"Plop." There was a soft sound from the cabinet next to the south wall, as if something had fallen into the water.

Then came the sharp cry of a child: "Help me... save me..."

The voice stopped abruptly, the voice changed its tone again, and laughed: "Hee hee hee hee, save you, save you. One person has no shadow, two people are flooded, three people have lost their heads, four Individual... what about four people? Hee hee hee..."

Chen Xiaojun knelt in front of the south wall, and suddenly turned his head to look at Zhong Ling, his eyes were about to burst.His face and hands were covered with animal blood, mixed with tears, like a ghost crawling out of hell.

The cat's corpse on the ground stood up staggeringly at this moment, with its head hanging on the side, but its eyes rolled twice, and it let out a miserable meow.

Zhong Ling's palms broke out in cold sweat, and the hairs all over his body stood on end.

Behind him came the muffled sound of footsteps, the rustling of dragging things.Zhong Ling suddenly realized that this should be the sound of chains dragging on the ground.

Zhong Ling felt a gust of wind blowing from the back of his neck, and he glanced left and right.On the left is Wei Yan, and on the right are Tang Xiao and Xiao Hei standing side by side, so... what is behind him?

Wei Yan leaned closer to Zhong Ling and took his hand.

"Don't be afraid," he whispered.

Zhong Ling nodded, and said to himself: "This is all fake, all fake, I'm dreaming."

"Crack!" The cat's head suddenly turned back a few times, and it was twisted down abruptly.The cat's corpse let out a squeal of pleasure instead.

Zhong Ling lowered his head, but couldn't help wanting to look, so he half-closed his eyes and slowly raised his head.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, but he almost fainted when he saw it.

In front of him was a blue-black coat, and water was still dripping down.A huge black shadow enveloped him, no, it enveloped the entire room.

A blistered, white and swollen little hand protruded from the corner of the clothes, and it was slowly reaching down towards Chen Xiaojun's direction.

At the same time, the child's voice sounded again, accompanied by the shaking of the chains, it was obviously on the heads of several people: "What about the four people? Four people... I will eat all four of them." !"

Tang Xiao said silently: "It's so pitiful. I'm so young, I don't know how to count if I'm a ghost."

Xiao Hei agreed: "That's right, there are clearly five of us here."

Kid: "..."

There was a strange silence in the room.

Because of fear, Zhong Ling seemed to be blocked just now, and dared not move.Even though Wei Yan was by his side, Zhong Ling was still afraid, this man's hands were colder than his own!

The little ghost said: "You are liars! There are only four people in this room!"

Tang Xiao turned his head to look at Xiao Hei, and the two laughed together.

This is obviously a very unyielding brat.With his efforts, there was a booming sound in the cabinet, the cold wind blew through the room, and the dead chickens and fish jumped up.

However, after the conversation between Tang Xiao and Xiao Hei, all the panic and frustration seemed a little mentally retarded.

The bluish-black clothes corner floating in the air slowly moved in front of Xiao Hei, and a pair of swollen hands stretched out, grabbing towards Xiao Hei's neck.

Xiao Hei stretched out his hand and slapped it out.

"Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooth

Xiao Hei shook his hand: "Hey, my hand is wet."

Tang Xiao shook his head: "Oh, this year's ghost, it's the worst one I've ever seen."

Zhong Ling was dumbfounded and didn't know what to say: "You... you..."

Tang Xiao said "ah", and said to Zhong Ling: "Do you still remember Xiao Hei's full name? Isn't it very exotic? Their family actually believes in Buddhism, and there are several lay Buddhists in the family. He has been I have been exposed to Buddha's light, so I can restrain these things."

For the sake of credits, I have to round up the nonsense!

The little ghost cried into a ball: "You bad guys! Why am I so miserable! My God! Do you have any sympathy!"

Tang Xiao said: "It's reasonable, if you didn't play tricks before, you might still have a little sympathy."

The kid sniffled and shouted, "Am I not a ghost?! Of course I'm going to play tricks!"

Tang Xiao nodded: "That's right. But you're too immoral. How do you scare people?"

He pointed to Chen Xiaojun who was already frightened and unconscious on the ground.

The little ghost snorted twice, and suddenly said: "Ah! I can see that you two are not human..."

Xiao Hei pounced on him, held down the little ghost, with a "kind" smile on his face, and said softly, "What nonsense are you talking about, isn't it?"

The kid covered his mouth with him, and made a "woo woo woo" sound——Your uncle!How can I talk when you cover my mouth? !

Tang Xiao clapped his hands: "What are you doing in the middle of the night, why don't you go back to sleep! Let's go!"

The little ghost nodded again and again - let's go, you two bad monsters!

Without saying a word, Tang Xiao and Xiao Hei turned their heads to look at Wei Yan together, waiting for instructions.

Wei Yan looked at the little ghost and asked, "Which one is this?"

The little ghost froze for a moment, and then whined twice—someone covered my mouth, so I couldn't speak.

Xiao Hei stopped immediately.

The little ghost immediately shouted: "You two are not human... woo woo woo..." His mouth was covered again.

Tang Xiao and Xiao Hei looked at each other in blank dismay. Once they let go, the little ghost would definitely tell them that they were monsters first.Looking at his broken jar, I still don't know what to say.

On the side, Wei Yan said to Zhong Ling: "Chen Xiaojun seems to have woken up."

Zhong Ling stretched his neck and looked over: "Ah? Really?"

Wei Yan raised his hand and slashed at the back of Zhong Ling's neck.

In the next second, Zhong Ling had already fallen into Wei Yan's arms.

Tang Xiao: "..."

Xiao Hei: "..."

Is there still such an operation?Cang-jun, are you not in pain?

Wei Yan held Zhong Ling in his arms, and his voice became colder: "Speak well."

Xiao Hei let go of his hand and glanced at the kid, his eyes were full of pity.

The kid is crying, you put people down yourself, why did you spread fire on me?

He was confused for a moment, and glanced aside: "I... that... the fourth family..."

The moonlight came in from outside, and behind Wei Yan and the others, a strange shadow appeared.It was a huge figure, like a large leopard, with a single horn on its head, two wings on its back, and a pointed mouth like a goshawk.Wherever it passes, even the shadows reflect wavy water patterns.

Wei Yan said: "In the first house, there was only one person, who was hung on a fan, leaving only one head. In the second house, there was blood in the bathtub, but there was no corpse. In the third house, there were three headless corpses. This is the fourth family, so four people have to be killed."

The little ghost said in shock: "How do you know?!"

Tang Xiao suddenly realized: "So you are the fugitive serial killer that Zhong Ling mentioned! I found it on Weibo just now!"

Little ghost: "..." Can you guys have the qualities to be a monster?

Tang Xiao frowned again: "Why don't you kill people directly? Why do you need to notify their family in advance? And make offerings?"

Xiao Hei replied: "That's right, that's right. Originally, Chen Xiaojun didn't want us to come. Because Mr. Cang appeared and gathered four people together, so he made an impromptu decision to let us come to replace the dead ghosts."

Xiao Hei circled around the little ghost: "Besides, you haven't reached the level of a ghost yet? If you killed someone, you would already be a ghost. So the previous murders have nothing to do with you?"

The little ghost faltered and looked up from time to time.

Tang Xiao and others followed his gaze and looked up, only to see a huge sharp beak protruding from the ceiling, pecking vigorously in the direction of Wei Yan.

Wei Yan sneered: "Ken showed up?"

He raised his left hand, a blue light rushed straight into the roof, accompanied by a shrill roar, the sharp beak retracted again.

"Why are you standing on the human side?!" A deep male voice came from around, like a growl squeezed from the lungs.

Wei Yan glanced at Zhong Ling in his arms, and said softly, "Because I promised someone."

"He? Hahahahahaha!" The voice rang again: "Thousands of years, you are doing self-righteous things in order to keep an empty promise. Ridiculous!"

Wei Yan sighed softly: "How did you wake up?"

The voice suddenly stopped: "I..."

Wei Yan said coldly: "Being used by someone without knowing it is ridiculous."

There was a commotion from the ceiling, and a pair of huge wings rushed out. The feathers were black and shiny, as hard as iron, and they suddenly pressed down. "Today I will kill you! The name of the demon lord will be rewritten!"

Wei Yan chuckled: "It's up to you? It's so weak that even a little fox can't see it."

Tang Xiao and Xiao Hei hugged their heads, and relying on the instinct of monsters, they changed back to their original forms with a bang bang, a red fox and a black bear.

They only heard a surging dragon cry, and the majestic dragon's head flew out, with a winding body, facing the monster.

After a burst of blue light, the shadow on the ceiling disappeared.

Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, changed back to human form, and sighed: "Mr. Cang is still reliable."

Wei Yan's face was a little pale, and he turned to look at the kid: "Where's your ghost messenger?"

The little ghost was already doubled from fright, and Xiao Hei pinched his body, tightened the chains on his body, and closed it again.

He cried out with a "wow", hugged Xiao Hei's arm, and wiped his nose: "Hero! Monster hero! Thank you for saving me!"

The kid sobbed and told what happened: "I was playing downstairs, but when I woke up, I saw that I was tied to a stone by this chain, and I was already at the bottom of the water.

I just squatted there waiting for my mother, and then a white-faced ghost came and told me that I was drowned.God!It hasn't rained in our house this summer, and there isn't even a puddle on the side. Can I still drown?

The white-faced ghost messenger wanted to take me away, but who knew that a monster that was neither a cat nor a bird suddenly jumped out of the water and ate the ghost messenger in one bite.Then threatened me to take him out for food.

I don't know why he needs my help even though he is so powerful.

Those cats and chickens are for me to eat.As you know, if you just become a ghost, you will be hungry if no one enshrines you.He eats people.Specifically why one, two, and three are ordered in this way, I dare not ask.

Oh, he said that it tastes best when people die with fear.In fact, I don't need me at all, he jumped out like this, you can see that both of you were scared back to your original shape, let alone human beings.

So, I was designing lines every day. When I thought that I might go from one without a shadow to twenty or something, my head was getting bigger. "

Wei Yan asked, "Do you know where you woke up?"

The kid shook his head: "I only know it's in the water."

Wei Yan: "Who tied you in the chain? Do you still have any memory?"

The kid continued to shake his head: "I don't have any memory at all."

Wei Yan put Zhong Ling on the sofa beside him, turned around and said to Tang Xiao and Xiao Hei, "Take care of him."

Tang Xiao nodded obediently.

"As for this kid," Wei Yan said, "You know what to do."

After finishing speaking, Wei Yan's figure became more and more transparent, shook twice, and turned into a huge red petal, which slowly fell to the ground.

Tang Xiao breathed a sigh of relief, blinked his eyes, and said, "It's a clone... No wonder there are four of us. Ghosts are a bit special."

He patted the kid on the shoulder: "Come with me in a while, before dawn, I'll take you to a ghost house outside the city. Just now when I took the bus into the city, I happened to pass by one."

The little ghost asked confusedly: "What is a ghost place?"

Xiao Hei said: "It's the 'shelter' opened by the ghosts. There are too many people, especially in big cities, and there are too many people dying every day. Then report to the ghost who became a Buddha, and after unified registration, the ghost will be sent to the underworld by a special ghost.

In the past, one or two ghosts were in charge of one ghost, and they were brought to the Hall of Yama from the moment of death. The work efficiency was low.Now it's all divided up, and each performs his own duties.The division of labor is the source of progress. "
