Chapter 207: Slice Contract

Mystery reporter

At noon, there were no clouds, and citizens laughed at the three orange warnings of heavy rain, thunder and lightning and winds hanging on the weather forecast. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Beginning at two o'clock in the afternoon, the city was suddenly hit by a torrential downpour, and the sky and the earth were white, and between the tall office buildings, they couldn't even see the people on the other side.

At this moment, no one wants to be in the open air unless there is something important to kill, and the people who have to go in the streets are rushing to a place where they can take shelter from this heavy rain.

On the overpass, however, stood a young man, very thin, of medium height, without an umbrella, but under such rain, even if he used an umbrella, it was only in vain.

He silently looked at the tall building opposite.

The building has a history of more than 100 years, and although it has survived several wars, it has fortunately been preserved. Because it is a historical building, it was never demolished and built into the same high-rise buildings as the surrounding area, and at first it was inhabited here, but later people moved away, and a real estate company bought it and then attracted merchants to move in.

All people think that such a location, such a stylish old house, whether it is a Western restaurant or a boutique, will be a very good choice.

But no matter what is sold here, there is only one fate - to go out of business.

In the end, the whole building was black, in such a downtown area, it was so quiet that it made people's hearts hairy, and later, I don't know who this building belonged to, in short, it has been dark for two or three years.

This is a local legend, some people say that it has bad feng shui, and some people say that when it was built, people died, in short, there is nothing to say, but there is no evidence, it is just an urban weird talk.

Some time ago, there was a thick crack in the faΓ§ade of this building, the city government listed it as a dangerous house, ready to start demolishing, when the workers who entered the internal inspection walked to the first floor, they inadvertently knocked over the water cup in their hands, and found that the water quickly seeped into the ground, only to find that there was an underground secret room in this building.

When the underground secret room was opened, everyone was shocked, in the underground secret room, there were eight sarcophagi, the style of the sarcophagus was also very special, carved with strange patterns, experts from the Cultural Relics Bureau came and said that this sarcophagus has a history of at least 2,000 years, and it is a commonly used pattern in the funeral customs of the Serbs in the Western Regions in ancient times.

In the city located in the south of the Yangtze River, it is already strange that there will be sarcophagi of Serbs from the Western Regions, and eight more have appeared.

Not only that, even experts in the cultural history of the Western Regions feel very strange, the Serb sarcophagus has never been carved with patterns, they are all painted, why does it appear here, but it is different?

On the third day after the sarcophagus was discovered, new news broke that someone had died in the basement.

The deceased was a staff member in charge of guarding the eight sarcophagi, and before the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics removed the eight sarcophagi, they were divided into several shifts of two people to patrol all night to prevent the theft of the artefacts.

It is said that at about two o'clock in the morning that night, the patrolling people heard a strange noise in the basement, and the two were worried that there was a thief, so they went down to check together, but they didn't want to be dead and crazy, the cause of death was a sudden heart attack, and the crazy one kept talking about red jade and red jade in his mouth, and he couldn't answer anything when asked, and now he can only stay in a mental sanatorium.

No one knows why, and the Municipal Bureau of Cultural Relics also found that the eight sarcophagi were like taking root, and it was impossible to let them leave the ground a little, and the only way now was to wait for the upper part of the house to be dismantled and cleaned up, and then use large machinery to try.

In today's society, the speed of message transmission is faster than the growth of wings, and everyone in the city knows that there is a ghost building near here, which has caused a death and an injury, so no one will go here when the weather is fine, and would rather go around in a circle and pass through the overpass, let alone stand in front of it.

The young man standing in the rainstorm, named Du Shuyan, is an online media reporter.

Online news is exclusive and fast.

And if you want to attract the attention of others, that is, it must be strange and weird, and the more evil it is, the better, even if you find out in the end that it is just a joke that scares you, at least you will earn clicks.

And the click-through rate is the highest standard for evaluating his work.

Recently, no celebrities have gotten married, and no celebrities have divorced, and things related to politics have accidentally hit the red line.

Last month's click-through rate was already a candle in the wind, and this month's eye has seen half of it, and it is also a rhythm to be played. I'm afraid that if I continue like this, I'll have to go home and eat myself.

Du Shuyan had to put his brain on the ghost building, although he had been fired by the major media when he died last time, but he had news in his hand: after the death of someone, sad cries would float from time to time in the building.

Tomorrow the building will be demolished, and today is the only day to undo the tragic end of this month.

The ghost building is now closed to people, and there is a big lock on the door.

The podium on the first floor was once rented to a coffee shop, and the door was a whole piece of glass, but now the glass has long been broken, and it is only perfunctory with wooden boards.

There was no one on the street, Du Shuyan walked in so openly, and no one found it.

It was raining heavily outside, and it was dark, and it was two or three o'clock in the afternoon, but it was dark inside the building as if it was eight o'clock in the evening, and the whole building still retained the pattern of the former shops, separated one by one.

Through the faint light, you can vaguely see that there are some things that were not taken with you when the merchants moved out. It's a mess.

At the end of the dark walkway, there is a staircase, at that time, in order to match the style of the whole building, so the staircase is also selected hollow iron style, walking on it, making a "bang" sound, echoing in this empty building, even Du Shuyan himself felt hairy when he heard it.

At that time, the shops on the second floor were mainly boutique women's clothing, and some female colleagues had come to say that the clothes here were more expensive than the shopping malls, and any one cost two or three thousand.

Walked through a few shops, and found nothing, and walked forward, and found a headless person standing in the corner, Du Shuyan was almost scared to death, turned on the flashlight on the mobile phone and found that it was just a plastic model, Du Shuyan was greatly relieved, at this time, the mobile phone screen lit up, it was the company's WeChat group, today is the weekend, this week's reading data has been counted.

Du Shuyan unfortunately came to the bottom again, and after the data was sent, he was followed by the boss's words: "The top three, I want to see your improvement plan, otherwise, our department will not support idlers." ”

Don't raise idlers, which means that you have to be fired, this kind of small website itself is not formal, and the expulsion will also be a scoundrel without compensation, originally he also intended to leave, but, because of the bottom of the performance and left, he himself can't get over this hurdle, to go, but also to do a beautiful performance, throw the data on the boss's face, and go in a beautiful way.

After showing loyalty and determination to the boss, Du Shuyan continued to grope forward, not far ahead, there were many shadows, and there seemed to be another model standing there, still wearing clothes, is the merchant fleeing, and the goods are not accepted?

Du Shuyan walked to the model's side, turned on the flashlight to see what kind of clothes this was abandoned by the store, the flashlight turned on, and it was shining on the model's hands, although the hands were white and slender, but the bones and green tendons on the hands were too real.

The model was facing away from Du Shuyan, and when she saw "it" with long hair in a shawl, Du Shuyan couldn't help but reach out and grab the model's shoulder to turn her around, and put her hand on the shoulder of "it", and found that it was not good, it was actually warm.

Sure enough, the man turned his head, it was a girl, and suddenly saw a living person, Du Shuyan was almost about to scream, but the sister screamed first, and pressed back the scream in Du Shuyan's throat alive.

"Ahem......" Du Shuyan cleared his throat, "Why are you here?"

"There's something more powerful here, so you'd better go quickly. The girl said.

Du Shuyan heard from her words that the click-through rate could explode: "What is the best thing?"

"You're here for the underground sarcophagus, too?"

"Well, sort of. ”

"The pattern on the underground sarcophagus is not for the blessing of the tomb owner, but for suppression, although I don't know what it is now, but if it is really dismantled directly tomorrow, and the sarcophagus is pulled out by machinery, I am afraid that something will happen. ”

"Oh. ”

I thought that after speaking, Du Shuyan would leave honestly, but I didn't expect that he just answered and stood there, and the girl had to urge again: "You go quickly." ”

"Oh, I'm a journalist, and if I can't edit any more explosive news, I'm going to be fired and go home to eat myself, so I'm here to see it. ”

The data just released really made Du Shuyan feel very, very annoyed, even if the girl in front of him suddenly turned into a goblin, he would ask her to wait for a while, wait for him to finish taking photos and writing drafts, and then send them out before doing it.

Seeing that he refused to leave, the girl had no choice but to say, "Then you and I are behind, don't walk around, don't touch each other." ”

Du Shuyan saw her turn around again, and didn't know what was painted on the wall, so he turned on the flashlight to illuminate her, and found that she was drawing strange symbols, which looked like a person from a distance, but up close, it was a mess of lines.

"What are you painting?" Du Shuyan asked, "Suppressing ghosts?"

"No, the spirit-grabbing one. ”

"But isn't the sarcophagus in the basement? What are you painting on the second floor?"

"Right now we're right above the sarcophagus. ”

Du Shuyan inexplicably felt a chill under his feet.

Soon she finished painting, and just stood quietly in the dark, waiting.

Du Shuyan held his breath nervously, for a long time, he couldn't hold his breath, he couldn't help but speak: "My name is Du Shuyan, what's your name?"

"Mo Li. ”

"Are you from the Taoist family, or from the ghost hunting family?"

"You're an interview?"

Mo Li glanced at Du Shuyan, who was holding a recorder in his hand with a serious face, and frowned a little impatiently, "If there is any movement for a while, you hide to the side, don't move." As he spoke, he took out a yellow talisman from his bag and patted it on Du Shuyan's head: "This talisman can keep your seven souls and six spirits alive, don't let it fall." ”

Du Shuyan was standing honestly against the wall with Zhang Huang Fu on his head, and suddenly felt that his image was probably a bit similar to the subject matter of the work of the corpse chaser in Xiangxi......

He took out his mobile phone and wanted to take a selfie, switching to selfie mode, and on the big screen was his thin face, ridiculously hanging a piece of yellow paper.

This mobile phone has a face mode, which can automatically capture the face in the lens, and now there is only Du Shuyan in the lens, but there are two yellow frames to capture the face, one frame is on Du Shuyan's face, and the other is on Du Shuyan's shoulder.

"This is a broken function, and it can be canceled. Du Shuyan casually pressed one for himself, and wanted to take another photo of Mo Li, when the camera switched to the past, the screen was full of yellow frames representing capturing human faces, and counting carefully, there were seven, Mo Li was now facing away from him, so it was not recognized by the system.

Seven, plus the one on his shoulder, is eight.

And the sarcophagus in the basement...... It's eight......

Thinking of this, Du Shuyan felt that the hairs on his whole body stood up.

He said in a trembling voice, "That ......"

Mo Li turned his head to look at him, and said impatiently, "Go to the toilet." ”

"It's not...... I think the eight people downstairs have all come up......"

Mo Li took out the rune paper from the bag, and quickly bit his fingers, and quickly drew something on the rune paper, after the painting was finished, it was raised in the wind, and for no reason, a cyan flame rose from the yellow paper, Mo Li's fingers held the rune paper, and it didn't seem to be burned by the flames, the cyan flames swayed, and eight black shadows were cast on the wall.

It seems that it is a person and not a person, Du Shuyan honestly listened to Mo Li's instructions, stood there motionless, and watched Mo Li take out all kinds of small bits and pieces from his bag, and now it seems that he wants to communicate with the eight shadows, but the spirit board used for communication was quickly broken, and it seems that they don't want to chat.

The floor under his feet shook slightly, and, the more the earthquake became more and more severe, it seemed that something wanted to jump up from the bottom, Mo Li was unsteady on his feet, and happened to fall into Du Shuyan's arms, Du Shuyan only felt that Wen Xiang Nephrite was full of arms, her body, fragrant, soft, Du Shuyan only felt that two soft balls rubbed his arms, although he was single for more than 20 years, he also knew what it was, and he was so shocked that he didn't dare to move for a while, for fear of being scolded by Mo Li as a hooligan.

"Let go of me!" Mo Li quickly got up, took a few steps forward, and another rune paper swung out, and eight strong air currents suddenly appeared out of thin air around her, shooting towards her in an enveloping momentum, with such intensity, if she was shot at the vital point, she would definitely die.

And now, she has no way to avoid it, so she has to grit her teeth and prepare to carry it.

Suddenly, she was tightly hugged and protected in her arms, and then a warm red light lit up in the dark space, accompanied by a leisurely chanting: "Please send the saint thousands of people to the filth, the evil does not exist, the ten thousand demon kings, protect their lives, the jade is clear and filthy, the road of Tianzun is through the Xuanxuan, there are thoughts and all enlightenment, refining the quality of the immortals, and becoming a vajra body, the great sage Taiyi saves the suffering Tianzun to surpass the difficulties ......of the three realms, and the five sufferings of hell are solved."

Those eight qi kept circling around the two of them, but they couldn't do any substantial harm to them, and as Du Shuyan finally recited "Cheng'en Recitation", the red light just now shone even more radiantly, and the entire second floor was illuminated by this red light.

Under the red light, the eight black shadows on the wall twisted, as if struggling, screaming, and then fading and fading, and finally disappearing into nothingness.

Du Shuyan still hugged Mo Li tightly and didn't let go, and after a long time, Mo Li patted the back of his hand: "You can let go." ”

The hand still didn't let go, Mo Li struggled: "Let go." ”

In the end, Mo Li broke away from his arms: "You rascal!"

But I saw Du Shuyan's eyes closed, because of the strength of her struggle, Du Shuyan was carried forward and fell straight down, so frightened that Mo Li hurriedly supported him and let him pill on his lap, his heart was still beating, and his snort was completely gone, if he couldn't breathe on his own, Du Shuyan's life would be confessed here.

Mo Li couldn't, so he had to lift Du Shuyan's neck, let him open his mouth slightly, take a deep breath, connect his lips, and blow into Du Shuyan's mouth in one breath.

After blowing several times, Du Shuyan let out a long sigh, his eyes opened slightly, Mo Li looked at him, and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Du Shuyan's voice was very weak, and Mo Li put his ear to his mouth, only to hear him say: "You are a hooligan." ”

Mo Li jerked his leg in embarrassment, his head slammed on the floor, and made a loud noise, Mo Li quickly picked up his head and put it on his lap again: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, did I get hurt?"

"I was just joking. Du Shuyan said with a bitter face, "This joke is too big." ”

"Can you move?"

"I don't have the strength for the time being, don't worry, it'll be fine for a while. Du Shuyan felt the softness of the pillow on the back of his head, and he was in a good mood, and suddenly remembered his work again, and he asked, "What is this......?" What's that stuff?"

Mo Li looked at him: "You dispersed them, but you don't know what they are?"

"I don't know, the things I just talked about were taught to me by my grandfather when I was a child, and I don't know what they mean, he said that I am light in eight characters, and if I encounter some ghosts and gods, I will read this. Du Shuyan sighed, "This mess is so hard to memorize, I don't know how many times I was beaten by my grandfather to remember." ”

"What's that red light?"

Du Shuyan motioned to Mo Li to pull out the necklace from his neckline, the necklace pendant was a stone, held in his hand, and there was still residual temperature: "This is also given to me by my grandfather, every time something strange happens, the stone will turn into a fire, this is not as good as your green fire, although it will not leave scars on the skin, and it will not burn the clothes, but it is really hot to death." ”

"Nanming Lihuo Necklace!" Mo Li called out the name of the necklace, "You are Du Yangyu's grandson!"

"Hey, my grandfather is actually more famous than me? Anyway, I'm also an Internet celebrity. Du Shuyan didn't expect that his grandfather, who had been in the mountain village all the year round, would have a beautiful girl in the city who knew her.

Mo Li asked, "Your grandfather, did you mention to you that there is a family surnamed Meng?"

"Well, it seems that there is, I remember one time when I was a child, he came home very happily and said that playing chess with someone won a daughter-in-law for me. Later, when I went to high school, I liked a girl in my class, and I didn't do it yet, but somehow he found out and beat me up, saying that I was cheating and sorry for Lao Meng's granddaughter. Ouch mom, I'm so wronged. ”

Thinking of the inexplicable beating at that time, Du Shuyan was angry: "Does the legendary daughter-in-law know that she has a husband like me?"

"Just knew. ”

"What?" Du Shuyan looked at her in a daze.

Mo Li lowered her head, and her expression couldn't be seen clearly in the dark, but Du Shuyan felt that she might want to eat herself: "It's me, and it's not your grandfather who won the chess, it's your grandfather who lost the chess and lost you to me!"

Du Shuyan was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "What age is it now, it is illegal to use the population as collateral to gamble on winning or losing, in order to prevent your grandfather and my grandfather from being punished by law, let's just treat it as nothing." ”

"No way!"

"Why?" Du Shuyan and the second monk were puzzled, could it be that this girl had a very retro mind, so she had to marry him in vain?

Mo Li pointed to the necklace and said, "This chain belongs to my family, and my grandfather gave it to you as a dowry, you have to return it to me!"

"Originally, it was nothing to return it to you, but no matter how you say it, it was also given to me by my grandfather, and you can't say that what is yours is yours, since it was my grandfather who took it from your grandfather, then I should give it to him, and then transfer it to your grandfather." Otherwise, what if you're just a liar who knows there's such a thing?"

What Du Shuyan said is very reasonable, but the person who can reason with girls and persuade girls has already become extinct because he can't find a wife.

"I don't care, this chain is my family's ancestral heirloom. ”

Mo Li was obviously a normal girl just now, why did she suddenly become such a scoundrel now, Du Shuyan had no choice but to say: "That's not as good as this, I'll go with you to see your grandfather, I will say, I want to divorce the marriage and return the necklace to you, do you think this is good?"

Mo Li thought about it and nodded in agreement.

Although he was very reluctant, Du Shuyan still had to get up from Mo Li's lap, and Mo Li asked, "Can you walk?"

"If you don't clock in after work, you will have to deduct fifty yuan!" Du Shuyan gritted his teeth, "I have to climb back!"

Seeing Du Shuyan's difficult appearance of staggering even when he stood up, Mo Li wrapped his arm around his neck: "I'll go with you, and when you climb to the office, you have to cross zero o'clock." ”

Du Shuyan leaned on her happily: "Then please leave it to you." ”

As soon as the two of them walked out of this small building, there was a cracking sound behind them, and the two looked back, the original crack cracked even bigger, and continued to extend upward, Du Shuyan, who was still alive and dead just now, could only climb, suddenly like Bolt possessed, pulling Mo Li to run forward, just ran out of more than 20 meters, and heard a loud noise behind him.

This 100-year-old building collapsed in the evening when the rainstorm stopped.

The moment the small building collapsed, the bricks and stones splashed far away, Du Shuyan once again protected Mo Li with his body, this time, he quickly let go, Mo Li looked at him suspiciously: "Why did you run so fast just now?"

"I didn't know, but suddenly my physical strength was restored, maybe it was the strength that the eight spiritual qi gave me the moment it dissipated. Du Shuyan pressed his heart that was beating wildly because of lying, and said seriously.

made an appointment for a time and place to meet the next day, and the two separated.

In the evening, Du Shuyan saw an overwhelming amount of news about the collapse of the ghost building on social networking sites, all of which were taken by passers-by and posted by themselves, and the information was very scattered, mixed with the opinions of cultural relics experts, historians, folklorists and others.

No more time to wait!

Du Shuyan synthesized the views of experts from all sides, and processed the personal experience of Fang Cai, and soon, a "The Truth About the Collapse of the Ghost Building" was freshly released.

In just three minutes, the click rate exceeded 100,000, and he jumped from the penultimate to the first in an instant, Du Shuyan breathed a long sigh of relief, and went to see it after a while, and the comments were varied, but the main thing was that he was making it up:

"Editor, are you from writing supernatural novels? ”

"It's as if I've seen it with my own eyes. ”

"I thought I clicked on the novel channel, but if you look closely, yes, it's the first news. ”

"Editor, did you post the news to the novel channel, and the novel to the news channel?"

"Editor, your boss is going to deduct your salary. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Tsk, human beings always don't want to believe that there are things in the world that they haven't seen, and what they haven't seen becomes non-existent. Du Shuyan rubbed his chest, and there was a burning pain there.

From childhood to adulthood, this is the second time that Nan Ming's fire necklace has lit up, and it is so bright, perhaps because of the cooperation with the holy mantra.

The last time it lit up, it was because I didn't do well in the midterm exam, and I didn't dare to go home, I walked around, and somehow strayed into a wild cemetery in the mountains, the green ghost fire fluttered on the ground, and when I saw people, I adhered to it, and Du Shuyan saw a little girl in red clothes sitting on the grave bag and crying.

At that time, he was too young to be afraid, but when he saw that the little girl looked very cute, he leaned over and asked, "Why don't you come home so late?"

When the little girl saw him, she rubbed her eyes and said, "My father is going to marry me to someone I don't know." ”

"Who are you marrying?"

The little girl pointed to a mound next door, and said with a crying voice, "People over there." ”

On the grave over there, there was a young man sitting with a depressed face: "They forced you in, what can I do, I'm also desperate." ”
