Chapter 71: This world is unscientific (2)
Teacher Ren looked at the fanatical expressions of the men, women, young and old in front of him and quickly flipped through his current identity in his mind. In the end, he was shocked to find that his identity had gotten worse with each lifetime. Although he was a villain turned undercover agent in his previous life, at least he had some real abilities, but in this world, he directly became a big ‘all natural no additives’ swindler.
It also seemed that he was a swindler of a very big feng shui master gang passing off as a home feng shui master. His greatest skill was to create something out of nothing. He would say so and so’s house had a problem and then the organisation would make some frightful things happen in the middle of the night, causing the victim to firmly believe that there was something wrong with their house. The victim would then come begging for help, fishing out their money to ask him to solve their problem.
Don’t think that this job is very simple and can be done by anyone. Firstly, you need to look like a master; kind-hearted, divine and sage-like, or at least look like an elite professional. Ren Zhu’s appearance most aligned with the second description. His looks, plus the white chang pao he was wearing, combined with his silver tongue, basically guaranteed that he could hook his target every time.
So, despite Master Ren being a conman, he was also a successful conman. He relied on his solid scamming skills to afford his own house and car in this big city. This really was a very inspiring story.
Pei.
Ren Zhu spat in his heart and sighed. Clearly, this batch of men, women, young and old in front of him were the new clients chosen by the organisation. If he acted according to usual, he would select three of the people who looked the richest and easiest to scam. Despite being a conman, Ren Zhu’s predecessor had managed to earn his own house and car. He definitely wasn’t an ordinary conman. He had a lot of professionalism and and his ability to select people was even more extraordinary. Which people were easy to scam, which people weren’t easy to scam, who could be moved, who couldn’t be moved, his predecessor could tell at a glance. Only then was he able to make a name for himself in the world of scammers.
It’s a pity that this guy was put to death by the evil spirit residing in the house of one of his victims.
And now, that evil spirit was currently behind a middle aged aunt sitting in the third seat in the first row, bearing his fangs at him. All that was missing was it pulling the middle finger at him.
Teacher Ren: “Hehe.” A class teacher’s dignity mustn’t be provoked, even if the other person is a ghost!
“Miss Pang, this mister wearing gold rimmed glasses and this beautiful lady in the red dress, please stay behind. The rest of you can leave. I have just examined all of your qi and looked at everyone’s situations. Only the conditions of these three are serious. For the other guests, so long as you rest early and exercise more, then there won’t be any major problems in the future. I thank everyone for taking the time out of your busy schedules to come and attend this lecture, but the situation with these three is really quite serious. I must resolve this as soon as possible, so please come again next time!”
Ren Zhu directly asked the three people with evil spirits behind them to stay behind. Today, he didn’t talk about anything and just asked the rest to leave, causing the big group attending the lecture to be slightly stunned. However, once they reacted, they felt that Master Ren was indeed a master! He attached the most importance to human life! Hence, everyone neatly got up and left, causing the host to feel like he was almost choked to death.
He turned his head and fiercely stared at Ren Zhu, trying to use his eyes to express his dissatisfaction and confusion! Why did you let so many big fish go? At least, you also need to sway everyone to purchase one of our protective talismans! 30 people is 30,000 yuan ah! Did you brain get eaten by evil spirits?!
Unfortunately, this subtle glare had no effect on Teacher Ren.
“Master Ren! Master Ren! Hurry up and tell us, what is wrong with my house? Ever since you made me aware that there was something wrong with my house, I wasn’t able to sleep well at night. I always dream that my dead son has come to me, shouting and causing a racket. Also, in the middle of the night, something would always be smashed without any reason. I’m already mentally exhausted. Master, you said that you’ll think of a solution, but 5 days have already passed. Have you still not found a proper solution?”
Miss Pang looked extremely anxious and haggard, and perhaps because her emotions were stirred up, the evil spirit behind her also became agitated. It incessantly spun circles around her; even Ren Zhu couldn’t help but feel dizzy from looking at it. So, Teacher Ren subconsciously ordered:
“Stand still, don’t move!”
Ren Zhu’s words were quite unexpected, because in this room, besides the three people in front of him, the only people standing were himself and the host. But the problem was that neither of them were moving. Feeling wronged, the host directly replied: “I didn’t move!”
Teacher Ren clicked his tongue and didn’t say anything. He simply stared at the ghost behind Miss Pang that had suddenly stopped moving and was rooted to the spot.
The host followed his gaze and looked over. He inexplicably felt that the surrounding air seemed a little colder?! He hadn’t seen this guy for a few days; did his ability to deceive people rise another level?! Judging from Ren Zhu’s attitude, it looks like this was the case!
And at this moment, the evil spirit who involuntary stood on the spot and didn’t dare to flail about was completely stunned. Heaven knows that he’s already dead okay?! He was already a lawless evil spirit who could even enter dreams. How could he possibly listen to an ordinary person’s command?! But just then, he suddenly felt a sense of fear as though he was seeing his senior high school teacher. In an instant, he didn’t dare to cause a ruckus or run around. Having not experienced it for a year after he died, the feeling of being reprimanded by a class teacher once again returned, causing the evil spirit to not know how he should react.
At this moment, Ren Zhu’s mind was also turning fast. He didn’t expect that his skill would actually also be effective on ghosts. But if this was the case, then he would at least have some ability to protect himself in this world. Otherwise, any random evil spirit would be able to kill him just like what happened to his predecessor. Adding on the system’s reminder to ‘unlock and upgrade the class teacher skills as much as possible’, Teacher Ren thought for a moment and decided to do an experiment.
He walked up to the evil spirit that was still standing rooted to the spot and directly said: “Although I don’t know why you are pestering Miss Pang, but I can try and let you speak. If you can truthfully tell me the reason, then I might be able to find a senior monk to help you find peace. However, if you don’t talk and continue to cause trouble, then I will punish you.”
The senior high school evil spirit, specifically Miss Pang’s son Pang Fei, sneered at these words. Does this conman think that he really is a master?! If he really were a master, then he wouldn’t have been scared to death by me last night! Also, ordinary people can’t hear a ghost talk, much less see them. This swindler is trying to scam his mother’s money again.
Thinking this, Pang Fei’s initially tranquil expression instantly became sinister. Although his mother wasn’t that educated, she still raised him by herself. It was a pity that he died. However, even though he’s dead, he still mustn’t let anyone bully his mother!! He must kill this swindler in front of him!!
“Imagine that your void body starts to have weight; starting from your foot, your body gradually materialises; your blood from ice-cold to warm; your appearance from malevolent to gentle. Imagine that you didn’t die and are still alive in this world; you have the people you love the most, and the people that love you the most. They miss you. Imagine the things you haven’t completed; you start to feel determined and resolute; things can’t be left unfinished, right? So, even if you’re now a ghost, you need to become a different ghost. You can let the people who care about you see your appearance and hear your voice.”
Ren Zhu’s voice gently flowed out. As soon as Pang Fei heard it, he couldn’t help but follow his words and start to imagine. Then, he felt that he seemed to have really gotten heavier, from nothing to having substance. Finally, he thought of the things he was most angry and regretful about in his life.
“Oh my God!! Xiao Fei!!”
Pang Fei still hadn’t snapped out from his own thoughts. He saw that his mother was extremely emotional and had gotten up from her chair to rush over and hug him. It was a pity that even though he now looked a lot like a person, he was still a ghost. However, it still allowed his worried mother to finally be able to see him.
“Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei! Xiao Fei ah!” Miss Pang’s eyes were brimming with tears. It had already been a year since her son passed away. Seeing that her son was now actually beside her, she was so moved that she didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, Pang Fei was also feeling emotional even as a ghost. However, he was also a little surprised. Could it be that this person wasn’t actually a swindler, but rather a hidden master? But if that were the case, how does this explain his extremely stupid behaviour before?
Pang Fei felt that this was quite puzzling.
Hearing the system’s beep, Ren Zhu was very satisfied with his performance.
[Ding. The host’s talent is very awe-inspiring. You have unlocked a new skill. The ‘class teacher’s hypothesis’: Through your description and imagination, you can change the target’s thoughts and some of their states (level 1, upgradeable). The system thinks that this is a very powerful skill. Please work hard to upgrade it.]
[Ding. The host has triggered the class teacher’s hypothesis skill: Target Pang Fei (ghost) can be seen by people who want to see him. The time limit is 10 minutes, after which a weak state is triggered.]
Hearing the system’s countdown, Ren Zhu looked at Mother Pang who was crying and Pang Fei who was still in a daze and said: “Alright, I can only use this technique for 10 minutes. If you have anything you want to say to your mother, say it now. When you’re done, hurry up and go reincarnate. Stop worrying your mother even after you’ve died.”
Hearing the last sentence, Pang Fei revealed a guilty expression. He wanted to hold his mother’s rough hands, but his hands could only pass right through them.
“…… Xiao Fei ah……” At this moment, Mother Pang was already a sobbing mess: “Mother is here. You, you still haven’t reincarnated yet. Is, is there something you haven’t finished that you want to complete? You can rest assured, so long as you say it, then no matter how hard it is, mother will help you do it! Even if mother can’t do it, we also have Master Ren! He will definitely help us!”
Pang Fei’s and Ren Zhu’s mouths twitched at the same time. Just when Pang Fei was about to say something, the big door of the conference hall was suddenly kicked open from the outside.
Perhaps describing it as a kick was too mild. From what Ren Zhu and the others could see, the door didn’t seem like it was kicked open at all, but rather it had been split open!
The next moment, 4 youthful adults appeared in front of them. Two men and two women. They looked handsome, cold and ruthless, pampered, and gentle; nothing in common with each other. However, at this moment, their expressions were exactly the same —– looks of despise and disdain.
“Damned swindler! You actually dared to used our Xuan Dao‘s name and reputation to scam people! Just watch us arrest you guys and make you go dig in a mine!!”
Ren Zhu: “……” Couldn’t you have chosen another time?
The host: “!!” Oh my god! Are they finally going to be captured?!
Mother Pang and Pang Fei: “……” He clearly isn’t a swindler!
The glasses man and the red dress beauty: “……” As expected, that Miss Pang is an accomplice!
The ML is in this chapter! Guess who he is! Hehe~ He’s a little crazy in this arc.
