I said uneasily to the Lady Boss, "What I said was the truth."
The Lady Boss didn't even have the intention to refute me. She just kept sneering.
I thought to myself: It seems that ghosts really can't be easily deceived. They can see right through my lies.
We were in a stalemate when Xia Xin stepped forward. She said lightly to the Lady Boss, "You no longer need to doubt him. He is not the person you are looking for."
The Lady Boss unhappily said, "Why should I believe you?"
Mr. Zhao still had a cheap smile on his face, but his words carried an unquestionable atmosphere, "Whether you believe it or not, he has to go today. You'd better believe it before you sulk. "
The Lady Boss nodded and sneered. "Okay, okay. You guys saw that I'm a lonely woman, so you guys want to bully me?"
Soon after, the Lady Boss's face became extremely terrifying. Her hair grew a few inches longer at a rate visible to the naked eye, and her eyes and lips turned purplish black. Not only her eyes and lips, but I could clearly see that her face was covered with a faint layer of black gas.
The black aura continuously spread out from her body. When I accidentally took a whiff of it, I felt dizzy and restless.
Xia Xin said in a low voice, "It's the evil Qi. Stay away."
I nodded and stood behind him. I've seen so many ghosts, it's not like I've never seen a ghost with hostility, but it's still the first time I've seen one with such a strong hostility.
The Lady Boss's voice sounded a little stuffy, as if she was a thousand miles away, or in someone's ears. She coldly said, "If you want to fight, you two are not my match. "I don't want to hurt the innocent. Leave, the one with the surname Hu will stay."
Mr. Zhao sighed and said helplessly: "I can't leave ah, I'm his second uncle. If I leave, how am I going to account to his mother?"
I was even a little touched.
The Lady Boss then sighed. "Alright then. Wait until I kill my archenemy, then I will come to pay my respects to you. "
Just as the Lady Boss finished her sentence, a gale rose up in the room, knocking all the tables, chairs, cups and plates to the ground.
The wind felt cold and hard, like sharp blades cutting through my body. I screamed in pain.
"Wait a moment." I heard the Mr. Zhao shouting.
However, the Lady Boss simply ignored him. The wind was getting stronger and stronger. I felt like I was being blown away by the wind. My feet left the ground and the wind blades started to cut me from all directions. It was truly a slow process.
Suddenly, the wind stopped and I fell to the ground with a thump.
My fall was painful, but this pain was nothing compared to the pain I had suffered a moment ago. I gasped for breath for a moment, then slowly raised my arm. I tried to check my wound, but there wasn't even a drop of blood on me.
I thought: This lady boss is quite vicious, let me suffer all the pain, but the body did not injure. So she can keep me alive and tortured? I couldn't help but shiver. This is even more vicious than killing me.
I slowly got up from the ground and saw that the Mr. Zhao had taken off his jacket. He was strapped with a small bundle.
Mr. Zhao took out the bundle, weighed it in his hand, and said: "Boss, don't be like this. If everyone breaks off all decorum, then it's not good for you, and it's not good for me. "
The Lady Boss coldly stared at Mr. Zhao, not saying a word.
I saw that the Lady Boss seemed very fearful, so I quietly asked Xia Xin, "What's in that bundle?"
Xia Xin said, "Cinnabar."
I begin to admire Mr. Zhao. A thing like cinnabar was fatal to ghosts. In order to guard against ghosts, it was not easy for Mr. Zhao to carry a bundle of cinnabar all year round.
After a moment of silence, the Lady Boss said, "I've made up my mind to kill you guys. Your bag of cinnabar might not be able to stop me."
Mr. Zhao nodded his head repeatedly: "That's right, that's right. Not only will I not be able to stop you, I might not even be able to kill you. "
The Lady Boss was a bit puzzled. "Then why did you take it out for?"
The Mr. Zhao laughed and pointed at his feet: "The place I am standing at, is the central point of this noodle house. This noodle house of yours is not simple. It should have been arranged by an expert for you. However, if you poured the cinnabar here, the noodle house would completely collapse. If you want to continue selling your noodles, that's impossible. "
The Lady Boss looked at Mr. Zhao with admiration. "You can tell at a glance that the center of the noodle house is not simple. However, so what if the noodle store was destroyed? I have already killed my enemy, there is no longer any meaning for the noodle house to exist. "
The Mr. Zhao said, "What if he isn't your enemy?"
The Lady Boss was silent for a moment. "He is my enemy. I can't be wrong. "
I couldn't help but say, "Do you have evidence? You say that I am your enemy, but am I your enemy? At least let me die, don't you understand? "
Xia Xin also nodded and said to the Lady Boss, "That's right. If you can come up with evidence, I won't stop you."
The Lady Boss looked at Xia Xin with a puzzled expression. "You trust him that much?"
Xia Xin acknowledged, "I know that in his previous life and in his current life, he is not the person you're looking for."
I looked at Xia Xin in astonishment, but Xia Xin turned her head away and didn't look at me.
The Lady Boss hesitated for a while before saying to me, "Alright! I'll make you understand!" Come with me. "
Xia Xin and Mr. Zhao nodded at me, and we followed the Lady Boss to the second floor.
There were several rooms on the second floor, some like bedrooms, some like a utility room. In the furthest corner, there was a small dark room. The door of the hut was nailed to the door frame and reinforced with many pieces of wood.
The Lady Boss said to me, "Open this door."
I said, "You're not going to lock me up here, are you?"
The Lady Boss indifferently said, "I will give you 15 minutes." If the door doesn't open, I'll kill you. "
When I heard this, I immediately started to tear down the door. I didn't expect that the Lady Boss, who was smiling so charmingly not long ago, was now saying that she was going to kill me.
These nails were not easy to dismantle, so I simply hit them with brute force and destroyed a lot of the wood. Finally, the door opened.
It wasn't so much that the door opened, as that it allowed me to smash open a large hole that a person could fit into.
The Lady Boss said, "You can go in."
This time, I was determined not to go. I said to the Lady Boss, "Tell me clearly, what exactly is inside? Is there really evidence inside? "
The Lady Boss faintly said, "There's a headless corpse inside."
When I heard this, I shivered. "There's a headless body inside? What do you want me to do? "
Lady Boss said, "Headless corpses have not existed for many years. What it couldn't forget was finding its own head. If you go in, he might borrow your head. "
I sucked in a breath of cold air and said to the Lady Boss, "If you have something to say, speak frankly. Don't intentionally scare me. What exactly do you want?"
The Lady Boss sneered and said, "The headless body inside is my enemy."
I chuckled dryly. "If that's the case, then your enemy is already dead."
The Lady Boss faintly said, "His body is indeed dead, but his soul is still alive. and he's already been reincarnated, so I'm going to destroy his soul. "
It was fine for the Lady Boss to say those words, but the crux of the issue was that she had to grind her teeth while looking at me. I couldn't help but shrink back my neck. I said to the Lady Boss, "So, what evidence do you want me to see?"
The Lady Boss said, "After you enter, stand face to face with the corpse. If you were his reincarnation, he'd ask for your head. Although there are no more souls in the corpses, there are still some remaining instincts. "
I wiped off my cold sweat. "How do I borrow it?"
The Lady Boss used her hand to rub her neck. "Cut it off from here." Take your head away and put it on your shoulder. "
I said, "Then I'm dead?"
The Lady Boss said, "Yes. If I borrow your head from a corpse, you are my enemy, and you deserve to die. If I don't borrow from you, you can walk out alive, and I won't stop you. "
I hesitated for a moment before I turned my head towards Mr. Zhao and asked, "Second Uncle, am I really looking at longevity?"
Mr. Zhao nodded: "Definitely."
I clenched my teeth and told the Lady Boss, "Alright, I'll prove it."
So I bent down and went into the room.
It's so dark here. I can't even see my fingers. Suddenly, a light shone behind me. I turned my head to look and the Lady Boss passed me an oil lamp.
I casually took it and subconsciously thanked him.
The Lady Boss sneered. Suddenly, she picked up a piece of wooden board and sealed the big hole with tinkling sounds.
I panicked. "You're not trusting?"
The Lady Boss said, "Fifteen minutes. As long as you are still alive, I will release you."
I stomped my feet. "Alright, I'll stay inside for a quarter of an hour."
I held up the candle and saw that there was a coffin in the room, as well as a pillar. A headless body was tied to a post.
According to the Lady Boss, this corpse had been her enemy many years ago. Judging from this, the corpse must have been dead for many years. It could even be hundreds of years.
However, when I shone the oil lamp on the corpse, I found that the neck area of the corpse had yet to rot. There were even traces of blood on the neck. As if it had just died.
I took a deep breath and put the lamp on the ground. Then he stood in front of the corpse and said loudly, "Lady Boss, watch carefully. Whether I am the reincarnation of a corpse or not, the answer will come soon. "
As soon as I said that, the corpse moved.
My scalp tingled with fear and I subconsciously wanted to escape. But I also knew that even if I could escape, the Lady Boss would kill me. So I braced myself.
The corpse is clearly already dead. There is clearly no soul, only an empty shell. Yet, it is actually struggling clumsily. He pulls his hand out from the rope and extends it forward. The direction that he is trying to go, is my head.
