Daytime Horror
Yuan An's fearless fighting style made those who often acted as thugs feel fear in their hearts.
Later, seeing the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth was even more horrifying. I always felt that he would die in front of me in the next second.
"You're lucky." The burly man said lightly, holding his almost dislocated wrist, and called his brothers to leave quickly to the edge of the small park.
"Thank you, little brother. My last name is Wang, you can just call me Lao Wang." The man on the ground rubbed his waist, stood up with a grin, and raised a hand for him to support.
Yuan Anquan also suffered a lot of injuries all over his body. When standing next to him, it was difficult to tell who was the victim.
He extended his hand to the other person so that he could see his face clearly.
The man was about forty or fifty years old and still had his hair tied up. Although it looked much looser now, one could still vaguely make out that it was in the shape of a bun.
Yuan An asked, "Do you live nearby? I'll take you home."
"Let's go to the hospital first. Your wound needs to be treated."
Lao Wang pointed to his forehead and told him that someone was holding a big rock and was obviously hit while moving. Bright red blood was oozing out.
"No need, I can take care of myself." When Yuan An thought about the medical expenses, he didn't dare to go to the hospital at this time.
Lao Wang understood his current predicament: "You were injured because of me. I should pay for your medical expenses and nutrition expenses. You don't have to worry about it."
It was a normal statement, but Yuan An, who had just experienced verbal humiliation, felt that it was pitiful for him.
He frowned slightly: "No need."
Lao Wang has been working in society for many years, and he can tell exactly what this kind of young man is like. He doesn't know the details, but he must have experienced some life-doubting experiences.
So he put his arm around his waist like a brother and said, "We've been through hardships together, so we're brothers now. Why would we bother with such things? Look, I'm injured too, so just treat it as taking me to the hospital. Besides, wasn't that what you wanted to do in the first place?"
Yuan An took a deep breath. On the way to the hospital, after repeated indirect conversations and inquiries from Lao Wang, Yuan An finally told Lao Wang everything that happened today.
"What a poor kid," Old Wang sighed. "Do you want to make a lot of money? I have a way to make money."
Seeing that Yuan An had no intention of asking further questions, Lao Wang continued, "It's fortune-telling for people. It's much more leisurely than delivering food."
Yuan An thought about the beating he had just received and for once, he wised up: "So, those people beat you up because of this?"
"After doing this for a long time, it's inevitable that I'll make mistakes. Getting hit a few times is nothing. Even if you hadn't come, they wouldn't dare to beat me to death. At most, they would just injure me."
Lao Wang told Yuan An some insider secrets about this business. After hearing about the high profits and high returns, Yuan An was really tempted.
I thought it would be very profitable, but I didn't expect it to be this profitable.
Especially after Lao Wang talked about other people's blind worship of this industry, he felt that he should give it a try.
This way, you won't be looked down upon, and there won't be a scene of servility like today.
"Can I really try it?" Yuan An asked tentatively.
Lao Wang saw the desire in the young man's eyes. Only people like him could last longer in this industry.
"certainly."
From then on, Yuan An began to learn about the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams and learned about Yin and Yang and Feng Shui through Lao Wang.
Unexpectedly, things went smoothly beyond his expectation. As for the conscience in his heart, it was soon eroded by those red bills.
Lao Wang was just a stepping stone. After becoming a Feng Shui master, he relied on the bigwigs in the industry to enter new fields.
Yuan An learned more about the real Taoist techniques and began to understand that this business was not entirely a scam and that ghosts and gods really did exist in this world.
The best way to establish prestige among those who believe in gods and Buddhas is to demonstrate one's ability to know the will of heaven.
After ordinary practitioners have cultivated to a certain level, they can achieve the effect of seeing through the secrets of heaven and know the future fortunes and living conditions of others.
But you must never tell anyone about it, otherwise the cultivator who reveals the secret will die young.
However, there are loopholes in this restriction, and the cost is lifespan. However, as long as you don't cast the spell yourself, your lifespan will not be affected.
Some people came up with the idea of raising evil spirits to avoid loopholes.
This can be considered as cooperation in a sense. When the evil ghost devours other ordinary ghosts, it is equivalent to carrying several lives in its body before digestion is complete.
Based on this, spells are cast to glimpse the future of mankind.
Yuan An was only responsible for leaking the secret, and it was not considered the secret he saw himself, so naturally the retribution would not fall on him. Those ghosts had been eaten long ago, let alone any retribution.
As for the reason why the evil ghost was willing to help him, it was because Yuan An could regularly provide the evil ghost with fresh ghosts to feed it, so as to increase its cultivation.
Since we are cooperating, we must be sincere.
In the early days, Yuan An would use secret methods to find ghosts wandering around the human world, and he made a lot of money by doing so.
At this time, he was no longer the rookie boy he used to be, and had already moved out of the basement.
He has countless cars and houses in his name, but what makes him most satisfied is that every day when he wakes up, there are countless messages on his mobile phone asking about his well-being.
Others have to queue up to see him, and when they actually meet him, they are just respectful to him.
Greedy people always want to get more. Yuan An adapts to and enjoys such an environment.
The good times did not last long. With the reform of the ghost world and the establishment of the Double Management Bureau, there were fewer and fewer ghosts wandering in the human world.
Yuan An could only think of other ways. Since ghosts could not be found in the human world, and it would be too obvious for a living person like him to enter the ghost world, he set his sights on the buffer zone.
Humans can come and go freely here, but ghosts have restrictions on their movements, which is extremely convenient for him.
A plan quickly formed in his mind. He took the evil spirit into the buffer zone in human form and avoided the screening of the ban.
Then he created the illusion that the evil ghosts were attacking other ghosts, and then appeared as a Taoist priest to subdue the evil ghosts.
The method was very effective. The evil ghost had been well fed recently and had been able to conduct a lot more business transactions. His reputation as "Knowing the Destiny" was also becoming more and more famous.
I just didn't expect something to go wrong this time.
After being discovered by Ji Qu, he didn't know what kind of punishment he would face.
After listening to him, Ding Can felt that Yuan An was quite legendary to some extent.
I was able to reach where I am today, but my heart wasn’t focused on the right path.
Ji Qu had already learned the truth and there was no need for him to stay here. He took out a shiny rope and threw it at Yuan An, and the rope automatically tied around him.
"He can't move freely now. Just leave him here and wait for the human world to come."
Gao Wenwen asked again worriedly, "Will he really not act like a demon again?"
Ji Qu glanced over coldly, and Gao Wenwen immediately shut up: "I was wrong."
From the few words Yuan An said just now, he vaguely knew that the ghost messenger in front of him named Ji Qu was a very powerful person.
We shouldn't question this great god.
"Did you come from the human world with them?" The "they" Ji Qu was referring to were the people in the villa.
It seems that there are some doubts about their identities.
Ding Can remembered asking Chen Tang what she was thinking at the villa at that time. She obviously didn't feel anything strange about the world she was in because of her low spiritual power.
So, is it possible that Ji Qu, who they think is at the top position, could have anticipated the existence of the system?
"We are all crew members. We just happened to help out a little bit just now." Xia Jialian's voice was almost flat.
Ji Qu noticed Ding Can's frequent glances at him and looked back with a frown.
He didn't say anything, but his expression was questioning.
Ding Can just smiled and said, "I wasn't looking at you. I was just thinking about a strange dream I had last night. It felt like my previous life was artificially created, and I was just in a virtual world."
"Looking at this now, it's really unreal."
Ji Qu lowered his eyes, as if thinking about what she said. After a while, he said, "Nonsense."
If you really think what you said is unbelievable, there wouldn't be such a long pause.
But the reason why he is unwilling to say it is probably because he feels there is no need to tell someone like himself.
Yes, they are just some small soldiers and generals.
But still feeling a little disrespected, Ding Can added: "I'm just kidding. Actually, it's because the Ghost Envoy is so tall and mighty that anyone who sees him would be amazed."
Shi Yan couldn't help laughing and let out a few groans.
Ji Qu's eyelids closed for two seconds and then opened again. After some inner patience, he thought that this human woman had just spoken a little frivolously, but strictly speaking, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her.
He couldn't do any teeth grinding.
"In that case, I'll leave first."
Ji Qu waved his robe, and unlike when he first appeared, he turned into a ball of black mist and disappeared on the spot.
The three ghosts of the rich family in the villa still bowed their heads slightly to see him off during the short time that Ji Qu disappeared.
"So he's a charlatan, a charlatan who doesn't even let ghosts go. I guess those poor ghosts didn't expect they could die a second time."
Gao Wenwen frowned and spoke, feeling that what Yuan An did was really inhumane.
I don’t know what kind of spell Ji Qu cast just now. Yuan An is not only unable to move, but he can’t even make a sound when he opens his mouth. He can only look at the person in front of him fiercely.
My cousin slowly woke up at this time. I don’t know if it was because it was really time to wake up, or if the evil spirit that had previously had a mental impact on him had been eliminated, and the shadow and pressure on his nerves also disappeared.
He seemed to have suddenly regained consciousness, no longer in a daze as before. After grabbing Gao Wenwen beside him, he excitedly said to him: "I saw a ghost, I saw a ghost!"
Of course everyone knew that he had seen a ghost and was even possessed by it.
"Okay, okay, I know. It's safe now. The ghost has been eliminated."
My cousin looked around like a frightened bird, and when he saw Yuan An, he instinctively shrank back, remembering the scene of him being unilaterally beaten by him just now.
Shi Yan breathed a sigh of relief: "It's really safe now, let's go back to the villa."
The few of them ignored Yuan An, left him where he was, and returned to the villa.
What is worth celebrating is that the moment I stepped into the hospital, I received a reminder from the mobile app.
Each of them completed the side mission, ensured personal safety outside, and received a reward of 200 points.
