On the Panshang Highway in the western suburbs, a new Mercedes-Benz was driving in the night.
The street lights on both sides were receding rapidly, and there was lightning and thunder in the sky ahead, and it looked like a rainstorm was coming.
Lai Chengshan was sitting in the back seat, holding his mobile phone and browsing Weibo. Thinking of what happened in the apartment, he felt a little embarrassed.
After so many years of debut, he was respected and worshipped wherever he went. Almost everyone thought he was a master, even he himself thought so.
However, this business today took off his mask, and Lai Chengshan couldn't help feeling uneasy.
What if the people in the program team were unwilling to give up and wanted to publicize this matter everywhere, then wouldn't all his hard work be turned into nothing?
No!
Absolutely not!
There was a voice in Lai Chengshan's heart that was yelling wildly, so he thought of taking the initiative.
Instead of waiting for the program crew to expose him, he might as well do something to attract attention. Anyway, the feud has already been made, so there is nothing to worry about.
Lai Chengshan thought so, and then searched for the program "The Birth of an Idol", and coincidentally saw the Weibo post that Lu Xu's fans tagged him.
"Haha, still want to walk on the flower road? I think it's the road to hell." Lai Chengshan pouted and spoke with resentment.
The pretty boy looks good and has a rich look. But what's the use of just being good-looking? Even if he can become popular, he has to live to enjoy it.
Lai Chengshan thought so, and couldn't help but reply to the fans, saying that Lu Xu would not live long.
Seeing his name tied to Lu Xu on the hot search, Lai Chengshan was in a surprisingly good mood.
Although this boy is annoying enough, it is also great to be able to help him get some popularity. Anyway, he will die sooner or later, so what's the harm in giving a warning.
Seeing a group of people lighting candles for Lu Xu, Lai Chengshan couldn't help laughing. If a person is still alive and being lit in various ways, you can imagine how angry the other party must be.
But so what?
He just predicted what will happen in the future, and everything is within the scope of legal permission. You can post your own Weibo however you want, and no one can do anything to you.
As the saying goes, "Mountains and rivers are so dense that you think there is no way out, but when you turn around, you will find another village with willows and flowers."
He was worried that his reputation would be ruined, but now it seems that he has brought popularity. Even if Lu Xu or the program team said something now, netizens would only think it was out of revenge.
Besides, today's gains are far more than that.
Lai Chengshan felt excited when he thought about Ji Xiunian taking his red talisman. Apart from anything else, at least he would have no problem living for another 20 years.
He leaned on the back seat and felt more and more proud as he thought about it. He was simply very happy in his heart.
But no matter what, he is old, and he always feels sore in the waist and back after sitting for a long time.
"Why are you driving so slowly today?" Looking at the rapidly retreating trees and street lights around him, Lai Chengshan suddenly felt a little impatient and complained about his speed, "Xiao Liu, what's wrong with you? How long have you been driving?"
The driver Xiao Liu had been driving silently before, but he was sweating profusely.
He still remembered the road he had taken on the way here. According to the navigation, he should have gotten off the winding mountain road long ago. But now he was still on the road after driving for so long. He had seen the road sign next to him four or five times.
If he had been too fanciful at the beginning, then it was basically certain that they had encountered a ghost wall.
Xiao Liu timidly told Lai Chengshan about his discovery. When he saw the sign appear again, he felt like he was about to collapse: "Master Lai, this is already the fifth lap..."
A ghost wall?
"Are you sure?" Lai Chengshan had never thought that he would encounter a ghost wall again.
Especially when he was in the apartment just now, he pretended to have sent away a few ghosts. Who could guarantee that the ghosts stayed in the apartment or followed him out...
Lai Chengshan felt terrible when he thought about it, and urged Xiao Liu to hurry up: "Don't think about anything else. The right thing to do is to get down the mountain as soon as possible."
Xiao Liu almost wanted to cry after hearing what Lai Chengshan said: "Master Lai, I also want to drive down the mountain quickly, but I can't drive out at all... This must be a ghost..."
"Bah, bah, bah, what ghost or not! Don't talk nonsense in the middle of the night."
Lai Chengshan was really panicked, fearing that there really were those things around him, so he could only bite the bullet and not think about it.
However, Xiao Liu couldn't help it, and soon found another strange place: "Master Lai, look around us, are there no cars..."
The empty winding mountain road was endless.
Looking around, there were no other cars on the entire road except them.
However, everyone knows how congested the traffic in Dongcheng is, and there should be no other cars even on the winding mountain road.
Xiao Liu was sure that they had encountered ghosts, and couldn't help but discuss with Lai Chengshan what to do next: "Master Lai, can you send them away? Or, should we find a place to stop and slow down..."
"Stop for a while!" Lai Chengshan didn't want to stop at this place at all. There was no village in front and no shop behind, who knew if he would stop and there would be something more terrible.
"But..." Xiao Liu just felt panic in his heart, vaguely feeling that something was going to happen.
Just when he was panicking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a car following them in the rearview mirror.
"It seems there is a car!" Xiao Liu was so happy that he could see other people's traces at this time.
However, before he could be happy for long, the car rushed up and drove side by side with them.
Xiao Liu unconsciously turned his head to see the situation over there, but he was almost scared to death when he saw it -
the car was empty, and there was no driver at all!
He couldn't see the shape of the car clearly from a distance, until he got closer, Xiao Liu realized that it was actually a hearse!
It was fine that there were ghosts on the mountain road late at night, but there was also an unmanned hearse drifting with him...
"Master Lai, look at that thing next to you..."
"What is that?" Lai Cheng glanced out of the mountain and then stood there stupidly. When
Xiao Liu accelerated, the hearse next to him also accelerated. When Xiao Liu slowed down, the hearse also slowed down -
it was like it was relying on them, following closely.
Xiao Liu was really scared, and couldn't help but want to brake: "Master Lai, should we stop and let it go..."
"No, go faster, faster...ah..."
With the sharp sound of brakes, Master Lai's words stopped abruptly.
No one knew how the accident happened. It seemed that the car suddenly broke through the railings and rolled down the mountain as if it was out of control.
"Fuck!" When Lai Chengshan opened his eyes again, he was already standing at the foot of the mountain.
The car that was smoking not far away was his car. Judging from the degree of damage, it was completely scrapped and there was no need to repair it.
"What a bad luck."
"Meow..." Before Lai Chengshan could figure out how to deal with this matter, the baby-like meow of a cat came from behind him.
He didn't like cats in the first place, and impatiently turned around to rush away, but he saw a familiar cat face.
With soft fur and a round body, plus a pair of oversized cat eyes that looked like it was wearing contact lenses, Lai Chengshan immediately recognized that this was the fat cat in the apartment.
"Go away!" Seeing the cat wearing a small helmet squatting on the roof of his car, Lai Chengshan's first reaction was to chase him away.
However, before he could do anything, he caught a glimpse of himself with a bloody head in the back seat, and Lai Chengshan was stunned instantly -
wasn't he right here, then who was that person in the car? !
"Lai Chengshan, male, 72 years old..."
He heard footsteps behind him. Lai Chengshan turned around and saw a young boy wearing a black hooded robe. His face was half hidden under the hood. His beautiful jawline moved slightly and his mouth was slightly raised.
"Lu Xu?" Lai Chengshan recognized the face instantly and was speechless -
this guy is too real. He just said a few words about him on Weibo, but he actually followed him here? !
Just when he was thinking about warning Lu Xu that his personal safety was protected by law, the other party suddenly sneered: "Three meters tall, muscular... likes killing?"
Seeing Lu Xu getting closer and closer, Lai Chengshan stepped back unconsciously, feeling more and more uneasy: "I don't understand what you are talking about..."
"He also has a cat with black fur all over its body. Is it a ferocious beast, a portent of death?"
"Meow." The eighth sister wagged her tail, clearly protesting.
With every word Lu Xu said, Lai Chengshan felt more uneasy.
He looked at Lu Xu with a sly smile, and felt that this person was completely different from the one he saw in the apartment. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were cold. Thunder roared, lightning flashed, Lai Chengshan suddenly had a guess in his heart, but he didn't dare to be sure: "Who are you?"
Lu Xu curled his lips when he heard it: "Didn't you always say that we were sworn brothers? How come you forgot so quickly?"
Everything Lu Xu said was a lie Lai Chengshan had told many times.
What did he say at that time?
He said that the god of death was his sworn brother...
"You are the god of death..."
"Bingo! Congratulations on your correct answer, and the reward is a 100-year tour of hell!" Lu Xu was not in the mood to chat with him, but just held a coin in his hands and threw it on Lai Chengshan's face -
that was the thing in the red talisman that the other party gave to Ji Xiunian. He was holding a coin to buy his life. Lu Xu had been in the industry for so long, and he had never seen such a search.
"Lai Chengshan, 72 years old. He should have died in a car accident 20 years ago. He used evil magic to steal other people's lives and used them on himself, defying fate and sneaking into the human world. After investigation, it was found that Shao Tang and Shi Hongye's lives were also stolen by you..."
Lai Chengshan was more and more shocked as he listened. He didn't expect that he would actually hit the muzzle of Lu Xu's gun.
"Lu Xu... No, Lord Death! Can you let me go this time? I will give you whatever you want." Lai Chengshan was very anxious and tried to impress Lu Xu with material things. "I have a lot of wealth in the human world, I will give it to you. And I have popularity, I can vote for you, I will ask them to vote for you..."
Lu Xu's face was expressionless, and he just calmly announced Lai Chengshan's life and crimes.
Seeing that he was still chattering, Lu Xu didn't want to listen at all: "You should have died after the last car accident. You have been living for twenty years. It's time to pay back your debts."
"Please, sir, I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."
Lai Chengshan kept muttering to himself without stopping for a moment.
Lu Xu was impatient and directly opened the passage and kicked him on the butt, kicking him into the underworld.
There were already people waiting there, and Lai Chengshan could bear the interrogation alone.
Lu Xu called an ambulance for the driver, and then took the eighth sister back to the apartment.
Just before entering the door, bean-sized raindrops hit the ground, first a few and then splashing.
The storm that had been brewing all night finally fell.
Lu Xu held the eighth sister in his arms and got a little wet himself. His wet hair hung in front of his forehead, which made him look less murderous.
He walked up from the warehouse, and as soon as he reached the second floor, he almost bumped into someone coming towards him.
Lu Xu looked up and saw that it was Ji Xiunian, who was slightly distracted, and then smiled obediently: "Good evening, Brother Nian."
The boy in front of him had fair and transparent skin, and the loose black coat made him look a little gloomy, which was different from his usual aura. His body was clean, but the soles of his shoes were covered with mud, as if he had just come back from outside.
Ji Xiunian looked at Lu Xu like this, and felt a little strange in his heart, and couldn't help asking: "It's so late, where have you been?"
