Haunted Construction Site

"Is that century-old tomb really that strange? Impossible!" Yin Dang asked with feigned disbelief.
Qi Kairong, standing nearby, chimed in, "Don't be so skeptical. We saw it with our own eyes. After that exorcist ran off, our damn contractor also ran off. We've been left without a cent, and we don't know how we're going to face our families in the future."
"Then haven't you contacted the developer of the construction site?" Yin Dang asked again.
"Huh! The developer? After hearing about the century-old tomb, the developer kicked us out. That's how we ended up with nowhere to go." Qi Kairong gritted his teeth at the mention of the developer.
"Oh, there's actually such a thing."
After hearing the general idea, Yin Dang had a rough idea of what the century-old tomb was.
In this world, no matter what kind of demons or monsters there are, they all have different levels. The ghosts like the ones at Xiao Shihan's house were just ordinary little ghosts. Above little ghosts, there are little ghosts, fierce ghosts, evil ghosts, spirit ghosts, ghost generals, ghost kings, and so on. The one on the construction site mentioned by Li Jianzhi and the others must be at least evil ghost-level, perhaps even higher.
Yin Dang had encountered things of this level before, and his interest was piqued. He asked excitedly, "Where was your old construction site?"
Li Jianzhi looked at Yin Dang curiously and said, "Little brother, what are you doing?"
"Uh, nothing, just curious." Yin Dang felt a little overexcited and quickly regained his composure.
"Brother, curiosity kills. You're not going to see if it's real, are you?" Li Jianzhi asked.
Yin Dang coughed, then patted his lips and said confidently, "To be honest, I'm a celestial master. Exorcising evil spirits and demons is our responsibility. So I decided to visit your construction site and subdue that demon before it harms anyone."
"Are you a celestial master?"
Li Jianzhi and Qi Kairong looked Yin Dang up and down, circling him again and again. He was dressed almost identically to them back then. Did he look like a celestial master?
"You're not some charlatan from the countryside, are you? Brother, we're talking about this for real. Don't joke around, or you'll get yourself killed," Li Jianzhi said, still incredulous.
Yin Dang smiled and said, "Okay, just tell me the address of your old construction site, and don't worry about anything else."
Li Jianzhi asked, "Are you really going?"
"Yes, of course I'm going. But not now, tomorrow."
"Jingyuan Real Estate Development Zone, 98 Xilin Road, Jingxiu District."
After finishing what Li Jianzhi and Qi Kairong had cooked, Yin Dang, Li Jianzhi, and Qi Kairong found a spacious lawn and slept there.
It was the middle of the night, and Li Jianzhi and Qi Kairong were already snoring beside them, but Yin Dang lay awake for a long time. Spending his first night in the capital on the lawn was something he had never expected.
August 29th, 8 a.m. After bidding farewell to the two beggars, Yin Dang asked for directions and headed towards the Jingyuan Real Estate Development Zone, 98 Xilin Road, Jingxiu District, as they had mentioned.
After walking for over an hour, Yin Dang finally arrived at the Jingyuan Real Estate Development Zone. The development zone was surrounded by a high wall and a large, locked iron gate.
Yin Dang passed through the gate and headed inside. Within the enclosed space lay a vast, deep pit.
"One Qi transforms into the Three Pure Ones. The Daoist Patriarch uses his magic to open the gates of heaven, and the heavenly eye opens!"
Yin Dang opened his heavenly eye and saw a particularly dense, black aura emanating from the deep pit.
"Sure enough, it's a demon-level creature. Haha, this is the first time I've encountered one. Well, I'll go find the developer here first and make a killing from him," Yin Dang muttered to himself.
Next to the Jingyuan Real Estate Development Zone was the Jingyuan sales office, which spanned two floors. In the lobby on the first floor, two attractive saleswomen stood by a sales model, boasting.
"I wonder if Master Kuxu, whom Mr. Gu hired this time, is truly capable. Last time, that Taoist priest boasted about being a senior disciple of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, but he was instantly scared off by the contents of that century-old tomb."
"That's right, that's right. These mages are all just boastful liars these days."
"That's right! But there are bound to be some fake mages who are willing to sacrifice their lives for the sake of money. After all, our Mr. Gu offered a whopping 100,000 yuan."
"100,000 yuan is enough to drive those swindlers crazy. Isn't it because Mr. Gu is offering us triple the salary that we dare to work here? Who else would come?"
"That's right. Money makes the world go round!"
"But are there really any true celestial masters in this world?"
"Probably not."
"Hi, everyone. I'm a real mage." Just as the two sales ladies were chatting happily, Yin Dang suddenly appeared before them.
The two sales ladies were in their twenties, heavily made-up, but their faces were quite attractive. They were both wearing bags, with their large, white shoes dangling from the outside, making them particularly eye-catching.
"Ah, who are you? You suddenly appeared! Don't you know that scaring people is terrifying?" One of the tallest and fairest sales ladies glared at Yin Dang angrily.
Yin Dang smiled faintly and said, "I'm the sorcerer you're talking about. I heard your development zone was haunted, so I came to check it out."
"You? A sorcerer?" The shortest sales lady glanced at Yin Dang.
Yin Dang looked at the shorter sales lady and said, "Yes, what's the matter? Is there a problem? Find your boss quickly, I want to talk to him."
"Excuse me, our boss is talking to a real sorcerer right now." "The short sales lady said with a professional smile.
Yin Dang paused and said, "So, someone in the same field got there first? But this evil ghost is so powerful, can he handle it?"
"Handsome man, you look so young, but you don't want to learn the tricks, but instead try to catch ghosts. You should chase them away. Otherwise, the ghost might escape from the development zone and eat you up," the long sales lady said with a fierce look.
Yin Dang looked at the long sales lady's big white legs and chuckled, "Hehe, I think that ghost would eat you but not me."
"Why?" the long sales lady asked.
"Because this ghost likes all of them, especially those with long legs like yours. Wow, so white and so long." The more Yin Dang looked at those legs, the more he wanted to go in; it must be very comfortable.
The long sales lady chuckled and looked at Yin Dang, who looked a bit like a pig, and said, "You little brother, but you're quite interesting, with a smooth tongue." "
"Well, let's get down to business. This ghost in your development zone isn't something any ordinary mage can handle. Take me to your boss. One more person means more strength." After teasing the others for a bit, Yin Dang regained his composure.
"Are you really a mage?" the short saleswoman asked again.
"Absolutely!"
"But I don't look like one."
"Don't doubt it. Take me to your boss!" Yin Dang said.
The two saleswomen glanced at each other and hesitated for a moment. The tall saleswoman said, "Wait a moment. I'll go let our boss know."
"Thank you."
