Chapter 19 The Mystery of the Mandrill

"When you fall, you wake up, right?" Shao Jing asked casually, leaning on the back of the sofa, playing with the lighter in his hand.

"How do you know?" Mai Mai was surprised, "That's right, I woke up when I fell and saw my grandma guarding me, and then I realized that I had been missing for a week, and was finally found lying on the road into the mountain, with Lu Yusheng and Lin Jing was unconscious. Then when I was carried back, I fell into a coma for two days before waking up. What happened? I asked my grandma, and she only said that it was a rule passed down from the elders, and that there were some people who did not abide by it. The well-behaved person is missing, but she doesn't know exactly what is doing the strange thing."

"It's a mandrill." Shao Jing snapped on the lighter, "You're smart, you didn't answer when your name was called, otherwise you wouldn't be able to come back."

Mai Mai still finds it hard to believe what happened to him: "Why does the whole village disappear?"

"The only one missing is you. Everyone in the village is still there, but you have fallen into a hallucination. The mandrill is a spirit that absorbs people's spirits by calling people's names. If you agreed at that time, you will be trapped forever. In the phantom."

"Illusion? Then what I saw was an illusion? But Lu Yusheng did have a wound on his neck, Lin Jing was wearing a torn paper dress, and also, my hundred-day coin did break the red string Gone."

"That's not what the illusion said, but it's hard to explain to a layman like you. Simply put, if the mandrill asked you to agree, you would be like those people you met in the woods. Those people should have been 'called' by the mandrill before, and their souls are still lost in the wasteland. That should be the old lair of the mandrill. As for your hundred-day money, if it is not a counterfeit -- then it is very likely that it rescued you. Otherwise, even if you can escape by yourself, don’t try to get those two students out.”

Mai Mai was still a little puzzled: "Why is it just called by name?"

Shao Jing frowned: "You'd better go to Baidu. It's good to read all kinds of legends and myths. A name has a spell on a person, especially a mandrill. Conversely, if you know that The mandrill's name, then calling it will break the illusion."

"Mandrills also have names?"

"Mandrill is just a general term for this kind of spirits, which are divided into several types. If you know their types, you can dispel illusions by calling them out."

"Then, what kind of mandrill is this?"

"How do I know, I didn't see it." Shao Jing stood up impatiently, "You said you are... so embarrassed and have so many problems! Why don't you rest at grandma's house for two more days and run with your arms hanging What are you doing back here?"

Wheat looks really messed up right now.Shoulder joint dislocation, needs to be immobilized for a few days, a large piece of skin was wiped off the palm of the hand, wrapped like a pig's trotter with gauze, a patch of bruises on the face, more bruises hidden under the clothes, and a little bit of a limp when walking abducted.Originally, he should really stay at grandma's house for a few more days, and the doctor's advice was not to do too much exercise for the time being, but he still rushed back in a long-distance bus: "Can you go and see Lin Jing?" For this matter.

"Lin Jing?" Shao Jing frowned, "That female student? What's wrong?"

"She has been unconscious." After being sent to the hospital, Mai Mai and Lu Yusheng woke up a few days later, only Lin Jing was still in a coma.The doctor couldn't give any reason for her coma, but said that her organs were failing. If she didn't wake up, she would be a vegetable at best, and she would die slowly if she was not.

"She was the first to disappear?"

"Yes. And she was still unwilling to leave. After waking up, she put on a paper dress. Neither Lu Yusheng nor I have it. Does it have anything to do with it?"

"Yes." Shao Jing pondered for a while, "The paper clothes are worn by the dead. When she wears them, her soul will be more likely to leave the body. I think that male student, even though he woke up, must have some aftereffects, right?"

"Yes. He was so groggy that he couldn't remember anything, and he just said he had a headache."

"I guess it will take a long time to recover. If part of his soul has been separated from his body, he will not be able to recover. As for the female student, I am afraid that all his soul has been separated from his body. There is no way to save him."

Mai Mai looked at him eagerly: "Can you go and see? She is in the hospital, not far from our place."

Shao Jing sighed helplessly: "You will never die until you reach the Yellow River. Okay, which hospital are you in?"

"I'll take you there!" Mai Mai stood up and grinned.Shao Jing went over to hold him up, not knowing whether to laugh or laugh, "Look at you! Have you asked for leave from the company?"

"...there is no company..." Mai Mai has been missing and lethargic for seven or eight days, and the company has fired him for absenteeism without reason.Fortunately, the boss at the pastry shop didn't fire him, otherwise he would be a vagrant again now.

"Unemployed again?" Shao Jing sneered, "It's fine. Seeing you like this, it's impossible to go to work."

"I have to go to the pastry shop..."

Shao Jing squinted his eyes and looked at him up and down: "Go like this? Bring your pig's trotters or bear's paws to serve snacks? Are you afraid of scaring away the boss's customers?"

Mai Mai thought bitterly: Why is this person so short-mouthed!

Lin Jing's parents are out of town, and now they have rushed to Binhai, where they are fighting with the school.Lin Jing's parents believed that the school should be responsible for their child's accident. However, the school knew that Lin Jing went out with her classmates privately and did not say hello to the school. Of course, the school could not be responsible. In the ward, with various instruments attached to his body, only the slight ups and downs of his chest showed that he was still alive.

Shao Jing just glanced through the glass and shook his head: "It's hopeless. The soul has been completely separated from the body, and even the best equipment can't last for a month."

Although he said at home that there was no way out, Maimai, who hadn't seen anyone, always had a little hope. Hearing him say it so bluntly now, it was as if a pot of cold water had been poured down.Although not familiar, but a lively girl died like this...

Shao Jing looked at him, and suddenly raised his hand to rub his head: "There is no need to do this, everyone has their own life, if you can save one, it is already very good."

Mai Mai looked up in surprise, he had never heard Shao Jing say such "comforting" words.Shao Jing looked at him a little unnaturally, and shook his hands: "Let's go, it's useless to hold on. Did the police ask you? What did you say? Didn't you think you were a victim?"

Mai Mai said honestly: "I told the truth, it seems that the police actually believed it."

Shao Jing sneered: "It is estimated that such a thing must have happened more than once in that place, of course I believe it."

"Then how do they close the case? Could it be that there is a mandrill calling the soul when it is reported?"

"of course."

Mai Mai was completely surprised: "Will the higher-ups believe it?"

"This kind of case will not be reported to the public security department."

"Then where should I report it?" If the Public Security Bureau doesn't report it to its superior department, where should it report it?

"Special Affairs Department."

"Special Affairs Department? Where?"

Shao Jing said casually: "It's the abbreviation of the Special Affairs Section, which specializes in dealing with supernatural incidents. You outsiders don't know it."

"Is there such a place?" Mai Mai suddenly remembered something, "By the way, the matter about Du Anni..."

"It has been found out that it is another model in her company."

"Have you checked it out? How did you check it out?"

Shao Jing sneered: "You haven't come back for more than a week. Could it be that things are waiting for you to come back to happen again? I went to the catwalk on the day of the catwalk. The model was a second-line model. They all said they had potential, but Wang Ting suppressed her. Another overseas returnee, Du Anni, was unconvinced, so she got this thing. On the day of the catwalk, she was about to attack Du Anni, but I caught her."

Mai Mai was very nervous: "Then what happened later? What does Fan Tsuna look like?"

Shao Jing said indifferently, "It's just a fox, what can it look like?"

"Then you took it - took it? Killed it?"

"Went out."

"Extinct? What do you mean?"

Shao Jing became impatient again: "If it's gone, it's gone, so what's the point! Why do you have so many questions?"

"So, what about the model? Where did she get this thing? What did you do with her?"

"You seem to be on the point of asking this question. She said she bought it on a website, but I looked for it according to the URL she provided, and there is no such website."

"She lied?"

"No. It's a special website. I've asked Zhou Qi to report the matter to the Internet. There is such a thing on the Internet. We must investigate. As for the model, Fan Gangshi is a kind of thing that can devour the master. She has actually been subject to It has been affected, and there have been signs of anorexia and mental weakness, and now... probably in the hospital for treatment. But it's hard to say whether it can be completely cured."

Mai Mai was dizzy from hearing this: "Is Fan Gangshi so powerful?"

Shao Jing sneered: "It's not that Fan Gang is powerful, it's that people who use this thing don't know how powerful they are. They don't have any spiritual power, and they dare to use shikigami casually. They deserve to be backlashed. That's fine, don't say a hundred thousand why Alright, get in the car and go home."

"I, I have to go to the pastry shop."

"You really want money rather than life?"

Mai Mai was a little annoyed: "Yeah, I'm a poor man. If I don't work for a day, I don't eat or drink, can't I? Besides, since I'm back, I have to tell the boss. I'm fine if I'm not fired. Going to say hello."

"Okay, okay." Shao Jing waved his hand impatiently, "Get in the car, I'll take you there. When you come back, you can take a taxi yourself, I have something else to do."

Mai Mai was going to ask Shao Jing to sarcasm again, but he ended the fight so unilaterally, which made him a little uncomfortable for a while, moved his lips a few times, but couldn't say anything, and got into the car with his arms in his hands .

Shao Jing drove the car all the way to the pedestrian street before stopping. Seeing Mai Mai get off the car clumsily, he showed kindness: "Either scare the customers in the store, I will pick you up in two hours." After finishing speaking, he did not wait for Mai Mai Answered, turned around and drove away.

Mai Mai moved into the shop, and as expected, the shop owner was startled when he saw him like this: "You, what's going on with you? Where did you fall?"

Mai Mai thought for a while, but he couldn't say anything about the mandrill, so he had to say that he fell while climbing a mountain.The boss shook his head: "You youngsters, just don't pay attention, look at how you fell like this..."

Mai Mai looked at the store, only the boss was so busy that beads of sweat dripped from his forehead: "Where is Zier?"

"Don't mention it!" The boss was so busy that his head was as big as a bucket, and he said angrily, "You were hurt by a fall. The girl said that her home was demolished. She wants to find a house to live in these few days, so she reluctantly runs away every morning. I'm as tired as a dog!"

Mai Mai felt guilty: "I'm sorry, boss, I..."

The boss gave him a white look: "Sorry for what? You fell on purpose? If you did it on purpose, I'll beat you right now!"

Several old customers in the store laughed: "Boss, the handsome guy has already become like this, you still have the heart to beat him up?"

The boss laughed: "Who says you can't keep beating? My daughter is not a few years younger than him, so if she doesn't obey, she will be beaten!"

Everyone laughed, laughing so that Mai Mai's face flushed.Today is not a weekend, and there are not too many people. After a while, there was no one in the store. The boss wiped his hands on the apron and said to Maizi: "By the way, Maizi, I have something to ask you. Do you want this?" shop?"

Mai Mai was startled: "What do you mean?"

"My wife's older sister is in Australia. She went there in the first two years to apply for a green card. I heard the news a few days ago and finally got it. Let me and my daughter immigrate there." The boss scratched his head, a little embarrassed, "Actually, I Well, I really feel like I’m at home. What’s the point of going to Australia, where I can’t even speak a word? But for the sake of my daughter, it’s better to go out. I can’t take this store anymore, but the house still has two years of rent. In the meantime, I have paid all the money, so I have to find someone to transfer it out. I asked the girl Zier, and she said she was saving money to move, and she couldn't pick it up. What about you? Are you interested?"

Mai Mai was stunned for a while before saying, "Well, how much does this cost?"

The boss did the math: "If it's just the rent, it's 8 yuan a year, but my equipment is worth some money, and it's worth [-] yuan. It's not my bragging. This store has been open for four years, and it still has a little reputation. You If we continue to sell snacks, it will be more convenient than opening a new store.”

Mai Mai murmured: "It's convenient, but, but I don't have that much money..."

The boss sighed, a little disappointed: "Actually, I think it's best to transfer it to you, and then sell dim sum. After all these years, I have a little affection. But you don't look like rich people. Forget it, I will sell it again." Find someone."

Wheat is not indifferent.He is now unemployed, and it will not be so easy to find another job.This store, as the boss said, has been open for four years, and already has a customer base, Guizier, and master chefs. It would be a good thing if it really took over.However, he really didn't have that much money.Grandma used more than half of the money he earned from stock trading last time. In his hands... there are basically only [-] yuan left, of which [-] yuan is Wei Yan's... Where can he ask him to raise [-] yuan?

"Boss, when are you going abroad?"

The boss saw what he meant: "It will take two or three months. In this way, I will give you a month. If you can get some clues in this month, I will not find anyone else."

Mai understood that the boss was giving him great convenience.Transferring a house, sometimes it can't be transferred for a few months if it's unlucky, and he really wants this store, but what about the money...
