Chapter 3 Two-faced Buddha

For the next week, Ye Feng didn't take any ghost hunting requests and helped Lu Yingjiu arrange the office.

In this day and age, "expelling ghosts" is not a secret. A considerable number of people know about the existence of ghost exorcists, but only a few have actually come into contact with them. The probability of hitting a ghost is really low, and it basically only exists in the story of the neighbor's aunt.

Very few psychic offices open upright - not impossible, but inconvenient.

For such obscure and mysterious things, people's ideas have not changed so quickly. Also, most people don't want this kind of thing next to their home.

Fear because you don't understand. It's just human nature.

So the firm needs a cover.

Some are disguised as convenience stores, some are disguised as bookstores, all kinds of strange things, everything - the office has unstable customers, Lu Yingjiu has a friend, he found out that fake convenience stores are more profitable than ghost hunting, so he changed his career.

A sign hangs outside: [Lu Yingjiu bar]

The pattern is a cow cat with its head sticking out of a beer mug.

The layout of the house is fairly simple, with bar counters, wine cabinets, tables and chairs and decorations. A talisman paper was pasted on the door of the back room, which contained all kinds of exorcism utensils and notes.

Ye Feng said, "Why did you think of opening a bar?"

"Actually, I don't want to. I'm not interested in wine at all." Lu Yingjiu said, "But I want to play tricks. Don't you think the name 'Lu Ying Bar' is great."

Ye Feng: "..."

Ye Feng said again: "You don't even have a bottle of wine, let alone a bartender. What if there are really guests?"

"There won't be any customers." Lu Yingjiu said casually, "Look at this broken place, if there is no traffic, if there is no publicity, the store will be rudimentary. If you think about it, this is a broken store. , will you come? Anyway, I won't. It's almost the same place as money laundering."

Ye Feng: "...Then it's always necessary to disguise it." He stood up, "Walk around and buy a few bottles, you can put it on the shelf to recharge. Besides, I want to drink it too."

Ye Feng drove, and Lu Yingjiu sat in the co-pilot.

Ye Feng drove slowly, and Lu Yingjiu also slowly made up his sleep.

In summer, the temperature is high, and the air conditioner in the car is blowing only to barely suppress the heat. When hand touches the glass, can still feel the heat wave outside.

While waiting for the red light, Lu Yingjiu subconsciously rubbed the longevity lock pendant.

It was still so cold, and the mountains and seas on the top were magnificent. Lu Yingjiu stroked the lines with his fingertips. He remembered everything clearly, and he probably would never forget it in his life.

When they got there, they went to convenience stores and nearby supermarkets to buy a few bottles of cheap wine.

After buying it, took the bag and found a Japanese ramen shop nearby.

The store is not big, the lights are warm and yellow, and a few office workers are tired and nestled in the corner. Ye Feng ordered the tonkotsu ramen, the thickly sliced ​​pork had the aroma of the soup, and the bamboo shoots were crispy. Lu Yingjiu ordered pork chop omurice, the rice was golden brown with egg wash.

When eating, Ye Feng devoured it, while Lu Yingjiu took it slow-he was actually not that interested in eating, as long as he was full.

Lu Yingjiu said, "I seem to have forgotten to buy eggs and milk."

"Would you like to go back to the supermarket again?"

"Forget it, it's too late to buy it tomorrow."

"Yes." Ye Feng said, hesitating for a few seconds, "The day after tomorrow, I should go back to accept the commission."

When he said this, he was a little guilty.

Lu Yingjiu's office is short of people... To be precise, there is no one, only Lu Yingjiu has a bare commander, although this commander can be worth ten. But anyway, with their friendship, he should join Lu Yingjiu.

But the Green Lantern Festival is the first on the road, with a wide network of contacts, a lot of good commissions, and extremely handsome rewards. An ordinary ghost exorcist like him is also a member of the social animal in essence, and also has to pay off the mortgage while losing his hair. So he despised the current Green Lantern Festival, but he did not have the freedom of Lu Yingjiu to leave.

For the past few days, he has been thinking about how he should answer if Lu Yingjiu asks him if he wants to stay in the office.

Lu Yingjiu picked up a piece of pork chop and said, "Well. You can actually go tomorrow. I have nothing to help." He smiled, "Thank you these days."

"We still talk like this." Ye Feng also smiled.

He didn't know if he was relieved or a little disappointed.

After eating the crispy takoyaki, Ye Feng said, "I'll treat you to this meal."

"Why?" Lu Yingjiu looked at him.

Ye Feng raised his beer mug: "I wish you a great opening."

On the way back, opened the car window, and the night wind came in.

The foot bath hall under the bar is open, with bright lights, and a circle of flashing lights next to the price list. Lu Yingjiu and Ye Feng carried the wine to the second floor, and they were all placed on the wine cabinet in a neat row.

Ye Feng was greedy, opened the can and squeezed it. Lu Yingjiu sat next to him and focused on the APP on his phone.

The app is called "Two Faced Buddha", and the icon is a half-crying half-smile mask.

Clicking into it is an ordinary forum page, all of which are related to supernatural beings.

[Tell me about my horror night at the police academy back then]

【Ask everyone! Did I hit a ghost? 】

[Can the peach wood sword ward off evil spirits? I just smashed the grade director with it, need an explanation urgently]

——On the surface, "Two Faced Buddha" is a very popular supernatural forum, and countless people have posted their own bizarre experiences.

But this APP was created for ghost exorcists. People with a keen sense of smell can naturally judge whether there are ghosts or not when they see supernatural posts. In addition, countless ghost exorcists are exchanging information and accepting commissions.

"What have you been watching today?" Ye Feng took a sip of beer, "Is there a commission you want to take?"

"I'm not looking at the commission." Lu Yingjiu said, "The APP launched the live broadcast function three months ago, which is a separate panel from the forum."

Ye Feng felt that it was rare: "So you can see this kind of thing too."

Lu Yingjiu: "I'm thinking, do you want to do live broadcasts as well."

"What is the live broadcast? Your cat is still eating and broadcasting? Oh, don't say it, it must be very promising to engage in eating and broadcasting. There are a lot of people watching your face." Ye Feng touched his chin, "So saying that. , are you really not considering debuting?"

"If you don't think about it, if you can't sing and dance, if they dare to let me on stage, I will dare to tell them ghost stories one by one." Lu Yingjiu said, "I think about the live broadcast of spirituality."

Ye Feng: "?"

Lu Yingjiu opened a live broadcast room: "I've been watching different supernatural live broadcasts these days, some are just gimmicks, and some are our peers."

The anchor is exploring in an old house.

The curtains were automatic without wind, the wooden door made a creaking sound, and the barrage kept drifting past.

Ye Feng saw that at the end of the stairs in the attic stood a ghost in white.

[Brothers put fear on the public screen! 】

[Ah, ah, the anchor, say a few more words]

[This ghost is more fierce than I have ever seen! 】

[The public screens beat the brothers to fear! 】

"Spiritual live streaming has just started, and now is the period of explosive growth in traffic. It is very wise for 'Two Faced Buddha' to expand its business in this way." Lu Yingjiu said, "I don't really want to go live, just say on many occasions' I'm a spirit detective anchor', which is much more convenient than 'I'm a ghost exorcist'."

All he wants is an identity, it doesn't matter whether it is live or not.

If you say that you can exorcise ghosts, it is easy to be driven away by people who are regarded as gods or liars. But the anchor is different. It is normal to inquire about and investigate supernatural events for traffic, and it is easier to pry open the mouths of others. A small firm like him is not famous and needs such an identity even more.

Ye Feng thought about it for a while: "I think it makes sense, you can try it. In case you have a whim, and you do live broadcast once or twice, it just happens to be able to promote the firm. But applying for a live broadcast room is a problem, after all, you are very close to the two-faced Buddha. Many people have festivals, and I don't know if the normal application will work... Hey, wait! It's Tang Baishan who is in charge of this." His eyes lit up, "Doesn't he owe you a favor? It can definitely be done."

Lu Yingjiu said, "Not necessarily."

"Why not. If it weren't for you, how could he live to this day? If you really want to do it, we can make an appointment with him." Ye Feng became more and more excited, "Listen to me, I will be with you tomorrow. go."

He said nothing that Lu Yingjiu could refuse.

They picked up the trash at night.

Ye Feng put on her shoes and was about to go home: "Give me all the garbage, and I'll throw it away together when I go downstairs."

Lu Yingjiu handed him two bags of garbage. Ye Feng opened the door and snorted.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yingjiu asked.

Ye Feng said, "Did you just buy egg milk? It was delivered."

"No."

"There are eggs and two boxes of milk at the door. Let me see... Whole-fat and non-fat are good brands. Did you buy it and forget it? Oh wait, there's another box!" Ye Feng bent down to look, "It seems It's a kettle. It's not a coincidence, isn't your kettle just broken."

"Maybe the neighbor bought it and sent it wrong." Lu Yingjiu walked to the door and glanced at it, the package was tightly packed.

Ye Feng muttered: "How can there be such a coincidence. We just said it when we were eating, and this was brought here, and it also brought the hot water bottle you are thinking about. You must have forgotten it yourself. I will bring it in for you first."

Lu Yingjiu frowned slightly: "I really didn't buy it."

"I don't care, I have to catch the last train." Ye Feng put those things in, "If you are worried, keep it and ask your neighbors tomorrow."

Ye Feng took the garbage and left.

Lu Yingjiu looked out the window and saw him getting on the bus.

He put the eggs and milk in the refrigerator, and put the box in the corner, thinking, let's go out and ask tomorrow.

But this is indeed a coincidence, what comes is what he lacks.

...

Tang Baishan used to be the operator of "Red Fox Live", but now he has moved to work at the two-faced Buddha and is in charge of the live broadcast sector.

He's hit ghosts before. That ghost was so vicious that he couldn't sleep at night and almost lost his life.

The Green Lantern Society helped him solve it.

The commission was very arduous, and it was Lu Yingjiu who came forward at that time—it was his fault, he was bold and careful, and he was not afraid of death, so he forced the ghost to leave his hometown, or Tang Baishan would have to lose half of his life if he didn’t die. .

Tang Baishan once said that Lu Yingjiu was his great benefactor.

So Ye Feng felt that he would definitely help Lu Yingjiu.

At least, before today.

In the office, Tang Baishan took a sip from the coffee cup, wondering, "I'm really in charge of the live broadcast..."

Ye Feng asked, "Are there any other questions?"

Tang Baishan put down the cup and leaned forward: "Actually, the live broadcast has only been launched for less than three months. There is no relevant experience in 'Two Faced Buddha' before, and many mechanisms are in the trial operation stage and need to be adjusted. If Mr. Lu is coming on behalf of the Green Lantern Festival Yes, of course that's fine. But you see now, your office has just been established, and you haven't even taken over the entrustment..."

Ye Feng said: "Just opened, don't you just need more anchors?"

Tang Baishan smiled apologetically: "It's not like that. After all, our platform is of a special nature, and the quality must be strictly controlled, otherwise I will also be held accountable. In this way, Mr. Lu, you apply first, and I will try to review it for you as soon as possible. , but there’s really no guarantee of success.”

This attitude made it clear that he did not want to help.

Ye Feng wanted to speak, but Lu Yingjiu interrupted him and smiled: "Okay." He stood up, "Let's go back to the office first."

"Okay, okay." Tang Baishan also stood up and sent them to the door, "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry."

Outside the office, the sun is shining brightly.

Ye Feng muttered: "This person is unreliable. He said it so firmly at the time, and now he is unwilling to help with such a small task."

"It's okay." Lu Yingjiu said, "Don't force it."

Ye Feng was still a little angry, he didn't care at all.

When the taxi came, Ye Feng said, "Then I'd better go to the meeting first."

"it is good."

Lu Yingjiu went back downstairs to the office, and only when he entered the room did he remember yesterday's milk and eggs.

There are not many people who can be called "neighbors" in the vicinity. There are three businesses next to them, a pedicure shop, a real estate agent and a dental clinic, all of which are open now. Lu Yingjiu went to ask them one by one.

The beautiful receptionist of the foot spa said: "We stipulate that express delivery cannot be delivered to the store. Compared with this, the handsome guy adds a WeChat?"

The bald uncle in real estate said, "How could I buy such a thing."

The young man at the clinic said, "It's not me, sir, do you want a card?"

Anyway no one admits it.

Lu Yingjiu went back, opened the refrigerator and looked again.

The production dates of eggs and milk are very close, and the quality is fresh, but there is no receipt, even if it is sealed. He didn't unpack the hot water bottle, but left it in the corner.

He thought, or let it sit for a few more days, maybe a buyer will be found.

...

In the office, Tang Baishan was talking on the phone with a smile on his face.

"That's right, he's gone now. I'll follow up on his application later and won't let him pass."

"What kind of malicious suppression is this? If I offend you, I have to stop it. I have already explained this to the staff. With me here, he will definitely not want to broadcast it here."

"Don't worry, don't worry, his office can't be done."

After hanging up the phone, Tang Baishan let out a long sigh.

It was getting late, and the surrounding employees had already left.

He tidied up the office, turned off the lights and locked the door, only to find that the elevator was broken in the corridor.

It's level 19 here and it's annoying. He cursed in a low voice and walked towards the end of the stairs.

The lights in the corridor were also broken, it was pitch black, and couldn't see anything clearly. He illuminated it with his mobile phone and walked down in circles, inexplicably feeling that the stairs were deep and terrifying, as if there was never an end.

One minute, two minutes, five minutes...

The sound of empty footsteps echoed, he lacked exercise, his breathing gradually became heavier, and he tugged at his tie irritably.

Why hasn't it arrived yet?

Is this staircase that long?

After turning another floor, Tang Baishan stood still, panting and shining the light of his phone upwards.

On the top of the emergency door, "19th floor" is written.
