Chapter 68: The Living Dead

"Will there be a head-on fight?" Wang Qiyi climbed the stairs with the shell on his back, remembering the combat power that foreshadowed Xie Chonglou's instant killing in the dream, and suddenly became a little worried.

Then he remembered that there was an old bamboo tube on his back, which he could block when necessary, and he relaxed a little.

Xie Chonglou first glanced at no one in the corridor vigilantly, and then lowered his voice and said, "Generally, no, the Xuanmen fighting methods are more subtle." Unless the other party is cornered and wants to break the net, there will be a head-on conflict. ”

A thin black line like smoke and fog slowly flowed from Lin Muguang, who was sitting on the flower pond and counting money under Building 7, and entered into the corridor of Unit 2.

"What is this?" Wang Qiyi scratched curiously with his paws while climbing the stairs, and the thin line was not affected at all and slowly advanced, until he floated to the fifth floor, and entered room 501 through an old-fashioned wooden door.

"When the longevity deal is reached, the life span and luck energy of normal people will enter the ghost child's body along the silk shadow, and after it overflows, it will actively flow to the container set up by the black hand behind the scenes through the formation arranged in the room."

Xie Chonglou climbed the fifth floor effortlessly in one go, and he could even help carry Wang Qiyi to save his physical strength.

"So what?" Rao is someone helped, and it was still very difficult for Wang Ba of the Wishing Fountain to climb the fifth floor with a heavy shell on his back, and he stretched his neck and glanced at the corridor, and then pointed to the bottom of the door and asked.

At the entrance of room 501, there is a "threshold" of 30 centimeters high with red bricks, which is very abruptly blocking the wooden door.

"The houses in the city are not so particular, they are trying to find their own way to make up for it." Xie Chonglou seemed to have thought of it a long time ago, paused and looked at Wang Qiyi and explained seriously: "The threshold has many meanings in traditional culture, such as gathering qi to block evil. ”

"But since it can block the outside evil, it can naturally keep the things in the house from going out. A long time ago, the threshold of the mortuary was particularly high, and the main purpose was to prevent the zombies from running out after the corpse was transformed. The threshold of 501 is also to prevent the things in the house from slipping out. ”

Wang Qiyi shrank back suddenly, and asked, "What's in there?" ”

Immediately, he saw the black line that was continuously being fed in, and realized that those should be Lin Muguang's lifespan and luck energy, and his face changed slightly, "Muguang has opened so many envelopes, even if one is borrowed for three years, this will have to ...... How many years does she have to be robbed of her life? Can't interrupt? ”

"The lives and fortunes of the living dead dare to borrow, and it is this family that is unlucky." Xie Chonglou waved his hand to signal him to be calm, "Don't you know that Lin Muguang is not a living person?" ”

The news came too suddenly, Wang Qiyi's legs were weak, and he directly leaned Wang Bake'er against the wall and stood upright against the wall.

He remembered that Lin Muguang didn't need to sleep, remembered that her hands were still cold when she was soaking in warm water when she was helping her brush her shell, and her first impression of her, he didn't feel like a living person.

It turns out that it is really not alive!

In front of it, there was room 501, which was originally ordinary but had a strange feeling brought by the self-built threshold of red paper, and then there was the living dead that Xie Chonglou inadvertently mentioned, Wang Qiyi suddenly felt that it was cold in the corridor at noon.

He misses the comfort of basking in the sun in the wishing pool, the other side of the other world is really scary!

His teammates included bears, white tigers, rabbits and the living dead, he looked down at his snow-white belly armor, and silently added, there is also a big king!

"Let's see what they can't put out of their house first." Xie Chonglou didn't realize the strange appearance of Wang Ba's teammates, so he casually put the compass in his pocket and stepped forward to knock on the door.

The old lady had just returned home from handing out envelopes under the sun, and she was not even out of breath, when she heard the knock on the door, she thought that she had found a letter from her husband again, and opened the door with the raging momentum of a shrew quarreling and stood in the threshold, looked each other up and down vigilantly, and asked coldly, "Who are you?" What knock on the door at noon? Still don't let people rest? ”

"Do you want to rent out your house? I want to rent a house in a neighborhood. Xie Chonglou naturally glanced into the house, like a tenant checking the environment, his right hand on the door frame, some fine black powder spread from his palm into the house.

The fat old lady's expression immediately relaxed, and her triangular eyes rolled impatiently: "Are you looking for the wrong door?" Our house is not rented. ”

Since they moved over and had a dispute over the loan, many tenants in Building 7 have indeed moved, and it is normal for someone to come to see the house. As long as you don't come to the door to make trouble, otherwise with this young man's stocky physique, it is estimated that he will not be able to beat his whole family with a piece.

Xie Chonglou's thick eyebrows and big eyes are quite good at acting, and he asked with a sincere face: "Isn't this 501 in Unit 1 of Building 7?" I read the information on the Internet to rent this house. ”

"No, no, we're the second unit, and you're wrong." The fat old lady waved her hand to close the door and muttered, "Even the unit can be mistaken, it scares me a lot!" ”

She casually picked up the fan on the table and fanned it a few times, looking at the fast-burning incense sticks in the incense burner and smiling happily, "Burn, burn, burn, the more I burn, the more life my good grandson will borrow, the better luck." Master Kwong is really amazing, I have to come to the door to thank him for saying anything another day! ”

The black silk thread that Lin Muguang conveyed passed through the bedroom door and went straight into the body of the ghost child lying asleep on the bed.

Countless silk shadows spread out of his body that frantically absorbed energy, and his teeth and claws fluttered to wrap the emaciated child like a hairy sea urchin.

The black silk thread refracted from him and became a little lighter, burrowing into the sleeping thin old man beside him, and refracted again to become shallower, and disappeared into an earth-gray clay pot in the far corner of the bed.

"Found it." Lin Muguang sat on the flower pond and put away the money seriously, and looked up at the fifth floor suddenly, "It's so cautious, the energy collected is hidden here." ”

On the other side, Xie Chonglou, who was fiddling with the compass in the corridor, was also stunned, his face full of incredulity.

"Qiyi, you go downstairs to meet Mu Guang and give the captain a call." He thought for a moment and frowned and explained, "Either this family raised their own ghost fetus; Either the mastermind behind the scenes is too cautious. All the energy they collected from borrowing Shou was put into the columbarium nearby, and they asked the captain if he wanted to collect the net. ”

"If you directly collect the net and smash the urn, the borrowed energy can be returned directly, but if there is someone behind the scenes, you may have to escape."

The compass already shows the location of the columbarium, and now the 501 family can catch turtles in the urn at any time.

From taking over the case to solving it, every time it was discovered, it was very unexpected, and Xie Chonglou, who was experienced in handling cases, vaguely felt that something was wrong.

What's the problem?

He reviewed the entire short and less than two hours of the case, but found nothing unusual.

"I'm going to call!" Wang Qiyi didn't know the situation too clearly, but his teammates said so and hurried to ask the captain to be more reliable, and he shrank into Wang Ba's shell and rolled down the stairs.

Lin Muguang saw a black king roll out like a hot wheel, stretched out his leg and stumbled to make him stop, "Did Xie Chonglou find out that something was wrong, this family is very weird." ”

"Uh-huh, he told me to call the captain." Wang Qiyi took out his mobile phone from the old bamboo tube and dialed it directly.

Before the phone could be connected, I suddenly heard a heart-rending scream from upstairs, like the voice of a fat old lady.

"The life is really weak, and you dare to borrow anyone's life, a fool in the family." Lin Muguang fiddled with the thin black threads that emanated from his body, without any ups and downs in tone but seemed to be a little gloating, "Qiyi, there is a lot of excitement to see." ”
