Chapter 3: The Haunted Building
When I returned to the store, it was the best time of the afternoon on Xueyuan Road.
Shortly after the end of the second class in the afternoon, after the end of the day's classes, the students of Yuanshan University began to go shopping on Xueyuan Road, and there were queues in front of almost every store.
It is rare for someone to queue up to buy freshly squeezed juice at the door of Xinzhai, Li Li and Ma Bin are very busy, quite a woman singing with a husband.
Sun Yang smiled at them and entered the store without waiting for them to speak.
There are people in almost every booth, some girls are discussing the afternoon class while flipping through magazines, handsome guys they meet on the roadside, and Korean dramas they are chasing. And the otaku were watching them secretly.
Seeing Sun Yang coming in, Lu Xiaoling immediately handed him a tray: "Upstairs Seat Four!" β
"High roller!" Sun Yang said in surprise.
The tray was almost full, in addition to one drink, one coffee, one juice, three snacks, three desserts, and even a fruit bowl.
Sun Yang curiously carried the tray upstairs, but saw a fat man occupying the sofa of two people, and was saying something to the two thin men opposite, a man and a woman. The table was littered with photographs, clipped-out newspaper blocks, a mess of photocopies and a large notebookβa look that looked a lot like the main character used in a hit supernatural drama.
"Excuse me." Sun Yang walked towards them, but heard the fat man talking about happiness.
"This haunted house will definitely not be fake this time! I've looked up a lot of information, and 30 years ago, six people were killed here, and one of them was pregnant! Think about it, will this kind of place not be fierce? β
"Not necessarily?" The girl with a pair of big, round-framed eyes began to put away the things on the table so that Sun Yang could put the contents of the tray down. "You forgot the place we went to last time, and you didn't say that it was a fire that killed nine people, and what happened? Mosquitoes fed overnight! β
"This time is definitely different!" The fat man said with a big mouth. "I went to the door, and the place was sealed thirty years ago, with only one janitor watching there during the day and locking the door before dark at night. There are no dogs in that place, why do you say? β
The table was finally halfway cleared, Sun Yang began to put things on the table, and the fat man saw him at this time: "Why are you?" "He was visibly disappointed.
"Sorry, the beauties are busy." Sun Yang said angrily. "Wait for them to come and bring you something?"
"Forget it!" The fat man said with a very generous look. "It's not a very remote place, but it hasn't been developed for thirty years, don't you think it's strange?"
Sun Yang took the opportunity to put the fruit plate and secretly glanced at the photo in front of him, which was a copy of a newspaper, and the front-page photo was a Russian-style building rarely seen in the distant mountains, with the title "The treasurer was dissatisfied with the boss's audit of the accounts, and the staff meeting carried ******** with him, resulting in six deaths and thirteen injuries", and the date was indeed thirty years ago.
"The day after tomorrow is exactly thirty years after this happened." The fat man didn't notice Sun Yang's movements at all, and the horizontal flesh on his face shook as he spoke. "To explore this place, this is the best day! It's another thirty years to miss it! β
"If it's such a wicked thing, then we're still ......," said the dry, thin man as he took a sip of his drink.
"Monkey, don't drop the chain at a critical time! We have been waiting for such an opportunity, think about it, if we can really photograph ghosts and confirm the existence of ghosts, then we will be famous! β
There is a special case management bureau, and you can't be famous...... Sun Yang sneered in his heart.
Even what happened in Luoyi was covered up by the big explosion at the chemical plant, and Sun Yang didn't know what else the Special Cases Administration couldn't cover up.
He suddenly lost interest in what the three men were discussing, put down his things and left.
As he went downstairs, he heard the fat man still excitedly saying, "We will go down in history!" Beauty, I'm coming! β
Good luck to you!
He said silently in his heart.
The newly opened Xinzhai actually has amulets for sale, and in the area behind the counter that few people pay attention to, it is an incomplete version drawn by Sun Yang himself. It is certainly not worth mentioning compared to the limited number of complete versions, but compared to the amulets sold at high prices by fortune tellers and temple masters on the street, it can be said to be a work of conscience.
But the problem is that none of them have been sold so far, which makes Sun Yang inevitably a little frustrated.
Want to pitch it to them?
This thought shook in his mind for a moment, and was quickly interrupted by Lu Xiaoling's envoy.
When the chaos in the store passed, Sun Yang went upstairs to pack his things, only to see a blurry copy in the corner of the sofa, which was the building they were talking about before.
The copy is a little distorted, the color is dull, and it looks a bit ghostly.
"What is this?" Li Li walked past and asked curiously.
"Something left behind by the guests." Sun Yang said, and then casually put it in the drawer of the counter.
β¦β¦
"Excuse me, is Master Sun Yang Sun here?"
Sun Yang looked up and saw that it was a man in his fifties. He was wearing a crisp suit, and the decoration in his heart was simply two extremes.
"I am, what's the matter with you?" He asked.
Obviously, such a person can't come to read the book, and the only explanation is that someone introduced him over to solve some troublesome things.
The man was obviously a little unable to adapt to Sun Yang's age, but the person who introduced him should not be an ordinary person, and he quickly drove away his surprise and suspicion and sat down on the bar stool in front of the counter.
"Master Sun, ...... now Is it convenient? β
At this time, it was already past eight o'clock in the evening, and there was hardly anyone in the store. Lu Xiaoling was settling accounts next to her, while Li Li was watering the flowers and potted plants.
"You say."
The man looked at Lu Xiaoling, who was standing on the side, and finally took out a piece of newspaper, spread it on the counter and moved it to Sun Yang.
Sun Yang was stunned for a moment.
"You wait." He took the copy out of the drawer on the counter and placed it next to it, the same newspaper.
"Master Sun is really amazing!" The man was taken aback. "Then you should know what I'm here for?"
"It's the thirtieth anniversary the day after tomorrow, right?" Sun Yang didn't know how to explain it, even he didn't expect such a coincidence.
"Not bad." The man sighed faintly. "The master is indeed the master. In the past 30 years, there have been accidents in that house every ten years, and it is all thanks to the help of the masters that things have not made a big fuss, and my Xie family's family business has been transferred to my hands safely and without falling. Ten years ago, it was Master Lu Lou who helped, and I heard that Master Sun was Master Lu Lou's master, and I would like you to help me continue to suppress this evil. β
I didn't expect this matter to be related to Master Lu?
Sun Yang and Lu Xiaoling glanced at each other, but ten years ago, Lu Xiaoling was only twelve years old, and she was still in various schools as a little bully, so she didn't know about it at all.
Sun Yang made a cup of tea for the man surnamed Xie.
"Don't rush, you speak slowly." He came out of the counter and sat down beside him.
