Chapter 4 The ghost closet trade is underway
The second floor of the Republican-style building.
The corridor was pitch black, without the slightest light to spread, and the dark and damp environment made the wall peel off piece by piece, revealing the cyan bricks inside.
Faintly, you can see that the original white wall skin is covered with cyan and black mold, and the smell of rot and mildew permeates the air.
"Damn"
At the end of the corridor, the outline of the three doors could be faintly seen on the wall, Zheng Fei stood in front of the door in the middle, at this time his body trembled a little, his expression was a little surprised, and a helpless tone burst out of Zheng Fei's mouth.
Through the faint light of the mobile phone, you can see that the surface of the door in front of you is covered with turquoise oxide, and there is no slightest gap, and there is no doorknob, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a wall.
Zheng Fei stepped forward and knocked lightly on the door, listening to the dull sound, he knew that it was very heavy, and the nails on his fingers that had just emerged were slightly scratched, revealing a trace of yellow-brown lines.
"It's a bronze door, but here, how do I get in?"
Zheng Fei looked up at the door in front of him, holding his mobile phone in his left hand, and constantly scratching his head with his right hand, his brows locked.
"There's no choice but to find a way to break this door."
Zheng Fei retracted his upturned head and pinched his neck with his right hand, there was no way, his neck was sore after watching it for too long!
……
3:10 p.m.!
"Brother, then you go slowly!"
At this time, Zheng Fei's voice came from the second floor of the Republican-style building.
When he got closer, he saw Zheng Fei sending two workers wearing orange reflective vests and hard hats to leave.
Looking at the two departing workers, the corners of Zheng Fei's mouth twitched, and then there was a distressed look on his face!
Speaking of which, Zheng Fei made up his mind to destroy the gate, so he went to the construction area in front of him and spent money to find two workers to cut a hole about 30 centimeters long and wide under the gate.
For this reason, Zheng Fei paid 20 red tickets to find someone, these 20 red tickets are Zheng Fei's living expenses for two months, and the last time Zheng Xue left, it was given to him before it was hot.
Zheng Fei watched the two workers walk down the stairs until they could no longer hear any sound. So he hurried to the door, and leaned down, and crawled on his knees to the doorway.
Entering the room, Zheng Fei took out a flashlight, and then glanced around, the space inside was very small, and there was an old cabinet next to the innermost wall, which had been peeled off the paint, revealing the wood, which looked particularly old.
There is also a table next to the cupboard, and on the table there is an engraved line: "You will have everything and you will lose everything, be careful." Zheng Fei, who knew the original work, didn't care, so he walked towards the old cabinet.
The cabinet is divided into two layers, the upper layer is a wooden grille window, horizontal and vertical uneven, and then the cabinet door is thought of into a lot of square holes, and the inside is pitch black, and it is impossible to see what is placed behind the door.
The lower floor is a solid wood door, and the cabinet door is tightly closed.
"Is this a trickery?"
Zheng Fei kept looking at the cabinet in front of him, looking left and right, but no matter how he looked at it, he felt very ordinary, and he couldn't see anything strange.
Suddenly, a pair of eyes emerged from the hole in the cabinet door above the cabinet, and the scarlet eyeballs rolled around, and finally fixed their gaze on Zheng Fei.
"~!"
Zheng Fei exclaimed in surprise while squatting on the ground, his hands and feet together in battle and retreating again and again.
Zheng Fei, who retreated to the wall, held his head in his arms with both hands, and his body was still trembling rapidly.
At this time, Zheng Fei was very scared, and at this time, there were scenes of his death in his mind, and the more Zheng Fei was scared, and his body trembled more and more.
I don't know how long it took, Zheng Fei, who came back to his senses, found that nothing had happened. I mustered up the courage to look up and look ahead, and found that there was nothing unusual around me.
At this time, Zheng Fei slowly got up from the ground, took a deep breath, strengthened his courage, and walked towards the trickery.
Walking to the side of the cupboard, he saw that the eye in the door of the cupboard above was no longer there, and then Zheng Fei patted his chest with his right hand and breathed a sigh of relief:
"That eye should be the ghost in the cupboard, it seems that under normal circumstances, it will not come out to kill."
"It really scared me to death by "stepping on a horse". ”
"What now, do you want to trade or not?"
Zheng Fei, who was frightened, wanted to turn around and leave at this time, but when he thought that it took him two months of living expenses to come in, and he still wanted to control the tricks, he had to try anything.
"Come and come, fight hard, there will be more and more supernatural events, and there will always be a time when there is no way to avoid it"
Zheng Fei, who was ruthless, gritted his teeth and cheered himself up in a low voice.
Zheng Fei took out a pen and paper from the bag he was carrying, he planned to try to see if this trick could be traded with ordinary people first, and wrote on the paper:
"Can I trade with you?"
Then Zheng Fei rolled the paper into a column, threw it through the hole in the cabinet door above, and took two steps back sharply.
Zheng Fei really didn't dare to put it in slowly, he was afraid of coming into contact with the trick.
That is, in about ten seconds, Zheng Fei found that a piece of paper fell down from the gap in the cabinet door below.
Zheng Fei stepped forward and bent down to pick up the piece of paper, and found that there were two crooked black characters under the question he wrote:
"Yes"
Seeing these two words, Zheng Fei was overjoyed, and hurriedly took out another piece of paper and wrote:
"I'm going to harness a trick."
Then Zheng Fei stuffed the paper into the trick cabinet in the same way.
Ten seconds later, the paper fell through the crack under the twinkle again.
Zheng Fei picked up the paper and saw that it was written crookedly on the paper:
"Give me five tricks."
At this time, Zheng Fei suddenly realized that this thing seemed to be unusable to ordinary people, and the things that the trickster wanted were either tricks, supernatural items, or tricks.
But if you come into contact with something treacherous, ordinary people will definitely die or live!
Zheng Fei suddenly lost interest in trading, he felt that his 20 red tickets were lost in vain!
In the end, Zheng Fei, who was a little unwilling to give up and held a fluke in his heart, took out a piece of paper and wrote:
"I want a chance to live and navigate the tricks"
Zheng Fei then threw the note into the closet in the same way, and then stared blankly at the door under the cupboard.
It looks a lot like the first transaction, but with a few words added and some words changed in order, the meaning is completely different.
The first transaction was completely dominated by the trickery, and he directly let himself control the trick.
This led to the fact that he didn't need to work hard, and the trick cabinet needed to take out a trick and also need to make efforts for Zheng Fei to control, which led to a number of contents included in the transaction.
The second transaction was completely different, and the dominant party became Zheng Fei himself. It seems that there are a lot more words, but in fact, there is only one core, which is to live. You just need to protect yourself and stay alive until you succeed in mastering the tricks.
It took nearly a minute before a note fell from the cabinet door below.
"Huh?"
"It's been so long this time, is the Trickster thinking about the deal?"
Zheng Fei looked at the paper that was slowly falling, bent down to pick it up, and saw that there were only two words on the note.
"Time"
Seeing Zheng Fei here, he knew that Zheng Fei was a little confused
"What does time mean?"
"Is it to put a time limit on my trades?"
Suddenly, Zheng Fei seemed to think of something, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"What I trade with the trick is the opportunity to control the trick alive, if I never control the trick, wouldn't it mean that the trick has to protect myself all the time?"
Zheng Fei's heart began to rejoice.
"If this deal can be successful, wouldn't it be better to be an ordinary person than to be a trickster, a short-lived ghost like a trickster, who would be in a hurry to do it!"
When Zheng Fei saw the piece of paper in his hand again, the pleasure in his heart suddenly disappeared.
"Alas, is it so easy to take advantage of the trick?"
After thinking about it, Zheng Fei wrote three words at the bottom of the time on the paper.
"Three months!"
As for why it was three months, Zheng Fei considered that if the time was too long, the price he needed to pay would be greater, and the time was too short, and his operation space was too small.
And if Yang Jian is given two months to grow, he will be much stronger, and his own operation space will be greater later.
After the note was thrown into the cupboard, it didn't move for a long time. The Trickster seemed to fall silent, as if judging the rationality of this time.
It was about another minute or so, and the paper fell through the crack in the door below, as if after some thought.
Zheng Fei immediately picked it up and opened it, and inside was the note he had stuffed in just now, with black handwriting written crookedly: "One month."
One month?
"This trick is absolutely conscious, and it can be like the aunt in the vegetable market, bargaining."
Zheng Fei instantly felt that the trick was a little unreliable, a conscious trick, and he couldn't tell when he would dig a hole for himself.
"Yes!"
But Zheng Fei still decided to agree and see what the trading conditions proposed by the tricky cabinet were. Then stuff the written note into the cupboard.
At this time, Zheng Fei no longer had much hope, and he silently calculated in his heart how much money he had spent during this time.
Buying cigarettes, taking taxis, digging holes, and calculating the cost of a pen, Zheng Fei can feel that his heart is dripping blood.
"It's all my sister's hard-earned money!"
Zheng Fei's eyes drifted over the cupboard and found that there was an extra piece of paper on the ground under the cabinet door.
"It's a quick time this time!" Zheng Fei picked up the pieces of paper casually
"Isn't that right? It's not the one I stuffed in. Zheng Fei muttered a little in his heart.
"Bring it to me in three months"
When he saw the same crooked black font on the top line, Zheng Fei was a little puzzled.
"Bring something to it? Still three months? ”
Then when Zheng Fei flipped through the piece of paper, he found that the back was actually a photo.
The background of the photo is a bit blurry, and it looks like a red cabinet on closer inspection.
There is also a silver-white hairpin above the cabinet, which is also carved with a circle of patterns, and the end is inlaid with a red gemstone.
"The red cabinet in the photo can't be the trick in front of you, right?" Zheng Fei was a little frightened, holding the photo and comparing it with the ghost cabinet in front of him, the more he looked at it, the more it looked!
"Then this hairpin on it is the item of trade?" Zheng Fei was slightly surprised in his heart,
"What does the scheming want this hairpin for? Jigsaw puzzle? Something is not right, how can a cabinet need a hairpin? ”
Zheng Fei became more and more puzzled in his heart, the hairpin looked ordinary, but he knew that what the trickster wanted was definitely not an ordinary hairpin, and the hairpin should be a supernatural item.
Zheng Fei looked at the photo in his hand carefully, he wanted to see some clues about the hairpin from above, and he was also thinking about what effect this hairpin would have for the trick cupboard, or the ghost cupboard to collect something tricky?
"Forget it, let's do it first, I'll know when I have a chance."
After a while, Zheng Fei rubbed his temples, thinking that these things are too brain-consuming, let's take one step at a time!
"That'...... Is the transaction considered successful? ”
"So the Trickster will protect my life for the next month?"
Zheng Fei looked at the photo in his hand, and the cabinet did not move at this time.
There was a hint of joy in his heart, the purpose of this transaction had been achieved, and he could try to control the trick.
Although the time is only a month, it is not impossible to plan, at least life is guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Zheng Fei put away the photo in his hand, walked out, and hummed a song in his mouth: "Good luck to wish you good luck to ......."
When Zheng Fei was crawling out of the doorway, the door under the cabinet opened automatically, and scarlet and viscous blood overflowed from the door.
As soon as the spilled scarlet blood touched the ground, it flowed straight towards Zheng Fei, looking at the slow-flowing blood, it actually reached Zheng Fei's feet in an instant.
When the viscous scarlet blood touched Zheng Fei's feet, the scarlet blood at the cupboard door stopped flowing out, and slowly retreated back to the cupboard. However, if you look closely at Zheng Fei's feet, you will find that some blood remains on Zheng Fei's feet, which instantly seeps into the soles of Zheng Fei's shoes.
Zheng Fei, who felt the coldness coming from the soles of his feet, climbed faster, using his hands and feet at the same time. The coldness became stronger and stronger, and began to spread all over the body, and Zheng Fei, who climbed out of the gate, ran out of the building without looking back.
Under the thick scorching sun, the coldness on Zheng Fei's body did not ease in the slightest, and his current body was like falling into an ice cave.
Zheng Fei took out his mobile phone and turned on the camera to see what he looked like now, his pale face was bloodless, panting heavily, like a teenager hollowed out by wine.
"What's wrong with you?"
Zheng Fei was a little frightened, his face was similar to some of the tricksters in his memory.
"Trickery? Is this the supernatural power of the ghost cabinet eroding my body? ”
"If this continues, if I don't control the trick in a month, won't I die?"
At this time, Zheng Fei's brows were tightly locked, he was both a little surprised and a little distressed at the same time, he didn't expect that the spirit of the tricky cabinet would erode his body.
"It's grandma's, isn't it a big loss for me?"
"It's you...... Trick! ”
Zheng Fei's face was a little hideous, and he said viciously, as if the ghost cabinet could hear his words!
After a long pause, Zheng Fei looked back at the house behind him, and his fear of the trick cabinet increased a little, and he made up his mind that this was the first and last transaction.
Zheng Fei looked back at the sun in the sky that had already traveled westward, took a group of deep breaths, and walked towards the sun with a determined gaze, and the shadow behind him gradually lengthened......
