The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 279 Countermeasures
As for what the fake Lu Shi didn't accomplish?Yuan Mu didn't intend to make it clear, he stood up, took the Soul Gathering Orb from the cushion and handed it to Xiaochen, saying, "Lu Shi's soul fire is in your hand, and here is our Now I can find all the spirits about him, I will give it to you, and you must keep it safe."

"Don't worry, I will take good care of it." Xiaochen took the bead in his hand, nodded and said, "Since he believed me to hand over the soul fire to my hand, then I will definitely do it for you now. He took good care of the bead."

"That's good. Apart from Lu Shi's trust in you, I handed him over to you. There is another main reason. His soul fire is with you. With the soul fire, he can bless the rest of the soul. In this way It may be possible to slow down the time for the spirit to dissipate."

Yuan Mu said, and added: "Oh, right, you don't need to go back to your hot pot restaurant during this time, and live with Yue Bing. That way you two can take care of each other if something happens."

What he said was very euphemistic, and he didn't specify exactly what it was, but fortunately Xiaochen was a very smart person, and the others were not stupid, so they understood what he was talking about almost instantly, so Xiaochen nodded and replied, "Okay, no problem."

After settling these matters, Yuan Mu turned his head, looked at the crowd and said, "Then, we will stop here for the time being on this matter today, and I will go and see Lao Gu later.

Such a big thing happened, I don't know if he heard the news.But no matter what, there are some things I still want to discuss with him. "

As for what to discuss, he didn't say, and it's hard for other people to ask.So, this meeting was broken up.Yuebing returns to Hexingmen with Xiaochen who is holding the beads.And Ning Yuan didn't go home because he was afraid that something might happen and he couldn't make it by himself, so he lived directly in the shop next door.

Because of these, this small alley, which was deserted at other times except for the peak hours when guests were dining, suddenly became lively.After Yang Yang sent everyone away, he closed the shop door.

At the moment when the door was closed, he looked up at the moon. For some reason, he felt that the moon tonight was particularly strange, as if there was a faint red light covering it.

At this time, Michelle, who had been standing behind him and looking at the moon outside with him, suddenly spoke, and she said, "Do you know? This kind of moon was called a hairy moon a long time ago."

"I know this." Although I don't know why the well-behaved Michelle brought this up, Yang Yang still answered subconsciously: "I remember my uncle told me a long time ago that if it rains the next day, There will be a layer of halo outside the moon, which used to be called the moon with a hat, but later it has a fortress, and this kind of moon looks like looking through frosted glass, so it is called a hairy moon."

"Really? Is there still such a saying?" Michelle was obviously curious about what he said. After she asked a question, she continued the topic she had just said, and said, "But do you know? In our saying, seeing such Bad things will definitely happen to the moon, especially when the halo outside is a little red, which means ominous."

Her words made Yang Yang's heart skip a beat. After all, the two had known each other for more than a year and nearly two years. Although Yang Yang knew that she was a witch, he only knew that.

In many cases, Michelle behaved like an ordinary girl, and she never took the initiative to mention anything related to the witch and these things to him.

But on this night, she suddenly opened her mouth to say these things to herself, which made Yang Yang get goosebumps all over.

Besides, she still talked about such an unlucky topic, which made Yang Yang think of many terrible possibilities in his heart, and all these thoughts revolved around a question, if Lu Shi could not be Lu Shi, then Michelle was still Mi Xueer. Cher?

Fortunately, Michelle didn't give him too much time to think about this matter. After seeing Yang Yang's expression changed, she suddenly realized what she had just said.She looked at Yang Yang apologetically, as if apologizing for scaring him with her recklessness, she said, "Ah, sorry, I shouldn't have said this to you, and you probably aren't interested either."

"No, I'm actually quite interested in these things." Yang Yang shook his head immediately when he saw that she had returned to her usual appearance, "It's just that I'm a little tired today..."

"Oh, by the way, you are indeed tired today. If you have nothing else to do, close the shop and go to rest. We will talk about these things later." Michelle nodded immediately after hearing this.

"Well, okay, then you should go to bed early too, good night!" Yang Yang nodded indiscriminately as he said that, he felt that everyone was very strange tonight, but he couldn't say what was strange about it.

It seemed that because of Lu Shi's affairs, everyone fell into a psychological vicious circle.While implying that he has nothing to do with it, don't doubt it, while doubting every seemingly unusual behavior of the people around him.

And because of the uneasiness in my heart, I will do things that seem very unusual in the eyes of others. This is simply an endless vicious circle.

But just like Yuan Mu said, Yang Yang believes that everything will be fine.All they need is time, time and each other's actions to rebuild trust between each other.

Just like a torn muscle will become stronger after it grows back, Yang Yang believes that once trust is broken, once it is rebuilt, it will become more stable and stronger than before.And he firmly believes that the trust between them will be rebuilt, it's just a matter of time.

On the other side, after Yuan Mu left the dim sum shop, he drove directly to Gu Menghan's residence, but unexpectedly, he who always liked to sleep at home when he had nothing to do, was not at home this time.

After Yuan Mu exhausted all kinds of methods but failed to open the door, he finally gave up on this decision, took out his mobile phone, called Gu Menghan, and said when the call was transferred to the answering machine again, "If you hear this If there is a message, someone will contact me as soon as possible, I have something important to discuss with you."

After saying this, Yuan Mu turned his head and glanced at the pitch-black house with the door tightly locked. He finally sighed, turned around, got into the car, and drove away.

Not far behind him, the cry of a wild cat can be heard, and in the dark night, it can be heard far, far away...

Early the next morning, when Yang Yang opened the door, he ushered in a person who could be called a rare visitor in normal times.

The man stood at the door and looked at him. Yang Yang opened the door flattered and said, "Why are you here? Come in, come in!"

The man glanced at him and yawned, "I don't want to come either, but Yuan Mu told me to come here earlier... What? Has he not arrived yet?"

Hearing his words, Yang Yang suddenly remembered what Yuan Mu said before leaving yesterday, so he shook his head and said, "No, I didn't see him, didn't we just open the door?"

"Then I'll go in and wait for him." The man stretched his waist again, and ordered while walking, "Well, bring me a glass of kumquat and lemon to refresh myself."

"Okay, wait a moment." Yang Yang followed him into the store, and nodded in response.

As the first business order in the morning, Michelle sang a plate of snacks along with the drink. When the customer ate the snacks, he said happily, "Oh, if I knew that I would not only have free snacks in the morning, but also If it’s just out of the oven, then I’ll be here a long time ago.”

Seeing his happy face, Yang Yang smiled and said, "If you like to eat, why don't you come here every morning? If it's you, I believe Xue'er will be very happy to leave a portion for you every morning."

There is no problem with his words alone, but it is the biggest problem for the person who came. You must know that the person who came is none other than Gu Menghan.

He is a person who usually sleeps most of the day, and it is not bad to have four hours when he is usually awake. How could he still have time to come over for snacks?Especially the morning snack.For this joke, the two glanced at each other, and then smiled knowingly.

They were laughing here, when suddenly the sound of wind chimes came from the door, the two turned their heads, and saw Yuan Mu walking in with a tired face, and he nodded at Michelle at the cashier counter. He greeted them, then walked straight up to the two of them and said, "What were you talking about when I wasn't around? You looked very happy just now."

"I didn't talk about anything, it's just some irrelevant topics." Gu Menghan replied, he looked up at Yuan Mu, and asked: "Tell me, what important things do you need to ask me? It was still in the middle of the night last night." Call me and leave a message..."

"Speaking of this, I still want to ask, were you at home last night?" Yuan Mu nodded and asked.

"Well, yes. Some things went out. What? You went to my house to find me?" Seemingly surprised by his answer, Gu Menghan raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, I went to your house to look for you, but found that you were not there. So you left me a message saying that you have something important to ask me."

Yuan Mu did not deny his whereabouts last night, but made a short explanation.Then he turned his head and said to Yang Yang, "There aren't many people in the store right now, so don't get too busy, let's briefly tell him what happened last night."

"Okay." Yang Yang responded after hearing the words, and after quickly handing over the tray in his hand to Michelle, he walked over and found a chair to sit down.

After he sat down, Yuan Mu began to talk about the meeting they had the night before. He spoke quickly and recounted everything in less than 10 minutes. After he finished speaking, he read the Looking at Gu Menghan, he asked, "What should we do next?"
