Chapter 8: The West Street Mystery

The next morning, Lu Yao came out of her house under the pretext of shopping and found West Street.

"I can't imagine that there is such a deserted place in this era." Lu Yao stood at the entrance of West Street, staring at the dilapidated plaque on West Street.

Fang Nuo had only mentioned West Street to her, but she didn't know how to find Mu Lan, she walked into the dilapidated street, strange, there were no ghosts wandering on this street, why was there a strange magnetic field?

Fang Nuo was killed near West Street, and no clues can be missed!

There seems to be a shop open in front of it, Lu Yao took a closer look, it was a shroud shop, a lot of paper money, and this place was like a bank for ghosts.

"What's the matter? Buy paper reception, ask for directions, I don't know. "There was a young man sitting in a pile of paper ingots.

"What if I buy paper and ask for directions?" Lu Yao stood in front of him.

"That's great." The young man changed his attitude and stood up with a smile.

"You...."Fang Nuo in the eyes of the young man conjured up two people, half Fang Nuo and half Lu Yao.

"Have we met?"

"I may have been here before!" Lu Yao said generously.

"Are you looking for it?"

"I'm looking for Mu Lan!"

"You've already been here last time to ask for directions, why are you here again?" The young man turned around and pulled something out of the shelf and stuffed it into his clothes.

"Then tell me what you know." Lu Yao glanced at the hand he had stuffed into his clothes.

"I said last time, I don't know." The young man wandered to the door, "Do all the little girls have such bad memories now?" ”

As he spoke, he took out a gossip mirror from his clothes and looked directly at Lu Yao's face, Lu Yao took a step back and blocked the mirror light with his hand.

"If you borrow and you have to pay back, you should have borrowed enough of this body, right?" The young man scolded.

"Humph! Have a finger in the pie. Lu Yao instantly left Fang Nuo's body and rushed straight towards the young man, who fell, and the gossip mirror fell to the side.

With a wave of her hand, all the paper money on the shelf fell on the young man, burying him in an instant.

Returning to Fang Nuo's body, he picked up the Bagua Mirror and looked left and right.

"Hey, put that mirror down for me!" The young man threw himself from the pile of paper.

"Hey, don't come here, if you come over again, I'll snap the mirror and fall to the ground!" Lu Yao raised the mirror and shook it.

"That's a treasure, you think if you break it, you break it?" The young man roared unconfidently.

"Then try it, I'm curious how precious this thing can be!" Lu Yao made a gesture to smash the gossip mirror to the ground.

"No, no, no, the hero stops." The young man hurriedly stopped, "We have no grievances, we don't have to be like this. ”

"No grievances, no hatred, why do you want to accept me?" Lu Yao shouted.

"I'm not trying to take you, I... I'll take a bronze mirror and light it for you. The young man instantly became dog-legged.

"Humph! Lu Yao threw all the gossip mirrors to him, your broken mirror can't deal with me. ”

"Why?" The young man studied it over and over again, and continued to pick up the gossip mirror and take a picture of Lu Yao.

"Shook to death." Lu Yao blocked her eyes.

"Huh? How so? "The young man was hit in an instant.

"Your gossip mirror has been around for many years, and the spells on it are almost exhausted, and to put it bluntly, it is in disrepair." Lu Yao sighed.

"This is what Master left for me to deal with geists with low mana."

"It may be useful to deal with ordinary little ghosts, but it may be more difficult to deal with old ghosts like me!" Lu Yao felt that she was extremely embarrassed at the moment.

"Old ghost? You don't look big, do you? The young man retorted.

"Who told you how old you were from the ghost's appearance?" Lu Yao said.

"Oh, yes." The young man pouted.

"Practice for a few more years and then think about taking me in!" Lu Yao waved his hand and walked out.

The young man was angry when suddenly, something flew in, and he hurriedly reached out to catch it.

When he opened the palm of his hand, he saw that a piece of 100 yuan folded into a square shape was lying in his hand.

"Burn some paper for those lonely ghosts on the side of the road, I'll treat you!" Lu Yao stood outside the door and waved.

"Cut!" The young man clenched his fists, "You wait for me!" ”

Turning a corner and walking into a community, "Why is this community so quiet?" Don't you live in people? Lu Yao was very strange.

Not only is there no one, but not even half of the ghost is missing, otherwise they can be caught and asked.

Walking to the front of a building, there was a row of warehouses in front of the building, the door of a warehouse was open, there was no one outside the door, Lu Yao walked over slowly.

But I saw an old man lying in the middle of the warehouse covered with a white cloth, wearing a shroud, his hair was gray, and his eyes were rippling with tears.

Of course, these are not talking about corpses, but ghosts standing next to corpses looking at their own bodies.

There was no one in the room, only a corpse, and the scene was inevitably a little weird.

"Old man, what are you feeling sad?" Lu Yao cautiously asked, "Doesn't everyone die?" ”

The old man raised his head aggrievedly: "I've been dead for several days, and my family doesn't send it to the funeral home, just to fight for my inheritance." ”

After saying that, he choked up again.

"I've only seen the living crying, but I've never seen the dead shed tears." Lu Yao said.

"I just died, and I have no experience." The old man began to cry again.

"Okay, you're all dead, what inheritance do you care about if it's not?"

"No, I still have a wife, I'm afraid that my few losers will divide the inheritance and not leave it to her."

"This is easy to do, who is the most important person in your family?" Lu Yao asked.

"It's my third son, his family is the richest, and the eldest son is the most uneasy."

"I'll give you something that can help you temporarily attach to your body, but not for too long."

"In the presence of the two of them, you commanded your last wishes and told them to pester them if they didn't carry them out."

Lu Yao threw a pendant to the old man, "You wear this pendant, and it will disappear after possession." ”

"Thank you, thank you, girl." The old man rubbed his nose happily.

"Oh, by the way, is there a girl named Mu Lan around here?"

"Mu Lan? Isn't that the youngest daughter of the Mu family? The old man said, "His family moved away a while ago. ”

"Moved away? Do you know where you moved? Lu Yao asked.

"I don't know." The old man said, "Speaking of this, have we seen the girl?" ”

"Have we met?" Lu Yao pointed at herself suspiciously.

"Yes, I remember you came before, I was playing chess in the pavilion and showed you the way."

"Oh, really?" Lu Yao smiled awkwardly.

"We're really fated." The old man laughed.

"When you say that, it's really fateful." The old man helped Fang Nuo, and Lu Yao helped him.

"I have something to do, so I'll go first." Lu Yao said goodbye to the old man and walked deeper into the community.

I always feel that West Street is weird even here, and the little mage at the door, why do you want to open a shop here?

There are few people here, and naturally there are fewer dead people, so what kind of business do you do? Quirky and weird. Lu Yao reconnoitred for a while and then walked back.

On the way back, I passed by the warehouse again, and watched the old man's three sons run out of the warehouse screaming, and one fell without looking at the road and eating.

Lu Yao walked to the door of the warehouse, the old man's body was half-sitting, and when he saw that it was Lu Yao, he showed a mischievous smile, and then a cloud of white smoke came out of his body, leaving a sentence: "Goodbye, girl, and ran out of the door." ”

"The old man really accumulated a lot of virtue during his lifetime, and even the soul mark is so white." Lu Yao muttered.

When she came out of the community, the shroud shop on West Street was closed, and she wanted to ask the little mage who had just started to ask about something.

"Mu Lan's family moved away? Fang Nuo said that Mu Lan was dead, and her mother was delirious, leaving only Mu Lan's sister and her. ”

"Why should orphans and widows move away? Fang Nuo said that she felt that Mu Qing had a problem, did she come to Mu Qing that day? ”

"Could Fang Nuo's murder and his own killing have something to do with that person named Mu Qing?" Lu Yao was walking down the street and muttering, he must find that Mu Qing.

Suddenly, a few bird calls interrupted her train of thought, and when she looked up, three crows flew by and landed on a tree not far away.

"Crows?" Lu Yao looked at the crows.

Suddenly, a crow flew around the tree several times and disappeared into the air in an instant.

"What's the situation?" Lu Yao couldn't help but take a few steps forward to see what was going on.

The other flew around the tree a few more times and disappeared, followed by a third.
