reverse life

The tallest man in the universe

In October in City A, the heat is still hot.

Wen Jing glanced at the business card in his hand again, confirmed that he was in the right place, carefully opened the door, and said to the young man inside who was sitting and playing with his mobile phone, "Hi, I'm looking for Mr. Chongming."

The young man who was playing with his mobile phone took the time to look up at him and said, "It's me, what's the matter?"

Wen Jing swallowed nervously, and spoke with some hesitation: "Are you taking... the task of exorcising ghosts?"

"Hey, I finally got a business." A young man named Chongming put his phone down, came over and casually put his arms around his shoulders, and said with a smile, "Tell your brother, what did you see that ghost look like?"

Wen Jing staggered and was pushed to sit on the sofa by him, organized his words, and began to explain the strange things that happened to him recently.

He just moved to this city, and he is a student who has just graduated. He was greedy for cheap when renting a house. Seeing that the house was good, he moved in without thinking much.At the beginning, I thought it was pretty good, but later, problems appeared.

At first it was the TV at home, and he often changed the channel by himself from time to time. Wen Jing thought that it had been used for a long time, and there might be something wrong with it, so he stopped watching it.Later, the problem became more and more serious. After he came home, he often found that his things had changed their location. Once he even found a wet towel hanging on the broken TV, and he immediately got creepy.

It is impossible for him to have such a wet towel at home.He was really scared that day, so he moved to live with his colleagues. The next day he went home boldly, only to find that his home had been stolen.Nothing was lost, but he noticed that there was a pool of blood on the edge of the wall, as if someone had fought here.He was frightened to death, and wanted to change places to live, but the owner refused to refund the money, because he really had no money, so he could only live here.

From that day on, he discovered that someone seemed to be watching him secretly.Not only at home, but also outside, Wen Jing couldn't help wondering whether the thief who came to the house that day was killed by that horrible creature who didn't know what it was living in his house.The creature, powered by the flesh of the living, was about to strike him.

When he was trembling, someone recommended Chongming to him, so he came here.

After hearing what he said, Chongming clicked his tongue twice and said, "It seems to be interesting."

"Then... what should I do then!?" Wen Jing said with a mournful face, "I couldn't bear it last week and moved out for a few days, but wherever I went, I could feel it, as if someone was there Staring at me... is he going to kill me?"

"Don't be afraid." Chongming patted him on the shoulder and smiled: "Trust me, it's nothing. How about I accompany you back to see the situation?"

Wen Jing couldn't ask for more, so he quickly agreed.

.

Chongming followed him back home, walked around the rental house, and didn't say anything at first.The house itself is an old building of more than [-] years old, and the walls are very dirty. No matter how clean Wen Jing loves to clean, it can't change the appearance of the house itself.Only one wall in the bedroom was painted white, Wen Jing explained: "The landlord said that this wall was damaged by a tenant, and they painted it casually.

"Really?" Chongming turned back to the living room in a carefree manner, took an apple in his mouth, came back and knocked on the wall twice, and said in a vague tone, "I don't think so."

Wen Jing cried with a mournful face: "Huh?"

"Didn't you say that there was a lot of noise at night?" Chongming shrugged: "Come and see it later in the evening."

Wen Jing hurriedly followed him out.Before leaving, he locked the door twice, as if he was afraid that something inside would follow him out.After a moment of comprehension, the celestial master named Chongming no longer knew where he had gone.He hurried downstairs and found that the other party was standing downstairs, looking in one direction.

"Why so slow." Chongming said impatiently, "I've changed my mind. Let's stay in this house for a while, and I'll see what monsters he can make."

Wen Jing was afraid at first, but when he saw that Chongming was here, he felt relieved.He hesitated whether to go up, but he saw Chongming going in the opposite direction.

"Where is this going?"

"Let's eat." Chongming still held the apple in his hand, biting into bites: "Aren't you hungry? Come back and buy some snacks, just eat it while watching TV."

After finally finding the right person, he naturally said what Wen Jing said, so he hurriedly followed, waited for the uncle to eat, and bought a bunch of snacks to go home.He found that the taste of this old man's snacks seems to be similar to that of children.

After returning to the house, Chongming sat down in the living room and watched TV grandly, leaving Wen Jing alone in anxiety.After watching for a while, the old man didn't know what he disliked, so he went into the bedroom with snacks and never came out again.

In this way, at night, Wen Jing wanted to invite Uncle Chongming out for dinner, but the uncle didn't want to, so he had to order takeaway at home.There was no one in this building at night, and staying in a small room gave me a particularly infiltrating feeling.While the two were having dinner, Wen Jing suddenly heard some noise coming from the bedroom.

He shook his hand holding the hot water, and a few drops of water splashed out, so hot that he almost threw the cup away.Uncle Chong Ming didn't even lift his head, he just said in a low voice: "Eat your meal.

Wen Jing had no choice but to pick up the bowls and chopsticks again.

After a while, there was another sound in the room, as if something had landed on the ground with a crisp thud.Wen Jing hesitated: "How about we go there?"

Chongming still didn't make a sound.Just when Wen Jing was about to say something more, suddenly, it seemed as if something exploded in the bedroom, and there were continuous crackling sounds.Wen Jing was so frightened that she almost cried: "What should I do?"

"Hold on, don't be afraid." Chongming threw him a small ball of paper, stood up, walked to the bedroom, and said, "I'll take a look."

Wen Jing sat on the spot, almost shrunk into a ball.Looking at Chongming, there was some expectation in his eyes.At this moment, there was a knock on the door of the house. Wen Jing hesitated for a moment, then went over and opened the door.There was a middle-aged man standing outside, with a simple and honest smile on his face, as if he wanted to say something to him.Just as Wen Jing was about to speak, he suddenly heard Chongming sternly yelling: "Get up!"

He was distracted, looked over there, and then took a closer look, and found that the honest middle-aged man actually took out a knife and stabbed him.The last thing he felt was not the pain of a sharp knife piercing his body, but someone grabbed his collar and threw him out.He hit his head against the corner of the table, suffered a sharp pain, and then lost consciousness.

Wen Jing woke up again, already in the hospital.Surrounded by the smell of disinfectant, a bit pungent.He couldn't believe that he was still alive.

"Yo, are you awake?" Sitting next to him was Chong Ming, who was stuffing an orange into his mouth, and said, "You're not very old, your health isn't good enough."

Wen Jing: "..." If you catch someone and throw it on the corner of the table, will you be able to withstand it if you are in good health?

"Let's make a record when you wake up." Chongming said, "The police uncle is waiting outside, you just tell the truth."

It was only later that Wen Jing finally knew what happened after he fell into a coma.

After the robber who broke into and murdered was subdued by Chongming, he called the police.After the police uncle arrived, Chongming started a wonderful inference, saying: "This young man (referring to Wen Jing) is a bit superstitious, and he regards my detective agency as Taoist. I want to get rid of his feudal thinking." , ready to guide him to uncover the puzzle in him, and let him see with his own eyes that there is no such thing as untrustworthy gods, ghosts, and ghosts, so he took the trick and admitted his identity as a Taoist priest. I found out the first minute I arrived at his house , that wall in his house is very problematic..."

Because of time constraints, Chongming said that he would not talk about why there was a problem with the wall, and then said: "When I went out, I found someone sneaking around next to his house, which also proved my opinion—keep staring at him. What he wanted to kill him was not a ghost, but a human being. Maybe my arrival stimulated this bad guy. He started to attack at night, intending to kill the two of us together. However, before the trick succeeded, I subdued him on the spot. You guys are here After a look, sure enough, there is something wrong with that wall."

"There's a child's body hidden inside." The policeman who took the record for Wen Jing sighed: "According to the account of the person who wanted to kill you, he abducted and trafficked children a few years ago, but was targeted by our colleagues, so he stopped doing it." The last business deal went wrong, and he accidentally killed a child. He hid the child's body in the wall and ran away. Now that the news is over, he wants to come back and dispose of the body. The house used to be It belonged to him, and after he ran away, it was taken over by a distant relative of his, who later rented the house to you. Maybe he was afraid that you would find the body inside and wanted to kill people to silence it..."

Coming out of the police station, Wen Jing felt dazed for a while. So for so long, he was just being suspicious?

After resting hastily for two days, Wen Jing felt that he should thank the detective who had misunderstood, so he went with a bagful of snacks.When he passed, the detective was actually arguing with a child: "What the hell are you doing?"

"I want to watch TV!"

"I don't have a TV here!" Chong Ming said with a broken face, "Isn't a tablet about the same?"

"The screen is too small, it's uncomfortable to watch." The child said confidently: "My mother said that watching the tablet all the time is not good for the eyes."

"You're dead, boss!" Chong Ming said, "Besides, will your eyes be fine when you watch TV?"

Wen Jing stood at the door: "..."

"Just in time, you are here, you can take your savior away." Chongming seemed to see the savior: "Don't worry about food or clothing, just let him watch TV."

Wen Jing: "..."

"My savior?" He wondered.

"Actually, it's okay to say that he was the one who killed you." Chongming said, "Do you know why that person wanted to kill you? It's not because you lived in it, but because you were under his control, and you almost walked to it several times. Went to the police station."

"He controls me?" Wen Jing repeated this sentence, and then realized: "Is this kid a ghost? The ghost who lives in my house?"

"That's right." Chongming said, "I thought the kid was naughty at first, and I just wanted to go and take him on the road. But when I went there, I chatted with the kid and found out that someone was going to kill you. You said that the kid originally wanted to control you to call the police, but the murderer who killed him noticed it."

"So I did what I can." Chongming went on to say, "The murderer has been setting foot near your house for several days, and I will wait at your house. When he comes again, I will catch him directly... I didn't expect that he would go to bed directly that night. Let's do it."

"He made the noise that night?" Wen Jing asked.

"Yes." Chongming replied: "We have an appointment, when the murderer comes, he will throw a cup as a sign. When he gets excited, he will smash the whole house."

Wen Jing: "..."

"It just so happened that you lived in that house for a while, you just told the police and that's it. You found clues about his identity and let him meet his parents. His bones were buried in the ground, and he left." Zhong Ming shot Looking at the child's head: "You can't take him for a long time, that's all right," he said to the child in the last sentence: "You go with him."

Wen Jing: "..."

"No, I'm just an ordinary person, you asked me to bring a kid..." He hesitated: "Isn't it appropriate?"

"It's quite suitable. You two lived in a good place before." Chongming said, "This kid just loves to watch TV, but he's actually quite obedient. I'm afraid you might find him watching TV and know how to cool the TV with a towel..."

So this is the truth of the weird incident that scared him half to death?Wen Jing complained silently, the two struggled for a while, and finally the child left with him.

He can draw, drew a sketch of the child, and handed it over to the police station, saying that he found it under the bed when he was packing up, and he never threw it away.After passing by, I ran into a policeman and was delighted to see the sketch: "You know everything? You drew this picture yourself, right?"

Without waiting for Wen Jing to explain, the policeman said: "It's not so much that the detective's rhetoric is deceiving us, but rather deceiving you. But he is willing to tell you, and we will not help him hide it." The policeman stood up and took a picture. Pat him on the shoulder: "Hold your thigh well, it will be very beneficial in the future."

Wen Jing looked bewildered.

After a while, the police station notified him that they had contacted the child's parents, and Wen Jing also went there on the day the child was sent away.When he came back, he looked at the pile of things he had packed up, with a dazed expression on his face.

When he felt something was wrong around him, he quit his job and prepared to go back to his hometown.Later, he found that someone had been staring at him, so he went to Chongming.Now he has no danger, no job, in short, nothing.

Before leaving, Wen Jing went to find Chongming again, wanting to say goodbye.When Chongming heard that he was leaving, he said abruptly, "Come to my place?"

Wen Jing: "?"

"I need an assistant."

For some reason, Wen Jing remembered what the police officer said, gritted his teeth and stomped his feet, and said, "OK."

After staying by Chongming's side for half a month, Wen Jing finally understood why the police officer said that Chongming had a thigh.First of all, Wen Jing discovered that under Chongming's foolish appearance, there was a very talented soul.

The storefront was originally a duplex structure, and the upper floor was renovated by Chongming into a study room. There were books, many books, and it was said that Chongming had read all of them.He asked curiously once, and Chongming said nonchalantly, "The origin of family education."

"My father likes to read very much." Chongming said: "Sometimes he can read a book for 2 years... But now he has found a new job and is a bit busy, so he doesn't read much."

Wen Jing saw him taking it for granted, and suddenly felt that what Chong Ming said about the 2 years was not bragging at all.

Chongming sometimes tells him stories, all kinds of stories, such as cultivation, martial arts, the protagonist is sometimes him, and sometimes another person. As for why he can tell that the protagonist is him, it is too easy to judge. These people have similar personalities.When Chongming talks about himself, he always describes himself perfectly, but when talking about another person, he has to be more objective.

Wen Jing also asked him: "Who is that person you are talking about?"

"My father." Chong Ming said nonchalantly, "He can be regarded as my adoptive father, but now...he doesn't seem to want to be my father anymore."

Wen Jing: "???"

He gave an inexplicable "Oh" and asked again, but Chongming didn't say anything.

He was in Chongming's shop, saying that he was working as an assistant for him, but in fact, he was more or less a nanny, cooking, cleaning the room, going out to work with Chongming, and switching identities with Chongming. When he was a Taoist priest, Wen Jing was a little girl. Taoist priest, Wen Jing was his assistant when he was a detective.

The longer he stayed with Chongming, the more Wen Jing couldn't figure out this person. He usually seemed lazy and casual, but he had extraordinary patience and care. Such a character showed clues in his case.Chongming stayed by his side, and didn't say anything to him, so as not to worry him, but he arranged everything by himself, not only taking away the kid around him, but also taking away the bad guys who threatened his life.

However, just when he had just developed some respect for Chongming, an accident happened.

One day, he went to Chongming's room and asked him to get up to eat, but found that there was no one in Chongming's room, only a big fiery red bird nestled on the bed.Because the bird was too big, Wen Jing cried out in shock.

The bird opened its eyes and asked him in the gorgeous voice he knew so well, "What's for breakfast this morning?"

Then Chongmingniao realized that something was wrong, and called to him as if it was a remedy after a dead sheep: "Chirp?"

"Don't chirp at me..." Wen Jing muttered to himself, "Your bird-like appearance is so handsome, calling like this will damage your image..."

Chongming: "..."

He flapped his wings and blasted Wen Jing out.

Later, the two had a tacit understanding, and they never mentioned the incident of the horse falling.It's just that sometimes Wen Jing will silently go shopping for some toys that pet birds are said to like, and put them in the house.Chongming didn't seem to know what it was for, and occasionally played with it in his hands, and seemed to like it very much.

According to the occasional few words that Chongming revealed, Wen Jing guessed that Chongming should have more background than what the police officer said back then.A master lives in seclusion in a small town, opens a small shop, and pretends to be aggressive in front of ordinary people. It sounds very touching.But Wen Jing always feels that Chongming is definitely not such a person...or such a bird, does he feel comfortable living a comfortable, stable and pretending life.

And Wen Jing felt that in Chongming's story, he was much better than now.

One day, the arrival of a person gave him a glimpse of the truth of the matter.That day a young man with a baby face came to the store, Chongming didn't let him out, he made tea to receive him.When Wen Jing bumped into Chong Ming, he was different from his usual foolishness, and talked to him with a straight face.

He vaguely overheard the conversation between the two people, about the bureau chief, and Wen Jing, the head of the Brainstorming Emperor, began to brainstorm about the ups and downs that had happened to Chongming.

Chongming also noticed that he was very curious, but Chongming, who was possessed by the domineering president, didn't want to talk to him at all now, and would only snort coldly when he asked him in a roundabout way.The person I saw that day never came again.

After a while, the two of them took on a big case.Unlike the trivial matter that happened to Wen Jing, which could be solved by Chongming with a flick of a finger, the other party was a thousand-year-old evil spirit who attacked people ruthlessly. He hated all human beings so much. Someone they knew came to ask Chongming hands on.

Chongming agreed, and fought against that ghost a few times, both sides won and lost each other, and then again, that ghost got the news from nowhere, and unexpectedly came to the door.

When he got up early, Wen Jing got up in a daze, and when he saw the blood and bones flowing in his living room, he was so shocked that he couldn't move.

Having known Chongming for so long, he is no longer the ordinary person he was at the beginning, but this does not mean that he can still laugh after seeing such a scene.

"I'll teach him a lesson first..." The 'man' in the bones and blood walked towards him, muttering to himself, "I'll kill the people around him first..."

Wen Jing was held hostage by an inexplicable pressure, standing where he was, trying to escape but unable to move a single step.

"Chongming, come back quickly!" He shouted silently from the bottom of his heart, trying to move his position, but with little success.As the evil spirit approached step by step, Wen Jing trembled and closed his eyes.

"boom!"

Just when Li Gui's cold fingertips were about to touch him, Wen Jing suddenly heard a loud noise.He opened his eyes and looked over, only to find that it was Chongming...

Chongming directly smashed through the window of their house and rushed in.

He has been Chongming's nanny all these years and has always lived in his home.Chongming's house is on the fourteenth floor, and it is impossible for ordinary people to go up there.

However, Chongming is not an ordinary person, not only is he not an ordinary person, he is not even a human being.Only then did Wen Jing recall the scene that happened the year before last. By the way, Chong Ming was a bird.

"Come to my house to make trouble, the young master gave you room, and you still think I'm giving you face?" The weight of the bird shape was obviously a little violent: "I'll kill you!"

With Chongming's appearance, the pressure was shifted, and Wen Jing found himself able to move.He was helped to the side by a person, and a glass of water was stuffed in his hand.

"You have worked hard all these years." The other party said: "Chongming has had a bad temper since he was a child, his father is used to it... At that time, he was still in the form of a bird, so his father didn't raise him as a child, he could pamper him however he wanted, Make it a habit."

"Then... did something happen between them?" Wen Jing asked cautiously: "Chongming said once that his father didn't want to be his father..."

"Listen to him talking nonsense." The other party laughed, pointed outside and said, "You saw it too, he just has this kind of temper, he doesn't care about it when he goes crazy, tearing up whatever he sees, his father tells him to sober up. He just does it. "

This person was right, Chong Ming was simply performing live.When Li Gui touched his house, he was extremely furious. He didn't care about anything, and just beat Li Gui to nothing.He was also wondering why the person beside him didn't stop Chongming, when he saw a person appearing from mid-air and entering the house through the smashed window of his house.

In the meantime, this person smiled softly at him, nodded in salute, and then softly called into the air: "Chongming, come back."

The big fiery red bird seemed to wake up, flapped its wings in mid-air, glanced at him, and then launched a burst of attacks, it was angry with him.

The man didn't take it seriously, and smiled lightly again: "Let's go after you think about it."

"Go? Where are you going?" Chongming came in and said, "I haven't finished my reflection yet."

"Oh..." He sighed meaningfully, then looked at Wen Jing standing beside him who didn't know what to do, and said, "You should reflect on it again,"

After finishing speaking, he smiled and said to Wen Jing: "My surname is Mu, and my name is Mu Yunxian. According to seniority, I am Chongming's adoptive father. He has troubled you these days."

Wen Jing was a little dazed, thinking how such a young person could be Chong Ming's father.After a while, he realized that Chongming was not a human being, and neither was his father, and it seemed that his father was much stronger than him, so it was nothing to look young.So he quickly responded and said, "Hello, Uncle Mu."

Mu Yunxian was amused by this address. Regardless of age or seniority in the mission management office, he hasn't been called uncle for a long time.He took a closer look at Wen Jing, gave him something, and smiled again: "Little thing, let me give you something to play with."

"Take it, it's our practice there." Chongming said, "Anyway, he doesn't lack this."

Wen Jing said sillyly.Then I heard Mu Yunxian continue to say: "If you really don't come with me, I will leave."

"Let's go." Chongming said impatiently, "Don't miss me."

Mu Yunxian couldn't help laughing, and said in a gentle voice: "Okay."

Wen Jing watched them go away, and when Chongming came back, he looked him up and down carefully, and he was so hairy: "What are you looking at?"

"I didn't expect your father to be so..."

"What's the matter?" Chongming thought, if he knew that Mu Yunxian had a small world of his own, he wouldn't be scared to death.Thinking of this, he said in his mouth: "That is, I am the second richest generation in the world!"
