Chapter 121: Non-existent agreements
Du Jie was a little puzzled, where would the mayor go at this time, he was very anxious to see him, it must be related to the current matter, who else could he ask for help? So, Du Jie followed, and the mayor actually went to the hotel, although it was close to midnight at this time, but because Xu Hao's body was found in the room, the entire hotel lost its owner, which made some tourists panic. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info the previous part of the people who left, just said, this Xiangning has a mysterious unknown power, very terrifying, so they will leave immediately, but these people who stay are some people who don't believe in superstition at all, but now the boss has committed suicide so inexplicably, which will inevitably make people have all kinds of suspicions.
When the mayor arrived at the hotel, many tourists gathered in the lobby to speculate about the cause of the boss's death. When they saw the mayor push open the door and come in, they hurriedly rushed up, hoping that the mayor could come out and preside over the overall situation, after all, the owner of the hotel died, which means that the entire hotel is now unmanaged, no matter why he committed suicide, just the problem of food and accommodation for tourists will become very tricky. For most of them, they came to Xiangning to have fun on vacation, but now it is obvious that the money is going to be spent in vain.
"Mayor Mare.... You're here at the right time, give me an explanation"...
"yes..... If he dies like this, who will take care of our food and lodging problems?"
"Return the money.... This vacation really sucks"...
"Return the money.... Return the money...".
In an instant, the tourists were very excited, but the mayor was not worried about the unstable state of the tourists, he had other more important things to do, and he must not be trapped here by these people now.
"Okay.... Shut up. No one forced you to come over for a vacation, and now that such a thing happens, no one wants it, in short, you can rest assured, tomorrow I will start arranging for someone else to come and take over the work of the hotel, and your money will not be blind, hurry back to sleep, don't do anything else."
Tourists didn't expect the mayor to be so strong, and in their impression, consumers should be resolute and right, so it seems to be the other way around. However, the mayor's words worked, and the reason why people were so excited was only because they were shocked by this incident, and then they were scared by the strange suicide of the boss and the horrific things that the people who had left a while ago. Being drunk by the mayor of the town also made people sober up a lot, but most of the people packed up their things directly after returning to the room, even if they paid a hotel deposit or something, they had to leave here quickly. Xiangning is not as rosy as it seems on the surface.
However, the mayor is not worried about Xiangning's economy, he just wants to solve the horror that is about to happen quickly, and it is up to them whether people want to go or stay. If they can leave within these two days, maybe they will escape, if they continue to stay, once the sacrifice is not completed, the evil spirits will come and persecute the living, this is also a helpless thing, the mayor has been protecting them for too long, and now he just wants to protect himself. No matter how high-sounding the reason was before, now that they are faced with the choice of life, ordinary people will choose themselves and abandon others.
Then, after the crowd had dispersed, the mayor went to the back door of the hotel again and walked out. Seeing this, Du Jie knew what the mayor of the town planned to do, he should go to the secret passage to find the old man, hoping to get his help, after all, he was the only one in the entire Xiangning who had a relationship with the mysterious person, and he also had that mysterious power, and he might be the only person who could save his life. Although after the conversation a few days ago, the mayor of the town has basically determined in his heart that the old man will not help him no matter what. But this is the same as when he was forced to help the mysterious man with the sacrifice, there is no choice, and the mayor has to make a last ditch fight anyway.
It was still the same forest of trees, and the hill, and the mayor quickly found the dirt bag that opened the secret passage, and the basic situation was the same as last time, the hill cracked a gap in the middle, and the mayor looked around, and then walked in quickly. Of course, Du Jie also followed him closely. Perhaps, the old man is really the last hope for this matter.
However, when a person and a ghost came to the underground space, they were shocked by the scene in front of them and froze in place, only a few days had passed, and the old man was skinny and looked very weak. What happened to him?
"How did you end up like this"?
The mayor frowned and asked the old man in a loud voice.
"I.... I... I'm afraid I won't be able to survive tonight, but this... That's fine, let me take all the sins away alone."
The old man's faint voice came out, and if it weren't for the silence here, it would be impossible to hear what he was saying. But even if he didn't say anything, the mayor knew that he was about to die, this was absolutely not good, only the old man could help him, how could he allow the old man to die like this?
"Things are out of control, the day after tomorrow is the deadline for the sacrifice, but there is no sacrifice at all, only you can save me, Xu Hao has committed suicide, the agreement signed at the beginning, we have broken the contract, or I will follow in Xu Hao's footsteps in a few days, but my life and death alone is not important, but it will affect more innocent people, you must help me."
The more the mayor spoke, the more excited he became, and even clenched the iron fence with both hands, the desire for life in his heart was really very strong.
"Forget it... Now you don't want to use other people's lives as an excuse to protect yourself, people are selfish, if you weren't afraid that you and your loved ones would be threatened with death, you wouldn't have come this far, I have already told you that this day will come sooner or later, but you didn't listen to me, after you left two days ago, I used the few lives left as a price, and deduced the whole thing again, the agreement you said didn't exist at all, just because of your cowardice and selfishness, It's what it is today, and it's no wonder that anyone else is there."
Sure enough, things are just as Du Jie thought, the agreement is just a means for Qi Ming to manipulate Xu Hao and the mayor, there is no connection between life at all, and the breach of contract will be violated by evil ghosts and so on. However, then again, if it was Du Jie who encountered this incident at that time, he asked himself that at that time, he would not have any doubts about Qi Ming's words. (To be continued.) )
