Chapter 11: The Eighth Master

Phoenix Plaza is a large business circle in the center of Lake City. There are not only a variety of food shops, clothing stores, department stores, but also many entertainment venues.

As the sky darkens, there is more and more foot traffic in the square. Weekends are at their hottest for restaurants. All kinds of people carried the group into their respective destinations.

Lu Yunjie pressed his hat and walked with his head down. He didn't like this kind of noisy place with a lot of people, and he didn't like the colorful lights, not to mention, he wasn't in a very good state at this time. I saw that there were several gray stains on his trench coat, and there were two cracks on his back and left sleeve to reveal the undershirt inside.

Hurriedly walking into a path from a no-man's corner, Lu Yunjie came to the back door of a red house.

This red house is a famous bar in Lake City, which has a history of more than 20 years and has never changed its address. Even the old Phoenix Plaza was not able to demolish the house when it was rebuilt. Business here is very hot every night, and at this point, groups of gangsters of young people often gather at the door. However, there was no one at the back door, and it was a place dedicated to garbage dumping.

It was an iron door with a small window, but now the window was obscured by a block.

Lu Yunjie took off his hat and threw it into a trash can behind him, and then knocked on the iron door.

After about five seconds, that little window suddenly opened.

"Who? …… Who to look for? …… What's the matter? ”

It was a man's voice that spoke.

"Lu Yunjie, I'll come to the eighth master to buy some tickets." As soon as Lu Yunjie's voice fell, the small window was closed again.

Lu Yunjie didn't care, just stood at the door and waited.

After about three minutes, the iron door was opened. A big man with a scumbag face looked at Lu Yunjie, and then gave a look to signal Lu Yunjie to go in.

After entering, the big man closed the iron door and continued to guard the door.

It is a narrow passage with a staircase leading to the underground at the corner at the end of the passage. The dim light made the place a little red, and even a little scary.

Bursts of intense and dynamic music came through the walls, and Lu Yunjie couldn't help humming along with the music, and then walked down the stairs.

After walking about 3 floors, Lu Yunjie came to a spacious room...... No, it's a bar, an unusual bar hidden underground.

This bar is not a modern bar, but a bit like a pirate bar in medieval Europe. There are no electric lights, and candles are the only means of illumination. Strangely, it was empty.

In the lobby of the bar, there are several round tables, each with four low stools around it. In the middle of the hall is a bar with a large wine cabinet behind the bar. In the wine cabinet, Lu Yunjie saw many old bottles.

"Yo, there's a lot of good wine, 80-year-old Maotai? 90 years of Rafay? No way! And the 63-year-old Red Star Sanguotou? Lu Yunjie couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course, the wine that I can look at is naturally a rarity."

The sudden words made Lu Yunjie startled. He looked around and saw that there was no one in the bar.

At this moment, a large sprinkler head poked out from behind the bar counter.

"Holy! Eighth master, what are you hiding behind, scaring people! Lu Yunjie immediately screamed when he saw that head.

"Oh, I'm sleeping."

At this moment, the owner of the head stood up slowly...... It's just that when he stood up, he wasn't even as tall as the bar counter in the bar.

The eighth master in Lu Yunjie's mouth...... Actually a dwarf in his fifties.

But all dwarfs have one characteristic, that is, short hands and short feet, and large heads. In addition, at this time, the eighth master's hair was unkempt like an explosive head, and his appearance was funny.

"Boy, I haven't been here for so long, why did you think of coming to sit down today." As he spoke, the eighth master walked to the wine cabinet and took down a bottle of red wine with great difficulty on his tiptoes. Then he took a cup from the side of the bar, filled it and handed it to Lu Yunjie.

Lu Yunjie was not polite, took the wine glass and took a big sip.

"Good wine!"

Although the red wine poured by the eighth master is slightly bitter in the mouth, it has an indescribable fragrance and an endless aftertaste. When the wine enters the stomach, a faint sweet taste begins to fill the entire mouth from the throat.

Lu Yunjie looked at the wine glass with some fascination, and his wrist shook slightly. The purple-red lotion swayed gently, shimmering faintly in the dim candlelight.

The eighth master looked at Lu Yunjie's appearance, sighed, and said, "What, there is still no news?" ”

Lu Yunjie shook his head and said with a smile: "How can it be so easy to ......"

The eighth master nodded slightly. "yes...... Well, let's not talk about it. What do you want today? ”

"Two dozen yellow talismans, ten spirit talismans, three bottles of pure pepper, a box of buckshot, and...... Let's have two psychic runes. Lu Yuanjie said.

"Huh? Pepper? Aren't you going to catch Faceless too? The eighth master said in surprise suddenly.

"Right? Why, someone else came to buy it? Lu Yuanjie asked suspiciously.

"Well, someone came just before yesterday, and it was from the Lin family in Shanbei Province. It seems that there is an interest in the case of the Golden Spring Building. By the way, you can't even handle your own affairs, and you have to spend time dealing with these trivial things? Don't you want to eat in this business too? As he spoke, the eighth master opened the secret compartment under the bar and took out the things that Lu Yuanjie wanted one by one.

Lu Yuanjie shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm not short of that money, it's just that the faceless blood can be psychic, and I may be able to use that thing, so I'm going to take action to do it." It's the Lin family, who has come all the way here, and it's really idle. It's a pity, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint them. ”

The eighth master showed a curious gaze and asked, "Oh? Why? ”

Lu Yuanjie smiled: "Because the culprit of the Jinquan Mansion has been destroyed by me an hour ago." ”

When the eighth master heard this, his expression suddenly became weird: "Then what do you want pure pepper for?" ”

Lu Yuanjie sighed lightly and said, "Ah...... Because the faceless body that committed the crime is only a juvenile body, and there is a perfect body that is close to maturity outside. ”

"What!"

Lu Yuanjie's words surprised the eighth master.

Mature perfect body faceless? Isn't that a joke? The facelessness of a juvenile body is already difficult to deal with, and the faceless face of a mature body not only has the ability to create illusions, but also has the ability to possess itself, which ordinary ghost hunting really can't handle. Even if the eighth master knew that Lu Yunjie had some means, I am afraid that he would have to take a lot of risks.

"Hmm...... I was targeted by a policewoman the other day, and at first I thought the policeman was just suspecting me of being a murderer, but then a faceless one appeared in my shop. When I didn't think of it, I thought that the faceless was just following her, but then I went to the Jinquan Mansion to psychics, and then I thought that it was another one. Moreover, it should have been possessed by the policewoman. ”

The eighth master couldn't help but wipe the sweat on his forehead and said, "It's really surprising." It's rare enough to see a faceless, and there are two at the same time. Could it be the legendary twin faceless? ”

Lu Yunjie took a sip of wine and said: "It should be, this year is a big lunar year, and all kinds of resentful spirits and ghosts will be ready to move." It's also normal to have something you don't usually see. ”

"You're saying it easy. However, you are more and more surprised to me, and you can be safe and sound when you meet the faceless of a mature body. ”

Seeing that the wine in Lu Yunjie's cup had bottomed out, the eighth master took the wine bottle and poured it for Lu Yunjie.

"By the way, you said that the policewoman was possessed, what are you going to do? In Lake City, I don't think anyone but you will be able to save her. ”

Lu Yunjie smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go find her in a while." I deliberately kept her hair. ”
