When I heard Xia Xin's words, my heart went cold. After arguing for a long time, the portrait in the shed was a mirror. If that's the case, then wouldn't that glance I shot last night mean I'm courting death?
Now that I think about it, those workers' posturing, storytelling and cold sweat, were clearly luring me to take a look over there.
I regretfully stomped my feet and cursed in my heart, "These lone souls are truly treacherous."
The Little Tang Wei said in relief, "Thankfully it was placed downstairs in the middle of the night, so no one should have seen it."
The Mr. Zhao said, "That may not be so. If no one sees it, the paper men will not leave. "Since they have already been burnt to ashes, this means that they have succeeded."
Little Tang Wei held her chin and said: "I wonder which unlucky bastard fell for it. Mr. Zhao, do you think that if a person accidentally looked in a mirror, there would be any hope? "
Mr. Zhao said, "Of course there's a chance for it to be saved. It's very simple, as long as you take advantage of the fact that you aren't dead yet, you can shatter the mirror."
The Little Tang Wei said, "But the mirror has already been taken away, how do we break it?"
Mr. Zhao spread his hands: "This is the difficult part. Those paper men came and went without a trace, who knows where they went. "
When I heard this, my heart went cold and my body felt empty. My feet staggered and I almost hit the coffee table.
Little Tang Wei curiously asked me: "What's wrong?"
I waved my hand. I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go back and get some sleep. "
Xia Xin looked at me doubtfully. "Haven't you already slept for an entire day? Do you want to eat something? "
I turned around and saw the bread on the table. I picked it up and said, "I'll eat the bread."
I went back to my bedroom, sat on my bed, and didn't know anything.
When I opened my eyes again, it was noon of the second day. I still had the piece of bread in my hand, but it was gone.
I sighed and took a bite. But by this time I was panicking with hunger, and I swallowed the bread quickly.
There was a glass of water on the headboard and I drank it down. After eating and drinking for a while, his stomach finally felt much better.
I stretched, feeling better.
Actually, I could roughly guess what was going on by now. The paper men had placed a mirror in the mourning hall. When I looked in the mirror, a lot of my aura had been absorbed. Fortunately, it's me. With my young and strong body, I gained quite a bit of knowledge from Mr. Zhao and was barely able to make up for after a long sleep.
I touched my body. The dagger was still there, as was the small box that Coffin King gave me.
Tomorrow is my birthday, I thought. Who dares to kill me? Come if you have the ability. I don't believe that my life can't be decided by myself? Heh heh, tomorrow night, whoever wants to harm me will have to use their life in exchange.
Thinking about it, I opened the door in high spirits, and saw Mr. Zhao and the rest eating. Today's meal was very sumptuous. There were chickens, fish, and meat dishes.
I sat on the stool and looked at the food and complained, "I've slept so long, why hasn't anyone called me?"
Mr. Zhao looked at me strangely and said, "You've recovered?"
I nodded. "Alright, let's get this over with."
Mr. Zhao spoke with sincerity, "Youngster, pay attention to your body. This is not good for your health. I saw that you were so tired that your soul was almost gone, so I didn't touch you.
Little Tang Wei chuckled at the side, while Xia Xin gave me a disdainful look. The more I listened, the more it didn't sound right. I raised my voice and said, "What do you mean? What's going on? What's not good for the body? "
Mr. Zhao tsk-tsked a few times before saying, "Don't think that I can't tell that your entire body has almost been hollowed out these past two days. Did you go to the red light district? "
I spat, "Bullsh * t."
Mr. Zhao opened his eyes wide. "I'm your second uncle."
I said, "Even if you're my uncle, you can't spout nonsense. I'm with you guys every day, do I have time to walk around the red light district? "
Mr. Zhao smiled and said: "Are you with us everyday? I remember one night you sneaked downstairs yourself. Not until four in the morning. "
I faintly said, "Second Uncle, you really were just pretending to be asleep that night."
Mr. Zhao said, "You don't need to care if I pretended to sleep or not, just tell me if I went downstairs."
I sighed. "Yeah, I went downstairs, but I didn't go to the red light district. I went downstairs to watch the fun."
The Little Tang Wei curiously asked: "Watching the show?"
I looked at her. There was a crowd of paper men that night. "
Xia Xin exclaimed as her expression immediately changed. She grabbed my wrist and put her fingers on it. After a moment, she said with a serious expression, "You can't be looking in the mirror, can you?"
I was a bit embarrassed, but I had to admit it. I nodded and said, "I looked in the mirror. That's why I'm weak. I was drained of energy by the mirror, not the red-light district. "
Xia Xin let go of my wrist, and looked at me speechlessly: "Hu Chujiu, when will you have a snack?"
I argued, "Those people look too much like real people, and they have my name on the wreath. Can I not see it? If it was anyone else, they would still fall for it. "
Xia Xin leaned back in her chair and thought for a while with a frown. Then, she said, "Forget it, it's alright. There were only a few ways a little kid could harm someone. We have too many experts in ghost capture here. At most, we can just wait for him and teach him a lesson. "
We all nodded in agreement.
After that, the Mr. Zhao started to invite us to eat. I looked at the table full of dishes and asked, "Why are there so many dishes today?"
Mr. Zhao said, "Aren't we going to look for the murderer tonight? Of course we have to conserve our energy and gather our strength. The mastermind for tonight is very likely to appear. "
I was stunned. "Isn't that tomorrow's matter?" I asked, a little puzzled.
Mr. Zhao said, "After midnight, it will be tomorrow, right?"
I knocked my head. "That seems to be the case."
Everyone at the table was happily eating, except for me, who ate a large piece of bread in advance. Right now, I can't eat anymore.
By the time everyone had eaten their fill, it was already nightfall. Mr. Zhao packed his things and called us to set out.
I asked the Little Tang Wei: "Do you see Hu Dali?"
The Little Tang Wei said, "He went back to school. Send the lives of Ma Ke and the others back. "
I nodded and asked again, "Where's Xiao Miao?"
The Little Tang Wei said, "Hu Dali is dizzy again and has been silly all day. I'm worried that he would be bullied in the dorm and have Xiao Miao follow him."
I smiled. "He has plenty of strength. If he goes berserk, no one can stop him. He shouldn't be bullied."
Little Tang Wei said: "That may not be true, those students might not be able to beat him, what if there is some trick behind the scenes?"
I nodded in deep agreement.
The four of us went downstairs and the Little Tang Wei took the initiative to drive out.
After we got on, I asked the Mr. Zhao, "Did you return the van you rented previously?"
Mr. Zhao said, "I will return it a long time ago."
I was elated. "What about my ID card?"
The Mr. Zhao said, "I secretly returned it. How could he still have the face to greet someone who had crashed into his car like that? Your ID... "I'll make one up."
I helplessly said, "Since I can't get my ID back, what's the use of returning my car? Second Uncle, don't forget, I'm still a fugitive, how am I supposed to get my ID card? "
Mr. Zhao closed his eyes and said, "That's enough, that's enough. If you come with me, why would you need an ID? He had to take care of his own life first. He would think about his ID when his life was saved. At most, I'll steal it back for you. "
I sighed and closed my eyes, as he had done. There's going to be a tough battle tonight, and we have to rest.
I closed my eyes and couldn't sleep. Actually, my goal isn't to sleep either. I just need to rest my eyes for a bit.
I asked Little Tang Wei who was driving with my eyes closed, "We are going to capture a ghost, why are you following us too?"
Little Tang Wei said, "My heart is in the hands of another, what's wrong with me not taking charge?"
I replied, "That's true." Since your physical body is already like this, you're not afraid that others will take your life. Just follow along. There shouldn't be any danger. "
The car turned a few corners into the city and finally arrived at the junction of the urban and rural areas. There are many winding alleys here. There were a lot of lighted huts in the alley, most of them with the words Hair and Corridor written on them.
I randomly counted at least twenty or so hair salons in an alley, and the rest were massages, foot baths, and the like …
I followed the three of them and stopped in front of a shop that looked at divination.
The Mr. Zhao said, "Let's go in."
When we pushed through the door, we saw a solid wooden table, old, and the people behind it probably older than the table.
It was an old man, skinny, sitting behind a table, almost blending in with the black chair. If it weren't for the fact that his eyes were rolling, I would have suspected that he was a wooden sculpture.
I whispered, "Is this old man the murderer?"
My voice was low, but the old man's ears were sharp. He chuckled, showing his sparse teeth. The four of you are here to look for my father, right? "
Mr. Zhao nodded.
I looked at the old man in confusion. Judging from his appearance, he should be around 80 to 90 years old. Wouldn't his father be more than a hundred?
The old man reached out and grabbed the cane at the side. He slowly stood up and used the cane to push aside the curtain. Then, he walked into the room, trembling.
The Inside the house had a memorial tablet that read: The position of Half Immortal in the deceased father Ma.
The old man extended his hand towards the tablet and said to us, "My father is over there. If you have anything to say, go ahead and say it."
