"Magic City Strange Events" was originally a romance novel serialized by a famous woman on a literary website. A story of ghosts and ghosts.

Sang Susu came from an ordinary background, the only unusual thing is that she took over from her father and became a mortician who embattled the dead and collected the corpses. The first half of the novel has a long space devoted to how Sang Susu strives to be self-reliant and breaks prejudices to make a name for himself.

In the beginning, those who were willing to invite her to work were ordinary families with a little extra money. From this, I elaborated on the life of the poor and low-level people in Shanghai. In the middle and late stages, Sang Susu became famous, and more people invited her to go. Appeared at this time.

Originally, with the wealth of the Wan family, only Lan Yin, the best embalmer in Shanghai, could be seen by them. However, Lan Yin had a conflict with the Wan family for some reason, and benefited the sudden emergence of Sang Susu. Without the help of the heroine of the novel, the young master of the Wan family, Wan Mingchang.

In short, this book is full of all kinds of weird ghosts and folk customs, as well as secrets and anecdotes about longevity, seeking children, getting rich, etc. Sang Susu has gradually changed from an immature mortician to a person who can communicate with Yin and Yang. He is a dark-faced figure in the world, summoning ghosts and gods from all directions, and protecting the land and water of the devil city.

Yao Li reads this book purely as a pastime. The writing style of the novel is so-so, and the plot is smooth. The author contacted the publishing house to publish the first volume. I heard that the second volume is also in preparation for revision. Yao Li didn’t pay much attention to it. How could I know? Just crashed head-on into this weird world of ghost stories.

But although there are frequent strange things in the novel, such as evil spirits, vengeance, and viciousness, it is still a world of normal people. According to her observation, the people walking around on the street are all non-human beings?When she came in the first day, she saw with her own eyes that a person's face slowly changed into another completely irrelevant person!Can humans do such face-changing? !

Yao Li roughly told Song Chenggong the plot of "The Strange Events of the Devil's City". She felt that there was nothing to hide about this matter. Everyone is normal and has no ability to control ghosts. Knowing the plot can barely save her life. If you can't go to the sky and make a fortune, why not help each other.

After Song Chenggong finished listening to the plot, he lowered his head and thought for a long time: "So you came here to find that supporting role, Lan Yin?"

Yao Li nodded: "The heroine and heroine in the book are both egoists, and they do things a little vulgar. I dare not approach them, or I might be tricked by them. Only Lan Yin, the author wrote about him When I said that he was peaceful, I thought about it and found that he was only a good person, so I found him.

"I also forgot where he lived, and it took me two days to find it..."

Song Chenggong slammed his mouth when he heard the words, and looked at her with a complicated expression: "You...you don't want to shake all these things to him and let him protect you, do you?"

Yao Li was stunned for a moment because she was told what was on her mind, and said awkwardly: "I have no other choice. A stranger came to ask for protection. How can I win people's trust if I don't come up with something useful..."

The most valuable thing in her hands and the thing that can move Lan Yin the most is really only this plot.

As for Lan Yin's reaction when she found out that she was a plot character... Yao Li didn't have time to think about it.

Song Chenggong scratched his hair, walked around the room twice, and shook his head firmly at Yao Li: "No, you can't see him."

Yao Li subconsciously wanted to refute, and Song Chenggong continued: "Xiao Yao, uncle eats decades more than you, among other things, he knows more about the world than you, don't you think? You are selling yourself to He's gone, you can't control anything at that time, he may protect you for a short time, after that? Do you know how long we're going to stay here? You throw all your chips out? When you're useless, Do you think he will let you go, or to avoid future troubles?"

"Don't dislike Uncle Song's harsh words. At this juncture, multiple minds are not a bad thing. It is written in the book that he is a good person, so he is really a good person? The Bodhisattva even killed people before he became a Buddha! The benefits are touching, think about you How important is it to know?"

Yao Li was a little hesitant for a while, but thinking about it carefully, multiple minds are indeed not a bad thing, but...

"If I don't look for him, what else can I do? There are monsters outside, I haven't dared to sleep for two days..."

Song Chenggong sneered: "Xiao Yao, Uncle Song taught you a truth. These days, it's better to ask for others than yourself. You can't rely on anyone. You still have to depend on yourself if you want to survive."

Yao Li lowered her eyes, pondered for a while, and suddenly asked: "Uncle Song, what else do you want to say? You came here with me, and you sneaked in to find me at such a risk, isn't it to enlighten me?"

Song Chenggong laughed: "This time it's considered smart. I won't play tricks on you. To make a long story short, I found a few unlucky people who were with us. Instead of breaking up with these dummies, we might as well hug each other , find a way to survive."

Yao Li was surprised and said, "Hold together?"

Song Chenggong nodded: "Only we are the companions who know the basics, not much better than the dummy you are looking for? There are many people and strength, and we can always survive."

Yao Li pinched her fingers and weighed things up. She had to admit that what Song Chenggong said was very reasonable. Compatriots who were in trouble together were worth relying on, rather than defecting to the characters in the plot.

"Then what are you going to do now?" Yao Li asked.

Song Chenggong said: "The most urgent thing is to find you a suitable place to stay. Did you see that foreigner who was with Lan Yin? I saw them come back together today. That foreigner is a doctor and opened a clinic. Nursing workers are being recruited, and you can just try to apply tomorrow."

Yao Li was surprised: "Nurse worker? I don't know...well, I'll give it a try."

At this juncture, it doesn't matter whether you know medicine or not. Besides, it's just a nurse. A nurse these days shouldn't need any special professional skills... right?

"What about the others?" Yao Li was more concerned about those unlucky companions whom she had never met.

"They..." Song Chenggong showed a bit embarrassed expression, "Uncle, I have to ask you for a favor, just those young men. I saw them once yesterday, but I didn't dare to recognize each other. I was afraid at the time." ...But now you and I are two people, it should be much safer, tomorrow I'm going to find another unlucky ghost who fell in, you go to connect with them first, okay?"

Yao Li's first reaction was to refuse.

What a joke!Song Chenggong's words were too much like a trap!

When the word of refusal came to her lips, Yao Li hesitated again. What good did Song Chenggong have in lying to her?Is it to get rid of a person who knows the plot?Then he can kill now, there is no need to change hands...

After thinking about it, Yao Li reluctantly agreed: "Okay, I... I will go back and have a look. What are their names and what are their characteristics?"

Song Chenggong immediately said: "I don't know what it's called, just turn right on the street where Paramount comes out. The three of them were also clever that day, pretending to be beggars..."

After explaining things like this, while the night was still dark, Song Chenggong slipped out quietly and climbed over the wall.

After the slightly clumsy middle-aged man fell down from the wall, he turned into a beautiful mad doctor in the blink of an eye. The cane emerged from his hand and supported the ground. In the broken vat, the thin and straight foreign gentleman raised his head, looked at the moonlight in the sky, and smiled slightly.

This trip was rewarding.

The next day, Lan Yin went to bury the child and didn't let Qiao Zhou go with him. Qiao Zhou guessed that he was being considerate of himself. Although he didn't think it was necessary, he still accepted Lan Yin's decision and just gave him some more money. It was enough to ask someone to find a good place to build a good grave for the child, Lan Yin did not refuse this time.

Soon after returning to the clinic, Yao Li came to apply for the job.

Qiao Zhou opened the door of the lounge and pointed to the haggard and sleepy person inside: "Your job is to take care of him when I'm not around. He's been in a coma for a long time, so it's not difficult to take care of him. In addition, clean up for me when patients come. Say hello when you are here, you can sleep in this bed outside at night."

When Yao Li heard the last sentence, there was a look of relief on her face. Qiao Zhou pretended not to see it, and told her a few more casual words, and finally said: "I don't often come to the clinic. Yes, ask him to leave the address, and I will go there."

Yao Li nodded. Seeing that Qiao Zhou was about to go out, she couldn't help being bolder and asked, "Doctor, doctor, that...what do you call you?"

Qiao Zhou paused slightly, and smiled at her: "Ah, I'm sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Vincent Lorraine. According to Huaxia's way of addressing you, you can call me Mr. Lorraine."

Yao Li silently recited the name twice in her heart, but still couldn't hold back: "Uh...Mr. Lorraine, may I ask you and Mr. Lan Yin...are you good friends?"

She originally wanted to ask more details, but she still didn't dare, and then she saw the young doctor who looked more eye-catching than the top version of the Elf King blinked, and the corners of his mouth twitched: "You mean Lan?"

His voice seemed to be deliberately drawn out, revealing something sly and tacit: "Yes, we are good friends, Lan——is a very good person."

Yao Li watched her new boss leave the clinic, and then went to look at the patient lying in the lounge—she didn't dare to get too close, who knows if this patient will cheat the corpse and turn into a monster on the spot?She made up her mind that during the time she was in office, she would never get within arm's length of the other person easily. If she could, she would like to find a straitjacket to put on this person.

Although this kind of thinking is not in line with the humanitarian spirit and does not have the basic professional ethics of a nurse, Yao Li feels that it is always right to be careful.

After getting acquainted with the environment of the clinic, she took out a few copper coins from the small cash box that Lorraine pointed out to her, and board and lodging was also included in the employment contract, which was the only comfort Yao Li got these two days.

There was no fire in the clinic, and Lorraine allowed her to take the change and go out to eat by herself. Yao Li stuffed the money into her waist pocket, closed the glass door of the clinic, and pondered for a while.

Eating lunch was one thing, and she decided to take this opportunity to meet the people Song Chenggong had mentioned to her.

The address Song Chenggong pointed out to her was very vague, and Yao Li walked around several times before finding the figures of three young people in another alley that was completely different from the description.

They sat on two sides, did not talk to each other, looked at each other, wore tattered clothes that didn't fit well, their hair was dirty and sticky, and their faces were deeply buried in their knees. It can be seen from their hands that their muscles and bones are well-proportioned and plump, and their stature is a circle larger than ordinary beggars who are hungry and full. At least it is impossible for beggars to have such good nutritional conditions.

They should be right.

Looking at their miserable situation, Yao Li felt deep sympathy in her heart as all the previous vigilance disappeared unknowingly.

How should I put it, although everyone is on the verge of begging on the street, but at least she has found a job, and comparing the unlucky situation of these three brothers, she suddenly feels that she is not particularly pitiful?

Hey, this thing is really outrageous. The world changed suddenly. A good white-collar worker became a black household, begging along the street, and working without a license. Is this the correct way for ordinary people to travel through?The heroine who shines in the novel is really because of her own mother who cheated on her!
