As soon as I heard this, I immediately turned around and asked Lao Xie: "Lao Xie, what do you mean by this? What do you mean, I can't live for two days anyway?"
Lao Xie pointed at my back and said, "Did you see that bloody handprint behind you? It looks like it was targeted by an evil spirit on the subway. It's so vicious that it can't be cured."
As soon as I heard this, I became anxious. I quickly pointed at Lao Mao and Da Huang and said, "Don't I still have these two master friends? Xu Mengyun, you know, she was haunted by a kid and she also had two bloody fingerprints on her body.
, but aren’t you still living well now?”
Unexpectedly, Lao Xie gave a bitter smile, shook his head and said: "Comrade Lin Yang, don't be so optimistic. I have seen the ghost fingerprints on Xu Mengyun's back. It was just a kid. Although he was very vicious, he was nothing like it. You
The fingerprints on his back are unusual, they are probably from a hundred years old ghost."
When I heard this, I felt a chill in my forehead. I quickly asked Old Cat: "Old Cat, is what this guy Lao Xie said true or false? Is this ghost behind me really powerful?"
The old cat nodded and said: "It's quite powerful. Maybe I and Dahuang can't control it, but I can give it a try."
After hearing this, my heart skipped a beat, and I quickly said: "Since this ghost is so powerful, why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought that subduing this ghost would be the same as subduing Meng Erbai! What should I do now?"
"
Dahuang quickly comforted me: "Don't panic, there is a solution to everything. With my master here, there shouldn't be any big problems. After all, we have traveled around for many years, and we are fairly knowledgeable."
After listening to Dahuang's words, I managed to stabilize my mood.
But Lao Xie was still making sarcastic remarks: "You can't underestimate the enemy. Let me tell you, there are endless demons and ghosts under the ground in these four-nine cities. If you are not careful, you will be doomed. Also, you know that the ones you just destroyed
Who is that ghost doll? Let me tell you, you are in big trouble!"
I was so angry that I kicked Lao Xie's feet again and cursed: "You damn thing, you only know how to make sarcastic remarks, but you should tell me, who is the ghost doll we killed just now? What's its origin?"
Lao Xie said: "Her name is Meng Erbai, she is a child, she is just a ghost doll, nothing powerful, but her surname is Bai."
I still didn’t understand, so I asked, “What’s wrong with the surname Bai?”
Lao Xie chuckled: "The ghosts under the Forty-Nine City are all divided into hierarchies. There are four families among them. They have been the masters of this generation since thousands of years ago, and the Bai family is one of them."
After Lao Xie said that, he looked at me meaningfully, and I immediately understood what he meant.
He also said before that this city is far from as simple as I thought. In fact, what we usually see are just people living on the ground of this city, but there is actually a world underground under this city, and this
The world also has a group of managers.
The four major families that Lao Xie mentioned are obviously the managers of this underground world. The mysterious "master" he mentioned is one of them. I am almost certain now that that "master" is the four major families.
a member of.
And the Meng Erbai we just killed is obviously a member of the four major families. Although I don’t know how high the status and power of the Bai family are among the four major families, it is obvious that with the three of us, we want to
Provoking people from the four major families is obviously a bit like hitting an egg with an egg.
With cold sweat on my face, I slowly turned my head to look at the old cat and asked, "Master Cat, what should I do?"
From the time I saw the old cat until now, I have never seen him show a panicked expression. Even now, when I panic, even Dahuang panics, the old cat still has a cold and paralyzed expression on his face, and there is no wave in the ancient well.
He was silent for a while and said: "What can I do? I've made a mess and I have to clean it up myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, Dahuang said with a frustrated look: "It's over. Even Master thinks it's a trick. It seems that this matter is really difficult to handle."
Lao Xie still said in a half-dead cool tone: "I told you a long time ago. You guys are in big trouble. I still don't believe it..."
I wanted to chop him up on the spot, and cursed: "You damn...don't forget, you are in our hands now, can you please stop pulling like this?"
When Lao Xie saw that I was really angry, he immediately gave up and said quickly: "Lin Yang, Lin Yang, don't be like this. We are old classmates and we should stand on a united front. Although I am different from you now,
But our hearts are together."
I was so angry that I cursed again and said: "Who has the same heart as you? You almost killed me just now, but I remember it clearly."
Lao Xie hurriedly said: "What happened just now was my fault, but you can't hold on to it all the time, right? Let's discuss it. You guys are so generous today and spare me. I'll give it to you when I get back down there.
You can be an informant or an undercover agent, what do you think?"
After hearing this, Old Mao's eyes suddenly lit up. He and Dahuang obviously did not expect to cause such a big disaster this time. There were not only ghosts under Sijiu City, but also many ghosts. It was as if they were already
It is an underground kingdom, and there is even one of the four major families as its leader. An enemy of this scale is definitely something that the three of us cannot face.
The best way to deal with an enemy that is impossible to defeat is to plant a traitor.
Xie Huaiyu's overtures just gave us such an opportunity. I think the wily old cat will not give up this opportunity easily.
Sure enough, the old cat took Rhubarb to the side and began to whisper again. I felt a little unhappy in my heart. Obviously I am one of them now, why did he keep whispering without me?
So I also came over, and it happened that the two people were talking about a key issue. I heard the old cat ask Dahuang: "Dahuang, do you think this Xie Huaiyu is reliable?"
Dahuang thought for a while, but before he could speak, I interrupted and said, "He and I were classmates in junior high school. He was quite honest when he was in junior high school, but his recent behavior makes me reluctant to trust him."
Dahuang and the old cat both turned their heads and looked at me. Dahuang asked, "Master and apprentice, we are here to talk quietly. Why are you following me?"
I said: "Hey, haven't I already joined you two? Why do you still want to exclude me?"
Dahuang quickly shook his head and said: "I'm not rejecting you, oops... please forgive me, we have been working together for too long, and suddenly there is an extra one, so I am a little uncomfortable."
I smiled and didn't take it seriously.
The old cat was noncommittal and continued: "After most people become ghosts, their personalities will change to a certain extent. Cunning is the nature of ghosts, just like foxes, so it is acceptable for Xie Huaiyu to become like this now. Lin Yang, do you think we should
Should we cooperate with him?"
I thought for a while, nodded and said: "Otherwise, we should cooperate with him. If what Lao Xie said is true, then the enemy we are facing now is too huge, not to mention the ghosts under Sijiu City.
The ghost on the subway was already very scary...and the ghost handprint on my back. I still don’t know who put it on me. Without Lao Xie’s help, I don’t think we can do it.”
Dahuang nodded and said, "Well, Lin Yang is right."
Seeing that Dahuang and I both agreed to cooperate with Lao Xie, Lao Mao had no objection. He immediately turned back to Xie Huaiyu and said, "Okay, we decided to cooperate with you after discussing it, but you have to know that if you betray me, there will be consequences.
Very serious."
Lao Xie was lying on the ground, with no emotion or anger on his pale face. He just nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, Lin Yang and I have an old relationship. Although I cheated him once, I will definitely not cheat him again."
Second time.”
I nodded and said, "This is best... Lao Xie, tell us, now that we have offended the Bai family, what should we do next to prevent the Bai family from retaliating?"
Lao Xie gave a bitter smile and said: "No matter how you go next, you will not be able to escape the revenge of the Bai family. Let me tell you this, I guess the bloody handprints on your back were probably printed by the Bai family. Because
I’m just afraid that you will do harm to Meng Erbai. Meng Erbai is the apple of the Bai family’s eye, and if you just kill her like this... the Bai family will definitely not let it go.”
The more I heard, the more shocked I became, and I couldn't help but glance at Lao Mao and Da Huang.
The old cat still looked half-dead with a paralyzed face. I don’t know why this guy is still in the mood to act cool at this time.
Dahuang also started to shed a cold sweat, obviously realizing that the problem was serious.
Lao Xie saw that the three of us were a little panicked, and added: "Well, since we are now in a cooperative relationship, I will give you some clear directions. The Bai family seems to have an ancestral house on the outskirts of the city. Behind the ancestral house is
Their ancestral graves, if you are really sincere, go to the ancestral graves and put incense on them to apologize, it might be of some use. Anyway, Meng Erbai just reincarnated, not wiped out in ashes, there is still room for change."
When I heard this, I thought it was a good idea, so I quickly asked Lao Mao and Dahuang what they meant. Lao Mao nodded and said a little reluctantly: "Then let's decide this first. Let's go to Bai's house on the outskirts of the city tomorrow."
Seeing that Lao Xie had almost told us, he glanced at the red rope on his body and said, "Master, since we have reached an agreement, can you untie this damn red rope for me?"
The old cat smiled, stretched out his hand, and took back the red rope from Lao Xie's body.
Lao Xie stood up, moved his arms, and said: "Well, we don't know each other anymore. If you want to find me in the future, just call me directly. There are many informants in the subway, so don't talk nonsense.
…Remember, remember…”
After saying that, Lao Xie said goodbye and left. Looking at Lao Xie's back, I had mixed feelings in my heart. I didn't expect that my old classmate from junior high school would now be a different person from me. What I didn't expect was that I would still follow him.
