    "This is... posted by Tofu Zhang's family?" Ji Duan handed the phone back to Xie Jin without making a sound. In order to avoid cheating, he didn't even appear in the camera.

    The missing person notice is written in black and white, and only one picture is printed in color. The girl in the picture is about four or five years old, with two braids on her head, and a pair of smiling eyes on her round face, which is very rare .

    "Uh, after his child was lost, he printed a lot of notices for missing persons. Our store is a chain, and according to the rules, we can't post them at the door casually, so we took them to the cashier and distributed them to everyone we met."

    The clerk followed suit and took a seat. He popped a pack of cigarettes from his trouser pocket, and skillfully cupped his hands at Wen Liang, "Would you like one?"

    "Thank you, I have it myself." Wen Liang shook out the cigarette rod hidden in his cuff, and lit the tobacco with the clerk's lighter.

    What no one noticed was that under the smog around him, there were two imperceptible shadows mixed in, faintly turning into two distorted figures in the smog.

    The clerk briefly introduced himself. He is the night shift worker at the Hibiscus Street branch. If Hibiscus Street falls asleep whenever night falls, he is the only one who is still awake.

    "Tell me, what do you want to know?" He puffed out his cigarette and looked at the two people beside the stone table, "I can be regarded as someone with work experience here, but you will really believe what I have seen. ?"

    "But it's okay, tell me what happened recently that you think is weird?" Wen Liang pinched two puffs of human-shaped smoke from his ears, narrowed his gray-blue eyes, and at first glance he looked like a very easy-going person .

    "Strange thing..." The clerk's expression was a little strange, he seemed to be unsure of something, and his whole person suddenly became mysterious, "The Taoist priest can come here in the middle of the night, probably because he heard about the recent incident of losing children. "

    Wen Liang didn't deny it, and still smiled at him with squinted eyes. For some reason, the clerk always felt chills on his back, obviously the other party had a smile on his face, this feeling was very strange.

    "Oh, I told Zhang's family, they don't believe me..." The clerk wiped out the cigarette butt and rubbed his hair helplessly.

    "Actually, I was on the night shift the night his child was lost. I remember very clearly that night, a black figure that seemed human but not human squeezed into his shop against the wall. Then during the day, I heard that his child was missing. gone."

    "Black shadow?" Xie Jin couldn't help asking, "Can you tell me what it looks like in detail?"

    The clerk nodded: "It is only about one meter high, and it is in the shape of a person, but I can be sure that it is definitely not the shadow of a person, because that night was about the same time as now, I was the only one on Hibiscus Street, and there were absolutely no other tourists."

    "The black shadow never came out again after getting in?" At this time, Wen Liang had already smoked half a bag of tobacco, he put out the dry tobacco, and kept playing with the rod in his hand.

    "Yes, I still had unfinished work at the time, and there was only one person in the store who was a little scared, so I didn't dare to look outside."

    Now that the clerk thought about it, he couldn't help but feel a little regretful. If he had looked over there a few more times, maybe he could have seen the true face of the black shadow?

    "You did the right thing." Wen Liang yawned again, and then he opened his eyes completely, lifted the cigarette stick and pointed to the glass door of the convenience store, "That thing can sense people's sight, yours If you look at it a few more times, it might temporarily change its target to you."

    The chill spread from the soles of the feet to the top of the scalp, and the clerk couldn't help shivering: "Master... you, you mean, if I really passed that time, the missing person might become me?"

    "Yeah, its target should be boys and girls. Those unclean things like the pure yin and yang at birth. You should be a baby, right? That's why they might attack you. "

    What Wen Liang said was shaking his head, which stunned the people around him, especially the clerk brother, after repeatedly savoring Wen Liang's words, he recalled it rather slowly.

    "This, how is this possible! Can't it, absolutely shouldn't it?" He seemed to have some doubts about life. Compared with the fear of unknown things, he was more confused and ashamed about life's major events at this time.

    "Hey, how could I lie to you." Wen Liang took out something familiar to both Xie Jin and Ji Duan, "This is a fortune card, which can not only ward off evil spirits but also improve luck. Do you need it?" ?”

    "...again." Ji Duan glanced at the so-called transfer card, which was clearly the amulet sold to the single owner Su Xiaoxiao when he went to Jincheng Academy of Fine Arts last time.

    I have to admit that Wen Liang is definitely a business genius in this respect. Ji Duan and Xie Jin watched the clerk get into the suit, and finally bought the "omnipotent" wooden sign at a price of 98 yuan. .

    "That's all I know. I saw something dirty. Does the Taoist wooden sign really work?" The clerk was about to put away his phone, but Wen Liang stopped him as soon as his arm moved.

    "I'm a serious Taoist priest, how can I be false." Wen Liang handed his mobile phone to the clerk, "Come on, scan the QR code to add friends, if you have any difficulties, you can find me anytime."

    Xie Jin and Ji Duan: "..."

    The two watched the clerk leave. Maybe the young man really thought that he had met some kind-hearted Taoist priest, but in fact it was completely the opposite. Wen Liang was a big scam.

    "What are you two doing, why are you looking at me like that?" Wen Liang seemed to be in a good mood as he hummed a little song, but when he saw the expressions of the two beside him, his face twitched unnaturally. What's with the same look?

    Xie Jin was the first to speak. He has always been honest in his duties, and Wen Lianggang was considered a fraud. "...Wen Liang, the brand you sold him just now is the same as Su Xiaoxiao's, right? Bodyguard. How can cards help people change their luck?"

    "I'm still streaming live here. Did you know that all the expressions in the eyes of falling money have been recorded." Ji Duan pointed to the mobile phone in his hand, and lip-slapped Wen Liang.

    Wen Liang's frozen smile seemed to be unable to hold back. If he got closer, he could even see the faint blue veins on his forehead.

    "I didn't say they were the same kind." He took out two more sets of wooden tokens from his arms and shook them at the camera of the phone, "This one has the Peach Blossom Mantra engraved on the back, of course it's changed to Peach Blossom luck, the one on my right hand is on top. It is a spell to ward off evil spirits, and its main function is to protect the body."

    If you look closely, there are indeed differences in the details between the two sets of wooden cards. Except for the different spells, the spells on the amulet cards seem to be dark red, and it looks a bit like there is a layer in the carved wooden grooves. The red paint should be cinnabar.

    "Avoid the mobile phone camera, I have something to say." Wen Liang lip-mouthed to the two of them, "Although I also really want to sell goods through live broadcast, I'd better turn off the live broadcast first, there is something important."

    Turning the camera to the uninhabited street, Ji Duan recited the closing remarks familiarly, "Friends, tonight we will get the clues of the shadow on Hibiscus Street, because the clues are limited, the live broadcast is here, pay attention and don't get lost, the next live broadcast time Advance notice will still be given.”

    Turning off the live broadcast, Ji Duan's eyebrows rose sharply, looking at the leaflet in Wen Liang's hand, "So we ran here in the middle of the night, only to get a notice of missing people?"

    "Tongtong Yuyu." Wen Liang didn't respond directly, but called out the boys and girls who came back to him. He pinned the cigarette stick to his waist and stroked the heads of the two little dolls with his big hands, "Look at you guys. Tell them when they arrive."

    "Wen Liang asked us to attach it to the business card." Tong Tong opened his mouth first, and said in a crisp childish voice that was just enough for the three of them to hear, "The taxi driver suffered an accident, and we rescued him."

    Yuyu followed up: "A child's grievance appeared in the back seat of his car, and then the car 'bang'. If we hadn't protected him, he would have been knocked over!"

    The child's voice is clear, but the content is creepy. Tongtong Yuyu said in unison: "We locked the child's grievance in the copper coins. If he still has memories, you can still communicate with him."

    An ancient bronze coin floated out from Tong Tong's jacket, it swirled in the air, and finally landed in Wen Liang's palm.

    "Two children have been lost on this street, and now there is another child's grievance." Wen Liang looked up and saw the camera above the door of the convenience store. He couldn't help but clenched his palms, " Let's go and talk somewhere else."

    They walked along the corner of the street and walked along the route where the shadow appeared as the clerk said. The door of Tofu Zhang's shop was locked, but the aluminum door was exposed to the wind and damp all the year round, and it was slightly deformed compared with the original door frame. There is a gap of about one centimeter in the lower left position.

    "I'm afraid that black shadow got in from here." Ji Duan clasped the door frame with both hands, his muscles exerted force, and he shook the aluminum door with a force that would not damage it.

    The door is still strong, but the sound it makes is a little too unpleasant. Ji Duan gave up torturing his ears and turned to face Wen Liang, "Is that resentful spirit dangerous, let it out and see?"

    Wen Liang nodded in agreement, his index finger was pressed on his thumb, his thumb suddenly forcefully bounced the copper coin, and the bronze-colored coin swirled in the air. Accompanied by Wen Liang's quick recitation, a white shadow squeezed out of the copper coin.

    When the child resentful spirit who became a kid for some reason came out, he didn't care about revenge, but he who understands the times is a hero hugged his head and ran away.

    Without Wen Liang's order, Tongtong Yuyu, who was standing behind him, turned into two afterimages like a hungry tiger rushing towards food, effortlessly pinching the child and turning back.

    The pale-skinned child's face was covered with black blood vessels, and his face, which was calm just now, turned hideous. He wanted to bite anything he could see, but his neck was restrained by Tong Tong, and he couldn't even let out a scream. sound.

    His emotionless eyes almost cracked, and then he was pressed and bumped into another pair of gray-blue eyes.

    "Little guy, what's your name?" Wen Liang squatted in front of the child and looked at him with his head tilted. "It looks like you are only four or five years old. How did you become like this?"

    "Cough... ka, qua!" The child-like resentful spirit opened his mouth, and the black blood vessels on his face were about to burst.

    Xie Jin couldn't bear it anymore, so he still persuaded: "Wen Liang, please let Tong Tong be a little lighter. This resentful spirit doesn't look very big, and it is estimated that he suffered a lot during his lifetime."

    "Yes." Wen Liang narrowed his eyes slightly, and his gaze towards the resentful spirit became threatening, "I can let you go, but you have to tell me what I have experienced."

    Seeing that the child did not express his position, Wen Liangquan took it as his acquiescence, he waved his hand, and Tong Tong obeyed the instructions.

    Unexpectedly, the moment Tong Tong let go of the child, the black blood vessels on his face burst open at the same time, black blood covered the whole face, the child didn't even make a sound, and the whole body dissipated in an uneasy feeling. In the stench of words.

    Wen Liang's pupils shrank suddenly, he recognized the smell, this stench was disgusting, it was a curse.
