Volume 2: Entering the Ghost Feast by Mistake Verse 98: Unqualified
"Is this it? Dungeon Room Escape? After breakfast, Zhang Su came to a store according to Pu Zitong's prompt and asked.
"That's right, the address given on the bounty is here, let's go inside." Pu Zitong got out of the back seat of Zhang's car and nodded.
Zhang Su locked the car in front of the store and walked into the escape room with Pu Zitong.
"Beauty, handsome guy, what do you want to play?" As soon as Zhang Su and Pu Zitong entered the door, a stout man with a tattoo on his arm walked over and asked with a smile.
"Are you the boss here?" Pu Zitong asked.
"No, the boss here is my eldest brother, is there something wrong?" The inch-headed man replied expressionlessly.
"Oh, that's right, we're sent by the company to work, please let the shopkeeper know." Pu Zitong explained.
"Working? I've been taking care of this shop all along, and I haven't heard of anything to look for, so let's go. The inch-headed man looked at Zhang Su and Pu Zitong with suspicious eyes, and then directly issued an eviction order.
Zhang Su looked at Pu Zitong from the side, and did not take the initiative to interject, wanting to see how Pu Zitong wanted to deal with the current situation, although the main purpose of soul hunting is to hunt dead souls, but it is also a compulsory course in the handling of interpersonal relationships, only when interpersonal relationships are handled well, can soul hunting be carried out without revealing the identity of the soul master, and some unnecessary troubles can be reduced.
Just when Zhang Su cast a satisfied look at Pu Zitong, Pu Zitong suddenly changed his previous gentleness and kindness, and said angrily to the inch-headed man: "What do you have to say, let you notify the boss, you will notify, it is really a tiger is not at home, and the monkey is the overlord." ”
"Why do you talk like that, little girl?" The inch-headed man was just about to turn around, when he suddenly heard Pu Zitong compare himself to a monkey and asked angrily.
"What's wrong with me, didn't I just ask you to ask your boss? Why is it so hard! Pu Zitong asked rhetorically, not to be outdone.
"If it weren't for the fact that you were a woman, I would ......" Hearing Pu Zitong's sharp shout, the inch-headed man angrily raised his right hand and made a threatening gesture towards Pu Zitong.
Seeing that something was wrong, Zhang Su hurriedly stood up in one step, blocked in front of Pu Zitong, and explained to the inch-headed man: "This big brother, you dissipate your anger, she is not in good health, she has a bad temper, understand and understand, we are really called by your boss to work, you can call to confirm, don't make a misunderstanding, don't hurt the harmony, this job is not good for anyone to delay." ”
"Hmph, this is still like a human saying, you two wait, I'll call and ask." The inch-headed man felt that Zhang Su's speech was pleasant, and what he said was more reasonable, and replied.
"Then I'll trouble you, by the way, let's just say that we are from the company, and your boss will understand." Zhang Su added a reminder.
The inch-headed man nodded, turned around and walked into the store, and soon walked from the door of the store to the front desk, picked up a landline phone and dialed the number.
"What are you doing like that? If he dares to do it, I'll punch him away, really, they all said to let him contact the boss, and he is still there with a shelf, it's really annoying. Pu Zitong pouted and complained.
"I'm just stopping you, you're really my eldest brother, there's just a ghast in it, we can solve it even if we don't enter the store, the reason why I let your body and soul arrive at the soul hunting scene together is to exercise your communication skills, you're good now, you almost fought with the store manager before you said a word, how can you hunt souls in the future?" Zhang Su asked in a low voice.
"You also said that the soul is out of the body, then I will directly put the body outside in the future and let the soul hunt the soul?" Pu Zitong replied confidently.
"It's okay if you deal with it, but what if you meet someone you can't? When hunting souls, keep the body and soul as close as possible This is common sense, in case of accidents, you can hide back in the body to save your life, you are from a family of soul masters, this point does not need me to explain more. Zhang Wei angrily criticized Pu Zitong.
"If you're so afraid of an accident, how can you be a soul master, you may be hit on the head by a vase when you go out and walk, you may stuff your teeth when you drink cold water, and no one can hide from the accident." Pu Zitong retorted.
"Walking may be hit by a vase is an accident, encountering a ghost falling into a trap is also an accident, encountering a ghost stronger than their own strength is another kind of accident, you have to learn to avoid the accident, you have to be vigilant at any time to minimize the probability of accidents, if you indulge all the accidents in your life to the maximum, then your probability of accidents is much higher than those who try to avoid accidents, and the probability of death is greatly increased." Zhang Su explained.
"Well, what you said seems to have some truth, blessings and misfortunes do not go alone, and good things rarely follow one after another, but once someone encounters bad luck, then bad things will appear one after another, always catching people off guard." Pu Zitong's temper cooled down a little and said thoughtfully.
"Although I don't know if there are any experts who have studied this issue, from my life experience, this phenomenon is not lacking in scientific evidence." Zhang Su pretended to be mysterious.
"How?" Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"Risk control, correct judgment, these are mostly in the case of people sane and sober to complete, when the blessing, people's emotions will become excited, even if the excitement does not make people forgetful, but it will also make people unable to rationally look at and deal with the things after that, then the things after will be deviated, and the blessing will be exhausted; In the same way, when disaster strikes, people's emotions will become sad, and even if the sad emotions do not make people disappointed, they will also affect people's correct judgment of the development of things, and as things develop, problems and mistakes will appear again and again, and disasters will no longer be one-way. Zhang Su explained his understanding.
"Yes, it makes sense, it's a pity that you don't want to be an expert if you have the brain, you're much better than those bragging experts on TV." Pu Zitong patted Zhang Su's shoulder, and really praised it.
"What kind of expert should I be, the current experts are not hundreds of millions but tens of millions, they are not worth more than college students, they are all inflationary, so I don't go, it's too cheap." Zhang Su replied with a smile.
"You're fat, you're still gasping, come on, so how do you think I should communicate with people to make people believe that I'm here to hunt ghosts?" Pu Zitong asked.
"Just explain the matter in a friendly manner, didn't you hear what I just said to him? Although we were 'invited', but many times the person who invited us to come is only one, that is, the person who hangs the bounty in the soul hunting company, and people other than him can be said to know nothing about the nature of our work, so we have to contact the person who is hanging the bounty as much as possible, and we can't say anything more with others, and wait until the problem is solved, just confirm with the boss of the bounty, so as not to make a big deal about the ghost and not cause trouble to our company. Zhang Su told Pu Zitong about his experience.
"What if you want to meet someone who is as skeptical of us as the man just now?" Pu Zitong continued to ask.
"Just say it a few more times, his questioning just now is nothing more than two reasons, the first reason is that he doesn't know, the one who knows is the boss behind him, although he puts on a boss's shelf, but he is still afraid of mistaking the real boss's business, so you just explain it a few more times; Secondly, we can only say to the uninformed person that he is 'here to work', and he knows best whether there is a job in his shop, so it is normal for him to have doubts, so it is necessary for him to confirm with the person who is offering the bounty, so there is no need to lose so much temper to be serious with him. Zhang Su answered.
"yes, how can you say that the reward is the boss and not him, and it's not good for him to miss the boss's things, so he's just putting on a score, to be honest, I was even more angry after I knew he was deliberately playing the score." Pu Zitong clenched his small fist and said.
"What's so angry, wait and see, he will politely invite the two of us soon." Zhang Su responded with a smile.
"Why?" Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"Secret." Zhang Su replied mysteriously.
Just when the conversation between Zhang Su and Pu Zitong came to an end, the inch-headed man put down the phone, walked towards Zhang Su and Pu Zitong again with a smile on his face, nodded and said to Zhang Su and Pu Zitong: "It's the two masters, please come in, please come in, my name is Wang Qiang, I am Brother Zhou's subordinate, you two are Brother Zhou's VIPs, I am not polite, apologize to the two." ”
Saying that, Wang Qiang was about to give up.
Pu Zitong was already stunned on the side, how could the inch-headed man who was so horizontal just now become polite with a sudden change in his painting style? Pu Zitong was puzzled.
Zhang Su hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Don't dare to be, don't dare to be, we are not masters, we are sent by the company to work, just like your work in opening a store." ”
"You don't have to hide it from me, with my friendship with Brother Zhou, he has already told me about it, I am here to explain to you, the store did have a haunted incident a month ago, and I saw it with my own eyes, like a ghost possessed, so that a little girl who came to play suddenly became crazy, pinched people, arrested people, and destroyed a secret room that we had worked so hard to arrange, and then foamed at the mouth and fell in our store, this matter is not small, I told Boss Zhou about it, Boss Zhou said that it may be due to my heavy debts, so I applied to your company for an investigation, and this is roughly the case. Wang Qiang briefly recounted and let Zhang Su and Pu Zitong on the sofa in the store.
"How do you know it's a haunting?" Pu Zitong asked puzzled.
"I've been a gangster since I was a child, I didn't do anything to fight and cut people, although it wasn't a good thing, but I saw a lot of things, once when our gang and other gangs were in flames, there was a strange thing, when hundreds of people fought with knives and pipes, there was a guy next to me who hacked people to death too hard, of course, this is very common in the fight, but then I saw that the guy who hacked to death lost his soul on the spot, and took a blood-stained machete in the crowd and went crazy and slashed, Whether it was his own faction or the other party's faction, he slashed up when he saw someone, and when others cut him, he cut back as if he was unconscious, and when the police came, he found that he had hacked three people to death one after another, and I don't know how many were injured, and finally he was shot dead by the police. Wang Qiang recalled with horror on his face, then picked up the cup and took a sip of water.
"And after that?" Pu Zitong asked with interest as if listening to a story, she knew that there was a follow-up.
"Half of the people involved in the fight ran away, I was caught in the bureau when I covered Brother Zhou and didn't run, but it was difficult to determine which person's guilt was in the crowd fight, almost everyone put all the blame of the dead man on the madman who was shot, and the rest of the people were sentenced to three and a half years according to the final sentence of the armed brawl, I was sentenced to three and a half years, in the prison, I heard the prison guard say that the person who was shot by the police was very evil, and that person had been fatally injured before the police killed him, and it was the kind of fatal injury that must die, But it was unbelievable that the man with that fatal wound could keep slashing through the crowd until the police arrived and knocked him to the ground. Wang Qiang continued to reminisce.
"That means the crazy man is possessed by a demon, right?" Pu Zitong asked.
"I didn't think so at the time, we people in the mixed society are not afraid of heaven and earth, and the courage has long been practiced, I thought that the madman was mentally stimulated after killing people, so he would suddenly go crazy, this kind of thing is not nothing, but a roommate I met in prison told me that the man must be enchanted, that is, possessed by a demon, I didn't believe it at the time, but he said to me, 'Your soul has been hit by the man's knife, and it is broken, Sure enough, a wound on my back from the madman's cut healed, but it still hurt so much that I couldn't sleep. Wang Qiang continued.
Zhang Su and Pu Zitong glanced at each other, obviously declaring out who Wang Qiang's so-called cellmate was.
"Not only me, but also several people who have been cut by that madman have also had the same problem as me, that is, although the wound has healed, the pain from the wound has not disappeared, and the prison doctor doesn't know how to explain it after seeing it, so he has to say that the meridian injury has not completely healed, but I know that it is definitely not the problem of the meridians, so I asked my cellmate in prison for help, and he persuaded me to change my ways and stop engaging in violence, while he put his hand on my sore spot, and after this action, I was no longer in painSince then, I have believed that there are ghosts in this world. Wang Qiang said.
"Who is that man?" Zhang Su and Pu Zitong asked in unison.
"I don't know, I only know that the person's name is Tong Guan, and I don't know the rest, I later behaved well and reduced my sentence to two years, Tong Guan was released from prison half a year earlier than me, and then there was no contact, or let's go back to what happened in our small shop, at that time, there were four women and two men playing escape room, a total of six students, like a nearby middle school, they bought a two-hour escape room package, and half an hour after entering the escape room, one of the girls went crazy, I saw that the girl's crazy appearance was very similar to the person I saw when I was young and went crazy and slashed people, and my first reaction was that this girl might have recruited something unclean, I mentioned this matter to Brother Zhou, but I didn't expect Brother Zhou to really find your two masters. Wang Qiang said excitedly.
Zhang Su and Pu Zitong were both thinking about who was called Tong Guan, and in the end, no one was impressed, and seeing that Wang Qiang finished speaking, Zhang Su nodded and said that he understood the incident.
"The master can't talk about it, he just collects money to work." Zhang Su responded with a smile.
At this time, although Pu Zitong was still sitting in the hall, his soul was already out of his body, waiting for Zhang Su's instructions.
"High-level ghasts, located in the southwest corner of the second floor of the store, you can go there." Zhang Su reminded with a soul voice that he had already used the stele soul to find out the location of the ghast.
"Well, I also sensed it, you are waiting for my good news here." Pu Zitong replied with a smile, she had already let go of her soul power, and she also sensed the location of the ghast.
Zhang Su nodded, and chatted with Wang Qiang for a while, most of the content of the conversation was about the person called Tong Guan, that Tong Guan was obviously a person similar to a soul master, he wanted to know what kind of origin that Tong Guan was, why he knew the existence of the soul realm, and what means were used to quickly repair the soul injury, if this person could really heal the soul with a touch as Wang Qiang said, then his healing soul skills were at least several levels higher than Lin Yan, maybe he was a hidden master, but it was hard to say whether he was a soul master.
According to Wang Qiang's more precise introduction, he was released five years ago, five years ago, Tong Guan's age was estimated to be above fifty years old, and today, five years later, Tong Guan is nearly sixty years old, and the person named Tong Guan doesn't talk much in prison, the whole person is very dull, just because Wang Qiang is his roommate, that Tong Guan said a few words to Wang Qiang, as if he was hiding something.
Wang Qiang intermittently recalled the events of the year, he couldn't sleep one night, secretly opened his eyes to observe what Tong Guan was doing, he was surprised to find that Tong Guan's body became cold like a dead human corpse, he thought Tong Guan was dead, and wanted to call the prison doctor to treat Tong Guan, but before he could shout, Tong Guan's body miraculously became warm again, and the first thing Tong Guan did when he woke up was to lock his throat, press him down on his bed, and threatened: "Don't be nosy, if you dare to touch me privately, I will kill you!" ”
"Is there anything else special about him?" Zhang Su continued to ask.
"I don't know, I asked him why he went to prison, he said it was an accidental homicide, this statement can match his record information in prison, I asked him why he killed someone, he said it was because he was forced to miss, and he voluntarily surrendered, judging from his attitude in prison, he seemed to be planning something, as if he didn't want to get out of prison." Wang Qiang replied.
"Murder? Surrender? Don't want to get out of jail? Zhang Su doesn't understand the connection, from the perspective of the soul master, few people who can enter the soul realm will really kill people, even if they kill, the possibility of surrendering is not great, after all, the soul master will not leave evidence in this world when he kills, and he doesn't want to get out of prison This point makes Zhang Su a little puzzled, normal people will not want to be locked up in prison, unless there is a special purpose.
Just when Zhang Su was thinking, Pu Zitong's soul returned to his senses, dragging a dead soul in his hand, and he did not shy away from taking out the dark stone cup that was exactly the same as Zhang Su, and with a wave of his hand, he put the dead soul that was beaten to the death into the dark stone cup.
"Did it go well?" Zhang Su asked.
"It's just a high-level ghast, and two moves will do it." Pu Zitong replied arrogantly.
"Then it won't beat this ghast so badly, hey, forget it, let's go, there are still three bounties." Zhang Su proposed.
"I see someone playing escape room above, it feels so interesting, it seems to be looking for clues to open the door of the secret room, why don't we play a game too?" Pu Zitong pleaded pitifully.
"Don't play, you still have something to do." Zhang Su refused.
Zhang Su stood up, stretched out his hand to Wang Qiang, shook hands with Wang Qiang, and then told Wang Qiang that this time the matter was over, and he could report the situation directly to Boss Zhou, and after that, he dragged Pu Zitong out of the escape room.
"I don't let people play for a while." Pu Zitong complained aggrievedly.
"My aunt, let's do a good job of soul hunting, okay? You almost got into a fight with someone for the first time, and you can already count it as a failure. Zhang Su reprimanded.
