Chen Jinfa clapped his hands.
The door swung wide open, and several beautiful girls of different styles walked in, carrying massage oils and wearing gentle smiles on their faces.
Instantly, Hu Zi's eyes nearly popped out of his head.
"Not knowing what kind of girl Master Lu and Brother Hu Zi prefer, I called in a few of them." Chen Jinfa bit the tip of his cigarette, "Don't be polite, choose as you like."
"Thank you, Brother Fa, for your kindness, but we won't need this," Lu Fei said, waving his hands repeatedly.
Hu Zi swallowed his saliva, and since his boss had already spoken, he could only follow suit and shake his head.
"If Manager Lu is being polite with me, it's like he doesn't consider me a brother." Chen Jinfah said loudly, "If you don't like this batch, I will immediately change them for you. I must make sure Manager Lu is happy!"
"It's really not that, Brother Fa. We don't have such hobbies," Lu Fei said with a wry smile.
"That's true, these are just common beauties, how could they catch Manager Lu's eye?" Chen Jinfah waved his hand, signaling the beautiful women to leave, and he got up from the recliner as well.
"Tonight, Manager Lu should rest well. Tomorrow, I will make new arrangements!"
Without giving Lu Fei a chance to refuse, he and Alon left.
"Oh, what a pity."
The room still had a faint scent of massage oil. Huzi sniffed and showed a regretful expression on his face.
"How about I ask Brother Fa to call them back for you?" Lu Fei asked, looking at him.
"It's not necessary, I am an upright person!"
Huzi's old face turned red. He jumped onto the bed and pulled the blanket over himself.
Lu Fei smiled.
After a busy night, he was indeed tired, and fell asleep quickly after turning off the lights.
He didn't know how much time had passed.
In a daze, Lu Fei felt a chill, as if he had been submerged in cold water.
His body kept sinking, with the icy, bone-chilling water slowly engulfing him.
He felt suffocated, unable to catch his breath, and struggled desperately to float to the surface, but his body was stiff and unresponsive, as if frozen.
Just as he was about to sink into the bottomless darkness, a surge of warmth suddenly rushed from his dantian.
The icy current instantly dissipated.
Lu Fei sat up, gasping for air.
"Was it a dream?"
The night light cast a dim, warm glow. Lu Fei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, feeling uneasy and puzzled.
"How could I have such a strange dream?"
Then, he heard movement from the next bed.
Turning his head, he saw Hu Zi covering his head with the blanket, thrashing his legs wildly.
"Hu Zi!"
Lu Fei quickly jumped out of bed, pulled off the blanket, and patted his forehead hard to wake him up.
"Hu Zi, what's going on? Why are you covering yourself with the blanket?" Lu Fei frowned.
"What?"
Hu Zi was drenched in sweat, his face turning purple, gasping for air.
"Covering myself? I had a dream that I fell into the water and nearly drowned..."
"What a coincidence? I had the same dream!" Lu Fei's heart skipped a beat.
For both of them to have the same dream, it was clearly not a coincidence.
"Holy shit! What's going on, is there something dirty in the hotel?" Hu Zi quickly jumped off the bed, picked up his ghost-head saber, and vigilantly watched his surroundings.
"With the ghost-head saber here, even if there's something dirty in the hotel, it wouldn't dare to cause trouble. It must be something else." Lu Fei walked to the window, pulled open the thick blackout curtains, and looked down at the construction site below.
It was late into the night, and most of the neon lights in the city were already extinguished, with only the streetlights still dutifully shining.
The construction site was dim and silent, and from a distance, it was hard to see anything.
"I wonder how Brother Fa and the others are..."
A hint of worry rose in Lu Fei's heart, and he was just about to call Chen Jinfa when there was a knock on the door.
"Master Lu, Master Lu, are you asleep?"
It was Chen Jinfa's anxious and panicked voice.
Hu Zi immediately opened the door.
"Big Brother Fa."
"Manager Lu, strange things are happening. I just had the same dream as A Long..." Chen Jinfafa hastily walked in, a hint of fear on his face.
A Long followed behind him, also not looking too well.
"Was it about you two falling into the water and nearly drowning?" Lu Fei asked.
"That's right! Exactly!" Chen Jinfafa's eyes widened with admiration, "Manager Lu, you really are amazing, to be able to predict this!"
"I didn't predict it; it's because Hu Zi and I also had the same dream," Lu Fei said with a bitter smile.
"What?" Chen Jinfafa and A Long looked at each other in shock, exclaiming, "Four people, having the same dream?!"
"This definitely isn't a coincidence! It must be related to the construction site." Lu Fei nodded.
When he left the construction site, he had heard a gurgling sound like water bubbling, and water also appeared in the dream, clearly indicating a connection.
"Is there really something happening at the construction site?" Chen Jinfat hurried to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked outside, but he couldn't make much sense of it after a few glances.
"Manager Lu, what is that thing?"
"I don't know either. It's not safe to go now; I'll check it out at dawn," Lu Fei said honestly.
The worst thing they feared had still happened.
Once the soul-piercing stake was broken, the dirty stuff from the original construction site came out.
Fortunately, it was only two or three hours until dawn.
No one dared to sleep. Chen Jinfat and A Long stayed in Lu Fei's room, filled with worry and chain-smoking continuously.
One wave had just settled, and another rose.
Could his construction site proceed smoothly?
Is this year an unlucky one? It seems he needs to pay respects to Lord Guan...
Stay awake until dawn with eyes wide open.
As soon as the morning light began to fall, the four of them left the hotel and headed towards the construction site.
Even from across the street, they could smell a faint, barely there stench of blood.
"What's that smell? It can't be from the construction site, right?" Chen Jinfah's face turned pale.
Opening the fence and stepping into the construction site, the smell of blood became even stronger.
The source of this odor was exactly from the pile-driving pit.
The four hurried over, all wanting to know what was going on at the construction site.
As soon as they reached the pit and saw the scene inside, their scalps went numb instantly.
"Oh my God! What is this?"
Chen Jinfah, terrified, took two steps back.
At the bottom of the pit, there was a layer of blood-red water, giving off a pungent smell!
Bubbles were gurgling at some spots in the water, and the water level seemed to be slowly rising.
At first glance, it looked like a pool of blood!
"Could it be that we hit groundwater or some kind of pipeline?" Chen Jinfu asked, holding onto a glimmer of hope.
Lu Fei found a long stick, dipped it into the crimson water, then lifted it and sniffed it, his expression instantly changing.
"Not good! This is blood water!"
"All blood?" Chen Jinfu was incredulous, "Where did all this blood come from? Could it be that many people died here? No, even if there were dead bodies buried here, it should be decaying corpse water, not blood!"
"Brother Fa, don't panic. This must be related to the original filth on the construction site," Lu Fei quickly calmed down. "Let's first find out what this blood water really is. Once we know, it will be easier to handle."
"Such a large area, how can we deal with it?" Chen Jinfu steadied himself and looked at Lu Fei.
Lu Fei crouched by the edge of the pit, staring at the spot where the blood water was constantly bubbling. After a moment's thought, he said, "First, let's find a few living creatures to test the nature of this blood water."
