Chapter 23: Reward Doubled

"Xu Lang, someone is staring at us!" Qin Xiaolu exclaimed.

Deng Youliang appeared?

Xu Lang was overjoyed and asked anxiously, "Where is it?" ”

Qin Xiaolu pointed with his hand, "Right behind you!" ”

Xu Lang immediately turned around, and with a flash of strong light, the dim shroud shop suddenly became much brighter, and the various incense candle ingots on the shelves of the store were clear at a glance.

Following the direction of Qin Xiaolu's finger, he fixed his eyes and was slightly disappointed.

There were people staring at them behind them, but it was just a paper man!

As for why Qin Xiaolu felt that the paper people were staring at them, it was because the eyes of the paper people were smeared with scarlet paint, and in the dim environment, they were like a pair of red eyes staring at people.

Xu Lang said with relief: "Don't be nervous, it's just a paper person." ”

Qin Xiaolu stepped forward to take a look, and sure enough, it was a paper person, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But after taking a closer look at this paper man, she found something strange and said: "Strange, this shroud shop has been burned like this, why does this paper man look the same as the new one?" ”

Xu Lang secretly thought, the task scene set by the system Jun is strange and not surprising.

"Huh?" Hearing Qin Xiaolu's exclamation again, he said, "This paper clothes are actually real?" It's not made of paper! ”

"Oh? Is it? Xu Lang also felt a little curious at this time and walked over.

Qin Xiaolu touched it and said, "This dress is actually cold, soft and silky, it is a silk product." ”

"You're careful." Xu Lang praised her and said, "Let's continue to go inside and have a look." ”

With that, he turned around and continued to explore.

But after walking a few steps, he found Qin Xiaolu standing at the paper piercing man, motionless, as if he had lost his soul.

"Officer Qin?" Xu Lang screamed softly.

"Qin Xiaolu, let's go."

Xu Lang shouted again.

But Qin Xiaolu still had his back to Xu Lang and stood at the paper piercing man, not moving at all.

"Why? What's so nice about this paper piercing man? ”

Xu Lang walked back to Qin Xiaolu's side and patted her on the shoulder.

But at this time, he found that Qin Xiaolu was surrounded by a trace of black qi, and the black qi gradually became foggy...... Immediately after, Qin Xiaolu moved, ignoring Xu Lang completely, but hobbled towards the door of the shroud shop step by step.

Well?

Xu Lang was taken aback, and said secretly, she doesn't seem to be herself? Could it be that something forcibly seized and controlled her body, trying to use her as a carrier to escape from this Meng Po Village?

"Qin Xiaolu!"

Xu Lang strode to Qin Xiaolu, raising his hand to grab Qin Xiaolu's arm.

Qin Xiaolu seemed to have eyes behind his back, and his body slightly avoided Xu Lang's outstretched arm, and a strange "ho-ho" sound came out of his mouth.

"Don't meddle with things!" Qin Xiaolu stopped, his beautiful face suddenly distorted, and his eyes widened with a hideous expression, staring at Xu Lang with fierce eyes, "Be nosy, let you die!" ”

Qin Xiaolu let out a roar, waved his arms, and pounced towards Xu Lang.

"Qin Xiaolu! Wake up! ”

Xu Lang crossed his hands and blocked Qin Xiaolu's arms, but at this time, Qin Xiaolu seemed to be born with great strength, and under several consecutive beatings, Xu Lang couldn't resist it at all.

Defeated and retreated.

He believed that Qin Xiaolu at this moment was definitely possessed by ghosts!

I don't recognize myself, I'm crazy, and I'm born with great strength, isn't it possessed by ghosts or what?

Xu Lang was forced to retreat to the corner of the shroud shop, and his heart turned sharply, the ghost thing that can be possessed in the shroud shop at the moment, except for Deng Youliang, there is absolutely no second person!

Thinking of today's mission, he immediately shouted: "Deng Youliang!" ”

With a loud shout, Qin Xiaolu's arms that were attacking Xu Lang suddenly stopped and hung in mid-air.

There was a reaction, and sure enough, it was him!

Xu Lang was secretly overjoyed, and shouted again: "Do you remember your wife, your daughter, and your mother-in-law?" Deng Youliang! ”

"German? I... I'm sorry for you! ”

Suddenly, "Qin Xiaolu" made a voice that looked like a man and a woman, and then slowly squatted down, holding his head in both hands, and shouted in pain, "I don't want to, I didn't mean to, I don't want to, I really don't want to...... Ah, it's hot, it hurts!! ”

After a hysterical scream.

Qin Xiaolu seemed to have collapsed, and the whole person fell to the ground.

Immediately after, Xu Lang found a wisp of black smoke rising from her body, and gradually, the illusory black smoke condensed into a figure, and finally turned into a person.

He's not a human anymore, he's supposed to be a ghost.

He was wearing a T-shirt blackened by smoke and fire, and slippers on his feet, and his body loomed as if it had been blown by the wind, as if it could dissipate at any moment.

Xu Lang can see his face clearly, it is the man in the photo, Deng Youliang!

"Water, give me water, I'm so hot, I'm so thirsty!"

Deng Youliang stretched out his hand tremblingly and begged Xu Lang: "Please, give me a sip of water to drink, the fire is really big, it burns so uncomfortably!" ”

Xu Lang guessed that Deng Youliang was a human being, and his sober consciousness was still at the scene of the fire that night.

"Water, please, save me, give me water!" Deng Youliang prostrate on the ground, begging Xu Langyang in pain.

Xu Lang was puzzled: "Big brother, where can I find water for you?" ”

Suddenly, he patted his head and couldn't help but laugh dumbly.

Isn't the task to pour Meng Po soup for him to drink? Isn't Meng Po soup just water? This Nima is like a game NPC, reminding me to hurry up and hand in the task!

Immediately, he took out the marching kettle prepared in advance from his backpack, squatted in front of Deng Youliang, lifted his neck, opened his mouth and poured it into it.

Meng Po soup really worked.

After Deng Youliang drank it, he instantly calmed down.

He slowly opened his eyes, and there was no cruelty, unwillingness, and guilt in these eyes, but like a newborn baby, clean, innocent, and full of curiosity about everything in front of him.

"Where is this? What happened? I...... Who am I? ”

Deng Youliang was talking, and he wanted to stand up, but like a feather, the whole person floated up lightly and suspended in front of Xu Lang.

Xu Lang found that his body was much thinner than just now, and even in some places, it was already transparent.

He replied truthfully: "This is Meng Pozhuang, your family's shroud shop, your name is Deng Youliang!" ”

"Meng Pozhuang? Shroud shop? What is that? ”

Deng Youliang looked dazed, shook his head and said, "Who is Deng Youliang?" ”

Xu Lang smiled bitterly and spread his hands, no wonder they all said a bowl of Meng Po soup, forgetting the events before and after his death, this Deng Youliang's memory seems to have returned to zero.

Deng Youliang: "The time has come, I should go." ”

Xu Lang asked, "Where to go?" ”

Deng Youliang: "Go where you need to go!" ”

As he spoke, Deng Youliang's body was as light as a feather, and he floated towards a smoky and black wall in the store.

Immediately afterwards, the wall turned into a black hole, as if it was a door to another world, sucking Deng Youliang in!

When Xu Lang ran over to look, the wall was back to its original state, there was no black hole, and Deng Youliang was gone.

That's it?

He walked back to where Qin Xiaolu was lying, picked up the marching kettle on the ground, and then picked up Qin Xiaolu and walked out of the shroud shop.

When he walked out of Meng Pozhuang a few steps, there was a sudden rumbling sound in his ears, and he saw a row of old faΓ§ade houses including Meng Pozhuang collapsing and collapsing into ruins in an instant......

Xu Lang was dumbfounded: "Damn, it's not, right?" ”

The movement was a bit loud at this time, Xu Lang hugged Qin Xiaolu, who was still unconscious, and quickly left the scene and walked out of the old street.

Fortunately, this is a deserted place for a long time, and there are not many people in the middle of the night.

But it was also bitter for Xu Lang, he didn't drive over, so he could only hold Qin Xiaolu and trot all the way, running and walking, it was estimated that it was three kilometers before he got a car. It's just tired of being a dog!

Qin Xiaolu hadn't woken up yet, so he could only take her back to his late-night paradise first.

After returning to the amusement park, Xu Lang put Qin Xiaolu in a lounge on the first floor of the office building.

Then go back to the room on the second floor, sit down in front of the classic computer, and hand in the task!

Dingβ€”β€”

System prompts.

Immediately afterwards, the system message: "Congratulations to player Xu Lang, complete the hidden task, and the reward for random tasks will be doubled!" ”

it! Reward doubled?

Xu Lang's chicken is frozen!

Xu Lang: "Quick, say your reward, let Lao Tzu love you for once!" ”

On the system screen of the classic machine, a prompt pops up again after flashing several times:

"Random Mission Reward: One employee of the Midnight Park, with a random thriller project experience coupon X1."

When Xu Lang saw it, he actually rewarded the employee with one?

If you double it, isn't it two?

It's beautiful, it's beautiful!

Then he urged: "There is also a double reward, don't forget." ”

Dingβ€”β€”

The system message came as promised: "The hidden task trigger reward is doubled, however, the employee has unique non-repeatability, so the employee reward is not doubled, and the random thriller project experience coupon X2!" ”

"Nima...... Are you kidding me? ”

Xu Lang opened his mouth wide, looked at the old machine in disbelief, and complained: "Employees have the only non-repetition and can't be doubled, so why did you tell me that the reward was doubled?" ”

The system doesn't respond anymore.

Xu Lang knew that he began to habitually pretend to be dead again.

Damn, let his dick fuck him, we can just get used to it,

He opened the list of items in the Late Night Park APP and saw that the employee rewarded by the system was actually the corpse of the shroud girl in Meng Po Village before.

In the information about the corpse of the shroud woman, in addition to introducing her situation, it also briefly introduces the fire in Meng Pozhuang and the tragic death of the family.

It turned out that her name was Chen Jieman, the daughter of the old woman Meng Yuanmei, and the mother of the girl with pigtails. Chen Jieman is also the chief designer of Meng Po Zhuang, specializing in designing the best tailor-made shrouds for high-end customers.

And Deng Youliang is his husband, and he is also the culprit of the fire in Meng Pozhuang!

It turned out that the business of Mengpozhuang shroud shop had always been good, especially the shroud designed by Chen Jieman, which was a major feature of Mengpozhuang. But later, on this street, several shops that sold incense candles, ingots, paper money, and customized shrouds were opened, and Meng Pozhuang's business was affected.

Chen Jieman, who has always had a strong personality, in order to compete with other families, worked the materials of shrouds, and she decided to focus on the customer groups of rich and noble families to order shrouds, so she switched to 100% pure silk satin material to make shrouds.

But who knew that this decision was opposed by her husband Deng Youliang, Deng Youliang believes that the customer base of Fugui Shouyi is limited, and if you give up the mass market and focus on the niche market, it will only make Meng Pozhuang more and more dead.

But Chen Jieman has always had the final say in the store, and she ignored Deng Youliang's opposition, bought nearly 100,000 silk raw materials in one go, and continued to boldly implement her own decisions.

When Deng Youliang saw that the warehouse was full of silk purchased by Chen Jieman at a high price, he immediately became angry, and after drinking with friends at dinner and complaining, he went home that night to reason with Chen Jieman.

After drinking wine, it is naturally easy to cause quarrels, and Chen Jieman has always been strong, and the quarrel between the two escalated into a fight in the end.

During the beating, he accidentally knocked over a cup of cold white on the table, causing a short circuit in the socket and a sudden fire. There are funeral supplies in Meng Po Village, which are all flammable, and there are piles of silk in the warehouse, which are also flammable.

After the fire, the fire could not be controlled at all, a raging fire, from the front store to the backyard, a family of four all died in the fire!

……

After knowing the ins and outs, Xu Lang couldn't help but sigh with emotion, this death is too unjust, right?

A family should have a discussion, and a family should be humble to each other.

But Chen Jieman and Deng Youliang's family quarreled over this trivial matter, and even started to do it, but in the end, they lost the lives of the family, why bother?

Xu Lang was a little embarrassed, in his opinion, this tragedy could have been completely avoided!

Although the task was completed and the reward was obtained, after learning about what happened to their family, Xu Lang's mood was still a little heavy.

"The boss has completed the task! Great! ”

Huang Xinxin suddenly appeared and floated down from the ceiling.

Xu Lang glared: "Willing to appear?" In order to find help for you, I had to drain the water of the artificial lake and fish you out of it? ”

"I hate it, how can the boss compare people to the eight kings in the artificial lake?"

Huang Xinxin pouted and said coquettishly, "People don't mean to avoid the boss." It's just that the system has regulations that people are not allowed to participate in this task. You know, the system can make the old lady's soul fly away in minutes! So people can only watch the boss fight alone......"

Sure enough, the system is playing tricks.

Xu Lang looked at Huang Xinxin's awe of the system, and said secretly, sure enough, everything is not so simple.

"Okay, don't be complaining~ waves, what about the ghost woman and the ghost sister?" Xu Lang asked again.

"Didn't you hear me, boss? These grandparents and grandchildren are hugging and crying with the newcomer in the utility room! After all, they are also a member of the group! It's miserable to cry! Huang Xinxin said.

Xu Lang listened carefully, and sure enough, the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren were crying. As soon as this ghost cries, it is not a small movement, otherwise how can there be a ghost crying wolf?

"Not good! Qin Xiaolu is still in the rest room on the first floor! Xu Lang patted his head, because the utility room where the three ghosts of the ancestors and grandchildren were located, and the room where Qin Xiaolu was resting, there was a wall separating it!

These three ghosts are crying together, can Qin Xiaolu next door be good?

Immediately, he pulled his legs and ran downstairs.

Sure enough, outside the utility room on the first floor, there was already a swishing wind, ghosts crying wolves, and it was particularly terrifying to hear.

Boom!

Xu Lang pushed open the door of the lounge hard, only to see that Qin Xiaolu had already been frightened awake, squatting in the corner, holding his head with both hands, when he saw Xu Lang coming in, he suddenly felt that a big savior had come, and he cried and shouted: "Xu Lang, you are here!" Where is this, this... What's the matter with the sound? Who, who's crying? A lot of people are crying! ”

Where is this still the heroic Officer Qin?

"Ahem, this is my paradise. Excuse me! I'm in the process of commissioning the new sound equipment, and you know, some experiences would have a better atmosphere and effect if they were added with scary sounds. Forget that you are still resting on the first floor, it scares you! ”

Xu Lang didn't know how to explain, so he simply pushed the responsibility to the unwarranted new equipment, "This damn equipment, as soon as it is powered on, it starts to cry wolf, and it can't be turned off after studying for a long time!" ”

"New equipment?"

Qin Xiaolu sighed and suddenly asked, "Aren't we in the shroud shop?" Why are you coming to your amusement park again? ”

Xu Lang said nonsense: "You were scared and fainted by that paper piercing man just now, and I don't know where you live, so I can only take you back to the amusement park first." ”

"I was scared and fainted? Impossible, right? ”

Qin Xiaolu questioned: "I seem to be touching the paper and stabbing people, as if something has penetrated into my body, no, it is not ...... that I have been bored."

Qin Xiaolu tried to recall, but it seemed that there was a fault in the memory point.

Seeing this, Xu Lang took the opportunity to say: "Yes, a mouse suddenly sprang out of the paper piercing man and jumped on your hand, you were so frightened that you fainted on the spot, I damn it, you don't know how embarrassed you were at the time, I regret a little that I forgot to record the video, otherwise I can blackmail ...... in the future."

"You're embarrassed!"

Qin Xiaolu interrupted Xu Lang's words in time and asked, "Really didn't record a video?" ”

Xu Lang knew that a violent female police officer like Qin Xiaolu was very face-saving, so he simply brought the topic here, so that she would not think about it in other ways.

And it worked.

He waved his hand and said with a smile: "I forgot to record ......"

Qin Xiaolu snorted and said, "If you dare to record a video, you will die!" ”

Saying that, her cheeks were a little hot, she was really afraid of mice, and when she heard Xu Lang say this, she was a little convinced that she was scared and ugly in the shroud shop. But fortunately, Xu Lang saw it alone, otherwise it would be a shame to be seen by his colleagues in the institute.

"It's too late, you can send me home!" Qin Xiaolu was a little embarrassed, and the time was a little late, so he offered to go home.

"Okay."

Xu Lang took her to his pickup truck and went out of the amusement park.

Xu Lang drove in the direction of Poplar Town, and Qin Xiaolu said: "Don't go back to the Poplar Town Police Station, my urban area, Jincheng Garden, do you know?"

Jincheng Garden?

Xu Lang was stunned, this is too knowing! That's the famous "rich area" in Tokai City!

It's a whole villa! The people who live in it are all people with heads and faces in the city!

I didn't expect Qin Xiaolu's home to be there.

Xu Lang secretly guessed, it seems that Officer Qin, a little policeman, is not a simple person!

After driving for about an hour and a half, Xu Lang sent Qin Xiaolu to the gate of Jincheng Garden.

Seeing Xu Lang's skin staggering away, Qin Xiaolu also felt both incomprehensible and bizarre about these things that happened tonight, especially his memory fragments, which were fragmentary, and even a few points in time, were fragmented.

What a strange night.

……

Xu Lang returned to the late-night park from Donghai City, and it was the middle of the night.

Xu Lang returned to the office, lit three sticks of incense and summoned Huang Xinxin, and asked her to bring the ghost wife, ghost sister, and Chen Jieman's family to the office.

He felt that with the increase in the number of employees in Late Night Park, it was necessary to hold a staff meeting!

Soon, the three sticks of incense were sucked clean by the four ghost employees and turned into incense burner ashes.

In the director's office of the amusement park.

Xu Lang was alone, with four Ah Piao, and held the first staff meeting of the late-night park.
