After getting out of the subway, we crossed a street and came to a relatively remote corner.
Lao Mao and Da Huang threw Xie Huaiyu, who was tied with a red rope, to the ground. Xie Huaiyu fell down and screamed.
I walked forward, stared at Lao Xie, and said, "Is it considered safe here now?"
Lao Xie stretched his head and looked around again, and said with a smile: "Forget it, forget it, it's relatively safe here."
I no longer have any good impression of him. After all, this guy just wanted to kill me. I kicked him and said, "Then let go of your nonsense. If what you say is of no use, I will kill you immediately."
.”
Lao Xie chuckled and said, "Lin Yang, you are stupid. I am already dead. If you mess with me, I will still be a kid."
Before I could say anything, Dahuang came up and said, "Then I'll send you to reincarnation. You're a ghost anyway, and you'll be wiped out in ashes at the worst, right?"
Lao Xie glanced at Dahuang warily and then at Lao Mao. He seemed to be quite afraid of both of them.
After a moment of silence, Lao Xie finally put on a serious expression and said: "Hey, Lin Yang, I don't know where you found these two helpers. You really have a lot of trouble. Well, we are classmates after all."
I won’t tell you any more, so I’ll tell you everything.”
I nodded and waited quietly for him to tell the whole story.
Lao Xie sighed and said: "Lin Yang, you must think that I am very dishonest. I turned into a ghost, but I didn't tell you anything, and even lied to you to meet me again and again. Maybe you won't believe me, but actually
At least half...a third of the night shift workers in the subway are not even human beings."
When I heard this, I was shocked. I definitely don't want to believe this kind of thing. There are so many subway workers in the city, there are thousands if not ten thousand, and this guy actually said that one-third of them are not human.
Isn't that sensational?
I shivered and asked, "You said they are not human beings? Then what are they? Are they ghosts like you?"
I actually asked this just as an instinctive reaction. I didn't think of it like this at all. But what I didn't expect was that Lao Xie actually nodded and confirmed my judgment.
Just listen to him say: "You really said it, a large part of these staff are ghosts, and I am one of them, so I know it very well."
Not only me, but also Lao Mao and Da Huang didn’t believe it at this time. They are two professional underworld travelers. They have always walked in the netherworld and come into contact with all kinds of ghosts. But even so, when they heard about the subway
They were all shocked when one-third of the staff were ghosts.
I still didn't believe it and thought Lao Xie was lying to me. I frowned and asked, "How is this possible? If these staff are ghosts, how do they find jobs?"
Lao Xie said: "Don't worry, I will tell you how I died first..."
After speaking, Lao Xie paused for a moment and then began to speak:
"Well...actually, the person on duty who saw someone carrying a sedan in the tunnel at Yonghegong subway station some time ago was me, not my childhood friend. It was already past two o'clock in the middle of the night, and when I was patrolling the platform,
Suddenly I heard the sound of suona in the tunnel. I was very brave at that time, so I stretched my neck to look without thinking. I saw two people playing suona playing the suona, and four people behind them were slowly carrying a big white sedan.
Walking..."
Having said this, Lao Xie had a look of horror on his face, and it could be seen that this incident still frightened him even now.
Lao Xie paused and continued: "After I saw it, my first reaction was that I had hit a ghost, because no one would be able to enter the tunnel. I ran quickly, left the subway station, and got back to us.
Home... Then as soon as I got home, I called my boss to resign, because I didn’t want to do this job for another minute, it was too scary..."
I nodded as I listened. What Lao Xie said was right. He got into trouble at work. If I were him, I would definitely resign immediately.
Just listen to Lao Xie continue to say: "But as soon as I hung up the phone after calling the boss, I heard footsteps in the corridor outside our house. The footsteps were very heavy, like a big fat man..."
When he said this, I had already begun to break out in a cold sweat. There were people walking around in the corridor in the middle of the night, which in itself was very scary.
Lao Xie continued: "I was already frightened at the time. I was even more frightened when I heard the footsteps, and then someone knocked on the door. I was so frightened that I sat in my living room and didn't even dare to move.
"
I quickly asked: "What then?"
Lao Xie said: "Then the people outside the door started to hit the door, one after another, very hard. I felt that our door was about to be damaged. I don't know if it was because of water in my brain or something.
I ran over and opened the door... I was stunned as soon as I opened the door. I saw the man who played the suona in the subway tunnel just now standing at the door of my house. He had big gold teeth and held the suona in his hand. There was nothing in his eyes.
The pupils are all white..."
I broke out in a cold sweat when I heard that, so I quickly interrupted him and said, "Don't go into so much detail, just tell me what happened..."
Lao Xie continued: "Well, the suona player walked in directly and told me that since I saw his master, I had to do something for him... Before I could speak, I felt dizzy.
, I can’t remember anything... When I wake up again, guess what I saw?"
After hearing what he said was so terrifying, I couldn't help but wonder, so I could only ask: "What did you see?"
Lao Xie sighed and said: "I saw my own body lying at my feet... It was a strange feeling. It was really unacceptable to me... I was in a daze for a while.
It took me a whole day to realize that I might be dead, and that I am just a ghost now."
I was horrified by what Lao Xie said, and his experience was too terrifying. After I saw someone carrying a sedan in the tunnel for no reason, I was actually killed by a ghost...
I thought for a while and asked: "Lao Xie, that suona-playing ghost told you to ask you to do things for his master. Who is his master?"
When Lao Xie heard this question, he glanced at me, then showed a cautious expression and said: "You will know later, I don't dare to say my master's name."
I didn't expect Lao Xie to be so timid. This was very different from his carefree personality in junior high school. I couldn't ask further questions, so I had to ask something else: "Then what? Why did you go back to work on the subway?"
Lao Xie gave a bitter smile and said: "It's strange to say that on the seventh day after my death, it was the night of the night when I returned to my soul. I suddenly received a call from my old boss. I didn't know at the time that I had turned into a ghost.
After that, I was still able to answer the phone. The boss seemed to know that I was no longer a human being. He spoke in a very calm tone and told me that he would go to the subway to work the night shift tomorrow. He also said that this was the master's wish..."
"Master again? How much magical power does this master have? He can actually command people in the underworld?" The more I listened, the more strange it became, because letting a dead man work in the subway was something I would never have imagined.
Lao Xie gave a bitter smile and said: "To tell you the truth, this city is far from as simple as you know. This city is not only managed by these people on the surface, but there is actually another group of people working together underground.
Manage this city... The man in the sedan I accidentally saw in the subway tunnel, my master, is actually one of the underground managers..."
At this point, Lao Mao clicked his tongue, obviously feeling that he had gotten the information he wanted. He and Da Huang came here this time to investigate the people in the subway tunnel, and Lao Xie obviously knew the inside story.
But Lao Mao was very patient. He did not ask further questions, but quietly waited for Lao Xie to continue.
Sure enough, Lao Xie continued: "The person in the sedan, that is, my master, should have informed my boss at the subway, and then my boss relayed it to me and asked me to go to work tomorrow. So far.
, I have never met my boss, but I occasionally heard my colleagues say that my boss is very powerful and you must not mess with him..."
After hearing this, I roughly understood the entire story of Lao Xie's death. The biggest question now is who the master was.
Of course, there is another question, and that is why Lao Xie wanted to harm me.
When I thought about Lao Xie almost pushing me off the platform just now, I became so angry that I kicked him again and said, "Then why did you fucking want to kill me just now? Tell me!"
Lao Xie gave a bitter smile and said: "It's really not that I want to harm you, but you already know my secret and know that I am no longer a human being. In order to keep it secret for you, I can only turn you into my kind...
You have also seen that after death, it is not much different from living, except that you can't see the sun, you can't be with your family... you can't..."
I interrupted him and cursed: "Damn it, it's not that much different from living? It's just completely different, okay?"
Lao Xie said quickly: "Okay, okay... Even if you are right, you are not dead. If I really wanted to kill you, I should have used all my strength when I pushed you on the platform. Now I
You should know how strong he is, right?"
I nodded. Lao Xie was right. He was indeed very powerful when he subdued me in the middle of the platform. If he had used all his strength to push me, I would have fallen off the platform. Why did he suddenly change?
He has to work so hard? Could it be because he has become a ghost now?
Moreover, who is this guy’s master? Does all this have anything to do with his master?
At this moment, Lao Xie suddenly said with a sinister sneer: "Haha... Lin Yang, you might be able to find out if you think about it for yourself. In fact, even if I don't kill you, you won't survive for a few days..."
