Chapter 90: Demon Keepers
Xu Xingkong didn't know why he was asking this question, perhaps, he just wanted to say something casually, the surrounding environment was too depressing and weird.
Xu Xingkong really couldn't imagine that in the heart of this bustling big city, there was such a desolate and gloomy place, desolate and desolate, the most uncomfortable thing for Xu Xingkong was the words 'morgue', generally speaking, the living are always unconsciously afraid of the dead, and Xu Xingkong is no exception.
Even though he has now gotten rid of low-level interests and become a glorious demon hunter, and has even experienced several life-and-death fights, he has several demon lives in his hands, and even a ghost has killed one, but he still hasn't completely gotten rid of the vulgar mentality of a small citizen's pseudo-house, for example, he has a natural fear of dead corpses or something.
Perhaps, it is necessary to add the pressure formed by the formation of the formation arranged here, the influence of the surrounding environment on the mood, and the intentional or unintentional hints of Lu Tongda's tone, etc., which made Xu Xingkong feel hairy in his heart.
Lu Tongda looked at Xu Xingkong playfully, stretched out his chubby thumb and nodded at his chest: "I." ”
"You, you mean what kind of Zhang family you rented it to?"
Lu Tongda smiled when he heard this: "It's not the Zhang family, but the Zhang family in Xiangxi, be careful when you speak, although the people of the Zhang family uphold the style that people don't offend me and I don't offend people, but they have a very good face, and once they are despised by others, they will blow up." ”
"Uh, slip of the tongue, I definitely don't mean to look down on the Zhang family. ”
"Hehe, you don't have to explain it to me, they just believe it. Back then, the Zhang family found me and wanted to use the resources of this hospital to raise ghosts and monsters, although my old man was kind and soft-hearted, but he couldn't give alms in vain, right? So, you know. ”
"But this hospital isn't yours?"
Lu Tongda puffed out his eyes, glanced at Xu Xingkong dissatisfied, and said: "Although this hospital is not mine, it is also not from Yushan Yuzhai, and my old man is still talking here." ”
Xu Xingkong was embarrassed, he seemed to have said the wrong thing again, and it could be heard from Lu Tongda's words that the relationship between Zawangguan and Yushan Yuzhai did not seem to be so harmonious, at least, there was still a conflict of interest, and this hospital did not seem to be in the hands of Yushan Yuzhai, but the people who sat and forgot to watch had the final say.
"I didn't mean that, I just thought that this leasing business should benefit the hospital?"
"Cut, the hospital wants soft sister coins, does my old man also want those useless tickets?"
Xu Xingkong silently burst into tears when he heard this, your old man is of noble character and regards money as dung, which is a typical full man who doesn't know how hungry a hungry man is hungry!
Xu Xingkong actually wanted to ask Lu Tongda, he didn't want money, so what did he ask the Zhang family in Xiangxi? However, this is basically a very personal question, Xu Xingkong still didn't ask in the end, in fact, he can roughly guess that it is nothing more than those things that the Zhang family in Xiangxi raised.
Xu Xingkong laughed dryly twice and didn't make a sound, and the two didn't continue the topic because they had already walked to a door.
It was a double-door gate, the iron gate painted with silver-gray anti-rust paint was mottled and dilapidated, and a large area of paint had peeled off, and the exposed part had been rusted, and then it was washed away by the rain, and the rust stained the concrete floor in front of the door yellow.
There is a button on the side of the door, the word 'doorbell' is written on the side with red paint, the button style is very old, I don't know if it can still be used, there is a decayed wooden sign on the side of the lintel, on which you can vaguely see the three words of morgue, and then up, there is an explosive screw under the eaves above the gate, on which is tied a bulb without a lampshade, and there is even a spider web on the connected wire.
Lu Tongda naturally pressed the doorbell button with his fat fingers.
"Ding-dong, ding-dong. ”
Through the door, Xu Xingkong could clearly hear the classic doorbell, which felt really weird.
After a while, there was a sound of footsteps behind the door, the footsteps stopped behind the door, and the door was not opened immediately, it seemed that someone was observing inside the door, but Xu Xingkong did not see a cat's eye on the door.
"Open the door, it's me. ”
With Lu Tongda's dissatisfied voice, the iron door creaked open half of the door, and a gloomy and rancid smell came out, Xu Xingkong subconsciously took a half step back, looking at the pale face that emerged from the door, that face seemed to be wearing a very flat mask, small eyes, small nose, pale mouth, a typical dead face.
The dead man's face turned his small eyes to look at the two of them, and pulled the corners of his mouth slightly, is that laughing?
"Lu Lao, today is not the day to collect rent, is it?"
The man's voice was unpleasant, like a piece of iron scraping the bottom of a pot, and it was greasy to listen to, and there was an urge to give him a hard blow to shut up.
"Business has come to the door, are you still rushing out?"
At this time, half of the man's body was also exposed, but he was still blocking the door, and he didn't mean to invite Xu Xingkong and Lu Tongda in, he looked at Xu Xingkong with the dead man's eyes with many white eyes and few black eyes, and his face was very disapproving.
"Just him?"
Lu Tongda waved his hand impatiently and said, "It's me, I want a parasitic Gu demon." ”
The man looked at Xu Xingkong suspiciously, his eyes slowly turned to Lu Tongda, Xu Xingkong felt that the person's eyes seemed to have a problem, and they turned much slower than ordinary people, like a rusty machine, which made people anxious.
"A parasitic Gu demon? ”
Lu Tongda tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Half a year, otherwise get out." ”
Xu Xingkong pouted when he heard this, the way these two people bargained was really blunt, but the man was not angry, but thought very seriously, and after a while, his body shrank back, and the half of the door opened wider.
"Enter. ”
Lu Tongda smiled, shook his head at Xu Xingkong proudly, signaled Xu Xingkong to follow, and he walked towards the door first.
Xu Xingkong shook his head helplessly, the realm of these two people is not understood by others.
The light in the room was very dim, and he couldn't see anything the moment he came in from the outside, Xu Xingkong wrinkled his nose and blinked quickly, opening up his true vision.
Lu Tongda looked back at Xu Xingkong consciously, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "There is no need to abide by those rules here." ”
"Huh, what?"
Lu Tongda was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly said: "I mean here you can use any non-offensive skills, including the ability to protect yourself, the Zhang family likes to communicate with the strong, use fists, if you are too weak, they will look down on you." ”
Xu Xingkong was embarrassed when he heard this, but it seemed that he didn't have any effective means of defense, so he subconsciously caught up and followed Lu Tongda, and it seemed that there was nothing to be ashamed of by leaning on the big tree and hugging his thighs.
Lu Tongda didn't say anything when he saw this, but smiled inexplicably.
At this time, the man's figure had long since disappeared, and all Xu Xingkong could see was a dark corridor, the corridor was about ten meters long, and there was light at the other end of the corridor, but it was very dim.
Xu Xingkong looked strangely at the depths of the corridor, and then looked back at the door behind him, is this building so big?
Stepping into the corridor and taking a few steps, Xu Xingkong was surprised to find that his prediction of the length of the corridor just now seemed to be wrong, because now it seemed that the corridor was more than twenty meters long, and it was still inclined downward.
Xu Xingkong's heart was full of questions, but he was embarrassed to ask, not because he was afraid of being laughed at by Lu Tongda, but because he didn't want to show his cowardice in front of the Zhang family in Xiangxi.
After walking forward for a while, it seemed that when he was halfway down the corridor, it suddenly became dark in front of him, and the light from the other end of the corridor seemed to disappear suddenly, and then a biting and fishy yin wind blew in his face, filling his nasal cavity and making people nauseous, and some strange noises could be faintly heard before approaching.
"Boring. ”
Lu Tongda muttered, and then waved his big hand very casually, his hand seemed to hit something, making a muffled sound, and then a rapid air flow sounded, and the originally oncoming wind suddenly changed direction, rushing past Xu Xingkong's ears and rushing forward along the corridor.
"Wow Boom"
A strange chaotic cry followed the gale away, and then an unwilling cold snort came from the depths of the hallway, and the hallway was quiet again, and the fishy smell seemed to be less intense.
Lu Tongda turned his head with a smile, looked approvingly at a large mosquito-like thing pinched in Xu Xingkong's right hand, and exclaimed with a very exaggerated expression:
"The boy is amazing, he caught a live one! This is a trophy, right?"
Xu Xingkong tugged at the corners of his mouth, there were more than a dozen insects and ghosts that rushed down the corridor just now, and they were slapped back by Lu Tongda's random palm, he just caught a big mosquito that Lu Tongda deliberately leaked over, what's so powerful? However, what does Lu Tongda mean when he says it is a trophy?
"Let that mosquito go, it's useless to you. ”
There was that ugly voice in the corridor, and there was really no emotion in the voice, Xu Xingkong looked at Lu Tongda, and Lu Tongda nodded.
Xu Xingkong let go of his fingers, and the mosquito, which was the size of a sparrow, buzzed away quickly.
Lu Tongda turned around and smiled:
"It's not a small guts, dare to catch the poisonous insects of the Zhang family directly with your hands, hehe"
Xu Xingkong clapped his hands vigorously, and rubbed his clothes hard, he was really afraid that there would be something unclean or poison on the mosquito.
"Inside, what am I afraid of when you're always there?"
Lu Tongda laughed a few times, looked at Xu Xingkong's right hand meaningfully, raised his leg and continued to walk forward, Xu Xingkong also looked at his right hand, and a trace of irrepressible surprise flashed in his eyes.
It turned out that there was a night owl's blue pattern hidden in his palm now, no wonder the mosquito just now froze as soon as he grabbed it with his right hand, I don't know when this night owl's blue pattern actually appeared on the **?!
