One. An exorcist who has never seen a ghost

The recorder presses down to record and is placed on the table by the palm of one hand.
"Mr. Lu Li, you can say it."
The psychiatrist retracted his arm and leaned into the couch.
With a noisy night breeze drifting into the office from the window, the neon lights flickering outside the window, a night view of the city.
"It's a long story." The man who was called Lu Li spoke.
The doctor said he didn't care at all: "Feel free to do so, I charge by the hour." ”
"My name is Lu Li, 24 years old. He lives in the family building of the power plant in the inner ring of Pingling City. Unmarried. I work for the Luli Detective Agency. Most of the working hours are in the evenings. I don't smoke, I just drink a little bit. Sleep at irregular times, and sleep for up to 8 hours a day. Before going to bed, I would drink a glass of warm milk, then do 20 minutes of soft exercises, go to bed, and fall asleep immediately. Sleep until dawn, and never leave fatigue and stress until the next day. The doctors all said I was normal. ”
"Can it be said that it is related to the condition...... I don't care, but you know the cost. The doctor sighed, revealing a "one more" expression.
As a psychiatrist, he certainly sees many strange patients.
The man bowed his head and said slowly after a brief calm.
"I'm an exorcist."
……
In the dark corridor of the old community, Lu Li said to an old couple inside the door.
The narrow, damp aisles were littered with debris that was in the way, including a few vintage bicycles with a thick layer of dust.
"You contacted the Lu Li Detective Agency?"
The two old men didn't seem to be in very good condition, and some of them seemed to be overly frightened. They looked at Lu Li carefully from head to toe, their cloudy eyes filled with vigilance.
Lu Li's dress was very formal. The white shirt has a slender black tie around the neckline, black trousers, and a black trench coat over it. Coupled with black hair and black eyes, the whole person has no other superfluous colors except black and white - this kind of dress is like a Taoist robe and robe, giving people a look of power.
The old man finally confirmed that Lu Li was "his own person", and took out a small crumpled card with two lines of words written on it with a long sigh of relief.
Lu Li Detective Agency
Deal with paranormal events
"I'm Lu Li, a detective from the Lu Li Detective Agency."
Lu Li took out the same but brand-new postcard from his arms and handed it to the two old men.
"Quick...... Come on in......" They eagerly moved out of the way.
Lu Li stepped into the room, and the bright midday sun peeked in through the window on the sunny side.
Because standing in front of the ventilated door, a warm summer breeze greeted me after the futon was sunburned.
And because of the good ventilation, there is almost no smell of old people here.
With such a sunny environment, it doesn't look like a place where ghosts breed.
Lu Li looked at the ordinary room layout, just like the home of an ordinary old man, with a layer of embroidered cloth on the TV and refrigerator.
Retracting his gaze, Lu Li looked at two pairs of eyes full of anticipation.
"Can you tell me the specifics? Like what happened. ”
The old man said mysteriously, "Have you seen it......
Lu Li shook his head lightly: "I didn't feel anything, that's why I asked you." ”
The disappointment of the old couple was palpable, but they still told Lu Li about their experience.
The sound of marbles on the floor at night, the cry of a baby in the middle of the night, the white shadow that flashes outside the window, the strange noise in the bathroom at night.
"I think this can be explained by science. The former is the sound of thermal expansion and contraction of building materials, and the latter is now summer......" Lu Li, who was standing at the door, walked to the window, looked out, and then looked overhead.
“…… Usually there are a lot of wild cats, right? This is the third floor, the bungalow downstairs is only a dozen meters away from here, and the cat's barking when it is in heat is very similar to that of a baby. Upstairs, there are drying racks on the fourth and fifth floors, and the white shadow you are talking about may be the clothes that are drying outside in the night when the wind blows down, and it happens to be seen by the two of you. ”
"As for the abnormal noise in the bathroom...... Lu Li didn't go to the bathroom to look, and turned to the two of them. The bathroom is connected to the sewer pipe, and it is normal to have a little noise. ”
"I ...... We kid you not! I really saw the ghost! Don't believe me, ask my wife! ”
"yes, yes, I got up that night......"
The two old men hurriedly argued.
"Okay, I see."
Lu Li's face was calm, and he stopped the old man's narration.
"I'm going to start the exorcism ritual, can you ask the two of you to wait outside the door?"
"This ......," the old man looked at each other with a sad expression.
Ghosts are scary, but money is more important......
Lu Li, who knew what they were worried about, added: "This is the third floor, I have nowhere to run." ”
The two old men who hesitated slowly came to the corridor and followed Lu Li behind them to close the door.

By the way, lock the door back.
The two old men, who also heard the sound of the lock, tightened their expressions, and then they heard a spell from behind the door that they did not understand, such as "I will expel you" and "Lord, please save the world from the hands of the devil", which sounded very powerful and shameful.
After a shout, there was a dead silence behind the door, and suddenly there was a muffled bang, and the wall shook, and several pieces of old wall skin fell off.
The two old men trembled with fright and almost retreated to the opposite door.
The sudden fierce fighting and muffled humming in the room made the two old men imagine a picture of a man fighting an evil spirit.
At this time, a wall across the house.
Contrary to the imagination of the old man outside the door, Lu Li sat at the dining table very calmly, except for occasionally kicking on the wooden chair, knocking on the table, and making a few muffled snorts.
Dozens of seconds passed like this, and Lu Li, who felt that the time was about the same, stood up, kicked over the chair, and hit the wall with his side shoulder.
There was a muffled sound, and the wall shook.
Then there was a dozen seconds of calm.
The two old men held their breath as the minutes ticked by......
The door opened, and a figure appeared behind the door.
Lu Li's dark eyes were calm, and his forehead was stuck with water stains that looked like sweat, and he gasped: "It's all settled." ”
……
"Wait a minute, you said you were an 'exorcist'" the psychiatrist interrupted Lu Li's narration. He put an accent on the words 'exorcist'.
Lu Li asked rhetorically: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who grabs the neck of a ghost and devil and then shouts 'in the name of God'?" ”
The psychiatrist was silent and waved his hand for him to continue.
……
"The ghost has ......" the two old men probed into the door, looking around.
"Got rid of it." Lu Li turned sideways and motioned for them to come in.
After that, there is the usual process after the "exorcism" - paying the cost of the exorcism.
After receiving the payment, Lu Li said goodbye and left. Walking to the path downstairs, suddenly a cloud obscured the sun.
A cold surged all over his body, Lu Li seemed to sense something, stood still under his feet, and looked back.
A black silhouette stood by the third-floor window, arms raised, swinging stiffly.
It's like saying hello, it's like saying goodbye.
The breeze blows, the ends of the hair swing, and it is cold and biting even though it is daytime.
