"Li Hongying, I might let my parents down." Jiang Xiaoli put away the phone and suddenly said with emotion.
She has never been a "child of someone else's family". She is only middle-class in everything she does, and she is the most inconspicuous person in the middle class. She can't be something her parents are proud to talk about, but she won't degenerate to the point of disappointing them completely.
What now? There have been changes. What changed was not her parents' attitude towards her, but Jiang Xiaoli herself. She thought that if she hadn't died in the game, then it would be impossible to get married and have children in reality. Her lover was a ghost—a red-clothed ghost. If her parents knew about it, they might think she was crazy. Jiang Xiaoli pinched her little finger, so she could only show the attitude of being infertile, but Li Hongying might feel wronged like this. Then, if she dies in a battle royale game one day, she has to leave something for her parents...
She can put the money into the bank card, and then make a will or something, preferably a suicide note? The relationship between parents is very good, if only they can have another child... Besides money, can she draw some good luck charms for parents? Thinking about these things, Jiang Xiaoli suddenly became panicked. She had never thought about arranging her own funeral, or what would happen after her death, or what would happen to her parents. died? If you die, you die, that is an instant thing, whether it is in the game or in reality. But she is a real person after all, what will happen after she dies? It should be nothing, nothing. Sadness and heartbreak are only temporary and will be accepted sooner or later.
Li Hongying hugged her, didn't speak, just quietly accompanied Jiang Xiaoli.
…
The eighteenth day of the rest period.
"Remember what happened on the subway last time?"
Jiang Xiaoli was stunned, and then recalled the last news about the exhibitionist man. She went to Line 3 with Wei Qianrong that time, but found nothing.
"Just remember, a client said that she seemed to be harassed on the subway, but she didn't see anyone. After returning home, she found that there were handprints on her body, black handprints, not dirty, it should be ghosts." Wei Qianrong briefly talked about the matter, "I've taken over this matter, do you want to come together?"
"You take over?"
"She found Master Taoist Temple and bought your talisman, so I found out about it. It just so happened that the matter was on my side again. Master asked me if I would like to take over, and I agreed." Wei Qianrong said , transferred the money for the exorcism talisman to Jiang Xiaoli 50,000 yuan, and they agreed to split the account 50-50 for the talisman sold. Wei Qianrong actually didn't intend to ask for money, but Jiang Xiaoli insisted, so she was free.
"I'll go with you, do you want to call Luo Mingjie?"
"He's accompanying him in the hospital, forget it."
…
The client was a woman in her thirties who was well maintained, but when Wei Qianrong asked about the subway, she burst into tears. As she said, she seldom takes the subway, and only occasionally takes the subway when she doesn’t want to drive. There is a subway entrance near her home, which is very convenient. And she has never encountered such a thing before, but...
Wei Qianrong took out a tissue and handed it over: "Ms. Zhang, please calm down. We will go to the subway to investigate the situation. May I ask which station you were at?"
"I don't, I don't remember... I just remember Line 3... I was scared, I thought it was people, there were people all around, but I couldn't see it, I squeezed out but the hand kept following..."
This is very weird.
"I just got off the hand that was standing and didn't continue to follow me... It's terrible, it's terrible..."
"It stands to reason that it is impossible for a ghost to come to you for no reason, are you—"
"What do you mean?!" Ms. Zhang suddenly became angry, she patted the table and stood up, "Are you really capable? Is it my fault that I was haunted by a ghost? Come and help me, I think you're not as old as I—"
"It seems that you do know something." Wei Qianrong didn't get angry, she leaned forward as if to listen: "So, can you tell us what happened? If you keep it secret, we don't know the ins and outs and we can't really know what happened." help you."
"Nothing! I'm just unlucky."
The conversation broke up badly. To be precise, Ms. Zhang left in a huff.
"Is it okay like this? The yin energy on her body hasn't dissipated yet." Jiang Xiaoli didn't say a word the whole time, listening to Wei Qianrong negotiating with others. It's just that the client left in such a huff
"After your ghost exorcising talisman is used up, she will go to her uncle again, and then she will come to me again." Wei Qianrong didn't care much, "She doesn't cherish her own life, I have it any solution."
It's just that at night, Wei Qianrong came across a post on the Internet, which also talked about the matter of the subway scumbag. It's just that the poster seems to be a big man... also on Line 3 and was harassed. But he didn't know who it was, there were obviously big men around him, and he didn't see a woman, but the hand that touched him was a woman's hand—he felt that the hand was very slippery. He has looked around but can't see anything. He got scared when he found black handprints on his body when he returned home. He suspected that he had encountered a ghost and that his yang energy had been sucked.
A lot of people under the post were giggling and envious of the poster's good luck, and some bluntly said, "Share the story you just made up". There are not a few replies such as "Isn't it just for experience? Give it to you, give it to you".
There were more than one victim, but Ms. Zhang was the only one who found a Taoist temple and bought amulets at a large price. Wei Qianrong looked at this post and added it as a bookmark so that she could learn about the owner's news in the future. She didn't take the initiative to ask anything. Firstly, she looked like a liar, and secondly, she was afraid of players fishing.
After scrolling through this post for a while, a message from the same victim appeared below. They compared and found that they were all in the same city, but the subway lines were different.
"Hahaha, the poster is amazing, please post a fishing post? It's not a subway line anymore, so the ghost still commits crimes?"
"It's amazing, I almost believed it."
…
Wei Qianrong thought about it, and decided to take Line 3 again. Ms. Zhang didn't contact her. Presumably there was nothing wrong with her—since the ghost was only on the subway, it would be fine as long as she didn't take the subway in the future.
It's just that Wei Qianrong couldn't figure it out, since that ghost killed the exhibitionist man, it should be extremely disgusted with the trickery, how could it... harm people like this? But that ghost didn't kill anyone, could it be that there is something unspeakable hidden
"Wei Qianrong, do you have any contacts for investigation?" The next day, Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help asking after hearing what Wei Qianrong said.
"Just ask a private detective."
"Perhaps you can investigate whether Ms. Zhang has encountered any bad things. It's not that she was molested or something, but that she has encountered it but left as if she didn't see it, or watched it with a cold eye. Had it been fun?" Jiang Xiaoli thought, if the ghost didn't kill anyone and was just teasing like this, it should be for revenge.
"It's not easy to investigate." Wei Qianrong frowned. Such things are hard to find out, but since the person on the subway is a ghost, it should be a murder case. She might be able to look up the murders of the exhibitionist man before he died, and she might know something.
She made a phone call to Ms. Zhang, briefly told about the subway haunting incident and other victims, and briefly said her guess, but before she finished speaking, she got a reply like "None of my business" and was hung up phone.
Ah. ... didn't take much money, but they took such painstaking efforts to investigate, but in the end the client didn't care. Wei Qianrong sighed, and took out the soul-calling flag from his backpack. It would be thankless to check it carefully, so it's better to find a simpler method.
Simply, scare Ms. Zhang and tell her to come and find me quickly. Ms. Zhang is probably because she got off safely without taking the subway, and because she has an amulet to protect her from ghosts, she doesn't pay attention to this matter anymore, and she can even say "it's none of my business".
"Help me scare a person, consume the ghost charm on her body, and don't hurt her." Wei Qianrong found Ms. Zhang's address and information, showed it to Yang Yun, and said: "Go early and go early back."
Yang Yun nodded, and when she was about to leave, she caught a glimpse of the bear toy lying quietly on the sofa, and sensed the energy fluctuation inside, she was stunned for a moment. But this must be a reward from the game, it belonged to Wei Qianrong, so she wasn't too worried. She blurred her figure and floated out the door, hurriedly following the address Wei Qianrong gave her.
Wei Qianrong leaned on the sofa and hugged the bear toy, lazily flipping through the Bible.
After Jiang Xiaoli drew two more ghost talismans in the room, Wei Qianrong received a call from Ms. Zhang. She looked at the cell phone lying on the coffee table that kept ringing, and didn't answer it immediately, but waited for the ringing to stop—a second call came in.
"Hi, hello, do you have—"
"Help me, save me! It's a ghost, it's really a ghost! She came looking for me... She came looking for me... The talisman is gone, save me... Hurry up and save me..."
Wei Qianrong put down the Bible, raised her hand to touch the teddy bear's belly, and moved the phone slightly away from her ear with the other hand. She said, "Didn't you cancel the commission?"
"No, no... I was wrong just now, I, I told you everything... I woo woo..."
"Calm down first. Since the ghost didn't kill you, you should be safe for the time being. You can come to me tomorrow and I will give you the address."
"But, but...but now I..."
"You need to calm down now and get some sleep. See you tomorrow." Hang up.
Wei Qianrong looked at the phone in her hand and sensed Yang Yun's return. She took out the soul-calling banner and ordered Yang Yun to go back, and then sighed with some emotion: I would have known it would be like this, why did she go to such trouble? Obviously, I have played the game several times, and those players with ulterior motives have never killed them. Don't they know human nature
