In an alley away from the city center.

The floor is slightly dirty, and the telephone poles on the walls are covered with children's mischievous graffiti, such as "so-and-so is a pig" and "so-and-so is here".

At the mouth of the alley, there is a small shop with an open window as a vending door, and on the wall is a piece of whitened red paper, on which are written with a brush some preferential prices for snacks and popsicles.

Inside, a middle-aged man in a yellowed shirt was lying in a rocking chair, passing the time while swiping short videos on his mobile phone while enjoying the cool breeze brought by the small fan at the table.

Of course, this kind of small shop will not have any big business, at most, it is more convenient to buy firewood, rice, oil and salt in the neighborhood, there is no need to go to the supermarket outside the street, and there are also children's occasional pocket money to secretly buy some snacks, spicy strips and toy cards.

The days are also quite moist.

Until a few days ago.

The boss yawned, and suddenly felt a few figures outside the window blocking the light.

"What to buy...... Well? ”

He subconsciously beckoned, but when he turned his head, he found that the person who came was a little strange.

There were five people in total, three men and two women, all of whom were young people, and they all looked good, and they were wearing uniform black uniforms.

"Who are you?" He was a little wary.

Deeply influenced by TV dramas, he vaguely connected to some mysterious organization in his mind to kill people and other plots.

The people who came were naturally Su Bai and his party who were asked by Shen Suxian to lead the team.

At this time, in addition to the two newcomers of the third team, Sun Qian and Gao Lin, he was followed by two newcomers from another group.

However, probably because they had already received the information about this mission from their superiors, it was just a simple investigation task, mainly to familiarize them with the practice, so they obviously didn't pay too much attention to it.

The two members of the group were chatting relaxedly, curiously surveying their surroundings.

They seem to come from good backgrounds, and such remote places are rarely visited.

And Su Bai, as the temporary team leader, naturally wanted to solve this task as soon as possible, so he didn't drag his feet and came to the mission location immediately after gathering these newcomers.

Although this ordinary-looking alley does not show any mysterious events at all.

He leaned against the window, first asked for a bottle of water, and then asked casually with a kind smile when he was making change: "Big brother, I want to ask if there is anything strange happening in this alley recently?" ”

"Strange things? Yes, indeed. The boss recalled,

"Recently, the children have come to me to buy snacks more often, and I wonder if their appetite has increased."

"Uh, that's it?"

"Also, a lot of people here have lost their things recently, so if you want to stay here, you'd better be careful." The boss kindly reminded him.

"Well, thank you."

Su Bai nodded.

This is similar to the information Shen Suxian gave him.

Leaving the entrance of the alley, he glanced at Shen Suxian's information before.

It was a resident of this small alley who called the police at the time.

He said that he had lost some things in his house from time to time recently.

Of course, it wasn't something very valuable, otherwise he would have paid attention to it a long time ago.

It was supposed to be just a little thing like a pen and paper bottle, but what really caught his attention that day was a workbook he had bought for his child.

It was a weapon he bought for his children to practice alone after class, so that they could win against other children of the same age later!

However, on that day, it was clear that he had been working the child's topic for a few minutes, but after a few minutes, he just went to pour a cup of tea and came back to find that the table was empty.

That heavy workbook just disappeared out of thin air!

And when he asked the child if he deliberately hid the workbook to be lazy and didn't want to study, what the child said was also very strange, so strange that it was inexplicably creepy.

"Someone just walked in from here and snatched the workbook." The child blinked his eyes wide, looking innocent.

And the horror was that the place he was pointing at was outside the closed window.

The darkness of the night condensed into a ball, covering the heavy sense of oppression coming from the outside world, as if I couldn't see my fingers.

But the key is......

The child lives in a room on the third floor!

Is it a thief in the middle of the night?

But what thief would steal only children's workbooks and not money?

It's incredible!

So after that, he began to pay attention to the movement in the house.

I finally discovered the weirdness.

Sometimes it's pen and paper, some it's a meal, and some it's a little kid's snack and toy.

On the contrary, they seem to turn a blind eye to their most important money deposits.

Even if they were deliberately placed on the table, they would not attract any attention.

It's getting more and more rare.

Later, the resident couldn't stand this kind of petty theft but accumulated over time, and chose to call the police, hoping that a professional would find the thief who was acting strangely and see how this guy's head grew.

Su Bai looked at these materials and silently turned to the next page.

In fact, this is not the only one who called the police.

There are also three or four people who are also residents in this small alley, and the reasons given for calling the police are also similar, which is not surprising.

That is, this is not a single act.

Rather, it became a "phenomenon......

A mysterious event that has only been discovered in this alley.

And this mysterious event does not show any signs of harm, just stealing something that is not of much value in the eyes of ordinary people.

After Su Bai saw this small alley, he instantly understood what Shen Suxian meant.

Hearsay has had similar experience dealing with things like this.

So it's already a bit strange, and you can even guess the approximate reason at a glance.

Most of them are caused by those souls who have been obsessed with life.

Because I couldn't let go of some things in my life, I would keep my obsession with life even after I died, and do some unthinkable things.

For example, "stealing" something that has a special meaning to them like this.

"If that's all it takes, it's easy."

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the burden on his shoulders was a little lighter.

What he was most worried about was that something big would suddenly come and delay his time to run the underworld.

Now it seems that this kind of ordinary little soul is just an ordinary little soul, and it is basically not lethal, and any official member can suppress it.

"Boss, is there any funeral in the neighborhood recently?"

Su Bai turned his head to the boss again, and decided to cut through the mess directly and get straight to the point.
