Chapter 8: The Murderous Spirit of the Ancient Mansion (2)
"It's a mirror." Tang Yuefei said softly.
The guest named Wang Chen nodded, "You're right. ”
"Whenever I'm in that house, there's a mysterious force pulling me.
"A voice came to mind in my head. It says 'I'm in the attic', 'I'm in the attic'. The voice was ethereal, real and illusory. I don't know if I'm hallucinating, but the allure in my voice is real. It kept talking and talking until one day, when I finally couldn't help myself and opened the attic door. ”
"I saw an old-fashioned dressing mirror, the one where the dresser was connected to the mirror.
"The moment I opened the door, the whole sky suddenly darkened, and I remembered the murmur of Soso like a beep in my ears, and I could not hear the contents, only feel that the voices were laughing. The mirror was facing the attic door, and the moment I opened the door, the whole vanity mirror appeared in front of my eyes. And the person in the mirror who looked exactly like me was standing there looking at me, with a strange smile on his face. The man in the mirror walked towards me step by step, all the way to the mirror. He grinned and plunged his nails into his heart as sharp as a knife. ”
Seeing this scene, I was at a loss and almost subconsciously rushed out of the door. I didn't dare to look back, and in my ears, there was only endless laughter.
"Since then, the whole house has been sealed up by me. I know that if I think of it as a fortune again, I would be very wrong.
"I thought it was the end of the story. I sealed the house, no longer set foot in it, and forbade outsiders to enter. No matter what kind of evil spirit lives in it, as long as I don't provoke you, what can you do to me? This thought continued until that day, when I saw the same hideous and terrifying smiling face in my own mirror. He smiled and approached me, claws like sharp knives. ”
"It's coming for me. It won't be long before I die at its hands. ”
"Its power is constantly growing. From the moment I opened the door and was exposed to the mirror, it had awakened. Over time, its power has grown little by little, from the dressing desk mirror in that old house, to the mirror in my home, to now, even any object that can reflect light on the surface!
"The man in the mirror said to me, 'Come on! Come back to me! You have nowhere to run! You know, I'm running out of ways......
"So, if you can, please save me! No matter what you give......"
A chill flashed unconsciously on Lu Cheng's spine.
It's cold, isn't it? Hehe.
……
Wang Chen left.
He left behind an advance payment, an old portkey, a string of his contact numbers, and a piece of paper with the address of the old house.
When he left, he was very depressed, obviously a young man in his twenties and thirties, but at this time he was as old as if he had experienced the vicissitudes of time and the warmth of the world. This feeling is very clear to Lu Cheng, who just asked for the "smoke ghost appearance".
Tang Yuefei was writing something on the table, Lu Cheng glanced at it, it was about a description of supernatural events, and there were several keywords with a capital on her paper: ancient house, mirror, and fierce spirit.
"How?" Lu Cheng asked.
"Not much." Tang Yue pursed her lips and replied naturally.
"Hey," Lu Cheng moved a chair and sat down directly across from her, "May I ask, you've been running this office for a while, have you ever encountered this type of thing before?" ”
"Which type?" Tang Yue smiled, "Does the earthbound spirit hurt people?" That's a lot! And it's mostly this kind of event. ”
"Wait, I mean the same level of trouble as this one! Have you encountered it before? Realizing that his statement was wrong, Lu Cheng quickly changed his question. To be honest, Mr. Wang Chen's words didn't scare Miss Tang, he didn't know, he was really scared! So what he desperately hopes for now is to hear the proprietress in front of him calmly say, "This kind of thing!" It's a little funny! I've come across it a lot before! You can solve it with just a few fingers! ”
"Let me think about it, if you are at the same level......" Tang Yuefei tapped her head with the barrel of her pen, her gaze drifting to the ceiling, "Yes." It's just that I rarely take those orders~" She shrugged, "Listening to that gentleman's description, the mirror spirit that pestered him is also a monster with years of cultivation and cultivation." This is usually big business! You know, our office is already short of people, and I'm a weak woman and a soft body, how can I take on this kind of dirty work? ”
After speaking, Mrs. Tang also blinked her big watery eyes, revealing a pitiful look.
"......" Lu Cheng's expression stiffened for a moment, he tensed his face, and kept the corners of his mouth up as much as possible, "Then you, a weak woman with a delicate body, where did you get the courage to take on this dirty work at this moment?" ”
"It's different now! Isn't there still you by my side~" The proprietress continued to blink, her long eyelashes flashing, "Lu Lang, I know, with the blood of the Immortal Monarch, you are invincible in the world, right?" ”
Hehe...... I'm going to leave the mess to clean up by myself, right......
Lu Cheng swore that if he hadn't seen Tang Yuefei like this, his bones were already crispy, he would have flipped the table as soon as possible and then slapped his ass and left.
"Ahem...... What the hell is this Lu Lang......" Lu Chengqiang held up half of his body to not collapse to the ground, and his two eyes quickly avoided the high-intensity current in the eyes of the proprietress.
"Now that this business has been accepted, if we let it go, the matter will get out, and our firm will not be able to gain a foothold in the psychic world! I am a weak woman, adrift and lonely, and it is difficult to start a business, can you bear to see me helpless and cut off my livelihood and live on the streets? Tang Yuefei wiped her eyes, and she looked like she was really pitiful.
"Don't worry! And me! Lu Cheng patted his chest, smiled (wailed) and made a precious promise.
"Lu Lang is the best!" Tang Yuefei suddenly smiled, and her affectionate smile was full of affection (old treacherous and cunning).
The ruthless fact finally proves how powerful the gentle offensive of the proprietress is, and how unprincipled Lu Cheng is, who ...... "pure heart".
Tang Yuefei closed the small pile of documents in front of him, put them all into an archive box, and wrote a few small words on the side of the archive box: Ancient Mansion Murderous Spirit.
Lu Cheng knew that from this moment on, this business would be officially taken over and enshrined.
It's ridiculous that he was really stupid enough to take on such a crazy thing that seemed incomprehensible to outsiders without any consideration.
Who do you think you are? Do you think you're still the all-powerful ruler of the world? No, no, no, Ye Tianxing had already made it very clear before leaving, in this life, there is no possibility of awakening.
Lu Cheng subconsciously reached out and touched the inch-length short sword on his waist, only in this way could he feel a little safe. This black dragon is probably really the last hole card he can rely on as a mortal.
From the moment the girl was resurrected, he was mentally prepared to be involved in this war between the two realms of life and soul. Determined to protect her, he showed the courage to face the darkness.
Near noon, the two of them casually went out to get some food.
For an otaku and a half-otaku, foraging is one of the survival skills that must be mastered. But fortunately, it is not a picky animal for food tastes, and the tea restaurants around the corner of the alley, and the food stalls on the street corners, these are all good places to go that are both economical and affordable.
After eating, Lu Cheng had classes in the afternoon, and Tang Yuefei continued to go back to surf the Internet and watch the store.
Soon, a dark canopy of heaven quietly descended on the whole city. Colorful neon lights and moonlight reflect the empty night sky. The commercial area is brightly lit, and the residential area is full of cars and people. Like the opening of the door to another world, the day and night of S City are always two different rhythms.
"Get in the car!" Stopped in front of Lu Cheng was a fiery red Ferrari sports car.
This top-of-the-line sports car has a limit on the number of customers, so it does not have more than 5,000 customers per year. And if you want to find a color to quote a brand in the automotive world, it's the red Ferrari.
The long-haired beauty in the car snapped her fingers with brown sunglasses, and her gestures were domineering.
Lu Cheng was stunned, not because of anything else, but because the woman in the car was his boss Tang Yuefei.
"Get in the car-" Seeing that the other party did not move as if she had been hit by a hibernation card, Miss Tang, who was full of royal sister Fan, reluctantly repeated her previous words again. Today she wore a black coat, the loose robe did not show her proud figure, but it better set off the girl's original queen aura.
"Oh...... Oh! Lu Cheng swallowed his saliva, picked up his backpack and rushed forward, grabbed the car door, rolled over and jumped directly into the car.
Miss Tang didn't talk too much nonsense, and after a shallow smile, she stepped on the accelerator and soared all the way.
How to say, this supercar, which has the name of "Red Devil", was probably born for the track. If you haven't experienced the taste of running on the road, you will never understand the original design intention of a sports car for the rest of your life.
Tang Yuefei's driving skills also have nothing to say. Ghost Hitomi's abilities, in addition to giving her super vision, also provide her with a super vision similar to the "bullet time" of the Matrix Rineo. In Miss Tang's eyes, no matter how fast she is, the other cars on the road are as if they are stationary. In the sea of traffic, this red lightning flew through like a fish. She plugged in when she saw it, but every time there was no danger, just a few tail flicks, and she left a large number of Mercedes-Benz BMWs behind.
Lu Cheng was surprised......
This is the real-life version of Fast and Furious...... Sister, can you play a little more? Can you play a little more?!
"Damn, where did you come from Ferrari?" As soon as he got in the car, it didn't take long for Lu Cheng to can't help but raise the question in his heart. Although it is not unusual for such a sports car to appear in S City, it is too abnormal for a half-housed girl like you who eats in a small office and still has to pay high rent, water and electricity!
"My friend borrowed it," Tang Yuefei's expression was slightly meaningful, and she said while putting the steering wheel, "I haven't practiced driving skills for a long time, and it just so happens that the location of this mission is in the suburbs and countryside, and if you don't have a means of transportation, do you still let this girl walk with you?" ”
"Where did I get such a friend! Also drive a Ferrari! At this moment, Lu Cheng's expression could not be described as "surprised", "Your former customer? ”
"It's not~" Tang Yue denied it in a chic manner, and at the same time, her face tilted downward, and she cast a playful look at Lu Cheng through the gap in the sunglasses, "A man who has a good play, a man~"
"Uh...... Rich, huh? ”
Tang Yue smiled, "What do you say?" ”
"Is it as handsome as me?" Lu Cheng continued to ask without giving up.
"Please, compare yourself with others, can you still look good?"
“……”
While speaking, a traffic light blocked in front of her, and Miss Tang rushed over without looking!
This move made Lu Cheng a cold sweat, "Forget it, you better stop talking, can we obey the traffic rules and drive well?" ”
"Don't worry, hehe," Miss Tang still looks like that, "You don't have to worry about my driving skills~"
"Is your driving skill just a casual traffic light!"
"It doesn't matter~ It's not my car anyway~" Tang Yuefei smiled lightly, "An, that brother's license plate number is backed up in the traffic police department~ Even if you break through a traffic light and speed for dozens of yards, it's nothing more than a matter of turning a blind eye ~"
Speaking of which, Lu Cheng didn't have the heart to ask any more.
Handsome, rich, and has a background, this character is set to suppress himself, right? There's no need to ask again! Ask him again, do you want to give him another noble bloodline of the Eight Families Inheritance, and a high-level identity among psychic hunters? Hehe.
If in the city, Miss Tang still has some scruples because of the vehicle problem, then in the suburbs, this unlicensed girl driving a red sports car is really lawless.
Thanks to her, Lu Cheng experienced the feeling of "flying close to the ground" for the first time in his life.
Soon, with the help of a speeding car, the destination of this mission was reached.
According to the GPS navigation, Tang Yuefei easily found the address left by Wang Chen. After parking the car on the side of the road, the ancient mansion under the dark curtain appeared in front of the two for the first time.
Its architectural form is still relatively old, quite like the style of a small Chinese-style western-style building after the twenties of the last century. The key is the entire geographical location, which is close to the natural scenic area and has multiple highways intersecting nearby. This makes the whole villa both natural and traffic arteries.
Wang Chen's idea is right, after a slight modification, the commercial value of this villa will be considerable.
"The mountains in the distance look at each other, but there is no water source river nearby, and the mountains are in the shape of a tiger and a dragon, and the auspicious dragon is forced, and it becomes a situation of 'imprisoning the dragon and trapping the water', and this house is a big murderer!" Tang Yuefei frowned and said matter-of-factly.
"Do you still know Feng Shui?" Lu Cheng picked up his backpack and got out of the car, looking suspicious.
"I don't understand," Tang Yuefei shook her head solemnly, "But I've been watching "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" recently. ”
"Hey, hey! Don't think that I don't know what this "Ghost Blows the Lantern" without watching "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", "The Dragon Trapped in the Water" is made up by you, ha......" Lu Cheng's flawless eyes were overflowing with complaints for a while.
"Ha, you've seen through it!" Miss Tang's face changed in a second, but she didn't last three seconds, and her sunny girly cuteness gradually became gloomy, "Hehe, although I said that the first few sentences were all made up by me, but the last sentence is a big murderer, I didn't say it wrong at all." ”
A turquoise glow flashed in her eyes.
What kind of suburban villa is in front of you, this is clearly a ghostly wilderness and dry mound.
