Aoba Office

The time for making the deal with the devil was 2021, which was two years ago.

If the devil had followed the promise, it would have killed the bike-sharing spirit.

I talked to Wu Ling. Nangong Yao still needs to investigate this matter. As long as you check whether the person who died of that spirit before is alive or dead, you can know the answer.

Before I went out, Wu Ling had not replied to my message.

I am very careful when I go out.

I glanced at the shared bicycle parked at the entrance of the community. There were no strange figures near the cars. The spirit did not appear.

I still walk around those cars.

When I got on the bus and looked at the shared bicycles on the non-motorized lane, I didn't see anything strange.

Along the way, I didn't encounter any car accidents.

This should be a good sign.

But when he arrived at the unit, Wu Ling sent a message saying that the people who had died before were still dead. The only difference is that their methods of death are slightly different. He was also hit and killed by a car, but the specific injuries changed.

I was worried. I didn’t know if the devil had missed it or if the shared bike had died and reappeared, but he still looked full of malice and killed people wantonly.

I told Shouzi and the others that when I went to the Sixth Village of Workers and Peasants, I still took the car there alone.

When I arrived at the gate of Gongnong Liu Village, I saw shared bicycles parked on the sidewalk. Two or three cars were parked there, and they all seemed to be damaged. Either the wheels were dented, or there were problems with the front of the car or the seat. I still don't see the spirit.

At noon, I went to Qingye Supernatural Office.

Maybe Ye Qing could confirm things that Wu Ling and Nangong Yao couldn't confirm. After all, he has truly faced the demon and the spirit of the shared bicycle, so he should have a deeper understanding.

I went upstairs, feeling the cold Yin Qi as usual, took out the key and opened the door.

Behind the door, there is a gloomy atmosphere, but it is not unpleasant.

Ye Qing's Yin Qi is not malicious, it is not the evil Yin Qi.

I walked in, sat down on the sofa, thought for a while, and then got straight to the point and talked about my current predicament.

"...That's it. There's no way to know for sure whether that spirit is dead or not. If you can't be sure, in the future...my daily life will be very troublesome."

That spirit is always a nuisance. There is something like that staring at you, ready to kill you at any time, it is really hard to guard against.

Fortunately, this is a bicycle sharing spirit. To put it bluntly, it is a bicycle. Compared with electric cars and motorcycles, their lethality is much smaller, let alone four-wheeled vehicles. If it hits me directly, I'm not afraid. But the problem is that many of the victims in car accidents are not the driver or the person who collided with the car head-on. In many cases, car A avoids car B and hits innocent passerby C on the side of the road. There is really no place to complain.

In this case, shared bicycle spirit probably cannot plan it on its own. But if it really hits the jackpot and succeeds, I will be dead.

When I think about this, I get a headache.

"Is there any way to go to the devil to make sure? You signed my name, and I don't feel anything at all now. I don't even know whether it has fulfilled its promise. It's best to dream about it again as soon as possible." I said.

I now believe that Ye Qing can control my dreams.

The change in time in my dream may have been caused by Ye Qing's intervention. He may not be able to fully control this ability of mine, but he is definitely more skillful than I am in using it myself.

I waited for a long time but didn't get Ye Qing's answer.

"Ye Qing?" I shouted uneasily.

Could it be that last night's dream consumed Ye Qing too much and he was on the verge of losing control now?

Thinking about the special features of the devil, and considering that I was confused for most of the dream state and was able to wake up at the last moment, I couldn't help but wonder if Ye Qing had done something.

"Ye Qing?" I shouted again, turning my head and looking around.

Squeak——

The door opened.

There was no one outside the door.

This scene is inexplicably terrifying.

But this should be the answer Ye Qing gave me.

I felt a little tight in my chest, but now that I got the answer, I got up and left.

Compared to Ye Qing's rudeness, I said "goodbye" politely.

As soon as he stepped out of the room, the door behind him slammed shut, not polite at all.

I smiled bitterly and walked downstairs.

At least Ye Qing is fine, so in the past two days, I should be able to dream about that demon again.

With this in mind, I will still be careful when traveling next time.

The thin man couldn't help but complain, "This thing is too troublesome. Why did it just see you?"

I feel puzzled too.

In dreams, I am often not seen or heard by anyone or ghosts, and I am in a state of no existence.

The spirit of the shared bicycle looks messy, and its abilities and behaviors are equally messy, but it is surprisingly powerful.

Is it because there are too many?

This is the only reason I can think of.

Spirit is born and exists because of human consciousness, and it also draws strength from it.

The spirit of games is very strong, because there are countless people playing games and many people who are obsessed with them. Users of shared bicycles are definitely not as good as gamers, and if you want to say they are obsessed, you can’t even talk about them. But if you include those who hate bike sharing and the people and things related to it, the number seems to increase a lot at once.

From the initial novelty, hot sales, various price wars, and large-scale launch, to the social problems that broke out later, as well as the constant "introduction of the old and new" news content, the popularity of shared bicycles has lasted for a long time. It's like a roller coaster, with highs and lows, ups and downs, but it continues. Every time it becomes a hot topic, it will get a lot of attention. From then on, it will leave an impression in people's minds.

"If you want to put it that way, does the Internet also have a spirit? An Internet ghost?" the thin man said suddenly.

Guo Yujie immediately slapped the thin man on the back.

The thin man grimaced in pain and glared at Guo Yujie.

"Be careful and don't talk nonsense." Guo Yujie choked instead.

Fatty reminded: "Don't forget your abilities."

The thin man immediately wilted and said, "If you think about it carefully, we have never encountered the ghost of the Internet. The Internet is just a tool. Focused on the Internet, it is similar to electricity and water power. Shared bicycles are also developed using the Internet. This kind of It’s impossible for a spirit to be born.”

People do not have strong emotions and complex thoughts about tools, so tools cannot be born.

This should be considered good news.

Otherwise, like the water and electricity mentioned by the thin man, which are the source of civilization, great inventions, and necessities of daily life, a spirit must be born. Such a spirit should be called a "god".

Chen Xiaoqiu looked thoughtful and suddenly asked: "What if it's a human being?"

The four of us didn't understand it for a while.

"If it is a historical celebrity, or a deceased star, with many fans. Will the fans' ideas create a spirit? A... star in another form?" Chen Xiaoqiu asked.

I was stunned.

That's a really good question.

"What's the use of such a spirit?" Thin Man asked, "Continue to be a star? A celebrity? An imitation show?"

"Yeah... that's right." Chen Xiaoqiu thought for a while, and judging from his expression, he gave up the idea.

At least, a few of us have never heard of such a thing in the entertainment industry. There shouldn't be any star whose spirit is among the living.
