Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Water Ghost Asks for His Life
Luo Bin and the others returned to Jinqiao Building, packed up their things, and thought about their future livelihood plans.
My major is just a half-baked, I haven't been engaged in professional-related work for many years, and now if I want to start again, I'm afraid it's too late.
It is impossible to return to the old business, and the collapse of the previous company also proves from the side that the project itself has a big problem, and if there is not enough financial support, it is even more difficult to succeed and build industry barriers.
Lori, who was sitting opposite him, supported her head with her hands, and saw that Luo Bin couldn't think of an idea for a long time, so she said: "Uncle, you fight so badly, why don't you go and be a bodyguard for the boss of a big consortium? ”
Luo Bin listened casually, and secretly slandered himself: "If I take the risk to be a bodyguard for others, I might as well directly generate electricity for the country, anyway, being a bodyguard will be discovered sooner or later, it is really better to make some contributions to the country, maybe I can still top a small Three Gorges, work diligently every day, and maybe get a labor medal or something." ”
Lori saw that he didn't answer, so she said again: "If you want, I can introduce you to it." ”
Luo Bin listened to the music directly, and said with a smile: "Your father doesn't love your mother, and you also introduced me to a big customer?" After speaking, he seemed to think of something again, showing a shocked expression, "You~!
Lori frowned and listened to him, picked up a pen holder and smashed it at Luo Bin, then stood up resentfully, and went out without looking back.
Luo Bin dodged the oncoming pen holder and the flying pen, seeing that she was really angry, and shouted aggrievedly: "It's just a joke, as for being so atmospheric?
In the empty office, Luo Bin didn't decide what to do after smoking half a pack of cigarettes.
In the end, I reluctantly thought of consulting Chen Jianfeng to see if there was a good way, and only after making a phone call did I know that Chen Jianfeng was in country T, and the two politely said a few happy new years to each other, and hung up the phone.
Sitting in the office was not an option, so he put on his jacket and prepared to go to Yinshan Hui to return the car.
On the way to drive, he called Lori a few times, but they were all refused, it seems that he was not lightly angry, so he just let her be quiet first, and find a chance to apologize later.
Luo Bin parked the car in the garage of Yinshanhui, and hid the key in the shoe cabinet in front of Chen Jianfeng's house as agreed on the phone.
With nothing to do, he rode the long-lost big devil along the riverside and picked up the wind.
The scenery along the river is excellent, the sun is slanting in the west, and several sand carriers are lying in the middle of the river. People walking by the river are laughing in pairs, or taking pictures alone, some are walking babies, some are walking dogs, and everyone's faces are full of energy at the beginning of this new year.
Luo Bin was reluctant to miss the beautiful scenery in such a hurry, and saw that there was a South Bank coffee by the river, and the terrace on the second floor was semicircular, hanging in the air and extending above the river, which was indeed a first-class place to enjoy the scenery.
So he parked the car, walked in with his helmet in his hand, ordered coffee and sandwiches, walked to the terrace to pick a good spot by the river, and then crossed his legs to let himself fall into this comfortable and good time.
He didn't bother to take a few sips of coffee, but the man was drunk in the scenery, leaning back in his chair and falling asleep.
The sunset did not take into account the people who lingered in time, and slowly hid into the horizon, leaving only darkness. The unrestrained evening breeze became even more unscrupulous, blowing the bare flesh of the people wantonly, making the thinly dressed people shudder and shrink their necks.
The guests on the terrace either hid in the café or got up to leave, leaving Robin still asleep in his chair. Because of the relationship between his abilities and his body, he was asleep and didn't notice the chill of spring.
Several waiters in the café looked at Luo Bin through the glass wall for a long time, worried that the guests would freeze their bodies, so they pushed a work-study male waiter out to remind the guests to be careful of catching a cold.
The waiter was just about to push open the glass door, only to see a black shadow on the river like a mountain rising higher and higher, he felt strange and quickly pushed open the door to see what was going on.
As soon as the door was pushed open, the waiter saw the dark shadow sparkling in the light of the terrace, and he was sure that the tide had risen on the river for no reason, and he stopped in front of the café impartially.
Looking at the strange huge tide, he wanted to pounce on him, but the waiter only had time to shout to Luo Bin: "Run!" The tide had already slapped heavily into the café.
The waiter's hand pushing the door could not support it, and the tide poured in closed the door, and everyone in the café immediately ran away in shock, and the river soaked the surface of everyone's feet, and rushed downstairs down the stairs.
Fortunately, the tide only came, and the door was closed, and the river on the second floor was quickly drained, but this decoration is afraid that it will be ruined.
Speaking of Na Luo Bin, the waiter's cry had already awakened him, but what caught his eyes was a wave that covered the sky and the sun, and before he could decide whether to use his ability to escape, the tide had already wrapped around his body and carried him into the river.
Choking on two mouthfuls of river water, Luo Bin hurriedly kicked his legs and wanted to surface, but the river around him seemed to be alive, wrapping around his limbs in circles, and carrying him to the depths.
Luo Bin's Tai Chi Roulette under the umbilicus runs automatically to nourish his whole body, but Luo Bin knows that if he can't get out of trouble as soon as possible, his hypoxic body may not last long even if he has the ability to support his body.
It was dark all around, and Luo Bin, who was struggling wildly, suddenly thought in his heart that he had said to Jiang Mian that if there were monsters in the river, he would help him settle his debts, and leave a pension money for his father, and he was willing to sell his life to him.
Now that he has indeed paid off his debts, there are still more than 600,000 yuan in the bank, and his father's own savings are enough for him to retire in the countryside. Could it be that these are all the help of the ghosts in the river? Now I am afraid that they will come to ask for their lives to complete the deal.
As soon as he thought of this, Luo Bin stopped his hands and feet, if it was really like this, then he would be considered to be a well-deserved death today. After all, he couldn't survive at that time, and his father owed a bunch of debts, and Luo Bin didn't forget the loneliness and helplessness at that time.
He simply spread out his limbs, let the river around him be carried by the water, and slowly fell to the bottom of the river.
Luo Bin, who was stuck in the mud and sand at the bottom of the water, suddenly heard a sentence: "Scumbag!", which was a woman's voice.
The voice came strangely, Luo Bin struggled to ask who it was, but his open mouth was instantly filled with river water, and he couldn't say half a word.
Death is death, how can anyone still scold him for being a scumbag, Luo Bin admits that he has never failed a woman emotionally, and he has never owed the overnight fee he should pay. Could it be that this monster in the river wants to take my life and humiliate my name?
Luo Bin was suddenly ruthless, I TM let you take my life, you still scolded me, this deal Lao Tzu still didn't do it!
He urged the dantian roulette wheel to rotate wildly, and the current around his body was bulging, and the strange water flow of the coiled limbs suddenly dissipated.
Feeling that his body was unrestrained, Luo Bin clenched his hands into fists in front of his forehead, gritted his teeth and slashed, shouted angrily in his mouth, and poured out the abilities of his whole body.
The bottom of the river suddenly thundered, scattering in all directions. The river around Luo Bin also dissipated instantly, as if he was standing on land.
After venting the resentment in his heart, Luo Bin received the ability, and the surrounding river water poured into his body, even if his body was strengthened by the Shenyuan crystal nucleus, he couldn't help but snort.
Luo Bin, who was standing still, didn't care about the pain, slapped his feet in the water, and swam towards the river.
..............................................................................
Seeing that the tide receded, the people in the South Bank Cafe were calm for a while, and when they saw Luo Bin disappearing on the terrace, they hurriedly called the police for help, and a few bold people went out directly to the terrace to investigate Luo Bin's traces.
Later, when the river calmed down, many people went to the terrace and pointed at the river.
Just as the onlookers were talking and sighing, the dark river was like a dense thundercloud in the sky, and countless lightning bolts were intertwined. Before everyone could react, the river suddenly burst open, and the sky-high water column mixed with steaming heat splashed onto the terrace.
The people, drenched in the river, fled back to the café one after another.
Luo Bin swam quickly towards the surface of the river until it was exposed, and there were no strange currents around his limbs.
Luo Bin didn't dare to delay, even if he could only gouge, he also swam towards the shore with all his might, and now he only hated that the river was too wide, obviously it looked very close to the shore, but it was so far away.
He was worried that if he stayed in the water for a long time, he would be entangled by the monster again, and his limbs would be even harder to thrash the water.
As soon as he swam to the shore, a delicate hand reached out in front of him, and Luo Bin looked at the street lamp in the distance, and it turned out to be Wu Shuang from the Planning Bureau.
After going ashore, Luo Bin, who had palpitations, said thank you, hurriedly climbed the embankment, crossed the guardrail, and waited until he reached the runway along the river before stopping.
He glanced at Wu Shuang, who was following behind him, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Wu Shuang took a tissue to wipe the water stains on his hands, and said without hesitation: "There is a locator on your motorcycle, if you want to dismantle it, you can find it yourself." ”
Luo Bin was a little speechless, and said dissatisfiedly: "Are you still following me now?"
Wu Shuang took the wiped tissue and turned his head to look around, but he didn't find the trash can, so he walked up to Luo Bin, held the used tissue with his index finger and middle finger, stuffed it into Luo Bin's pocket, and then said: "The positioning was installed on the day you moved, and no one is following you now." Only someone in front of me called the police, and the case was naturally transferred to the Planning Bureau.
When he asked, Luo Bin was a little scared in his heart, and pulled Wu Shuang to walk quickly to the other side of the road, feeling that he was far away from the river, and then he said to Wu Shuang: "There are female ghosts in this water." ”
Seeing Wu Shuang's eyes with disdain, Luo Bin said carefully: "I was drinking coffee in the café over there just now, and the river water rushed up and rolled me into the river for no reason, and the river water actually wrapped around my limbs as if it was alive. Really, I didn't lie to you, I almost drowned just now. After speaking, he looked at Wu Shuang, but he didn't wait for the woman's reaction when she heard the ghost.
Wu Shuang just rolled his eyes and asked, "You know so much that it's a female ghost?"
When Luo Bin heard this, he hurriedly said: "Yes, when I was about to drown, she actually scolded me." ”
"What are you scolding?"
"Uh~, she~ She seems to be scolding me for being a scumbag. Luo Bin finished speaking a little embarrassed, and hurriedly defended again: "This has nothing to do with me, it is estimated that this female ghost will scold a "scumbag" when she sees a man, maybe she is a powerful ghost who only turned into a ghost after committing suicide by throwing herself into the river." ”
Wu Shuang looked at him curiously and asked, "Are you a scumbag, you don't need to explain to me, did you find anything else in the water just now?"
Luo Bin was speechless for a while, yes, what was he doing in such a hurry to defend himself in front of her.
He shook his clothes, and saw that people were gathering around here one after another, as if they were running to see the strange, and it was inconvenient to dry his clothes with his ability, so he replied casually: "It's gone." Then he shook off his dripping clothes and pants and walked towards the café.
Wu Shuang's cold voice came from behind him: "If she is a ghost in the water, then what are you?"
Luo Bin didn't stop, but he was shocked in his heart, yes, it is estimated that there are people in the water who also have special abilities. Earlier, I only thought of making a deal with the ghosts in the river, so that I fell into a misunderstanding and almost lost my life.
Thinking about this, he hated that person very much in his heart, and he actually wanted to harm his life for no reason, and next time he met again, he would directly call her a boiled pork slic.
