He stood up, walked over to the writing desk, opened the drawer, and took out a stack of big pink tickets, passing them to Tianyi. "This is the fee for running errands that I promised you."
"You guys think of a way, then tell me the answer."
Tianyi and I took the jade Buddha and those beautiful pink notes to leave.
He thought for a moment, "The mirrors are mostly for exorcism, and there are very few that can absorb souls. The reason should be because the materials used to make the mirrors are quite special, plus the soul inside has the desire to seek refuge in this world."
"Don't you guys think that this one hundred thousand dollars is too easy to earn? It's not difficult to extract a soul from a mirror, so there's no need to find a mage like us. "
"This piece of equipment is worth more than that." He held the jade Buddha in his hand and played with it.
"Who would use such a precious thing to make a comeback?"
"He took out a talisman bag and placed the jade Buddha inside." Let me think. The benefits of suspicion should be especially careful. "
"He looks like a decent businessman." Tianyi said, and I nodded.
"The thing that I don't believe the most is' looks'." Zhang Meiyuan held the pouch thoughtfully and curled his lips into a smile.
…
Xiao Xiao had finally waited for Xiong Tianming.
It was still late at night, still a boyfriend tired to the point of not wanting to talk to Ben.
It had only been three days, and Xiao Xiao felt like three years had passed.
She pleaded as she pushed the sleeping Zhang Tianyi away, "Tianming, please get up. I'm begging you, let me show you something."
"What's the big deal? "Aunt, I beg of you, please let me sleep a little longer. I have to take the bus tomorrow morning at 6 o'clock." He scowled.
"Get up. After seeing it, you might not need to go to work tomorrow." she said firmly.
Xiong Tianming sat up helplessly, and said in an impatient tone, "What are you looking at?"
Xiao Xiao inserted the USB drive into her laptop and opened the USB drive. She turned around and said to Xiong Tianming, "Someone is secretly taking pictures of us."
"Where did you get that video?"
"Little Li's computer."
"Why did you casually enter someone else's room again?" The impatience in Daylight's tone deepened.
"The computer is on by itself, I'm not going to take a look?" Xiao Xiao lowered his voice.
"I suspect that Little Li has a problem."
"They even suspect you of having a problem." Daylight replied.
Xiao Xiao endured her anger as she opened the computer and opened the video folder. There was a video file inside, so she double-clicked to open it.
The video started a minute ago, but there was only darkness. There was also a slight sizzling sound.
Daylight began to feel impatient. He looked at his watch and said, "It's already past 11 PM, there are still six more hours before we can sleep."
Xiao Xiao's heart tightened as he looked at the time, it was 11: 09 PM. His watch jumped and he jumped to 10: 00 PM.
Tianming had already fallen down. He could only hear his girlfriend trembling as she called out to him, "Tianming, hurry up and get up." The voice was filled with tears.
He sat up and saw that the screen, which had been dark, was like an open eye. Inside were two young men, their backs to the camera, looking at a computer.
It was precisely the figures of himself and Xiao Xiao at this very moment.
His sleep was gone. He turned around and looked at the spot where the camera would be.
There was only one cabinet by the door, and nothing.
Just as he stood up, the cabinet door opened soundlessly.
A hoarse squeak echoed in the room.
The clothes in the closet had long since been moved away by Xiao Xiao, leaving nothing behind.
At this moment, the faint sizzling sound on the computer turned into a low whisper.
She was like a person murmuring in a low voice and speaking quickly.
The two of them could not help but lower their heads to listen carefully.
A roar suddenly came from inside, "Get out!"
At dawn, the computer was overturned. He held his girlfriend in his arms.
Xiao Xiao thought that Daylight would believe him.
"Who's playing a prank on us, it's too much. "To make this kind of video."
"Daybreak!" Xiao Xiao unhappily broke free from Daylight's embrace. "This is obviously very strange …"
"What do you want me to do? Tell my friends that I don't want to mess around here? If I don't make it, who the hell would believe that kind of bullshit? "
"I don't need others to believe me. It's fine as long as you believe me." Xiao Xiao couldn't help crying.
"Good boy, why do I have to work so hard? You have to understand me. " He hugged Xiao Xiao.
"To make me happy? Now you can do it, pack up and come back with me. " Xiao Xiao shouted as she pushed the door open.
Someone knocked on the bedroom door. Little Li stood there with a confused expression, "It's the middle of the night, can you not quarrel?"
"Are you secretly taking pictures of us?" Xiao Xiao had completely lost all reason.
Little Li inexplicably opened his mouth wide.
"Xiao Xiao, are you crazy? Why are you attacking my friends so casually? " He said apologetically to Little Li, "I'm sorry. Go to bed, we won't argue anymore. "
After Little Li left, he collapsed onto the bed and fell into a deep sleep.
He ignored the angry Xiao Xiao, who was still standing by the bed.
At dawn, it was dark again. At least it hadn't rained.
Xiao Xiao felt a splitting headache, but his heart was filled with hatred.
She jumped off the bed. At most, she would kill me. If she didn't kill me, then I'd have to find out whether it was really someone doing this or something really dirty.
The table was littered with unorganized things.
As if in response, a hardcover book fell.
She picked it up and opened it. It was an old album.
Page after page, the album recorded the lives of ordinary but seemingly happy families.
From a young couple with babies in their arms, to a little boy learning how to walk, to running all over the place, to about five years old.
There was no later, and although there were only a few photographs of each stage of life, one could see how the family had changed.
The album was thick and not filled to the brim with half a blank.
But life seemed to have been cut off this year.
Xiao Xiao looked at the photo in shock.
The woman inside had burnt her hair, tied it with a handkerchief, and was wearing black T-shaped shoes.
She was wearing a floral dress with a row of buttons on the front.
The little boy wore a white shirt and blue tight-fitting shorts. She was wearing a pair of two-handed cloth shoes.
The way he was dressed reminded of the age of this building.
That should be at least a dozen years ago.
Why wasn't there anything after that? She thought for a moment, then put on her clothes and shoes, preparing to head down to the basement to look for clues.
Just as he opened the door, the other door opened as well. The jade-masked man walked over and whispered, "That talisman is a little ineffective, I'll give you another one."
She pressed a talisman into her hand. He did not wait for her to finish and hurriedly left.
Xiao Xiao went back to his room and picked up the talisman along with the original talisman and placed it in the book.
He went down to the basement and opened the dazzling crimson door.
He took a stool and propped it against the door.
Among all the dusty boxes was one that was still fresh and clean. He had left it in the living room and was preparing to take it out.
She frowned and carried the box out.
There was a sack next to the box, which was lying beside a pile of junk.
Curious, she dusted off the bag and untied it.
The bag fell to the ground, spilling a pile of old clothes, all stained with dark brown.
Xiao Xiao backed off in fear, but the door suddenly closed and the lights were not turned on.
The windowless basement was dark.
She felt for the switch on the wall and turned on the light. The light bulb dangled from the cord as if someone had just touched it.
The bloodstained clothes on the ground looked very familiar. It was a floral dress.
She left the basement with the sack without even looking at it.
When she reached the room, she poured out her clothes.
Dress, black shoes, black cloth shoes, white socks, blue shorts... She fell to the ground.
In front of him was a pile of blood-stained clothes that had been worn by people over ten years ago.
She put all her clothes in her pocket. He threw it back into the basement.
This time she didn't come in, just opened the door a crack and threw her pocket in.
There must be something wrong with the house. She opened the book, placed the talisman on her body, and went out.
He went to the wonton shop and ordered a wonton, then sat down. The boss seemed to be in his fifties, and he was definitely older than this building.
"Boss?"
"What happened to the building behind this one?" Xiao Xiao didn't know how to reply, so he could only ask directly.
"Which building?"
"It's the three-story red building at the back of the shop."
"Which building?" Too old. There were very few people living here. Everything that can be moved has been moved away. "
"Because of old age, rent is cheap?"
"No one would live in a house that looks like a grave, no matter how cheap it is."
"Why is there no one living here?" Xiao Xiao whispered.
"That building isn't suitable for living. I want to know who lives here and I want to get him to leave. "
"Why?"
"I don't know the details, but a lot of people died in that building, and nobody wanted to live there anymore."
