Urban Night Returner

In the hospital at one o'clock in the morning, except for the occasional movement in the emergency department, there was no sound.The silence in the hospital always has such a chilly feeling, as if there is always a cool breeze coming in from nowhere, even though it is midsummer now.

Shen Gu and Zhong Lecen helped Wu Shi out of the ward, and all three of them held a white candle in their hands.There was no one in the corridor, the door of the duty room was ajar, and a few nurses were talking with their heavy eyelids, and no one noticed that the three of them ran into the corridor at this time.

"Uncle Wu, you will call Zheng Li's name later. Because you can't see the soul, you have to wear my glasses. But after wearing them, you will see many things, no matter what you see, don't be afraid , you just need to talk to Zheng Li. There are the most souls in the hospital, but they are generally harmless."

Wu Shi nodded, took Zhong Lecen's Yangsui mirror, and put it on with slightly shaking hands.Zhong Lecen lit three white candles, and the three walked slowly along the corridor. Wu Shi began to call softly: "Xiao Li, Zheng Li--"

There was a soft shout, like a gust of wind moving the water, and in the empty corridors, clumps of human and half-human figures rose like mist from the floors and walls.Although Wu Shi had already made mental preparations, he was still taken aback.Shen Gu frowned and looked around, and asked Zhong Lecen: "It's Zheng Li, what are these—things doing?"

"Watch the fun."

Shen Gu was speechless.It’s okay to have a complete body, some of them have only half of their bodies left, and some have faded to almost transparent, can’t they change their habit of watching liveliness?

"Xiao Li, Xiao Li --" Wu Shi called as he walked through the corridor, and in front of him was the small garden of the hospital.Wu Shi looked at Zhong Lecen, and Zhong Lecen motioned him to move on.So the three of them walked out of the brightly lit hall and into the dark garden.

It was said to be dark, but the lights of the building could still shine through, but the dim lights, plus the candles flickering in the hands of the three of them, just made everything more gloomy.The only good thing is that there are far fewer ghosts following them into the garden.

"Xiao Li!" Wu Shi suddenly called out. When Shen Gu raised his head, he saw a white shadow floating by the flower bed. Although it was a bit blurry, it could be seen that it was Zheng Li.Wu Shi took a step forward excitedly, and Zhong Lecen immediately stopped him: "Don't get too close to him!" At such an old age, although he used to be a soldier and has more positive energy than ordinary people, he is an old man who is dying after all. If you are overwhelmed by yin qi, you will at least have a serious illness, and your body can't stand it at all.

Zheng Li took a few steps forward slowly.It is said to be walking, but in fact, the feet do not touch the ground at all, they are just floating.He stared at Wu Shi with gloomy eyes, almost gnashing his teeth and said, "Why aren't you dead yet?"

Wu Shi opened his mouth and was speechless.Zhong Lecen sneered: "Don't you know that you were cheated? Uncle Wu will not die, but you will die before him."

"What?" Zheng Li's eyes turned to Zhong Lecen sluggishly, but the cruelty in his eyes was very clear, "Who are you?"

"You don't need to know who we are. But we do know who gave you this plate. His surname is Zuo, right? The person who made this plate was a woman named Xie Zhujun. You probably don't know yet, Xie Zhujun is a ghost. Oh no, when you saw her, she should still be wearing a human skin."

Zheng Li was taken aback.When Zhong Lecen said that he was wearing human skin, his color changed obviously: "Who are you?"

"The person who came to deal with this plate." Zhong Lecen took out the plate and lit it up, "You are using this plate to harm the Wu family, right? Did the person surnamed Zuo tell you what price you have to pay? What do you think? Do the nine peaches represent the nine members of the Wu family? In fact, he counted you in!"

Zheng Li's expression twitched: "As long as they die, I am willing to pay any price!"

"I think you're out of your mind." Zhong Lecen said bluntly, "How did the Wu family treat you? Why did you harm them? Also," he raised the plate higher, "do you know why you harmed Wu?" Family? Have you carefully looked at this nine peach plate? Uncle Wu is a tree, and his descendants are the fruits of the tree. Originally, you were just an adopted son, not related by blood to the Wu family, and not the fruit of a tree at all. You can harm the Wu family because Uncle Wu loves you as his own son from the bottom of his heart, so there is a relationship beyond blood. In other words, if Uncle Wu or the Wu family has a little estrangement from you, you will not be able to harm you today. to people."

Shen Gu squinted at Zhong Lecen—is that the case?

Zhong Lecen also squinted back - lie to him first!

Zheng Li clenched his fists tightly, and finally roared: "He is fake, all fake! He killed my father! Then my mother left too! This is all his fault! He directed the Take action, my father will die!"

Wu Shi finally said, "Yes, I am also responsible for that action."

"Uncle Wu!" Zhong Lecen frowned at him.This old man, do you know that Zheng Li will be even angrier if he says this?

"Shen Gu--"

"Understood." Shen Gu took a step forward and stood in front of Wu Shi.Sure enough, after hearing Wu Shi's words, Zheng Li wanted to rush forward, but he was frightened by the evil spirit on Shen Gu's body, and finally he didn't dare to act rashly.

Wu Shi sighed heavily, and continued: "But if your father wanted to, he wouldn't have died at that time."

"What?" Zheng Li's face was distorted, he couldn't listen at all, "Don't try to cover up the truth!"

Wu Shi looked at him: "You were still young at that time, but you also understand the situation in your family. After your grandfather passed away, your family owed a lot of money, right? Then when you want to buy something more expensive, your father Where did the money come from?"

Zheng Li was stunned for a moment.He was really young at that time, so sometimes he was not sensible. Seeing that other people had such good shoes in basketball class, he also went home and told his mother that he wanted a pair.He still remembers when his mother dragged him to find his father, and then yelled at his father who had just got off work, asking him to find a way to get his son shoes.At that time, he was very scared, afraid of hearing his mother yelling, and also afraid of seeing his father sitting with his head in his arms, so he sneaked away.But after a few days, Dad brought him a pair of shoes, brand new, very good Nike shoes.He likes it very much, but his mother quarreled with his father again, thinking that he bought such expensive shoes, but at night he can only eat vegetables...

"...Yes, how did you come here?" He couldn't imagine what improper ways his father would use to get money.In his mind, his father was so decent that his neighbors said he was a good policeman.People say that there are scum in the police, no different from the underworld, but no one says his father is bad, no matter how picky he is, he can't say that his father is not a good policeman.

Wu Shi sighed, "He sold some of the confiscated ecstasy." If the matter hadn't come to his fore, he would have kept this secret for the rest of his life.He knew what was going on with Zheng's family at the time, but his help was very limited, until he died, and he took Zheng Li home, but he actually felt somewhat remorseful.If he had helped Zheng's family more at that time, wouldn't this be the case?When Zheng Li was raised, his financial conditions were not very good, not to mention that he already had three children, and adding one and a half children would cost a lot.Fortunately, his wife is indeed a good woman. Although she might complain a little in her heart, she has never favored anyone for Zheng Li just like her own children.

Zheng Li was stunned for a few minutes, then suddenly shouted loudly: "You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense!" But even though he shouted like that, he felt scared in his heart.Because he vaguely felt that what Wu Shi said was the truth.He wanted to rush up and grab Wu Shi's neck so that he would never say another word, but his legs were so weak that he couldn't move.It must be, it must be the reason why the person surnamed Shen stopped at the front. If Wu Shi was the only one, he would be able to go up immediately!Certainly!

"You, if you have the ability, don't bring anyone here..." Although he tried to raise his voice, he felt that he had no confidence.Could it be that he has become a ghost and lost his confidence?Did a ghost?Zheng Li lowered his head to look at his feet floating in mid-air, and suddenly understood, dare you, is he already dead?When that Zuo gave him the plate, he didn't say that he would die too!

"Zheng Li, you know whether Mr. Wu is telling the truth or not." Shen Gu stared vigilantly at this soul that seemed to be going crazy at any moment, and secretly held Jin Tiezhiying in his hand, "Your father is a good policeman. It is because he is an upright person that he feels guilty for his illegal behavior. He chose to die while performing his mission, not only to protect his colleagues, but also to atone for his sin. If he hadn't hugged himself, he would have died If you think about it, he doesn’t have to die. But would you rather he die without guilt, or would you rather live with a heavy psychological burden?”

Zheng Li clenched his fists tightly, his misty body became clear and blurred for a while, showing the fierce ideological struggle in his heart.Shen Gu strikes while the iron is hot: "Originally, if Mr. Wu agrees, we can execute you first. I forgot to tell you, I am from the Special Affairs Section. You may not have heard of this name, but I can tell you that we have the right to Dealing with people like you who use curses to harm others is like the police can shoot and kill fugitives who murder and resist arrest under special circumstances. If we deal with you first, the curse will be interrupted, at least people who have not yet fallen ill in the Wu family are safe Yes. But old Mr. Wu refused, he wanted to talk to you, because he hoped that you would figure it out and undo the curse, and he didn’t want you to die.”

Zheng Li stood there in disbelief, "Why, you don't want me to die? Me, I killed my eldest brother."

When Shen Gu heard that he also called the eldest brother of the Wu family to be "Big Brother", he thought to himself that there was a reason for this, and was about to say a few more words, when Wu Shi suddenly said: "Officer Shen, Doctor Xiao Zhong, let me talk to Xiao Li alone .”

"Uncle Wu!" Zhong Lecen frowned in disapproval.But Wu Shi insisted: "This is a matter between our father and son, let us solve it ourselves."

Shen Gu gently dragged Zhong Lecen, and retreated to a place farther away.There they couldn't hear what Wu Shi and Zheng Li said, but they could see their actions.Anyway, Jin Tiezhiying can attack from a long distance. If Zheng Li wants to do something, he can protect Wu Shi in time.

"Tell me, what will Uncle Wu tell him? Will Zheng Li give up? The son of the bollworm, the fruit beetle bears it. Do you know what this means? In fact, the fruit beetle catches the larvae of the bollworm as food. I think Zheng Li After all these years, maybe it is so malicious to speculate on the Wu family. There has been a long-standing grudge, can we have a good talk?"

"I'll see. You see, he still calls the eldest brother of the Wu family, which shows that he still regards the Wu family as relatives subconsciously. He should also know that even if Wu Shi is responsible for his father's death, the Wu family Children are not responsible."

Zhong Lecen was still worried: "What if he says he collapses, what will he do to Uncle Wu? Although it is said that he is a soul who cannot touch anything, but Uncle Wu is old, and it is quite fatal if he is overwhelmed."

Shen Gu patted him: "There is me. Don't worry."

While talking, the two stared closely at Wu Shi and Zheng Li.I don't know what Wu Shi said, but the expression on Zheng Li's face gradually changed. It's just that the garden is too dark, only the white candle in Wu Shi's hand illuminates, and Zheng Li's soul is rather vague. Shen Gu has excellent eyesight, but he can't see very clearly.

Zhong Lecen looked at the plate in his hand, sighed and said, "This Zuo Mu really knows how to use people's hearts. Without him, no matter how resentful Zheng Li is, he wouldn't be able to kill the Wu family, right?"

Shen Gu frowned: "This matter has become a big deal. At least no one has been killed in the matter of Bingbing and Xiaoxi. This time, one of the Wu family has died. My report should be approved, right? I'm surprised, why is the Dongfang family also one of the five great families, and the special affairs department doesn't think it's a big deal if the members of the five great families have lost their eyes?"

Zhong Lecen sighed: "The matter of Dongfang Chen...Actually, I guessed it would not be a big deal."

Shen Gu raised his eyebrows: "What? Dongfang Chen's eyes are considered blind, why is it not a big deal? Lu Jin was just an ordinary celestial master last time, didn't the Zhang family send someone here?"

Zhong Lecen shook his head: "That's not the case. Let me tell you, Dongfang Chen has been regarded as a different kind since he was a child. Originally, the Dongfang family is good at divination, but Dongfang Chen has made a bad eye. The status of the Dongfang family Well, it is quite special in the Five Great Aristocratic families. If you say they have the ability, they can’t catch demons or exorcise ghosts; if you say they have no ability, they can know the future. But this ability can’t be used too much, because the secrets of heaven cannot be leaked. Therefore, although the Dongfang family has the position handed down from Dongfang Shuo since the Han Dynasty, they are not very powerful. But Dongfang Chen, a pair of dark eyes, is very useful. He entered the Special Affairs Department at the age of 14 Became a mentor. Even the people from the Dongfang family began to divert the real power. Although the people above use her, but in their hearts..."

After listening to a few words, Shen Gu understood: "So this time Dongfang Chen lost his dark eyes, and some people still think it's good?"

Zhong Lecen nodded solemnly: "In Tianshi's practice, like all industries, there are fierce infighting. I don't think the special affairs department has sent special reinforcements now. One is because Dongfang Chen was injured, and the other is because-- You are in charge of the special affairs team in Binhai, and you don't have any background, and even your identity is still a passer-by. If the special affairs department has someone idle, of course they will send favors, but if they don't, they don't bother Yes. It sounds like there are a lot of people in Tianshixing, but in fact there are not many people who can really do things. China is so big, of course it needs a lot of people; besides, with your ability, if you can’t stand it, you can send them to help you. There are not many people who are busy. Firstly, it is laborious, and secondly, it is not enthusiastic. Your report has not been answered for so many days, and this is the reason."

Shen Gu didn't speak.This kind of thing happens everywhere, and it seems that the practice of heavenly masters is not exempt.

Zhong Lecen gently tugged at him: "Forget it, don't think about it, as long as we can cure Dongfang Chen's eyes, I don't think she cares about the position in the special affairs department."

Shen Gu nodded and was about to speak when the plate in Zhong Lecen's hand suddenly shattered without warning.Cracks spread out like a spider's web on the smooth surface of the disk. The speed was so fast that Zhong Lecen only had time to make an ah, and the disk turned into dozens of fragments and fell from his hands to the ground.Shen Gu stretched out his hand, grabbed a piece, glanced at it hastily, and sure enough there was no fetal bone.But before he could see clearly, he heard Zheng Li screaming: "Father!" Looking up, Wu Shi was leaning on his crutches and slowly falling backwards, clutching his chest.Zheng Li reached out to help him, but he was just a ghost now, and Wu Shi's body passed through his arms and fell to the ground.

Shen Gu strode over, but Wu Shi had already closed his eyes and fell to the ground. The candle fell to the side, but the candle was still not completely extinguished, shining on Wu Shi's pale face and blue lips.

Zhong Lecen was startled: "Uncle Wu has a heart attack, don't touch him! Quick, call a doctor!"

Wu Shi barely opened his eyes, his lips were trembling, but there was only a faint sound of gasping in his throat.Shen Gu was about to get up to call the doctor, but Wu Shi's hand was tightly grasping the corner of his clothes, and his lips barely moved.Shen Gu lowered his head to recognize the shape of his lips: "Don't, tell, child... You mean, don't tell Ms. Wu about this?"

Wu Shi nodded with difficulty, looked at Zheng Li who was standing on the side, with a smile on his face, and moved his lips to say the last wordless words: "Xiao Li, you are a good boy."
