The Exorcist

Chapter 3 Ghost Hunting Company

Subconsciously, Ruan Zhan leaned down.

There was no lingering rotten smell in the coffin, as if it had always been empty. He stretched out his hand and groped slowly, but there was nothing intangible. However, when his hand touched the top of the coffin, his hand suddenly hurt, as if he had been bitten by something.

When he raised his hand, blood flowed down his fingers!

No, there is something!

Ruan Zhan reached out to touch again, this time because he had the intention of searching, so he used more force. This made Ruan Zhan feel a strong sting, and he saw a big wound on the palm of his hand. But he endured it and watched with his own eyes as his blood flowed in a certain direction onto the seemingly empty lining of the coffin, slowly forming a curved arc, like - like a knife blade!

Carefully, he judged the direction of the knife handle, and then stretched out his hand. As his blood fell drop by drop on the lining of the coffin, his palm indeed grasped an invisible but tangible object - ―It is an oblate shape that fits the hand very well. Its texture is hard and smooth, cold and magnetic. With a little effort, I immediately picked up an invisible knife!

There was a loud "boom", and thunder sounded in the sky again, and then, big raindrops fell hard!

Ruan Zhan stood in the pit, holding up the invisible knife and watching the raindrops fall on the knife, as if he was holding a handful of water drops out of thin air!

The knife is not invisible, but is made of transparent crystal. It is half a foot long, sharp and spiritual, strange and beautiful. Because the crystal is so pure that it is rare in the world, the shape of the knife cannot be seen with the naked eye. And it was precisely because Ruan Zhan's blood flowed into the blood tank that he realized the existence of the knife.

In an instant, he understood that the knife was what the faceless man in the red hallucination gave to his father. But where is his father? Was the body stolen after death, or was he really not dead? What's his purpose? Did he keep this knife for himself, or did he lose it accidentally? Why had he never found this strange knife on his father's body?

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, but Ruan Zhan stood there motionless as if he didn't feel anything at all. After a long while, he dipped his index finger into a little blood from the wound on his palm and gently drew a charm on the blade.

The rain diluted the blood, and there were only some faint pink marks on the blade, but that was enough, because with this spell, the sword was invisible to other people, but it could show up at any time in his eyes. .

This manifestation talisman was also taught to him by his father, which made him suddenly feel that his father had predicted all this a long time ago, so he had made many preparations for him in advance!

He walked back to the front of the coffin and continued to feel around, thinking that there could be no knife without a scabbard. Sure enough, within a moment he found another hard object in the gap. He also drew a manifestation symbol on it, and then combined the two into one.

Since this knife was left to him, it must be useful. He should keep it well, just like the other three magic weapons his father left to him.

Enduring the piercing pain in his palms, Ruan Zhan buried the empty tomb again and went down the mountain in the rain. Then I ran to the mountains during the day the next day and searched every inch of the land to see if I could find any clues.

He stayed like this for half a month, and the people in the town began to talk about him behind his back. Originally, his father's death was a mystery in the eyes of the villagers. Although the police announced that the old man's death was normal and Ruan Zhan had no time or motive for committing the crime, superstitious people just felt that Ruan Zhan was suspicious.

They said: For such a good man, something started to go wrong ever since he adopted this son who seemed to have crawled out of the grave; they said that Ruan Zhan was probably his adoptive father who was killed by magic. Look at him, he has a ghastly and terrifying face. , it must not be a good thing; and also, this freak has been running to the cemetery in the back hill recently, and he doesn’t know what bad things he wants to do, let alone spreading disasters——

Ruan Zhan was used to these pointing fingers and malicious speculations. Human beings will always doubt, reject, fear, slander, and then harm those who are different from the group, even though sometimes those abnormal manifestations are minor and harmless.

However, since he was suspected of killing his father, he learned to disguise himself. When his father's funeral affairs were settled and he returned to school, he had slowly changed. Although he is still indifferent, he is no longer as ready to attack others as if he were covered in thorns; although he still does not interact with others, he no longer looks at others with scary eyes, and has changed from being wary of others to being distant and indifferent.

Then, he went to college, and after graduation, he entered the society, wandering around in various cities, and finally settled in the "Yeguiren" bar, hoping to stay and hide here without being noticed until he died. At this time, he disguised himself even more deeply, adding a gentle, elegant and suave coat to his cold and distant appearance.

Then, Wan Li appeared in his life again and brought him the biggest gift in his life - Xiaoxia. He had been wary of all kinds of beautiful women who were very dangerous to men, and did not pay attention to this little yellow-haired girl at all. However, it was her who easily tore apart his gentle disguise, melted the ice in his heart, and broke in directly. He has a burning heart and refuses to come out again!

what to do?

Ruan Zhan shook his head helplessly, first fading the shadow of Xiao Xia from his mind, and then focusing on the matter in front of him.

He had been searching the land around his father's grave for half a month. Dragging his still-unrecovered body, he used Heaven's Eye and Heaven's Eye on himself, allowing him to detect the blood, various strange smells, and soil from a month ago. The marks on it are particularly sensitive.

However, he found nothing. His father seemed to disappear out of thin air, leaving no clues, not even a small bush that was trampled down. This made him feel more and more that there must have been no violent incidents here. If his father didn't leave by himself, the grave diggers could carry objects in the air.

If his father was not dead at all, then why could he be sure that his father had passed away? Why were there still spots on the body? He has been buried in the ground for more than ten years. What kind of turtle breath method is so powerful?

If someone was digging graves and moving corpses, why would that person do that? And he was sure that that person was a very superb person. Moving it in the air without leaving any traces is not something ordinary people can do.

In order to solve this mystery, he had to make some arrangements.

He was sure there was nothing more to investigate about his hometown. Now he was going back to the city to search for all people and things related to Taoism. For example, where were strange events happening? Anyone help solve it? Are there any special missing persons, any unexpected dead bodies? In short, he had sealed his abilities before and was unwilling to come into contact with all supernatural events. Although he had already intervened because of Xiaoxia, this time, he had to actively and comprehensively intervene, so that he could find clues in the vast sea of ​​people. .

The method is clumsy, a bit like finding a needle in a haystack, but it is a solution within no solution. He believes that there are not many people in the world who can really solve supernatural events, so he has a chance to find the secret of his father's death, and he also has a chance to find the person whose face he didn't see!

However, if he goes back, he will see Xiaoxia. How will he face her?

And just when he was hesitant and didn't know what to do, his bar thousands of miles away had reopened, and the business was even more prosperous than when he was there.

"Boss Ruan Zhanruan is my cousin." Bao Datong, with a lively and endearing smile on his face, distributed business cards to a large group of female customers, "This is my newly opened company, all beauties, come and support me when you have time. "

"Yeah, there is such a company. It's quite new." A hot girl wearing waist-revealing and leg-revealing clothes said with a sweet smile.

Bao Datong looked at the girl, pointed his chin with his index finger, and made a very unnecessary but very cool posture, "Life is just a game of chess. Of course you don't need this kind of service when you are going smoothly." , but what if there is a disaster? You don’t have to work hard, just leave it to me to solve it. What I do is the hero’s job of saving the beauties.”

"Are you okay?" The hot girl glanced sideways at Bao Datong.

"You won't know until you try it." Bao Datong winked ambiguously, "I come from a family background. I dare say that no one in this industry can match my skills."

"The charge is not low, right?" the hot girl continued to ask.

"Don't mention money, it hurts feelings." Bao Datong grinned generously at the female guests surrounding him, revealing his very lethal, handsome, and cute little tiger teeth, which made him smile. Her dark skin and snow-white teeth made her look even more brilliant, "Just give me some cost for the work and transportation."

Before he finished speaking, the other female guests were chirping and asking questions. Bao Datong answered them all in a good temper, but Wan Li, who was sitting in the corner, was furious.

"Shameless guy, he actually pretended to be Azhan's cousin!" He said while picking up a business card left on the table.

The business card is black with beautiful silver lace inlaid on the four sides. It reads: Yeguiren Zhouyi Culture Company, General Manager Bao Datong. Below is the address and phone number of the bar. On the back of the business card is written the main business, and a lot of it is written densely, such as fortune telling, fortune telling, fortune telling, yin and yang house feng shui, exorcism and avoidance of evil, suppressing shock and recovering the soul -

"He even chooses a business card with such a lewd color."

Xiao Xia patted Wan Li's hand and said, "Forget it, why can't you always get along with him? But it's true, he's so convenient. Even the name of the company is Ye Gui Ren."

"What kind of company? He is the only one. His office address and phone address are all listed here. He is obviously a professional slut!"

Xiaoxia glanced at Wan Li and didn't understand why Wan Li, who was so easy-going and cute, couldn't get along with Bao Datong. In her opinion, if the two people hadn't had any trouble in the past, they must have committed a crime!

"There are two of us now." Xiao Xia watched Bao Datong chatting happily with the female guests and leaned on Wan Li's shoulder.

She seemed to be seriously ill this time. She felt exhausted all over and would get tired after sitting for a while.

"What, you promised him?" Wan Li almost stood up, but felt that Xiaoxia was still relying on him, so he quickly sat back down, "You girl are really fooling around, why are you so crazy with him?"

"That's not true. After all, Bao Datong is a bit of a real person. I used to always hold you and Ruan Zhan back when things happened, and Ruan Zhan refused to teach me, so I want to learn a few tricks from him! Besides, It would be nice to earn more. Bao Datong said that as long as I go on missions with him, I don’t have to worry about anything, and he will split the bill with me 30/70. Hehe, I’ve made a lot of money now.”

"Do you really believe he can make money?"

"I believe it very much." Xiao Xia stood up and said seriously, "Modern human beings have a crisis of faith and there are many strange things. And you see, he is very good at public relations."

Wan Li breathed out from his nostrils and said nothing.

Although he didn't like Bao Datong, he had to admit that Bao Datong was very good at dealing with people. In the past, most of the women came for Ruan Zhan, and a small number of women came for the two boys Liu Tie and Ni Yang. However, these three men were relatively 'serious', especially Ruan Zhan, who treated everyone very well. The same attitude of being distant makes him more attractive, but it is also detrimental to business development.

A good number of women who have been hanging out in bars for many years come to catch men, but a good number of them also come to have fun. If you can't drink happily, have fun and laugh happily, it doesn't mean anything.

Although Bao Datong does not provide special services, he is eloquent, attentive and cute, and his mouth is like honey when he talks. He has attracted a large number of customers since the day he reopened. Although the customers are becoming younger, the turnover is growing. .

What will Ruan Zhan say when he comes back and sees all this? Probably he will be as helpless as himself!

Wanli thought feebly.

He didn't want to entertain Bao Datong, but Ruan Zhan wanted to deal with the aftermath of the incident in Hongqing Town and went back to his hometown to confirm some of the words Sima Nan left. As a result, he had to deal with this troublesome guy.

He didn't like the playful and smiling Bao Datong before, but now he found that he was quite a scoundrel. Xiaoxia's scoundrel pales in comparison to him, because he is much thicker-skinned than Xiaoxia!

As soon as he heard that Bao Datong wanted to live here permanently, he refused unceremoniously. Unexpectedly, Bao Datong immediately brought up the agreement between Uncle Bao and Ruan Zhan's father.

I'll help your son once, you help my son once!

Because of this promise, Uncle Bao saved Ruan Zhan's life many years ago. Now Bao Datong's condition is that he will open a ghost-catching company in the city. When his career is successful, this promise will be fulfilled.

Successful career! How nicely said! But this is a requirement that cannot be confirmed by specifications. To what extent does it count as a ‘successful career’? If he never succeeds in his career, will Ruan Zhan be stuck with Bao Datong for the rest of his life? Come to think of it, Uncle Bao really didn't suffer. He spent a day rescuing a friend's son in distress, and then sent his son to someone else's house. He didn't leave until what year!

My dad not only fulfilled his promise, but also saved you!

This was what Bao Datong said to Wan Li. Wan Li was so angry that he almost hit the wall on the spot! It's really a matter of which pot is not opened and raised, this matter was actually figured out by Bao Datong alone. If I had known this, I might as well have died!

Under this situation, he couldn't stop Bao Datong from moving into Ruan Zhan's place, and he actually started such a ghost-catching company with great fanfare, even though it was called Zhouyi Culture Company on the surface!

"Let me tell you, I have made an appointment with that hot girl to go swimming this weekend." Bao Datong walked over with a smile and sent the group of women to Liu Tie and Ni Yang to deal with them.

"Didn't you say that you are a Taoist?" Wan Li said sarcastically, "You said that you just went out into the world, but you are still a Taoist disciple. You are not afraid of violating the sect's rules by picking up girls so much!"

"You don't know this." Bao Datong sat next to Xiao Xia, "I am a dragon and tiger cultivator, and I am not afraid of women. Speaking of which, my faction is quite honest."

He said it so seriously that Xiaoxia couldn't help laughing.
