Chapter 290 Sleep Tester 29

"Let me ask another question, does my sister's disappearance have anything to do with you?"

When the old man was almost crying, Bai Lixin asked his question.

The old man: "I really haven't seen her. She didn't show up after driving her away that day. You have to believe me!"

He pulled his scattered hair and looked towards the basement irritably: "I have encountered everything in my life, I don't understand, my daughter is an ordinary person, why did she get on my daughter's body?"

Bai Lixin: "Maybe because I like your daughter's name."

The old man: "Luo Mei? My daughter was not called Luo Mei before. This is the stage name she gave herself after she became famous. My surname is Zhang, and of course my daughter is also surnamed Zhang. She used to debut with her real name, but she just debuted It wasn't popular at the time, and those people said they wanted her to debut, but they only sent her to participate in offline interactions, and the record has never been released. So there has been no such person, and when she changed her name to 'Luo Mei', she was already changed."

"You just said... my daughter lives in his body," the old man stood on tiptoe and looked into the basement, "then... can she return to her original body?"

"The body/body is just a container to fill the soul. Although it is only, once the body/body is seriously damaged, the soul will also be separated from the body/body. So in theory, if the soul comes out of the body, And if the body is not damaged, your daughter's soul can go back."

"Although this is easy to say, it is still difficult to operate."

"You need to meet three conditions."

"Your daughter's soul can leave this body."

"That soul can leave that body."

"Your daughter's soul must enter the body the moment the soul leaves, otherwise the body will lose its activity and become a discarded container."

"There is a great risk here. Once your daughter's soul leaves this body but fails to enter her original body, she will die completely and enter the underworld."

"The success rate is low and the death rate is high. If the status quo is maintained, I can guarantee that your daughter will live another fifty years."

The old man stared at the location in the basement for a long time, his eyes flickering, "I am almost sixty years old, and I can live for another twenty years if I want to live. And I am already in poor health, and I don't have the energy to take care of such things. A child. I can still help out now, but if I die, how will this child live?"

"Rather than this, it's better to die. I don't think she is willing to stay in such a body. I hope she can return to her own body. Aren't you the King of Hades? The matter of the soul is up to you, Such a big thing happened, shouldn't you take action?!"

"...", Xiao Yan Wang, "If I say that although his body is stupid, but stupid people have stupid blessings, after you die, he will be adopted by a welfare institution for special groups. The staff there take good care of him, he Have you lived safely for fifty years? Do you still need to change it?"

The old man's eyes dodged to the door of the basement. Goudan had opened the door at some point, and was lying quietly on the stairs, staring at the old man with a pair of half-stupid, half-ignorant eyes.

The old man swallowed nervously.

He looked at Goudan, feeling very confused.

The well-behaved and sensible daughter lives in this body.

He forced himself to regard her as his daughter, but when he saw his obviously sick face and stupid expression, disgust burst out from the bottom of his heart instantly, and quickly shattered the little bit of beauty that had just grown up.

Will my daughter always be this stupid?

It might as well be dead.

The old man quickly turned his head away in disgust, suppressed the disgust on his expression, and said seriously: "I still want to love you and make her a normal person, and she is definitely willing. I... I am not for myself, I am For my daughter's sake."

Little Hades: "..."

"Why are you so annoying, don't you cry when you see the coffin?" Little Yama's brows soared into the sky, "Then let me tell you again, there is a prerequisite for the soul to leave the body/body, unless the person is voluntary, otherwise You can't leave your body."

"Your daughter entered Goudan's body voluntarily."

The old man: "How? Impossible, impossible. How can a normal person want to be a fool? You are lying to me, yes, you are lying to me."

Goudan sat at the door of the basement, listening quietly.

Little Hades: "This answer may only be known after fifty years. You humans have a saying called 'foolish people have stupid blessings'. Maybe the things you experience when you are awake are too painful, such as the early death of your mother, the rejection of your father, Insults from men, illnesses from children, sluggish careers... If there is a hundred sufferings for people, she has probably eaten 70%, but she was only in her early twenties."

"After so many blows, it's good to be able to live strong and not go crazy. When she desperately wants to escape from this fiery world, if there is such a person beside her who bewitches and tricks her, she will easily choose to leave .”

"For your daughter, that might be a relief for her."

"The world doesn't revolve around you, and the world doesn't do whatever you want. It's not that if you have a smart and outstanding daughter, you want an obedient and sensible daughter to appear."

Having said so much for the first time, Little Hades stopped looking at the old man, but quietly looked at Bai Lixin: "

Xinxin, let's go. "

Bai Lixin nodded silently.

Before leaving, he didn't forget to glance at Goudan at the door of the basement.

Some distance away from the old man's house, the little Hades cursed in a low voice, and let out a long breath of foul air.

It was only then that Bai Lixin took a serious look at Little Hades. Although he had seen him once before, that time he was wearing a black suit and a modern attire.

Goodbye now, he is wearing an ancient costume. He is not unfamiliar with this kind of clothes. Yama Dijia has also worn this style of clothes.

"You look handsome in this outfit." Bai Lixin praised without hesitation, "I just realized today that you have really grown up, Tuanzi."

Xiao Yan Wang, who was originally depressed, was shy for a second, "Xin Xin, I have other names. But Tuanzi only belongs to what you call me."

Bai Lixin: "That's right, the majestic Lord Hades can't still call 'Tuanzi' and 'Tuanzi', what's your real name?"

Little Hades hesitated for two seconds before speaking: "I named myself 'Baili Ye', because you picked me up in the dark."

"Follow my surname?" Baili Xin smiled, "It's good, it didn't embarrass our Baili family."

"That's for sure," Baili Xin's "we" pleased the little Hades, he immediately raised his head and chest, and the haze was swept away, "I won't lose face to our Baili family."

"What are you looking for from me, Xin Xin?"

Bai Lixin: "I want to ask you something, I don't know if it's convenient for you."

Little Hades: "Speak, I'll listen."

Bai Lixin: "It's just..."

______________________________

At eight o'clock in the evening, the moon is dark and the wind is high.

The dark night sky was covered by thick dark clouds.

Tonight's Jinhai high-end apartment is extraordinarily quiet and dark, and the windows of the apartment are sporadically flickering with dim lights the size of mung beans.

A few people took advantage of the moonlight to sneak into the Jinhai high-end apartment, and a few people turned on the flashlights on their mobile phones. Among them, a man with a big gold chain around his neck walked around the stars. The man bowed his head Looking at the phone, he muttered impatiently as he walked: "Meet us in the small woods in the small park in the Jinhai high-end apartment... After entering the door, go west, and you can see..."

After he finished reading, he looked up and asked the younger brother beside him, "Is this going west?"

The little brother beside him didn't dare to be negligent: "Yes, boss, this is Xi."

The golden chain man frowned and looked at the endless red brick path, wondering, "I've been walking for almost ten minutes, why haven't I arrived at the small park yet? Is this community so big?"

The crew-haired man next to him said: "It may be because of the hidden architectural style. Some high-end residential areas design the doorway to look narrow for the concealment of the residents, but the space inside is actually very large."

"Really? There is still this architectural style?" Jin Lianzi was still a little suspicious, but the suspicion quickly disappeared, because he vaguely saw the small park in the faint light, "Finally it's almost here, POS machine, contract, You have all the payment codes, right?"

The flat-headed man hurriedly said: "When I came, I checked twice, and I brought the boss with me."

The golden chain man quickened his pace: "Okay, it's only a little past eight o'clock. If we finish work early today, I'll ask my brothers to pick up skewers."

Several people around quickly responded: "Thank you, brother!"

As they approached, they gradually saw a vague figure in the small woods in the small park.

After getting closer for a few minutes, several people realized that the person was facing away from them.

Beside the man was a bulging black handbag.

The moment they saw the handbag clearly, several people immediately quickened their pace excitedly, and the man with a gold watch in his hand said excitedly: "Boss, look, money!"

In contrast, the golden chain can be said to have seen strong winds and waves, and is not very excited.

The few people stopped behind the man, and the golden chain shouted at the man's back: "Hey, we are here, hurry up and hand over the money, two hundred thousand, no more, no less. "

The person with his back to them didn't mean to look back, he just stretched out his hand stiffly, and pointed to the black handbag on the ground beside him, a hoarse voice sounded in the darkness: "It's all here, Count yourselves, only more and less."

The man with the gold chain winked at the flat-headed man, and the flat-headed man hurried over and took the black handbag.

But the strange thing is that the handbag looks heavy, but it's actually not too heavy.

Could it be that my strength has grown lately?

Without too much doubt, the flat-headed man quickly brought the handbag to the man with the gold chain.

The person in front of him still had no intention of turning back.

The gold chain man and the others looked at each other, bent over and squatted together around the handbag.

The flat-headed man opened the zipper, and just as they were delighted that the value of 30,000 had increased to 200,000 in one year, and they had all of it in their hands, they froze in place for the contents of the handbag.

Inside were banknotes filled slowly, but they were not banknotes that they could use at all, but ghost coins one by one!

Under the dark night sky, the flashlight shone on the face of the fairy wearing a golden crown in the backpack, and the person on the coin looked sideways and smiled, as if laughing at them.

Jin Lianzi froze for two seconds, then quickly flipped through the handbag. In the handbag, there was not a single Yangjian banknote, but all Ming coins.

"My Cao," Jin Lianzi slammed his handbag on the ground angrily, "Give labor and capital money? I think you don't want to live anymore. I will kill you today and let you know what People can be provoked, but who can't be provoked!"

Without his own action, Brother Pingtou and the others rushed over immediately, grabbed the man's shoulders, turned him around, and wanted to punch him in the face.

There was a "grunt" sound, as if something heavy fell from the man's body.

The thing fell on the grass and made a muffled sound.

The person holding the phone subconsciously controls the phone to see what it is.

The moment the flashlight shone on that thing, everyone's pupils shrank suddenly, screaming and turning around to run away.

It was a head.

The place where the hair was attached to the scalp had been ripped off, and the top of the head was bloody and uneven. The flesh and blood told them silently how the scalp fell from the head in such a cruel way.

The facial features of the head were all distorted in one direction, as if something was shaking all the time, causing his facial features to shift strangely.

His eyes were wide open, and the bloodshot eyeballs swelled abruptly, as if they were about to be squeezed out of the eye sockets and fall to the ground in the next second.

The scariest thing is the neck area below the head.

The fragments of the broken neck were sparsely hung below, and the bones inside had been separated from the skin long ago, exposing the deep bones hideously.

Its bones and skin are not neat, and the wound looks like it was bitten by a wild animal, and it also looks like it was torn off by force.

Now those swollen eyeballs just stared at them, motionless.

The short-haired man who pressed his shoulders was the one closest to the head, and he was the first to see the head.

The moment he saw the head clearly, he immediately screamed and wanted to escape.

But the palm on the shoulder couldn't break free no matter what.

The palm was firmly stuck to the shoulder, or in other words, the shoulder was firmly sucking the palm.

His pupils were wide open, and he tried to break free with his hands and feet, while asking his companions for help.

When he looked back at his companions, he found that everyone left immediately and fled the scene.

They keep saying that they are good brothers, something really happened, and when the disaster is imminent, they fly separately, running faster than anyone else.

The flat-headed man looked desperately and sadly at the head at the foot in front of him.

Suddenly, the eyeballs on the head turned, and the pupils were facing the crew-haired man.

"Ahhh!!! Ghost, there is a ghost, help, help me!"

"Hehehe, I can't run away, even if you want to." The hoarse voice came again, this time from the flat-headed man's feet.

"It's only right and proper to pay debts. I'm dead. Since you want money, come down and accompany me. I will definitely not be in debt, and I will definitely return the money to you, hehehe, hehehe laugh."

The fleeing people turned around and ran for a few steps, when they suddenly seemed to hit an invisible wall. Everyone slammed into each other abruptly, and they were knocked to the ground one by one by their own reaction force.

Without any hesitation, they quickly got up from the ground, trying to escape again.

But the invisible wall in front of them stood there firmly, and none of them could get away.

"It's a ghost hitting the wall, it's a ghost hitting the wall! It's Chen Ping. Chen Ping came to us to ask for his life. He has become a ghost. He wants to kill us. Let us bury him with him!"

I don't know who yelled, and the gangsters who were already terrified were even more collapsed now.

Some people were sitting on the ground with limp legs, some people had knelt down and kowtowed to their heads, and some people had the smelly liquid running down their trouser legs, soaking the grass under their feet...

Those people who show off their might look so invincible, but when faced with fear, their cowardice and embarrassment can be seen at a glance.

The flat-headed man saw that his companion was also left behind. After experiencing the extreme state of near-death, a sense of revenge suddenly rose in his heart.

If I can't live, you have to accompany me if you can!

Why am I the only one who is unlucky, and everyone dies together, come and accompany me, come and accompany me!

Fear and excitement were exposed on his face at the same time, and the flat-headed man's expression was instantly ferocious.

Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed the hand that was glued to the shoulder of the crew-haired man.

The crew-cut man who was originally immersed in the excitement of dopamine and adrenaline was shocked instantly, and looked at his hand stiffly.

It was a pale, bloodless hand, and its palm was in stark contrast to his own, as if a plaster hand had been caught by him.

That hand tightly grasped his palm, and under the terrified eyes of everyone, it kept turning its back to their body slowly.

A body that lost its head just stood in front of everyone.

The white T-shirt on his body was stained red with blood, and blood was still gurgling from the hideous wound on his neck, like a small fountain.

Gululu.

Gululu.

"Ahhhhh!!!"

"Ghost!!!"

"Help!!"

Those men who usually show off their power and show off their might and viciousness are frightened one by one at this moment, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

The man with the gold chain had already peed his pants in fright, and his little eyes were so frightened that tears burst out, and he knelt and cried, tears streaming down his nose and snot: "I was wrong, I'm sorry, your debt a write-off,

I will never bother your family again. No, no, no, I will definitely be a good person in the future, and never do this kind of usurious behavior again. "

"This is... this is the contract," the man with the golden chain trembled violently with his fingers. He tried several times but failed to take the contract out of the document bag. Everything poured out.

Laptops, several USB flash drives, several contracts, recording pens, small video cameras, etc. all rolled out of it.

The headless body slowly walked towards them, Jin Lianzi quickly lowered his head and found Chen Ping's contract from a pile of contracts.

With a trembling voice, he held up the contract with both hands and shook it towards the headless body opposite. Then he realized that his head was on the ground, and hurriedly aimed the contract at the head, "Look, look! This is your contract, I'm tearing it up now! Our debts are wiped!"

As he spoke, the golden chain man tore up the contract vigorously, and shreds of paper were scattered in the sky.

"Look, it's gone. This is the original. There is no copy. I tore it all up. You don't owe us any money, so you don't have to pay us back. You should keep the money for yourself." The man with the golden chain said Then, he carefully pushed the handbag containing Ming coins in the direction of "Chen Ping".

However, the movement speed of the torso did not slow down.

The man with the golden chain gritted his teeth, and tore up several other contracts, begging for mercy while tearing up: "We don't want these, either!"

"I swear, I swear today, from today on, I will be a good person, a person who contributes to society, never do bad things again, and never bully the weak again." The man with the golden chain picked up the contract on the ground and started Tear, as he tore, he kowtowed and begged for mercy.

Seeing this, several other people beside him quickly picked up the contract on the ground and tore it up.

They were tearing their eyes red, and tearing up the contract seemed to be the only straw for them to survive.

After the contract was torn up, Jin Lianzi looked at the approaching torso, desperately picked up the USB flash drive, and slammed his forehead on the ground, but after a while, his forehead was blood red: "I was wrong, we are not a good thing, we are not a Stuff. We shouldn’t have given you medicine, we shouldn’t have taken that kind of photo of you, your photos are all in there, and I can format it now.”

Jin Lianzi held the USB flash drive in one hand, and slapped himself desperately with the other hand: "We are a bunch of bastards, we deserve to die, please, let me go, I still have old and young in my family, and I rely on myself Hold on, you can't live without me. For the sake of your parents, please forgive me."

The torso finally walked in front of several people, and Jin Chain raised his head in fear. The moment he raised his head, a column of bright red blood sprayed all over his face.

He resisted the dizziness and the urge to scream and run away, clasping his fingers tightly in his palm, trying to calm himself down.

The torso stepped on the computer, and a voice came from a distance: "From today, if you let me know that you are loan sharks again, I will go to your house, kill your children, wives and parents, and finally kill you! "

"Get out! Get out of here! Don't let me see you again!"

One of them has been leaning weakly on the invisible wall. The moment the ghost finished speaking, the support behind him disappeared instantly. He didn't check any of them, and fell heavily to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, he stood up excitedly from the ground and ran towards the outside like crazy, sometimes screaming and sometimes laughing, "Hahaha, free. I survived, I survived! Hahahaha, I survived! "

Seeing this, the others didn't care about the things on the ground, they all quickly got up from the ground one by one, and ran away at the speed of a 100-meter trapeze.

In the blink of an eye, everyone disappeared from the grove.

After everyone left, the torso turned around and walked in front of his own head, picked up the head and put it on his head, the man wiped his face, and his appearance changed.

The blood-stained white T-shirt was gone, replaced by a well-tailored and exquisite black suit.

The man stared at the direction where those people fled, his eyes flashed a sly light, and then he respectfully said towards a certain direction in the woods: "Lord Hades, Your Highness the Queen Mother, and...uh, another lord, the group of people It's gone far."

There was a rustling sound from the depths of the woods where you could not see your fingers.

Soon, three figures came out from the depths of the woods.

Heiwuchang pointed to his face excitedly: "How was my acting just now? Isn't it amazing!"

Xiao Yan Wang looked serious and serious: "Very professional, Hei Wuchang, you are worthy of being the leader of the underworld. The underworld really cannot do without you, you are simply too important to the underworld."

Shyness flashed across Heiwuchang's excited face, "This is what I should do, Lord Yama."

Little Hades patted Hei Wuchang on the shoulder again: "No, you are the best employee in the underworld, even Bai Wuchang is below you, I have always been very optimistic about you. I hope you will continue to work hard and keep it up."

Hei Wuchang's eyes were instantly ignited with a fighting spirit, "I will make persistent efforts, and I will not let you down!"

Little Hades coughed lightly: "I remember you have to pick up a dead person at nine o'clock?"

Hei Wuchang immediately straightened his shoulders, "That's right, then I'll go to work now!"

Little Hades: "If you are tired, take a rest, it's okay, we still have Bai Wuchang."

Hearing the three words "Bai Wuchang", Hei Wuchang's desire to win and lose immediately exploded; "No, I don't feel tired at all, I don't need to rest at all! I'm going to work right now, and I promise to complete the task!"

After finishing speaking, Hei Wuchang disappeared in a flash.

Bai Lixin stared blankly at the direction Hei Wuchang left, and silently gave Little Hades a thumbs up.

Awesome, is this the strongest capitalist in the underworld?

This speaking skills, this big pie... Hei Wuchang, can you take care of yourself?

Is there five social insurance and one housing fund? Are there double holidays?

Bai Lixin walked to the pile of things left by the group of people, and packed all the laptops and other equipment into the bag.

In his mind, the system's alarm sounded for a long time.

Escape system: [Ding! Warning Warning, player Bailixin is late for this professional mission, please hurry to the mission location. If you give up tonight's task, you will be judged as "unprofessional ethics person" because of passive slowdown, which has a high probability of causing a fatal blow to your professional ability score. 】

Escape system: [Your current lateness has already demoted you from "Diamond Haunted House Sleeper Tester" to "Gold Medal Haunted House Sleeper Tester", please cherish your hard-won achievements. 】

Bai Lixin rubbed his temples: [Okay, I'll go over now, pass me the map, don't talk about it, my head hurts. 】

The alarm in his head stopped abruptly, and a translucent map appeared in Bailixin's brain.

At around seven o'clock this evening, the system gave him a professional task.

He was late not out of emotion, but after careful inquiry, he determined that "being late" only offset part of his previous achievements and would not affect his career stability.

One is a backward ranking, and the other is a possible clue, he still knows which is more important.

After putting all the things into the handbag, Baili Xin and the two followers rushed to the destination.

Little Hades walked on Baili Xin's left: "Xin Xin, don't worry. After this incident, those people will not do this kind of thing again."

Shen Mo walked on the right of Bai Lixin: "When you see a termite in the room, it means that the room has already been filled with thousands of termites. As long as it is profitable, they will continue to grow after they disappear. They've been replaced by others."

Bai Lixin: "This is the state of the world. A certain sage long ago once said that 'people are inherently good', but there are also saints who said that 'human beings are inherently evil'. I personally prefer 'human beings are inherently good'. It’s a saying that nature is inherently evil.”

"From the moment we are born, ignorance makes us act on instinct like beasts."

"Later, he used rules and morals to educate the barbarians, and gradually became a man of etiquette who followed suit."

"Children will remove the bodies of insects one by one because of curiosity. The animal world also has the habit of killing prey. For example, cats will keep letting go and catching mice before killing them to tease mice. For example, hyenas will give birth to/ The genitals began to eat. But the so-called 'masochistic killing' is only our cognition, in the cognition of animals, they don't know that this is 'masochistic killing', in their cognition, it is instinct."

"When children are still children, their cognition is very shallow. At that time, as long as they are properly guided, their three views can be corrected. And most of these social scum, most of them have not accepted the orthodox ethics and moral guidance. .”

"They use their barbarism to rampage in the civilized world, of course they are invincible. But fortunately, we still have barriers that make us feel at ease."

The two of them still didn't understand what Bai Lixin meant when they heard the loud police car horn outside.

When they walked to the gate of the Jinhai high-end apartment, they happened to see the group of people tearfully thanking the police for their arrival.

"Police, it's police, great, we're saved."

"I surrender, I surrender."

"Uncle policeman, woo woo, woo woo."

The policemen looked confused, you look at me, I look at you.

"Is this group of people drinking too much? Why are they so crazy? This is the first time I've seen a criminal suspect being arrested and thanking the police."

"Go back and give them a urine test. The expression on their faces is so exaggerated. I guess they must be smacking hard. Make sure the number of people is right, and close the net!"

the efficiency of the police

Extremely high, the group of people were handcuffed and stuffed into the car in the blink of an eye.

The police car sped away, stirring up a cloud of dust on the ground.

Watching the police car leave, Shen Mo took a deep look at Bai Lixin: "Did you call the police?"

Bai Lixin: "Of course, you don't really think that I just scare them. We are all adults. Since we did something wrong, we have to pay the price for what we did."

____________________________

At around nine o'clock in the evening, Bai Lixin arrived at the mission location with two followers.

Tonight is a resident haunted house. I heard that a homicide happened in this room a year ago, and no one dared to move in after that.

Because no one has lived in for a year, the house is full of damp and musty smell.

When Bai Lixin turned on the light, Shen Mo had already opened the window for ventilation.

The gentle breeze blowing in from the window instantly refreshed the air a lot.

In the dead of night, in addition to being a murder night, it can also be a flirting night.

It's just a pity that there is an extra light bulb.

Shen Mo stared indifferently at the little Yama who had been pestering Baili Xin all this time, and almost spit out the snake letter.

Not all houses of the dead have ghosts in them, most of the houses are actually caused by human fear, and this house is of this type.

After confirming that the house was safe, Bailixin sat down at the desk, took out the laptop that came with him from the handbag, and opened it.

A faint blue light instantly lit up on the screen.
