The world begins with Hong Kong TV series

Chapter 161 Wolverine is called 'Little Gao Chao' (7200)

Outside a private martial arts school.

"Is there any particular meaning behind the nine-eyed Dzi bead that Brother Chao tattooed on him?"

Luo Tianhong sounded curious.

He and Lian Haolong had just helped Gao Chao control Li Jie, forced him against the pillar of the ring, and tied him up with thick ropes for more than ten times. Then Gao Chao ordered the two men to guard outside.

Lian Haolong looked at Luo Tianhong in silence for a few times, somewhat too lazy to answer. However, when he saw Luo Tianhong blowing the blue hair on his forehead and taking a few steps towards him, as if he was going to get to the bottom of the matter, he could only helplessly say two words in a muffled voice:

“…Exorcism.”

"Is it another mysterious thing like that Japanese sorcerer?" Luo Tianhong frowned slightly.

As a martial artist who has practiced martial arts since childhood, training hard in winter and summer, and has achieved his current strong skills and physique through perseverance, he is not keen on getting involved in these "supernatural" things at the moment.

"... When Brother Chao asked me to come here today... I asked him." Lian Haolong nodded, squinted his eyes and said, looking at the tightly closed door of the martial arts hall:
"This former special forces bomb expert named Li Jie personally killed the leader of the jewelry robbery at the Cointreau Hotel not long ago."

"The leader is called Doctor. He has turned into a ghost and is following Li Jie closely...Brother Chao's intention is to use tattoos and rituals to exorcise the evil spirits from him." Lian Haolong told everything he knew.

He continued:
"Brother Chao said that Dzi beads are also called Heaven-fallen Stones in ancient books and can be used as medicine. In the snowy area, they are a sacred object, similar to the prayer beads in the hands of Buddhists. They are also precious accessories and are sought after by many wealthy people... to show their noble status."

"Some Dzi beads are even very valuable and can be auctioned for tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars, or even 100 million..."

"And the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead, known as the King of Dzi Beads, is a treasure formed by nature absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon. It is said to be worn by the gods to protect their safety... It is the incarnation of the ninth-grade lotus, and it has hidden the power of creation. There are only two of them in the world!"

Lian Haolong, who originally had no interest in talking, said a lot in one breath.

I even felt a little jealous when I said that.

In fact, he didn't believe everything about Gao Chao performing exorcism on Li Jie, but as a member of Gao Chao's core team, he knew that this Brother Chao had mastered many magical "supernatural" methods.

So I don’t have the courage or confidence to question Gao Chao.

As for the Nine-Eyed Dzi Beads, he thought it might be worth a try. After all, Brother Chao had the magic medicine called the 'Red Potion'.

Lian Chaoge admired the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead so much. This magical Dzi Bead might be able to give him and Susu a child...

"So that's how it is..." Luo Tianhong nodded.

His thoughts were much simpler than Lian Haolong's. He was now convinced of Gao Chao and just thought this matter was very interesting:
"Can tattoos really ward off evil spirits?"

"Da Shengfa, Xiao Lao, and Mai Yusheng seem to have said the same thing... They said Chao Ge knows a ghost hunter named Leon, who also said that tattoos can drive away ghosts."

"The Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead is so magical, so the red-eyed blue war wolf tattoo that Brother Chao gave me can't be any worse!"

……

Just as Luo Tianhong opened his clothes with great interest, revealing a pair of bloodshot wolf eyes and a wolf head tattoo on his chest that looked like it was roaring ferociously, he looked at him secretly.

Gao Chao was rapping crazily to Li Jie, who was tied to a pillar with a gloomy face:
"People must rely on themselves! People must rely on themselves... People must rely on themselves! Ah hu~ People must..."

As he spoke, Gao Chao shook his wrist and a black shadow shot out from his sleeve. It circled around Li Jie several times in the air, spinning and jumping, swinging out whip shadows, as if it was whipping something, doing all kinds of fancy moves.

At the same time, Michiko, who had not chosen to show up when Lian Haolong was here, quietly appeared in the corner of the martial arts hall.

As its blue cat eyes flashed fluorescent light.

Li Jie suddenly felt a chill and felt a chilly wind blowing from behind him. It seemed as if an unknown creature was watching him. The cold, slippery and eerie touch made him shudder...

this moment.

Looking at Gao Chao who seemed to be performing nonsensical pranks in front of him, Li Jie couldn't help but mutter to himself.

Is it true?
Is the doctor really haunting?

Li Jie frowned.

When he was serving in the special forces, he had heard of some "strange people and things", but he had never had the opportunity to come into contact with them personally, and he had always been in a state of disbelief.

As a bomb expert, he always keeps his distance from these weird things.

Moreover, why is it that only the doctor can turn into the "ghost" mentioned by Gao Chao and follow him closely...Haven't he seen enough dead people?
"Ajie! Don't doubt it! Resolve all your worries and make the lotus in your heart bloom... This is the Nine-Eyed Dzi Bead!"

“…contains the supreme wisdom!”

At this point even Gao Chao himself didn't know what to say.

While he was frantically saying "people have to rely on themselves", he also took the time to say a few nonsense words.

He was also helpless inside.

It’s all the doctor’s fault!
The conditions for unlocking the talent of [Self-Reliance] are too outrageous—

'(Kissing with one hundred kinds of poisonous snakes / Repeating 'People must rely on themselves' ten thousand times in Li Jie's ear)'

I only shouted it more than a hundred times.

Gao Chao felt that he was a little liar.

He is tired of talking! He is tired of heart too!
I had no choice but to change to this special talent of [Rap Master].

“——Based on the average person’s tongue skills, the tongue skills are super enhanced.”

In the past, this talent was used on Zhu Wanfang, Hong Sheng and others.

Li Jie can be considered to be lucky enough to be favored by the emperor.

that's it.

Gao Chao shouted the doctor's catchphrase "People must rely on themselves" in front of Li Jie nine thousand eight hundred and ninety-nine times at the speed of one sentence per second!
Even Michiko, who had just cooperated with Gao Chao in performing the "possession" method and was exhausted, stared at Gao Chao with her cat-like eyes wide open, in a daze.

He looked at me as if I were a lunatic.

As for Li Jie.

My heart is filled with mixed emotions.

At the beginning, when Gao Chao, Lian Haolong and Luo Tianhong teamed up to easily subdue him and tied him up, he thought Gao Chao wanted to harm him.

He was looking angry and wondering, "If Gao Chao wanted to harm him, why did he go to so much trouble to rescue him from prison?"

Then he heard Gao Chao tell him that the doctor's ghost was still around and was transforming into a ghost and following him closely, trying to possess him and "live a second life" in him.

Li Jie naturally didn't believe it.

At first, Li Jie thought that Gao Chao was deliberately exposing his scars by madly repeating the doctor's catchphrase "People must rely on themselves".

Is ready to kill people and destroy their hearts!
However, at this moment, Gao Chao recited his mantra almost 10,000 times, without stopping for nearly three hours! He was sweating profusely, but his eyes were always firm and clear...

Li Jie also fell silent.

When Gao Chao finally unlocked [Self-reliance], he picked up a clean towel on the ring to wipe his sweat, then he personally helped him untie the rope, let him down from the ring pillar, and asked with concern, "Ajie, how do you feel now? Are you okay?"

Li Jie's Adam's apple rolled.

For a moment, I didn't know what to say.

Three hours ago, he was ready to fight Gao Chao and the others to the death once he had a chance to break free from the ropes...

"...Are there really ghosts in this world?" After a while, Li Jie asked in a somewhat dry voice, looking at the 'Nine-eyed Dzi Bead' tattoo that Gao Chao had tattooed on his chest, which looked like a pendant.

"Yes, but they are very rare. People's physiques are different. Some people can continue to stay in the world as ghosts after death."

Gao Chao took a few gulps of drinking water and continued:
"There is a Taoist Association in Hong Kong Island that specializes in dealing with these ghosts. I'll take you to meet them when I have time."

"...Of course, there are many different ways to exorcise ghosts in this world, and the Taoist Association does not represent absolute authority. I have a good brother named Leon, and his methods are the same as mine, but they are different!"

Gao Chao also patched up his previous "crazy way of exorcising ghosts".

“…Is it possible that there is really a soul after death?”

Li Jie murmured.

He thought of his wife and children who were killed by a doctor many years ago.

"So, it's over, right?"

After a moment of silence, Li Jie looked at Gao Chao again, his tone becoming serious:
"...Mr. Gao, I hope this is the first and last time! If you do this strange thing to me again without notifying me next time..."

"I'll just leave!"

"It's not that I don't keep my promise...it's just that you're too weird!" Li Jie took a few deep breaths and looked decisive.

There was even more confusion in his eyes.

Although he had not been really "fooled" by Gao Chao yet, he was still crippled.

But the supernatural phenomena he had just witnessed and experienced made him begin to doubt this world.

What he didn't realize was...

After Gao Chao's series of nonsensical "weird" exorcism methods, his vigilance and resistance due to Gao Chao's identity as a "gang leader" have faded a lot...

Just like Gao Chao's previous life, most people would subconsciously not suspect how evil a "funny guy" could be.

However in fact.

The twin brothers, who have always been funny, would still sell some lymph meat and trough meat to their "family" and "brothers" while smiling jokingly...

……

……

After Li Jie left.

Gao Chao, who said that he was "seriously injured" from exorcising evil spirits, asked Luo Tianhong and Lian Haolong to go to Youguqi Restaurant to welcome Li Jie, and he chose to stay in the martial arts hall alone.

"...You said it was difficult for you to get close to Li Jie?"

Gao Chao picked up Michiko, held her in his arms and continued to ask:
"You're not lying to me, are you? The Nine Lives Cat's magic has no effect on Li Jie, Tian Hong and the others, but now it's hard for them to even get close to them... How do I know whether you're telling the truth or not?!"

As he spoke later, Gao Chao's tone became fierce. He grabbed Michiko's neck with force, his eyes turned cold, and he began his daily intimidation and training.

While interrogating Michiko, he also used the evil spirit whip to whip Michiko.

"It's true... it's true! Gao-san!"

Compared to the time when she was first captured by Gao Chao, Michiko's performance has become increasingly unbearable.

At this time, Ling was kicking his legs in the air, shivering, looking pitiful.

Gao Chao also keenly noticed this.

He had been thinking these days, was Michiko deliberately showing weakness in front of him? Or was she pretending?
Or is it the side effect of the Nine-Life Cat's magic to save lives...

Gao Chao, who has been practicing [Evil Spirit Whip], [Nine-Life Cat Magic], and [Amaterasu Soul Control Technique] for some time, has not mastered the latter technique except for the Evil Spirit Whip that can take shortcuts and the Nine-Life Cat Magic that can be performed with the help of Michiko.

However, after having been exposed to several top-level magic techniques of the Jiujiu School, and having pried out more and more other magic techniques and basic knowledge and experiences of the cultivation world from Michiko, Gao Chao has gained a considerable understanding of this evil cultivation sect.

It is known that although the means of inheritance of the Jiujiu School are magical enough, except for the fundamental method [Amaterasu Soul Control Technique], most of the magic techniques are unconventional, powerful, can be mastered quickly, and have rich methods... but almost all of them have side effects!
"Gao Sang, just like what is said in the Soul Control Technique you are practicing now, the body is the container of the soul. The prerequisite for condensing the black fire is that the body is pure... This is also the reason why it is more advantageous to practice Soul Control Technique at a young age. The body and soul complement each other..."

Michiko began to explain to Gao Chao.

As soon as he opened his mouth he spoke in classical Chinese and professional terms. If Gao Chao had not already started practicing this technique, he would not have been able to understand him.

According to Michiko, the human body is the boat and the house, and the soul is the person on the boat and in the house.

The stronger the person's body is, the sturdier the ship and the house will be, and the person will not be easily influenced on the mental and soul levels by other means.

This is also why, in its extremely weak state at present, it is difficult for it to affect Li Jie, a living person with Wolf Warrior-level physical fitness and whose qi and blood are far superior to ordinary people, in its ghost state.

In Gao Chao's opinion, if we follow Michiko's statement.

Therefore, the stronger your physical fitness is, the less likely it is that your mind will be controlled by magic, special abilities, etc. These supernatural means.

Based on what he has seen and heard in this strange world, he can infer the same conclusion.

And before that, when we dealt with Deng Bo and Han Chen.

The reason why Gao Chao didn't let Michiko possess them was that he chose to use the Nine-Life Cat Spell less and less each time.

It is also because Michiko herself said that its current state is too weak. If it controls Deng Bo and Han Chen to commit suicide through possession, it will greatly accelerate the speed of its soul being torn apart. The consequences will be more serious than the backlash of the Nine-Life Cat's magic.

All this is because Michiko is already in a "very disabled" state, and every time she uses a method, it is possible to damage the already limited essence.

Michiko also said seriously at this time:
"... Gao Sang, if I hadn't used the Nine Lives Cat Magic to be reborn and hadn't paid such a huge price, with my magic power intact, I would have been able to deal with your three men whose energy and blood are far superior to ordinary people!"

"Please help me regain my strength! I will assist you and rule the entire Hong Kong Island! Let the Governor become your slave!"

"How shameless!" Gao Chao didn't take his words to heart.

Michiko didn't have the ability or courage to do this when she was alive.

What’s more, the current state is neither human nor ghost, neither demon nor corpse.

"...I only have five more chances left to curse the Nine Lives Cat Magic, and my current strength is not enough to cooperate with you, Gao Sang, to perform this magic again." Michiko reminded, with a weak face and a hint of pleading:
"Please help me become a cat demon as soon as possible."

"Otherwise I won't be able to help you next time!"

"Cat demon..." Gao Chao said in a subtle tone:
"How can I help you? I don't have even a trace of magic power!"

"If Gao-sang can provide some rare treasures..." Michiko looked at Gao Chao hopefully.

Seeing Gao Chao's expressionless face and dim pupils, he immediately said sinisterly:
"Or Gao Sang, you can do as I told you before and use a large number of living people to perform the blood sacrifice ritual of my Jiujiu Sect. If you can find a pure yin body born on a yin day, yin month and yin year..."

"Ugh! Gao-san..."

Before Michiko could finish her words, Gao Chao grabbed her by the neck and her grimacing expression disappeared in an instant:

“… Spare my life!”

"Remember, I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

Gao Chao said slowly.

After throwing Michiko aside, he ignored it.

Instead, he placed the newly unlocked 45th special talent on the talent activation slot.

Your own talent configuration is updated instantly——

"Activated talents (6/6): [Double-bone Dragon], [Hong Kong Island Zhao Zilong], [Invincible Wind and Fire Wheel], [Battle Side·Lucky Aura], [Killing Machine], [Self-reliance]"

Among them, [Self-Reliance] is a powerful recovery talent with growth attributes.

----------

[Self-reliance (people must rely on themselves! Even if you are a robber, it is best not to have a catchphrase!)]

——The stronger your own strength, the faster your physical injuries will recover.

——Except for snake venom, the mortality rate of other injuries to the body is moderately weakened.

——The damage and mortality rate caused by snake venom are super enhanced.

----------

Plus the already solidified [Immortal God of War].

Gao Chao felt that he was now truly one of those 'unkillable' villain ultimate bosses in Hong Kong movies.

It has been hurtling towards the BUG-level direction of 'immortality'.

From now on, Wolverine in Marvel will probably be called Xiao Gaochao!

Gao Chao then used guns and knives to test his current physical recovery speed.

It was discovered that the speed of recovery from injuries of the [Immortal God of War] was super enhanced compared to that of ordinary people. After being blessed by the power of several talents such as [Double Bone Dragon], his physical recovery speed, which was already much stronger than that of ordinary people, was significantly enhanced again!
Even after he had taken the trouble to cut his skin with a knife.

If the wound is shallow.

It was fully recovered in a few minutes!
There was very little blood even coming out!

This is already a clear supernatural phenomenon.

Michiko next to her was also confused at this moment, her heart filled with surprise.

It has never been able to understand the source of its superb power.

This oriental man really does not possess any magical powers at all.

And although his own Qi and blood were much stronger than that of ordinary people, it was obviously not as strong as those three subordinates...

Could it be the so-called divine incarnation in the East? A deity descending to earth?

Thinking of Gao Chao's many magical skills, Michiko couldn't help but start to have wild thoughts.

On Gao Chao's side, he also replaced [Self-reliance] with [Attack of Wolf Warriors].

This growth-oriented talent is indeed strong.

Unfortunately, the snake venom is weak.

Although [Immortal God of War] is enough to greatly weaken it, it can even ignore the super enhancement of the "lethal rate" brought by the snake venom.

But there is still an impact on the speed of recovery from injuries.

With a limited number of activatable talent slots, Gao Chao is temporarily planning to use this special talent obtained from the doctor only when he is injured.

……

……

soon.

As Gao Chao uses his energy.

Those Hong Kong citizens who were paying attention to Fang Xiaoling suddenly discovered that the newspaper's evaluation of Fang Xiaoling's incident at the Jundu Hotel had changed.

"Fang Xiaoling was not incontinent, but her skirt was wet by the red wine while she was running away. Those who said she was incontinent were just maliciously slandering and spreading rumors against Fang Xiaoling..."

'According to reports, many celebrities from the entertainment industry who survived the incident at the Cointreau Hotel that night came forward and said that they saw Fang Xiaoling knock over a bottle of red wine. Long Wei personally admitted that he smelled wine that night. It was Lafite from 1982, a French wine...'

'The reporter who took the photo of Fang Xiaoling's incontinence apologized in the newspaper and said he was guilty...'

'Fang Xiaoling was maliciously slandered! Her neighbors said that she was overwhelmed and committed suicide by cutting her wrists late at night... Language can also kill people. Here I appeal to all media workers...'

'Fang Xiaoling is so pitiful...'

With the repeated bombardment from newspapers and television stations, Fang Xiaoling has become the hottest female star of the moment. Her popularity has skyrocketed, and the direction and public opinion have changed so quickly that even Gao Chao, the instigator, was a little surprised.

In addition to his contributions in this matter, such as asking Da Shengfa to communicate with the reporter and asking the reporter to confess his guilt in the newspaper... there were actually other people who assisted.

Because it was agreed with Gao Chao that Fang Xiaoling would be the heroine of the new play, Long Wei and several big bosses behind him also contributed to the cause. However, the reason why it could have such a big impact was also because more male and female stars in the entertainment industry spontaneously cheered for it.

These stars have indeed suffered from Hong Kong entertainment reporters and paparazzi for a long time.

But as a star, he dare not easily fall out with these pens and mouthpieces in the entertainment industry, as the cost of a head-on confrontation is too high.

This time, with Gao Chao, a gang leader who had already "rectified" the Hong Kong entertainment industry once, taking the lead, these guys who feed off celebrities naturally don't mind following suit.

Everyone likes to win a smooth battle.

This incident also made the Hong Kong stars in this other world deeply aware of the superb power, and also made them remember the "Superman Film Company" which had just opened for a few days.

……

Superman Apartments.

Inside the furniture store on the second floor.

"Fang Xiaoling is indeed so pitiful... And Mei, you look a bit like Fang Xiaoling, but I think you are prettier than it, even though you haven't dressed up!"

Fang Fang held the newspaper and smiled at Ruan Mei, who had already officially started working at the furniture store.

"No way... I'm not as pretty as those big stars." Ruan Mei was a little shy and said softly:

"Actually, I quite like Miss Fang. I really enjoyed watching her drama "Flower Street Goddess" which aired last year."

"Someone in the newspaper said that Fang Xiaoling was able to 'clear her name' this time because Brother Chao helped her. So she must be very familiar with Brother Chao. Maybe we will have a chance to meet her in the future!" Fang Fang analyzed.

"Mr. Gao is indeed amazing." Ruan Mei nodded in agreement, unable to help but feel a little excited:
"It would be great if I could have a chance to get Miss Fang's autograph!"

……

the other side.

Hongxing.

The atmosphere in the lobby was solemn.

Jiang Tiansheng stood up, ignoring the anxious and even pleading look of Big Boss B, and said slowly:

"A country has its own laws, and a family has its own rules. If the emperor breaks the law, he will be punished just like the common people... enforce the family rules!"

In front of the statue of Guandijun.

Chen Haonan knelt on the ground as if he had lost his parents.

Big Boss B, who looked painful and uncomfortable, personally executed his family rule of "hooking up the second sister-in-law" during his trip to Macau.

"what!"

Chen Haonan screamed.

Big Boss B poked his abdomen with a bunch of burning cigarettes. His face was distorted with pain as he heard the hissing sound of smoke.

Liang Kun was watching from the side with a sneer on his face.

He also picked up the newspaper on the table and covered his nose with it, showing an expression of disgust as if he was smelled by the smoke.

After Chen Haonan, who was expelled from Hongxing, had been executed, Liang Kun's younger brother suddenly whispered to him:

"Brother Kun, this is bad! All the goods in our store have been seized...Except for the ones we traded with Gao Chao, all our own stocks that we hadn't distributed yet have also been confiscated by the police..."

"——Bang!"

After being stunned for a few seconds, Liang Kun's eyes widened with anger. He slammed the table, stood up suddenly, and subconsciously looked around for tools to put out the fire.

However, the only responses he received were cold, indifferent, or angry looks from other Hongxing Hall Masters.

Especially Big Brother B, after he personally expelled Chen Haonan, whom he regarded as half a son and a capable assistant, from Hongxing, he looked at Liang Kun, the instigator, with hatred to the core.

"……damn it!"

Liang Kun was very angry.

I can only curse in my heart.

Anyone in Hong Kong who dares to trade powder with Gao Chao again is a fool, the biggest fool in the world!

Gao Chao's failure is even more despicable than Jiang Tiansheng!

Liang Kun didn't understand at this time.

He must have been tricked by Gao Chao.

Otherwise there would be no such coincidence!
"call……"

Liang Kun puffed up his cheeks, took a few deep breaths, and suppressed the rage in his heart. He could only endure it for now.

Since he had just successfully forced Jiang Tiansheng to abdicate and give up his position as the leader of the Hongxing Group to him, the most important thing for him now was to secure his own position.

Instead of turning against Gao Chao as soon as he came to power and creating a powerful enemy for the society.

Moreover, he had no legitimate reason to turn against Gao Chao - at least when he made the deal with Gao Chao, he was not the leader of Hongxing, and Hongxing at that time had a clear ban on such transactions.

He can only swallow this loss in silence!

At this time, Liang Kun had already made up his mind after dealing with Big Brother B, the annoying guy who always opposed him.

The next one is Gao Chao!
This young man really thinks he is invincible!

……

What Liang Kun didn’t know was.

That night.

Chen Jiaju then found Gao Chao with a bag of money:

"Ah Chao, according to the regulations, this 1.5 million Hong Kong dollars informant fee is already the upper limit set by our Hong Kong Island Police in the Informant Ordinance... Although according to the previous share, you should be given a commission of 2 million for helping the police to confiscate the goods from Liang Kun."

"It's okay. It's all for justice. It doesn't matter if it's 500,000 more or less."

Gao Chao took it easily.

How much is too much?

He had already gotten Liang Kun's film and television company for free - Gao Chao originally planned to wait for the internal strife in Hongxing before taking over the company. Unexpectedly, after Di Lu joined him, he was able to help him find a batch of Han Chen's inventory.

It's just waste recycling.

"... Ah Chao, tomorrow is our Hong Kong Island Police Free Fighting Competition. It's a pity that you are too famous now. Many people know your face through newspapers and TV reports. Otherwise, I would like to invite you to watch it!"

Chen Jiaju said with some regret.

"Are there any strong opponents?" Gao Chao's eyes moved.

"Besides Chen Guorong, there is a man called Ma Jun who is said to be very skilled."

"Ma Jun...you don't have to be afraid of him."

"Why? Have you seen him?" Chen Jiaju asked in a puzzled tone.

"He has one bone and you have two bones. I think you have a better chance of winning, Ka Kui!"
