Chapter 563: Maplewood Building

Chapter 563 Maplewood Building

The purpose of buying a mahogany sword instead of a mahogany sword is to make it easier to make a baton.

 Let the police use batons, they are still familiar with it, but they are familiar with using mahogany swords... I am afraid not many can understand it.

Superintendent Hu didn't even know if his subordinates could use the talisman. He bought this batch of yellow paper, cinnabar, etc. so that it could be used by advisors such as Zhang Tianshi and Zhong Daozhang when necessary.

Everyone can bring a bottle of dog blood and chicken blood. It is convenient to put it in a sprayer and carry it with you. This is what the exorcist Ma's lady did.

In addition, if you want to exorcise demons and catch ghosts, it is very important to be able to see ghosts.

Those who have practiced magic and are good at it can also open their eyes and see the hidden monsters and ghosts. Their subordinates are all ordinary people. The only way to solve this problem is to rely on equipment.

  It was still the person from the Ma family who helped solve this problem. The glasses she used had this function.

But the pair of glasses are specially made. If the police want them, they need to be specially made and will take some time to arrive.

“Now I just barely put together a framework. As you know, these are all police officers under me. Although they have received various trainings in the police academy, they really do not include exorcism, catching ghosts, and fighting zombies, so..."

 “Want to buy a batch of modern weapons from me specifically designed to deal with monsters and monsters?”

“It doesn’t have to be a weapon, bullets that can exorcise demons can also be used.”

David nodded to show that he understood. The bullets would at least allow the police's guns to function as they should. Otherwise, if there was a supernatural incident, his subordinates would die if they were sent out. Even if Superintendent Hu was not dismissed from his post, he himself I don't have the nerve to continue doing it.

"I have a question."

"You say."

“If I get a batch of weapons with exorcism capabilities, does it count as arms smuggling?”

"Ah..." Superintendent Hu was stunned for a moment. He really didn't think about it. He thought carefully and studied it carefully, and finally said with a wrinkle: "Forget it."

David made a move. He didn't want to make a fuss about himself, so selling weapons directly was definitely not an option.

“Then, could you please give them a shotgun, or a bullet, or a blessing or something?”

Superintendent Hu didn’t mention holy water or anything like that. In his opinion, it was one of the items he would definitely buy, and it could also be used in a sprayer.

“Let’s do this, I’ll get a batch of amulets and give you a box that can nourish the divine power.”

 “Box? What’s it for?”

“Usually store bullets in a box. The bullets stored inside will be contaminated with some sacred power. They should be enough to deal with ordinary ghosts and monsters.”

"Oh, this is a great idea." Superintendent Hu was very happy after hearing David's introduction. This thing is a big help. In this way, not only pistols can be used, but also sprays, grenades, etc. can be used?

“Let me make it clear first, this thing is not permanent. The sacred power in the box is limited. If it is used up, it will become an ordinary box.”

"That's not a problem." It's just like buying bullets. It's a consumable. Superintendent Hu doesn't care at all. He doesn't have to pay the bill anyway: "But how big is that box?"

 “How big does Superintendent Hu want it to be?”

Superintendent Hu looked at David, then looked to the side, and pointed at the locker: "Is there one as big as this?"

"have."

 “How long will it last?”

 “That depends on what price you buy.”

Like a good person, Superintendent Hu immediately understood that most of this stuff was processed by David himself. What he wanted would depend on how much money he could afford.

 “What if I want a filing cabinet or a bookshelf as big as that?”

"That's okay!" David didn't beat around the bush and simply offered the price: "One million Hong Kong dollars can guarantee that the ammunition stored inside will be endowed with sufficient divine power."

 But there can only be one cabinet, and the ammunition in this cabinet is exhausted. You must either buy a new cabinet or ask David to help recharge it.

"Okay!" Superintendent Hu was very satisfied. Such a large cabinet can store a lot of ammunition. Even if his department consumes ammunition faster than ordinary departments, it can be used for a long time.

 One million sounds like a lot, but it is nothing to the wealthy police force!

 As for the amulets, there are ten thousand.

What was sold this time was not the powerful amulet that Feiying bought. What David sold to Superintendent Hu was an ordinary amulet, which could ensure that the police officers would not be attacked, possessed, or controlled by evil spirits.

"Ten amulets first... no, twenty or thirty!" Superintendent Hu considered taking a few amulets back to his family to prevent monsters from threatening him through his family. To protect your family is to protect yourself. The logic is sound!

 “A few more bottles of holy water…”

 “I’ll get it all for you, twenty bottles.”

 After successfully negotiating a deal, David and Superintendent Hu were very satisfied.

“By the way, does Mr. Glamorgan have any tricks or techniques that he can teach my men?”

In addition to helping buy a batch of equipment, Master Zhang Lihua and Zhang Tianshi also promised to teach some basic common sense when they are free to ensure that Superintendent Hu’s men will not know what to do when they encounter various ghosts and monsters?

There are also some ways to use magic weapons. When necessary, you can use no magic power and rely solely on your own energy and spirit to force it. Maybe you can save your life at a critical moment.

Zhong Daochang also promised to teach some skills from time to time, and also promised to teach some small methods that did not require magic power and could be used by ordinary people.   Such as chanting mantras, setting up formations, borrowing strength, etc.

   It feels like those masters have been plucked out a lot of wool by themselves, and Mr. Glamorgan cannot miss it here either.

“I’m afraid I’m going to disappoint Superintendent Hu. The method I use to deal with monsters is very simple and crude.”

"oh?"

“If you can’t kill with one shot, shoot ten times. If that doesn’t work, use rockets.”

   …”

Superintendent Hu didn't know how to evaluate David's exorcism method. As for the shooting and rocket launchers, he just pretended that he didn't hear anything.

After chatting for a few more words, the two walked out of Superintendent Hu's office.

 In the big office, Zhou Xingxing finally recovered from his stiffness, and got a good understanding of the work he was about to face from his new colleagues.

At the same time, he also understood why his colleagues were not surprised, because except for himself, these colleagues had all encountered supernatural events.

The police station where Inspector He Fenni and Wu Ying worked was haunted by the Ghost King.

Moon encountered a zombie when he returned to his hometown. Karen accompanied her friend home and was lucky enough to see the existence of a zombie.

 In addition, David was present when these people encountered these things. Only then did Zhou Xingxing know that David was actually a very powerful exorcist, so he became a consultant for this new department.

 “What is all this mess?”

Although everyone is talking about it in a flashy and superficial way, Zhou Xingxing still thinks that these guys are playing tricks on him.

"Chief Zhou, since you have joined this department, you will see me sooner or later. Do you want to get an amulet back first? Keep it with you just in case?"

   …”

“How about this, Chief Zhou, since our department hasn’t officially started work yet, let’s take advantage of this period to find a place that is full of gloom and easily haunted to camp, so that Chief Zhou can get familiar with the future working environment?”

As soon as Wu Ying finished speaking, he was immediately disliked by others.

In addition, Superintendent Hu also came out. After hearing this, he immediately yelled: "Nonsense! We are a department that solves supernatural incidents, not create supernatural incidents. If there is nothing, you still want to create something, right?"

“Sir, I just want Commander Zhou to adapt to his new job as soon as possible!”

As he was talking, the phone rang suddenly. Everyone present was stunned, and all their eyes fell on Superintendent Hu.

Superintendent Hu looked back and saw that the phone in his office was ringing. This was the first time the phone rang since their department moved in.

   …”

Superintendent Hu adjusted his clothes, then walked back to the office with a serious face and answered the phone: "This is the Special Affairs Investigation Division! Yes, it's me! Okay, Director! I understand, Director!"

 The phone hung up. Although no one heard what was said on the phone, everyone understood what happened: work is coming!

Superintendent Hu came out and looked at everyone: "I believe you have guessed it. Yes, the first case of our Special Affairs Investigation Section is here. This time everyone is mobilized to try to give our Special Affairs Investigation Section a good start. .”

Then he looked at Zhou Xingxing: "Although you are still on vacation, I also hope that you can participate in this operation and adapt to the new working environment as soon as possible. This will be very helpful for your future work."

Zhou Xingxing raised his hand to refuse, but Superintendent Hu didn't give him a chance to speak at all and continued: "The place we want to investigate this time is called Maplewood Building. It is an older apartment building. Because it is haunted, For this reason, almost all the residents in the building have moved out, which has had a very bad impact on the surrounding neighborhoods."

“Our superiors ordered us to find out as soon as possible whether Maplewood Mansion is really haunted? Or is someone pretending to be a ghost and creating rumors?”

 If someone is causing trouble, the person who caused the trouble must be arrested and handed over to brothers in other departments for follow-up processing;

If it is really haunted, then they will have to find a way to clean up the ghosts and then announce to the outside world that there is no haunting here. The so-called haunting is a rumor deliberately spread by someone in order to maliciously lower housing prices...

 As for the investigation method, everyone pretended to be new residents and moved into Maplewood Building.

“In other words...being an undercover agent?”

Zhou Xingxing was keenly aware of the key words.

"Almost! Later, He Fenni will take people to bring back all the relevant information about Maplewood Building. When everyone is ready, the official action will begin tomorrow."

 After the explanation, Superintendent Hu had not forgotten David: "Mr. Glamorgan, would you like to go to that building together?"

David looked at Cheng Leer next to him: "Would you like to join in the fun?"

 In the past, Cheng Leer would have stayed far away. Now that he knows David's strength and no longer worries about danger, he finds this excitement quite interesting.
