All People's Abyss: My skills are infinitely enhanced

Chapter 1052 Desensitization
The young masters, who had initially appeared quite casual, all stiffened their expressions after hearing Li Guoqiang's words.

Tao Yu's two bodyguards, who couldn't understand Chinese, seemed a bit confused, wondering what was wrong with these young masters.

However, their duty is only to protect, so they won't cause any trouble.

"This is not a place for jokes, and we are not people who can joke around."

The eldest son of the Li family tried to remain calm as he spoke.

"As you all know, we are from the miscellaneous affairs department. We don't come here without a reason. But don't worry too much. So far, this ghost hasn't done anything wrong and has been following the young duke. It might be related to him."

Huang Yaozu then made a special trip to explain.

This caused the young masters to quietly distance themselves from Tao Yu.

They knew the dangers of 'ghosts' and 'strange things'!
"Don't worry, this ghost is responsible for protecting me; you can think of him as my subordinate."

Tao Yu casually waved his hand, indicating that they shouldn't make a fuss.

"Is it really true?"

One of the young masters shrank his neck. Tao Yu had said so, so there must be some kind of dirty thing in the unseen sky!

"To protect you? Can such a thing still be used?"

The eldest son of the Huo family said with some surprise.

At this point, Huang Yaozu began to demonstrate his professionalism once again.
"A very small number of ghosts might follow their relatives out of obsession, but they are definitely not protective. In fact, they may even pose a danger over time. The harm caused by such things is quite great; once possessed, one's mind will become scattered..."

"This is just your perspective as an ordinary person."

Tao Yu gently interrupted Huang Yaozu.

“There is no way to deal with ghosts in this world. We have been to temples and prayed to gods and Buddhas, but it is useless. It is completely useless. Otherwise, we would not have to use this method to deal with them.”

Huang Yaozu sighed.

He had barely sighed when the jackal's spirit beside him changed its expression and roared at him.

"If you can't speak properly, then don't speak!"

This startled Huang Yaozu, who had no idea why the thing had suddenly gone berserk.

"Watch out! It's having an emotional problem!"

Li Guoqiang was also terrified. He had personally witnessed a harmless ghost suddenly possess someone and cause a disaster due to emotional excitement.

The two men's behavior startled the young men nearby, who took several steps back and had their bodyguards stand in front of them.

However, Li Guoqiang and Huang Yaozu, who could see ghosts, then saw Tao Yu casually point at the jackal next to him.

The jackal's entire body shattered as if a balloon had exploded, and then the fragments began to slowly wriggle and piece themselves back together.

"Just because you can't do it doesn't mean it's impossible."

Tao Yu seemed to have done something insignificant.

This left Huang Yaozu dumbfounded. No wonder the ghost was cursing; it seemed he had foreseen his fate.

However, Huang Yaozu then became even more excited, stepped forward, grabbed Tao Yu's hand, and said with burning eyes.

"Young Duke, no, Your Excellency Duke, how did you do that?! What's your method? Can you teach me? Can you impart it to me?"

Huang Yaozu's excited attitude made the young men roughly understand what was going on.

"Incredible! Does His Excellency the Duke possess such extraordinary abilities?"

"Haha, we were too cautious before."

If the matter is brought up directly, the young masters will not feel embarrassed.

They prioritize their own safety above all else, and no one can argue with that.

Moreover, the way they looked at Tao Yu at this moment was somewhat strange. They didn't expect that this young duke could master such a mysterious ability. They wondered if he was a demon tamer.

In this light, his succession is probably not a coincidence!

For those of them who come from wealthy families, they have seen plenty of intrigue and backstabbing within their clans. If a ghost could help them, it would be perfectly normal for them to eliminate their competitors and secure their own interests!

Otherwise, no matter how you look at it, it's just too legendary that a Hong Kong illegitimate child obtained a title.

This is no coincidence!

But as a powerful family, they also judge by results. Regardless of what means the other party used, the fact that he is the one who has inherited the dukedom is enough.

Moreover, they felt they couldn't afford to offend someone with such unique skills.

You don't have to be on good terms with someone, but you absolutely cannot become enemies with them!
With their current wealth, they place the utmost importance on safety, considering their lives invaluable and not something they would trade with others.

"You can try some traditional techniques. For ordinary people, you can try using plastic wrap to grab the chocolate and high-decibel noise to drive it away."

Tao Yu paused here, then continued.

"Besides, ordinary people can also see ghosts by applying cow tears. It's not that your department necessarily needs to find people like you who are born with the ability to see ghosts."

Huang Yaozu initially looked down on Tao Yu, but now he studies her frame by frame.

Not only him, but the other young masters next to him also signaled to their bodyguards to take notes.

For them, comprehensive protection is necessary!

If it weren't for the unstable nature of the Ghost Tamers, everyone would definitely have brought them in for protection.

It's not that they lack the ability to recruit, they just feel it's unreliable and unsafe!

But what Tao Yu is talking about now is just ordinary preparation; it's better to be prepared than not.

"Thank you very much, Your Grace. Since you can handle this one perfectly well, we will not disturb you any longer and will try to deal with some other issues."

Huang Yaozu had just acquired this 'secret technique' and was eager to try it out.

"It might be a bit troublesome to leave now."

Tao Yu said in a somewhat strange tone.

"what?"

Huang Yaozu seemed somewhat surprised.

"I just heard gunshots down below."

The young masters who had initially listened to the gossip as just that, immediately changed their expressions upon hearing Tao Yu's words.

"Gunshots?"

"Contact the front desk and inquire about the situation."

"Yes!"

One of the young masters spoke to his bodyguard, who then picked up a walkie-talkie to inquire.

Although their bodyguards were all their own and not under the jurisdiction of the venue's security agency.

However, to facilitate security coordination and avoid any problems, their walkie-talkies were all connected to the same channel.

"Call the front desk, was there any noise downstairs just now?"

zizi~
"It's alright, someone just broke a cup, but the problem has been taken care of."

Soon, a reply came from the front desk, indicating that everything seemed to be normal.

But after the bodyguard muted his microphone, he said solemnly.
"This isn't the person who was in charge of communication at the front desk before, so there was definitely a problem."

He then took out his phone and saw that the signal had dropped to zero!
"Oh no, something's wrong. Cell phone signals usually run on frequencies above 800, while walkie-talkie signals run on frequencies below 400. This could be either targeted jamming or the nearby base station has been damaged."

The bodyguards of these young masters are quite professional, no less so than Tao Yu's two, and far superior to the security team that has already been eliminated in the lower hall.

A judgment was made immediately.

Glancing at the still peaceful meeting room, the bodyguards immediately spoke.
"Let's go, we'll cover the young masters as they retreat first. The other side is hostile; we don't know if they're targeting the young masters or the venue."

“This hotel has many rooms. If they are only targeting the jewelry, we should go downstairs and find a place to hide. That would be safer.”

"You two come over here too. Did you bring guns?"

The bodyguards' mission was to protect their employer; the safety of the jewelry and other people present was none of their concern. They immediately implemented the best plan and, without hesitation, escorted the group away from the venue.

And to avoid panic, they didn't warn anyone else.

However, all of this still caught the eye of the doctor who had infiltrated the venue, prompting him to pull up his walkie-talkie and whisper in his team's frequency.
"We've been exposed. We need to act quickly..."

……

Tao Yu and the others' departure caught the attention of reporters Le Huizhen, who had come in with miniature cameras to record footage.

The most important people at the scene were those few, and Longwei and others were no match for them at all.

"Hey, do you think they're leaving?"

"Go over and have a look..."

"No way, they could make us lose our jobs with just a word."

"What are you afraid of? Be brave."

Lok Wai-ching took out a camera from her backpack and started filming the group, and then secretly followed them.

However, this clumsy tracking method was instantly spotted by professional bodyguards.

Two bodyguards blocked them from the front and back.

"Get the camera out."

However, they had barely started speaking when Tao Yu interrupted them.

"In situations like this, it's better to film the whole process and let them follow along."

If we don't expose what's going on here, wouldn't our trip have been for nothing?
Tao Yu had originally planned to take out her phone and have her bodyguards take pictures, but now that there are professionals, it's not bad at all.

"Thank you, thank you, young duke!"

Yue Huizhen, seizing the opportunity, eagerly ran over and bowed to express her gratitude.

Then, not forgetting to ask a question

What do you want me to film?

"Take photos of our event later."

Tao Yu's meaningful remark struck Yue Huizhen like a thunderbolt.

Me, our activities?

Looking around at all these people, she couldn't help but gasp.

Seriously? I know your circle is messy, but this is...

And although you're quite tall, at your age...

Ignoring the reporter's wild speculations, the group continued their activities without pause.

Not long after Tao Yu and his group left the venue and headed down to the next floor, they could vaguely see the crowds surging upwards from the stairwell.

"There are many, and judging from their voices, they are all carrying heavy loads."

George spoke solemnly in English.

I never expected that accompanying my boss to a jewelry exhibition would lead to this kind of thing.

However, he knew that his boss didn't have that much influence to attract such a large armed force; they were most likely after the jewelry.

"Let's go, let's choose this floor and go into the room first."

The group immediately walked out of the fire escape and entered the hotel floor. George even raised his hand and smashed the surveillance camera on that floor with his pistol.

While this would reveal the floor they belong to, it would also prevent the other party from noticing the room they are in.

The presence of surveillance would have already exposed the problem, but now it can also serve as an ambush, preventing the other party from being too unscrupulous when searching.

We also have guns!
With guns at your disposal, defeating a larger force with fewer troops is not a difficult task.

The bloodshed in urban warfare comes from the fact that you never know when a bullet will fly in from the side!
There could be a lurking thug in any corner, and you could be shot dead by a small pistol without even realizing it.

The two reporters had already learned what had happened from the gunshots and the sounds coming from the fire escape.

A robbery?!
Oh my god! How could something like this happen!

Although both were frightened, they were also excited and immediately began filming on set. At the same time, Lok Wai-ching began to give a quiet narration in front of the camera.

Being able to get into such a scene and film it in person is every journalist's dream!
This is both a danger and an opportunity!

The footsteps outside seemed to have received instructions from the monitoring center as they passed through this floor.

“There are people on this floor, those young masters and that little duke. Group C, stay here and find them. The rest of you, come with me up.”

Faint sounds came from the air, followed by the sound of someone continuing to go upstairs.

At the same time, the fire escape door was already open, but before anyone could appear, several square C4 rounds were thrown inside.

Boom~
The powerful airflow swept through the entire corridor, tearing up large sections of carpet. This unbridled action truly made the people hiding in the room feel serious.

That's too brutal, starting with bombs right away?
It can be said that the actions taken by this group directly undermined confidence.

At the same time, sounds came from outside.
“You young masters are of noble status. We are only after your money. If you lay down your weapons and surrender, we can promise to guarantee your safety. Our target is only the jewels on the top. You just need to cooperate and act as hostages.”

These words, combined with the previous bomb, could be considered a psychological attack far more powerful than a physical impact.

As sons of wealthy men, these young masters certainly didn't want to die, and someone whispered a suggestion.

"Their goal isn't to kill us, so we might as well go out. Otherwise, we'd be a real victim of a bomb."

His suggestion resonated with some, but Huang Yaozu, standing beside him, looked at Tao Yu.
"Your Grace, what do you think? Is your subordinate able to help?"

Huang Yaozu's words surprised even Lok Wai-ching, who had filmed the entire scene. She stared blankly at the empty space Huang Yaozu was pointing to.

"Oh, right, I almost forgot that Your Excellency the Duke has this helper. What do you say? We'll listen to you."

"Let's give it a try. I'll let him possess this vicious creature. We're acting in self-defense, aren't we?"

"Of course!"

Although Lok Wai-ching couldn't understand their riddles, she did understand the possession.

Pointing to an empty space and talking about possession or something, are you talking to a ghost?!
Hong Kong is heavily influenced by tradition; even the triads worship Guan Gong. Lok Wai-ching felt a little uneasy, but she suppressed her fear and filmed these scenes.

Tao Yu thoughtfully took out her phone from her pocket and said...

"My phone can capture things you can't see, you can try using this..."

Not only Le Huizhen, but even the other young masters looked over curiously after Tao Yu spoke. As Tao Yu's magical phone screen opened, the dead fish eyes of the jackal soul appeared before their eyes.

This caused Lok Hye-jung to scream!

"what!"

The shout immediately attracted the attention of the armed men outside.

"Here."

"Hey, there are girls too, rich kids really know how to have fun..."

"Watch out, they have guns."

"If you don't come out soon, we're going to blow it up!"

Just as they were exerting extreme pressure with words, the jackal phantom that Lok Wai-ching had photographed instantly rushed through the door and possessed the body of the armed man at the front.

The armed men who were initially walking in front were still saying...
'We're coming in...'

He suddenly stopped, and his steps halted, nearly causing the people behind him to bump into him.

"What are you doing? Afraid of getting shot? Let's throw two first."

The teammate behind joked, and then the teammate in front suddenly turned 180 degrees with a cracking sound, and said in fluent Chinese...

"I'm afraid of encountering ghosts..."
