Chapter 46: The Master’s Wife is a Man!

Duan Anluo slept until noon, and when he woke up, Si Cang was not there.

Duan Anluo asked angrily, "Leaving again? Good brothers can't talk about money. Once money is mentioned, the relationship has disappeared."

Xiaobai raised his tail, just like raising his hand: Go buy me some food.

Duan Anluo was silent for a moment, then flicked the tip of its tail, "Foodie! If you want to eat, go find it yourself!"

Little White has thick skin and flesh, so even a beating wouldn't hurt. Catching something is always faster than buying it. Besides, you might not be willing to let it eat something it caught.

It had previously eaten the ancestor of a spirit medium, who had cried for three days and nearly hanged himself in the president's office. Finally, Si Cang captured another wild spirit and returned it to the spirit medium disciple, and the matter was finally settled.

If it eats the wrong thing again, humans will cry again. It’s better to spend money to buy food.

Duan Anluo sent a message to Si Cang: Buy some fruit.

After distributing the masks, he lit a stick of incense and asked the immortals to find the collection room. Not many people collect old masks, so it should be easy to find.

The point is that there is a doll in the room where the masks are collected, and he suspects that the doll has run away now.

Ghosts think differently from humans. Any resentment they have will be magnified infinitely. Obsession will control their thoughts and make them stubbornly complete a certain task.

At the same time, they have power over humans and are not subject to human laws and moral constraints. It is impossible for them to stand obediently in the corner and be a neglected puppet.

Qi You took a small notebook and recorded the whole process of Duan Anluo recruiting the immortals. After just a few days, Qi You's mental state had changed. Although he was still short, dark and thin, he had a bright look in his eyes and could eat and run.

"Master, is the matter of the mask not over yet?"

"The mask has been dealt with, and now a moving puppet has appeared. I suspect something has happened to the collector. He may have died in front of these collectibles. These collectibles have been infected with ghost energy, which has given them self-awareness."

Although Qi You didn't understand, he still wrote this sentence down in his notebook and studied it slowly later.

Duan Anluo went to wash his face, and Qi You followed him like a little tail. He said with emotion: "Master, my master's wife is quite tall."

Duan Anluo smiled, "He's easy to talk to and won't bully children."

Qi You didn't know what to say. When he woke up in the morning, he was startled to see Si Cang coming out of his master's room.

The master introduced a lot, but he didn’t mention the key point - the master’s wife is a man!

He thought she was a beautiful fairy, but when he looked up and met Si Cang's eyes, Qi You didn't dare to say "Master's Wife" on the tip of his tongue and held it back.

Si Cang knew that this was Duan Anluo's apprentice, and he even gave Qi You three big meat buns at breakfast. He was too skinny, he didn't want to be fed to death by Duan Anluo. And that stupid guy, he was not getting enough nutrition, so his brain was so stupid.

Qi You and Jiang Yuan were full, but they didn't dare to say anything because they were both very stuffed.

Qi You touched his belly and really couldn't see why his master's wife was so easy to talk to. His master's wife didn't like to talk at all.

Not long after, Si Cang came back, followed by a bald uncle who drove a refrigerated truck carrying goods, bringing two cows, three sheep, three baskets of sea fish, and one basket of shrimp.

Si Cang was holding two boxes of lychees and handed them to Duan Anluo. "Fruit."

Duan Anluo's mouth twitched. "Did you go wholesale? How are you going to eat all this?"

Si Cang did go to the wholesale market. He was not familiar with the area nearby, so he asked people nearby and found out that there was a large wholesale market nearby that not only sold beef and mutton, but also various aquatic products, both wholesale and retail. People nearby went there to buy meat.

Originally, the boss wouldn't give these things away, but Si Cang didn't want to dirty his car, so he placed a year's supply order with the boss, adding shipping costs. The boss liked this kind of generous and long-term customer, so he immediately followed Si Cang here.

There were also fruit wholesalers in that market. When Si Cang received Duan Anluo's message, he threw several boxes into the car without thinking.

He never bought anything and had no concept of money. The Si family was wealthy and a string of numbers would appear in his account every day, but he had never counted the exact number.

He gives the boss whatever he wants. If the boss cannot meet his requirements, it means the money he gives is not enough.

Duan Anluo saw that the three refrigerators were full and said unhappily, "If you have too much money to spend, you can lend it to me."

Si Cang took out his phone and asked, "How much do you want?"

Duan Anluo could see that he really wanted to give it to her, but he felt embarrassed to accept it. "Wait until I catch that doll and see how much its owner sells it for. If it's not enough, I'll borrow from you."

Si Cang frowned, "What doll?"

"A big action figure that moves!"

Si Cang was speechless. He really didn't expect that Duan Anluo, at such an age, would like dolls.

After saying this, Duan Anluo felt something was wrong: Why are Si Cang's merits so similar to his own?

Merits are all golden, but the aura is different.

Duan Anluo looked at the palm of his hand, then looked at the top of Si Cang's head, and suddenly realized: "Why are my merits on you?!"

Si Cang's lips curled up, and his mood suddenly became better, "It's time to pay off the debt."

Duan Anluo became anxious just because he lost this one thing. All the merits he had accumulated for twenty years were gone, and he even wanted to kill Duan Anluo.

Duan Anluo walked around Si Cang and found that he could not get back the merit no matter what he did. Could he say that he had no intention of returning it?

It was too much and he couldn't afford it, so he planned to default on the debt, but the old bastard Tiandao acted on his own!

Then I heard Si Cang say, "I'm not leaving tonight. I'll continue collecting the bill."

Duan Anluo was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. When would he be able to pay it off? Would it take him a lifetime?

In the evening, the immortals brought back the information they had found. "We've found the location where the masks were collected, but the collector is dead. Now the one who inherited the masks is his son."

"I heard he died a horrible death. He was already smelling bad when he was found. He died in the collection room."

"That son of his is a real jerk. He's always gambling, and when he loses, he sells off the family's belongings. His father died just three days ago, and half of his collection has already been sold."

"I heard he reported the crime this morning. His house was burglarized and some things were stolen."

Duan Anluo asked: "Is it that puppet?"

"Yes! His father had a lot of collections, and the thief didn't steal any of them. He only stole the doll standing in the corner."

Duan Anluo suspected that it was not stolen by someone, but walked away on its own.

Since the Nuo opera mask can evoke resentment from its original owner under the influence of ghost energy, what about other things?

Duan Anluo decided to find help and called the guild to request logistical assistance.

You can't let yourself suffer just to make more money. If you think like this, what will the logistics staff eat?

When the guild members heard that one of the masks had caused paranormal events, they rushed to investigate the others.

The investigation was not a big deal. The logistics staff discovered that the collection room was filled with resentment and a spooky atmosphere. After the boss died, his strong resentment was absorbed by his beloved collection.

More than half of the masks had developed spiritual consciousness and were sold by his son at a low price. They quickly sent people to find them. The resentment must be purified, otherwise something bad would happen.

The most worrying thing is the corner. The level of ghost energy has reached the rare A-level, but the doll placed there is missing. We must find it as soon as possible!

The staff member asked, "There should be surveillance cameras in the collection room. Have you checked them?"

The collector's son was Liu Wu, who was in his twenties. He had a college diploma but couldn't find a job, so he went out to play with his friends every day.

He claimed to be an artist, dressed himself up in slicked-back powder, raised his orchid finger, and moved like a half-castrated eunuch. Smelling the sweat of the logistics guy, he pinched his nose and said impatiently, "There's surveillance, but it wasn't working that night, and there were a lot of snowflakes. Didn't you check it this morning? Why are you checking it again? When are you going to give us the results? The mask on that doll's face is very valuable!"

The logistics guy looked at him with disdain, what a spendthrift. His father just died, and the seventh day hadn't even passed yet, but he already sold the thing his father cared about the most. Wasn't he afraid that his father would come back and beat him?

They were too lazy to answer his question, "Where's the surveillance? Bring it over so we can take a look."

Normal people have no way to fix it, but they have a way.

Liu Wu also noticed that these people were different from the police in the morning, so he reluctantly took them to watch the surveillance footage.

After checking, the staff found that it was indeed interfered with by ghost energy. After clearing the ghost energy, the last clip appeared on the surveillance screen.

In the picture, Liu Wu hurriedly took out a mask without closing the door. After he went out, the puppet standing in the corner slowly raised its foot and took a step forward.

This movement made its whole body creak. It seemed that it was not very familiar with this body. After taking a few steps mechanically, its hands and feet began to move smoothly.

This scene frightened Liu Wu so much that he trembled. "How is this possible? How could it possibly move? I've seen it many times before, and it's just made of wood!"

The logistics guy was also mean, saying sinisterly, "Maybe he's been possessed by something. I heard your father died here."

These words frightened Liu Wu so much that his pupils shrank and his face turned pale.

His reaction caught the attention of the logistics guy, "You really didn't know when your father died?"

Liu Wu shook his head in panic, "I don't know! I was with my friend, and he was dead when I came back. I don't know anything!"

At this time, the puppet on the screen had walked to the door. It suddenly stopped, slowly raised its head, and after a slight pause, tilted its head back 120 degrees!

Liu Wu was so frightened that she screamed, "It's alive! It's really alive! Did it kill my father?!"

The puppet used this strange posture and gave a mocking smile to the surveillance screen, as if mocking Liu Wu at the moment, and then it walked out by itself.

A few minutes later, Liu Wu in the picture ran back, locked the door and left without even looking at the things in the collection room.

The picture disappeared, and Liu Wu was already shaking with fear. He stood there, inexplicably thinking of his father's death, and began to feel cold all over.

Before his father died, he and his father were having a conflict. He was really short of money and wanted to sell his collections, but his father wouldn't let him.

The father and son had a quarrel and he ran away from home.

Unexpectedly, after he left, his father suffered a heart attack and died in this collection room that day.

His father called him twice that night, but he didn't answer. Three days later, when he came back to ask his father for money, his father had already died.

The temperature here is obviously not high, it has always been around the normal temperature of 24 degrees Celsius, but his father just smells strangely!

The more Liu Wu thought about it, the more frightened he became. Did his father turn into a ghost and come back to find him? Could that doll be his father?

The logistics guy saw that he was feeling guilty, and "kindly" comforted him: "We specialize in handling strange cases, you don't have to be afraid, there are not so many ghosts."

This statement was ambiguous. People are afraid of doing something wrong and afraid of scaring themselves. Liu Wu was so scared that he took two steps back, with cold sweat on his forehead.

The young man was still muttering to himself, "Our ancestors said the seventh day is the night when the soul returns. This is his favorite place when he was alive. He might come back to visit... I see that most of the houses are sold out now. Oh, he must be so sad."

Liu Wu was already scared, and when she heard this she burst into tears, "Stop talking!"

The logistics guy spread his hands. Can’t he even talk to himself?

The more Liu Wu thought about it, the more scared he became. The fear made him not want to stay here for even a second. He wanted to leave!

The logistics guy wanted to mutter a few more words when he saw Liu Wu running away.

The younger brother was so angry that he laughed, "You don't want your father's things anymore? Come back!"

The logistics department told Duan Anlu what they had found out. They accepted the case and uploaded it directly to the system. It was handled as an A-level supernatural case, and 200,000 yuan was directly transferred to the team after the case was closed.

Logistics is responsible for finding people, and Duan Anluo is responsible for getting rid of them. He does the most dangerous work, so he can get half of the money.

The remaining logistics team members could each get a lot of money, which made them very motivated and they all went to look for clues.

It is difficult to find during the day, so they wait until night when the yin energy is heavy, amplify the captured ghost energy, and use high-tech equipment to search the whole city.

Duan Anluo calmly waited for news, slowly carving a pendant for Si Cang. Qi You was a little anxious, "Master, is there nothing we can do but wait?"

Duan Anluo told him: "Calmness is the cornerstone of everything you do. If the cornerstone is shaky, nothing you do will be stable. Just wait, we must trust in the ability of logistics. Look at your master's wife, how calm she is."

When Qi You saw this, he was convinced that his master's wife had actually fallen asleep while sitting!

Si Cang doesn't smoke, drink, play games, or watch TV series... He is not even interested in money.

His life consisted of working out and sleeping. He could go without sleep for three days while working, and sleep for three days straight after work. His life was as simple as plain water.

In addition, the magnetic field here in Duan Anluo is clean, so Si Cang sleeps whenever he has the chance, just like he is healing his wounds.

Duan Anluo admired Si Cang. Who doesn't have a hobby? Si Cang didn't have one.

He is different. He has many hobbies and changes one every three to five days, faster than changing new clothes.

At 11 o'clock in the evening, a tavern with ancient characteristics was opening for business.

This store is right below the cinema. The owner is very good at marketing and has made it a famous online celebrity store. It is open until five in the morning.

At this time, most of the customers entering this store are young people who come to eat after watching a movie. It is so late, and there are fewer and fewer people. The waiter wiped the table and saw a new model standing in the corner.

There are heroes in ancient costumes, old men in straw raincoats, and heroic female heroes.

In the most secluded corner, a model wearing a red costume and a Huadan mask looked very beautiful. But there was a little dust on her shoulder, and I didn't know where it got from.

The waiter took a clean rag, wiped the dust off the mannequin, and praised it: "When did you buy this new mannequin? It looks so beautiful!"

When her colleague heard her, he replied, "The boss just bought three and put them in the corner. He hasn't had time to find a place for them yet."

The waiter was stunned. Three? Shouldn't it be four?

Before she could ask, a man and a woman came in through the door. She didn't bother to worry about such a small problem and thought that her colleague must have remembered it wrong.

"Please sit wherever you want. What would you like to eat?" She went over with the menu, and heard the man say, "Let's eat something and go home quickly. Han Yi is rushing me."

The woman pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Are you going back just because I urge you? You promised to accompany me tonight. Once you marry her, you will have even less time to go out."

The man quickly coaxed her: "Don't be angry, I will go back and coax her. She is so smart that she can be coaxed with just a few words. I can still accompany you after we get married."

The girl was cheered up by these words and pointed at the model wearing ancient costume standing by the window. "The model's clothes are so beautiful. I want to buy some clothes like that and go out to take pictures and check in."

"I'll buy you one."

"Who looks better in it, me or Han Yi?"

The man lowered his voice and said meaningfully: "You are good-looking, but Han Yi is not as big as you."

The girl was laughing while hitting the guy, which looked more like flirting. The waiter was so disgusted that he rolled his eyes. These two people didn't look like a serious couple!

She has seen a lot of people like this. Some men can come twice a day, with one girlfriend during the day and another girlfriend at night, and they watch the same fucking movie.

The man then said: "You two always play together during the day, don't tell anyone, her family will soon separate the rooms, wait until I get married..." The man stopped talking and gave the woman a look, meaning that you know.

The woman blinked and said, "Don't worry."

After the waiter saw them ordering the dishes, he immediately took out his phone and cursed in the group: One of them is a scumbag and the other is a bitch. The most pitiful one is the girl who was cheated on. Both her boyfriend and her best friend cheated on her!

The waitress was so busy cursing that she didn't notice the model she had wiped clean in the corner. Her head, which was originally looking forward, suddenly turned to the side, and she looked at the scumbag and bitch with a sinister look. Her bright red lips curled up in a sarcastic smile.

When the two of them finished their meal and left, two figures appeared in the girl's shadow...

The author has something to say:

I have something going on at home, so I'm sorry for posting so late. I'm writing tomorrow's update now, and I'll try to post it earlier tomorrow.
