Old Liu
Tang Ning thought for three seconds with his frightened brain, and suddenly remembered the driver of the hearse, Lao Liu.
"Are you a hearse driver?" Tangning asked.
Old Liu pushed the cart with the body bag on it out. Hearing this, he hummed calmly. Tangning quickly followed Old Liu, "Great, Master Liu! I have something to ask you!"
Old Liu looked straight ahead. The cold light from the corridor shone on him, which was so lifeless that Tang Ning felt as if he was a zombie.
Tang Ning slowed down his pace and looked at Lao Liu's shadow again. After confirming that Lao Liu had a shadow, he raised his head again and met Lao Liu's staring eyes.
Old Liu was still pushing the cart, but his head turned around. He didn't look at the road, but stared at Tangning without blinking. Tangning felt a chill down his spine. He stammered, "Did you have a fever yesterday?"
"right."
Tangning saw that Old Liu was almost at the elevator. He was afraid that Old Liu would keep looking at him and would walk past the elevator. However, Old Liu parked the cart steadily at the elevator entrance and stared at Tangning, "What do you want to ask?"
Tang Ning was a little afraid of Lao Liu.
He was always afraid of people who seemed unapproachable.
"My friend and I came to see you yesterday for something. He kept knocking on your door, but you didn't open it." He even used honorifics involuntarily.
"I fell asleep after taking the medicine and didn't hear the knock on the door." Old Liu said coldly.
The elevator door opened and Lao Liu pushed the cart into the elevator. Tangning followed closely behind him, like a little tail. "Is that so? Are you feeling better now?"
The numbers on the elevator display kept jumping. The confined space made Tangning feel unsafe. Old Liu looked to be in his 50s or 60s. The age spots on his face reminded him of corpse spots under the dim light. He asked gloomily, "What do you want to ask?"
Tangning swallowed her saliva and asked nervously, "At twelve o'clock the night before yesterday, did the hearse you were driving pick up any passengers?"
His cloudy eyes seemed to be about to pop out of their sockets. Lao Liu's expression suddenly became very ugly. He suddenly raised his voice: "I don't know what you are talking about!"
Tang Ning was frightened by Lao Liu's sudden anger and took a step back. His back pressed against the cold elevator, and he realized he had nowhere to retreat.
The elevator door opened at this time.
Old Liu didn't even look at Tangning and walked out directly with the cart.
Tangning hesitated for a moment, but still chased after him. She followed behind Lao Liu cautiously. Lao Liu suddenly turned around and stared at Tangning intently, "If you don't want to die, don't follow me."
At that moment, Tang Ning suddenly realized why she was so afraid of Lao Liu's eyes.
The ghost baby also stared at him with the same eyes.
Cold and cruel.
Tang Ning froze in place, watching Lao Liu disappear with the cart.
Only when Old Liu completely disappeared from Tang Ning's sight did Tang Ning have the strength to move his body. He didn't dare to stay in the hospital any longer and left the hospital quickly. Only when he stood under the scorching sun did he feel a little better.
Tang Ning took a deep breath and took out Lu Yingxing's phone from his pocket. There were obvious cracks on the phone. He didn't know if it was broken or had no battery. He tried to turn it on but it wouldn't work.
Tang Ning took a taxi to a nearby mobile phone repair shop. The owner said that the phone was broken and it would take more than an hour to repair it. Tang Ning temporarily left the phone with the owner. He planned to go to the funeral home to ask others for some information about Lao Liu.
Old Liu must know something. This was the only way Tang Ning could find a way out, and he didn't want to give up easily.
System, who was the person Lu Yingxing met at the funeral home last time
Director Lin.
When they arrived at the funeral home, Tang Ning told the security guard that he wanted to see the director. After waiting for a while, Tang Ning met the friendly-looking director again.
Director Lin said with a sad expression: "How could such a good person just leave like that? My friend, why did you come to see me?"
"I would like to know something about the funeral car driver, Master Liu. Thank you, Director Lin," Tangning said stiffly.
He is not good at dealing with interpersonal relationships.
"You want to understand Lao Liu. Lao Liu is also a pitiful man." Director Lin's tone was full of regret. "If nothing had happened to his wife, his child would be the same age as you now..."
Director Lin said that Lao Liu was very courageous. Even though everyone in this line of work was courageous, Lao Liu was the courageous one here.
Lao Liu did not believe in ghosts and gods, was not afraid of walking at night, and did his job well. When he was 30 years old, Lao Liu's wife became pregnant. During that time, Lao Liu was happy all day long. Unexpectedly, one day, Lao Liu's wife accidentally fell while taking a bath in the bathroom, resulting in two deaths.
Since then, Lao Liu has changed.
He placed the spirit tablets of his wife and children in the room. He was extremely superstitious and spent most of his money on Taoist priests. He also became less talkative.
"Taoist priest?" Tang Ning keenly grasped the key words. The system said that a person with real cultivation could seal the ghost baby. The Taoist priest that Old Liu spent so much money and energy to find might not be a scammer, but a real person with real skills. Tang Ning almost couldn't wait to ask, "Do you know which Taoist priest Master Liu is looking for?!"
"It's Taoist Hao from the funeral street in front of Lao Liu Community."
Tang Ning said goodbye to Director Lin and took a taxi to the funeral street in front of Lao Liu’s community.
Tang Ning had seen this street from a distance many times before, but today was her first time here. There were wreath shops, funeral clothing shops, and coffin shops on the street. Tang Ning walked to an ordinary funeral clothing shop and asked nervously, "Excuse me, is Taoist Master Hao here?"
A skinny old man sat up from a recliner. His hair was gray and he was wearing a bright red Tang suit. If he had been seen somewhere else, people would have praised him for his vigorous spirit, but wearing this attire in a funeral clothing store made people feel a little weird.
"Are you here to buy funeral clothes?" asked the old man.
Tangning shook her head and was about to say that she was here to see Taoist Master Hao, when she heard the old man slowly say, "You're almost dead, why don't you buy one for yourself?"
Tang Ning was shocked. He looked at the skinny old man and asked in awe, "Are you Taoist Master Hao?"
"Just call me Boss Hao."
At this moment, the old man was extremely great in Tang Ning's heart. He looked at the only master he could find at the moment, "Master! I'm being haunted by a ghost. Can you help me seal the ghost?"
Boss Hao said calmly: "Tell me slowly what happened."
Tangning quickly confessed everything he knew. Boss Hao shook his head, "You provoked this evil baby. It's pestering you, and it's trying to get a new life in your belly."
Tangning thought of the nightmare she had before and couldn't help but feel her stomach tighten. "But, but I'm a man!"
"What's wrong with being a man? I heard you young people say something about male mothers. Men can't have children?"
Tang Ning was shocked.
"The attacks you encountered in the bathroom, the corridor, and the morgue were caused by ghosts covering your eyes and deceiving you. They were illusions, but you are lucky and you managed to break the illusion every time." Boss Hao narrowed his eyes. "But the death of your friend was not just an illusion. If you don't deal with it and appease his resentment, I'm afraid another evil ghost will haunt you."
Tangning asked in panic, "Then what should I do, Master?"
Boss Hao rubbed his fingers.
Seeing Tangning's blank expression, Boss Hao looked at her with disdain, "Pay the money first."
Tangning quickly asked, "How much?"
"The evil ghosts your friends turned into are worth one million, and the evil babies are worth five million." Boss Hao reported an astonishing number.
System, do I have money in my card
Yuan
Tangning burst into tears when he heard this. He pitifully asked Boss Hao, "Can you make it cheaper?"
Boss Hao lay back on the recliner and closed his eyes. "I can sell you the shroud at a lower price."
Tangning had no choice but to walk out of the store and call Mo Yunchu, "Xiaoning, what's wrong?"
"Mo Yunchu, can you lend me some money?" It was Tang Ning's first time asking someone for money, and his brain was working quickly to come up with a reasonable excuse.
"How much does Xiao Ning need?" Mo Yunchu asked softly, "Is ten million enough?"
Tangning was stunned. After he realized what was happening, he quickly said, "It doesn't need to be that much. Five million and two hundred thousand will be enough."
"Okay." Mo Yunchu smiled, "I have something else to do, so let's not talk for now."
After hanging up the phone, Tang Ning received two transfers.
They are 5.2 million and 13.14 million respectively.
System, have you noticed that Mo Yunchu has suddenly become more handsome
Tangning said seriously.
... ...
Tang Ning did not transfer the extra money back immediately. He planned to keep it for backup and return it to Mo Yunchu after he had completely dealt with the ghost baby. However, the money he spent was destined to be borrowed and never returned unless the real money could be transferred to the game copy.
After returning to the funeral clothing store, Tangning paid the money. Boss Hao's attitude instantly warmed up. He smiled and said, "I see that your seal pad is wide, your eyes are bright, and your jaw is full, which are all good... But there is one flaw. My friend, your fate palace is dim, and you must be in danger of death. Although you have the help of noble people, it is still very dangerous. If you don't make it, there is no need for me to say anything. If you make it, everything will be fine."
Tangning was stunned by what she heard. She almost had a face like "stupid but rich" on her face. "Then Master, what should I do?"
"First, take care of your friend Lu Yingxing's matter. He must be full of resentment because of your sudden death. When he is buried, you need to see him off all the way, looking back every seven steps. After the burial, take a handful of soil from his grave and bring it back home. Bow down to him every morning and evening, and he will be fine after 49 days. However, you will also be required to offer sacrifices and offerings during the four seasons and eight festivals in the future."
Tangning opened her phone and said nervously, "Master, please say it again. I'll write it down."
Boss Hao repeated it, and then said, "As for the ghost baby, prepare some candies and drinks with you. If he comes to bother you again, give them to him. After all, he is still a baby, and his nature does not distinguish between good and evil. As long as you treat him well, he will not harm you again..."
"He is also a pitiful creature. I see that the legs of the rag doll he inhabits are broken. Someone must have trapped him there. If you are willing to be kind, find an opportunity to sew up his legs. Then he can be reincarnated and will naturally stop bothering you."
Tang Ning felt overjoyed after hearing Boss Hao's advice. He was extremely grateful to Boss Hao and kept saying, "Master, I understand."
Boss Hao nodded. He yawned and looked a little tired. "Okay, go ahead and do it."
Finally, he suddenly glanced at Tangning again, "My friend, your intentions are murky and unpredictable. I'm afraid there is someone plotting against you. You should be careful with the people around you recently."
People around you
Tangning asked carefully, "Master, can you explain it in detail?"
"Be careful of your friends, bosses, colleagues, relatives, and..."
"Your pillow."
