After Marrying the Lord of the Underworld

Back at the office, the sign of [Lu Ying Bar] was still shining upstairs.

Although Jing Xian is a nominal employee of the firm, this is the first time he has come here.

Lu Yingjiu opened the door and entered, the air in the room was a bit dull, and a dozen bottles of wine stood quietly on the wine rack.In a fake bar like this, they probably won't serve a real purpose in their lifetime.

Lu Yingjiu pushed open the window, the wind gushed in violently and lifted his white shirt.

In the back room here, there are many tools for exorcising ghosts.He intends to stay here tonight, draw talisman paper, and prepare all kinds of ghost exorcism, so as not to need it later.

When he was preparing the talisman paper, Jing Xian wandered around the house and found the small kitchen.

Jing Xian said, "I'll cook tonight."

Lu Yingjiu responded and concentrated on drawing the talisman paper.

Drawing talisman paper is actually a very labor-intensive task.

He draws quickly and well, but he is very picky about the details. He pays attention to the radian of each curve, and the angle of the smallest corner must be just right: this is why his talisman paper is always the most effective.

Lu Yingjiu changed different pens, from simple ballpoint pens, fountain pens, to wolf hair brushes, to draw complex lines on different papers.

Some lines are simple and smooth, flowing like clouds and water.

Some lines have sharp turns, like a knife edge.

There are also some paintings that faintly look like birds and beasts, or the faces of priests.

The little black beast appeared by itself, lying on the table to watch his movements.

Lu Yingjiu picked out a few packets of biscuits and green beans from the snacks that Jingxian gave him, and opened it for him to eat.

The black hairy dumpling never refuses anyone, and with a strong appetite, he swallows them all like a trash can.

While eating, it slowly fell asleep, with its head tilted and its belly spread out on the table.

I don't know how long it took, when Lu Yingjiu broke free from this tedious process, he smelled the aroma of food.

There was a light knock on the door, Jing Xian said: "It's time to eat."

Lu Yingjiu got up and went out, and saw two dishes and one soup on the table, which happened to be enough for the two of them.

Jing Xian's cooking skills are really good, the seafood porridge brought to Lu Yingjiu last time is enough to savor for a long time.On the table now, a dish is exceptionally green and tender, and the aroma of braised pork fills the whole room. He stir-fried it well, and the fat and thin meat looks delicious.Pork bone and lotus root soup is placed in the middle of the table, with little oil and a delicate fragrance.

Lu Yingjiu was a little surprised: "Where did you buy the vegetables?"

There are no places selling vegetables around here.

He thought Jing Xian would use the eggs in the refrigerator at most to make fried rice with eggs.

"I ran out." Jing Xian coughed.

He actually sent a few brats out to buy groceries.Originally, I wanted to buy some expensive ones, but when I thought about it, it was really hard to explain the expensive ingredients, so I just forgot it.And it's good to eat light at night, which suits Lu Yingjiu's appetite.

The two filled their meals and sat facing each other.

Lu Yingjiu thought while eating, Jing Xian has such cooking skills, he can become popular when he goes out to open a restaurant, so it's really a waste of talent to cook it for him alone.

He picked up some green vegetables with his chopsticks, and heard Jing Xian ask: "I just checked, Yunxiao Amusement Park is very restricted recently, you need to make an appointment half a month in advance."

Lu Yingjiu smiled: "Are you still thinking about this? You are so courageous. Haunted houses and roller coasters are nothing fun. I thought you would be more interested in shooting ranges."

"Just to experience the atmosphere." Jing Xian said, "I've never been there before."

He really hasn't been there.

The playground didn't quite match his aura, but he knew it was a holy place for dates.

Roller coasters, pirate ships, haunted houses, etc. are not important at all, the point is dating!

That's a date!

Lu Yingjiu let out a "huh" and said, "As I said, I don't know when this matter will end. But you can make an appointment first." He smiled, "Just treat it as the first appointment in our firm." The second team was formed."

So Jing Xian made an appointment for tickets half a month later, and made an appointment in advance for this group building with only two people.

Lu Yingjiu finished his meal, filled a bowl of soup, and accidentally caught a glimpse of Jingxian's mobile phone screen: there were more than a dozen pages open in the browser, and he couldn't see the content clearly. In a blink of an eye, all the names were related to "amusement park" Yes, it should have been checked for a long time.

For some reason, a soft spot in Lu Yingjiu's heart was poked.

It seems that Jingxian really wants to go.

Lu Yingjiu also wanted to try various things when she was a child, but unfortunately no one was with her.Amusement parks were indeed on his wish list, but until the very end, they never got off the ground.

Although he doesn't know about Jing Xian's past.

But looking at it like this, so is Jing Xian... It's not easy to find someone to go with, right?

Thinking of this, Lu Yingjiu couldn't help softening his expression while drinking the bowl of hot soup.

He wanted to say a few more words, then glanced at Jing Xian, and suddenly stopped.

The latest two interfaces of the browser read...【Dating Holy Land】? ?

Lu Yingjiu froze for half a second.

Before he could figure out what was going on, Jing Xian had already put away his phone, seeing that his expression was wrong, he asked, "What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." Lu Yingjiu murmured, "It's probably a hallucination."

He took a sip of soup to suppress his shock.

……

In the next few days, Lu Yingjiu had nothing to do, so he waited for the Chen family to check the mask, and for Chen Xiaoling to continue to inform him.

Things like cooking and cleaning at home are all taken care of.

Lu Yingjiu had an irregular diet and lacked interest in food, so he couldn't stand the delicious dishes Jing Xian made, these few days he was dragged by Jing Xian to eat, and unexpectedly started to eat three meals on time.

After waiting like this for a few days, on the fourth night, Lu Yingjiu and Jing Xian nestled on the sofa and watched a movie together.

In order to understand the common sense of the world, Jing Xian has watched many movies and is very interested in this kind of art.

In the past four days, they have watched several more movies, from action movies to suspense movies, from romance movies to science fiction movies, good movies and bad movies are divided in half.

It was raining outside today, and the night was as thick as the end of the world. The darkness of the rainy night was overwhelming, the sky and the earth were dark, and even the lights in the distance could not be seen clearly, all of them were submerged in the rain.Occasionally, a car drove by in a hurry, and disappeared in less than two seconds. The whole process was too short, it seemed to be preyed by some kind of monster, and disappeared forever in this night.

The wind was whimpering, the atmosphere was suitable for horror, so Jing Xian turned off all the lights and found a ghost movie to watch.

——Facts have proved that this is a very wrong choice.

The two of them are, quite literally, the worst ghost movie audiences in the world.

At the beginning of the film, the protagonist's little red car starts from the small town and drives towards a haunted mountain.

In the 5th minute, something seemed to flash past between the shadows of the trees, ghosts were crying and wolves were howling, human faces could be faintly seen, and the horror value was full.

Lu Yingjiu yawned and started to eat the potato chips that Jingxian gave him.

In the 7th minute, a few ghost hands hit the rear glass of the car with a "crack!", and the protagonist shook his hands and started screaming.The camera gave a few close-ups of the ghosts, highlighting their ferocious faces and big bloody mouths.

Jing Xian began to frown: "This kind of ghost looks like an earthbound spirit, how could it run after the car?"

Lu Yingjiu was yawning again.

In the 11th minute, a few more ghosts wandered among the trees.

Jing Xian frowned again: "The breed is all wrong."

Lu Yingjiu was about to fall asleep, her head nodding.

In the 17th minute, a corpse fell from the sky and hit the front of the protagonist's car. The protagonist was frightened mad, and screamed while taking out a bunch of peace symbols.

Jing Xian: "..."

He was too lazy to complain.

This time Lu Yingjiu suddenly woke up from his sleep and began to frown: "What's going on, all the talisman papers are drawn wrong."

The next thing is the chase, the blood pack is used like no money, the camera shakes, the screams continue, the screen is full of grimaces and scarlet.

Lu Yingjiu was completely asleep.He crossed his legs on the sofa, closed his eyes in an extremely relaxed manner, leaned back, and let the protagonist scream heart-piercingly, all as white noise.

Jing Xian also felt bored to death, in his opinion, all the ghosts here are just talking nonsense, it's impossible.

It’s like a person watching the animal world and discovering that Mr. Zhao Zhongxiang is serious and saying, ah, this is our emperor penguin. Emperor penguins are distributed in the African savannah, live alone, like hot weather, and the main prey is Tibetan antelope... Really nonsense Can.

He also looked sleepy.

Ghosts don't need sleep, but they can fall asleep if they're really bored.

Jing Xian turned his head and saw the light of the TV falling on Lu Yingjiu's face. His skin was fair, the shadow on the bridge of his nose covered a little of the light, and the curvature of his eyelashes was heart-stirring.

The sound of rain outside bursts, crystal rainwater flows down the glass, the wind bends the branches, and thousands of leaves dance together.

At this moment, time seemed to slow down by a second.

He watched for a while in silence.

He really wanted to hug Lu Yingjiu tightly on this cold and dark rainy night, it would be best if he could kiss him, let the other party make a few vague complaints in his drowsiness, then hug him back and sleep until the night rain stopped , the sky suddenly broke.

But in the end, he just quietly put a hug on Lu Yingjiu's shoulder, letting him lean on his shoulder to sleep more comfortably.

He himself leaned back on the sofa, finding a comfortable position.

This sofa is so soft, it seems that people can sink into it completely, and they can fall asleep without paying attention.

...What does it feel like to be asleep?

There is an abyss in the ghost world, everything that falls into it will perish, only he dares to step into it.Every time he walked above the abyss in the sky, and his black robe was rattled by the strong wind, he would think that there is no difference between deep sleep and death, they are both endless darkness.

But at this moment, listening to the majestic sound of the rain and watching such a boring ghost movie, he thought, maybe it's still different.

That sense of security is completely different.

He felt that he and Lu Yingjiu could lie on this sofa for eternity, sleep as long as he wanted, and still see each other when he woke up.

Jing Xian also slowly closed his eyes.

As the second hand ticked by, the boring ghost movie began to take a curtain call, and finally the TV screen went black.There are no other light sources, and amidst the sound of wind and rain, there are only two people leaning on each other in the dark.

After an unknown period of time, the gust of wind became stronger and knocked on the window.

Lu Yingjiu's phone vibrated.

He snorted softly and woke up.

My mind was not so clear all of a sudden, and my thoughts seemed to be muddy.He half-closed his eyes to unlock the screen.The harsh light illuminates the living room, lengthening the shadows of all the furniture.

It was a message from Chen Xiaoling.

She said: [The Chen family found a clue]

【117 Xinxi Road, Zhongli Warehouse】

……

The Maybach drove through the storm, the tires rolled up muddy water, and the headlights were bright. From a distance, it looked like a monster riding the wind and rain.

The surrounding rain was so loud that I couldn't hear anything clearly.There was no one on the road, and the water gurgled into the sewer, making a gurgling sound.

After the body made a sharp turn, Jing Xian turned off the headlights, and drove the car into the dilapidated parking lot in the thick darkness.

The rain blades slammed across the glass, but they were powerless to resist the violent current from the sky.The warehouse appeared in front of their eyes, and the big red characters [Zhongli Warehouse] on the top floor had been scratched mottled by the years.

The Chen family has sealed off the scene and conducted a round of investigation.

Now the entire warehouse here is sealed by an invisible barrier.

But the barrier was never difficult for Lu Yingjiu.

The rain was enough to cover up all movement.

He and Jing Xian got out of the car, put on black masks, pressed their hats, and sneaked around to the edge of the barrier at the back door.

He flicked his finger, and a few talisman papers flew out, and the white stream of light surged, opening a gap in the barrier.The two went in easily, and what appeared in front of them was an old iron door with a rusty red lock on it.

Perhaps because of the peace of mind, the Chen family did not change the old lock on the back door.

Lu Yingjiu used her lockpicking skills again, put on gloves, and easily opened the door, and then they slipped in quietly.

This warehouse is for storing clothing, and there is a very obvious smell of fabric in the air. There are stacks of large and small cardboard boxes, and piles of clothes wrapped in plastic bags, like hills on the shelves.

Lu Yingjiu made a trick to make his and Jingxian's clothes dry.

He walked slowly between the shelves, his footsteps making no sound.

According to what Chen Xiaoling heard, two days ago, the Chen family seemed to have tracked down: there are indeed people who are still making and selling human skin masks.

The production site is Sidong Slaughterhouse, and the place where the masks are hidden, packaged and transferred is in this Zhongli warehouse.

In the place where the leather is kept in this warehouse, I found one or two missing human skin masks.

But after searching for two full days, the Chen family did not find many clues.

Lu Yingjiu wanted to come over and take a look for himself.

Anyway, he is the pinnacle of the industry, and there must be something rewarding coming to the scene.

When he was the chief, the Chen family also asked him to be a consultant many times.If he hadn't been investigated this time, the Chen family would have moved him here as a rescuer.

Along the tall shelves, they slowly searched for them, and finally came to the leather area.

That piece of clothing has been turned upside down, every package has been unpacked, and the clothes have been touched from the inside to the outside.A pile of used talisman paper was scattered on the ground, which was enough to show how many people had been busy.

Several leather satchels were scattered outside.Lu Yingjiu squatted down and picked up one, and looked it over carefully.

The inside of the satchel has a faint yin, and when he touches it lightly, there is a sticky touch on the bottom side.Like something, once stuck to it.

He then found an empty thin plastic bag on the ground.

The plastic bag is just the size of a human face, and there is a trace of transparent glue on the top, which is stuck to the bottom side.

Lu Yingjiu lifted it up, and a bolt of lightning happened to strike outside the window. Pale light descended from the window, tearing apart the darkness and illuminating his brown eyes.With the light of lightning, he saw the plastic bags had faint lines.

It is the kind of very common lines that suppress Yin Qi.

He whispered: "The human skin masks are packed into plastic bags here, and then shipped out together with all kinds of clothes, and go to various places along the logistics."

Putting down the plastic bag, Lu Yingjiu walked carefully around the warehouse.

An exception was found.

He squatted down and swept the ground, and faint rune marks appeared on the ground.

Jing Xian also squatted down and looked at the mark with him.

This is exactly the same as the imprint in the mask processing room of the slaughterhouse.

Lu Yingjiu erased the traces, and shoe prints suddenly appeared on the ground, which were still size 45-46.

Someone erased traces of himself.

And it's almost certainly the same person in the slaughterhouse.

Still the same sentence: The level of the visitors is very high, and the members of the Chen family are definitely not idiots.It's a pity that exorcising ghosts requires extra talent.No matter how many tricks, no amount of careful thinking, in front of Lu Yingjiu, it's like a gangster's axe, there is nowhere to hide.

The man only went to the slaughterhouse once, and there were very few exposed traces, so it was impossible to confirm his identity.

But judging from the dense footprints in front of him, he has been active here for a long time.As long as the traces are left like this, when the Chen family finds out tomorrow, they will definitely be able to track it down.

This process was much easier than Lu Yingjiu thought, he brought a lot of talisman papers, and originally planned to stay here all night looking for clues.Fortunately, that person's vigilance was too low, or he underestimated Lu Yingjiu's strength.

Lu Yingjiu took out her phone.

To be on the safe side, he took a few photos.

Jing Xian watched beside him.Lu Yingjiu whispered to him, "Now, there is another person here. He is watching us."

After speaking, he was just about to stand up——

Lightning strikes, and the pale light illuminates the hill-like clothes.

Thunder rang, and a icy chill fell from the sky!

Lu Yingjiu raised his head, and a figure leaped high from the shelf in the darkness, with a sharp knife pointing at his life gate!

The author has something to say: Jing Xian: Your road is narrow
