Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Spirit's Complaint
He Lei whispered in the ear of the boy in Tsing Yi for a while, and the boy in Tsing Yi listened to it and praised: "This trick of the adult is really clever, and his subordinates are beyond the reach of the dust." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info”
"It's not too early, let's split up." He Lei said.
It has been dead for four days, and the surroundings are quiet, He Lei pushed open the window, looked at the dark night sky, and deliberately coughed twice.
The boy in Tsing Yi sat at the table, his soul out of his body, turning into a moth and flying out of the window.
The candlelight in the room was dim, He Lei looked uneasy, sat down and stood up again, paced around the room, sighing.
Suddenly, a gloomy wind blew, and the candlelight flickered twice and went out, and the room was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
There was a whimpering sobbing sound downstairs, the sound was very small, but He Lei heard it very clearly.
He Lei touched the door, opened the door, and shouted, "Who?" Is it a human or a ghost? ”
The sobbing stopped abruptly, and only the sound of soft footsteps could be heard, getting closer and closer, as if going up the stairs.
He Lei was nervous for a while, and shouted: "Who? Is it a human or a ghost? ”
A gust of wind blew, and He Lei shivered.
"I—not a human, nor a ghost, I am—a wanderer, I am—the shopkeeper, my lord, you—will—be the master for me, and I—die a miserable—" cried in a deep voice, long and full of sorrow.
"You're the shopkeeper? You want me to call the shots for you? The antelope monster has eaten you, and he has been retributed, what else are you going to do? He Lei asked curiously.
"Our family is not the antelope monster, he is the scapegoat." The shopkeeper said.
"Scapegoat? Isn't he the murderer? Who killed you? He Lei then asked.
"It's a big python, its mouth is like a cave, it opens its mouth and swallows us, our family, all the souls are scattered, only me, and a trace of wandering spirits, waiting for the arrival of adults." Although the shopkeeper did not speak loudly, it sounded very clear.
"You know I'm coming? So you already know who I am? He Lei was curious.
"You are He Lei, we are from Fengcheng, I heard that you became an acting judge, dedicated to avenging our lonely souls and wild ghosts, you also have a follower, I saw him by the river yesterday, he is very powerful." The shopkeeper said.
He Lei was even more surprised, he didn't expect that the shopkeeper knew everything.
"Shopkeeper, how is the situation in Fengcheng recently?" He Lei asked tentatively.
"Alas - don't mention it, it's not been peaceful recently, a few days ago, many young men and young girls disappeared mysteriously, in the past two days, many people have died mysteriously, I don't know what's going on? There was a lot of panic in everyone's hearts. The shopkeeper said.
He Lei was suspicious when he heard it, the black light was blind, and he couldn't see the other side clearly, could it be that the monster was pretending to be a ghost? He Lei was not sure, so he had to test further.
"Shopkeeper, come and sit in the house, if you have any grievances, tell me slowly, I will make the decision for you." He Lei walked into the house, struck a match and was lighting a candle, when a gust of wind blew and the match went out.
"My lord, don't light a candle, I'm a wandering spirit, I'm most afraid of seeing the light, please forgive me." The shopkeeper said.
"Shopkeeper, can you tell me about everything that happened in the store?" He Lei asked.
"Yes, here's the thing, this afternoon, an old man and a middle-aged man came to my shop for dinner, I saw that they were dressed very well, and entertained them with the best wine and food in the store, and the two of them looked very kind, but I didn't expect that they wiped their mouths and left after they were full of food and drink, and they didn't give a penny. My son and the shopkeeper asked them for food, but the middle-aged man was furious, he turned into a giant, opened his bloody mouth and swallowed my son and the shopkeeper into his stomach. I saw that the monster was so powerful, I was so frightened that I hid, who knew that the monster had a very sensitive sense of smell, he smelled my hiding place, and arrested me, I was unwilling, I wanted to find them to theorize, but I didn't expect that the middle-aged man was annoyed and angry, turned into a giant python, opened his mouth and swallowed me. The shopkeeper stopped at this point. According to you, it was not the antelope monster that killed you, but a large python? He Lei couldn't believe it.
"Not bad! It's a big python, he's a snake demon, very powerful. The shopkeeper said.
"Do you know where he is now?" He Lei asked.
"He went to Chengxi Street, where is their lair, my lord, you must destroy them and seek justice for us." The shopkeeper said.
"Alright! I promise you, it's not too early, I'm going to rest. He Lei gave an eviction order.
"My lord, I'm leaving, take care!" The shopkeeper said that a gust of wind blew and disappeared with the wind.
He Lei lit the candle and illuminated the upstairs and downstairs, but there was no ghost, no movement at all.
"Is it really the ghost of the shopkeeper? Could it be a youkai's ploy? He Lei remembered what the shopkeeper said, and felt a little strange.
He Lei returned to the house, closed the window, he sat at the table, connected the strange things that happened in Fengcheng, and came to a terrible conclusion: in addition to the flying centipede, the little scorpion spirit, the antelope monster, there are other monsters in Fengcheng, if these monsters and the evil ghosts who escaped from hell join forces to make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Golden Cicada, where are you? I wonder what you've learned? He Lei muttered silently in his heart.
Besides, the boy in Tsing Yi turned into a firefly and flew out of the window out of his out-of-body body, and circled the yard in the dark, but did not find any clues. When I came to the base of the wall at the entrance of the inn, I saw some flowers and plants next to it, so I flew into the flowers and plants to watch the changes.
It was almost five watches, and I saw a black shadow coming out of the inn, with light steps, walking to the gate, looking left and right, and drifting away after a moment's hesitation.
The boy in Tsing Yi saw it, and then followed, and the black shadow walked lightly, like a ghost, and went straight to Chengxi Street.
At the fork in the road less than 100 meters away from Chengxi Street, another black shadow appeared, two gathered together, clapped their hands, and saw four or five black shadows appear from different directions, came to the fork in the road, babbling a few words, and leaving.
The boy in Tsing Yi saw the black shadows scattered away, and secretly complained in his heart, he didn't have the skill of doppelganger, so he didn't know which way to follow?
Just when the boy in Tsing Yi couldn't make up his mind, someone spoke in his ear, as if to remind him.
