141: The supervisor's peculiar quirk?
Old Sha followed the sound to the front yard, and the moment he stepped out from behind the corner, three beams of light from flashlights shone neatly on him.
As the flashlights illuminated him, the newcomers seemed to get a clear look at Old Sha's current attire.
He wore a ghastly pale clown mask on his head, with a terrifying, blood-red smile on it.
He was burly and thick-armed, and in his hand, he held a heavy brass mace.
Under the reflection of the light, it showed a bright, golden gleam.
A yellow cape was tied around his neck, making him look absolutely ferocious.
Especially in this dilapidated courtyard, he appeared even more terrifying and dreadful.
At first glance, he looked like an escaped convict with an extremely twisted psyche,
Waiting in this desolate place for lost lambs to deliver themselves, the brass mace in his hand ready to mercilessly smash the skulls of those who arrived.
"Oh my god!" The few people holding flashlights saw Old Sha clearly, and immediately someone screamed in terror!
They almost forgot the purpose of their visit, their muffled voices trembling as they said:
"Damn, what... what's wrong with this guy?"
"Why is he dressed like that? Is he a human or a ghost?!"
"Damn it, the intelligence was wrong!" Another person couldn't help but mutter:
"Didn't they say there was a Homeless person here? But this physique... he's too sturdy."
"Then... what should we do?" The last person asked with a tremble.
And as soon as he said that, the three of them unconsciously took a step back.
For a moment, this group dared not step forward at all to provoke this strange person wearing a clown mask.
At this moment, Old Sha stood still like a mannequin in a shopping mall.
He didn't act rashly, planning to first figure out the intentions of this group.
So he quietly listened to the three of them whispering, and he also heard their last sentence clearly.
"Still do it?" Old Sha muttered to himself.
...Heh, as expected, they are Fat Bears!
After confirming the meaning of the verb in their words, Old Sha couldn't help but feel a surge of anger.
This group in front of him were indeed Fat Bears who specifically targeted lone Homeless persons!
And Fat Bears themselves were already twisted enough, yet they even appeared as a team!
What was even more infuriating was that with his current getup, even the King of Hell would take a detour.
Yet they were still discussing whether or not to 'do it'?
Could it be that they could still confront him head-on even with the clown mask? Simply deranged!
Old Sha felt a chill run down his spine, thinking with utmost disdain.
And finally, he tightened his grip on the brass mace and took a firm step towards the three of them.
He didn't want to hurt anyone, but since he had finally encountered Fat Bears,
He really wanted to teach them a lesson.
"Crackle, crackle." As Old Sha moved, the sound of gravel grinding on the ground echoed.
The three people holding flashlights immediately felt their hair stand on end!
This scene, in their eyes, was truly incredibly terrifying and bizarre!
They watched as the previously motionless muscular man in the clown mask suddenly moved.
That golden brass mace, held in his hand, looked just like a cleaver!
With bone-chilling steps, he was slowly approaching the three of them!
A scene that would only appear in foreign horror movies was now vividly presented before their eyes.
Immediately, the three people present gasped in cold air!
It was only then that they remembered to turn and run, but it was as if someone had pressed their pressure points,
Their blood ran cold, and none of them could move their feet.
Their eyes were fixed on the gradually approaching terrifying figure, and their hearts were pounding in their throats.
And when Old Sha had already arrived in front of them and raised the brass mace in his hand.
The newcomers finally seemed to awaken from a deep dream.
"Ah! Run!" The shrill cry was almost heartbreaking.
But even though the shouting was sharp, it still sounded somewhat muffled, as if covered by something.
When the cry sounded, the three people in front of Old Sha immediately turned around and scrambled out of the courtyard.
The light from the flashlights also moved away from Old Sha.
Using the light from their flashlights hitting the ground as they left, Old Sha observed their backs.
Without the glare of the blinding light, Old Sha finally realized.
The attire of these three people was also somewhat strange.
Their clothes glowed with a pale light and seemed to be made of a very special material.
Moreover, the clothes were almost one-piece, and they wore hats on their heads.
However, someone turned back to look in Old Sha's direction, wanting to confirm if he was chasing them.
Old Sha was startled to discover that the hat had a transparent shield connected to the face area.
It looked somewhat like a space astronaut.
"Hiss... What kind of taste do these Fat Bears have?"
"Dressed so bizarrely."
Old Sha, holding the vintage brass mace, adjusted his clown mask, tightened the curtain cape behind him, and grumbled in complaint.
Watching the group hurry away, Old Sha shouted a couple of warnings from a distance before walking towards the backyard.
...
"Folks, I'm back."
He returned to the phone stand placed on the ground.
Old Sha sat cross-legged on the ground and greeted the audience in the live stream.
Seeing Old Sha, who had disappeared for a while, reappear in the frame.
For a moment, the live stream's bullet comments became lively again.
Old Sha was also surprised to find that during the time he was away,
The live stream's popularity had not dropped, but instead had increased by nearly a thousand viewers.
And soon, Old Sha understood the situation.
It turned out that after he left, these viewers were curious and wanted to stay in the live stream to wait for the result.
They wanted to know who the newcomers outside were and if they were the rumored Fat Bears.
And when some new viewers entered the live stream, the old fans were explaining the situation to them.
They said that Old Sha had gone to confront the Fat Bears face to face, which piqued the curiosity of viewers who entered later.
This was why the live stream's popularity did not drop even though Old Sha was not in the frame.
And among those waiting for the outcome, Su Yue was also one of them.
"Bro Sha! You're finally back!"
"What just happened? Who came? Was it the Fat Bears?"
The bullet comments in the live stream began to flood in.
And many viewers had turned up the volume earlier.
They had also heard some commotion and were flooding the screen with comments:
"I think I heard shouting just now, it sounded quite miserable."
"The sound of that wail was like someone being shoved into a sack!"
Some viewers began to guess, carefully examining Bro Sha's body.
"So, Bro Sha returned in triumph?"
"Did he stuff those blind Fat Bears into a sack and beat them up? But there's no blood on the mace."
Old Sha sat cross-legged on the ground, first listening to the sounds outside.
He confirmed that there were no strange noises in the front yard.
Only then did he focus on the live stream and check the audience's bullet comments.
Then he began to tell them about what had just happened.
"Hmm... Don't guess wildly, brothers."
"A group of people did come just now, and from their conversation, it can basically be confirmed that they were Fat Bears."
As Old Sha spoke, the audience in the live stream also perked up.
They had only heard Old Sha talk about how some Fat Bears would attack Homeless persons at night.
They never expected it to happen so vividly before their eyes.
However, it was a pity that Old Sha hadn't taken his phone with him just now for convenience.
The audience was also extremely curious about the Fat Bears and flooded the screen with questions about the details.
"Bro Sha, what do Fat Bears look like?"
"How many came in total? How did you drive them away?"
Old Sha looked at the netizens' questions, and his face under the mask furrowed.
Speaking of which, Old Sha had never shown his face to netizens before,
He always wore a mask when live streaming, and his video works were always shot from a first-person perspective with his phone.
"It's very strange... brothers." Old Sha thought for a long time and said in a deep voice:
"To be honest, I've never seen Fat Bears before, and I didn't know they would be dressed so strangely."
"They seemed to be wearing isolation suits, and their faces were covered with something like an astronaut's oxygen mask..."
At this moment, the audience in the live stream heard Old Sha's description of the newcomers' appearance.
And this naturally included Su Yue.
"Isolation suits? Oxygen masks?"
According to Old Sha's description, Su Yue couldn't help but ponder in his mind.
After all, this outfit, taken alone, was indeed a bit strange.
Why would someone appear in a group in this attire in the middle of the night?
And even if you delve into their purpose, is it simply to attack Homeless persons at night?
Although it was for the purpose of investigating the 'ghost fire' in the unfinished building,
The information Su Yue obtained from the live stream at this moment had exceeded his expectations.
From the current situation, it seems suspicious everywhere.
Su Yue had a general understanding of what kind of group Bro Sha called Fat Bears.
Fat Bears are not Homeless persons without social connections.
They still have to play their respective roles during the day, and it is clear that they only reveal their Fat Bear side at night.
And since they are doing such unspeakable things...
How could they be so perverted as to commit crimes as a gang?
Aren't they afraid of being exposed by each other? It's like handing over a handle to others.
And there was another point that was also extremely suspicious, which was the clothing of the other party as described by Old Sha.
According to Old Sha's description, the so-called isolation suits should also be medical protective clothing.
They also wore something like oxygen masks on their faces, perhaps also for protective purposes.
And the medical protective gear appearing simultaneously in this strange outfit somehow reminded Su Yue of the X-ray of the suitcase.
There was also a white coat and medical sterile gloves in that suitcase, and there seemed to be some connection between them...
Having found a few clues, Su Yue paid even more attention to Old Sha.
Of course, Su Yue did not rule out the possibility that this Bro Sha was deliberately creating atmosphere and directing and acting himself.
If that were the case, then it was undeniable that Bro Sha's acting skills were quite high, and no flaws were seen.
"I didn't make a move just now, I just scared them away."
Old Sha in the live stream frame seemed to be thinking about something and said slowly:
"However, I always feel like something isn't quite right..."
"They must be targeting Homeless persons, and they specifically pick on those who are alone outside."
"I need to find the nearby Homeless persons another day and see if there's anything going on."
Not long after, Old Sha also closed the live stream.
Seeing this, Su Yue decided to wait and see, to see if Old Sha could find anything.
And looking at the time, it was almost midnight.
Thinking that he had to return to the company on time tomorrow, Monday, Su Yue also prepared to rest.
However, just then, the phone in the bedside table drawer vibrated.
That was the phone Su Yue used to contact others under the identity of 'Yuan'.
So late, and someone suddenly contacted 'Yuan'?
With questions, Su Yue took out his phone from the drawer.
And on it was a file sent by Li Haoyang.
Su Yue looked at the content and a smile appeared on his lips.
It turned out to be the program he had assigned Li Haoyang to create yesterday afternoon.
He had worked overtime to complete it and had sent it to him.
Su Yue received the program and would have a way to deal with Lan Zijun's test tomorrow.
He then sent the task reward back to Li Haoyang, giving him a reward of 10,000 this time.
The 40 million reward he received from Lan Zijun last time.
Apart from the cost of renovating the courtyard and reinforcing the basement, there were no other expenses.
And Su Yue was now quite wealthy.
But he didn't know that Li Haoyang, who was working overtime on the program, suddenly received the message.
Looking at the numbers on his phone screen, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night again.
...
The next morning, Su Yue returned to the company at the normal working time.
As soon as he walked out of the elevator and stepped into the Market Department office area.
"Oh, Yue Ge! You're finally back!"
Before he even saw Li Haoyang, he heard his greeting.
And the colleagues around him all turned their gazes.
Su Yue saw everyone's eyes gathered on him, a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he greeted his colleagues.
However, he also noticed that their expressions seemed a bit strange.
Each of them looked as if they had seen through something, with a subtle smile on their faces.
Su Yue was stunned for a moment and didn't pay attention.
He walked back to his workstation.
As soon as he sat down, he found a steaming cup of coffee on his desk.
"Is this... prepared by you?" Su Yue subconsciously asked Li Haoyang.
However, Li Haoyang showed a mysterious smile and nudged his chin towards the other end.
Following his gaze, Su Yue saw that he was indicating the Director's office.
And at this moment, the Director was standing at the office door, winking at Su Yue.
"..." The situation was quite clear, but Su Yue felt a chill in his heart.
Why would the Director, out of nowhere, bring him coffee?
He couldn't help but think of a term: 'Fat Bears'...
Immediately, he looked at the Director, whose belly was not concealed by his suit.
"Yue Ge, you're impressive."
Before Su Yue could think further, Li Haoyang spoke with a mysterious expression:
"When you have time, tell me about it."
"What's going on between you and President Lan?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yue looked at the dark circles under Li Haoyang's eyes.
Su Yue knew he had been working overtime on the program last night,
But his mental state was quite good, clearly due to his mood.
"You're in a good mood today, you even have time to gossip."
"Weren't you complaining to me just a few days ago?" Su Yue said, pretending not to know.
Upon hearing this, Li Haoyang still wore a mysterious smile.
"Yue Ge, you don't know, yesterday..."
"Cough cough, anyway, I'm indeed in a good mood."
Li Haoyang coughed lightly, forcefully changing the subject.
And just then, the sound of an elevator arriving suddenly echoed outside the door.
Immediately after, the sound of high heels followed.
Hearing this commotion, the people in the Market Department seemed to guess who was coming.
They all glanced at Su Yue, then collectively looked towards the door.
And the next second, as if confirming everyone's guess...
Slowly walking into the Market Department was none other than Lan Zijun!
