Chapter 25: Rust

Early morning.

The winter dew had not yet dissipated, and the rooster outside the house was still lying on the haystack, waiting for the moment when the sun was about to rise.

Chen Beibei was woken up by the sound of male rao crying.

"Is someone crying?"

Chen Beibei turned on the light, turned on the bamboo pipe where the fox was sleeping, and asked her.

Guan Hu shouldn't have woken up at the moment.

Chen Beibei waited for a while, and seeing that Guan Hu didn't answer, he opened the door alone and walked towards the main hall.

The cry became clearer, and Chen Beibei was sure that he had heard correctly.

"My wife in the middle of the night...... I was thirsty and wanted to drink water....... So I got out of bed and went to pour her water and drink......

When the man spoke, it was always mixed with the sound of crying, so it sounded intermittent.

Chen Beibei saw the three-tailed fox and the man who was crying.

Because the man was doing something like a three-tailed fox, Chen Beibei didn't go over directly. Instead, he stood around the corner and wanted to hear what was going on.

What's more, if you go out like this, a man who is crying is bumped into by others, which is still a little bad.

"I'll pour good water...... I handed the water to my wife, but she didn't respond at all... I thought my wife was asleep again, so I shook her to wake her up. It turned out to be no matter what I called her...... Shake her ...... She lay quietly...... Didn't react at all..."

The man continued, his crying never stopping.

"But what can we help you?"

The three-tailed fox asked.

Although Chen Beibei is an onmyoji, it is impossible for Chen Beibei to manage this kind of sudden death of his wife.

"I suspect my wife was killed by a youkai!"

The man pulled out a piece of paper, wiped the tears from his face, and said in a very serious tone.

If that's really the case.

Then, this man should have come to entrust Chen Beibei to help him find the monster and help his wife avenge it.

After all, it was his beloved wife who died, and this hatred, if there is no place to vent. In the days to come, it will be difficult to come out of the shadows.

"In that case, did you find any clues?"

The three-tailed fox asked.

"Hmm."

The man nodded, and continued: "When I was pouring water for my wife, I looked back, and at that time I saw something on my wife's bed. It looks like a piece of clothing, but it's very blurry.

I had just woken up, and I wasn't very conscious, and I thought I was just wrong. So didn't care.

And.

I was also on my wife's neck and saw some strange powder, which was reddish-yellow, resembling rust. And after my final examination, it has also been confirmed. The powder is rusty. My wife has been in a semi-paralyzed state since she had surgery for a cerebral hemorrhage.

I was worried that the nurse I hired would not be able to take good care of my wife, so I didn't go to work after that.

I've always been with my wife.

It's almost impossible to have rust on your neck. And there was nothing rusty in the room either. So, I think the rust is a bit left over from that youkai. ”

Nan Rao's mood gradually calmed down, and Chen Beibei listened to Nan Rao's story.

Walked around the corner.

"If you really think it's a youkai, then let's go to your house and have a look."

Chen Beibei looked at the man and said to him.

At this time, whether it is a monster or not, since they have already come to their own homes to ask for help.

If you don't go over and take a look, it's still not good.

"Well, thank you, master!"

When the man thanked him, he almost knelt down, but fortunately he was stopped by Chen Beibei first.

Although he has been absent as a Taoist priest.

However, in Chen Beibei's eyes, this identity is no longer a mysterious identity.

There's really no need to kneel or something.

When everyone gets along, call the master politely, and call the school directly by name at will, so there is no need to mess with those messy things.

After Chen Beibei finished the north, he took the man and planned to go to his home.

"Beibei, let's bring a few more people with you."

The three-tailed fox said behind him.

When someone comes to Chen Beibei's house, the gods generally don't call Chen Beibei the lord.

After all.

It's not like being outside at home, but when you're outside, even if you sometimes call the master. Because everyone doesn't know each other, they don't delve too much into it.

In this kind of small town.

Any random thing may be discussed by others, so no matter what, you must pay attention to it.

"No, everyone else is still sleeping."

North Chenbei Road.

Chen Beibei is now an introductory onmyoji, and some ordinary monsters can still be easily dealt with.

And.

I don't know if it's caused by a youkai. Therefore, Chen Beibei did not plan to bring other Shishen with him at this moment.

"Beibei, I'm already awake. I'll go with you. ”

The voice of the owner of the sea square rang out.

Chen Beibei only noticed at this time that there was another person in the corner of the original courtyard.

I don't know when the owner of the sea came to the courtyard.

Seeing that the owners of Haifang had already gotten up, Chen Beibei did not shirk it. If you bring the owner of Shanghai, you can also make the three-tailed fox feel at ease.

"In that case, let's go."

North Chenbei Road.

The owner of the sea is still dressed as a monk, and this kind of dress is still more suitable for doing this kind of ghost-related thing.

……

At this time, it was still dark, and the three of them walked together on the stone bridge in Qinghe Town.

"Two masters, please get in the car."

The man pointed to a car parked on the edge of the stone bridge and walked towards Chen Beibei and Haifang.

Chen Beibei doesn't know much about cars, but he still knows the Mercedes-Benz logo. As for the other models or something, I don't know.

Chen Beibei and the owner of Haifang got into the car, and the man drove towards Luoying City.

The man is very anxious and fast when he drives.

But fortunately, there are no people on the road now, and the traffic lights are all flashing yellow, so you can go all the way to school without worrying about wearing red lights or something.

At three or four o'clock, Sakura Castle has not woken up yet.

The whole city is sleeping, and such a city can only be so quiet for a few short hours.

Although there is a different kind of beauty in the cherry blossom city at this time, no one has the heart to appreciate it at the moment.

After all.

In Nan Rao's house, there is also a corpse, waiting for their arrival.

Along the way, everyone was speechless, and the atmosphere was a little depressing.

The car finally stopped in front of a private villa in the eastern district of Rakusura City, which is an area where the wealthy gather in Rakusura City. The house price here is also the most expensive in Rakusura City.

To be able to buy a villa here, this man should still be quite rich.

No wonder you can not work and take care of your wife.

Chen Beibei and the others followed the man in, this was the first time Chen Beibei came to a private villa in the eastern area of Luoying City. It feels like it's still very shocking.

In a word.

Compared to the northern area of Sakura Castle, this is a completely different world.

"My wife is here, come in with me."

Walking through the huge living room, he finally came to his wife's room, which was very clean.

Almost all of it was cleaned without a trace of dust.

When he first saw this room, Chen Beibei couldn't help but think of the fact that the man's wife had rust on her neck.

"Surely there could be no rust on his wife."

Chen Beibei thought so.

If everything that the man is doing is real, then this thing may really be done by a monster.

After all.

If it's a youkai, then everything that is impossible will become possible.

The moment the man walked into the room, he couldn't help but cry again. In the end, he lay on his wife's body, looking very painful.

Probably the relationship between the two of them was very good before.

Chen Beibei and the owner of Haifang had no way to comfort the man, so they could only stand silently at the door, waiting for the man to calm down.

"It must be...... The monster killed you. I'll get your revenge! ”

The man lies on his wife's body, and so on. The sound is not very clear because it is filtered by the quilt.

It didn't take long.

The man calmed down and finally left his wife.

"Two masters, you see...... These rusts ......"

The man's words pointed to his wife's neck and said to Chen Beibei and Haifang.

It does look like rust!

But.

At this time, rust alone doesn't prove anything. After all, humans can easily get rust too.

Chen Beibei opened his spiritual eye and checked everywhere in the room.

Didn't find any youkai inside.

"There are no youkai in the room now, so I guess they've left."

Chen Beibei looked at the man and said to him.

If it was really the yokai who killed his wife, then the yokai left after killing the person. It's also completely normal.

But.

If that's the case, it's going to be hard to find the youkai.

"Are you already gone......

The man said with some frustration.

"Donor, let me recite the mantra for your wife a few times. This will also save her from the pain of wandering in the world. ”

The main road of Haifang.

"Well, thank you, master."

The man looked at the owner of the sea and said to him.

Subsequently.

The owner of the sea square recited the death spell in the room, while Chen Beibei and the man waited in the living room.

"Can you have something to do with your wife?"

Chen Beibei looked at the man and asked him.

The man was a little bit, and then began to talk about himself and his wife.

"My name is Gao Jin.

Born in a family with a good family background, he has always been pampered by his parents.

When I was seventeen years old, I met my wife.

Then.

She came to work at my company, probably because she had just graduated, so she looked very clumsy.

On one occasion when she was printing a document, she misprinted it.

As a result, the company lost a lot of money.

She was fired from the company, and I met her on the street.

She was wearing an advertising agency and handing out flyers.

It was very hot.

She was covered in sweat, but, even so, she was still trying to hand out flyers.

I passed by her and she gave me a flyer.

When I reached for it, she was in my arms......"

"Did you fall?"

Chen Beibei looked at the man and asked him.

The reason why men talk about these things that seem to be so good must be because, before these things happened. Men have actually begun to pay attention to her.

Otherwise.

How could a man remember that a girl in the company was clumsy?

"Didn't you fall...... She was suffering from heat stroke at that time! ”

The man said.

"I think that's when I fell in love with her in that moment. In the days that followed, the two of us lived very happily. And she's not a clumsy girl, just because she's more introverted. ”

The man continued.

The story told by the man is still very plain. Such stories, in everyone, more or less will happen several.

But.

From the narration of the man, Chen Beibei can still feel the man's love for his wife.

"Donor, the mantra has been recited."

The owner of the sea came out of the room and closed the door.

……

I searched for a while at Nanrao's house, but in the end I didn't find the monster.

The owner of the sea square has also finished reciting the mantra of death.

Chen Beibei and the owner of Haifang had no choice but to leave Nan Rao's house temporarily.

After all.

The monster is no longer here, even if the monster does something, Chen Beibei and they can't do anything.

"Let's hope this rust will help us find the killer."

North Chenbei Road.

"Master, do you think it's a monster?"

The owner of the sea asked.

At this time.

Chen Beibei and the owner of the sea were walking on the streets of Luoying City, because they didn't help the man catch the monster. So Chen Beibei and they didn't collect money, and when they left, they didn't let the man send them.

"Perhaps."

Chen Beibei looked at the sun that had just risen in the distance and said slowly.

Chen Beibei did not tell them about the recent frequent deaths of young women in Luoying City.

Over the course of a few months.

Seven young women have already died.

If you add this one, it's already eight.

This is obviously abnormal, and Chen Beibei prefers to believe that this is a serial murder case.

As for.

It is unknown whether it was a human or a monster who committed the crime.

"Master Haifang, you want to go home, I want to go somewhere alone."

Chen Beibei looked at the owner of the sea square and said to him.

"Master, where do you want to go?"

"I just want to go around Sakura City, you go back first. Don't worry about me. ”

North Chenbei Road.

"Hmm."

After the owner of Haifang, he walked towards the bus stop not far away, where there is a bus to Qinghe Town. However, the owner of the sea shop touched his pocket, only to realize that he seemed to have no money.

Chen Beibei was thinking about going to the shroud shop at this time, so he didn't notice that the owner of the sea square was standing on the bus platform with a blank look.
