Chapter Forty-Eight: Please Close Your Eyes When It's Dark
Robert Novak was in a state of overwhelm.
He's an expatriate correspondent for OK magazine, and his boss tells him that the famous murderous mansion in Venice Beach is about to have its third owner, who is said to be a wizard, and sends him to collect material - meaning that he may not be able to use it, so he has to run errands.
He knew what his boss meant.
Two months ago, this old pervert asked himself to pose for his bed partner, but after he found more valuable news clues and made the woman wait all morning, the old thing began to suppress himself, and sent himself all kinds of dirty work and clues that were destined not to appear in the magazine.
Robert admits that he came out with a rage and intends to expose the tricks of this wizard. When he saw a few people from the Sky Garden Design Company moving forward, he took the lead with the photographer, intending to scare the other party with the microphone first, and the photographer captured the other party's frightened expression, and he added a mark such as "This is the wizard", and the job was over today.
But he didn't expect to be beaten!
Even he didn't react to what was going on until now, he only remembered that he rushed up from a blind spot that the other party couldn't see, just stretched out the microphone, and then his stomach hurt sharply, and the person fell down, and he couldn't care about when the microphone flew away.
Lao Qin was also a little overwhelmed at this time.
He reacted to what was happening, there were so many witnesses around, and he didn't have to be afraid of the humanoid creature curled up in a ball touching porcelain, mainly because he had never used martial arts to beat people, and he didn't know if there would be too tragic consequences for him to cross plough his hands.
In fact, Mr. Reporter was unlucky and lucky.
He deserves to be unlucky, after all, if he doesn't carry out a surprise attack, he will definitely not be beaten;
Said lucky and lucky, he held the microphone and rushed up to shine on Lao Qin's face, that posture is eight points similar to the system simulation of the gorilla pushing people, if Qin Zhan's actual combat experience is not zero, completely according to the system demonstration of the style of play to fight back, then Robert is afraid that it will not be just a stomachache.
Anyway, looking at the photographer who was still stunned and instinctively pressed the shutter, as well as a group of melon-eating people who could stuff watermelons in their mouths, Lao Qin decided to see if this thing was dead first.
"How are you feeling, do you need to go to the hospital?" he asked, holding his arm slightly.
Mr. Reporter eased up a little, at least his stomach didn't hurt so much, and he stood up with Lao Qin's support, still hunched over his waist and pale, and reluctantly replied: "It's better than just now, man, seriously, you almost killed me." β
"Uh, I'm sorry, you rushed over all of a sudden, I couldn't control my body's conditioned reflexes. Qin Zhan said.
"Hey, you're a reporter for OK magazine?" Steven's group finally closed their mouths, and one of them spoke.
He turned to the melon-eating crowd around him: "We all saw it, it was this gentleman you attacked first, he was just forced to fight back, are you right?"
Everyone nodded.
Today's melon is too fragrant, first "boom boom" came a big truck and a crane, and the head led the way with a few small cars, at that time everyone just looked at it, and found that the car was parked at the door of the house occupied by the devil before they went out to watch.
It is said that a wizard from the East bought this house and is going to exorcise the demon today! This must be seen, whether the wizard is killed by the demon or he is lucky enough to exorcise the demon, there will be no worries about talking about it for the next few months.
Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected surprise, not only did the magazine reporter come to the scene, but he also planned to sneak attack the wizard, but he was instantly knocked to the ground, this reversal came too suddenly, so that everyone only chewed the melon in their mouths now.
Seeing that the witnesses around him agreed with his account, the man smiled triumphantly, and he spread his hands at the reporter who was in a cold sweat, and said, "You have seen it all? I am the lawyer of the Hanging Garden, and if you want to blackmail this gentleman, we will tell the police the truth." β
Robert Novak shook his head repeatedly, indicating that he didn't mean itβeven if it had just happened, with the lawyer and so many witnesses present, and his colleague taking pictures of the whole process, he would have forgotten about it. After all, intentional injury and extortion are both criminal crimes, and he doesn't want to be fired by his boss.
Qin Zhan was still not at ease, and asked the system in his mind: "Can you scan this guy?"
"The host can use the scanning function during the completion of the 'take-in' task. After the system said, a green light that no one else could see swept over the reporter, which made the heart of this thing balance a lot: finally it is no longer Lao Tzu alone with a green light on his head!
"After the scan was completed, the opponent's abdomen was hit, and he has basically recovered without sequelae. β
Lao Qin breathed a sigh of relief, just be fine. Although this guy is hateful, his sin is not unto death, and now he who is not injured or crippled should be taught a lesson.
Seeing that this guy's face was almost restored and his waist was straightened, he let go of the reporter, stretched out his hand to the person who spoke for him, and said, "Thank you, man, I'm Qin Zhan, you can call me Qin." β
The other party held it and smiled: "You're welcome, you're cool." My name is James Parker, lawyer. β
As he spoke, he handed over a business card, waited for Lao Qin to take it with both hands, and said, "Qin, did you use karate just now?"
"No, I use a Chinese martial art called Wing Chun. Qin Zhan replied.
"Ada~~"
The lawyer suddenly assumed a classic pose and asked excitedly, "Is this it?" I remember that Bruce Lee learned this. β
Lao Qin Xindao There is also Bruce Lee in this world, and I can't see that this product is still a martial arts enthusiast: "Almost, Bruce Lee studied Wing Chun before, and later he founded Jeet Kune Do." β
James wanted to say something, but was pulled aside by the designer, Steven is a senior melon lover, and this melon is the most delicious he eats today, after all, part of this melon was created by him.
The two sides shook hands, and the gossip man introduced several people around him one by one, including the boss of his design company, the decoration engineer, the executive director of Hanhan's company, and a bank, which should be the director of the father-to-be. Lao Qin was too lazy to memorize the names of this group of people, he couldn't memorize the surnames of hundreds of families, and he couldn't remember so many words from foreigners.
"Ha! Qin, I just knew that you also knew Huaxia martial arts, you know, you were cool just now, I didn't see how you did it at all. Steven said.
Qin Zhan shrugged his shoulders, he had scanned these few, and he didn't plan to tell them fortunes again, master, only by maintaining a sense of mystery can he cheat and cheat, and he can still be called a master if he is as conscientious as a social animal? However, when he swept to the engineer, he paused, hesitated for a moment and beckoned him to come over. 361 Reading .361ds.
"Who, well, I don't want to say, but you'd better go to the hospital for a brain test as soon as possible. β
The engineer was not actually a member of this feudal superstitious group, he was only here to direct the construction today, and he was a little displeased when he heard that the wizard had asked him to go to the hospital, and said, "Sir, I am responsible for the renovation of the house according to your and Steven's requests, and thank you for your concern for my body." β
Lao Qin touched his nose, have we been rejected? Forget it, good words are hard to persuade damn ghosts, do you like to go, whether you die or not has a dime to do with me?
Before he could find a step, the boss of the design company quit first: "Hey, you guy, Qin tells you to go, you can go, and you can leave after directing them in a while, and I will pay you your salary as usual." β
After speaking, he turned his head and smiled, and said, "Mr. Qin, don't mind, he just wants to finish the job, that ...... Can you tell him what's wrong?"
Lao Qin has a very good impression of this guy, although he still can't remember what his name is, but he can tolerate Steven, a gossip man, and he is also quite concerned about the health of his subordinates, and he doesn't have the superiority of "I'm the boss and I'm the most dick", how to say it, it's quite humane.
So he decided to give the other party a face: "He has a brain tumor, the specific location is between the brain and the cerebellum, very small, let the hospital check carefully." β
The boss wondered, he was a superstitious person, but like most people in this group, he always thought that wizarding was an ancient profession, shouldn't he bleed that guy or make soup with strange bugs and roots?
And, if what Qin said was true, then what should he do next? Let his friend, who is still a brain tumor patient, continue to stay in command? This is too inhumane. But if he goes to the hospital now, what will happen to Qin's house? Will Qin be unhappy if he sends another engineer over?
Fortunately, the engineer is a staunch materialist warrior, and he doesn't believe in Lao Qin's set at all, and when he saw that the boss was embarrassed, he took the initiative to say: "I will go to the hospital for a checkup, but I have to finish the work first, Qin said, it's very small, isn't it?"
Lao Qin is too lazy to take care of it, he is kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, you can go when you want, we can't care if you don't go, you are not my son, I will care if you die.
At the moment, he pointed his fingers, let the crane stand the iron fence on the side facing the pier, and Shi Shiran opened the courtyard door and walked in amid the exclamations of everyone.
Huh, who's pulling my clothes?
He turned his head and found Steven following him excitedly, and wondered, "What are you doing here?"
"Qin, I want to follow you, the last experience was so exciting, I want to experience it again, it will bring me endless design inspiration!" The gossip man circled around him, although his legs were still shaking.
Lao Qin Xin said that what can you see when you block such a fence? And it's a pity that you don't work as a lawyer, don't forget to find reasons for yourself at any time, and design inspiration, are you a professional designer of haunted houses?
At this time, I saw Steven's boss, his humble boss, the lawyer, and the bank director also probing their brains at the door, eager to try, and even the reporter who was beaten hesitated to open his mouth.
Eagle Sauce's reporters are not very restrictive, but they stop at private residences. Taking pictures from a nearby high-rise building to a target location is already the biggest margin ball allowed by law, and if you dare to enter without invitation, no one cares if you are shot and killed.
In the early years, a reporter in the capital did this, it is said that the old Guo family's house occupies green space, the reporter without the consent of the owner, push the door and go in to interview, people asked him who allowed you to come in, and he also said that this is the right of reporters. As a result, he was slapped by his apprentice, and immediately went to the hospital to check his injuries, and he kept retching when he came out.
- Retching is one of the symptoms of a mild concussion, but the existing medical equipment cannot objectively determine it, so he pretended to show it to the doctor, and if the doctor determined that the person who hit the person would constitute a slight injury or a minor injury, which was obviously intended to put the person to death.
Well, the topic has gone off the rails again.
The feudal superstitious group headed by the gossip man, as well as the reporter, these people are typical people who don't shed tears when they don't see the coffin, why can they still die if they know that the cat has nine lives?
"Steven, and a few of you, are you sure you want to come in and have a look?" he asked with a smile.
"Provided, of course, that I follow you. "This is the gossip man.
"We, hehe, just want to feel it, you know, this kind of place we don't usually dare to come to, Steven said that with you, we won't be hurt, so ......" This is the gossip man his boss.
"Sir, I would like to try it if you allow it. "This is the hapless kid who was beaten.
What else is there to say about this?
Master Qin had a fascinated smile on his face, and immediately asked the engineer to remove the fence, ignoring the 100,000 whys of the gossip man. Seeing this, the boss of the gossip man took the opportunity to send the engineer to the hospital for examination, and notified the company to send another one, the sky garden is not far from the forest house, and it will take less than half an hour to get here.
The reporter hesitated.
He wanted to debunk the wizard, partly because he had been beaten, and partly because he didn't believe in these things at all, and planned to write an article based on the gimmick of entering the murderous house. In this case, it is important to experience it firsthand, but the wizard's diagnosis of the engineer is also important, and he is reluctant to give up on either end. In the end, he decided to stay and sent his colleagues to the hospital with the engineer.
Master Qin looked up at the sky, fortunately, there was no sign of rain. The system said that the things under the house would lead to lightning, and the ability to cause people to hallucinate would increase dramatically when lightning passed, and if it was cloudy now, he really didn't dare to let these few curious people go in.
At this time, the iron fence was removed, and Lao Qin said to the few warriors in front of him who were shaking their legs: "Are you sure you want to go in with me?" Steven knows my habits, I will lock the door after entering, no one will want to go out within ten minutes, and it is still too late to exit. β
Despite the flickering eyes and spring-like legs, the feudal superstitious groups and reporters still nodded firmly, unconsciously holding each other's arms, as if this could convey courage to each other.
Master Qin turned around and opened the door, then stretched out his hand and said, "Warriors, please." Oh yes, you, that's right, from the Forest House, right? Put the gun out. I don't want any of you to be killed by stray bullets or you kill yourself in my house. β
Reporters and feudal superstitious groups glared at their humble bosses without even thinking about it: What are you secretly bringing a gun for? Even if you have a concealed gun license, where is this place that you don't have any points in your heart? The previous owner of this house committed suicide by swallowing a gun, why do you dare to bring a gun and want to kill everyone?
The goods also listened to Lao Qin's words before he reacted that he had a gun with him, while marveling that the wizard really knew everything, he took off the gun on his belt and handed it to Lao Qin, and when he saw him roll his eyes, he came to his senses, and looked left and right and simply put it on the floor at the door - Eagle Sauce is a country where guns are legal, but it is strictly forbidden to lend guns, Lao Qin really wants to take it, in case this shot kills someone, he can't explain it.
Master Qin stood at the door, patted these unlucky children on the shoulders one by one, and finally walked in himself and locked the door, only then did he open his arms and said with a smile:
"Welcome to the feast of horrors, and now, close your eyes when it's dark!"
