“Pah, pah, pah!”
My hands banged frantically and forcefully on the bus door.
The middle-aged driver probably thought I was a lunatic and stared at me with disgust.
He pointed the ham board in his hand at me through the transparent car window and shouted angrily: "Boy, stop taking pictures. If you do, I will call the police. Drive your car away quickly and don't block the road. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
The passengers in the car also stared at me strangely, obviously thinking I was a person with violent tendencies.
Some people took out their cell phones and took photos, while others made phone calls, needless to say, to call the police.
Seeing this, I became more and more panicked.
I begged, "Uncle, please help me, I have no ill intentions, I am just looking for someone. I will not hurt you, really, you have to believe me. My friend is missing, and may be in your car..."
I spoke earnestly for a long time.
I stopped knocking on the bus door and stared at the middle-aged driver earnestly.
The attitudes of middle-aged drivers have also softened.
After a while, he looked at the passengers in the car, and then he pressed the door open button.
With a "whoosh!", the bus door opened.
I grabbed the handrail in front of the door and jumped onto the bus in one step.
I sensed the location of the tracking symbol and looked around the bus anxiously.
I didn't even know it, but at this moment, my eyes had turned blood red, filled with bloodshot, and I looked like a wild beast.
The middle-aged driver stared at me warily, holding the ham board tightly in his hand.
I believe that if I had done something radical and attacked the passengers in those cars, he would not hesitate to swing the ham board in his hand and hit me hard. Of course, I am not crazy, I am here to find someone, so I will not do that.
I swallowed and slowly walked towards the inside of the bus.
The passengers who saw me subconsciously dodged to the side and didn't dare to stare at me.
Maybe I have become an alien in their eyes.
But I didn't care, I knew in my heart that finding Sun Xiaoli was the most important thing.
However, I walked from the front to the back of the car and looked at every seat, but I did not see Sun Xiaoli.
Under a car seat, I found the crumpled tracking charm.
Damn it, Sun Xiaoli wasn't on the bus, but the tracking talisman was left here. I was obviously fooled by that "Snow in July". This was obviously a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain.
My face became increasingly gloomy.
The middle-aged driver saw me standing there in a daze, staring at the yellow paper in my hand, and he asked me in a hoarse voice: "Boy, have you found the person you are looking for? If you have, get off the car quickly. Otherwise..."
The passengers around me also stared at me with disgust.
I glanced at the middle-aged driver and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, uncle. I was reckless. The person I'm looking for is not in the car."
"Not in the car? ... ... Are you fucking kidding me, kid?"
The middle-aged driver's eyes were wide open with anger, as if flames would burst out at any time.
I took a long breath, calmed down, and then raised my head to the passengers around me, bowed, and said, "Everyone, I'm sorry, the person I'm looking for is not on the bus. I was wrong just now, and I almost endangered everyone's safety. I hope you don't mind."
After saying that, I walked towards the car door.
When I got off the bus, the middle-aged driver was still cursing and calling me a psychopath. I didn't pay attention to it, after all, I had indeed gone too far.
I got into my car and quickly made way for the No. 13 bus to pass.
The bus drove away quickly, and in the distance, a police car drove over.
I was afraid of being harassed by the police, so I drove away
, turned and headed towards the previous Line 13 platform.
Since Sun Xiaoli was not on this bus, it means that Sun Xiaoli was taken away from the No. 13 bus stop on Kunyang Street earlier.
As the car sped along the road, I took out the jade compass and burned the yellow paper with Sun Xiaoli's birth date and a lock of her hair into ashes.
After the smoke slowly dissipated, I poured the ashes directly onto the jade compass.
At the same time, I used the energy of Yin De and "spirit" to stimulate it, and soon, the needle of the jade compass responded and pointed in a direction.
I looked in that direction and found that it was not far from the bus stop for Line 13 at Kunyang Street.
After I parked my car in a parking space on the side of the road, I got out in a hurry.
Carrying the cloth bag on my back, I followed the guidance of the jade compass and went there.
After crossing three streets, the needle of the jade compass finally pointed to a hotel.
The hotel is located at the corner of a building. The location is not very good, but the sign is very large and conspicuous.
The name of the hotel is "Jiacheng Hotel."
I stood at the door of the hotel and looked at the jade compass, confirming that Sun Xiaoli should be inside.
After I entered the hotel, I went straight to the front desk.
The cashier at the front desk was a young girl who looked to be in her twenties.
I asked her if a man and a woman had just checked in, and the young girl nodded and said yes. I asked again which room they were staying in, but she refused to talk about it.
A man next to me who seemed to be the hotel owner asked me if I wanted to stay in the hotel.
I was afraid of trouble, so I took out the "Jiangbin City Special Police Officer Certificate" from my pocket and handed it to the middle-aged boss.
The middle-aged boss looked at my ID and asked in surprise, "So you are an extra-official police officer?"
I deliberately sounded mysterious and said, "Boss, I suspect that a man and a woman who entered your hotel not long ago might be suspicious, so I need to follow up and investigate. You have to cooperate with me."
The middle-aged boss was very enthusiastic and nodded repeatedly, saying yes.
Later, I asked the young girl at the front desk again, and she told me everything about the man and woman who had just checked into the hotel.
She told me that the man was wearing a baseball cap and a mask on his face, and he was holding a young woman in his arms. The woman might be drunk and looked dizzy.
I was certain that those two people were "Snow in July" and Sun Xiaoli.
I hurriedly asked for the room number and the front desk told me one by one.
The middle-aged boss asked me if I needed help going upstairs together.
I said no, I can do it by myself.
The middle-aged boss thought about it and said nothing.
Then I took the spare key of the room and rushed upstairs.
The room number is 1023.
When I arrived at the room, I stood in front of the door and listened for any noise inside, but there was no sound.
But I know that "Snow in July" and Sun Xiaoli must be in it.
"Snow in July" is an evil Taoist priest, so I have to be careful with him.
So to prevent any accidents, I carved runes on the wall opposite the room and took out the incense burner.
I placed the incense burner at the base of the wall on the opposite side, and at the same time, according to the arrangement of the "Seven Nails Sealing the Acupoints Array", I inserted seven peach wood nails into the incense burner.
After doing all this, I feel more at ease.
I estimated that it took me nearly twenty minutes from the time I got on the bus to the time I found the hotel.
I prayed in my heart that "Snow in July" would never do anything to Sun Xiaoli. If he really did, it would not only be a great shame for Sun Xiaoli, but also a shame for me.
I didn’t think too much about it. Saving lives was the most important thing.
I quickly used the spare key of Room 1023 to pry open the door.
With a "click", the door opened.
I rushed in directly.
The hotel room was not big, and there was a person lying on the white bed sheets.
It’s Sun Xiaoli!
Sun Xiaoli seemed to be asleep.
His face was rosy and he looked a little drunk.
When I saw her, I breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, she was fine, her clothes were intact, and she did not lose her virginity.
However, from the toilet in the room, the sound of running water could be heard.
The toilet door was made of glass, and I could see a figure moving inside.
I didn't want to alert the enemy, so I quickly stepped back and slowly closed the door of the room.
Randomly, I took out the Phantom Night Needle from my body and slowly approached the toilet.
But I didn't expect that as soon as I got closer, the person in the bathroom seemed to see me through the flowered glass.
The "splashing" sound of running water stopped.
A cold voice came from the bathroom: "I didn't expect you to come here. It seems you are not simple."
Damn, it's obvious that the "Snow in July" in the bathroom has discovered me.
I didn't go any closer to the toilet.
I said in a deep voice, "It's snowing in July, you'd better behave yourself. I'm here today, you can't escape. You know how many evil things you have done, you'd better surrender obediently."
There was laughter coming from the toilet.
The laughter was a little shrill, not like a man's laughter, but like the voice of a eunuch in an ancient costume palace drama.
After laughing, the man said coldly, "When we were at the milk tea shop, I had already seen that you were also a ghost-catching Taoist priest. Originally, I was planning to give up. But the girl was so pretty, so I decided to get her."
"I didn't expect that you would find us here before anything happened. You really like to meddle in other people's business."
I didn't respond to the words "it snows in July". I felt angry and took a step forward.
There are only two more steps to the toilet.
My skills in Taoism are pretty good, and with the help of my "spirit", I think it should not be a problem for me to deal with an ordinary evil Taoist priest.
But just as my hand touched the toilet door and I was about to take action, suddenly, the toilet door opened by itself, and then a gray thing flew out from it.
Seeing this, I hurriedly dodged and stepped back with the Seven Star Steps.
At the same time, a Phantom Night Needle in my hand was controlled by the Yin De Qi and shot out suddenly.
“Whoosh!”
"Bang!"
The Phantom Night Needle collided with the gray object.
Before I could figure out what was going on, puffs of smoke came out amid the sound of collision.
Suddenly, this small hotel was filled with smoke and a gray atmosphere.
"Swish!" I saw a gray-black shadow passing by.
I know, that must be the "Snow in July".
I quickly drew out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword and slashed towards the gray-black shadow.
There was a "swish!" sound, it must have hit the target. I looked at the sword and found a bloodstain on it.
The direction of the black shadow was towards the door, and I thought to myself that I must not let this "Snow in July" get away.
My feet were moving, and I was blocking the door of the room.
At the same time, I released several fire talismans, and suddenly, the fire talismans illuminated the area in front of the door.
In the white smoke, the appearance of "Snow in July" appeared.
When I saw his appearance, my heart suddenly skipped a beat.
This guy's appearance is really too ugly. No, it cannot be described as "ugly", it should be said to be disgusting.
His face was loose and rough, with red spots the size of beans all over it. The red spots looked like pimples, but they were not pimples. They reminded me of the pustules on a toad.
The bridge of his nose collapsed, as if it was about to be completely embedded in the nostril.
His eyes were one large and one small, with a cold light, and his eyebrows were inverted s-shaped, as if smeared with carbon ash, very black. His lips were gray, and his teeth were not straight and sharp, like dog teeth.
