Chapter 013 The man with his own BGM
A black car drove slowly and stopped at the gate of Xingfu Community.
I don't know who turned on the stereo, and a very powerful piece of music suddenly sounded, causing the uncles and aunts to turn their heads frequently, wanting to see who on earth had such good taste.
As the music played, the front door opened, a leather-shoe-wearing foot stepped on the ground, followed by a pair of slender legs. A tall man in a suit got out of the passenger seat. He was handsome, with a smile on his face, and looked like a successful person.
This successful person carries a stereo on his shoulder, and the powerful and tasteful music comes from the stereo.
Three men dressed as bodyguards came down from the back row. They wore sunglasses and lowered their heads so that their faces could not be seen clearly. They each held a silver suitcase and moved in unison. They followed the man in the suit silently without saying a word.
Grandpa and Mom: My pupils are shaking.
This group of people really didn't look like they were selling insurance, but rather they were conducting some secret transaction. Seeing the man in a suit walking straight towards him, the community security guard panicked, and his hand holding the electric baton behind him trembled slightly.
The man smiled kindly and reached out to turn off the stereo. The passionate music suddenly stopped, and for a moment the air was too quiet.
"Hello, sir. We are from an insect extermination company. We received a commission from the community yesterday, saying that there are too many spiders here, so they asked us to come over and help. This is my work ID and our company's business card. The three people behind me are our professional cleaners." Wilde spoke without blushing, telling lies without any hesitation.
The security guard took it and looked at it carefully, then heaved a sigh of relief: "So it's a pest control company. Oh, I thought it was something else. What's in your box?"
"Oh, our professional insecticide tools." Wilde clapped his hands, and Zhu Changan beside him immediately understood what he meant, and laid the box flat and opened it. It was indeed some common insecticide tools.
The security guard was relieved and opened the door for them.
Mo Xuanji and Shen Liuxue both breathed a sigh of relief. In their boxes, one contained a pile of talismans and the other contained a sword, a clear example of feudal superstition and controlled knives. If the security guards asked them to open all the boxes, they would probably have to go and have a chat with the police first.
After entering the community, Mo Xuanji adjusted his sunglasses and looked around the environment calmly.
Xingfu Community looks quite old, and the walls of the old residential buildings have fallen off to varying degrees. However, the greening here is well done, and the plants are very lush.
One building seemed to have been renovated not long ago, with snow-white walls and traces of spray paint on the floor. There were some white spots on the rusty iron windows on the upper floors, probably accidentally stuck on during the renovation.
Of course, this scene only exists in the eyes of ordinary people. What Mo Xuanji saw was that the whole building was emitting a strange aura, and wisps of black air were emitting from the dazzling white walls, constantly gathering towards the top of the building.
The white color didn't look like the common white paint. A closer look revealed that it was clearly layers of spider webs. Because the layers were so thick, they appeared a strange white color under the sun. The whole building was like a huge cocoon, as if something was hatching.
Mo Xuanji: San value is dropping like crazy! Who has spider webs on the walls?
Wilde had a serious look on his face. He took the lead and walked in the front. Shen Liuxue and Zhu Changan were in the middle of the team, responsible for observing both sides of the team. Mo Xuanji was at the end of the team, responsible for guarding the rear.
The team entered the dark corridor.
The walls inside the corridor were also painted white, making it look clean and tidy, but the ubiquitous spider webs made the scene look extremely weird.
Thick spider webs filled every corner, and tiny webs could be seen everywhere in the cracks between the walls. Right in front of them, an extremely huge spider web hung from the ceiling, with the other end sticking to the ground, completely blocking the entrance to the staircase.
"Oh my God! It's like there's a spider plague here!" Zhu Changan rubbed his arms, goose bumps all over his body.
Mo Xuanji picked up a wooden stick and poked the spider web. He felt as if he was poking a solid fishing net. It was still a little sticky.
Wilde looked at the spider web carefully with a serious face.
The door of the west unit on the first floor suddenly opened, and a short and fat lady came out with a garbage bag in one hand. Her eyes were dark, and it seemed that she hadn't had a good rest for a long time. When she saw the four people, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes: "What are you doing...?"
"Hello, Auntie. We are from a pest control company." Wilde took out his business card.
When she heard the words "pest control company", a surprised smile appeared on her face. She quickly closed the door and walked towards the four people: "Oh, we have been looking forward to seeing you for a long time!"
"etc!"
Mo Xuanji was about to stop her, but she saw that the old lady had already passed through the spider web. She was completely unaware, as if she couldn't see it at all. The moment she passed through the spider web, a wisp of white air was sucked away from the old lady's body, and her spirit was visibly weakened.
The mother yawned in confusion, but didn't pay any attention and continued to talk.
"We don't know who has offended us, but a few days ago, there were suddenly a lot of spiders weaving webs in the corridor. We didn't think much of it at first, after all, there are a lot of mosquitoes here in the summer, and maybe the spiders came here to look for food. But later, the spider webs became more and more numerous and larger. The child on the third floor cried when he saw the spider webs, so we thought it might be something bad."
"Later, I contacted the property management company, and they cleared the spider webs, painted the entire building inside and out with white paint, and sprayed insecticide. It would have been fine if they hadn't painted it, but once they did, the spider webs appeared even faster. We just cleaned it the day before yesterday, and it popped up again early the next morning. Now the corridor looks clean, and it took us, an old man, a lot of effort to clean it out."
What's going on? Mo Xuanji looked at the corridor that had turned into a winding cave in confusion.
"These spider webs are made up of strange energy and ordinary people cannot see them." The system answered his question.
"These spider webs are so weird. We were so scared that we couldn't sleep well for several days and nights. We had nightmares all night long and during the day. Look at the dark circles under my eyes. I haven't had any energy all day." The eldest lady stepped forward so that the four of them could see more clearly.
Wilde listened carefully, his expression gentle, and soothed her: "Don't worry, Auntie, we are all professionals and will be able to solve them quickly."
The three people behind him nodded repeatedly.
"That's great. Hey boy, what's up with this spider?"
"Well, after our investigation, we found that these spiders are invasive species from other places. Since there are no natural enemies in our community and the living environment is good, their growth rate is a bit rapid. It's not a big deal."
The mother breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I thought there really was a spider spirit."
Four people: !!!
I guessed it right. Although it’s not a monster, it’s almost the same.
"Oh, how is that possible? This is a scientific society."
"Yes, Auntie, don't scare yourself."
The eldest mother was very happy, but she remembered that she still had things to do, so she said goodbye to everyone and went out.
The four of them watched the old lady leave with a smile on their faces, then took out their cell phones.
[Help, help! She was almost exposed. Fortunately, she didn't think too much about it. 】
[I'm so scared! Even if it wasn't intentional, if ordinary people knew the truth, they would be sent to the dark room! ]
At this time, the corridor was quiet and no other residents went out. Seeing this, several people breathed a sigh of relief.
Wilde pulled out a stack of defensive charms and silence notes from his pocket like a magician: "According to the plan, act separately. Be sure to complete the preparations before dark."
......
Mo Xuanji knocked on the resident's door. After waiting for a while, a resident came out and opened the door. Like the aunt, he also had dark circles under his eyes.
The man looked at him and was about to close the door with an impatient look on his face: "If you don't buy insurance, you're not interested in anything else."
Mo Xuanji quickly stopped him, "Wait, I'm an employee of a pest control company, responsible for handling this spider incident. In order to ensure that these spiders are completely eliminated, we need to conduct a comprehensive disinfection of the entire building, and we also need to check every resident's home to prevent any fish from slipping through the net. This is my ID, please understand."
The man saw the ID, hesitated for a moment, and finally let him in.
"Thank you." Mo Xuanji breathed a sigh of relief. The string of words just now was already the limit of social anxiety. Any more would really be exhausting.
As planned, Mo Xuanji used a mysterious detector to check every resident's home, and he actually found a few little ones.
After cleaning, Mo Xuanji pasted defensive talismans on the doors and windows of the residents without leaving any trace. This kind of talisman is specially used to isolate the weird. As long as it is pasted well, the weird will not be able to get in even if they hit their heads. It's a pity that it has a time limit, and one day and one night is the limit.
The four of them worked very efficiently. By this time, when dusk had just fallen, the cobwebs in the corridor had been cleaned up, and defensive talismans had been affixed to all the thirty-six households in the building.
Thanks to a month of devilish training, he didn't feel tired at all. Mo Xuanji silently shed tears in his heart. He couldn't even imagine his current physical condition when he was in high school.
They took a short break and prepared to continue. Suddenly, Mo Xuanji heard a faint rustling sound.
Shen Liuxue obviously heard it as well. He quickly stood up, grasped the hilt of the sword with one hand, and looked around.
Shen Liuxue closed her eyes, and the subtle changes in the air flow were infinitely magnified in her mind. She suddenly opened her eyes, and the sword flashed, and a spider the size of a palm was split into two halves in the air.
This blow seemed to be a signal, and dense spiders rushed out from the wall, crawling towards the three people from all directions like waves. The blank "circle" gradually shrank.
Oscar Wilde disappeared at some point.
The three of them stood back to back, in a defensive posture.
The space in the corridor was cramped, and the walls were just ordinary steel and cement mixtures, which would break at the slightest touch. Under such circumstances, no one dared to use supernatural powers here.
"This is the real Bao Yuan." Mo Xuanji couldn't help but complain.
"Help! There are so many spiders!" Zhu Changan was completely sick. Even if he was not afraid of insects, he would be frightened to the point of having claustrophobia after seeing this scene.
Shen Liuxue didn't say anything. She held the sword and looked ahead coldly.
