Seeing Bi Peter shaking his head, the next moment, He Fei said to him with a serious face: "Although we are indeed tourists and came to Hong Kong to travel, we also have another identity, as a group of exorcists from the mainland!
"
"Exorcist?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Peter was stunned, along with the executioners around him.
Ignoring the reactions of others, He Fei nodded. He Fei kept talking and explained with a more serious expression and tone: "The so-called 'exorcist' can be easily explained from the literal meaning. It is similar to a Taoist priest. The only difference may be
It’s just that we don’t wear Taoist robes and don’t worship the Three Pure Ones, but one thing is the same, that is, we all know how to ward off evil spirits.”
"Mr. Peter, from the conversation just now, I found that you firmly believe in the theory of the wolf god, and since you believe that there are hawks in the world, it is natural for us to have exorcists who oppose the hawks. Indeed, we came to Hong Kong this time
I was originally here for a trip, but I just happened to come to your wine shop
In fact, from the first time we entered the hotel in Tsim Sha Tsui, we noticed that your hotel was quite sinister. Later, we learned the whole story of the incident from the receptionist A Bin, and learned about the hotel's trouble. So, after discussion, we finally decided
The hotel will help you deal with the monsters."
He Fei spoke in a very solemn tone from beginning to end, but precisely because the young man's tone was too solemn and serious, Bi Peter's expression was dull and his face kept changing until He Fei finished explaining.
, until the atmosphere gradually became heavy, he suddenly came back to his senses, and after swallowing, Bi Peter raised his head as if he had thought of something and asked in a doubtful tone: "Exorcists? If you are really exorcists, will you help me drive away the locusts for nothing?"
(There is drama!)
After listening to the inquiry, and the man's face turned pale, He Fei was determined after seeing this. It was obvious that, leaving aside other things for the time being, he could tell from the man's reaction that the other party was vaguely convinced even if he did not fully believe it at the moment.
It’s seven or eight points, which is actually quite understandable. Since Peter Bieder originally believed that there are locusts in the world, it is natural for such a person to have an exorcist who opposes the locusts.
So, after confirming that his remarks were accepted by the other party, He Fei replied solemnly: "First of all, the responsibility of an exorcist is to expel the monsters in the world and restore peace to the world. This is the mission of the exorcist. As for the fees, we have never forced it.
We don’t mind if you don’t pay afterward, of course, after all, exorcists also need to eat, so we’d still be grateful if you could pay some money.”
As mentioned above, He Fei is very good at understanding human psychology. If you don't ask for money at all, the other party may think you have other intentions. But once you ask for money, the other party will feel more at ease. If you say so, it is indeed the case.
Sure enough, after hearing the young man's answer, Bi Peter, who had been dubious just now, finally believed it this time, and his subconscious also believed that these people were
Maybe people really have the ability to ward off evil spirits. The reason is very simple. After all, the other party is from the mainland. Unexpectedly, after learning that there was a locust in the hotel that specializes in killing mainlanders, he still didn't leave or escape. Unless this group of people
They are all lunatics, otherwise the Eighteen and Nine would be just as the other party said, they are exorcists, a group of psychics who know how to exorcise evil spirits and ward off evil spirits!
Of course, the reason why Bi Peter quickly believed that although the above accounted for a certain proportion, strictly speaking, what really played a key role was the last paragraph of He Fei:
"Mr. Peter, now you and I both know that there is a locust hiding in the hotel, and the locust specializes in killing mainlanders. But you are very capable of dealing with it and have formulated a rule prohibiting mainlanders from staying. But... even if the hotel doesn't
Allowing mainlanders to stay can prevent the accident from happening again, but it still cannot avoid losses for you. Doesn't the hotel intend to make money from mainlanders in this life? If this is the case, the losses will be huge."
For a businessman who is addicted to money, what is the most fatal blow? There is no doubt that cutting off his financial path is the most fatal, and reducing his income is the most fatal.
As expected, after hearing this, the man in the suit twitched his mouth slightly and touched his chin. He Fei continued: "What's more, paper can't cover up the fire. What will happen to your business if word spreads about the trouble in the hotel?"
What to do? Can the hotel continue to open? What will happen if a few more people die?"
"If you still don't believe us, then we'll leave the hotel right now."
After saying this, He Fei really stood up and wanted to leave.
"No! No! Mr. He, please wait! Wait!"
Sure enough, when he saw the young man standing up to leave, Bi Peter was shocked. He quickly reached out to stop He Fei, and then said to the young man and all the executors in an unprecedented respectful tone: "Mr. He, and everyone, I believe it, I believe it! I
I believe that you are exorcists, otherwise you would not be so calm even though you knew there was a locust in the hotel, so I will leave this locust in the hotel to you! I will thank you greatly afterwards!"
(Damn it! This is such a scam, this scam is really...)
No one expected that things would turn out like this, and no one expected that the ending would be so smooth. At this moment, listening to the man's plea, he saw Bi Peter looking at He Fei as if he were a savior. Except for Peng, who had been prepared in his heart.
Except for Hu, Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping, the others
Executive Yu was all secretly shocked. He never expected that in addition to his excellent intelligence, their captain was actually a liar with great eloquence! Not only did he tell lies with open eyes, but he also spoke serious nonsense.
Let the other party believe it is true!
While being surprised, a young Taoist priest couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
(Tsk tsk, you really can’t underestimate any senior person. Let’s not talk about Peng Hu who fights fiercely, Cheng Ying who is cold and cruel, Zhao Ping who is ruthless and very good at lying. Even this seemingly ordinary person
The captain has two tricks, and his ability to deceive is so powerful... Tsk, it's amazing, not all of them are easy.)
Back to the topic, in the guest room, at this moment, after confirming that Bi Peter had completely believed the identity of the exorcist that he had made up, He Fei nodded. The real reason why he fabricated the identity of the exorcist for himself was not difficult.
Understand, through previous analysis, He Fei believes that the hotel owner named Bi Peter is very likely to be one of the key figures in solving the supernatural incident on Yin Yang Road. Since he is a key figure, the executor is
You must gain the trust of the other party, otherwise the subsequent topic cannot be developed, and it will be even more difficult to obtain clues. Only by making the other party believe in yourself can you provide beneficial help in obtaining the next clues. In general, He Fei's ultimate goal is very simple, then
It is to solve the supernatural incident as quickly as possible! Even if the task time limit is as long as 10 days, He Fei is still unwilling to delay it too long because of the long-standing sense of crisis.
(Very good, the first step of the plan has been successfully completed, and Peter Bi has been basically trusted, so next...)
Thinking of this, he ignored the surprised looks of others and the strange atmosphere around him. He Fei coughed twice, and then said to Bi Peter who was pleading across the way: "Mr. Peter, if you really want us to help you solve this matter,
Then I hope you can tell us the details about that grandma."
Huh? Grandma?
Bi Peter was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then he patted his head and asked loudly: "That grandma? Do you mean..."
He Fei replied solemnly: "Yes, it's Qi Longlan!"
………
Seeing He Fei mentioning the murdered grandmother, Bi Peter fell into silence. Seeing him like this, most of the executioners present had some guesses, guessing that there must be a hidden secret, especially He Fei, who further speculated that there might be twists and turns in the matter.
It's not as simple as the first receptionist A Bin said.
The atmosphere in the room is depressing, and time passes slowly.
In silence, He Fei reached into his pocket, took out the cigarette and handed it over.
"Phew, what a smoke!"
There was silence for a long time, until he lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, and instinctively praised him. Then, Bi Peter reacted, exhaling a puff of smoke as if he had made some kind of determination, while scanning the people around him with his eyes, and finally locked his eyes again.
Yu Luo said to He Fei: "I think Abin has told you about this before. The grandmother named Qi Longlan did die in a Tsim Sha Tsui hotel a year ago, and I don't know her personally, and I haven't even known her since.
Never met, but..."
After saying this, after a pause, the man changed the topic and continued: "The above information is half true and half false, and it is a lie told in front of the police and even others. Yes, I concealed some things, but the real situation is
...I personally know grandma, and I have known her for a long time."
Um?
As soon as Bi Peter said this, He Fei was stunned, and everyone present was stunned, but no one interrupted to ask, because everyone knew that the other party must have something more to say.
As for Bi Peter, after finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment, as if he was hesitating about something in his heart. Of course, hesitation is hesitation. Since the words have begun, the following things naturally have to be said, so in the following time, this person
The protagonist of the original movie told everyone about an incident, a past incident, and the past between him and Grandma Qi Longlan.
"My grandma and I met four years ago. To be honest, our acquaintance was very dramatic. Although I don't know whether there is a fixed number for such a thing as luck, I have a deep understanding of how unlucky people will be once they are unlucky.
To a certain extent, I remember that I was almost unlucky for the whole year four years ago. I couldn’t even describe it as bad luck.
However, everything I did was not going well and I failed at everything. I lost money betting on horses, lost all my money playing cards, and even peeed on my hands. Finally, the hundreds of thousands of stocks I bought fell sharply, causing me to
I was on the verge of bankruptcy, so I drank all day long during that period. I was so drunk every day that I was almost decadent."
"In order to cheer me up, one of my good buddies, Chen Zai, suggested that we go on a trip together to relax. I agreed. A few days later, Chen Zai, me, his girlfriend Xiao Zhu, and two other buddies traveled together for a total of 5
People take a boat to Zhongdao, which is an uninhabited desert island. Logically speaking, this is very simple, it is nothing more than a small island tour. However, it makes people feel
What I never imagined was that... when a group of people set foot on that desert island, several unexplainable horrific and supernatural events happened one after another. Chen Zai died, his girlfriend died, and the other two buddies also died.
They all died, inexplicably and strangely. In the end, I was the only one left alive to escape from the desert island. Even so, I was seriously injured."
Listening to Bi Peter's narration, He Feibeng and the senior people on both sides looked at each other a few times. As expected, everyone saw surprise and shock in each other's eyes. The reason? The reason is very simple.
because……
It's a bit familiar, or from Peter's narration just now, the desert island incident he mentioned is very similar to a story in the Yin Yang Road original movie!
As for Peter Bi, the man's narrative continues.
"Due to physical injuries, when I escaped from the desert island by boat and returned to land, my head became dizzy because of the aggravated injuries. Logically speaking, I should have rushed to the hospital at that time, but unfortunately I couldn't. The reason was that the landing location was still there.
For the wilderness, four
There were no cars or people around, and there was only a weedy wasteland as far as the eye could see. There were also a few deserted tombstones scattered in the wasteland. In desperation, I lost my phone and had no choice but to grit my teeth and walk towards the city. Then,
After walking a few steps, I found someone,
While walking, I noticed an old woman burning paper squatting in front of one of the tombs. She was an old woman with gray hair and simple clothes. The old woman always had her back to me, squatting in front of the tomb and burning paper silently. Seeing this, I left out of curiosity.
In the past, unexpectedly, I was kicked
I tripped over the next stone. As I said before, I was already a little dizzy at the time, so I lost consciousness after falling to the ground and fainted completely. At the last moment of my fainting moment, I accidentally saw the tombstone and the tombstone next to it.
A photo of a deceased person.”
“I don’t know how long it took, but when I woke up, I found myself lying on a bed in a dark tile-roofed room. There was an empty bowl on the bedside table, and the whole room also exuded a strong smell of herbal medicine.
It's undeniable that I was a little confused at that time, but I still knew that it was the owner of the house who saved me.
After a while, as footsteps came closer and closer, a person walked into the outer room. It wasn't until the person came completely to the bed that I discovered that the person was the old woman who burned paper. Although I only saw the person's back at first and not the other person's back.
Face, but through the dress and back, I am still sure that the person coming is the grandma, but..."
"It was precisely because I determined the other party's identity that when I saw grandma's face clearly for the first time, I was almost frightened to death."
"The photo of the tombstone I saw when I fainted was the portrait of the deceased...it was exactly the same as the grandma in front of me!"
"After some exchanges, I suddenly realized that I had made a big mistake. It turned out that this grandma was not the other grandma. The grandma and the deceased on the tombstone were not the same person. The grandma's name was Qi Longlan, and the person in the photo on the tombstone was her twin sister.
Qi Longxin, when I burned paper in front of the grave, it was for my sister."
"Let's get back to the topic. Even though I was embarrassed, I didn't forget to thank my grandma immediately for rescuing me. However, before I could speak, my grandma, who had been observing me during this period, said it before me.
In one sentence, just say something that makes my skin crawl."
"Young man, you are not far from death."
"Grandma actually said that I was not far away from death? With fear, confusion, and surprise, I hurriedly asked again and again. It is undeniable that grandma was unwilling to answer at first, but after I almost collapsed and cried out again and again,
Sighing, perhaps feeling pity, grandma finally explained everything, saying that she knew from the first moment she saw me that I was trapped by a debt collector.
Judging from my long-green complexion, it must have been pestering me for a long time. The debt collector does not have the ability to directly kill people, but it can gradually weaken the luck of a living person over time, leading to bad luck after being pestered.
Shun, until I have nothing, until my family is ruined, and when I am completely ruined, my family is ruined, and I have nothing, that is when my luck will disappear and I will die miserably."
"I admit that although this grandma named Qi Longlan looks gloomy and taciturn, she is actually a good person and a kind-hearted grandma. Qi Longlan has never been married in her life and has been living near this deserted suburb for so many years. I am
My grandma’s family nursed my injury for a week. In the end, not only was the injury healed, but before I left, my grandma also made a very strange scene for me.
It is really strange to say that I have performed a strange exorcism ritual. Since the ritual was completed, my luck has not declined as before. Although I cannot say that I am lucky, at least everything I lost in the past has come back. I am no longer unlucky.
, no need to recite it, everything returned to normal, I got rid of bad luck, completely got rid of bad luck, I was extremely happy during that time."
"Later on, I became friends with my grandma. I would drive to my grandma's house whenever I had free time. However, she never asked for a penny from me or any gifts. I even hoped that she could move to the city.
I declined all the invitations. In short, my grandma’s temperament was a bit weird. Until one day last year, I received a phone call from my grandma.”
“On the phone, my grandma said that she had something to do in the city and asked me if I could help her find a place to live. As you can imagine, when I saw that grandma had something to do, I immediately drove her to my home without saying a word.
The Tsim Sha Tsui hotel he runs immediately arranged a comfortable room for grandma to stay in, and nothing happened during the period.
Well, the only thing that puzzled me was something grandma carried with her, a square bundle wrapped in linen. Of course, because I knew grandma’s temper well, I suppressed my curiosity and didn’t ask, even though I was concerned.
Who would have thought...that this meeting would actually become the last meeting between me and my grandma!"
Having said this, Bi Peter paused for a moment, and then his mood became depressed. His face showed sadness, and he sighed and continued: "I never expected that grandma would be killed on the third day after she checked into the hotel.
, was killed in the room. According to police investigation, grandma was murdered by a mainlander for money. After the robber killed her, he fled to the mainland and has not been heard from since."
"After I finished my grandma's funeral, it was quiet for a while. Then, not long after, people started to die frequently in my hotel, and mainland guests committed suicide frequently. As for what happened next, you all know."
"I regret it, I really regret it. I really shouldn't have brought my grandma to my hotel, otherwise she wouldn't have... ugh!"
The above is the whole story, the regret and self-blame of the man in front of him for concealing the past. After the narration, Peter Bi took a deep breath, as if telling the secret that he had concealed for many years made him feel relieved.
As for He Fei, as for all the executors present...
After listening to Peter's past experiences, everyone in the room showed an expression of incredible surprise.
Ignoring others, at least He Fei immediately understood it after listening to the other party's narration. He instantly obtained four pieces of information from Bi Peter's narration, four pieces of extremely valuable and important information!
First, he did not expect that the grandmother named Qi Longlan was actually a goddess during her lifetime! The so-called goddess refers to someone who knows how to exorcise evil spirits and avoid worms. Although his specific ability is not known, at least he has learned about her skills.
Extraordinary, she is a goddess who can channel spirits and ask questions about rice. This is also the main reason why everyone showed shocked expressions after listening to Peter's narration.
The second, and most important, point is that just as Peter described it, He Fei learned that although his grandmother felt gloomy, she was actually kind. Even so, problems also arise.
The Goddess of Rice Art is a kind-hearted person, but why did her temperament change drastically after her death and she started killing people? To say the least, even if her soul stayed in the hotel and killed mainlanders for revenge, strictly speaking, it still does not meet the requirements.
Grandma's nature, according to folk supernatural legends, although it is undeniable that the soul of a person who died in vain has a high chance of turning into a Li Qi who only knows how to kill, has no emotions and no consciousness, but this is only for ordinary people.
!What if the deceased was a person who had psychic abilities during his lifetime? In most cases, even if such a person dies in vain, his soul will most likely retain consciousness after death, and this is what He Fei is currently doing.
What I don’t understand the most!
Yes, grandma was kind and not greedy for wealth during her lifetime. She was even willing to try her best to save a stranger. It is conceivable that a kind and psychic person like this would turn into a wolf to seek revenge after death.
You must only seek revenge on the murderer and not kill innocent people indiscriminately.
This is true, but what about the facts?
The reality was unexpected and even completely opposite.
After my grandma died, she not only turned into a locust, she also transformed into a ferocious and terrifying Li locust!
Li Qi started killing people and killing innocent people indiscriminately. He quickly killed all the mainland guests staying in the hotel.
The third point...
Qi Longxin, Grandma's sister who has been dead for many years, is a twin of Grandma and looks very similar to her.
As for the last point, it comes from the baggage mentioned at the end of Peter's narrative, a square package wrapped in linen.
After thinking over and over and analyzing one by one, He Fei still couldn't fully explain why his grandmother killed innocent people after his death. However, when he analyzed his grandmother's deceased sister and the package together, he somehow came up with an idea and a guess.
, an astonishing guess that made He Fei's hair stand on end suddenly appeared in his mind.
The guess is...
This cruel Li Qi who hides in a hotel and keeps killing innocent people indiscriminately may...not be Qi Longlan!!!
