In the malls that have closed, all the shops are closed, and some have even closed the roller shutters. Occasionally, the store is lit up with a decorative night light, and the faint light is a colorful decoration when the store is open, and after the store closes, it becomes a firefly in the quiet darkness, and at first glance, it is a little crazy.

The haunted house that had surrounded many people before suddenly turned on the lights, but it was not the kind of night light, but a bright incandescent lamp. Light peeks through the dark green windows, creating an eerie square projection in the mall corridor.

The butler in a suit sat at a small table with wine glasses and a lamp on the table, and the dim light of the lamp was not swallowed up by the light of the headlamp overhead, but was projected on the butler, casting a clear silhouette on the wall.

At this time, he didn't look like a housekeeper, but like an elite, mature and steady, with a flamboyant aura.

There were many dolls walking out of the haunted house, all with serious faces, looking up at the housekeeper.

The butler rubbed his glass, waited for a while, and then heard two knocks at the door.

He didn't move.

Own doll to open the door.

The thief they were chasing before walked in with a grin, ignored the dolls, and said to the housekeeper: "Oops, I didn't expect them to be so good that they didn't chase in." ”

The butler glanced at the thief.

A doll said angrily: "Xiong Rui! Who allowed you to do it on your own?! ”

The thief Xiong Rui looked down at the doll that was only up to his calf, and said with a smile: "I'm doing it for your good." Don't you want to get rid of this body quickly? As he spoke, he raised his foot and kicked the doll, kicking it backwards, rolling on the ground, and standing up a little embarrassed.

Not to be outdone, the doll burst into red light, jumped up to the height of Xiong Rui's head, and the seemingly weak little hand waved out a fist, but the fist instantly turned into a tiger head with a bloody mouth open, biting Xiong Rui's head.

Xiong Rui was not afraid at all, as soon as he raised his hand, he pinched the doll in the palm of his hand, and the phantom of the tiger's head was also crushed at the same time.

"Don't show this kind of thing in front of me, right? We are all the same. How else could I be afraid of such a thing? Xiong Rui still smiled, said easily, put the doll on the windowsill next to him, and patted its head hard, "Okay, okay, don't make trouble." ”

The other dolls were resentful, but they also knew that they couldn't deal with Xiong Rui when they swarmed up.

It's the physical gap.

Xiong Rui is not afraid of them at all, he knows them well, and with his adult male body, he can easily pack a pile of dolls like them.

There are those who are familiar with Xiong Rui, and they have no plans to do it from the beginning. After learning that Xiong Rui was lucky to be selected and had a chance to recover as an adult, they expected today's situation. The dolls were silent and looked at the butler.

The butler took a sip of wine, held the wine glass in the palm of his hand, and gently shook the wine in the glass, "I only let you investigate some targets, check whether they are suitable, understand their living habits, and interpersonal circles...... As I remember, I didn't let you make a claim and lead people into the store. ”

Xiong Rui dragged a chair, sat down facing the housekeeper, and crossed Erlang's legs, "I investigated." The ones you picked weren't good. Look at the guys I met today, young, rich, single, and they knew they were living alone. How appropriate! ”

Xiong Rui is a thief in front of him, has been a pickpocket, and has also burglarized, and has his own eye for people.

He squatted in the toilet and heard the movement of Han Hong and the others, and after a glance, he knew that among the men, only Qin Hongbin was married, his wife was still next to him, and the other three young men were all single, and there was a high probability that they lived alone and did not live with their parents. Looking at their dresses, he roughly estimated the net worth of several people.

As Xiong Rui said, all three of them are good target candidates.

It's just that this was all a temporary initiative for him, and he took action without consulting the housekeeper at all.

Xiong Rui looked at the housekeeper, although he had a smile on his face, his eyes were firm, and he was not affected by the housekeeper's attitude at all.

He is used to being free, but he also knows that it is good to enjoy the shade with his back against the tree. When he was a thief before his death, he also recognized his eldest brother, handed over protection money, and gave gifts to guests, which was no different from ordinary businessmen. After his death he threw himself into the church and was granted asylum. The church was swallowed up, and he didn't want to open another door. But even if he recognizes the eldest brother and finds a backer, he is not a person who obediently treats others as a younger brother, let alone a younger brother.

Xiong Rui leisurely waited for the butler to respond.

"You have a good eye. The mall was full of people, no one chose, but someone who could see us. The butler said.

Xiong Rui's relaxed expression was a little unbearable, he frowned and looked at the housekeeper, and quickly stretched his eyebrows.

He wasn't sure if the housekeeper was talking nonsense and deliberately deceiving himself.

"Of the three men, one has been through things, and the other should have some talent." The housekeeper said lightly.

The dolls suddenly exploded.

"That's a good thing, isn't it? Isn't that better? Such people are more susceptible to our influence. Xiong Rui reacted quickly and said immediately.

"It's also possible that such people will find someone to deal with us." The housekeeper said, glancing at Xiong Rui, "You don't have to worry about this matter anymore." I'll take care of it. ”

Xiong Rui's face darkened.

Unlike other dolls, he knew what the butler would do with it.

He is an old veteran in the church, and he knows that Song Ming's evil ghost.

If the housekeeper treats him as an eye, Song Ming is the knife in the butler's hand.

In the matter of Yaocheng, the housekeeper asked Song Ming to do the finishing work, and then moved with them.

Xiong Rui glanced at the housekeeper and thought in his heart, "Okay." This time I was reckless. I know. ”

He suppressed the urge to have a showdown with the butler, stood up, and patted his pants, "The ones you asked me to investigate, I will investigate." ”

As he spoke, he walked out.

The butler didn't stop him, drank the wine in his cup in one gulp, and put the cup down.

"That's it? We're exposed now! The doll who initially worked with Xiong Rui said unwillingly, "The people around us have an impression of us!" Are we going to move again? ”

The dolls were excited.

When they stayed in the church, they were trapped in a corner, and they were suffocated for so many years. I finally had the opportunity to regain my freedom, but I still had to hide, so I naturally had resentment. can turn into ghosts after death, of course, the character of these souls cannot be peaceful and calm, and all of them have anger. At this time, they looked at the butler with a look that was not right.

The housekeeper shook his head and said with a smile: "Xiong Rui is also kind, but he is too proud and impulsive." He's a capable man. After this time, he will be careful. ”

A look of gloom flashed across the baby's face.

Of course, it knows Xiong Rui's ability.

The lucky ones who can be selected by the housekeeper do not win the lottery by lot, but get the chance. They all have their own strengths and are assigned jobs by the housekeeper.

The dolls that remained in the store at this time were somewhat of a failure. Although they are the only ones in ten thousand who can turn into ghosts compared to most people, this is not because they have any talents in their lifetime. Compared with ruthless people like Xiong Rui and Song Ming, they were either ordinary people or had a skill that could not come in handy at this time.

No matter how unwilling they are, they can only accept the arrangement of the housekeeper.

And the arrangements that the housekeeper can make are also limited.

After he sent the dolls away, he sat down at the table alone, showing a somewhat solemn expression.

The matter of Yaocheng was a blow to him.

His prestige was questioned. Although he made the right choice, he can now suppress the ghosts that are still trapped in the doll's body, but he can no longer fully control the ghosts who have already gained the body. Especially a thorn like Xiong Rui is really troublesome.

The butler pondered, and his expression changed suddenly.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out a few business cards.

These are the business cards he just sent to Han Hong. It's just that as soon as he counts the number of business cards, he finds a problem.

Xiong Rui!

The housekeeper immediately thought of Xiong Rui.

That guy must have stolen his business card and stuffed it to some people!

It was too late for him to stop.

Raising his eyes to look at the interior of the haunted house, the butler's eyes flashed with a grim look.

※※※※※

Meng Sinan's message did not receive a reply.

At this point in time, Kong Dongmei may have fallen asleep.

Meng Sinan considered whether to call Kong Dongmei directly.

His fingers moved to the call button, and before he could press it, he heard the sound of water.

The sound of the water is like the shower head being opened, but the impact is not like the soft power of the shower.

Meng Sinan immediately thought of the news that the neighbor's aunt had told him.

He hurried to the toilet, turned on the light, and saw that the water pipe in the shower room was cracked, and there were clear cracks in the tiles.

The water squirted out, and after a while, it flooded the shower.

The crack in the water pipe is still growing.

It won't take long to rent a house that will definitely be flooded.

Meng Sinan had no choice but to hurriedly look for the sluice.

There are only water pipes in the cabinet under the sink, but no sluices.

He ran to the kitchen, opened all the cabinet doors, and finally found the sluice.

When the sluice gate is closed, the sound of water in the toilet gradually disappears.

Meng Sinan breathed a sigh of relief, so tired that he just wanted to sleep, and didn't want to care about the leakage anymore. But he can ignore the leakage, but he can't ignore the business card.

He walked out of the kitchen and wanted to call Kong Dongmei, but when he passed the toilet, he caught a glimpse of a large area of red.

Meng Sinan paused, turned around slowly, and looked at the toilet.

There was still water in the toilet, and the water was not clear, but it could not be said to be muddy.

The water was red.

Red, but not blood.

It's like there's a red light shining on the water.

Meng Sinan slowly raised his head and looked at the ceiling of the toilet.

The energy-saving lamps embedded in the ceiling are white.

The red light without a source shines on the stagnant water in the toilet, and as the stagnant water recedes, the brightness also decreases.

Meng Sinan stepped back, touched his mobile phone, and dialed out.

He glanced at the business card on the table.

The words on the business card have changed.

The original "...... waiting for your visit" has been changed to "Welcome!" ”。

Meng Sinan clenched his mobile phone, only to hear the sound of busyness. After a few seconds, the call automatically hung up.

Meng Sinan took a deep breath and had to find someone else in the address book.

The person he trusts the most is Zhang He, Zhang He has had an accident, and Kong Dongmei, who is in second place, does not answer the phone, at this point in time, only Wu Dao can respond to him immediately.

Wu Dao is really a little unreliable, but the response is really fast, just like a sincere customer service staff, but he can't solve the problem, and he is full of polite words, and his voice is very good.

Meng Sinan didn't ask Wu Dao to save him, but with a phone call, he could know if his communication with the outside world had been interrupted.

Calls are outgoing.

The stagnant water in the toilet receded, and there was a gurgling bubble sound in the sewer, the red light disappeared, and everything was normal in the toilet.

The call was quickly connected.

The phone can still be called!

Meng Sinan's heart was relieved.

"Mr. Meng!" In the evening, Wu Dao's voice was still enthusiastic, and he said with concern, "You called so late, is something wrong?" Just say something! I'll go to the soup to solve it for you! ”

Meng Sinan was speechless for a while, "I can't contact Kong Dongmei, who can you contact now?" I'm going to find someone right away. ”

Meng Sinan didn't trust Wu Dao's professional skills, but he had to admit that Wu Dao's drilling ability was very strong, and he could talk to anyone. Meng Sinan had heard that Wu Dao's mentorship was very remarkable, with this aura, Wu Dao got to know a lot of people, and when his master died, the original relationship was thin, but he could still talk to some masters, and he was well-informed, as if he knew everything. This is also the reason why Meng Sinan has not deleted Wu Dao. In contrast, although Kong Dongmei has good strength and is kind, she is also busy with affairs, and she must not be like Wu Dao, who can wait for Meng Sinan at any time twenty-four hours a day.

Wu Dao's answer really came quickly, as if without thinking, but it was the first piece of nonsense: "Dongmei can't be contacted?" I've heard she's been busy lately. You know that Niu Haixi, right? Looking for someone to save my life everywhere, I also found Dongmei. She may be busy with Niu Haixi's business. It seems to have something to do with the Yaocheng incident. ”

Meng Sinan felt a pang in his heart, worried that Kong Dongmei, like Zhang He, would fall into the affairs of Yaocheng and die as a result.

"If you want to find someone else, I'll get you right away. What happened to you? Did you encounter a lonely ghost, or did you encounter an evil ghost asking for your life? Or are you being targeted by someone? Wu Dao then returned to the topic and asked a few reliable questions.

Meng Sinan said: "I don't know what happened. Somewhat troublesome. I saw hallucinations. The other party opened a haunted house, at least two people, set up a game, and didn't know what to do. I rejected his business card, but it still showed up to me and left me in a hallucination. Probably a hallucination. Meng Sinan hesitated and said another possibility.

Whether it was a change in his surroundings or a hallucination was uncertain.

He hadn't seen anything other than the red light and the change in the text on his business card.

As he was thinking so, he heard footsteps outside the door.

The sound of footsteps came from outside the gate, and the person who came walked very hesitantly, cautiously, and also suppressed the footsteps to a minimum, but it still reached Meng Sinan's ears.

He keenly knew that this was not normal, and that it might be a trap.

Meng Sinan didn't move, just lowered his voice and told Wu Dao about the changes on his side.

Wu Dao did this anyway, he was not afraid at all, but he didn't take the job directly, and promised to help Meng Sinan find someone, let Meng Sinan be careful, and support him until he found reinforcements.

He didn't hang up the phone, just took another mobile phone and began to flip through the address book to make calls.

Meng Sinan could hear Wu Dao's movements.

He soon heard footsteps outside the door stop, and voices rang out.

The voice was muffled and indecent, but the voice was familiar to him.

This night, he couldn't help but listen to each other.

Meng Sinan was surprised, but still didn't open the door.

Then, Meng Sinan heard another familiar voice.

This time, the voice was very loud, and Meng Sinan heard it clearly.

"! What's going on?! Han Hong shouted in surprise, "Zhou Ping, you, what did you say?!" ”

Outside, Zhou Ping didn't know what to say, and Han Hong stopped screaming.

The conversation sounded normal, but Meng Sinan was not sure that there were really those two people outside, and he was not sure that this conversation was really said by those two people.

Wu Dao's phone calls were all connected, but when he told people about the situation here, he didn't get a positive answer. If nothing else, the distance alone is a problem.

Wu Dao gave Meng Sinan an an an idea, asked him to play his mobile phone, and he broadcast a spell to see if it had any effect.

Spells are not to be used indiscriminately.

Meng Sinan didn't dare to try casually, and gradually became anxious.

“…… If you want to know someone, hurry up! Han Hong suddenly shouted again, "Wait! Who are you talking about? Isn't that colleague of yours dead? ”

Meng Sinan was shocked, recalling Zhou Ping's strange performance at night, a little surprised, and a little surprised.

Zhou Ping, like him, has that kind of weird experience that is difficult to talk about to people?
