Chapter 33: A New Mission
"Stinky boy, you won't know me so soon, we were on the phone a few minutes ago. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info "The voice of the old man came from the other end of the earpiece.
"I know...... You know, I want to ask, how did you call, my phone doesn't have a battery at all. He Wei stammered a little after speaking, and his whole body trembled involuntarily.
"Hahaha, do you want to know why? You come to the company now, I will tell you the truth of the matter, remember that the address is no longer the original address, I will send you the company's real address by text message, if I can't see your person in an hour, you will disappear from this world forever, hahahahaha......"
"Doot dot toot ......" The other end of the receiver suddenly hung up the phone.
"Hey...... Feed! He Wei saw that the phone was hung up, and a trace of doubt suddenly arose in his heart.
Only about a second apart, the other party sent a text message, the address on the text message is a little incredible, it is on a tall mountain peak, not far from the city, but if you want to walk, it will take a long time.
He Wei suddenly felt a little scared in his heart, and he was a little suspicious of the old man's words, but a series of strange events kept happening around him, causing He Wei to have to believe what the old man said.
After hesitating for a while, He Wei finally mustered up his courage, turned around and walked in the direction of the address that the old man said.
At this time, a blue taxi suddenly drove in the middle of the road, and this taxi kept honking on the side of the road.
The voice reached He Wei's ears, and he immediately looked back and saw a taxi driving not far away, and immediately waved in the direction of the car, and at the same time, the car also stopped on the side of the road.
A neck stretched out of the window of the car and said to He Wei: "Hey, young man, are you in a hurry, get in the car, I'll take you over." ”
He Wei rubbed his eyes, looked carefully at the head sticking out of the car window, was startled, and said loudly: "Why are you again, this can't be so coincidental, did you mean it, I won't take your car." ”
The reason why He Wei said this was because the driver in the car was the white-haired old man He Wei could meet every time he took a taxi, and he could appear next to He Wei in time every time, which made He Wei a little unbelievable.
The white-haired old man stuck out his head, looked at He Wei, and said with a smile: "Hey, don't be so excited, this world is already very small, and it is also a kind of fate that we can meet three times, come, get in the car." ”
"Bullshit, honestly, have you been stalking me?" He Wei suddenly rushed to the front of the car, opened the car door, stretched out his hand and pointed at the old man's nose and said: "You get out of the car for me first, I don't believe there will be such a coincidence, if you don't follow me, then you prove it to me." ”
When the white-haired old man heard these radical words, he didn't get angry, but laughed even more happily, and turned his head to He Wei in a gentle tone: "Okay, if you don't believe me, I'll leave, I don't force you to get into my car, but you have to do it yourself." ”
As soon as the white-haired old man finished speaking, he immediately stepped on the accelerator, and the car suddenly started quickly, speeding towards the intersection in front of him.
"Hey, wait a minute, don't leave yet, figure things out for me."
Although He Wei kept shouting loudly in the back, the old man in the car still did not stop, the car drove faster, and the vehicle disappeared on the road in an instant.
But after a while, another taxi came behind He Wei, also honking its horn.
He Wei turned his head again to look behind him, and found a brand-new blue taxi not far away. After the car stopped on the side of the road, a neck stretched out from the window, and he said loudly to He Wei: "Hey, young man, are you in a hurry, come, get in the car, I'll take you over." ”
He Wei was suddenly taken aback, and the whole person was about to fly, because the driver in the car was none other than the white-haired old man who had just passed by, and he had just driven the car out of the intersection in front of him, but in less than ten seconds, the car ran to the rear of He Wei.
He Wei almost couldn't say a word, just stood in place, his legs kept shaking, he wanted to turn around and run immediately, but it was like a pair of hands on his ankles grabbed him, causing him to be unable to move.
The white-haired old man's face was still smiling, and he kept shouting the same sentence to He Wei.
At this time, He Wei suddenly opened the mobile phone in his palm, looked at the time at this time, and found that ten minutes had passed, and the old man with glasses had told him that he must dare to go to the designated place he said within an hour, otherwise there will be serious consequences.
As soon as He Wei thought of this, his nerves jumped tightly, and he didn't want to care about everything that happened in front of him at all, so he suddenly rushed to the side of the taxi very decisively, opened the door, got into the car, and said to the weird white-haired old man: "I don't bother to care if you are a human or a ghost, I really have something very important to do now, please drive faster." ”
"Oh, young man, don't be afraid, of course I'm alone, and I'll take you where you want to go." The white-haired old man started the engine in the car and drove towards the intersection in front of him.
The speed of this car is very fast, dozens of times faster than usual, there are white flowers everywhere by the window, and you can't see the outside situation at all, it doesn't look like you're in a car at all, it's more like you're riding a spaceship.
After about a minute or so, the car suddenly stopped, and the white-haired old man suddenly said, "Young man, you have arrived at the place, hurry down." ”
He Wei turned his head to look out of the window, and found that it was pitch black, and he could hear the strange cries of strange insects around him, and he suddenly couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, this can't be in the old forest of Senshan, right?" ”
"Of course, the address you gave me is in the mountains, and now that it's here, you better get off the bus quickly, they're all waiting for you."
He Wei stuck his neck out of the window, still couldn't see what was going on outside, retracted his head again, and said to the old man: "Hey, old uncle, you better send me to the door directly, I can't see anything when I get out of the car like this." ”
The white-haired old man took out a flashlight from the car, stuffed it into He Wei's hand, and said, "If you open it, you can light the road ahead, but don't look back, otherwise you will see things that you shouldn't see, you must be careful." ”
"I know the old uncle, but I still want to ask, are you a human or a ghost? Although I am very timid, but my curiosity is also very strong, I mustered every ounce of courage in my body to come to your car, can you tell me the truth? ”
The white-haired old man didn't speak, just lowered his head and smiled.
He Wei didn't continue to ask, and when he thought that he still had something to do, he immediately ran out of the car and walked all the way in the direction of the top of the mountain.
At the same time, the white-haired old man immediately turned around and drove the taxi out of the mountain.
At the moment when He Wei ran out, he suddenly felt as if someone was always following him behind him, and with every step he took, he could hear a light footstep behind him.
But when he thought of the white-haired old man who had told him in the car that no matter what happened, he must not look back, so He Wei did not take the initiative to look back at the situation behind him from beginning to end, but continued to walk in the direction of the top of the mountain step by step.
I was about to reach the top of the mountain, but there were layers of strange stone stairs around me, and there was a red stone pillar on both sides of the stone staircase, and there was a statue next to the stone pillar.
Although there was no obstacle ahead, He Wei still stopped, because he suddenly felt that the person behind him was getting closer and closer to him, as if it had completely attached to his vest, and he could clearly hear the sound of breathing coming from behind him.
He Wei suddenly felt a little numb in the back of his head, and there seemed to be countless insects crawling around in his ears, but he still endured it, closed his eyes, and continued to walk towards the top of the mountain.
"Brother, let's go back and take a look."
He Wei suddenly heard a woman's voice in his ears, which was very sharp, very harsh, and could make the surrounding echoes echo.
He Wei suddenly paused in place for a few seconds, but ignored her voice completely.
With every step he took, the woman's voice could always be heard behind him, and the greetings were exactly the same, sometimes the voice was loud, sometimes small, when it was big, he felt the voice shouting in his ear, and when he was small, he could feel that the woman behind him was several feet away from him.
He Wei quickened his pace, stretched out his hands to cover his ears, completely ignored the confused greeting behind him, and climbed all the way up the hard stone staircase to the top of the mountain.
After coming to the top of the mountain, he found that there was a courtyard in front of him, and there were two middle-aged people in yellow robes standing at the door, all dressed exactly the same, he immediately stepped forward and asked: "Hello, I am new to the company, and someone asked me to report here." ”
But the two yellow-robed middle-aged men at the door ignored him completely, but continued to stand straight on both sides of the gate, standing motionless and stupid, the surroundings were so quiet that they couldn't hear their breathing.
Seeing that they didn't pay attention, He Wei asked again: "Hello, I'm new to the company, and someone called me over." ”
This second greeting, no one paid attention to He Wei's words, he stepped forward carefully and carefully observed the two yellow-robed men standing at the door, and found that their bodies were so stiff that they didn't even blink their eyelids, and they didn't look like a normal person at all.
He Wei subconsciously stretched out his hand and pushed one of the yellow-robed men, and at the moment of pushing down, the yellow-robed man suddenly fell stiffly to the ground, and his arm suddenly fell halfway, at this time He Wei realized that this was not a person at all, but a muddy dummy.
At this time, He Wei suddenly felt very strange, why would he use two clay figures to stand guard at the gate? Wouldn't it be more intimidating to get a statue?
At this time, a female chivalrous guest suddenly rushed out of the gate, and when He Wei looked up and saw it, he immediately became angry and yelled at her: "Why are you again, why are you here?" ”
"Hey! Why can't I be here? Is this your home? The female chivalrous guest looked at He Wei's body carefully, and was suddenly startled, and said: "Oh, your arms are actually stretched out again, it seems that you are really not an ordinary person, and I killed you wrong." ”
"What? I see you're insane, talk to your mouth, get out of here! After He Wei shouted, he pushed it away and swaggered into the courtyard.
The female knight immediately stopped her and said, "Hey, whore, do you know what this place is?" You say you can go in, but you really don't want to live? ”
"Huh! I just don't want to live anymore, hurry up and stay cool, as soon as I see your disgusting face, I will vomit and diarrhea, life is better than death. ”
He Wei's words touched the heart of the heroine, and she immediately stared at her, frowned, pulled out the sword at her waist, pointed at him and said, "You are a thief, you actually hurt people, see if I don't break your body into ten thousand pieces today." ”
"Okay, stop, stop for me."
Suddenly, in a corner, an old man with eyes came out, beckoned to He Wei, and said, "He is a new member of our company, don't be rude, let him in." ”
When the heroine heard this, she slowly put away her sword and muttered to the old man, "Okay, I know." ”
When He Wei saw the old man, he immediately greeted him and said, "Uncle, I have worked so hard to find you, why did you suddenly appear here, what is the important matter?" ”
"Young man, it's not convenient to talk here, you come with me to the hall." After the glasses old man finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the hall inside.
He Wei also followed closely behind him, and when he left, he did not forget to look around and observe all the surroundings, but he still found that there was no difference from a normal mansion.
"Hey, uncle, can't you just say something here, why are you so mysterious?"
Regarding He Wei's sudden greeting, the old man with glasses did not pay attention to him, but continued to walk in the direction of the house.
The two of them came to the hall, and to He Wei's surprise, there were unfamiliar faces in yellow robes everywhere, which were completely different from the ones they had met in the company before. The hall seemed to be very spacious, and he followed the old man into a separate room.
The two came to the room, closed the outside door, and the old man with glasses walked to the coffee table, made a cup of tea and put it on the table, and told He Wei: "Boy, let's have a cup of tea first." ”
"Is this tea? It won't be 'Huilong Soup' again," He Wei picked up the teacup and took a closer look, and found that it was golden again.
"Don't worry, it's not 'Huilong Soup', this is tea made from the best tea leaves." The old man with glasses sat on the stool, looked at He Wei and then said, "You should know that our company is a company that specializes in catching ghosts, and all the Taoist priests recruited are from all over the world. ”
"I know, I know, of course I know, and I also know that these Taoist priests are all Maoshan Taoist priests, right?" He Wei picked up the teacup, blew lightly on the surface of the water, and began to drink it in small sips.
"Well, you actually know, then I won't talk nonsense, this time I came to you to ask you to catch a ghost, originally I wanted you to go alone, but considering the danger of this mission, I can support you two Taoist priests, they are all in the hall, you can choose at will."
"Shall I choose?" He Wei suddenly stood up on the stool, and said, "But I have to figure out one thing first, why did the 10,000 yuan you gave me during the last interview suddenly unknowingly become a stack of dark coins?" ”
"Well, I'll tell you now, this money is actually Stygian coins." The old man slowed down and said: "When you hear this, you may be surprised, but you can still spend this money like a normal banknote, although it is a dark coin, it does not affect its use." ”
"Can it be spent like a normal banknote? Can you make it clear? He Wei asked again in surprise.
"Actually, what I gave you last time was not 10,000 yuan, but 1 million, and the denomination of each coin is 10,000 yuan, a total of 100 pieces, it can buy a lot of good things." The old man with glasses picked up the teacup and began to drink.
"Wait...... Do you mean that even though the money is a dark coin, it can be spent like a normal banknote? So how do you use it? He Wei asked.
"It's very simple, you just have to stuff the money into someone else, how you used to spend it, just use it in that way." The old man with glasses took out a box of expensive cigarettes from his pocket and asked, "Young man, do you smoke?" ”
He Wei didn't go up to take the cigarette for the first time, but asked, "How much is a pack?" I don't smoke anything less than ten dollars a pack. ”
The old man smiled and said, "Hehe, this box of cigarettes was exchanged for a dark coin, which is probably worth about 10,000 yuan." ”
He Wei couldn't believe it, and said, "It's impossible." ”
"Maybe not, when the time comes, you can try it yourself, didn't I give you a million dark money last time, you take it to the roadside stall to see if those vendors accept your money."
The old man put down the teacup in his hand, looked up at He Wei's face carefully, nodded, and said, "Young man, I won't talk nonsense with you now, if you can complete this task, I will give you 10 million, how about it?" ”
"Ten million Stygian coins?"
"Of course, I only have this coin for you to use, but it is not an ordinary coin of the underworld, it has a very unique kind of magic, which can give people a strange illusion, so that everyone can believe it when they see it."
The old man got up from the stool, took out a charm from his pocket, stuffed it into He Wei's hand, and told him: "This mission is very dangerous, you need to wear the charm, so that you can live longer." ”
"Your task is very simple, that is, go to a village and retrieve a piece of jade pendant, it is sure that it is in the village, you go and find it." After the old man finished speaking, he took out a photo from his pocket, which showed the appearance of the jade pendant, and after he gave the photo to He Wei, he said: "Take it, come back as soon as possible after you go, I have more tasks to give you." ”
Although He Wei was a little unhappy, he finally nodded and said, "Okay, you once promised to give me two people, so do you want to help me, or do you completely obey my command?" ”
"Of course it's to help you, what? You still want to command my people? The old man's face suddenly became a little ugly.
"That's not good, you said that this mission is very dangerous, then I must have a chicken feather arrow, otherwise I won't go to kill me." He Wei saw that the old man didn't reply, just sat on the stool and bowed his head in silence, and said, "If you don't agree, then I'll leave and leave." ”
As soon as He Wei finished speaking, he walked out facing the gate without looking back.
Seeing that He Wei was suddenly leaving, the old man immediately persuaded: "Okay, I'll take one person for your command, so it's all right, I've already said this, if you still insist on leaving, then you can go, but if you leave now, you will definitely regret it, because you lost a gold mountain." ”
"Jinshan?" He Wei suddenly stopped, turned to look at the old man, and said, "What do you mean?" Can you make that clear? ”
"I'll tell you now, you may not think so, but you have to think clearly, everyone in this line of work is proud, even if they obey you on the surface, they will do everything they can to clean you down in their hearts." The old man's voice was very heavy, and his emotions were extremely excited.
He Wei hesitated again for a while, and finally chose to agree to the old man, because he knew that it was not easy for him to make some excessive demands and let him agree.
He Wei said suddenly: "Okay, I promise you, I'll go now, then you can arrange a subordinate for me, I'll set off tomorrow to get the jade pendant back for you, how about it?" ”
"I'm afraid it's too late tomorrow, you can go now, bring enough money to the airport, the destination may be very far, it will take several hours to fly." After the old man finished speaking, he walked out facing the door, turned back and beckoned to He Wei, and said, "Young man, come here, I'll take you to meet your new colleague." ”
He Wei nodded immediately, followed closely behind the old man, and after a while, they came to the hall, there were hundreds of people standing up and down in the hall, some men and women, some old and some young, the oldest looked like he was sixty or seventy years old, and the youngest looked only six or seven years old, but their clothes were all the same, they were all yellow Taoist robes, gathered in a row, they didn't look like members of a certain company at all, more like a sect on a certain mountain.
One of the most conspicuous people in the crowd was the tall and thin man He Wei met before, his dress was very high if he walked on the street, shorts and suits, cigars never left his mouth, and with the black sunglasses he wore on his head, he really looked a little bit of dragon head.
When everyone saw the old man walking out of the room, they all stood in place, bowed with their heads down, and shouted in unison to the old man in front of them: "The evil ghosts in the world, sweep the Quartet, exorcise demons, and kill evil ghosts." ”
