Next Chapter

All things have spirits, and all life is fate.

In the early summer hours of the western suburbs of W City, next to the national highway. A 22-year-old big eye, a little beauty with the size of Lori walking quietly on the road. Her shadow was in the moonlight of the branches. She often walks this path, and every day she comes out of the company, takes a car to this "hailing station" station, and walks to her home in 15 minutes. Luo Xiaoxin thought as she walked, "I'm so unlucky today, the boss bragged, "Hehe, working overtime makes people happy, this is a personal blessing." "Forced to add a no-pay class, kind stuff. The eight-hour working day pursued by the state in the last century was exploited by these capitalists in various ways, and I couldn't stand it...."The more I thought about it, the more angry I became, and I simply stopped listening to music.

Luo Xiaoxin took out her mobile phone from her bag and looked at the time. "Hey, I've been walking for 20 minutes, why haven't I gotten home yet?" Luo Xiaoxin thought to herself, then put away her phone and looked at her surroundings. "That's right, the familiar building has a small forest on the left hand, and a residential building surrounded by a fence on the right." Luo Xiaoxin put away her doubts and continued to walk forward. "Pedaling, pedaling......" Walking on the path, it seems that except for the sound of high heels, other sounds have gradually disappeared. After walking for a few more minutes, Luo Xiaoxin felt that something was wrong and stopped suddenly. "Why! Why did I walk for a few minutes, but I still feel that the scenery on both sides has not changed! Still not going out? Could it be...... What the hell? ”

There was no sound around the path at all, and the solidified atmosphere caused Luo Xiaoxin's breathing to become heavier, Luo Xiaoxin recalled that when he was a child, the old people often said that ghosts hit the wall, and he couldn't help but shiver...... Luo Xiaoxin exhaled a few heavily, and the exhaled breath solidified into white frost. Is it so cold at night in summer? My heart suddenly tightened, I didn't dare to think about it, and I couldn't move if I thought about it any longer. Luo Xiaoxin calmed down a little, moved her legs a little swinging, and began to run faster. "Whew, whew, whew.... Whoop, whoop, whoop ......"

Ahh Luo Xiaoxin was so tired that she knelt down on the spot, the high-heeled shoes and uppers ran away, and her left foot was still down, looking at the motionless scenery on both sides, like a solidified dead thing, Luo Xiaoxin became more and more desperate.

The temperature around the path dropped a little more, and in addition to the footsteps of the running that had just stopped, there seemed to be more unintelligible words muttering..... And it's getting closer, it's getting closer..... Luo Xiaoxin's teeth chattered in fright, her hands tightened her ears, her eyes were closed, and she had an expression of "I was dying......

"Meow."

A small cat meow came into the night, and also into Luo Xiaoxin's heart. The sound of the murmuring disappeared suddenly, and the air seemed to begin to flow. Luo Xiaoxin looked back, and a white cat was sitting quietly behind her. The white cat also looked at her quietly, but for some reason, Luo Xiaoxin felt that the feeling of suffocation was gone, and there was only a feeling of peace of mind. "Did you save me? Thank you. Luo Xiaoxin squatted in front of the white cat and looked at it and said. Meow. The white cat barked, then turned around and walked two steps, and glanced back at Luo Xiaoxin. Luo Xiaoxin felt that she understood its meaning, and it seemed that she was not a BB, so hurry up and follow the meaning. She limped tentatively and took two steps, and the white cat took two steps forward unhurriedly. Just like that, the cat took her out in the woods.

Luo Xiaoxin walked to the avenue and looked left and right, not far from his home, about two or three streets. When she turned around again, she saw that the white cat ignored her, ran straight to a store, and jumped in through the window. Luo Xiaoxin originally wanted to take a look at the past, but this point had already been proofed in this store, Luo Xiaoxin was grateful to the white cat again, silently noted the location of the store, and turned around and went home.

The next day, Luo Xiaoxin got up early, took two ham sausages, and walked to yesterday's store early, wanting to see if she could see the white cat, so grateful. "If there is no one to raise it, how good it would be to take it home and raise it."

When I arrived at the front of the store, Luo Xiaoxin looked up from the bottom, eh, it was an antique decoration, a gossip mirror was hung on the lintel, and three big characters were written on the signboard: Lingyuan Hall.

"Well, it's such an evil sect, so let's not go." Luo Xiaoxin turned around and wanted to leave.

"Welcome, what is needed. I'm the manager here, come and come, please take your time. Suddenly, a tall and mighty man came to the store, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, and greeted Luo Xiaoxin while warmly entertaining.

It was only because he injured his left foot yesterday that Luo Xiaoxin, who didn't have time to run, was welcomed into the store, "If you come, you can be safe." I sighed in my heart, and I didn't bother anymore. When she entered the store, she carefully looked at the man in front of her, who was one meter eight tall, wearing a black suit and a blue tie, and her rough facial features gave people a wild and uninhibited feeling, especially the eyes were very sharp. He also has short flowing black hair, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, but he feels a little forced to laugh, lukewarm.

There are some urns, shrouds, paper money, amulets and other things on display in the store, Luo Xiaoxin thought to herself, it turned out to be a funeral shop.

"What do you call the store manager?"

"Zero Benze."

"What, Mr. Zero, my name is Luo Xiaoxin, I'm not here to buy something." Luo Xiaoxin pondered the words, shrank her head slightly, and said cautiously.

Well, the corners of the man's mouth didn't even have a lukewarm smile.

"Oh, what's the matter with you?" Zero Benze looked at Luo Xiaoxin and said quietly, listening to the tone, how angry he was.

"That's right, do you have a white cat?" It's about that big, Luo Xiaoxin said and gestured with her hand.

"Yes." Although Zero Benze wondered why she knew her white cat, she still reached out and pointed at the window. Luo Xiaoxin looked over, next to the window, there was a desk, on which a white cat was lying lazily in the mat and licking its paws.

"Wow, kawaii!" Luo Xiaoxin ran over with a cigarette, standing in front of the white cat with a look of wanting to touch and afraid of being said, looking at Zero Benze, and then at the white cat.

Zero Benze held his forehead and said helplessly: "Feel whatever you want." ”

"Yay!" Immediately there was a burst of petting cats, and the white cats didn't resist much, as if they were not surprised.

"Does it have a name?" Luo Xiaoxin asked.

Zero Benze replied: "It's called Bai Ye." Still, how do you know about this cat. ”

Luo Xiaoxin was stunned when she heard this, then touched Bai Ye twice, turned around and said, "I ran into a ghost hitting the wall last night, and it brought me out." ”

Zero Benze was surprised for a moment and said, "Miss Luo, can I ask about your birthday." ”

"Uh, okay." Saying that, Luo Xiaoxin told Zero Benze about his birthday.

Zero Benze was silent for a while, then asked about last night's events in detail, and said with a serious expression: "Don't mind if I say something ugly." ”

"Uh... You said. ”

Zero Benze smiled: "Ghost hitting the wall is only encountered by people with low luck, and your numerology is very hard, so it stands to reason that it will not be encountered at this age." Of course, if I don't do it right, it's possible. ”

When Luo Xiaoxin heard this, she felt a little scared, "Don't scare me, this kind of thing won't happen again." ”

"Hehe, Miss Luo, I don't know that blessing and misfortune don't go alone." Zero Benze smiled and continued: "If it's not a matter of luck, it's that you're being targeted by something. ”

Luo Xiaoxin was so frightened that she didn't dare to speak, she just hugged Bai Ye tightly and didn't move, until she strangled Bai Ye a little out of breath and struggled desperately. Luo Xiaoxin let go at this time, and Bai Ye "meowed" and ran away.

Luo Xiaoxin hurriedly asked, "Then what should I do?" ”

"No hurry, no hurry, I want to think about it." Zero Benze waved his hand, silently crossed the circle in the store, and after a while, he suddenly said: "There is!" Then he hurried to the back hall.

Anyway, is it really good to hang me as a guest? Luo Xiaoxin looked dazed, and then waited a little nervously. Zero Benze went and came back quickly, but there was an extra piece of rune paper in his hand, he folded the rune paper in half, tore it in half, and folded half into a diamond-shaped talisman, and then handed it to Luo Xiaoxin.

At the same time, he said: "This is a talisman, don't lose it if you take it well, it's March now, and it should be fine after the Qingming Festival." ”

Luo Xiaoxin hurriedly received the bag, and quickly thanked him: "Thank you, Mr. Zero." I didn't expect you to be proficient in these things, how much is this. ”

Zero Benze said casually: "This doesn't cost money, you just don't lose it, remember." ”

After Luo Xiaoxin thanked him repeatedly, he asked again: "Can I come to your store to see Bai Ye when I have nothing to do in the future?" ”

Zero Benze smiled, "Yes, meeting is fate, you can do it at will." ”

Before leaving, the two exchanged phone numbers. Hey, I thought I could solve the puzzle, but it turned out that more mysteries came out again. With apprehension, Luo Xiaoxin said goodbye to Ling Benze and Bai Ye, and went to be an ordinary office worker again. Zero Benze, who was watching her go away at the door of the store, sighed silently in his heart, it's time to be busy, how can this kind of thing happen all the time, this city is going to be chaotic. Bai Ye still returned to the mat and licked his paws, but the frequent wagging of his tail also proved that his heart was not at peace.
