Chapter 1: The Evil Spirit of the Sun Eater
On the day Qiao Yin graduated from college, her grandfather, who was dependent on her for her life, died.
After the funeral, she and her aunt returned to the paper burning shop opened by her grandfather.
The aunt took out an envelope from a drawer.
"Xiaoyin, this is your grandfather's suicide note left for you."
Qiao Yin took out the letter paper inside, which read: "Ayin, grandpa is gone, don't be sad, there will always be this day when people get old." Grandpa is very happy to see that you have succeeded in your studies. You don't have to inherit this paper burning shop, just close it after you have processed the remaining orders. Grandpa left you a thing, and put it in the cupboard in the back room, and you must take it with you. ”
Qiao Yin opened the cabinet in the inner room, and inside was a vermilion jade ring.
She had heard her grandfather say that this was a treasure handed down from her ancestors, which could ward off all evil.
She put the ring on the index finger of her right hand, and suddenly there seemed to be a gust of air flowing through her fingertips, and the person instantly became energetic.
The aunt wanted to go back to pick up the child, so she said hello and left first.
At this time, the landline in the shop suddenly rang.
As soon as Qiao Yin picked up the earpiece, he heard the man inside shouting impatiently, "Hey, boss, why hasn't the burning paper I ordered been delivered yet?" I said that it would be delivered at four o'clock in the afternoon, what time is it? ”
Qiao Yin asked, "What is your surname?" ”
"The surname is Liu, the one in the beef soup restaurant on Fenglin Road."
Qiao Yin opened the notepad on the table, and sure enough, he saw this order.
"Don't worry, I'll leave right away."
"Hurry, hurry!"
After hanging up the phone, Qiao Yin moved four bundles of burning paper and tied them to the back seat of the electric car.
About twenty minutes later, the destination arrived.
It's a back street, with only a few shops still open.
The road was cold and windy, and the sky was getting darker.
Qiao Yin felt strange, the other shops were doing bleak business, but the beef soup restaurant diagonally opposite was very popular.
A middle-aged man stood at the mouth of the alley next to the soup house and beckoned to her.
It seems that he ordered the burning paper.
Qiao Yin rode over and asked, "Is it Boss Liu?" ”
"Well, yes."
Boss Liu hurriedly motioned for her to drive a little further into the alley.
"It's not easy for the guests to see, so please take it off and give it to me."
Qiao Yin gave him the burning paper, and Boss Liu hurriedly stuffed the money, and hurried to the alley.
Jo Yin turned back to the main road, and the smell of meat wafting from the beef soup restaurant hooked her nose directly.
I happen to be hungry, so I just eat a bowl and go.
She walked into the store, "Boss, a beef soup, no coriander." ”
"Okay, wait a minute."
The air is filled with aromas, and the guests are feasting on their heads.
After a while, the beef broth was served.
Qiao Yin's hand had just touched the bowl when suddenly a gust of wind blew.
She looked down again, and the mouth-watering beef soup had turned into a bowl of black and dirty water.
A thick smell came in, and Qiao Yin instantly wanted to vomit.
What's going on?
The original scene had long since changed, and the diners were all covered with a cloud of black gas, and they didn't seem to notice anything unusual about the beef broth, and still gulped the soup into their mouths.
Although Qiao Yin was a little surprised, she didn't panic, she had heard a lot of weird talk since she was a child.
She glanced at the ruby ring on her hand, and it was estimated that she had just touched something dirty and forcibly woke it up.
This beef soup house definitely hides something greasy.
She got up casually, pretending to pour water, but in fact took the lighters of the guests at the next table.
Qiao Yin lit a corner of the tablecloth, threw some lit paper, and instantly the fire flashed and the smoke filled.
"Oh no, it's on fire!"
Everyone was shocked and ran out of the store.
"Ahh Where did the Martian seed come from? ”
The proprietress came over with a broom to put out the fire.
Qiao Yin walked up to her and saw that her Yin Tang was black and her eyes were dull.
This must have been in contact with something unclean for a long time.
"Boss, are you not afraid of losing your life when you do this kind of business?"
The proprietress looked up suddenly, her eyes first frightened, then sad.
"You, you're..."
The proprietress sat on the stool, and she looked at the little girl in front of her with a calm expression, she must be very human.
"I don't want to, but my man is like going crazy. All our belongings were used to buy this store, but unfortunately business has not been good, and we are about to lose everything. Until last month, he bought a bunch of burnt paper, paper figurines or something, and at home he was babbling some words that he didn't understand, and saying that the business in the store was saved. I thought he was talking nonsense, but I didn't expect the next day to be really business-hot. I always feel uneasy in my heart, but as soon as he has money, he takes it to gamble, and he owes a lot of debt, and there is really no way to do it. ”
Qiao Yin probably understood, he had invited evil spirits that fed on yang energy to his home.
Legend has it that after an accidental death and no one recognizes the body, their resentment will coalesce together to form an evil spirit that eats people's yang energy.
Boss Liu of this beef soup restaurant invited such an evil spirit to enter the door, which will confuse people's brains, lure everyone to eat in the store, and then concentrate on absorbing the yang energy of diners.
It's much better than it being one by one.
Qiao Yin remembered the alley where she had just met with Boss Liu, and those bundles of burning paper must have been prepared for evil spirits tonight.
She ran towards the alley, and sure enough, she saw Boss Liu burning paper money in a remote corner.
He kept throwing paper into the fire, and every now and then let out a few high-pitched giggles.
"Stop, you're not only hurting others, you're going to kill yourself."
Qiao Yin shouted at him, but Boss Liu still repeated the movements in his hand in a wooden manner.
She took a step further, and suddenly the burning light of the paper money turned an eerie green.
The wind swayed the flames to the left and side, as if there were countless small people with grimaces jumping inside.
Boss Liu turned around straightly, his face was pale, and two lines of bloody tears flowed out of his eyes.
He glared at Qiao Yin viciously, "Why do you want to spoil my good deeds!" Why! A shrill howl rang out.
There was a thick cloud of black qi swirling around Boss Liu's head, and it was obvious that the evil spirit had borrowed his body.
