71: Chapter 31: Thigh and Teammates
Tianhai City.
On this day, the sumr heat was scorching, and the sky was a clear expanse of blue.
The azure do was vast and boundless, a perfect day for going out.
Cen Dongsheng got out of the taxi and glanced at the plaque hanging next to the automatic door.
He looked up to see several residential buildings standing side by side.
The community was lush with greenery, flanked by verdant shrubs and trees, with a few winding paths faintly visible, stretching inward.
“Golden Sunshine Estate…
Hmm, this is the place.”
He walked to the security office, registering as a visitor under the wary gaze of the security guard.
He then turned and walked along the path.
Along the way, he encountered several residents of the community, and upon noticing his approach, all of them involuntarily reacted the sa way as the guard at the gate: a mix of wariness and fear.
A woman with a child, upon seeing him, held her child tightly and circumvented him entirely.
Cen Dongsheng thought to himself that he now seed too intimidating for ordinary people, reminiscent of the “ancient generals who could stop children from crying” of old.
He didn’t like dealing with people anyway, so it didn’t matter much to him.
In fact, Curse Forbidden Masters gave ordinary people this kind of feeling naturally.
Regardless of whether they underwent physical changes, their souls had transcended the mundane, resulting in a distinctive aura that set them apart from common folk.
Particularly, Cen Dongsheng, who possessed the Power of Tiger Demon, stood out in this regard…
In so ways, he was as noticeable as Sister Zhi Zhen herself.
He looked decent, but not in a pretty boy, handso way.
He was more like a cool guy with a stern disposition; coupled with his tall, strong build, his buzz cut, and his usual indifferent expression, he easily reminded people of a nacing figure.
…
Cen Dongsheng walked into one of the residential buildings and took the elevator up.
In the narrow, enclosed space, the intimidation emanating from this man beca even more palpable, weighing heavily on those around him.
It caused a middle-aged man getting on the elevator midway to instinctively move to the corner, shoulders hunched, looking quite pitiable.
Finally, he arrived at his destination and knocked on the door.
A small window on the door opened, and a young woman in casual ho attire, wearing glasses, looked at the silent visitor standing at her door.
Her expression predictably turned to fear and caution.
She glanced warily to either side of Cen Dongsheng and cautiously asked, “May I ask, who are you…”
“I’m ‘Dongsheng.'”
His response was straightforward and firm.
“We agreed to et.”
“Eh?
So you are…”
The hostess was taken aback, clearly not expecting it.
“Yeah.
I’m the one who contacted you in the forum.
You’re ‘Pearl Little Radish,’ right?”
Cen Dongsheng had co this ti to help soone catch ghosts.
For a while, the You Mountain Strange Tales board on the World Forum would beco increasingly lively with the rise of the “first wave.”
Compared to fictional ghost stories, real supernatural experiences, and help-seeking posts began to erge frequently on the board.
Coupled with the deliberate guidance of the website itself, this soon beca a hub for communication between ordinary people and Curse Forbidden Masters.
Simply put, so people encountered ghosts and were powerless; anwhile, so Curse Forbidden Masters, needing to improve by refining yin energy and prohibition, hunted ghosts to enhance their abilities.
Naturally, both parties would hit it off, with Curse Forbidden Masters often also receiving worldly rewards, achieving multiple gains with one effort.
In the early days, those Curse Forbidden Masters who belonged to the Order Camp usually had this kind of part-ti job.
This was the value of the World Forum for many people who couldn’t do without it.
Cen Dongsheng had now beco one of them.
Sister Zhi Zhen wanted him to beco famous quickly, known among the Curse Forbidden Master community.
The forum was the most convenient dium to achieve this.
Cen Dongsheng didn’t mind becoming famous.
He wasn’t one to hide his talents and live secretly, regardless of how powerful he beca, only to be looked down upon wherever he went…
That would be too pathetic, and he didn’t like proving his strength in such a fishing-like way.
As for how to beco famous, he only needed to prove himself with actions and leave the rest to Sister Zhi Zhen.
She was adept at manipulating people’s hearts and was the mastermind behind the World Forum, making it easy for anyone to stand out.
Back to the main point—
Before the sumr vacation ended, Cen Dongsheng had moved to his new ho in Tianhai City.
In the following weeks, he completed over a dozen supernatural-related commissions in the city.
So of them were instances where the people involved had ghosts in their hearts, a false alarm; the remaining ten were all genuinely haunted cases.
The probability was a bit higher than expected.
Although the commissions Sister Zhi Zhen gave him were specially selected, the frequency of occurrences said quite a lot.
“Dark undercurrents are surging.”
As Cen Dongsheng completed his commissions, he gained clearer insights and deeper understanding of the current global trends and developnts.
Before this, although he had the ability to “foresee the future,” most of his knowledge ca from hearsay after becoming a Curse Forbidden Master.
So things could only be fully comprehended through personal involvent.
Since, at this ti in his past life, he really was just an ordinary college student.
“There were a few tis when soone accidentally witnessed a mass of Floating Spirits passing by in places with concentrated yin energy like graveyards and unfinished buildings; the rest were Lonely Souls inhabiting people’s hos.”
