Chapter 52: The Curse
"Hey, what are you doing, and you're ready to pay for it before you even start eating?"
Bai Xinyu ran back after asking about the situation in front, and then saw Yue Jiuling looking down with a red hundred-yuan bill, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
"Hey, come back to your senses, I just asked, it turns out that this store is holding an anniversary celebration, and the whole site is 5% off, so there are so many people, do we still want to eat?"
Yue Jiuling saw that Bai Xinyu was back, so he put away the banknotes in his hand, and said with a smile: "Eat, why don't you eat, your coupon can be discounted by up to six percent, this anniversary is five percent off, so cheap, you must eat it." ”
"Well, since you want to eat, let's line up, tsk, it's just that there are too many people. Bai Xinyu held Yue Jiuling's arm a little and complained that there were too many people, but for the sake of eating, he put up with it.
There are a lot of people waiting in line, because this store has a discount today, but not all of them are so patient to queue up, there are many people who don't want to eat this because they have to wait too long, so they leave the line, and their impatience is exactly what Yue Jiuling and Bai Xinyu are looking forward to.
"Let's go, let's go, it's going to be a long time, hurry up, Oye!
Bai Xinyu was staring at the couple in the team in front of him, muttering in his mouth, and was very happy to see that the couple finally waited impatiently to leave the team.
Yue Jiuling also saw the couple leaving, she stood on tiptoe and looked ahead, and then said, "Tsk, there are a lot of people walking, and if you walk a few more, it is estimated that there will be an hour before you can reach us." ”
Bai Xinyu also nodded: "Persistence is victory, we must eat sauerkraut fish tonight!"
After waiting for more than half an hour, the line finally arrived at Yue Jiuling and the others, only to hear the waiter inside shouting at the door: "No. 136, is No. 136 here?"
Bai Xinyu was still watching the video on his mobile phone, but as soon as he heard someone call the number, he immediately raised his hand with the waiting sign: "Here, we are here, is it our turn?"
The waiter was a young man, he looked at the list in Bai Xinyu's hand and nodded, "Yes, please come in with me." ”
The waiter led the two into the restaurant, then ordered food for them, and left when they were done.
"Whew~ I'm finally able to come in, and I'm tired after waiting outside for so long. ”
Bai Xinyu fiddled with the chili sauce ingredients that the waiter had just delivered: "By the way, I calculated just now, this meal is not very expensive, I can treat myself, I don't need AA this time." ”
As a national civil servant, Bai Xinyu has to admit that the two of them must be the poorest among many comrades, so poor that they even have to eat.
Yue Jiuling originally heard Bai Xinyu say that she had a treat, and she wanted to nod happily, because she was also a poor ghost, but she suddenly thought of the hundred-yuan bill she had picked up just now, and then shook her head and said, "No need, let me have a treat this time, I just picked up the money." ”
"Oh, it's really fake, so lucky, how much money did you pick up?"
Yue Jiuling took out the hundred-yuan bill and showed it to Bai Xinyu: "Na, this is it." ”
Bai Xinyu said with a smile: "Yo, what about good luck, I was able to pick up the money, why didn't I pick it up?"
As she spoke, she reached for the money, and as soon as she opened it, she saw the yellow paper note inside.
"What the hell is this?"
Bai Xinyu took out the yellow paper talisman and opened it, and then saw the strange talisman drawn inside: "What is this?
Yue Jiu Ling said with a faint expression: "I guess it's not a talisman, but a curse." ”
"Curse?" Bai Xinyu was depressed: "Who would put the cursed thing in the money, you shouldn't have become some kind of stand-in or something." ”
Yue Jiuling nodded and said, "It's very likely, let's go back and ask Xiaoyi later, I don't know much about this." ”
Bai Xinyu returned the money and the yellow paper talisman to Yue Jiuling and said, "What does it matter what he is, are you still afraid of this monster? ”
As she spoke, the waiter was already serving them the table.
When Yue Jiuling looked at the sauerkraut fish that made her drool, she immediately put down the money and yellow paper talisman in her hand and went to eat the fish with chopsticks.
"Wow! It's still delicious, I like this dish!"
"No, if I weren't too poor, I would have eaten every day. ”
In the middle of the night, Yue Jiunian, who was still struggling to catch the train, was sleeping, and suddenly, she woke up suddenly, and then grabbed the short sword 'Shuang'er' in front of her chest, staring at a black shadow on the top of the bed with sharp eyes.
The black shadow was actually a ghost, and the ghost was probably attracted by the breath on Yue Jiu Nian's body, and it probably wanted to 'eat' Yue Jiu Nian.
"Tsk~ I really dare to come over to any ghost. ”
Yue Jiu Nian scolded in a low voice, she knew that her current body was because of the aura, so in the eyes of those ghosts, she looked like a delicious cake, but this cake was not something they could eat if they wanted to.
Yue Jiunian didn't want to pay attention to the ghost, but the ghost got closer and closer to her, and even revealed her true face on the roof of the car, a face full of blue and purple, eyes that were about to explode, and a mouth that was cracked and deformed.
Yue Jiunian couldn't bear the gaze of this ugly thing on the other side, she grabbed Shuang'er and got up and swiped at the ghost, and then the ghost was scared away by Shuang'er who didn't even have a scabbard yet!
"Heh~ You still want to beat me up like this?"
After Yue Jiunian drove the ghost away, she planned to rest again, and she guessed that the ghost should not dare to come again, because even if she didn't make a move, the breath on Shuang'er's body alone could make the ghost afraid.
It's just that what Yue Jiunian didn't expect was that her estimation was wrong this time, because she was awakened again not long after she fell asleep again, and then as soon as she opened her eyes, she saw that there were ghosts all around her!
"What are you trying to do?!"
Yue Jiunian, who was surrounded by many ghosts, didn't feel scared, she only felt very impatient, because her sleep was disturbed, so the whole person was very unhappy!
Those ghosts seemed to be nearby geismos, and they didn't know why they came up to this train, but when they all showed greedy eyes at him, Yue Jiunian knew that he definitely wouldn't be able to sleep well tonight.
The train was very quiet, and most of the people were already asleep at this time, Yue Jiunian saw that the people in the dim carriage where he was sleeping were sleeping, so he got up.
She performed a sleeping spell on the people in the carriage, and then prepared to start violently enforcing the law for the people.
There was a ghost who saw Yue Jiu Nian standing up, so he immediately stretched out his ghost claws to catch Yue Jiu Nian, but before he could get close to the target person, he was thrown out of the car window by Yue Jiu Nian with one hand by the neck!
And the other ghosts saw that their companions were beaten through the window, so they all surrounded them together, planning to attack in a group, but they still underestimated Yue Jiunian's combat effectiveness, and soon they were all thrown out of the train!
"Heh~ I don't know what I can do. ”
"Hmm~ This charm of yours looks a bit like a charm for borrowing longevity, you picked it up on the street?"
Mu Xiaoyi took the yellow paper talisman that Yue Jiuling gave her and looked at it and said, "As far as I know, this talisman has been banned for a long time, if someone uses it, then that person must be a person with improper intentions." ”
Yue Jiuling was sharing durian with Jairus at this time, and when he heard this, he said, "Oh, it turns out that it is a forbidden technique in your human world again." ”
Since the two of them ate a big durian together, they often eat durian in the office, and fortunately, there are no people who hate durian among their colleagues in the management office, otherwise the two of them would have been reported a long time ago.
Jairus also said, "Is this curse any danger to the person who picks it up?"
Mu Xiaoyi took the charm and returned it to Yue Jiuling and said: "The person who placed this spell actually wants to borrow the life span from others, that is, to borrow the remaining life span of the person, it may be borrowed for a year or two, or it may be borrowed all, this is to see how bad the person who placed the spell is, but this spell is useless if you pick it up." ”
"Why is it useless? Don't I have a lifespan to lend to him?" Yue Jiuling was puzzled.
Mu Xiaoyi said funny: "You are not a human, the lifespan of monsters is different from that of ordinary people, the lifespan of ordinary people is mastered by the book of life and death in the underworld, and the lifespan of monsters is normally something that no one can master, the lifespan of monsters lies in his cultivation, the more powerful the cultivation, the longer he will live, do you think he has the ability to borrow your lifespan?"
Yue Jiuling also understood when he heard this: "Okay, I understand, then this curse is equivalent to being invalid for me." ”
"Well, that's right, it's just that the person who gave you the spell found out that his curse was invalid, and he probably came to you, and you have been carrying this charm for the past few days, and when he shows up, you will be caught, and then you can hand it in and receive a reward." ”
Like these bad people who use forbidden techniques to harm people, they have been suppressed and arrested, and if they are caught, they can be rewarded if they are handed over to the top of the Metaphysical Management Office.
Yue Jiuling originally wanted to tear the charm when she heard Mu Xiaoyi say that this curse was invalid for herself, but after hearing that there would be a reward for catching a bad guy and turning it in, she immediately put the charm away.
She said with a righteous look, "Well, I will pay attention, for the sake of the country and the people, I must catch people!"
Jianwei knew that Yue Jiuling was so active for money, so she smiled and teased her: "Are you sure that you are for the country and the people?
Yue Jiuling said with a serious face: "No, you misunderstood me, I am really thinking about the people and the country!." ”
