, what if there are bad guys here?"
"Bad guys?" Qin Feng glanced around and said, "There are indeed bastards here, but your guns are useless against them."
This statement shocked Song Sisi.
"You’re saying there are bad guys here?"
"Not only are there bad guys, but he also intentionally lured you here. His purpose is to take your lives!"
"To take our lives? Why?"
"Because he’s conducting an evil ritual and needs the valiant spirits of your Patrol Team. That’s why he gave those online celebrities the chance to call for help. At the same time, he deliberately made you fix the location to this place. In short, this is not a place to linger; we cannot enter this villa. We should withdraw!"
"Withdraw? How can we withdraw without rescuing the people?"
"Haven’t I told you? The people you want to save aren’t here, they’re in the northwest direction. This villa is extremely dangerous; I could go in alone without a problem. But bringing a large group like you, especially when some don’t listen and keep drawing their guns, the risk is high. It would be bad if something were to happen inside."
Qin Feng’s words were met with a cold laugh from Qi Hong.
"Ha!" After laughing, he sneered, "With so many people accompanying you, you’re still afraid to go in. You say you’d be fine alone? Just admit you’re a coward. What’s with the act? If you’re too scared to go in, that’s your problem—I’m not!"
Having said that, Qi Hong swung his arm grandly and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"
Several team members followed Qi Hong and left.
"Wait a moment!"
Song Sisi called out from behind but to no avail.
These team members had come out with Qi Hong, so of course, they listened to him.
Song Sisi was anxious and turned to Qin Feng desperately, "What should we do?"
"What else can we do but follow them? However, I want to make it clear upfront that if they don’t listen to orders, I can’t look after them. If danger arises, my wife comes first. Once she is safe and sound, I’ll consider you. Only then will I think about those team members - as for Qi Hong who’s courting death, he’s left to his own fate."
"No! They are all under my lead. Even if I die, they can’t be harmed!"
"If you want them all to be safe, there’s only one way - tell them to leave all their guns outside. That includes you; you are not allowed to bring a gun inside either!"
Qin Feng said this very seriously, and Song Sisi believed him immediately.
"Everyone, stop right there!"
With her roar, she managed to halt all the disobedient team members.
"Put down all the guns! Anyone who doesn’t, I’m kicking them out as soon as we get back!"
Song Sisi set an example by putting down her gun first.
Having struggled to get into the Patrol Team, no one wanted to be expelled.
Moreover, their mission was to guide a lost web celebrity out, not to catch a criminal; guns were indeed not necessary.
So, the team members all put down their service weapons.
"Dig a hole and bury the guns! We’ll dig them up after we have brought the people out."
At Song Sisi’s command, the team members started working.
The guns were buried, but one was missing.
Because Qi Hong did not hand over his service weapon.
Song Sisi was furious and demanded, pointing at his nose, "What are you trying to do, Qi Hong?"
"Although we are here to rescue people, and the call for help just mentioned they were lost, what if there are criminals? So, it’s better if I keep my gun with me. Don’t worry, Captain Song, I promise I won’t draw my weapon unless the criminals appear."
Song Sisi looked at Qin Feng but he gave no indication of his stance.
Consequently, she had no choice but to tacitly accept Qi Hong’s action.
The group walked into the unfinished villa.
Qin Feng whispered into Xue Xiaochan’s ear, "Stay close to me and don’t stray away. If you lose me, just shout ’husband’ loudly."
After speaking, Qin Feng bit open his index finger and drew a charm on Xue Xiaochan’s chest with his blood.
This was a protective charm!
It would last an hour and ward off malevolent spirits!
Only realizing late, Xue Xiaochan gave Qin Feng a light hit and scolded, "You dog, taking advantage of your sister and staining my dress."
"Would I draw if I wanted to take advantage? Obviously, grabbing feels much better!"
"You bastard!"
Their banter caught Song Sisi’s attention.
"What are you two doing?"
"I drew a protective charm for Xiaochan. Do you want one too? If you do, I can draw one for you as well."
This proposition made Xue Xiaochan uncomfortable.
The place where Qin Feng drew the charm was on the chest.
Even through clothing, that was absolutely unacceptable.
Before Song Sisi could respond, Xue Xiaochan rejected the offer for her.
"Sisi doesn’t need it! Besides, that ghostly peach charm of yours is just a trick to deceive old lady, utterly useless."
