Chapter 032: Following Uncle Xu

Big Guy suddenly woke up with a start. He rubbed his head and said, "Damn it, he's at it again. He's almost driven me crazy!"

He looked around. Di Zhen was standing right there, but Big Guy just couldn't see him. He murmured to himself, "Huh, where did he go?"

Di Zhen waved his hand in front of Big Guy's eyes. It seemed that the [b]Mental Symbols[/b] had taken effect. He said, "Alright, Big Guy, wake up!"

But Big Guy remained unmoved.

"Big Guy! Big Guy!"

After calling out several times, it was still the same.

Di Zhen helplessly rubbed his forehead. There was a glitch. The [b]Mental Symbols[/b] he planted made Big Guy unable to hear or see him, similar to needing a keyboard to operate a computer during a reinstall but having no keyboard installed.

Now, Di Zhen's instructions reached Big Guy's ears but were automatically blocked by his brain.

Di Zhen had no choice but to send a text message to Big Guy on his phone, saying, "Go to the community entrance."

When Di Zhen opened the door, Big Guy was startled. "Ah, who's there!"

Di Zhen thought to himself, was the effect really that amazing?

So he gave Big Guy a push. Big Guy was startled again. He made a clumsy hand seal and prayed to the surroundings, "Bai Wu Jin Ji (May nothing go wrong, a saying to ward off bad luck)!"

Judging from this reaction, Big Guy seemed to vaguely sense that there was someone around him, but he couldn't see or hear them. It must be extremely terrifying!

Di Zhen couldn't help but think that this technique could be used for the perfect murder. In theory, it should be feasible!

Di Zhen followed Big Guy outside. Big Guy looked around but couldn't find Di Zhen, so he dialed his number. Hearing a phone ringing beside him, Big Guy was startled once again and nervously looked around.

Di Zhen pressed the answer button to see if he could communicate with Big Guy over the phone. All Big Guy said was, "Hello! Hello! Hello! Why aren't you talking!"

Oops, things got out of hand!

Shortly after, Geng Hao arrived, carrying a grass carp with a straw rope through its gills. Di Zhen said helplessly, "I said I needed a live fish!"

"It was alive!" Geng Hao lifted the grass carp and glanced at it. "It was wriggling around when I bought it."

Di Zhen rubbed his forehead and smiled wryly. "I was going to use this as an excuse to meet Uncle Xu!"

"Come on, just make do with it! Hey, I even had to pay for the fish out of my own pocket. I'll have to skip a meal this month!"

After Geng Hao's "tactful" reminder, Di Zhen gave him the money for the fish.

"Haizi, who are you talking to?" Big Guy asked in horror.

"What's wrong with him?"

Di Zhen told Geng Hao everything in detail. Geng Hao burst out laughing. "No way, there's such a technique. So if you punch him now, he won't even know who did it!"

"Who the hell are you talking to!" Big Guy roared angrily when he saw that Geng Hao was ignoring him.

Geng Hao became even more delighted. Thinking about how Big Guy used to play tricks on him, he decided to get revenge. He said to Di Zhen, "Brother Di, let's conduct a little experiment.

Then he jumped onto Di Zhen's back. Di Zhen said impatiently, "Get off me, will ya!"

"Big Guy, look, I'm flying!"

Big Guy looked in Geng Hao's direction, frowning. "Haozi, you... you've disappeared! Is that guy up to his tricks again!"

So that's how it was. Big Guy's consciousness would block out both Di Zhen himself and anything on him.

Di Zhen said, "Stop teasing him. Tell him the truth!"

Geng Hao reluctantly told Big Guy, who was very surprised. "What did you say? He's standing right here, but I can't see him. Is there such a sorcery?"

Di Zhen said, "Ask him what he sees!"

Geng Hao repeated, "Di Ge asks what you see, man."

"Just air. Nothing," Big Guy said, reaching out his hand in Di Zhen's direction. After touching Di Zhen, he saw his palm seem to cover a mass of distorted air, which was exactly the shape of Di Zhen's coat. He was shocked by this incredible technique.

"Xiao Di, quickly lift this! You're not some great beauty. Why can't I see you? Why are you using me for experiments!" Big Guy was quite annoyed.

"Tell him there's a problem and I can't lift it now," Di Zhen said, and Geng Hao relayed the message.

"Then how the f*ck are we going to handle the investigating cases?"

"I'll go by myself. You team up with Haozi!"

"Damn it!"

After Big Guy cursed, he was hit by the "air". Geng Hao relayed, "Di Ge says don't swear."

"Damn it all to hell!" Big Guy muttered gloomily as he lit a cigarette. "Haozi, let's go!"

Di Zhen carried the catfish to the place where Uncle Xu worked - Finley Aquarium.

After explaining his purpose, the staff member looked at the catfish in his hand in confusion and said, "Sir, this is a fish store, not a fish processing place."

Di Zhen smiled and said, "I heard there's a Master Xu here who is very skillful. I want to make a specimen. I'll pay the money."

"A... specimen? To keep at home?"

"Yes, I caught this myself. It's very meaningful!"

The staff member sighed and said, "Alright, follow me."

Entering a small workshop, Uncle Xu was shaping a golden arowana. He wrapped the huge golden arowana with a wet towel. Then he turned up the fish's eyes, cut off the excess fat below, and cleaned the gills with a brush.

He was very fast. After finishing these, he quickly put the fish back into the water to let it catch its breath.

Di Zhen couldn't help but feel a bit sad thinking that such a top - notch biologist in the country was now stuck taking care of fish here.

"Lao Xu, this gentleman wants to make a fish specimen. Do you think this one of his can be made?" the staff member said.

Uncle Xu looked up and sized up the fish in Di Zhen's hand. "It can be made, but are you sure you want to make this?"

"I caught it myself. I want to keep a memento!" Di Zhen smiled.

"The manual fee will probably be a hundred times the price of this fish."

"No problem!"

Uncle Xu cleaned the workbench and put the catfish on it, smiling. "The young man has quite an idea!"

"Hey, just for fun."

"

 "Well, I can do it..." Uncle Xu frowned, thinking about how to start.

 "Uncle, how did you get into this line of work?" Di Zhen took the opportunity to strike up a conversation.

 "Hey, it's quite a coincidence. I treated the fish in a friend's house once. He kept boasting about how good I was. Another fish shop owner found out and hired me. It's not too tiring!"

 "How's the income?"

 "Just making ends meet. Well..."

 Uncle Xu suddenly noticed something in the fish's mouth. As he kept pulling, the thread grew longer and longer. When he focused on the thread, Di Zhen, who had his hand raised in the air, suddenly patted him on the shoulder and shouted, "Uncle, aren't you sleepy?"

 Uncle Xu stared blankly and raised his head, his eyes unfocused.

 "If you're sleepy, go to sleep!" Di Zhen smiled. Then Uncle Xu lay down on the table.

 Di Zhen placed a Mental Symbol on him so that he couldn't see Di Zhen. This time, he learned his lesson and didn't block the sound. Then he ordered Uncle Xu to wake up in ten seconds and quietly left.

 Di Zhen found a cold drink shop to wait, passing the time by reading books and playing with a Rubik's cube. At half past five in the evening, Uncle Xu got off work. Di Zhen immediately got up and followed him.

 The Mental Symbol worked. Whether Di Zhen walked in front of or beside Uncle Xu, Uncle Xu didn't notice him at all. In this way, Di Zhen could follow him at a zero - distance.

 Di Zhen followed Uncle Xu on the bus and arrived at Shuangrong Community. When Uncle Xu opened the door, Di Zhen first recited the pre - set spell and then said, "You see that the wine bottle and the powder in the house are just as they were. No one has come in!"

 Uncle Xu opened the door, picked up the "wine bottle" on the ground and put it aside. He carefully stepped over the powder and then walked to the table.

 He was completely unaware that Di Zhen was standing behind him like a Vajra - like warrior.
