Summer afternoon.

The cicadas chirp endlessly.

The streets were stuffy, and the clouds in the sky were thick, as if a rainstorm was coming.

Nineteen-year-old Wang Li walked briskly down the street, his back already soaked.

He walked with his head down, which made it doubtful that he could see the road ahead.

Suddenly, a pair of slender and smooth beautiful legs broke into his eyes...... As if frightened, he quickly turned his eyes away and stepped aside.

Whispering something that no one can hear: "I'm sorry......"

The owner of the beautiful legs did not blame him, but just moved out of the way a little, and left with confident and crisp steps.

Wang Li was silent for a moment, he was very envious of this confident footsteps.

But now he could only continue to move forward with small steps.

He had an important interview and was about to be late.

No, to be exact, you are doomed to be late if you go back the old way!

Suddenly, he stopped in front of an alley, his expression very hesitant.

He loosened his neckline and lifted his head slightly, his eyes already firm.

Then he didn't care about anything, and walked in with his feet up......

This is an alley where it is difficult for sunlight to shine in, and the walls on both sides of the alley are stubbornly growing with some shade-loving weeds.

The moment he stepped into the alley, he felt a cold wind blowing...... The sweat-soaked back just felt a chill.

"I'll cook a bowl of ginger soup when I go back."

Wang Li knew his physique well.

But it was expected by him, and he even knew that something worse was to come......

Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to feel a sense of gaze in this gloomy alley...... It was like an eye watching him in the shadows.

Wang Li suddenly discovered something as he walked through a crack in the wall......

He recoiled back to the crack in the wall, squinting inside......

The chaotic chirping of cicadas makes people feel inexplicably irritated.

Suddenly, a large eyeball suddenly appeared in the crack of the wall, as if a living human eye appeared on the wall!

Wang Li was taken aback, but not afraid.

He quickly calmed himself, then reached out and grabbed the large eyeball and pulled it off the wall...... This is not the guts of ordinary people.

He said, "Don't follow me, I'm not afraid of your ......"

He dropped his eyeballs on the ground and watched as calmly as he could.

The next moment, three legs suddenly grew from under the big eyeballs, and then quickly walked the three little short legs and disappeared in a smoke.

…… It's just a newborn spirit, and there will always be little ones in all corners of the city.

Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that his bad luck should also get better, right?

However, just as he was thinking this, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky......

"Boom!"

Thunder followed.

He secretly said that he was unlucky, and hurriedly accelerated his speed and ran forward......

But he was still a little slower, and the rain had already fallen in a dripping manner, and in a very short time it had turned into a downpour.

"You should bring an umbrella before you go out."

He sighed inwardly.

More often than not, frustration.

How can he go to the interview with the appearance of a chicken in the soup?

Do you want him to show the worst side in front of the interviewer?

Thunder roared, rain poured down, and the whole world seemed to turn a gray hue.

His pace slowed down, and there was a natural fear in his heart, and he wanted to just go home.

But just as he slowed down and was about to walk out of the alley, he saw two figures.

One is a man, who looks like an old homeless man, leaning against an illegal shack in an alley to hide from the rain...... And one more, not a person.

The torrential rain washed over the ground, making a 'whooshing' sound.

This made Wang Li's ears noisy, but he didn't seem to hear anything, only the noise from the sound of rain.

He looked intently at the figure across from the old tramp......

Is that...... A big spider?

A big spider one man tall!

The stiff black hair on the spider's legs didn't shake much even under the heavy rain, and the eight compound eyes on its head made the scalp tingle.

"Bang ~ "

The torrential rain was still washing over his body, and the last trace of heat in Wang Li's body seemed to be taken away by the rain.

Run!

He wanted to shout at the old tramp, but he found that his cowardly voice could not make a sound at all.

He watched as the great spider approached the homeless man...... Crawling slightly, it seems to be hunting!

Suddenly, a brick slammed into the head of the spider.

The big spider turned his head fiercely, and saw that Wang Li was about to throw another brick......

He shook his hand and ran.

His steps and breathing were a little messy, because he wasn't good at running, and he was actually flustered.

In fact, when he reacted, he didn't have the slightest confidence in whether he could run away.

Simply, he stopped and turned away.

He wanted to face the terrifying monster.

Surprisingly, there was nothing behind it!

"That person ......"

Wang Li suddenly realized something, and hurriedly ran back.

The exertion of his physical strength made his lungs feel like spasms, and what was really uncomfortable was the swelling of his head, a sign that his body was about to reach its limit...... It's not that I can't run, but my head can't bear it.

He hurriedly calmed down his fluctuating mood, and the headache was better.

When he returned to his original place, he was stunned by what he saw.

He saw that the big spider had had four of its legs removed, and its head had fallen to the ground!

And what about the homeless man?

He was crouching beside the big spider and slowly picking up something.

The rain is a little lighter.

At least not anymore with that obscuring all sounds.

The rain that dripped from the surrounding eaves emitted a series of 'ding dong dong', which was very pleasant to the ear.

The king came closer......

"Why are you back?"

The old tramp looked at him and asked curiously.

The aura is a little strong, that's not an ordinary person.

Wang Li was timid again, he lowered his head and hurriedly said, "It's okay if you're okay." ”

Then he didn't dare to look at the surprised eyes of the old tramp, turned his head and prepared to go back the way he came.

Anyway, the clothes are already soaked, and people will definitely be laughed at during the interview, so it is better to go back and change your clothes quickly to avoid catching a cold......

He thought to himself.

As soon as he came back to his senses, he saw that the old tramp had appeared in front of him...... When?!

He hurriedly stopped, trying to get around from a different angle.

"Wait."

He was stopped.

Obviously, he wanted to go home, but he obediently stopped.

"Although you have caused me a little more effort, you still ...... Thank you. ”

The old tramp said earnestly.

Wang Li lowered his head even more, he didn't know how to respond, so he could only say nothing in embarrassment.

Then the old tramp said, "I think you are going that way, but how can you go back?" ”

Wang Li breathed a sigh of relief, he could answer this question.

"I wanted to go and interview for a job, but it's rude to do that now," he said...... I had to go home. ”

The homeless man nodded noncommittally and said no more.

Seeing this, Wang Li thought that he had finished asking, and waited blankly for a while before turning around and leaving.

"Don't go."

The homeless man stopped him again.

Wang Li obediently stopped, but still did not speak, just waited.

The homeless man suddenly threw a metal button and came over: "This is for you." ”

Wang Li caught it in a hurry, he looked at it curiously, and at a glance he saw six small dots distributed in a hexagonal shape on the face of the button.

He looked up blankly.

Although the long bangs still almost covered his eyes, the delicate and somewhat sickly face was also clearly seen by the homeless man.

The homeless man didn't care what he looked like, he just said, "Look at this button." ”

Wang Li did so, and he didn't know what the meaning of it was.

The homeless man said, "Focus, focus all your attention." ”

This was a bit difficult for Wang Li, because his past experience meant that it would be difficult for him to fully concentrate on one thing, which would only make him feel painful.

So he could only scatter himself little by little, little by little, in the sound of the rain, in the attention gathered around him, and put it on that button......

The next moment, the button lit up dot by dot as if constipated.

The six dots on it all lit up, and then slowly more lines ran through them, and finally became a ...... Not a hexagon, but a hexagram!

The homeless man waited for seven or eight minutes, and when he saw this, he seemed to sigh with some disappointment, "Now, press this pattern on the corpse of the evil spider again." ”

Wang Li seemed to understand something, but his expression was still very calm, and he slowly tentatively reached out and pressed the button that lit up the six-pointed star towards the corpse of the big spider......

"Boom!"

In the next moment, a cluster of incandescent flames ignited the entire body of the great spider.

Even if it was still raining, it could not affect the momentum of this white fire in the slightest.

The old tramp had already said, "This is a spiritual fire, which ordinary people can't see, and it won't be extinguished by mortal water." ”

He wanted to see the shocked look on Wang Li's face......

In fact, he saw it, but the shock was fleeting, and then it was calm again.

"Looks like you've seen a lot of evil spirits?" The old man asked.

The rain stopped, and the cicadas around him rose again, which made Wang Li's mood a little better.

He said, "yes, you can't think of it as invisible." ”

The old man hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "In that case, I have a job as a 'cleaner' here, do you want to do it?" ”

Wang Li unexpectedly raised his head for the second time, he didn't expect to encounter such a turn.

The old man said, "I am very old, and I just want to find a young man to give me a hand...... Besides, you need a job too, don't you? ”

Wang Li lowered his head again, he looked at the six-pointed star button that was still in his hand, and then looked at the ground that was already empty......

Asked, "Cleaner, is it like that?" ”

The old man was surprised: "Although your qualifications are a little worse, you are more clever than I thought." ”

"Thank you...... Thanks for the compliment. ”

Wang Li bowed his head and thanked him.

The old man wondered...... Just now, was that a compliment?
