Chapter 380: Water Ghouls
Yijie said suspiciously: "Why do I feel like you're lying to me?" I'm telling you, I went to school! β
Li Qiufan said: "You just say what can I lie to you, what else do you have?" β
Yijie was stunned for a moment when asked, and after a careful taste, he really didn't want anything.
β... Okay, I'll join, but when you don't pay for it, you can't deduct me, I'm still very legally conscious! β
Li Qiufan patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Don't worry, whoever wants to use the money we earn can take it ourselves, and no one will say anything." β
"Well, then I'll stay for the time being, but if I'm leaving, you can't force me!"
"It's nature!"
Under the persuasion of Li Qiufan, the monk finally agreed to join the firm, and it can be seen through the battle with the Demon Buddha that his strength has been proven, and his joining has undoubtedly raised the overall combat effectiveness of the firm to a new level.
The excellent performance of the Nine Shadow Qilin twice, but also won freedom for himself, Li Qiufan released it, the Nine Shadow Qilin was grateful, the once famous and famous beast shelf also disappeared without a trace, obediently lying at the door of the office, playing the role of a caretaker.
Every day, there are still eight ghost soldiers from all directions to come to Dolgon, Dongcheng Development Zone has now become a serious ghost town, if the real estate developer knows that there are so many ghosts entrenched here, it is estimated that they will jump off the building directly.
After a few days of peaceful life, everyone's injuries have been healed, and now the soldiers are strong and strong, and it is a good time to take over the work.
Thinking about anything, that afternoon, the fat man who was practicing hard suddenly ran out of the room with his mobile phone, shouting "There is a life".
Everyone gathered over, and the fat man handed the mobile phone to Li Qiufan and said, "Big job!" Pick it up or not? β
Li Qiufan glanced at his mobile phone and said bluntly: "Pick up!" β
"Okay, then I'll call the other party back!" The fat man seemed to have expected that Li Qiufan was going to take this order, dialed the phone, and said that he would arrive soon.
This time, the destination was in J City, which is adjacent to the capital, and because of an extra ring, the stunned car was obviously unable to pull, so Li Qiufan gritted his teeth and went to buy a commercial car.
Sitting in the comfortable new car, Li Qiufan sighed with emotion: "It's still a new car, I just bought it, I don't smell anything, and it's comfortable." β
The fat man corrected: "It's not the car that's good, it's the money that's good!" β
"It makes sense, so we should make more money next."
A few hours later, it was getting dark, and everyone arrived at their destination before it was completely dark.
Looking at the luxurious mansion in front of him, Li Qiufan said with a smile: "Rich man..."
The boss has money, which means that as long as they succeed in helping him destroy the evil this time, the money will definitely not be less, after all, rich people are afraid of death, and breaking wealth and eliminating disasters has always been their best thing.
Knocking on the door, a middle-aged woman who looks like a nanny opens the door and asks them what they do.
Li Qiufan identified himself, and the nanny politely invited a few people into the door, and then called the master to come down.
The owner is a short and fat man with a big belly, with a good face, and he is a rich and noble person at first glance, but at this time his face is covered with a faint layer of gray, and his face is slightly tired, and it seems that he should have not slept well for several days.
"Autumn Soul Office?"
Li Qiufan said: "That's right, I don't know what the boss is called, and what supernatural events have you encountered?" β
"Please sit down very quickly, Sister Hua, pour tea for the guests!"
A few people sat down, and the owner of the villa introduced himself: "My name is Cui Renjie, just call me Cui Fatzi, as for the supernatural event, this has to start a few days ago." β
Cui Fatzi gave everyone a cigarette, and when he saw Yijie smoking it skillfully, he was slightly stunned, no
I didn't say anything, and began to tell what happened: "We have to perform the social fire here every year on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, for which a social fire club has been set up, the president rotates every year, responsible for collecting social fire fees, organizing, arranging programs, etc., in previous years, my old man was the president, this year he was not in good health, recuperating in the nursing home, so I took on the role of this year's social fire president, bothered to work hard for a few months, and it was considered to live up to the expectations of the villagers, the social fire was very successful, but on the evening after the social fire ended, Strange things happened..."
"As the saying goes, 'The fire of society entertains the gods, Incense entertains people', we hold the tradition of the fire, back to the past, in addition to praying for the coming year's wind and rain, the country and the people, there is also a purpose,--- to worship the river god, the day to invite the statue of the river god from the temple, for the high platform, eight people to carry the pavilion, in the village road parade a circle, in previous years are very normal, but this year is different, eight young men in the prime of life, casually lift seven or eight hundred pounds of things is not a problem, the river god statue is only four hundred pounds, it stands to reason that the weight of fifty pounds on everyone's shoulders, at first it was okay, but when the fire has ended, the river god returned to the temple, a scary scene happenedγ β
"As soon as I arrived in front of the temple, an evil wind blew on the flat ground, blowing so that the young men who carried the statue could not open their eyes, and when the wind passed, the statue suddenly became extremely heavy, and the eight young men were directly pressed to their knees, accompanied by a few screams, the eight young men who carried the statue were pressed down on the spot, and there was no movement."
The blood on Fat Cui's face gradually disappeared, and his lips trembled slightly, probably recalling the original picture, and he trembled with fright.
"At that time, only me and a few elders in the village were left to send the gods back to the temple, and the big guys were frightened and hurriedly shouted people, but no matter how many people there were, the statue of the god couldn't be lifted, even if a crane was called, it couldn't be lifted! Mr. Yin and Yang, who knew a little bit of Taoism in the village, immediately felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly burned incense and kowtowed, hoping that the river god would make it clear that everyone had collided with Shenwei, so that they could remedy it immediately. β
"It's scary to say, the kneeling Mr. Yin and Yang's body suddenly stiffened, the whole person seemed to be controlled by an invisible force, his body was twisted into a weird shape, and his body continued to seep out inexplicably, and his mouth was more like a faucet, wow wow squirted out, a few minutes later, Mr. Yin and Yang stopped moving, and when we gathered around, we found that he had long since lost his breath, and his skin was chapped, as if all the water in his body had evaporated..."
Cui Fatzi lit a cigarette and took two puffs, his face turned red and tears choked out.
After everyone listened, there was silence for a while, this custom is similar in Li Qiufan's hometown, called 'carrying the master', the 'master' refers to the local worship of the gods, sometimes the 'master' is unhappy, it is true that many people can't lift it, but this has never happened.
When no one spoke, the fat man said, "Did you call the police?" β
Cui Fatzi sighed: "I reported it, why didn't I report it, there was a large wave of police at that time, and they were also shocked by that scene, the statue that could not be lifted, the strange death of Mr. Yin and Yang, are beyond the scope of science can explain, after they blocked the scene, they sent a few policemen every day to guard, saying that they were going to invite experts, I have seen experts, they are not experts in the traditional sense at all, where will experts carry copper coins, swords and compasses?" That's clearly a few mages! Late the night before yesterday, there was a fierce fighting sound in the area of the river temple, but we were all blocked by the police, not allowed to approach, the fighting continued for an hour or two before stopping, and then I saw the ambulance coming, and the experts were carried up without knowing whether they were alive or dead, and the next day, the cordon around the river temple was expanded again, and the number of police officers increased a lot, and everyone was armed with guns, looking like they were facing a great enemy. β
When Li Qiufan heard this, he roughly guessed that those 'experts' should be supernatural consultants, so he asked, "Since the police intervened, why did you still call us over?" β
"To live!"
Cui Fatzi's answer made Li Qiufan a little confused.
"How?"
Cui Fatzi said: "Since the day of the fight, every family in our village can hear someone knocking on the door in the middle of the night at night, but after opening the door, you can't see anything, there is only a string of wet footprints at the door, and the livestock and poultry raised at home don't know what to eat one after another, and recently some people have said that water has begun to seep into the crack of the door, and the knocking sound has become a slamming door, and the sound outside the door is still their deceased relatives, we reported this matter, but the police didn't have any way, just said let's not go out at night, No matter who knocks on the door, it can't be opened, and it won't be over, I have no choice but to find another way, I heard that your office is very powerful, and has dealt with many supernatural events, so I invite you to come. β
Li Qiufan nodded and said, "You also heard a knock on the door?" β
Cui Fatzi said: "It's not good, the two black-backed wolf dogs I raised, were directly disemboweled, and the internal organs and blood were all eaten clean, and in the second half of the night, I heard my grandmother, who had been dead for seven years, call me by my nickname outside the door, I took a look at the cat's eye, almost didn't scare the pee, and a black hole hole eye is sticking straight outside the cat's eye!" β
I was so frightened that I couldn't even crawl around, and I couldn't care about anything, so I moved the God of Wealth at home to the door, and the knocking on the door stopped, and our family was so frightened that we didn't dare to sleep all night.
Li Qiufan walked to the statue of the God of Wealth, and found that the statue of the God of Wealth had cracks one after another, and the divine power accumulated by years of worship had been completely dissipated.
"What's going on?" The fat man leaned over and asked.
Two golden lotuses also appeared in the pupils of the monk of the first ring, which is the wisdom of Buddhism that is comparable to the heavenly eye of the Daomen, and can also see the evil qi, and after disappearing, he glanced at Li Qiufan, and the two said in unison: "Water demon!" β
"Demon?" The fat man was stunned for a moment and said, "Isn't it a river god?" Why did you become a demon again? β
Li Qiufan said: "There is only one explanation, the river god they worship is not a real god at all, but a water demon who is not weak!" In this matter, the stone still has a lot of say. β
The stone figure flashed, detached from Li Qiufan's neck, turned into a human form, scratched his head and said, "Boss, don't tease me..."
The appearance of the stone directly frightened Cui Fatzi, and he said: "Boss Cui, don't be afraid, he is our own person." β
"Okay, good..."Cui Fat wiped a cold sweat, but he had a little more confidence in his heart, indicating that these people he invited had real skills and were not liars.
Li Qiufan laughed, patted Shi Shi on the shoulder, and asked him what he thought, after all, they are the same kind, and they should be able to find some other clues.
Hearing this, Shi leaned at the door and sniffed for a while, then raised his head and said, "Boss, you are not mistaken, it is indeed a water demon, if nothing else, it is still the same kind as me, it is a group of water ghouls!" β
Li Qiufan was slightly surprised: "Water ghouls? Still a group? β
Shi affirmed: "I am very familiar with the taste of the same clan, and I will not be mistaken, it is a group." β
The fat man was puzzled: "Brother Fan, what is a water ghoul?" Isn't the name a ghoul, why is it related to demons again? β
Li Qiufan explained: "It's just a name, the water nature is yin, it can gather evil energy, and there are many evil hidden in it, including water ghosts, water corpses, and this water monkey, it is essentially a demon, but because it lives in the water all year round, the demon qi will absorb the corpse gas and resentment of some drowning people, and it is still very different from other water monsters, the only thing that makes me curious is that the water monkey has a very strong sense of territory, how can it live in groups..."
The monk of the First Ring made a guess: "Is it possible that behind these water ghouls, there are more powerful guys controlling them?" β
Li Qiufan's pupils shrank, what he said in the first ring is really very possible, if this is the case, then this job will be difficult again...
