Why is My Second Dimension Weird?

Alian hesitated for a moment, bit her lip and nodded.

Xu Ming thought for a while, then turned around and took out a large stack of banknotes from his backpack.

These are all the sponsorships he got from those kind-hearted people in the society when he cleaned up the Kowloon Walled City these days.

Roughly counted, there is about forty to fifty thousand Hong Kong dollars.

This amount of money can't do any big business, but it's absolutely fine to use it for a small business.

Such a small Hong Kong dollar is useless for him to hold anyway, and it is too heavy to carry, so it is better to use it to help A-Lian.

"Here's the money for you."

Xu Ming pushed the banknote in front of A-Lian.

A-Lian had never seen so much money before, so she immediately waved her hands and refused.

"No! Master, you have helped me many times! I can't ask for your money anymore!"

A-Lian knew very well that it would have cost a lot to hire a capable master to exorcise evil spirits.

Xu Ming confiscated a penny from her, and even gave her a large sum of money.

Alian would never accept it.

Although Alian is poor, he is a person with principles and a bottom line.

Otherwise, with her beauty, she would go directly to the sea and earn more money faster.

Xu Ming didn't think so.

Although A Lian didn't know it herself, Xu Ming knew very well that A Lian was taking his life as his bait.

This amount of money is not even considered compensation.

Although Alian's physique is easy to attract ghosts, it will not be as exciting as it is now. Even when lying at home, ghosts will come to her.

In the final analysis, it was because Xu Ming, a foreigner, entered this world and changed the trajectory of Alian's fate.

Xu Ming is a person with clear grievances and grievances, and Alian has indeed helped him a lot

So one insisted on forcing the money over, while the other refused to accept it.

Seeing that Alian was so determined, Xu Ming thought for a while and said:

"It's better like this, just treat it as if I hired you, and you will be responsible for cleaning, washing and cooking for me. These are the wages paid in advance to you."

Relying on her own labor income, so Alian reluctantly accepted.

Although she had never seen such a talkative boss, she had advanced her wages for several years before starting work.

But she also made a good deal with Xu Ming.

"Now the price of hiring a Filipino maid is about 3000 Hong Kong dollars per month. I will work for you for one and a half years. Do you think it is okay?"

"OK, no problem!"

Xu Ming fully agreed.

His purpose was just to let A-Lian accept the money, anyway, he would leave this world after tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, after Alian received Xu Ming's money, she didn't mean to be perfunctory at all, and actually started working as a maid seriously.

First, I went to a nearby vegetable market to buy ingredients and breakfast, and then began to clean the entire room.

After a while, the room was completely new.

The original mild musty smell and stench completely disappeared, and the clothes were cleaned and put outside to dry.

For a while, Xu Ming felt that spending so much money to hire a full-time maid was not enough.

It's worth the money!

At noon, Alian cooked a sumptuous lunch for Xu Ming with the fresh ingredients bought in the morning.

The taste is actually quite good.

Out of curiosity, Xu Ming found out after asking that although Alian was only working as a waiter in a tea restaurant, she usually paid close attention to the situation in the back kitchen. She often observed the chef's cooking, and sometimes secretly practiced at home.

A Lian told Xu Ming that she planned to work hard to save a sum of money, first open her own stall, and then open a shop.

Hearing this, Xu Ming felt more and more that he had helped the right person.

Who doesn't like a diligent, serious, studious and self-motivated girl?

In the afternoon, Xu Ming still stayed at home to recharge his batteries, while thinking about sorting out the clues he had.

After midnight tonight is the Hungry Ghost Festival. Xu Ming knows very well that the period from sunset today to sunrise tomorrow is the most critical and dangerous moment.

Whether the darkness hidden under the Kowloon Walled City can be eliminated, whether the progress bar can be filled and the task can be successfully completed depends on tonight.

Success or failure is here!

Time is like running water, gone forever.

A huge flame disc slowly fell on the distant horizon, and the night once again enveloped the earth.

The brightly colored neon lights opened a colorful curtain for the night sky in Hong Kong.

Everything seemed to be no different from previous nights.

The entire Kowloon Walled City was filled with an extremely depressing atmosphere.

Affected by this atmosphere, the walled city became quiet, and from time to time one could see a few piles of sparking fires that were about to burn out in the streets and alleys.

A gust of inexplicable wind blew by, and a piece of unburnt earth-yellow paper money suddenly flew up, curled up and floated towards the sky.

Xu Ming ate the dinner prepared by A-Lian, put on his backpack and was about to go out.

Walking to the door, Xu Ming seemed to have remembered something, and suddenly turned around and looked at A-Lian seriously.

"Don't go anywhere tonight! Just stay at my house!

If anyone knocks on the door, including me, don't open the door!

Do you understand? ! "

"Okay, Master!"

Alian quickly nodded vigorously.

After going through so many strange things, tonight is Ghost Festival again, if she doesn't learn her lesson, she will become a hard-headed idiot.

Xu Ming smiled in satisfaction, turned around and walked towards the elevator.

Tonight is the last hunting time...

After descending from the elevator to the first floor, Xu Ming did not leave the building directly, but came to the security room on the other side.

In the security room of four to five square meters, the gray-haired old man sat on a chair and fell asleep soundly. The radio on the table was babbling and playing Cantonese opera. Next to the radio was an account book, a thermos cup and a cigarette ash filled with cigarette butts. cylinder.

Xu Ming shook his head, the guard was useless.

But he didn't say anything, and took one more look at the ashtray, then turned and left the building.

After going out for a walk, and returning to the building, he already had a plastic bag in his hand, which contained a whole pack of Marlboro cigarettes.

Xu Ming came to the security room again with Marlboro in hand.

He reached out and tapped lightly on the window of the security room.

clang clang!

Some cloudy glass made a soft noise, but the old man only moved his body when he heard the movement, and continued to sleep soundly in a more comfortable position.

"..."

In desperation, Xu Ming opened the window and shouted at the old man:

"Master! Master! Wake up!"

After calling several times, the old man woke up in a daze.

He glanced at Xu Ming, didn't get annoyed that Xu Ming woke him up, and said with a smile on his face:

"Liangzi, do you want to rent a room, or pay rent, utilities?"

Xu Ming shook his head.

"Master, I'm from the Ghost Magazine, and I'm investigating ghost events in various places for writing articles. I heard that this building once built an underground parking lot, which was later abandoned. There seem to be some unclean things in it. I don't know. It is inconvenient for you to open the underground parking lot, let me see..."

Xu Ming said and pushed the Marlboro in his hand.

Unexpectedly, the old man had a kind smile on his face, but when Xu Ming mentioned the underground parking lot, his expression changed drastically.

He looked around cautiously, then lowered his voice.

"Are you crazy!? Today is the Ghost Festival, why are you mentioning those things!? You are not afraid that those things will come to you!?"

As he said that, he directly pushed the Marlboro back.

"Take it back! I don't know what underground parking lot is!"

Xu Ming said whatever he wanted, but the old guard seemed to have some scruples, but he didn't let go. Xu Ming had no choice but to give up temporarily, and left the security room with Marlboro.

All the details indicate that the so-called "darkness" bred by the Kowloon Walled City in the system mission is likely to be in the underground parking lot under his feet.

Xu Ming has already determined the target and found it nearby, but he just missed the door, but he couldn't find it.

This feeling is so uncomfortable.

Moreover, the progress bar of the task is only 41% completed. There is only one way to reach the qualified standard in one night, and that is to follow the system prompts to eliminate the 'darkness' bred by the Walled City.

Xu Ming still didn't give up, he started wandering around on the first floor, trying to find the entrance to the underground parking lot.

It's a pity that he doesn't know anything about architecture, so he can't accurately guess where the entrance and exit are.

After searching for an hour or two, without any progress, Xu Ming began to become a little anxious.

Today is the Hungry Ghost Festival, and the gates of hell are wide open. There must be a lot of "dirty things" wandering in the Kowloon Walled City. If you work hard, if you are lucky, you may barely meet the standard.

With the thought of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, Xu Ming left the building helplessly.

Passing by the food stall at the door, Xu Ming walked towards the other direction of the walled city amidst the boss's silent persuasion.

"Pretty boy! You still go out at such a late hour!"
