[Comprehensive] So you are such New York

...what are these things...

It was already uncommon sense that a public phone rang suddenly on a deserted street on the first day of the new year, but the person on the phone who refused to reveal his identity even said that he needed her help and asked her to wait here for a while. car.

Ji Jiu had a question mark on his face.

She looked at John questioningly, and the other party responded with a serious face after listening to the entire conversation: "Do as she says."

Ji Jiu was stunned: "Are you serious?"

John didn't answer, but turned his eyes to the road.Because there were few people, both of them clearly saw a car turning the intersection and driving into the fork in front of them.

He raised his eyebrows, and he understood in surprise: "It's Leonard."

"Ok?"

Ji Jiu thought the name sounded familiar, but couldn't remember who it was, until the car stopped on the side of the road in front of her, and a chubby head poked out from the driver's seat.

"Oh, my god……"

It turned out to be Detective Fusco, who was going to work on the first day of the new year?

Seeing her standing here, Lenal Fusco opened his eyes wide in disbelief, frowned and said, "Are you kidding me? It's a little girl?"

Ji Jiu twitched his lips and glanced at John secretly. Without any hesitation, he urged, "Get in the car first."

Fusco waved at her almost at the same time, with a helpless expression on his face: "Come on."

It was like rushing ducks to the shelves, but after all, the person who came was a policeman, so Ji Jiu had no choice but to open the back door and get in.

The car started immediately, and she glanced at Fusco who was driving in the rearview mirror, and asked cautiously, "Where are we going?"

Fusco's face was full of doubts: "Long Island, you don't even know this?"

She has nothing to know!

At this moment, the phone vibrated, and a text message jumped in - there was no sender's number, only a sentence: Please connect the earphones to the phone.I will talk to you.

This form reminded Ji Jiu of the weird message in Xia Tian, ​​the text message with "".

Fuck, it's not this guy, is it?

She immediately put on the headset, and the icon for the call lit up immediately.

"Hey, were you the one who sent me a prank text last time!"

The other party was about to speak, but she had to stop when she asked her such a question, and replied: "Yes, but it was not a prank, just to say hello to you in advance."

Ji Jiu: "..."

The calm and indifferent female voice continued: "The destination will arrive in one hour and 45 minutes. You have enough time to check your equipment, nine."

"...This joke is not funny at all." Ji Jiu wanted to cry, who would go out to eat and still wear a bunch of talismans? !

"I never joke, Nine." The other party remained calm, "That's a rumored haunted house, that's why I need your help."

Depend on!

Ji Jiu cursed in his heart, and directly grabbed the back of the driver's seat: "Detective Fusco, I need to go home!"

"What?!" The man's entire face was wrinkled, "We're in a hurry, miss."

"I don't have enough tools on me, so I have to go back and get them."

Fusco gave her a quick look, and finally sighed: "Tell me the address."

Fortunately, they were not far from Ji Jiu's home, and Ji Jiu didn't waste too much time taking all kinds of spare charms back to the car.

She also called Yi Zhen on the way, saying that she couldn't go to lunch because of something.Yi Zhen didn't ask any more questions, she just asked her to be safe.

The car arrived at its destination on time.

This is a vacation home located on Long Island, but it has changed hands several times and is now almost abandoned.The house is originally a wooden structure, but no one takes care of it all year round, and it looks desolate and decaying in this season.

Fusco walked to the back of the car and opened the trunk while observing the movement in the yard.Immediately after, Ji Jiu smelled a strange smell. Before she could ask, the voice in the earphone said again: "The temperature in the room has dropped again. What can you see, Jiu?"

Compared with Ji Jiu, John's reaction was more direct.He had already drawn out his gun and held it in his hand, approaching the house warily.

Ji Jiu followed carefully, and sure enough, he felt the abnormally low temperature as soon as he entered the courtyard.Even though they are only separated by a courtyard gate, and both are outside, the temperature difference is extremely obvious.

She couldn't help wrapping her coat tightly, buried her face in the scarf, and walked a few steps towards the door.The sole of his foot stepped on a dry branch, and there was a "pop", John looked back, stopped and opened his mouth: "You..."

"Bam—"

The window seemed to be knocked hard by someone, making a loud crash.Ji Jiu froze, and looked over suddenly - a white figure whose appearance couldn't be seen was pressed against the window glass, and was beating the window sash so hard that his face was almost crushed.

With a thud in his heart, Ji Jiu immediately grasped the ghost talisman and dared not move again, but found that the ghost did not break out of the window, but seemed to be really blocked by glass, so he could only knock on the window relentlessly inside .

At this moment, John called her and motioned her to come forward: "Look here." The door is also made of wood, and it can be seen that no one has used it all year round, but the seal on the door seems to have just been torn and broken. The traces can still be completely assembled.

"Do you think it is similar to the pattern on your talisman paper?"

Ji Jiu also saw the pattern for the first time.

The two seals themselves are very ordinary, and they should be to tell others that this place cannot be entered. However, there are small circles of patterns in the blank spaces. At first glance, they look like children's graffiti, but if you look closely, you can find that those are indeed Is the orthodox rune.

It has the effect of binding and sealing.

At this time, the spell on the door was broken, and someone entered.

But this creates another problem—since the two talismans on the door have no effect, why can't that or those ghosts still come out?

That is to say, there are other places where the talismans are supporting this formation?The most important formation must still be there.

Ji Jiu hurriedly said: "John, help me find where there is such a pattern."

John responded and flew out around the house, while Ji Jiu squatted at the door to study how to draw the talisman.

But what about the people who go in?The feeling of this room is not good, can you come out smoothly after entering it?

"So, you came to me to help rescue the people inside?"

The voice in the earphones replied: "Yes." After a pause, she continued, "I'm not sure if the roots are in there too."

This is really...

Ji Jiusheng swallowed the cursing words: "How many in total?"

"People, two."

"Ghost, not sure... right?"

She sighed, but felt incredible, "But I never thought you would know that the root is still there."

"I'm good at studying, nine."

Just as he was talking, Fusco also opened the courtyard door and walked in. Seeing her gesticulating with one hand, he couldn't help but wonder, "What are you doing?"

"Hey! Waiting for someone?" Ji Jiu stood up and looked at the big bucket in his hand with the same strangeness, "What are you holding?"

Fusco waved his empty hand inexplicably: "Don't mention it, I don't know why I have to prepare dog blood, but it must be a black dog."

Hearing this, Ji Jiu almost jumped up, surprised and delighted: "What?! There is black dog blood?!"

In an emergency, it is a timely help!

She ran down the steps and pulled Fusco out of the courtyard door: "Who told you to prepare this?"

"Who else but that machine?" Fusco frowned suspiciously, and looked her over, "Didn't it find you?"

……machine?

"I did it because someone called and asked me to help."

Did Ji Jiu understand, but now is not the time to ask more questions, so she had to squat down first, take out the blank talisman paper, stained her fingers with blood, quickly drew a few ghost talismans and stuffed them to Fusco: "You Take this first."

"What the hell is this?"

The other party disliked it very much, but was too embarrassed to throw it away, so it could only be randomly stuffed into the pocket of the suit.

Ji Jiu didn't explain, but lowered his head again, and traced the seal symbol on the door in the same way.

Just after finishing one picture, John came back, nodded at her, and said in a deep voice, "One for each of the four corners of the roof, one for each of the four walls, and two seals for the front and back doors, and the one for the back door is still intact."

Now that the situation is clear, Ji Jiu has some confidence. After drawing the new talisman, he holds it in his hand and prepares to activate the jammer: "John, stay a little farther away."

Lenal Fusco was startled suddenly, and his expression suddenly became serious: "John? Who are you talking to?"

...Trough, to reveal stuffing.

Ji Jiu couldn't figure out how to get around it all of a sudden, so he simply skipped this topic, looked at Fusco with the same seriousness and said: "Detective, the mobile phone will be temporarily unavailable from now on, please pay attention."

"What? What happened to the phone?"

At the same time, the voice in the earphones sounded again: "Nine, then I won't be able to see..."

"You couldn't see those things in the first place." Ji Jiu interrupted her mercilessly, and decisively pressed the electromagnetic disruptor on the watch.

There was a buzzing sound in the earphones, and the world was quiet.

John was the first to reach the door, holding a gun and turning his head at her.

Ji Jiu said almost at the same time as him: "Let's go."

John rushed into the wooden house all at once, and Ji Jiu held the spell tightly and opened the wooden door, and was immediately shivered by the cold aura rushing towards him.

Detective Fusco in the back gasped, and couldn't help rubbing his arms: "It's colder inside than outside." Seeing Ji Jiu standing at the door and refusing to go in, he urged impatiently, "Why don't you go? ?”

It's not that Ji Jiu doesn't want to leave, but that it's too crowded inside.

White shadows can be seen almost everywhere under the pillars, on the walls, on the window sills, and on the roof beams.Although most of them couldn't see their faces clearly, Ji Jiu could clearly feel the eyes coming from every corner, and their whispers lingered in the room like echoes.

"someone is coming."

"Someone is here again."

"Stole their bodies."

"If you grab it, you can leave here."

"Hee hee hee."

"Great."

"Great."

"Hee hee hee."

Seeing that John had already gone up to the second floor, Ji Jiu had no choice but to take a creepy step inside.The group of white shadows rushed over immediately, the one in the front suddenly opened its mouth, and the filthy cold air hit like a knife.

Ji Jiu clenched the ghost talisman tightly and was about to throw it, but saw that it froze suddenly, its transparent body became blurred less than two meters away from her, like a stone falling from a calm lake, constantly floating ripple.

She threw the spell out immediately, and the ghost disappeared without a sound.

The other ghosts stopped in their tracks immediately, and started talking again.

"Can see us."

"She can see us."

The group of ghosts watched them vigilantly, but did not move.Ji Jiu took this opportunity to pull Fusco up and rushed to the second floor. Unexpectedly, before he finished the stairs, a series of gunshots came from above.

chug chug.

However, Fusco obviously didn't hear anything, and he was surprised when he saw her stop halfway: "What's the matter?"

At this time, John stuck his upper body out from the stairs, one hand was still shooting, and the other shoulder seemed to be carrying something: "I found them! Let's go!"

The atmosphere on the second floor was obviously not right, and even the group of ghosts on the first floor became irritable.

Ji Jiu asked anxiously: "Where's the root? Is she there?"

Fusco turned pale with fright, and finally burst into foul language: "Damn it! What are you talking about!?"

Before the words were finished, two figures fell from the top of the head one after another, Ji Jiu hurriedly supported one, and the other was caught by Fusco.

The long-haired woman who was being supported by Ji Jiu frowned and woke up unexpectedly.She glanced at Ji Jiu with difficulty, then shifted her gaze downwards, and grinned when she saw Fusco: "Hi, Leinar."

Fusco rolled his eyes: "My New Year's has been ruined, will someone count me as overtime pay?"

"No one pays salary except Finch." The long-haired woman curled her lips and calmly continued, "But it's best to get out of here now, guys."

But John hadn't come down yet.

Not only that, the group of ghosts on the first floor realized that their target was about to be taken away, and no longer feared the effect of the jammer, they gathered around the stairs and rushed towards the four with their teeth and claws.

The sum of upstairs and downstairs is not a quantity that can be eliminated at all!No wonder the previous people sealed off the whole house!

Even though the entrance was not far from the stairs, the few people couldn't move.Fierce gunshots were heard from above, and spiritual noises were heard between the floors.The wooden house trembled under the riot of the ghosts, as if it would fall apart at any moment.

Ji Jiu clenched her lips, no longer hesitated, and three seal symbols flew out of her hand.The talisman papers fell on the outside of the group of ghosts, connecting them into a triangle. The white shadow surrounded by the triangle seemed to be frightened, and started to rush out crazily, but they bumped into something and couldn't escape.

Ghost cries came and went, Ji Jiu looked at Fusco: "Detective, can you jump from here?"

Fusco looked puzzled, but he probably sensed the abnormality at this time, so he jumped directly without asking any more questions.Ji Jiu threw out a few ghost talismans to drive away the kid next to him, and then handed over the man he was carrying just now.

Fusco took one, raised his head and said, "Throw Xiao to me too, what about you?"

Ji Jiu handed the long-haired woman to Fusco, squatted down, jumped on the stairs, and stood firmly on the first floor: "It's okay, it's not too high."

But it was really impossible to stay inside anymore. She took Xiao and ran out the door with Fusco. The moment she went out, she shouted to the second floor: "I'm going to seal the house!"

A cold wind whizzed past, Ji Jiu saw the light gray-blue eyes, and closed the door almost at the same time, followed by the sealing talisman——

click.

The door lock was locked, and the shrill crying inside seemed to disappear in an instant.

The ears became quiet again, and the winter wind still made people feel a little warm.

It wasn't until Xiao and the unconscious man were put in the car that Ji Jiu heaved a sigh of relief, and turned off the electromagnetic disruptor by the way.Then she discovered that there was another person among them—or should I say a ghost.

It was different from the last time I saw it, the root was very weak now, and the already transparent body was even thinner.But she got into the car immediately and checked Xiao's situation first.

The other party was resting with eyes closed, breathing evenly and calmly.

Noticing Ji Jiu's gaze, she turned around and smiled sweetly.

The same voice also sounded in Ji Jiu's earphones.

"Thank you, Nine."

Ji Jiu smiled equally happily: "So, are you free to answer my questions now?"
