With the plummeting SAN value, I can only work hard to watch the drama

Chapter 168
This day is an extremely ordinary day for many people. Waking up, going to work, eating, leaving get off work, and going to bed are no different from usual.

But for the child servants who came to the Rose Garden to clean up, it was definitely an extremely thrilling day.

From trepidation, to feeling a little more at ease, then frightened again, and finally when the team leader from the Bureau of Strange Affairs told me that as long as I found the "thing" hidden in the garden, I would be able to sit back and relax from now on, and then I became full of expectations.

When being "inspected" by a group of investigators, although the servants were surprised and a little apprehensive about just taking a look in the mirror, they did not question it.

Isn't it just looking in the mirror, who hasn't seen it before?

After this strange "inspection", the Tong family headed by Huang Wu thought that they should be able to find that "thing" now.

Unexpectedly, the team leader surnamed Yang on the steps did not say a word, but the younger investigator asked, "Have you tried it yourself?"

Even if Huang Wu's mind is not spinning fast, he understands that these words must not be addressed to them, but to the group of investigators.

Is "that thing" really attached to the group of "professionals"?
Such a thought flashed through Huang Wu's mind at that time.

Indeed, Yang Ye told them that anyone who appeared in this garden might be attached by "that thing".

For this, Huang Wu just went in his left ear and out his right ear.

It's okay to deceive those little-knowledgeable servants, but it's not so good to deceive him, the driver who has worked in the Tong family for many years.

As a driver, because he follows the "leader" all the year round, which words are true, which words are comforting, and which words are just casual words, he must be very clear.

For example, what Yang Ye said was obviously to comfort the servants.

Taking a step back, even if it is true that "that thing" will choose people who have appeared in the garden as its attachment targets, as Yang Ye said, it will only choose ordinary people like them, not investigators who specialize in dealing with monsters .

This is the reason for choosing soft persimmons.

Therefore, after guessing what Shen Xiu meant, Huang Wu was surprised, and then secretly shifted his gaze to the short-haired female investigator who examined him.

Then, the short-haired woman walked up the steps holding the simple round mirror very bluntly.

It was too far away, Huang Wu couldn't hear what the four people on the steps said, but he could see that the short-haired woman seemed to be planning to test the other three.

According to what the team leader surnamed Yang said, "that thing" must be on someone's body, and other people can be ruled out after testing, so one of the remaining three people must be "lucky".

Of the three people on the steps, one is the investigator leader, and the other two are young investigators.

Huang Wu speculated that according to the law of "big fish eat small fish, and small fish eat dried shrimps", "that thing" was probably hidden in that young girl.

After all, the team leader must be better than ordinary investigators, and male investigators must be better than female investigators.

And the "fact" seems to be just as Huang Wu expected.

After testing, Team Leader Yang and the male investigator showed no abnormality, but the girl who "actively" accepted the test made the expressions of the other three on the steps change.

Huang Wu clearly saw that the moment the girl looked at the mirror, the mirror surface became extremely scarlet, so shockingly red, as if what the mirror reflected was not a person, but a sea of ​​blood.

With just one glance, Huang Wu was frightened into a cold sweat. He quickly lowered his head and looked away.

But soon, he looked up again.

This time, what he saw was not the mirror, but the reactions of the other three.

The team leader Yang and the short-haired female investigator showed a guarded look, while the young male investigator who came with the girl was explaining something.

Huang Wu thought to himself:

"Could it be that the young man wants to defend the girl with pity for her beauty? But the mirror has become like that. This is an iron-clad fact. How can there be room for maneuver?"

In Jingdu, the Bureau of Strange Affairs has never been a mysterious organization, and it often appears in the public eye.

The citizens of Jingdu also have a certain understanding of the working style of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs.

In the face of those "lunatics" who believe in evil gods, the Bureau of Strange Affairs has never softened their hearts.

Once upon a time, it was also rumored that some investigators were corrupted by those "lunatics" and became traitors.

But soon the Bureau of Foreign Affairs found out and locked him in the legendary abyss.

Now, although the young girl is also an investigator, after being possessed by "that thing", it is not equivalent to being "corrupted". This situation naturally requires "extermination of relatives".

However, just when Huang Wu thought that a fight was about to start on the steps and retreated secretly, the young male investigator did not know what to say, and actually persuaded the other two.

The already tense atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

This made Huang Wu look stupid.

What does this mean, "that thing" is not dealt with?
It's about his own life, Huang Wu didn't dare to be sloppy, and asked cautiously:

"Leader Yang, have you found 'that thing'?"

Huang Wu didn't have the guts to directly question why Yang Ye didn't "kill relatives with righteousness", so he had to play a clever trick to save the country.

Yang Ye followed the sound and looked at Huang Wu, who was calm on the surface but actually anxious, nodded:
"'That thing' has been dealt with, and now there are other problems that need to be solved."

Huang Wu didn't know what the "other issues" were, but he was extremely skeptical to say that "that thing" had been dealt with.

Isn't the possessed girl still standing there?

Even if you don't need to pry your head open and take out "that thing", you still have to deal with it.

Could it be that "that thing" can be dealt with with just a few words from the male investigator?
Huang Wu subconsciously looked at Alia who was standing behind Shen Xiu.

Sensing the surprise in Huang Wu's eyes, Shen Xiu curled her lips, but didn't say anything, just looked left and right, and whispered a few words to Aliya behind her from time to time.

Among so many servants, only Huang Wu discovered the problem. Yang Ye was a little surprised, hesitated for a while, and asked the short-haired woman and other investigators to bring the rest of the servants to the castle, leaving only Huang Wu behind.

Since he has doubts, let him resolve them. Besides, anyway, "other issues" still need the cooperation of the Tong family, so let's drop by.

Only he was left behind, Huang Wuxin was thumping non-stop, secretly regretting.

Since the man surnamed Yang had already been "convinced" by the male investigator, why couldn't he hold back and question him?

Is it not obvious that you are not happy?

Huang Wu was anxiously thinking about the reason why Yang Ye left him, while secretly observing Shen Xiu's expression.

He broke the "dirty deal" of the other party by himself, so he wanted to kill people to silence him, right?

At this moment, Huang Wu noticed Yang Ye beckoning to him, signaling to go over.

Even though he was reluctant, Huang Wu still ran away and walked over tremblingly.

"Didn't I tell you that 'that thing' has been solved by us, why are you so scared?"

Shen Xiu said angrily.

Huang Wu, who was taller than Shen Xiu by more than a head, bent over, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said in a trembling voice:
"I'm slow to react, and now the fear comes up"

Shen Xiu sneered, but didn't say anything more.

Yang Ye looked at Huang Wu and said:

"Don't think too much, I'm keeping you here because I have something to ask you."

How could Huang Wu dare to say no, and he didn't ask Yang Ye what he wanted to ask, but just kept nodding:
"I'll tell you everything."

Yang Ye didn't know whether to laugh or cry, after thinking about it, he decided to appease Huang Wu first, otherwise he might just be afraid of not being able to answer the next question.

"Did you see what happened in the mirror just now?" Yang Ye said suddenly.

"I didn't see it, I didn't see anything."

Huang Wu nodded instinctively, but instantly realized that this answer might make the other party kill, his face turned pale, and he shook his head again and again.

Yang Ye smiled helplessly and said:

"When you see it, you see it. It's not a secret. You're right, the 'thing' is indeed on her."

Yang Ye glanced at Alia who was obediently standing beside Shen Xiu, and continued:

"Are you thinking, since we're sure where 'that thing' is, and we didn't take care of it, and told you that it's all right, are we lying to you?"

Just as Huang Wu was about to answer "no", he heard Yang Ye's voice.

"to be frank."

No way, Huang Wu nodded:
"Yes."

Seeing that things were really as he thought, Yang Ye shook his head, looked sideways at Shen Xiu, and said:
"The thing started because of you, so it's up to you to explain it."

Shen Xiu rolled her eyes, but did not refuse. She stared at Huang Wu who was looking at her, and said concisely:
"Don't look at her young, but she is not much weaker than Deputy Director Long Zhenglong. If that thing possesses her, it is tantamount to seeking death."

Hearing this, Huang Wu was stunned, and suddenly realized.

Fortunately, he also imagined a series of "dirty deals", so it turned out that this was the case, no wonder Team Leader Yang's words made sense.

However, Huang Wu was surprised that this girl, who was younger than his daughter, was no weaker than Deputy Chief Long Zhenglong.

Although he is just an ordinary person, he has heard the name of Long Zheng, the deputy director of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs many times.

When was the commotion caused by Deputy Chief Long so small?
Either the shocking conspiracy of a certain "madman" was exposed, or the "evil god" was prevented from coming, or the "madman leader" who had been hiding for many years was captured.

Although everything was only heard but not seen, it undoubtedly proved the great strength of the Deputy Chief Long.

The girl is no weaker than Long Zheng, so isn't she also a deputy director?
Thinking of this, Huang Wu looked at Aliya even more strangely.

He couldn't tell how strong this girl was, but her personality didn't look like that of a deputy director. Instead, she was similar to those female students in school.

Still a girl student in elementary school.

Yang Ye didn't know what Huang Wu was thinking and said:

"That's what happened. You were worried that we were going to kill you and silence you. You can rest assured now, right?"

Huang Wu came back to his senses, and said embarrassingly:

"I think too much."

With that said, he took a deep breath, calmed down, and said:

"Leader Yang, if you have anything to ask me, please tell me."

Yang Ye nodded:
"First question, is the servant who found the first human skin still in Tong's house?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Huang Wu shook his head and said:

"After that happened, that person resigned."

Yang Ye was not surprised by this answer.

But for any normal person who finds a piece of human skin while cleaning, anyone will be terrified and leave a heavy shadow.

It would be abnormal if that person dared to continue working as a servant in Tong's house.

Immediately afterwards, Yang Ye asked the second question:

"Didn't the Tong family have all moved out of this garden, why did you come over to clean it?"

Speaking of this, Huang Wu was immediately furious:
"Where is it that we want to come here? It's not that the Tong family forced us to come. If we don't want to come, we will be fired. You have iron rice bowls. You don't understand how difficult it is for ordinary people like us to find a good job."

Listening to Huang Wuxu's rambling, Yang Ye's eyelids twitched, he pinched the base of his nose, and interrupted:
"Stop! Tell me, who proposed to have this garden cleaned?"

As soon as these words came out, the silent Shen Xiu stared at Huang Wu closely.

Huang Wu's nagging stopped abruptly, and he immediately said:

"Who else is it, isn't it Young Master Tong?"

After finishing speaking, he suddenly remembered that Shen Xiu seemed to have said before that he and Tong Duo were college classmates. Although it might not be true, he still looked at it subconsciously.

Seeing Shen Xiu frowned deeply, Huang Wu suddenly felt bad:

"It's really bad luck, this kid is really Tong Duo's classmate!"

Shen Xiu said in a deep voice:
"Are you sure it was Tongduo who first suggested that someone come here to clean up?"

Although he was a little afraid that Shen Xiu would get angry at himself for speaking ill of Tong Duo, Huang Wu still boldly said under the encouragement of Yang Ye's eyes:

"I'm sure, if you don't believe me, there are so many people in the house who can testify for me. After Mr. Tong asked everyone to move out of here, Mr. Tong sent people to clean the garden on the grounds that the garden could not be lived for a long time. But what's strange is that there are many people sent over each time, usually no more than ten, and this time is the most."

Hearing this, Shen Xiu's heart suddenly sank, and she hurriedly asked:
"Are the people who came here to clean up before that still alive?"

Huang Wu thought for a while and said:

"Most are still alive, and there seem to be a dozen dead."

Shen Xiu frowned and remained silent.

Yang Ye glanced at him and whispered:
"It has only been a year since the Tong family moved away from this place. Calculated by cleaning once a month, there are about 120 people who come here to clean, and one tenth of them died, which is in line with the inner demons. growth rate.”

Shen Xiu frowned even deeper, and her complexion became ugly.

Before, Yang Ye asked him to help, saying that he wanted to find the mastermind behind this incident.

Shen Xiu, who was already helping Tong Duo, naturally did not refuse.

Yang Ye explained how to find the other party.

This matter is also very simple to say, the person who planted the demon seed must be related to the person who put down the human skin, as long as you find out who put the human skin.

But because there is no monitoring, it is not sure who put down the human skin. It can only be speculated that it was done by someone inside the Tong family.

And the servant who discovered the first human skin is also a serious suspect.

That's why Yang Ye's first question was to ask if that person is still in Tong's house.

Of course, regarding that person's going or staying, Yang Ye said it from the very beginning, and it is likely to have been silenced.

And Huang Wu's answer is exactly the same, saying that he resigned, but in fact he has disappeared.

This road was blocked, and Yang Ye came up with another "shortcut"—since the demon needs human fear to grow and evolve, then who is providing nourishment for the demon after the Tong family has moved away? , whoever might be behind the scenes.

And this person's name came out of Huang Wu's mouth - the young master of the Tong family, Tong Duo!
