Chapter 733 - Afu Finds an Apprenticeship
Chapter 733: Afu Finds an Apprenticeship
“You… what are you doing? What kind of… thing are you?” Chen Afu originally wanted to say “who,” but now it seemed that this guy wasn’t human at all, but a monster. Despite Chen Afu’s boldness, at the moment, he couldn’t help but be scared witless. After all, this thing seemed to be able to threaten his life.
The man looked at Chen Afu, looked strangely at what Chen Afu wore and said, “What are you also doing?” The reason why this person wasn’t afraid was that Chen Afu was dressed weirdly. He was definitely not someone who worked in the hospital. Furthermore, someone who wore this in the middle of the night was certainly not a good person.
Seeing that this thing could speak the human language, it should obviously be a human. Chen Afu was slightly relieved and said, “You also came to the hospital to scare people? The one you just made, was it all fake?” Chen Afu pointed to the ground and looked at the body of the old man.
“Oh, so you came here to scare people.” The man nodded. He looked at Chen Afu with great interest, and then looked at the body on the ground. “So, this old man was scared to death by you?”
“You… how do you know?” Chen Afu was surprised.
“This old man didn’t die of sickness. It was an abnormal death. I can still distinguish it.” The man said faintly, “But I have to thank you. People who have this kind of abnormal death are hard to find… Otherwise, my Sinister Voodoo would have been successfully mastered long ago.”
“What do you mean? What is Sinister Voodoo?” Chen Afu heard inexplicably.
“You don’t need to understand now.” The man smiled enigmatically, “Would you like to become my apprentice?”
“Become your apprentice? What can you teach me?” Chen Afu glanced at the disgusting old man on the ground and shook his head. There were several types of perversions. He wasn’t perverted to the point of nibbling on corpses. It was too disgusting to even think about. “I won’t bite the body on the ground.”
“Of course, you don’t have to bite. You just have to scare people to death.” The man shook his head and said, “I only need the bodies of healthy people who die abnormally. After you scared people to death, just hand the bodies over to me.”
“What benefit is there for me?” Chen Afu frowned. Obviously, what the person said had nothing to do with Chen Afu. He could only get extreme pleasure when he scared people to death.
“I can teach you to scare people,” said the man.
“Do I still need you to teach me?” Chen Afu was a bit disdainful. He had already scared three people to death. This was the moment that his perversion has expanded.
“Really? Then watch.” As the man said this, he took out a small bottle from his pocket and shook it over the body on the ground. Chen Afu didn’t know what was shaken out from inside. It was too dark in the mortuary, so Chen Afu didn’t see clearly.
Just as Chen Afu was puzzled, the bitten and broken old man’s body on the ground suddenly stood up!
Chen Afu, a courageous guy, couldn’t help but jump back and shout, “How did you do it?!”
The man took the bottle and shook it again. A few black spots flew from the body and quickly returned to the bottle. After that, the old man’s body crashed to the ground. There was no indication of life at all.
“Do you want to learn?” The man didn’t answer Chen Afu’s question but continued to ask.
“But, you’re so powerful. Why would you teach me? You can scare people to death yourself!” Chen Afu asked with some vigilance. Although he was very interested in this weird skill, he was afraid that this person had ulterior motives.
“I hate the darkness… The baby in my body is more afraid of the dark…” The man said with some disgust, “If it wasn’t for the fact that it was easier to prey on victims in the dark, I wouldn’t come out.”
“Baby? Aren’t you a man?” Chen Afu was stunned.
“Baby is the voodoo insects in my body. You don’t have to know too much. As long as you become my apprentice, I will teach you some knowledge in this area,” said the man.
“Voodoo insects?” Chen Afu saw similar novels on the internet, but they were all considered fabrications. But he didn’t expect anyone in the real world to know this. But just now, although Chen Afu didn’t see much about how the body on the ground stood up, he thought it would be similar to where the doll was controlled with a transparent thread. But now it sounded like it wasn’t the case.
“Yes, what you just saw is the simplest voodoo,” explained the man.
“Voodoo? Isn’t it for the living? How can it be used on the dead people?” Chen Afu was amazed.
“Hehe, it seems that you still have some misunderstandings about voodoo. It is no wonder that you just heard about the rumors, but you never came in contact with it.” The man smiled and said, “Why is it called voodoo (蛊)? The character above has the word “insect (虫),” the character below was the word “vessel (皿).” That was to say, voodoo (蛊) is the vessel for insects. And the small container I just took is the utensil which contains something that can be called an insect, but it also can be said to be a kind of bacteria. This is to say, whether the voodoo is cast onto the dead or the living, it is completely in the control of the voodoo user.”
“But, the insect or the bacteria, how can it make this body stand up?” Chen Afu was still puzzled.
“One insect, of course, won’t work, but a bunch of them? If there are countless insects united, it is enough to control the corpse.” The man shook the container in his hand.
“So it’s like this!” Chen Afu’s eyes widened. The things he saw today were simply amazing. The shock to him was endless. Chen Afu’s mind was running fast. This is a golden opportunity! If I learned these strange abilities, then isn’t it easy for me to scare others?
As for how to deal with the body of a person who was scared to death, whether it was cremated or the person used to feed its voodoo insects, Chen Afu didn’t care about it. What he cared about was the process of scaring people to death, not the result.
“You can really teach me… that voodoo?” Chen Afu was a little excited. After all, he just saw the magic of voodoo.
“I can’t teach you about its core knowledge. Only the pro-disciples can learn it, but I can teach you something simple to scare people with. That would be enough. Others are used to kill people. It’s useless for you to learn it.” The man said very calmly.
Chen Afu really had no interest in learning about killing. His greatest happiness was to scare people to death rather than to kill them. They were completely two different realms. He wasn’t interested in murder, so he said, “As long as I can scare people, it is enough.”
“Well, my position in the family is that of the high priest. They call me Elder You. You can call me that too,” said the man.
“Isn’t it better for me to call you Master?” Chen Afu felt that ‘Master’ was more respectful.
“I’m not used to being called Master. It is the title used by your Han Chinese,” said Elder You.
“Then I will call you Elder You,” said Chen Afu respectfully.
……
Zhao Sisi and Lin Zhiyun were both fans of Shu Ya. Although they were not particularly diehard fans, they were still somewhat cautious in front of their idol. When Yang Ming was there, they could still maintain a normal smile. Now that Yang Ming had left, they somehow didn’t know how to speak instead.
After all, it was their first time in the business world. They were not as sophisticated as those negotiators. Thankfully, the person that they were negotiating with was Shu Ya’s manager, Xu Li. Xu Li had already received instructions from Shu Haikuo to not make things difficult for Yang Ming, and try to be more cooperative with them. Therefore, Xu Li’s conditions were also favorable. There was nothing questionable. It was beneficial to both sides.
Zhao Sisi adored Shu Ya more than Lin Zhiyun. She was forced to resist the urge to ask for Shu Ya’s autograph. Zhao Sisi nervously said, “About the contract, let the legal department look at it again.”
She wasn’t distrustful of Xu Li, but it was a necessary process. Even if the contract is between the parent company and the subsidiary, it needs to be reviewed by the company’s legal department.
Originally, Shu Ya’s endorsement fee should be at least seven digits, but this time it had been reduced to four million. After Yang Ming added the investment of the jewelry company, the four million was really nothing. Without the initial publicity and investment, how could there be any return?
The initial investment of the jewelry company was five million. Yang Ming and Zhang Bing each accounted for 50%. But after the company was established, it was discovered that five million was really nothing for the jewelry industry, so Yang Ming added another thirty million yuan of investment. Normally, Zhang Bing’s shares in the company would be diluted, and Zhang Bing also asked to take only 10% of the shares. However, Yang Ming didn’t agree.
Zhang Bing could be said to be one of Yang Ming’s few close friends, and it should be considered one of the deepest friendships. Zhang Bing was very loyal. When Yang Ming didn’t have money, whenever the two went out to eat or took a bus, Zhang Bing always insisted on paying. Furthermore, he never felt that he was superior to Yang Ming because of this. But rather he considered Yang Ming as his own brother. This made Yang Ming feel touched. Although there was no need to say too much between the brothers, Yang Ming still remembered this. Now that he had money, it was incumbent for him to help Zhang Bing.
After insisting, Yang Ming said that this was considered as a wedding gift for him and Zhao Sisi. Yang Ming wouldn’t give them another separate gift, so only then did Zhang Bing reluctantly accept it.
The people of the legal department quickly returned the results of the contract without any problems. After Xu Li and Zhao Sisi signed the contract, they gave it to Shu Ya to sign again. After doing all this, the two sides entered the stage of substantive advertising filming.
However, it was already noon. They had to eat first. Zhao Sisi said, “Miss Shu, Miss Xu, I’ll ask someone to book a room at the hotel.”
“No, there are too many reporters outside. Just order some fast food and have them send it over.” Shu Ya waved her hand and said, “It doesn’t have to be so troublesome.”
Zhao Sisi usually ordered fast food at the company too, but today Shu Ya came. Naturally, she could not be neglected. Now that she heard Shu Ya take the initiative to ask for fast food, Zhao Sisi no longer insisted and instructed the secretary to order food.
