Chapter 19
"Wait."
Chu Yueqing let go of the straw and held the milk tea cup instead, asking kindly.
"Do you really want to uncover it? I think you'd better turn on the power of the baton first."
Li Huiwen had already seen the power of the immobilization talisman, and nodded repeatedly: "Yes, sir, you'd better turn on the power of the baton first."
Du Miao's body wrapped in a towel shrank, and her expression obviously changed from confusion to fear.
Seeing them so nervous, the sir was confused.
"Electrify? Why? An ordinary decoration, can it bite people?"
The madam next to her naturally didn't want to let the girl suffer grievances, patted the squatting sir on the shoulder, and praised her intimately, "You are really thoughtful. You must be worried about the process of arresting the criminal and the prisoner waking up."
As she said, the madam took off the baton on her waist and pushed the switch button up.
"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents with us police officers here."
Li Huiwen breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that the baton had been electrified.
The sir thought the three girls were simply weird, shook his head, and tore off the yellow talisman with his hand.
Du Shaoren's stiff eyes rolled, and the moment the talisman was torn off, he shouted angrily, raised the fruit knife and aimed it at the veins on the sir's neck.
Things happened too fast.
Madam didn't react quickly, and no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't figure out why the unconscious prisoner suddenly woke up and attacked people.
Li Huiwen quickly grabbed the baton and hit Du Shaoren on the head. The high voltage caused the fruit and knife to fall to the ground, and Du Shaoren fainted completely.
Li Huiwen turned off the power button, turned the baton in a circle and handed it back to Madm, "Fortunately, nothing happened."
If she hadn't been close, at least one policeman would have died in the situation just now.
The police present were dumbfounded.
What did they just see.
After the yellow talisman paper was torn off, the unconscious prisoner actually woke up and almost killed one of their guys?
Especially the sir who almost died, looking at the torn yellow talisman, he felt a strong shock, no, it was frightened.
His voice trembled: "Don't you say... it's just a decoration?"
Chu Yueqing put the milk tea cup on the table, bent down to take the talisman paper away, and smiled: "You are right, it is indeed just an ordinary decoration."
"So, it's not a talisman?" The sir was confused.
"Are you kidding?" Chu Yuexi smiled, "Sir, in this case, you may need to go to the psychiatric department for evaluation first."
The three policemen escorted the prisoner away in a daze.
Li Huiwen comforted Du Miao, and Chu Yuexi stretched out her hand, put two white and slender fingers together on Du Miao's forehead, and slowly drew a talisman.
"What is it?" Li Huiwen was curious. "
The talisman for collecting shock." After drawing, Chu Yuexi took two sips of milk tea, "Suitable for people who are frightened."
Du Miao's fate of early death according to her face has changed.
Chu Yuexi saw that she was in deep trouble, and after thinking about it, she decided to persuade her. After all, changing fate is not an easy thing.
"In your original destiny, after this happened, you couldn't accept the fact and chose to commit suicide. Your limited life will end at dawn tonight. Now everything has changed. Focus on the future and don't be obsessed with the past."
Du Miao gradually came to her senses and reflected on everything that had happened, with tears on her face, "Master Chu, thank you very much. Otherwise, my future would be hopeless."
Once this really happened, Du Miao would choose to end her life without hesitation.
But now, everything has changed.
"Master Chu is right, I have to be strong. Fortunately, I am already 18 years old and no longer need a guardian."
"What are you going to do in the future?" Chu Yueqing asked.
"I will probably go abroad to continue studying art." Du Miao wiped her tears, and she only wanted to get away from this place that made her sick.
At the moment she decided to sit down, Du Miao's face changed again.
She will have a very high status in the art world in the future.
Chu Yueqing smiled: "I wish you a bright future first."
"Look at me." Li Huiwen's denim jacket was cut on the right arm, and a large piece of denim fabric was hanging down. Because of the fight, her hair was already a mess, but she didn't care and raised the camera.
"Can I take a picture of you?"
The two looked at the camera. Chu Yueqing bent down and put her arms around Du Miao's shoulders, which were covered with a towel, and raised the cup of milk tea. Her watery lychee eyes were full of smiles.
"Okay!"
There was a click.
The picture was frozen.
A white Toyota Corolla was parked, and all the windows were open to ensure air circulation. There were many mosquitoes at the door of the villa, and the driver swatted them one after another. Seeing that the police took the criminal away but the person he was waiting for had not come out yet, he could not help but urge him.
"Brother Ming, why hasn't the dessert stand owner come out yet?"
Zhong Guoming placed his plastered leg horizontally on the mat, and lay in the back seat with his whole body bent like a tapeworm.
He was sweating, and waving his arms to chase away the mosquitoes that came in and wanted to take the opportunity to suck his blood. His lumbar spine felt so painful that it seemed like it was broken, but he still overcame the difficult conditions. "What dessert stand owner? Master Chu, you have been driving for me for several years, why are you still so naive?"
The forty-year-old driver who was said to be naive was silent for a rare time.
"I told you long ago that only Master Chu can save my life now. It's only been a few hours. Even if Master Chu wants me to wait for two more days, I can afford it."
The driver sighed: "Brother Ming, you only believed in science and physics before."
"Yes." Zhong Guoming said indifferently, "Isn't the end like this now? You can see it too. Do you want to lie in the hospital together?"
Driver: ...
"Bang."
The passenger door was opened and Chu Yueqing got in the car.
Zhong Guoming asked politely: "Master, are you done?"
"Yes." After Chu Yueqing accepted Zhong Guoming's commission, she wanted to accompany him to the construction site to check the situation. As a result, halfway through, her sixth sense suddenly became bad. She counted on her fingers and calculated that Du Miao was in danger, so she stopped along the way.
She looked at Zhong Guoming, who was bent over like a worm in the back seat, and felt sorry, "I kept you waiting."
"It's okay." Zhong Guoming wiped the sweat off his face and pretended to be relaxed, "It's okay as long as it doesn't delay the master's work. It's okay if the space is a bit crowded."
The car slowly drove towards Sai Kung.
The farther we drove towards Sai Kung, the more desolate the scenery became, and the mountains gradually increased.
Finally, the car drove into a busy section of the road again. A tall commercial building stood beside the highway, and across the street was a large construction site under construction, covering an area of more than 100,000 square meters.
The roar of the machines was deafening, and thousands of workers were crowded inside to work.
Chu Yue-hsiung got out of the car and saw the black air above the construction site. She asked, "What are you going to build?"
"A shopping mall." With the help of the driver and two workers, Zhong Guo-ming half-sat on the gantry again. "The boss wants to build the largest shopping mall in Sai Kung. I'll take you to the construction site to have a look."
Chu Yue-hsiung followed behind. As soon as she stepped into the concrete building, she felt uncomfortable. It seemed that a heavy burden was pressing down on her shoulders. She walked further inside and found that the black air above the construction site was not a problem on any particular floor. It seemed to rise from the ground and reach the sky.
"What are you going to do with this location?"
"The parking lot. This place is relatively central. You can take a look inside." Zhong Guo-ming replied.
"No need." Chu Yue-hsiung stopped and looked forward.
The dark atmosphere in the parking lot was even worse.
A series of noisy, unheard-of noises, mixed with the sound of iron chains, echoed through the construction site.
More than a dozen souls were tied to the concrete floor with iron chains, two of them were headless, and two of them were limbless. One of them saw someone coming and slowly turned its head. Its face was covered with melted flesh and blood, and its pale eyeballs were connected by blood vessels and hung outside its eye sockets.
It was panting and trying to come over. Just as it raised its hands, it was pulled back by the thick iron chain and howled in pain.
The air was filled with the stench of rotting seafood.
Zhong Guoming pinched his nose, "Ever since the bloody soil was dug out, the parking lot has always had this fishy smell."
"That's because something is buried underneath." Chu Yueqing retracted his gaze and looked at the structure on the top of the parking lot. The ghost energy emanating from the imprisoned souls all went upwards.
After observing for a while, he asked.
"How many people died?"
"Thirteen." Zhong Guoming was in a bad mood when he recalled the dead co-workers. "Various accidents, some were crushed by cement machines, some had their hands and feet cut off, and some had their heads cut off."
Chu Yue counted them. "No more, no less, all are here."
Zhong Guoming's back was covered with goosebumps. "Master Chu, are you saying that their ghosts are all here?"
The imprisoned souls stopped howling, and like bees attracted by nectar, they turned their stiff heads in an instant, staring at Zhong Guoming with penetrating eyes, and the hoarse code words echoed and repeated over and over again.
"Can you see it?"
"Help."
"I don't want to be trapped here."
The sad voices became more and more.
Chu Yueqing stopped Zhong Guoming from saying any more, "They have deep resentment."
Ghosts are also divided into levels. Low-level ghosts simply cannot condense their strength, but those with heavy resentment can.
These are all.
They are trapped here, unable to live or to die.
A ghost was about to break free from the confinement, and the earth suddenly shook. A long scarlet tongue with mucus quickly stretched out from the dark ceiling. The scarlet tongue wrapped around the ghost and quickly disappeared.
After a while.
Two golden gas floated out of the black air and slowly drilled out of the black air circle.
Chu Yueqing retracted her gaze, her expression was not very good.
"Things are very troublesome."
She pointed to the concrete ceiling of the parking lot, and then pointed to the concrete floor below.
"There are two arrays here, one to trap ghosts, and the other to devour human lives."
Zhong Guoming's face suddenly turned pale, thinking that his life was in danger, and he laughed miserably: "Master Chu, no matter what, please save me."
Chu Yueqing shook her head: "Now it's not just you, the array won't close until it has swallowed enough people."
Both arrays are relatively large, one for imprisonment and the other for devouring. It is difficult to break the array with bare hands without finding the person who set up the array.
"More people will die on the construction site, and work must be stopped." Chu Yueqing looked at the thousands of workers working and was very worried.
Seeing the situation was so critical, Zhong Guoming hurriedly said: "I will contact the boss later and apply for a work stoppage."
As soon as he finished speaking.
A series of hurried footsteps came from the concrete floor upstairs.
Soon, a group of workers came down, surrounded by a 50-year-old white man with blue eyes and curly hair.
"Stop work?" When the Western boss heard the word "stop work", he got angry in broken Cantonese: "Are you the only one who will bear the losses of the construction site?"
"The land has been bought, and the bank has been withdrawn. If the workers don't start working, when do you want me to make money?"
Zhong Guoming hurriedly explained the two life-threatening formations on the construction site.
During the conversation, he spoke both English and Cantonese.
Chu Yueqing stood aside.
The Western boss was obviously angry and yelled at Zhong Guoming: "I don't care about formations or ghosts. Superstition is a tradition of you Chinese people, I don't believe in these."
"Tomorrow, I will ask a professional architect to check the structure. The work will never stop. As for you, if you don't want to do it, you can resign at any time! This place can't be turned around without a person in charge!"
Zhong Guoming was very embarrassed. Thinking of the life-threatening situation, he still wanted to convince the boss.
The Western boss ignored him and called his younger brother to come over to supervise the work.
Chu Yueqing said: "If you insist on starting the work, you can't regret it if it causes irreversible consequences."
This formation was originally set up on private land and has the greatest impact on the owner.
"Regret?" The Western boss sneered: "How can I regret working and making money? I will only smile when I dream."
"I hope so." Chu Yue smiled faintly and moved aside to let people pass.
Zhong Guoming looked at the Western boss who was leaving. He felt helpless because of the frustration. But he thought of the workers who were still working. He couldn't bear to see the lives of the workers disappear one by one, so he asked people to carry a stretcher and persuade the workers to leave
one by one. But the workers refused to leave and complained.
"Brother Ming, many of us don't have ID cards. We can only survive in Hong Kong by relying on this job."
"Yes, we have wives and children waiting for money in the mainland. We are so poor that we can't survive. What's the point of living?"
"Brother Ming, don't worry. If something really happens, we will never blame you."
"Just let us do it."
Zhong Guoming saw that he couldn't persuade them to leave, and gradually felt desperate. Finally, he placed his hope on Chu Yueqing.
"Many of the workers here are illegal workers from the mainland. The wages in Hong Kong are several times higher than those in the mainland, and they come here just to make more money. Illegal workers don't have ID cards, and the situation has been tense recently, so they all hide in the parking lot. They sleep and work in the same place. If something happens, they will be the first to die."
"Master Chu, please save them."
Chu Yueqing looked at the golden gas floating towards the towering commercial buildings across the street, thinking, and looked back: "Don't worry, I will do my best."
Causeway Bay.
Outside a food stall on Yongxiang Street of the Industrial College.
Qiao Xing leaned outside a telephone booth, and the classmates who followed him squatted on the side of the road.
Shan Caijun took the note with the address, compared it with the road signs to confirm the location, and finally turned back.
"It should be this food stall."
Two male classmates answered.
"Your girlfriend works in a food stall?"
"You have to be sure."
"That's right." Shan Caijun put away the note and thought of his girlfriend who was about to meet with a faint smile on his face. "When I called in Malaysia before, I could hear her background sound being very noisy. I also asked her, and she was indeed in the catering industry."
Shan Caijun became worried again.
The location was found.
But how to determine which person it is?
You must know that Shan Caijun has never met a real person once.
Qiao Xing looked around and knocked on the transparent plastic cover of the phone booth, "Why don't you try it if you have a phone?"
Shan Caijun thought it made sense and took out a dollar from his wallet.
suddenly.
A bell rang, and the pigeons that had been pecking at the bricks were frightened away. A group of nuns in black dresses lined up.
Several people looked over.
Ah Feng thought it was strange: "Why are there so many nuns in Causeway Bay?"
"Isn't there a Catholic church over there?" Another classmate Ah Xing answered.
Qiao Xing always had a good memory. After seeing a certain face, she quickly patted Shan Caijun on the shoulder and said, "Look, is that your girlfriend in the photo?"
Shan Caijun quickly took out the photo to compare, and after a while he confirmed: "It's her. Hey, you know her face better than me."
"I have a good memory, I don't mean anything else." Qiao Xing explained quickly to avoid causing other misunderstandings.
"Don't be nervous." Shan Caijun didn't care, "Anyway, they were all deceived, it has nothing to do with me."
After that, Shan Caijun went to the phone booth to make a call.
Ah Feng and Ah Xing chatted secretly.
"I really saw someone."
"Could it be that she is really here?"
"If that's the case, doesn't the goddess at the dessert stall really know how to tell fortunes?"
"No way, is she really that accurate?"
"Brother Xing." Ah Feng asked, "If the goddess really knows how to tell fortunes, what are you going to do?"
Qiao Xing was thinking about his eldest brother's illness at home. He always thought that his eldest brother's illness was very strange. If Sister Chu really knows how to tell fortunes, shouldn't he let her go and have a look?
His thoughts were interrupted and he raised his head.
"I'll say it again, Sister Chu is not a topic for you to discuss. Don't bring her up again and again."
"Oh." Ah Feng shut up.
At this time, the landline phone was finally connected.
The three saw with their own eyes that a tall and mighty man with a full beard answered the phone in the food stall.
Shan Caijun saw the person who answered the phone and wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Hello, I'm looking for Ruyi."
"Wait, I'll call her out." After the man finished speaking, Shan Caijun unconsciously let out a big sigh of relief.
The man put down the phone, ran inside and shouted, "Ruyi, answer the phone!"
Shan Caijun thought of his girlfriend, and his expectation was raised again. He stared at the food stall without blinking.
Finally.
The man turned around and ran around twice, and finally returned to the landline to answer the phone again.
This time, the man pinched his throat and squeezed a smile on his face.
"Ajun, right? I'm Ruyi."
Shan Caijun heard the sweet and lovely voice that he had fantasized about countless nights, and the whole person was struck by lightning.
Ruyi...
that man is Ruyi?
This is not over yet.
The nun entered the food stall and saw the man answering the phone and yelled, "Dad."
Shan Caijun was petrified, his expression gradually becoming confused.
He had thought of being cheated by others, but he had never thought of being cheated by a father and daughter.
"Hahaha, Ruyi! I think it's Ruhua!"
Ah Feng laughed out loud and said something sarcastically, "Brother Jun, you are still lucky. You are a father and daughter soldier on the battlefield, and both of them serve you. It's really enjoyable!"
Shan Caijun was speechless. The boy who missed his girlfriend for countless days and nights and looked forward to kissing his girlfriend was completely dead. It turned into anger of being deceived.
The more Shan Caijun thought about it, the more he couldn't bear it. He smashed the phone and rushed to the food stall.
Qiao Xing was shocked and rushed forward to hug Shan Caijun. Seeing that Ah Feng hadn't moved yet, he kicked him and said, "Why don't you come and help!"
The three of them held Shan Caijun down together.
The huge noise attracted the father and daughter in the food stall. The nun was so scared that she made a cross on her chest and said Amen.
Shan Caijun's face turned red with anger. He kept pressing down the three locked hands and pointed at the bearded man and cursed.
"Fuck you!"
"Even Jesus can't save you today!"
