Chapter 364: Gambling on Life

The call does not go through, and the busy tone lasts until the call automatically hangs up.

Niu Haixi dialed the phone again without giving up, feeling very anxious.

This phone call lasted more than ten seconds, and it didn't matter in normal times, but at the moment of life and death, Niu Haixi was afraid that something would happen in these ten seconds.

The second call still hasn't been made.

Niu Haixi looked at the phone screen, not knowing if the problem was on him or the housekeeper.

Was it that thing that cut off his communication with the outside world, or did the butler realize that he was in trouble and actively refused to contact him?

Niu Haixi was bored and frightened, and hurriedly found Gu Tianshi's contact information in the address book.

The phone went out, and after a few rings, it was connected.

Niu Haixi sighed in his heart.

"Ah Niu, how are you?" Gu Tianshi's tone was calm, and after greeting him, he didn't ask more.

Niu Haixi thought about the bronze ancient sword that was so destroyed that there was no scum left, and said stubbornly: "Your safe house is broken!" I almost died. The security guards and babysitters you arranged are also gone......"

"What?!" Gu Tianshi shouted a broken note, and the last note disappeared into his throat again.

After that, there was a few seconds of silence.

"Is there anything else you can do? Money is not an issue. You can introduce other people. You're in a hurry! I don't have to...... You won't be able to escape the next ......."

When Niu Haixi said this, his fear turned into helplessness.

Deflated, he sat on the ground and pulled his hair hard, "...... If I had known this, I would have washed my hands earlier...... Hey, you can't even think about washing your hands. ”

His self-deprecating words surprised Gu Tianshi.

Gu Tianshi had never heard of him having the idea of washing his hands in a golden basin.

At this time, Niu Haixi did not dare to mention the church and the housekeeper.

At this point, he didn't know what he had provoked.

He didn't suspect the butler.

He runs errands for the housekeeper and is a small role of insignificance. It is possible that the police will pay attention to him, and it is impossible for cultivators, insiders, or victims whose families have been ruined by the housekeeper and his ghosts to target him.

Niu Haixi was annoyed.

After sorting out what he had done during this time, he suspected that he had done the intermediary business he had done a few times before.

Especially the few orders he introduced to Zhang He.

Zhang He is an insider he has identified and has had an accident.

The one who is most likely to affect him is Zhang He.

Even so, he didn't dare to come to the door and inquire about Zhang He's affairs in detail.

He knew very well that the rule of their circle was that the more they knew, the faster they died.

After all, they have come into contact with too many madmen, and madmen are unreasonable, and if they meet their eyes, they may cause death.

"It must be ......" The more Niu Haixi thought about it, the more unwilling he became, but when it came to his mouth, he swallowed it because of reason.

Gu Tianshi chuckled in his heart, wanting to hang up the phone and not hear anything that he shouldn't hear.

Niu Haixi stopped in time, which made Gu Tianshi's heart feel relieved.

It's good that Niu Haixi didn't give up on himself.

Gu Tianshi wanted to appease Niu Haixi, don't let Niu Haixi's dog jump off the wall in a hurry, go crazy and bite people.

"If the safe house doesn't work, I don't have a good deal. You know me...... What's wrong with those portraits? Gu Tianshi's words changed, as if he was concerned about Niu Haixi.

He had a heart, but he didn't dare to rush to the safe house to inspect the situation.

He was still in pain, for fear that the treasure he had made money would be ruined.

Niu Haixi looked at the portrait of Zhong Kui in the room, "No, the painting has been moved, and it's okay." ”

Niu Haixi carefully observed those paintings, and his heart was a little relieved.

Without the bronze ancient sword, and with so many portraits of Zhong Kui suppressed, he should not have to worry about his life for the time being.

Gu Tianshi was very confident in the bronze ancient sword, and when he heard Zhong Kui's portrait, he didn't ask much about the situation of the bronze ancient sword.

"Then you can stay there first. I'll find you someone to inquire. You have a lot of ways to go, so think of a way. Gu Tianshi didn't urge, he said this in a worried tone, which was not offensive.

However, Niu Haixi is not an ordinary person. The implied meaning of Gu Tianshi's words, he couldn't have known it too well.

If you can't solve the trouble, it's better to get rid of it as soon as possible.

If he didn't dare to come over, Gu Tianshi would definitely come to check the condition of the safe house in person, and then drive Niu Haixi away, and then ask someone to do a ritual, clean up the safe house, make up a story, and blur Niu Haixi's incident this time, and then he could continue to do his business.

It's not that Niu Haixi hasn't heard of Gu Tianshi's small methods, it's just that Gu Tianshi's safe house is indeed very reliable, enough to withstand most of the ghosts and evil people, so he wants to live here temporarily, and when it is safe, find a truly reliable master to solve his troubles.

Niu Haixi knows better that his biggest trouble at present is not life and death, but that he has no money.

He has savings, but those savings are not enough for him to invite the real masters out of the mountain; He also has connections, but the quality of his connections is uneven, and it is difficult to find particularly reliable masters.

Niu Haixi smiled bitterly.

He has been mixed up for so long, and he has always been a marginal person in the circle.

If Zhang He was still there, he might still be able to turn to Zhang He for help.

No, if Zhang He was still here, maybe he wouldn't have encountered this kind of trouble at all.

Niu Haixi's expression kept changing.

He sent Gu Tianshi away, hung up the phone, and looked at Zhang He's name in the address book, his eyes were inexplicable.

Zhang He is a person with real skills, and he is also reliable in speaking.

His strength may not be as high as some people boast of, and he has not reached the point of a true master, but strength is strength, and he is much more powerful than a liar.

Niu Haixi thought about it and decided to believe Zhang He.

He only had one chance.

He put away his mobile phone, simply rolled up the portrait of Zhong Kui in the safe house, and walked out.

He was going to die, and he didn't have to worry about offending Gu Tianshi.

No matter how capable Gu Tianshi is, he is only richer than him, and he knows some rich customers more than him.

Besides, after the destruction of the bronze ancient sword, he and Gu Tianshi had already formed a mortal enmity, and if this hatred was added to another layer, Gu Tianshi would not be able to use more means.

He knew better the temperament of Gu Tianshi's kind of person. Gu Tianshi didn't have these two treasures that were enough to be heirlooms, but he still had enough money and the treasures he had picked up over the years, he would not break the net with the mermaid. Gu Tianshi was angry again, and at most he asked someone to curse him.

Niu Haixi thinks about being targeted by that kind of thing, he is really going to die, and he can't die well, what kind of curse are he afraid of?

Niu Haixi thought about a lot of possibilities and made up his mind.

Since he can enter the industry, he can still live well until now, and make money, which is enough to prove his ability.

Regardless of his ability, this is his reliance, which allows him to face many dangers with confidence.

When he opened the door, he was full of confidence and courage.

It's a little ridiculous to say, but Niu Haixi does look like a warrior at this time, and he has the determination to become a benevolent if he doesn't succeed.

Gu Tianshi's property is located in a small county town next to Yaocheng, which is a three-hour drive from the center of Yaocheng. The house is a duplex villa, built in the countryside, with few neighbors around, very quiet. Such a small number of people is also a safety measure. Anyone who approaches here, if not 100 percent, at least 90 percent likely is ill-intentioned.

Niu Haixi found Gu Tianshi, in addition to taking a fancy to the safe house, in addition to Gu Tianshi taking care of him, but also because this location was suitable.

It is impossible for him to leave Yaocheng by plane or high-speed train. Getting into that kind of transportation is equivalent to going to prison, he can't move freely, and what wants to kill him is the key to enter the prison. When the time comes, it will be the turtle in the urn.

Gu Tianshi's place is more suitable.

It's accessible by car and doesn't have to take the highway.

When encountering anything, Niu Haixi can leave and find a way to get out of trouble.

Niu Haixi went out the door and went straight to the garage.

He rented a car when he was in Yaocheng, and he still rented a car for a long time, so he didn't have to worry about the car rental company urging him for the time being.

There is enough gasoline in the car.

Niu Haixi just glanced at it and started the car.

The car drove out of the garage and after driving some distance before I saw other houses in the village.

The village has long since become sparsely populated due to the loss of young people.

It is said that there were still some old people and left-behind children living here in the first two years, and as Gu Tianshi made more and more money, those people were also sent away by him.

Niu Haixi paid attention to his surroundings.

If he sees someone, he has to be careful.

He was so worried when he saw a figure walking in the distance.

He slammed on the brakes, his face turning pale.

The appearance of the people walking around is very strange, swaying, as if the steps are unsteady.

He got a little closer, and Niu Haixi recognized that the other party was the security guard hired by Gu Tianshi.

The security guard took a few more steps, raised his hand to cover his abdomen, and raised his other hand, as if beckoning to Niu Haixi.

How dare Niu Haixi approach?

But the only way out of here is this, and if you turn around, you have to drive longer and you have to take the highway to get to the next city.

Niu Haixi thought of his plan, touched the portrait of Zhong Kui on the passenger seat, shook them all away, and spread them in the car.

He gritted his teeth and stepped on the gas.

The speed of the car soared.

Niu Haixi didn't squint and sped past the security guard.

He didn't want to see it, but he still saw the security guard.

The security guard had wounds on his chest and abdomen, and the blood seeped through his clothes, but it didn't stain his whole body, and the injuries didn't seem to be particularly serious.

Niu Haixi was thinking like this, when he saw another figure.

This time the figure lay on the ground, broken in two.

Niu Haixi couldn't see the blood-stained face clearly, but the size and dress reminded him of the nanny aunt.

He didn't have time to react, and the car rolled over directly.

The small bump in the vehicle made Niu Haixi's body jump in the car.

He held the steering wheel tightly, not daring to let go or let go of the accelerator.

The speed of the car is constantly rising.

Niu Haixi had never driven the car so fast.

His heart was beating wildly, and the sweat on his forehead fell onto his eyelashes, blurring his vision.

He seemed to see the reflection of the windshield and something strange in the rearview mirror.

He blinked, letting the sweat fall, and stared intently.

I saw that the car was crowded with people.

In the passenger seat and in the back seat of the car sat similar-looking burly men, their dark skin, eyes like brass bells, full beards and black hair on their heads, making them look mighty and terrifying.

Niu Haixi's hand shook, the steering wheel turned, and the car almost hit the fence on the side of the road.

The wall had long been dilapidated, and it had been grazed by the front of the car and collapsed.

Niu Haixi tried to stabilize the car, and wanted to stop the car, but saw those Zhong Kui stretch out his hand and grab the steering wheel.

His feet were also trampled on and he couldn't move.

The car continued to drive wildly, entering a dead end, and crashed headlong into the hut in front of it.

With a bang, the house collapsed and the bricks and rubble buried the car.

Niu Haixi was hit by an airbag in the face, and his head was groggy.

He saw the light in his confusion.

The dim light illuminated the small room, as well as the torture instruments and photographs on the walls and tables.

Niu Haixi felt bad, but his brain was dull and couldn't figure out what was wrong.

He felt several hands grab him and throw him to the ground.

A man walked up to him.

The man had ordinary facial features and was featureless.

He didn't know the man at all.

He turned his head, trying to get a good look at the pictures around him.

He recognized some of the people in the photos, and his brain was slightly clear.

"Yes...... It's ......" Niu Haixi wanted to say a name, but was obtuse to find that he didn't know the other party's name at all.

He didn't even know the other person's name.

thought that his status was too low, and the other party disdained to introduce himself, but now he suddenly understands that it was deliberately done by the other party.

Even pseudonyms are risky for people like them.

Names can kill.

Names can also be a source of hatred.

If he didn't know his name, even if he was extremely angry when he died, he might not be able to turn into a ghost and take revenge on the other party.

He suddenly remembered his previous job.

The Weibo account called Strange Stories, and the series of accidents related to "Li Yun......

The address of the person who registered the account......

Niu Haixi saw the ordinary-looking man shove a knife into his hand.

He suddenly understood what was going on.

He was taken up again and held aloft.

He had a rope around his neck.

He still had a knife in his hand.

Hold your hand and let it go.

Niu Haixi's body fell, and as soon as his hand was released, the sound of the knife falling to the ground covered up the sound of the painting scroll falling to the ground, and also covered his whimper.

He only twitched a few times, and then he didn't move.

Song Ming took out his mobile phone and made a call as he walked out.

"That's it." He said straight to the point, his tone impatient, "Have you found a new place?" ”

"Don't worry, soon you'll be able to continue killing." The butler said unhurriedly.

Song Ming exhaled heavily, suppressing the impulse in his heart.

Hanging a cow Haixi can't calm his heart at all.

He wanted to kill, he wanted to slice people open, to see their fears, their struggles, and the blood that flowed from their bodies.

He was a sick man, not lightly ill, and he knew that when he was very young.

He tried to save himself.

Only by killing can he be saved.

Song Ming thinks so.

Listening to the butler's arrangement, he breathed a sigh of relief and transformed his irritability into anticipation.

He hadn't gone far from his rented house when he saw a police car.

The police car drove towards the room he rented and stopped downstairs in the rental house.

Song Ming sneered and spat on the ground.

But after a few decades of hard work, this world has become so troublesome.

Thinking about him before, why is it so troublesome to kill people?

Song Ming glanced at the cameras lined up at the intersection and cursed resentfully in his heart.

On the other side, the police, who knocked on the door to no avail, broke open the door of the rented house.

The murder weapon in the room, the pictures of the victims on the walls, and the strange pictures on the ground all made the police sure they were not in the wrong place. They searched vigilantly, but found no one in the room.

When Captain Huang and Officer Qian entered the room, they both learned the news, and they also saw the rope hanging from the chandelier of the house and the chair that fell to the ground below.

Both of them thought of the plot of the murderer's suicide in fear of crime, and this scene is also very consistent with the situation of suicide in fear of crime, but the most critical thing is missing in this room.

"Check the people who come in and out." Captain Huang gave the order.

Officer Qian looked up and stared at the rope and noose for a long time.

He subconsciously thought that there was originally a person hanging there, and that person did not escape after breaking free, nor was he taken away.

The man was gone.

He will definitely reappear, but they may not be able to catch him.
