Daily life of civil servants in the prefectural government

On the outskirts of the city, Dequ Chemical Factory.

Weeds are overgrown, abandoned factory buildings stand quietly, and there are few people.

I didn't expect that in a second-tier city like City A, there would be such a desolate place.With her bag on her back, Su Xiyan walked forward along the path stepped on.

A few years ago, a foreign boss came to the Dequ Chemical Factory to contract and set up the factory.However, because the capital chain was broken halfway, the chemical plant stopped working halfway through construction, which was a sensation in the local area at that time.The workers asking for wages made a fuss for a while, and the bosses who took a fancy to this piece of land came and wandered around a few times. In the end, the place was still so desolate and silent.

Su Xiyan heard from the taxi driver who had just brought him here that the place had been deserted for a long time, and only a few small factories nearby moved in not long ago.The rent is cheap, and the water and electricity bills here are not expensive, but because the distance is too far, it is inconvenient for the employees to go back and forth, so few people are willing to come.

In this huge factory building, there are only five or sixty people who go back and forth every day.

"Who? Who are you looking for?"

Su Xiyan wandered around the gate of the factory for a long time, and finally alarmed the old man who was about to fall asleep in the guard room.

"To come to the factory, sir, can you point me to the rented space inside and let me have a look?"

"you?"

The old man poked his head out, stared at Su Xiyan and looked back and forth, as if he didn't understand why a young man like Su Xiyan couldn't think of renting a place in this place where no shit.

"There are a lot of places that can be rented here. You can go in and have a look. You can rent places where there is no one. Be careful when you leave. Some places are not installed properly. Don't look at the places that are too high. We are not responsible for any accidents. .”

"Hey, you didn't come here because of that bullshit phone call, did you?"

Sir, you are so clever.

Su Xiyan praised him in her heart, but on the surface she had to pretend to be confused.

"Phone? What kind of phone? Is it a rented phone here? Someone introduced me to him, and he said he asked me to come and have a look first, so I came."

"Oh." The uncle nodded dubiously. After all, he opened the factory door.

"Okay, let's go, remember to read more news when you go back, don't be less aware of current affairs than an old man like me."

Su Xiyan: ...

After being nagged by the old man, Su Xiyan finally entered the door.

There are three buildings lined up in the factory, two of which have already been built, and the third is only half built. It looks like the color has changed a bit.

Su Xiyan thought about it, and decided to go to the two completed buildings first.The workers who work here are here every day, maybe they can know something different.

After walking two steps, he stopped again and opened his backpack.

Today's him is different from the one who went into battle empty-handed before. As a civil servant of the underworld, today he is a man with equipment.

Thinking of the new compass, which was said to be a small compass that can search for suspicious Yin Qi within a hundred meters, Su Xiyan felt a little itchy.The little compass looks so interesting, I don't know if it will have a notification sound like the navigation?

Relying on his memory, he touched the place where he just put the compass, and Su Xiyan pulled out the fluffy tentacles...

The compass did not come out, but a kitten was fished out instead.

The snow-white kitten lay on his hand, its tail rolled up nervously, looked at him pitifully, and let out a trembling meow.

Su Xiyan: ...Okay, okay, don't be fierce, don't be fierce, you can say whatever you want.

Su Xiyan happened to be wearing a short-sleeved sweater today, and there was a big pocket under the chest, so he stuffed the kitten into it.

"I have something to do, you clingy little guy, don't make trouble for me."

Warm fingers scratched his head, and he was stuffed in the pocket of his clothes. There was only a thin layer of cloth between him and the man's skin. Listening carefully, he could still hear the steady heartbeat. .

Cui Zhao, the clingy little goblin: ...

Ah ah ah ah heart you give me a little bit of courage!Don't jump around!

What's there to dance about, it's a human, human, human!Not a cute little she-cat!

Su Xiyan felt in the bag again, this time he finally found the small compass that made his hands itch.

The brass material is engraved with gossip directions, a Tai Chi is engraved in the center circle, and a thin long needle is extended from the center of the Tai Chi.

All in all, it's a neat and useful gadget.

Input a little spiritual energy, and the long needle wobbled back and forth.Su Xiyan looked at the direction, and walked towards a building that seemed to be moving.

The ones rented out in the two buildings are the lower three floors.The first floor was rented to be used as a warehouse, and there was a pile of goods in it, but no one was there.The second floor is where the employees work, and the third floor is where the people in charge and important goods stay in those small factories.

"No, no, I told you that nothing happened here! The police have been here several times, why are you bothering?"

The person in charge of the factory immediately changed his face when he heard Su Xiyan's intentions, reprimanded him in a rough voice, and let him leave directly.

It seems that he was annoyed enough by the events of this period of time.

Su Xiyan didn't stay too long. When he was inside, he tested it with a small compass, and there was nothing suspicious nearby.Yin Qi resentment or something, I didn't see it at all.

After going around the lower three floors, Su Xiyan was about to go upstairs when someone suddenly stopped her.

It was a thin girl who stopped him. She ran over in a hurry, her eyes flickering back and forth, as if she was afraid of being seen.

"Well, did you want to ask before, has anything strange happened here recently?"

She twisted her fingers, a little afraid to look directly at Su Xiyan, she tilted her head and asked in a low voice.

"Yes, have you encountered anything recently?" Su Xiyan replied gently.

Needless to say, seeing the girl's face turning red like an apple, he knew why she came to talk to him at the risk of being scolded by the boss.

Sometimes, good-looking people still take some advantage.

"En..." She seemed very nervous, her voice was trembling slightly, and she spoke faster.

"Before, I heard some strange movements over there, in the unfinished building. We got off work at five o'clock in the evening, and sometimes it was late to go back after the night shift. When I went back that night, I didn't know why. I walked over there. Then I heard someone singing, and someone crying, a man and a woman, very soft voices... When I just wanted to go there, it was gone."

"The next day, when I was talking to other people, I was scolded. The factory manager didn't let us talk about it because he was afraid that it would affect the business."

"No... But, I didn't lie to you, there is really someone singing over there."

"I know, thank you."

Su Xiyan thanked him gently, and asked after thinking for a while:

"Over that unfinished building, does anyone usually go there?"

"No," the girl shook her head heavily, "It hasn't been built yet. I heard that someone was killed by falling stones when walking there before. We usually don't go there. .”

"Well."

Su Xiyan rubbed her chin thoughtfully, turned her head and saw the girl who was staring blankly at him, blushing up to the neck, and couldn't help but smile.

"Thank you, your news is very useful, as a token of my gratitude, I will give this to you."

Su Xiyan handed her a yellow talisman, thought for a while and took out a small cloth bag.

"It's fine to put it inside, and you can treat it as a safety talisman. Well, if you don't want to throw it away, you can."

The talisman was drawn by myself, and the cloth bag was given by Qin Sansan that day to hold the small medicine bottle.Maybe the appearance is not very good, but it can still make a living, so you shouldn't mind, right?

"……thanks."

The girl took the talisman paper and cloth bag with some hesitation, and the two quickly separated.

Now that he had a goal, Su Xiyan didn't plan to stay longer in these two buildings, so he went directly to the unfinished building.

The unfinished building lives up to the name of the unfinished building. It looks shabby from a distance, and even more shabby when viewed up close.The two buildings just now had an outer wall anyway, but this one doesn't even have an outer wall, and the structure inside can be seen at a glance.

Su Xiyan rubbed the cat in her pocket, "See, it's so scary here, so don't struggle and try to get off the ground again. If I can't find you in a while, you'll have to meow and cry."

Cui Zhao: What nonsense are you talking about?Who would cry, how could I cry!

The soft cat claws slapped it angrily, but when they touched his hand, they automatically retracted the sharp claws, only the cute little pink pad pressed against the back of his hand.

This looks more like coquettish than angry.

Su Xiyan couldn't hold back, took out the kitten again, and stroked it from beginning to end.

While playing Maosangzhi, a familiar female voice suddenly sounded.

"Brother Su, why are you here?"

When Su Xiyan looked up, Bai Yueying was leaning against the opening of the upstairs window, waving at him in surprise.

"Didn't you receive a lot of calls to the police during this period? Although the police came here and found nothing, and found nothing wrong during the investigation, but just in case, let us come and investigate."

Standing beside Bai Yueying, Xu Yuejie nodded slightly to Su Xiyan with a lazy expression.Then he reached out and lifted Bai Yueying up, and put her on his left side.

"Why are you standing there? Are you afraid that you won't be able to fall, so you decided to exercise your poor balance?"

"I'm obviously two or three meters away from there, okay? How could I fall from such a long distance!" Bai Yueying struggled.

Xu Yuejie: ​​"Oh, it's quite easy for you to fall two or three meters. After all, the soles of your feet are like having wheels, and you will show everyone a slip at any time."

Bai Yueying: "Bah! You're just slipping, and I stand so firmly!"

The two were arguing, and Su Xiyan silently reached out and stroked the cat.I always feel that I was fed a pot of dog food without knowing it, and finally I can understand what Qin Sansan once said. The relationship between the two of them is very good.

With these two professionals around, Su Xiyan didn't need to bother.

The array flags are like fingers in their hands, and they often go down and down in a row, and with a flash of inspiration, a room has been searched.According to Bai Yueying, this is a Yin-searching formation developed by Longhushan. It can be quickly built in conjunction with the formation flag, and the surrounding environment can be quickly searched.

Su Xiyan looked a little jealous, and asked if this formation could be passed on to the outside world, and the conclusion was yes, but to use it as smoothly as theirs requires memorizing the basics of formations and practicing many times.

In other words, if he wanted to do this, he would probably have to go home and practice for ten years.

Su Xiyan: ...Forget it, it's still interesting to draw symbols.

The two of them were busy, and Su Xiyan was too embarrassed to really keep watching, so she just walked around with her small compass to see if she could find anything.For example, what the little girl said about singing before, I can do a little research on this point.

Turning left and right, the rooms with similarities but minor differences are like a small maze, making Su Xiyan a little dizzy.Just as he was about to stop for a while, the pocket in front of him was suddenly stretched open, and a white shadow quickly slipped away in front of him.

Su Xiyan: Damn it, my cat!

The nearby terrain is not complicated, but if such a kitten is lost, it will be difficult to find, Su Xiyan followed without even thinking about it.

It's strange to say that since he picked up this kitten, he has been a soft and weak kitten, very obedient and obedient.Unexpectedly, under its well-behaved and obedient skin, there is such a rebellious heart hidden.

He almost lost track!

Su Xiyan managed to block the cat in a room. At this time, he followed him to the sixth floor, the highest floor of this unfinished building, and half of it was still unfinished.

"Meow~"

Cui Zhao knelt down in the corner and couldn't help licking his own fur comfortably.He stretched out his paw and patted the wall next to him.

Hey, Su Xiyan, see, this wall is not normal.

Su Xiyan didn't see it, he only saw a nasty kitten that slipped past him a few floors.In order to prevent the cat from being frightened by him, he walked over slowly, then quickly reached out and grabbed the kitten.

"Why are you so skinny? I told you, don't run around, you still run!"

Cui Zhao was forced to blow his hair, and in the end he could only nest in Su Xiyan's pocket pitifully.If he can transform into a human form now, he must be full of lovelessness, and then press Su Xiyan down and force him to feel the feeling of being crazily moved!

The aggrieved look of the kitten is so cute, Su Xiyan couldn't help but want to take out the phone to take a picture, but before turning on the camera, the phone rang.

Su Xiyan: ...is this model a bit familiar?

After connecting, it really was the familiar cry of despair again.

"I beg you, save her!... I beg you, save my girlfriend!"

Su Xiyan sighed, thought for a while, and didn't hang up the phone right away.

Isn't he saving now? The problem is that the information the ghost called is too inaccurate. How can I save him?

The noise on the other side of the phone is also loud, and I don't know if it's because of the influence of Yin Qi. Actually, Su Xiyan is quite curious, should the phone bill be deducted for ghost calls?Or are they also monthly subscriptions?

He was petting the cat and was about to go out when the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly changed his tone.

"...My girlfriend was kidnapped, I followed them all the way, she is now trapped on the sixth floor of the unfinished building, please save her!"

Unfinished building, the sixth floor?

Su Xiyan slowly raised her head, and glanced at the empty room in the corridor.

With so many empty rooms, where is his girlfriend trapped?

"Meow……"

The cat in his pocket meowed again, and this time Su Xiyan miraculously heard a little warning from his voice.What is he warning about?

"Woooooooo..."

When the woman was sobbing, there was a sudden sound. Her voice was very soft, as if her mouth and nose were covered, and she could only make a small sobbing sound from her throat.

Su Xiyan turned around following the voice and walked to the wall where the cat had just been, her expression involuntarily became solemn.

The cry seemed to come from inside the wall.

The wall in front of him was a standard blank, with only a layer of cement on it, and the unevenness looked rough.But it was such a wall that the sound of a woman crying came out.

Su Xiyan frowned and stepped forward. Just as he reached out and touched the wall, a deep male voice suddenly sounded.

Su Xiyan was taken aback, "This wall also has the function of ordering songs? So powerful?"

The gentle voice hummed a familiar tune, which turned out to be a lullaby upon careful listening.Under his comfort, the crying female voice gradually became quieter.

Su Xiyan thought for a while, then yelled downstairs.

"Two fellow daoists downstairs, can you come up for a while, I have discovered something."

The two who were arguing and working along the way were taken aback, and ran up quickly, but when they came up, the singing had stopped temporarily.

Su Xiyan showed the video he took to them both, and they all frowned.In this case, everyone had the same idea.

In this unfinished building, there may have been a kidnapping case.The kidnapped girl was killed together with her boyfriend, and their bodies were sealed in the wall.

Because the place is desolate and there are few people, no one discovered this after a few years of delay.

Bai Yueying, "Go back to upgrade the task, and then call someone to come over and tear down this wall, right?"

Xu Yuejie and Su Xiyan nodded together, and realized that this kind of thing must not be handled by a few of them. To demolish the wall, or the wall of the unfinished building, it is estimated that a construction team must be called to help temporarily.And all the people who work in this factory have to be removed.

Bai Yueying called the contact person, Su Xiyan stood in front of the wall, shaking the compass in his hand hesitantly.

"One more thing, the Yin Qi content in this wall seems to be a bit low..."

It doesn't look like it hides two corpses. If the ghost who was killed so cruelly and died with hatred after such a long time has not gone to the underworld, he would have already become a ghost.How can there be only such a little Yin Qi reaction, and they have stood here for a long time without any attack.

It seemed that everything that happened just now was just to attract them to discover the weirdness of the wall.

Xu Yuejie put formations on all of them, and pasted a yellow talisman on the wall.Although the yellow talisman paper is also gradually turning black, the degree of blackening is very slow.

"Hey, this..."

Xu Yuejie followed in confusion, and the two of them studied for a long time but couldn't figure out why.Cui Zhao, who was tucked into Su Xiyan's pocket, yelled and rolled his eyes with disdain.

Because he had to wait for the government to transfer the construction team, Su Xiyan left without staying.There is still an unconscious person waiting at home. He took a look when he was about to go out, and the fever has subsided. I don't know if he is awake now.

Su Xiyan went to pack a bowl of noodles for dinner, and after thinking about it, he packed a bowl of white porridge.

"I'm just going to see if he's starving to death. If not, I'll give you this porridge."

Su Xiyan was stroking the cat while talking about running the train.

"Let me tell you, white porridge is good for your skin, clears your lungs and moisturizes your throat. It is not only good for people to eat, but also for cats. When you grow up, your fur will be the same as porridge, white and flawless, just like a big cat. It’s like a cloud, so pretty!”

Cui Zhao bore the ravages he shouldn't have endured expressionlessly.

False, all false!What kind of porridge is delicious, not as delicious as dried fish, except for fish porridge, Cui Zhao does not accept all porridge foods!

But for the sake of Su Xiyan's sincerity, he can take two sips.

What?You said that it depends on the situation before people can drink it?Either he drinks the porridge or he drinks it. Is there any difference between a human-shaped drink and a cat-shaped drink?

Also, Cui Zhao looked down at his snow-white hair now, and decided not to tell Su Xiyan kindly that his body was a black cat.

Don't look at him looking white now, after his spiritual power is replenished, he will gradually turn black.It is impossible to have a big cloud, but there can be a big briquette.

Contrary to Su Xiyan's expectation, but also to Cui Zhao's expectation, his body has been kept in a deep sleep.The fever had come down, and the wound was not festering, but he just couldn't wake up.

On Cui Zhao's bedside, Su Xiyan found a post-it note with words written crookedly on it.

"Sleep, recuperate, don't worry."

The ugly handwriting makes Su Xiyan suspect that Cui Zhao asked the kid next door who just learned to write to write it for him, but at least there is no missing radical, so let's just assume that he is sick and unable to write so ugly.

Writing cats behind the scenes, Cui Zhao looks at his pink paw pads, hiding his achievements and fame.

This time, the efficiency of the government was very fast, and the next day there was news that the engineering team had been transferred and was preparing to demolish the wall, but professionals like them were needed to go to maintain the site.

The main reason is that they are afraid of a ghost coming out of some corner. They are not afraid, ordinary people can't bear this.

Su Xiyan specially brought an extra handful of talisman papers, pretending not to see the kitten crawling into the bag, and went to the suburbs with the bag.

"boom--"

There were cracks in the wall, and the responsible personnel quickly cleaned and dismantled it, but until they demolished most of the wall, they still didn't find where the so-called corpse was?

What exactly is going on?
