Soling Internet Cafe

The next day, Xie Rujian slept until noon and didn't wake up without dreaming.

Xie Rujian doesn't need to sleep, usually he will go back to his room to lie down for a while after finishing his work in the ghost prison at night, but he rarely falls asleep, so this kind of rest is more like a ritual, a way of convincing himself I still live the rituals of ordinary people's lives in the mortal world.Naturally, Xie Rujian was no longer an ordinary person, but after coming back from a date with Chu Lingya last night, he felt a little sleepy for no reason, and couldn't even get up the energy to work in the ghost prison. Later, Chu Lingya asked him to come to the side After resting, he went, and then, in a daze, it seemed that Chu Lingya carried him back to the room to rest, and then he fell asleep completely, until he woke up now.

Xie Rujian got up and looked in the mirror, he was too sleepy last night, he forgot to change his appearance back, and the young man with short hair appeared in the mirror, he looked no different from the young people all over the street—— like a dream.

Xie Rujian stared at himself in the mirror for a while, and finally took off the disguise with a wave of his hand. After washing, he changed into his usual clothes and walked lazily towards the front yard.

There are a little less people in the shop today, Yue Nuo was busy behind the counter, when he saw Xie Rujian coming, he took the initiative to say hello: "Morning, boss, wait for 5 minutes, I'll make you hot breakfast right away, Lingya has already made it for you gone."

Xie Rujian glanced around and asked without seeing Chu Lingya, "Where are the others?"

"I'm talking to guests in the reception room."

"The reception room?"

"It's just...the dormitory before Lingya."

Well, before he knew it, Chu Lingya not only used his rogue spirit to the fullest and refused to move in the backyard, he even remodeled the dormitory in the front yard.What is this, beating first and playing later, arrogance from favor?

When Xie Rujian thought of this, she also felt a little funny.He walked to the door of the former small warehouse, saw the door was open, and walked in directly.

As expected, the bed box in the small space has been vacated. Chu Lingya moved a few simple sofas inside, and placed some bookshelves and coffee tables. Ling Ya spoke, and the two sides chatted very happily, and the atmosphere was harmonious with the naked eye.

As soon as Xie Rujian entered, Chu Lingya turned his head and said, "Brother Rujian, you are here!" He got up and introduced, "This is our boss Xie Rujian, and these two are Zhang Rujian from the planning department of Xingzang Films. Sister Zhang and Director Jiao Junyu."

"Hello, Mr. Xie, we have seen many reports and videos of Saoling Internet Cafe. It is better to meet people than to be famous. You are younger and more promising than the rumors on the Internet." Zhang Ru said, reaching out her hand.

Xie Rujian didn't have the habit of shaking hands with others, so he gave way and nodded at her: "Are you two here to surf the Internet?"

Zhang Ru froze for a moment, then laughed: "You are really humorous, yes, I will definitely experience it later, but the main purpose of our visit this time is to discuss a cooperation with your Internet cafe."

"Cooperation? Cooperate with us?"

Xie Rujian looked at Chu Lingya blankly, and Chu Lingya hurriedly pulled him aside and said, "It's like this, brother Rujian, Xingzang is currently filming a movie, and there is a scene in which I haven't picked a suitable scene yet. Hey, they heard that our building in Sao Ling is an ancient building, so they came to inspect it, and they were very satisfied, so they wanted to rent it for a while. And it's really a coincidence, do you know what the movie they plan to make is called?"

"What?" Xie Rujian was originally too lazy to cooperate with people's speech, but seeing Chu Lingya's expectant face, he finally asked in cooperation.

"Sword Immortal Chen Bufan." Chu Lingya said, "Didn't we play the game "Sword Immortal" at Phoenix Entertainment's booth yesterday? In fact, Chen Bufan is the protagonist in "Sword Immortal". Unlike Taoist Taoist, this film and that VR game are both from the big IP work "Chen Bufan" under the Intersection Group, do you think it's a coincidence?"

"Coincidentally," Xie Rujian said, "So you were talking about renting Sao Ling with them just now?"

"correct."

Xie Rujian asked: "Do you still remember what our shop does?"

"Remember... Ah!" Chu Lingya suddenly realized, "Isn't it convenient for Sao Ling to rent out?" He was thinking that since Internet cafes can be opened, it would not be a big problem to rent a few days for people to shoot, after all, Sao Ling The front hall of the prison is indeed the land of the world, and the backyard, which can only be entered through special methods, is the ghost prison.

"What do you think?" Xie Rujian asked him back.

Chu Lingya understood, and sighed: "Oh, yes, they also said that they want to rent here, even if our store can lend them to shoot, there is no room for them to live in. Forget it, I'll go back and return it." Well, I thought at first, taking advantage of this big IP trend, we can increase the popularity of our store, and at that time, many guests and fans will definitely come here, which will bring a lot of positive benefits to our store!"

Xie Rujian's ears moved.

"And the rent they promised is quite generous..." Chu Lingya said regretfully, and was about to leave when she was dragged back.

"You just said that they would pay the rent?" Xie Rujian asked.

"Well, after all, when we rent it to them for filming, we can't operate normally."

Xie Rujian asked, "Well... how much do they pay?"

Chu Lingya said: "Oh, they don't care about the store's operating costs. Anyway, the cost of accommodation, rental, and the cost of filming. They promised to give us a package price of 35 a day. The shooting time is about a week, so it is [-]. "

Xie Rujian: "!!!" He pushed aside Chu Lingya and stepped forward, stretched out his hand to Zhang Ru, and said very sincerely, "Isn't it Sister Zhang, happy cooperation!"

……

At night, Chu Lingya was behind the counter reviewing the current list of ghosts in the ghost prison to prepare for the lease of the Internet cafe. Xie Rujian was holding a tablet there to catch up on the "Chen Bufan" series. Let alone, it is a big IP after all. There are various derivative developments of texts, comics, animations, and web games.The style of this book is quite witty. When the animation starts, the room is full of exaggerated laughter from the voice actors.

When Lao Xie and Xiao Bai entered the door, they were taken aback, almost thinking that they had gone to the wrong place.

"What's wrong, Boss Xie?" Xiaobai didn't dare to ask Xie Rujian, so he came to check on Chu Lingya.

"It's nothing, I'm watching animation."

"Boss Xie watched animation?" Xie Guan also frowned, "What stimulated him?"

Chu Lingya didn't like to hear these words, he said, "No, why did he get stimulated after watching an animation?"

Xie Guan wondered, "It's not like him."

Xiaobai also said: "Well, it must be replaced by something, right?"

Chu Lingya said: "It's normal for people's hobbies to change. Besides, many animations are very good-looking now, and young people like to watch them. Brother Rujian is young, it's weird to watch young people's things. ?

Xie Guan and Bai Xingchen: "..." Well, Xie Rujian is young...

It was Xiaobai who came back to his senses first and said, "By the way, what's the matter calling us in such a hurry?"

"Oh, let's discuss something with you guys." Seeing that Xie Rujian was still intoxicated in the cartoon, Chu Lingya explained on her behalf that Sao Ling would rent out for a week. "Don't worry, we will do a good job in safety work, that is, if you two have something to do when you come in and out, you have to be more careful."

Old Xie asked Xiaobai in confusion, "Can the ghost prison be rented out?"

Xiaobai thought for a while and said: "Yes, the golden-top ghost prison in the case of Ghost Slayer was also rented out before. The emperor does not interfere with these matters, after all, the daily maintenance of ghost prisons also requires expenses , Our underworld doesn’t have that much financial budget, so we have to ask the prison masters to figure out their own way, isn’t there such a saying in Yangjian public institutions, it’s called differential subsidies.”

Chu Lingya: "..." He seemed to understand why Xie Rujian was so poor.

To be reasonable, it doesn't count if you pay for yourself in prison, and you have to support other prisoners when you become a prison owner?

Xiaobai seemed to see what Chu Lingya was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "The reason why Boss Xie is poor is that the operation of Sao Ling only accounts for a small part."

"What's the other part?"

"You'll have to ask him that yourself."

Xie Rujian probably thought there was too much noise over there, so he finally put the tablet down and stood up.

"What's the matter with me?"

Chu Lingya was stunned for a moment and said, "Brother Rujian, didn't we call them here?"

Xie Rujian said: "It's just a matter of letting me know about the rental. My official documents have been burned long ago, so there's no need for two ghost messengers to come here specially, and..." He stretched out his hand: "It's rare to see you all come out with all your equipment , is something wrong?"

It was only then that Chu Lingya noticed that Lao Xie and Xiao Bai were different from before. The color and shape of the uniforms they wore had changed.In the past, one was black and the other was white, but today they are all robes with a black background and a crimson edge, with totem patterns faintly visible on the robes, which is extremely chilling.

Xie Guan and Bai Xingchen looked at each other, and finally Xiaobai said: "I know I can't hide it from you, boss..."

"speak English."

Xiao Bai said: "It's not a big deal, it's just that there are ghosts and criminals wandering into our city."

Xie Rujian looked at him and said after a while, "Do you want me to help?"

"No need, no need, it's not a strong character." Xiaobai said, "We know about the rental of Sao Ling, you just do a good job of security, don't bother me, Lao Xie, let's go."

Xie Guan took a deep look at Xie Rujian, and soon followed Xiaobai and disappeared into the night.

As soon as the two left, Xie Rujian said, "It's likely that something happened to Zhang Chong."

"Huh?" Chu Lingya responded, suddenly realizing something, "Zhang Chong? What happened?"

"Either ran away or died, and they seem to think so at the moment."

Chu Lingya thought for a while and came to understand: "Lao Xie and Xiao Bai are tracking down Zhang Chong's whereabouts, so they came out with a full set of equipment. They came to us because they were worried that Zhang Chong would come back to revenge us, so they came to take a look?"

"Yes."

Chu Lingya thought about it and said, "Zhang Chong must have accomplices. I remember you said that someone gave him strength and taught him to forge evil gods, and he used this method on Su Mo, the mourning wood spirit. Maybe it was this person. Not only that... Could it be that the special powers in the previous incidents are all related to this person?"

Xie Rujian looked at Chu Lingya, and after what happened more than 1000 years ago, the bond between him and Chu Lingya became deeper and stronger, so he decided in a very short time to take that Tell Chu Lingya about it.

Xie Rujian asked: "Do you still remember what your mother Qu Xiaohe has been looking for?"

"Absolute Beginning Universe Mirror?"

"Yes, the Universe Mirror of Absolute Beginning, all these powers come from the Universe Mirror of Absolute Beginning!"

Xie Rujian was stunned for a moment, but soon realized: "But the universe mirror was stolen by someone 800 years ago, and that person even blamed you, causing you to be in jail even now!"

"Actually, it's not all like that." Xie Rujian waved his hand casually, and suddenly two figures appeared in the hall, exactly like the two of them. One stood behind the counter to settle the accounts, and the other picked up the hand that Xie Rujian had just placed on the table. The tablet on the side sat on the recliner and continued to look at it.

"This……"

"There are surveillance equipment in the ghost prison, so it's inconvenient to talk. Come with me." Xie Rujian drew three sides in the air with his fingers, and a door appeared in front of the two of them. Xie Rujian pushed the door open and left. Going in, Chu Lingya quickly followed.There was a room that Chu Lingya had seen before, even he still lives there now, but the layout of this room in the real world is not the same as in the past, and what they are staying in now is exactly what Xie Rujian returned to. The bedroom in Guanxuan Palace.

Xie Rujian said: "Sit down, I will tell you about the events of that year, it will take some time."

Chu Lingya sat down ignorantly, vaguely knowing that she was about to come into contact with some terrible secrets.He has heard about what happened 800 years ago in Guanxuan Palace from two sources. One is a post by netizen Lao Zhou telling stories, and the other is when Huayin and Qu When Xiaohe discussed the ferret case, he brought Jiang Xinbai to him, and by the way, he brought out what happened that year.Chu Lingya felt that there were many unsolved mysteries behind that incident.

"Drink tea."

Chu Lingya took the water that Xie Rujian handed over. The water was clear and fragrant, like the fragrance of plum blossoms in the snow.

"Fake, just addicted to drinking." Xie Rujian said, "Where did I just say, by the way, the mirror of the universe in the beginning. The mirror of the universe in the beginning has not been completely thrown away, and half of the mirror is in my hand."
