Black Shop
The woman had long hair like a waterfall, bright red lips, and snow-white skin mixed with black and red, like a bright painting of a lady.
Oh yes, she has a "victim" on her hands.
The white wolf looked at her shadow and lowered his body, his teeth as sharp as knives were ready to fight. Even though his spiritual power was unstable, he himself was the greatest weapon.
"This is a restaurant. Sister, what are you doing..." Li Xingzang patted Bailang's head and glanced at the "victim" who was without a piece of clothing. Without thinking too much, she understood what had happened.
"I'm here to find the child." The ghost's voice was not as weak as her appearance, but as bright as a lamp.
Li Xingzang tilted his head as he looked at the man in her hand, "You came here to find the child, and you brought this thing with you?" Bai Lang was originally wary of the female ghost outside, but when he heard her say that, he turned around in surprise.
Perhaps it was because he'd become a vampire and had human blood on his hands. If it were the old Li Xingzang, seeing someone like this, her first reaction would have been to call the police, primarily to find the person he'd hurt. But now, this person had clearly run into a tough opponent and was dealt with immediately, so why would she bother?
retribution.
"Oh, this..." The female ghost casually threw him aside. "I saw him lying alone in the snow, so I kindly took him down the mountain. But he was so unruly. As a woman, I had no choice but to strip him and try to freeze him."
Li Xingzang's heart skipped a beat as he watched her move. "Sister, there are surveillance cameras outside!"
"...What?" The ghost looked at her in confusion. Li Xingzang sighed and called the police station. Of course, she asked the ghost to throw the man a little further away.
"You said you came here to look for your child. Tell me in detail." Bai Lang was getting more and more confused about what Li Xingzang was trying to do. It was obvious that this ghost had come with bad intentions. He came with a frozen man in his arms, and she was actually talking to him in a nice tone?
The female ghost glanced at the ferocious white wolf and said, "There's a boy, about this tall, about five or six years old. I'm here to find him."
Li Xingzang didn't care when she saw her still standing outside the door. "The boy you mentioned, is he a human? Or..."
The female ghost smiled, and her already gorgeous features became even more vivid. "Of course, the one I'm looking for is not a human. It's my son, who is also a little ghost."
Li Xingzang pondered. Recently, there was only one little ghost who came to her place. "What's your son's name?" Seeing hope in the ghost's eyes, she waved her hand. "Since you can find this place, you must know what kind of place this is. We have a lot of little demons and ghosts here. I need to know their names to help you find someone, oh no, a ghost."
They thought the female ghost had come prepared, but the ghost and the wolf were surprised to find that she looked confused. "What do you mean? What kind of place is this?"
Li Xingzang and Yu Shishi fell silent at the same time.
"You don't know where this is? Then why are you looking for a child here?"
"You said this was a restaurant. My son kept saying he was hungry, so I thought he came here."
What a simple conversation, what a simple "mother".
Bullshit!
Li Xingzang felt that this ghost was completely wrong. "What's your son's name?" After confirming that it was Xiao He, she pulled the child out to ask. Why did she feel that the child was more sensible than this "adult"? He had even helped He Yishu pick vegetables these past two days.
"My son's name is Zhou Limin."
Li Xingzang and Yu Shishi looked at each other. Isn't it Xiaohe?
"What's your son's zodiac sign?" Officer Yu, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly asked. Li Xingzang suddenly realized what Xiao He had said: his zodiac sign was Tiger, and he was five years old. At first, she'd been puzzled, wondering how someone born in the Year of the Tiger could be five years old. It was only later that Yu Sishi told him that after becoming a ghost, people clearly remember the age at which they died. So Xiao He must have meant that he was born in the Year of the Tiger and had died at the age of five.
"I'm a rooster."
"Your son was born in 1993. In which year did he die?" Yu Shishi's voice was calm but contained a sigh.
"In 1998, he..." The female ghost seemed to remember something, tears of blood streaming from her eyes, "Xiaomin kept complaining about being hungry, so I had no choice but to... go and steal some food, but... I was discovered..."
Li Xingzang looked at her in surprise as her originally clean white clothes turned gray. This was definitely not the dress of this era.
"That family was nice. Not only did they not scold me, they even gave me extra food."
"Then you..." Li Xingzang looked at her clothes and suddenly opened his eyes wide, "What did you do?!"
The female ghost looked miserable. "I made him a delicious meal, but it...it contained pesticides."
However, with only a door between them, the inside and outside of the store became two different worlds.
A modern restaurant with bright windows and clean tables, marble tables, LCD screens, and laptops on the bar... The female ghost seemed to have suddenly seen this world. "Isn't it... 1998?"
The year 1998 was of great significance to both Li Xingzang and Yu Sishi.
This is especially true for the woman outside the door.
Li Xingzang and Yu Shishi looked at each other's sad eyes, and many things no longer needed to be said.
"Come in first." Li Xingzang opened the door, took the woman's cold wrist, and pulled her into the store.
The woman who originally had a cheerful face suddenly became uneasy. She touched the sofa tentatively and said, "It's so soft." It seemed like something she had heard from her coworkers, something that only people in big cities have.
A police car roared past, and the frozen man was taken to the hospital. With his good hearing, he heard the police talking about a fugitive rapist who had been stripped naked and thrown in the snow for some reason.
Li Xingzang's eyes dimmed. When she saw the man, she smelled the disgusting smell of his blood.
"May I have your name?"
"My name is Wei Chunhua, and I used to work in a factory." She looked at the crystal clear glass in amazement, and the pink flower buds blooming in the hot tea made her smile.
"What era is it now?" she asked, looking at the decoration inside the store.
"2024." Thinking of the "Venus Cabaret" on the white dress that she had just ignored, Li Xingzang's voice was heavy. She didn't want to know so much about what happened to Wei Chunhua.
"It's been so many years..." She sighed and looked up at the two of them, "Thank you."
Li Xingzang looked at her knowingly and asked, "Do you want to find your son?"
Wei Chunhua nodded. "He's still young and may not be able to control his own strength. I have to get him back."
"What about you?" Yu Sishi blushed, "You can control the power in your body, but you are not a ghost at all. Where did you get this level of power? It can't be that you have been practicing diligently for so many years." She didn't even know what time it was.
Wei Chunhua looked at Bai Lang, then at Li Xingzang, as if he had just realized something was wrong. "You...you are not human!?"
How refreshing! There is no one in this room now!
"What kind of place is this?" Li Xingzang looked at her curiously as she released her power. Although this person was unfortunate during his lifetime, why was he sometimes lucid and sometimes stupid after his death?
A huge ghost cultivation force erupted from Li Xingzang, pinning Wei Chunhua to the sofa, unable to move. She looked at Li Xingzang in astonishment, "Who are you? Are you in the same group as those people?! Xiaomin was taken away by you! Give my son back to me!"
Tears of blood flowed from her eyes again, and a sinister aura enveloped the entire restaurant. In the backyard, He Yishu looked up in surprise. Who was this? Seeking death right under the noses of Boss Li and Officer Yu?
"Bang!" Li Xingzang looked at Wei Chunhua lying on the ground with a cold expression. "Sister, I kindly let you into the shop for tea, why don't you know how to appreciate my kindness?"
"Ha!" Wei Chunhua no longer concealed the circumstances of his death. His gorgeous facial features, painted with yin energy and blood, truly presented the terrifying appearance of a ghost.
"I just realized that you smell like a vampire. You're in cahoots with them!" Wei Chunhua looked around. "You're basically a shady shop!"
"Hey--!" The remaining sympathy in Li Xingzang's heart was shattered by her two words. Boss Li was an honest man and his shop was also run by an honest business. "Black shop" was such an insult!
Bai Lang stared at Boss Li's thunderous rage in amazement, silently closed his eyes and moved back, "Um... Boss Li, leave him alive..." he reminded in a low voice.
"Hmph~" Boss Li snorted coldly in his busy schedule, agreeing to cooperate with the police in their investigation.
…
"Are you willing to talk nicely?" Li Xingzang leaned over and asked, stepping on the female ghost's sharp claws.
Wei Chunhua looked at her with red eyes, "Even if my soul is torn to pieces, I will not let you take me away and harm others!"
A dazzling red light burst out from her body, and Bai Lang stood up suddenly, "Stop!" Golden chains flew out of his body and tied Wei Chunhua tightly to the ground.
"Wei Chunhua, I'm Yu Shishi from the Special Intelligence Bureau, and this is my ID." Without the outer shell of Samoyed, the White Wolf's majestic figure made the hotel lobby seem much smaller.
Wei Chunhua didn't know what the Special Intelligence Bureau was, but she recognized the golden wheat ear badge.
"Are you from...the government?"
Bai Lang nodded, and Li Xingzang sighed. For Wei Chunhua, the words "country" and "government" were more trustworthy than anything she did.
The two ghosts and one wolf sat down on the sofa again.
"Are you willing to tell me what happened this time?"
Wei Chunhua looked confused. "Actually... I don't really know what's going on."
"In 1998, Xiaomin, my wife, and I drank pesticide. We were supposed to follow the ghost, but when we passed a mountain, we were all sucked in. I thought I had died at that time."
"But a while ago, I suddenly 'came back to life' and found myself with strength. I even found Xiaomin. I was doing fine in the mountains, but suddenly a group of strange people came and took away all the other ghosts in the mountains. I vaguely heard them say that they wanted to put the ghosts into some kind of altar."
"Is there a vampire among that group?" Li Xingzang suddenly asked.
Wei Chunhua glanced at her cautiously, feeling a little guilty about her rudeness. "It's just that the smell is a little similar, but not as pure as yours..." She thought for a moment, "Not as pure as yours."
Li Xingzang knew that she was from the last century and her words were clear, but it still sounded strange to him.
"You mean those vampires have mixed bloodlines, and their power isn't as pure as hers?" Wei Chunhua nodded hurriedly after hearing Yu Sishi's words. "That's right. They smell like..." She looked around, "like rotten meat mixed with good meat to make mincemeat, but it's still disgusting."
Got it, synthetic meat.
"That... comrade police officer, I know what I did just now was wrong, but I also had my reasons, right..." Wei Chunhua smiled apologetically, his meaning was obvious.
Li Xingzang was about to say something when Yu Sishi interrupted her, "Killing someone means paying with your life, and debts must be paid back. This is only natural."
"Then how can I pay for my life?" Wei Chunhua was a little disapproving.
"My colleague will explain this to you clearly." Outside the hotel, another car stopped. It was the Nighthawk that Li Xingzang had seen before.
