Infamous system

Chapter 38 Demons

The high fever made people drowsy and drowsy. After remembering what the original owner had experienced, Shen Bo couldn't hold his heavy eyelids, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The train ticket that Yuan Yi bought was for the whole journey, originally he planned to pick a random stop, which happened to be convenient for Shen Bo.

When Shen Bo woke up from his sleep, it was already the next morning, and the train just arrived at a city named "Linshan".Shen Bo took the only thing in his body to salute - the briefcase, and got off the train.

There were very few passengers getting off at Linshan Station, and only a few people stood on the open platform.Shen Bo randomly chose a direction to get out of the station, and walked towards the exit.

There was a strong wind blowing on the platform, and the newspapers lying flat on the hawker's newsstand were scattered all over the place by the wind. The hawker was bending over to pick them up, but there were too many newspapers and he hadn't finished picking them up yet.

Shen Bo walked forward with all his heart, he didn't pay much attention to his feet, naturally he didn't see a newspaper blown by the wind on the road that was empty just a second ago.Shen Bo stepped on the scattered newspapers on the ground, and felt that the touch was wrong. When he looked down, he found that it was a brand new newspaper.

Shen Bo glanced at it by chance, and saw the big red characters "Sell urgently, check in with package" printed on it, and there was also a picture of a villa in a quiet environment.

Originally, Shen Bo wasn't very interested, but he saw something that others couldn't see: three words slowly emerged above the place where the address of the villa was written in the newspaper——plot point.

The triggering method of this task is quite different, Shen Bo bent down to pick up the newspaper that was under his feet, while secretly thinking about how the task would be triggered.

Shen Bo took out two coins from his pocket, threw them on the vendor's table, and left with the newspaper.

Unexpectedly, when he got off a strange station at will, the mission was triggered. Shen Bo wondered whether no matter which station he got off, he would meet someone or something who gave him a "plot point".

When he arrived outside the station, Shen Bo took out a smart phone that had long been out of battery and turned off from his briefcase. Looking at the shape and weight, Shen Bo guessed that the phone should not exceed 2000 yuan.

This is in line with the fact that the original body focused on physics research and didn't care about the material level of his own enjoyment.

Shen Bo glanced at the useless smartphone, didn't think much, just put it back into the bag.

Shen Bo walked to the nearby supermarket, bought a bottle of mineral water, and when paying the bill, he was going to borrow a mobile phone from the clerk to make a call.

Unexpectedly, what he was wearing now looked like a down-and-out man who had lost his job and went out to rob in order to survive.

As soon as Shen Bo mentioned borrowing a mobile phone, the young and strong male clerk immediately became defensive. He originally put the mobile phone on the counter to read the news, but when he heard this, he grabbed the mobile phone and stuffed it into his pocket.

The male clerk expelled Shen Bo vigilantly: "This store does not provide this kind of service. If you want to make a call, go to the flower shop next door to borrow a landline."

Shen Bo didn't know what the male shop assistant was thinking, but he also understood that some shops had special regulations, so he picked up the mineral water bottle and walked out.

The flower shop next door was very small, and the small space was packed with all kinds of flowers. The owner of the shop was an elderly woman, and she was sitting in the shop with a gray bobtail cat in her arms, cutting flower branches.

Although the flower shop is small, the arrangement is very thoughtful, and the arrangement of the flowers is very comfortable to look at. Just from this point, you can feel that the owner is proficient in flower arrangement.

As soon as Shen Bo entered the store, the fragrance of flowers came to his nostrils, and he could smell it through a mask.

"Sir, are you here to buy flowers?" The female shopkeeper put down the flower branches and the cat, patted the fine residue on her hands, and stood up to greet Shen Bo.

"I'll borrow the landline to make a call." Shen Bo was a little surprised to find that the discomfort in his body was dispelled by the fragrance of flowers, and his eyes were clear.

Could there be medicinal herbs in these flowers? Chen Bo took off his mask and sniffed the fragrance of flowers in the air, the more he smelled the more comfortable he felt.

The female shopkeeper just lowered her head to get the landline in the drawer of the counter. When she was taking the landline, she was thinking that this man was dressed strangely, covering herself tightly. When she looked up, she couldn't help but froze.

"He's so pretty."

An indistinct ghost floated in the air, with its mouth pressed against the shopkeeper's ear, breathing cold air into the earhole.

"Bring him here to me."

The gray bobcat stared in the direction of the hostess, let out a strange cry, and rushed towards the direction of the hostess while barking.

So Shen Bo, who had just arrived in Linshan City, saw the first strange thing: the cat committed suicide by bumping into the wall.

The cat's shrill cry before it died was extremely penetrating, and Shen Bo was also shocked through the earplugs, and he tightened the earplugs uncomfortably.

The hostess, who looked weak and weak, turned pale with fright, and shook the landline to the front of the table with shaking hands.

Shen Bo has seen dead people and blood for a long time, and this is a family matter, he has no intention to take care of it, so he just picked up the phone with a calm face, and dialed the contact information in the newspaper.

"Beep-beep-"

The uninspired phone rings in this small flower shop, breaking the eerie quiet atmosphere.

"He's not scared at all, not at all like you guys."

The ghost's voice was very soft and ethereal, and the hostess of the flower shop could hear a hint of sweetness in her usual cold-blooded voice. She was chilled by her own thoughts and felt even more frightened.The hostess's legs were trembling and she couldn't stand up, and she grabbed the counter with both hands to support her sliding body.

The pink and purple flowers piled up at the hostess' feet were stained with the blood sprayed by the cat after the cat broke its neck. The blood was still warm and flowed along the petals. A few drops fell to the ground and spread along the cracks in the tiles. Seeped to the feet of the mistress.

Shen Bo waited for the person on the other end of the phone to connect, watching the blood seeping into the counter, Shen Bo thought for a while, covered the bottom of the microphone, and reminded in a low voice:

"Ma'am, would you like to clean up?"

Shen Bo signaled to the female shopkeeper with his eyes that the cat's blood had already flowed into the bottom of the counter.

The hostess rolled her eyes, and saw that the blood seemed to come alive, crawling up from the cracks in the tiles, and clinging to her feet like a vine.She opened her mouth to scream, but the more terrifying presence beside her made her lose her courage.

The hostess struggled, and nodded with the little strength left: "I'll clean up later, you go first."

Shen Bo obviously remembered that when he first entered the door, the shopkeeper's breath was well-proportioned, exuding a time-honored gentleness from the inside out, but now his breath is unstable, with a forced smile on his face.

Shen Bo couldn't help asking: "Ma'am, are you okay?"

"Are you trying to pretend to be pitiful and get his attention?" Ghost's tone became cold, and the female shopkeeper felt a sharp pain in her ankle, but she was trembling and didn't dare to look at what happened.

"I'm fine." The shopkeeper lowered her head, not daring to talk to Shen Bo.

Shen Bo took another look suspiciously, but apart from the dead cat by the wall, he didn't find anything unusual.

At this time, a polite male voice just came from the earpiece, diverting Shen Hu's focus:

"Hello, this is Linshan Buying a House Consulting Center. What do you want to consult?"

"Hello, I saw the advertisement in the newspaper..."

Before Shen Bo finished speaking, there was a grinding sound from the microphone over there, as if someone had snatched the intermediary's microphone. After a while, the voice came from the microphone again:

"Are you asking about Lingyue Villa? You can live today, and I'll pick you up now?"

"I'm not going to..." Shen Bo just said his refusal, when he was interrupted, as if he had to live in today, he introduced with extreme enthusiasm:

"We provide a one-month free trial service. Think about it, isn't this more cost-effective than staying in an outside hotel? Even if you are not satisfied with something during your stay, I can take you to another house."

The man said that it seemed that Shen Bo would suffer a great loss if he didn't live in it, and he began to analyze to Shen Bo how good the villa in Lingyue Villa was from other aspects, in short, he was exaggerating.

As Shen Bo listened, he even felt the pain he had receded surged up again, he had to interrupt the real estate agency for his own sake.

"I'm in a flower shop near Linshan Railway Station, come and pick me up."

"Okay, okay." The real estate agent's voice was extremely excited, and he could hear his satisfaction with the completion of this matter from two consecutive "OK".

Shen Bo hung up the phone and put the receiver back to its original position.

"Do you want to pay?"

Shen Bo took out his pocket, and found that apart from the two coins for buying water, the pocket was full of waste paper that was written on it. He forgot when it was stuffed in. When Shen Bo touched it for the first time, he thought it was It was banknotes, and I was a little embarrassed after asking.

Flower shops usually have to pay for renting landlines to make calls. The female shopkeeper was about to say the price casually when she felt the ghost approaching her again.

"Give my cohabitant a handful of stars, and wish him a happy life in the new city." After speaking, the ghost warned in a friendly way: "I hope you know what to do."

The hostess tugged at the corners of her mouth and showed a stiff smile. Her slender right hand rested on the prepared microphone, and her left hand supported the countertop to keep her trembling body. After a while, she said with a smile on her face. : "At first glance, you are new to Linshan, are you planning to settle here?"

Shen Bo rubbed his fingers in his trousers pocket in embarrassment, followed the female shopkeeper's words, and replied with prudence: "Yes."

"Linshan is a city that is not well-known, but the living environment is very good, especially Lingyue Villa." The hostess said this, her right hand pressing on the microphone subconsciously clenched into a fist, and she did not continue to talk about Lingyue The thing about the villa is to turn around and take a handful of white baby's breath placed on the top shelf. The packaging is exquisite, and the price is expensive at first glance.

The hostess tore off the price tag on the package, turned around and placed it on the counter.

"Congratulations on becoming a new resident of Linshan City. Someone asked me to send you this bouquet of flowers. He hopes you have a happy life. In addition, small things like calling are free."

Shen Bo picked up the baby's breath with one hand, blinked his eyes a few times, thought for a while and asked his guess: "Is it an old lady?"
