Urban Night Returner

Xiao Zhengfan's house is in the "Consul's Washington Mansion" on Haiqing Road. It's a big and luxurious community with rockery and flowing water, and it's very quiet.Xiao Zhengfan bought the upper and lower floors here, and opened up the middle, which is more than 500 square meters.It's just that there are no living things except the silent servants, and the palace-style room is so lacking in popularity that it's frightening.

As soon as Xiao Nan entered the house, the servant came up and said, "Young Master, Miss Xin Xin came over this morning, but the Young Master is not here. Miss Xin Xin sat in your room for a while, then took a pillow or something, and asked the Young Master if he would go to her at night. Home?"

Xiao Nan waved impatiently: "I know, I know, let her take what she likes, and I will call her later." He looked nervous from the moment he entered his house, and whispered to Zhong Lecen and Shen Gu Admonition: "If you come across those three—three things, don't say that you are here to collect them. If you can't collect them, I'm afraid I will be unlucky."

Shen Gu ignored him.As soon as he entered the room, he felt that there was a foul smell in the room, but it was mixed with the sandalwood fragrance wafting around, making it difficult to distinguish.No matter how sensitive Shen Gu's sense of smell is, he is not a dog after all.

"What does your house smell like?"

"Oh, my mother worships the Bodhisattva and burns incense every day, in her own room."

Shen Gu didn't say anything, but sneered in his heart, it would be considered unlucky for any Bodhisattva to come to this house.

"No, there are other smells, stink!"

"No way?" Xiao Nan had a disbelieving expression on his face, "My mother loves to be clean, and never allowed the house to have a bad smell. If the servants don't clean it up, they will deduct money."

"Can we take a look at each room?" Zhong Lecen had already put on his glasses again, "Please put down all the curtains."

Xiao Nan was in a dilemma: "My dad's room is locked, so I can see everything except his room, okay?"

Zhong Lecen nodded: "Yes. It is estimated that the source of this thing is still with you, and it may have nothing to do with your father."

All the windows were pulled down, and the whole room was suddenly dark, Xiao Nan became nervous: "Do you want to turn on the light?"

"No." Zhong Lecen looked around carefully, "Just look at it like this, please lead the way."

In the dark, Xiao Nan stumbled and was nervous, almost every time he looked at a room he would ask: "Is there a problem?" But Zhong Lecen shook his head every time.After finally reading all the houses, Xiao Nan was so nervous that he was exhausted: "Is there any problem?"

Zhong Lecen took off his glasses and rubbed his eyes: "One thing is certain—they are not ghosts. There are no traces of ghosts in the house, and neither do you."

"Then what are they?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head: "I can't see it yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to identify them until I see them."

Xiao Nan was dissatisfied: "Isn't that the same as not saying anything? After tossing around all afternoon, you can see that it's not a ghost?"

Shen Gu gave him a cold look, and went to pull Zhong Lecen up: "Go, leave him alone."

Xiao Nan softened immediately.He could see that Shen Gu would really let it go, so he hurriedly worked hard on Zhong Lecen: "Don't, don't. Tianshi Zhong, I'm just in a hurry—you can't just ignore death..."

Zhong Lecen really couldn't.Sighing softly: "Okay, let's wait here for a while, I saw it, maybe we can have some clues."

This waited from afternoon to night.After dinner, Xiao Zhengfan and his wife hadn't come back yet, the servant packed up his things and went to rest, and the house was eerily quiet.The three sat in Xiao Nan's bedroom and continued to wait.Xiao Nan turned on the TV. In fact, he couldn't watch it even if he was restless, but he just felt that there was some movement and peace of mind.

Zhong Lecen was sitting on the sofa and hadn't slept since last night, when he began to doze off, his head slowly slid down from the back of the sofa.Shen Gu gently sat next to him, stretching out his arms to wrap his arms around his shoulders.Zhong Lecen reluctantly opened his eyes, Shen Gu touched his face lightly, and said softly: "Sleep, I will call you if there is any movement." Zhong Lecen looked at him blankly for a few seconds, closed his eyes and placed them on his shoulders. Moved: "Too hard."

Shen Gu tilted his body with a wry smile, and put his head on his chest: "Go to sleep."

Xiao Nan on the side watched until his eyes almost fell out, Shen Gu raised his chin expressionlessly to signal the TV, Xiao Nan took the remote control and turned off the TV in a numb manner.Shen Gu closed his eyes in satisfaction, leaning on the back of the sofa to rest his mind.

The room was very quiet, Shen Gu could clearly hear the long breathing on his chest, and Xiao Nan panting nervously.The time passed by one minute and one second, and the clock on the wall passed eleven o'clock and began to march towards twelve o'clock.Xiao Nan also fell asleep on another sofa.Shen Gu closed his eyes, listening to the rustling sound of the hands on the wall.When he was slightly sleepy, he heard the pointer click. It should be twelve o'clock.Almost at the same time, a very soft "huh?" suddenly came from the door. Shen Gu opened his eyes cleverly.The door was diagonally behind him, and he was facing the window. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a few figures reflected on the window glass, which disappeared in a blink of an eye.

As soon as he moved, Zhong Lecen also woke up: "What?"

Shen Gu jumped up: "There is someone!"

Xiao Nan woke up with a start: "Huh?" Shen Gu had already rushed to the door, but what he saw was an empty hall, the lights were still on, every corner could be seen, and there was no one there.Moreover, the door was tightly closed, and he never heard the sound of the door opening from the beginning to the end.

Xiao Nan rushed out, the drowsiness of sleepiness was gone: "What did you see?"

"Three figures." Shen Gu recalled.The glass was wiped very clean, and the reflected figures were very clear, "The three identical people disappeared after a flash."

"That's them!" Xiao Nan looked around nervously, "Where are they? Where are they?"

"No." Shen Gu looked around, and suddenly felt that the smell in the room seemed to be gone, at least, it was much weaker than when he first came here.

"Then what should we do?" Xiao Nan's nerves were too tense, and the meeting was already about to collapse.

Zhong Lecen thought for a while, and took out a piece of talisman paper folded into a triangle from his pocket, "Take this on your body for a try, and if those things still appear, call me again."

At the end of November, although Binhai has an oceanic climate, the wind is also chilly, and the sea breeze is extraordinarily hard.Zhong Lecen sneezed as soon as he got off the taxi.Shen Gu quickly took off his coat and wrapped him tightly, and asked as he walked upstairs: "What talisman did you give Xiao Nan, is it useful?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head: "It's useless. That is the Zhanling Talisman. If those three things are still haunting him, they will leave some clues on the Zhanling Talisman."

Shen Gu thought: "You say it's not a ghost, but is it a monster? Otherwise, go ask Zuo Jian."

Zhong Lecen's eyelids were heavy, and he nodded his head while going upstairs: "Okay, go ask."

Shen Gu hugged him with one arm, and took out the key to open the door with the other. As soon as the light was turned on, he stopped suddenly, pulled Zhong Lecen behind with one hand, and held Jin Tiezhiying with the other.Zhong Lecen was taken aback by him: "What's wrong?"

Shen Gu looked around the room for a moment before relaxing: "The dog ghost is gone."

Zhong Lecen snorted, and saw that there was only a chain and a collar left on the ground, and the cut was as smooth as a chip: "It seems that the ten-handed sword is really on it."

"Run away, so I don't have to worry about it at home." Shen Gu saw Zhong Lecen's head nodding again, and took off his coat for him: "Hurry up and wash your face and sleep."

Zhong Lecen yawned and went into the bathroom, Shen Gu pondered for a while, then took out the quilt and spread it on the sofa.Zhong Lecen came out after washing, looked at the quilt on the sofa, pursed his lips and said nothing, and went straight into the bedroom.Shen Gu secretly sighed, went to take a shower very depressed, and stuffed himself into the sofa.After a while, Zhong Lecen whispered in the bedroom: "Tomorrow I will go to see Feifei."

Shen Gu thought about the meaning, and tentatively asked: "Shall I go with you?" There was no movement in the bedroom, and Shen Gu was slightly relieved—well, this is considered an agreement.

Feifei is still lying on the bed in the guest room of Konghua's house.Konghua said that he slept for fifty hours before waking up, but he was still dizzy and dared not get off the ground.Zhong Lecen felt his pulse and nodded: "The soul has been out of the body for too long, and it's a bit difficult to get back at first, it will be fine in a few days."

Feifei leaned on the pillow and moaned, dizzy and thirsty for a while, the veins on Pai Gow's forehead were obviously throbbing, but she managed to hold it back and waited back and forth.Zhong Lecen shook his head as he watched, and took a moment to whisper, "Okay, you're not that serious."

Feifei half-closed her eyes and snorted: "It's all his fault! And it won't last for a few days. He will leave tomorrow."

Zhong Lecen sighed: "It's up to you. By the way, how did you get in at that time?"

Feifei opened her eyes: "I don't know! At that time, the moon was shining on that thing, and I saw that the top of the door was shining, as if there was light coming from it. On the top of the door was the word "Ghost Gate". Suddenly, it was as if someone strangled my neck and dragged me forward, and I fell in. When I got up, I came to a street. I felt something was wrong, but why? I can’t find my way back either. I talk to the people next to me, but who knows it’s okay if I don’t talk, but as soon as I talk, someone comes over and drags me away. I can’t break free, and my feet don’t seem to listen to me , kept walking. Then I seemed to hear someone calling me, so I slowed down when I called, until the guy caught up later. The person who was pulling me wanted to pull him, but I didn't see clearly that he threw the What is it, those people backed away in fright, and then he brought me back. I still want to ask, Brother Le Cen, what is that thing?"

Zhong Lecen sighed: "Didn't you say it just now? That's the gate of hell."

"Is that the gate of ghosts?" Feifei's eyes almost fell out, "Then those who drag me are all ghosts?"

"Yes. If Mr. Shao hadn't brought you back, you would really—"

"Mr. Shao?"

"Yes. His name is Shao Fei."

Feifei threw her head back on the pillow: "I don't care if he is a young flyer or an old flyer, it has nothing to do with me. But when will I get better?"

"Do you think the separation of the soul is a trivial matter? Take a good rest, at least one month can't be tired, let alone drink."

As soon as Feifei heard it, she became anxious: "One month? It's Christmas in one month! I have to launch a new product at the Christmas dinner!"

Kong Hua came in from the door, and said through the interface: "There is no need to push any new products, this year is only Christmas, you should have a good rest."

Feifei was even more anxious: "How can you miss Christmas? The Christmas period is the most profitable time."

Pai Gow came over with water, and interjected: "Have a good rest, you, make money, make money, and lose your life?"

Feifei sneered: "Of course. We are poor. If we don't work for a day, we don't have food for a day. We are no older than you, and we have plenty of money!"

The veins on Pai Gow's forehead popped again, and he put the water on the bedside table without making a sound.Konghua rubbed his temples with his fingers: "No, I also want to take a vacation. Don't worry, the salary will still be paid. You can rest well and don't worry about earning Christmas money."

Feifei was a little surprised: "Boss, are you on a long vacation? What about the hospital?"

Konghua's face was tired: "There are people in the hospital, I want to leave Binhai and go to other places. Xiaoxi said that she wants to go to Beijing, this girl, Beijing is dry, cold and windy in winter, she insists on going. "

Zhong Lecen looked at him worriedly: "Kong Hua, you are because..."

Konghua smiled wryly: "You all know? It's okay, I'll go out and relax."

Pai Gow frowned: "Then who will take care of it?"

Feifei gave him a blank look: "You treat me as my pampered young master? I will take care of myself."

Konghua also glared at him: "Don't be brave. I won't leave now, we'll talk about it when you feel better. If it doesn't work, let Six O'clock also move here."

Feifei groaned: "Forget it, six o'clock is messier than me. He moved here, and he doesn't know who will take care of whom."

Konghua couldn't laugh or cry.Zhong Lecen thought for a while: "If you go to Beijing, Konghua, you can find Leyang if you need anything."

Kong Hua smiled: "Is he in Beijing? Well, you can go and listen to him play the violin when you are free."

Zhong Lecen felt that his smile was not much better than crying, and his eye circles were blue, and he obviously had trouble sleeping: "Konghua, let me prescribe a prescription for you, it will help you sleep."

Konghua lowered his head and smiled: "Okay, open it, I'll take it to Beijing to drink. This time I plan to take a few more days off, maybe I won't come back until after the New Year."

Zhong Lecen nodded: "It's good to relax."

Kong Hua saw that Pai Gow and Shen Gu were not in the room, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong with you and——? What happened?"

Zhong Lecen also lowered his head, and said after a long time: "It's actually nothing, I'm thinking too much."

Feifei asked heartlessly: "What's wrong with Brother Shen, are you having an affair?"

Kong Hua hit back his head and said, "Nonsense!"

Feifei rubbed her head: "Then what's going on?"

Zhong Lecen thought for a while, then suddenly smiled: "Well, it can be considered that he is not dedicated, but it is a matter of the last life." His last few words were soft and low, Feifei and Konghua didn't hear .Feifei was filled with indignation: "What? Did he cheat?"

Zhong Lecen laughed: "Stop talking nonsense, it's fine."

Shen Gu didn't know that he had been labeled as a "split" and was talking to Pai Gow in the corridor: "When will you go back?"

Pai Gow smiled self-deprecatingly: "Well, I will go back tomorrow and resign. The old man has found someone else, and he won't let me do it anymore. I heard that my elder brother told him that now private detectives are gray, and the old man will Pinched me back."

Shen Gu nodded: "That's right, it's fine if you don't do this."

Pai Gow sneered: "Thanks to my elder brother for his kindness. I'll go through the resignation procedures and come back."

Shen Gu was slightly surprised: "Come back?"

Pai Gow nodded, and pointed to the room: "Isn't there no one to take care of it? Anyway, I took the things, and I have the responsibility. Besides, stay away from the old man, so that he won't get angry when he sees me."

Shen Gu sighed: "It's almost enough, after all, it's your father."

Pai Gow didn't speak, just lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and finally said: "Group leader, I really didn't expect that you would also enter this circle."

Shen Gu smiled: "Don't call me the team leader, and I won't do it anymore. You boy, call me brother honestly. What's wrong with entering this circle, did it scare you?"

Pai Gow lowered his head, smiled suddenly, and exaggeratedly put his arms around his shoulders: "I regret it! If I had known you would be bent too, I might as well bend you!"

Shen Gu still didn't know much about these words, guessed the meaning, and slapped Pai Gow on the back with a smile: "Nonsense!"

Pai Gow hung him up and held his heart together: "Brother, you hurt my heart too much. Hey, don't hit me, I'm hurt internally! I said, brother, who is my sister-in-law who can bring us into the house?" Ghost gate? Don't keep hiding, tell brother."

Shen Gu hesitated for a moment: "He is a celestial master and is said to be a descendant of Zhong Kui."

Pai Gow stared wide-eyed: "Zhong Kui? Is there really such a person?"

Shen Gu spread his hands.Pai Gow stroked his chin: "Good guy, you have a background. Hey, I said brother, I forgot, since my sister-in-law can take us into the gate of hell, can you find the captain?"

Shen Gu was stunned for a moment: "You boy, you can think about it! Wait for me to go back and ask. But, don't bark like sister-in-law and sister-in-law anymore, don't make trouble for me!"

Pai Gow smiled bitterly: "Okay, you can do whatever you say. Well, if you can find the captain, let me know, I want to meet him too."
