Urban Monster Talk

Ghost-catching intern (trial version)

This is a new story I wrote - Ghost Hunting Intern, which has been officially published. Now I will post the first chapter for you to see. If you think it's worth paying, hee, please...

1. The difference between the girl and the ghost coincides with August 1st, which is the Army Day.

You Shaojing stared at the calendar on the wall. Today, it has been 11 days since your father was detained for corruption and bribery.

For You Shaojing, this 11 days were as long as a year, and it seemed to pass in a flash, so that her memory was empty when she recalled what had happened at that time. She drew a circle with a pen on the day 11 days ago on the old calendar on the wall and bounced the dust piled up on the calendar. The dust fell down and fell into Zhong Xuekui's eyes. He couldn't wipe it, so he had to blink his eyes desperately and shouted, "What are you doing! Look at me! I'm down there!"

"It's hard not to see your respect! Seeing that I don't have nightmares at night, I will be mentally tough. You Shaojing said lightly, and at the same time deliberately got more dust down, Zhong Xuekui shouted angrily.

In fact, although You Shaojing said this, it is not unreasonable, not to mention Zhong Xuekui's ugly appearance: his messy bird's nest-like hair with a dirty rag-like turban, leopard head and tiger forehead, black face as the bottom of the pot, a pair of ring eyes, one big and one small, with a beard on his cheeks - such a picture is enough to go out at night. It is difficult to make people unnoticed with a scary appearance, and the place where he is is even more strange: by the south window of You Shaojing's house, there is a wall full of spider webs hanging on the wall that has been uninhabited for a long time. This old calendar, which is three years ago and has begun to turn yellow, from the wall A black object protrudes from the ground, and if you look closely, you will find that it is actually a human face.

This face is only exposed outside the wall from the top to the forehead, down to the chin and the back half of the ear, as if he carefully chiseled a hole in the wall that was exactly the same as his face, and then he stretched his face there from the outside. However, even if he walks outside, he can't see anything other than Zhong Xuekui's face, because according to him, he was stuck in the passage on the way from the underworld to the sun, so only half of his head appears in the sun, and the rest is still soaked in the ferry pool in the underworld.

How can such a face appear in such an ordinary room in such a strange way that people don't pay attention to him? Even You Shaojing planned to go to bed without closing doors and windows at night to see if a thief who broke in without long eyes would be scared to death.

Of course, Zhong Xueqi didn't know You Shaojing's calculation. Now he focused on the dinner that You Shaojing prepared for herself on the table, thinking about how to persuade You Shaojing to feed herself some food.

You Shaojing deliberately swept around with a feather duster, making the dust fly around the dirty house that had been uninhabited for many years, and dragged the feather duster from Zhong Xuekui's face from time to time, making him unable to sneeze. Zhong Xuekui knew that You Shaojing's behavior was absolutely intentional, and it would be useless to say anything else, so he just sighed there: "It turns out that it's really so difficult to save the world! The sky will give a great responsibility to the people... Zhong Xuekui and Zhong Xuekui, you should keep in mind your ambitions, and don't retreat because of such setbacks! No matter how many unlucky things you encounter, no matter how indifferent people you meet, you have to persevere to the end for the vast world..."

"Ok, okay, in this case, you have to say it 200 times a day, and I can hear the cocoon coming." You Shaojing threw down the duster and sat down desitantly.

It's not sure when Zhong Xuekui appeared in this room.

Because of the case involving his father, except for all the property confiscated, the house under his name was also seized. You Shaojing didn't want to live in a rented house with her stepmother or go to her biological mother and stepfather. She was homeless for a while. Finally, I remembered the old house before my grandfather's death, so I proposed to move here. Before his death, his grandfather had decided to leave this house to his beloved You Shaojing. Although his uncle transferred the house to his own name after his grandfather died, when You Shaojing said that he was going to live, his uncle still readily agreed.

After You Shaojing asked to live alone, her mother only said a few words: what is it for a girl to live by herself and what to do if something happens, and she did not object very much. The stepmother simply showed undisguised happiness because she didn't have to live with this stepdaughter. You Shaojing had been mentally prepared for this. She readily brought only her own clothes and came to the old house.

When she came to the place where she lived with her grandfather since she was a child, as soon as she closed the door, all the strength disguised in front of others collapsed. She covered her face and began to cry, allowing her body leaning against the door to slide softly to the ground. Since the death of her grandfather, the closest person in the world has been her father, and the only person in the world who cares about her is also her father. Now that her father is suddenly arrested, her world can be said to be on the verge of collapse at the same time. She can still hold on in front of others, and once she is alone, she can no longer suppress it. No matter how indifferent and strong this girl usually looks, she is still a 16-year-old child.

You Shaojing doesn't believe that her father is the kind of person who will embezzle and take bribes. My father has been reluctant to change a dress for several years. His beloved You Shaojing has not yet ridden the electric car he has wanted for a long time. Not long ago, he heard a quarrel with his stepmother because he could not buy a diamond necklace. If he really embezzled hundreds of thousands of yuan, how could he live such a life? But no one will listen to her "child" defense, because she can't even visit her father during the investigation, and she doesn't even know where her father is now.

All relatives, including stepmother, were indifferent to their father's accident. It was difficult for You Shaojing to accept their obvious attitude of giving up their father, and secretly decided to do something for her father even if she was the only one! As long as the father is innocent, he will definitely find evidence that he has no crime.

You Shaojing sat on the ground and cried for a long time. In the dizziness, she suddenly heard a voice saying, "Please don't cry. You have been crying for more than three hours. Even if you are not afraid of crying your throat, please pity my ears..."

Is there someone else in the house that has been closed for a long time?

This idea made You Shaojing shocked and angry. She looked around with tears in her hands, and her already crying eyes looked around the room a few times, but she didn't see anyone exist. Did you have hallucinations? She stroked the wall and stood up, ready to go to the bathroom to wash her face with cold water. At this time, the voice sounded again: "Little girl, can you please help me remove this thing on my face?"

You Shaojing jumped up again. She searched around the room. As long as she could hide people, she even opened the curtains to see if anyone was hiding behind, but she still couldn't find anything.

"Little girl, just help me. I've been stuck here for several days, and it's really uncomfortable to have something on my head every day." The sound sounded again.

Who? Who is there! Come out!" You Shaojing grabbed the ashtray on the table to defend herself and asked harshly.

"I'm here, here!" The voice reminded her happily, "Come and help me, kind little girl, I can't get out now."

A kind girl? Didn't you meet Grandma Wolf?

You Shaojing muttered in her heart and followed the sound.

When she hesitated to lift the old wall calendar on the wall that had not been replaced for many years, she couldn't help screaming: "Ghost..." - it was Zhong Xuekui's face that appeared in front of her.

It took Zhong Xuekui more than half an hour to appease You Shaojing, who was scared by him, and explained to her that he was a ghost of the Yin Cao (equivalent to a civil servant in the Yangjian, Zhong Xuekui emphasized this point), because several evil spirits in the underworld fled to the Yang world. In order to capture them back, he was responsible and righteous. Only then did the strong ghost decide to come to Yangjian to perform official duties. Who knew that there was something wrong when crossing the two worlds, and he was stuck in the gap between the two worlds. His face was exposed on the wall of You Shaojing's house in Yangjie, but his body was still soaked in the ferry pool in the underworld.

"Are you really a civil servant in the underworld?" After listening to his explanation, You Shaojing asked the first sentence. She doesn't believe that officials will be stuck in the wall. Shouldn't... Is he one of those evil spirits who try to cross the border?

After listening to her doubts, Zhong Xuekui's unspeakable performance made her confirm her doubts.

What method should be used to deal with evil spirits? You Shaojing desperately recalled the ghost stories told by her grandmother before her death. Black dog blood? Peach wood charm? Where can I get these things now? By the way, I Ching! Aren't those notes and novels all recorded that scholars use the I Ching to eliminate ghosts? She ran to the study to find out the Book of Changes from the ancient books collected by her grandfather on the bookshelf, and opened the page to Zhong Xuekui: "Evil, tell me obediently, or I will put the Book of Changes on your head!"

"I'm really not a villain! Don't you believe me?"

"How dare you quibble! Just because you look like a devil!" You Shaojing patted him on the head with the scripture.

Zhong Xuekui suddenly stared at the bull's eyes: "Do I look like a devil? My appearance is exactly the same as that of Lord Zhong Kui. How dare you say that I look like a devil!"

"Zhong Kui? The ghost-catching Zhong Kui? So..." After hearing this, You Shaojing looked at Zhong Xuekui again and felt that he really looked like Zhong Kui in the painting. But then again, Zhong Kui doesn't look like a good person just by looking at his appearance, does he? Otherwise, how can the champion be forced to die?

"Lord Zhong Kui is the person I respect the most. In order to learn from him, it took me more than 200 years to make myself like this! Lord Zhong Kui praised me for not thinking about stinky skin and concentrate on practice! Lord Zhong Kui said..." As soon as Zhong Xuekui talked about his idol, his eyes began to shine and talk endlessly.

You Shaojing began to shake his head and sigh: It's not bad to worship Zhong Kui as an idol and imitate his behavior, but it's too crazy to even learn from his appearance. Is there also a hardcore "fan" in the underworld? However, after such a disturbance, she no longer suspected that Zhong Xuekui was a villain: "Are you really a civil servant? Then why can't it get out? Is your work in the underworld so dangerous?

Although Zhong Xuekui's face was as black as the bottom of the pot, he still turned red after listening to You Shaojing's question: "To tell you the truth, in fact, I secretly came to the world by myself..."

It was actually more than 80 years ago that 900 evil spirits escaped from hell, but because the turbulent human situation at that time also affected the hell, the management of the hell at that time was also relatively chaotic. Such a large prison escape incident has not been effectively taken seriously until it caused more and more harm. It was only more than a decade ago that it was put back on the agenda of the kings of the decade.

900 evil spirits have escaped from prison collectively, which is the largest prison escape since the establishment of the hell. Officials at all levels have searched hundreds of millions of rules and regulations, but they can't find a basis for what measures should be taken in this case. So for the first time in thousands of years, Yan Luo sat together and held a plenary meeting of royal officials of the whole government.

This meeting has been held for ten years.

In order to create a new regulation that is applicable and does not conflict with other regulations, the Yan Luos racked their brains, but because there are too many existing regulations, after the newly formulated regulations are issued, it takes more than a hundred skilled judges to work just to compare the old regulations, and this more than a month's work The end is often: "The dispatch of a team of 100 people to Yangjian is in conflict with Article 6 of Chapter 7 of the Regulations on the Administration of Access between the Two Worlds: "There shall be no more than 10 people to do business in the world, and no more than 15 tourists at a time."

"The arrest of fugitives does not meet the scope of work stipulated in the Black and White Vicious Work Manual." Or "According to the provisions of the Land Office Army Management Law, a new unit must first be sent to heaven for a 50-year patrol, so it may not be feasible to quickly form a force dedicated to arrest fugitives." Wait for the result of such a check to come to an end.

This meeting that many ghosts have paid great attention to is still continuing, and Zhong Xuekui is one of these followers.

He is the ghost responsible for receiving the ghosts who died. As the 900 evil spirits escape, more and more of the demons he receives are possessed by evil spirits. Zhong Xuekui felt righteous and indignant whenever he listened to the ghosts who died telling them how they were killed and what those evil spirits did in the world. He hoped that the Yanluo would talk about a way as soon as possible to catch those evil spirits who harmed the world as soon as possible, but there was no news day and night. Finally, one day, Zhong Xuekui couldn't sit still when he saw the ghosts of more than a dozen children who had been abused and killed. He packed up his weapons and magic weapons and decided to go to the world alone to catch ghosts, no matter what punishment he would receive in the future (it is estimated that his unprecedented behavior will be discussed for 80 years to decide his punishment in the future).

Zhong Xuekui, full of ambition and compassionate heart, came to the pond, led the guard away by throwing stones to ask for directions, and plunged in. After he entered the water, he remembered that it was necessary to distinguish by carrying different waist cards to go to the heaven or the sun through the crossing pool. He rushed in so boldly without taking anything. As a result, the whirlpool to the heaven and the sun lit up at the same time and emitted a huge suction, dragging Zhong Xuekui into their arms. Zhong Xuekui finally woke up from his forgetfulness and realized his situation - his body was in danger of being torn apart under this pulling effort.

"I'm going to Yangjian. I'm going to Yangjian!" Zhong Xuekui shouted and swam desperately to the whirlpool leading to the sun. He struggled to move his arms between the two whirlpools. After swimming for seven or eight hours, his efforts finally paid off, and he began to slowly move closer to the whirlpool leading to the sun. The closer he got, the smaller the power of the other whirlpool. Finally, he inserted into the whirlpool leading to the sun like a wooden stake in the rapid rotation, and was also squeezed out by that force.

"When I wake up, it will be in this wall," Zhong Xuekui said with a frustrated face. "And there is still something on my head and I can't see anything. What's worse is that he didn't come over and soaked in water, which was cold and wet. Fortunately, there are no fish and shrimp in the ferry pool, otherwise they won't bite them to death.

"Don't worry, even animals won't eat anything that looks poisonous." You Shaojing can now be sure that this fool is not a devil.

"Real? Fish and shrimp won't eat me, so I'm relieved." In fact, although there are no fish and shrimp in the ferry pool, there are still some other monsters. Zhong Xuekui has been doing this these days. As soon as I breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly came back: "What do you mean by that? What does it mean to look poisonous?"

You Shaojing helped him put the mirror in front of him and motioned him to look at it.

"You mean I'm ugly! Even if I'm ugly, don't you think it's hurtful to say that to my face!" Zhong Xueyuan roared with a pair of ox eyes.

"It's your fault that you look so ugly, and it's even more wrong for you to come out to scare people." You Shaojing immediately roared back, "You don't want to look like this and appear in such a place again. It's good that a girl's family hasn't been scared to death by you. Can't you say a few words?"

"It took me 200 years to change like this. How dare you say it's ugly!" Zhong Xuekui was furious, "On the surface, you are insulting me, but in fact, you are insulting Lord Zhong Kui!" How can I forgive you if you dare to insult my most admired Lord Zhong Kui! I have to beat you up!"

You Shaojing patted him on the head and said, "Come and beat me, come and bite me!" Come out if you have the ability!" Zhong Xuekui was furious when he was teased by her like a child, but now he can't move, so he has to become a fish on the swimming board. Fortunately, You Shaojing soon lost interest in him and began to clean up the house.

After moving here, You Shaojing has been cleaning up the house, but the house that has been vacant for more than a year is not so easy to clean. Old furniture, garbage and her luggage are piled up everywhere. Although she hasn't even eaten lunch all day, she can't see any achievements at all. As long as she sees these garbage young Jing in front of her, she will be indescribably upset, and Zhong Xuekui's bright eyes are still staring at her all the time, so how can she not feel annoyed? She swept the debris piled on the sofa to the ground, curled up in the sofa with her head in her hands, and didn't move and didn't say anything. Seeing her like this, Zhong Xuekui also closed her mouth knowingly.

It took a long time for You Shaojing to ask weakly, "Are you hungry?"

Zhong Xuekui was looking around boredly and was stunned when he heard You Shaojing's words: "Well, are you asking me?"

You Shaojing still curled up there and said weakly, "Is there anyone else here?"

"You're asking me... Well, I'm hungry. No, I mean, I can't starve if I don't eat. Of course I can eat better. But you have prepared so little, you'd better eat it first. I'll eat the rest of you.

You Shaojing shook his head. She found a high bench to put under Zhong Xueqi's face and put food on it, which was exactly the height of Zhong Xueqi's mouth, so that he could bite something with a slight movement of his mouth. Zhong Xuekui took a few bites. This was the first time he had eaten food since he was stuck here, and he was quite moved. He said vaguely with something in his mouth, "You eat too. Why don't you eat it yourself?"

You Shaojing returned to the sofa and curled up there. After Zhong Xuekui asked, she did nothing for a long time. After a long time, she said in a weak voice, "I can't eat it."

"At least eat a little. You have been busy all day today. If you don't eat, you will not only be able to stand it, but also cause gastrointestinal diseases. Believe me, my last life was because I was too nervous to eat when I took the scientific examination. As a result, I had a stomach problem and finally vomited blood on the day of the list. You have to remember my former lesson, and don't..."

Why is this ghost so nagging? You Shaojing entered the bedroom by pressing her temples, and Zhong Xuekui, who was still persuading her to eat, fell heavily on the door.

This guy looks like a "ghost" and doesn't look like he will die of malnutrition and vomiting blood? By the way, he said that he worshipped Zhong Kui. After becoming a ghost in the underworld, he not only changed his name, but also spent hundreds of years practicing his appearance to be similar to Zhong Kui. I really don't know what he looks like? Since he would envy Zhong Kui's appearance, he probably looked like a bean sprout, right? You Shaojing thought randomly and fell asleep in a daze.

Today, Zhong Xuekui was in a good mood.

In the morning, among the ghosts received by his colleagues who were in charge of the end of the good man, there was a ghost he knew. In his previous life, this ghost did good deeds, but finally died and plotted with his relatives. In this life, he was still kind, but he lived a carefree life. At the age of 100, his soul after death was also frank and careless. He walked the Huangquan Road with a smile, and soon sent him down to the free world with the respect of ghosts - like him, he helped the world and did good deeds. People in several lifetimes can already jump out of reincarnation.

Zhong Xuekui also went to see the respectable old man off. After coming back, he had been humming and working, but when the girl's ghost was brought to him, he suddenly felt that his good mood had all flown away.

The girl's soul was incomplete and in a muddle-headed state. It was two ghosts who helped her barely let her stand in front of the mirror held by Zhong Xuekui's hand.

What a clean soul. Once there was only love and happiness in her heart, and that feeling full of happiness could be felt even after her soul had broken into what it is now. But these feelings of happiness are now all covered by a feeling of fear, pain and inexplicableness - this is the deepest feeling when the girl died.

"Poor this child, I'm afraid he can't be reincarnated?" The ghost who helped her said to Zhong Xuekui.

Zhong Xuekui nodded heavily: "Her soul is too powerful. I'm afraid it can only be repaired by several generations of animals." Although it is his job to receive the tragic dead, he will still feel uncomfortable when he sees the tragic appearance of innocent souls.

"They are all those damn evil spirits!" The ghost said angrily. The girl died at the hands of a man she didn't even know. After being possessed by the evil spirit, the man was madly infatuated with the girl who passed by the door every day. In order to get her completely and possess her, he finally killed her one day. Looking at the man hugging the girl's body in the industry mirror, nibbling and swallowing greedily, and always integrating with her in this way, the well-informed Zhong Xuekui couldn't help but feel disgusted. What's more serious is that part of the girl's soul was swallowed up by the ghost before the ghost arrived, making it impossible for her to be reincarnated.

That hateful evil spirit has harmed her in this life, but also wants to make her such a kind and innocent soul and be reincarnated as an animal!

The girl's soul is still drowsy. She doesn't know that the ghosts around her are talking about her, and they don't know that the two ghosts are supporting themselves to reincarnate themselves and become a little stray cat that will be adopted by their poor parents who have lost their daughter.

Watching the girl's soul disappear outside the hall, Zhong Xuekui found that he had been grasping the pen in his hand and had broken the iron pen that had sent away several generations of ghosts in this position. His own hand was also cut by the "unwilling" pen and began to bleed.

Will ghosts also bleed? This was once a surprise for Zhong Xuekui, who had just become a ghost. Later, he learned that ghosts also have bodies. Since the moment they became ghosts, they have had a body. This body is the same as Yangjian, with flesh and tears, and a heart of justice.

These days, Zhong Xuekui often goes to inquire about the movements of the kings, because he often makes some wine and vegetables for filial piety, so he has become very familiar with the ghosts guarding the hall. Just yesterday, after Xu Gui received his good wine, he secretly told him that although the meeting, which had been interrupted for several months because one of Yan Jun went to the heavenly court to discuss, the kings were still busy tasting the good tea brought by the heavenly court for several days and did not start talking about business.

When will we take action?

How many innocent people need to die before there is a result?

Zhong Xuekui threw the broken pen on the ground fiercely and stood up and turned angrily.

As a ghost, you can't catch hungry ghosts. As a ghost, you can only see the miserable appearance of the victims. As a ghost, you know that evil spirits are doing evil in the world but don't care... Zhong Xuekui, why are you called Zhong Xuekui? Why do you claim to be the successor of Lord Zhong Kui...

Zhong Xuekui walked around with an anger, but the flame in his heart could never be extinguished. When he realized that he was far away from his office, he found himself standing next to a large pool.

The pool is about 100 mu square, surrounded by a green jade fence. Eight monster statues stood in the four corners, and the curling smoke from their mouths shrouded the pool with a hazy atmosphere. This place is rare, and there is a kind of mystery in the coldness. This is the ferry pool, which is a passage to the world or the sky.

Zhong Xuekui stared at the light fog on the pool and suddenly came up with an idea: "The kings have been discussing for almost ten years and there is no result. I want to go to the sun to catch evil spirits by myself. I want to eliminate harm for the people. I want to..."

He passed by in a group of ghosts, and the guardian stone beasts sneaked into the water when they were looking at their road signs. As soon as the water splashed, it was torn by a huge force. He struggled to get rid of it, but his body was as unable to move as if it were crushed by a stone, and he was swept by water waves like at the bottom of a deep lake, and did not listen to his command at all.

"I'm going to eliminate harm for the people, I'm going to walk for heaven, I'm going to catch the devil in the Yangjian..." Zhong Xuekui shouted, struggled hard, and finally woke up sweating profusely.

That's great. It turned out to be just a nightmare. I'm still stuck in the wall - but being stuck in the wall seems to be worse than a nightmare.

Zhong Xueqi gasped and finally realized where he was from. It was still the messy room. It was already dawn, but the thick curtains were still pulled, but a trace of sunlight shone on the wall next to Zhong Xuekui from the cracks. What about the girl yesterday? Why haven't you got up yet? She has always been worried. She hasn't eaten seriously yet. Now she doesn't go out of the room. Shouldn't she...

"Hey...Hey...Hey...Little girl, wake up...Hey...Little girl, the sun is out...Little girl..."

You Shaojing, who had been wandering in an uncontrollable dream, was awakened from her dream by this intermittent and harsh sound. She stared at the ceiling for a long time before she figured out where she was. All kinds of strange scenes in the dream still flashed in her mind, which made her feel very tired when she had just woke up. She moaned and leaned her head against the pillow and didn't want to move. At this time, another howling came in outside the door: "Hey...Hey...Little girl...Hey..."

You Shaojing's mind finally woke up a little, grabbed a pillow and fell heavily at the door and shouted, "What are you howling! It's so noisy!"

Zhong Xuekui's voice outside the door came with a sigh of relief: "It's great that you're fine. You didn't eat last night and didn't move this morning. I thought you were okay.

You Shaojing smiled bitterly. Her biological mother, stepmother and various relatives were all close to her at this time. On the contrary, it was the ghost who came out of the wall who cared about whether something had happened to her. So the "secret weapon" that was supposed to be thrown at Zhong Xuekui was embarrassed to take action again and took it back embarrassingly.

You Shaojing prepared a simple breakfast. In Zhong Xuekui's endless talk about the harm of not eating, she also picked up her chopsticks, but after a few bites, she stopped in mid-air and burst into tears. Zhong Xuekui stopped eating hard, squinted at her for a while, and asked hummingly, "What's on your mind?" How about telling me? You have been unhappy since I saw you.

"My father..." You Shaojing has never told anyone what she thinks since her father's accident, but now somehow she actually said to this grimace embedded in the wall. Seeing You Shaojing talking in front of him and crying, Zhong Xuekui had the intention to comfort her, but he didn't know how to speak. After a long time, he said, "Don't be sad. Although the evil ghost possessed you made your father do all kinds of wrong things, there is a saying that flies do not hold seamless eggs. After all, he will be possessed by the evil ghost because of his own mind. Imprectness gave the other party an opportunity, but don't worry, when he is sentenced to death, after arriving in the underworld, the judges will identify the big mistake he made because of possession and will give him a chance to reincarnation..."

"You will be sentenced to death! Don't curse my father!" You Shaojing screamed and picked up the bowl and plate and hit Zhong Xuekui in the face. It was not until there was anything to grab in his hand in front of him that he squatted on the ground and hugged his head and cried. Zhong Xuekui looked at her blankly with vegetable leaves and rice grains on his face.

You Shaojing's crying sounded loud and small, suddenly howling, suddenly sobbing, suddenly choking, and lingering in her ears all the time. Zhong Xueqi watched the time pass little by, and the vegetable soup on his face was dry, and You Shaojing still showed no sign of stopping. Zhong Xuekui couldn't stand it anymore and wailed, "Don't cry, don't cry. What's the need to cry like this? My parents never cried like this when I died... Please don't cry... Ah... I can't stand it anymore, don't cry..." He shouted loudly, but You Shaojing didn't cry anymore. I paid attention to him and cried there.

"Please don't cry. I will help you catch the devil to avenge your father. Can you spare me... After catching the devil, I'll let you chop it with a knife, burn it with fire, fry it, and saw it with a saw... You can vent your anger. Now forgive me now... I really can't stand it..."

You Shaojing suddenly raised her head and asked, "Is what you said true?"

"Of course it's true. I promise to catch the evil spirit and let you deal with it happily."

"Am I asking about my father? He, he is actually innocent, isn't he?"

"Of course, and even if he makes a big mistake, as long as he plead guilty in accordance with the law and accepts the human trial, he will not be investigated for his actions in this life in the future - one crime and two punishments are not..." Zhong Xuekui originally wanted to explain the punishment regulations of the underworld in detail, but was interrupted by You Shaojing. She stood up and stared into Zhong Xuekui's eyes and asked, "Is everything you said true?"

"I'm telling the truth. I never lie!" Zhong Xuekui raised his eyebrows and was quite proud.

"So you came from the underworld, and you ran some evil spirits; you are a ghost official; my father did such a bad thing because he was possessed by ghosts?" You Shaojing asked in one breath.

"It really can't be true anymore!" Zhong Xuekui blinked.

"Have you seen my father? How do you know that he is possessed by a devil?"

"Because you smell like ghosts, I know you are not possessed by ghosts. Of course, something happened to the people around you." Zhong Xuekui sniffed at You Shaojing again, "The taste is already very light, but you can still tell that he is a very greedy evil spirit..."

"Bang" You Shaojing punched him in the face and screamed: "You pervert!"

Zhong Xuekui was beaten inexplicably: "I don't look like a pervert! You, why did you hit me!"

You Shaojing stepped back a few steps with a blushing expression and stood far away and asked him, "Do you have any way to catch that devil?"

Zhong Xuekui said proudly, "There is no need to ask why such a little devil is in my words. I came to catch ghosts. What is one or two evil spirits?"

"You just said that you want to catch the ghost and let me dispose of it. Now you go and catch it, and I'm going to smash it into ten thousand pieces..." You Shaojing clenched her fists and a creepy smile appeared on her face. This smile appeared on her crying face, which made Zhong Xuekui want to shrink back. The impulse to go inside the wall.

"I, I can't help you now... I, can't I move?" Zhong Xuekui said carefully, "And don't think that your father will be fine if you catch that evil spirit. He, he will still be sentenced in Yangjian, so, so..." Under the gaze of You Shaojing's eyes, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he finally couldn't hear it.

"You mean you can't catch that devil?"

"Of course, a devil is not a problem if I move freely, but now I'm not..."

"Well, what about my father? Didn't you claim to walk for heaven and eliminate harm for the people? Now you watch the evil spirits harm my father! How dare you call Zhong Xuekui? How can Zhong Kui be like you!"

This sentence gave Zhong Xuekui great excitement. He stared: "Okay, I will prove to you that I live up to the name of Zhong Xuekui! But you have to do me a favor."

"You said!" As long as you can save your father, you are willing to do anything.

"If you help me find the whereabouts of the devil, I will naturally have a way to help you clean it up!"

"Isn't it attached to my father?"

"How can it still be in prison with your father now? It must have slipped away a long time ago - if it has been attached to it, your father may have begun to be assimilated by it and start to go crazy now... Anyway, if you help me find it, I will help you find a way to clean it up, otherwise I can't do it - my situation You should know."

You Shaojing stopped talking and began to think quietly. Zhong Xuekui didn't disturb her and waited quietly. Sure enough, it didn't take long for You Shaojing to shake her head: "Say, what do you want me to do?"

"Go and wash your face first."

"What? Is this useful?

"You look like a big cat."

"...Why didn't you say it earlier!"

Zhong Xuekui can't calculate who the evil spirit will be attached to after leaving You Shaojing's father, so it is suggested that You Shaojing get in close contact with someone who has moral problems before his father is in prison. It is better to be her father's accomplice, which is more likely. The problem is that You Shaojing has always been ignorant of the reason for her father's arrest. At this time, she can't say anything to Zhong Xuekui, but even her own heart is confused. She doesn't know that her father usually has more contact with those people. After thinking about it for a long time, she decided to ask adults.

Since my father's accident, my uncle and aunt, who had been running home for three days, have disappeared, and my biological mother has no longer asked about her father since her divorce. You Shaojing calculated for a long time and found that the only person she could ask seemed to be her stepmother.

You Shaojing's stepmother is more than ten years younger than her father. She is a fashionable and beautiful woman. In the seven or eight years since she married You Shaojing's father, her relationship with You Shaojing has been flat and maintained a good distance from the river. Now You Shaojing has a vague feeling when she thinks of her. It seems that she doesn't want to look like her stepmother in a short time after her father's accident.

"Well, let's ask her." You Shaojing sighed and said to herself. Although she doesn't really want to contact her, she should always know the reason for her father's arrest.

You Shaojing took out her mobile phone and dialed a familiar number. After the beautiful color bell, a bright male voice came: "Shaojing, are you all right? Why don't you answer my phone these days? Where do you live now? Did you move to your biological mother with my cousin? Do you need me to see you?"

"Mo Xiao." Hearing the other party's kind voice, You Shaojing's nose was sore, and she said with a groured throat, "I'm fine. Now I'm in my grandfather's old house. I've been busy moving these days and haven't turned on my mobile phone.

Mo Xiao on the other side of the phone was silent for a moment and asked solemnly, "Is it my cousin who won't let you live with her? I'll talk to her about what time it is!"

"No, Mo Xiao, I don't want to live with her. I'm fine now. I live quietly alone.

Mo Xiao smiled and said, "You still have an old temper. What do you lack when living alone? What can I do for you? If you need me, just say it. I know that whether your biological mother or my cousin is an unreliable person.

You Shaojing sobbed. This sentence should have been said to her by her by her relatives, but it was not until now that she heard it from Mo Xiao, a non-relicted population. She didn't know what it was like in her heart. She covered her mouth and choked, and tears flowed down her cheeks. Mo Xiao on the other side of the phone was also silent. It was not until You Shaojing calmed down a little that he heard him ask, "Are you looking for me?" Just say whatever you want.

"Do you know where your cousin lives now? I want to find her."

There was a silence on the phone...
