chilling

The man in the black windbreaker leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, holding a small glass bottle in his hand.The baby spirit in the bottle curled up and slept peacefully, but it will wake up soon.A slender figure stood quietly behind the sofa, with its head bowed, waiting for orders from its superiors. The black windbreaker held up the glass bottle, shined it on the light for a while, and then threw the bottle back casually. into a pair of outstretched hands.

"Go ahead," he said.

The owner of those hands didn't say a word, just nodded slightly, and walked away quickly holding the glass bottle.

This glass bottle was the last piece of stock they got from the keeper of the cold storage. Du Xiaoyuan's subordinates were really not too dull. The moment he realized the crisis, he had already locked most of the baby spirits into the cold storage.If Yu Xiasheng took someone to count the number of baby spirits in the cold storage now, he would find that there were a lot more baby spirits—all of them were taken away and then put back.

However, even if the unused baby spirits are asked to be put back by the gatekeepers, the ones that have become waste cannot appear out of thin air, and the total number of baby spirits is still reduced.Hei Fengyi took a sip of wine leisurely, and raised his glass to the bright crystal chandelier.He was very sure that Yu Xiasheng would not be able to discover the lack of the last glass bottle, and as long as Yu Xiasheng could not, their plan would be successful.

The grandfather clock in the hall rang, the small door opened, and a mechanical bird flew out of the door with its wings flapping, making a clear and loud cry.It dutifully tells the time for its master, and now it is the hour again, and it is already late at night.

Calculating the time, the unflattering gatekeeper has probably turned into a corpse now, and he will also be locked in the cold storage.From now on, it will be very difficult to start with cold storage.After this change, even if Yu Xiasheng does not increase the number of guards guarding the cold storage, the gatekeeper must be replaced by a more honest and credible one.Hei Fengyi raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, put the empty goblet on the dining table, and returned to the house through the corridor.He seemed to be in a good mood and hummed a little tune, but the tune was too weird.It echoed in the empty big house, like an unknown wandering spirit holding a dance party, playing scary music.

If you fall into this pit, the wisest choice is to learn a lesson and not fall in the same place a second time.After living for decades, Yu Xia already possessed the wisdom to survive. After personally leading someone to count the quantity of the stored items in the cold storage, he waved his hand and decisively assigned the post of gatekeeper to the artificial intelligence.

AI is a good thing, and as long as it's in the right hands, it can be of great help.Yu Xiasheng sat on the computer chair, turned around once in a while, and then moved the mouse to test the sensitivity of the new "gatekeeper".

The picture on the screen was very clear. Yu Xiasheng saw the elevator door slowly open, and a mouse ran out of the elevator.It thought it was about to be free, but what greeted it was a beam of red light.The red light flashed for a moment, and the little white mouse fell to the ground without saying a word. The cold iron tongs stretched out from the elevator, clamped its tail and dragged it back into the elevator.

Yu Xiasheng nodded in satisfaction, and pressed another button.The elevator door closed, and opened again after just 2 minutes. This time, it was not a mouse, but a sweeping robot that Du Xiaoyuan bought some time ago.

Compared with the new gatekeeper of the cold storage, Du Xiaoyuan's sweeping robot is simply an artificial mental retardation. This is not the first time that Yu Xiasheng saw it sweeping the floor and "swept" himself.He had long thought that the thing Du Xiaoyuan bought was useless, but this time he finally found a suitable reason to call it dead in line of duty.

Du Xiaoyuan didn't doubt the motive of Yu Xiasheng's proposal at all, all she could think about was how to strengthen the defense of the cold storage, so as to prevent similar incidents from happening again.Yu Xiasheng is very good at carrying private goods and using his power for personal gain. Fortunately, he is not a corrupt official, otherwise he would be able to steal most of the public property and fill his own pockets with just his thoughts.

The poor sweeping robot can't think, and hasn't realized what kind of crisis it is about to face.Its eyes glowed red, and it screamed, and the four wheels turned slowly, leading it into the cold storage.The red light appeared again, it swept across the robot, and suddenly fired a shot, directly blasting the unlucky robot in the head.A flurry of sparks exploded from the robot, and the robot's red eyes went out.

Eliminating the blinding artificial mental retardation, Yu Xiasheng is in a good mood. From now on, he no longer has to be chased and beaten by this stupid thing wielding a broom.Small things like sweeping the floor can be done by people themselves without the help of robots.

Holding a water glass, Yu Qiuliang limped over.He was beaten up by Lu Huaiming, and his delicate buttocks were aching, which made him mistakenly think that he was back to the age when he was spanked when he didn't agree with each other.At the age of 17, he was still beaten like this by others. If he said it, he would feel ashamed.

Fortunately, Chu Xiaohan didn't seem to have a big mouth, and besides Yu Xiasheng and the others, no other people or ghosts knew him. Even if Chu Xiaohan wanted to speak out, he couldn't find anyone to listen to.Yu Qiuliang gasped hissingly, the resentment in his heart was hard to calm down, he hated Yu Xiasheng for not stopping him, but sending him into Lu Huaiming's claws, so now he sees what Yu Xiasheng does, and feels that the other party is wrong.

"He is ruthless and doesn't care for small animals." Yu Qiuliang said when he saw Yu Xiasheng experimenting with mice.

"Waste money, don't be thrifty." Yu Qiuliang said when he saw Yu Xiasheng eliminate the artificial mental retardation.

Yu Xiasheng was worried that he could not know the ability level of the new gatekeeper in a more comprehensive and specific way, so Yu Qiuliang threw himself into the trap and sent him to the door.There is a way to heaven and he doesn’t go, but there is no way to hell, he goes to it. Yu Xiasheng grinned, took out a card from his pocket, and said excitedly: “Go, swipe the card and take the elevator.”

"What are you doing!" Seeing his smile, Yu Qiuliang's hair stood on end.He didn't forget that the little white mouse and the unlucky robot both got out of the elevator, Yu Xiasheng told him to take the elevator now, [-]% didn't have good intentions.The old ghost was so insane that he didn't hesitate to experiment with people. It seems that he really didn't recognize his relatives, and he transformed into a complete pervert.

Yu Qiuliang vowed to die, but he couldn't resist Yu Xiasheng's violent methods.Taking advantage of the fact that he had just been beaten and had trouble moving, Yu Xiasheng picked him up and sent him into the elevator himself.Yu Qiuliang slammed on the elevator door in horror, thinking that he might see heaven soon.

Under his slap, the elevator door opened without disappointing expectations, and the air-conditioning roared in, making Yu Qiuliang shiver.Yu Xiasheng was so cruel, and he didn't know how to add a coat to him. With this temperature, he was frozen to death before being electrocuted.

"On the right side of the elevator, swipe the card." Yu Xiasheng gave a timely reminder, Yu Qiuliang rubbed his arms, raised his hand tremblingly, and swiped the card on the right side of the elevator.With the sound of "beep", the air conditioner weakened, and all the lights were turned on. Yu Qiuliang jumped back as if startled, and found that the stairs not far ahead were blocked by cement .

Yu Xiasheng moved quickly, he was determined to block the other entrances and exits of the cold storage, leaving only the elevator.Yu Qiuliang doesn't know much about his design style, let alone architectural art. Yu Qiuliang only knows that the old ghost is fast and swift in his work.

With the determination to die, Yu Qiuliang stepped out of the elevator door, squinting his eyes, waiting for the electric shock to come.He always felt that Yu Xiasheng was deliberately trying to trick him, and he was even a little wronged: Look, Yu Xiasheng will save Du Xiaoyuan who is not injured, but he will show no mercy to him who is injured.

The expected electric shock did not appear, and Yu Qiuliang had Yu Xiasheng's card in his hand, so he was safe.

"You didn't get out of the elevator, why did you go out!" Yu Xiasheng just lowered his head and wrote two words on the paper, but when he looked up again, he found that Yu Qiuliang had already got out of the elevator.He was so frightened that he almost kicked over the computer table on the spot.He just wanted Yu Qiuliang to swipe the card to see if the card tube didn't work. The kid didn't wear a coat, so why did he go into the cold storage to blow air?Without thinking about it, he immediately ordered: "Go upstairs!"

"What the hell! You were the one who let me go down, and you were the one who let me go up. Why don't you speak up, why are you shouting so loudly!" Yu Qiuliang frowned, and jumped back into the elevator like a bunny.The cold storage is full of ghosts, and it is too dark. If he stands in the cold storage for a second longer, he feels that there are more eyes behind him.

Fortunately, the elevator worked very quickly, and he reached the top of the building almost instantly.Thanks to artificial intelligence, thanks to high technology, let him save a dog's life.Yu Qiuliang ran out of the elevator as if fleeing, crashed into Yu Xiasheng's office, rushed into the ball of quilt on the sofa, and wrapped himself into a silkworm chrysalis.The plump and white silkworm baby's teeth were chattering, and the arrogance of criticizing Yu Xiasheng angrily just now disappeared without a trace.The current Yu Qiuliang is just a bear, without any heroic spirit.

Yu Xiasheng thought his appearance was funny, so he left the computer desk, sat beside him and patted his back, which was supposed to comfort his young heart.Yu Qiuliang got goosebumps all over his body from the cold, and even forgot the pain in his buttocks.The cold can numb the human body and make people forget the pain, but the extreme cold can bring pain.If anything is excessive, something bad will happen.

The old ghost was still considerate, he reached into the quilt and grabbed Yu Qiuliang's hand accurately.Before Yu Qiuliang had time to think about what he was going to do, he felt his hands being gently rubbed and gradually warmed up.The heat spread from the fingertips all the way to the heart, and Yu Qiuliang let out a long breath of satisfaction.

Immediately afterwards, Yu Xiasheng's next sentence made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave.Yu Xiasheng rubbed his hands, and suddenly asked, "How many days are you on vacation?"

"What do you think?" Yu Qiuliang gritted his teeth and asked back, "Do you think there may be a holiday in the third year of high school?"

It turns out that the current high school seniors have almost no winter vacation.Yu Xiasheng pondered for a moment, and finally realized the misery of Yu Qiuliang's life.Of course, this is only part of Yu Qiuliang's gloomy life, there are many more painful things than this.Yu Xiasheng stopped talking. He originally wanted to ask Yu Qiuliang why he was running around every day, but now it seems that it is better not to ask.

If he chooses to ask this question, then he will reap Yu Qiuliang's hatred.It was a wise choice for him to keep silent in time.

Not being able to be quiet for a long time, Du Xiaoyuan's call came again.She is also really strange, she is downstairs and Yu Xiasheng is upstairs, and they can meet each other within a few steps, yet she wants to call and ask someone to come downstairs.Yu Xiasheng answered the phone, secretly guessing that Du Xiaoyuan might think that the phone bill was too hot, and was in a hurry to consume part of the phone bill.

In fact, Du Xiaoyuan was just busy. After Yu Xiasheng answered the phone, he immediately heard a clear knocking sound from her side.She tapped on the keyboard, she was chasing something, and her typing was rhythmic and artistic. After listening to it for a while, Yu Xiasheng forgot the words. He felt that Du Xiaoyuan's keyboard sound could be called "performance art".

"It's all done according to what you said, but are you sure you didn't make a mistake?" Du Xiaoyuan finished typing the text, stopped, and rubbed his sore wrist.If she continued to work like this for years and years, her wrist might break from exhaustion one day.

Yu Qiuliang poked his head out from under the quilt, watching Yu Xiasheng's expression vigilantly, preparing to catch a trace of strange expression on his face, and make a big fuss about it.But Yu Xiasheng's expression was as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it. He just hooked the corners of his mouth, explained a few words, and hung up the phone.

Talk more and make mistakes, but talking less doesn’t necessarily mean less mistakes. If the other party wants to catch your mistakes, then even if you shut up and don’t speak, he will still say that you despise him and disrespect his personality.Yu Qiuliang looked at Yu Xia with a smile, and became more and more angry. He gave the old ghost a vicious look, and asked, "You are very happy that she called you, aren't you?"

"Who's happy?" Yu Xiasheng said, "I think you're just out of vacation, looking for things for me all day long."

In fact, Yu Qiuliang didn't have a holiday at all today, he was still making up lessons, and he was still far away from winter vacation.Yu Xiasheng was not very clear about their school's arrangements, so he forgot that he was skipping class.The speaker didn't mean it, but the listener meant it. Yu Qiuliang choked on this sentence, thinking more and more that the old ghost was targeting him, calling him a disobedient and bad boy.

"I can't do anything right." Yu Qiuliang's tone was sour, as if he had drunk several vats of old vinegar.Yu Xiasheng was almost stumped by the sour smell, but smiled while leaning on the arm of the sofa.Or it can be said that raising children is sometimes very interesting. Seeing Yu Qiuliang's jealousy from time to time, what is "very interesting" is clearly the source of happiness.
