    "Rebirth..."

    The connection between life and death, the cycle of life.

    Li Yu chewed these two words carefully, and his brain started to work.

    This world is a supernatural world, a world where the living and the dead coexist.

    Resurrection naturally refers to the resurrection of the deceased. What made him really puzzled was that this card indicated who the deceased was, himself, the mission target, Ngawang, Ngawang's sister, or something else.

    "Sir, are you alright... are you?" The rough voice was trembling.

    Li Yu put away his thoughts, turned his head to look over, and met a pair of cautious, yet dissatisfied and frightened eyes.

    This pitiful look like an enemy is very incompatible with the majestic appearance of the clerk, giving people the illusion that the spirit of this person is tight all the time.

    Li Yu smiled at the other party, "It's okay."

    The man was obviously relieved, and pointed to the glass jar in the young man's hand, "Do you want this bottle?"

    Li Yu handed him the honey, "Well, please settle the bill, thank you."

    The man returned to the counter with his things, picked up the code scanner and was about to scan the code, when the glass door of the left-hand room was suddenly knocked, so frightened that he directly supported the counter, turned out from the inside, and hid behind the young man.

    Li Yu froze in place, unable to understand the situation.

    The man shrank behind him, only showing a pair of eyes to look out of the glass, and saw a bat struggling on the ground, trying to get up.

    Li Yu, "It's just a bat, so scared like this?"

    The man embarrassedly stood up from behind the young man and defended himself, "Little brother, it's not that I'm timid, it's this neighborhood..."

    As soon as Li Yu heard this tone, he knew that there was a big melon, and he was full of energy, staring at the other party with bright eyes.

    "What's going on around here?"

    "There are ghosts around here..." The man's voice was extremely pressing, and he didn't forget to look out when he spoke, "It's just across from the neighborhood, five people died not long ago, it's terrifying."

    Li Yu, "How did you die?"

    The man, "Actually, there are two families, one where the husband killed his wife, and after hiding the body for a week, he committed suicide on the first night of his wife's death; one where his grandson killed his grandparents and jumped from the upstairs on the seventh night. down."

    "I know these things." The two cases had been on the local news, and there was a lot of commotion, and the original owner happened to take a few glances on TV.

    Because the impact on the community was not good, the news did not broadcast the specific address, nor did it detail the details of the murderer's murder, but only broadcasted it roughly.

    Li Yu, "Brother, has anyone in the community come to see such a wicked thing?"

    The man slapped his thigh, "I'm looking for it, why didn't I look for it, I'm looking for the most popular Taoist priest here."

    "Fu optimistic?" Three words popped out of Li Yu's mouth.

    "Yes, that's the name." The man covered his mouth with his hands, and his voice became a little quieter, "The Taoist priest came with a compass, walked all the way, and finally stopped at the last unit, and guess what? "

    "I can't guess, you can tell me quickly."

    "The master stood in front of the unit building, bowed to the building a few times, put the compass in his head, and told the property manager directly that there is nothing in this place and it is very safe."

    Li Yu, "..."

    The last building? Isn't this a bit too fucking coincidental.

    He swallowed, "It's because I can't ask you to leave, so why don't you just tell someone?"

    The man held the opposite opinion, "I think it should be a few bows and the things are sent away."

    Li Yu has seen Lao Guanzhu exorcise ghosts, it is definitely not as simple as walking a few steps with a compass and bowing.

    He didn't say anything, but he still insisted on his own opinion. After thinking about it, asked Sheng Yiming about it after went back.

    Looking at the face on the other side, the clerk knew that his statement had been denied, "Oh, don't believe it, after that time, nothing really happened in the community again."

    Li Yu asked back, "Don't you think the two people who committed suicide deserved it?"

    One kills his wife, the other kills his grandparents, just such a beast, if he doesn't die today, he will die tomorrow, and the retribution will be fulfilled sooner or later.

    "It is indeed what it deserves." The man was less afraid now, and went around the cashier to continue the checkout.

    Then he said, "I heard that the beast who kills his wife is married, and his wife is very good to him, but he has an affair outside. After the wife found out about this, the two had a big fight and moved. The hand, he went back and forth for some reason, and he accidentally killed someone. After the incident, he hid the body under the bed. On the seventh day, he ran into the street by himself and said to everyone, 'Help me, my wife is here to find him. I got my revenge, I killed my wife', Ranghou just ignored the block, ran a red light, crossed the road, and collided with a speeding truck."

    Li Yu was horrified, but couldn't hold back his curiosity, "Where's the other one?"

    "The other is more evil. I also heard from people in the community that the grandson and parents of that family died early, and the legacy left behind is enough for the grandparents and grandchildren to live comfortably. As a result, the grandson of that family did not live up to its expectations and was stained with fans. Of course, the old couple will not watch their grandson take a detour, find a way to lock the person in the room, and force him to quit addiction."

    The man sighed, shook his head and said, "Who would have thought, that idiot knocked on the door lock and ran out! You know, when you are addicted, you can do anything. The old couple was hacked to death by a kitchen knife."

    "There should be movement upstairs and downstairs, right?" Li Yu asked.

    "Of course there is." The man put the honey in a bag and handed it over, "it was the police downstairs who heard the shouting and called the police. When the police arrived, the man had already run away, and he didn't know how the grandson of the family hid it. He didn't catch it until the seventh day, when he himself jumped from a seven-storey unfinished building in the suburbs."

    This sentence remained in Li Yu's mind until he walked back to the community, but he still didn't return to his senses.

    He stopped outside the door of the bright unit building and looked up at the sixth floor. The white light came out from the room, and it seemed that white smoke was entangled in it.

    Turning to look around, it was actually foggy in the summer.

    Li Yu didn't dare to stay any longer, he drilled into the corridor, and poked the elevator button hard, hoping that the elevator would come down quickly.

    Fortunately, although was trembling all the way, it was still safe and nothing strange happened.

    Perhaps because of listening to two real supernatural stories, Li Yu always felt that the entire community was abnormally quiet, as if it was suppressed by something, and there was a depressing feeling of suffocation everywhere.

    Li Yu quickly walked out of the elevator, rushed to the door as if running for his life, and put the key in.

    As soon as the door opened, he quickly squeezed in sideways, for fear that if he was one step later, a hand would stretch out behind him and drag him into the darkness.

    Covering his chest and panting for a while, the young man adjusted his breathing and walked into the living room. The man leaned his head back on the sofa and seemed to be asleep.

    He quietly stepped down and was about to go to the kitchen when Sheng Yiming suddenly opened his eyes and looked over.

    The man's eyes were sharp and fleeting, he pinched the bridge of his nose and kneaded, his voice was hoarse, "I'm back."

    Li Yu took out the honey in the bag, "Does your head still hurt? I'll help you adjust some honey water."

    "Trouble." Sheng Yiming's voice was vague, unable to hide his tiredness.

    Li Yu entered the kitchen and searched for a long time before finding a glass cup from the innermost part of the hanging cabinet. He waited for the water to boil, let it cool, and added honey to mix thoroughly.

    When he went out again, the man's head was thrown back again, leaning on the back of the chair.

    He approached, put his ears close to listen, his breathing was steady and long, and then he reached out and touched the other's wrist lightly, not waking up.

    It seemed that he really fell asleep this time.

    Li Yu moved the man's long, heavy legs to the sofa, put a pillow under his head, and then found the air conditioner remote control and raised the temperature by two degrees.

    After doing all this, he looked around and found the most favorable posture for himself. He sat on the carpet with his legs bent, his head tilted, and leaned on the same pillow as the man.

    At first he was a little scared, afraid of having nightmares.

    But as the scent of the shower gel on the man dissipated, a faint, familiar and unfamiliar smell floated up, pressing down his suspended consciousness.

    Li Yu tried to open his eyes to explore the source of the smell, but sleepiness quickly prevailed.

    That night, he slept quite peacefully, without nightmares or ghosts, and the surrounding body was warm, like soaking in a basin of warm water, or like a warm quilt, wrapped in airtight.

    When opened eyes, it was already noon the next day.

    The tightly drawn curtains had been pulled to both sides last night, and the sun arrogantly shone in, just fell on the back of the sofa, and gently brushed the top of his head.

    Li Yu rubbed his eyes, feeling wrong, and sat up with a sigh.

    Just now, instead of sitting on the ground, he was lying flat on the sofa with a thin quilt in his arms.

    The sound of a range hood came from the kitchen.

    He lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and quickly rubbed his face to make himself look cleaner and more refreshed.

    In the kitchen, men in slacks, shirtless, and apron are cooking.

    Li Yu's gaze swept across the man's back recklessly, tsk, this figure is absolutely amazing.

    He swallowed his saliva, retracted his head against the wall, used the cold temperature of the wall to cool his cheeks, and secretly cleared his throat before standing up again, his voice was loud and clear, "Mr. Sheng."

    Sheng Yiming glanced back at him, "Wake up? It's twelve o'clock, get ready for lunch."

    Li Yu said embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, I fell asleep last night for no apparent reason."

    "Yeah." Sheng Yiming responded lightly and put the dishes in the pot into the box.

    That's right, it's the box, the packing box of a high-end hotel.

    Catching a glimpse of the young man's gaze, Sheng Yiming explained, "The takeaway I ordered has been delivered for more than half an hour. I'll heat it up again."

    Li Yu nodded and helped to carry the things out and put them on the dining table where only an empty vase was placed.

    The more thought about it, the more frightened became, hurried back to the kitchen to continue helping, and rushed to wash the pot when was done.

    When left the kitchen, saw a wet shirt scattered on the floor.

    Li Yu, "..."

    Sure enough, he thought too much, he thought the man was showing his body on purpose, secretly trying to seduce him.

    Sheng Yiming went upstairs to change his clothes, leaving behind an apron on his back, the waist, the muscles on his back... Li Yu couldn't help but swallowed twice.

    Soon, the man came down in a T-shirt.

    When the other party took his seat and picked up the chopsticks, Li Yu started to eat along with him. While eating, he talked about the case he heard from the person who bought honey last night.

    Sheng Yiming's face did not fluctuate in the slightest after hearing this, "There is such a thing, I only found out after listening to the security guard after get off work."

    Li Yu asked, "Are you afraid then?"

    "What's there to be afraid of." Sheng Yiming laughed softly, "Don't do anything wrong, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door."

    Li Yu suddenly remembered the fate of the two murderers.

    It is because they have done bad things that they will be sought revenge by the dead.

    Li Yu asked, "What happened to this building?"

    "No." Sheng Yiming ate the vegetables and glanced at the young man, "It's the second and fourth buildings, why, Mr. Ding is interested in visiting?"

    Li Yu hurriedly waved his hand, his body and soul have not yet been glued together, so he is not suitable for visiting haunted houses at night.

    Putting down his chopsticks, he moved the stool in the direction of the man, "I was just curious, since the accident happened in the two buildings in front, why did the Taoist priest follow the compass to the downstairs of this building, and bowed a few times."

    Sheng Yiming, "Who knows, maybe it's because of lack of skill, so I'm acting for others to see."

    Li Yu bit and didn't let go, "What about the compass? The compass can't be blind, right?"

    "It's malfunctioning." Sheng Yiming wiped his mouth after finishing his meal, "I need to work in the study in the afternoon, Mr. Ding will do it himself."

    Li Yu nodded obediently, "Okay, you go to work, I'll clean up the table."

    He propped his cheeks, tilted his head and stared at the man's back, his eyes narrowed, there was a ghost.

    No matter what he asks, the other party can find a reasonable excuse to prevaricate it, making people feel that he is deliberately covering up, or avoiding answering the question directly.

    Li Yu lowered his head to cook the rice, mulling clues in his heart.

    The first is Red Moon. The mission goal is to inject funds into the nightclub that is about to go out of business because of nostalgia, but it has never been patronized.

    Either don't care, or simply forget. After all, if you have money, you have too many industries in your hands.

    Either he knows the Red Moon well enough and thinks he doesn't need to ask.

    Both are possible, and Li Yu didn't know which one to choose for a while.

    Thinking of a turn, put it to the present.

    There were two murders before and after this community. The murderers both ended in suicide. They were superstitious about the property. They went to the master to see. The top floor of this building.

    The two haunted places are both related to the mission objective. Is it really just a coincidence?

    Sheng Yiming, Sheng Yiming, what is hidden behind this name?

    Li Yu had a headache thinking about it, and found nothing. He had formed a trembling frame in his heart, but he couldn't stand up.

    Need evidence, more evidence.

    Li Yu put the items on the table into the takeaway bag, and asked the system in his heart, "1551, do you think the mission goal is also related to Ngawang?"

    1551, "Probably not."

    Li Yu would rather kill him by mistake now, "Check out Awang's mobile phone address book and all social accounts."

    This kind of question is too simple, less than a minute, the result came out, no, there is no intersection between Awang and Sheng Yiming.

    1551, "But I found something interesting."

    Li Yu rolled his eyes, "Is it related to Lu Jiadong?"

    1551, "Well, there is an old photo in Ngawang's phone. It's a photo of Lu Jiadong and his sister."

    Li Yu asked the system to put the photo on the light screen.

    The photo is a little blurry. The pixel of the device that takes the picture will not be higher than 500. There is also a watermark at the bottom right, which is the model of the mobile phone and the shooting time.

    August 8th five years ago.

    1551 said, "This photo was imported from a computer."

    Thinking of Ngawang's weird rental house, Li Yu was cold and sweating, "Scan Ngawang's rental house remotely to see if there are any other photos."

    "Yes." As soon as the system's powerful perspective function was turned on, a complete perspective view of the house immediately appeared on the light screen.

    At this time, Ngawang was having lunch, noodles.

    There are two sets of bowls and chopsticks on the table, both holding things.

    The difference is that a pair of bowls and chopsticks was held by Ngawang, and the other pair of bowls and chopsticks stayed on the table quietly, with a tablet with a finger bone standing in front of it.

    This rental house is empty, except for a few changes of clothes in the simple closet, and only two mobile phones.

    One is in Awang's pocket for daily contact; the other is in a box under the coffee table, running out of power and shutting down.

    Li Yu has nothing to do. If he wants to find clues from the old mobile phone, he must turn it on. Even the system cannot be invaded without electricity.

    1551, "If you want to continue investigating him, you still have to make a trip."

    Li Yu, "..."

    Ngawang's obsession with the red moon is doubtful.

    After struggling for a long time, Li Yu still decided to overcome the psychological obstacle, and first went to Red Moon to get a headgear of a certain movie character to wear, so as not to be recognized by ghosts as soon as he entered the door, he did not forget that Ngawang and his elder sister wanted to make a mess. kill him.

    There are too many things piled up in heart, and don't have the heart to stay any longer.

    Li Yu found the study and knocked gently on the door, "Mr. Sheng, I'll go back first."

    The sound of typing on the keyboard in the room stopped, followed by the approaching footsteps, and the door opened.

    Sheng Yiming held on to the door frame, and the black shadow covered most of the youth in it, a sense of oppression and danger coexisted.

    "I'll drive you."

    Li Yu hurriedly said no, "I can go back myself."

    Sheng Yiming did not continue to persuade. Before the youth turned around, he pressed the shoulder on the right side of his shoulder, "Call me if you have anything, anything is fine."

    Li Yu's heart is so sweet, he's dying.

    When he walked out of the unit building, he was still dizzy and couldn't find Bei. The big guy in this world could do it. He was very satisfied.

    It's just a little bit bad, the shoulder that was bitten by the vinegar ghost before, and then pressed by the man's hand again, began to ache again.

    After more than ten minutes, the pain turned into numbness and finally disappeared.

    The shoulders were gone, Li Yu immediately forgot about it, and quickly got into a taxi.

    He happened to pass by the mobile phone city outside. He asked the driver to wait by the side of the road, went in and bought a new phone card and inserted it into the new mobile phone.

    Then let the driver continue on the road, go to the community where the old lady is, and pick up the exquisite little gift he is about to give to the vinegar ghost.
