Two welfare monsters

Chapter 1: It's Waiting for You

    Small tattered building quiet corridor, dim lights flicker, light bulb is the eighties gourd-shaped old yellow lamp, brightness is poor, the top tangled with cobwebs. The dim corridor is silent, late at night, the coldness spreads.

    In the hazy bathroom, a ghastly white hand tries to pass through the mirror, excited that it will get to enjoy another delicious soulful dinner tonight!

    Of course, it was even more excited that that person had arrived! As long as it swallowed that person, it would be completely free from its bondage!

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

    Zhuang Ye's terrified scream came from the room, and Fang Xing, who had just reached the corridor, subconsciously stopped

    This kind of woman, deserves to die. Fang Xing took a dark bite, his face expressionless.

    He sat down at the porch and lit a cigarette and took a few puffs, his whole body sitting in the shadowy gloom, a quick string of snowy whites coming down.

    You're here?

    The corridor was quiet, a little chilly, and no one responded to Fang Xing's voice.

    ......

    Ten minutes ago!

    Don't go back tonight. Fang Xing said to Zhuang Ye with a serious face, not looking like he was joking.

    We've only known each other for five days, isn't that a bit too fast... Zhuang Ye was a bit coy.

    She had some interest in Fang Xing, this man who looked to be only about twenty years old was always particularly mature, exuding a unique charm that did not match his age.

    Of course, it would be nice if he could change that perpetual dead face.

    You could die.

    You're not kidding. Shoba smiled a little forcedly.

    I'm not joking. Fang Xing didn't joke and his face stayed taut.

    What do you mean? Zhuang Ye's face was a little unsightly, and the joke couldn't be taken too far.

    Go back and you will die. Fang Xing's tone was calm, more like stating a fact.

    After thinking about it, Fang Xing added, If you die, things will become troublesome, and I don't like to troubleshoot simple things.

    Fang Xing, don't go too far. Zhuang Ye's chest rose and fell.

    Perhaps because she remembered something, or because of Fang Xing's calm tone, she finally snapped, and she didn't even know why she snapped.

    You're scared.

    What am I afraid of? Zhuang Ye seemed to have remembered something, and his mood was a little unstable.

    For the first time, Zhuang Ye was annoyed with this face-palmed man, most people get annoyed when the sensitive parts of one's inner world are known by others.

    This was the case with Shoba at this time.

    Don't you sleep without feeling the bed next to you dented, and don't you find it a little hard to see your face when you look in the mirror?

    Hehe, I understand, no wonder I always encountered some strange things in the past two days, on the contrary, you are still so clear about it, these are all your means, right? Zhuang Ye looked like he understood something, revealing a cold smile with a mocking face.

    Don't shower when you get back tonight.

    It's waiting for you!

    After saying that, Fang Xing turned around and left.

    What should have been warned had been warned, what the woman did was none of his business, the plan was that she was a bait in her own right, and she had listened to him to catch the big fish, and all was happy.

    And if he didn't listen, Fang Xing had nothing to lose, at most things would be a bit more troublesome.

    That's gone? Oh, are all the crooks so dirty nowadays, they really do anything to achieve their means.

    She thinks she's seen through Fang Xing and that he has no shame in staying here before leaving.

    Zhuang Ye closed the door of the room, the first time into the bathroom, clattering hot water rinsed on the body, as if the day's fatigue are washed away, she is a scientific researcher, do not believe that there are dirty things in the world.

    ......

    Ahhhhhhhh!

    What happened? Sun Chuan across the room asked as he opened the door and probed.

    It seems to be coming from the opposite side. Lei Cheng also poked his head out, they heard movement but were unsure.

    This dilapidated small building was not big, there were only four rooms on the first floor, and one room was empty, so there were only two neighbors, none other than Sun Chuan and Lei Cheng.

    Friend, you just heard someone calling for help, right? Lei Cheng was more honest, and when he saw Fang Xing sitting at the stairway silently smoking a cigarette, he immediately opened his mouth and asked.

    Be careful, this person is suspicious, not someone from our small building. Sun Chuan pulled Lei Cheng and whispered with a guarded face.

    It's okay, we're so poor that people can't look at us.

    Right at this moment, a snow-white shadow quickly leaped onto Fang Xing's shoulders.

    The sudden appearance of a white shadow startled the two, and it was only when they fixed their eyes on it that they realized it was a very cute white fox.

    The white fox is the size of two palms, with snow-white fur all over the body, small ears but big eyes, very evocative and very cute.

    Kick the door, if you don't kick it the person inside will die. Fang Xing threw his cigarette on the ground and crushed it with his toes.

    What? The two exclaimed in shock, not bothering to think that much, immediately going to bang on the door of the Zhuang Ye family, after all, human lives were at stake.

    Anyway, they're not to blame for the loss of life.

    No lives were lost, they were saved, and they got a nice reward afterward.

    What's not to like!

    With a boom, the two kicked in the door and rushed in to find a naked Shoba collapsed in the shower room.

    Her eyes were glazed over with residual fear and disbelief, and there was a deep bruise on her neck, the steaming water still running down from the shower.

    Sun Chuan, go carry her out, it's not good for me to have a wife like that.

    Lei Cheng, after all, honest people, Zhuang Ye naked | naked | body, this kind of to have a family he really is not very appropriate.

    Better not move, she's dead. After much contact with the dead, he could tell at a glance if someone was dead or not.

    Fang Xing subconsciously felt out a cigarette and put it in his mouth. After thinking about it, he took the cigarette down again and put it back into the cigarette case.

    Little brother, this is none of our business, you saw it too. Sun Chuan stepped forward and touched Zhuang Ye's pulse, and after determining that there was no heartbeat, he was scared and backed away.

    Lei Cheng didn't look much better, with a weak sweat.

    Being dead and being dead in front of them are two completely different concepts.

    Fang Xing entered the room and walked straight to the bathroom, he saw a camera above the side of the shower, fist-sized very eye-catching, and could be seen when he looked up.

    This camera, it must not have been put there by Zhuang Ye, unless she has a special fetish!

    I've notified the police, so you two don't go destroying the scene.

    Yes yes, we will definitely not. Sun Chuan two people did not dare to make a move, they are just ordinary people, no one would want this kind of thing to be touched by themselves, clearing the suspicion in front of them is the most important.

    Fang Xing had just sat down when the camera in his hand started itself. The picture recording started from Zhuang Ye entering the bathroom, Zhuang Ye turned on the water to take a bath, the fog was hazy, and the mirror in the bathroom started to blur, vaguely more than a silhouette.

    Ow.

    What's wrong?

    Fang Xing moved his gaze away from the video and looked at White Fox. He could read White Fox's meaning, and White Fox could understand his words.

    You mean time?

    Fang Xing looked down at his watch, it was already 12:30 in the morning.

    The time, it's almost here!

    Let's go after we've seen it.

    Fang Xing stroked the white fox and his eyes continued to stare at the camera as he ignored the two people standing at the door. Because of them.

    Can't see!

    Brother Lei, why don't we go back to our room first, I feel that it's a bit eerie here, that person actually spoke to a white fox. Sun Chuan was a bit indecisive and looked at Lei Cheng.

    Well, let's wait a little longer, the police will be here soon and we can clear our name before we leave.

    The scene continues as the fog in the bathroom thickens and the mirror becomes more and more blurry.

    Zhuang Ye didn't notice that as the fog filled in, a hand gradually stretched out from the mirror, a ghastly white hand without the slightest trace of blood!

    Zhuang Ye washed her hair while she didn't notice that the water rushing down from her head gradually turned blood-colored and became sticky.

    She was still washing her hair, only to realize that the more she washed it, the stickier it got... The ghastly white palm inside the mirror had reached as far as its arm, it tried to free its body as well, but was limited by some force that prevented it from reaching out fully, and had to retreat to put its other hand and face out.

    Ahhhhh!

    Zhuang Ye had opened his eyes and saw a field of blood, the shower still constantly spilling blood down, and the thing in the mirror fully exposed.

    It was weird, the features were blurred, you couldn't even see any of them, just a face that was pale to the core.

    Zhuang Ye was extremely frightened, and only had time to let out a scream, her throat had been strangled by two hands, and she was strangled to death alive, with fear and disbelief remaining before she died.

    After Shoba's death, the hand slowly retreated back into the mirror, and the blank face slowly dissipated, though the face lifted slightly and looked at the camera, its face tugging slightly to reveal a frightening smile.

    Fang Xing knew that it was done for him, whether it was killing this woman or placing the camera, it knew he would come.

    It was provoking him!

    ......

Chapter 2 Where does the cold come from?

    Woo-hoo!

    Police car sirens from far and near, not far from a few families open the window to make a scene, although Yuncang City is a metropolis, but Chuanbei Township is just the fringe of its undeveloped remote areas, police cars are still not seen.

    Several policemen rushed in, the leading policeman was tall and very stout, with an expressionless and cold demeanor.

    Who called the police? Fang Dongjiang was the first to rush in, telling his men to check the body, then ordered the scene to be cordoned off, and put his eyes on the three, obviously asking the three with these words.

    It's me. Fang Xing took the duck-tongued cap off his head, revealing his original face.

    When he saw Fang Xing, Fang Dongjiang, who had always been expressionless, lost his composure for the first time, and then asked somewhat incredulously, You... You... You are ...... Xing'er?

    Uh-huh. Fang Xing simply replied back. He was also surprised, not expecting to meet Fang Dongjiang here.

    After Fang Dongjiang received Fang Xing's confirmation, his heart beat indisputably, the veins on his face were exposed, his fists were clenched so tightly that the flesh of his palms was pressed white.

    Not angry, but excited beyond control.

    Xing'er, I ...... Before Fang Dongjiang could finish, he was interrupted by Fang Xing.

    If there's nothing else I'll leave first, Officer Fang. Fang Xing's tone did not fluctuate much.

    No, Xing'er, I... Fang Dongjiang hurriedly walked up two steps, but after seeing Fang Xing's calm gaze, the corners of his mouth bitterly sighed.

    I'll give you a ride at this late hour. Fang Dongjiang said, he had already adjusted his state.

    Fang Xing looked down at his watch.

    Time.

    It's almost too late!

    No, you're busy. After Fang Xing finished speaking, he turned around and wanted to leave.

    One of the officers next to him wanted to remind Fang Xing to take a statement, when the other officer showed his high emotional intelligence by pulling back the officer who was about to go over to him.

    The other party was obviously someone they knew at the top, and it would be better to leave such matters to their own devices.

    Xing'er, are you still unwilling to forgive me? Fang Dongjiang sighed and whispered.

    Fang Xing stopped and turned his back to Fang Dongjiang, looking depressed.

    Don't mention the past.

    I know, but I'm sorry. Why don't you give me your number and we'll come out for dinner tomorrow.

    After all, we haven't spoken in three years.

    Fang Xing nodded, reported the number and walked out quickly, and the police officers blocking the place did not stop them.

    Fang Dongjiang left the matter to his men and asked them for a pack of cigarettes, squatting himself in the corner of the dim staircase, he took one out, his calm and strong hand was trembling slightly at the moment.

    He's quit smoking since that incident three years ago.

    However, facing this indifferent attitude of Fang Xing towards him, he still felt a pang of loss.

    Because this person, is his own brother who has been missing for three years!

    ......

    Fang Xing looked at the time, it was already 12:49 a.m. He walked so fast that a trace of sweat stains overflowed from his forehead. He ignored it and walked to a dilapidated utility room.

    Slamming the door heavily behind him, Fang Xing quickly entered, closing the window behind him and using something to block his view.

    He crouched in the corner, rolled two extra thick quilts around himself, and looked at the clock, it was 12:58.

    Two minutes to go.

    It's just one o'clock!

    The ancient bells of the alley ring out, and it's time!

    Fang Xing's body began to tremble, veins violently surfaced on his forehead, bean-sized cold sweat slowly flowed down his forehead and cheeks, and his teeth were chattering.

    He's cold!

    Fang Xing lowered his head and clenched his teeth, on his left and right shoulders, a blood gray skull tattoo surfaced respectively, there was not much difference between the two in terms of shape, however, at this moment, they were opposing each other!

    A single tattoo extended out from the blood gray skull on either side, not fast but not slow either, and soon the tattoo extended to where his elbow was.

    At that moment, his left eye began to change, the white of his eye slowly turning into a frightening deep cyan color.

    Also changing was the right eye, the whites of which turned a deep purple color.

    As the eyes changed, the skull tightened up a lot and the tattoos that spread out were compressed back.

    His eyes, were stopping the tattoos on both arms from spreading.

    The scene sounds comical, your own hand fighting your own eye, one destroying and one stopping.

    But the man in question had no energy to focus on it at all, the inhuman pain was making him want to break down, and he arched his back and growled lowly, it was the only way he could keep himself sane for a few moments.

    His face was almost twisted into a ball, the pain had tortured him beyond recognition, and at this moment he looked like a devil crawling out of hell, extremely hideous and terrifying.

    A shadow strung out and the white fox jumped onto Shang Xing's lap and curled up in his arms.

    The white fox didn't know what the principle was, but it knew that this would help Fang Xing.

    The appalling green and purple colors of Fang Xing's pupils slightly converged, the tattoos that surfaced on the surface of his skin accelerated and contracted, and there was only so much the White Fox could do.

    Time passed so slowly that every second was torture for him.

    Finally, 5 a.m. arrived.

    The two skulls let out a silent roar and then disappeared into Fang Xing's arm, while at the same time the left pupil's green aura and the right pupil's purple aura were slowly fading until they disappeared.

    Ow ow ow.

    The white fox's purr appeared a little feeble, it had consumed a lot in the night, and after two slight purrs and an intimate rub against Fang Xing's face, it lay down beside Fang Xing.

    Fang Xing gasped for air, he didn't even have the strength to respond and fell into a deep sleep.

    ......

    In the middle of summer, the sun comes out very early in Chuanbei Town, obviously only seven o'clock, the sun shines on people but there is a kind of slightly hot feeling.

    Honey, let's just move, that woman next door died in a weird way.

    In a breakfast place, Lei Cheng drank a cup of plain water, looked around and realized that no one was paying attention and then whispered in his wife's ear.

    Don't scare yourself, with our two meager salaries, where can we move, we still have to pay for our son's college education, where can we get the money? Lei Cheng's wife gave him a blank look.

    We can save some money, I always feel that this matter is too weird, every time I pass by her house I have a cool and gloomy feeling. Lei Cheng was a little afraid of his wife and didn't dare to retort forcefully.

    Come on, it's okay to move, you can move yourself, I'll stay here.

    Honey listen to me.

    Stop it, I've made up my mind.

    Hey, it's really unlucky there, I doubt there are ghosts. Lei Cheng poured another cup of white water and drank it down.

    A ghost? Oh, only people like you who have done something wrong would be afraid of ghosts coming to their door. Lei Cheng's wife finally became impatient, her tone impulsive.

    Immeasurable Heavenly Father, are the two monks meeting something dirty?

    Next door to the two couples, a Taoist priest carrying a large basket and wearing a Taoist robe with Buddha beads turned his head, folded his hands, and looked at them with a big smile

    It's common sense that in this day and age there are still monks dressed as monks who are basically here to cheat them out of food and drink.

    Where is the monk who cheats on his food and drinks? Lei Cheng's wife gave a somewhat disgusted look.

    This old man wearing a Taoist robe is said to be a monk who does not look like a monk and a Taoist priest who does not look like a Taoist priest, but he wears Buddha beads and a Taoist robe, and the most unacceptable thing is that this old man has dyed a head of yellow hair, just like a killer mattress.

    Lei Cheng's wife is a conservative thinking person, the most disliked is the bad social atmosphere, now an old man is also so hanging, silk, let her feel even more disgusted.

    What do you know? Lei Cheng held the mindset of trying, he always felt that there was something weird about things, if he remembered correctly, a week before Zhuang Ye's death, every time he passed by that house, he would feel a penetrating cold.

    You should know that the temperature in Chuanbei Town now is at least twenty-five degrees or more even in the morning, and at noon it reaches a staggering thirty-six degrees.

    He didn't care about these details before Zhuang Ye's death, thinking that the other party's house might have installed an air conditioner, and although the people who lived here were a little poorer, if they wanted to buy an air conditioner, they could still buy it if they bit the bullet.

    But after the incident, he realized that something is wrong, first of all, what kind of air conditioning is able to cold to the heart? Let him in the heat of the day are shivering, and secondly, there is air conditioning is also the first cold feet, after all, closed the door, the cold air out is also from the doorway, but carefully recalled that he found that, in addition to rising from the bottom of the heart of the chills, the rest of the place is not cold.

    The last and most important point is that on the day Zhuang Ye died, he realized that Zhuang Ye's house was not air-conditioned at all!

    Where did the cold come from?

Chapter 3 Master Tao helps you to solve the evil omen!

    The Taoist priest sat down without seeing the outside world and took a cup of tea and downed it.

    Hey, Master Taoist I know astronomy from above and geography from below, especially the matter of warding off evils and getting rid of ghosts, I'm good at everything, and I can get rid of illnesses with my hands, no, I can get rid of ghosts with my hands. The Taoist master pointed to the banner on his basket and laughed hehehehe.

    You're a master? Lei Cheng's wife looked at Master Dao's outfit and revealed an inexplicable smile.

    Master wouldn't dare to be called a master, I'm just an ordinary person with a bit of means. Master Dao said modestly.

    Oh, this is called a selfie stick, right? Now masters are playing live streaming? Lei Cheng's wife asked with a cold smile, her tone of sarcasm obvious, wanting to see Master Dao make a fool of himself.

    Amitabha Buddha, monks don't lie, this is not a selfie stick, this is a descending magic wand, with it, ordinary ghosts don't dare to come close. Master Dao spouted nonsense in a serious manner.

    Eh, Master, you still have a rocket rising from your cell phone? A hilarious lad next to him voiced out a flirtatious comment.

    Huh? Rocket? Master Dao took a look at his cell phone screen and smiled into a chrysanthemum on his face, Ohhhh, Amitabha Buddha, thanks to Flying Snake Shi Shi's rockets, and thanks to all of you who have greatly rewarded them.

    Master Dao made a hands-in-the-air gesture at his cell phone.

    Still saying it's not a crook, monks dressed up as Master Dao, not even a bit of common sense, but also open a live broadcast to go around soliciting for money. Lei Cheng's wife was disdainful and skimmed her mouth.

    The monk is wrong, which is a live broadcast, that's a stored energy Demon Illuminating Demon Mirror, under my Demon Illuminating Demon Mirror, all ghosts can't escape the eyes of the Taoist Master. The Taoist priest did not feel the slightest bit of shame and exited.

    Lei Cheng had the intention to find someone to help, but he also realized that Master Dao's unreliability, and in the end, he did not open his mouth.

    Besides, it's the 21st century, where are the demons and ghosts!

    Lei Cheng comforted himself with this in his heart, and even he himself did not quite believe it.

    That's really enough, a monk playing live is full of ghosts and ghouls, who is he amusing? Get lost. Lei Cheng's wife couldn't help but explode.

    Shi master this is not true, poor Taoist I have ancestral talisman, district brats what to worry about, I see Shi master two sideburns white, the hall of darkness, is the omen of great evil ah, I think recently there will be a blood disaster. To go to the blood disaster, solve the evil omen, necessary Taoist master me ......

    Undo the bra/bra? What else is necessary for you? Undo your whole family's bra/bra, psycho. Lei Cheng's wife left angrily.

    Wife? Wife? Lei Cheng chased after him.

    Eh eh eh, that's not what I meant, I'm talking about solving the evil omen, hey, how can the mind be so unopen!!!

    Tao took down his cell phone and pointed it at the camera.

    Forget it, meeting is fate, whoever swipes another rocket, poor Taoist I'll help them out for once and give you guys a live broadcast on how to cut down demons at night!

    The two rockets on the live feed have lifted off!

    Hey, thanks for the rockets from the Fat Unicorn Taoist, wow, or two, I love you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you, Taoist Master, I'm going to tail them now, oh no, I'm going to go send them a creation.

    ......

    The sun shines into the hut, Fang Xing simply soaked two bowls of braised beef noodles, the white fox also followed the food, spicy wailing at the same time also kept will be stuffed into the mouth.

    Fang Xing, the rice is cooked, come out to eat. Liu Quan walked into the cubicle and waved at Fang Xing.

    No Uncle Liu Quan, I made noodles, you guys eat. Fang Xing shook his head.

    You child, why are you eating all this junk food, you were in a coma a few days ago, your body needs a lot of nutritional supplements! Liu Lan brought a large stack of dishes to Fang Xing's room.

    Thank you, Auntie Lan. Fang Xing tried to squeeze out a smile, but with his serious injuries, he realized that his face muscles were so stiff that he couldn't pull a good-looking smile even if he forcefully tugged at them, so thinking about it, he gave up on this intention.

    This child of yours, you just don't want to trouble people, look at you, you're in your twenties, your body is still so skinny and weak, you can pass out even when you walk on the street, how can you do it if you don't replenish your body? Liu Lan's tone carried concern.

    The whole family is his former neighbor in Wuan village, can be said to have watched him grow up, a few years ago, the whole family moved out of Liu, bought a second-hand house in Yuncang city, because of the living is not used to, last year moved to Chuanbei town to build a new house.

    He's staying here for now.

    Thank you Auntie Lan.

    Fang Xing did not explain, he was clear about his situation, suffering that inhuman torture every day, having this skinny body was already good, at least he did not break down. The reason why he chose to spend every night in the utility room was also because he was afraid of scaring Mr. and Mrs. Liu Quan.

    By the way, Liujin came back this afternoon and got first prize in the national martial arts competition.

    Congratulations then.

    Liu Jin that child is too naive, in addition to our two relatives, is the best relationship with you, sometimes your words are more useful than us, you also have not seen a few years, he came back you help me teach him, so that go out easy to suffer.

    Fang Xing nodded in agreement, and Liu Lan left with a smile.

    Haaah!

    Fang Xing exhaled a breath of cool air!

    It was hot now, but he felt a chill every now and then.

    He's been to the hospital, but naturally the hospital couldn't find anything.

    Because that cold was exactly like the cold he suffered late every night, only dozens of times less.

    But it was just that, and his scrawny body could hardly handle it.

    Usually when there is sun he would move the old man's chair out of the yard to bask in the sun, today there is no sun, so he raises a fire in the yard.

    This scene might seem unbelievable to other people, in thirty-something degree weather, you actually have to build a fire to keep warm? But Liu Quan's family was not surprised, they all knew that Fang Xing's physique had been yin since he was a child, and he was especially afraid of the cold.

    Three o'clock in the afternoon.

    The door to the courtyard was pushed open, and a very burly man appeared in the doorway, wearing sunglasses, with an aura that revealed a bit of ferocity.

    Fang Xing twisted his head, looked at the muscles of the hanyou's arm, then looked at the muscles of his own thighs, and withdrew his gaze with some disinterest.

    With pure strength, he couldn't even twist someone's arm with his thigh!

    Brother Xing, I heard my mother say you were there, haha, it's been a few years and you finally came to see me. This is for you, it's warm. Liu Jin carried a heater in his hand, he knew that Fang Xing was afraid of the cold.

    Got the title?

    Got it, my parents were so happy, they're still at home looking at my medal!

    Well, good.

    Haha, compared to Brother Xing, this is not worth mentioning. Liu Jin took off his sunglasses, scratched the back of his head in embarrassment, and smiled in a naive manner, not seeing a ferocious appearance in the slightest.

    Fang Xing took out a cigarette and handed it to Liu Jin, then took out one and lit it, half a day before he spat out a smoke ring and said, Me? Oh, I don't have much ability, every day is just roasting fire, going out for a stroll, and the day passes.

    How can that be, I remember clearly, six years ago when my martial arts was just learning martial arts and my self-confidence was bursting, I encountered three punks stopping Xiao Xue, I went up to help but was pressed into a corner and rubbed. At that time, Brother Xing you appeared, even though you were very skinny, you still resolutely fought with those three punks, and in the end, you easily beat those three punks away.

    Not lightly, I was almost concussed ...... Fang Xing corrected.

    Geez don't sweat these details. Ryujin shrugged it off with a big grin.

    Fang Xing: ......

    You know Brother Xing, at that time I swore that I would be like you, Brother Xing, and be a man of the heavens and the earth!

    Topsy-turvy?

    Fang Xing shook his head in self-deprecation and fell silent.

    Brother Xing, I'm planning to hang out with you this time when I come back.

    Oh.

    Fang Xing's cold response did not surprise Liu Jin, instead, he explained in a serious manner, Brother Xing, I have considered this matter for a long time, since that happened, you have been away for three years. I was also very excited when I heard your news some time ago. Three years have passed and I have my current achievements, but I always have a feeling in my heart that I can't go wrong with you. Liu Jin looked serious.

    Fang Xing glanced at him with some surprise, but he soon withdrew his gaze and changed into a comfortable kudzu lie, gently stroking the white fox in his arms, saying, Follow me, and you'll die!

    Brother Hing ......

    Fang Xing waved his hand, once again took out a cigarette and lit it, blazing two puffs. Said: It's getting late, I still have things to do tonight, so I won't see you off.

    Okay, Brother Xing, I won't bother you then.

    ......

Chapter 4: Under the Bed

    Wife, don't be angry, I'm not reflecting on it, I shouldn't have thought about it, I shouldn't have talked to that monk, we're not going to move into it, don't you, don't be angry.

    Hmph, you also know that I'm angry ah, counting you still have a little conscience, know that you admit your own mistakes, you go to help me get some clothes, cook a good meal and I'll forgive you.

    Come on, I'm good at this.

    Lei Cheng family is not rich, with old wooden cabinets, the bed is also a plank bed, the house is not big, seventy or eighty square feet, the bathroom is very small, did not install mirrors, and use old yellow light bulbs to save electricity!

    Honey, what color would you like to wear today?

    Any one of them.

    Lei Cheng opened the wooden cabinet, an extremely pungent smell of blood wafted out, but Lei Cheng continued to rummage through the closet as if he was unaware of it, and found that there were several pieces of red clothes, some red and yellow, and some pure red.

    Wife, when did you buy so many red clothes? Lei Cheng was puzzled, where did his wife have so much money?

    What red dress, I didn't buy it. Lei Cheng's wife's voice came from the bathroom.

    Still saying no, the cupboard is full of them, and they're still off-color. Lei Cheng got a little angry, it's not like he didn't buy them for his wife, why did he hide so many from him?

    Lei Cheng took out a piece of clothing, his hands were stained with red dye he did not notice, in the empty space under the closet position, blood slowly seeped out.

    What kind of material is it made of? It's so bad.

    Lei Cheng once again reached into the closet to get some clothes, but this time he saw a dark green leather coat, he was sure he hadn't bought this style, he remembered that it seemed to be the one Sun Chuan next door often wore.

    Good, actually stealing a man behind my back, let's see how I'll fix you this time!

    Lei Cheng was furious, his own wife stole a man behind his back, if this is still tolerable, then he might as well take a piece of tofu and hit his head.

    Lei Cheng wanted to rip the clothes out, but he didn't realize that the clothes were actually so heavy, he guessed that the corners of the clothes were hooked, and he pulled even harder.

    Rip.

    The clothes were ripped out and fell heavily to the floor with a crash.

    Gobble, there's something in there!

    Lei Cheng was startled, and then in annoyance, he unzipped his shirt, and a human head covered in blood, with the corners of its mouth slit and its eyes rounded rolled out, along with two bloody broken legs, and the human head rolled down in a position where its gaze was directly facing Lei Cheng.

    I don't know if it was his illusion, but he saw the eyes of the human head move, and the corners of the already cut mouth actually revealed a bizarre smile.

    Ah, there's... There's... There's a ghost!!!

    Lei Cheng fell to the ground, his legs quickly stomping forward out of fear, his entire back leaning against the closet, his expression extremely frightened, his mind momentarily unable to turn a corner.

    But he doesn't realize that the real danger isn't right in front of him ......

    He felt something on his shoulder, and when he looked at it, his pupils contracted violently ......

    ......

    There's a ghost, there's a ghost, there's a ghost of you dead man, don't hurry up and bring clothes to my old lady. Lei Cheng's wife angrily yelled.

    Surname Lei, if you don't answer me, I'll divorce you! For a long time no one responded, she felt that something was not right, and there was some fear inside her.

    Outside Tara Tara's slippers sounded, and if you listened closely you would realize that it was more like the sound of something hard dragging on the ground.

    A knock sounded outside the bathroom, rhythmic and stilted.

    Lei Cheng's wife opened the door a crack and passed her clothes into the bathroom with one hand.

    She was also relieved, then a little annoyed, and was about to curse angrily when her afterglow revealed that the hall was dark.

    Lei Cheng turned off all the lights?

    Good you Lei Cheng, dare to scare my mother like this, okay, I'll slowly settle the score with you after I get dressed.

    She put on her clothes, but didn't see the three bloody words slowly emerging from the back of her dress under the bed!

    Old ...... Granny, hide ...... Under the bed ... He just ...... Can't find ...... You ...... up.

    It was Lei Cheng's voice, but it seemed dull and hollow.

    Lei Cheng, if you dare to do that again we'll get a good divorce.

    The knocking on the door outside the bathroom got louder, Lei Cheng's wife was impatient and ready to open the door, when she inadvertently looked down only to see blood slowly flowing into the bathroom along the outside.

    Her face was instantly pale, her insides filled with fear, and an unbelievable thought floated through her mind.

    She screamed and pushed the bathroom door open, only to find nothing, when a man had been knocking on the door moments before.

    Her insides were filled with fear, and that's when she remembered that Lei Cheng had said to hide under the bed it wouldn't be able to find it.

    In this situation, Lei Cheng's wife was like seeing the last straw and frantically ran to the bedroom.

    She panicked and hid under the bed, covering her mouth to keep from screaming out. The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer, and with the help of the dim streetlight outside the window, she saw a footprint made up of blood floating out of thin air, accompanied by the sound of footsteps.

    Getting closer.

    Getting closer!

    The footsteps stopped and the blood stopped dripping.

    Lei Cheng's wife was trembling, even the hand covering her mouth was bleeding from her bite.

    She was scared, she was on the verge of breaking down, she wanted to cry to vent her emotions, yet at the moment, she didn't dare let herself sob out.

    A few moments later, the footsteps sounded again, slowly moving away.

    Lei Cheng's wife was trembling, snot and tears were no longer distinguishable, she didn't care about her image.

    Because that thing, it seems, is gone.

    She tilted her head gently, her eyes glancing over the edge of the bottom of the bed.

    Not ten centimeters from her face.

    There are two faces!

    Two faces with only bloody heads, both with eerie smiles gazing at her.

    ......

    It was the middle of summer, and the wind was warmer at night, but tonight there was a heavy rain, and there weren't many pedestrians or vehicles on the road, and this kind of weather was torturous for Fang Xing, especially when the rain dripped on his skin.

    The weather didn't really affect him that much, but it enlivened the icy coldness in his body, the coldness that went to the marrow of his bones terrified him.

    Cold or not, why don't I hold you? Fang Xing wrapped his hands around his elbows while holding the umbrella, blocking the rain while not letting his skin come into contact with it.

    The white fox's tail fanned out, signaling that it wasn't necessary.

    Honestly I didn't want to go out in this disgusting weather, but that thing was delivered to my door and there was no reason not to take it.

    If I don't go, it will kill a second, and a third, until it has absorbed enough to break free of its bonds,, and will come to me afterward.

    The white fox rubbed his face in understanding.

    ......

    This damn place is so eerie, this should be the place. Master Dao murmured irritably.

    In his words, if it wasn't for the continuation of love and peace on earth, if it wasn't for the popularity of the live broadcast, if it wasn't for the fat Qilin daoist rewarding him with two rockets, he wouldn't have come to this kind of place to find out what to do.

    Carrying a basket, a flag and selfie stick, Tao stood in front of Lei Cheng's house, ready to knock on the door.

    What are you doing?

    The lighting here was already dim, and the Taoist master was not a bold man, and was startled by the sudden noise.

    ......

Chapter 5 I can't see anything!

    Aiyo daoyou, please make some footsteps when you walk, you'll scare people to death!

    Master Dao slapped his chest in fear, but then straightened up again when he thought he was on the air.

    Fang Xing spread his hands, he just came here and saw this sneaky Taoist priest, he just asked, who knew that this had scared the Taoist priest.

    Who are you? Fang Xing asked.

    Master Dao my last name is Dao, my first name is Shi, jianghu people call me Master Dao Shi or Master Dao, I can decapitate demons, I can get rid of demons, I specialize in helping people to ward off evil spirits and demons, and to solve evil omens!!!

    Eh no, I haven't asked who you are yet. That said, that white fox on your shoulder is pretty cute.

    Get outta here, this isn't the place for you.

    Fang Xing spoke calmly, shaking the water off the umbrella and meticulously storing it away, folding it neatly.

    He seems to have a mild case of OCD, and I don't know when it happened.

    What do you mean I shouldn't have come, what do you know you little brat, Master Taoist I am a specialized Taoist.

    Master Dao was not happy to hear this and stretched his neck to pull.

    Yeah, with a selfie stick?

    So that's why you don't understand, I call this a descending magic wand, just have this ......

    Before Master Dao could finish his words, he was directly interrupted by Fang Xing:

    Oh, I know.

    Ahem, as the saying goes, man is iron and rice is steel. Now that the world has changed, life is not easy, everyone is out to make a living, and only with strength can we cut down the demons, don't you think it's true?

    Master Dao has a thick skin, not the slightest awareness of being torn apart.

    Don't broadcast it live, it's useless, the real ghosts won't let you film it. Fang Xing casually reminded, as to whether the Taoist priest listened or not, that was his business.

    Che, I have an ancestral talisman, this is something left behind by the old ancestors, absolutely effective, as long as you stick one on your cell phone, what demons and monsters can't see?

    The Taoist master took out a stack of old talisman paper from a small wicker basket, and looked serene.

    Ow!!!

    The white fox's cry made Fang Xing's pupils shrink, this talisman paper could actually make the white fox feel threatened?

    However, after Fang Xing and White Fox exchanged eye contact, he had clearly understood what White Fox meant, these talismans were still somewhat powerful at best, and did not pose a threat to White Fox.

    What are you doing? Stop stop stop stop don't do anything!!!

    Seeing that Master Dao was about to put the talisman on it, Fang Xing immediately grabbed Master Dao's cell phone and smashed it.

    If the Master Dao talisman really works and everyone watching the live stream sees it, then it's going to be a problem, this is going to be a big mess.

    My cell phone ah, my money ah, Fat Qilin Taoist friend I'm sorry ah, it's not that I'm not live, it's this god damned son of a bitch who dropped my cell phone.

    Master Dao was momentarily confused, then let out an earth-shattering wail.

    I don't care, you compensate me for my cell phone, the original price is 998, now 988 well, after all, I used it for so long, it's ten dollars cheaper for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Fang Xing: ......

    Help... Life... Ah... Help... Life... Ah... A slow and hollow voice came out from the Lei Cheng house.

    What's going on, the sound is coming from inside? Master Dao then wanted to rush in, but was blocked by Fang Xing.

    In Fang Xing's experience, the person inside must have died, which has a living person shouting for help in such a hollow tone?

    Don't you know how to ward off evil spirits and get rid of ghosts? The prerequisite for warding off evil and getting rid of ghosts is that you can see ghosts.

    Fang Xing snatched the talisman paper in the Taoist Master's hand, looking around he didn't find any water, he directly spat two mouthfuls of saliva on the talisman paper to make it wet.

    Eh eh, what are you doing, what are you doing! You grab the paper for wiping your ass too, you ......

    Before the Taoist master could finish speaking, Fang Xing had already put the talisman on his forehead.

    You ...... You ...... You, me ...... Me ...... Me, fuck me!!!

    The Taoist master tore the talisman paper off hard and rubbed his forehead vigorously, trying to wipe off the saliva that made him sick, he spread his hands and still saw blood, mixed with the saliva.

    The blood is his, the spit is Fang Xing's.

    Just now, when Fang Xing was applying the talisman, a blade cut Master Dao's forehead, bleeding out a tiny bit of blood.

    It's too much to bear!!!!

    The Taoist master rolled up his sleeves in a furious manner, so it was really tolerable for the uncle, but not for the aunt.

    It's best to observe your surroundings before making a move. At this Fang Xing appeared calm and shrugged.

    What's going on around me, are you trying to say there are ghosts around? Or there are your people ah? Taoist master I am not scared, around even if there is ......

    Master Dao's voice came to an abrupt halt.

    ......

    That, brother, that... That... What are those things?

    Master Dao instantly wimped out.

    He saw white shadows constantly drifting around him, which were blurred and some were even on the verge of dissipating.

    The shadows panicked and moved away from them, seemingly terrified of the Taoist master's talisman paper.

    You saw it?

    See see see, what the hell is this. Master Dao's tone trembled a little.

    Oh, I can't see.

    Master Dao: ......

    How can you not see it, and how do you know there are these things if you can't see them? Master Dao jumped up in anger.

    Luckily, his cell phone was smashed by Fang Xing, or else this scene would have been transmitted to the internet, and his image of Master Chen Dao would have been completely ruined.

    I can control it. Fang Xing answered honestly.

    Master Dao was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he couldn't do anything about it. In his opinion, Fang Xing definitely did it on purpose.

    Then how come I can suddenly see these things? Could they be charms?

    The Taoist master is a little anxious, he is thick-skinned, usually deal with living people, but this scene in front of him, has exceeded his knowledge, he does not dare to go to pull the wool over the eyes of those who do not know what is the thing.

    Without answering, Fang Xing took out a piece of talisman paper within the Master Dao's basket and stuck it on his own forehead, removing it a moment later.

    Intuition, it wouldn't hurt to try anyway. And it seems that this thing can only be used by you, or it needs your blood to activate it. Fang Xing's tone was calm and his face was expressionless.

    You can't expect a facepalm guy to make you much of an expression no!

    Are you going to ask me to drain some blood for you to try? Master Dao had a wary look on his face.

    En. Fang Xing responded, saying, It's been released.

    Master Dao froze, so honest? He looked at the wound on his arm, and ten thousand grass mud horses raced through his mind.

    Have you ever asked Master Dao what I mean? Have you ever put me in your eyes?!

    The answer is naturally no, which is still a little bit in the heart of the Taoist master.

    Brother!

    Kiss my brother!!!

    I was wrong, just forgive me and help me lift it. Fang Xing was too cold, leaving Master Dao clueless, like a dog gnawing on a turtle with no way to get off the ground

    I, I, I, you tell me what this place is and how to undo it? This this, I can't see anything, I can't see anything, oops, I don't want to see!!!

    Fang Xing was not in a hurry, but the Taoist Master was in a hurry, these things were really beyond his understanding!

    Aren't you the Taoist Master who claims to exorcise demons and get rid of ghosts? Fang Xing asked with a sideways glance.

    Master Dao's face held red, in his opinion, this is ** naked mockery, he has always made a living with this, but now he does not know how to retort, after all, in the past, just sing a few lines and then play a couple of hands to have a large wave of income, completely did not think about it and will not think about what to do when you meet a real ghost!

    The baby is suffering inside!

Chapter 6 The baby's heart is holding it in!

    I'm also doing this to make a living, and it just so happens that my family's old ancestor left behind these baskets again, as well as those talismanic papers that I don't quite understand. The Taoist Master had to find an excuse to explain, his skin wasn't thick enough to outright admit that he had been cheating for food and drink before.

    The baby is so fucking suffocating!

    You don't understand? Fang Xing shot a sideways glance at Master Dao.

    Master Dao was about to explain a couple of things, but Fang Xing's next sentence made him choke.

    And normal.

    What kind of tone is that? What's that look in your eyes? It's not like I don't understand it at all, I just haven't tried it, after all, I've never met a ghost ...... The Taoist Master was a bit annoyed,, but as the explanation came to a close, his voice was much smaller and a bit understated.

    I've watched others juggle once or twice since I was a kid and learned a little bit, and now that live streaming is popular, I try to help people juggle live and make a good living!

    Master Dao had no heart and began to thump up again, obviously making a lot of money in the live broadcast, but when he thought of his current situation, his face fell down again.

    Let's go, that thing should be out too, and you'll be of some use following it.

    That thing? That, can I not go? Master Dao was a bit hesitant to hear that.

    Yes, just leave directly. Fang Xing's tone did not fluctuate much and pointed to the corridor.

    The Taoist master looked at the eerie stairway, then saw the white shadows drifting around him and secretly gulped.

    I'm going alone? You're not going? The Taoist master immediately had the intention to retreat, nothing was more important than his life.

    Fix what's inside before you go.

    Is the stuff in there awesome?

    Not bad.

    The Taoist master secretly breathed a sigh of relief, not bad means that it should not be too powerful, this youth still seems to be a thick leg in this regard, it is always safer to hold tight.

    Since that thing isn't powerful, I feel sure I can ...... with my hands.

    Fang Xing pushed open the door to the room and walked in.

    Master Dao: ......

    Eh eh eh, I haven't said I won't go, what if that thing comes out, eh, don't go so fast, wait for me.

    Master Dao still wanted to exaggerate his own merits, but they didn't give a damn about him.

    ......

    Stepping inside, a pungent smell of blood hit him, and inside stood three people, three dead bodies to be exact.

    Except for the body of Lei Cheng's wife, which was still intact, the bodies of both Lei Cheng and Sun Chuan looked grotesque, with various parts of their bodies looking like they had been pieced together, and blood was still flowing from the pieced places.

    Vomit!!!

    When the Taoist master saw the scene and the pungent smell of blood, his face turned white and he covered his mouth and dry-heaved.

    He was just an ordinary person, or perhaps a godly Taoist master who knew the furtive arts, how could he keep it together when he saw such extremely bloody and subversive images?

    Ho-ho-ho-ho!

    The three pieced together corpses emitted extremely bizarre sounds from their mouths, their eyes turned gray, and the blood on the surface of their bodies had already turned black, but as their bodies twitched, the blackened blood flowed out again, exuding an extremely strong smell of blood.

    Who gave you the guts to provoke me? Compared to Master Dao's discomfort, Fang Xing appeared calm.

    Heh,, heh. The three corpses didn't answer, looking at Fang Xing with a wry smile on their faces.

    "Forget it, since you've done it, you have to pay for your actions.
