Bad luck

Early the next morning, Xia Yunzhou's call came to Chi Jingyuan's mobile phone. Chi Jingyuan was eating breakfast, and Qi Yitang was sitting opposite him. He glanced at Qi Yitang who was calmly drinking tea, and quietly hung up Xia Yunzhou's call. Telephone.

"Don't answer?" Qi Yitang asked softly.

"En." Chi Jingyuan took a sip of porridge in response.

"It smells so good." Yan Zhiqiu appeared out of nowhere, and sniffed in front of Chi Jingyuan's porridge, Yan Yiye hurriedly grabbed him, but it was still a step too late.

The next mouthful of porridge tasted like chewing wax. Chi Jingyuan suddenly realized that things eaten by ghosts would lose their flavor. After all, he wasn't too used to the fact that the house was full of ghosts.

"I'm sorry, brother." Yan Zhiqiu grabbed her skirt and looked at Chi Jingyuan pitifully.

"It's okay, I'll fill another bowl." After Chi Jingyuan filled another bowl, seeing Yan Zhiqiu still looking at him eagerly, he suddenly hesitated, and handed the bowl forward, before Yan Zhiqiu had time Happy, Qi Yitang raised her hand to stop her.

"Leave him alone, he's greedy for everything he sees, and he'll eat yours."

Chi Jingyuan looked at Yan Zhiqiu hesitantly, and Yan Zhiqiu's eyes fell on the dishes on the table again. If there was any saliva, it must have already fallen.

"Chen Xuan." Qi Yitang said, and the next second Chen Xuan quietly appeared in the room, he took out two black balls from his arms knowingly, Yan Zhiqiu and Yan Yiye's eyes lit up immediately, Grabbing the corner of Chen Xuan's clothes, he climbed onto him.

"Brother Chen, Brother Chen..." The voice was as clever as it could be.

Chi Jingyuan looked at the two of them, no matter how they looked, they were two ordinary and cute children, how could they be ghosts.

And as far as he knows, ordinary ghosts can't stay in the human world for a long time, they usually have unfulfilled wishes, so why do these two children, Yan Yiye and Yan Zhiqiu, stay in the human world?

He withdrew his gaze and inadvertently glanced at Qi Yitang, why is Qi Yitang?Moreover, why did he want to marry himself?

After breakfast, Chi Jingyuan was about to go to work, Qi Yitang stopped him, and put a black pearl into his palm, it looked like a black pearl.

Chi Jingyuan naturally wouldn't accept it, but Qi Yitang held his hand, and the cold touch spread through the surface of the skin to the bottom of his heart, making him shiver in the early morning.

"It's not some rare treasure, it's for your self-defense." Qi Yitang saw what he was thinking and explained.

"Self-defense?" Chi Jingyuan really couldn't see how a bead could defend himself.

A smile appeared on the corner of Qi Yitang's mouth, "Hold this bead and say it silently..."

Qi Yitang said a series of spells to him, and Chi Jingyuan listened to it twice before he remembered it.He closed his eyes, and silently recited the mantra in his heart according to Qi Yitang's instructions.

Suddenly he felt the weight in his hand change, and when he opened his eyes again, the black bead turned into a spear.

The barrel of the gun was as black as ink, the tip of the gun was bright, with a bright red tassel hanging below it, and the tail of the gun was golden, and an air of simplicity and sternness rushed towards the face.

Chi Jingyuan's hands trembled a little, he felt his blood rushing and boiling, and a wonderful emotion that almost wanted to cry swept him over.

"It's called 'Zhi Ge'." Qi Yitang looked at Chi Jingyuan tenderly.

"Zhi Ge..." Chi Jingyuan stroked the body of the gun, a little lost in thought, a familiar and nostalgic feeling wrapped him up.

……

Chi Jingyuan was late for work for the first time, Zou Ping was amazed, and asked him if he went out to be cool last night.

Brother Li patted the back of Zou Ping's head, and said for Chi Jingyuan: "You thought it was you, Xiao Chi must be tired recently."

Chi Jingyuan waved his hand and said, "I overslept, sorry."

At just nine o'clock, Xia Yunzhou rushed in aggressively, dragged Chi Jingyuan out, and those who didn't know thought he was here to elope with Chi Jingyuan.

Finding a deserted place, Xia Yunzhou looked at Chi Jingyuan with bright eyes and asked, "Listen to Tian Tian, ​​can you see ghosts?"

Chi Jingyuan took a step back and nodded, "Well, I thought you could all see it."

Xia Yunzhou shook his head and said, "Your eyes are called yin and yang eyes, not everyone can have them."

"I also heard from Tian Tian that you killed a hanged ghost?"

"It's Miss Tian's magic weapon." Chi Jingyuan didn't intend to take credit for it at all.

After Xia Yunzhou heard this, he patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder happily, and asked obsequiously: "Well, are you willing to work with us? We have five insurances and one gold, and you can take private jobs, and the salary is not low. "

Chi Jingyuan was stunned for a moment, "Is it so casual for you to recruit people in the Special Case Division?"

Xia Yunzhou raised his hand and said: "There is no way, there is a serious shortage of people, and only four people can be gathered together through patchwork. When I get busy, there are not enough people."

"You have met Wu Di and Tian Tian, ​​and there is another family from Southeast Asia. Have you heard of the lowering master?"

Chi Jingyuan heard about it, Xia Yunzhou said: "My name is Su Bian, 25 years old, two years older than you, next time I will introduce you to each other."

It was as if Chi Jingyuan had agreed to join their special case.

"I……"

"Are you going to reject me? Look into my sincere eyes and tell me, are you willing to reject me?" Xia Yunzhou grabbed Chi Jingyuan's arms and stared at him with wide eyes.

Chi Jingyuan: "..."

Finally he sighed and said, "Give me some time to think about it."

"Okay, okay, you think about it." Xia Yunzhou let go of him, looked into Chi Jingyuan's eyes seriously and said, "I know that you have a restless factor in your bones, the kind of work that works from nine to five to solve the relationship between neighbors and neighbors is not your job. really want."

Maybe Xia Yunzhou is right, but Chi Jingyuan still needs to calm himself down and think about it.

"I will seriously consider it."

After Xia Yunzhou left, Brother Li walked up to Chi Jingyuan, smoking a cigarette, and handed him a cigarette. Chi Jingyuan took it. He seldom smoked, but occasionally he smoked one. It was the first time since he was discharged from the army. .

"I said a long time ago that we can't keep an eagle like you here." Brother Li exhaled a puff of smoke and sighed.

"Brother Li..." Chi Jingyuan didn't know how Brother Li could see the intention of Xia Yunzhou's visit. This old man has always taken good care of him since he came here.

"I haven't made up my mind yet."

Brother Li smiled, revealing a wrinkled face, "Sooner or later, while you are still young, do what you want to do. Don't leave regrets for yourself."

Chi Jingyuan's throat felt a little congested for a while, Brother Li stood up and patted him on the shoulder, "Go."

Chi Jingyuan was the only one left outside. He sat on the steps, put one hand on his knee, took a puff of cigarette, and then slowly exhaled. His handsome face was looming in the clouds, as if hidden in the clouds. A mysterious and beautiful statue in the forest.

The formalities were completed very quickly. On the day Chi Jingyuan left, Zou Ping, Xiaomi, and Brother Liu sent him to the door and asked him to come back to see them when he was free.

Chi Jingyuan agreed, and entered the Special Case Division that day. Because of the investigation of the human skin case, the welcome meeting had to be temporarily postponed.

Xia Yunzhou put the photos of the victims of the three cases on the table. After Chi Jingyuan took a look, he frowned, "The three of them..."

"They look alike, don't they?" Xia Yunzhou said.

"En." Chi Jingyuan nodded and said, "You don't look very old."

Wu Di walked over with the computer in his arms and said, "Victim No. 17, Guan Xiaolin, 16 years old, is in her third year of high school. Victim No. [-], Xue Meng, is [-], a sophomore in high school. Victim No. [-], Shu Yingmin, is a high school repeater."

Chi Jingyuan frowned. Among the three victims, two were minors, and one was just an adult, at the same age, they died so tragically.

Xia Yunzhou pressed his eyebrows, and said sadly: "The three of them can't recruit their souls, and it is very likely that they have already been swallowed."

"What do you mean?" Chi Jingyuan asked.

Xia Yunzhou explained: "After a person dies, there will be ghosts who will come to take the soul to the underworld, but some ghosts who have not fulfilled their wishes or are full of resentment will become lonely ghosts and eat with big fish. Like small fish, there is also this kind of food chain between ghosts, and some ghosts will increase their strength by devouring ghosts that are weaker than themselves."

"But they can't recruit their souls right after they die. I prefer their souls to be devoured by the ghosts that killed them."

"Does that mean that they disappeared from the world forever?" Chi Jingyuan stared at Xia Yunzhou with dark and clear eyes, Xia Yunzhou couldn't bear it, but still told the truth, "Yes."

Xia Yunzhou knew that this was too cruel for ordinary people. Even if they were used to this kind of thing, they would feel compassion. He was about to comfort Chi Jingyuan, but Chi Jingyuan took a deep breath and said, "Then we Hurry up and catch the murderer."

There is nothing they can do for those who have already been killed, they can only do their best to catch the murderer as soon as possible, so as not to add more victims in vain.

Xia Yunzhou thought that Chi Jingyuan would be depressed, but he didn't expect him to cheer up so quickly, he was a little surprised and pleasantly surprised.

"it is good."

Xu Yan was very satisfied with the house, and paid the rent neatly, but what made her a little uncomfortable was that since she moved in, she could always hear the sound of drums every night, dull and piercing.

"Dong dong dong..." It seemed to be in her ear, but also seemed to be under her bed.

The night was as cold as water, Xu Yan woke up from her sleep again, her nightdress was wet with sweat, she touched her cold arms and sweaty forehead, she decided to get out of bed and find some water to drink.

The cool wind blew up the curtains, and the shadows of the trees outside the window were whirling. It seemed that there was a figure looking inside. Xu Yan was startled. She stared at the dim light and looked carefully. film.

She felt that she must have been too busy recently, didn't sleep well, and was a little suspicious. After drinking a glass of warm water, Xu Yan felt much better. She opened the bathroom door, intending to wash off the sweat stains all over her body.

The rushing water washed her body, she closed her eyes, letting the warm water take away the coldness on the surface of her skin.

Got a gas problem?Why did the water get cold? Xu Yan wiped water on her face, opened her eyes, but saw that her hands were glaringly red, sticky to the touch, and the strong smell of blood in the air made her tremble all over. She raised her stiff hands The neck was facing a pair of red eyes.

"The skin... peel off the skin..."

"what--"

In the middle of the night, Chi Jingyuan was fast asleep when he was woken up by a hasty phone call. He picked up the phone and glanced at it. It was Xu Yan.

The next second after pressing the answer button, Xu Yan's hoarse and desperate voice came from the phone: "Help—"
