The girl took one step, Chai Xu had to take two steps to keep up with her pace, which made Chai Xu a little curious, although he was not tall, his legs were still long, and his feet were not slow when he usually walked, how could this petite girl be so brisk and leave herself behind.

“... You, you're walking too fast. ”

The streets of the winter night were originally very cold, and it was already more than twelve o'clock in the morning, so naturally there was no half a shadow, and from the moment she walked out, the girl stepped forward with an incredible pace, but she obviously didn't move her legs a few more times than herself, why couldn't she keep up at all?

"If it weren't for taking care of your leg strength, it's already here. ”

Chai Xu is stupid, although the place where he lives is not far from the old park, but it is not so fast, should you drive?

But he didn't want to say anything, and as soon as he opened his mouth, a gust of cold wind poured into his mouth, and he shivered with cold.

The two didn't have a superfluous word along the way, Chai Xu just followed behind the girl with all his strength, and thanks to walking so quickly, in less than 20 minutes, the two had already arrived in front of the overgrown pawn shop next to the old park.

In the dead of night, there is not even a street lamp in this old park, and the old pawn shop house at this moment is even darker, ghostly, looking at the girl with her hands in the pockets of her clothes, raising her feet and kicking open the door, looking fearless, Chai Xu feels more and more that she is not an ordinary person.

"What a stunned person. ”

Seeing Chai Xu standing outside the door, the girl reminded without looking back, Chai Xu followed into the inner room, and the same as when she came during the day, the girl asked Chai Xu to remember to close the door, and then the two walked directly into the main house full of shelves and goods.

This time, Chai Xu entered the door and found that the room was still bright, but the incandescent lamp overhead could not dispel the terrible atmosphere of this strange pawn shop, but the strange white color set off a strange atmosphere like a morgue for the dead.

"So slow. ”

The door of the inner room was pushed open, and Chai Xu found that Chang Ziming had one hand behind his back, and the other hand was holding a very retro teacup.

"I feel slow, why don't you go by yourself. ”

The girl was too lazy to talk nonsense with Chang Ziming, and after giving him a blank look, she leaned on the shelf next to her and closed her eyes to recuperate.

"I don't know what to say about you. Chang Ziming shook his head helplessly, and pretended to be aggrieved and said to Chai Xu: "Look, Officer Chai, I'm a poor person, my subordinates are not obedient at all, and I neglected Officer Chai, please forgive me." ”

After that, he raised the teacup in his hand and said hello to Chai Xu.

“... You don't talk nonsense, what the hell is going on in your shop!?"

Chai Xu took out the silk brocade handkerchief from his pocket and said to Chang Ziming straight to the point: "Those things that happened to me... Also, also, who the hell are you, this... This thing... What's going on again. ”

He spread out the brocade to reveal the two ancient coins lying still.

Chang Ziming put the teacup on the counter, pulled out his long cigarette stick from under the counter, conjured a match out of nowhere, and swiped it on the edge of the counter.

After lighting the cigarette stick, she shook the match, extinguished it and threw it into the corner, and the girl who saw this scene couldn't help frowning again, but she didn't say anything.

"Here, I'll see, what's going on. ”

Chang Ziming walked out of the counter and came to Chai Xu's side, he was much taller than Chai Xu, but the whole person was very thin and thin, he took a closer look at the copper coin exposed in Chai Xu's handkerchief, and the mouth of the cigarette stick was suddenly upturned, drawing an arc of a smile.

Then he didn't talk to Chai Xu directly, but straightened up, turned his head to look at the girl, and said with a smile like a child.

"How, how, look, I know that he will definitely break the aura of these two coins, look, Lingxue, is your boss like a god?"

Looking at this Chang Ziming's stunned appearance, Ling Xue's brows furrowed even deeper, she gritted her teeth, and said viciously: "Even if you win, you look shameless, for so many years, you have lived in vain, mentally retarded." ”

Chang Ziming didn't care about Lingxue's abuse, the most important thing was that he won the bet, but Chai Xu, who was left aside, was angry, yes, he was really angry, and he encountered so many inexplicable things in one day.

The key is that people don't take him seriously at all now, Rao is a person with a gentle temper like Chai Xu, and he can't bear it anymore.

"Hey, that's enough!" he yelled at Chang Ziming, who slowly turned his head, his expression recovering indifferent, and his tone responded with some impatience.

"Howling, yelling, in the middle of the night, and I'm not afraid of noisy neighbors. ”

...

Do you have an egg neighbor!?

Before Chai Xu could scold this, Chang Ziming had already raised his hand, looked at him with a smile and said.

"The doubts in Officer Chai's mind, although I can't answer them all, but I will do my best, this meal has to be eaten one bite at a time, and the questions, of course, must come one by one. ”

Chai Xu saw that he finally began to talk to himself seriously, and immediately sorted out his questions in his mind and asked the first question.

“... So, first of all, tell me if the things I encountered were ghosts!"

Chang Ziming pondered for a moment, and said lightly after taking two puffs of cigarette stick.

"Count... Yes, but it's also relative. ”

"Don't play dumb riddles on me!"

Chang Ziming smiled, respectfully conceded to Chai Xu, and behind him, I don't know when, a small chair actually appeared, which happened to be placed in front of the counter.

The meaning couldn't be more obvious, it was to let Chai Xu sit down and talk slowly.

Chai Xu knew that this was his Chang Ziming's territory, and this eccentric young man seemed to really have something, Chai Xu was a good man who didn't suffer immediate losses, although he was reluctant to be led by others, but he still compromised and sat on the chair.

Chang Ziming returned to the counter, and he tapped the table top of the counter with a cigarette stick and said.

“... Hey, I didn't play any dumb riddles with you, but according to what you know now, you can't transform it into an intelligible existence, so I said that they are ghosts, but they are only relative... Relative to the people you are now. ”

"What the hell does it mean... You say, relative to us? That is, you are different from me?"

Chang Ziming nodded with a smile, took another puff of cigarette and said slowly.

"How can I explain it to you, I haven't dealt with a rookie like you for a long time, no, it should be said that it is an ordinary human being, I am already disconnected from this world, let me tell you, you human so-called, ghosts, gods, souls, spirits, these things, all exist, but they are definitely not as mysterious as you think, um... Let me tell you this, for example, when you see thunder and lightning now, will you feel accustomed to it and not be moved by it at all?"

Chai Xu nodded, and Chang Ziming continued.

"But if you go back a long time, before humans mastered the art of making fire, if humans saw natural phenomena such as thunder and lightning, would they immediately turn their heads and worship them as miracles? ”

Chai Xu didn't know what Chang Ziming wanted to express, but he still nodded.

"Hey, do you still need me to continue, Officer Chai doesn't look at such stupid people, do you think, you humans now, just like the primitive people who didn't even wear pants at that time, those weird things, like primitive people seeing lightning and thunder, understand?"

It is impossible to understand, but what Chang Ziming wanted to express was still conveyed to Chai Xu a little, so he continued to ask.

"You haven't come back to me yet, you just said that we humans, that is, you are not human, or are you not human?"

Chang Ziming smiled and waved his hand, in the blink of an eye, Chai Xu's eyes, that is, on the counter, there was actually an extra cup of tea, Chai Xu rubbed his eyes, looked at the steaming bowl of tea very incredibly, and said with a little stammer.

“... This... Is it magic?"

"Magic, tricks, magic, alas, you can call them whatever you like, I just want to tell you that these things are actually no different in nature, only one you can explain, you can understand, and the other one, you can't explain, or you can't explain with your existing knowledge, as for who I am, it doesn't matter, and it's not in the category you should consider. ”

“... Then you say, what should I think about, I'm confused right now anyway, do you know what the hell I've been through today?!"

Seeing that Chai Xu suddenly became angry again, Chang Ziming slapped the table impatiently.

"I know, I know, I know a hammer, I was a little frightened at a young age, you whined and chirped a hammer, is Lao Tzu your father, you have to know what happened to you. ”

Chai Xu was blindsided by Chang Ziming's sudden change of temperament, and Chang Ziming, who had a quiet and peaceful face just now, actually spoke like a ruffian.

"You don't yell at Lao Tzu here, I can tell you, you walked into my shop by yourself, and everything you encountered was also taken by yourself, when did Lao Tzu ask you to sign a contract with that little beast? Did Lao Tzu stop you at that time?"

Chai Xu was a little unconvinced, this matter has no beginning and no end, it is too unfair for him to say this, after all, he didn't know anything at the time, he just did what a policeman with a sense of justice would do, how did this become his responsibility.

But... After thinking about it again, this Chang Ziming didn't seem to hurt him, but instead sent two ancient coins to save him, if he hadn't been stupid, he would have taken the two ancient coins to take a bath... There won't be so many things going on.

"It's... Boss, I'm very grateful to you about these two coins, so I'm really curious to know all of this now, can you please tell me, if you can't figure it out... I'll remember it for the rest of my life. ”

Chang Ziming stared at Chai Xu's serious look, and suddenly laughed.

"What a silly boy who doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin, okay, since you kid can also see those gadgets, it's okay... Well, I don't want to say this, but it's fate, I'll tell you what you can understand. ”

But at this moment, Chang Ziming looked out of the house with sharp eyes, and muttered a few words unhappily.

“... Plague, plague. ”

The girl also seemed to feel something, she twisted her neck a few times, and said to Chang Ziming.

"Boss, this counts as overtime. ”

Chang Ziming waved his hand impatiently.

"Okay, go ahead, get that old thing back to me, and if you can beat him to death, I'll give you a raise." ”

"Can't do it. ”

The girl dropped such a sentence, her figure suddenly flashed, and she ran out of the main house with great strides, and then Chai Xu saw her figure jumping lightly outside the house, and she actually crossed the high wall of the gate directly and disappeared without a trace.

Chai Xu was dumbfounded...

"This girl can't stop him, let's hurry up and explain your doubts, that old thing will come in a while, and I won't have time to talk so much nonsense with you." ”

Chang Ziming put down the cigarette stick, his face was as indifferent as ever, but he was a little less playful than before, and a little more dignified, and then, I saw him raise his hand, and his index finger was just a little bit in Chai Xu's eyebrows, and immediately, Chai Xu seemed to have fallen into the clouds, and his head buzzed, and then he didn't know anything.
