Changsheng coffin shop

Mu Yao slowly took out a wet paper towel and wiped her fingers, then looked at Xie Mian and asked sincerely, "I think it's really possible that Fan Lan got lost somewhere and couldn't come back, little boss, can you make the decision to put him in that room?" Would you like me to live in a good room facing the sun?"

Xie Mian: "..."

Bai Qi looked at Xie Mian who was frowning all the time, and asked softly, "Any more questions?"

When Xie Mian took office as a new official, he made his first request: "In terms of looks and habits... can you be normal, I'm afraid."

Bai Qi glanced at Mu Yao, and saw that she indifferently stuffed a piece of blood-red tomato-flavored potato chips into her mouth, chewed them for a long time, and said, "Yes, boss."

Xie Mian trembled: "Thank you, thank you for your cooperation."

"If it's okay, I'll go to sleep. If I stay up late, how many masks will I have to apply to make it up?" Mu Yao waved his hand, yawned and left, Ming Qiu followed, Xiao Shan had fun.

Bai Qi hummed, and said again: "The room you slept in just now is your study, you can usually live in the hotel behind, the top floor is yours, we have no authority to go up except you and Ba Ye."

Xie Mian: "Is that the chip?"

Bai Qi shook his head: "You don't need a chip, you only need a fingerprint, and your mobile phone also needs to be replaced. With our Changsheng mobile phone, you can talk to the underworld anytime, anywhere. If you encounter problems, you can call with one key."

Xie Mian whispered: "The one summoned is still a ghost... What's the difference?"

Bai Qi didn't hear clearly, and asked, "What?"

Xie Mian shook her head: "You continue."

Bai Qi nodded: "About the operation of the coffin shop and the funeral-themed hotel, Muyao will tell you when she wakes up tomorrow. You can ask me about other things and order acceptance. It's getting late, so go to bed early."

"Can I go back to the dormitory?" Xie Mian really didn't want to sleep here.

He wanted to go back to the dormitory, the place where people live, how scary it looked, if it wasn't for his mental quality, he would have peed twice.

"No, you will live in the coffin shop from today on."

For the sake of her parents, Xie Mian accepted this setting as much as possible, thought for a while and asked, "When can I see Master Ba?"

Bai Qi paused for a moment: "Complete a task, you will get ten merit points, and you can meet Ba Ye when you get seventy points."

"it is good."

Bai Qi watched Xie Mian's leaving back, turned his gaze back to the cabinet where Ming Qiu was standing, took out the wordless ghost book, swiped his hand lightly, and said respectfully, "Ba Ye."

"Huh?" A lazy voice sounded from the wooden board, and a faint smile came out of the dark fog: "Has the person been found?"

Bai Qi hummed: "I found it, but..."

"But what?"

Bai Qi thought for a while about Xie Mian's baby face, no matter how soft he looked, if it wasn't for Ba Ye's appointment, he would have thought that he had found the wrong person, but after thinking about it, he said very euphemistically: "He seems to be very afraid of ghosts. If there is a case, I am afraid of him..."

"Afraid of ghosts?" he said.

"Ah."

"It's probably because I've seen him less often. Let him see him a few more times. Once he gets used to it, he won't be afraid."

"...Is that so?" Bai Qi was silent for a long while, and Ba Ye was quiet for a few seconds, and replied affirmatively, "That's right."

**

The phone rang crazily, Xie Mian sat up from the bed suddenly, the unfamiliar environment stunned him for a few seconds.

His mind sank as if he had been severely run over, he raised his hand and rubbed his temples, he took out the frantically vibrating mobile phone from under the pillow, and swiped to answer it wearily.

"what's up?"

When Zhao Bin heard his hoarse voice, his heart skipped a beat: "Xie Mian, where did you go last night, why didn't you come back all night!"

"Hmm..." Xie Mian murmured in a daze, and blurted out: "Last night, I had something to do with my relative's house. I came to check on it. If it's a bit late, I'll stay for one night. It's okay."

Zhao Bin frowned tightly: "You don't have any relatives."

"Distant relatives." Xie Mian is not good at lying, but hell, he even did something like a coffin shop owner, which is harder to believe than hell.

He pinched the bridge of his nose wearily, and shook his head a few times. He felt terrible pain in his bones and flesh, as if he had been disassembled and reassembled.

Xie Mian stretched his body and opened the curtains, the sunlight poured in, hurting his eyes, and he finally got used to the bright and scorching sun.

He stared blankly out of the window, the ancient buildings were mostly covered by dense old trees, and the chirping of insects and birds could be heard endlessly. He closed his eyes and repeated in a murmur: "Changsheng coffin shop..."

"What coffin? Your relative passed away? Then in today's debate, you..." Zhao Bin paused, feeling that it was a bit too much to say this at this time, and after thinking about it, he said, "Then you can deal with the matter with peace of mind."

"It's okay, I'll go back to school later."

After hanging up the phone, Xie Mian let out a long sigh of relief, staring blankly at the red line on his palm.

It was a very thin, blood-like red line, which was filled to the end of the palm along the life line.

Not before, at least not before last night.

It grew after coming to the coffin shop.

Like a mark, it grows from the blood of the bones.

**

When Xie Mian arrived at the debate venue, there was still 15 minutes to start. The venue had been set up long ago. On the banner were today's debate topics. He's gone, quickly beckon him over.

Xie Mian sideways walked around a few classmates, and just walked towards Yu Feng after saying hello, when she glanced casually, she saw a man standing on the top of the opposite teaching building, stepping on the platform slickly.

In the originally clear sky, a dry thunder suddenly exploded out of thin air, and then dark clouds were pulled up like a drama.

The man took another two steps forward. Only then did Xie Mian realize what he was going to do. Without even thinking about it, he rushed over and opened the window and shouted, "Student! You..."

Before the words fell, he jumped and jumped down!

The venue was originally a mess, but Xie Mian's yelling drew everyone's attention, especially a few female students who saw someone jumping from upstairs, they screamed in fright.

"Did someone jump off the building just now!"

"Did you see that person jumping off the stairs? He seems to be from the law department."

"Call the police!"

"Should I call an ambulance, someone jumped off the building opposite Teacher Teacher!"

Not only the inside of the venue, but also the outside was like a frying pan. Every window was full of heads looking out. Xie Mian was standing at the window and was so squeezed that he almost fell off.

He held onto the window tightly with both hands to stabilize it. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but he was already petrified with fright.

He saw just now... the man who jumped from the building had a ghost lying on his back, strangling him tightly by the neck and tearing him off the building. His seaweed-like hair was like a mess of spider webs, wrapping him into a silkworm chrysalis, and then Cruelly threw him to the ground.

The female ghost lay on the ground, slowly raised her head towards him, showing a strange smile.

Xie Mian suppressed her beating heart so hard that she didn't scream, her face paled as she looked at the unrecognizable corpse on the ground, and the baby ghost squatting on the corpse and gnawing on it.

He seemed to be able to see ghosts.

There was that faint stench in the air again, this familiar feeling...could it be that thing from last night?

But wasn't that thing solved by "that person" last night?

The windows were too small to watch the excitement. Some people rushed downstairs and surrounded the corpse with a large group of people.

Xie Mian glanced at him, and saw a man in black standing beside a tree in the corner, with his hands folded in his sleeves, as if he felt his gaze, the man raised his head and met Xie Mian in the distance. looked at each other.

His clothes were out of tune with the crowd, a slightly long black cardigan with a lifelike dragon embroidered with gold thread on the wide cuffs, and there was a sense of obedience in his teeth and claws.

His two hands were folded in the sleeves, his skin was as white as bloodless, his extremely long hair hung down on both sides of his cheeks, and the rest was neatly tied behind his back, standing quietly under the tree, as if Just stumbled here by accident.

There seemed to be mountains between this person's eyebrows and eyes, and it was like a well-smudged ink painting, just like the temperament around him, extremely cool.

The eyes of the two collided in the air, Xie Mian's heart constricted for no reason, and subconsciously turned his head away.

"Xie Mian, what's wrong with you?"

Zhao Bin was also pressed on the window sill and couldn't move. Seeing Xie Mian in a daze, he thought he was frightened, so he raised his hand and pushed him with difficulty: "Are you okay?"

Xie Mian came back to his senses, said it was okay, and when he turned his head to look again, the man had disappeared without a trace.

Is he... human?

The debate competition was temporarily canceled because of a fatal accident. The teacher hurried over, closed the door of the venue, knocked on the microphone twice to test the sound, and then said with a solemn expression: "What happened today, don't spread it outside. , Before the school releases the news, don't post randomly on Moments and Weibo, remember?"

"I don't want to see some students being punished for spreading false news, understand!"

That's the way it is said, but no matter how serious the confession is, it is against gentlemen but not against villains. There are always some people who will take their lives to gain popularity.

Zhao Bin took out his mobile phone and searched Xianancheng University, followed by the phrase suicide, and even a picture of the deceased after falling from the building, which was taken right in front of his face.

Unsatisfied in the photos, no matter how you look at it, it makes people hairy.

"Hey, did you just go in and have a look? I heard that the person who died seems to be Bao Haowen."

"Really, I was afraid of having a nightmare so I didn't dare to go in and see it."

"Probably not. He is so handsome and so rich. He is a high-quality man in the world, rich and handsome. Why is he so desperate to commit suicide?"

A few girls were discussing the deceased in a low voice, Zhao Bin paused, his face suddenly became extremely ugly, Xie Mian turned around: "What's wrong? Do you know him?"

Zhao Bin nodded with difficulty: "Yes, yes, we played together a few days ago."

Xie Mian frowned, turned around suddenly, and scanned around.

He always felt as if someone was staring at him, unlike last night's horror, this time it was more like seeing through his soul directly and nakedly.

"what happened?"

"It's okay." Xie Mian looked back, and couldn't help but glance under the tree just now.

Zhao Bin didn't care either, and said in a low voice, "I heard that Bao Haowen's grades were quite poor before, he was not satisfied with his credits, and the exam had to be retaken. Some people said behind his back that if he was not poor, he would doubt whether he was some big boss." His son came in because of his admission qualifications. But suddenly one day he seemed to have stepped on shit luck, his luck was overwhelming and he became rich all the way, from a scumbag to a handsome and rich school grass rich generation."

Xie Mian pursed her lower lip, and just as she was about to speak, Hua Xiuxiu, who had just caught up beside her, patted her shoulder.

"I have a more insider news here. I've heard people say that those who have offended Bao Haowen either had accidents or had bad luck."

Zhao Bin's face turned pale, the soles of his feet went limp and he almost fell to the ground, Xie Mian quickly supported him: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Zhao Bin stood up straight, squeezed his palm tightly and forced a smile: "Impossible, is he so godlike?"

Hua Xiuxiu lowered her voice mysteriously and said: "Some people say that Bao Haowen's situation should be lowered."

Zhao Bin was taken aback: "Ah? Why lower your head?"

Xie Mian thought for a while: "There is such a possibility."

Zhao Bin continued to be at a loss, Xie Mian thought for a while, and explained in a more popular way: "There was once a disciple of the Maoshan School of Taoism who used external forces to counteract the hostility and malice, so that the dead ghosts could not take revenge. He collected money to help ghosts punish people To put it simply, revenge is to use some kind of magic to torture people."

"Then isn't this head drop harmful? Why is there such a good thing as Bao Haowen turning into a koi? Give me a dozen."

Xie Mian frowned and interrupted him: "Don't talk nonsense about such things." As he spoke, he glanced behind him, and the gray-black mist... seemed to get bigger.

Zhao Bin clasped his hands together and muttered, "Don't blame, don't blame."

"The head lowering technique is indeed a yin and harming technique. Even if it looks profitable, it is only cashed in with Yangshou, such as Bao Haowen's head lowering to promote luck."

Zhao Bin looked at him tremblingly: "Why, how do you know so much all of a sudden?"

Xie Mian thought for a while and said, "Last time you borrowed a supernatural book from the library and didn't dare to read it. You threw it on my bed and asked me to return it for you. You read it when you were bored."

"Did I borrow it? I can't remember, but it's wrong. Don't you usually dare not even watch horror movies?" Zhao Bin looked at him suspiciously: "Why do you read this kind of book?"

"..." Xie Mian: "So I only watched this part, and didn't watch the rest."

Zhao Bin nodded suspiciously, seeing Xie Mian suddenly stop, he also turned his head to follow his gaze and looked around: "What's wrong?"

Xie Mian shook his head, since he went downstairs just now, he always felt like someone was staring at him, and now this feeling is even stronger.

Hua Xiuxiu was bold and half atheist, so after listening to it for a long time, she didn't go in much, instead she turned the topic to emotional disputes.

"I heard that this Bao Haowen is a scumbag. The grown-ups didn't want to be responsible, which caused the girl to have a miscarriage and died, but he himself felt at ease. If I were to say that this kind of scumbag, he deserved his death!"

Xie Mian took a deep breath, turned her head and glanced at Bao Haowen.

He was lying on his back with his face up, with a well-proportioned and slender figure. Although his face was pale and deathly pale, he could still tell that he had once been good-looking. On the broken blood flowing from the viscera and various parts of the body downstairs, it was not blood, but reddish-brown worms!Scrambling to crawl out of his corpse!

His stomach has a vaguely unusual distension, and the short T seems to be... squirming?It's just that the movement was very shallow, and... Xie Mian looked back and looked at the corpse carefully with his chin under his chin, but he didn't find anything unusual.

If they could also see it, if they opened his body now, there should be no drop of blood there, maybe even the bones were eaten away, leaving only a layer of empty skin wrapped around a pile of meat.

"Jumping from such a high place, why would Bao Haowen, rich and handsome, commit suicide?"

"Could it be that he was killed, just like in the TV series, love murder? Oh, by the way, I heard someone say that he robbed his girlfriend before. Let him be careful."

"What's so rich and handsome? I heard that he was taken care of by a rich woman. Maybe he was killed by the rich woman's husband."

Xie Mian frowned and pondered for a while, feeling that something was wrong, but before he could figure it out, he heard the crowd behind him disperse.
