Episode 1 Work

Sanfu City, not far from Fenghua City, is a development zone at night.

At this time, the area under development is a bit desolate, deep in the open grass, and not far away is a tall bungalow. []

"Ning, stay here and wait for a while, I'll go to the second floor and have a look. Xiao Rin said to Ning behind him.

The house is huge, and nearly half an hour has passed after searching the dark first floor. Ever since he entered this room, Ning had been hiding behind Xiao Rin. His hands firmly tugged at the corners of her clothes, and he didn't dare to leave a single step.

"Rin, do you think there will be ghosts here?" I'm a little scared......" Ning grabbed the corner of Xiao Rin's clothes, and his trembling tone was filled with fear: "There must be no ghosts, ghosts or something should have already entered the underworld!?"

"I said are you really a zombie?" The corners of his mouth twitched twice unnaturally, and Xiao Rin directly took out the guy behind him: "You guy, why are you afraid of ghosts when you are obviously a zombie?" Besides, even if a ghost appears in front of you, it should be afraid of you, right!"

"But, but...... People are just scared, I can't control this kind of thing!!"

"It's okay, it's okay, if you look at this kind of thing, you're not afraid. I'll go to the second floor first, and you'll have to work on your own. After speaking, Xiao Rin didn't give her a chance to refute, and directly turned into the stairs on the second floor, leaving Ling Ning alone on the first floor.

Today's commission is simple: a middle-aged couple buys this long-abandoned villa, but the day they happily move into the house, the family is harassed by unknown means. The strange sound of footsteps in the hallway in the middle of the night, and the neatly arranged things changed positions for no reason......

Clean up the ghosts that exist in this room, that's what the commission is about.

The commission was simple, but the guy behind her gave her a headache.

Because of work, the month has not yet returned, and Rin, who is too leisurely, simply takes Ling Ning out to work together. Well, it's important to train this guy who eats and drinks for nothing, so that there will be one more staff member in the Department in the future.

There are more opportunities for you to be lazy~~

But...... Ling Ning, this guy has obviously been dead for a long time, and he is actually afraid of those little ghosts!! Xiao Rin has doubted more than once, whether he is wrong, or the world is wrong, why such zombies appear!

"What...... Can't zombies be afraid?You are discrimination!!" Ling Ning muttered quietly as he bared his teeth as he looked down the dark corridor.

............

"Woo, why don't you have a light ......" In the empty corridor, someone moved step by step.

Trembling step by step, goosebumps all over my body.

"Tick, tick, tick, tick......"

The extremely dimly lit environment was a little weird, and gusts of cold wind blew for no reason.

"Don't come to me, don't come to me......" Ning felt a nameless coldness hit the back of his neck, and suddenly sat down on the ground, whispering.

Behind her, a miserable white hand stretched out, as if hesitating, and then stabbed Ning in the neck.

"Don't touch me, go away!!ahhh......h The originally weak feet stood up at once, and ran outside like the wind.

In the hallway, Ning ran and cried, not realizing that the distance he had run seemed to be a little long.

100 meters, 100 kilometers.

The corridor, is it so long?

After running for a while, she finally turned into a nearby room when she didn't feel right.

"Where is this?" looks like a kitchen, but there is not a hint of any use.

It's a bit cold around, and even a little drop of water may turn into ice.

The dripping sound of "tick-tick-tick ......" continued, becoming more and more urgent, more and more urgent, and finally it had been practiced.

"Don't, go find that guy, don't follow me!"

A cold shiver hit me, and a hollow, murmuring voice echoed in my ears: "Don't run......"

"Mom!ahh......hhh

Corridors, halls, corridors......

"Huhuhuhu......" Gasping rapidly, Ling Ning turned into a closed room next to him before he felt a sense of security. "Next, next time...... I won't come again, not even if I go on a hunger strike!!"

The whole house was dark and there was no light source.

It was pitch black except for the faint moonlight shining through an open window.

"Hey, don't run, am I so scared?!" in the hallway, a frail and erratic little girl floated, she waved her fist in annoyance. Then he put it down weakly: "Alas, why are other people always afraid of me?"

............

............

"Hey, you've had enough. ”

Rin, who had been watching the whole time, finally couldn't stand it anymore, and ran downstairs in annoyance, pushing the door open in one fell swoop.

"You go and reflect on yourself, tomorrow's lunch is canceled!" Rin roared as he picked up the frightened guy crouched in the corner. Really, I've never seen this kind of zombie with waste wood!"I really don't understand, it's obvious that you're more powerful, why are you so scared???"

"Woo...... It's just scared, ghost, that's a ghost!"

"You're not human, are you?"

The little girl in the hallway followed Rin after she pushed the door open.

"Hehehe, it's really interesting...... she was a little tired, she sat by the window and watched Ling Ning laugh quietly, the whole person curled up by the eaves, holding her chin and looking at them with interest.

"And you, don't scare people, that guy is very intimidating. ”

Rin looked up at the snickering geist and said solemnly, "If you're scared, what if I don't have one less employee!"

"What... What !!"

"Are you talking to me? You can see my !!" The guy who was sitting by the window almost fell off when she heard this, and after getting up with a messy face, she tugged at the corner of Rin's clothes with teary eyes: "Woo, I finally met someone who saw me." ”

"Alas...... How long have you been dead?"

Looking at the girl in front of her, who was obviously only in her teens, Rin sighed and asked in a low voice.

"Ten years, or twelve?" seems to have forgotten a little, as if it woke up like this......" Hearing Rin's question, the guy looked down and thought about it, and gave such a helpless answer.

"Dead...... Am I dead?" Suddenly realizing something, she let go of her hand and sat down on the ground in a trance.

"That's right, otherwise it wouldn't be like this, no one has spoken to me for a long time. ”

“...... Life and death, in fact, don't care too much. People have to go through these two stages in their lives, and the only difference is early and late. After calming down Ling Ning, who was screaming, Xiao Rin walked over and gently rubbed the head of the little girl who had been dead for a long time: "Everything will be fine." ”

"Hmm~"

"By the way, is this your home?"

"Well, that's where I grew up, and then somehow I woke up and that's it. As she spoke, the little girl's voice became lower and lower: "Mom, Dad, and my brother have left... I want to go with them too......"

"It's been a long time...... Say, if you don't have any wishes, leave as soon as possible, or you won't be able to hold on?"

"Wish? It seems that there is no ......"

Looking down and thinking about it, the little girl looked at Rin suspiciously and said, "Why do you have to have a wish?"

"No?" looked at her suspiciously, but all the ghosts who stayed in the Yang World either had extremely strong obsessions before they were alive, or they were wronged. No matter what kind of thing it is, there must be some kind of wish in my heart, whether it is good or bad, there will generally be one.

Thinking of this, Rin, who felt a little abnormal, directly opened the causal horizon.

The little girl dressed in white was wrapped in dense black threads of cause and effect, like silk threads outside a giant silkworm cocoon. One end of all the threads extends into every corner of the room, locking her and the whole room together!

"Lock the soul, who is so vicious?" frowned, and asked like a little girl, "How long have you been here, have you ever been out?"

"No, I don't know why, but when I leave the door, I always get pulled back. Shaking her head suspiciously, the little girl pointed to the hall and said, "I feel very bad in that room, and I get tired every time I go in!"

"Is there anyone who can come and see you?"

Soul locking is a means of detaining souls that should have belonged to the underworld in their place, and becoming an existence like an earthbound spirit. Ten years and a hundred years, or even the year before that, stuck in place. In Taoism, although it is not as vicious as the Soul Destroying Curse, it is also a very cruel method.

"Nope...... I've been here for a long time and haven't seen anyone other than a few people who were moving into my house the other day. ”

"That's right......" Xiao Rin lowered his head and thought for a moment, and walked towards the hall.

In the center of the spacious hall, neat tables and chairs are arranged, and delicate tea sets are visited on the mahogany table.

The interior of the hall is elegantly decorated with a strong Gothic style. On the wall of one of the most eye-catching buildings, there is a large old hanging bell hanging high, and there is a faint aftersound between the swings of the clock.

And also......

The staircase leading to the second floor, the first fence column.

At the top of the fence post was carved a monstrous beast, and at the bottom a small black flower came out.

"What a hapless little girl......"

Seeing that fence post, even Rin had to feel sorry for the little girl.

There must be some special nodes on the general building, and those nodes are called soul slots!

The soul slot can keep souls of different sizes, and it is a hiding place for some ghosts in the city.

The soul seat of this room is located on that fence post. Originally, it was a natural soul house, and it was no problem. Even if it's sunny midday in that place, the ghosts can survive safely.

But......

"Alas......"

"Big sister, do I have any questions?"

"You're okay, no one is okay......" Turning to look at the little girl who had endured the discomfort and walked into this hall, Rin looked at her with a little pity in her eyes unconsciously: "Reincarnate, I promise that you will have a full life in the next life." ”

"Reincarnation ......"

"Well, start a new life!"

............

Half an hour later, Rin, who had recovered a little, walked towards the station.

"Rin, why can't that ghost be inseparable? It stands to reason that if there are no accidents, people will enter the Netherworld by themselves after death. On the way, Ling Ning became curious and plucked up the courage to ask.

"Is it because of that thing on the fence post!?"

"Oh no...... The carved on the fence post is "Pi", a kind of beckoning beast. ”

"In that case, is there anything else wrong with that room?"

"Fence Post ......"

"Didn't you say that the fence post is a "pi", no problem?"

The backhand to Ning's head was a burst, and Rin said angrily: "What I said is that the "Pi" on the fence post is fine, I didn't say that the fence post is no problem!"

"That little imp is really unlucky...... That fence pillar is a soul-attracting wood, a kind of soul-attracting wood, I don't know who pretended to be mahogany to make furniture! This is also it, even if the soul-attracting wood is there, there is no big problem, after leaving the main body, the soul-attracting wood's ghost ability will slowly disappear for a while...... However, the soul attraction wood is located on the soul position, which fits with the soul position, and completes a new transformation. ”

"Soul Wood Blossoms... And that little ghost is still in the soul position, and he is so lucky that he has not been completely turned into nutrients......" Rin said as he took out a small, less than five centimeters of dark jade-colored wooden stick from his arms, and turned it unconsciously in his hand.

This is the soul wood tree heart, and the Taoist techniques such as soul conjuring are not small.

"This simple fit happens to be too similar to a kind of soul locking array!, so I say that the little ghost is really unlucky, and this rare situation can be encountered...... Forget it, don't talk about it, anyway, her matter has come to an end, and our commission is completed. Well, the harvest this time is still good, in addition to the generous reward, there is also this soul wood heart, if you buy it, it will cost a lot of money!" After saying it in general, Rin turned around and looked at Ning, whose eyes were full of '¥'.

"Ning, are you too useless! This time the salary is cancelled!!" he pulled Ning's face with one hand and taught him a lesson.

Originally, she also wanted Ning to get in touch with the ghost a little, but she didn't expect this guy's reaction to be so unbearable.

Compared with her, Xiao Yin and Xiao Li are really better.

"Pain, pain, pain...... Rin, relax, or I'll bite you!!... Besides, the salary must not be canceled, otherwise I will be completely out of money, which is not okay!!"

"Then tell me what you came in handy!"

"That's another question, more on that later......"

............

"How come I've been encountering these unreasonable things lately!"

"That's it, I don't want to be with you, all the time encountering these strange things...... It's not scientific!"

"You're a zombie, don't tell me that science is unscientific in the future!"

"Not really!"

"You guy, give me enough to stop, okay!"

On the way home, Xiao Rin and Ling Ning had a quarrel without saying a word.

Behind the two of them, a small moon rose in a twist, and it seemed to be brighter than usual......

――――

"Don't you plan to leave in the end?"

Rin turned around and took one last look at the house at the end of the horizon, and sighed silently in his heart: "Forget it......"

She has already divided the yin and yang of that house, forming the yin and yang realm of **. Humans and ghosts are in different common sense, and they will not affect each other in the future, which can be regarded as completing the commission.

If you're tired, choose for yourself.
