The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 102 Collective hallucination?

Yang Yang followed them into the car, halfway through the car, Yuan Mu suddenly looked at him and asked, "Have you contacted Dai Xia after saving Lu Fu last time?"

"No!" Yang Yang was taken aback by the sudden question, then shook his head and said, "I haven't seen him since he left the pastry shop last time, if he didn't come to the door this time, I don't even remember anyone like that."

His words made the car fall into a brief silence. Seeing this, Zhou Liang slowed down the car. Just as he was about to ask what was wrong, he heard a pointed voice from Yu Zhongwu: "I gave him [-] yuan at that time." , I think, he won't spend it so soon?"

It’s okay not to mention this, but Yang Yang remembered the first time when Dai Xia went to the dim sum shop. At that time, Dancing in the Rain gave him 5 yuan for medical expenses. It’s only been a few months. Could it be that he Spend all your money?

But looking at how he came to look for him at the time and the situation of his family later, it didn't look like he had spent that money.

In this case, why should he come to find himself with only a few faces with a calm face?How can you be sure that you will help him?Thinking of this, Yang Yang felt that the hairs all over his body stood on end, and he remembered what Yuan Mu and the others had said before. They said that this person is not an ordinary person.

So, what is Dai Xia's identity?Why did he work so hard to appear by his side so hard?
Fortunately, at that time, I resolutely denied his request to stay and work in the pastry shop, otherwise, if he put such a person who didn't know his purpose and background next to Michelle, he would feel a chill behind him when he thought about it.

Seeing his pensive look, the rest of the people looked at each other and said nothing.

Originally, Dai Xia was not a threat to these monsters at all. What they were worried about was Yang Yang. As a mortal, he had too many weaknesses and flaws, and if he was not careful, he would be hurt and exploited by others.

Therefore, they deliberately did not avoid Yang Yang when discussing these, just to let him know what he knew.

Even if they can help Yang Yang block many plots and injuries as friends, they can't help him block the harm caused by the betrayal of trusted people.

They didn't want Yang Yang to experience this, so they could only try their best to remind him to pay attention.

But in the end, how to make a choice is still up to him.

For the rest of the journey, the few people never said a word, and this silence lasted until the car was parked.

It was just afternoon when we arrived in Fengqiuhuang, and it was not yet the busiest time of the bar street. Only a few pedestrians were walking around occasionally. At the entrance of some bars, the staff could still be seen doing some pre-opening preparations. Qiuhuang is like many bars.

The few people had just entered Fengqiuhuang's door when a familiar waiter greeted them. After greeting them, he said, "Sister Hong Yuan is waiting in the office on the second floor. She told you to come and go directly to her." go."

After hearing this, Yuan Mu nodded to show that he understood, then turned to look at several people and said, "Let's go."

After several people entered the door, they found that there was another person in Hong Yuan's office, and this person was none other than Dai Xia.

Dai Xia saw them coming in, greeted them, and went to Yang Yang's side: "Hey, I remember that Yuan Mu and the others found a little Taoist priest over there that day, who is he?"

Thinking of the conversation in the car just now, Yang Yang had to be on guard again: "That's a friend of mine, why do you ask him?"

"I'm just curious. Are there real Taoist priests these days?" Dai Xia blinked and said innocently, "Aren't I afraid that you will be fooled by fake Taoist priests?"

"You think too much, and you still worry about us, think about yourself!" Yang Yang was a little angry when he heard him say that.

After all, compared to him, Chi Dun is his friend who shares weal and woe.After finishing speaking, he added, "He is a real Taoist priest."

"Really?" The other party didn't care about what he said before, and his attention seemed to be attracted by the "genuine" Taoist priest, and asked: "Then where did he learn it? Laoshan? Or Wudang?"

"..." Looking at his gossip, Yang Yang couldn't help but rolled his eyes, "Neither, I haven't heard him say it, but he doesn't seem to be from a big school. Hey, I said you asked questions politely." What is this for?"

"I want to learn!" Dai Xia said with righteous words on his face, "Look at this kind of thing I encountered this time, if I was a Taoist myself, wouldn't I be afraid? People always have to have a skill when they walk in the rivers and lakes. Yes!"

While the two were talking, Hong Yuan said, "Dai Xia, go down and prepare for the opening tonight. I have something to tell them."

Hearing Hong Yuan's words, the other party nodded, smiled at them, said goodbye and went downstairs.

As soon as the person left, Dancing in the Rain said, "Do you know why we are here today?"

"I know." Hong Yuan smiled slightly, "But I also have something to tell you."

When Yuan Mu heard the other party's tone, he also chuckled lightly: "Tell me first, we may be talking about the same thing.

After hearing this, Hong Yuan didn't refute, and said directly: "It's like this. After I heard Dai Xia's reason for moving, I sent someone to investigate."

As she spoke, she looked at everyone's reactions and saw everyone's expressions of "and then", she went on to say: "I thought he was lying, but the investigators came back and said that there was indeed this things."

"Are you so sure?" Zhou Liang raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Because it's not just Dai Xia, many people have seen it." Hong Yuan glanced at everyone present, and then continued, "Even if Dai Xia lied, it's impossible for everyone living in that area to lie, right? Who would move for a lie?."

Hearing this, Yang Yang finally understood why he always felt that something was wrong when he left Dai Xia's house that day.

The reason is the number of people.

Dai Xia lived in an old community built in the 90s. Although the hardware facilities were a bit poor, the surrounding environment was good.

Most of the residents in this kind of community are retired old men and women. On weekdays, as long as it doesn't rain, there will be old people in twos and threes doing morning exercises near the community.

And it happened to be early in the morning when they left that day, and the weather was very clear, but there was no one in the community or even in the nearby small park.Occasionally one or two people pass by and are in a hurry.

Now that I think about it again, the scene at that time was really weird.

Obviously at this time, Wu Zhongwu and the others also thought of the reason for this, and the room fell silent for a while.

"But, if it's really haunted, why didn't anything happen after we went that day? It wasn't just Dai Xia's house. We went to the nearby Chang'an Road according to the route he sorted out from his takeaway notes. Nothing abnormal was found either." Yang Yang raised his own question.

And this is not only what he wants to know, but also the core issue of this haunting incident.

Just as the conversation in the room reached a stalemate, there was a sudden commotion downstairs.

Hong Yuan went to the window and saw that it was a woman in a trance who was twisting her waist on the empty dance floor.And the foreman on the side is trying to persuade.

It's just that the woman didn't seem to hear, still twisting her body crazily.

Seeing this, the foreman tried to persuade him a few more words, but after finding it was useless, he turned around and asked someone to find a few waitresses to come out, trying to pull the woman off the dance floor.

Who knew that the waitresses had just approached, and the woman suddenly struggled like crazy, grabbed one of the waitresses and slapped her hard: "You vixen, I'll kill you!"

This sudden action stunned everyone present, and the waitress who was hit by her covered her face with a puzzled and aggrieved face, tears streaming down her face.

"Quickly pull people away." Somebody yelled, and everyone came back to their senses.

Yang Yang, who saw this kind of scene for the first time, was taken aback, but when he looked at Yuan Mu and the others again, he seemed to be accustomed to it. He turned his head to look at Hong Yuan: "This... this is a door-to-door look for Xiaosaner coming?"

Hong Yuan sneered, and was not in a hurry to answer Yang Yang's question, but pressed the internal number and said, "Call the police and say that we have a drug addict here."

After hanging up the phone, she began to explain: "You look down on the employees in my store too much, they don't bother to be people like Xiao San'er. I guess this woman must have taken ecstasy somewhere and had hallucinations. Run to me to make a fool of yourself."

After speaking, she opened the door of the office and walked towards the first floor. After all, when something happened in her territory, her boss would always come forward to control the situation.

At this moment, although the troublemaker woman was dragged off the dance floor, she was still in a state of madness. Hong Yuan leaned on the railing of the stairs, waved her hand inadvertently, and a cyan light sank into the woman's back. , Then, she became quiet as if someone had tapped her acupuncture points.

"Take her to the back, Xiaorui, go back and have a good rest today, and then I will ask the accountant to add 500 yuan to your salary this month, which will be regarded as work-related compensation." Hong Yuan opened her mouth to arrange the follow-up Things turned around and went back to the office.

And the beaten waitress named Xiaorui nodded with joy, without the grievance just now, and went back to the staff locker room to pack up and prepare to go back first.

Yang Yang, who had witnessed the whole process of the development of the incident, had to admire at this moment, a slap of 500 yuan was really not in vain.

It seems that this group of thousand-year-old monsters really look good when they are bosses, such as Hong Yuan and Hu Weixian.

After a while, the police came and took the troubled woman away. After checking, she really took drugs.

Yang Yang had heard before that drug use can cause hallucinations, but he didn't expect it to be so terrible.

Just as he was feeling, a flash of lightning suddenly flashed in his mind.

Drugs... hallucinations...
