"It's not a good strategy to provoke me, and you're going to pay for it." Bai Xinruo quickly discovered Ren Qiuling's intentions, she calmed down and threatened, "Out of respect for you, I will purify your soul with flames. ”

She raised her hands as if she was in control of something. "Peng!" The flowers planted in a flower stand behind her suddenly burst into flames on their own, and Ren Qiuling nervously found herself distorting the cover of an old book at her feet, turning black by itself, then emitting green smoke, and then burning into a small piece of ash.

There was a pungent smell in the air, like the smell of desert in the middle of summer.

Ren Qiuling felt that her skin was hot and hot, and the sweat on her forehead flowed into her eyes, making her blink and cry. "Is this the Mind Arson?" Ren Qiuling had never had such an experience before, and her heart was intertwined with fear and curiosity.

"That's right," Bai Xinruo became excited when she saw Ren Qiuling crying, "try to beg me, try to impress me, and see if I will spare you - I am the most cold-blooded judge in the world, and I only make judgments for my own justice." Come, come, cry, kneel! Hahaha! ”

Ren Qiuling had a cold face and stared at Bai Xinruo sternly, "Don't think that you have ever been hurt, people all over the world should spoil you and coax you." I don't! Die! She screamed, and suddenly pounced on Bai Xinruo and pushed hard.

Caught off guard, Bai Xinruo was pushed to the ground with her buttocks on the ground, her hair falling apart, revealing the left half of her face that she was trying to hide—a badly burned face, full of polyps, and her eyelids were pushed by polyps until only a small hole remained.

Half of the face as beautiful as a fairy, and half of the face as ugly as the devil were so strongly pieced together on her head.

Ren Qiuling only glanced at it, and immediately felt that her scalp was numb, screamed, turned around and ran.

"Boom!" The wooden door she was running through suddenly ignited on its own, and the flames erupted more than a meter away. Ren Qiuling had only one thought, which was to run out of the back street and into the crowd.

"Peng!" The banyan tree in front of her also ignited on its own, and a branch with thick branches and leaves could not bear its own weight when it was burned by the fire, and fell towards Ren Qiuling with a raging flame.

Ren Qiuling hugged her head and ran regardless of it. The branch was blown by the wind and landed right behind her.

The whole street was burning, and Ren Qiuling had no other idea than to run desperately like a frightened bird.

Someone shouted in the distance: "It's a fire, everyone, come and put out the fire!" Then there was the sound of a knock on the basin.

Ren Qiuling burst into tears all of a sudden, she knew that she was saved. Because Bai Xinruo had half of his burned face, the killing was carried out in a hidden place, and he had never killed anyone in the crowd.

A group of men with buckets, basins, and ladders ran into the back street, shouting and shouting to save the fire. More people are also flocking to this side, and of course most of them are still watching the excitement and making up their minds.

Ren Qiuling's heart was so warm, she sat in front of a few women watching the excitement and cried silently for a while, and when she looked back, the fire was not under control, and it had already burned half of the sky.

Ren Qiuling silently left the back street. Now she didn't dare to go back to the house she had just rented, for fear that Bai Xinruo would stand in front of her bed when she woke up in the middle of the night. After thinking about it, she could only go back to the restaurant, where there was a security guard after all, and the security captain was Wen Xiaoyu.

Bai Xinruo's victims were men, women, and children, but they were all killed when they were alone. Ren Qiuling wanted not to be killed, so she could only avoid being alone.

When taking the bus back to the hotel building, Ren Qiuling combed her friends, Yun Zhongyue is a good candidate, and he is always there, but he may be tired of listening to the "fairy sister" for a night; Everyone else has their own things to do, some have to take care of the children, some are busy with work and have no time to spend with her. But there is someone who should have time to accompany him, that is a classmate in elementary school, known as Sister Zhao, her marriage has problems, and she is looking for someone to spit out her bitterness.

Seriously, Ren Qiuling's friends were a little scared, secretly calling Sister Zhao "Xianglin Sister-in-law", and didn't take her to the party, and didn't invite her to the birthday party, because now she would only say bad things about her husband.

To be honest, listening to others spit out bitterness is a terrible thing, but compared to facing Bai Xinruo's pursuit, this matter is simply pediatric.

However, Ren Qiuling still thinks highly of her psychological quality. That night in the restaurant, she heard Sister Zhao say for the hundredth and first time: "Do you know how ruthless my husband is? I ...... for him" "Enough!" Ren Qiuling was originally drowsy, but suddenly the small universe exploded. She stood up from behind her desk, spinning anxiously around like a trapped wolf.

Sister Zhao raised her red and swollen eyes from crying, and asked carefully, "What's wrong?" ”

Ren Qiuling's heart softened, in fact, Sister Zhao is very worthy of sympathy, but no matter how great the grief is repeated hundreds of times, the impression is only numbness and boredom.

"I received a lot of gifts today, let's open them together!" Ren Qiuling said, "I remember that you used to like to open gifts the most." ”

"Really?" Sister Zhao smiled and said, "I forgot what I used to be like." ”

Ren Qiuling's heart twitched suddenly, remembering that Sister Zhao was in high spirits back then, pointing to the high-rise building on Haifeng Road and saying: "As long as we learn English well, we will have the opportunity to go abroad in the future." When the time comes, I won't be able to look at such a house! ”

It's a pity that fate plays tricks, she is now an ordinary woman buying vegetables, arguing with people in the market for three or two dimes.

"Let's go!" Ren Qiuling said with a sigh.

Even the most luxurious restaurant is still eerie in the middle of the night. Some guests turned up the volume of the TV very loudly, wanting to use such a noisy sound to dispel the loneliness in their hearts; Farther in the city, the screams of a fire truck could be heard, and the sound seemed to cut through the night sky.

"Or?" Sister Zhao said mysteriously: "Call your security guard?" I don't think your relationship is shallow! "She's been in the market for too long, and she only makes this kind of unnutritious joke.

Ren Qiuling didn't know what to say, if she ignored Sister Zhao, she would be sad and feel that she was disliked; If you ignore her, she will continue to talk about such a boring topic again.

Fortunately, there was not much distance in the storage room where the gifts were collected, and Ren Qiuling said directly: "It's here!" You help me open the gift, and when I meet someone I like, I'll give you both. ”

Sister Zhao nodded and said, "Oh, your friends are all rich people, and the gifts must be worth a lot of money." Thank you in advance! ”

Looking at the groveling Sister Zhao, Ren Qiuling was speechless for a while.

At this moment, there was a sudden "click" of wooden planks popping in the storage room. Some woodwork will crack on its own when it dries, so a pot of water will be placed next to the well-preserved wooden antiques.

But such a voice sounded particularly frightening in the middle of the night, and Ren Qiuling and Sister Zhao suddenly became nervous. Neither of them moved, listening intently to the sound of the door.

"Gegegege", the sound coming from the door seemed to be someone scraping a wooden board with sharp nails, and the sound rang for about ten seconds, and then quieted down.

Sister Zhao looked at Ren Qiuling with a frightened, inquiring gaze.

Ren Qiuling raised her finger and shook it, signaling silence.

The two of them put their ears to the door, but it was very quiet in the storage room. After about three minutes, Sister Zhao relaxed and asked softly, "Is there a thief?" ”

There was a muffled "thump", as if someone was banging his head against the door. The two of them took a few steps back in fright, staring nervously at the door.

There was a rhythmic crash of "knock, knock, knock" from inside the door.

Ren Qiuling motioned for Sister Zhao to step back, and then reached out and tightened the doorknob with a trembling hand.

The sound of "knock, knock, knock" is still ringing.

Ren Qiuling pulled the doorknob tightly, closed her eyes and took a deep breath, opened her eyes suddenly, turned the doorknob and pushed hard, and the door opened.

The storage room was pitch black, nothing could be seen, and the crashing sound stopped abruptly.

Ren Qiuling had the courage to reach out and grope for several times on the wall skin inside the door, and finally felt the light switch. With a "click", the room lit up, then darkened again, the lights flickered incessantly, and it was completely impossible to see the situation in the storage room.

Ren Qiuling exhaled briefly, knowing that this restaurant looked trendy and modern, but it may have been established no later than when she was born, and some things on the surface had been changed, but there were still backward shadows in some hidden places. For example, the lights in the storage room are mercury fluorescent tubes that have been discontinued, and this kind of lamp flashes like a convulsion when the lights are turned on, and it will be good to relax after a while.

Sure enough, with the sound of an electric current, the fluorescent light turned on.

The big boxes and small boxes of gifts were piled up in half of the room, and Sister Zhao forgot to be afraid, and directly came to say, "Wow!" ”

Ren Qiuling ignored Sister Zhao, she walked directly to the wooden box that was tall enough to be human, and observed. The first time she saw the box, she thought something was wrong.

As mentioned earlier, the box was nailed to death with thin iron strips wrapped around on all sides. The boards are branded with cursive Chinese characters, like Taoist characters. Now, the planks on the front of the crate had cracked, a crack from the top to the bottom. The nails nailed to the tin sheet also protruded a little outward, as if something was pushing from the inside out.

Under Ren Qiuling's careful observation, she found that she recognized some Chinese characters, including "hail", "nightmare", "敕", "five ghosts" and other words that she knew. She was almost certain that the characters on the wooden board might be a type of Taoist symbol, but she had never seen a similar symbol, and there were more than 200 characters.

"The contents of this must be very valuable, right?" Sister Zhao asked with a smirk. Ren Qiuling promised her that she could give herself one or two gifts, and when she looked at the packaging of the wooden box, she guessed that the box contained antiques. She wasn't greedy, she just wanted this antique to be so big, it must be worth a lot - she really liked something valuable, and she was going to want this one.

"Get out!" Ren Qiuling suddenly forgot that she was no longer a detective, and said in an ordered tone. Then she examined the dust under the wooden box, and was shocked to see that in the storage room, the wooden box had been displaced by about twenty centimeters.

"Wooden crate with living creatures?" Ren Qiuling thought for the first time, "Maybe it's a stunned person who is tied up in a box." As soon as the effect of the medicine passed, he tried to struggle to survive, so he caused the displacement of the wooden box! But then she rejects this inference: "Judging by the rust on the nail cap of the wooden box, it has been nailed down for at least a few years." ”

was reasoning, and suddenly Sister Zhao's sobbing voice came from behind him: "Woo, woo......"

Ren Qiuling looked back at Sister Zhao, who was sad there, "What's wrong?" Ren Qiuling didn't remember that she had yelled at Sister Zhao at all, and asked strangely.

Sister Zhao said weakly: "Am I really disgusted?" My husband doesn't want me anymore, and my friends are avoiding me. Sometimes, old friends see me from afar, and they deliberately pretend not to see me, and they have to bypass me in a big circle. You say, what am I wrong about, and I can't change it? ”

Ren Qiuling sighed in her heart, and took off the cap on her head, her head was injured in the previous case, and now her hair has not grown well, and the scar is still shocking. "You have lived until now, and the biggest thing you have encountered is that men don't love you anymore. Do you know what happened to me? Look at the top of my head, this time I almost got a scoop opened. Your little thing doesn't matter to me at all, my life is much more dangerous. I let you out because I didn't want to put you in danger, you know? ”

Sister Zhao was also startled when she saw the scar on Ren Qiuling's head, but at the moment, she had to muster up the courage to say, "What about the gift you promised me?" ”

Ren Qiuling said angrily: "You take a few boxes and go home to see." Don't affect me! ”

Sister Zhao was still pretending to be embarrassed, Ren Qiuling directly picked up a few boxes and stuffed them into her arms, "Let's go!" ”

Sister Zhao walked away a few steps, saw that Ren Qiuling was studying the big wooden box again, and quietly tried it with her toes, there was a box that was not big, but it was quite heavy. She quietly put down a light gift box, replaced it with the heavy gift box, checked it, and then left the storage room satisfied.
