In the early morning, Zou Hao returned to the rental house after get off work, took a nice hot shower, and was just about to go to bed when his phone vibrated suddenly.Zou Hao picked up his mobile phone and saw that it was a message from Chen Sanyan, the captain of the security team: "Xiao Zou, this week's schedule has changed, and you and Zheng Cheng will start working the day shift tomorrow."

Zou Hao lost all sleepiness, sat up from the bed, and called Chen Sanyan: "Brother Yan, are you dissatisfied with my job?" Zou Hao has been working in Baishi Building for half a year and has been working hard since Nothing went wrong.This time when something was lost on the 18th floor, he wanted to catch the murderer more quickly than anyone else.

"Xiao Zou, it's not that I'm dissatisfied, it's that there is a temporary adjustment. Are you reluctant to part with the 50 yuan night shift fee? I discussed with the leader, and the wages of the two of you are still calculated according to the night shift." Chen Sanyan worked for more than ten years Nian Baoan, a well-known good old man, has always taken care of young people like them.

"Brother Yan, it's not about money. Did someone tell you about 1801?" Zou Hao asked. "Give me another two days, and I will definitely catch that thief."

"I heard what Zheng Lili said, but their leader said that this matter should be handled by them. Let's not interfere with the affairs of other companies." Chen Sanyan said earnestly.

Zou Hao was still not reconciled: "But—"

"Okay, okay, don't be upset anymore, you also understand my difficulties. You have been up all night, go to bed quickly." Chen Sanyan hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

Zou Hao angrily wrapped himself in the quilt, tossed and turned for half an hour, finally fell asleep.The wooden talisman that Li Yifan gave him couldn't find a place to put it, so he hung it on his phone as a pendant for the time being, and put it under the pillow when he slept.

When I woke up, the sky was full of sunset outside the window.Zou Hao ate some beef noodles in the restaurant downstairs, after thinking about it, he decided to visit the company.

Zou Hao pedaled a shared bicycle to the entrance of Baishi Building. He had already parked the bicycle and planned to go in, but suddenly felt that something was wrong.Standing downstairs and pondering for a long time, Zou Hao finally found out the source of his strange feeling - Baishi Building has a total of 24 floors, housing hundreds of companies, large and small, it is inevitable that several companies will work overtime every day, and it will still be bright at night Light up.But today, it was just after seven o'clock, and the windows of the whole building were completely dark.There are still such auspicious days in the world, and no one works overtime?

Zou Hao was full of doubts, and walked through the lobby on the first floor to the security room, wanting to see who Chen Sanyan had arranged to work the night shift for him.The door of the security room was locked. Zou Hao knocked twice, but no one responded, so he took out his key and opened the door.The security room was also empty, with no one in sight, and even the surveillance system was turned off.

This is really strange.Zou Hao turned on the monitoring power, and the screens on the TV wall lit up one by one, and the whole building was indeed empty, completely empty.

Zou Hao was about to make a phone call to Chen Sanyan to find out what was going on, when the monitoring screen in the lower right corner suddenly moved, he took a closer look and saw that it was Li Yifan's sapphire blue Mercedes driving into the underground garage.After the car came to a complete stop, Li Yifan and Zhou Yunling got down, opened the trunk and took out some Bai Yingying's belongings.

Zou Hao stared at the screen for a long time before he realized that they were paper figurines and soul-calling banners used in rural practices.Zou Hao couldn't figure it out, isn't Li Yifan a brilliant student who graduated from a famous Ivy League school in the United States, a bright young man with a bright future, how could he touch these feudal superstitions?

Li Yifan and Zhou Yunling took out several bags, large and small, and entered the elevator.The red numbers above the buttons rise one by one, and finally stop at the 18th floor.Zou Hao confirmed that the two of them got out of the elevator, immediately put on a flashlight, and decided to go to the 18th floor to find out.

As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, Zou Hao saw that the door of 1801 was wide open, and Zhou Yunling was standing in the corridor holding a banner and paper figurines.

"Yunling, what are you doing?" Zou Hao stepped forward.

"Why are you here?" Zhou Yunling asked back. "Didn't you ask Captain Chen to transfer you?"

It turned out that these two people were behind the scenes!Before Zou Hao had time to question him carefully, Li Yifan came out of 1801 with a chair in his hand. He smiled when he saw Zou Hao, and said to Zhou Yunling: "Look, this just corresponds to the hexagram I made before going out. There are ups and downs, rivers and mountains are difficult, there are many disasters and difficulties, and there is a dilemma."

"Yes, yes, master is really good at predicting things." Zhou Yunling said casually.

Li Yifan leaned his chair against the wall and waved to Zou Hao. "It's all here, come and give me a hand."

Zou Hao supported the chair under Li Yifan's gesture, and Li Yifan stepped on the chair and hung a soul-calling banner on the ceiling.The more Zou Hao thought about it, the more something went wrong: "But... what are you two doing?"

"We..." Li Yifan clapped his hands and jumped down, looked at Zou Hao, raised half of his mouth, "Accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and you will become immortal soon."

Good deeds?Immortal?Zou Hao watched Li Yifan go to the opposite side of the corridor and hang another soul-calling banner, angry and regretful, such a good person, the girls in the whole building rushed to chase him like they were robbing double eleven discounts , why do you want to believe in crooked ways?Zou Hao turned to Zhou Yunling, trying to win over his comrades: "Yunling, don't you persuade him?"

"Okay, Zou Hao, stop talking, and go move the table with my master. The time is counted, so don't delay." Zhou Yunling thought he was talking too much, but she was really kind. Huskies are gone.Zou Hao shut up obediently, and worked together with Li Yifan to lift a desk into the corridor.

Li Yifan spread a red cloth on the table, placed candlesticks and censers, and placed four candles on the four sides of the table against the corners of the corridor.

Zou Hao panicked when he saw it. "Mr. Fan, do you want to engage in superstitious activities here? What if this causes a fire?"

"I'm still in trouble. Don't worry, just watch a 3D movie. I haven't even confiscated your ticket yet." Li Yifan laughed.Li Yifan usually wears suits and casual clothes when he goes to work, but today he is wearing a Chinese-style navy blue double-breasted cotton shirt with the buttons unbuttoned to reveal his white undershirt.

"From now on, you are not allowed to say a word," Zhou Yunling warned Zou Hao, "If you dare to say a word, I will ask Captain Chen to fire you tomorrow."

Zou Hao glared at Zhou Yunling: "So what, at worst, I'll be a security guard in another place!" Resisting his soft words, Zou Hao still shut up obediently, but he had to wait patiently to see if these two people could have sex. What's the matter.Zou Hao has already made up his mind that if there is a fire, he will follow the example of the Belgian Manneken Pis and put out the fire with a piss.

Li Yifan lit a stick of incense, bowed respectfully to all sides four times, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner.Then, Li Yifan's two hands formed different handprints like "Naruto", chanting words in his mouth.Holding a bowl of white rice, Zhou Yunling walked to the table and sprinkled the rice in four directions: front, back, left, and right.The paper figurine in a pink coat stood against the wall, staring blankly ahead with a pair of black eyes.

The moment Zhou Yunling threw the last handful of rice behind her, there was a sudden wind blowing in the corridor, the candle flames flickered, and the spirit-calling banners on both sides of the table were flying in the air.

The woman came out from the dark door of No. 1801, and stood opposite Li Yifan across the table.The woman is still wearing a dark green flowered cheongsam, her hair is as black as ink in a bun, and there are pearl flower hairpins. "What do you want from me?" she asked.

"I understand the art of yin and yang, and I want to help you find your husband. You can also leave this world with peace of mind and not hang around here anymore." Li Yifan said.

There was some surprise in the woman's eyes. "Is this true?"

Li Yifan pointed to the paper figurine by the wall. "I have prepared the props. I just need to know your husband's name, where he lives, date of birth, when he left home, and what is his relationship with you."

The woman sighed. "In that case, master, please listen to me carefully."

"Hey," Zou Hao asked Zhou Yunling in a low voice, "Are you guys rehearsing a play?"

"Shut up!" Zhou Yunling pinched Zou Hao's wrist severely, causing him to grin his teeth in pain.

A smile appeared on the corner of the woman's mouth, and she fell into memories: "My name is Du Rujuan. I was born in Guanxian County, Sichuan Province. My husband's name is Zhou Yuhang, who is two years older than me and from my hometown. My husband and I have been childhood sweethearts since we were young. Ding Chou In 16, I was [-] years old, and my husband graduated from the military academy and married me. Everyone said that we are a good-looking man and a beautiful woman, and we are a natural match."

"I still remember the day when he left home, it was cloudy, it rained all day, and even God shed tears for me." The smile on the woman's face gradually disappeared, replaced by sorrow and pain, and tears filled her eyes. "We were newly married for less than three months, but he was going to go north with the army, and he didn't know when he would return. I cried and begged him, and I cried until my soul died. He said I was selfish, that I was short-sighted as a woman, and he said that the country was about to perish. If you die on the battlefield, you must never be a subjugated slave!"

"As soon as he left, there was no news. I combed my hair and put on makeup at home every day, waiting for him to come back. I waited and waited and waited and waited, day after day, year after year..." A tear slowly fell from the corner of the woman's eyes, her hair gradually turned gray, and interlaced wrinkles appeared on her smooth and fair skin.When the words fell, she became the gray-haired old woman from yesterday, weeping uncontrollably. "I've waited for him for 54 years, and I can't wait any longer...But Yuhang, my husband, still hasn't come back..."

Zou Hao felt his face was a little cold, and reached out his hand to touch it, only to find that it was full of tears.

"I'll call him for you now. If he is still in the underworld, he will definitely come. If he doesn't come, he has already been reincarnated and no longer remembers you." Li Yifan said.

"Then it will be Master Lao." The old woman bowed her head and performed the old-fashioned Wanfu salute.

Li Yifan formed his handprint again and recited the mantra.Zhou Yunling sprinkled rice again, picked up the paper figurine with a bamboo pole, and held it in the air.

After chanting the spell, Li Yifan raised his head and stared at the paper figurine.For a long time, the paper figurine remained motionless and nothing happened.Li Yifan turned to the old woman and shook his head.

The anticipation on the old woman's face turned to disappointment and shock. "Impossible, impossible... The Seventh Young Master will not leave me and go to reincarnate alone..." The old woman's emotions gradually lost control, and a strong wind suddenly blew up the candles in the corridor, blowing out the candles, and the two spirit-calling banners were shaking. "You must have lied to me, you lied to me! I should have expected that, you Mr. Yin and Yang, you keep saying that you can bring the Seventh Young Master back, and you are all deceiving!" He overturned the table covered with red cloth and rushed towards Li Yifan.

Zou Hao was a little panicked, the old lady wouldn't really hurt Li Yifan, could she?He subconsciously took two steps forward, but was grabbed by Zhou Yunling and protected him behind him. "Don't go!"
