Mysterious resurrection, something's wrong with this guy.

Chapter 14: Take a Break

Su Qin stayed in a mental hospital for a week, or more accurately, he was detained for a week. He couldn't even leave his room until he passed the training and assessment.

The training and assessments during this period were far more rigorous than those during the headquarters period that Su Qin was familiar with, even though he was recruited by Qin Lao.

During this period, the official demon tamers were basically selected from the military, and then they went through experiments to control vengeful spirits in the laboratory. Only after all the checks were completed and there were no problems could they be officially sent on missions.

Such a demon tamer is impeccable in terms of temperament, stance, loyalty, and ability to get things done.

According to information revealed by the examiners, Su Qin was the second ghost tamer specially recruited from the common people. The first one seemed to be named Zhang Jun. Su Qin had some impression of Zhang Jun, one of the future twelve captains, the headquarters' direct subordinate captain, whose terror level was second only to Yang Jian.

It was only after passing the assessment that Su Qin learned that Zhang Jun had taken over the paranormal events at Ping An Building.

It is said that among the survivors, Zhang Jun discovered one who was suspected of accidentally controlling a vengeful ghost. That survivor's name seemed to be Fang Shiming.

However, due to the regulations of the Paranormal Investigation Bureau, they will not recruit ghost hunters from the public except in special circumstances. Therefore, they can only restrict Fang Shiming to a certain area for easy observation and control.

This also gave Su Qin a general understanding of the current state of the supernatural community. It should still be in the early stages of supernatural revival, and the situation is not very urgent. It is estimated that in another month or two, they will have to expand the scale of the Ghost Masters and establish a Ghost Masters headquarters.

Stepping out of the mental hospital, Su Qin immediately felt much more energetic, as if the air itself had become fresher and sweeter.

"This godforsaken place is no place for a human to live."

The so-called Paranormal Investigation Bureau is just a makeshift team assembled on the spot.

It was temporarily converted from a former mental hospital. The location was remote, far from any village or shop, with nothing but desolate mountains and wilderness. Su Qin waited for almost an hour before he could hail a ride-hailing car back to the city.

But as soon as he got back to his rented room, he froze on the spot.

A huge white wreath and a large black-and-white portrait were placed at the entrance of the rented room, with several large characters clearly written on it.

That scumbag Su Qin...

It was obvious that He Yuelian had been to Su Qin's rented apartment, but she hadn't seen him and had nowhere to vent her anger.

Su Qin felt that this rented house was no longer safe. No wonder the neighbors he encountered on his way back looked at him strangely.

It seems I can't stay here anymore. I need to find another place quickly and leave this place of trouble. He Yuelian might still be in Dajing City, waiting for me to come back and walk into her trap. It's best to avoid meeting her for now. If Zhang Xianguang targets me, it will be troublesome.

Su Qin sent a message to the landlord to terminate the lease, and ran away without even going inside to pack his things. Anyway, he didn't have any valuables, and he wouldn't need them anymore, so he just took a taxi and left the community.

With nowhere else to go, Su Qin could only find a place to stay nearby. That evening, he randomly chose a foot massage parlor, intending to relax.

A lot has happened lately, and I've been on edge the whole time. I need to relax a bit and focus on figuring out how to deal with the resurrection of my own vengeful spirit.

Su Qin lay half-reclined on the massage bed in the private room, his mind filled with thoughts of the resurrected vengeful ghost.

The resurrection of vengeful ghosts is the most fatal problem for every ghost tamer, and there is basically no solution. You either become an anomaly, but that is the most difficult and has the lowest probability of success, so it is ruled out first. I just want to live longer and don't want to take risks. After all, you only have one life, and once you die, you have nothing left.

One option is to find a vengeful spirit whose killing patterns conflict with the others and control it, taking a path of either chaos or balance. The downside is that the living person's body is more vulnerable, but the risk is much lower.

Either find those special vengeful ghosts. Currently, there are only four known ghosts that can resolve the resurgence of one's own vengeful ghost. One is the Ghost Coffin. If one could obtain the supernatural power of the Ghost Coffin, it could indeed suppress the resurgence of one's own vengeful ghost. However, the Ghost Coffin is too terrifying and is not something I can touch.

Option 2 is the Forgotten Demon, but based on current information, the Forgotten Demon is likely in the hands of a very terrifying veteran demon tamer, otherwise it would be impossible for such a large-scale memory loss to occur. Moreover, the Forgotten Demon has too many side effects, so this option can basically be ruled out.

3 is a deceitful ghost with a low danger factor and strong survival ability, but it is not very terrifying. It is not very effective against the resurrection of highly terrifying ghosts, and there is currently no trace of it. If we wait for Gao Zhiqiang to appear, the grass on his grave will probably be two or three meters long, so it can be ruled out directly.

Only one option remains: the scapegoat. It's terrifying to the extreme, has maximum attack power, and offers maximum survival skills. There's no need to worry about the resurgence of vengeful ghosts. As long as you control the scapegoat, you'll instantly become a top-tier ghost tamer. It's highly likely that this will happen in the near future.

It seems we need to hurry to Dahai City to stake out the scapegoat. Once Ye Zhen gets his hands on the scapegoat, there will be no more chances.

While Su Qin was still thinking of an excuse to keep an eye on the scapegoat problem in Dahai City, the technician pushed open the door and walked in.

"Hello, boss! Do you have any technicians you know?"

She was a tall young woman. Although the lighting was dim, her outstanding looks and tall, well-proportioned figure still stood out.

"No, this is my first time here."

Su Qin replied indifferently. Although he was no different from a normal person in every way, he really had no interest in playing riddles with these ordinary people.

After hearing the answer, the technician seemed to be in a better mood and began to earnestly promote the product.

"We have services priced at 398, 598, and 898. The tip is 300 per hour. Which service would you like to choose?"

The price was quite high, but since he was already here, Su Qin didn't plan to fuss over such trivial matters. It wouldn't be a bad thing to relax while he was still healthy; in two months, he probably wouldn't even have the time or the inclination.

"Let's go with the 898 one!"

As he spoke, Su Qin lay down on the massage bed, temporarily putting aside his worries and quietly experiencing the technician's service.

The technician happily finished her massage and gently massaged Su Qin's back.

"Boss, you're so handsome and have such a great presence! What do you do? Are you perhaps a rich kid?"

While giving Su Qin a massage, the masseuse chatted with him casually, occasionally freeing one hand to tap and draw on her phone as if she were talking to someone. She also rubbed her neck from time to time, as if she was very tired.

Su Qin was able to relax completely for once and was less vigilant.

"It's so-so! I'm just an employee, but I used to work for a boss, now I serve the people."

The masseuse seemed to have guessed something from what she said, and immediately put down her phone to give Su Qin a thorough massage. Her movements became gentler, but she still rubbed her neck from time to time, as if her cervical spine was not very comfortable.

"Brother, you're so young, you must be very popular with the boss..."

The technician continued to chat with Su Qin casually, and gradually the conversation turned to her own life, and she couldn't help but tell her touching little stories.

"Oh, so you're only a sophomore. That's tough, working while studying must be exhausting. But how are you feeling about your university life?"

Su Qin wasn't interested in the technician's story and didn't take it seriously. It was just a plot; there was no such thing as a 25 or 26-year-old college student. He was quite good at judging people.

The technician chuckled twice, and then her hands, which had been pressing on her shoulders, began to slowly move downwards.

"I think it's great. Many people say it's great and they're happy. I don't think I've ever let anyone down."

The masseuse paused for a moment, seemingly tired, then took off her bulky coat and hung it on the door. She then returned and continued massaging upwards from Su Qin's legs, her massage becoming increasingly gentle and intoxicating. In the originally quiet room, even the sound of breathing seemed to become more and more noticeable.

Massage is a technical skill that tests both the masseur's technique and the customer's experience. A skilled masseur will feel relaxed and happy, while a less skilled masseur will feel very tired and often end up covered in sweat.

Perhaps Su Qin and the young technician's skills were not yet up to par, as they always felt hot and clumsy due to wearing too many clothes, and they were covered in sweat.

Both of them were exhausted and rested on the bed for a while.

"Brother, you're awesome! I'd be so happy to be your girlfriend!"

The two chatted casually for a while, then got dressed. Finally, the technician took Su Qin's hand and reluctantly saw her into the elevator.

Su Qin left without looking back. The technicians at this place weren't very skilled; they were quite demanding. If there was a next time, he would try a different technician.

However, Su Qin did not expect that the technicians at this place were all about the same skill level, and none of them were very good. The other technicians and customers were even worse in skill and temperament.

For example, in the room next to Su Qin's, a younger, more vigorous technician was riding on top of a middle-aged man. The two were arguing and wrestling, but the younger technician seemed to have the upper hand.

She rubbed her neck with one hand and pressed down on the middle-aged man with the other. The middle-aged man lay on the bed, twisting and turning desperately, struggling until he was covered in sweat.

Technicians are, after all, more skilled, and they even have time to daydream, nodding and swaying their heads.

Click~

A crisp cracking sound rang out, and the technician who had been shaking his head turned his head back. However, the middle-aged man seemed too engrossed, or perhaps because the lighting was too dim, and did not notice. Then, the young technician rubbed his head with his hand, turned his head back, and continued to work hard with the middle-aged man.
