Chapter 13: The Mysterious Old Man
No matter how attractive the conditions are, Zhang Xiaodao will not agree, if it wasn't for Dugu Mengrong getting into his body, there would be no him today, he won't do this kind of profit-seeking, even if the conditions they give are rich.
Zhang Xiaodao sternly rejected Ren Ruo's condition of leaving.
Ren Ruoli hurriedly said: "Don't be in a hurry to refuse, give you three days to think about it, we can talk about the conditions again, we can give you a good-looking female ghost, Dugu Mengrong can do it, our female ghost can also do it, Dugu Mengrong can't do it, our female ghost can still do it." ”
Ren Ruoli asked Zhang Xiaodao to arrange Zhang Xiaodao in the guest room and take strict care, anyway, there was no signal on the mountain, so his mobile phone was not confiscated.
After Zhang Xiaodao left, Wujun said: "This kid is so ignorant, he simply forcibly forced Dugu Mengrong out of his body, and then locked this kid up for us to raise ghosts." ”
The third elder said: "You have to study hard with the Flame Holy Envoy in this matter, let him cooperate with us voluntarily, not coercion, fist coercion is not as convincing as interests, and do things willingly, not coercion, inducement, temptation, try not to coerce, otherwise it will be extremely unfavorable to us once the car rolls over." ”
Hua Qianyu said: "If Zhang Xiaodao still refuses to cooperate, I don't know what the Flame Holy Envoy should do with him?" ”
Hearing this, Wujun said, "What does this mean, Lord Huatang?" Is it difficult to speak for Zhang Xiaodao? Could it be that the previous miss was really as they said? The owner of the flower hall deliberately released water? ”
Hua Qianyu said: "I just don't want to use extreme methods, the methods that are unfavorable to us are still used sparingly, he can cooperate willingly This is the best, if he does it brutally, I would have done it before, and I don't have to bother the Flame Holy Envoy to make a move." ”
The Third Elder said, "Qianyu is right to be cautious, I believe that the Flame Holy Envoy has his own measure. ”
Ren Ruoli said: "Zhang Xiaodao's matter will be put aside for the time being, Lin Yan should hand it over to the employer as soon as possible, so as not to have many dreams at night, Feng will not stop there, hand it over to the employer, we get the money, that is, Feng Du rescued Lin Yan from the employer, it has nothing to do with our ghost hunting alliance, our task of catching ghosts has been completed." ”
The Third Elder nodded and said, "That makes sense. ”
Then Xiang Hua Qianyu said to Wujun: "The task of escorting Lin Yan to the Ye family will be handed over to the two of you, don't mess it up again this time, otherwise you will have to think carefully about sending you jobs in the future, the escort task is completed, and you will be paid a lot of money this time." ”
Hua Qianyu hurriedly said to Wujun: "Thank you, Third Elder." ”
Hua Qianyu and Wujun took a few ghost hunters to the Ye family and handed Lin Yan over to Ye Dezheng.
After letting Void and the others check that there was no problem, Ye Dezheng took out a bank card from his body and gave it to Hua Qianyu, and then said, "Help me say hello to the three elders, and I also hope that on the day of Xiao'er's wedding, the Ghost Hunter Alliance can send additional manpower to prevent accidents." ”
Wujun said: "What about this cost?" ”
Ye Dezheng hurriedly said: "I understand the rules, I will give this money separately when the time comes." ”
The ghost hunting mission was successfully completed, and the three elders were also relieved, and the face of the Ghost Hunting League was finally saved.
People need bark for faces, and cement for poles. Reputation is extremely important to the Ghost Hunter League, and the Ghost Hunter League has never missed a beat, which is why they have been able to grow. A single miss can cast doubt on their strength.
The Ghost Hunter League's treatment of Zhang Xiaodao is not bad for the time being, the first-class room is lived, the delicious food is eaten, and there is a special service Yahuan, the treatment is still okay, but this is also temporary, once Zhang Xiaodao refuses, such treatment will be gone immediately, if you cooperate, the treatment will be improved, this is really attractive, it is difficult for ordinary people to resist.
Dugu Mengrong didn't understand whether Zhang Xiaodao was just deliberately delaying time to raise his salary, or if he was sincere, he didn't think about betraying himself.
"Are you really planning not to accede to their demands, or are you deliberately delaying your time by inflating your salary? If you want to elevate the salary, I'll talk to you about it. I was afraid to know Zhang Xiaodao's inner thoughts, but Dugu Mengrong couldn't help but ask, maybe I want to die.
Zhang Xiaodao didn't answer her question directly, but asked, "Do you really want to know?" ”
Dugu Mengrong said: "I just want to die to understand, no matter what decision you make, I can understand, people don't kill for themselves, after all, the conditions they give are really high, and if it were me, it would be inevitable to be tempted." After all, you are difficult to replace, and I am easy to be replaced, for the Ghost Hunter League, it is still possible to find a few beautiful female ghosts for you. ”
Zhang Xiaodao said: "If you want to say that you are not tempted, it must be false, but you have to be a principled person, there are no rules, there is no square circle, there is no principle, there is no lower limit, it will definitely not work." Eighteen years ago, I should have died, you saved me, my life is yours, you should know very well who I am, no matter how high the conditions they give, I will not agree, you don't come out in my body, they want to force you out, unless you kill me first. ”
This result is good for Dugu Mengrong, and she is happy and a little worried in her heart, if Zhang Xiaodao refuses to cooperate, who knows what they will do.
Dugu Mengrong said: "You can also prove that what I did at the time was right, I didn't save the wrong person, but if we both want to die, I still hope that you try to save yourself, dying together seems to be emotional, but in fact it is very stupid, you can live one, why do you have to die both." ”
Zhang Xiaodao said: "You are such a good-looking female ghost, I am reluctant to let you die." ”
Zhang Xiaodao's attitude determines whether she has any hope of living, anyway, at present, Zhang Xiaodao can survive as long as she agrees to cooperate, but for her, whether Zhang Xiaodao agrees or refuses, don't want to live.
At half past twelve in the morning, a paper crane with a folded rune paper flew out of the body of the sleeping Zhang Xiaodao and left the station of the Ghost Hunter League, and no one from the Ghost Hunter League found this paper crane, let alone its whereabouts.
At half past twelve o'clock in the morning the next night, an old man wearing a hat appeared in the room of the third elder, and sat on the table in his room drinking tea.
When he saw the old man, the three elders sat up and said, "Who are you?" Dare to trespass on the Ghost Hunter Alliance's station. ”
"Being the three elders of the Ghost Hunting Alliance is different, even I don't know who it is." The old man snorted coldly.
Hearing this, the third elder said in a trembling voice, "Master...... Brother? ”
The old man said, "It's good to know who I am." ”
The third elder hurriedly put on his clothes and sat down in front of the old man in the hat, and said enthusiastically: "Senior brother, you said you, don't come to say hello in advance, I will prepare wine and food, and you will have a good drink with senior brother." ”
Then he said: "I want to say goodbye to Maoshan back then, so many years have passed in a blink of an eye, junior brother, I have been very worried about my senior brother over the years, but there has been no news of my senior brother, this time I came, I said that I would have to stay for a while, it was best not to go, I was really reluctant to leave." ”
The old man said angrily: "Worried? You don't think I'll die sooner. ”
"Senior brother, where are these words, junior brother, I really miss you, and I miss the time when I cultivated in Maoshan back then."
"I didn't have the leisure to gossip with you, so I immediately let Zhang Xiaodao go."
"Zhang, what?"
"Zhang Xiaodao."
"What trail?"
"Don't play fool with me."
"I'm not pretending to be confused, senior brother, what kind of avenue and small road are you talking about, junior brother, I really don't know." The three elders looked like they didn't know anything, and they were going to deny it to the death.
The old man said angrily: "If I can come to you, I must know that people are here with you, you know what kind of temper I have, you have nothing to do with letting people go, otherwise if I do it, it is still okay to raze your ghost hunting league station, don't think that I am afraid of you ghost hunters, your senior brother will always be your senior brother, don't look at your senior brother is old, but your senior brother and I have never bragged, you senior brother and I have the strength to weigh it yourself." ”
