Chapter IX: Underground Order

After getting out of the subway, we crossed a street and came to a relatively remote corner.

The old cat and Rhubarb threw Xie Huaiyu, who was tied with a red rope, to the ground, and Xie Huaiyu fell down and screamed.

I stepped forward, stared at Lao Xie, and said, "Is it safe here now?"

Lao Xie stretched out his head and looked around again, and said with a smile: Count, count, it's safer here.

I don't have a good impression of him anymore, after all, this guy just wanted to kill me, I kicked him, and said: Then you have any fart, let it go, if what you say is useless, I will kill you immediately.

Lao Xie smiled and said: Lin Yang, you are stupid, I am already dead, and I will still be a little ghost if you make it again.

Before I could speak, Rhubarb came up and said: Then I'll send you to reincarnation, anyway, you're a ghost, it's a big deal, isn't it?

Lao Xie glanced at the rhubarb vigilantly, and then at the old cat, he seemed to be a little jealous of these two people.

After being silent for a while, Lao Xie finally put on a serious expression and said: Alas, Lin Yang, I don't know where you got these two helpers, it's really a two-hit, okay, let's be a classmate after all, I won't sell it anymore, just tell you everything.

I nodded, quietly waiting for him to tell him what was going on.

Lao Xie sighed and said: Lin Yang, you must think that I am very unrighteous and have become ghosts, but I still don't tell you anything, and I lied to you to meet me again and again, maybe you don't believe it, in fact, the staff who work the night shift in the subway, let alone a small half and a third, are not people.

When I heard this, I was shocked, I definitely don't want to believe this kind of thing, there are so many subway workers in the city, if not 10,000, but thousands, this guy actually said that one-third of them are not people, isn't that sensational?

I shuddered and asked, "You say they're not human?" So what are they, like you, ghosts?

I asked this question was actually just an instinctive reaction, and I didn't think about things like this at all, but what I didn't expect was that Lao Xie actually nodded and confirmed my judgment.

I just heard him say: You really told me, a large part of these staff are ghosts, and I am one of them, so I know very well.

It's not just me, but even the old cat and rhubarb don't believe it. The two of them are professional people who have always walked in the underworld and have come into contact with all kinds of ghosts. But even so, when they heard that a third of the subway staff were ghosts, they were all surprised.

I still didn't believe it, thinking that Lao Xie was lying to me, I frowned and asked: How is this possible? If these workers are ghosts, how do they find jobs?

Lao Xie said: Don't worry, I'll tell you how I died

After speaking, Lao Xie paused and began to speak:

In fact, some time ago, I saw someone carrying a sedan chair in the tunnel at the Lama Temple Station of the subway, and the person on duty was me, not my hair. It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and I was patrolling the platform when I suddenly heard the sound of suona in the tunnel. I was also bold at that time, so I stretched my neck to look without thinking about it, and I saw two people playing suona opening the way, and four people behind me were walking slowly carrying a big white sedan chair

Speaking of this, Lao Xie's face showed a frightened expression, and it could be seen that this incident still made him feel palpitations even now.

Old Xie paused and continued: After I saw it, my first reaction was to hit a ghost, because no one would be able to enter the tunnel, so I hurriedly ran, and left the subway station at that time, got back to our house, and then as soon as I got home, I called my boss to resign, because I didn't want to do this job for a minute, it was too scary

I listened and nodded, Lao Xie was right, I bumped into a ghost at work, if I were him, I would definitely resign immediately.

I only heard Lao Xie continue: But as soon as I finished calling the leader, as soon as I hung up the phone, I heard footsteps in the corridor outside our house, and the footsteps were very heavy, like a big fat man

I was already in a cold sweat when he said this, and there were still people walking around in the corridor of the third watch in the middle of the night, which was very scary in itself.

Lao Xie continued: I was already a frightened bird at that time, and I was even more startled when I heard the footsteps, and then someone knocked on the door, and I was so frightened that I didn't even dare to move when I sat in my living room.

I hurriedly asked: And then?

Lao Xie said: Then the people outside the door began to bang on the door, one by one, hit very hard, I think our door is about to be broken, I don't know if it's the brain into the water or what's wrong, so I ran over and opened the door I was stupid, I saw the person who played suona in the subway tunnel just now standing at the door of my house, he had a big gold tooth, holding suona in his hand, there was no pupil in a pair of eyes, all the whites of the eyes

I was covered in a cold sweat when I heard this, and quickly interrupted him and said: Don't go into such detail, just say what happened

Lao Xie continued: Okay, the suona player walked in directly, and said to me that since I saw his master, I have to do something for him, I didn't have time to speak, my head was dizzy, and I couldn't remember anything, and when I woke up again, guess what I saw?

I listened to him talk so terrifyingly, where was I still in the mood to guess, I could only ask: What did you see?

Lao Xie sighed and said: I saw my own corpse, lying at my feet, not to mention the strange feeling, it really made me feel unacceptable I was in a daze all day, and then I realized that I might be dead, and now I am just a ghost.

I was horrified by Lao Xie's words, and his experience was too terrible, after I somehow saw the person carrying the sedan chair in the tunnel, he was killed by a ghost

I thought for a while and asked: Lao Xie, that suona ghost told you to let you do things for his master, who is his master?

When Lao Xie heard this question, he glanced at me, then showed a cautious expression, and said: You will know in the future, I dare not say the name of my master.

I didn't expect Lao Xie to be so timid, this is very different from his arrogant personality in junior high school, I don't want to ask, I have to ask something else: What then? Why did you go back to working in the subway again?

Lao Xie smiled bitterly and said: It's strange to say, on the seventh day after I died, I had to return to the night of the soul, I suddenly received a call from my original leader, I didn't know that I could still answer the phone after I became a ghost, and the leader seemed to know that I was not a person now, he said in a calm tone, and told me to let me go to the subway tomorrow to work the night shift, and said that this was the meaning of the master

Master again? How powerful does this master have? Can you even order the people of the yang world? The more I listened, the more strange it became, because I would never have imagined that a dead man would work in the subway.

Lao Xie smiled bitterly and said: To tell you the truth, this city is far from being as simple as you know, this city is not only managed by these people on the surface, but in fact, underground, there is another group of people who manage this city together The person in the sedan chair I accidentally saw in the subway tunnel at that time, that is, my master, is actually one of the underground managers

At this point, the old cat snorted, apparently feeling that he had gotten the information he wanted. He and Rhubarb actually came here this time to investigate the people inside the subway tunnel, and Lao Xie is obviously a person who knows the inside story.

But the old cat was very patient, he didn't ask, but quietly waited for Lao Xie to continue.

Sure enough, Lao Xie continued: The person in the sedan chair, that is, my master, should have informed my leader who worked in the subway, and then my leader relayed it to me, asking me to go to work tomorrow. Until now, I have not met my master, but I have occasionally heard from colleagues that my master is very powerful and must not be provoked

When I heard this, I already roughly understood the whole process of Lao Xie's death, and now the biggest question is who the master is.

Of course, there is another question, that is, why did Lao Xie harm me.

As soon as I thought that Lao Xie almost pushed me off the platform just now, I was so angry that I kicked him again and said, "Then why the hell did you want to kill me just now?" Say!

Lao Xie smiled bitterly and said: It's really not that I want to harm you, it's just that you already know my secret, know that I'm not a human being, in order to keep it secret, I can only turn you into my kind You also saw it, in fact, after death, it is not much different from living, but you can't see the sunshine, you can't be with your family

I interrupted him and yelled, "Fucking it's not much different from living?" It's all different, isn't it?

Lao Xie hurriedly said: Okay, even if you are right, but you are not dead, if I really want to kill you, I should have used all my strength when I pushed you on the platform just now, how much strength I have now, you should know, right?

I nodded, Lao Xie was right, he did have a lot of strength when he subdued me in the middle of the platform, if he had pushed me with all his strength, I would have fallen off the platform. Why did he suddenly become so powerful? Could it be because he's a ghost now?

Moreover, who is the master of this guy? Does all this have anything to do with his master?

At this time, I heard Lao Xie suddenly sneer and said: Hehe Lin Yang, if you think about it yourself, you may be able to find out, in fact, even if I don't kill you, you won't live for a few days
