Lin Xingzhou sent Tian Qian to a taxi at the entrance of the restaurant, and he crossed the road to approach Wei Zhi's car, and found that there was actually someone in the car.

Soon he was invited into the car by the other party, and couldn't help but ask straight to the point: "You are waiting here for me? Didn't you say you have something to do? Why don't you go back first?"

Wei Zhi started the car on fire: "It's just an excuse."

"Then why don't you come to dinner with us?"

Wei Zhi tilted his head, made eye contact with the other party and then staggered, then drove the car out of the parking space: "I won't eat with you, the main reason is that I generally don't eat human food."

Lin Xingzhou was silent for two seconds: "Human? Are you not a human?"

Both of them didn't seem to realize that there was something wrong with these words, Wei Zhi glanced at him out of the corner of his eye: "We've been in touch for so long, do you think I'm human?"

The slope leading to the non-motorized lane was blocked by a very unqualified car. Wei Zhi had no choice but to drive the car off the curb. The body shook violently. Lin Xingzhou's serious thinking was instantly interrupted, and he subconsciously said: "It really doesn't look like it."

He nodded to himself, accepting the reality with extremely high psychological endurance: "So what the hell are you?"

Wei Zhi didn't say anything.

Lin Xingzhou turned his head to look at him, as if he really wanted to find some clues from him, but he couldn't figure out why after looking him from head to toe. You can't travel in the sun, I think you are not affected at all, and you have a shadow. Other things... High technology? Artificial intelligence? The current technology has not developed to this point, has it?"

"You have to know," Wei Zhi said, "not all ghosts are afraid of the sun, but the ghosts you have seen so far are all low-level little ghosts. Their abilities are limited and they are not strong enough to resist the sun."

Lin Xingzhou raised his eyebrows: "So, you are a 'senior ghost'?"

Wei Zhi pretended not to hear, and continued his own voice: "In the future, when you receive missions with four stars or higher, you will see ghosts who are not afraid of the sun and can haunt during the day."

Lin Xingzhou was taken aback when he heard this - if all the tasks released by the app are related to "ghosts", then what about the random special task?The mission level is linked to the ghost's level. As the target of the six-star mission, Wei Zhi's level is higher than all ghosts?

He was about to speak when Wei Zhi suddenly said before him, "I'm home."

Lin Xingzhou: "..."

He twitched his brows with a headache, smiled helplessly, and sighed, "You are good everywhere, but there is one thing, you always say half of what you say, and leave the other half. It's very disgusting. It's the rhythm of obsessive-compulsive disorder, understand?"

"Get out of the car."

Lin Xingzhou also began to be "selectively deaf", turning a deaf ear to his words: "I don't care what you are, human or ghost, anyway, I am reborn because of you, and you are also my savior and my boss. Humans have no other advantages, but they are single-minded. Once they decide to do something, they will try their best to do it well, be it painting or catching ghosts. Now that they have joined ghost hunting, they will definitely not quit halfway, so—"

He said and opened the car door: "It will be a long time in the future. For those things that you haven't explained clearly, I have the patience to wait slowly. Sooner or later, you will tell the whole story. Isn't that the truth?"

Lin Xingzhou jumped out of the car: "Anyway, thank you for today's matter. If you need me in anything, please call me at any time...Although I feel that the probability is very low."

Wei Zhi watched him enter the community all the time, and he was completely out of sight, so he got out of the car slowly, and said something softly while holding the car door.

"Shadow...?"

The small shadow gathered under his feet suddenly shook violently, as if something was constantly struggling inside, Wei Zhi looked down, and the "shadow" instantly became calm again, as if nothing had happened.

"Won't let you," he said into the void, "forever."

Lin Xingzhou strolled downstairs of his house, but he didn't go upstairs immediately. Instead, he went around 102 and checked every window, and found that none of them were open, and all the curtains were drawn without exception.

"Strange," he said to himself, "does anyone really live there?"

It has been nearly half a month since he saw the little girl last time. Although it is true that the child can not go out during the holidays, the parents have to go to work anyway. He has never seen the so-called "parents" in the girl's mouth. ".

So what kind of moths live in 102?

The second monk Lin Xingzhou couldn't figure it out, and turned to go upstairs with [-] points of doubt, only to find that there was no one at home.

A note was left on the coffee table, which read: Brother, I went out for dinner, and I will be back at night.

Lin Xingzhou smiled helplessly, and said that his younger sister really couldn't be idle for a moment. Although they were brothers and sisters, the two had completely different personalities and habits—Lin Xingzhou would not go out if he did not go out, and Lin Danyang would not go home if he could not go home .

Bored, he got into the bedroom and began to revise the draft, but for some reason, this claw was a little out of control of the brain, and the character in his pen became... Wei Zhi.

The image of someone wielding a knife in Wei couldn't get out of his mind, so he simply stopped what he was doing, took out his notebook and quickly completed a sketch.

Lin Xingzhou sighed, closed the computer absently, went to the balcony to smoke a cigarette, and then called Lu Jie.

He asked the other party about Ye Zhi concisely, but Lu Jie faltered and talked about him deliberately, but refused to tell the truth honestly.

As friends for so many years, the two are roundworms in each other's stomachs. Lin Xingzhou knew that it would be useless to persuade him, so he had to let him go, leaving a sentence "If you want to talk, feel free to contact me".

So Master Lin spent several days in a state full of old Wei, and suddenly received a call from Lu Jie one weekend.

"Swimming?" Lin Xingzhou was puzzled, "Why do you suddenly want to swim?"

"Decompression," Lu Jie said in a low voice, "If you have nothing to do, come and accompany me. I originally wanted to call the people from the company, but Tian Qian's sister-in-law couldn't go there, and I didn't want to call others without her." move, so..."

Lin Xingzhou deliberately dragged out an "oh" and said, "You think of me because no one is with you?"

Lu Jie was silent for three seconds, and defended himself very clumsily: "I'm afraid that your resistance will be weak after taking medicine... If you can come, come, if you can't, forget it, I will find someone else."

"Is there something you want to tell me?"

Lu Jie didn't say a word, and Lin Xingzhou said again: "You can go, but it's agreed in advance that I won't go into the water."

"Okay, no problem, then it's settled, I'll pick you up at your house tomorrow afternoon—is Danyang coming or not?"

Lin Xingzhou wondered if you could tell the truth when someone else was around, and lied casually: "She's not at home, she went out to play with her classmates."

"OK then."

The two hit it off immediately, and Lu Jie drove into "Beiyuan" on time the next afternoon, and took Lin Xingzhou to the swimming pool with him.

The weather was frighteningly hot that day, and it was still a sunny day with bright sun shining brightly. I knew that the noise made my head ache.Lin Xingzhou himself doesn't remember the last time he went swimming. Maybe he drew more swimming pools in comics than he went in person.

A local tyrant like Mr. Lu needs a membership card for various entertainment and fitness places, but the number of times he actually goes is very small, and his body health index is actually not a few stars higher than that of the "crunchy" Lin.

The two were changing their trousers in the locker room. As soon as Lin Xingzhou took off his clothes, he was hit by Lu Jie's "iron sand palm": "Brother, I said you are too thin, eat more, your ribs will be broken off!" You can’t pick out even two taels of meat.”

Lin Xingzhou ignored him, moved someone's claws away from his chest, and was not interested in being bigger than a bird with him, so he walked out with his swimming cap.

Lu Jie followed behind relentlessly, and he had to hook his shoulders and back, and even stretched out his hand to pinch his head: "It's strange, don't you lose your hair?"

"...You want me to be bald so much?"

Lin Xingzhou rolled his eyes at him very depressed. He knew that Wei Zhi's seal was probably the reason why he was able to survive until now, but he couldn't tell Lu Jie. The truth comes easily.

The two made jokes all the way, but when they actually entered the swimming pool, Lin Xingzhou regretted it again.

Although he doesn't have social phobia, he is still a little timid in the face of the pot of "dumplings" in the swimming pool. He really can't figure out why the surname Lu must come to such a place for excitement.

So he simply sat down by the pool, Lu Jie plunged down, then popped up again, wiped the water from his face, and pulled his ankle: "I said, are you here to swim or not?" To soak your feet?"

"I said I won't go into the water," Lin Xingzhou remained motionless, looking down at him condescendingly, "You swim while I watch, isn't it good?"

Lu Jie: "..."

The great Mr. Lu was completely overwhelmed by this brother's lazy temperament, shook his head, and dived twice on his own, then stopped beside him, stretched his arms on the edge of the pool, and climbed onto the shore.

Then he sighed softly: "Xingzhou, I want to tell you something."

Lin Xingzhou finally waited for him to speak, thinking that this trip was not in vain, and said "Yeah", "Say it."

"I kind of... don't want to chase the goddess anymore."

Lin Xingzhou couldn't help being taken aback—he thought that when Lu Jie asked him out, at best he would complain about his bad feelings and complain about his relationship. He didn't expect it to go straight to the step of "don't want to continue". It seems that the last time This incident really hurt Mr. Lu's tempered glass heart.

Lin Xingzhou was silent for a moment, then asked in a low voice, "Have you already decided?"

"Not yet," Lu Jie sighed again, "You said that I've been chasing her for so many years, so she should be moved even if she has a hard heart? And you said how could I not be worthy of her? Back then, she thought I was worthless. But now that I'm promising, why can't she give me a chance?"

He scratched his calf very irritably, probably because of the itching: "Also, she hasn't found a partner all these years, and she hasn't told me that she's not married, but if she has a boyfriend who cuts off my thoughts, I won't." I will always pester her. I think I am really kind enough to her, or you can just reject me directly. I have been ambiguous all the time. I clearly promised me to eat, but turned around and let me go, treating me like a monkey. play?"

Lin Xingzhou looked at him scratching, and inexplicably felt that the soles of his feet were starting to itch, and couldn't help rubbing his feet together: "Coincidentally, Tian Qian said the same thing."

After scratching his left leg, Lu Jie scratched his right leg: "I haven't contacted her for many days, and she didn't take the initiative to contact me. You say...or just break it like this. It's been almost ten years, and it's okay to continue. Meaning, I’m still making things difficult for myself all day long.”

"Don't be too busy getting discouraged," Lin Xingzhou said, "To tell you the truth, I have nothing to do these two days, so I checked Ye Zhi's company and added the WeChat accounts of several of her colleagues. After chatting, I found out that Ye Zhi This guy is kind of evil."

Lu Jie turned his head: "Where is the evil door?"

"I have always thought that if you can like someone for so many years, this person must have her special qualities. Ye Zhi's colleagues also said the same, saying that she is gentle, generous, efficient, and 'does what she says' .”

Lu Jie immediately grasped the point: "Words must be followed?"

"Did you find out?" Lin Xingzhou looked at him and said, "As far as I know, Ye Zhi has promised you many times and then backed down, but he backed out in a timely manner, and he didn't embarrass you like this time, so you always She didn't care about it either. However, several of her colleagues mentioned to me that she "does what she says" and that Ye Zhi agreed to some things, but she still insisted on finishing them even though the other party had forgotten about them—this shows that What?"

Lu Jie was a little puzzled: "What?"

"It means that she is only going back on promises to you alone."

Lu Jie: "..."

After hearing this, Mr. Lu vomited out a mouthful of old blood, and almost heard the sound of his own glass heart shattering into shards.

Lin Xingzhou didn't seem to notice his grief, and continued to say solemnly: "I'm not joking with you, and it is precisely because of this that I think she is very evil."

Mr. Lu swallowed back his worthless efforts with tears in his eyes: "Why?"

"You think, what is the difference between you and her colleagues? It is that they are just ordinary friends, and you want to chase her. If a person can treat ordinary friends as well as relatives, how can she treat you How about treating this suitor differently who 'treats her more than ordinary friends' and 'does her wholeheartedly without any shortcomings'?"

Lu Jie was completely dizzy: "...Speak humanly."

Lin Xingzhou spread his hands helplessly: "Well, actually, I just want to say that maybe none of you have considered one thing——Ye Zhi may have a split personality."

"……what?"

Lin Xingzhou actually had another possibility in his mind, but facing Lu Jie, he could only explain it scientifically: "When I was chatting with her colleague, I carefully revealed that 'I have a friend who wants to chase Ye As a result, the colleague asked me to let him dispel this idea as soon as possible, and told me a very interesting thing."

He didn't wait for Lu Jie to stop, and continued on his own: "She said that there was a man in their company who wanted to chase Ye Zhi, and this man had a good relationship with Ye Zhi before, but when he really mustered up the courage to go Confession, Ye Zhi 'like a different person', rejected the other party very annoyed, but when she went to work the next day, she continued to greet that male colleague with a smile as if nothing had happened."

He looked at Lu Jie: "Did you think of anything? Did Ye Zhi treat you the same way? He accepted your invitation, turned around and refused, but he will still accept it next time."

Lu Jie rubbed his chin: "You say it like this... I felt that she took the initiative to show love to me several times, but when I went further, she rejected me very angrily, and then I coaxed, I didn't dare to contact her for several days, but she would ask me why I didn't talk to her again."

Lin Xingzhou nodded: "So I doubt Ye Zhi's split personality very much. Her own personality may want to accept you very much, but once it exceeds a certain limit, another personality will jump out to resist, so it will happen again and again. Back and forth."

"But even if this is the case, why does her other personality reject me? Does she really want to be single for the rest of her life?" Lu Jie looked confused, and suddenly, for some reason, he started scratching his legs frantically again, "What is it? , why is it so itchy?"

Lin Xingzhou followed him and looked down—there were some hairs wrapped around Lu Jie's legs!

Lu Jie quickly took off his hair, and asked strangely, "Where did it come from? Everyone is wearing swimming caps, how can they have such long hair?"

Lin Xingzhou didn't realize something, and grabbed his arm: "No."

"What's wrong?"

Before the end of the word "right" fell, there was a commotion in the swimming pool. Someone in the deep water area panicked and shouted: "Drowning, someone is drowning!"

The lifeguard on the shore jumped into the water quickly when he heard the call for help. Lin Xingzhou frowned and stared at the water surface, and completed the second half of his sentence: "There is something in the water."

Lu Jie looked at him inexplicably, when another scream came from the other side of the deep water area: "Someone is drowning here too!"

Immediately afterwards, the shallow water area also began to suffer: "What, what is pulling me... ah!"

Screams directly cut through the air above the swimming pool, a pot of "dumplings" boiled instantly, and the timid and poor water began to roll towards the escalator in a hurry. Shouts and cries came and went, making a complete mess.

"What's going on?" Lu Jie quickly put his legs dangling in the water back to the shore, "What's the situation? How could so many people drown at the same time?"

The swimming pool is only this big, and there is only one lifeguard, so if you save one, you have to lose sight of the other...not to mention that you can't even take care of "this".

The lifeguard had already picked up the first drowning person very efficiently, but for some reason, he could barely get her head out of the water, and could not send her to the shore. There seemed to be an invisible force in the water that was constantly Pulling the drowning person continuously and dragging her to the bottom of the water, the lifeguards could only struggle with it. No one could achieve their goal for a while, and they remained stalemate on the spot.

"Hair," Lin Xingzhou said suddenly, "There is something in the water, something unclean."

Seeing that the lifeguards couldn't get away from them, and some of them with good water skills had spontaneously rescued the other two drowning persons, Lin Xingzhou stared at the swimming pool, his eyes seemed to pass through the turbulent water surface and fall deeper into the bottom, barely catching some dark shadows .

Before he came, he hadn't thought that supernatural events could happen in the swimming pool, so he forgot to bring the talisman paper with him, and even if he brought it, the talisman paper could not be used in the water, nor would it be useful.

So he had no choice but to touch the seal on his wrist - when he dealt with Jiang Fen last time, the other party was obviously afraid of this thing, so maybe this one in the water is also afraid of it now.

Lin Xingzhou thought so, and reached out to grab Lu Jie's head: "Lend me the swimming goggles!"

"……What?"

When Lu Jie was stunned, this guy had already grabbed something and plunged into the water. The splashed water collapsed him, and he couldn't help shouting: "You are crazy, you! Do you think your life is long if you continue to know the danger? !"

It's a pity that Lin Xingzhou had already dived underwater and didn't hear this.

The depth of the swimming pool is two meters deep, and through the swimming goggles, you can clearly see the bottom of the water - the hair that was wrapped around Lu Jie's legs before, there are still a lot of them in the water, and these hairs seem to be alive. Flexibly twisted into strands, trying to wrap around people's legs.

Lin Xingzhou silently looked at those moving things, and felt that he must have had a conflict with "hair" recently.

He surfaced to take a breath, and then dived again. Not far away, there was a bubble of bubbles. It was obvious that the drowning man who had been frightened was struggling wildly, and there were lifeguards and other helpers beside him.

A handful of hair as thick as a child's arm was wrapped around the ankles of the drowning girl. The hair could not be seen from where it came from, but it was very strong, and it kept pulling her to the bottom of the water.The buddy next to her obviously noticed it too, and dived into the water to try to help her untie it, but it was obvious that a human being in the water was not as flexible as her hair. In addition, she kept struggling, no matter how she untied it, she couldn't get it out, and instead it became more tightly entangled. .

To say that Lin Xingzhou's swimming skills are only at an average level, it is enough to thump in the pool, but diving is really a bit difficult for him.He was afraid that he would lose his breath if the girl kicked him on him, and he didn't want to play "one life for another life" with her. His arms brought himself down just enough to reach the lock of hair.

He wiped the hair with his left wrist, and the moment he touched it, the other party suddenly retracted like an octopus retracting its claws, and retreated from the girl in the blink of an eye.

The drowning man was finally rescued, and Lin Xingzhou held his breath. He stretched out his hand to the buddy, who immediately understood what he meant, grabbed him and brought him to the surface of the water.

Lin Xingzhou took a deep breath, turned his head and smiled back: "Thank you."

However, he hadn't finished the second word "thank you" when he suddenly felt that something was entangled in his ankle, and his body sank down suddenly.
