Chapter 10 Chapter 10
Tang Yang didn't just roll up the kids and throw them into the haunted house, mainly because he didn't know where the haunted house was.
Looking at the smiling but determined child with a headache, how could he not know that what just happened was just a prank by the child, indirectly showing him his determination to follow him to the end.
only……
Tang Yang looked at Taoist Master Yunzhi, who was holding a peach wood sword in his left hand and a large compass in his right hand. He struggled for a moment, and finally reached for his neck as if he had made up his mind. In a moment, he took out a necklace from his clothes, took it off and handed it to Yuan Tian.
It was a bit similar to Tang Meng's, also with a wooden pendant hanging from a black rope. The difference was that his wooden pendant was engraved with intricate patterns, and it was hard to tell what it was at first glance.
Yuan Tian's eyes narrowed, and he put away some of his smile and asked, "For me?"
Tang Yang nodded, then shook his head: "You can go in if you want, just wear it and return it to me when you come out."
Xiao Li at the side exclaimed: "Boss Tang, that's not..."
Before he could finish his words, he was stopped by Tang Yang's eyes, and he had to shut his mouth unwillingly.
Yuan Tian stared at the pendant for a long time before smiling and saying, "This is the amulet given to you by your elders, right? You're giving it to me like this, what about yourself?"
Tang Yang pulled Yuan Tian in front of him, put the rope around Yuan Tian's neck in a few seconds, and then patted his chest and said calmly: "I am an atheist."
"..." The action was quite cool and free, but would an atheist carry an amulet with him, and give it to him at such a critical moment? Yuan Tian felt speechless for a moment.
The phone in his hand vibrated twice again, and Yuan Tian had no choice but to hold the wooden sign. He tightened his grip, and after a moment he put the wooden sign into his collar. Then he looked up at Tang Yang and smiled brightly from the bottom of his heart: "Thank you, Brother Tang."
When he smiled, his eyebrows and eyes were curved, and there was a small canine tooth on the right side of his white teeth. That kind of sunny smile from the inside out was very attractive, forming a great contrast with the alienation when we first met last night and the laziness afterwards.
Tang Yang was in a daze for a moment, and suddenly felt that this kid didn't deserve a beating. He nodded and said nonchalantly, "No need to thank me."
Regardless of whether the amulet is useful or not, Tang Yang had to give it to Yuan Tian just because he saved Tang Meng. Otherwise, he would feel uneasy. Moreover, he also had his own considerations.
Tang Yang looked at Taoist Master Yunzhi who was looking at Yuan Tian with a curious expression. He was the one he paid for, so if something happened, he would definitely protect him. But if something happened to Yuan Tian, that might not be the case.
Xiao Li was left outside. If there was no news from the three of them before noon, Xiao Li would have to adopt other plans.
The building has installed an identification system. Normally, people who are not from the company need to have the front desk girl open the door for them to enter or exit, but today the company is closed.
In fact, Tang Yang could have stayed out of the elevator and let Xiao Li lead the way for the Taoist priest. But Tang Yang thought that the company was his own, and it would be unreasonable for him to push his employees into the fire pit if something went wrong. Besides, he thought that as long as he sent the Taoist priest to the elevator, he could come out and wait for him to come out, and there would be no danger.
The three of them walked into the building, and Taoist Yunzhi would occasionally look back at Yuan Tian, his eyes full of inquiry. It was not until Tang Yang went over to identify and open the door that he approached Yuan Tian and asked with a half-master look: "Little brother, I think you look familiar, have we met somewhere before?"
Yuan Tian said innocently: "Really? Maybe we have passed each other on the street before."
He smiled, with three parts of shyness and seven parts of pride, and puffed out his chest and said, "It's because I'm too handsome and good-looking. There are always some people who can't forget me after seeing me. It's not surprising."
Taoist Master Yunzhi: “…………”
Perhaps because he had never seen such a shameless person, the Taoist priest turned around and left. It looked like he wished he had never spoken to Yuan Tian.
With a bit of resentment, the Taoist priest threw a few talismans to Tang Yang when he passed by, and then walked in angrily.
Holding a few pieces of talisman paper in his hand, Tang Yang looked at the Taoist priest in confusion, then at Yuan Tian: What did you do?
The child shrugged at him innocently: I was just telling the truth.
"Why don't you just go? What are you standing there for?"
The Taoist priest's unpleasant voice interrupted the two people's exchange of glances. Tang Yang hurriedly responded and pulled the child inside. The elevator in the building also has an identification system, which requires fingerprints or faces. The Taoist priest cannot go up alone.
What he didn't notice was that when he was pulling Yuan Tian inside, the child deliberately switched the phone to his other hand and kept it away from the talisman in his hand the whole time.
In the elevator, the three of them were each acting on their own. Seeing Tang Yang press the 20th floor, Yuan Tian asked curiously, "Are the companies on other floors of the building affected?"
"There are no other companies," Tang Yang said with a smug smile, "I built this building. Currently, there is only one company, mine, occupying the 20th and 21st floors. The other floors are not open to the public yet, but are expected to be open next month."
No wonder this place is so deserted and unpopular. Yuan Tian gave him a thumbs up: "Great!"
He built such a building in the city center at such a young age, a real landlord. Yuan Tian was envious. If he also had such a huge asset, he wouldn't have to hide like a rat.
Taoist Yunzhi looked at Tang Yang with three parts of envy and seven parts of jealousy. This guy was born into a lucky family!
When the elevator door opened, a gust of cold air hit me in the face.
Taoist Master Yunzhi took a deep breath and said, "Such a strong yin energy!"
Yuan Tian couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's so cold!"
He pointed to the central air conditioner on the ceiling of the company's front desk outside the elevator and said in surprise: "Brother Tang, look, your company's air conditioner is not turned off!"
Taoist Priest: “…………”
…………
Half a minute later, Xiao Li's cell phone suddenly rang outside the building. He looked at the phone and it was his boss! Xiao Li suddenly became nervous. Did something unexpected happen inside?
He hurriedly picked up the phone: "Boss Tang, what's wrong?"
His boss's gnashing voice rang out: "The company's air conditioner was not turned off, and the lights were not turned off. I don't know how long they have been on. Who is responsible for this?"
Xiao Li: “…………”
He hung up the phone with a "click".
Tang Yang, who had already walked out of the elevator: "..."
He curled his lips and smiled coldly, his eyes full of coldness: "Do you think that if you hang up the phone quickly, the fine will not catch up with you... Ha, naive!"
Yuan Tian, who was standing aside, had a distressed look on his face: "It's a two-story building with such a large area, and it has central air-conditioning, but it's still so cold... How much will the electricity bill be!" There are so many things to do with this money!
Precise strike. Tang Yang's face became even colder, and he was emitting cold air, even colder than an air conditioner.
The Taoist priest on the side: “…………”
He said to the two with mixed feelings, "I just measured it, there is not much Yin energy on this floor. If anything happens, the talismans in your hands are enough to support you to escape. Okay, I'll go upstairs to take a look. After turning off the air conditioner, you should hurry out and don't stay."
After saying this, he ran towards the safe passage with the peach wood sword and compass and went straight to the 21st floor.
As soon as he left, Yuan Tian was obviously relieved. The phone case in her hand vibrated, and Xiao Jing flew out of it and turned twice under the air conditioner.
Then the little ghost cheered: "It's so comfortable!"
Tang Yang, who saw him crawl out of Yuan Tian’s cell phone with his own eyes: “…………” I thought the kid had changed his nature and ran away, but I didn’t expect he was hiding there.
Yuan Tian glanced at Xiao Jing with a smile, then looked away as if nothing had happened and looked at Tang Yang: "Let's go, turn off the air conditioner."
Tang Yang also pretended not to see the little ghost, nodded and led him inside. At the same time, he began to doubt the talisman given by the Taoist priest. The little ghost was not afraid of this thing! Or was it that the talisman would only work if it touched the body?
As he was thinking that, he heard the child floating behind Yuan Tian, saying coquettishly: "Boss, please don't turn off the air conditioner, okay? I like this kind of cold wind, it's so comfortable..."
Tang Yang paused and looked at Yuan Tian in surprise and suspicion - Boss?
"What's wrong?" Yuan Tian asked doubtfully, "Why are you looking at me like this suddenly?"
Before Tang Yang could answer, Xiao Jing shouted, "Boss, there's a ghost ahead!"
Hearing this, Yuan Tian and Tang Yang subconsciously looked forward.
In front of me, the light at the company's front desk cabinet was flickering, sometimes bright and sometimes dim. At the same time, where the receptionist should have been standing, a man was standing there, sometimes real and sometimes fake.
Bloodstained ancient clothes from an unknown era, sunken eyes without whites, pale skin, messy hair, and the corners of the mouth that were getting wider and higher...
Xiao Jing cheered: "The shape is so cool and scary!"
Yuan Tian urged him, "Go learn from him."
Tang Yang: "...How can learning be scary?"
“…………”
The scene became weird for a moment.
After a moment, Yuan Tian looked at Tang Yang and said, "Brother Tang, you can see ghosts!"
The affirmative sentence he used was enough to show that he was 100% sure about it.
Seeing that he couldn't hide it any longer, Tang Yang stopped pretending and said, "You can see it too!"
Xiao Jing was beside him in disbelief: "So, Brother Tang, you have been pretending all along. You can clearly see me!"
Tang Yang turned his head away silently without saying anything.
Xiao Jing's mouth drooped and she started to cry: "My breakfast, my buns... wuwuwu, if I had known you could see me, I would have asked the boss to offer them to me..."
The little ghost looked so pitiful when he cried. Tang Yang felt soft in his heart and snorted, "At worst, I can prepare an extra portion for you tomorrow..."
Xiao Jing stopped crying and held up two fingers: "Two!"
"That's too much!" Yuan Tian said unhappily, "I, your boss, only ate one portion, how dare you eat two!"
"Well, since I didn't get to eat it today, I have to make up for it..."
"no……"
Seeing the man and the ghost about to quarrel, Tang Yang hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Stop arguing, stop arguing, two portions each, okay!"
The ghost at the front desk who was ignored the whole time: “…………” Give me some face?
No, he couldn't let the evil ghost down! Thinking of this, the ghost suddenly opened its bloody mouth and shouted: "Roar!!!"
Along with the piercing sound, there was also a wave of negative energy centered around him.
Xiao Jing covered her ears in pain: "The sound is so terrible!"
Yuan Tian looked relieved: "Fortunately the ghost is not breathing!"
Tang Yang stuffed the talisman paper into his hand and said, "I just don't know if the ghost's jaw will be dislocated. Look at his mouth, it's so wide open..."
ghost:"…………"
He slowly retracted his chin and closed his mouth, feeling a sense of despair in his heart.
