Early in the morning, Xinghe received a message from Zhong Guofu, saying that one of his good brothers had also encountered a paranormal event and needed Xinghe's help.
A generous reward will be given once the matter is accomplished.
As a penniless person, Xinghe agreed without hesitation.
As soon as she stepped out, the Golden Boy and Jade Girl sent a signal to the two wandering ghosts.
The two wild ghosts began to move.
The eldest and fourth eldest Sheng got up the earliest, and the rest of the group got up one after another.
Sheng Laosan had dark circles under his eyes. "What time is it? I have something to do when I go out later."
Sheng Lao Er asked, "Didn't you sleep well last night?"
Sheng Laosan had a sour face. "Don't even mention it. It's just bad luck. That brat is back to bring misfortune upon us. Yueyue cried all night and even slept with tears in her eyes."
Boss Sheng frowned slightly. "How is Yueyue?"
"I didn't fall asleep until almost dawn."
The brothers talked as they walked toward the restaurant.
After breakfast, the brothers all had things to do.
The corridor, which I've walked through for over twenty years, has somehow become incredibly long.
The first to realize something was wrong was Sheng Laosi, who, as a researcher, was always sensitive to these kinds of things.
In the past, it would take him three minutes and twenty seconds to walk from the door to the stairwell.
Three minutes have passed, and the stairwell is still more than halfway to him.
He held his breath and continued to measure the ground with his steps, counting the number of tiles on the floor.
Thirty-five, thirty-four, thirty-three...
After counting to thirty, he started counting back from the end.
The number has changed to thirty-five again.
Sheng Lao Si's breath hitched, and his hand in his pocket tightened.
The eldest and second eldest Sheng noticed something was wrong at the same time, and they quickened their pace.
The third and fifth Sheng brothers lagged behind, asking, "Why are you walking so fast?"
The eldest and second eldest Sheng brothers completely ignored the two men, walking briskly and even starting to jog.
Everything around them was receding, yet nothing in front of them changed. It was as if a vast galaxy separated them from the stairwell, and no matter how they tried, they could never reach the end.
Sheng Laosan panicked, "What's going on?"
"whee."
Hahahaha.
Laughter, sometimes near, sometimes far, came from the stairwell, followed by footsteps.
The footsteps grew closer and closer, as if they were right in front of the brothers.
Boss Sheng said in a deep voice, "Who is it? Playing tricks! Come out here."
"Hehehe, brother, play with me."
"Play with me."
"elder brother."
The sound of the ball, sometimes near, sometimes far, was sometimes soft and sometimes loud, as if a gust of wind came from nowhere and blew towards them.
The child's laughter grew increasingly shrill.
Hehehe.
"Ha ha ha ha."
There was nothing in front of them, yet all sorts of strange sounds kept coming into their ears.
It was terrifying.
They tried to find other paths, but no matter which way they went, they would always end up back in this corridor.
...
The unseen thing touched the lucky charm that Sheng Lao Er had put in his bag and then forgot about, and then everything disappeared without a trace.
Even the brothers, who never believed in ghosts or gods, left the corridor immediately.
They seemed dazed, and none of them looked well.
In the past, it was just a dream, which they could describe as a coincidence. But this time, all five of them encountered a ghost at the same time.
What excuse will they use to explain this accident?
The expressions on their faces grew increasingly grim.
Sheng Yue came downstairs and called out, "Brother."
The group tensed up instantly, with Sheng Laosan reacting the most, knocking over the cup beside him.
That one word, "brother," seemed like a curse, plunging them back into their nightmare. They all made excuses to leave the Sheng family, leaving Sheng Yue looking completely bewildered.
The two ghosts secretly reported the incident to the Golden Boy and Jade Girl, and they pitifully showed them their hands that had been burned by the talisman.
Fortunately, Xinghe only left behind a talisman for changing one's luck. If it were any exorcist, with their limited skills, their souls would have been scattered long ago.
The golden boy and jade girl were very satisfied with the result and did not treat the two wild ghosts unfairly, generously giving them a drop of their own life essence.
This is an excellent tonic for all souls.
The two wild ghosts were laughing so hard their eyes were almost slits.
They bowed and scraped, saying, "Two celestial children, remember to call us next time you need something like this. We'll be there whenever you call."
The golden boy and jade girl dared not let Xinghe know about this, and quietly waved for them to leave.
Xinghe also contacted Zhong Guofu.
The Zhong family's matter has been resolved. Zhong Guofu's father, Zhong Yu, was murdered by his own brother, Zhong Su's family.
Zhong Guofu's parents were capable and built a considerable business for him, which Zhong Guofu continued to expand and develop, resulting in the well-known listed company he has today.
His uncle's family was very hospitable to them, and Zhong Guofu wanted to help them out, so he put several of his cousins in his company.
Who knew they harbored such malicious intentions, not just exchanging their lives with his father?
They even planned to swap luck with him, and as soon as his father passed away, they would immediately begin to carry out this plan.
If Zhong Guofu hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that such a thing could happen—that fate and luck could be exchanged.
Having witnessed it firsthand, he now unconditionally believes in Xinghe.
Zhong Guofu personally drove Xinghe there.
"This time, I went with a business partner of mine. Their family sells building materials. Something strange has happened to their family recently, and after I found out, I recommended you to them."
Zhong Guofu lowered his voice a little, "They've been rich for generations, so the fairy can charge more."
Zhong Guofu genuinely felt that Xinghe's fees were far too cheap.
He wanted to give Xinghe more, but she refused.
The boss of the company next door somehow brought back a Taoist priest who looked at the feng shui, gave him a few pointers, and then gave him a three million yuan red envelope.
Xinghe really wanted to thank Zhong Guofu for his kindness, but...
Xinghe said, "We'll see when we get there. There are regulations governing our fees in this industry."
Even though the Zhengyi sect has declined, and now only Xinghe remains, Xinghe would never do anything to disgrace his sect.
Zhong Guofu quickly replied, "Yes, yes, yes."
Is this the demeanor of a master?
Zhong Guofu was deeply impressed that someone could resist the temptation of money, and he decided to learn more from the master.
If Xinghe knew what Zhong Guofu was thinking, he would definitely give him six points...
In less than an hour, Zhong Guofu and Xinghe arrived at the home of his friend who was in the building materials business.
Before they even got close, Xinghe saw a wisp of black smoke rising from their backyard.
An ominous aura emanates from this house; evil spirits lurk within.
Moreover, it's a powerful evil spirit, at least not the half-baked one from last time.
Xinghe became interested and stepped inside.
