endless tricks

Yang Yuanyi: "Where is the anecdote numbered 001?" He turned over and over again but didn't see the last or should be said to be the first anecdote, and the catalog number directly omitted 001.

Wei Yanqing: "Title page."

Yang Yuan stopped turning the page, and then turned forward. On the title page, there was the sentence 'horror is like a shadow'.He raised his eyes and pointed at this sentence: "Shadow?"

"Wrong. It's not a shadow, it's terror." Wei Yanqing took the City Strange Record from his hand and put it back in place, then said to Yang Yuanyi: "It's time to go out. If you're interested, come and read it next time. But The files and books in the study cannot be taken out."

Yang Yuanyi followed behind him, and when he turned around the bookshelf, he suddenly turned his head to look at the desk in front of him, and the anecdote hidden in a pile of files behind the desk.A scene suddenly appeared in my mind: the young man bent over his desk to record every strange news he encountered, numbering, arranging, sorting and recording, with sandalwood burning and green smoke curling up.

The face can't be seen clearly, but the picture feels unexpectedly familiar, as if it was dreamed a long time ago.Yang Yuanyi didn't think deeply about it, because this inexplicably familiar feeling was not unfamiliar, and he would suddenly feel familiar when he saw something in a strange place several times.I was surprised at first, but later I found out that many people have had this experience, and I became accustomed to it.

"Terror is also one of the strange stories?"

Wei Yanqing was closing the door of the study, when he heard the words, he replied: "Yes." After locking the door, he took a bunch of keys to Yang Yuanyi: "If you want to investigate the files, you can come in by yourself, here are the keys, keep them. After a pause, he added: "Newcomer benefits."

Yang Yuanyi took the key hesitantly: "Is there a time limit?"

Wei Yanqing rubbed her hands behind her back subconsciously, and took off the black mask on her face with her left hand, revealing a pale face.The first impression he gives people is that of rich black and extreme white, with exquisite eyebrows but ordinary face.Black and white are pure and strong, and it is easy for people to associate negative words such as abyss and darkness for no reason.

"For now."

Yang Yuanyi: "??" Temporarily?The timeliness of the benefits for newcomers is still "temporarily available"?

Wei Yanqing folded her arms and leaned against the wall. She was tall, thin and slender, and looked directly at Yang Yuanyi with downcast eyes.The lights were dimmed a bit, which made the black and white two tones more harmonious, and the atmosphere was unexpectedly a bit charming.He said: "The statute of limitations for the benefits for newcomers is over, and there are benefits for members, benefits for the neighbors of the president—" benefits for the boyfriend of the president, benefits for the interim wife of the president, benefits for the president's partner...

After thinking about it, Wei Yanqing swallowed what he was going to say later, and stuffed it back into his heart along the pipe.

As soon as Yang Yuan looked at Wei Yanqing, he gradually felt uncomfortable, so he looked away.He squeezed the key in his hand and said, "Thank you."

Wei Yanqing waved his hand: "Go back, you will have nightmares if you stay too long. Do you still wear the silver bracelet I gave you last time?"

Yang Yuan turned around and was stopped again, turned around and stretched out his hand, the silver bracelet on his wrist gleamed with a dull silver light.

Wei Yanqing asked him to take it off after looking at it, and went to the bedroom to take out an older style silver ring inlaid with gemstones.Putting the original silver bracelet on the table casually, and then putting the ring on Yang Yuanyi's left index finger, he glanced at his left ring finger, with regret flashing in his eyes.

"Okay, silverware can prevent nightmares from coming."

Yang Yuanyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and asked curiously: "Why do you have nightmares when you stay too long? Both Mr. Sun and Wang Xiaohong said that if you see the president, you will have nightmares. Why?"

Wei Yanqing looked up at him, suddenly grabbed his shoulders and pushed him to the door, leaned over and squeezed Yang Yuanyi's earlobe, and quickly let go.He said softly with a smile, "Now, don't be curious about me." When you get used to it, you'll know it all.

The door closed in front of him, and Yang Yuanyi spread out the five fingers of his left hand to observe the huge gemstone ring on his index finger.Muttering to himself: "Silverware?"

At night, Yang Yuanyi deliberately took off the silverware and put it on the bedside to sleep, and he really fell asleep.In the dream, it was still a deep and dark courtyard, and the man in white changed into black.He was dressed in black and had black hair, but his complexion was so radiant and morbid.Turning around to look at his face, it was indeed the face of a hair dryer pig.

In the dream, he was very close to the pig-faced man with a hair dryer, chatted with him, and even jumped into a small mud pit to play with him.

When he woke up from the nightmare in the middle of the night, Yang Yuan had a slightly grim face, and compromisingly pulled out the silverware at the head of the bed and put it on his index finger to go back to sleep.In the second half of the night, I finally had no dreams until dawn, but when I woke up, I was still dazed for a long time, and I had to lament the nightmare and the power of the nightmare when I saw Wei Yanqing.

Such terrible nightmares can destroy a person's normal spirit and aesthetics.

Yang Yuan went downstairs and met other members, and found that they were all sitting together drinking strong tea in a state of exhaustion.Seeing him, Elder Sun beckoned him to go over, and offered a cup of strong tea with his own hands: "Refresh."

Yang Yuan took two sips, and the bitter taste hit his forehead.He suddenly asked, "Are you also having nightmares?"

Elder Sun: "Also?" He pointed to the jeweled silver ring on Yang Yuanyi's left index finger: "Did you take off the ring when you were sleeping?"

Yang Yuan nodded: "So you all know." Except for him, everyone in the club knows that if you get along with the president for too long, you will have nightmares, but silverware can resist nightmares. "Why don't you prepare silverware?"

"There are not so many silverware in the club, and the silverware used before was polluted and sent to be cleaned, and it was too late to replace." Wang Xiaohong yawned and explained lazily: "Uncle Sun told you before, don't go there if you have nothing to do." The third and fourth floors."

Yang Yuanyi: "Why?"

Wang Xiaohong: "The third floor is where the president lives, and the fourth floor is where strange stories are stored. The two terrors restrain each other and are barely tied. We ordinary people will be cannon fodder if we come forward, but the president has a lot of silverware in his possession. , you can rest assured and use it at ease.”

Yang Yuan was silent for a moment, drank the strong tea, and poured another cup for Mr. Sun.Ask directly: "Is the president also a rumor?"

Old Sun poured out the tea leaves in the teapot and put in new tea leaves. "We are all."

"..." After pouring nearly a pot of strong tea, Yang Yuan managed to calm down and said calmly, "I'm not."

The creases on Elder Sun's face that looked like old bark suddenly wrinkled tightly: "What are you not?"

Yang Yuanyi: "I'm not a stranger."

Hearing this, the four people in front of him glared at Yang Yuanyi, and after a while, the other three looked at Elder Sun.Xia Lanlan: "Uncle Sun, the reasoning agency doesn't recruit normal humans. Are you negligent, or is he lying?"

Elder Sun didn't show a shocked expression, he still had the attitude of the old god.He said to Yang Yuanyi: "At present, you are indeed a normal human being. But it doesn't matter, our reasoning agency needs to be in line with human society even now."

Yang Yuanyi: "When you hired me, you knew I was not a stranger?"

Elder Sun nodded.

Yang Yuanyi: "You also knew when you mailed the admission notice?"

Elder Sun glanced at the third floor, and said, "The admission notice will be sent by the president." He looked at Yang Yuanyi, and said meaningfully: "Hiring you is not just random, it is the president who chooses you and takes good care of you. You must be superior. The Reasoning Society will not harm you, we are your companions."

Wang Xiaohong shrank behind Elder Sun's back, holding the teacup, his eyes glazed over, his expression cracked.Excellence?Widowed?

Yang Yuanyi: "I'll go out for a walk." He needs a quiet environment to think alone.

After Yang Yuanyi went out, Wu Wei and Xia Lanlan grabbed Wang Xiaohong without looking back, and stopped Mr. Sun from going: "Uncle Sun is always in charge of hiring members in the club, and the president never cares. This time he personally hired Yang Yuanyi." , What's going on? Don't talk about human beings, we don't believe it."

Old Sun was very calm: "We need to connect with humans."

Xia Lanlan: "Work together through the same profession?"

Old Sun: "No, marriage."

Wu Wei Xia Lanlan: "!!!"

Wang Xiaohong: "Ginger is still old and hot." Uncle Sun is mighty.

. . . .

Yang Yuanyi's temper is both good and bad.Most of the time, he has a good temper and hardly gets angry.The mood is always calm and calm, not too curious, let alone go into a dead end.

So when he found out that he, as a human being, was mixed into a reasoning club full of strange news, although he couldn't figure it out for the time being, he just put it aside for the time being, and he would know when he should know.

At present, the reasoning agency is not harmful to him, it is still a place where the work pays the salary and provides a house to live in. All he needs to know is enough.

Night came quickly, and before Yang Yuan set off, the club received a call from Luo Jierui for help.She cried on the other end of the phone: "I see her again, that shadow, and she's in my bathroom right now. Come here quickly, quickly!"

Elder Sun calmed her emotions: "We will go there immediately, please stay calm and hide temporarily. I hope you can stay calm. Fear and despair will make you more likely to be lured by screams."

Luo Jierui's voice was full of panic and fear, and she said: "I just heard the news that my colleague Sun Lixiang, her divorced husband died unexpectedly today. I heard that he fell into the lake and drowned. There were so many people by the lake, He didn't yell for help. Others said it was suicide, but I know it must be that black shadow!"

Old Sun: "Speak calmly, we will record it." While speaking, he motioned for Wang Xiaohong to record, and the latter skillfully and quickly recorded the key points.

Luo Jierui said: "Sun Lixiang's husband raised a woman outside, and he forced Sun Lixiang to divorce after returning home. He did a lot of disgusting things. My husband also raises a woman outside and wants to divorce me. Tell me, is it because of this that I got married?" Will be targeted? Huh? Isn't it? What did you find out? Can you come over quickly?"

She was increasingly incoherent and visibly frightened.

Yang Yuanyi got up immediately: "I'm leaving now, send me the address."

Old Sun: "It has been sent to the president."

At this time, Wei Yanqing went downstairs, walked to Yang Yuanyi's side in two or three steps, and stretched her long legs: "Let's go."

As soon as Yang Yuan caught up, the two headed to Luo Jierui's house.
