in the next few days.

Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing's life was very smooth, working the night shift at convenience store No. 444 was very smooth, and they didn't encounter any unclean things.

During this period, the relationship between the two of them and the soul ferryman Zhao Li also became better and better.

even.

As a female college student, Wang Xiaoya also visits convenience store No. 444 every now and then.

The days are very comfortable.

But Ye Xiao always felt that.

Right now, it's just the calm before the storm!

That night.

Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing were still eating instant noodles in the rental house.

Now the two have reached the moment when they are running out of ammunition and food.

money?
That's a penny gone.

All spent.

"Brother Ye, we really can't get through this day."

Xia Dongqing smiled wryly.

"If you see the boss tonight, you can talk about overdrafting your salary in advance."

Ye Xiao replied that he never expected that one day he would worry about daily necessities.

Xia Dongqing nodded emphatically. Although Zhao Li seemed mysterious to him and seemed difficult to deal with, he could only bite the bullet right now.

While eating instant noodles, the two also watched the local news TV station by the way.

"Currently, there are many missing persons in our city. If you have clues about these missing persons, please call our station. If the masses give us useful and valuable clues, our station will reward you from 500 to 5000 yuan."

A beautiful female reporter in a small black suit is reporting news.

At the same time, pictures appeared one after another on the TV screen.

Originally, Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing wouldn't take such a news report very seriously.

There are never many similar news.

For example, if you provide clues to criminals, you can be rewarded, and if you report violations of law and discipline, you can also be rewarded.

however.

When they saw one of the familiar photos on the TV screen, both of them stared wide and round.

Because, one of the photos is a very kind and friendly grandfather.

How could this old grandfather and the two forget it.

It was when they worked the night shift on the first day at the No. 444 convenience store, a group of mourning teams appeared at 12 o'clock in the morning.

Among them, the first two.

One person holds a spiritual tablet.

One person is holding a meditation photo.

This is the grandfather in the Mingzhao.

"Brother Ye, am I right? This old man is definitely the same person as the old man in Mingzhao, except for the wrinkles on his face and the positions of the two big moles!"

Xia Dongqing was so frightened that his face turned pale. He also saw the name of the grandfather on the TV screen - Zhang Boguo.

"It's the same person. It's just that this is very wrong. Why did those ghosts hold a funeral for Zhang Baiguo? They all wore sackcloth and mourning, crying loudly, and scattered yellow paper all over the street!"

Thinking of what he saw that night, Ye Xiao frowned, feeling that this matter was too weird and bizarre.

Xia Dongqing also nodded repeatedly.

Next.

The two of them racked their brains to think about these things.

the end.

Ye Xiao, who had experienced many storms, suddenly had a flash of light in his head, and a very bold idea popped up in his mind.

"I seem to understand."

he opened his mouth to speak.

"Understand what?"

Xia Dongqing hurriedly asked.

"The ghost is holding a funeral for Zhang Boguo, and then Zhang Boguo disappeared strangely, which is definitely a disaster. Therefore, as long as someone's spirit seat and ghost photo appear in that weird funeral procession, then this person will definitely disappear. Will definitely die!"

Ye Xiao said in a serious tone, "This is like a curse."

He said so.

Xia Dongqing also gradually understood, and her face was also pale.

"It's terrible, it's terrible..."

He muttered to himself, and he was also praying in his heart that he would never see those group of ghosts in sackcloth and filial piety again.

I thought they were a group of filial sons and daughters, but I knew they were a group of ghosts who eat people and don't spit out their bones!
"As a soul ferryman, the boss may know more about this matter."

Ye Xiao said firmly.

Xia Dongqing nodded.

Shortly after.

It was about eight o'clock in the evening.

The two of them also rushed to work at convenience store No. 444.

en route.

The bodies of the two gradually stiffened.

Because, choked up crying came from their ears again.

There were mixed cries, including men, women and children.

"Brother Ye, we are really unlucky to meet them again..."

Xia Dongqing's mouth trembled.

"Speak less, lower your head, and pretend you didn't see it."

Ye Xiao raised his brows and said, he also wondered if he was targeted by the system, otherwise such a horrible thing would happen to him again.

really.

A group of people came not far away.

These people wore sackcloth and filial piety, weeping bitterly, crying heartbreakingly, and they also scattered yellow paper all over the sky.

Of the two leaders, one is still holding a spiritual tablet, and the other is holding a ghost photo.

However, both Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing subconsciously glanced at Ming Zhao from the corner of their eyes.

This time.

Mingzhao is no longer an old man, but a mature young man.

The two young men still felt oddly familiar.

Could it be Zhang Hao, an old employee on the day shift at No. 444 convenience store.

Shortly after.

This line of ghosts gradually drifted away.

Although there were many people coming and going around, no one noticed these ghosts.

Normally, humans cannot see ghosts.

"Brother Ye, Zhang Hao... I'm afraid it's going to be over!"

Xia Dongqing's face turned pale.

"Let's go to the store and have a look."

Ye Xiao nodded and said.

The two strode into the store, and they could also see the old employee Zhang Hao still playing mobile games by himself, engrossed in playing.

"Teammates are so pitiful! I can't bear to let go of my ultimate move!"

Zhang Hao looked to be in his thirties, with dark skin, and he was swearing, scolding his teammates when he met him.

"Zhang Hao."

Ye Xiao spoke first.

"You two are here! It's almost time, I'm off work first!"

Zhang Hao looked up to see Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing, with bright smiles on his face, and he was also ready to slip away.

"and many more."

Xia Dongqing quickly stopped Zhang Hao.

"Holly, what's the matter?"

For this honest and serious new colleague Xia Dongqing, Zhang Hao also has a good sense.

"Zhang Hao, have you encountered any strange things recently?"

Xia Dongqing asked.

"No, what's so weird about it. Holly, you won't tell me that there are ghosts in this world, will you? Have you watched too many ghost movies!"

Zhang Hao looked playful.

"Wait first, wait for our boss in the store. Our boss is a soul ferryman and is very good at dealing with ghosts."

Xia Dongqing reminded her.

However, Zhang Hao didn't take his words to heart at all.

"Holly, watch less ghost movies, don't put those gods and ghosts into the real world."

Zhang Hao patted Xia Dongqing on the shoulder.

Xia Dongqing still wanted to persuade.

But Zhang Hao has already left regardless.

"Brother Ye, what should we do?"

Xia Dongqing looked anxious.

"I can't do anything about it either, I think we're both on our own."

Ye Xiao sighed, Zhang Hao, an old employee, even if he wanted to help, there was nothing he could do. He was no better than ordinary people at the moment.

"Ah! You can't protect yourself?"

Xia Dongqing was startled.

Ye Xiao took out his own safety talisman, but he could see that more than half of the ashes had appeared on the safety talisman.

The same is true for Xia Dongqing's peace talisman, most of which are covered in ashes.

"This……"

Xia Dongqing was stunned.

"I'm afraid this safety talisman won't be able to protect us for long. We'd better stay in the store and wait for the boss to come."

Ye Xiao said.

Xia Dongqing nodded silently.

Time passed by minute by minute.

The store was very quiet, there were no customers, and no ghosts appeared.

Both of them are quietly waiting for Zhao Li!

"Drip drip!"

At this moment, a car horn sounded outside the store, and the sound of the horn continued to ring, and the eardrums of the people who rang were a little uncomfortable.

Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing looked at each other, and it was very clear that they liked to honk the horn all the time, but they were actually playing some tricks, and only Zhao Li could do such things.

really.

A figure pushed open the glass sliding door of the convenience store.

Come to Zhao Li.

However, Zhao Li's face was dark, as if he was not in a good mood.

Seeing this, Xia Dongqing, who wanted to overdraft her salary in advance, deflated like a discouraged ball, and didn't dare to step forward without saying a word.

"Holly, act now, do you want us to eat dirt next?"

Ye Xiao whispered to Xia Dongqing.

Yes.

Now that the two of them are at the end of their ropes, if they don't fiddle with some money, they will really have to live on dirt.

On the spot, Xia Dongqing mustered up her courage, and ran up to Zhao Li cautiously and said in a soft voice, "Boss, Brother Ye and I are already penniless, so can I overdraw my salary in advance?" ?”

In the next second, it was Zhao Li's indifferent eyes that greeted Xia Dongqing.

"Swish!"

Stared by Zhao Li's cold eyes, Xia Dongqing felt cold sweat on his forehead, and he couldn't even stand still.

"Money! You've only been on the job for less than half a month, and you want to overdraw your salary in advance. You are very capable!"

Zhao Li's face was dark, showing a tough attitude, "It's okay to talk about other things, but absolutely not about money."

Hearing this, Xia Dongqing's face froze, she didn't expect her boss to be a miser!

But he still bite the bullet and said, "Boss, we are really out of money. As the saying goes: it’s not about helping the poor. With a monthly salary of 3000, just overdraft 2000 in advance!"

Zhao Li still shook his head.

"Or, 1500!"

Xia Dongqing took another step back.

Zhao Li still shook his head.

"1000 yuan is fine!"

Xia Dongqing took another step back, and 1000 yuan was enough to solve their immediate needs.

"Holly, have you gotten into money's eyes, kid? You want money so much, don't you! Okay, I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!"

Zhao Li said angrily, turned around and left, and went to his black jeep to get money.

Such a scene made Xia Dongqing feel very bad.

How did he get into the eyes of money!

He just doesn't want to eat dirt!Don't want to drink Mistral!

In a blink of an eye.

Zhao Li came, holding a delicate white hand-held money box in his left hand.

"Boss, I just want a little salary, so don't make such a fuss!"

Xia Dongqing said with an unnatural expression.

Ye Xiao was stunned, he seemed to understand something.

The cash box in this hand is indeed banknotes, but not human banknotes!
"Bang!"

Without further ado, Zhao Li opened the hand-held cash box.

all of a sudden.

Stacks of banknotes came into the sight of Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing.

These banknotes are stacks of ghost coins, and each of the ghost coins is printed with the words Tiandi Bank, 100 billion and so on.

"Holly, I want money, right? I'll give you everything!"

Zhao Li said with a serious expression.

After a while, Xia Dongqing said angrily, "Boss, this banknote is not usable in the world."

"I don't care about that. If you want money, I'll give it to you. There's nothing wrong with that!"

Zhao Li shrugged and said.

The corner of Xia Dongqing's mouth twitched several times, unexpectedly, Zhao Li would actually act like a rascal.

There was a lot of talking and talking, and a lot of complaints.

Zhao Li was finally willing to pay.

But, but only willing to give out 300 yuan!
It's really a penny-pinching iron cock!
Xia Dongqing complained a lot in her heart, but the 300 yuan can still be spent as long as she eats instant noodles. After all, she will be able to get paid in less than half a month.

Regarding the matter of salary, Xia Dongqing and Ye Xiao stopped talking too much, but talked about those ghosts in sackcloth and filial piety, as well as spirit positions and ghost photos!
When mentioning this matter, Zhao Li withdrew his playful smile and replaced it with an unprecedented solemnity.

"This matter is a headache for me! Because I have also tracked down those ghosts. After one wave was wiped out, another wave appeared. If I, the soul ferryman, hadn't worked hard to deal with those ghosts, I'm afraid, the ghosts under my jurisdiction There will be more and more people missing in this part of the world."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Li put on a look of sighing.

"Boss, have you found any useful clues?"

Ye Xiao asked, he was very concerned about this matter.

Xia Dongqing pricked up her ears and waited quietly.

"Clues? Of course there are, and I even identified a real murderer behind the scenes."

Zhao Li said.

"Who is the real culprit behind the scenes?"

Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing asked in unison.

"The dragon had nine sons, and the fifth son, Taotie, was vicious and greedy. Most of the missing people were eaten by him. But there is one thing that I am very puzzled about. Taotie used to eat people, but since the human body is poisonous, it should be Eat souls. Therefore, those people should not have disappeared."

"This also gave me a bolder guess: Taotie may cooperate with Li Gui. Li Gui eats people, and Taotie eats people's souls."

Zhao Li spoke eloquently, without hiding anything.

Accompanied by the utterance of his words.

Ye Xiao and Xia Dongqing looked at each other with wonderful expressions.

Especially Xia Dongqing's heart was filled with turbulent waves.

The dragon gave birth to nine sons, each of which is different.

The fifth son is Taotie.

Eat people, eat souls.

and many more.

These are all fictional things about gods, gods and ghosts.

But now it seems.

These things seem to be real.

"Gollum!"

Xia Dongqing swallowed heavily a mouthful of saliva on her throat.

"Boss, there really is a Taotie, have you seen it?"

He couldn't help asking.

Ye Xiao rolled his eyes a few times, logically speaking, this Taotie, the fifth son of the dragon, that is, the fifth son, should not appear now!
But why has the fifth son already started eating souls?
And who is the ghost who is cooperating with the fifth son?
One by one doubtful questions hovered in Ye Xiao's mind, making him eager to know the truth, and he also realized that the crisis was gradually approaching.

"I've seen it, of course I've seen it. This Taotie is known as the fifth son. When I see him, I must be respectful. After all, I am just a ghost messenger, and he is the son of the dragon!"

Zhao Li nodded, and there was a bit of fear in his eyes.

Xia Dongqing froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

After a long time, Ye Xiaocai said, "Boss, Zhang Hao, an employee in our store, is being targeted by those ghosts, so..."

"It's late, he's probably missing."

Zhao Li rubbed the center of his brows, feeling a particularly headache, about this group of ghosts in sackcloth and filial piety, and the matter of the ghost position, he has not mentioned to Hades yet.

I thought he could solve it, but who knows, the matter got worse and worse.

I'm afraid, I really told Pluto, the wrath of Pluto greeted him!

Thinking about it, Zhao Li couldn't help shivering.

While the three of them were talking, they suddenly noticed that there was an extra figure beside them.

This person is short in stature, with ordinary features, single eyelids, and small eyes. It is not too much to say that this appearance is ugly.

He is also wearing a black suit, which at first glance makes people feel a little funny.

Seeing the appearance of the visitor, Zhao Li's pupils constricted, and he couldn't help blurting out, "Fifth Young Master!"

Xia Dongqing was shocked.

Is this person the Fifth Young Master?

Ye Xiao was also surprised.

The Fifth Young Master appeared here, isn't it a bit early for his appearance?

"Officer Zhao, biting the back of your tongue is not good, don't you want your tongue?"

The fifth son in a black suit said with a smile on his face.

In the eyes of Zhao officials, Fifth Young Master is just a smiling tiger.
