    In the red moon, the staff of various departments have been in place and started to work.

    Li Yu dragged his tired body and went to the lounge, and just after lying down on a chair to rest, someone came in.

    Tang Song put on a suit jacket, stalked in and kicked the young man's calf with his feet, "Go over and make room."

    Li Yu opened his eyes and glanced at it, then closed it tightly, sat up on the sofa reluctantly, and put away his straight long legs.

    "How did you come?"

    "I've arranged the move to the office, and I'm here to catch up." Tang Song hugged his arms, curled up on the other side of the sofa, and fell asleep shortly after.

    Li Yu listened to the steady breathing next door, and soon fell asleep again.

    Unfortunately, he started dreaming.

    In the dream, he returned to the wax shop.

    There was still only the old lady in that room. She lowered her head and was holding a paper figure in her arms.

    Like some kind of wish for the dead, or a warning.

    Li Yu stood in the dead room and looked around, and found that the wreaths he saw when he went in the afternoon were gone, and paper figures were leaning on the walls on all sides.

    A pale face, a blushing face, a pair of black and white eyes that were clearly portrayed in a blunt and strange manner, and a mouth that grinned slightly, showing a strange smile...

    Faced by these faces, Li Yu felt cold all over, and cold sweat soaked his entire back.

    He turned around and tried to open the door to leave, but found that there was no lock on the iron door, the door was embedded in the wall.

    Li Yu, "..."

    He sighed helplessly. Since he can't get out, he can stay at ease and see what monsters and ghosts will appear nearby.

    The old lady didn't notice the other person in the room. She stood up the pasted paper figurine, took out the paper and pen to draw the facial features, then put it on the wall, and went on to do the next one.

    The newly made paper is not the same as the previous one. You can tell just by looking at the frame made by the bamboo strips. It must be a tall and thin person.

    If you guessed correctly, this paper figure should be the one he customized.

    Even in a dream, Li Yu became interested and leaned forward to look at it.

    As the production progressed, he gradually discovered that the face of the paper figurine was almost perfect, the outline of the chin was firm and delicate, and even the limbs were slender and beautiful. What surprised him most was that it was made in a life-size comparison.

    Li Yu blinked in surprise and turned to look at the others.

    In order to facilitate handling, those paper figures are almost all H-shaped without curves, and their stature is five-headed.

    Why make your own exception?

    Just thinking about it, the old lady in the living room suddenly disappeared.

    The room suddenly darkened, and the four corners were even more shrouded in darkness. Only the brightly colored paper figures were still clear, standing quietly as before.

    Li Yu's heart shrank suddenly, and he subconsciously raised his legs and put them on the sofa.

    He was afraid that something would stick out from below and grab his feet.

    With a bang, a gust of wind blew in, causing the paper people to stagger and rattle.

    Li Yu curled himself up in the corner of the sofa, the thumb and index finger of his right hand pinched the flesh on the inner side of his left arm and twisted it hard.

    Fuck, it doesn't hurt!

    Can't wake up from this dream!

    Li Yu's heart skipped a beat, jumped off the sofa, and ran to the back room in the living room.

    He kicked the door and rushed in. As far as he could see, there were paper figures, one next to the other, one on top of the other, stacking the room airtight.

    Not far from the door, there is another door.

    In contrast, it seems easier to go back to the living room than to move on.

    He just took a step back and bumped into something. When Li Yu looked back, there was actually a paper figurine behind him.

    The paper people began to move, and the thin paper rattled, sharper than when it was blown by the wind before, and something was about to break open from the inside.

    He took a closer look and saw that the bamboo strips hidden under the skin of the paper were struggling and squirming, and the piece on the stomach of the paper figure closest to him had been pushed up by the bamboo strips.

    Just then, the fragile paper was punctured.

    The bamboo strips rushed out from the paper hole, like a vine full of entanglements around Li Yu's feet.

    More and more bamboo strips emerged from the paper figurines, like a venomous snake, all wrapped around the only human in the room.

    Li Yu was lying on the ground, his body seemed to be bound by a thousand pounds, and he couldn't move at all, only the fear of extinction remained in his mind.

    He couldn't feel the pain, but he knew that the bamboo strips had fallen into the flesh, there was something invisible and malicious, and he wanted to smash him from the inside out.

    In the living room he couldn't see, the darkness had climbed along the ceiling directly above him, and then turned into a black liquid thick as ink, running down the walls and crawling across the floor, trying to surround him tightly.

    At the moment when the body was touched, the only fear left in his mind was gone, it was blank.

    In the next second, a strange screeching sound filled with great pain exploded in my ears.

    Li Yu suddenly woke up.

    He abruptly opened his eyes and sat up. The paper figures, bamboo strips, and darkness were all gone. What caught his eyes was Tang Song's worried face.

    Seeing his friend wake up, he breathed a sigh of relief, "It scared me to death, I thought you, like the security guard, were caught in a nightmare."

    "I don't think it's true." Li Yu touched his arm, then looked down at his leg, which was intact.

    He lifted the thin blanket over him, suddenly felt a little itchy nose, and sneezed heavily.

    Tang Song was also wearing a blanket, frowning and muttering, "I have to find someone to check the air conditioner. No matter how the temperature is adjusted, it's still so cold, it's probably broken."

    He carefully looked Li Yu up and down twice, and asked in a low voice, "What did you dream about just now?"

    Thinking of the previous situation, Tang Song felt uncomfortable all over, and hurriedly took out the yellow talisman given by the spectator and pinched it in his hand.

    He had slept soundly before, but he suddenly snorted and woke up from the cold, and then he saw Fa Xiao closed his eyes and kicked and kicked his limbs against the air.

    Tang Song's first reaction was a nightmare. He immediately squatted over and shouted at people.

    Sadly to no avail.

    Just when he was rubbing his hands and planning to slap his face, he suddenly woke up.

    Li Yu ignored Tang Song's question. He lowered his head and sat there for five minutes. He tilted his head and asked, "Who was calling just now?"

    "No one..." Tang Song was seen sweating coldly by the other party's serious expression.

    Someone, there must be someone.

    Li Yu remembered clearly that it was a woman who screamed, and the voice was right in his ear, not in a dream.

    Tang Song tightened the blanket on his body, his heart trembled, "Are you all right? Why do you wake up in a sleepy state?"

    Li Yu asked, "Then do you have tinnitus?"

    Tang Song was taken aback, "How do you know?!"

    Li Yu pursed his lips, barely showing a relaxed expression, and said casually to the person opposite, "It's almost time, let's go to work first."

    "Don't, you haven't said what you dreamed about." After a few more words, Tang Song's fear disappeared again, and he held on to him.

    Li Yu, "I dreamed of a lot of paper figurines, and they all jumped at me together..."

    "Stop!" Tang Song remembered the incense wax shop while listening, and asked timidly but unable to restrain, "Ding Lian, do you think there will be any problems with that old lady?"

    "There is a fart problem." The old lady also helped him, Li Yu wanted to say seriously, "Thinking about it every day, dreaming at night, don't think about it, think about everything in that way."

    Tang Song nodded again and again and waved his hand, "I know, I know."

    Li Yu folded the blanket and put it on the armrest of the sofa, and started changing in front of Tang Song.

    Tang Song also felt that it didn't matter. He thought about waiting for Fa Xiao to finish changing his clothes, and the two would go out together. He sat back on the sofa with a blanket and took out a bottle of mineral water from the employee benefits under the coffee table.

    He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, raised his head to catch the mouth of the bottle with his mouth, and just took a sip, and found that the transparent clear liquid in the bottle had turned red like blood.

    The stench of blood instantly filled his senses of taste and smell.

    "Fuck!" Tang Song yelled in horror and threw the bottle out.

    Mineral water spilled from the bouncing bottle, and it sank on the white tiled floor, nothing out of the ordinary.

    "What's the matter with you?" Li Yu had already changed into his overalls, buttoning his cufflinks while looking at the sofa in confusion.

    Tang Song opened his mouth, and Guan Zhu's words popped into his mind again.

    He raised his hand to rest on his forehead, closed his eyes and calmed down for a moment, finally shook his head, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's nothing, I'm just confused, thinking the water is not clean."

    Li Yu lowered his head and put on his badge on his black suit, and stretched his clothes again, "Let's go."

    Tang Song responded vaguely and stepped out of the door of the lounge, giving people the illusion that there was something terrifying in the room behind him.

    When Li Yu turned around and closed the door, he looked up and saw something in the corner of the wall facing him.

    He was stunned for a moment, blinking uncertainly, only to find that there was only a black shadow of the locker identified by the light.

    Tang Song saw him standing at the door and looking in strangely, his heart was beating, he didn't plan to wait any longer, and ran away.

    Li Yu, who just turned around, "..."

    He locked the door, sighed, turned and walked towards the hall. From beginning to end, he did not notice that there was an invisible shadow that had been hugging him tightly from behind.

    The nightclub has not yet reached the peak of passengers, and there is no one in the lobby and box.

    Li Yu came to the area he was in charge of and cleaned with the waiters with tools.

    He glanced at the people closest to him one by one, then turned his head to look around.

    The decoration of Red Moon is a bit antique European style. There is a huge crystal lamp on the top of the hall. From this, there are circles of colored spotlights.

    As soon as the music sounded, the spotlights were given life by the lighting controller, and various colorful changes were made.

    The people here are like these lamps, with stories of various colors, but from the memory of the original owner, the red moon is definitely classified as white.

    Tang Song usually looks lazy and doesn't take things to heart, but when it comes to big issues, he definitely knows what to do, and won't touch gray or even black illegal businesses.

    And judging from the information in memory, there are not often people with powder or drugs in the red moon.

    Once a suspicious person is found, the thugs in the night scene will approach quietly and use various methods to get the person out.

    Li Yu wiped the coffee table in front of him over and over again, still unable to figure out why.

    "1551, I can be sure that Red Moon has no problems in business, and Tang Song has no problems either."

    "The information provided above can't be wrong," 1551 said. "There must be a secret here."

    Li Yu did not deny this, and analyzed, "You said that the mission target also happens to have a stake in Red Moon. Is there any connection between his secrets and Red Moon's secrets?"

    1551 said maybe there is, maybe not.

    Li Yu didn't expect to be able to find out the matter at once. He looked up and happened to see the young man who found him in the alley before.

    Not long after the young man arrived under the original owner, his name was Ngawang and his surname was Qian.

    Nga Wang just happened to look over, his eyes lit up, he trotted to the foreman, and asked with concern, "Brother Ding, are you feeling better?"

    "It's alright." Noticing the other party's eyes, Li Yu said casually, "The lump on his face looks scary, and it will disappear in two days."

    It's not just the face that was beaten, Ngawang asked again, "What about other places?"

    "It's no big deal," Li Yu said, "it'll be fine."

    In fact, on the way to send Guanzhu back to Beishan, Tang Song had persuaded him to let him rest for a few days before going to work. The brothers are good, and no deduction is made.

    But Li Yu didn't do it.

    Now that you know the content of the task, the sooner you solve it, the better.

    Awang nodded when he heard the words, but did not intend to leave, as if he had something to say.

    Li Yu waited quietly, raised his eyebrows to signal him to hurry, it was about time to go to work.

    After holding back for a long time, Awang finally said what he had kept in his heart for two days, "Brother Ding, I just wanted to ask, what happened to you and the general manager that day? When you came out of the office, something was wrong, like I encountered something terrible. And... Later, I wanted to bring hot water to you, and I overheard it outside the door of the lounge, you seem to be talking about ghosts..."

    He looked at the young man opposite and asked in a low voice, "I should have heard correctly, Brother Ding."

    Hitting a ghost can be considered a private event, Li Yu didn't plan to reveal it, "You heard it wrong, that's not the case."

    He squinted at the boy, "Then why didn't you come in later?"

    "Because I realized that it's not good to interrupt your conversation suddenly..." Ngawang's eyes flickered, "I'll go wash the rag first."

    After speaking, he snatched the handkerchief from the foreman and went to the operation room connected to the kitchen.

    Li Yu frowned slightly, how could this person panic.

    Without thinking too much, he turned around and instructed the waiters to set up the countertops in the area. After checking and passing the customs, they also walked towards the kitchen.

    Apart from Nga Wang, there was no one in the operating room.

    This kid has been in for ten minutes, right? It's just a handkerchief, and it took so long to wash?

    Li Yu shook his head. As usual, he checked all the faucets in the operating room. Looking back, he saw that Nga Wang was still standing at the end of the pool, staring at the faucets in a daze.

    He walked behind him and saw that the boy was not alert at all, raised his hand and pressed it on his shoulder.

    Nga Wang's entire figure was like a cat whose foot was hurt by stepping on it. The reaction was very abnormal. He shouted on the spot, turned around and pushed the person behind him hard.

    Li Yu staggered back two steps, stunned by the situation, "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

    Seeing who was coming, Nga Wang hurriedly dropped the wet handkerchief in his hand, put the other hand behind his back, and explained nervously, "No, I'm too sensitive, Ding brother, I didn't push you on purpose, you Can you please not tell the general manager, don't fire me."

    Everyone knows that the original owner is a related household, and he calls Ding Ge affectionately, but his heart is clear, knowing that the other party, like the general manager, holds the power of life and death.

    The tension on Ngawang's face was too exaggerated, making people feel a little nervous, Li Yu patted him on the shoulder, "No, don't think about it."

    He pointed to the faucet behind the other party, "It's not closed tightly."

    Nga Wang hurriedly closed the door, bowed slightly to the foreman again, and ran away in a hurry.

    Looking at the back, Li Yu touched his chin and thoughtfully, "1551, do you think he is strange?"
