Chapter 8 Partner
Win-win and double-benefit... Xie Jin was slightly taken aback, and have to say that the proposal of youth is indeed very suitable for the current situation.
In just a few days of getting along, he found that Ji Duan is not forgiving, but he always helps him unexpectedly... Although it is all by means of possession.
To be honest, Xie Jin can't control his current state. If he has too much communication with other people, he will even have a hyperventilation reaction.
But Ji Duan is different. Even if he loses his memory during his lifetime, he can almost be described as old oil because of his ruthlessness in dealing with people and his deep understanding of the company's operators.
Speaking skills, courage, and identity, it seems that it is really a good choice to have Ji Duanlai as his partner.
Xie Jin thought carefully in his mind, and after he made up his mind, he asked tentatively, "However, I don't have any connections, so it should be difficult for you to retrieve your memory, don't you mind?"
"It's better than doing useless work by myself." Ji Duan picked up the noodles with chopsticks and forced the bowl into Xie Jin's hands again.
Looking at this pale and thin man, he raised his eyebrows, and his face flashed with unprecedented confidence, "And you have signed a contract with M company, then I will appear as your teammate in the next spirit exploration work. Now the netizens are so powerful, I donβt believe that there is not even a single clue, and there will definitely be people who know me.β
Xie Jin held the noodle bowl and stared blankly at this young man whose personality was completely opposite to his own.
Compared with himself, he is more flamboyant. Even when it comes to unknown factors, this person seems not to be afraid, and he has some momentum to move forward.
It looked a little like when he was young. Xie Jin closed his eyes and saw his former figure a little from Ji Duan.
In the past, the self who always rushed in front of the team and laughed heartily.
"Okay." He picked up the lumps of instant noodles with chopsticks and said softly before swallowing them, "Then it's up to you."
Two days later, the first mission dispatched by the company went to Xie Jin. Since he chose the location by himself, Xie Jin didn't have to go out for business this time.
Xie Jin checked the road map, and the apartment building was actually less than 40 kilometers away from his rental house.
Because they were in the local area, he and Ji Duan stopped the soliciting three jumpers who were about to disappear in the era after packing up their equipment, and set off to their destination amid the bumps.
"Are you afraid? Because people have died there?" Ji Duan squeezed into the small carriage, and found the clue of the man under close observation, "If you dare to go to the ghost paradise alone, are you still afraid of being in the local area? Abandoned apartment?"
Xie Jin raised his pale face slightly, and reluctantly pulled out a weak smile. The sound of the three jumpers was so loud that he didn't have to worry that the driver riding in front of him would hear it, so he raised his voice.
"It can only be said that the ignorant are fearless. I don't know what happened in the Celebration State park before, but this time the apartment we are going to is said to have had a massacre."
There was a murder case, or the massacre 30 years ago, which means that if there is something unclean here, it will be a ghost who has been resentful for 30 years, and it must be either murderous or dangerous.
And he had a vague premonition that this trip to explore the spirit should not be so simple. Compared with the paradise where he met Ji Duan, the apartment he picked on the forum this time was a strange story that everyone knew about Tan Jiang.
What the legendary room will disappear, and the cry of children from the room at the end, netizens describe it appropriately, but if you imagine that picture, you will get goosebumps.
"Young man, the road ahead is not easy to walk. If you want to go in, the tires will be worn out and you will have to pay extra." The big brother who opened the three-bumper turned his head and stared at Xie Jin with a strange look.
He had noticed just now that the young man was talking to himself in the air beside him. Although he couldn't hear it clearly, it didn't look like he was on the phone, let alone going to such an evil place...
People look a little nervous, something is wrong.
"Why don't you get off here, and walk a few steps inside, that's where you're going." The elder brother said a word, and without waiting for Xie Jin's response, he stopped directly in the group of abandoned buildings, "Get out of the car quickly. , I have to go home to eat my wife's cooking before it gets dark."
Xie Jin and Ji Duan looked at each other, but the young man grinned indifferently: "Let's go, this eldest brother is timid and cherishes his life, and he doesn't want to take us in again."
To put it nicely, the place where the three bouncers stopped was at least one kilometer away from their destination, and that wasn't even counting the time to find that apartment.
Just this, the black-hearted big brother still asked Xie Jin, who was so poor, for 80 yuan. Is it because this guy is weak and easy to bully?
"Okay, please walk slowly." Xie Jin carried his bag and got out of the car first. He winked wildly at Ji Duan who was still in the car and motioned him to get down quickly.
Ji Duan turned a Byakugan to this good-natured man, and reluctantly got down from the three-bumper, and watched his eldest brother flee as if he were running away. Then he turned his head to look at Xie Jin.
"What are you laughing at, do you know that you have been slaughtered." He was a little angry, how could there be such a bad guy like Xie Jin.
"I know, but what about it." Xie Jin took out his water bottle from his backpack and handed it to the young man. He seemed to have seen many such things, and he had long since taken it for granted, "People won't go in, I You can't force people."
Ji Duan took his water bottle, and raised his brows thoughtfully. This is what Xie Jinneng said. No matter whether he takes it or not, he will take it for granted and never give priority to himself, so that in the end You will be in a position where you can be bullied.
"Let's go, let's hurry up." The pig bone on the schoolbag made a crisp sound with Xie Jin's movements. He tapped the young man on the shoulder and took the lead in walking towards the abandoned buildings in the distance.
It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon. Fortunately, the summer night would not come too early, and the afterglow of the setting sun could allow them to see the road ahead clearly, which also saved a lot of time and electricity.
Ji Duan stepped on the dry branches and followed Xie Jin in a muffled voice. From time to time, unknown screams of birds and beasts could be heard in the ruined building beside him.
Desolate, with no trace of human life, this ruin is like a dying old man with his last breath, staring indifferently at this impersonal world.
"Ji Duan, can't you remember anything?" The brief silence was broken by Xie Jin, maybe he was afraid that the young man would misunderstand something, so he added quickly, "I mean, other than his name, what other clues are there?Β β¦β
"No." Ji Duan brushed his hair against the cool breeze at night, "If I could remember, I wouldn't stay here."
He said these words unintentionally, but the listeners were intentional, Xie Jin choked, and suddenly realized that the young man who lived in harmony with him would eventually leave after recovering his lost memories.
If they said it but wished to be reincarnated, I'm afraid they won't recognize each other again when they meet again, right?
"Of course, I figured that I was rich. After all, when I woke up, I found that the clothes on my body were expensive, although they were rubbish during the time in the park... and I seem to be very concerned about the company's operations. Iβm especially interested, maybe heβs a very expensive boss.β
Ji Duan spreads his hands. He is now wearing Xie Jin's cotton T-shirt, which he bought from the roadside for about ten yuan. Obviously Xie Jin wears loose clothes, but when he arrives at the youth, it becomes a tight fit.
The inferior cotton cloth wraps Ji Duan's young and strong body, and the cuffs outline the shape of the muscles of the triceps, and even a little tight.
But Ji Duan didn't say anything. He is now a lonely ghost with no help and no one to rely on. He depends on Xie Jin for food, drink, clothing and shelter. If he complains about the difficult conditions, it will be really unfriendly.
"Let's not talk about me, but you Uncle Xie." Ji Duan blinked his eyes slyly and asked tentatively, "Why don't you tell me about your past? You used to have a team, right?"
He strode forward and walked side by side with Xie Jin. The instant expression on the man's face was obvious, and Xie Jin was reluctant to mention this.
The more he behaved like this, the more curious Ji Duan became about what happened that year. The general meaning of the bullet screen a few days ago seems to be that Xie Jin's team has frequent deaths, and Xie Jin is the culprit behind this incident.
Ji Duan scoffed at such remarks. He never listened to rumors. The truth of any incident must be known from the parties concerned, which is the most credible.
"Uncle Xie, you and I are both partners now, can you tell me about it?" Seeing that Xie Jin wanted to pretend he couldn't hear him, he reiterated, "The team you used to be in... What happened to the pioneer of spirit exploration? What's the matter?"
He said to himself, but did not find that Xie Jin's expression changed from stiff to solemn, and finally changed to a compromise with a begging meaning.
The face that had been thinned out even lost the little rosy ruddy that was left, and it became like a pale white paper, with a frighteningly embarrassing expression.
"The Pioneer of Spirit Exploration... has been disbanded." Xie Jin's dry lips opened slightly, and these words popped out with some effort, "Let's not talk about this, okay?"
The memory of the past frantically emerged in his mind, and the already numb chest felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp spear, the pain was so painful that he was about to suffocate.
Xie Jin reluctantly gave a smile that was hardly a smile, and asked the young man in a hoarse voice: "If you really want to know, I will give you the phone, and you can search on the Internet, okay?"
His whole person seemed to be decadent in an instant, and he no longer had the vitality that he had finally emerged.
"Forget it, let's hurry up." Seeing the man's appearance, Ji Duan's heart was suddenly grabbed by something inexplicably. Even though he expected that Xie Jin might have a stress reaction, he never thought about a man. Sensitive to the point of talking about it.
Ji Duan pursed his thin lips, rushed from behind and grabbed the man's thin shoulder, "Let's go, finish today's task."
He tried to mobilize his emotions and pretended to be light after a heavy sigh. The matter of the pioneers of exploring spirits certainly aroused his curiosity, but at least before Xie Jin took the initiative to speak, he would not ask again.
