Taboos in the Underworld: Starting from being paid a lot of money to beg for a child

"Wait a minute, old gentleman, we'll look at the horoscopes later. Why did you just say that I will be lucky if I survive a disaster?"

I asked.

Last time, a horoscope scared him away. Now that my appearance has changed, I might as well try to trick him first.

The old man chuckled and said:

"In a way, you have already died once just now. As for the future blessings I mentioned, it has nothing to do with you, but to do with the people around you. Your life is still your life."

"what?"

At this time, I was even more confused: "What do you mean?" The old man's words were somewhat profound.

The old man stood up, pointed to the automatic door inside the platform and said:

"Look, is that door ready?"

I stood up and took a look, and the automatic door I just fell down had indeed been closed.

"What does this mean?" I continued to ask.

The old man looked at me, then at the door and said:

"I have been here for several years, and the door has never malfunctioned. Last night when I was closing the stall and preparing to take the bus home, I saw a beam of red light coming from nowhere and hitting the door. I I knew it was a bad omen.”

"how to say?"

The old man made me more and more confused.

He continued:

"Unreasonable red light, evil ghost's substitute appears. I think there is an evil ghost wandering there, and its purpose is to find a substitute. Today I have been paying attention to that location, just to see which unlucky guy will die here."

When the old man said this, I understood instantly.

This kind of thing doesn't seem so strange to me.

There are many kinds of evil ghosts looking for substitutes. Like the water ghosts we are all familiar with, they must have a substitute before they can leave.

"So, you think I am destined to die but I am not dead. You have become interested in me and you want to hold me back because you want to see what is special about me, right? And what you said about having a good future is just to keep you here. You’re just looking for an excuse to get me, right?”

I said bluntly.

The old man admitted frankly:

"Yes, but you are only right. One is because I want to know what is special about you, and the other is because I see blessings in you. Unfortunately, these blessings do not belong to you."

I don’t know if I have any blessings, but my body is wrapped in a layer of yin energy wrapped in an iron egg. This layer of yin energy is used to change my appearance.

When he admitted that he wanted to see if there was anything special about me, he thought he was just saying that I would be blessed.

Who knew that he still said he saw blessings in me, which surprised me a little.

"Then who does the old gentleman think my blessing belongs to?"

The old man stared at my face for a long time. Instead of talking like other fortune tellers, he fell silent and murmured:

"It's strange. The blessing on your body is dark red. It seems to belong to you, but it doesn't seem to belong to you now."

"Haha, that belongs to me in the future. Forget it, don't worry about this issue. Old sir, please give me your horoscope."

I glanced at the automatic door inside the platform and made up my mind that I must come at night to catch this evil ghost looking for a substitute, otherwise someone will die over time.

"Okay, come on, please sit down."

I turned around and sat on the small bench again, and directly gave him the horoscope.

After reading my horoscope, I looked at him expectantly.

I hope he won't run away again this time. I'm sure he hasn't approved my horoscope after last time, otherwise he should know something about my current affairs.

What made me feel very relieved was that this time the old man did not turn around and run away. He just paused, stared at me with a shocked face and said:

"Is this horoscope yours? It's impossible, right? It doesn't match the face."

I chuckled and said:

"Of course it's mine. Did the old gentleman see anything?"

His mouth moved to understand, but he didn't speak for a long time. After being silent for a while, he said:

"A year ago, a young man came to me with this horoscope for approval. At that time, I turned around and ran away. Because this horoscope was too fierce, I didn't dare to approve it for fear of retribution. But I never expected that I would turn around and run away. But I gave him the signal more directly. I don’t know what he did for more than a year. People around him should have died one after another. Because of this incident, I did not escape when I suffered the karma. I had a rough year. I couldn't make ends meet, my house collapsed, I was homeless..."

When the old man said this, I inevitably felt a little sad.

If it hadn't been for this old man's reaction, I wouldn't have gone home right away, and I wouldn't have gone to see Master Wang. Master Wang wouldn't have introduced me to Master.

If you don't find Master, the following series of things will not happen.

The death of my wife, my master, and even Atai's death all seem to have some connection with me.

But things have already happened, and there is no point in worrying about it anymore.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the old man said:

"so..."

I stood up and said:

"Old man, I understand what you mean. I won't interrupt you. I'll see you later."

After getting off the overpass, I walked to the ordinary bus stop opposite to wait for the bus.

I know everything very well, and I fully understand his difficulties.

Apart from anything else, I feel ashamed of him for receiving karma because of me.

There is just one thing that makes me a little confused about what he said about seeing the blessing, and it does not belong to me now.

Even so, I quickly forgot about this matter. I am more willing to do things well now than to do things that are just smoke and mirrors.

It was already ten o'clock in the morning when we arrived at the Public Security Bureau.

Although I have been transformed by Tiedan, I still dare not go in arrogantly.

Because people can't see me, but the surveillance inside the Public Security Bureau can look at a monster in a mirror and bring me back to my original form.

I don't want to do such risky things.

I called Officer Yang from outside. After he came out, he asked me why I didn’t go in. I said:

"I can't hide under the camera. Have you examined that Ma Long?"

Officer Yang said:

"The trial has yielded no results. This kid is tough and fast. We have already found a lawyer. It's not easy to turn off the surveillance and continue to torture him now. If there is no definite evidence, he will be released tomorrow."

I hummed and said:

"Brother Yang, can you take him to the interrogation room for questioning? I'll let him stay here. By the way, what's the penalty for assaulting a police officer?"

Officer Yang said directly:

"It depends on the situation. If no harm is caused, it will only be five to ten days of detention and a fine."

"What about grabbing a gun and attacking a police officer?" I chuckled.

When he saw me asking for the gun, Officer Yang was a little surprised and said:

"Brother, nothing will go wrong, right?"

I nodded and said:

"There will be no problem. If you are worried, Brother Yang, you can remove the bullet inside and tell me how long the sentence will be."

Officer Yang said:

"If you seize the gun, you can get about ten years in prison. If you miss the shot, you can get 20 years."

"Okay, Brother Yang, take him to the interrogation room later, and turn on the surveillance. I will let him grab your gun and pull the trigger. This way, there will be evidence. Let's give him a heavy sentence first." , but Brother Yang, you have to make sure he doesn’t have any evil-proof items on him, it’s best to help him change his clothes.”

I laid out my plan.

Officer Yang nodded:

"Don't worry, I took out all his things after he was brought back last night, and I even found an excuse to put him in prison uniform. I'm going to interrogate him right now."

After he finished speaking, he turned to leave.

I quickly said:

"Brother Yang, wait, you have to take me to the next room, but I'm afraid of being caught on your surveillance camera."

Officer Yang chuckled and said maliciously:

"wait for me a while."

After waiting for nearly 5 minutes, Officer Yang ran out in a hurry.

After walking up to me, he pulled me behind the gate, then took out a black hood from his pocket and said:

"That way you won't be recognized."

I looked at him speechlessly, nodded and said, "Okay."

Officer Yang put a hood on my head and handcuffed me.

I was pulled into the office building of the Public Security Bureau, and after twisting and turning into a room, he reached out and took off the hood on my head, and helped me unlock the handcuffs.

"bathroom?"

I asked doubtfully, this Officer Yang really knows how to find a place. However, this toilet has stalls, which is quite suitable.

Officer Yang nodded and said:

"Well, the interrogation room next to the toilet is empty now, and it's the only place without surveillance. Brother, please feel aggrieved."

I nodded and said:

"Then go quickly and let me know when someone comes."

Officer Yang nodded and turned around and walked out. I also got into a toilet cubicle and locked the door from the inside.
