Chapter 3: The Ghost Hunting Company

Subconsciously, Ruan Zhan leaned down.

There was not a trace of the residual smell of decay in the coffin, as if it had been empty all along. He stretched out his hand and groped slowly, but there was nothing intangible. It's just that when his hand touched the top of the coffin, his hand suddenly hurt, as if it had been bitten by something.

As soon as I raised my hand, blood flowed down my fingers!

No, there is something!

Ruan Zhan reached out and touched it again, this time because he had the intention of searching, so he used some force, which made Ruan Zhan feel a strong stinging pain, only to see that a big wound was cut in his palm. But he endured it and watched as his blood flowed in a certain direction to the lining of the coffin, which seemed to be empty, and slowly formed a curved arc, like- like a blade!

Cautiously, he judged the direction of the hilt, then reached out his hand, and as his blood fell on the lining of the coffin, his palm grasped the invisible but solid object - a flat shape that fits his hand, hard and slippery, cold and magnetic, and with a little force, he immediately picked up an invisible knife!

There was a loud 'boom', thunder sounded in the sky again, and then, the raindrops the size of beans fell fiercely!

Ruan Zhan stood in the dirt pit, holding the invisible knife, watching the raindrops fall on the knife, as if holding a handful of water droplets out of thin air!

The knife is not invisible, but made of transparent crystal, half a foot long, sharp and aura, strange and beautiful, because the crystal is so pure that it is rare in the world, so the naked eye can not see the shape of the knife at all. And it was precisely because Ruan Zhan's blood flowed into the blood trough that he realized the existence of the knife.

In an instant, he understood that this knife was what the faceless man gave to his father in the red hallucination. But where is his father? Was it a stolen body after death, or was it really not dead? What is his purpose? Did he leave the knife for himself, or was he lost it unintentionally? Why didn't he ever find this strange knife on his father's body back then?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Ruan Zhan stood there as if he didn't feel it at all. In the middle of the night, he dipped his index finger in a little blood from the wound on the palm of his hand, and gently drew a charm on the knife.

The rain diluted the blood, and only a few faint pink marks appeared on the knife, but that was enough, because with this charm, the knife was invisible to others, but in his eyes it would appear at any time.

This manifestation talisman was also taught to him by his father, which made him suddenly feel that his father had already foreseen all this, so he had made a lot of preparations for him in advance!

He walked back to the front of the coffin and continued to fumble, thinking that there could be no knife without a scabbard. Sure enough, in a moment he found another hard object in the crack. He also drew a manifest on it and then combined the two.

Since this knife was left to him, it must be useful, and he must keep it well, just like the other three magic weapons left to him by his father.

Enduring the piercing pain in the palm of his hand, Ruan Zhan reburied the empty tomb and went down the mountain in the rain. Then the next day, during the day, I ran to the mountains, searching inch by inch to see if I could find any clues.

He stayed like this for half a month, so the people in the town began to talk about him behind his back again. Originally, his father's death was a mystery in the eyes of the villagers, although the police announced that the old man died a normal death, and Ruan Zhan did not have the time and motive to commit the crime, but the superstitious people just thought Ruan Zhan was very suspicious.

They said, "Such a good man, since he adopted this son, who seemed to crawl out of the grave, began to be wrong; said that Ruan Zhan's kid was probably his adoptive father who was killed by demon methods, you look at him, his face is gloomy and terrifying, it must not be a good thing; And besides, this freak has been running to the cemetery in the back mountain lately, and I don't know what bad things to do, don't spread calamity.

Ruan Zhan was used to these point-pointing and malicious speculations. Humans are always suspicious, repulsive, fearful, slanderous, and hurtful to people who are different from the group, although sometimes those anomalies are mild and harmless.

It's just that since he was suspected of killing his own father, he learned to disguise. By the time his father went back to school after his father's funeral, he had slowly changed. Although he is still cold, he is no longer as ready to attack others as if he was covered in thorns; Although he still does not interact with people, he no longer looks at others with terrifying eyes, and has changed from being wary of the crowd to being alienated and indifferent.

Then, he went to college, and after graduation, he went out into society, wandering from city to city, and finally settled in the 'Night Homecoming' bar, where he hoped to inhabit and hide from anyone before he died. At this time, he disguised himself more deeply, adding a gentle and elegant coat to his indifferent and detached appearance.

Then, Wanli appeared in his life again and brought him the greatest gift in his life - Xiao Xia. He had been wary of all kinds of beautiful women who were very dangerous to men, and he didn't take this little yellow-haired girl in his eyes at all, but it was she who easily tore apart his gentle disguise, melted the ice in his heart, broke directly into his fiery heart, and refused to come out again!

What to do?

Ruan Zhan shook his head helplessly, first fading Xiao Xia's shadow from his mind, and then focusing his mind on the things in front of him.

He had been searching the land around his father's grave for half a month, dragging his body that had not yet recovered, and applying the Heavenly Eye Pass and the Heavenly Nose Tong on his body, so that he could be particularly sensitive to the blood, all kinds of strange smells, and the marks on the soil from a month ago.

However, he found nothing, and his father seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, leaving no clue, not even a small bush that he had stepped on. This made him feel more and more that there must have been no violence here, and that his father had either left on his own, or that the grave diggers could carry objects in the air.

If his father was not dead at all, then why was he able to be sure that his father had left, and why were there still corpse spots on the corpse? He has been buried in the soil for more than ten years, what kind of turtle breath method is so powerful?

If someone is digging a grave and moving a corpse, then why would that person do it? And he was sure that that person was a person with a very good Taoism. Moving in the air, there is no trace left, this is not something that ordinary people can do.

In order to solve the mystery, he had to make some arrangements.

He was sure that there was nothing to investigate about his hometown, and now he was going back to the city to search for all the people and things related to Taoism, such as where strange events happened? Is there anyone who can help with this? Are there any special missing persons, and what are the unexpected dead bodies? In short, he sealed his ability before, and was unwilling to contact all supernatural events, although because of Xiao Xia, he had already intervened, but this time, he had to take the initiative and intervene comprehensively, so that it was possible to find clues in the vast sea of people.

It's stupid, a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, but there's no way around it. I believe that there are not many people in this world who can really solve supernatural events, so he has a chance to find the secret of his father's death, and he also has a chance to find the person who didn't see his face!

It's just that if he goes back, he will see Xiao Xia, how will he face her?

And just when he was hesitant and didn't know what to do, his bar, thousands of miles away, had reopened, and business was even more prosperous than it had been when he was there.

"Boss Ruan Zhan Ruan is my cousin." Bao Datong had a lively and pleasing smile on his face, and handed out business cards to a large group of female customers, "This is my newly opened company, and you beauties have time to come and cheer." ”

"yes, there's a company like this, it's new." A hot girl in a waistless and legless dress laughed coquettishly.

Bao Datong looked at the girl, pointed his chin with his index finger, and put on a very unnecessary but very stylish posture, "Life is a game of chess, of course you don't need this kind of service when you go smoothly, but what if there is a catastrophe?" You don't have to work hard to sweat, just leave it to me to solve it, what I do is the work of heroes to save beauty. ”

"Are you okay?" The hot girl squinted at Bao Datong.

"If it works, you'll have to try it to find out." Bao Datong squeezed his eyes ambiguously, "I am a family student, I dare to say that in this industry, no one can have my ability." ”

"It's not cheap." The hottie continued to ask.

"Don't mention money, it hurts feelings." Bao Datong grinned generously at the group of female guests surrounding him, revealing the very lethal, very positive, and very cute little tiger teeth, making his smile more brilliant by the dark skin and snow-white teeth, "Just give me some cost and carriage expenses." ”

Before the words fell, the other female guests were chattering and asking questions, and Bao Datong was good-natured to answer them one by one, but Wan Li, who was sitting in the corner, was angry.

"Shameless guy, he actually pretended to be Ah Zhan's cousin!" He said as he picked up a business card that had been left on the table.

The business card is black, with beautiful silver lace inlaid on the four sides, and it reads: Night Returner Zhouyi Culture Company, General Manager Bao Datong, and below is the address and phone number of the bar. On the reverse side of the business card is written the main business, densely written a lot, what fortune telling, word measurement, batch eight characters, look at the yin and yang house feng shui, exorcise evil and avoid evil, suppress the shock and collect the soul-

"He even had to choose such a lascivious color when he chose a business card."

Xiao Xia patted Wanli's hand, "Forget it, forget it, why can't you get along with him." But it's true, he's so convenient, even the name of the company returns at night. ”

"What company, just him, the office location, and phone address are all used here, obviously a professional god!"

Xiao Xia glanced at Wanli and didn't understand why Wanli, who was so easy-going and cute, couldn't get along with Bao Datong. In her opinion, if the two of them didn't have any previous holidays, they would definitely be committing a crime!

"It's two people now." Xiao Xia watched Bao Datong and the group of female guests chatting happily, leaning on Wanli's shoulder.

She seemed to be very sick this time, and she felt like she was losing her strength, and she would get tired after sitting for a while.

"What, you promised him?" Wanli almost stood up, but felt that Xiao Xia was still relying on herself, and hurriedly sat down again, "You girl is really messing around, what are you crazy about with him." ”

"Not really. After all, Bao Datong is also a bit of a real material, I used to always pull you and Ruan Zhan back when I encountered trouble, and Ruan Zhan refused to teach me, so I want to learn two tricks from him! Besides, it's not bad to make a little more. Bao Datong said that as long as I go on a mission with him, I don't have to worry about anything, and he will share the account with me. Hehe, it's a big deal. ”

"Do you really believe he can make money?"

"Very convinced." Xiao Xia stood up and said very seriously, "There are many strange things about the crisis of faith in modern human beings, and you see that he is very good at public relations." ”

Wanli let out a breath from his nostrils and didn't speak.

Although he doesn't like Bao Datong, he has to admit that Bao Datong is very good at dealing with people. In the past, most of those women came for Ruan Zhan, and a small number of women were for Liu Tie and Ni Yang, and these three men were relatively 'serious', especially Ruan Zhan, who had the same attitude towards everyone, if he was about to leave, although this made him more attractive, but it was indeed not conducive to the expansion of business.

A considerable number of women who have been in bars for many years are here to fish for men, but there are also quite a few who come to have fun. It's not interesting if you can't drink, have fun, and laugh heartily.

Although Bao Datong does not provide special services, he can speak well and is attentive and lovely, and his mouth is like smearing honey when he speaks, and he has attracted a large number of customers since the day he reopened.

What will Ruan Zhan say when he comes back and sees all this? I guess I'll be as helpless as myself!

Wanli thought weakly.

He didn't want to entertain Bao Datong, but Ruan Zhan wanted to deal with the aftermath of Hongqing Town, and he had to go back to his hometown to confirm some of Sima Nan's words, so he had to deal with this abrasive guy.

He didn't like this hippie smiling Bao Datong before, but now he finds that he is quite relieving. Xiao Xia's Lai Pi is nothing compared to him, because his skin is much thicker than Xiao Xia!

As soon as he heard that Bao Datong was going to live here for a long time, he unceremoniously refused, but he didn't expect that Bao Datong immediately brought out the agreement between Uncle Bao and Ruan Zhan's father.

I'll help your son once, you help my son once!

Because of this promise, Uncle Bao saved Ruan Zhan's life many years ago, and now Bao Datong's condition is that he will open a ghost hunting company in the city, and when his career is successful, this promise will be completed.

Career success! How nice to say! However, this is a requirement that cannot be confirmed by specifications, and to what extent is it considered a 'successful career'? If he has no success in his career in his life, will Ruan Zhan be stuck to Bao Datong for the rest of his life? Thinking about Uncle Bao, he really didn't suffer a loss, he spent a day saving the son of a friend in danger, and then sent his son to someone's house, I don't know what year and month he left!

My dad not only fulfilled his promise, but also saved you!

This is what Bao Datong threw to Wanli, so angry that Wanli almost hit the wall on the spot! It's really a pot that doesn't open and which pot to mention, this matter was actually calculated by Bao Datong, I knew it was like this, it was better to die at the beginning!

In this case, he couldn't stop Bao Datong from moving into Ruan Zhan's territory to live, and he really set up such a ghost-hunting company in a hurry, although it was called Zhouyi Culture Company on the surface!

"I'll tell you, I've asked that hottie to go swimming for the weekend." Bao Datong walked over with a smile and sent the group of women to Liu Tie and Ni Yang to deal with them.

"Didn't you say you were a cultivator?" Wan Li said sarcastically, "You yourself said that you just went out of the mountains and entered the world, but you are still a Taoist disciple." You are so wanton to pick up girls, you are not afraid of violating the door rules! ”

"You don't know that." Bao Datong sat next to Xiao Xia, "I am a dragon and tiger double cultivator, and I am not jealous of women." Speaking of which, my faction is really humane. ”

He said it so carefully that Xiao Xia couldn't help but laugh.
