"What is a ghost inn?" Chu Lingya asked.

Xie Rujian said: "Inn, hall, park, and prison are the four legal places for ghosts to temporarily stay in the world. The inn is a place for ghost messengers who have access permits to stay in the world, such as Xie Guanbai Xingchen, or some other places. Life impermanence, etc., if they are on business, they can choose to stay in the inn, and the public funds will be reimbursed; the hotel is similar to the former, but with a higher level and better facilities. It is usually the place where the big figures of the underworld choose to stay when they go out; For ghost prisoners, the difference lies in the nature of the time limit. Stop is a temporary detention place and a transfer station. Prison is like our Saoling, a place for medium and long-term detention of ghost prisoners. It was disabled years ago...how could anyone go there?" His voice was slightly soft in the last half of the sentence, as if he was talking to himself.

Chu Lingya said: "Could it be that the rumor of the Golden Peak Ghost Inn attracted the attention of the live broadcaster named Ghost Slayer? Since some locals mentioned on the Internet that there are three monsters in that house, and no one went there to broadcast it in the past. However, it is indeed a suitable live broadcast venue.”

"That's not what it means." Xie Rujian said, "The ghost inn is located in the human world, so it naturally needs people to govern it, so the underworld usually hires some human beings who are impermanent and practitioners to manage those places. There are ghosts coming and going in these places all the year round. In order not to collide with strangers, the yin division will make some arrangements to isolate the yin energy. For example, in the Jinding Ghost Inn, there is a golden rooster on the top of the golden roof. Once it is disabled, it will still have the effect of gradually dissolving the Yin Qi accumulated inside, but before that, the most important thing is that the Yin Division will deal with the presence of the building itself."

"That's it..." Chu Lingya suddenly realized, no wonder the people inside lived there not long ago, except for the special humans who received the mission to manage the Golden Peak Ghost Inn, the other people who strayed into it were probably affected by those arrangements, Subconsciously, I have the awareness that staying here for a long time is not good for my health. Although I can't say it or even know the reason, I will naturally choose to leave.

"But what happened to Boss Deng's youngest daughter?"

Xie Rujian said: "The little girl may have gone wrong during the process, and she didn't clear her memory in time. Some of the humans who manage the ghost inn are living people with self-awareness, and some are shared by multiple ghosts. , that Boss Deng may be the latter, and the skin has changed to another person, but was discovered by this youngest daughter, and after thinking about it, it is necessary to ask the ghost responsible."

Chu Lingya said: "Multiple ghosts share? Then what about his family, do they always live with the ghosts who come and go?"

Xie Rujian shook his head: "Most of those family members are not real family members, they are most likely borrowed temporarily. For example, Boss Deng's family, it is very likely that Boss Deng does not exist or has passed away long ago. When using this identity, it is usually to create a memory to make others think that there is such a person in their life, or that a certain person has not left. In fact, even this impression is false, but it is just for convenience The so-called meeting by chance, once the task is completed, everyone will part ways."

Seeing Chu Lingya's thoughtful expression, Xie Rujian knew that this guy was meddling again and caring about the world, so he added an explanation: "You don't have to worry about those people, even though it's a temporary requisition , It’s not just a random passer-by on the road, most of them have negotiated the terms in advance and signed the contract, you can regard it as working for the underworld, and the remuneration during the period is absolutely indispensable, perhaps in wealth, or in the afterlife. , in short, it will not make people suffer."

Chu Lingya really learned a lot, and sighed: "It seems fair." He looked at the ghost slayer on the screen again, and after thinking about it, it is true that the ghost slayer will appear in the Golden Peak Ghost Inn to visit the spirit. There is a problem.

If it is an ordinary person, affected by the layout of the Jinding Ghost Inn, they will not want to go there at all. This is why the netizen can mention the "three monsters" of the Golden Summit Ghost Inn, but never mentions that someone in the local area ventured in and discovered it. What's the matter, even he himself, who is obviously a fan of spirit exploration, knows that there is such a house where he lives, but he has no idea of ​​further exploration, which shows that this is a common impression.Then how did the ghost slayer discover this place from the huge map of Huaguo, and took the action to explore it himself?

Xie Rujian slowly frowned, obviously guessing something, he said: "Check other live broadcast locations of this Ghost Slayer."

"Okay." After a while, Chu Lingya searched the results on the Internet.

Xie Rujian quickly finished reading the text descriptions and the preview video, and then frowned.

"Brother Rujian?" Chu Lingya was extremely sensitive to Xie Rujian's emotions, "Could it be that the other locations of this ghost slayer's live broadcast are also related to the Yin Division?" He quickly speculated: "If this person has all the live broadcast The location is related to the institution set up by the Yin Division in Yangjian, so he should have some other purpose."

"Could it be a prison robbery?" Chu Lingya's mind was moving fast, "Brother Rujian, do you think he has a goal, he wants to find a special ghost, but he doesn't know where the other party is, so that's why Touching one place after another? Then why is he doing a live broadcast? Logically speaking, shouldn't it be better to touch this kind of thing as quietly as possible? Unless...he wants to attract the attention of that ghost, so...that ghost I can see the live broadcast, ouch." Chu Lingya covered her head.

"Don't think about it." Xie Rujian withdrew the hand that had just patted Chu Lingya's forehead, "Even I don't know where the rest of the prisons are, and you know."

"what?"

"Ah, what, since it's a place where ghost prisoners are held, of course it's impossible to publicize it publicly. What if everyone knows where the ghost prisoners are kept, and they all come to rob the prison as you guessed?"

"It seems...that's right."

"Just do our job."

"Okay." Chu Lingya agreed, but her heart was still full of doubts.

"By the way, Brother Rujian, that day..." Chu Lingya mustered up his courage, and was about to ask about the comb again, but Xie Rujian had already left.

I didn't have time again!Chu Lingya couldn't help despising herself in her heart.

……

Xie Rujian returned to the backyard, and his expression slowly became serious.

Even if Chu Lingya's guess is not right, it is not far. Most of the live broadcast locations that Ghost Slayer has been to are indeed related to Yinsi. Some are deserted and closed inns and prisons, and some are still in use.

How can the prison in use allow people to go in and live broadcast?Unless something happened to the managers of those places, and these were not mentioned in Ghost Slayer's live text post, as if this part of memory was blocked uniformly.

Xie Rujian raised his hand, picked inside the bracelet for a while, took off a thin silver bracelet, threw it on the ground, and that bracelet turned into a bird with snow-white feathers.

Xie Rujian took out a pen and wrote something on the paper, then folded the paper and tied it to the little bird's feet.

"Go back quickly."

"Chirp Chirp!" The bird uttered a crisp chirping sound, and flew out like a silver light.

……

"Lingya, here, here!"

Chu Lingya went through the crowd to meet Zhang Chong: "Sorry for keeping you waiting."

After changing the contact information in the last meeting, Chu Lingya thought that the interaction with Zhang Chong was interrupted, but he did not expect that the other party really got in touch.Although the two were classmates in high school, their personal relationship was not that close. Chu Lingya guessed that Zhang Chong might have other business to seek him out.

The meeting place was set at a small restaurant famous for its vegetarian dishes. It was meal time and the restaurant was full of guests.However, since it is mainly vegetarian dishes, the decoration of this restaurant is all in the direction of cleanliness and elegance. Classical music is played in the restaurant, and most people speak softly. The occasional coughing is particularly suppressed.

As soon as Chu Lingya was seated, a waiter handed over the menu. It was an old-fashioned scroll, which was also framed with a layer of silk. Chu Lingya held it in his hand and shook it, feeling like a father-in-law reading out an imperial decree.

"Order whatever you want," Zhang Chong said enthusiastically, "the dishes here are relatively small, and you can't finish them if you don't order too much. I asked you to come out, please."

"Okay, then respect is worse than obedience. I'll treat you next time." Chu Lingya cautiously ordered a few more cost-effective dishes, and handed them back to Zhang Chong. .

Chu Lingya looked at the old classmate opposite, and felt that Zhang Chong seemed to be worried.He asked: "Is it going well in Changle now?"

It’s okay if he didn’t say anything, but when Zhang Chong said something, he sighed again and again: “Oh, it’s going well, but it’s not going well. Well, I asked you out for dinner as an unfeeling invitation, I know it might be a little bit It's abrupt, but I've been really annoyed by one thing recently. It's like this, my wife Su Mo, do you remember, something happened to her recently. "

The waiter brought out the dishes one by one, and Zhang Chong ordered another pot of vegetarian fruit wine called "Monkey Wine", and told Chu Lingya while drinking.

Chu Lingya said: "What's wrong with Miss Su?"

"It's like this. Didn't my wife quit her job because she came to Changle with me? I thought we were going to have a baby anyway, so let her stay at home to rest temporarily, and occasionally pick up work at home. Anyway, I can make enough money by myself. The community we live in is allocated by my company, it's called Tingyun Garden, I don't know if you know it?"

Chu Lingya nodded: "It's a nice neighborhood."

"I think so too. Our company's benefits in this regard are quite good. Alas, I'm going too far. In fact, what I mean is that the security property in the community looks good, so I don't worry about leaving Momo at home to go to work alone. Who would have thought that she would see her alone at home when she came back from work the first day, looking terrified. I asked her what was wrong, and she said that when she was at home alone during the day, she heard someone knocking on the door. She I went to Maoyan to see but found no one outside, but the knock on the door kept going, so she opened the door and went out to look.”

Chu Lingya said: "This action is too dangerous. I think you need to emphasize to Ms. Su that no matter how good the community is, you should still be vigilant when encountering such things. It is best to call the property management of the community directly or Call the police, there is a high possibility that criminals are outside the door."

"Well, I thought it would be easier to deal with criminals. In fact, Momo said that she might have seen... a ghost."

"Ghost?" Chu Lingya was taken aback, "During the day?"

"I also think it's a bit ridiculous, but Momo is not the kind of girl who lies casually. She said that when she opened the door and went out, she saw a woman on the wall and looked at her."

"Wall?"

"Yes, it is said that there is a shadow of a woman on the wall behind the door. The woman is like a shadow puppet, a thin piece, and she can't see her face clearly, because her hair is so long that it covers her face. Momo sees After arriving at her, she suddenly started to move, as if she was about to climb out of the wall, which scared Momo terribly."

Chu Lingya thought to himself, although the plot of the hell is common to him, the ghost Su Mo mentioned is quite creative.

Chu Lingya asked: "And then, did that female ghost really crawl out?"

"I don't know." Zhang Chong said, "Momo was so frightened that she closed the door and fled back home. Then she locked herself in the studio and waited until I got home. She didn't even drink a sip of water for a whole day. Didn't even drink, alas."

"and after?"

"Later... I was also shocked when I heard it, but Momo was already so scared, how could I show it. I had to bite the bullet and tell her not to be afraid, there is me. After finally calming her down , I went to look outside the door. There is no window in the corridor outside our door, it is really dark, I saw some stains on the wall, it does look like a person, I thought it might be Momo Tai Scared, wrong, but, I was wrong."

"After all, I have just been promoted, and I am also a company manager. I can't ask for leave all the time, so I asked for leave to stay at home with Momo for a day and then went back to work. When I came back that night, Momo looked quite normal. I asked her if anything happened, she said no, and I thought to myself, then this should be over. Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, I slept soundly, and suddenly felt moaning. She usually doesn't sleep well It was night, but I didn't take it seriously at the time, but after a while, I suddenly felt the room was chilly, and I woke up suddenly. When I opened my eyes, I saw Momo opened the window and was about to open the window. Jump out the window."

"Our house is on the 16th floor! I broke out in a cold sweat and quickly dragged her back. After seeing it, although her eyes were open, she didn't seem to see me. She was in a trance She was in a trance, and after a while, she came to her senses, she didn't remember anything, and she asked me why I was on the ground."

Chu Lingya asked: "Could it be an occasional sleepwalking? After all, you have just arrived in Changle, and the environment is not acclimatized. It will take time to adapt to all aspects. In addition to being tired, it is likely to induce this situation."

"If there was no previous incident and subsequent incidents, I should have thought so optimistically, but unfortunately not." Zhang Chong sighed, "I have known Su Mo for almost five years, and we have been together for three and a half years. I know very well She doesn't have any chronic sleepwalking disease, but since that night, she has started sleepwalking every now and then..."

Speaking of this, Zhang Chong said in a low voice: "One time she woke up in the middle of her sleepwalking and remembered something. She told me that she saw that woman again. It was that woman who held her hand and insisted on taking her out. .”
