"Sir, I want to know what this place is all about."
Li Kui sat down with his golden sword, and Yang Chao stood beside him and looked at the old ghost.
"Hey, look, this is your first time in this ghost market..."
The old ghost smiled evilly in his heart, pinched it gently with two fingers, and said with a smile: "I need to see some real people before I can get real news."
A ghost coin stained with yin virtue slid onto the table, and the wrist wearing the soul lock chain also hit the old ghost's eyeball. He couldn't help but shrink slightly, and he hurriedly said with a bit of respect:
"It turns out it's Mr. Ghost, haha... The old ghost knows everything he knows, and he can't tell you anything."
"Sir, you do have some sharp eyesight."
Li Kui was quite surprised. He really didn't reveal his identity as a ghost on purpose. He immediately took out a cigarette from the cigarette case and handed it to the old ghost. With a flick of his wrist, he also took one in his mouth.
"Well...thank you, sir."
The old ghost picked up the cigarette and sniffed it. It was indeed a good smoke, and he felt quite fond of Li Kui.
click,
The smoke filled the air, and the sharp-edged face was looming.
"Old sir, tell me."
"This place is called Hexinzhuang. It has a history of two hundred years. Many ghosts or powerful characters will stay here and open small shops and stalls to earn money for boarding."
The old ghost couldn't help but laugh twice, and a puff of smoke escaped from the gap between his black and yellow teeth.
"Of course... the most important thing is to avoid being hunted by ghosts."
"It seems that there is a very powerful person in charge." Li Kui replied with a smile.
The old ghost dared to say this in front of him, not with any malice or provocation, but to tell him that there is a reason why this ghost city has been safe and sound for two hundred years, and those who are weak must act according to the rules here.
.
"That is, the strength is quite strong..."
The old ghost nodded slightly, satisfied with Li Kui's reaction.
"Do you know the origin of that bus outside?" Li Kui flicked off the cigarette ashes and asked softly.
"I know a little, but I can't say..."
The old ghost smiled and replied frankly.
"Then let me guess, you nod or shake your head."
"OK."
"Things from the underworld?"
nod.
"Very important?"
Nodding and shaking his head.
It seems to be just so-so.
"Okay, thank you for your hard work, old sir." Li Kui stood up and said, while holding down the Ming Coin and sending it upward, "This is the fee."
The old ghost didn't refuse, he accepted it with a smile, and even sent a message to Li Kui:
"Sir... no one, let alone ghost, dares to cause trouble in Hexinzhuang. Keep the noise low to prevent it."
Li Kui curled up his lips and cupped his fists to thank the old ghost.
The two people left the stall in the corner and blended into the dense flow of people.
…………
"Sir, your delicious food is here."
"good!"
A large bowl of "moving" delicious food was placed in front of the table.
The graceful back stretched out her jade hands, picked up a bunch of worms, earthworms and various unknown red, green and green insects with chopsticks and sent them to the red lips.
"..."
Yang Chao, who was passing by, heard the sound and happened to turn his head to see this scene. His cheeks suddenly bulged, and he suppressed the turmoil in his stomach. He quickly turned away and stopped looking, complaining:
"I want to know why, after turning into a ghost, even my eating habits have changed so much. Don't beer, seafood, and fried chicken taste good..."
"Good question, I want to know too."
Li Kui smiled.
"How much do you think you can trust what that old ghost said?"
"Five points!"
Yang Chao spread out his fingers and shook his head, "If you can believe it for five points, it's incredible."
"The bus was parked on the side of the road, at least two hundred meters away from Hexinzhuang. When we came here, we didn't see anyone. As soon as you ask, he will know what you are talking about. This is not an ordinary old ghost.
!”
"But...his last sentence can barely be trusted!"
"Lots of nonsense!"
Li Kui's precise positioning.
"Hey, that's a good word to use!"
Yang Chao's eyes lit up, and his face suddenly turned ugly again. He felt like he had been shot by these words.
Li Kui quickly put aside the topic and asked: "What should I say, Lao Yang, do you have any other ideas?"
"I have some ideas."
"You told me that the tasks given to you below will usually give you clear goals." Yang Chao smiled and said methodically: "Only this time it is vague, I think..."
He paused for a moment and glanced at Li Kui's calm face. He couldn't help feeling that this guy was really calm. He shrugged and said, "Its purpose should be to let you spy on the military situation. Let's find out first."
"To the bottom?"
Li Kui frowned slightly, his mind was spinning, and he nodded clearly.
Since that bus can go to the underworld and pick up the ghosts of the dead, it is indeed an excellent tool for the huge workload of the underworld.
Yang Chao put his hands behind his back and said something thought-provoking: "The next step will depend on how big your heart is."
"Well... since we are trying to find the bottom, it seems that we haven't done enough yet!" Li Kui naturally understood the meaning of Yang Chao's words, and smiled a little coldly: "It just so happens that we haven't made up for the votes yet."
"Wow, I'm actually curious, Li Kui, have you always been so brave?"
Yang Chao made an exaggerated expression on his face. In the past few days, apart from the secrets that were not easy to reveal, both parties had gotten to know each other a little bit. He also knew that Li Kui had not been doing the ghost job for a particularly long time. A few months could make the difference.
Has your personality changed so much?
Hearing these words, Li Kui stopped and thought about this issue seriously.
"If one day you are forced to accept an extremely absurd start, and then a female ghost appears in front of you, sucking a person alive into a mummy, and sucking you into a mummy, and being chased by zombies...
"I think after going through these things, you will become so brave!"
Because there are some things that no one can control.
When Li Kui faced death for the first time, he understood this truth. The enemy will not let you go just because of your fear and fear. Fear and fear have never disappeared, but they are covered by greater power.
Faith, determination!
Just like Li Kui did not give up Lao Cui's gift in the end, because he found something valuable here that was worth paying for.
A person's life should always be devoted to dreams, beliefs, and someone. He also hopes that when he dies one day, looking back on the past, he can write three words like Lao Cui -
No regrets.
Yang Chao opened his mouth, patted Li Kui's shoulder, and said nothing more.
In just a few words, one can already imagine the fear and struggle during the experience.
"Let's go, it's time for us to get back to the car, otherwise we'll be in trouble if we drive away."
Yang Chao took a few steps forward and found that Li Kui had not followed him. He turned around and saw that the latter's eyes were on the right side. He shifted his gaze and saw five passengers pushing a man and a woman out of the noodle stall.
Go straight outside.
The two looked at each other and followed quietly.
