Chapter 23:
Cheng Hui fell down on the ground, not saying a word, his expression was dull, as if he didn't hear their conversation at all.
From the moment we first met, Dongzhi felt that something was wrong with him, but at that time the situation was urgent and there was no time to ask more questions.
"What's up with him?"
He Yudao: "Humans have three souls, fetal light, cool spirit, secluded spirit, and cool spirit is the master of wisdom. He lost one soul of cool spirit, so he became muddleheaded, like a mentally handicapped person. After getting out of the car just now, you collided with him. It's like a ghost, you have to get on the bridge, I want to chase you, but there are a few naked girls dancing in front of me and stop me."
Winter Solstice's mouth twitched: "Mr. Cang?"
He Yu rolled his eyes: "The figure is better than Mr. Cang, but how could this master who has read thousands of sails be fooled? Seeing that the other party couldn't stop me, they all turned into Cheng Hui, and one of them was Really, I was eager to deal with them and rescue Cheng Hui, but I lost you, but luckily there is the boss, otherwise this will really be a big trouble!"
The winter solstice said truthfully: "I think you may be punished when you go back."
He Yu wailed: "That's for sure! When I came out, I lost Jingzhou carelessly, and we have to rely on the boss to save us. My beloved little money, I have seen them flying away with wings!"
Cover your ears on the winter solstice to isolate the magic sound.
But he couldn't help thinking of the execution ground and the gendarmerie just now, and the chill still couldn't dissipate in his heart.
"What happened just now, did we hit a ghost, or did we pass through?"
He Yu said solemnly: "Neither, the other party just set up a trap around there, waiting for us to crash into it, the people and things you see are all monsters with grievances, and people's vision has Limited, easy to be confused.”
Winter Solstice was stunned: "So, what we saw just now was all an illusion?"
But obviously holding his hand and crying, all seemed so real.
He Yu: "It's not a hallucination, they belong to the same kind of monsters as the sneaky yakshas you saw on the train and Changbai Mountain before, but they are lower than the sneaky yakshas and can't absorb the essence of the human brain, and can only be in a specific knot. Survive in the world."
Winter Solstice worried: "Then ordinary people won't be affected, right?"
He Yu shook his head: "This place, the Republic of China used to be an execution ground. There were countless dead people, and the resentment was condensed. After a hundred years, it still did not dissipate, forming a special magnetic field. It was nothing at all, but someone took advantage of this to create a barrier, deliberately Trick us into it, and make you think that if you go back a hundred years ago, once you stay in it for a long time, you will definitely not be able to come back."
The two set off Cheng Hui, one left and one right, but the latter was still muddleheaded and did not resist.
The hotel was crowded and it was very inconvenient, so they went back to the house that Cheng Hui rented.
It's been a night now, the sky is white, and the landlord's aunt was awakened by them in a good dream. She came to open the door with a displeased face. Seeing that they really found people back, I remembered the strange method of how to find people before. , couldn't help but be stunned, and forgot the scolding that had just reached his mouth.
Winter Solstice falsely claimed that they rescued people from the MLM organization, but Cheng Hui was bullied, was in bad spirits, and needed a rest. They would stay here to take care of him for a few days, and temporarily increased the rent for the landlord, successfully getting her out of bed. Gas strangled in the cradle.
After settling Cheng Hui well, both of them were so tired that they lay down on the ground and didn't want to move any more.
"The enchantment of Liuhua Bridge, I will report back to the boss and let him find someone to take a look." He Yu was weak, and his voice became hoarse.
Reluctantly got up on the winter solstice, collected two cans of drinks from the refrigerator, and threw a bottle to him.
"I always feel that somewhere, it seems like someone is pushing us forward. The matter of Cheng Hui is probably related to what you asked him to investigate."
He Yu opened the drink, took a big gulp, and sighed comfortably: "It's all my fault, this kid is very curious, he must have discovered something by accident and let the other party notice."
The winter solstice took out a pen and paper, wrote the word "train" on it, and drew an arrow pointing to Changchun.
The southeast of Changchun is Changbai Mountain.
Then there is Guangzhou.
Finally connect all the locations with wires.
One south and one north, almost spanning more than half of the country.
The winter solstice is written in brackets after the train, Changchun, and Changbai Mountain: (Sneak Yaksha).
He looked up at He Yu, and wrote on the back of Guangzhou: (Low-level sneaking Yaksha).
He Yu frowned as he looked at the schematic diagram drawn by the Winter Solstice.
"I remembered a past event." He said, "Seven years ago, I was sent to the Yunnan border to perform a mission, and we encountered a similar situation at that time. In the Dian Kingdom, when I first joined the job, I was young and energetic, and I was not afraid of the sky and the earth, but I almost fell into the ground. Later I learned that those monsters are called sneak yaks, and they specially feed on blood and soul."
The winter solstice was surprised: "This kind of thing is everywhere?"
He Yu shook his head: "Actually, they are not difficult to deal with, but they are elusive, and they only know how to find weaknesses in human nature. The weaker ones are the ones we met in the enchantment just now. The stronger ones are what you see. Those who possessed the human body on the train and sucked the soul."
"Later, I heard from the boss that these monsters are strong when they are strong, and weak when they are weak. Whenever they appear suddenly, they must be summoned by a more powerful monster. They provide blood and soul for the monster. The body is to provide shelter, so that they can feed on people without any scruples.”
"But last time in Changbai Mountain, we have completely eliminated the bone dragon, and killed a lot of sneaky yaksa, and the monster hidden behind the scenes must have suffered a lot of backlash. Dare to show up."
The winter solstice pinched the two fluffy ears on He Yu's backpack. This was his subconscious habit when he was thinking, and the bear's head was about to be deformed by him.
"Then let me summarize, there are two possibilities. The first possibility is that there may also be a stone tablet here, and the other party is targeting the stone tablet."
He Yu snorted, not surprised, he also thought of this just now.
"The second possibility, as you said, the person who manipulated the sneaky Yaksha behind the scenes was attacked and might be seriously injured, so he must find a place to heal, right? The opponent's demonic energy is not as good as before, so he can only summon a limited number of knots. The low-level monsters in the world can no longer condense the sneaky Yaksha.
He analyzed it and said: "This corresponds to you asking Cheng Hui to help you with the divination. He is very likely to find some clues, and he made a mistake."
He Yu was stunned, apparently not thinking of this possibility.
Winter Solstice continued: "If he wants to **** the blood and soul of resentment, he must be in a place with many people, such as cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, where there are three religions and nine streams, and there are a lot of fish and dragons. "
He Yu asked back: "Then why not come to Guangzhou, which is closer to Changchun, in Beijing or Shanghai?"
Winter Solstice said seriously: "Because I remember you said that after the Special Administration Bureau was divided into four, the Southern Headquarters moved to Shanghai, and there were only offices in Guangzhou. If I were that person, I would definitely choose one that was far away from the Special Administration Bureau's sight. , and there are enough foreign populations, it is more convenient to start, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and even Hong Kong are good choices."
He Yu stared at him without speaking.
Winter Solstice was seen with hair all over his body, and the other party slapped him **** the shoulder.
"I didn't expect you to be so smart!"
Winter Solstice Black Line: "Do I look stupid?"
He Yu: "Next time, you should show your smartness in front of the boss more, so maybe he will be willing to open a back door for you!"
The winter solstice said that every time I was in front of your boss, I was so overwhelmed by his momentum that I forgot about the north, south, east, and west, and there was nothing else to say.
He Yu directly took the winter solstice's mobile phone and dialed Long Shen's number.
The phone rang for a long time, but Kan Chaosheng answered it.
"What happened? The boss helped you out of trouble today. It's too exhausting. You're resting now. What's the matter with you?"
He Yu knew that Long Shen estimated that the loss was not small, otherwise he would not even have to answer the phone calls.
"Can you help me wake him up? Urgent!"
Seeing Chaosheng didn't ask any further questions, after a while, another voice changed on the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?" Long Shen sounded tired.
The winter solstice was so tired that he didn't have the energy to listen to what He Yu said to Long Shen, so he fell asleep in a daze, until he was woken up the next day.
He Yu's spirit looked much better, and he was still in the mood to laugh at him: "You can really sleep, you can't wake up no matter what you say, I talked to the boss last night, and he can even hear your snoring!"
Winter Solstice was shocked: "Really?!"
He Yu said bitterly: "Of course it's fake, why are you so stupid and sweet! Little baby Dongdong, you are no longer the tall Dong Dong Qiang in my mind!"
winter solstice:……
Cheng Hui lost his soul, and his reaction became very slow. He sat cross-legged on the bed with a bun in his hands and nibbled at each other, quietly and not making trouble, and did not get involved in their bickering.
He Yu hit a stick and gave a sweet jujube, and quickly said: "I bought it for breakfast. On the table, there are soy milk fried dough sticks and sausage powder buns. You can take whatever you want to eat. In order to reward you for your hard work yesterday, brother will take you to eat at noon. Feast!"
The winter solstice didn't care about food, so he hurriedly asked, "What did Boss Long say last night, what should we do next?"
He Yu said: "A good news, a bad news, which do you want to hear?"
Winter Solstice: "...Bad news."
He Yu: "According to the portrait you provided last time, we used face recognition to finally find the mother and daughter of Xu Wan you mentioned. Their identities are not abnormal. It is true that Xu Wan divorced her husband a few years ago and brought her children with them. live alone."
Winter Solstice is strange: "That means they are not suspicious? What kind of bad news is that?"
He Yu: "A week ago, Xu Wan brought her daughter Chen Tong to Guangzhou."
The Winter Solstice was taken aback: "They are really related to the sneaky Yaksha?!"
He Yudao: "You met Xu Wan on the train, and it happened that there was a sneaky yaksha on the train. You met her in the hotel, and the hotel died. Later, Changbai Mountain, and now... There are many coincidences in the world. But there are very few coincidences to this extent. I even suspect that she wanted to attack you at first, and the bottle of water is the evidence, but it was later discovered by the boss, and she could only divert the target, so the flight attendant died. "
Winter Solstice murmured, "She became my scapegoat?"
He Yu shook his head: "No, I said that although your birthday horoscope is useful, it's not the easiest to attract monsters and ghosts. That flight attendant was born on the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the horoscope is full of yin, so it's more suitable than you."
Winter Solstice: "But later in the hotel, you are not here, she obviously has many opportunities, why not start with me?"
"because this."
He Yu took out a Mingguang Talisman and placed it on the table.
"We ruined her good deeds on the train. She must have been vigilant. If you have an accident, we will definitely trace her to her. Under those circumstances, she was eager to wake up the dragon corpse and would not cause more troubles, so you Just got away with it.”
He sighed: "But other people are not so lucky. The person who jumped to his death in the hotel later, and Yao Bin, must have killed a lot of people before that, and collected them along the way. Enough to wake up the blood of the resentful soul of the dragon corpse."
Thinking about how many times I met Xu Wan, even staying in a hotel in an adjoining room, a few times I almost survived, I shuddered at the winter solstice.
But why was he so vigilant against Xu Wansheng several times?
The winter solstice recalled carefully, and found that how she looked at Xu Wan at that time, she felt gentle and amiable, and even secretly felt that she was similar to her deceased mother, so she lost her vigilance again and again, even if she saw Xu Wan on Changbai Mountain later. , For a while, there was no doubt, but he thought that Xu Wan was also trapped and lost.
It was not until later, when He Yu and the others came down from Changbai Mountain, that they had been investigating the conspiracy behind the stone stele incident, and he told about his "random encounters" with Xu Wan twice in the hotel and on the mountain, and handed it over to He Yu and them. investigation.
Now that the times have changed, I can't help but feel a little scared.
Winter Solstice told He Yu about his feelings.
He Yu is not surprised: "It's not surprising, the devil is born to confuse people, if Xu Wan is really related to the monster, she just wants you to fall in love with her, and it can be done. It's just that we were too careless and didn't do it on the spot. Block the train inspection, otherwise maybe Yao Bin will not have an accident, fortunately, it is not too late to make up for it now."
The winter solstice comforted him: "She came prepared from the very beginning. First, she blamed the flight attendants to distract your attention, and even brought in the Japanese as a pretense. It was absolutely unintentional, and no one could have expected that. More."
He Yudao: "Is there someone else behind Xu Wan, or she is a monster, and now we have to find her to get the answer. After Xu Wan and her daughter came to Guangzhou, whether it is immigration, hotel registration and house rental There is no information about them, and I suspect they are registered with false documents and are hiding somewhere."
When I woke up in the morning, I heard such shocking news. The Winter Solstice said that I would drink two more sips of soy milk to suppress my shock.
"And what about the good news you just said?"
He Yu smiled and said, "Liu Anhuaming, before you got up, I used the local method from last night, based on the general orientation given by the chopsticks, and asked my brother's department to help with monitoring and investigation, and finally found the monitoring screen before Cheng Hui disappeared. "
The winter solstice gave a thumbs up: "The combination of Chinese and Western medicine has good curative effect, it's amazing my brother!"
He Yu fluttered his hair: "That's right, don't look at who is doing the business!"
Cheng Hui looked at him blankly, and suddenly said: "Fool..."
He Yu said angrily: "Shut up! You are an idiot, and now I am helping a big idiot to find a soul!"
Cheng Hui: "Big fool."
He Yu: …
The winter solstice is almost laughing.
Cheng Hui lost his soul and was slow to respond. From time to time, a word or two would come out of nowhere. He Yu didn't bother to bother with him, so he directly opened the map with his phone on the winter solstice and entered the location.
"The screen shows that Cheng Hui never came out after entering this alley that day. I didn't sense Cheng Hui's remnant soul near Liuhua Bridge. His remnant soul is probably still imprisoned somewhere, and now we can only From before he disappeared."
The winter solstice looked at the map: "The alleys in this kind of urban village are usually very narrow, and there is no surveillance. It is estimated that it will be difficult to check."
He Yudao: "The scope of the target has been narrowed as much as possible. Let's go over and take a look."
After finishing breakfast on the winter solstice, I feel that the strength lost by my body seems to have come back.
"Is there anything I can do for you?"
He Yu said: "I'm injured, you help me draw the talisman, let's prepare first, and then set off at night."
The winter solstice is very strange: "Isn't the yang qi more abundant during the day?"
He Yu replied: "The other party also knows this, and he will definitely choose to go out at night. When the night passes, it is easier for me to sense the magical energy."
The two of them quickly got busy, and things like drawing talismans required full attention, and I forgot both things, but they were not necessarily efficient enough.
When the evening was approaching, the winter solstice put down his pen, and he was already sweating profusely. His ability to draw talismans had improved a lot, but one out of ten could be used, which was already quite remarkable.
He Yu, on the other hand, used his own essence and blood to reinforce the orifices of these ten Mingguang Talismans, and he lost too much blood directly, and collapsed on the ground in a large font, gasping for breath.
"I regret it now..." He Yu's face was like golden paper, and he was dying, "I knew I should have brought Kan Chaosheng together, his blood is much more useful than mine!"
The winter solstice was a little worried: "If you are like this, can you still find someone at night?"
He Yu raised his hand weakly and made an OK gesture.
The winter solstice also lay on the ground and didn't want to get up: "What do you want to eat, I'll order takeout."
He Yu said: "No, I'll have someone send it over."
He made a phone call and ordered about a dozen dishes such as Buddha Jumps over the Wall, Ejiao Stewed Black Chicken, and Sea Cucumber Millet Porridge.
Winter Solstice Black Line said: "Can you eat so much? And the black-boiled chicken with donkey-hide gelatin is eaten by women, right?"
He Yu said confidently, "Blood and Qi, we need it now!"
Winter Solstice: "You are so cruel all of a sudden, is it because you can be reimbursed?"
He Yu said proudly: "My little Dongdong is smart. This incident has something to do with monsters, which means that the matter of Changbai Mountain is not over yet, it is a business matter, and the boss agrees to my reimbursement!"
The winter solstice couldn't stand him, a man with five big and three rough, but pretended to be cute: "Who is your family? Cheng Hui is your family!"
He Yu winked: "Then whose family are you? Boss?"
Winter Solstice blinked, paused, and said, "Why did you suddenly get involved with Boss Long?"
He Yu laughed: "Look at you nervous, the boss is so powerful, isn't it normal for you to worship him!"
During the conversation, the phone rang, He Yu went downstairs to pick up someone, and a young man was brought back in a short time.
The other person's hands were full of food, and as soon as the lunch box was opened, the aroma quickly filled the entire space.
He Yu introduced each other: "This is Lin Jun, from the Guangzhou office. This is the winter solstice."
The winter solstice smiled at the other party, but Lin Jun was very enthusiastic: "I don't know where Senior Brother Dong has inherited?"
He Yu said impatiently, "Eat first, I'm going to starve to death!"
Lin Jun had to shut up.
Three people, plus Cheng Hui, who lost his soul, the four of them swept away the food quickly.
After eating and drinking, He Yu stretched his legs and twisted his waist, looking much better than before.
He said to Lin Jun: "The incident happened suddenly, I'll ask you here. If the people from the East China Branch can come in time, you can ask them to find us at this address."
Lin Jun looked at the location sent by He Yu on the phone, nodded and said, "Senior Brother He, don't worry, Brother Cheng has me here to watch."
He Yu and their luggage were still in the hotel, but Lin Jun was enthusiastic and volunteered to go back and help them go to the hotel to bring their luggage.
On the winter solstice, I took a bath and changed my clothes, and I felt that my whole body was completely new.
He Yu explained to Lin Jun a few more words, and went out with the Winter Solstice.
Winter Solstice is very curious about Lin Jun. "Is he your junior brother?"
He Yu shook his head and said, "Senior brother is just a general term. He is a side member of the Lin family in Lingnan. He is average in ability.
The winter solstice said unexpectedly: "Do cultivators also have this kind of mess?"
He Yu rolled his eyes: "A cultivator is also a human being, and of course there is no shortage of flattery and intrigue. If he were more capable, there would be no need for the two of us to brave the devil's den. I have already sent an urgent request to Shanghai for help, I hope Can send a few reliable people over."
Bravely breaking into the devil's den is a very good word to use, and suddenly there is a sense of tragic and solemnity in the winter solstice.
The two took a taxi to the place they found before.
This is another urban village. It is very lively at night, but it is on the main road. Once you enter a small alley, there are no bright street lights, and the surrounding area immediately becomes dark. Sizzle.
"It's here." He Yu said.
They were standing in the alley.
The alley is indeed very narrow. The two self-built houses are next to each other. There is a gap in the middle. It is the alley. Some alleys are difficult for even one person to enter. , there are hotels, and mahjong parlors.
He Yu and the Winter Solstice first picked the nearest hotel and went in.
"Open room?"
The proprietress was sitting at the front desk watching a Korean drama. Out of the corner of the eye, he caught a glimpse of someone coming in, but he didn't take a closer look. He asked casually, then looked up at them after asking, and his expression immediately became meaningful.
winter solstice:……
Obviously you are talking without looking at people!
