Chapter 363: Hunt and Kill
Niu Haixi knelt in front of a long sword and muttered a mantra.
The long sword was wrapped in rune paper, and most of the rune paper was rotten, revealing the color and pattern of the bronze sword inside.
Niu Haixi's room is only ten square meters, and the walls are covered with portraits of Zhong Kui. Zhong Kui's appearance is similar, the way Zhong Kui kills ghosts and the appearance of those hideous and strange ghosts are very different, and each one is very distinctive and innovative.
The lights in the room are energy-saving lamps and are full of light. Although the portrait of Zhong Kui is terrifying, because of this light, it does not make people feel weird and afraid.
Niu Haixi was afraid in his heart, but he was not afraid of those portraits of Zhong Kui. He was afraid of the thing that wanted to kill him. He couldn't figure out when he had provoked such a terrible thing. He didn't even know what that thing was.
He finally approached the master for help, but the other party couldn't deduce what was going on in the danger he encountered. For the sake of his quick payment, the other party rented this safe house for him.
The safe house can only guarantee his life.
The problem is still not solved.
If he had escaped death a few times, that thing would not have been able to find him for a long time, and maybe he would have given up.
“…… If you're just unlucky enough to run into something, that's probably going to be a good solution. ”
The man who called himself Gu Tianshi did not put on an attitude of fooling customers, he and Niu Haixi were barely considered business partners, and everyone did not know each other's true faces, not to say that they knew each other's roots.
What Gu Tianshi said was ambiguous, but it was the truth. For the sake of money, even the portrait of Zhong Kui and the bronze ancient sword in the safe house and safe house were generously rented to Niu Haixi at a market price.
These things are genuine, ancestral things. Back then, Gu Tianshi's father relied on these things to make a fortune and became famous in the circle. Gu Tian's master inherited his father's business and took a step forward in his speech, but the real skills in his hands were still only those, even where did this bronze ancient sword and Zhong Kui's portrait come from, and what kind of effect it had, the two generations of his family have not studied it clearly.
Niu Haixi didn't believe in Gu Tianshi's theoretical level, but he couldn't find anyone else to show him for the time being.
Niu Haixi didn't even know if what those people said was a prevarication, or if he was really busy with other business and couldn't control him. If it is a prevarication, it is because he sees his situation and is unwilling to intervene, or is it because he is the person who asks for help and is too lazy to take care of it?
Niu Haixi's heart was depressed, and he stumbled in reciting mantras.
He simply gave up the incantation and sat on the ground.
The spell he asked for from someone else, and it was said to be an exorcism spell of some sect in history. The sect died out over time, and the exorcism spell was passed down by luck, but it was not all gone. Originally, he could kill the ghost king of the ten thousand worlds, but now at most he can drive away the lonely souls and wild ghosts.
For such a story, Niu Haixi can make up a few paragraphs with his mouth open, and each paragraph is not the same.
Niu Haixi is also a dead horse as a live horse doctor, and all the means that can be used can be used, no matter which one comes in handy, his life can be saved.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door.
Niu Haixi picked up his phone and looked at the time.
It's time to eat.
The safe house is in one of Gu Tianshi's properties, and there are nannies and security guards hired by him to take care of it.
This can also be regarded as the place where Gu Tianshi is blue. His father didn't have that much of a panache at that time, and he didn't have such a good service attitude.
Niu Haixi opened the door and saw the nanny aunt who had been taking care of him for the past few days coming in with a small table with a smile.
"Mr. Niu, drink chicken soup today, as well as fried vegetables, fried shrimp, and braised pork." The nanny aunt put the small table on the ground, "You eat, I'll clean it up later." ”
Three dishes and one soup, there are meat and vegetarian, these days have been like this, and the dishes of each meal have been turned over and done, and they have not been repeated.
The first level of the nanny aunt is a fight with the level of Niu Haixi's storytelling.
Niu Haixi nodded and thanked the other party.
He waited for the other to go out and closed the door.
Niu Haixi sat cross-legged on the ground, with a mobile phone in his left hand and chopsticks in his right hand.
The mobile phone is connected to WIFI, and he relies on it to contact the outside world these days.
There are too many people he needs to contact, but no matter how many people there are, a few days of hard work can allow him to send out all the messages. Those who refuse, those who do not respond, those who play dead, and those who are unable to deal with it after agreeing...... All the replies had to be handled by him. There are some capable people, he can only beg others to save his life. But he sent out a plea, and I don't know if people have seen it.
Niu Haixi was worried, and the delicious food tasted the same as chewing wax.
While scrolling through WeChat messages, he ate absentmindedly, and before he knew it, he had eaten all the meals.
He put down his mobile phone and wanted to get up to call the nanny aunt, but he saw that the portrait of Zhong Kui on the wall seemed to be a little wrong.
Niu Haixi stared nervously at the painting.
In the painting, Zhongyan has a beard, dark skin, round eyes, a blue-faced ghost in his hand, and a red-haired ghost in his foot, but the direction of his eyes is not two little ghosts.
Niu Haixi followed Zhong Kui's line of sight and turned his body.
His head was swinging, like a spectator watching a tennis match.
After going back and forth several times, he finally determined that Zhong Kui was looking at the small dining table.
Niu Haixi's hairs exploded.
He covered his mouth and opened it again, trying to shove his fingers in to induce vomiting.
He paused, and suddenly became suspicious.
He looked at the portrait of Zhong Kui again, hesitating.
He looked at the other portraits.
In the painting, Zhong Kui is all good, and some of them do not look at those ghosts, but at unknown places.
Is he thinking too much?
Niu Haixi had goosebumps on his body and chilled all over his body.
He couldn't be sure, so he could only look at the sword with help.
The longsword doesn't look the same.
Compared with the numerous, different but easily confused portraits of Zhong Kui, Niu Haixi is more familiar with this long sword.
There should be no problem.
Niu Haixi wiped the sweat from his neck.
He must have been overthinking.
He's been too nervous lately.
That's not a good thing.
The more scared you are, the easier it is to fall for it.
Niu Haixi walked to the door again, and after opening the door, he called the nanny and aunt.
He didn't get a response, but he didn't care.
Gu Tianshi's house is not small.
In addition to this safe house, he also arranged a lot of things in the house to ward off evil spirits. Some of them are still sellers who act as intermediaries for Niu Haixi, match him and introduce him. It's just that these things are true and false, and the ones introduced by Niu Haixi himself may not be true.
Niu Haixi didn't think that after his accident, he found that there were too few real people and real things in the circle. It was the one who was originally famous, and he thought it was true, and now he also suspects that the other party is a blind cat that touches a dead mouse, or simply a blind cat that touches a shovel officer, and it doesn't matter if he catches the mouse or not.
Niu Haixi was secretly wondering, and he was also worrying about where he should go.
Goo.
Niu Haixi suddenly heard a slight sound of water.
Niu Haixi turned his head sharply.
The portrait of Zhong Kui in the room has not changed much, and the bronze sword is also lying quietly, nothing abnormal.
There is only one entrance to this room. The toilet is next door, but you have to go out of the room before you can enter the toilet. The toilet pipe goes down the other wall, and the sound does not reach this room. This is not only the case for water pipes, but also for the circuits and network cables used in this room. It is said that everything was opened by Gu Tianshi at the invitation of the master, and the gods and ghosts did not invade.
Gu Tianshi didn't have real skills, but he put a lot of thought into the details and arranged the safe house very properly.
If there's a strange noise, it's only from outside.
Niu Haixi looked at the open door and hurriedly closed the door.
Goo.
Niu Haixi's scalp is about to fly.
He gasped and looked fearfully at the small dining table in the middle of the room.
The white light of the energy-saving lamp suddenly turned into an eerie red light.
Niu Haixi let out an exclamation.
The light was blurry, but Niu Haixi still saw Zhong Kui on the portrait of Zhong Kui around him turn his head in unison and looked at the small dining table in the middle of the house.
Goo.
The soup bowl that had been eaten clean by Niu Haixi came out of the yellow and clear chicken soup.
The chicken broth is bubbling on the surface and covered with a layer of oily seeds, which looks disgusting.
This is completely different from the bright chicken soup that Niu Haixi drank earlier.
Niu Haixi also felt a cramping pain in his stomach.
He didn't need to induce vomiting, he just retched.
Goo.
The chicken broth was still bubbling, overflowing from the bowl and covering the table.
The greasy soup seemed to have a will of its own, and it stretched out like a living thing, engulfing the entire table and falling to the ground.
Zhong Kui's eyes widened in the portrait.
Niu Haixi cheered up, took three steps and made two steps, bypassed the chicken soup and the dining table, threw himself to the ground, and grabbed the long sword on the ground.
He couldn't lift the sword up for the first time, and with all his strength, he tightened his grip on the sword and held it across his chest.
He looked intently at the dining table and the soup bowl, and saw something coming out of the soup bowl.
He waited with bated breath, completely unsure of what he was going to do next, when the contents of the soup bowl seemed to be pushed by some force and completely popped up.
That's a head, indeed.
It's still a pig's head.
The pig's head is like a balloon, and when it comes out of the soup bowl, it blows and swells.
The boiled pig came back to life, screaming and struggling.
Niu Haixi was so frightened that he could only stick his long sword to his chest.
He suddenly remembered the nanny security guard in the room, and simply shouted for help.
Will someone come in and save him?
Niu Haixi is not sure.
The door to the safe house is automatically locked from the inside, but it can also be opened from the outside with a key, which only Gu Tianshi has.
Niu Haixi thought of Gu Tianshi.
Gu Tianshi was useless anymore, and he had used this safe house to make money for many years, and his father had also used these two sets of things to earn enough money for the family. The father and son have experienced a lot of things, some of which are true and some are false, and the experience is absolutely sufficient.
Niu Haixi held the long sword and hurriedly ran to the door.
He opened the door and ran out.
Zhong Kui's portrait is obviously not enough.
I hope the sword in my arms will work.
Niu Haixi can only think like this.
He hadn't taken two steps before he heard movement behind him.
He glanced back, and saw that the pig had rushed out of the soup bowl, smashed the table, and ran at him with a hissing and howling as he stepped on the greasy soup on the ground.
Niu Haixi was frightened and hugged the long sword tighter.
"Mr. Niu?" The security guard rushed over and looked at Niu Haixi suspiciously.
"Help me! Find Gu Tianshi! Niu Haixi shouted.
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that the security guard didn't look right.
The security guard's expression was not the slightest problem, but when he came, his feet did not touch the ground, as if he was floating in the air. When he stopped, his feet were still shaking.
Niu Haixi looked at the top of the security guard's head.
There was nothing there, but Niu Haixi seemed to see an invisible hanging line.
The surname Gu is no longer good here.
Niu Haixi wanted to cry without tears, he didn't know what he had provoked, and he was so powerful.
He had no choice but to run away.
After that, find a way to find someone else for help......
Niu Haixi paused and remembered his mobile phone.
The sole of the pig's foot slipped and fell, but at this moment, he also chased after Niu Haixi.
The security guard stood in front of Niu Haixi.
Niu Haixi had no choice but to turn his heels and run to the kitchen next to him.
The babysitter had her back to him and was cooking something. She didn't seem to hear the slightest movement outside.
It wasn't until Niu Haixi came over that she turned around and let Niu Haixi see the soup pot in front of her and the pig's head in the stock pot.
"Mr. Niu, do you want a bowl of soup?" The babysitter asked.
Niu Haixi looked at the old aunt's kind smiling face, and just wanted to vomit.
When did he get hit?
Is there anything wrong with the food he ate today?
Niu Haixi didn't have time to think about it, turned his heel, and ran again.
He knew the topography of the house, and after going around it, he could walk through the small living room to the main entrance of the house.
As soon as he stepped into the small living room, he heard the sound of pigs crowing behind him.
Niu Haixi turned around in a panic and blocked the long sword in front of him.
He doesn't know how to dance a sword at all, he has never touched a sword in his life, some masters will use a peachwood sword, but he has not had a chance to learn, and he is not very accustomed to using this way of exorcism.
Niu Haixi is just using the sword as a stick at the moment to block the pounced pigs.
The sound of gold and iron exploded.
Niu Haixi fell directly backwards because of the impact force.
He saw the pig that had been split in two.
Two pork fans flew directly past him.
The sword he was trying to hold was horizontal, but the pig was cut vertically.
He saw clearly, this pig was not only cooked on the surface, but also cleaned inside, and there was no internal organs or blood at all, and the inside was clean.
Niu Haixi was a little confused.
He lay on his back on the ground, sat up hurriedly, and examined his body.
He was unharmed, and the long sword in his hand faded from the rune paper, revealing its full appearance.
The brilliance of the bronze long sword dimmed in an instant, and Niu Haixi just shook his hand, and the long sword turned into powder, occupying his whole body.
Niu Haixi was in a hurry, but he couldn't stop the long sword from weathering in a second.
He remembered the remains and relics of some archaeological stories in which the coffin was opened and destroyed.
Niu Haixi was full of pity, but more worried about his life.
The only treasure in his hand that could deal with that thing is gone, so what should he do next?
Niu Haixi looked up and saw that the two pork fans were still fluttering on the ground, and the security guard and nanny did not chase after them.
Niu Haixi got up cautiously and walked through the small living room, but did not see the security guard.
He was about to go out, but his hand was on the doorknob and he hesitated.
Outside the door is not necessarily a way out.
Niu Haixi looked back and saw that the two pork fans were gone, and the security guard and nanny were nowhere to be seen.
When he returned to the safe house, he found that the lights in the house had returned to normal, the chicken soup was gone, and the portraits of Zhong Kui in the room had returned to their original state.
Everything just now seems to be Niu Haixi's fantasy.
Niu Haixi clearly knew that that thing relied on people's fantasies to kill people.
He can not believe in those fantasies, but at most he pretends not to believe them, he has already fallen into the circle, he is fascinated, he wants to blindfold himself, when he doesn't see it, it is impossible. He could only fix that thing in a way that he approved of. It's about competing with that thing in the same field, or in the other person's area of expertise.
Niu Haixi looked at his phone.
He hesitated for a long time, picked up his mobile phone, and instead of looking for Gu Tianshi, he found the name of the housekeeper in the address book.
His relationship with the housekeeper was too complicated.
He was a little brother and hugged his thighs, so he should have asked his boss for help after the accident. But he knows his status, and he has no confidence in the so-called boss at all. If he finds it, he may not be blessed, but may be abandoned, and may even become a bargaining chip.
The butler, and the people behind the butler, were obviously collecting suitable ghosts for their own use, doing a business of making money and killing people, but the targets were all ordinary people. When they met a master, they broke a person, and they thought about avoiding it and looking for another place to open a store.
Niu Haixi is in trouble, and the housekeeper will definitely abandon him directly.
Niu Haixi's heart was bitter.
Even if he knew this, he would now have to turn to the other party for help.
Using illusions to kill people, that's what ghosts are best at, and it's the instinct of many ghosts.
Niu Haixi believes that among the ghosts under the housekeeper, there must be ghosts who are good at this ability, better than many people. Even the stewards themselves relied on this method to allow those demons to seize the bodies of the living and then encroach on their property.
Niu Haixi reviewed everyone in the address book and found that he was the only one who could respond immediately to the distress call.
I hope it will come to ......
For the sake of the two male students' affairs that haven't been resolved, I should be able to help, right?
Niu Haixi prayed and dialed the phone.
