Chapter 169: The Ghost (3)
Click!
The monster's feet were held up, and it was dangerous, only an inch away from Cheng Ran's cheek...... Then, Mu Qingyang shouted: "Old ghost, I've seen enough of the play...... It's time to save people! β
Whoosh suddenly pierced the monster directly from behind, and then puffed directly split the person into two halves, Lu Lu Jian circled around Mu Qingyang very proudly, and returned to the sword box, the old demon of Montenegro laughed in the sword: "Hehehehe...... This little guy is really funny...... I haven't learned to speak, and I still kidnap hostages and negotiate with you? β
"So, it's really the ghost egg that took control of this corpse?" Mu Qingyang picked up a transparent round egg the size of a glass bead from the middle of the corpse, and a thin slit was cut in the middle of the egg, and dark yellow juice flowed out.
"Ghosts? What's that, are you talking about this guy...... Depend on! β
As soon as Cheng Ran woke up, he jumped away like a scald - the internal organs of the big pool flowed out of the place where the body was cut, and even his body was stained with a lot of light.
"What kind of ghost is this? A small minion at best...... What are you stunned about? Let's go! Mu Qingyang stepped on the round egg with a sloppy kick, turned around and walked out the door, there was still a lot to do...... For example, someone needs to clean it here?
"Where are we going now?" Cheng Ran parked his car at the fork in the toll booth, which headed to Chen Guangquan's wetland breeding park and the city.
"When we go to the archives of the city bureau, we need to consult the ......"
Mu Qingyang was listening carefully to the radio, and a woman with a big tongue was announcing the news. The most eye-catching thing is the news of the mysterious drowning case of a local tycoon and the thunderstorm coming to X City again, so when Cheng Ran asked him, Mu Qingyang did not hesitate to point to the next destination to the archives.
Although there is a kan in the name. In fact, this is just a two-story blue brick building full of old files and documents, if it weren't for Cheng Ran leading the way, Mu Qingyang definitely didn't believe that this abandoned building full of barren grass and cobwebs would be an important place for the city to store relevant files.
Creak...... Ga...... Bang Dang!
The thick wooden door emitted a hard friction, and then slowly closed heavily behind Mu Qingyang and Cheng Ran......
The corridors are dark, and the dΓ©cor is very much in line with the pre-80s aesthetic, with teal terrazzo floors and blue-green paint as wall coverings. From the half-human-high position, there is a mottled and peeling yellowish wall skin, and you can see that the brown hemp rice stalks inside are trembling slightly.
Step, step, step......
In the empty environment, the footsteps of the two of them seemed very heavy in the hallway. As he reached the oncoming main staircase, a gray figure the size of a head flapped his wings and flew in front of him, peeking through the half-open window on the second floor and landing on the tree.
Tweeted...... Mutter...... Rattle!
This is an owl foraging. The rat in its mouth was half dead. Right now, he tilted his head and looked at it coldly......
"Ah...... Hehe, that's what happened? Scare me......" Cheng Ran laughed heartlessly, in his old work unit, he was inexplicably extremely stable, and his courage was invisibly a lot bigger.
As for Mu Qingyang, he has seen a lot of those ghosts and demons, of course he will not be disturbed by this little episode, and seeing that Cheng Ran has recovered from the fright just now, he smiled slightly. I continued to the second floor, where there was a sign in the lobby and the file warehouse on the left side of the second floor.
"This old office building is a product of the seventies. Now it's only used to put those old materials and files, and some obsolete materials or something. I used to clean here when I was an intern, and there were still a few old comrades here, but after they retired, there were few people who frequented it. Cheng Ran went upstairs and pointed at Mu Qingyang to introduce the situation, he used to work in the sub-bureau, so he was very familiar with these allusions.
"Is the bureau strapped for money? How could the archives be like this...... Not to mention renovation? β
"I heard that it is being rectified, and it is estimated that this place will be demolished soon, but I heard that many old comrades are unwilling, and they have also reported to the provincial department and city bureau, asking to keep this old building as a thought."
"It's not surprising that old people think this way."
"The problem is that the leaders of the sub-bureau don't think so, I heard that the sub-bureau chief ...... Yes...... It's the one you saw two days ago who thanked the king. This is the leader who has been transferred for less than two years, and he has long looked at this old building unpleasantly, and it is estimated that this building will still not be able to escape the end of demolition......"
"Not necessarily, right?"
The two of them were talking energetically when someone suddenly picked up in the corridor on the second floor.
"Hello! I'm Zhou Xuemin, the administrator of the archives, and you can call me Lao Zhou. "The man who came was gray-haired, wearing a half-worn old police uniform, and he was a thin little old man.
"Hello Lao Zhou! We are from the National Security Special Service, which is our ID and the permission certificate of the bureau leader...... This time, I mainly came to read the case files related to the farms in Nancheng Wetland Park. Cheng Ran immediately saluted the old comrade, and then introduced the intention in a serious manner, and showed him his certificate.
Mu Qingyang squinted his eyes and looked at Lao Zhou, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, but he quickly returned to that expressionless appearance, and only stood behind without saying a word, looking like he was full of shelf......
Cheng Ran just wanted to introduce the two of them, but when he turned his head and saw Mu Qingyang's stinky expression, he immediately dispelled this thought, and said to Lao Zhou with a smile: "Lao Zhou, let's go public and then private, and when we are done with business, let's go down and find a place to sit together, and we, the younger generations, can learn more from old comrades like you!" β
"You're welcome! You are welcome...... It's all a family, a family ......" Lao Zhou seemed to be very easy-going, and he took the lead in leading the way.
The old man looked thin and small, but his steps were brisk, and in a few steps he came to a tin safety door, and with a tug of his hand, it opened half of it silently.
There was not a small space inside, densely packed with neatly arranged filing cabinets, and he opened a drawer without thinking. He pulled out two thick file bags from it and handed them over: "It's all here...... That's right! I remember that there is a county chronicle next door, which is a historical material about the city, so you can wait in the reading room first. I'll come when I go......"
"Yes...... That's a bother, the reading room is still on the first floor, right? Cheng Ran took the bag with a smile and said.
"yes...... If you know, go over by yourself, and I'll be here in a moment. Lao Zhou nodded at the two of them, and then hurriedly went out and walked next door......
"How? Or the business familiarity of the old comrades. Lo and behold...... With our eyes closed, we know where the things we want are? Ay...... Why didn't he even close the door? Is...... Let's go, I'll take you downstairs and wait. Cheng Ran took Mu Qingyang out of the door with himself, closed the door with his hand, and looked inside the corridor...... Black holes. There was no sound at all.
"Speaking of which, the old comrades just like to miss the old, but this is something on paper. It's much more intuitive than the documents on those computers...... It's like the old uniform he wore, which is actually much more comfortable than the one we changed into later......" Cheng Ran chattered along the way, but Mu Qingyang still didn't say a word, just followed silently. Not much effort. The two of them arrived in the hall on the first floor. I was about to go to the reading room. Suddenly, the door opened, and a young police officer trainee ran in......
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry...... I had just gone to the toilet when I was notified and rushed over...... You're looking for information, isn't it? Walk! The files are all upstairs......" The young man looked apologetic, wiping his sweat as he prepared to go upstairs.
"No need! We've got the information...... But, I said you're choking! Look at it, just during the internship period, he is so stunned, and he is not on duty at his post...... Learn more from veteran comrades. Look at Lao Zhou, if you look for something, you can get it. ...... without hesitation at all."
Cheng Ran couldn't help but put up his old qualifications and counted the young man well.
"Yes! I'll be sure to pay attention in the future. But...... This place is going to be demolished recently, and several of us are taking turns to come over to inspect, didn't we just hear the news? You are more forgiving, not an example! The young man looked depressed, although he recognized his mistake, but he finally couldn't help but explain a few words under the grievance.
Cheng Ran glared at him dissatisfied: "Are you still not convinced?" If nothing else, off-duty is always a fact! β
"It's not...... There has been no post on duty here for several days, and the bureau issued documents last week, and this building will be demolished next month! We just came to greet the move or something, and the evidence, the materials, and everything were almost there. Now only those documents and files have not been moved, but the main ones have been scanned and sorted out on the computer, and these originals will be removed in two days......" the young man explained with a blushing face.
"Wait...... You say there's no one on duty here? So what's going on with Lao Zhou? Cheng Ran was stunned, and his eyes widened!
"What old Zhou? I am the only one in this jurisdiction, and I don't seem to have heard of it among the old comrades......" The young man looked puzzled.
"It's Zhou Xuemin! We just came down from the upper floor, and he hasn't come down yet......" Cheng Ran almost jumped up, he pointed to the stairs and shouted.
"Zhou ...... Week...... Zhou Xuemin? I...... My dad? But he had been dead for more than a month! How can you see him......" The corners of the young man's mouth began to tremble, his face turned pale, his eyes were full of consternation, and he didn't know what to say for a while?
"Lao Zhou is your father...... He's also in our bureau? β
"That's right! That's right...... Look at this. Xiao Zhou suddenly remembered something, hurriedly took out his wallet, and pointed to a group photo for Cheng Ran to see.
It was an old photo, and it was Zhou Xuemin who was smiling next to the young man above!
"Ahh
Cheng Ran was stunned for a moment, and suddenly a cool air on his back rushed up along the spine groove......
"Hey! How long are you going to grind? Let's go out first...... Let's talk about something. β
Mu Qingyang looked back at the gloomy staircase, smiled slightly and pushed the door open halfway, letting the sunlight shine in. Suddenly, Cheng Ran shuddered, and immediately jumped up and pulled Mu Qingyang and ran out, and Xiao Zhou also shouted behind him, turned around and jumped out of the door.
"There's no need to be too nervous, Lao Zhou doesn't have any malicious intentions...... On the other hand, it also helped us a lot! Mu Qingyang patted the shoulders of the two people with a relaxed face, and turned his head to look upstairs.
In the dark place in the window on the second floor, Lao Zhou waved his hand to Mu Qingyang, smiled and disappeared into the air......
Night.
Dinner was settled in a Lu restaurant next to the compound of the military region, and Cheng Ran suddenly looked up while eating: "Boss! Have you already seen that Lao Zhou is not human? β
"Hmm!"
Mu Qingyang stuffed a mouthful of chicken and nodded vaguely.
"Then why didn't you remind me?" With a slap on the table, Cheng Ran suddenly felt a nameless fire burn up.
"Don't get excited, look at you...... It's not easy to eat...... Mu Qingyang patted him on the shoulder, tried hard to swallow the food in his mouth, and then smiled apologetically at the surroundings, leaned in front of Cheng Ran and whispered: "Cheng Ran, you should also know the nature of our work when you come this day, right?" β
"Hmm...... It's kind of like those ghost-hunting exorcists or something. β
"Wrong...... Our work is only for the restless guys, and I don't intend to interfere too much with most of the aliens or cultivators, so I usually go with the flow...... This is also the reason why I didn't remind you that Lao Zhou is a dead soul, and there are many things that I will talk to you slowly when I go back...... Eat first! Mu Qingyang shook the wine bottle in his hand and pointed to the wine glass in front of Cheng Ran: "Come, let's go." β
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"You mean that there is a problem down there now, so not only do the undead have no way to return to the underworld and wander around, but there are also evil spirits and demons who have escaped from prison and escaped to the human world?" Cheng Ran swallowed a mouthful of saliva and asked in shock.
"That's right." There was smoke between Mu Qingyang's fingers, and it seemed that the whole person didn't seem so real......
Cheng Ran lay down on the sofa in a daze, and muttered, "It's really ...... It's like a fantasy, it's too unreal? β
"But to be honest, your performance has surprised me, I have seen the stubbornness of some atheists, it is simply laughable...... Mu Qingyang refilled a cigarette for himself and closed his eyes.
I don't know why, he suddenly misses Li Qing very much now, he hasn't heard from them for a long time, he thought he could wait to meet them in the underworld peacefully, but unfortunately an accident, he returned to the original point.
However, Gao Qiang was inexplicably surprised by his appearance, not only solved the predicament for him, but also arranged everything for him unconditionally......
No, not all unconditional......
Guoan here is also nerve-wracking for those wandering ghosts and wild ghosts, more and more ghost collision incidents are appearing, and the endless supernatural topics have been paid more attention to by the world, the era of the end of the law after the catastrophe seems to be over, all kinds of cultivators have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and representatives at all levels have pointed the finger at Guoan here, Gao Qiang naturally regarded Mu Qingyang as a very important life-saving straw!
A large-scale exorcism operation has begun, Gao Qiang has contacted the celestial and demon clans through intermediaries, and on the basis of the alliance of the Three Realms, all three parties have agreed that in the current emergency situation, it is completely possible to appropriately deepen cooperation to ensure that the problems in the world do not worsen......
