Taboos in the Underworld: Starting from being paid a lot of money to beg for a child

I quickly confirmed the address with Officer Yang.

This is indeed the response I got.

I say:

"I'm here now and I won't leave. I'm just waiting for you to come over. How many of you are here?"

Officer Yang said excitedly:

"Okay, you wait, we will arrive in a while, there are only four of us, and Wen Jing is here too."

I hummed and hung up the phone.

As long as the senior sister comes, it will be even harder for me to deal with the underworld-devouring ghost inside.

The person behind it has not yet shown up.

I wonder if the Hades Eater who wants to kill it will show up this time.

Officer Yang only brought a few people with him, so he obviously had some considerations.

He didn't want this matter to cause a fuss.

As a criminal police officer, he also has the responsibility not to cause panic in society. It is not good to bring too many people.

"What's going on upstairs?"

After a minute of silence, Xiaoqiu asked.

"Well... there are some resentful souls up there, and there is a very powerful evil ghost. You can't control this, and I can't control it either."

I whispered.

Xiaoqiu said doubtfully:

"What resentful spirit or evil ghost? Why can't I understand? Aren't all ghosts the same? Is it caused by you Taoists?"

"It is indeed the Taoist family who is responsible, but this Taoist family is a bit different, and I am trying to find a way to find him out."

I said, looking up at the iron egg next to me.

It was actually made by Master Huang, an alternative Taoist.

If I hadn't appeared, it would probably never have been more than a tool to be exploited.

"Brother, the Death Eater upstairs gives me a very strange feeling..."

Tiedan said suddenly.

Tiedan was rarely so serious when he said this, which gave me a bad premonition:

"What's wrong? Does it give you too strong a feeling? Are you afraid that you can't beat it?"

Tiedan shook his head and said:

"No, if you and Sister Wenjing were here, I would be absolutely sure to kill it. I just have a very strange feeling that I can't explain clearly."

Tiedan scratched his bald head with his hand, looking very distressed.

I looked at the iron egg and couldn't figure out what it was worried about.

I looked at Xiaoqiu again and said:

"How about I send you out first? You won't be able to get involved in what happens later, and there might be some danger."

Xiaoqiu shook her head and said:

"I won't leave. I discovered this place. I should take responsibility for whatever happens. I can't be a deserter."

Of course she also believes in cause and effect as she has yin and yang eyes, but this kind of cause and effect has little to do with her, and she can avoid it without any scruples.

But she didn't. She is a girl with a lot of personality, and of course she will have her own persistence.

I didn't try to persuade her anymore. Just when I wanted to ask about Yin Yang Eyes, Tiedan suddenly said:

"Brother, someone is here." I stood up quickly, looked up and looked out of the lobby.

Five or six figures are approaching here, and the light is dim, making it difficult to see clearly.

I looked carefully and there were five people.

The other one was a phantom, lame on one leg, and looked like the fanged demon from before.

I was shocked, this fanged evil spirit came with them.

Then its owner must be among these five people. If that's the case, we have to get out of here.

"This group of people is coming for us. Let's hide first and wait for Officer Yang and others to arrive."

After I finished speaking, I quickly walked towards the stairwell. Although this house was an unfinished building, the load-bearing wall on the first floor had sealed off the hall, so except for the exit of the door, we could only run upstairs.

Xiaoqiu and Tiedan followed me closely. Tiedan said:

"Brother, I saw that fanged ghost again. It has not been strengthened. I will definitely be able to kill it this time."

I said as I walked:

"I know, but the Taoist family may be here too. There are more of them than us. Let's stay out of the way first and wait until Officer Yang and the others arrive."

The moment I walked into the stairwell, I realized why they knew we were in.

Because there is a surveillance camera with a faint red light above the stairs on the first floor.

Running all the way up the stairs, in addition to the camera on the first floor, there is another one on the third floor, and there is no camera further up.

I breathed a sigh of relief and went up to the fifth floor in one breath.

When I was on the third floor, I took a look inside.

Those resentful souls are still repeating those actions, but the number of resentful souls is smaller.

Xiaoqiu suggested:

"Let's find a floor to hide in first. There are so many floors in this building, and it will take them a while to find it."

I hummed and said:

"Go up a few more floors so you won't be found quickly."

There are only a few large load-bearing pillars on each floor of this unfinished building. It is very easy to find them. You just need to walk in and see if there is anyone behind those pillars.

But after walking a few steps, I discovered it.

This unfinished building has been here for too long, and the corridors are filled with a thick layer of dust.

Every step we take leaves a very obvious footprint, and if they follow the footsteps, they can easily catch up with us.

I discovered this, and so did Xiaoqiu. She quickly said:

"It's over. The footprints are too obvious. The people they are chasing can easily spot us."

When I got to the sixth floor, I looked at the iron eggs floating in the air. Instead of continuing to run up, I turned around and entered the sixth floor.

If footprints can betray our hiding place, they can also confuse them.

After entering the sixth floor, I took off my shoes and said:

"Xiaoqiu, take off your shoes too and give them to Tiedan. Tiedan, you can take our shoes and continue walking up to the top floor, and then float down to find us."

Xiaoqiu immediately understood what I meant, untied the shoelaces and took off the shoes.

I walked to the inside and swept a handful of ashes, and covered the footprints entering the sixth floor with ashes.

Tiedan was wearing Xiaoqiu's shoes, holding my shoes in both hands, and continued to climb on all fours, like a playful child.

Xiaoqiu and I walked back all the way with bare feet, covering up the footprints at the door with the ashes in our hands.

He came to hide behind the pillar closest to the doorway.

Those load-bearing pillars are so big that as long as they don't come in, they can hide two people.

After hiding for less than a minute, Xiaoqiu suddenly yelled. I looked at her in confusion and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiaoqiu covered her mouth with one hand and pointed at me with one hand and asked softly:

"why you?"

I looked at him doubtfully, then touched my face, and understood instantly.

The iron egg is beyond my reach, and its ability to change my appearance has expired.

So I went back to my old self.

"Okay, don't be afraid, it's me. Tiedan used Yin Qi to help me change my appearance before. The reason why you thought I was a ghost before was because you saw the Yin Qi on my body. In fact, this That’s the real me.”

I said in a low voice while listening to the noise coming from the corridor. What puzzled me was that the group of people hadn't come up yet.

After I finished speaking, Xiaoqiu did not wake up from the shock.

She covered her mouth with both hands, fearing to make any loud noise and give away our position.

After more than a minute, she put down her hand covering her mouth and said:

"Finally seeing you again."

"What's wrong? Have you been looking for me?"

This makes me very confused.

We only met once, and that time, if she hadn't been burning paper money to ghosts, I would have been deeply impressed.

I can't even necessarily remember what she looked like.

Xiaoqiu chuckled and said:

"Yes, I have always wanted to meet you again, but I didn't deliberately look for you, because after leaving the park that night, I had a dream about you..."

Just when I was about to ask what the dream was, an iron egg floated in from the window opening outside.

He dropped two pairs of shoes beside us and said:

"Brother, please rest assured. If that ugly monster reaches this level, he can easily feel your position. I will give you some yin energy and neutralize the yang energy in your body, so that it will not be so easy to find. .”

I nodded and said to Xiaoqiu: "Relax and listen to Tiedan."

Xiaoqiu nodded and said, "Okay, come."

Tiedan stood in front of us, raised his hands and waved at us a few times, and a not strong wind blew over.

This cold wind brought with it a sense of comfort, as if entering an air-conditioned room on a hot day. Xiao Qiu couldn't help but say:

"It's so comfortable!"

Tiedan chuckled, and its soul turned into a dark wind and got into the soul-nurturing umbrella in my backpack.

"Second Master, we can just follow the footprints and search. There is no need to search layer by layer..."

The voice of a person speaking came from the doorway. They should have almost reached this floor.

I sneered in my heart:

"A bunch of idiots, they found out so late that they could follow the footprints. If they had been a little later, we would probably have been discovered."
