The weather in Harbin is getting colder and colder. For someone like me who was born in Sichuan, it is really unbearable. I have heard people say before that if you go to the toilet outdoors in Harbin, you have to bring a wooden stick and knock it while peeing. I didn’t believe it at that time, but now I find that this sentence is really apt.
"Brother Cui, that zombie said he was Meng Yi, do you think it's true?" It was already the next morning, and Cui Zuofei and I were sitting in the lobby of Fuze Hall, warming ourselves by the fire and chatting.
"Who knows? But it looks pretty authentic. His armor does seem to be from the Qin Dynasty." Cui Zuofei picked up an apple and took a bite.
"Brother Cui, what a pity. We should have gone up and taken down that armor. It's armor from the Qin Dynasty. I wonder how much it is worth." I nodded and continued. I was actually thinking about Meng Yi's armor. It was armor from the Qin Dynasty, and it was worn by Meng Yi. It felt different. It was similar to the autographed photos of celebrities. A photo is not worth much, but it becomes valuable when the celebrity's name is signed on it.
I feel that if Meng Yi's identity were to be made public, his fame would be no less popular than any current star, and the value of the armor he wore would naturally increase.
What kind of personality does Cui Zuofei have? When he heard what I said, he immediately slapped his head hard and shouted in pain: "Why didn't I think of this? It's my money."
Looking at Cui Zuofei's grief-stricken expression, I burst into laughter. I have to say that Cui Zuofei is really amazing, but such a master has such a childish personality. I don't know if he did this on purpose to disguise himself, or if this is his true nature.
"But then again, Brother Cui, how did you know there were flying corpses there?" I waited until Cui Zuofei had almost finished suffering, and then I asked. This was indeed what I was more confused about.
Cui Zuofei rolled his eyes and said in a muffled voice: "How could I not know that he is actually one of the people I protect."
"The object of protection? What does that mean?" I asked puzzledly.
When Cui Zuofei saw that I didn't know about this, he asked curiously, "You joined the Chengdu paranormal investigation team, but they haven't told you yet?"
I was even more curious about Cui Zuofei's behavior, so I asked, "Tell me what, Brother Cui, stop keeping me in suspense and just tell me directly."
"Ahem, it's like this." Then Cui Zuofei started talking to me.
It turns out that this story has to start from the Republic of China. During the Republic of China, the world was in chaos, wars were frequent, and people were living in misery. As the saying goes, in troubled times, evil spirits will emerge. At that time, the whole of China was shrouded in resentment. Under such circumstances, if there were no powerful monsters and demons, it would be a shame to this once-in-a-century war.
Anyway, at that time, all kinds of demons that harmed humanity appeared everywhere. Although the government at that time was in chaos, it still summoned Yin-Yang masters from all over the country and issued orders to eliminate the demons. But later it was discovered that the casualties among the Yin-Yang masters who eliminated the demons were too great, while just sealing them would not cause much casualties.
Mr. Yin and Yang is not made of iron, nor is he a fearless warrior, so at that time he only sealed the demons and did not kill them. It’s no wonder that his efficiency was several times higher than killing the demons. Suddenly, the number of demons in various places decreased instantly. This flying corpse was one of the sealed demons at that time. It is said that this flying corpse was a scourge to Harbin at that time, and it was Master Hu San who sealed him later.
However, there must be follow-up services after sealing, just like selling home appliances and sending people to repair them regularly. In fact, what Cui Zuofei is doing now is a maintenance worker, specializing in observing and repairing the sealed monsters near Harbin.
After listening to Cui Zuofei's words, I was also stunned. It seemed as if there were powerful people all over the world.
“Actually, you don’t have to be afraid. These demons don’t come out so easily. This time, it was just the human scent on Xiaojiu that led him out. And according to the rules of the supernatural circle, as long as the demons have the same wisdom as humans, there is no need to seal them anymore. Just let them go.” Cui Zuofei said.
"Why don't you continue sealing it? Wouldn't it be more difficult to catch if it had a higher intelligence?" I asked curiously.
"It's because they have the same wisdom as humans. They know that if they continue to make trouble now, they will be sealed again, or even be in danger of being killed. They are very smart and will not do such a stupid thing." Cui Zuofei said with great confidence.
I nodded after hearing this. These monsters do cherish their lives more than we humans do, because when we die, we can be reincarnated, but for them, their souls and bodies have merged into one, so once they die, their souls will be torn apart.
I nodded, listening to Cui Zuofei say this, this zombie might really be Meng Yi.
"Okay, stop talking. It's useless for us to worry about these things." Cui Zuofei shook his head and said.
"Oh, last question, why didn't Brother Cui just call out Master Chang to kill him?" I asked puzzledly. I felt that it should have been an easy task for Chang Tianqing to kill Meng Yi at that time.
Cui Zuofei fell into deep thought after hearing what I said. After thinking for a long time, he sighed and said, "Xiao Jiu, do you know why so many monsters give me face now, including the monsters who trained you last time? It's because of Chang Tianqing. To be honest, if I didn't have Chang Tianqing, I would only be a Yin-Yang master with high Taoist skills, but those monsters would not give me face, just like Meng Yi. He didn't fight because he said I smelled like Chang Tianqing."
"Although I have Chang Tianqing's help, asking him for help will have serious side effects. The maximum time that Chang Tianqing can possess me is five minutes. If the time is over, my vitality will begin to be consumed. Although Meng Yi is a newly formed zombie, if Chang Tianqing possesses me and fights him, I feel that at least I will have to lose a year of my lifespan to destroy him. It's not worth it."
I nodded after listening to Cui Zuofei's explanation. To be honest, I feel that these monsters are very strong, not just ordinary strong, and they should have some capital to negotiate with humans, otherwise they would have been wiped out long ago. China has a population of 1.3 billion, and a mouthful of spit from each person can drown a lot of monsters.
"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Xiaojiu, go out and distribute flyers for me tomorrow." Cui Zuofei changed his expression faster than turning the pages of a book. He had a gloomy face at first, but now he spoke with a grin and took out a stack of flyers from the cabinet.
"What? What kind of flyers are you distributing?" I took one and looked at it, and almost burst out laughing.
The title of the flyer is: Invincible Savior. Anyway, the general content is to tell people obscurely that we work in the underworld or something like that. Damn, I have never heard of catching ghosts and handing out flyers on the street. If the police catch you, you will be put in jail for a few days.
Cui Zuofei saw through my thoughts and said to me, "It's okay. Can't you see that I wrote these in a rather obscure way? Most people can't see it. Besides, every chief of the police station in this area has bought Buddha statues from me before. When the time comes, just go ahead and send them. If you really get arrested, I'll just come and get you out."
Honestly, it would have been better if Cui Zuofei hadn't said that. After he said that, I would never go there even if I died. Especially the last sentence, "Get me out." It made me sound like a drug dealer. I am an upright Yin-Yang Master, how could I do such a shameful thing
Actually, there is a main reason why I didn't go. I don't know what Cui Zuofei did to me. He actually printed a picture of Ultraman fighting a monster on the flyer, and also photoshopped Ultraman's face into his own, and the monster's face into mine. Looking at this weird flyer and Cui Zuofei's threatening look, I sighed and thought, forget it, just send it out. Anyway, this flyer is so weird that no one can understand it.
