In the next few days.
Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing's life was very smooth. Working the night shift at convenience store No. 444 was very smooth, and they didn't encounter any dirty things.
During this period, the relationship between the two and the soul ferryman Zhao Li became increasingly good.
Even.
As a female college student, Wang Xiaoya also visits convenience store No. 444 every now and then.
Life is very comfortable.
But Ye Xiao always feels that...
Right now, it’s just the calm before the storm!
That night.
Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing were still eating instant noodles in the rental house.
Now the two of them have reached the point where they are running out of ammunition and food.
Money?
That's not a penny left.
All wasted.
"Brother Ye, we can hardly survive this day."
Xia Dongqing smiled bitterly.
"If you see the boss tonight, tell me about overdrafting your salary in advance."
Ye Xiao replied that he never expected that one day he would worry about food, rice, oil and salt.
Xia Dongqing nodded heavily. Although Li Zhao seemed very mysterious in his eyes and seemed very difficult to deal with, he could only bite the bullet right now.
While eating instant noodles, the two of them also watched the local news station.
"Currently, there are many missing persons in our city. If you have any clues about these missing persons, please call our station. If the public provides useful and valuable clues, our station will reward them ranging from 500 yuan to 5,000 yuan."<
/p>
A beautiful female reporter wearing a black suit is reporting news.
At the same time, photos appeared one after another on the TV screen.
Originally, Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing would not take such a news report seriously at all.
There is never a lot of similar news.
For example, you can be rewarded for providing clues to criminals, and you can be rewarded for reporting violations of law and discipline, etc.
However.
When they saw a familiar photo on the TV screen, both of them opened their eyes wide and round.
Just because one of the photos shows an old grandfather who looks very kind and friendly.
How could they forget this old man?
It was when they worked the night shift on their first day at convenience store No. 444 that a mourning team appeared at 12 o'clock in the morning.
Among them, the first two are.
One person holds the spiritual tablet.
One person is holding a meditation photo.
This is the old man in the dark photo.
"Brother Ye, am I right? This old man is definitely the same person as the old man in the photo. Even the wrinkles on his face and the positions of the two big moles are exactly the same!"
Xia Dongqing's face turned pale with fright. He also saw the grandfather's name on the TV screen - Zhang Baiguo.
"It's the same person. It's just that something is wrong. Why would those ghosts hold a funeral for Zhang Baiguo? Everyone wears sackcloth and mourning, crying loudly, and scattering yellow paper all over the street!"
Thinking of the scene he saw that night, Ye Xiao frowned, feeling that this thing was too weird and bizarre.
Xia Dongqing also nodded repeatedly.
Next.
The two of them racked their brains thinking about these things.
The end.
Ye Xiao, who had experienced many storms and waves, suddenly had a flash of inspiration in his head, and an extremely bold idea came to his mind.
"I seem to understand."
He spoke.
"Understand what?"
Xia Dongqing quickly asked.
"The ghost is holding a funeral for Zhang Baiguo, and then, Zhang Baiguo disappears mysteriously, which is definitely a bad thing. Therefore, as long as someone's spiritual position and someone's shadow appear in that weird funeral procession, then this person will definitely disappear.
You will definitely die!"
Ye Xiao said in a serious tone, "This is like a curse."
He said this.
Xia Dongqing also gradually understood, and her face turned pale.
"This is too terrible, too terrible..."
He murmured to himself, praying in his heart that he would never see those ghosts wearing sackcloth and mourning again.
I thought they were a group of filial sons and daughters, but I realized they were a group of ghosts who eat people without spitting out their bones!
"As a soul ferryman, the boss may know more about this matter."
Ye Xiao said with determination.
Xia Dongqing nodded.
Soon.
It's already around eight o'clock in the evening.
The two of them also rushed to work at convenience store No. 444.
On the way.
However, their bodies gradually became stiff.
Just because, the choking cry came from their ears again.
There were mixed cries, from men, women, old and young.
"Brother Ye, we are so unlucky to meet them again..."
The corners of Xia Dongqing's mouth trembled.
"Speak less, lower your head, and pretend you didn't see it."
Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows and said, wondering if he was being targeted by the system, otherwise such a terrible thing would happen to him again by chance.
Sure enough.
A group of people came not far away.
These people were wearing sackcloth and mourning, weeping heartily, and they also scattered yellow paper all over the sky.
The first two people still hold a spiritual tablet, and the other holds a meditation photo.
However, Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing subconsciously glanced at Mingzhao from the corners of their eyes.
This time.
Mingzhao is no longer an old man, but a mature-looking young man.
The two young men still feel strangely familiar.
Isn't it Zhang Hao, an old employee working the day shift at convenience store No. 444?
Soon.
This line of ghosts is gradually drifting away.
Although there were many people coming and going around, no one noticed these ghosts.
Normally, people cannot see ghosts.
"Brother Ye, Zhang Hao... I'm afraid he's going to die!"
Xia Dongqing's face turned pale.
"Let's go to the store quickly and have a look."
Ye Xiao nodded and said.
The two of them strode into the store, and saw that the old employee Zhang Hao was still playing mobile games by himself, and he was very absorbed in the game.
"My teammates are so stupid! I can't bear to use my ultimate move!"
Zhang Hao looks to be in his thirties, with dark skin, and he is cursing at his teammates who cheat him.
"Zhang Hao."
Ye Xiao was the first to speak.
"You two are here! It's almost time, I'll get off work first!"
Zhang Hao looked up and saw Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing, with bright smiles on their faces and ready to slip away.

"Wait."
Xia Dongqing quickly stopped Zhang Hao.
"Holly, what's wrong?"
Zhang Hao also had a good sense of Xia Dongqing, a new colleague who was honest, fawning and conscientious.
"Zhang Hao, have you encountered anything strange recently?"
Xia Dongqing asked.
"No, what's so weird about that? Holly, you're not going to tell me that there are ghosts in this world, are you? Have you watched too many ghost movies?"
Zhang Hao looked amused.
"Wait a minute. Wait for our boss in the store. Our boss is a soul ferryman and is very good at dealing with ghosts."
Xia Dongqing warned.
However, Zhang Hao didn't take his words seriously at all.
"Holly, watch less ghost movies and don't substitute those ghosts and ghosts into the real world."
Zhang Hao patted Xia Dongqing on the shoulder.
Xia Dongqing still wants to persuade.
But Zhang Hao has left regardless.
"Brother Ye, what should we do?"
Xia Dongqing looked anxious.
"I am also helpless. I feel that neither of us can protect ourselves."
Ye Xiao sighed, Zhang Hao, an old employee, could not help even if he wanted to. At the moment, he is no better than ordinary people.
"Ah! Can't you protect yourself?"
Xia Dongqing was shocked.
Ye Xiao took out his own peace talisman, but he could see that more than half of the peace talisman had turned into ashes.
The same is true for Xia Dongqing's Peace Talisman, most of it is filled with ashes.
"This..."
Xia Dongqing looked stunned.
"I'm afraid this peace charm won't be able to protect us for long. We'd better stay in the store and wait for the boss to come."
Ye Xiao said.
Xia Dongqing nodded silently.
Time passes minute by minute.
The store was very quiet, there were no customers, and no ghosts appeared.
Both of them are quietly waiting for Official Zhao!
"Didi!"
At this moment, a car horn honked outside the store, and the sound of the horn kept ringing, making the eardrums of those who heard it uncomfortable.
Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing looked at each other, and they knew very well that they liked to honk the horn so much, and they were actually playing some sexy tricks. Only Zhao Li could do these things.
Sure enough.
A figure pushed open the convenience store glass sliding door.
Here comes Official Zhao.
However, Official Zhao's face was dark and he seemed not to be in a good mood.
Seeing this, Xia Dongqing, who had wanted to overdraft his salary in advance, was like a ball deflated. He said nothing and did not dare to step forward.
"Holly, take action, do you want us to eat dirt next?"
Ye Xiao whispered to Xia Dongqing.
Yes.
Now they are both at the end of their rope. If they don't get some money, they will really have to live on nothing.
On the spot, Xia Dongqing also summoned up the courage to run up to Officer Zhao cautiously and said in a low voice, "Boss, Brother Ye and I are already penniless, so can I overdraw my salary in advance?"
?"
The next second, Xia Dongqing was greeted by Zhao Li's cold eyes.
"Swish!"
Being stared at by Officer Zhao's cold eyes, Xia Dongqing felt cold sweat break out on her forehead, and she couldn't even stand still.
"Money! I've only been working for less than half a month and you want to overdraw your salary in advance. You are very capable!"
Official Zhao had a dark face and showed a tough attitude, "It's okay to talk about other things, but it's definitely not okay to talk about money."
Hearing this, Xia Dongqing's face froze. She didn't expect that her boss was actually a miser!
But he still had to bite the bullet and said, "Boss, we are really out of money. As the saying goes: Helping emergencies does not help the poor. If your monthly salary is 3,000, just overdraft 2,000 in advance!"
Zhao Li shook his head.
"Otherwise, 1500!"
Xia Dongqing took another step back.
Official Zhao still shook his head.
"1,000 yuan is fine!"
Xia Dongqing gave in again, and 1,000 yuan was enough to solve their immediate needs.
"Holly, are you obsessed with money? You want money so much, right? OK, I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"
Zhao Li said angrily, turned around and left, going to his black jeep to get money.
Such a scene makes Xia Dongqing feel very sad.
He has an eye for money!
He just doesn’t want to eat dirt! He doesn’t want to drink the northwest wind!
In a blink of an eye.
Official Zhao is here, carrying an exquisite white portable cash box in his left hand.
"Boss, I just want a little salary, so there's no need to go into such a big fight!"
Xia Dongqing said with an unnatural expression.
Ye Xiao's expression was startled, he seemed to understand something.
The portable banknote box contains indeed banknotes, but they are not human banknotes!
"Clang!"
Official Zhao opened the portable cash box without saying anything.
All at once.
Stacks of banknotes came into the sight of Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing.
These banknotes are all stacks of Ming coins, and each Ming coin is printed with the words Tiandi Bank, 10 billion, etc.
"Holly, I want money, right? I'll give it to you, all of it!"
Zhao Li said with a serious expression.
After a while, Xia Dongqing said angrily, "Boss, this money can't be used in the world."
"I don't care about this. If you want money, I will give it to you. There's nothing wrong with that!"
Zhao Li shrugged and said.
Xia Dongqing twitched the corner of her mouth several times, but she didn't expect that Zhao Li would act like a rogue.
I talked a lot about this and said a lot of complaints.
Official Zhao was finally willing to pay.
However, he is only willing to give out three hundred yuan!
He is really an iron rooster who never pulls out his hair!
Xia Dongqing complained repeatedly in her heart, but she could still get through the three hundred yuan by eating instant noodles. After all, she would be paid in less than half a month.
Regarding the matter of salary, Xia Dongqing and Ye Xiao stopped talking about it, and instead talked about the ghosts wearing hemp and mourning, as well as the spiritual status, Mingzhao!
When mentioning this matter, Zhao Li stopped his playful smile and replaced it with an unprecedented solemn look.
"This thing gives me a headache! Because I have also tracked down those ghosts. After one wave was destroyed, another wave appeared. If I, the soul ferryman, hadn't worked so hard to deal with those ghosts, I'm afraid, the ghosts under my jurisdiction would
There will be more and more people missing in this area."
After saying that, Li Zhao looked like he was sighing.
"Boss, have you found any useful clues?"
Ye Xiao asked, he was very concerned about this matter.
Xia Dongqing pricked up her ears and waited quietly.
"Clues? Of course there are. I even identified a real culprit behind the scenes."
Official Zhao said.
"Who is the real culprit behind the scenes?"
Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing asked in unison.
"The dragon gave birth to nine sons. Among them, the fifth son, Taotie, was fierce and greedy. Most of the missing people were eaten by him. But I am confused about one thing. Taotie used to eat people, but later because the human body is full of toxins, he
Eat souls. Therefore, those people should not have disappeared."
"This also gave me a bolder guess: Taotie may cooperate with Li Gui. Li Gui eats people, and Taotie eats people's souls."
Official Zhao spoke eloquently and did not hide anything.
Accompany the words that come out of his mouth.
Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing looked at each other with wonderful expressions.
Especially Xia Dongqing's heart was filled with turmoil.
There are nine sons born from the dragon, each with their own differences.
The fifth son is Taotie.
Eat people, eat souls.
Wait.
These are all fictitious things.
But now it seems.
These things seem real.
"Gulu!"
Xia Dongqing swallowed a heavy mouthful of saliva.
"Boss, there really is Taotie, have you seen it?"
He couldn't help but ask.
Ye Xiao rolled his eyes several times. Logically speaking, this Taotie, the fifth son of the Dragon, also known as the Fifth Young Master, should not appear now!
But why has the Fifth Young Master started eating souls?
And who is the evil ghost who cooperates with the Fifth Young Master?
Doubtful questions swirled in Ye Xiao's mind, making him eager to know the truth, and he also realized that the crisis was gradually approaching.
"I've seen it before, of course I've seen it before. This Taotie is known as the Fifth Young Master. When I see him, I have to be respectful. After all, I'm just a ghost, and he is the son of a dragon!"<
/p>
Official Zhao nodded, with a hint of fear in his eyes.
Xia Dongqing was stunned on the spot and couldn't recover for a long time.
After a long time, Ye Xiaocai said, "Boss, our store employee Zhang Hao was targeted by those ghosts, so..."
"It's too late, he's afraid he has disappeared."
Zhao Li rubbed his eyebrows and felt a headache. He had not mentioned this group of ghosts wearing sackcloth and filial piety to Hades yet, as well as the matter of their spiritual positions being illuminated.
I thought he could solve it, but who knew, this matter became worse and worse.
I'm afraid, if he really told Pluto, he would be greeted by Pluto's wrath!
Thinking about it, Li Zhao couldn't help but shudder.
While the three of them were talking, they suddenly noticed that there was an additional figure beside them.
This man is short in stature, has ordinary facial features, single eyelids, and small eyes. It would not be too much to say that he is ugly.
He is also wearing a black suit, which at first glance looks a bit funny.
Seeing the visitor's appearance, Zhao Li's pupils tightened and he couldn't help blurting out, "Fifth Young Master!"
Xia Dongqing was shocked.
Is this man the Fifth Young Master?
Ye Xiao was also surprised.
The Fifth Young Master appears here, is it a little too early?
"Li Zhao, biting your tongue behind your back is not good. Don't you want your tongue?"
The fifth young master in a black suit said with a smile.
In the eyes of Zhao Li, the Fifth Young Master is a smiling tiger.
