Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 14: Night Folklore Forum, Set Out to Explore Ghosts

"Let's go. I called and asked, he's still at home."

Li Ran said to the two of them.

Afterwards, the three of them entered the courtyard of the three-story Western-style building.

The gates in the village are usually not closed, so the three of them got in easily.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

As soon as I entered the door, a big wolfhound started barking.

But before Li Ran could scold him, the big wolf dog ran back to its den with its tail between its legs when it saw Jing Peng.

Li Ran was surprised, but ignored it.

"Old man Li, are you home?"

Following Li Ran's shout, an old man in his sixties or seventies with a crew cut came out of the room.

"Why are you back again, kid? Are you not making money anymore?"

Li Sanqi looked at Li Ran, then his gaze fell on Jing Peng and Fu Mingwei.

"This is?"

"These are people from the city. The method you told me last time is good, and they also want to ask questions."

Li Ran explained.

"Oh? You're here to see what's going on. Come in."

Old man Li quietly straightened his clothes, then walked in with his hands behind his back.

Fu Mingwei turned his head and looked at Jing Peng with a little doubt.

"Brother Peng, this... is an ordinary person, right?"

"You said that stone was just an ordinary stone."

Jing Peng followed in, and Fu Mingwei followed closely behind.

Less than five minutes after arriving at Li Sanqi's house, Jing Peng, feeling something was not right, revealed his identity.

After seeing the police badge, Li Sanqi no longer dared to pretend to be a master and told the truth directly.

It turned out that the method that Li Sanqi had told Li Ran before was something he had learned from somewhere else.

"Where did you see it?"

Jing Peng thought Li Sanqi would say that he read it from a book, but when he heard the title "Night Talk Folklore Forum", he was stunned.

Li Ran was also stunned.

"Old man Li, you said you saw the method you told me on a forum on the Internet? Then you... don't even know if it works?"

Li Sanqi looked at Li Ran's confused expression and nodded somewhat awkwardly.

Li Ranteng stood up with a bang, raised his hand and was about to slap Li Sanqi in the face.

Fortunately, Fu Mingwei stopped him.

Fu Mingwei couldn't be of much help in dealing with evil spirits, but he would have no problem dealing with an ordinary person, even a strong laborer who had been working for a long time.

"Don't be impulsive."

Fu Mingwei held Li Ran down with one hand and adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses with the other.

"Impulsive? This old man almost killed me!"

Li Sanqi, who was standing by, got annoyed after hearing what Li Ran said.

He has lived to a ripe old age, but no one has ever called him an old man!

"Watch your mouth, you pulled me to tell you that, and I didn't say it was true when I told you that, and you didn't say what you were going to do, so what are you shouting about now?"

Although what Li Sanqi said made sense, Li Ran couldn't help but stand up and kick Li Sanqi when he thought about what happened that night.

But the hand pressing on his shoulder was so strong that he couldn't stand up.

"Alright, Li Ran, if you make trouble again, you will have to come back to the bureau with us. And you, Li Sanqi, write down which post on the forum you saw and which account you used."

Jing Peng's face turned cold, and he immediately calmed both sides down.

Both Li Ran and Li Sanqi had goose bumps on their bodies at this moment.

Li Sanqi was just confused, but Li Ran's face turned pale.

He wondered in his mind more than once, is the commissioner of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau a human or a ghost?
Afterwards, after Fu Mingwei recorded what Li Sanqi said, Jing Peng and the other person took Li Ran away.

After leaving Li Sanqi's house, Fu Mingwei told Li Ran not to disclose the matter, and then he and Jing Peng drove away.

Li Ran glanced at Li Sanqi's house, and did not go in to cause trouble. He turned around and went back to his own home.

In the car, Fu Mingwei spoke up. "It turned out to be in the forum. There are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in the forum."

Jing Peng was reading the forum at this time and didn't say anything.

The "Night Talk Folklore Forum" was founded by the Public Opinion Research Bureau. The reason for establishing such a forum is not to catch any folk masters, but to monitor the occurrence of supernatural events in the area.

After all, there are not many commissioners in the Public Opinion Survey Bureau, and it is impossible to send one to patrol every street.

Therefore, in addition to the suspicious incidents transferred from the police station, some help posts that appeared in the "Night Talk Folklore Forum" are also a way for the Public Opinion Research Bureau to find supernatural events.

Even if eight out of ten posts are fake, it is still better than searching around like a headless fly.

As for whether there are people with real abilities like the Commissioner of the Public Opinion Survey in the forum, there definitely are.

People who can solve supernatural problems in the folk are collectively called fortune tellers.

There are different levels of fortune tellers. The lowest level is called a one-guess fortune teller, followed by two-guess fortune tellers, four-guess fortune tellers, and so on.

Mr. Yi Gua is at the same level as ordinary commissioners of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau like Fu Mingwei, but in terms of status, official personnel like Fu Mingwei are one level higher than him.

The Poll Bureau does not take a tough stance towards those who are watching things. If they are found, they will be registered with the Bureau and educated so that they cannot spread panic.

If it hadn't found it, the polling bureau wouldn't have gone out of its way to look for it.

After all, there are not enough people assigned to supernatural events, so where would we get the manpower to find them?

Furthermore, the fortune teller can also solve some supernatural events.

When people in some small places encounter supernatural events, the first person they think of is not the police, but the local capable people.

Therefore, the existence of private observers can, to some extent, help relieve the pressure on the Poll Bureau.

Of course, some misbehavior is not included.

Those who have fallen into evil ways should be given priority over supernatural events involving evil spirits.

Generally speaking, the polling bureau does not care much about the methods used by private observers.

Because as early as the years when the Public Opinion Survey Bureau was established, it had already collected all the methods that could be collected from the public. Even some methods passed down from ancestors by some fortune tellers may not be as authentic as those used by the Public Opinion Survey Bureau.

But among these methods, there are not many that are truly useful and easy to use.

After these things were summarized and sorted out by dozens of real veterans in the Poll Bureau, the Poll Bureau has its own set of things, which are much more powerful and complete than those of the private sector.

The Rooster Stone Town that appeared this time was a little different!
When Jing Peng and his companion reported the incident, it was taken seriously and they were sent to trace the source.

But what no one expected was that Shi Zhen spread the news from the Public Opinion Research Bureau’s own forum!
This made Jing Peng and the others at a loss as to what to say.

At this time, Jing Peng had already found the post.

After scrolling through the comments section, he found the one describing Seokjin.

"Zhu Ye Shi Town?"

After reading it, Jing Peng realized that the things Li Sanqi told Li Ran were not from the comments of the same person, but a set of statements compiled from multiple comments.

The only one that really works should be the one that describes how to make a stone town.

Thinking of this, Jing Peng couldn't help but sigh at Li Ran's good luck.

After taking a screenshot of the comments on the post, Jing Peng copied the link of the post and sent it to the people above him who were concerned about the matter in the form of an internal email along with the screenshot of the circled comments.

After finding the person who posted the comment, Jing Peng might have to make another trip.

As for whether it can be found, that is naturally out of the question.

"Night Talk Folk Customs Forum" is divided into regional servers. In the same forum, people in different regions are in different servers. Probably two or three cities will be on the same server.

Just like in online games, players from different regions cannot meet each other, the forum also adopts this model.

This is done partly to take into account the server's load capacity, but more importantly to determine the location of users in the forum and the location of the help post.

In this way, problems can be discovered and solved more conveniently and quickly.

The posts that Jing Peng can see, and the people who posted and commented on them must be in this city or neighboring cities.

“I wonder if this incident will give the Public Opinion Bureau an additional means to deal with ghosts.”

Thinking of the rooster that night, Jing Peng felt more expectant.

……

Platinum community.

Before it was completely dark, Li Ruonan ran out of the house, ready to complete her career as an anchor.

Before leaving, Li Ruonan stretched out a hand, closed her thumb and index finger, and gestured towards the door of Chen Xin's house.

"Little Chen Xin, hold it!"
