The sky was blazing with fire clouds, and the path in front of the door was covered with a carpet of golden sycamore leaves. Autumn is deep.

I drank tea on the rooftop and watched the sunset. During this time, I always unconsciously remembered the black shadow that disappeared in Niujia Village that day. I always felt that the death of the Laoxian Lake Shura Pomfret had something to do with that person. And maybe the shadow I saw when I was unconscious was the same person.

Kicking his feet, Pan Zi respectfully walked up to me and said, "Master, the big boss is here!" ”

Top banana? I followed him downstairs and saw Chen Youbo standing in the hall. There was also a pale young man beside him.

Chen Youbo smiled and said: "Yo, this is not our contemporary Zhong Kui, the head of Maoshan Zhong Ming." ”

I said: "Don't bury me, the head of Maoshan is right, what kind of contemporary Zhong Kui am I?" ”

Chen Youbo said: "Don't be modest. Now almost everyone knows about your heroic deeds of killing the cat demon, breaking the reincarnation of substitution**, purifying the water ghost, and removing the water monster. ”

"You all know? How so? "I'm confused. Hu Zhouzhou, who was on the side, stood up stealthily and secretly wanted to go upstairs. My eyebrows jumped, and I gritted my teeth and said, "Stop!" What did you do secretly from me? ”

Hu Zhouzhou was a thief, laughed dryly, and said, "Hehehe." Hey, hey, hey. Master, that's right. ”

"Huh?" I looked at him with an eyebrow.

Hu Zhouzhou turned on the computer and clicked on a website called 17K. A web novel called "The Head of Maoshan" came to my eye. I clicked on it and found that the book was written in my own voice. The book talks about several cases worth mentioning that we have handled together since the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Hall. Although there are exaggerations, they are also inseparable.

This guy has been figuring out my mind from beginning to end, and he has praised himself as if there is nothing in the sky and the earth, and he has trampled on the jade mirror to the point of being useless. Hu Zhouzhou said: "Although this book is not popular yet, an editor of a certain website in Modu noticed that their website was going to have a special topic on modern Taoists, so they opened a special column to introduce you, Master. Hehe, Master, you're a little celebrity in Modu now. ”

When he saw that I wasn't mad, he immediately smiled and said, "Master, this is the era of hype, and it is not okay to do it without spending some effort on publicity." The reason why my previous Tianxuantang business was so good was because I used the name of Lingbao Tianzun disciple, and then I made a few more incidents to make my reputation famous. My impostor can be popular, Master, you are the real head of the Maoshan Heavenly Dao Sect, can you not be popular? Hey. ”

I found that the young man next to Chen Youbo had been frowning and not saying a word, so he pushed Hu Zhouzhou aside, walked up to Chen Youbo and said, "Who is this?" ”

Chen Youbo patted his head and said, "Look at me, I almost forgot." This is my company's customer, Cheng Xiao, chairman of the online game company. ”

Chairman? I don't think this young man is twenty-three or four at most. Chen Youbo said that it was terrible to become a Dong. He started his own online game company when he was in high school, and the company went public around his sophomore year.

Cheng Xiao greeted me with a reluctant smile and said, "It's a pity that my company will close down as soon as I graduate." He added unwillingly, "The most hateful thing is that I was not eliminated by the market, nor was I defeated by competitors, but was lowered!" ”

"Got your head down?" I was taken aback, "This thing is not something that ordinary people can do. How did you provoke such a powerful person? ”

Cheng Xiao said: "I don't know." I've never crossed paths with monastics. I can't even think of anyone dealing with me. ”

Cheng Xiao said that when he returned to the company two months ago, he found a black and shiny crow feather on his desk. Of course he thought it was strange, but he didn't pay much attention to it. Just think of it as a prank by a boring person.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, another crow feather appeared on his desk, and this time there was an antique letterhead attached to the feather, which accurately stated that the company would shrink by 11.2% within a month. Cheng Xiao scolded, bored, and threw the feathers and letterhead into the trash.

The horror is that a month later, his company's stake has really shrunk. And the evaporated funds are no more, no less, exactly 11.2 percent of the day the second feather was received!

Only then did Cheng Xiao know that he was afraid. But he didn't think about the curse at all. He felt that someone must have taken a fancy to his company, deliberately pretending to be a fool and doing these things, and when the time was ripe for his psychological breakdown, he could take his company at a low price.

He first suspected that there was a ghost in the company, otherwise who would have put crow feathers and letterheads on his desk without knowing it? It's a pity that he has always paid attention to privacy, and he has not installed surveillance near his office, so he can't see who put the feathers before.

But it also has the advantage that he secretly put a camera in the office, and the inner ghost doesn't know this, but may succeed in filming him.

Soon, another crow feather landed on Cheng Xiao's desk. This time, only one string of numbers was written on the letterhead, "27.43%". He naturally understood what the other party meant that his company would evaporate 27.43 percent of its output value within a month. He immediately called up the surveillance video, thinking that he could find out the ghost inside, and then find out who was behind the scenes through him.

Unexpectedly, after watching the video, he was almost scared to death.

At half past two in the morning, the office door "creaked" open. There was no one outside the door. But there is clearly a clear and steady footstep sound in the video. Black feathers and white letterhead floated in slowly from outside the door and landed gently on the table.

The waning moon shines through the window, casting a cold and eerie glow on the fluffy crow feathers.

He took the video to the police, only to learn that he was not the first person to receive a crow's feather. At present, the police have received reports and filed cases for investigation, in addition to Cheng Xiao's case, there are three similar cases. They occurred in Hangzhou, Qingdao and Xi'an. The time of occurrence is several years apart.

Police suspect the same person was responsible. But the investigation found that the victims did not know each other and had little in common. And they are not the same threats. Cheng Xiao is property was damaged, and some of the previous cases had health problems and some were unlucky. Anyway, the police are at a loss, and these cases have been hanging.

Cheng Xiao tried his best to finally find the contact information of several other victims.

He asked them all out. The victim in Hangzhou is called Huang Ge, the little brother in Qingdao calls himself clam (pronounced gálà) Zhou, and in Xi'an is Lao Teng.
