The Celestial Master of Time Traveling
Chapter 164 The Cartoonist Who Forcibly Stays in the World [2 More]
When Zhuang Xian and Jiang Yuxuan rushed back, Lou Xuan and Zhuang Mengdie had already done a trick for Zhuang Jingcheng, and he had already fixed his soul.Lou Xuan was at the side clearing away evil spirits, and Zhuang Mengdie was taking care of Zhuang Jingcheng who was still sleeping.
"I didn't expect that the backer Zhou Yong found was a coward who could only rely on terror and suppression to control his subordinates. His biggest hobby is eating women, but he is already cold."
Zhuang Xian tied a colorful rope around Zhuang Jingcheng's wrist.
"Mengdie, Ah Xuan, take good care of Dad. Xuan'er and I need to continue to search for the source of the urban legend based on the clues left by that guy."
But Lou Xuan stood up: "We have already found it, come with me to meet."
Early the next morning, Lou Xuan led Zhuang Xian and Jiang Yuxuan to Qi City No. [-] Prison.
The thin man was waiting in the visiting room with a calm expression.If it weren't for the fact that he was wearing a prison uniform, no one would think this man was a habitual thief.
"Officer Lou, what do you want me to do this time?" The man's tone was very brisk, "The last time I asked for help, it solved my living expenses for a whole year."
"If you can help us this time, it will be a major meritorious service." Lou Xuan sat down and picked up the microphone, "Don't you want to go out early? Not only can you do that, but you can also be rewarded."
The man smiled: "It seems that I need to find a way to get something out."
"Didn't your grandmother like to collect folk stories? Who did she listen to?" Lou Xuan waved his hand, denying the man's idea. "Urban legends lead to the materialization of fictional monsters, and many people have died because of it."
The man spread his hands: "I can only steal things. Collecting folklore is my grandma's hobby. I can only be sure that she is not the first person who has heard stories."
Seeing a flash of disappointment in Lou Xuan's eyes, he went on to say: "There is a cartoonist who visited a person in order to express weird images. That person has an original manuscript."
Seeing the man's eyes flicker, Lou Xuan hung up the phone.The man did not continue to speak, but gestured and gave him an address.
"If you succeed in catching ghosts this time, I will apply to your superiors for a commutation of your sentence and a bonus." Lou Xuan immediately got up, ready to meet that person.
But the man asked the prison guard to pass a note to him: "That man is not normal, if you need the key, you have to rely on me."
The formalities were completed quickly, the man led the way, and the group came to a remote countryside, passed a cemetery, and finally squeezed into a narrow alley.
"That cartoonist, didn't he really encounter a ghost?" Zhuang Xian couldn't help shaking his head when he saw the layout of the house here. "It's weird everywhere."
"Brother, you understand quite well." The man handed over a cigarette, "Hongqiqu, don't be disgusted."
Zhuang Xian just smiled: "I don't smoke, it hurts my lungs."
The man didn't say anything, and took a big sip by himself.Jiang Yuxuan felt choking, so Zhuang Xian quickly used his spiritual power to disperse the smoke.
"It seems that he has real skills, is he a Taoist priest?" The man couldn't help admiring him, and went up to shake hands. "To tell you the truth, the cartoonist has actually been dead for a year. If you want to ask questions, you need a psychic."
As soon as they spoke, they had already arrived at the door of the cartoonist's house.
The man pointed to the couplet that had been peeled off long ago: "This is what he posted last year. It was only after August [-]th, when he came home, the family dog kept barking, and the family said that his feet did not touch the ground. Soak your feet when you get home."
"He is a family-oriented person. Even though he died, he never forgot to go home to eat mooncakes." Zhuang Xian looked at the threshold, "This year's mooncake on August [-]th is a blue and white porcelain snow mooncake."
"Yes, it was spread by his fans, saying that he bought blue and white porcelain snow moon cakes home. His wife loves snow moon cakes the most." The man sighed, "That woman is very beautiful and capable. She was widowed at a young age. There is a daughter who is only one month old, poor."
Seeing him take out a black hairpin, Zhuang Xian was puzzled: "There are no living people in his house at this time, so I can enter the house and look for him directly by using my magic power..."
"More than one Taoist priest has died inside, Master, don't take any risks." The man held the hairpin, and after one operation, the door was pried open. "His family's dog was given away a long time ago, but dead chickens, dead ducks and the like appear inexplicably every night. His family only raises pigs, no chickens or ducks."
The door has already been opened, so Zhuang Xian simply went to check the situation first: "When will the woman of this family come home from get off work?"
"Women are full-time wives, so it's time to go grocery shopping." The man hid behind Zhuang Xian, "I heard that although her husband died, the manga has not stopped publishing, and the woman can still earn enough living expenses."
Zhuang Xian checked carefully in the room, except for a pair of paper-made shoes hidden under the bed, he found nothing unusual.He wanted to continue looking, when he heard a woman's voice outside: "Honey, the door is open."
This man is a godly thief. After picking the lock, the door has been closed normally without leaving any traces.Zhuang Xian and the others hid behind the closet, listening to the movement outside.
A tall and handsome man appeared out of nowhere in the yard, walked over to open the door, and took the things from the woman's hand: "Don't go out alone in the future, I'm too tired."
"As long as you and your children can make the most favorite meals, it's okay to go to a few more vegetable markets." The woman was going to wash the vegetables, and the man followed behind to help.
He sat aside and peeled garlic: "It's time for me to go to the child's parent meeting."
Of course he would not be asked to go out, the woman took his hand and sent him to the study: "You just need to finish drawing the manga."
The man just gave him a gentle smile, and went to paint obediently.
When the woman cooked the meal, she didn't ask her husband to eat with her, but sent it to the study and asked him to eat alone.After eating, the woman brought hot water to help him soak his feet.
The man never saw his daughter, and the daughter never saw her father, even though there was only one wall between them.
"This man probably didn't know that he died a long time ago. His wife just used spiritualism to force him to stay in the world." Zhuang Xian planned to find a cartoonist alone after the whole family fell asleep. "He hasn't done anything bad, and I don't need to get rid of him."
"Master, I suddenly remembered something." Just as he was about to leave, the thief said suddenly. "This cartoonist was actually blind during his lifetime."
"That means that the body is disabled and the mind is strong. It is really admirable to draw big-selling works like that." Only then did Zhuang Xian notice that this virtuous wife is not beautiful, even a bit ugly.
However, he can see the stars from the cartoonist's eyes, which shows that the couple has no worldly prejudices and is a true love that should be blessed.
The thief didn't say anything more, Zhuang Xian waited patiently for the whole family to fall asleep, and then found the cartoonist alone.
"I'm sorry to disturb Teacher Tian in the middle of the night." Of course Zhuang Xian would not go directly to this man, he knocked on the door outside.
Although Teacher Tian was a little dissatisfied with the people who disturbed him late at night, he still let Zhuang Xian and the others into the house.
He just brought over the tea and continued to draw: "Feel free, I still have a manuscript to finish."
"We have something to ask Teacher Tian." Lou Xuan put down his teacup, "It is related to the recent supernatural case in Qi City, I hope Teacher Tian can help us."
Teacher Tian frowned slightly, and put down the brush: "A supernatural case?"
"Teacher, have you ever come into contact with real events for inspiration?" Lou Xuan was eager to know the truth, so he directly told what he had heard.
Teacher Tian was a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell why he was uncomfortable.
Covering his forehead, he didn't want to continue talking to these uninvited guests: "I have a headache, I want to rest for a while, gentlemen, please go home early."
"Since the teacher is uncomfortable, we won't bother you." Zhuang Xian could see that Teacher Tian didn't know the fact that he was a ghost, and he didn't want to provoke him, so he dragged him away. "Let's bother the teacher again in a few days."
On the way, Lou Xuan became a little dissatisfied: "He must have personally experienced supernatural events, how can we give up? If we don't solve the problem, more innocent citizens will die!"
"Didn't you see that Tian Wenliang didn't know that he was dead?" Zhuang Xian sat in the back seat, "Director Lou, don't you know that a person who doesn't know that he is dead suddenly finds that he has become a Damn..."
"Death is irreversible..."
"If he can't accept this fact, who can guarantee that he won't go crazy? We must not take the initiative to cause trouble." Zhuang Xian immediately refuted Lou Xuan, "I'll go buy supper later, and we'll go back."
"I still have to eat at night..." Lou Xuan couldn't help muttering.
"Drive well, and I won't allow you to see Mengdie if you beep again."
"Threat me again with Mengdie!"
"You two, do I have a share of this supper?" The thief looked forward with anticipation, "I can only eat prison food every day, so I want a change."
"Yes." Zhuang Xian pointed to Lou Xuan, "Anyway, he pays, so tell him what you want to eat."
Lou Xuan protested: "I want to drive again, and I have to treat you to dinner. No, brother, you have plenty of money, and I will only eat for dinner tonight."
"That's it. After Xuan'er came back, I insisted on handing in my bank card, and I was not allowed to have private money..." Zhuang Xian was a little embarrassed, and he hesitated in speaking.
Lou Xuan didn't give face at all, and laughed: "I didn't expect that a black-hearted boss who is good at embezzling employees will be punished by someone, it should be."
"I said Lou Heitan, you may have to hand in your salary card in the future, don't rush to laugh at me." Zhuang Xian protested with folded arms.
Lou Xuan hummed and drove, gloating to the end, leaving Zhuang Xian alone in a mess.
The thief couldn't help but patted him on the shoulder, expressing his condolences: "If Master is willing, let's go out and do a ticket together, and we will make a lot of money."
"You two, don't think about going out to do illegal things." Lou Xuan immediately issued a warning. "Let me tell you, brother-in-law, if Xuanxuan doesn't want you, don't regret it."
"Stop talking about that, I'm hungry now, hurry up and turn the corner in the alley ahead, and go buy Malatang!"
The author's gossip: I will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. There are not enough manuscripts these days, so the update will not be particularly timely.But daily updates will be guaranteed, I hope everyone will continue to support me.
"I didn't expect that the backer Zhou Yong found was a coward who could only rely on terror and suppression to control his subordinates. His biggest hobby is eating women, but he is already cold."
Zhuang Xian tied a colorful rope around Zhuang Jingcheng's wrist.
