The boss comes down the mountain, the shady second master is addicted to flirting

The two turned around and got into the car.

Han Yanlin drove around in a circle and reached the other end of the alley.

Yang An opened the trunk and got in, recounting his experience from beginning to end.

Tang Qingnian took out a small green porcelain bottle from the bag he carried with him and poured a pill from it to Yang An: "Hanhua."

Yang An didn't know what it was for, but he had 100% trust in Tang Qingnian and put it directly into his mouth. After a short time, the mark on his body by the water ghost disappeared, and he felt refreshed.

after that.

Tang Qingnian was going to go to the alley to find out.

Her original plan was to let Yang An lure the evil ghost out and then just take it away. But it turned out that things were not as simple as she thought, and she had to go and see for herself.

Han Yanlin and Yang An both wanted to follow.

They both have the ability to protect themselves.

Tang Qingnian took them with him.

The three of them walked in from this end of the alley.

He also passed through an invisible barrier.

The ghosts who had lost just now were overjoyed. They were about to decide the winner and pick the mark when they saw Yang An. Everyone looked at each other, realizing something was wrong, and ran around, obviously trying to hide themselves.

Tang Qingnian threw a soul-revealing talisman into the air: "Stop hiding, everyone has seen it."

The golden light emitted by the soul manifesting talisman completely covered the entire space. Several ghosts had nowhere to hide and immediately showed their most terrifying appearance.

The face is ferocious.

Solidarity.

They all rushed towards the three of them.

Tang Qingnian grabbed the male ghost running at the front and threw it to the ground so hard that the ghost's soul was half transparent in an instant.

As for the second person who rushed over, Heidou at Tang Qingnian's feet jumped up and bit his butt. He screamed "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" while hopping and waving his feet in various ways, trying to shake Heidou away.

Several other ghosts were so frightened that they turned around and ran in the opposite direction.

A bunch of cowards!

Both Han Yanlin and Yang An had seen Tang Qingnian fighting ghosts, holding a lightning-strike wooden sword, spinning and jumping, his body was agile, and the sword's edge was unfavorable wherever it passed. But this was the first time they saw Tang Qingnian fighting a ghost with his bare hands. He grabbed him and threw him to the ground. It was too cruel and terrifying! After so many years of catching ghosts and exorcising evil spirits, they have never seen anyone fight ghosts with bare hands, using talismans and magic weapons. Only Tang Qingnian is so hard-core, and their three views have been subverted again!

Tang Qingnian waved: "Heidou is back."

Heidou let go of the ghost's ass and went straight back to Tang Qingnian.

The male ghost was squealing in pain, and a large piece of the buttocks of the ghost body was missing, and it was smelling black. He never dreamed that he would become a ghost after death and would be bitten by a dog!

Tang Qingnian had long noticed that these ghosts seemed unable to get out of the enchanted space. Everything that just happened further confirmed this. Everyone was so scared that they ran around, but no one could escape the barrier.

She said loudly: "Be honest and stand for me according to your size. I'll give you a minute."

The words fell.

Several ghosts quickly formed a horizontal line.

Stand in order of height.

Thinking of Tang Qingnian and Heidou's brutal methods just now.

They were all trembling with fear.

Tang Qingnian glanced at them from left to right, and finally fixed his gaze on the water ghost who just marked Yang An: "Tell me, what do you want to do by leaving a mark on him?"

The water ghost shrank his neck: "Master... Master, please forgive me, we are all forced. Only by finding a substitute can someone come to pick him up and reincarnate. The mark is to go out to find him during the day and find a way to make him... die." .”

Tang Qingnian frowned: "You can't leave from here at night?"

The water ghost nodded: "Well, I can only leave for a while during the day and noon."

Tang Qingnian asked again: "Who told you that you need to find a substitute to reincarnate?"

"Everyone knows." The water ghost replied: "I am the owner of a residential complex in the bustling area, and I usually like to take baths. You see me like this, I drowned in my own bathtub. After I die, there will be no ulterior motives. Come to pick you up, but you can't get out of this alley. There are many old ghosts who find substitutes, and some evil spirits come to pick you up and reincarnate. If you can't find a substitute, you can only be trapped here forever and become a wandering ghost. . I drowned in the bathtub because I was used as a substitute by a ghost. One night I passed through here and was marked by the ghost who was looking for a substitute. The next day was Saturday, I had a day off, and I didn’t get up until almost ten o’clock. After eating, I wanted to take a bath, but then I got possessed by a ghost and drowned.”

Tang Qingnian looked at his face carefully.

It was indeed the one who drowned in the bathtub at home.

His name is Zhao Guangyi.

Forty-two years old.

Tang Qingnian has read his detailed information.

In total, it has been almost two months since he died, but he was not able to reincarnate.

Looking for a substitute?

Strange.

Although there are many folk theories about ghosts looking for substitutes, generally speaking, no matter how you die, there will be ghosts to pick you up. Even the heinous people are led down first to accept the punishment of the eighteen levels of hell. Even if he committed a heinous crime, he could not be allowed to wander around the world after death. How come after he dies, he has to find a substitute before a ghost messenger comes to pick him up?

If it weren't for the underworld and ghosts dereliction of duty.

That can only mean there is a problem here.

Tang Qingnian looked at the other ghosts: "You don't have any ghost messengers to pick you up."

Several brats nodded.

Han Yanlin intervened at the right time: "The deceased who jumped from the building at noon during the day was also said to be possessed by ghosts. I brought people here to investigate before, and I guess there were no breathing charms attached to them. These little ghosts noticed the spiritual power on our bodies, and they didn't We didn't find them until we opened the barrier. The previous deceased were all taken over by the criminal police and would not pay attention to ghosts. The old lady who jumped to death was taken away by us, and the deceased during the day was also taken away by us.

"I guess that if these two murder cases are still taken over by the criminal police, then they will only take away the body of the deceased. The ghost will be imprisoned in the barrier. Both times we came here were shortly after the incident, and the deceased The ghosts stay in place. But we haven't seen them every time we come. This shows that the victims will not be imprisoned in the barrier immediately after death, but have to wait until a specific time. They are imprisoned behind the barrier, a Pass one on and keep looking for substitutes. Once they take someone's life, they will turn into evil spirits. It seems like someone must have done it on purpose."

Tang Qingnian nodded.

Agreed with Han Yanlin's guess.

Then he turned to a few ghosts and asked: "I have read your information, and it turns out that you all died around 12 noon. There were no ghosts to pick you up after you died, so when did you enter here?"

"Almost eight o'clock in the evening."

"I'm also at eight o'clock in the evening."

"Me too."

"..."

They were all imprisoned in the barrier at eight o'clock in the evening.

Tang Qingnian's eyes darkened. She had carefully inspected this alley during the day and found it to be a natural gathering place. But other than that, there's nothing special about it. It seems that there may be a little difference between day and night here.
