Chapter 6 Lengxiang

16 hours ago, Meihua Community.

A new hot pot restaurant has opened in the community. It is open 24 hours a day. The taste is good and the price is low. It takes an hour or two to wait for a table. Zhao Hu took a few brothers to sit outside, drinking some wine and simmering some beef and mutton, duck intestines and brain flowers, and before he knew it, it was early in the morning.

The brothers were all slightly drunk, and their faces and necks were red.

Zhao Hu was not full, so he beckoned and called the waiter: "Alas, you are a good brain, hiccup, give me another plate."

The waiter responded and turned back to the store.

Just as Zhao Hu was about to light a cigarette, the brother next to him said with a big tongue: "Hu, Brother Hu, your alcohol intake today is really not good."

"You're the only one who talks too much." Zhao Hu smiled and slapped him, "Come on, let's fill it up again! Whoever doesn't finish drinking will have a grandson!"

After another round of drinking, he got even more drunk, leaning against the back of his chair and saying weird things. Zhao Hu's drinking capacity was good, and with his drunken eyes hazy, he remembered that the dish of brain flowers hadn't been served yet.

——The waiter specified that he forgot.

He scolded in a low voice, waved his hand vigorously, and scolded when he caught one person: "Where's the dish?! Why hasn't my brain flowered yet!"

The passerby said inexplicably, "I'm not a waiter."

Zhao Hu was even more angry: "Then you don't hurry up and become a waiter! If you are not a waiter, will the brain flower fall from the sky?!"

boom! !

Suddenly there was a loud bang.

Zhao Hu didn't react when he heard the screams of the people next to him! !

He had never heard such a terrifying scream before, and the wine woke up half of the time. When he turned around, the table collapsed, the hot pot was overturned, and a body lay upright in the middle, red and white spread out, blood with brain flowers Covered the table.

Zhao Hu: "..."

...

Chu Banyang put down the phone, propped his head up, and said while holding back his drunkenness: "There is an accident in Meihua Community, I want to go there. You guys eat slowly."

His eyes still drifted to the diamond ring on the table.

As soon as Lu Yingjiu was about to speak, he saw Little Li skillfully took out a rune paper and patted his master's head.

The effect is immediate.

The blush on Chu Banyang's face disappeared immediately, and he was sober. The blankness in his eyes receded, stagnated for a few seconds, and his brain restarted.

The ears are still red.

——That is obviously not the effect of alcohol.

"Meihua District ..." Little Li murmured, "I remember before, there were several tramps nearby nearby, and they were also news. Why is it all?

Lu Yingjiu stopped Chu Banyang: "Let's go over together."

It was definitely not easy to be able to specifically notify Chu Banyang of the incident.

Chu Banyang looked at Lu Yingjiu and said calmly, "Why do you want to go with me? I don't need your help."

Well, the usual Chu Banyang is back.

"Okay," Lu Yingjiu said, "then I won't go."

Hearing this, Chu Banyang's face showed three-pointed arrogance, three-pointed arrogance, and three-pointed unbearable curiosity-a full twelve points of emotion made that handsome face like a sculpture to some extent appear. ... a little tangled.

After a few seconds, he said proudly: "If you really want to go, I won't stop you."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He ignored Chu Banyang's awkwardness and asked again, "You didn't notice the diamond ring just now, did you?"

Chu Banyang asked strangely, "What kind of diamond ring?"

Looking at it like that, he probably doesn't remember what nonsense he said just now.

Yep.

Otherwise, with his thin skin, it is estimated that he will remember it for a lifetime, and the kind that is automatically played back every night in the middle of the night.

Lu Yingjiu showed him the diamond ring again, Chu Banyang looked at it for a while: "Isn't it just an ordinary diamond ring, and it has no yin. Why do you still carry the diamond ring with you when you go out?" His expression was a little complicated, "… ... to propose?"

"No. It's hard to say. I'll explain it to you later when I have a chance."

Chu Banyang was hesitant to say anything, and wanted to reach out to get the diamond ring, and carefully study if there was any problem, but just reached out—

clatter!

There was a slight noise, but the velvet diamond ring box closed tightly.

If it wasn't for Chu Banyang's quick reaction, his fingers would have been pinched. Judging from the box's aura, he was determined and angry, as if he could pinch off his phalanx.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Chu Banyang: "..."

Lu Yingjiu said, "Look, so I can't say enough."

Ye Feng and Xiao Li next to them didn't pay attention to it at all.

When buying the bill of walking, Little Li came over again, "Master, what are you talking about imported milk powder just now? My aunt just gave birth to a child and was about to buy it."

"...Imported milk powder?" Chu Banyang reluctantly took his mind off the diamond ring and glanced at him inexplicably, "What milk powder, how could I possibly mention milk powder. You can listen to your master's speech, but you are too inattentive. Go back and copy the book."

Little li:? Intersection Intersection

Chu Banyang drove here, and the black Bentley was parked on the street.

Five minutes later, the four stood beside the car and looked at each other.

Chu Banyang said, "I've been drinking."

Lu Yingjiu: "Me too."

Little Li said, "I drank two or three sips ... it should not work."

The eyes of the three fell on Ye Feng.

Ye Feng: "Ah... I only got my driver's license for two days, so parking is difficult. Do you really want me to drive?"

Chu Banyang said, "You won't be asked to give me money if you rub it against it. This is the cheapest car in my family, and it's meant to be hit by people when you buy it."

Little li said, "Brother Ye Feng, you have a driver's license, it means you have the ability, really don't have to tangled."

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He had a bad premonition.

They got into the car, Ye Feng fastened his seat belt, and held the steering wheel with a guilty conscience.

He was really scared.

Lu Yingjiu and Chu Banyang, not to mention the whole country, are at least half of the ghost exorcists south of the Huai River.

Now he is very afraid that he will hit Jiangshan.

Chu Banyang said in the back seat: "On the 18th, that is, yesterday, someone in the community called the police and reported that there was a falling sound at two o'clock in the morning, almost hitting a table of customers eating hot pot. We have to hurry...

boom! !

Everyone leaned forward, and Little Li's head was fiercely in front of the front, dizzy.

Looking up again, a van was in the middle of the road.

Half of the country in the exorcism world finally hit it directly, knocking out a depression for the boss.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Chu Banyang: "..."

Five minutes later, Ye Feng decided to stay alone and wait for the traffic police, while the other three took a taxi.

Chu Banyang simply said the case in the car. Little Li nodded the place next to him, and he didn't hear Lu Yingjiu's voice for a long time.

When he turned his head, he saw Lu Yingjiu tilting his head towards the window, and only saw the beautiful jawline and a slender neck at the neckline.

I didn't sleep well, so started to sleep again.

Little Li also looked at it, and suddenly heard Chu Banyang ask: "What are you looking at?"

"Nothing," Little li said, "Master, you continue to say! I'm listening seriously!"

"Go back and copy the book a few more times." Chu Banyang said lightly.

The taxi carried Little Li's mourning. Mercedes -Benz was on the road, all the way, and the last sudden brake stopped at the door of the Meihua Community.

The red and blue police lights were flashing, several police cars blocked the gate of the community, and a few policemen were still in the community, evacuating the rest of the people.

So there were a lot of people at the front gate of the community, blocking the water. In the hot summer, people get excited, and their heads are covered with fine beads of sweat. The old man in the singlet, the aunt in the flower shirt, the young man with a fiery face... Looking around at the dark and cloudy area, it was hot, and the smell of sweat permeated the air.

"Why did you kick me out?!"

"What the hell is going on now! I want to complain!"

"Did no one fucking explain the situation?"

"I'm going home and breaking the law?"

Lu Yingjiu took a quick glance at the scene, this time the news was blocked tightly, and the reporter didn't squeeze in like a fly smelling stinky meat, otherwise it would give him a headache.

A few of them stepped forward.

When the police saw them approaching, they hurriedly said: "The community is blocked, and irrelevant people should not approach!"

Chu Banyang took out a black leather certificate and showed it to them—the Green Lantern Society and the police have long cooperated. In the past two years, the police have just set up a special department to deal with ghost exorcists. When they meet a supernatural event, say hello, and the people in the meeting will be unimpeded.

When the policeman saw it, he let out a long sigh: "You are finally here." He turned around and shouted, "Old Liu! Someone is here!"

He stepped aside to step aside and opened the iron gate of the community. In the community, an old policeman greeted him, and the back of his blue uniform was completely wet with sweat.

He lifted his hat to breathe, wiped his sweat again, and said, "Come with me, just call me Lao Liu."

Lu Yingjiu followed Lao Liu and looked around as he walked through the community.

It is a very ordinary community structure, with a small garden in the center, and most people have been evacuated from the community. The police are still very cautious when confronted with such nasty paranormal events.

Lao Liu led them all the way into a small road, passed through the gap between the buildings, and came to the very corner of the community. There is a small open space, just opened a hot pot restaurant, and there are a few round tables around.

Before he got close, Lu Yingjiu smelled a stench.

Like rotten eggs that have been laid for three days in midsummer, but more disgusting than that. Flies were buzzing around. Several police officers and forensic doctors stood at the scene, and the yellow warning strip was drawn in a large circle.

Lu Yingjiu walked over, and in the middle of the long grass, two corpses stood side by side, covered with white cloth.

Lu Yingjiu said, "Look at the corpse."

Lao Liu passed and revealed the white cloth. The odor in the air rolled, Little Li evolved, holding the wall.

Lu Yingjiu squatted down beside the corpse.

A man and a woman, wearing ordinary clothes.

The man jumped from the seventh floor of the top floor, his leg was broken, and Bai Sensen's bones were exposed. The female corpse was very intact, without trauma. She was lying on her back, her eyes were closed peacefully, her skin was delicate and her lips were rosy, as if she had just fallen into a deep sleep.

Lao Liu explained: "We received a call in the early hours of the morning, and when we came to the scene, there were only male bodies. Before we could deal with it, we first moved the table that he smashed, but in a blink of an eye, another girl lay beside him. You said that in this situation, who would dare to continue to deal with it?"

Lu Yingjiu said, "What is the situation of the two of them?"

Lao Liu said: "The male deceased was named Zhong Aiguo, a 35-year-old employee of an insurance company who had just resigned three days ago. We contacted friends and family members, and they all said that Zhong Aiguo had no intention of committing suicide. Female deceased Her name is Ji Cai, 28 years old, a former teacher," he hesitated for a few seconds, "She was confirmed dead a year ago."

Lu Yingjiu glanced at the body and asked, "What was the cause of death? Why wasn't her body cremated?"

"There was no autopsy result, and the cause of death could not be found." Lao Liu said, "there is no conclusion, and no one dared to burn her, so she was kept in the morgue. At that time, I suspected that it was a supernatural case, and invited a ghost exorcist to come over. , to no avail." He glanced at the female corpse again and shuddered, "She's here by herself now, so damn evil."

Lu Yingjiu carefully looked at the corpse.

There is no Yin Qi, no abnormality can be seen. Looking up again, the building around you is against the blue sky.

This is an old community. The walls of the buildings are peeling off, mottled in large pieces, and the security windows are full of reddish-brown rust. But the line of sight from the top floor is very good. If you watch the blue sky fall from above, you may feel like a bird for a moment.

Lu Yingjiu retracted his gaze and asked, "Which hospital's morgue is the woman's body in?"

Lao Liu replied, "The Second City Hospital."

"Go and check all the suicide cases in the city in the past eight months, and focus on those who have fallen and those who are close to the city's second hospital." Lu Yingjiu stood up, "There are too many people outside the community, tell them all to evacuate, don't Leave one person alone. Community monitoring will call us out."

Several more ghost exorcists from the Green Lantern Festival came over, and Chu Banyang arranged for them to paste runes on the scene.

10 minutes later, Lu Yingjiu was already sitting in the monitoring room of the community, with a notebook spread out on the table with snow-white pages.

On the screen, three days of footage is being played at 3x speed. The picture quality of the community monitoring is not good, staring at it for a long time really hurts the eyes. As the picture changed, his brown pupils trembled slightly, without any emotion, like cold amber, or some kind of feline preying.

Several policemen and security guards were behind him, each holding his breath, while Lao Liu was on the phone outside, applying for data on suicide cases—in fact, not everyone could easily command these people.

After all, ghost exorcists are just collaborators. There are inevitably ulterior motives, parallel imports, and ulterior motives... Therefore, many confidential documents will not be leaked to them at will. come.

This time, Lu Yingjiu was brought in by Chu Banyang, and several people assumed that he was also in the Green Lantern Festival—in fact, just a few days ago, he was indeed, still at the level of the boss...

Moreover, Lu Yingjiu went to that stop casually, but the sharpness between his brows could not be hidden, like a newly unsheathed knife with snow light.

That confidence is etched in the bones.

No one will question it.

Little Li just finished vomiting, his face was pale and scary.

He supported the wall in the corner and said weakly, "Brother Lu, has he always been so aura..."

"Yeah." Chu Banyang replied, "Since I've known him, he's still a bit worse than me."

Little li: "... uh uh um, Master, you are right."

Chu Banyang gouged out a look at him.

Little li: "Master, you are right !!"

The video is over.

Lu Yingjiu wrote a [9:15] in the notebook, drew a circle, and asked, "Does Zhong Aiguo have obsessive-compulsive disorder? For example, something must be done at a certain point in time."

The police replied: "His relatives and friends have not mentioned it."

The community security also shook his head and said, "I don't think so."

Lu Yingjiu tapped the pages of the book with the tip of his pen: "For the past three days, Zhong Aiguo arrived at the gate of the community at 9:15, started walking the dog at 9:45, and then appeared again at 10:10 to take out the garbage, every time The deviation is no more than half a minute. If you talk about this alone, it may be explained as a habit, but his previous behavior, such as going to work or going home at noon, is irregular. And you look at this action. "

He changed the monitoring screen to the door of ZHONG AIGUO's house.

The angle of the camera is just enough to illuminate the main entrance of Unit 3. This was the night two days ago, at 9:30, Zhong Aiguo was standing downstairs and making a phone call. Holding the phone in his left hand, he suddenly raised his right hand. He wanted to use his right hand to touch something beside his head, but he felt empty and put it down again.

He made the phone call for ten minutes, and the action repeated three or four times.

A policeman said, "What does he want to touch?" He felt cold hands and feet, "It can't be his shoulder, what the hell is he lying on."

"No." Lu Yingjiu shook his head, "Most ghosts are captured by cameras. Moreover, this is more of a habitual action."

"Get used to what?"

"Pick up your hair." Lu Yingjiu said, "Long hair."

"Zhong Aiguo took a new ID photo half a month ago with short hair, and his entry photo six months ago was also short hair."

"It's not Zhong Aiguo's long hair, it's not 'he'. That kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder-like routine is not 'he'." Lu Yingjiu put down the pen, "At that time, he was already covered by ghosts every night. "

The temperature seems to have dropped a little after this sentence.

Several people in the house looked at each other, a chill.

Lu Yingjiu folded her fingers loosely, leaned back on the chair, and said, "Has the data on suicide cases been released? I want to see if there is any connection between the victims."

"Lao Liu is still asking outside." The policeman said immediately, "I'll go out and ask."

He was about to push the door when it suddenly slammed open, almost hitting his nose.

Old Liu rushed in and said in a panic, "They sent me a photo!"

He turned his phone screen towards the crowd.

The photo was sent by a left-behind colleague, and it was a little blurry, as if it was taken in a panic.

Photographed the two bodies.

Ji Cai's appearance was different from before. She opened her eyes, turned her head sideways, and stared at the camera with dark eyes.

"Fuck me—" The policeman stepped back abruptly, his scalp tingling, "this is really—"

Lu Yingjiu said, "Give me the phone and I'll go."

He took the mobile phone of Lao Liu and quickly walked out of the monitoring room. Behind him was the footsteps followed by Chu Banyang and Little Li.

Going out from the dim environment, the eyes could not adapt to the strong light for a while, and the surroundings were white. Lu Yingjiu narrowed her eyes subconsciously.

When his vision was completely restored, he had already walked into the alley.

There are tall buildings on both sides, and this alley is extremely narrow and cramped, as if it will be squashed in the next second.

Before he knew it, the footsteps behind him disappeared.

In other words, everything is too quiet.

Nothing but the rustling of leaves overhead. The footsteps disappeared, the bird calls disappeared, and even the noise outside the community was completely hidden.

Looking back, no one was there.

It's like the whole world, leaving him alone.

Lu Yingjiu lowered her eyes.

In the photo on the phone, Ji Cai's dark eyes were looking at him.

Then she slowly raised the corner of her mouth.

She smiled at Lu Yingjiu.

A gust of wind blew, and tree shadows danced wildly on the ground—there was a rustling sound, like the syllables squeezed out by a dying person, dry, hoarse, and intermittent.

Darkness surged.

It was a group of little devils following him.

The ghost's revenge came earlier than he expected.

Lu Yingjiu looked away.

The sun and the shadows of tall buildings fell on him, half bright and half gloomy. A strange color flashed over those beautiful eyebrows——

It was not fear, or impatience.

It's a veiled, visceral excitement.

Some spells require blood to be used. Lu Yingjiu was carrying a small butterfly knife. At this moment, he threw off the blade, and the blade danced nimbly between his fingers. Then he clenched the handle of the knife with his backhand, and with a light stroke, opened his index finger.

Bright red blood beads came out from the wound.

But before he took out the spell, there was a sudden flash in front of him.

He heard a chuckle.

There seems to be a... aroma in the air?

Very light, cold fragrance.

It is difficult to describe in words.

It was as if a crescent moon suddenly appeared when searching for plums, and the misty fragrance of flowers rubbed into the moonlight.

When he regained his senses, the sound of footsteps, the sound of wind, and the sound of human beings slammed into him, hugging him. The world resumed its operation as if nothing had happened.

The ghost is gone.

Lu Yingjiu was stunned.

Looking down, the wound on the index finger was healed, so clean that there was no trace left.

Little Li panting up and followed: "You, how do you stop here?"

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

Lu Yingjiu said, "Because I encountered some... interesting things."

He didn't move forward, he went back to the alley and went back all the way.

Calm and calm, without the slightest clue.

Lu Yingjiu stood in the middle of the alley, thought for a moment, and walked again. This time he didn't pay attention to the Yin Qi, and his eyes swept across the green vegetation on the walls, the ground and the corners...

Near the end, something reflected in the corner, shining brightly.

Lu Yingjiu squatted beside it, pulled out a piece of talisman paper, and flicked the talisman paper lightly and it burned. With this light, he saw a little residual black-red liquid.

is blood.

Lu Yingjiu narrowed his eyes.

The ground was damaged, and he kicked it lightly, kicking away a few broken bricks.

Black-red blood gushed out from the ground, instantly dyeing the ground red. Only then did Lu Yingjiu see what was underneath.

Broken bones, severed limbs and heads.

It was squeezed into a ball with the soil, and the original appearance was completely invisible.

This is not a human being, but a ghost who has just followed him.

Lu Yingjiu remembered that he had seen the hydraulic press crushing things. At that time, he felt the violence, but now, the scene seems to appear in front of him again: the white bone is broken, the head is shattered, and the residue is thinner than paper.

At the moment when they wanted to rush up, some kind of strange and terrifying force pressed them into the ground alive and crushed them.

Little Li suddenly exclaimed: "Ah! What are you in your hands!"

In Lu Yingjiu's hand, another bright red flower appeared out of thin air.

Layer upon layer, delicate and charming.

A cool breeze blew his hair a bit, and there was a subtle touch on his forehead.

That's almost-

It was almost like a kiss.
