Chapter 74: Jinjiang First Launch

After finishing the second divination, Que Ge took out the mobile phone hidden in his pocket. The old phone was broken and only had one bar of battery left. It was still able to live broadcast until now. Que Ge couldn't help but sigh: "Awesome!"

Weng Xuhua looked at the phone and said to Bai Mian, "I have used this phone for many years. The style is outdated. You are so popular now, I feel bad for you to use this phone for live broadcast. It is just right that you should take this opportunity to buy a new phone. You can buy it from the store. Just consider it a gift from us old couple."

Gao Jin also said: "Yes, the old must go before the new can come. Get a new phone, and your live broadcast will be smoother in the future!"

Lame Brother said unhappily: "On what basis? They smashed our phones, and we have to buy new ones with our own money. How can this be justified? They broke it, so let them pay for it. If they don't, I will go to their studio in Beijing to find them!"

As Lame Brother was talking, his old cell phone rang with a payment notification. Bai Mian's account received a transfer of 10,000 yuan, with the note "money for buying the cell phone".

"Who... who turned this?" Lame Brother was a little confused.

Bai Mian smiled. Who else could have transferred the money? The two staff members related to He Xianxian were taken away by the police, leaving only her agent. It was estimated that the agent took a picture of Bai Mian's payment code before leaving, and transferred the compensation to her after the matter was settled.

After Lame Brother understood what was going on, he was very surprised: "I can't believe this woman looks so tough, just like Sun Erniang, but I didn't expect her to be so careful. It seems that those who can survive in the entertainment industry are all shrewd people!"

After Bai Mian received the transfer of 10,000 yuan, the old mobile phone happened to have used up the last bar of power. It automatically turned off and could never be turned on again.

"Old man, it's time for you to retire!" Lame Brother put away his old phone and suggested to Bai Mian, "Do you want to go pick out a new phone now? The mall should still be closed at this time, and ten thousand yuan is more than enough to buy a phone. I know Blueberry Company recently launched a new phone that is especially suitable for live streaming. Let me tell you, the configuration of this phone..."

Lame brother talked nonstop, Bai Mian interrupted him: "No need, there is still time to buy a mobile phone tomorrow, there is a third owner today, he has been waiting for a long time."

"Oh, yes!" Lame Brother slapped his head and looked at the time. Although it was almost time to get off work, the third divination of the day had not been calculated yet. He had forgotten about this.

"Where is the third master?" Lame Brother walked to the door of Ci Xin Hall and shouted loudly, "Where is the third master? It's your turn. Master Bai is looking for you!"

Lame Brother shouted several times, but no one outside the door answered, and passers-by looked at him with strange eyes.

Because the bodyguard had just chased people away, the crowd left, and perhaps the third master of fate also left at that time.

Lame Brother turned around and waved to Bai Mian: "This person is not here. Maybe he got tired of waiting and left!"

Bai Mian poured out the tea in the cup and said with some regret: "It seems that we are not destined to be together. So this is what we have to do today."

Lame brother was overjoyed: "Work is over? Boss, can I leave work early today?"

Weng Xuhua smiled kindly and was about to nod when a man suddenly came in from outside the door. He said in a panic:

"Master, I have something urgent to do. Can you help me calculate it?"

Normally Bai Mian would refuse to allow others to cut in line temporarily, but today the third fate master happened to not come, so he could fill this gap, so Bai Mian nodded and agreed.

Seeing this scene, Lame Brother, who was just about to pack up and go home from get off work, drooped his eyebrows in disappointment, and sat back behind the diagnosis desk reluctantly like a rabbit drenched in the rain.

The new lord was a high school student. He sat down in front of the examination table and began to introduce himself: "Hello, Master. My name is Qiao Yang. I am a senior high school student. I study at Qingshui Town No. 1 Middle School. I am busy with my studies and usually don't have much chance to touch my phone. But my mother often watches your live broadcast, so I got to know you."

He swallowed and continued, "Our school has a half-day break every week. This afternoon, I was resting at home when I suddenly heard footsteps and shouting from upstairs. There is a family of four living upstairs from me. They are all very polite people and usually greet me when they see me. I have never heard them make such noises before."

"They kept making noise and it kept me awake. As you know, rest time is precious for high school students. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went up to knock on their door, but no one came to open it after knocking for a long time. I had no choice but to go home and wait. I waited for more than an hour, but they didn't stop."

"My parents are not at home. I don't know what to do in this situation, so I thought of you. My home is not far from here, so I came to find you, Master. They were still dancing until I left home!"

Lame brother thought it was a little funny: "Little brother, you came here just to ask us to help you solve the noise problem upstairs? This is a neighborhood conflict, we can't do anything about it. You should find the neighborhood committee lady. If that doesn't work, you can call the police!"

Qiao Yang nodded: "Yes, I was planning to call the police, but not because of the noise, but because - I was worried that something happened upstairs!"

Hearing this, Lame Brother became serious. He straightened up and asked, "What do you think happened upstairs?"

Qiao Yang said nervously, "The noise upstairs is not only noisy, but also particularly scary, and occasionally mixed with strange screams. That sound is simply not something that can be made by humans. I suspect... this family may have taken some illegal drugs, or they are holding an illegal party. It must be something bad!"

After hearing his analysis, Lame Brother nodded: "That makes sense, we should call the police!"

Qiao Yang said worriedly, "But I'm afraid I'm overthinking it. What if after I call the police, the police break into their house and find that nothing has happened and everyone is fine? Wouldn't that be a waste of police resources? And we live upstairs and downstairs, so it would be awkward if we meet in the future. So I want to ask the master to help me take the pulse and see if I should call the police."

After listening to this, Bai Mian placed two fingers on Qiao Yang's pulse. After feeling it quietly for a moment, she opened her eyes alertly: "Call the police, quickly!"

After hearing what Bai Mian said, Qiao Yang no longer hesitated. He immediately took out his cell phone to call the police and then rushed back to his home.

About half an hour later, Qiao Yang returned to Cixin Hall. He was sweating and out of breath. Lame Brother handed him a bottle of mineral water. He tilted his head back and gulped down the bottle of water. Then he sat down and rested for a while before he had the strength to speak:

"Master, you are right. I should have called the police. The scene today was even scarier than a horror movie!"

Qiao Yang panted and recounted what happened. After he called the police, they arrived quickly. He took the police to the door of his upstairs neighbor's house. The police knocked on the door, but no one responded. The police had to take out the door-breaking tools and break in by force. Out of curiosity, he followed the police in.

After entering, Qiao Yang was stunned by the scene inside. The house was in a mess, with various things scattered on the ground and leftovers on the table. The neighbor's family was nowhere to be seen, the bedroom door was locked, and ghost screams could be heard from inside.

Then the police pried open the bedroom door. Qiao Yang followed the police inside tremblingly. Finally, he saw the neighbor's family of four. However, they did not behave like their usual selves. The man of the house had a rice cooker on his head and a lot of rice grains on his face. He held a rice shovel in his hand and looked solemn. He kept muttering:

"From today on, I declare my ascension to the throne and become the Jade Emperor. All the lands and seas will obey my orders. Why don't you, the common people, kneel down when you see me? How dare you!"

The hostess had messy hair and greasy hands. She held a frying pan in her hands and slapped the host's face vigorously, shouting:

"I am the Goddess Nuwa. You are so ugly and a disgrace to mankind. Today I will make you go back to the furnace and be reborn. I will beat you! I will beat you! It's strange, why hasn't your face deformed yet?"

The youngest son of the family had bright eyes and held a rolling pin in his hand. He poked the man's butt hard and said, "I am the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. Your anus is loose. Let me heal you!"

The daughter of this family was alone in the corner of the room, wrapped in the bed sheet at home, spinning around, saying mischievously: "I am the Seventh Fairy, I must be with my lover, you evil heavenly soldiers and generals, don't try to separate us, come on, come and catch me if you have the guts!"

Qiao Yang said with lingering fear: "I was so confused at the time. Each of them had a weird smile on their face, as if they were possessed by evil spirits. I thought there was something unclean in their house! Fortunately, the police later sent the family to the hospital. After the doctor washed their stomachs, they woke up."

Cripple brother asked curiously: "What did this family eat?"

Qiao Yang slapped his thigh and said, "Mushrooms! This family went up the mountain to dig some mushrooms this afternoon and took them home to cook. It turned out that there was a poisonous mushroom mixed in, called purple jade mushroom. They didn't know what it was, but they ate it all. Purple jade mushroom is not only poisonous, but also has a strong hallucinogenic effect. It's because of eating purple jade mushroom that they became so crazy."

Lame brother sneered: "Tsk, tell me, isn't this just looking for trouble? They don't know about mushrooms, so why do they go up the mountain to dig mushrooms? They dare to eat them even though they don't know about them, they are so bold! Fortunately, you found it early, otherwise, this family would have been lying on the bed! After they are discharged from the hospital, they should really thank you."

Qiao Yang shook his head: "Not only that, I haven't finished yet! After the police found the family of four in the master bedroom, they took them into the car. At this time, someone noticed that there was a small room in the corner with a locked door. For safety reasons, the police decided to pry open the door to see, but who knew that after opening the door, what was inside was actually-"

At this point, Qiao Yang felt a little disgusted. He lowered his head and choked, unable to continue. Lame Brother asked anxiously: "What is it? Tell me quickly!"

"It's a corpse." Bai Mian said for him.
