Chapter 127
Looking at the message sent by Senior Sister He Xing, Ah Yan pursed his lips slightly.
She quickly understood the meaning of this sentence. It should be Officer Zheng Yi who asked the senior to consult her.
Because of the Lanruo Xie family incident, Ding Ling helped him and Juejue to be listed in another official department that deals with metaphysics and ghosts, which is the organization behind Ding Ling.
Ah Yan guessed that Officer Zheng Yi probably thought that she knew relevant people in another organization, so he subcontracted the matter to herself.
But, she only knows Ding Ling!
No, if we count the Dahe people in Ningcheng, then there are two.
In the end, this matter still needs to be resolved through her and Ding Ling.
Why do I feel like I'm a middleman?
At this moment, Ah Yan really wanted to shout out loud, Senior sister, why don’t you just go to Ding Ling directly, there won’t be any middlemen making a profit from the price difference!
Of course, this is just a thought.
She looked at the content of the message, sighed, and replied.
【Ayan】：I’ll ask someone.
I am not a Taoist, but I think it should not be difficult for Ding Ling and the special person behind her to let the living in this world meet the dead in the underworld.
As far as Ah Yan knows, even if they are not official figures, many folk practitioners of metaphysics have some means to allow the two parties to communicate, not to mention the ghost possession that is common in supernatural novels.
However, I still need to talk to Ding Ling about this in real life, as it is not convenient on WeChat.
Ah Yan rubbed his temples, thinking about how to bring up this matter when Ding Ling came back.
And there is the young man Zhuo Si whom I met on Antique Street today. If anything happens to him, who should I contact?
Ding Ling is elusive every day. Although no one knows what she is busy with, A Yan sent her a message to tell her that he has something to say.
In the evening, A Yan received a message from Ding Ling informing her that she was downstairs, so she got up and went downstairs.
"I'm going to the supermarket. Do you want to buy anything?" she asked.
"I want to eat potato chips, mustard flavor!" Chu Bingbing raised her hand.
"OK, what about you guys?" A Yan looked at the other roommates.
“Cucumber.”
“Original.”
Yi Zhi and Gu Jiasui respectively put forward their own choices.
"I don't want to eat." Senior He Xing said concisely.
Ah Yan took out a non-woven shopping bag from the drawer and went out to meet Ding Ling downstairs.
A Yan looked at Ding Ling, who was wearing a plaid tweed coat. Compared with last semester, Ding Ling seemed to be more popular. She was not standing next to the street light, and her face did not look as pale as before.
It only took a few minutes to walk from the dormitory to the supermarket. Ah Yan quietly asked, "I have a friend who wants to meet her parents who passed away three years ago. Can you help find someone?"
Ding Ling tilted her head slightly. It was such a simple matter, but Ah Yan came to her. Was she unable to help? Or was there some special reason?
Although he didn't know the reason, Ding Ling agreed directly.
"OK."
Ayan has her reasons for doing things, and you just need to do it according to the arrangements.
Ding Ling responded so quickly that Ah Yan didn't even have time to explain anything. The next second, she spoke again.
"But I have to find someone else to help me. I can't do it."
She thought about it, as if trying to think of a suitable phrase: "Special person in charge."
As he was speaking, Ah Yan saw Ding Ling had already taken out her cell phone and started sending messages.
While the two were buying snacks in the supermarket, Ding Ling had already quickly arranged the people.
"Okay, is that friend free this weekend?" she asked.
A Yan silently picked up his phone and sent a message to his senior, asking the same question, acting as a qualified third-party transit station.
In dormitory 320, He Xing saw the message on his phone and immediately realized that A Yan had gone out to buy snacks and it was probably inconvenient for him to contact anyone in the dormitory.
I just didn't expect that Ayan could find someone so quickly and even arrange the time.
...
Early Saturday morning.
In order to avoid arousing suspicion from his roommates, He Xing went out early to practice according to his habit, preparing to meet up with his schoolmate A Yan at the school gate.
However, everyone in dormitory 320 basically has something important to do on weekends, and no one would ask what they are doing specifically.
At nine o'clock in the morning, He Xing, wearing a black mask, not only waited for A Yan and her boyfriend, but also her schoolmate Ding Ling at the school gate.
She looked at A Yan, what was going on?
It could be that junior schoolmate Ding Ling was also about to go out, and we just happened to run into each other, right?
Should I say hello and explain that she is waiting for my friend?
He Xing saw three people walking towards him, and his schoolmate A Yan waved at him.
She could only walk over, and then she saw junior sister A Yan asking junior sister Ding Ling.
"Is the car coming?"
He Xing looked at Ding Ling, and Ding Ling looked at He Xing.
Afterwards, Ayan stretched out his left and right hands at the same time to introduce himself.
She spoke briefly, pointing her left finger at Senior He Xing, "I need help."
He swept his right hand towards Ding Ling, "Take the order."
Led by Ding Ling, they got into a black commercial vehicle.
The young couple sat in the last row. Ding Ling blinked her big dark eyes as she looked at this new roommate whom she had hardly any contact with.
The smell of the senior schoolmate is a mixture of sour, salty, bitter and spicy.
When did her relationship with Ah Yan become so good? Did something happen that she didn't know about?
After getting in the car, schoolmate Ding Ling briefly introduced herself. She was from the special case team, a department responsible for supervising the supernatural and ghostly affairs in the world.
He Xing's pupils trembled violently, and he was so shocked that he couldn't speak.
There is such a department?
Moreover...in this dormitory, there are two special people, junior schoolmate A Yan and junior schoolmate Ding Ling.
It can be called Crouching Dragon and Phoenix!
Coincidentally, these two people helped me after my return.
Is this destiny from heaven, or is this the system's favor to her?
"The person who took this order today is our team's affiliated personnel, A'li." Ding Ling introduced in the car.
"Affiliate?" Ah Yan poked his head out.
"There is no organization, but they are registered in the roster and can be called up when something happens." Ding Ling explained briefly.
Many extraordinary people among the people are like this; everyone prefers a free life.
Ah Yan nodded. She and Jue Jue should also be affiliated, but they didn't know what list Ding Ling put them on.
He Xing said nothing, but just listened quietly and gained new insights.
If she was the one who was devoted to dancing in the past, she would never have imagined that such a department existed behind the scenes in the society she lived in.
She couldn't help but intertwine her fingers, wondering how she would meet her parents in the future.
Three years, more than just three years?
As Ah Yan watched the car turn around, the scene outside became a little old, like an old building from a hundred years ago, but there were quite a few people there.
"Near the ancient ruins?" she asked.
Zhu Jue looked at the location on his phone at this moment. Number 5 was good, and the navigation APP showed the current area.
"This is...Xuejia Lane." He said with surprise.
"It is rumored that there are ghosts haunting in the middle of the night in Xuejia Lane, and the land developer ran away overnight?" Ah Yan suddenly became excited.
As we all know, every city has some legendary urban legends, strange stories, and haunted and ferocious places.
Xuejia Lane is one of the famous haunted places in Bincheng.
Is that professional Ah Li living here?
"We have to get off the car and walk in." Ding Ling said. This was not her first time here.
"Sister Lingdang, the things that Sister Aqi asked us to bring are in the back." The driver said.
"I understand." Ding Ling replied.
After several people got off the car, Ah Yan discovered that there were two huge suitcases behind the back seat. Are they the props he will use today?
Although Xuejia Lane is a well-known haunted place, because it is a century-old building and has an old theater, the cultural and museum units also carry out protective repairs every year. During the day, there are still curious tourists who come to take a look and take a few emotional photos.
Zhu Jue was carrying two boxes, and it was not easy to walk on the stone road. Ding Ling came over, picked up one of the boxes lightly and led the way.
Ah Yan and senior He Xing were both observing their surroundings carefully. The blue-gray brick walls were high, and they couldn't see what the courtyard in the alley looked like. However, there were people wearing beautiful clothes taking pictures here.
Several people were pushing boxes, they were handsome men and beautiful women, and it looked like a photography team looking for a place.
Following Dingling around, they finally arrived at a door. Before they could knock on it, the door with the copper ring suddenly creaked open by itself, and there was no one inside.
"A classic start to a horror movie." Ah Yan commented at this moment.
If they weren't so many in number and didn't know the special features of this place, it would still be a bit scary to face the door suddenly opening.
But since the Ghost King was here, Ah Yan was not afraid of anything. To be on the safe side, she even moved two bells out of the cupboard, feeling that she was carrying a lot more weight today.
After the four people entered, the door closed automatically with a "click". There was no wind today, but the ancient trees in the courtyard rustled, and a faint sobbing sound came from somewhere.
In short, the atmosphere of a horror movie is at its peak!
At this moment, Ah Yan saw Ding Ling put the suitcase on the ground and raised his hand to snap his fingers.
"Stop playing. I brought the things. You can take them yourselves."
After saying that, Ding Ling motioned Zhu Jue to throw the suitcase here. She led the three of them into the house. He Xing was stunned.
"Isn't that box what we need?"
"That's a prop for them. You don't need it," she said.
He Xing looked back at this moment and saw the black umbrella floating in the air.
Her heart skipped a beat and she turned around and followed him into the house. She saw a woman in a blood-red wedding dress sitting on an armchair with a cigarette in her mouth. She looked to be in her thirties, still very beautiful and graceful.
The woman rolled up her sleeves and cursed, "I said this size is not right." She looked at the person who came and greeted him, "Come on," and then called out, "You all go next door for a while."
He Xing looked around. She didn't see anyone else, but the door opened and closed again.
"Ah Li." Ding Ling called out and pointed at He Xing.
He Xing saw Ah Li wipe his eyelids and look at her, his face full of unconcealed surprise.
"We're going out, you guys talk." Ah Yan was just the go-between. At this moment, she took the initiative to go out with Jue Jue. The kids in the room had all gone out, and it was not appropriate for them to stay here as it involved matters concerning Senior Sister He Xing's privacy.
However, this Ah Mao looks a little familiar. Although she doesn't have a halo on her head, I always feel like I've seen this gorgeous face somewhere before.
The three of them went out, closed the door, and sat at the threshold outside.
Ah Yan looked at the locust tree that almost reached the sky and the ghostly figure running in the courtyard, and felt that he had walked directly into a haunted house.
"Eh?" A ghost girl holding an umbrella suddenly rushed over and looked at the three people.
"Sister Lingdang, there are two more of you. Long time no see!" She looked very happy.
"I haven't seen you two since the comic convention." He Jiajia spoke to A Yan and Zhu Jue.
"Do you want to experience our achievements in advance?"
Hmm? Comic exhibition? Ah Yan looked at the little ghost girl in front of him and slowly checked his memory. What he saw at that time was a masked female ghost in white clothes. Was it her?
"What results?" A Yan asked.
"Have you been transferred here recently?" Ding Ling asked.
"Yes, yes, isn't it that the group encourages wild ghosts to be self-reliant and not live on subsistence allowances? Sister A Li's ghost house entrepreneurship incubation base is recruiting people, so I came here." He Jiajia said excitedly.
Haunted House Entrepreneurship Incubation Base? Ah Yan felt as if something extraordinary had entered his ears.
"All the evil spirits that haunt Xuejia Lane have been taken in by Sister A-li. Now we give them a chance to reform themselves and transform their thoughts and behaviors. After the transformation, they can be put directly on the job." He Jiajia said blah blah.
"I want to compete for the position of leader of the female ghost team!"
After He Jiajia and Ding Ling's explanation, A Yan and Zhu Jue finally understood.
In recent years, for unknown reasons, there has been a phenomenon of spiritual energy revival. There are more and more abnormal situations in the world, and there are also many wandering ghosts. In addition, there are ghosts that have been staying in the world due to accidents. The special case team encourages big ghosts to lead small ghosts, Xuanmen ghosts to pair up, and supernatural industry incubation bases, etc. Otherwise, it is really not enough to make ends meet. Too many redundant ghosts cannot be supported. They can only be taken in for a maximum of three months. After that, they will either be reincarnated into the underworld or become self-reliant.
Right now, the entire Xuejia Alley has been contracted by "Ah Li" to become a haunted house entrepreneurship incubation base. Currently, ghost engineering mechanisms are being added without destroying the original building, in an effort to turn it into a supernatural haunted house to make a profit.
The two large boxes I brought today are some special props that Ah Li ordered from the group.
Ayan and Juejue were stunned after hearing what they heard, it’s so high, really high!
"By the way, why do I feel that Ah Li looks familiar, but I can't remember who he is?" She looked at Ding Ling.
"I know, I know!" The little ghost girl He Jiajia raised her hand at this moment.
"Sister A-li is Cheng Li!"
"Cheng Li?!" Ayan and Juejue said in unison.
Cheng Li was a well-known actress more than ten years ago. They watched Cheng Li's TV series when they were young! However, after she became popular, Cheng Li disappeared. There were rumors that Cheng Li became extremely haggard overnight, and some said that she raised a ghost and it backfired. After that, there was no news. Until now, she is still an old-time goddess that the Internet likes to count.
Ding Ling nodded seriously, "I don't know what happened in the past, but it seems that Ah Li just left because he was in the shedding period and had made enough money."
Ah Yan's face was frozen. Wait, what is the hair shedding period? Did she really hear it right? Why is there a hair shedding period?
The door behind her suddenly vibrated, as if it had heard their unhappy discussion. He Jiajia immediately fell silent and covered her mouth.
Ah Yan looked at her mobile phone and searched for photos of "Cheng Li" from that year. Twenty years ago, Cheng Li claimed to be twenty years old at that time, and his face was indeed younger than what he had just seen.
She glanced at her Moments and her eyes froze.
[Owner of the mysterious house - Zhuo Si]: The store is closed today, please don't go out.
Zhuo Si’s store is closed again on Saturday. Is there some ceremony going on?
...
Of course Zhuo Si didn't hold any ceremony because he was very busy today.
This is the seventh day since he was selected as an "Anomalous News Intern".
It is also the first day of his adventure.
The seven-day trial mentioned by the great voice finally arrived.
When he woke up this morning, he found a letter next to his pillow.
【News Intern: Zhuo Si】
[First trial location: Xuejia Lane]
[Your trial is about to begin. Please arrive at Xuejia Lane within 24 hours, investigate the truth of the strange news and survive.]
【If you do not go within 24 hours, you will be deemed to have automatically given up the trial and will be expelled.】
When Zhuo Si finished reading the letter, it seemed to have spontaneously ignited into the air, but the content of the letter was engraved in his mind.
By this time, Zhuo Si had packed his backpack and conducted an investigation of Xuejia Lane.
Just wait and see! His first attempt will be completed beautifully!
