Chapter 282: Dripping Blood
Maggie had been holding back and not speaking before, but when she saw the other party's actions, she finally couldn't help but ask, "What is this for?" Is the light broken? ”
"Huh? You are a foreigner, how can you speak Chinese so well?! Zhou Qingli didn't seem to grasp the point, but was surprised by the other party's Chinese.
But after saying that, he saw that the other party was looking at him, as if he was waiting for him to answer, so he could only scratch his head and say, "It's nothing, isn't it all like this in the movie?" The middle of nowhere, the shabby messy furnishings, the room has no lights, only dim kerosene lamps – it's too much of a hassle, so I use candles instead! That's mysterious enough! ”
A remote office? It's remote enough! If you don't have a detailed address, no one can find it!
Shabby and cluttered furnishings? Look at the inside of this house, the furnishings are indeed messy enough, and the various books piled up on the ground don't know if it's intentional, or if I'm too lazy to put it on again.
As for lighting a candle to pretend to be mysterious......
Maggie didn't bother to complain, but fortunately she was recommended by an acquaintance, if someone else came, I'm afraid that the first time I saw it, people would turn around and leave, how could they sit here and wait for reception?
In her opinion, even if this person is not doing ordinary people's business, maybe not too formal and upright, but the most basic neatness should always be there, right? However, this office named after the owner is not touched at all! It's still the same old saying, if she hadn't been introduced by an acquaintance, she would have turned around and left!
Maggie felt powerless for the first time, but she still thought about it, since she was all there, she naturally couldn't leave without doing anything.
However, at this moment, the parrot that remained on the table pierced his master's words and shouted: "Zhou Qingli, don't you have no money to pay the electricity bill, and you can only light candles when the electricity is cut off?" ”
These words came out of the mouth of a parrot, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
Maggie glanced at the environment in the house again, if you don't turn on the lights, it's because you don't have the money to pay the electricity bill, so the office is so remote, I'm afraid it's also because you can't afford to rent a house, right? The house is so messy, nine times out of ten, it's because it's too lazy to clean up?
"Haha! Don't worry about these details! ”
Zhou Qingli smiled and wanted to dispel this embarrassing atmosphere, but after a while, his face suddenly became serious again, and he said: "No matter how Miss found here, as long as I believe it, my business ability is very strong!" As long as the price is reasonable, I can help you get it done! ”
"Bragging! Brag! As soon as he had finished speaking, the parrot began to cry.
“…… You don't talk to no one when you're dumb! Sleep your sleep away! Next time, Zhou Qingli was a little annoyed and angry, and scolded the parrot.
"Dead Zhou Qingli! Kill a thousand knives! Dead otaku ......" After the parrot was reprimanded, he immediately let go of his voice and scolded, and a series of scolding did not take a breath.
"Ignore it!" Zhou Qingli also seemed to be used to being scolded, and said deafly: "So, what do you need help with?" Whether it's demon subjugation, ghost catching, or hexagram or something, I can do it all! ”
In fact, Maggie also really felt a little headache, and had an urge to get up and leave, which showed that the other party finally got serious, so she exhaled a long breath, but did not speak, but put a badge that had already been held in her hand on the table.
Zhou Qingli saw the pattern on the badge, sighed lightly, played with it in his hand, and after confirming that it was true, he asked, "Miss, was introduced by my third uncle?" ”
"Yes!" Maggie returns.
"You met my third uncle abroad?!" When this sentence was spoken, it seemed that he was a little surprised.
"If your third uncle is called Hong Daqing, then that's it!"
After receiving a positive reply, Zhou Qingli couldn't help but mutter: "This third uncle is really powerful, I haven't ever been abroad, and he even went abroad!" ”
Listening to the other party's muttering, it seemed that there were signs of going off topic again, Maggie hurriedly knocked on the table and asked, "So, can you take my commission?" ”
"Yes! Of course! Get you a 20% discount! Zhou Qingli hurriedly replied, put the badge back on the table, and let Maggie take it back.
"Say it! What do you want to delegate? Zhou Qingli asked: "I don't think you are an ordinary person, if you really want me to subdue demons or something, it is impossible for me to come to me, an unknown person; Although I am really strong! I think you're trying to entrust me with finding something, right? ”
"You're right!" Maggie said, pulling out a photo, "I hope you can help me find what's in this picture!" ”
Zhou Qingli took the photo and saw that the object photographed was a Western coffin.
The coffin in the photograph is clearly not used to collect human corpses, as it is only the size of a palm, and it is displayed on a stand with a silver cross on it, and the scene looks like it is in a church.
Although the shape of this small coffin is ordinary, the same as an ordinary coffin, but the material is obviously extraordinary, and it is very gorgeous, with a protruding silver cross on the surface, intricate and gorgeous silver patterns around it, and the edge is also inlaid with fine gemstones.
This thing is so small, although it is not known what it is used for, it is obviously not a mortal thing, perhaps similar to the items used by Taoists to suppress and seal.
However, Zhou Qingli did not ask about the role of this object, after all, it had nothing to do with the commission, and only asked: "Is it dangerous to touch?" ”
"As long as it doesn't open, it's not dangerous!" Maggie said, "There's a drop of the vampire lord's blood sealed inside, and although it's only a drop, it's already very dangerous!" ”
"Lord Wang...... Zhou Qingli frowned and thought for a moment: "...... It's equivalent to a thousand-year-old demon, right? "Of course, this conversion is not very accurate, but the approximate strength should be about the same.
"How did you lose it? Stolen? Robbed? ”
"Someone stole it!" Maggie said, "And it was stolen by a bunch of people who didn't know what it was!" ”
"Are you kidding?!"
Zhou Qingli stood up suddenly, this news is serious, if the person who stole it knew what it was, it would be fine, after all, he knew the severity and would not open it rashly, but now the person who stole it didn't know what was stored inside, in case the coffin was opened because of curiosity, then the matter would be big!
What is the concept of a thousand-year-old demon appearing in a city with a population of millions? Even a drop of blood would be enough to stop the development of the situation.
"This coffin can't be opened so easily, is it?" Zhou Qingli felt sweat on his forehead, but then he thought, if it was really so serious, it would be impossible for the West to send only one woman to look for it, right?
"It's not as serious as you think!"
Sure enough, Maggie's next words comforted him.
"A coffin is very difficult to open unless it is destroyed by brute force; But in the light of it, a coffin is more valuable, and no one would want to destroy it by force. In addition, there are two layers of seals that play a protective role, the first layer is on the surface, if someone carries out strong destruction, then I can immediately know the address and be able to rush to recover it, and the other seal is for the blood inside, even if the coffin is opened by real violence, the blood of the prince will be suppressed by the seal, and it will take an hour to activate. ”
"Alright! That's good news! Zhou Qingli sat down: "Then tell me about the clues you can provide!" ”
Maggie nodded, and in the flickering candlelight, she began to tell Zhou Qingli the clues she knew.
