“Huh…”
Old Zhang suddenly sat up from the bed.
He was sweating profusely.
He was breathing heavily.
Then he immediately picked up the large bottle of mineral water on the bedside table, unscrewed the lid, and started drinking it.
In his previous life, Lao Zhang was injured during a manhunt. He was unable to move in a deserted place for more than a day. The blood loss caused him to be severely thirsty, but he had no water to drink.
The severity of the condition was such that a touch of his lip would tear off a piece of flesh. Although he was eventually rescued, Lao Zhang developed a habit;
That is, every night before going to bed, I will put a bottle of water on the bedside table so that I can feel safe.
Even so, he often took a deep sleep and never woke up to drink water.
I drank half a bottle of mineral water.
Lao Zhang calmed down.
But soon,
A heart,
Pulling again!
I just now,
Fell asleep
Ordinary people have no problem with going to bed and take it for granted.
But this is the greatest torture and pain for the ghost catchers, because they can't sleep. Even if they take sleeping pills, they still can't sleep, except for killing themselves.
A more extreme case is when one faints after being hit hard or seriously injured, but this is not actually sleeping...
Moreover, the body of the ghost catcher is based on that of an ordinary person. He will faint every time he is hit. Do you still want this body
"Gulp..."
Lao Zhang swallowed his saliva.
A great fear came over me.
This fear,
From the unknown,
From something out of control.
He was indeed very tired yesterday. First, a ghost entered his body and he was delayed in the bookstore for a long time. Then he went to the hospital overnight and was in trouble for a whole day and night.
When people are very tired, they tend to ignore a lot of things.
For example, Lao Zhang habitually lay down on the bed last night, closed his eyes, and was supposed to follow the breathing and meditation method taught by Lawyer An.
But this time, there was no time to do this.
At once,
Fell asleep...
Old Zhang would not be so naive as to think that his Ren and Du meridians were suddenly opened up, and that he had obtained opportunities that people like his boss and Lawyer An could not grasp, and that he could sleep alone normally.
now that,
This feels strange.
So,
The dream just now
That dream that was so real that it couldn't be more real
Lao Zhang felt his breathing becoming rapid.
For a long time, although he was a ghost catcher, he actually had no ability to deal with supernatural things related to "ghosts".
But even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen pigs run.
Sometimes he would chat with the old Taoist in the bookstore and listen to him talk about those things and tricks.
Although the Taoist often likes to brag and exaggerate himself, Lao Zhang is also able to "self-filter" to obtain useful information.
For example, regarding the last time the boss was in hell, the old Taoist boasted that he burned incense, bathed, and prayed to the Three Pure Ones for three days and three nights before he opened the door for the boss so that he could escape.
For example, regarding the previous incident with Master Xu Qinglang, the old Taoist boasted that he was the only one who remained steadfast in the illusion and forcibly blocked the other party's process of removing people from the bookstore one by one and throwing them into the illusion, thus creating conditions and opportunities for the boss and his men to counterattack.
These,
Lao Zhang definitely doesn’t believe it!
But after listening to and thinking about these things many times, I started to understand them a little bit.
He immediately got out of bed, not even bothering to put on his coat, and rushed directly to the bathroom, turned on the faucet and started washing his face. He felt he needed to calm down.
“Huh…”
Lift your head,
Look in the mirror,
immediately,
"ah!"
Lao Zhang yelled,
The body stumbled back quickly,
My back hit the sliding door of the bathroom.
Lao Zhang raised his hand.
The person in the mirror also raised his hand.
Old Zhang's body was shaking.
The person in the mirror is also trembling,
But in the mirror,
It's not him!
The one in the mirror,
It's the face of a beast.
Overhead,
There is also a unicorn!
"Xiezhi!"
Lao Zhang blurted it out!
"Oh? You recognize me?"
A peaceful voice was heard and began to echo in the narrow and cramped bathroom.
Lao Zhang immediately twisted his body and glanced at the location of the door out of the corner of his eye, but did not act rashly because he knew very well that he was not the boss, nor was he Lawyer An. When faced with this situation, they could naturally choose to fight and take the blame because they had the ability to do so.
And myself,
No.
"It's not surprising. You are a policeman and a defender of the law. It's normal for you to know me."
Xiezhi talked to himself and gave an explanation for Lao Zhang.
Lao Zhang opened his mouth but said nothing. It was very difficult for an old detective to catch ghosts, but when the ghost actually started to talk to him,
Years of interrogation and adaptability instincts came in handy.
There are some things that this person doesn't seem to know, so I certainly can't say it, but what should I say
Thinking was just a matter of a moment. Lao Zhang immediately spoke with just the right tone and speed:
"I don't know why you came to me. I didn't do anything wrong..."
"No, you are wrong. As a ghost messenger of the underworld, you are very weak."
“… …” Lao Zhang.
It was so right that I couldn't even refute it.
My job as a ghost catcher is really just slacking off.
Under the deliberate indulgence, or even "pampering" of the boss and other people in the bookstore,
I am a ghost messenger in the city,
They can indeed be classified as those who are just doing nothing.
“But you are a good policeman.”
Hearing this,
Old Zhang became even more confused.
"Forget it. I won't interfere in the affairs of the underworld. Whether you do a good job as a ghost messenger or not is none of my business."
It's not my department's business, I don't care.
But Lao Zhang knew clearly that it was because when he wanted to take care of it that year, he was beaten and kicked out by the person in the boss's body. Since then, he dared not reach his hand into hell again.
But it was obvious that this being had no idea about the relationship between the bookstore owner and Ying Gou, nor did he know the real reason why his two clones were destroyed in Tongcheng.
otherwise,
It certainly doesn't have the leisure to talk about this with itself.
“I just want to ask you…”
"Ask me what?"
As soon as Lao Zhang finished speaking,
Suddenly, flames rose in the bathroom.
The scorching heat began to hit.
Lao Zhang subconsciously stepped back and wanted to leave, but the bathroom door could not be opened.
Seeing this, Lao Zhang simply stopped resisting, turned around and continued to stand where he was, but the feeling of the scorching barbecue was indeed unbearable.
Eating barbecue is a very pleasant thing.
But if it's you who's being skewered on the grill instead of your baby,
It won't be that beautiful anymore.
"I just want to ask you, if you are given another chance to choose,
Will you let yourself be burned to death?"
The unicorn in the mirror has no expression.
But it has a kind of majesty.
Lao Zhang hesitated for a moment. He was really thinking about this problem and it would take some time.
After a while,
Old Zhang said:
"I have no idea."
I really don't know.
When I made the decision to die together with the criminals, I did not think at all, because the children in the classroom were also doused with gasoline at that time. Once a fire broke out, the consequences would be disastrous.
But everyone has his or her own nature, and this is what real people are.
Those who always like to shout lofty ideals or ask someone to donate their lives online, just listen and watch.
"very good."
The Fashou seemed very satisfied with Lao Zhang's answer.
The unicorn face in the mirror disappeared, and Lao Zhang saw his own face. The fire around him also disappeared, as if everything that happened before had never happened and was just an illusion.
"I will grant you the identity of walking in the human world of Dharma, and seal a wisp of spirit in your body.
The spirit is beyond the projection and beyond the clone.
Two things to tell you.
One thing is to investigate the disappearance of my two previous projections in Tongcheng.
The second one,
You can use my power to crawl in the underworld."
Old Zhang heard this.
When I looked up at the mirror again,
I found that there was a red glow flowing in my eyes.
He gritted his teeth.
road:
"I need to slow down..."
"You have enough time to adapt. The existence of spirits is too special. I cannot stay awake for a long time. I will fall into a deep sleep. When you call me, I will wake up and lend you the corresponding power.
But your eyes shall be my eyes, and your ears shall be my ears.
You are a good policeman. You have what I have lost..."
The sound gradually faded away.
The red in Lao Zhang's eyes slowly faded away.
He knelt on the tiled floor of the bathroom.
After a while,
Old Zhang suddenly stood up, rushed out of the police dormitory building, and started his car.
About twenty minutes later,
The car stopped in front of the bookstore.
The little girl stood at the door, yawning, and was about to lock it.
The bookstore needs someone to watch over the night, and most of the time it is the old Taoist priest. He will watch over the night until the second half of the night before going to bed, but now the old Taoist priest needs to take care of the monkey, and the little boy is occupied by Lawyer An again tonight.
Lawyer An said that he would spend more time with him and compensate him for what he owed him.
The little girl was too lazy to argue with Lawyer An, so she just came down to keep watch. Business was good, so two ghosts came and they were both sent away.
What the boss wants now is merit, and he doesn’t care much about these GPA points, but the little girl still likes them very much.
Seeing Lao Zhang's car coming over,
The little girl was stunned for a moment.
road:
"I've already had supper."
It’s the middle of the night and there’s no food to eat.
Lao Zhang didn't answer the little Loli.
Instead, he found a cotton ball from the car and blocked his ears with it. Then he closed his eyes, opened the door, groped his way out of the car, and almost fell down.
The little girl opened the shop door, folded her hands, stood there, and watched Lao Zhang "blindly touching the elephant".
Finally, Lao Zhang staggered to the door of the bookstore.
He saw the little Lolita before getting off the bus.
So I know that the little Loli is here now,
He pointed to his mouth, then to his eyes, and then to his ears.
at last,
Started shaking his hands vigorously.
At first, the little girl had a playful smile on her face.
But gradually,
The smile on her face began to disappear.
And gradually it becomes serious...
