Locke said that this job is a big job, difficult and dangerous. But high risks are accompanied by high returns, so the employer is very generous, with a fixed price of 300,000! And the settlement is in US dollars!
High risk is really high risk. Since the release, more than a dozen exorcists have rushed over to make money. But every exorcist goes in at night and disappears the next day.
without a trace.
It is true that no one can be seen alive, no body can be found dead, and not even three souls and seven souls can be found.
Nowadays, few people dare to take on this job, but the client's reward of 300,000 US dollars is still hanging there, and he has refused to withdraw it.
In fact, with my current situation, I am so busy with my own affairs that I still have time to help foreign friends solve their problems. But for professional reasons, I still asked more, what kind of job is that?
Regardless of whether you go to pick it up or not, it is always a good idea to learn more about it.
At this time, Locke's voice became much softer. He whispered: "Canada Doll Town! Have you heard of it?"
I know a lot about strange things in China. Even if I haven't seen them in person, I can read them in the Notes of Suppressing Evil. But I really have no impression of Canada's Doll Town.
According to Locke, Doll Town was most prosperous in the 1960s and 1970s. At that time, there was a large factory in the town, which was owned by the Smith family.
That place is rich in all kinds of dolls, which are sold all over the world.
Later, the Smith family went bankrupt, the factory ceased production, and the town was abandoned. This place became an abandoned town, with only one or two old janitors guarding it with a meager salary.
Decades later, the Smith family made a comeback and negotiated with the government to rebuild Doll Town. But it was only then that everyone discovered that Doll Town had become a well-known ghost town.
Just because that abandoned town becomes brightly lit every night, with people coming and going, and it is very lively. If someone is passing by nearby and is curious, they will go over to take a look at the excitement, but they will never return, and then disappear.
.
Mr. Smith is a very interesting person who knows everything about the world, so he paid an exorcist to go over and see what was going on.
As a result, the exorcist took a helicopter flight and told Mr. Smith that he had found the reason, but he really couldn't do the job.
According to what the exorcist said, when Doll Town was abandoned, there was a batch of inventory in the factory. These inventories were all finished dolls, some were made of wood, some were made of plastic, and some were lifelike wax figures.
.
These dolls stayed in place for decades. As time went by, they were naturally contaminated by Yin energy and became evil.
The evil spirit grew and attracted countless ghosts nearby, so everyone swarmed in. Each ghost took possession of a doll, and then used their bodies to play in the town all day long.
Ordinarily, if they play with themselves, they won't interfere with other people's business.
But the key point is that this group of lonely ghosts are quite arrogant. As they play, they regard the puppet town as their home. So if a living person passes by, this group of puppets will think that the other party has invaded their territory.
Forcibly dismembering people and making new dolls.
It's just that because the Doll Town is located in a remote place, even if someone dies, it won't attract anyone's attention. Anyway, the abandoned town is so evil that even the local police are unwilling to get close.
The local connivance has made the puppets become more and more aggressive, until they have become ferocious ghosts. Now that Mr. Smith thinks about rebuilding the puppet town, how can they agree?
After the exorcist said this, he said that he couldn't get rid of these lonely ghosts. But he could offer a reward. Anyway, there must be a brave man under the big reward, and there might be an expert who is short of money.
, I just picked it up easily and I can’t say for sure.
After hearing what the exorcist said, Mr. Smith immediately offered a reward of three hundred thousand dollars. Such a high price naturally attracted many exorcists.
These exorcists include local exorcists, scientists from the United States, and even ghost hunters and Chinese exorcists who believe in the Holy See.
But no matter who it is, as long as they come, there will definitely be no one alive or dead the next day.
As time went by, the reputation of the Doll Town gradually spread. Now, basically few exorcists dare to take on this job.
After listening to what Locke said, I was secretly amazed. There are indeed many wonders in the world. An abandoned doll factory was actually occupied by lonely ghosts.
It's just a matter of occupying it, but he actually plans to settle down and buy a house and stay here without leaving. This is so good that it provoked Mr. Smith to issue a reward order, and the price he offered was really not low.
I secretly admired it, but Locke said to me enthusiastically: "Brother Zhang, what do you think? Are you interested in doing a job? Three hundred thousand US dollars! You will take the bulk and I will have some leftovers!"
If it were in China, needless to say Locke, it would be my duty to encounter this kind of thing. But the place he was talking about was in Canada after all. The top exorcists in Canada didn't take action, so why should I just join in the fun?
What's more, there's a corpse chasing me behind me. If I can't rush to Sleepy Hollow before he catches up with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to save my life. How can I have the leisure to care about others?
So I shook my head decisively and said, "I won't go!"
I answered so simply that Locke rolled his eyes. After a while, he whispered: "Brother Zhang, are you scared? Let me tell you, there is no need to be scared of this! Really!"
I sat on the chair and closed my eyes, paying no attention to him. You can ask whoever you want about this matter, but I won’t go anyway.
Seeing my firm attitude, Locke wisely kept silent. But after a while, he said helplessly: "Brother Zhang, you and I hit it off right away, and I won't hide some things from you. In fact, we can do this kind of work alone.
In the past, it was probably a dead end. But this time it’s different!”
"Did you know? Mr. Smith has increased the reward amount and invited the old foreigner from Xiaojing Mountain, the ghost mother-in-law from Ottawa, and the sword-wielding disciple from Sleepy Hollow to solve this matter. With them here, we are completely
Fishing in troubled waters, they will bear the risks, but there are advantages for us brothers..."
When he said this, I opened my eyes suddenly and said, "What did you say?"
Locke was stunned for a moment and said: "I said, if there is danger, they will bear it, but if there is an advantage, we two brothers will do it."
I interrupted him: "No, in the previous sentence, who did you say went to Doll Town? The sword-wielding disciples of Sleepy Hollow?"
Locke nodded: "That's right! I heard that Mr. Smith invited the sword bearer himself, but Sleepy Hollow responded that for such a small matter, there was no need for the sword bearer himself to take action. So he came
I have two sword-wielding disciples.”
I didn't say anything, but my mind was racing fast. The sword-wielding disciples from Sleepy Hollow are also here. Can I go over and make friends with him?
I heard that Sleepy Hollow prevents outsiders from entering, especially exorcists who hate China. If I went to Sleepy Hollow rashly, I might have my head chopped off and left to rot in the valley.
But things are different now. Now that the sword-wielding disciples have come out to take care of their lives, if I can save their lives or help them once, wouldn't it be a matter of course for me to enter Sleepy Hollow?
They can't chop off their savior's head, right?
When I thought of this, I said: "Where is the Doll Town?"
Locke was overjoyed and said: "Thirteen kilometers west of East St. John Lake! In the Ottawa area, Mr. Smith has a helicopter specially come to pick up the exorcist!"
I gave Locke a rather interesting look and said, "Okay! Then let's go and have a look!"
Locke was overjoyed and said: "Brother Zhang! You are so righteous! Man! Let me tell you, this time, you will be the main one and I will be the assistant. If we can fish in troubled waters, we can fish in troubled waters. Don't risk your life! If it's beneficial, then
Go up, if there’s no benefit, then withdraw! If we accidentally get the upper hand, you can take the big head, and I’ll just drink some soup!”
What he said was righteous, but I sneered in my heart. People's hearts are unpredictable, especially for such a sly and cunning businessman, and there is no such thing as a good thing.
Locke and I are just meeting for the first time, yet you dare to cooperate with me? If there is nothing fishy about this matter, I will pluck out my eyeballs and stamp them on you!
But it doesn’t matter, Locke is just a ghost businessman, and all he wants is money and treasures. He can use me, but why am I not using him?
We both scheme against each other, each with our own purposes. In the end, who can scheme against the other depends on our respective abilities.
