endless tricks

Yang Yuanyi suddenly asked curiously: "How many levels are there in total?"

Wei Yanqing: "Level [-]."

Yang Yuanyi: "Who sets this level?"

Wei Yanqing: "The original owner who compiled the city's strange news. While solving the urban horror and strange news, he arranged them according to the level, the highest is thirteen levels. Later, the human world and the world of strange things were divided according to this level. .”

Yang Yuanyi: "Where is the original owner of City Strange Records?"

Wei Yanqing: "Dead."

Yang Yuanyi: "Oh." After a pause, he asked again: "Why did he compile the City Strange Records?"

Wei Yanqing sighed imperceptibly: "He said that there must be a sense of ritual, and only things that are recorded will not be forgotten. Even if it is a strange story, it should not be forgotten."

Yang Yuanyi was silent for a long time, and said in a little surprise: "It can't be me?"

Wei Yanqing glanced at Yang Yuanyi and looked away.Although he only had one glance, he had already expressed everything he wanted to say. "If you were the original owner of Anomaly, I would not let you live until now."

Yang Yuanyi suddenly realized: "You have a grudge against him."

"He tricked me with a lie, and I had to stay in the reasoning agency to suppress that group of strange stories for him for 30 years." Wei Yanqing mentioned the original owner of the strange news record, obviously extremely displeased.While talking, he stared at the serious Yang Yuanyi out of the corner of his eye, and poured some comfort into his violent heart: "But as a repayment, he gave me a treasure."

Yang Yuanyi was curious: "What treasure?"

Wei Yanqing is very powerful, she seems to have no desires, no ambitions, but actually it is because she is so strong that she does not need material things to satisfy herself.So he was curious about what kind of treasure would impress Wei Yanqing.

Wei Yanqing smiled and said, "Unique."

Yang Yuan asked three or four times, but failed to get an answer, and then chose to give up. He sorted out the real 'Black Dahlia' urban anecdote and wrote it into words, and took photos and sent them to Mr. Sun.

Back at Su Qingcan's villa, I saw Zhou Lingxi sitting upright while Wang Xiaohong was paralyzed on the sofa.Comparing the two, the gap is obvious.Wang Xiaohong raised his head and greeted Yang Yuanyi happily: "Brother Yuan, have you solved the strange news?"

Yang Yuan subconsciously raised his palm to cover his eyes, and nodded hastily.

Wang Xiaohong felt strange: "Brother Yuan, did your eyes hurt?"

Yang Yuan shook his head: "I think it's too bright, and my eyes are flashed."

Wang Xiaohong looked at the soft and bright lights above his head, and was caught off guard and hurt.Holding his aching heart, he took out his hat to cover his shiny bald head.

Yang Yuanyi was a little embarrassed, and comforted Wang Xiaohong: "I just came back, and my eyes are already used to the darkness. It's not your fault that I was stimulated by the bright light when I entered the door suddenly, so don't worry about it."

Wang Xiaohong looked at him and silently took off his hat.

Yang Yuan persisted for a minute, his eyes couldn't stand the stimulation and shed tears and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, you'd better put on your hat." He couldn't hold it anymore, it was stronger than the reflection of a mirror.

Wang Xiaohong put on his hat and shrank to a corner. At this moment, he could only find a little warmth in the virtual network world—fortunately, with the increase of working dogs, the group of bald young people is also growing.

Zhou Lingxi couldn't help laughing, "Your reasoning club is really interesting."

Yang Yuanyi sat down and said, "Have you never cooperated before? It's like meeting you for the first time."

Zhou Lingxi: "I have worked with Xia Lanlan before. She is a calm and strong woman, which makes people daunting." Another partner is Wei Yanqing, who has been in nightmares for a long time during the cooperation.Therefore, there is no need, and he is not willing to cooperate with the Monster Reasoning Society at all.

Yang Yuan shrugged: "Su Qingcan is alright?"

Zhou Lingxi: "I just confirmed that the black dahlias on her body have withered. It will be fine to take care of her body after a while, and it will be fine."

"What's the matter, Keke?"

Zhou Lingxi looked at Wang Xiaohong: "He knows better than me."

In terms of news channels and the speed of collecting news, no one can compare to Wang Xiaohong.After all, there are many species of water ghosts, which exist everywhere in the sea, lakes, and rivers. As long as there is water, there is a high possibility of a water ghost family living there.

Wang Xiaohong found comfort in the virtual network world. A broken heart was re-sculpted into a diamond heart. He walked out from the corner, lay on the sofa and said, "Ke Ke was the assistant who appeared beside Su Qingcan half a year ago, but last year At this time, she was still Sun Qingqing's assistant. But it was very inconspicuous. After Sun Qingqing became popular, she fired Keke. Keke disappeared, and appeared next to Su Qingcan half a year later. After Su Qingcan became popular, she hired many assistants. It's also very inconspicuous inside. Keke has had contact with Yao Cheng, not much, not enough to attract attention."

The rest is about Ke Ke's identity. She appeared suddenly, and the earliest record can be traced back to the year when Yao Cheng was prosperous.She really showed up last year as Sun Qingqing's assistant, but all her experience in the previous ten years could not be tracked down.

Ke Ke was fabricated out of thin air, and Yao Cheng helped her forge her identity.

Yang Yuanyi was thoughtful: "The IQ of these strange stories is very high."

Wang Xiaohong: "Of course, the more advanced the IQ is, the higher the intelligence quotient will be, even surpassing humans. We are also anecdotes, so we don't seem to be different from humans, don't we?"

Yang Yuanyi admitted that what he said was right, in the process of getting along with Wang Xiaohong and others, he would often forget that this group of non-human beings.Except for Wei Yanqing, this person is full of disobedience from the appearance, and he is always labeled as 'inhuman' and 'horrible and strange'.

Wang Xiaohong said: "'Black Dahlia' is a very special anecdote. It has two special settings, especially the setting that confuses others. So she has been free and easy in China for three or four years, and has not been caught until now. If more If you grow up with a little time, if you don't keep it neat, it will become a big rumor on the side of trouble."

Yang Yuanyi and Wang Xiaohong were talking, while Zhou Lingxi and Wei Yanqing sat on one side and watched quietly.After a while, Zhou Lingxi asked Wei Yanqing: "Is he the heir you are looking for?"

Wei Yanqing raised his eyelids and glanced at Zhou Lingxi, but did not reply.He looked dispirited, pale and indifferent.

Zhou Lingxi was used to his attitude, but he was shocked by this guy's warm attitude when Yang Yuan was by his side before.He pointed to Yang Yuanyi and smiled maliciously: "He is the person you are looking for, right?"

Wei Yanqing said coldly: "I've said it many times, the Strange Records are just a stamp collection."

"That's the truth, but behind it is the entire reasoning agency." Zhou Lingxi pointedly said: "If you hadn't been in charge of the reasoning agency, those old monsters would have come out in full force. But you are just an agent, the real one." The heirs' showed up, right?"

Wei Yanqing looked at Yang Yuanyi who was chatting with Wang Xiaohong, the smiling young man didn't realize the responsibility he was about to shoulder.

'monster' is a monster, a monster that spreads in the anecdotal world, and is also called a monster among monsters.In the last century, its name was 'monster mansion'. It rose suddenly and stood in a corner of the prosperous city center of the thousand-year-old capital, becoming an insurmountable existence that shocked the world of strange stories.

Strange stories are spread around the world, as long as you have the 'Urban Strange Record', you can become the heir to the mansion.The powerful rumor that now sits in the mansion is actually the previous curator who invited him to be the temporary acting curator until the real heir took over.

Zhou Lingxi didn't take Yang Yuan seriously at first, but Wei Yanqing's attitude towards him was unusual.He thought of the heir to the mansion, but Wei Yanqing didn't directly deny it, which means he accepted his guess.But he is not interested in 'monster', so he took the lead in showing his favor, and he will not hurt Yang Yuanyi.

"However, if he is found out, he will become the target of strange rumors." Zhou Lingxi smiled leisurely. Although he was not interested, it did not hinder him from watching the play.

Wei Yanqing's eyes were not happy, and after a long time, he said softly: "So what if you know? I'm here, but I can't protect him?"

Zhou Lingxi's eyes lingered between Wei Yanqing and Yang Yuanyi, and smiled: "I see."

"What is that? What are you guys talking about?" Wang Xiaohong grabbed an apple from the table and gnawed it. He happened to hear Zhou Lingxi's last words, so he asked curiously.

Zhou Lingxi smiled: "The secret of ginger hair growth."

Wang Xiaohong categorically vetoed it: "Ginger can only prevent hair loss, but not treat hair growth." No one knows better than him when it comes to hair.

Zhou Lingxi spoke softly, hiding a knife in her smile: "Then, why are you still bald?"

Wang Xiaohong had a sore nose and was greatly shocked.He even had his hair planted in a barber shop in spring. How can a person who has no hair at all prevent hair loss?Asking that is so insulting.

Yang Yuanyi quickly comforted: "Who said it's useless? Maybe it's because the soil is moistened in winter, and the hair can only be implanted in spring. Otherwise, if you think about it, every year the hair follicles are transplanted, all the hair follicles must be dead."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohong was even more desperate.

Yang Yuanyi carefully added: "If it doesn't work, there are still wigs. Now the more expensive wigs can be confused with real ones."

Wang Xiaohong refused with backbone: "Wigs are the beginning of degeneration, and I will not indulge myself." He firmly believes that one day he will be able to grow lush and smooth hair again with hard work and faith.

"Oh." Yang Yuanyi retreated indifferently to Wei Yanqing's side, away from Wang Xiaohong.

Zhou Lingxi looked at Wang Xiaohong with a smile on her long hair that was pulled to her chest.

At this time, Su Qingcan woke up and came down from upstairs. When she saw a few people, she hurried forward and anxiously asked if she had solved the demon flower that was entangled her.When she got an affirmative answer, she cried and laughed, thanking her excitedly.But when she was asked how she knew Ke Ke, she asked, "Who is Ke Ke?"

Yang Yuanyi: "Your life assistant, don't you remember?"

"I don't have a life assistant at all!" Su Qingcan was shocked: "Because when I debuted in the early years, the paparazzi bribed my life assistants everywhere and sold my private life habits. So I have always paid attention to privacy and rejected life assistants. So I don't have any assistants other than my work assistant, and I don't like being interfered with in my private life."

Yang Yuanyi and Wang Xiaohong looked at each other in dismay: "It seems that they have been confused."

If you think about it carefully, you can indeed find anomalies.Su Qingcan hadn't worked for a few weeks, and only Ke Ke was with her. They would not doubt Ke Ke's identity when they had no contact with outsiders.Yesterday at the TV station, Keke greeted other staff members with a smile on her face, and seemed to be very familiar with them.In fact, it can be found that when the staff saw Ke Ke, there was a hint of doubt on their faces.

Su Qingcan was very nervous: "What is confusing? You mean that those dirty things pretended to be my life assistants and kept monitoring me, but I didn't know and even accepted those dirty things?"

The black dahlia withered, and all the side effects disappeared.At this moment, Su Qingcan still thought that what she encountered was a supernatural event. When she found out that she was not only blinded by a ghost, but also lived with the other party for nearly half a year, she almost went crazy.She hugged herself in horror, trembling: "Will those things still come?"

Yang Yuanyi: "No, you can rest assured. If you encounter similar situations in the future, you can entrust our reasoning agency again." With an honest and sincere face, he freely asked Wei Yanqing for his business card and handed it to Su Qing gem.

Zhou Lingxi was robbed of his business if he didn't pay attention: "Hey, hey, we agreed not to steal the reputation of our firm."

Yang Yuanyi: "It's just grabbing business, not grabbing your brand name. You can mention the agreed matters to Ms. Su yourself. Anyway, we won't take the initiative to talk about it. You can publicize it however you want, and we won't clarify it."

They didn't clarify, but they couldn't stand Su Qingcan's propaganda.So it's not a breach of contract, it's fair.

Zhou Lingxi stared and accused Wei Yanqing: "Take care of the newcomers in your family. If you break the rules in the business field, you will be scolded."

Wei Yanqing sneered: "Who dares to scold me?!"

Yes, take it to his head.Zhou Lingxi didn't say a word, anyway, she didn't really care about Su Qingcan's publicity everywhere, no matter how she publicized, she would definitely bring out the name of "Zhou's Supernatural Office".As long as it is brought out, it is tantamount to publicity.Furthermore, their firm's public relations are perfect. Once the matter is over, they will go back and publicize it. If no one clarifies it, it's not just letting them blow.

Su Qingcan: "Really, really solved?"

Yang Yuanyi: "Yes."

Su Qingcan cried and apologized and repented, she shouldn't have taken chances, she should have tried to get rid of the black dahlia as early as when the accident happened.Otherwise, she wouldn't have killed the other three innocent people. When she woke up, she felt extremely remorseful.

Yang Yuanyi: "It's a fact that your will is not strong, but the black dahlia will confuse you, seduce you, magnify your inner desires, and blind your conscience." Sighing, he couldn't say more words of comfort.It cannot be said that it is entirely Su Qingcan's fault, but it is impossible to excuse her, after all, it is a matter of three lives.

Even if these horrific rumors are attached to a human body, they will not be able to control the killing. It is not Su Qingcan or other actresses.

The aftermath project was handed over to Zhou Lingxi, including Su Qingcan's request for atonement.Yang Yuanyi and the others drove back to the reasoning agency at sunrise in the morning, turned on the radio in the car to listen to the morning news: "...a male corpse was found near an abandoned factory building at Chenqiao Station in the early morning. After verification, the male corpse's surname was Yao, is a well-known TV host..."

Yang Yuanyi: "How will this kind of case be handled in the end? Should it be listed as an unsolved case?"

Wei Yanqing: "List it in the confidential file, wait for Mr. Sun to sort out the case history, including the murderer—that is, the horror story, and hand over the work to the relevant department. The other party will list the confidential file as a cracked case, but it will not be made public."

Yang Yuanyi: "That's it. What exactly do you mean by the 'unusual privilege' you mentioned earlier?"

Wei Yanqing was watching the sunrise outside the window: "Having the right to deal with criminal rumors is a privilege." He turned his head, his face half-hidden in the sunlight: "The rumors can be obeyed or not. The rules of human society , if you abide by it, it will only be less troublesome."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaohong, who was concentrating on driving, couldn't help but look at the back seat from the rearview mirror, his lips twitched twice and he chose to remain silent.He felt that the president was teaching Yang Yuanyi badly, and for a rumor of the president's level, following the rules was just less troublesome.For other anecdotes, such as those with a huge family like his, if they don't abide by them, they will face the consequences of extinction.

As long as you live in a stable social group, following the rules is the most basic rule by default.

When the group returned to the club, it was still Mr. Sun who entertained them.Wang Xiaohong asked: "Aren't Angkor and Sister Lan here?"

Elder Sun turned around and put the documents away, and replied, "I went on a trip, and I'll be back in two days."

Yang Yuanyi: "Are they a couple?"

Wang Xiaohong: "Of course not. They are just companions. They were hired by Monster five years ago, and they have been together and employed by relevant departments before that. I heard that they have cooperated for more than ten years, so they have a very good relationship and a tacit understanding. Huh? Where's the president?"

Yang Yuanyi: "As soon as I came in, I went upstairs. How did you come to work in the reasoning agency?" He was obviously afraid of strange news, but he didn't worry about making a living.

Wang Xiaohong shrugged: "Because my family forces me to go on a blind date. If I don't come, I will be forced to marry the same clan, the one with no hair."

There are many kinds of water ghosts, some of them are not bald, but have too little hair.Because they live in lakes, most of the time, the hair will be mistaken for seaweed.Sometimes when you wake up after sleeping, you will find that the big fish has eaten all your hair.

Yang Yuanyi expressed deep sympathy, and took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator: "Wang Xiaohong, what do you want to drink?"

Wang Xiaohong: "Coke, thank you."

Elder Sun took the time to look up from his busy work and said, "Don't drink too much, order a big meal tonight."

Yang Yuanyi was surprised: "What special day is today?"

"It's not because of the special day. The club stipulates that every time you complete a commission, you have to celebrate with a big meal. Sometimes you go out to eat, and sometimes you order and deliver it to your door. I heard that it was a rule made by the previous owner. The murderous and terrifying rumors, it is worth celebrating to be able to come back alive." Wang Xiaohong opened the Coke and took a big gulp.

If he didn't mention it, Yang Yuanyi might ignore the danger of the strange news.He asked: "Curator?"

Wang Xiaohong: "It used to be called the Monster Mansion, but later it was changed to the Reasoning Agency for the convenience of obtaining a business license."

Yang Yuanyi: "Oh."

Elder Sun came over with a pile of materials and put them in front of the two of them: "Don't gossip, come, help me sort out this pile of materials."

Yang Yuan and the two put down the drinks in their hands and went forward to sort out the materials for Mr. Sun.In the afternoon, Wei Yanqing asked Yang Yuanyi to go upstairs to his room.

Wang Xiaohong shook his head: "It's not good to be promiscuous in the daytime."

Yang Yuanyi rolled his eyes and threw the pen in his hand: "Don't talk nonsense, I'll go up first."

After speaking, he went upstairs.

Elder Sun came over again with a pile of documents and put them in front of Wang Xiaohong.Wang Xiaohong immediately fell down on the table and wailed: "Why are there so many? Uncle Sun, I just came back, can't you give me some time to take a hot bath?"

Elder Sun said kindly: "Young people are full of energy, but you are single anyway."

Wang Xiaohong: "It's a personal attack, Uncle Sun." He took off his hat and slapped his bald head, feeling aggrieved: "Working overtime makes me bald."

Elder Sun turned around and glanced, and immediately blocked his eyes: "Speak well, don't let go of your head."

Wang Xiaohong: "...that's too much."

Upstairs, Yang Yuanyi stood at the door of Wei Yanqing's room: "President, what do you want from me?"

Wei Yanqing beckoned: "Come here." He spread out the urban anecdote and handed it to Yang Yuanyi: "You come to record, the one hundred and first anecdote: black dahlia. No more than a hundred words, describe the characteristics, characteristics Write it all down."

Yang Yuan hesitated: "Can I?"

Wei Yanqing: "There's nothing wrong with it. After all, it's a stamp collection, you write it."

"Okay." Yang Yuan replied, and sat behind the desk, thinking about how to describe the one hundred and first strange news in a hundred words.

Wei Yanqing was sitting by the window, the window glass was covered with brown film, and the room was a bit dark.Turned on the light, and the room became much brighter in an instant.He looked at Yang Yuanyi, who was concentrating on thinking, from time to time, his eyes were deep and dark, and he couldn't see any emotion.

The room is quiet, occasionally there is the whirring sound of writing on paper, the atmosphere is quiet and warm, which is reassuring.

After a long time, as soon as Yang Yuan finished describing the strange news in a hundred words, he looked up and saw Wei Yanqing's profile in the light and shadow.Suddenly he held his breath and stared straight at it for a long while before regaining his senses and looking away.

"It's finished, can you take a look at it?"

Wei Yanqing took it to look at it, nodded: "Yes."

Yang Yuan got up together: "Then I'll go back first."

Wei Yanqing raised her eyes: "Yes."

As soon as Yang Yuan went out, he took the door behind him, went back to the room, took off his coat, unbuttoned his collar, and took a deep breath.After regaining his composure, he lit three cigarettes and faced his husband's tablet reverently: "Believe me, you are the best looking."

After being idle for nearly two months, it was already November, and the cold wind was blowing outside, and the temperature dropped sharply.With the heating on in the room and a cup of hot tea in hand, it can be said to be very enjoyable.

Wang Xiaohong was drowsy: "I want to retire and go back to hibernate for three months."

Wu Wei kicked his leg off the table: "Every time it enters the first few days of the season, you won't get tired of saying this."

Wang Xiaohong was weak: "Sleepy..."

Xia Lanlan sneezed, took out a tissue and wiped it off.

Yang Yuanyi asked with concern: "Have you caught a cold?"

Xia Lanlan shook her head: "No." Her nose was already red, and she had been sneezing continuously since yesterday.But I firmly refused to admit that I had a cold, and refused to change back into winter clothes.In cold weather, she always wears thin shirts and short skirts.

Old Sun made a cup of ginger tea for her: "Drink it." Then he clapped his hands and said to everyone: "There is a new commission, everyone listen."

Several people looked up at Elder Sun, their postures did not change, but they were indeed listening.

Old Sun: "The client is a professor who investigates folklore. He wants to find out the missing classmates."

Yang Yuanyi: "What's going on?"

Sun Lao said: "The name of the client is Dong Yongfeng. He went to a certain place to investigate folk nursery rhymes two years ago. He accidentally fell into a coma and woke up recently. The four students who went with him at that time are all missing."

Yang Yuanyi: "Why did Dong Yongfeng entrust us to our reasoning agency?"

Sun Lao: "According to him, it was because the folk nursery rhymes they investigated angered the local resentful spirits and were hunted down. I found that the folk nursery rhymes they investigated belonged to a branch of horror nursery rhymes, and horror nursery rhymes are in the anecdote and legend. It's dangerous."

The author has something to say:

Yang Yuanyi (sincere face): From now on, become a face control.

Wei Yanqing (dead fish eyes): As expected, it is better to chop off the tablet that gets in the way.
