Weird cultivation of immortality starts with possessing a mysterious book

Chapter 79 Make a friend?

When I came to the Exorcist Division again, what I saw before me was completely different from the previous times.

I saw people coming and going in the Exorcist Department, and many unfamiliar faces crowded into the mansion.

While confused, Gu Xing's eyes suddenly lit up, and a member of the Exorcist Division that he had seen before appeared in his eyes.

So he hurriedly grabbed the other party, pointed at the Exorcist Division, and asked.

"Brother, what's going on? Why are there so many people in the Exorcist Division?"

The other party was stunned for a moment, recognized Gu Xing, and then sighed.

"Alas, it is said that the new director was transferred from another city."

"Oh, then why is my brother so depressed?"

The other party gritted his teeth.

"After they arrived, they didn't do anything serious. They just moved things around all day long. They didn't know what they were busy with. Instead of reducing our stress, they actually delayed our work."

"No, I almost died from exhaustion from running around today."

"Stop talking, I have to go back and rest."

"Brother, walk slowly."

This conversation made Gu Xing fall into deep thought.

With so many people suddenly here, what does the new director want to do?

But after much deliberation, there was no result, so he walked into the Exorcist Division.

The people inside glanced at them and turned their heads indifferently.

Their performance immediately made Gu Xing frown.

This doesn't quite resemble the behavior of the exorcists.

But he didn't interfere with these people, he just observed them with his peripheral vision as he walked inside.

However, their movements suddenly stopped, as if they noticed his gaze, and then they all looked at him.

Gu Xing suddenly felt his scalp numb, so he had to lead Roy inside quickly.

After they left the courtyard, these people continued to work with their heads down.

When they arrived at a room, Lao Hu was already waiting for them. There were several lunch boxes and a bottle of wine on the table in front of them.

"Want to eat?" Lao Hu asked.

Gu Xing shook his head and refused. They had already eaten in the canteen before coming.

"What's going on with those people outside?" he asked.

"I don't know." Lao Hu's mouth was full of greasy food without even raising his head.

"I don't think they look like the ones driving away the spooks?" Gu Xing asked tentatively.

Lao Hu shrugged and said nonchalantly.

"Who knows, if the director says they are, then they are."

Not getting any useful information from Lao Hu, Gu Xing had no choice but to give up and wait for him to finish eating.

After eating, it was almost time for the night watch, and the three of them went out together.

But the courtyard that was crowded before was now empty, leaving only a rocking chair at the door, swaying gently in the wind.

Gu Xing was confused.

Where have they gone?

……

There is a tavern in the east of the city, among which rice wine is a specialty, and the business is quite prosperous.

Especially at nightfall, the crowds are even more lively. Many busy people in the surrounding area choose to come here to get drunk to relieve their hard work during the day.

The manager of the tavern is a middle-aged man with a friendly face. He is serving snacks and wine while greeting people coming and going.

Then, he walked into the inner room and continued to prepare new wine and snacks.

At this moment, a man who looked a little downcast walked in.

He lowered his head and walked slowly.

"Oh, New Year, you're here." An acquaintance greeted me.

The man raised his head, eyes blank, and stretched out his hand.

"To make friends."

"what?"

The man drank some wine and didn't quite understand it. He thought he was saying hello, so he smiled and stretched out his hand to hold it.

However, this grip made his body freeze.

"what happened?"

Someone tapped him on the shoulder and asked.

He didn't answer, but took out his hand and said with a stiff smile on his face.

"To make friends?"

The dim light shone on his friend's face, which was all red. He obviously drank too much, but he didn't touch it. Instead, he slapped his face and cursed with a smile.

"what are you playing?"

"To make friends?"

Without dropping his hand, the man continued.

His friend finally felt something strange, but still stretched out his hand.

"Why, what's there..."

The voice stopped suddenly, and his friend froze in place.

The pub is quite big, with more than ten tables.

Coupled with the noisy crowd, what happened at this table did not attract the attention of others.

But at this time, the three of them all walked to the side.

"Make a friend?" they said.

Some people felt strange and did not move.

But some people were drunk and their consciousness was already hazy. When they saw someone reaching out, they grabbed it.

Then, as if a virus had spread, most people in the tavern became stiff.

At this time, someone finally noticed something was wrong. They were startled and lost all their drunkenness in an instant.

Then, they want to escape.

But the three people at the beginning were standing in front of the door, reaching out to them.

"To make friends?"

"no, do not want."

Someone retracted his hands into his sleeves and hid them behind his back.

But at this time, the situation seemed to be too much for them to refuse.

Several people gathered around and reached out to his hand, wanting to take the initiative to be friends with him.

"no, do not want……"

The sound stopped suddenly again.

At this time, the shopkeeper came out of the back room carrying things.

He heard the noise outside, so he asked loudly as he walked.

"what happened?"

As soon as he came out, his steps suddenly stopped in place.

With a "pop" sound, the thing in his hand fell to the ground.

I saw dozens of eyes looking at him in the tavern and reaching out to him.

"To make friends?"

……

Today, the place where Gu Xing and the three of them were patrolling at night was in the east of the city.

This area was previously in charge of another group of people, but they were injured yesterday, so they were temporarily sent here.

Lao Hu had no objection, after all, he was familiar with the whole city.

As for Gu Xing and the other two, they were solely there to prevent accidents, and it was useless to talk.

After all, these days, apart from playing tricks, they have not contributed much.

Of course, if the previous reminder when facing the Widow Maker could be considered a contribution, it would still be of some use, but not much.

The three of them continued walking on the street. As they walked, Lao Hu chatted with them.

"I remember there was a delicious steamed stuffed bun shop here, but it was only open in the morning. I couldn't get up at that time. If you can get up, you can come and try it."

"Their braised pig's trotters are delicious. Do you two want it?"

"No, that would be a pity."

The old Hutu carried three braised pig trotters and gnawed them as he walked.

The two of them had calm expressions and were obviously quite used to it.

After chewing two pig trotters, Lao Hu wiped his mouth with his sleeve, adding another stain to his blue-black uniform.

Then he touched his belly and said.

"You've already eaten, how can you not have wine?"

"I remember there is an old tavern not far ahead. Their rice wine is excellent. Let's hurry up and have a drink."

After saying that, his steps became a little faster.

Helpless, Gu Xing and Roy could only follow in a hurry.

After turning a few corners, they came to the old tavern that Lao Hu had mentioned.

The lights in the tavern were brightly lit, and through the windows one could see a lot of people inside.
