Chapter 4 Chu Banyang

Tang Baishan panicked.

He went down so many layers, how could he still be in the same place!

His heart was beating so fast, he almost panicked and ran downstairs.

Layer by layer, his breathing became heavier and heavier. Sometimes he would stumble when he ran in a hurry, and fell in a state of embarrassment, rubbing the skin on his hands. The light of the mobile phone flashed across the corridor, and the sign of "19th floor" lingered, and no matter how hard you tried, the stair door could not be opened.

19th floor 19th floor 19th floor...

Why is it still on the 19th floor? !

He stumbled down another layer, his lungs were about to burst, and the smell of blood rolled in his throat.

He barely stopped and took a deep breath.

call

Tang Baishan calmed down a little, turned on his mobile phone with his back against the wall, and made a call with trembling.

Must, must be connected!

Cheerful music rang in my ears, and after a few seconds, a familiar female voice came: "Hello?"

"Sister Li!" Tang Baishan almost shouted, "Where are you! I hit a ghost in the company!"

"I haven't gone home yet, where are you?" The other party's tone immediately became serious.

"19th floor! I'm trapped in the stairs on the 19th floor! The ghost hit the wall!"

"I'll be right here, you stay where you are." The voice of high heels came, "Don't hang up."

Tang Baishan leaned against the wall and swallowed his saliva. His hands were shaking so badly that his phone was covered in sweat. light in the narrow

space

It swayed like a ghost, and the heartbeat sounded like a drum.

His hands were clawing at the wall, and the cracks between his fingernails were full of ash.

I don't know how long it took, maybe two minutes, maybe 20 minutes, when the crisp sound of high heels came from outside the stairs.

Tang Baishan immediately shouted loudly: "I'm here! I'm here!!"

The high heels stopped at the top of the stairs.

Two seconds later, the door was slammed open, and light poured in.

The young woman with a high ponytail walked in quickly with a few talismans, her high heels rattling. She grabbed Tang Baishan: "Come on."

Tang Baishan's legs softened, barely following her pace.

They walked all the way to the elevator, which turned out to be in normal operation. As soon as the door opened, Tang Baishan rushed in, holding on to the first floor desperately.

The elevator door slowly closed.

Sister Li said, "How long have you been there?"

"...I don't know." Tang Baishan was still in shock.

"It's very strange." The woman curled her hair. "We have set up many layers of barriers here. It's hard to imagine that ghosts can come in. We'll have to investigate it later."

Tang Baishan just shook his head, pulling off his tie and gasping for breath.

When he raised his eyes by chance, he stopped abruptly.

Sister Li dressed up beautifully today, sprayed some perfume, styled her hair, sparkled crane earrings, and her fingers were like green onions. And above her head, a bright number——

19.

The elevator didn't go down at all.

"Sister Lilili." His voice trembled violently, "The elevator hasn't moved."

"Really?" Sister Li looked up, "Oh, maybe that ghost is still there."

"Where, where?"

"I don't know, think of a way to try it out."

"Then you think so!"

"But wouldn't it be nice if we both stayed on the 19th floor forever?"

"……what?"

The woman's body did not change, but her head turned 180 degrees, her eyes were all white, and she smiled: "I quite like this figure."

...

Lu Yingjiu brought the cow and cat to the office.

Milk arrived in a new environment, lay lazily on the windowsill, suddenly raised her head, and meowed outside.

Lu Yingjiu looked over and saw Ye Feng's little Honda. He was trying to park, stopped several times before getting in, and almost rubbed the chassis.

Ye Feng got off the car and disappeared at the entrance of the stairs.

A few seconds later, there was a knock on the door.

Lu Yingjiu went over to open the door and said, "Ye Feng, you really bought your driver's license, right?"

"Fuck!" Ye Feng scolded, "Are you having trouble with this one? Let me in, I have something to tell you."

Ye Feng entered the room, sat on the sofa and poured a large glass of water before continuing: "Something happened in Tang Baishan."

"What's up?"

"He hit a ghost." Ye Feng pointed to his shoulder, "Here, a small piece of flesh was bitten off by the ghost on his shoulder, and it looked painful. After that, he kept having nightmares, and the Green Lantern Festival visited several people. Not resolved."

Lu Yingjiu also took a glass of ice water, raised his head and took a sip.

The ice cubes floated up and down, and there were small water droplets on the cup. He gently stroked a few of them with his slender fingers, and the coolness soaked through his fingertips.

He said: "There are a lot of barriers in that building. Ordinary ghosts can't get in. Tang Baishan was only slightly injured... A ghost with that kind of power, it's too easy to kill someone directly."

Ye Feng hesitated for a few seconds: "Are you going to help him? To be honest, I think he's quite an asshole, but after helping this time, we can also improve the conditions for the live broadcast. It's a big deal and we won't communicate with him in the future."

Lu Yingjiu didn't answer him directly, swiped on the phone a few times, took out a page, and said, "This is my live broadcast application, and it was rejected within two hours of submitting it."

"So fast," Ye Feng frowned, "It was Tang Baishan who did it. Damn it, he really is a piece of shit."

"So we have to wait for the dog to find him." Lu Yingjiu folded his hands and showed a smile, "To be honest, I am very interested in that ghost, but I can't be in such a hurry. I won’t be able to hold it for a few days, so I’ll talk to him about the conditions then, okay?”

Ye Feng said with awe: "You are still cruel enough."

The matter was settled, he wiped the sweat from his face and wanted to find a bottle of drinks.

As soon as he opened the refrigerator door, he saw milk and eggs and asked, "Why, you haven't found who sent it?"

"No."

Ye Feng muttered: "This person is too big-hearted, and he can fill in the wrong address. I think you can eat it, don't waste it."

"Wait a minute," Lu Yingjiu said, "after all, it's something from unknown origin."

Ye Feng said: "What if

crush

Your people sent it, it was rejected by you, how sad. "

Lu Yingjiu smiled: "How can there be such a person."

Ye Fengxin said, then you haven't seen the group of people in the meeting who have a crush on you, and they keep talking about how beautiful Chief Lu is every day.

After two days, Lu Yingjiu was not in a hurry.

At noon on the third day, he turned on his mobile phone and saw the WeChat message from Tang Baishan.

[Mr. Lu, I really have no choice, so I thought of coming to you...]

Lu Yingjiu turned off the screen, bent over, and put on pure white sneakers.

After driving all the way, you can see the new office building of "TWO -SIDED BUDDHA", which serves the live broadcast sector. The mask icon with a half -sided smile is on the top floor.

On the surface, "TWO -SIDED BUDDHA" is a group with strong financial resources. It secretly and coordinated different exorcists, so that they would not scatter the sand. In a sense, it is more like an informal league league, and the blue light will be the main force of them.

Lu Yingjiu looked out the car window, half of the glass of the building reflected the sunny sky, and half of it was shining.

He covered it with his hands.

The car was parked in the parking lot, he and Ye Feng got off the car and found Tang Baishan.

Tang Baishan is still working reluctantly these days, but the office has been moved to the first floor of the adjacent building.

He never dared to touch stairs and elevators again.

When Lu Yingjiu came, two ghost exorcists were beside him.

Tang Baishan was covered in sweat and his eyes were black like a panda, arguing with them: "It's useless! I will never go back to the 19th floor!"

A ghost exorcist said, "Just go back again and find out why you are being targeted by ghosts."

"I've been there twice!"

Another exorcist said: "This time the evil spirits are very strange, and the time taken is really unexpected. After all, this is a newly built building, and the barrier has been strengthened."

"You have no clue at all!" Tang Baishan said excitedly, and suddenly "hiss" again, subconsciously covering his injured shoulder.

During the debate, Tang Baishan saw Lu Yingjiu, and immediately his eyes lit up: "Mr. Lu!"

The expressions of the two changed, and they were quite embarrassed.

Lu Yingjiu glanced at them, had a little impression of their faces, but couldn't remember their names.

But he did, perplexed for a few seconds.

Behind Tang Baishan was a kid with a blue face and fangs, and the two of them didn't see it at all—it was as if the kid didn't want to avoid Lu Yingjiu at all.

It probed its head and looked at Lu Yingjiu, a strange expression appeared on its ugly face.

a little nervous.

But not fear.

Lu Yingjiu looked at it, it moved a little uneasy, and its sharp claws carefully took out something, trying hard to hand it to Lu Yingjiu.

A small flower in the underworld floated in the air, bright red.

Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

He didn't understand at all why this kid wanted to show his favor, so he didn't pick it up, and said calmly, "What's the situation now?"

One person said angrily: "Mr. Tang said that he can't remember who he has offended. Initial judgment, it may be a ghost who jumped off the building, or it may be an accidental death in the elevator, and there is nowhere to vent his grievances."

"There have been no murders during the construction of this building." Lu Yingjiu said, "Not even disputes."

"This used to be a village in the city, it may be something that happened in the past."

"It's not. Before the foundation was built, a spell was used to clear the grievances once."

Another person said: "How can you be so sure? Maybe it was an omission at the time."

Lu Yingjiu said, "Impossible, I was in charge at that time."

Two ghost exorcists: "..."

They really didn't dare to question what Lu Yingjiu did.

So no one dared to say anything, Lu Yingjiu sat on the sofa and listened to Tang Baishan describe his nightmare.

The plot is simple: the stagnant elevator, the inescapable 19th floor, the sound of women's high heels echoing in the empty corridor.

Tang Baishan was trapped in this dream for seven days, and he was about to collapse. He was so scared that he deleted Sister Li's contact information. If he didn't raise his heels, he was scared when he saw a stilt on TV.

Lu Yingjiu said, "I'll go to the 19th floor first." He glanced at Tang Baishan, "Just stay here."

He didn't believe that just such a kid could break into the barrier, and there must be a messenger behind him.

So, he still has to go and see for himself.

Tang Baishan nodded again and again, and Ye Feng stayed here and continued to ask for more details.

Lu Yingjiu went to the corridor and pressed the elevator.

Just as the elevator door was about to close, an exorcist hurried in just now, blocked the door, and came in as well.

His face was immature, and he looked less than 20, saying, "Brother Lu, I also go up and see again. We have seen it before, you can call me LITTLE Li." He paused, " When you came over to talk about the live broadcast that day, I was there. "

When we got to the 19th floor, it was empty. It is said that this floor is deworming.

This is the usual trick of exorcists.

Every year, when you reach the Ghost Festival, ghosts are rampant, and a lot of places in the city will start to "remove insects" or "eliminate". The drama in this floor is indeed fully done. The large bag of cockroach medicine ant medicine is piled in the corner, and there are various equipment removal equipment. Little li passed, and coughed when the spray smell was smelled.

Lu Yingjiu started from Tang Baishan's office and went all the way to the corridor and emergency stairs.

Little Li coughed, and asked carefully behind him, "Did you find something?" He was so nervous that he was a little trembling, and added, "We checked here many times, there is no resentment."

Lu Yingjiu didn't say a few words along the way, and even smiled at him a few times, his eyebrows were really gentle and handsome. But he was inexplicably afraid of Lu Yingjiu, maybe because Lu Yingjiu used to be the chief, or because Lu Yingjiu had an inexplicable sense of alienation, making it impossible for people to get close.

Lu Yingjiu shook his head: "Go back to the elevator and have a look."

The elevator door closed, and stopped in place because the floor was not pressed down.

Lu Yingjiu stood silently, facing the elevator door.

Little Li didn't see it, and there was a touch of red light in his eyes.

Many ghost exorcist families have ghosts and gods who have formed bonds.

Divine beasts, beasts, and priests of the underworld.

For example, the Ye family made a pact with Li Snake and was guarded for generations. The Chu family hooked up with the Peacock God, and it has been smooth sailing since then.

For so many years, Lu family has come out of Lu Yingjiu a ghost master.

So he started from scratch, and the objects of the contract were all picked up in the trash cans on the roadside.

Now, Lu Yingjiu summoned it.

At the top of the elevator, a small furry black beast appeared out of thin air.

It had four short horns on its head and was very small, but it weighed down the elevator. Looking up, the dark and empty elevator shaft was reflected in its silver-gray pupils.

Little Li swallowed a sip: "Mr. Lu, what are you doing? How do I think, the elevator seems to sink a bit?"

"Really." Lu Yingjiu said casually, "Maybe there is someone on the elevator."

At his will, the black hairball quickly looked around.

No abnormality was found.

Not even the slightest resentment.

This is a very special case.

Lu Yingjiu lowered her eyes slightly.

When he turned back, he found that Little Li was restless and kept looking up on the elevator. He pressed the first floor, the elevator began to decline, and Little Li shook it.

"Mr. Lu Lu Lu," his voice tightened, "if it's a ghost, we can't feel it now, doesn't it mean it's very powerful?"

"yes."

"Then why didn't you respond..."

Lu Yingjiu scratched his chin and said, "Little li, don't you feel a little strange."

"What, what?"

"Tang Baishan said that he didn't offend anyone, but according to experience, this kind of ghost is usually a ghost who comes back to seek revenge."

"yes."

"He started having nightmares seven days ago. Can you remember what happened that day?"

"That day ... Nothing that day." Little Li tried to recall, "Isn't it that you and Mr. Ye came once."

"Then my live broadcast application was rejected, and Tang Baishan didn't help."

"Ah... ah?"

Lu Yingjiu turned back and smiled and bent her peach eyes: "Do you still think he didn't offend anyone?"

The elevator descends slowly.

Little li looked at him stunned.

The elevator sank slightly again—and then several more times, as if someone were walking on the elevator! Take a closer look at Lu Yingjiu, the impeccable good-looking skin, the corners of his mouth are hooked, and there is a looming red light in his eyes!

The elevator slowly decreased, and the number of floors jumped down one by one. Little Li dare not pant at the atmosphere. Half the steps back in the back, and the back was on the wall.

"What do you want to do!" he stammered, "I have talisman paper in my hand! A lot of talisman paper!!"

He splashed the talisman paper in the air, flying like snowflakes.

Lu Yingjiu was unmoved.

Little li was even more scared.

The first floor has arrived.

The Yin Soldier disappeared out of thin air, and the elevator door opened. There was a man standing outside, about his age, wearing a clean white shirt, looking closely, from the watch to the leather shoes, they were all big brands, like a son with a mine at home.

He followed two or three ghosts behind him, and saw Lu Yingjiu at a glance, and there were Little Li who shivered in the corner of the elevator, shivering, and frowned: "What are you going to?"

Little li saw him clearly, and the tears almost fell out: "Master! I work hard!

With the courage of the master, he suddenly had the courage, and after running out of the elevator, there was not even a shadow left.

After joining the Little Li, Lu Yingjiu was in a good mood, and walked out of the elevator and looked at Chu Banyang.

Auspicious cloud collar button is pinned to the snow-white neckline.

The logo of the chief of the Green Lantern Festival that he just took off not long ago.

Chu Banyang came from a family of exorcising ghosts. It is said that people from aristocratic families have their own deterrent temperament, and he is the best among them. Going to this station, he is born with a model face, young and handsome, with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and the cold air seems to retreat three points.

It's a pity that he and Lu Yingjiu have always been at odds with each other.

After all, Lu Yingjiu overwhelmed him with everything. If he hadn't been there from the beginning, Chu Banyang would have been the chief.

Chu Banyang asked, "What did you tell him?"

"Scare him." Lu Yingjiu Shi Shiran said, "Your apprentice is so cute, I believe it."

Chu Banyang frowned: "Lu Yingjiu, you are still as naive as before."

Lu Yingjiu smiled at him and walked towards Tang Baishan.

Chu Banyang was half a position behind him and felt wrong.

——In the past few years, Lu Yingjiu was ahead of him, but now his identity has changed, Lu Yingjiu is under serious investigation, has no position, opened a firm that could close at any time, and he is the chief of the Green Lantern Festival. It stands to reason that Lu Yingjiu should follow him in a regular manner and ask for some good commissions.

In the end, this is still the scene!

Chu Banyang almost gritted his teeth: "You haven't commissioned your office yet? Would you like me to introduce you..."

"No need." Lu Yingjiu said, "Thank you, second place."

Chu Banyang almost didn't catch his breath.

Little Li, who had just ran away, sneaked back and came back, following Chu Banyang.

His master and the chief relationship of the road are not in harmony, he knows. Now Little Li is so careful that he is afraid that he will die under the fire of the two big men -he estimates that the ashes will not be left.

However, people should not escape!

Especially as he is an excellent ghost exorcist!

Little Li just held the mentality of "I don't go to hell to hell", and be careful to observe.

Sure enough, Chu Banyang's face was as gloomy as a dark cloud along the way, staring at Lu Yingjiu.

After so many years, all he could see was Lu Yingjiu's back.

But staring at him, his frowning brow slowly calmed down, as if it was slowly smoothed out by a pair of hands.

I'm afraid even Chu Banyang himself didn't realize—

The corners of his mouth evoked a very shallow smile.

That smile came from the heart, as if seeing something that had been pursuing all life, and was fascinated by it, almost... gentle? ?

Xiao Li's eyes widened, the world collapsed. As a result, Chu Banyang turned around and said, "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing," Little li said, "Nothing, that is, I'm thinking, what are you laughing in Master?"

"Am I laughing?" Chu Banyang frowned, "What's so funny here, is it possible that I can laugh at that guy Lu Yingjiu? What nonsense are you talking about, go back and copy the book for me immediately."

Little li:? Intersection Intersection

The author has something to say:

Ghost King: No eggs or milk, do you like sending fafa!

Lu Yingjiu: Indifference.jpg, this must be a ghost conspiracy
