Chapter 348 The Strange Knocking Sound



Divine Calculation Hall.

Su Zikun pulled Jiang Ji to sit among the elderly men and women.

"Oh, it's you guys again."

Su Zikun turned around and said, "Hello, ma'am."

"Hello, young man." Aunt He smiled and took out two cups of herbal tea.

"It's hot, have a glass of water, homemade."

Not answering is disrespectful to the elderly.

You must remove your mask after receiving the call.

She wanted to see what these two masked young men were up to.

Su Zikun paused for a second, then took the cup with both hands. "Thank you, ma'am. I'm thirsty right now, so drinking two cups by myself is no problem."

This middle-aged woman was sitting in the center of the crowd, with two empty seats next to her; she was definitely not an ordinary person.

Su Zikun guessed that she was the leader of the older women.

I should come to the Divine Calculation Hall often in the future. It's always good to get on good terms with the auntie and the head of the group, but I can't expose Jiang Ji.

Su Zikun chose a compromise and endured the two cups of dark, cold tea by himself.

Aunt He smiled and said, "I'm glad you like it. Young man, please drink up. Don't be shy with me."

Su Zikun forced a smile and reached out to pull down his mask.

The elderly men and women all turned to look at him, a look of great surprise flashing in their eyes.

The young man had another mask under his mask, with two extra holes that exposed his nostrils and mouth, making him look very comical, like a dog thief.

Su Zikun playfully stuck out his tongue, "Hehe, are you surprised? Unexpected?"

His antics amused the entire audience of elderly people.

"Haha, young man, you're so funny! Come again soon, we're happy to see you."

"Definitely, definitely." Su Zikun stood up and greeted them, "Dear uncles, aunts, grandpas and grandmas, I'll bring you local specialties next time I come."

"I'll start with two drinks to celebrate everyone's meeting."

He picked up the herbal tea and drank it all in one gulp.

Two words: Terrible!

In three words, it tastes awful!!

Although it was hard to swallow, Su Zikun drank it all without changing his expression, leaving not a drop in the cup.

Wishing you all good health, all the best, and happiness every day!

"I also wish you great success in your business, a happy family reunion, and a sweet and loving marriage!"

The elderly men and women applauded, saying, "Well said, young man."

Clap clap clap!

Aunt He was speechless. How could someone be so arrogant?!

The young man was incredibly cunning; he had actually kept a secret.

In their second encounter, she lost again and was completely defeated.

Su Zikun won over everyone's hearts with his "cow spirit" and successfully infiltrated the ranks of the elderly.

He put his index finger to his lips, "Shh~ Quiet, the master is about to begin his divination."

Ji Heng looked resentful. "Brother Kun, you stole my lines again."

"Sorry, I'll be more careful next time." Su Zikun sat down and stopped talking.

That's enough. Saying too much will steal the spotlight from others.

Next, I'll become a ruthless gossip-eating machine.

Ji Heng picked up his phone. "Boss, should we take attendance?"

Lin Xi said calmly, "Today I'm doing twenty divinations, which involve advance arrangements for life-threatening situations."

Ji Heng nodded, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away."

Lin Xi added, "Don't take on small tasks; I can't handle them all."

"No problem, I rarely take orders these days." Ji Heng vaguely sensed that the big boss had something important to do, probably saving the world again.

Qian Fugui lay back in the chair to rest, his voice trembling as he spoke, “Master, I… I understand now.”

Lin Xi grabbed a handful of candy and tossed it to him, "Have some."

"Thank you, Master." Qian Fugui bit into a piece of fruit candy, feeling a slight sweetness in his mouth, which made him feel a little better.

After a moment, Ji Heng arranged the people to be divined today. "Boss, this person is guaranteed to die soon, he's in grave danger."

Lin Xi: "Order."

Ji Heng shouted loudly, "Zhuang Yi, it's your turn. Come out now, come out!"

"Here it is, here we come."

A young man, about twenty-two years old, raised his hand. His eyes were covered in dark circles, and he looked like he was about to die.

He clutched his chest and coughed, "Cough cough cough, Master, please save me, please save me..."

Lin Xi interrupted the meaningless conversation, took out a purification talisman and slapped it on his forehead.

"Time is tight and the task is heavy, so let's get to the point."

Zhuang Yi remained in the same position, not daring to move. A yellow talisman was pasted on his head, one hand was held to his chest, and the other hand was outstretched, making him look just like a zombie.

"Master, this is what happened..."

I can't remember which day it was, but I started hearing someone knocking on the door at night.

Thump thump thump thump!!

The taps seemed to be hitting right next to his ear, waking Zhuang Yi from his sleep and causing his anger to rise rapidly.

"What kind of bastard is knocking on my door in the middle of the night?!"

He didn't want to care and went back to sleep.

The knocking grew louder and louder, and the whole room began to shake.

Zhuang Yi couldn't take it anymore, got out of bed and rushed to the door, yelling, "Who is it? Can't a person get any sleep?! Get out!"

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump—!

Each sound was more eerie than the last.

Zhuang Yi felt a chill run through him. "Strange, the weather forecast says it's 30 degrees Celsius tonight, why is it so cold?!"

He rubbed his arms, but the knocking continued.

Zhuang Yi looked out through the peephole; it was pitch black, and there was no one there.

Could it be a child playing a prank?

Go out and see what's happening, or go to sleep?

The annoying knocking gave him a headache, and a strange anger welled up inside him. He cursed at the door.

"You brat, stop making noise!"

What are grown men afraid of?

He had neither money nor beauty.

Zhuang Yi opened the door. "Who is it? Get out here!"

There was no one outside the door, and all around was quiet, as if the knocking sound just now was an illusion.

The biting cold seeped into his body, and Zhuang Yi couldn't help but shiver. Just as he was about to close the door and go home, he turned around and bumped into a wedding dress.

Vivid as blood, embroidered with gold flowers, it was not exquisite at all, but rather extremely depressing.

In the dead of night, a blood-red wedding dress fluttered about, terrifying Zhuang Yi to death.

"Holy shit! Holy shit!!"

As he moved, his wedding dress fluttered.

Each blood-red gem made a crisp sound, more terrifying than a knock on a door.

Zhuang Yi closed his eyes, rushed into the house, and hid under the covers, trembling.

I don't know how long I trembled, but then it gradually got light.

Zhuang Yi carefully opened the door, but there was no wedding dress or jewels outside.

Did I hallucinate last night?

He suspected he was dreaming, so he ignored it for the time being and went to work and left work as usual.

At midnight, the knocking on the door rang precisely on time.

Knock knock knock knock!

Zhuang Yi heard it clearly; it was the fourth tone.

This time, of course he wouldn't open the door; he clung tightly to the blanket, determined to wait until dawn.

Unexpectedly, he fainted.

In her dream, Zhuang Yi was wearing a bright red wedding dress and sitting in a bridal sedan chair, her hands and feet bound so that she could not move an inch.

The wind blew the curtains, and he saw a group of headless people beating drums and gongs, their faces beaming with joy.

"Oh no! The bride's veil has fallen off. Quickly put it back on, we can't miss the auspicious time."

Hey, he's a man!

A genuine man, without a trace of fakery!!

"Bride, be a good girl."

A ghost, its face covered in blood and its head split in two, was approaching step by step.

Zhuang Yi was so frightened that his heart stopped.

Don't come any closer, help!
