Four. The game-like setting and the internship period are different
"What happens if I refuse?" Lu Li, who never believed in pie falling from the sky, did not agree.
If what happened tonight wasn't Lu Li's conjecture and hallucination, then it would have turned his life upside down.
It was like he had been trapped in a cramped room for a long time, and suddenly one day, the house had an extra door. He walked to the door and pushed it open, and behind the door was not another narrow and dark room, but a vast and vast sea of stars.
People are eager for the unknown and afraid of the unknown.
Lu Li had no way of knowing if the guillotine hidden on the door would fall when he passed through the door.
"Why me." He asked.
"Guess?" The girl's personality is consistent with her appearance, if Lu Li hadn't seen her tongue stick out four or five meters long and then eat and wipe a ghost clean, he would only think that this was an ordinary girl.
"Because of my peace?" Lu Li thought of the most likely point.
The girl held up a finger, shook it from side to side, and said, "Not exactly." I, Li Mei, have seen a lot of ghosts over the years, and I have seen more people who have seen ghosts, but you are the only ordinary person who dares to do something with ghosts, and I, Li Mei, would like to call you the strongest! ”
"Thanks for the compliment." Lu Li replied calmly. "So can I think about it?"
"Nope."
The girl loses her smile.
All the cheerful atmosphere vanished with a sudden cold rejection.
Lu Li never bowed his head.
Faced with the girl's strength, Lu Li made his own answer expressionlessly.
"What is the name of our division? Are you my sister or master? ”
"I like you very much."
Lu Li, who is very knowledgeable about current affairs, makes Li Mei very happy. She walked up to Lu Li, who was a head taller than herself, patted her shoulder for encouragement, and took out a booklet and handed it to Lu Li.
"What is this?" Lu Li reached out to pick it up.
"Ghost Messenger Book, Underground Civil Service Certificate, Bestiary...... Call it whatever you want. ”
Lu Li tried to understand the connection between the Ghost Book and the Bestiary, and reached out to take it.
There is no word on the cover of the book.,There are no suspicious words such as pricing 0.5 yuan behind it.。 The thickness is only a dozen pages, and the yellowed rough rice paper is some years old, but it feels like warm jade.
Lu Li's brows furrowed slightly: "Ghost Messenger Book...... Is it the one I understand? ”
"Yes, the black-and-white impermanence bull-headed horse-faced kind." Li Mei said shocking words with a normal face.
Lu Li kept his posture still, that is, he did not answer, nor did he open the ghost book.
"Don't believe me?" Li Mei raised her left eyebrow.
Lu Li sighed: "If I believe that this is really a ghost book, then there are many people to believe." If there is black and white impermanence, bull head and horse face, then there is the king of Yama Jizo. If there is the king of Yama Jizo, then there are eighteen layers of hell in the underworld. If there are eighteen layers of hell, then there will be heaven. Heavenly Court has appeared, will the God List and Journey to the West still be fake? Will Erlang God and Monkey King still be fictional? Speaking of Monkey King......"
Lu Li suddenly shut up and turned to the title page of the ghost book.
The original handwriting here seems to be erased by something, and it disappears in a blink of an eye. After a quick glance, Lu Li only saw the word Li Mei.
And new inkblots appear on the title page.
Last Name: Lu Li
Age: 2 years old
Good and evil: deceitful and deceitful
Ghost Spirits Super Degree: One
Yinde: One
Lu Li silently finished reading the content full of slots, and turned to the next page without saying a word.
The second page is bordered by a frame with a sketch sketched in pen and ink, similar to the illustrations of ancient novels.
In the painting, there is a thin figure, full of smiles, and the clothes on his body are drawn with ink brushes, like prison clothes.
Although the painting style is exaggerated and simple, it is enough for Lu Li to recognize it.
The one was swallowed by Li Mei...... A middle-aged male ghost sent to the underworld.
In the upper left corner of the portrait is written the word "sick and dead ghost", and there is another ghost word under it, and the ghost word is drawn into a circle, wrapping the ghost word.
He understood why Li Mei called this thing Monster Illustrated Book.
Try to turn to the second page, it's empty, and then it's the same, it's the only one in the ghost book.
A white palm suddenly stretched out and took away the ghost book. The moment his fingertips left the ghost book, a sense of melancholy emerged in Lu Xuan, as if he had lost the most important thing in his life.
Lu Li resisted the urge to recapture it, and looked away from the ghost book.
"Do you want it?" Li Mei laughed teasingly, and deliberately shook the ghost book in her hand.
"Yes." Lu Li replied without hesitation.
Li Mei suddenly put away the ghost book and said, "You must at least prove that you are qualified to get it." ”
"How?"
Li Mei clenched her fists and broke a finger every time she said something: "Hmm...... First of all, 9,999 ghosts were caught, and their heads were pulled off to form a Jingguan. Next, deal with the 999 evil spirits, tie them up in the sun and expose them to the sun for seven days, and then confess to the 99 evil spirits, regardless of gender. Finally, catch a demon with a wedding ring and drop it along with the ring to the volcano. Not...... That's all for now, if I think of another good idea, I'll send you a follow-up. ”
Li Mei was secretly happy to make it difficult for Lu Li, and suddenly, a yellow light burst out of her hand and fell into Lu Li's palm in a blink of an eye.
Lu Li lowered his head, and the ghost messenger lay quietly in the palm of his hand.
Li Mei was like a lie being exposed, her face turned red and she took it back, and shouted at Lu Li with a broken jar: "Okay! Don't do so much! If you solve three more ghosts, you'll pass the assessment! ”
Lu Li was thoughtful, could it be said that it was not Li Mei who chose herself, but the ghost book?
"You must have a lot of questions to ask at this point, right?" Li Mei put away the ghost book, and her free hands were like burns. "But I'll only answer three questions."
This is Li Mei's last stubbornness.
"Only three?"
"Now it's two."
“…… Does the ghost cha just need to catch the ghost? ”
Lu Li quickly got into the groove and asked questions.
"Not only that, the four types of ghosts and spirits are what we have to do, but the last three are difficult to deal with, you can catch the ghosts first~ There is one last question!"
Lu Li pondered it carefully and asked his last question.
"You're not still in school, are you?"
Li Mei was silent for a long time.
"I'll give you two more chances to ask questions, okay with another one?"
……
-Ten minutes after Li Mei left-
The detective agency was so calm, except for a gap in the secret door of the bookcase behind the desk and chair.
Lu Li stood in the small dark room, the lamp on the table glowed with a dim and yellowish light, stretching his shadow into a narrow and long way.
Strips of paper and photographs cut out of newspapers were pasted on the walls, densely packed and overlapped, all over the walls of the room.
In the dimness, only the headlines of a few newspaper clippings could be read.
[A woman went missing yesterday afternoon on Guluo Street]
[Missing Person Notice: Liu Wenwei]
His girlfriend disappeared five years ago and has not been heard from.
Lu Li never gave up searching, but she disappeared without a trace as if she had evaporated from the world.
If you become a ghost, you will come into contact with another wonderful and dangerous world...... Will there be a catch?
At least......
To live is to see people, and to die is to see ghosts.
