Chapter 19: Wage Earner William
The "Bloody Afternoon in Times Square" incident in New York has had a major impact on American politics and the people as much as the 911 terrorist attacks. The media around the world have been reporting on this incident for a while, but Wang Xu and Mao Ye, the two guys who were in the center of the storm, took a special plane back to China that night.
After dozens of hours of flying, they finally returned to S City, and Wang Xu went straight to Yanli's residence as soon as he got off the plane. When he arrived at the place, he didn't care about the shocking world, and flew up to the balcony on the eighth floor, and deceived himself: Anyway, it's only five o'clock in the morning, there are not many passers-by, and no one will see me.
He came to the floor-to-ceiling window and was about to break it in, when someone opened the curtain from the house.
Wang Xu's expression froze instantly, and the person in the room turned out to be Shang Lingxue.
She looked at Wang Xu with the eyes of a wicked young woman who was molesting a good woman, and leaned over to open the latch on the ground in a very charming posture, and slowly opened the floor-to-ceiling window.
"What do you want to do when you're in such a hurry?" She smiled and threw out a difficult question to answer.
Wang Xu stammered, "Why are you ...... here?"
"As soon as Senior Sister Yan's spiritual sense appeared, I came over and stayed with her." Shang Lingxue leaned forward a few points, "What?" If you don't notice my spiritual sense, you think I'm definitely not there, right? If I'm not in this room, what are you going to do? ”
Wang Xu was almost speechless, and cold sweat whizzed out of his forehead: "I, I, I...... I...... I'm here to ...... It's ...... here" He suddenly changed his expression, and said to himself thoughtfully: "Huh? Oh, yes...... Why am I in such a hurry? ”
Shang Lingxue stopped laughing at this time, she snorted coldly: "She's in the house, she hasn't woken up yet, what do you want to do, I'm leaving, goodbye." The last two words are one word at a time, which vividly expresses his unhappy mood.
Wang Xu stood in front of her: "I'll say hello to her and report safety." ”
Shang Lingxue ignored him, pushed him aside with one hand, and walked in the direction of the balcony herself, it seemed that she was going to leave by air route.
Wang Xu continued the sentence just now: "Then, I will talk to you alone. ”
Shang Lingxue stopped and glanced back at him, only to see Wang Xu's face full of **** and smug strange expressions.
"Although we can't probe each other's consciousness, you don't have a face and no skin anyway, what can't you say? Do you have to put on such a lewd face to explain your inner workings? ”
Wang Xu was stunned when he heard this, put away his face, and then leaned into Shang Lingxue's ear and whispered two words.
The other party replied: "That's right, you said it earlier." ”
Wang Xu nodded and smirked: "Then let's negotiate?" ”
Shang Lingxue also learned his tone, and replied with a smile while nodding: "Hehe...... Believe it or not, I gelded you? ”
…………
The days went on like this, and a month passed in the blink of an eye, and the news media reports on the events in New York stopped one after another, after all, it was a foreigner's business.
Wang Xu returned to school, and with the article "European Religious Conspiracy and **** in the Fifteenth Century" concocted for him by Mao Ye, he successfully mixed into the second grade......
This month was generally peaceful, and Elbert didn't even ask him to help, which made Wang Xu feel very relieved that this foreign apprentice could finally take charge on his own. Then you can devote yourself to the plan of building the future 3P cause......
The attitude of the two beauties towards Wang Xu is still if they are leaving, they are still snuggling up to you today, and they may turn their faces tomorrow, and the day after tomorrow they will come over and pinch your tired embarrassed face as if nothing happened, all in all, the conclusion is that women are really fickle.
Sometimes Wang Xu thinks, what if I find a place where no one is around, and just knock down one and try to react? But he stayed at the stage of thinking, if he really wanted him to use violent means, he was reluctant, those two sisters were his nemesis, they didn't cry or make trouble, they could still hold him in the palm of their hands.
Autumn is coming again soon, Wang Xu likes this season very much, and he can't say what the reason is, maybe it's simply because the weather is neither hot nor cold.
One day at noon, Wang Xu was eating in the cafeteria, he held a spoon in one hand and looked ahead blankly. He saw Qi Bing and Yu Xinlang passing by affectionately in the distance, Shang Lingxue and Yan Li deliberately sat not far from him talking and laughing, a lily scene full of affection.
Look at yourself again, although the whole school thinks that he enjoys the blessings of all people, in fact, what is the difference between him and a lonely person?
"Hey......" Wang Xu sighed deeply, then got up, went out, stepped on his old bicycle, and set off towards the supernatural detective agency.
Half an hour later, he came to the familiar black cat bar, the familiar door sign said No. 13 Dongfang Road, turned into the familiar alley next to it, tied his classic car with iron chains on a familiar street lamp pole, and bowed his head to greet the familiar dog who was peeing at his feet: "Bad dog!" ”
Walking up the familiar fire staircase and coming to the familiar doorway, the dazzling words of the supernatural detective agency made me feel a familiar egg pain......
Pushing open the door, inside was a familiar mess and an acquaintance - Elbert.
However, Wang Xu saw another person, and he almost blurted out: "Why are you here?" ”
William sat slumped on the sofa, his eyes were dilated, and he was unusually decadent: "Work-study." ”
Wang Xu turned to Er and said, "What's going on?" ”
El replied, "He's working here." ”
"You're going to die......" Wang Xu didn't know who he was talking to.
William replied with a wooden expression: "Since I came back from Canada last time, I can feel a lot of strange things wandering outside at night...... The light is better, the deserted mansions, the dark corridors ......"
"Okay, okay...... I see, the initial awakening of spiritual consciousness. Wang Xu interrupted: "To the point, why did you become a wage earner?" ”
"Anyway, I've been out of luck since I met you...... Forced to play games with ghosts or something...... Receiving psychiatric treatment or something...... Dig up corpses in the walls of a hotel or something...... Caught in a ghost town or something in Canada......
None of this is too bad. Just returned to China a while ago, there was an accident at home again, my father was suspended from Shuanggui and imprisoned, although the final sentence has not yet been announced, but it is estimated that he may not be able to get out in his lifetime...... My mother died early, and now this stepmother, who is not a few years older than me, seems to want to abscond with money or something, and was later found by the police in the escape, but when she was driving to escape the pursuit, she rolled over and died on the spot.
I'm now a family with a lot of debts, my girlfriend has broken up with me, and the friends at school naturally regard me as a beast and stay away. Villas, sports cars, or whatever, it's all in vain! Floating clouds! Fortunately, I paid my tuition for this semester in advance, otherwise with my current situation, there is no school cafeteria and dormitory, and it is possible for me to ask for food. ”
Wang Xu touched his chin and said, "Hmm...... It's really sad to be in the middle of the family, but to work in this office is probably a kind of suicide that makes it worse...... Do you think our unit looks like the kind of organization that pays wages on time? ”
William said: "I don't care, I can earn next year's tuition, if I can't earn it, just drop out, I have decided to work here in the future." ”
Wang Xu smiled: "Oh? I didn't expect you, a gentleman, to have such an enlightenment. ”
The voice of the cat master came from behind Wang Xu: "Enjoy the wealth of the world, go through the hardships of the world, and the ups and downs, before you can realize it." ”
"You're not on duty at school, why are you here?" Wang Xu asked.
The cat master walked to the sofa and sat down: "You can skip class in the afternoon, can't I skip class?" ”
Wang Xu couldn't complain about this irresponsible office worker, and continued the topic just now: "No wonder El hasn't looked for me much recently, it seems that William can still come in handy." ”
William said: "I am not very talented in spiritual ability, and until now, my spiritual sense has only stayed at the point where I can only touch ghosts, and it can't really help much. ”
Wang Xu said: "I only don't understand one thing, you have also seen some dangers in our industry, and the future is self-evident." With your current situation, if you find a serious place to work, mix for a few years, and wait until you graduate from college, you can find any job you want with your Xiangyi diploma, and it won't be difficult to pay off your debts at that time, right? Is it necessary to make ghost hunters a lifelong career? ”
William laughed, "It's funny...... he looked up, "Those who spent all day drinking with me and calling each other brothers and sisters are now far away from me like the plague; And you, the number one bastard bully in my eyes, are thinking about my safety and future? ”
Wang Xu shrugged: "I'm just talking about things and giving you some pertinent advice, of course, the fire pit of the ghost hunter, if you are willing to jump in, I will never stop you." ”
"According to me, this is a very pure, sympathetic sympathy that S has for M." The cat added.
"If you don't speak, you'll die!" Wang Xu said.
William replied: "In my twenty years of useless life, the most correct and proud decision I have made is probably to join this industry, and I will never regret it." And now that I think about it, this kind of thing in the past year is also fate. ”
Wang Xu said: "That's good, since the matter is settled, you worship me as ......"
Elbert said, "I'm already his introducer. ”
"You German devil is pretty fast......"
El showed a sinister smile: "I have escaped the fate of the 10,000-year-old little brother, hahahaha!" ”
…………
The four men just got together and chatted all afternoon, and those who should have gone to class did not go to class, and those who should have gone to work did not go to work.
The cat master was the first to leave in the evening, and he didn't go to class, but he had to go back on time.
The three of them went out together for a cheap dinner and a little wine. In fact, Wang Xu's alcohol consumption is very poor, basically he can only drink beer, two bottles down is the limit, and the rest is solved by William and Elbert.
After ten o'clock, the sky was like ink, Wang Xu and William said goodbye to El at the food stall, and the two decided to walk back to school.
Autumn evenings are always a little cool.
"Ahh William sneezed, wiped his nose with his sleeve, and complained, "It's really cold on this day, it's only October." ”
Wang Xu replied casually: "Hey...... A rookie is a rookie, haven't you noticed that we have entered the ghost mirror? ”
William instantly became excited, and most of the wine woke up, "What? ”
"You're so cowardly, how can you catch ghosts?" Wang Xu is still calm.
"That's how I am...... It's not the first day you've known me. ”
"Huh...... In other words, you're scared, but you're not ambiguous, right? Wang Xu smiled and said, "I suddenly have a good idea......
