Chapter 20: The Return

Suburb of Japan.

Chen Lu felt the air of the real world and looked at the trees around him, having the feeling of being a world away.

After Chen Lu destroyed the Gangxiong and recovered the wiping out Gamecock and Junxiong, the curse check-in ended and Chen Lu was sent back to the suburbs of Japan.

He still remembers that he had hired two big guys to escort him before, but at the moment he was nowhere to be seen, he should have gone home.

Chen Lu’s teeth itched, the deposit was still in their hands.

“It’s time to go back.”

The blind box hadn’t appeared yet at the moment, but it wouldn’t be long before they would discover the returning Chen Lu.

Only that Chen Lu had already mastered great power, and a curse in the district no longer posed a threat.

Chen Lu took a taxi, and half an hour later, Chen Lu arrived at the airport.

As soon as Chen Lu stepped out of the taxi, he saw the blind box on the side of the road.

The blind box was half open, and as soon as he saw the box, he was shaken, ready to open it. A black mist came out, and a puppet hand stretched out, ready to walk out of the blind box.

When he saw the blind box, Chen Lu did not hesitate and immediately began to destroy it.

His hand was white for a moment, and there was a handsome doll sitting on his shoulder, staring dumbly at the blind box, then Chen Lu raised his white hand and smashed it on the blind box.

“Bang.”

The curse of the blind box directly burst, and the doll inside the blind box was stillborn, with no chance to fight back.

Although the curse cleared, there was a feeling of being watched from behind Chen Lu, the feeling was exactly the same as the one he had felt in the haunted mansion, he turned back and a miniature haunted mansion appeared behind him, the closed door had a tendency to open.

Chen Lu’s face was stunned, this was the revival of the fierce ghost belonging to the Gamecock, when Chen Lu was inhaled by this ghost house, the Gamecock will descend into this world.

Fortunately, Chen Lu had restrained himself earlier and soon suppressed the curse.

On top of that, he also felt that the power of the Cursed Ghost Eye had been reduced a lot, far not as strong as in the dungeon, it felt like it was…

Anyway, there were very few parts that Chen Lu could mobilize, and a move like the one that had solved Junxiong couldn’t be used anymore right now.

Alas…. I didn’t expect it to be weakened as soon as it came out.

But now that the check-in was complete and the curse was resolved, Chen Lu, who was finally out of danger, felt a sense of relief.

“I will definitely kill in Zuan today!”

Chen Lu secretly resolved that the first thing he would do was to surf the internet. He was going to buy a ticket and board the plane, but when Chen Lu was in line, he was stopped and called.

“Hello, Mr. Chen Lu.”

A man wearing sunglasses approached Chen Lu, his voice was low and thick, creating a sense of trust right away.

Chen Lu was stunned, wasn’t this in Japan? How was it that there were still acquaintances?

Chen Lu carefully scrutinized the person in front of him, but had no impression in his mind.

“You are…?”

“Introduce yourself.”

The man took off his glasses, and just by looking at these eyes, Chen Lu could sense that he was a gentle and elegant person, but his straight sword eyebrows gave him a decisive temperament out of thin air.

“My name is Wang Ren, I’m from the Security Bureau.”

“The Security Bureau? What can I do for you?”

Looking at Chen Lu’s confused eyes, Wang Ren was not in a hurry and began to explain without any haste.

“There’s no hurry, think carefully, did you make a call to report a crime in the first place? That was the report number of the Abnormal Incident Security Bureau. I am also one of the persons in charge of the blind box incident.”

Chen Lu finally remembered, but right now his curse had been resolved, so his attitude remained nonchalant.

“Oh, now I don’t need help anymore.”

“I can see that.” Wang Ren’s attitude was unexpected, he had obviously expected all of this.

“Still choosing to fly to Japan after encountering a supernatural event. There are only two possibilities, one is to accept your fate and wait for death, the other is that there are other ways to resolve the curse, and Mr. Chen is clearly the latter.”

“If you don’t mind, why not fly back to the magic city on my plane? We can talk in detail on the plane.”

With a raised eyebrow, Chen Lu looked at Wang Ren and he did not agree, but asked:

“I’m a man who doesn’t like to beat around the bush, so I’ll just ask you one question.”

“In your eyes, I should be nothing more than a panicked fool who flew to Japan to escape, so why would you fly to Japan specifically to find a man who was looking for his own death?”

Chen Lu couldn’t understand this, if Wang Ren’s answer was something as polite as “we need to ensure the safety of every single person”, Chen Lu would immediately turn around and leave without paying any attention to Wang Ren.

Wang Ren was silent for a moment and replied to Chen Lu in a normal tone.

“You may have some misunderstandings.”

“Firstly, I came to Japan alone, and secondly, I didn’t come here to ensure your safety, in fact I’ve already thought of two outcomes, either you really are a stupid person and I’ll come and collect your corpse, or you just have the chance to become an imperial demon, so that my visit will be worthwhile.”

Chen Lu looked into Wang Ren’s eyes that would laugh, from which he could see Wang Ren’s ambition.

This was clearly a gamble with a lot of chips, he could have chosen to stay in Magic City. The blind box incident definitely needed his command, he was risking the situation getting out of control to find Chen Lu, if the situation got out of control, he would undoubtedly be fully responsible.

But as it turned out, he had won his gamble, and he had managed to get Chen Lu interested.

Chen Lu nodded, agreed with Wang Ren’s idea, and looked around:

“Okay, I promise, where’s your plane, do you enter through the gate?”

Wang Ren looked at Chen Lu oddly, a smile on his face.

“You bought the next flight, and I bought the same flight.”

“……..”

Emotionally, you also bought the ticket, what’s with the act!
