One day in early July, the streets were scorching with heat.

If you want to talk about the climatic conditions of this S city, it's really not good, it basically belongs to the kind of summer heat and winter cold, and in the middle of summer and the high temperature, the asphalt road is so hot that it can be used to fry poached eggs. There is no way, this year, the amount of carbon emitted in big cities ......

At noon, a man in ragged clothes arrived at No. 13 Dongfang Road. He turned into the side alley, walked up the fire staircase to the second floor, and pulled out the string of keys from the pocket of his worn-out jeans.

The door opened, and there was a foreigner sitting in the room, who was watching TV there bored, and when he saw the people who came in, he didn't bother to move at all, but asked in a very casual tone, "Are you back?" ”

Wang Xu closed the door, picked up a thing on the table that was three points like a towel and seven points like a rag, and wiped his face: "It's terrible...... That hide-and-seek monster ......"

Elbert said, "That poster demon I dealt with is amazing." ”

Wang Xu was dissatisfied: "Oh! Terrible? Awesome, why did you come back earlier than me? ”

Elbert smiled bitterly: "I'm just ten minutes ahead of you......"

At this time, there was a sound of parking outside, and after more than ten seconds, the door opened again, and it was the cat master who came in, he was in good spirits and didn't sweat much: "Yo!" Boys, is this morning's battle over? ”

Wang Xu squatted in front of the refrigerator rummaging through cold drinks: "Don't worry, the struggle with you on the road of my life has never stopped......"

Master Mao smiled: "I'll just come over to take a look, it seems that you are doing a good job, then I will rest assured." He said as if he was going out.

"Let's go? I said, who runs this office? Wang Xu said unhappily.

Mao Ye said: "At this stage, I already have other jobs, although July and August are holidays, but I am relatively busy in life, so what do I say...... From now on, this place will be in charge of the two of you. ”

Elbert interjected: "Mr. Cat, since we talked about management, I have to mention that our firm has a serious financial deficit!" ”

Wang Xu said more directly: "Hmm...... To put it simply, the two of us are so poor that we can't open the pot. ”

They really didn't deceive people, although the main business place of the cat master's supernatural detective agency is still catching ghosts, but the real source of income has to rely on taking over some ordinary commissions.

We have also mentioned before that when the cat master was working alone, the most profitable business here was to find evidence of the cheating of the rich and rich women. Audio recordings, photographs, and even video recordings. The cat master can get it all, and his methods can't be described by being clever or professional...... That's a god's ......

But when he and Wang Xu went to Chengdu, this place basically became a scene of Elbert supporting alone, this handsome German guy, aside from technical problems, just the image of his foreigner...... It is too eye-catching to do the business of tracking and secretly shooting, which directly leads to the loss of a lot of customers.

Moreover, there are indeed not many people who will hire private detectives these years, Wang Xu and Elbert are equivalent to accepting an agency from the cat master that has no real profit and can only earn some ghost coins.

"The ghost coins sent by Uncle Tuowu, the regent, and the first few times a marginal person spent money to buy some information here, although it feels like we have money in our pockets...... But you can't take this paper money out and spend it, right? Wang Xu asked.

Master Mao thought for a while: "Hmm...... It makes sense, so let's ......" He took a pen and paper on the table and drew it, completing a scribbled map in just a dozen seconds, "You can go to the 'scare box' and exchange some cash." ”

Wang Xu and Elbert both had an inexplicable expression, and asked in unison, "Where are you going?" ”

"The Scare Box is a place name, you go three blocks south, find a sewer opening, and go in, huh...... Don't forget to cover the manhole...... Then, follow my instructions in this diagram, walk for fifteen minutes, and you should be able to find it. It's the underground trading center of S City, where marginal people, ghost hunters, monsters, ghosts, and all kinds of guys are there, where you can exchange all kinds of materials you want, and of course, if you are in such a hurry to exchange money, you must give some profits to others. The cat explained.

Wang Xu was shocked at the time: "What? There are a bunch of demons and monsters gathered in the sewers, and you, the person in charge of the city, know that you don't care? Are you ready to promote economic prosperity? ”

Mao Ye said disdainfully: "Almost every big city has such a market, each with its own name, and there are also such markets in several neutral cities in the Yin and Yang world. The basic rules of entry are to hide spiritual sense, ensure neutrality, do not fight or cause trouble, and if there are any personal grievances, they will always go outside to settle them. By the way, you have to strictly abide by what I said above, or else you ......."

Elbert's expression became a little nervous: "How else can I ......?"

"If you break the rules there, the boss of that market will come and sanction you...... I won't talk about the specific situation, so as not to scare you, anyway, remember, although this 'scare box' is under S City, it is not under the jurisdiction of the person in charge of the city, and if you cause trouble, you can only ask for more blessings. The cat master replied: "Hmm...... I have been talking to you for a long time unconsciously, but I came here on the way home from shopping, and I have to go, goodbye. ”

The cat master closed the door and left, and he could still be heard running down the stairs and starting the car, Elbert shrugged: "Do you need to be in such a hurry?" ”

Wang Xu said: "Let me think about it...... If he goes back too late, he may be slapped into the wall by his wife with a frying pan, and he won't be able to pick it out......"

Elbert wiped the sweat from his forehead: "Hey...... I really don't understand why a married man should get married when his life is like a nightmare. ”

Wang Xu tore off the torn clothes on his body, and pulled out a fairly clean T-shirt from nowhere, "I didn't understand it before, but recently I ......" He looked ahead and thoughtfully: "Forget it, when you meet a good woman one day, you will understand." ”

At one o'clock in the afternoon, the two of them went out to eat two bowls of the cheapest beef ramen, and then walked three streets south as the cat said.

Elbert found a manhole cover at random, put two fingers into the gap, and lifted the manhole cover without much effort, Wang Xu glanced at him: "I have been strong lately." ”

Elbert replied to him in Chinese: "Carving insect skills." ”

Unexpectedly, Wang Xu immediately answered: "It's really not good, why don't you two do this business of stealing manhole covers in the future......"

"Hey...... It's against the law......"

"Brother El, we're superheroes, don't care about those little things."

Elbert's complaining skills are obviously not on the same level as Wang Xu, so he finally chose to shut up......

The two walked through the sewers according to the map given by the cat master, although this place is dirty and smelly, and there are some disgusting objects on the water surface from time to time that you can only see in nightmares, but fortunately, Wang Xu will close the sucking spell and divide the water spell, for him who can't swim, among the seventy-two absolute rules of the demon chapter, he first learned these two tricks. Elbert was also stained with Wang Xu's light, otherwise when he arrived at his destination, the stench on his body might have made him ashamed to talk to people.

Perhaps unfamiliar with the route, they made half an hour of detours in the sewers before reaching their destination. Then, what entered Wang Xu and Elbert's sight was a very strange scene.

At the intersection of many circular pipes less than one person high, an arch-shaped pipe with a slight upward slope appeared, and looking inside, it was a small room, and in the room, there were four elevators.

The doors of these four elevators are also in different colors, which are green, yellow, red, and black.

Wang Xu and Elbert glanced at each other and walked into the room one after another. Then they noticed that there was a female ghost in white waiting for the elevator like them, and the reason why they could be sure that she was not human was simply because she had everything on her face, but she had no skin......

Muscles, bones, eyeballs, gums, everything can be seen clearly, and judging from the current time period, a character like her who can haunt during the day, and has no geographical restrictions, and can walk around, must be a relatively powerful ghost.

"What are you looking at?" She said fiercely to Wang Xu and Elbert.

Elbert really didn't know how to answer, but Wang Xu was quite calm: "This eldest sister ......"

"Who is your eldest sister? I'm only eighteen! She yelled in that standard aunty voice.

"Hmm...... This young lady ......," Wang Xu said again.

"What Miss! Who is Miss? You stinky rascal! Take advantage of me?! ”

"That'...... This girl. Wang Xu paused here for a moment, and seeing that she didn't seem to have a seizure this time, she continued: "May I ask, what kind of scare box are you going to?" ”

"How?" She glanced at the two of them with her round eyes, "You're here for the first time?" ”

Wang Xu was also a big boss back then, and he knew very well in his heart that in this case, he could only say three points when he met people, and if he told the truth, Bacheng would be fooled, so he replied very naturally: "No, no...... Of course not, we just haven't been here for a while, and we want to ask about the current market, I wonder what this girl is buying? ”

"Why should I tell you?" She didn't say angrily, but then she spoke again: "Cut...... Actually, I don't tell you anything, I heard that a kappa smuggled a batch of high-quality oil paints from Japan, and this girl is going to get some to try. ”

Wang Xu said in his heart: Just try your face? Even if you put it on, it looks better than it does now......

But he said, "Oh...... This girl is naturally beautiful, and she must be even more graceful after using it......"

When Elbert heard this, goosebumps fell directly to the ground.

"Hmph...... It's up to you to say that. This aunt's voice actually accepted Wang Xu's compliment very calmly.

At this time, even Wang Xu felt a little creepy: "Actually, I am also quite interested in that batch of imported goods, I wonder if I can go with the girl and go to see and see together?" ”

"With your feet on your own, can I stop you?" The attitude of the female ghost in white is still lukewarm.

At this moment, the green elevator door opened, and a guy wearing a pumpkin head came out, followed by a white sheet floating in the air.

"It's too hot."

"Isn't it? My head is almost ripe and smells like pumpkin pie! ”

Looking at the backs of these two, Wang Xu and Elbert were thundered again......

They followed the white-clothed female ghost into the green elevator, and the person in charge of driving the elevator was a very short fat man, he was in a suit and leather shoes, with a pointed nose on his face, and a shrewd glint in his eyes.

Wang Xu searched for a long time and found that there was only one button in the elevator, and it was not in a place where ordinary people could press it. The button was positioned very close to the ground, shaped like the sole of a foot, or more precisely, like a duck's flippers.

I saw that Humpty Dumpty stretched out his foot and kicked the button, and it was just right......

Elbert whispered to the king, "Isn't this the legendary penguin......

Wang Xu laughed dryly: "Don't worry about this for now, have you noticed?" As soon as we entered the elevator, he didn't ask us where we were going, he just kicked the button, it seemed ...... It's actually a direct elevator, right? So if this one is the one that leads to the so-called 'scare box', the other three ...... Where did it go? ”
