Ghost World Office

After accepting Mai Xiaobo's apology, Tao Ye naturally had no reason to shirk Chen Xiang's request.

So he called Chen Xiang and informed Chen Xiang that he would go to the museum tomorrow morning.

Chen Xiang, who received the call, thanked Tao Ye on the other end of the phone as if she had grasped at straws.

After hanging up the phone, Tao Ye walked into the school's supermarket, ready to buy some daily necessities to go back.

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve.

Christmas carols were playing in the supermarket and Christmas decorations were hanging everywhere.Students in twos and threes were picking products in front of the shelves, and there was a festive atmosphere everywhere.

Since the death of his parents in his previous life, Tao Ye has never celebrated any festivals.

As the saying goes, every festive season misses relatives.

Whether it is a foreign festival or a traditional festival, it will always be closely entwined with irretrievable past memories.For Tao Ye, these memories are extremely cruel.

He quickly bought things, checked out at the self-service checkout machine, and walked out of the gate of the supermarket quickly.

Holding the shopping bag, the phone in Tao Ye's pocket vibrated.With great difficulty, he took out his cell phone from his coat pocket.The call was from Lu Yi.

"Hello?" After the call was connected, Tao Ye stopped by the side of the road, tilted his head and put his ear close to the phone receiver.

"Are you free tomorrow?" Lu Yi asked.

Not knowing what kind of medicine he sold in the gourd, Tao Ye put the shopping bag in his hand on the ground, and said into the phone microphone:

"I'm going to the museum tomorrow to deal with anomalous events."

After pondering for a moment, Lu Yi asked, "What time does it end?"

Tao Ye snorted unhappily, his uncertain mood made his words tingly: "I'm not you, I can predict the future."

A low laugh came from the receiver, and Lu Yi seemed to be amused by Tao Ye's yin and yang.

Tao Ye was startled, waiting for Lu Yi to continue.

But after waiting for more than 20 seconds, Lu Yi did not continue talking.

"Hello?" Tao Ye raised his voice and put his mouth close to the microphone.

"I'm here." Lu Yi responded immediately.

Tao Ye frowned and complained, "Don't you pretend to be an expert if you don't talk?"

Lu Yi's tone was very sincere: "No, I want to treat you to dinner tomorrow."

If tomorrow is not Christmas Eve, maybe Tao Ye will immediately agree, after all, the leader's wool is not for nothing.

But tomorrow is Christmas Eve, Tao Ye is more inclined to go back to the dormitory and sleep for a night after work.

The streets are full of Christmas songs and joyous atmosphere, to Tao Ye, they are like knives all over the streets.

Tao Ye was silent for a long time, and said to the other end of the phone, "I'm not going."

Before Lu Yi could say anything, Tao Ye hung up the phone.

……

The next day, Tao Ye made an appointment with Chen Xiang early and came to the museum.

Shen Zhu had something to do temporarily, Lu Yi asked Lao Xu to take Shen Zhu's shift, and deal with abnormal incidents with Tao Ye.

I don't know if it's the habitual thinking of middle-aged people. When he first saw Lao Xu, Chen Xiang felt that he was not very reliable.

Looking at Lao Xu with disbelief, out of politeness, Chen Xiang stretched out his hand to him and said:

"I will trouble you both today. Chen is very grateful."

Old Xu cheerfully held Chen Xiang's hand, and said to her, "Don't worry, we are very reliable in what we do."

After exchanging pleasantries, Chen Xiang took Tao Ye and Lao Xu down to the basement floor.

The moment he stepped into the basement, Tao Ye suddenly felt something was wrong.

There are three exhibition halls on the basement floor of the museum, and the gates of the three exhibition halls are opened side by side on a high wall.

The door in the middle is the tallest, as tall as two people.And in this door, the female corpse is stored.

"You two, this is here." Chen Xiang pointed to the door in the middle and said to the two of them.

Tao Ye nodded and looked around——

The lights on the basement floor are dim, and the surrounding walls are covered with Dunhuang-style murals.

Being here gave Tao Ye the illusion of traveling back to ancient times.

But there was always something that made Tao Ye feel uneasy.

According to experience, where abnormal events occur, there will be a strong soul breath in the air.

And it smells clean here, and it doesn't look like there is an abnormal soul.

Old Xu obviously also noticed that something was wrong, so he secretly pushed Tao Ye and gave Tao Ye a wink.

In the matter of dealing with abnormal events, Lao Xu actually had no experience, so he was quite flustered.

"Could it be a mistake?" Old Xu asked Tao Ye with his mouth.

Staring at the tall door on the wall, Tao Ye shook his head, as if he was thinking about something.

According to Chen Xiang's description, there must be a big problem with that female corpse.

Only abnormal souls can make such movements in the human world, there is no other possibility.What's more, on the morning Tao Ye received Jian Cheng's call, Lu Yi also confirmed on the report of the human world office that there were indeed signs of abnormal soul activity in the museum.

Then the only possibility is that this abnormal soul dormant on the female corpse is more cunning and powerful than ordinary abnormal souls, and noticed the movements of Tao Ye and others, and deliberately hid his aura.

Tao Ye has never seen an abnormal soul that can hide the breath of the soul so tightly.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but think of the fierce battle in the mall that day.Intuition told Tao Ye that this operation might be very difficult.

Chen Xiang obviously also saw that something was wrong with the two of them, and asked, "Two gentlemen, is there something wrong?"

Tao Ye pulled out a mask and smiled, and said nonsense to Chen Xiang solemnly: "I forgot to bring the magic weapon."

Chen Xiang glanced suspiciously at Lao Xu, then looked eagerly at Tao Ye, and said:

"Mr. Tao, I can send someone to pick it up at your residence immediately."

Tao Ye shook his head, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, shook it at Chen Xiang, and said with a smile, "Don't bother you, I'll make a call."

After speaking, Tao Ye found a corner with his mobile phone and dialed Lu Yi's number.

The connection tone beeped twice, and the phone was picked up by Lu Yi.

"I can't deal with this abnormal soul alone." Tao Ye lowered his voice and said into the phone microphone.

Lu Yi's soft voice came from the receiver: "Isn't there still Lao Xu?"

Tao Ye frowned. Old Xu looked like an ordinary person who only knew how to run a noodle shop. He didn't believe in Old Xu's business ability.

"I need reinforcements." Tao Ye changed the subject and said to Lu Yi seriously.

Lu Yi on the other end of the phone pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, 10 minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Tao Ye turned around and walked towards Chen Xiang, explaining to her seriously:

"I've called my assistant and he'll be here in 10 minutes."

Chen Xiang nodded, raised her wrist, glanced at the hour hand on the watch, and suggested, "Why don't you two come to my office for a cup of tea first."

Tao Ye nodded, agreed to Chen Xiang's proposal, followed Chen Xiang with Lao Xu, and came to the elevator door.

Chen Xiang reached out and pressed the button of the elevator, and the display showed that the elevator was going down from the sixth floor.

As the number on the display changed from six to five, from five to four, until it became one, Tao Ye felt something rattle in his mind.

Something was wrong... Tao Ye subconsciously looked back at the tallest door on the wall, but nothing happened.

"Ding! Negative floor!"

The voice announcement of the elevator sounded.

With the sound of friction between the elevator door and the track, the elevator door slowly opened.

There seemed to be nothing unusual in the elevator.

But just when Tao Ye breathed a sigh of relief, the moment the elevator doors were fully opened, the lights in the elevator suddenly went out.

"Is there a power outage?" Chen Xiang looked at the elevator display in confusion, but the words "-1F" flashed brightly on the display, and there was no power outage.

"Don't move." Tao Ye whispered, walked to the elevator door, and stretched out his hand to the darkness inside the elevator.

When Tao Ye's fingertips were about to reach into the elevator, he felt his hand was blocked by something hard.

"Yes." Old Xu turned his head to look at Tao Ye, his voice trembling.

Tao Ye glanced at Old Xu with distaste, and said yin and yang, "You deserve to sell noodles for the rest of your life."

Old Xu muttered indistinctly a few times, but finally didn't reply.

Just as Tao Ye was about to make the next step, the space behind him suddenly changed strangely.

The flying mural on the wall seemed to be infused with soul. The characters and colorful clouds on the painting suddenly moved, and the whole space seemed to fall into an endless river of time.

With the flow of the mural's top belt and colorful clouds, a few faint sounds of pipa came from nowhere.

"Mr. Tao..." Chen Xiang tried to calm herself down, turned her head to look at Tao Ye, as if expecting what Tao Ye would say.

Tao Ye pursed his lips, looked up at the murals on the wall, and comforted her in a deep voice: "Don't worry, they are all trivial tricks."

Chen Xiang obviously got comfort from the words "small tricks". After all, she was also a woman who was strangled by a mummy, and the situation in front of her was not enough to distract her.

At this moment, the door in the center of the wall slowly opened, and a woman walked out from the door.

Under the dim light, her skin was moist and smooth, but with an ashen luster.

She was wearing a red and green gauze dress, and under the thin fabric, her exquisite and graceful curves were looming.Her bare arms are covered with gold and silver ornaments such as bracelets and arm bracelets, and a Tang Dynasty pipa with flower patterns is held in the middle of her arms.

"It's her. She is the female corpse." Chen Xiang reminded Tao Ye and Lao Xu in a low voice.

Tao Ye squinted his eyes, the dim light made it difficult for him to see the appearance of the female corpse, all this was due to his slightly short-sighted body.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." The female corpse said, the voice sounded like a little girl.

Tao Ye frowned, and said sarcastically, "Wait until we come to bring you back to the West."

The female corpse also frowned, and she slowly approached the three people in front of the elevator with her pipa in her arms. Her steps were light, and she did not look like a corpse possessed by an abnormal soul at all.

"Don't come here." Old Xu took a few steps back in fright, and bumped into the black wall inside the elevator door.

And Chen Xiang had the experience of being choked before, so she wasn't that scared, but just stared vigilantly at the approaching female corpse.

"I have no malice." The female corpse nodded slightly, hugging the pipa in her hand to her chest, her hair full of black hair slipped from her shoulders, scattered among the strings of the pipa, and made a fine sound.
