Chapter 67: The "Money Disease" Incident

Lu Yue's body shuddered.

The most heart-wrenching moment in life is when someone suddenly asks you if you are there on a chat app. At this moment, something bad is bound to happen.

Either they want to borrow money or they want to ask for something important.

Sure enough, just as Lu Yue put away his phone, he saw three people running towards him.

"Look, I told you it was Consultant Lu, how could I be wrong?" Xiao Ting pointed at Lu Yue in front of him with his usual carefree and excited attitude.

Being blocked, Lu Yue put away his phone, looked surprised and walked forward to say hello.

"What a coincidence. I just passed by and encountered a crackdown on prostitution. I saw three people who looked like you coming out. I didn't expect it was you. Are you okay?"

Guo Tao and the other two: "..."

This sounds weird, as if they were caught.

"Advisor Lu..."

"Just call me Lu Yue."

"Brother Lu, there is something I want to discuss with you, because the three of us have just received a regular assignment and encountered some difficult problems."

The way for interns in Taicheng Town Magic Bureau to become full-time employees is very simple. After handling a supernatural incident and passing the subsequent assessment, they can be converted to full-time employees. Only then will their work and benefits be truly improved.

Guo Tao and two other people formed a team and received a mission, but now they are in trouble.

"What mission?" Lu Yue became interested when he heard about the supernatural events.

"Brother Lu, have you heard of money disease?"

Lu Yue had a face full of question marks.

I have only heard of diseases of affluence and diseases of poverty, but I have never heard of money diseases.

"The thing is like this..."

As Guo Tao narrates the story, a bizarre and thrilling case gradually comes to light.

It turned out that a private hospital recently received a patient with a strange disease.

His whole body is covered with banknote patterns, covered in layers of red banknotes, like tattoos, the density of which is shocking.

The attending physician was terrified and quickly called the police. People from the Demon Suppression Division arrived immediately and controlled the patient in time. After examination, they found that he had turned into a half-human, half-ghost.

Later, when the incident was classified as a supernatural event and uploaded to the task bar of the Demon Suppression Bureau, it happened that Guo Tao and his two companions wanted to become regular employees, and they accepted the job in seconds with their quick hands.

As a result, the case got deeper and reached a deadlock.

After just two days of investigation, we found several similar patients.

It's just that the severity varies.

"Have you checked the surveillance footage, interpersonal relationships, bank card transactions..." Lu Yue didn't know how to investigate cases, but when he watched videos he often saw netizens teaching security guards how to solve cases, so he thought there should be some truth to it and it would help gather ideas.

"It's still under investigation. No findings have been made so far. It looks like a ghost behind the scenes is randomly harming people." Guo Tao and the other two shook their heads and sighed, with worried looks on their faces.

If it is a ghost that randomly harms people, the investigation will be more complicated.

Lu Yue pondered, and suddenly remembered what had just happened and asked, "What does this have to do with you coming out of the hotel?"

"It's somewhat related. We just received a report from enthusiastic citizens that a hotel was engaged in illegal transactions. The nearby security guards conducted a surprise inspection and found that something strange happened to one of the people. Then they notified the Demon Suppression Department."

“We rushed here as soon as we got the news.”

"Go and take a look." Lu Yue said.

Although he had no clue, Lu Yue was curious about this strange incident.

The group hurried towards the security patrol car.

Before I got close, I heard a voice coming from inside.

"It's unfair, I am wronged!!!"

"I was on a business trip last night. After a busy day, I found a hotel to stay in. My boss said that he had recently launched a "room-sharing" service, where you can stay by paying half of the room fee to the other tenant. He asked me if I wanted to try it."

"I was a little hesitant at the time, but the boss took me to the second floor and a young lady opened the door. I was too tired at the time and thought I would just make do with it. I was too lazy to change rooms. Although the room was not worth 999 yuan, this innovative concept was still quite considerate."

"I really didn't do anything illegal!!!"

Guo Tao and others: "..."

Lu Yue gently opened the car door, and a pungent smell of blood rushed into his nose.

Turning to look at Guo Tao and the other two, I saw that they also had strange expressions on their faces, and it was obvious that they had also smelled this unusual smell.

"Only extraordinary people can smell this bloody smell." Guo Tao explained. "Leader, you must believe me!!!" Seeing Lu Yue and his companions appear, the man raised his voice to cover up his inner panic.

"Your name is Zheng Wangsheng, right? We are from the Demon Suppression Bureau. You can understand us as the specialists who handle supernatural events. Let's put aside what you did for now. You are in danger now. You are involved in a supernatural event." Wu Li said seriously.

However, seeing Wu Li's high school appearance, the man said, "Leader, you are trying to trick me. I have already said that I am innocent."

"I'm not talking about that incident, it's a supernatural event."

"I have been educated and I am a staunch materialist. I am wronged."

"..."

No matter how Wu Li asked, the other party was always wronged.

What a mess!

It was obvious that they were bullying Wu Li because he was not wearing a uniform and because he was young.

Wu Li was so anxious that he kept scratching his head. He had not expected that as an intern at the Demon Suppression Bureau, the most difficult thing to deal with was not the supernatural events, but dealing with such rogue citizens.

"Let him go." Lu Yue suddenly spoke.

"This is a good security guard in our Taicheng. Thank you for your keen observation and for clearing my name. Can I go now?" Zheng Wangsheng gave a thumbs up.

"Of course you can go."

Zheng Wangsheng left immediately, secretly delighted.

Lu Yue turned to look at Guo Tao and said, "Guo Tao, investigate his information and arrange for someone to come and collect the body in a few days. It's best to go at night so that it won't attract attention."

Zheng Wangsheng slipped and almost fell.

"Leader, I..."

"It's okay, go away, it's none of your business."

Zheng Wangsheng gritted his teeth and took a few more steps.

"Xiao Ting, go to the crematorium and ask if there are any burial sites. Draw a number first, and cremate the body as soon as possible after it's brought in. This will save a lot of time."

"Wu Li, when the time comes, you can take the ashes and scatter them anywhere you like."

"..."

"Leader, I was wrong, I admit it, I did something wrong, it was my fault that I couldn't control my second brother, I really know I was wrong, you arrest me, you arrest me..." Zheng Wangsheng's legs went weak, he turned around with tears streaming down his face, and immediately confessed his crime.

He didn't know why, but whenever he saw Lu Yue, he always felt an inexplicable deterrent force. What the other party said about taking away the corpse and cremating it seemed to be coming true. This was even more stressful than facing those security guards.

It is true that he did that kind of thing, but it is not a crime punishable by death.

Seeing that the other party was actively cooperating, Lu Yue went straight to the point.

"Undress."

Zheng Wangsheng was confused: "????"

Seeing Lu Yue's serious expression, Zheng Wangsheng began to unbutton his clothes tremblingly.

As soon as he took off his shirt, the densely packed red pattern of hundred-dollar bills on his back became clearly visible, so red that it looked as if it was soaked with blood.

Even though Lu Yue was mentally prepared, his eyelids twitched.

According to the statements of Guo Tao and the other two, this situation will become more and more serious until the person becomes half human, half ghost.

"Have you ever felt an itch somewhere on your body that no matter how hard you scratch it doesn't work?"

"How do you know?" Zheng Wangsheng was surprised. He did feel itchy on his back in the past few days, and he felt weak.

Lu Yue: "Do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"Is there...what's the difference?"

Lu Yue: "The lie is that you are addicted to money and can only live for a week."

"Impossible. I always take precautions to prevent myself from getting sick. What did you say? Money poison? You can only live for a week?"

"Fortunately this is fake, leader, what is the truth?" Zheng Wangsheng breathed a sigh of relief and muttered to himself that this leader was quite humorous.

"The truth is that he won't live for more than a week." Lu Yue said calmly.

He was not lying. The man in front of him was immediately poisoned by the money. If he was not treated, the red banknotes would spread all over his body and he would only live for three days at most.

"Officer, save me, save me..." Zheng Wangsheng immediately hugged Wu Li's thighs.

Wu Li: “????”
