A contract in exchange for souls?

Su Bai's pupils shrank, and he realized that things might be even more strange and dangerous than he had expected!

The rest of the newcomers were also dull, and they opened their mouths wide and forgot to close them for a while.

This is too much impact for them who have just entered the industry, so that they can't accept it for a while.

And Su Bai also had a flash of inspiration after hearing these words, and quickly realized something: "That means that the inspection report I saw in the living room outside is not yours, but your granddaughter's?" ”

"That's right."

The old woman nodded, a smile of relief on her face.

"At that time, I was desperate, even if I knew that it was probably a trick to deceive, I agreed with the last shred of hope, after all, the other party's request was only a signature, and I didn't need money or anything of value."

"After signing the contract, the mysterious man laughed and said that my granddaughter's illness would get better in a week."

"And at the price, I would die within three days of getting better."

"I didn't believe it at first, but within two days, I saw that my granddaughter's condition seemed to be improving, so I took it to the hospital for a check-up, and I was soon surprised to find that her condition had improved greatly......

"I knew a miracle had happened!"

The old woman still cried with joy when she recalled it now, wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and her voice trembled a little with joy, "It didn't take long for Yin'er's illness to completely improve, and it basically didn't affect her future life." ”

"But at the price, you're going to die." Su Bai looked at her with a complicated expression.

"That's right, but my old woman has lived for so many years, what does it make if she lives a few more years or a few years less, and Yin'er still has a long ...... in the future"

The old woman said contentedly.

She feels that such a life for a life is very profitable, and she has no regrets so far.

Just a little bit of a pity.

I regret that I couldn't witness my granddaughter grow up, and I'm worried about what my granddaughter's life will become without my own care.

But no matter what, she believes that as long as she survives, there is all hope!

Su Bai did not judge this point, it is understandable that he has a deep affection for his ancestors and grandchildren, but this kind of behavior such as depriving others of their lifespan and even predestined souls seriously provokes his dignity as a city god, and he must not turn a blind eye.

What's more, he also wants to find out who the real culprit behind this is, and what means were used to achieve this.

A mysterious object or some kind of ritual?

"Did they say what your soul was going to do?" Su Bai asked.

"Nope." The old woman shook her head, "They just said that there would be news within a month after I died, so let me wait here." ”

"And they also said that it was useless for me to run away even if I wanted to. And I didn't want to run away, I just wanted to take advantage of the last bit of time to accompany Yin'er......"

Having said that, there was still a strong reluctance in the old woman's eyes.

If given a choice, she definitely wouldn't want to leave.

"A month?"

Su Bai estimated it, and was immediately surprised, "Isn't that just in the past few days?" ”

"Well, that's why I want to knit another sweater for my granddaughter before leaving......" the old woman nodded.

Su Bai asked curiously, "Then didn't the other party say how to take your soul away?" ”

"No ......"

The old woman recalled it, but still shook her head, looking dazed, "They just said let me wait." ”

"So weird? And it's so relaxed, I don't worry about you running away at all......" Su Bai glanced at the little girl outside who had been amused by the two female team members.

"Could it be that you think that you can run, and the monk can't run the temple, so you don't worry?"

"It's possible, but I don't think it's that simple."

There is no reason for someone who can exchange such unbelievable conditions to use such brainless and brutal means.

He pondered for a moment, and finally tried to ask, "Can you recall that there is anything special about that contract?" ”

"Special content?"

The old woman recalled it carefully, frowning, but she never found anything.

But just when she was about to deny it, she suddenly seemed to remember something, and whispered a little uncertainly: "There is a rule, they stipulate that the place where I will be buried after death cannot be chosen at random, but must be in the Fengming Mountain cemetery on the outskirts of the city." ”

"Fengming public fundraising?!"

Su Bai's face changed suddenly, and he finally couldn't hold it anymore.

The place he was very familiar with, and could even say impressed.

"Ghost Feast!"

Even now that I think about it, I still have some lingering feelings about this banquet dedicated to eating ghosts.

Dangerous!

Terror!

Mysterious!

These are three of his deepest impressions of that place.

Even if he hadn't been happy at that time, he might have been left there forever by those terrible black shadows!

Originally, Ge Ningjian sent people to keep an eye on that side, and once a ghost was attracted to it, he would immediately stop and arrest it, and leave it to solve it after he became strong in the future.

It's just that I never thought that now I just came to investigate a case casually and got involved.

There are even some clues that have not been found before......

A contract that can be sold for souls......

Now Su Bai suddenly understood.

After that, the old woman will also be called by the mysterious suona, and then go to the ghost feast.

However, it is not the diners who are sad, but the sad ingredients, which are eaten.

It's like the female ghost who didn't save herself in the first place.

"Could it be that all those ingredients came from before?"

Su Bai guessed, but unfortunately he had not encountered other similar cases so far.

And what makes him most curious is how the other party did this.

But at this moment, he suddenly remembered where the unique aura on the old lady's body came from.

His expression froze, and his eyes slowly widened.

It was so familiar, so familiar that he almost forgot where it came from, as if he had become completely accustomed to it.

Underworld!

Yin God!

The other party has an aura similar to the underworld!

Although Su Bai still had no change on his face and remained calm, there was already an uproar in his heart, and he only felt that the speed of his heart was the most intense in his life.

He didn't expect to feel the breath of the underworld outside in a place he hadn't interfered with.

He felt it carefully, no wonder there was a strange sense of familiarity when he saw the little girl before, and even more so when he arrived at the old woman's side.

There is no doubt that the so-called life-swapping contract is definitely a dungeon-like means under some kind of cover!

"Underworld?"

He frowned.

Neither is it right......

Now he was pretty sure that the entire dungeon had long since been destroyed, and there could be no second person other than him who controlled the dungeon's resources.

And after the initial shock had calmed down, he also vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

Although the aura on the other party's body is very similar to the aura of the dungeon he is in charge of, it is still very different.

Under the seemingly orderly appearance, there is obviously a thick sense of madness and malice, which is not at all the same as his own control of the whole city to maintain the order of yin and yang.

Moreover, it seems to be more ancient and mysterious, and even just looking at it makes you feel like you are going to be polluted......

He came back to his senses and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

"Could it be something like the threshold of the previous ghost gate?"

But he soon dismissed this speculation.

If it's just a threshold, it should be far from being able to do this level.

Moreover, this kind of thing of transferring life span and curing people's diseases is by no means something that can be done with an ordinary magic weapon.

This requires a certain degree of mobilization of the power of the rules of heaven and earth.

You must know that modifying the life span is the power of the gods of the underworld!

It's not something that any cat or dog can do casually.

According to these clues, it looks more like a powerful Yin official controlling everything behind his back......

It's just that judging from that malicious aura, the state of this possible "Yin Official" may be very abnormal.

It's like ......

Lunatic?

"I think I've found something amazing......

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief lightly, feeling that this trip was really worth it.

Now he looks at the newcomers who he thought were holding him back a little bit.

"Captain, what are we going to do now?"

These newcomers naturally didn't know what Su Bai was thinking now, and they didn't know the secrets of the so-called underworld, they just vaguely felt that things were a bit big from the few words that the old woman said.

"I will report these things to Shen Suxian's side, and the next things are beyond the ability of you newcomers, so you can go back first."

Su Bai didn't plan to let them continue to mix.

Although several newcomers did not say it explicitly, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Although this old woman looks kind, she is also a ghost, and she is not comfortable staying here, so she can leave early and feel at ease.

After a few people left, the old woman also went to the living room, and spoiled her granddaughter's side, not at all like a dead ghost.

However, from time to time, she still looked at Su Bai in front of her with some uneasiness, and only after she asked her granddaughter to go back to her room to do her homework after dinner, she asked cautiously.

"I wonder what you're going to do with me next?"

"Don't worry, I won't let you and your granddaughter be separated directly." Su Bai muttered, "We can let you stay here for a while, but as a condition, you will go on a more dangerous mission. ”

Of course, he can intercept the other party with the power of the prefecture first, and he doesn't need to pay attention to any contracts, he can feel that although the aura on the other party's body is very evil and ancient, it is not strong from the perspective of the rules of heaven and earth.

He can erase it now with the power of the City God.

But he wasn't going to do that.

He still understands the reason for startling the snake, and the mysterious person who appeared with the contract also made him curious about what identity he played in this transaction.

After leaving the Lin family in the evening, Su Bai first contacted Shen Suxian and gave a general explanation of the situation here, but deliberately skipped the content about the underworld, and only said that there might be something hidden behind Lin Qiufen's death.

Shen Suxian was also a little surprised on the other end of the phone.

"I thought it was just a simple case, how could it involve any hidden ......"

Her tone was a little crying and laughing, but she didn't take it too seriously.

After all, she didn't know that it might involve the underworld and ghosts, and she just thought it was an ordinary murder case.

"Then be careful over there, do you need any support in the future?" Shen Suxian asked, "I can also mention a few words from the alliance police, if there is really any murder, they can send professional detectives......

"I shouldn't need it for the time being, but ......"

He hesitated for a moment: "You can contact over there to see if there are any good families who want to adopt a little girl, the kind of people who have no bad history before." ”

"Is it the little girl from the Lin family?"

Shen Suxian also read the file, so he naturally thought of it immediately.

"Well, it was her grandmother who asked me." Su Bai admitted.

"I see." Shen Suxian agreed, and said with a smile, "You can rest assured of my connections, and you will definitely be able to find a good family suitable for the little girl." ”

Su Bai naturally believed that he had seen Shen Suxian's ability, whether it was a person of three religions and nine ranks, she could always have some connections, her social skills were extremely strong, and she always had a close smile on her face.

It's rare to see a period as cold as a corpse before.

"Then please......"

Su Bai breathed a sigh of relief, and when he was about to hang up the phone, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment when he heard a gentle "be careful with everything" from there, and when he looked over again, the phone had already hung up.

What did she perceive?

Su Bai thought about it and shook his head.

Shen Suxian is very smart, he knows it, but he should have only sensed that there were some hidden secrets and dangers behind this case, but he was very sensible and did not choose to intervene.

She believes in Su Bai's ability very much, which can also be seen from the previous few interactions.

……

Walk into the underworld.

The errand servant Fang Su Bai has been handed over to Ge Ningjian, a capable subordinate who has been following him, to manage, and he himself is now in the City God Temple, serving as the City God wholeheartedly.

In the past two days, there have been a few new ghosts, all of whom were relatively upright people in their lives, and there are two coalition police officers who died in the line of duty, which are very professional.

And when he saw the existence of the underworld, he quickly adapted to it after experiencing some shock, and he was very excited to accept the position of the ghost.

For them, who were to catch criminals in their lifetime, this is the most familiar life, and they can continue to capture the ghosts of those evil people after death, and they basically don't have to worry about the danger of overturning, which makes them very excited.

And when he arrived at the City God Temple, he was immediately greeted by ghosts.

"Go and call Ge Ningjian and Black and White Impermanence to come over." He commanded.

Not long after, two figures, one black and one white, hurried over, bowed respectfully in front of him.

"I've seen Lord Chenghuang!"

After being tempered, these two new yin gods have gradually mastered the essentials of their own priesthood, and they are quite presentable, quite a bit of the black and white impermanence of legends and myths.

And Ge Ningjian had already arrived and was waiting aside.

Su Bai glanced at him: "What's wrong with Fengming's public offering recently?" ”

Ge Ningjian recalled for a moment and replied, "No." ”

"I've had the ghosts patrol the neighborhood for the past few days to prevent any ghosts from coming in and out, and there's nothing out of the ordinary."
