After pompom enters Hades

There was a deathly silence in the cafe.

Mo Sijing and Uncle He looked at Zhu Ning in horror, as if they were afraid that he would suddenly explode into a pile of centipedes.

In the end, it was Zhu Ning who spoke first: "This..."

Afterwards, the eyes of Mo Sijing and Uncle He became even more frightened, and even Leng Yi, who had never cared much about the victim, took a step forward with pity, as if he wanted to hear Zhuning's last words.

Zhu Ning frowned slightly, very puzzled: "This...why is it sweet?"

Uncle He & Mo Sijing: "Huh?"

Zhu Ning thought they didn't understand what he meant, and explained carefully: "I mean, the thing in the water escaped from the coffee cup, it didn't bring coffee powder out, right, but why did it bring sugar out?"

For a while, the cafe became even quieter.

After a while, Uncle He said: "Young man, how do you feel now, what's wrong?"

Zhu Ning had no choice but to comfort the frightened people: "I have a good stomach since I was a child, no matter what I eat, I will not feel uncomfortable."

When Uncle He saw that Zhu Ning didn't care, he became anxious all of a sudden: "Young man, this is not the same! You used to eat something cold and spicy, can it compare with the things in the water?"

Mo Sijing was also a little speechless: "What have you eaten before?"

Zhu Ning: "Fifty grams of potassium cyanide."

Everyone: "..."

"I didn't eat it on purpose, I accidentally choked on it, it's only [-] grams..." Zhu Ning saw the eyes of several people and quickly explained, but seeing the eyes of several people who were getting more and more frightened, he had to change the topic abruptly, " By the way, what are those things in the water?"

Unexpectedly, Uncle He slapped the table: "You dare to drink without knowing?!"

Zhu Ning: "..."

Uncle He was heartbroken: "Hey, you are a good young man, why don't you know how to spare your life? Can a ghost be stepped on like a rag? Can moving water be touched?"

Zhu Ning: "I..."

Uncle He: "Hey, all the ghosts are walking in the night, and the young people nowadays are not afraid of anything!"

Zhu Ning: "Actually, I'm particularly afraid of the dark..."

Uncle He choked.

Zhu Ning spoke weakly, and asked the question that had troubled him for a long time again: "What is that moving water column?"

Several people could tell that Zhu Ning was not lying. This young man was really afraid of the dark. As for why he dared to drink the moving water, of course it was because this silly boy didn't know!

Leng Yi shook his head and sighed in a position where Zhu Ning could not see, as if to say that he had been the CEO for so long and had seen many social elites, but he had never seen such an unsavvy young man.

Mo Sijing kicked Leng Yi under the table, and at the same time reached out to take the coffee on the table to the next table, the one farthest from Zhu Ning.

And Uncle He began to talk about the anomalies in the water.

It turns out that Uncle He is actually a retired worker who lives in a nearby residential area. His previous job has nothing to do with ghosts, but Uncle He himself is very interested in Yin-Yang and gossip. He is also a person with the eyes of the sky. It can be said that he is a researcher on Yin-Yang and Five Elements. For most of my life.

After retiring, he set up an elderly club in the senior activity center in the community, specializing in things like Hetu Luoshu, Yin Yang and Five Elements, ghosts and gods and legends.Over time, several retired sky-eyed people really gathered.

"Of course, most people in the club can't see ghosts, so they're just interested in these things." Uncle He waved his hand and explained, then changed the subject, with faint excitement in his tone.

"But since Hundred Ghosts Walked at Night and accidents started happening in the water, we old fellows really asked us to come up with some tricks... The things in the water are not ghosts!"

Looking at the excited old man, Zhu Ning lost track of his train of thought, and he also knew that the things in the water were not ghosts: "So, what exactly are the things in the water?"

"Young man, the point is not what is in the water. No one in the world knows what is in the water now!" Seeing that Zhu Ning did not realize the value of this research result, the old man shook his head anxiously, "But if the water The things in it are not ghosts... This is troublesome."

Zhu Ning's heart moved, as if he had caught something vaguely: "You mean..."

Uncle He rummaged for a while in the vegetable shopping cloth pocket with advertisements printed on it, and took out a stack of manuscript paper, which was a summary of the views of the Senior Activity Center.

Uncle He: "Look, now the world doesn't know what's wrong, and ghosts start to walk at night. If there are ghosts in the water or the yin is very strong, it's not uncommon for them to harm people."

Uncle He put on his presbyopic glasses and pointed at the content on the manuscript paper line by line with his fingers: "No matter what the things in the water are, the thousands of monsters and ghosts from ancient times to the present, as long as they are not human beings, can only be divided into three types: Immortals, ghosts, demons."

"Monsters are the first things that have a shape to be eliminated...then only immortals and ghosts are left."

The last sentence, what the old man said was very meaningful, and the temperature of the bamboo forest's heart dropped a few degrees, but then he discovered the problem: "But the things in the water don't have immortal energy."

The old man was shocked: "How do you know?"

Zhu Ning: "Uh, I tasted it...didn't I take a sip just now?"

Uncle He smiled and shook his head: "Young man, you can't taste immortal energy, but our senior citizens' association has its own way to measure it."

With Uncle He's introduction, Zhu Ning learned that murders by things in the water are very common within a month, and there have been several cases in the community where Uncle He lives. The water is saved and tested with their own methods.

Although they dare not touch it directly, many members of the elderly community have problems such as old cold legs. If they live in the same room with that water, if there is Yin Qi in the water, even if the Yin Qi is very weak, it will get worse as time goes by These old problems.

Immortal energy has no curative effect, but the old men and women of the senior citizens' association squatted in the nearby old-fashioned residential area for several nights, and they really caught a few weasel spirits and hedgehog spirits who were not yet enlightened.

On the contrary, these little demons are the most sensitive, not afraid of ghosts, but of immortals.Over the past month, people from the elderly community have put these weasel spirits, hedgehog spirits and other things by the water in question, and have done many experiments.

Hearing this, Zhu Ning was extremely shocked. Unexpectedly, the elders and aunts of the Senior Activity Center invented a more accurate perception method than the Sky Eye. He quickly asked, "What's the result?"

Uncle He paused, and then said word by word: "These problematic water will aggravate the old cold legs, and those little monsters also dare not pass."

The other two members of the patrol team had heard of this before, and Leng Yi commented objectively: "If we simply analyze the results based on the experimental data, the thing in the water is neither a ghost nor a fairy. It is a kind of thing with the characteristics of both. .”

"What kind of mess is this!" Mo Sijing finally couldn't help it anymore: "Mr. Leng, you don't understand yin and yang, ghosts and gods, so don't force yourself to explain it scientifically. You also have the characteristics of both at the same time, and it's not genetically modified."

Leng Yi didn't speak, obviously he didn't think his experimental analysis was wrong.

But Zhu Ning seemed to remember something. Although he had no memory of the past, he vaguely remembered some, as if he didn't have any fragments in his mind, but seemed to have read a few pages of Pluto's resume.

Zhu Ning said weakly: "It seems that it is not impossible. If the heavenly court assigns a certain god to serve in the underworld, wouldn't he have the characteristics of both?"

Uncle He didn't expect that Leng Yi and Zhu Ning could spread so far, he kept waving his hands: "Impossible, I have read the ancient books on this topic very well, the Ten Kings of Hades have never been gods, who else in the underworld... "

Zhu Ning said silently in her heart, and Pluto... As soon as this thought came out, Zhu Ning thought of the smiling figure that she saw in the coffee cup before, and she just felt shuddering.

Zhu Ning is here, it is impossible for a person to appear in two places at the same time, so how could the thing in the water be himself?

So far, the three members of the patrol team feel that it is meaningless to continue talking like this. Now Leng Yi and Mo Sijing have also joined the research of the elderly activity center, and they want to see the ongoing experiment in the community with Uncle He.

Zhu Ning strongly asked to join, and the three of them had no choice but to take him with them, and repeatedly told them not to drink indiscriminately, and not to trample on things like rags on the ground, so as to prevent this confused child from losing his life.

The four walked out of the coffee shop, and Leng Yi's Maybach, which had been confiscated as a public car for the elderly activity center, was parked at the corner of the street.

Several people got into the car and drove all the way to the community where Uncle He lived.

I live in a residential area in the west. Because it is an old house allocated by a factory, it cannot be sold, and demolition has not yet been expected. Therefore, in the streets of Financial Street, where land is very expensive, there are these dilapidated old-fashioned communities next to high-rise buildings. .

After driving for less than 5 minutes, I arrived at the gate of Uncle He's community, and the Maybach drove directly in.

Uncle He is very proud of the achievements of the Senior Activity Center. He pointed to a red brick building behind the willow tree in the distance: "In that building, one drowned in the bathtub last Thursday, and now there are people from our Senior Citizens Association doing experiments. , the old sister-in-law is warm-hearted, and the old cold legs are heavy..."

Since Zhuning entered this community, she had a very bad premonition.

Hundreds of ghosts are walking around at night now, and the city is very cloudy at night, almost forming a thick fog. The situation in this community is not special, and Zhu Ning can't tell what's wrong.

But Zhu Ning still watched every plant and tree in the community vigilantly.Immediately after he seemed to vaguely see something, Zhu Ning hesitated for a few seconds, and interrupted the cheerful Uncle He: "Master, is there a security guard in the community at night?"

Uncle He waved his hand: "Of course not. Which security guard dares to stand guard at night now? Besides, those things that can enter the community now don't come in by walking."

Through the window of the car, Zhu Ning pointed to the shadow cast by the willow trees in the distance: "Look, is there a thing in security uniform standing in the door of the unit of the red brick building?"
