After completing the bizarre game, the world experienced a global resurgence of strange occurrences.

Wan Guanhai paused for a moment, and when his voice came again, it carried an undisguised seriousness.

"This morning, we detected a strong, eerie aura at the Lotus Temple in Dachang City."

Upon detecting the eerie atmosphere, the branch immediately dispatched a small team to seal off the entire Lotus Temple and begin investigating the strange occurrences hidden within.

Not long after, we found the eerie creature emanating a strange aura inside the main hall of the temple.

According to the intelligence they relayed back, this strange-looking object was a headless, badly damaged golden Buddha statue.

Upon hearing this, Chen Zhuo raised an eyebrow and interrupted Wan Guanhai.

"Is this strange ability related to making wishes?"

Wan Guanhai, on the other end of the walkie-talkie, was visibly taken aback upon hearing this, his tone filled with surprise.

"Consultant Chen, how did you know?! We only found out about this today!"

"None of that matters, and I'm only speculating right now. We'll need to see that strange creature with our own eyes to be sure."

Even so, Chen Zhuo was already certain in his heart that this strange creature was probably an "old friend" of his in the bizarre game.

Seeing that Chen Zhuo didn't say anything, Wan Guanhai wisely stopped asking and continued to recount the details of the strange creature.

The branch named this strange creature "Buddha of Fulfillment".

The Buddha's power to fulfill vows is mainly twofold, and both are related to making vows.

The first method involves luring people into its treacherous territory to make vows to the Buddha.

After the Buddha fulfills the wish of the person who made the vow, the person must fulfill their vow.

The so-called fulfilling of a vow is to allow the person who made the vow to fulfill the Buddha's wish.

If the person making the wish cannot have it fulfilled, the Buddha who made the wish will transform into a Buddha image.

Before the organizers sealed off Lotus Temple, none of those who made wishes escaped unscathed.

The second scenario also requires that the person making the wish is tempted to do so.

However, the Buddha might deliberately misinterpret the wishes of those making them, leading to injuries or deaths.

According to the descriptions of those who barely survived, it is hoped that the Buddha could accurately see through the deepest desires of all those who entered the realm of evil.

It uses these things as bait to lure people into the ghost realm, making them make one wish after another.

According to our estimates, the probability of being tempted by it is as high as 80%!

It was precisely because of this ability that some members who went in to investigate suffered casualties.

The remaining people were forced to leave the temple, unable to explore its mysterious entrance further.

After Wan Guanhai recounted the entire situation, Chen Zhuo slowly began to speak.

"I understand. I will go there first thing tomorrow morning to handle this matter."

"I hope that once the Lotus Temple matter is resolved, you can provide me with the second address as soon as possible."

"No problem! I'll give you the address as soon as the organization confirms the incident is over!"

As soon as Wan Guanhai finished speaking, Chen Zhuo pressed the cut-off button and put away the walkie-talkie.

Just then, the midnight taxi slowly slowed down and finally stopped in front of the villa.

Chen Zhuo pushed open the car door and entered the villa. As soon as he closed the gate, he heard footsteps coming from the stairs.

Zhuo Fan came out of the room on the second floor, and greeted Chen Zhuo with a smile as he walked quickly downstairs.

"Hey bro, you're back!"

He quickly walked downstairs, looked Chen Zhuo up and down, and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that he was not injured.

"Hey buddy, have you had dinner yet? Would you like me to make you something else to eat?"

Chen Zhuo shook his head slightly, about to refuse, but Zhuo Fan had already turned around with a smile and gone into the kitchen to get busy.

"It's okay, I'll cook you a bowl of noodles, it'll be ready soon, you can rest for a bit."

Chen Zhuo changed into slippers and had just stepped into the living room when a small figure jumped off the sofa.

The little skeleton ran up to Chen Zhuo with its short legs, jumped into his arms, and let out a soft whimper.

Chen Zhuo reached out and caught it, gently patted its back, and carried it to the corner of the living room.

In the corner, the human body jigsaw puzzle stood quietly, like an ordinary medical model, not daring to move at all.

Chen Zhuo reached out and carefully examined the restrictions he had previously set up.

After confirming that the restriction was intact, he withdrew his hand, picked up the little skull, and returned to the living room to sit down.

Not long after, Zhuo Fan came out of the kitchen carrying a steaming bowl of soup noodles.

Upon closer inspection, there were two fried eggs resting on top.

He placed the noodles on the coffee table in front of Chen Zhuo and curiously leaned closer.

"Hey buddy, what happened to you these past few days? Tell me about it."

Chen Zhuo picked up his chopsticks and ate his noodles slowly, briefly recounting what had happened in Hefeng Village.

Zhuo Fan sat beside him, listening with great interest. He preferred hearing stories to experiencing things firsthand.

The two chatted casually until Chen Zhuo finished eating his noodles and tidied up. By then, it was completely dark outside.

Zhuo Fan yawned, said goodnight to Chen Zhuo, and then turned and went back to his room on the second floor.

Chen Zhuo also carried Xiao Lou back to his bedroom, and the night passed without incident.

The next day, Chen Zhuo got up just as dawn was breaking.

Zhuo Fan had already prepared breakfast, and he smiled and spoke after Chen Zhuo finished eating.

"Hey buddy, are you going out to handle those things again today?"

Chen Zhuo nodded slightly, picked up the white bone cane placed on the table, and got up to walk towards the door.

"Okay, I'm going to Lotus Temple on the outskirts of the city. I should be back tonight. I want to eat steak tonight."

"Oh? Okay! I'll go buy it later!"

Zhuo Fan was taken aback at first, but then his face lit up with joy. This was the first time the young man had ever told him what he wanted to eat!

This means the guy is starting to accept him!

How could this not be exciting?!

As Chen Zhuo listened to Zhuo Fan's words, the corners of his mouth unconsciously turned up. He then turned and left the villa, heading towards Lotus Temple.

More than half an hour later, the car slowly came to a stop in front of the Lotus Temple.

The entire Lotus Temple has now been sealed off by the organization, just like in the Hanlin residential area, with a branch member stationed at every interval.

As soon as Chen Zhuo got out of the midnight taxi, a tall figure quickly walked up to him.

This person was none other than Team Leader Lei, who led the team that day to bring the midnight taxis back to the branch.

Lei, with a smile on his face, extended his hand to Chen Zhuo.

"Advisor Chen, I've long admired your name! Meeting you today, I can confirm that your reputation is well-deserved."

Chen Zhuo reached out and shook hands with him briefly, without exchanging any pleasantries.

"Let's skip the formalities; dealing with this strange incident is the real business."

Upon hearing this, Lei's smile vanished instantly, replaced by a serious expression.

"To be honest, we are still trying to find a way to resist the influence of the Vow Buddha's Ghost Realm and enter the Lotus Temple to find the Ghost Gate."

At this point, Lei looked at Chen Zhuo, his tone filled with anticipation.

"Advisor Chen, do you have any way to safely enter the Ghost Realm?"
