Chapter 22 Guest Host
He clearly felt the pressure on his chest, where the rough hand gripped his heart hard, and the hollow eye sockets that rotted away were very close at hand.
His breathing stopped at this moment, and he did not dare to move. He moved his buttocks outwards, and the knuckles of his fingers holding on to the quilt to relieve his emotions protruded, and his eyelashes could not help but tremble a few times.
Zhang Jigang knew that he was attracting ghosts, but he didn't expect that he would run away from his hometown for a leisure vacation and meet ghosts and ghosts he had never seen before. He was so unlucky!
Based on experience, he guessed that the ghost had no eyesight and could only rely on sound and heat to find its direction, so Zhang Jigang did not dare to speak out again until he found out the identity of the other party.
That is to say, he had just been frightened and shouted "Help" at the top of his lungs.
It's out of character... I hope Cui Yu won't hear it and make fun of himself again.
The ghost saw that the restlessness disappeared, and the surroundings returned to silence and darkness, and a disappointed expression appeared on his face.
"Ouch... uh..."
The other person was short, and it seemed like something had been poured into his throat. When he opened it, a putrid smell came out from inside, as if there was a wound inside.
There were several scars left on the lips, and the upper teeth could be seen in the depths. The most ridiculous thing was that the ghost only had half of his tongue.
The ghost that appeared inexplicably couldn't find him, so he grabbed the air randomly.
Seeing that it was effective, Zhang Jigang also followed him to hide and seek, carefully moving from the bed to the wall, moving close to the wall.
"...Woo...Woo..."
The ghost couldn't catch anyone, and cried sadly while vomiting blood. His voice was very clear, it was a little boy.
Zhang Jigang suddenly felt soft and stood there without moving.
But just now in panic, he blurted out a signal for help, and not long after, he heard the bathroom door being pushed open with a clang.
Cui Yu suddenly appeared in front of him without knowing what method he used.
Zhang Jigang corrected him in a low voice: "...I didn't want to shout, but it's actually nothing."
It was indeed nothing, maybe it was just a lonely ghost wandering around here.
The air was muggy on a rainy day, so he happened to open the window above, and something sneaked in inadvertently.
"Go down." Cui Yu shouted sharply at the ghost.
While speaking, she didn't forget to get closer and pulled him closer to her. "That's why I told you to wait for me to go upstairs together, but you didn't listen."
The ghost heard human voices, and there were still two of them.
Regardless of the bloody injuries on his body, he climbed closer to Zhang Jigang, crawled into his arms, and bit his fingers nervously.
Cui Yu raised his eyebrows, with a hint of coldness in his eyes: "What does he want to do, pervert, take advantage?"
Zhang Jigang said helplessly: "Brother, you think everyone is like you, but to me... forget it. "I think it's obvious who he is hiding from. He didn't dare to show up until he saw us coming." He couldn't
bear to look at her, and the half-naked man wrapped in a bath towel in front of him made him even more confused.
Zhang Jigang coughed and reminded: "You... put on your clothes first!"
Cui Yu: "I'm worried that something will happen to you. You see, my premonition is not accurate."
He had already discovered the clues in the house and didn't say anything. Clearly, he was lying on a mattress that was too good to be true, and his face was touched by a ghost!
The ghost couldn't speak and couldn't ask what happened here. Zhang Jigang and Cui Yu looked at each other: "Transform, go back and ask questions first."
The half-naked man smiled: "Master, I listen to you."
Zhang Ji Hong Kong was angry and ashamed, and looked away: "Don't talk to me like that, it's so speechless."
The light flashed, and there was an erect needle in the palm of his hand. Zhang Jigang grabbed the child and said, "Don't I'm afraid, come with me and go take a look when something happens to you."
The boy's wounds were vaguely visible, and they didn't look like old wounds. As expected, as the ghost realm unfolded, the ghost's flesh and skin gradually recovered and became what it was like in life.
His face was a little dark, but his eyes were bright, with tears rolling down his face, he hugged Zhang Jigang tightly and said cowardly: "Brother...please spare me...I really have never seen that thing [Siyue Fox]" , let me go home, wuwu..."
The child kept begging as if he was mentally disturbed, covering his face with his hands in extreme fear, as if he was being detained here and being tortured.
Cui Yu reacted instantly when he heard what he was mumbling. He pointed to the directory: "He is talking about the four-star magical weapon, Siyue Fox."
"Is it an animal?" Zhang Jigang quickly opened the directory. I followed the names one by one and saw the detailed introduction:
Magical weapon No. 29 [Siyue Fox], unknown appearance.
Level: four stars.
Abilities: changeable form, extremely lethal, traceable to the target object's use. It loses its life indicators and can possess various objects.
Instructions for use: It is difficult to control. Generally, ghost exorcists should not approach without authorization and report its whereabouts to the apostles of the underworld.
Applicable to: Any object marked with cursed mana.
"What is this? I have never seen such a perfunctory guide... It's the same as not saying anything!"
Zhang Jigang also did not forget to sarcastically say: "You are so clear and easy to understand that even a novice like me can master it. Method."
The pocket watch jumped in the palm of his hand, as if complaining.
"Brother...are you a ghost exorcist?" The boy regained consciousness and was surprised to see the flesh growing out.
"We are not locals. We are traveling from other places. We are novices in this industry."
Because he didn't know much about it, Zhang Jigang didn't dare to say too much to the boy, and even ignored his magic weapon.
Cui Yu: "You won't introduce me?"
Zhang Jigang: "...You, you are just a show."
The conversation changed and he asked the boy: "Do you remember why you stayed in this room and what was the cause of your death? The boy
glanced at the unfamiliar room structure in confusion and shook his head: "Brother, my name is A Chao, Chao Shui Chao. My cousin and I came from other villages. We both became thieves in order to make money... But I, we don’t steal money, we just look for magic weapons according to the guest’s requirements. “
Thief!
Zhang Jigang was shaken. He didn't expect Tu Mingliang's joke to come true. There were really thieves in this village.
Ah Chao stood up slowly and walked around the room a few times with a confused expression: "...I was locked up in a warehouse before because my cousin and I didn't complete the guest's request on time, and we were tortured so miserably... …he……"
The boy and his cousin Ajiao, who is one year older than him, both grew up in Linhai Village, which is also the village with the closest connection between the whole town and the outside world. When he was a child, he saw a large number of people from other villages in different clothes getting off the civilian boats. The old man told them that those people were ghost exorcists.
Ah Chao had some psychic abilities since he was a child, but his family had no money to study with a teacher, so he could only follow his cousin and wait for the opportunity to work as a coolie for people from other villages.
Knowing the location and being agile, he quickly learned the skills and methods to make money over time - stealing magic weapons.
The 14th of every month is the town's prayer day. On this day, people in the village will gather at the seaside and throw their family's food and livestock meat into the sea, which means praying to the sea god for protection.
After the event was over, the remaining villagers spontaneously formed small tribes and sat around the campfire chatting about the origins of ghost exorcists and magic weapons.
He also heard from that time that powerful exorcists from ancient times would store many magic weapons in order to deal with various situations in the ghost realm.
He asked the old man in the village: "Then the people from other villages came to the town by boat to find magic weapons? Isn't it enough that they have so many good things in their packages?"
The old man replied: "They have never been to the village before. The magical weapons in the catalog are not even high-level. If an insider takes a look at them, they will only say that they are a butcher's knife for slaughtering cattle and sheep, or a sweeping monk's broom. A powerful kid can break it with one finger."
"What? Directory? Old man, I only follow people to take jobs. I will take whatever they ask me to take..."
"One record records the famous ghost exorcists of the past. The name of the other part has been changed, and it is called Judgment of Evil. There are hundreds of magic weapons recorded on it. The higher the level, the more priceless it is... But none of us have seen it. "
The old man has never seen it. He is just a fisherman who makes money by soliciting customers, but there are people in the village who claim to have seen it.
This person is Tu Yisi, the ghost exorcist who has been looking for [Siyue Fox], and he was also Ah Chao's last guest.
"Brother, don't be angry... I didn't choose to be a thief. Many people in the village depend on this for a living. If you just buy a magic weapon and sell it in the trading market, it will cover the food expenses of the whole family for several months."
Zhang Ji Gang himself has been poor, and he knows that when people are poor to a certain extent, it is easy to go astray. In the past, when he had no money in his pocket, when he saw beggars pretending to be blind while walking, he wanted to step forward and kick them.
Damn it, I haven't even knelt down to beg. You haven't even hidden the necklace around your neck. Is it okay for an adult with hands and feet to beg on the overpass?
But he resisted and did not rob the lower grade children in the school. Instead, he focused on venting his anger on Cui Yu.
It can be said that Cuiyu's table cave is a special place. From time to time, some imported snacks and hot soy milk buns are placed. Cuiyu has a tricky taste and does not eat or drink.
One time he watched two classes and found that the things in the desk hole were still intact. Cui Yu's deskmate at the time, Fatty, couldn't help but remind him: "Ji Gang, you have already spotted the sparks... Brother Yu said that he I'm not used to drinking sugary things. If you're hungry, I'll leave it to you." Zhang
Jigang couldn't stand it, so he said, "I'm not hungry... I'm not you. I eat all day long."
Oops: "Brother, I have pocket money. You are poor, so I will definitely give it to you..."
He relied on Cui Yu's table hole to avoid the death of a young thief.
But obviously, this boy was not as lucky as him. He could not afford to eat and was so hungry that he was as thin as a stick. He was also tricked by the people in the village into making money. At a young age, he dared to touch the restricted area of the ghost exorcist profession.
Zhang Jigang told the truth: "My uncle and grandpa said that if you steal other people's magic weapons, you will be targeted by the evil spirit. Even if the owner does not trouble you in the long run, your health will get worse and worse. Your cousin did not cooperate with you." You say?"
Ah Chao said with a sad face: "Of course my cousin knows, but the chieftain will give us a house if the deal is completed. I have seen the gold nuggets and jewelry in his luggage, he will not be stingy. "
Then what?"
Ah Chao said with trembling lips: "Then...my cousin and I went to the back mountain, followed the direction of the magic weapon given to us by Tu Yi, and entered a cave. But there is only one woman there, a very beautiful woman..."
