Yan Jing's house has two bedrooms and a living room, but he lives alone. I don't know where his parents are. He seems to have never mentioned his parents to me. His house is probably more than 80 square meters. The house is very messy. I don't know how long it has been since the oil on the table was washed. There are ten boxes of old-style pickled cabbage and beef noodles on the balcony of the house. Yan Jing walked in and threw the two pairs of underwear on the sofa to the ground, pointed at the sofa and said, "Sit down, you're welcome."

"Your room is such a mess." I looked at the room with shame, but unexpectedly, Glasses said calmly: "Of course you won't think so when you see my bedroom."

"Okay," I shrugged. When you walk into his house, there's a kitchen on the left, a toilet on the right, and a living room. Going into the living room, there's a corridor to the right. Going into the corridor, there's a room on the left, and at the end of the corridor there's another room.

"The room on the left side of the corridor is your room. You can sleep there today. By the way, why did you come to see me?" Glasses pushed up his glasses and looked at me and asked

I looked at the glasses and said, "I'm bored, so I came to Chongqing to play with you."

Glasses nodded and suddenly slapped his head and said: "By the way, didn't you give me a Seven Star Ancient Scroll before? Didn't you tell me that the Seven Star Lamp can prolong life? I have studied it for a long time."

"Oh, that, I have found the Seven Star Lamp." When I said this, I suddenly thought of ***. My life span should only be one or two months, or even less than a month. At that time, I had used two "Nine Star Talismans" in a row. I quickly took out my backpack and turned it over. When I saw the Seven Star Lamp lying quietly in my backpack, I finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it is still there. I was in a daze some time ago and didn't care about it. I even forgot when I put this thing into the backpack.

"Here, this is the Seven Star Lamp." I took out seven ancient lamps and handed them to Yan Jing. Yan Jing looked up and down and left and right for a while and then said to me: "This is the Seven Star Lamp. It can extend life. I have read the legend that Zhuge Liang used the Seven Star Lamp to extend his life. I don't know if it is true."

"But your Seven Star Scroll is very interesting," said Glasses, and he put down the Seven Star Lamp, put his hands in his pockets, and walked towards the room at the end of the corridor. After about a minute, he came out with the Seven Star Scroll in his hand.

He threw the Seven Star Scroll in front of me and said, "I really haven't figured out anything about this thing. It won't break even if you burn it with fire, and it won't get any water to make anything. I thought it would be like in martial arts novels where hidden fonts would appear."

"Brother, this is a treasure. You are burning it with fire. What if it gets burnt to pieces?" I said to the man with glasses.

"It's not mine anyway if it's burned," said Glasses, shrugging his shoulders.

I sighed and said, "You should go to bed early. I will study the Seven Star Lamp."

"Why are you studying this?" Glasses asked curiously.

I looked at the Seven Star Lamp and said to the man with glasses, "Brother, I may only have one month left to live. Damn it! Now all my hopes are on this Seven Star Lamp. I was so busy a while ago that I forgot about it. Now I can only put my hopes of extending my life on this Seven Star Lamp."

"But I suggest you don't use it now. Although I don't know how to use this Seven Star Lamp, since it can prolong life, it certainly can't be ordinary. This world is equal. You have to pay for what you get. It's up to you. I'll go in and sleep first. It's too late. I won't go to investigate that case tomorrow. I still have to write."

After Glasses finished speaking, he patted my shoulder and turned around to walk into his room. I looked at Glasses' back and then at the Seven Star Scroll and the Seven Star Lamp on the table. I put the Seven Star Lamp back into my backpack. Although I don't know how much life I have left, what Glasses said does make sense. If you want to get something, you have to pay first. Since it can extend your life, Zhuge Liang died soon after he failed when he first used the Seven Star Lamp. I'd better not use it now. As for the Seven Star Scroll, I didn't touch it. I'll keep it for Glasses to study. It's useless to me anyway.

I approached the house. This house was about 10 square meters. It was very clean, but there was dust and some spider webs everywhere. It seemed that Yan Jing had not been in this house for a long time. I took out a quilt from the closet and looked at the house again. I decided to go back to the living room to sleep. Fortunately, the sofa in Yan Jing's living room was a leather sofa instead of a wooden sofa, otherwise I would have lay on the sofa miserably and fell asleep quickly without thinking. It also took me a lot of energy to deal with the ghost in Carrefour before.

"Who is the one who ...

I rubbed my eyes and picked up the phone next to me. It was Haibin who called me. I left him my phone number yesterday. I looked at the time on the wall and it was only ten o'clock in the morning. I answered the phone in a daze and asked, "Hello, Haibin, what's the matter? It's so early in the morning. Is there any breakthrough in the case?"

"What kind of breakthrough can there be? The Carrefour headquarters has sent a message that they have agreed to close Carrefour for three days so that we can investigate. As for you asking me to investigate this piece of land, this piece of land is very clean and has been a residential area for a long time. I also asked the police to go door to door to ask the residents if many people have died here before, but those people said they didn't know. Even the elderly people in their seventies and eighties couldn't explain clearly."

"Then why did you call me?" I sat up from the sofa and felt sore all over. I slept on this sofa.

"We are from Chongqing City's Supernatural Investigation Team and we are back to investigate this case. We want to talk to you."

"It's right in front of Carrefour. I'll take you guys out for dinner at twelve o'clock."

"Okay, I'll come over in a minute."

It's good that the Chongqing City Paranormal Investigation Team has returned. It's always good to have more people working together to find a solution.

I tidied my clothes and knocked on Glasses' door. I opened it and saw that he was still awake and typing away in front of the computer. However, he deleted every few hundred words he typed. It made me sick to my balls. If he kept typing like this for hundreds of years, he wouldn't be able to type out 10,000 words. I said hello to him and turned to leave.

I put on my backpack and walked out of the glasses' room. The sun was very strong outside. Chongqing was extremely hot. The temperature today was estimated to be over 30 degrees. I hailed a taxi with my backpack on my back and a black T-shirt on, and asked the driver to drive to Carrefour.
