The anchor is dying every day [System]

It was working time at this time, Xiao Yuening hid in an alley across the street, secretly watching the white-collar workers in suits and leather shoes of the opposite building file in.

Before he came, he checked on the Internet. It is said that Boss Liu is very hardworking.If nothing else happened, he would be able to see this legendary big man today.

When the time slowly pointed to 55:[-] in the morning, a luxury car with golden wings drove over in a high-profile manner and stopped in front of the building.

A male assistant in a suit and leather shoes got out of the car. He opened the rear door graciously. A rather imposing middle-aged man got out of the car. He was escorted by the male assistant and walked towards the revolving door.

Liu Pingan, he really appeared.

Xiao Yuening watched the alley for a while, and after confirming that this person had indeed entered the company, he pulled the brim of his hat, turned and left in another direction with the black cat behind him.

Because of the reward orders issued by the gate of hell these days, Xiao Yuening really suffered a lot.He was obviously fighting against evil forces for the stability of society, but he acted like a wanted criminal.

He dare not take the high-speed rail plane, he is afraid that some of the congregation of Hell's Gate will be engaged in related work, and he is afraid that his movements will be revealed because of this.

So, he simply chose to drive all the way to L City, where the driver robbed him of a large sum of money.After getting out of the car, you can’t take your ID card to open a room in a hotel, you can only find an informal hotel in a corner that doesn’t require an ID card, and you have to guard against someone prying open the door to steal things at night...

Fortunately, his hard work was not in vain. He has now successfully figured out the general situation of the Hell's Gate Branch in L City, and he has also stepped on the place where the Time-Space Gate is located.

Unlike the previous situation, the location of the time-space gate in L City is actually in a villa where Liu Pingan often lives.

A space door that can connect to another world appeared in the house out of thin air. Although Xiao Yuening couldn't imagine Liu Pingan's attitude at the beginning, it can be seen from the fact that he quickly became one of the twelve judges who held power. This man is indeed a businessman.

Xiao Yuening guessed that not long after the door appeared, the people from the Gate of Hell also discovered it and came to find it.For self-protection or other purposes, Liu Pingan should have reached some kind of agreement with the other party.The end result is that he became one of the judges holding the authority at the gate of hell, not only saved his life, but also gained great strength with the help of the other party.And the gate of hell also has a big boss as its financial backing, and both parties are very happy.

Liu Ping'an's villa is located in a high-end residential area on the outskirts of the city. Xiao Yuening urged Xiao Hei to sneak in ahead of time while the security guards were not paying attention, while he himself carried a packed box lunch and pretended to be delivering food. Then he was let go.

After entering the community, Xiao Yuening threw away the lunch box in his hand, and led Xiao Hei towards Liu's villa.

He had observed around the community before, probably because the big boss was not used to strangers appearing in his own territory, and he had arranged all the envoys under him to various missionary sites in L City, responsible for absorbing new recruits for the Gate of Hell. Believers.

Apart from himself, Liu Ping'an's villa has no other people living in it, probably because he was afraid that his secret would be leaked, so he even fired the nanny.Normally, only one or two divine envoys would come to him occasionally, and most of the time the villa was empty.

But for Xiao Yuening, this is great news.

Pulling up the hood, Xiao Yuening tried his best to avoid the cameras in the community, and quickly turned into Liu's garden.

Liu's garden did not plant any plants. Instead, it was full of rockery, white stone streams and dry tree root carvings, with no trace of greenery visible.

At first glance, it looked very simple and majestic, but after Xiao Yuening rolled in, as soon as his feet landed, he immediately felt the cold power emanating from the gate of time and space.The treacherous area formed by this force not only enveloped the entire villa of the Liu family, but also enclosed the garden together.

It's a ghost town in shape.

No wonder the garden was decorated in such a way that not even a living grass could be seen.It seems that it's not that Liu Ping'an doesn't want to plant them, but that even if he does, these plants will die one after another under the invasion of Huangquan's yin.

Xiao Yuening led the black cat forward cautiously, when suddenly there was a violent movement in the pocket of his clothes, he stretched out his hand to take it out, it turned out that Xiao Huang was struggling endlessly in his pocket.

The puppet in front of him didn't know what was going on, and his whole body was covered with a thick layer of resentment.The originally peaceful eyeballs also shot a frightening red light at this time, looking as scary as a ghost doll that is about to turn into a monster in a horror movie.

Xiao Yuening looked at the puppet in his hand, with a somewhat surprised and uncertain expression on his face.

For a long time, Xiao Huang's personality has made him feel that the other party is gentle and harmless.Although APP called Xiao Huang "Wraith", he didn't feel that the other party fit the word "Wraith".But now, looking at the terrifying puppet in his hand, which was filled with resentment and was so agitated that it was almost uncontrollable... Xiao Yuening felt that the other party really fit the image of "Wraith" at this moment.

What caused its resentment?

Besides the gate of time and space, is there anything else in this house?

With his heart beating in his throat instantly, Xiao Yuening held Hades' Whip in one hand and the puppet in the other, and said softly, "What do you want to do? Just lead the way."

Hearing this, the puppet, who was entangled in resentment, suddenly shot out a white spot of light from the forehead, and after a quick circle in front of Xiao Yuening, it flew straight towards the villa.

A spot of light condensed from Xiao Huang's consciousness opened the way ahead, Xiao Yuening followed after holding the king's whip, and Xiao Hei, who was left behind alone, had to choose to cut off.

Sure enough, there was no one in the villa, but the door was locked.

The white light went straight through the wall and penetrated into the interior of the villa. Xiao Yuening was blocked outside and walked around, and suddenly found that one of the windows of the villa was unlocked, so he quickly went in through this window.

The black cat followed closely behind, jumped into the house with a vigorous posture that did not match its body shape.

After entering the villa, the cold atmosphere that seemed to be everywhere became more dignified.

The closer to the door, the greater the influence of this huge yin energy. Xiao Yuening even saw fine droplets of water condensed on a glass in the room.

The white light spot formed by Xiao Huang's consciousness immediately started flying in another direction after seeing Xiao Yuening and the others following up.

Seeing this, Xiao Yuening quickly followed up with a whip, and the black cat also twisted its fat buttocks and ran behind step by step.

The group finally reached the entrance to the basement of the villa.

After hovering outside the basement door for a while, the white light spot suddenly plunged in and disappeared.Xiao Yuening stood outside the basement door, took a deep breath while holding the doorknob, and gently opened the door.

Behind the door, there is a dark staircase leading down.The moment the door opened, Xiao Yuening's nose immediately smelled a musty stench.This smell is like the mildew smell from something that has not been cleaned for a long time, with moisture.

The white spot of light could no longer be seen, and it was unknown whether it had reached its destination or could not be sustained and dissipated.

Xiao Yuening looked at the pitch-black stairs in front of him, took another deep breath, clenched the Hades Whip in his hand, and began to walk down step by step.

After his eyes adapted to the darkness, he quickly saw the whole picture of the basement in front of him.

Empty, very empty.

The entire basement was empty except for a suspected coffin in the middle.There is also a locked door in the farthest corner of the house, the place with the most yin energy in the whole villa, it should be where the gate of time and space is located.

Xiao Yuening walked carefully to the bottom of the stairs, and after lightly stepping on the ground, his eyes were fixed on the coffin in front of him that was blocking between him and the gate of time and space.

"Meow!" The black cat following Xiao Yuening suddenly uttered a short cat meow, then jumped up and onto the lid of the pitch-black coffin.

Xiao Yuening was taken aback by its sudden movement, and quickly scolded in a low voice: "Xiao Hei!"

The black cat glanced back at him, then lightly jumped off the coffin lid, and returned to Xiao Yuening's feet.

Xiao Yuening saw it jumping up and down, but there was no reaction in the coffin. He relaxed a little, but he didn't dare to be careless at all.

Carefully walking around the coffin twice, Xiao Yuening gently lay on the coffin lid and listened carefully, but there was still no movement inside.

"Could it be an empty coffin? But what is Liu Pingan doing with this empty coffin in his basement?"

Xiao Yuening was puzzled, and after looking around the coffin again, he finally made up his mind and pushed the coffin in front of him away.

The coffin lid made a heavy moving sound, and after being pushed away, Xiao Yuening probed inside to look inside, but was surprised.

I saw a little girl in red lying in this coffin.This little girl's forehead was covered by a yellow talisman. Her skin was pale and her appearance was exquisite. Unfortunately, the place where the eyes should have been under the yellow talisman was empty, and her eyes could not be seen. Her two equally pale and slender palms overlapped. Putting it on the chest, it looks very cute.

Next to her connection, a doll that was identical to her in both appearance and clothing was also lying in the same position with her eyes closed.

At first glance, the big one and the small one seem to be carved out of the same mold, and the resemblance is almost weird.

The only difference is that the doll has eyes, but the little girl does not.

It was Qiao Mengmeng.

Why is she here?

Xiao Yuening was a little surprised. After hesitating for a moment, he reached out and removed the yellow talisman that was stuck on Qiao Mengmeng's forehead.

Almost the moment the yellow talisman was uncovered, Qiao Mengmeng, who had fallen into a deep sleep, moved immediately.

She saw one hand like a steel claw wrapping the strong wind, and grabbed Xiao Yuening's head and face fiercely. At the same time, the weird doll lying beside her suddenly opened its mouth, like countless filaments. A black thread spewed out from its mouth, stabbing towards Xiao Yuening fiercely like a steel needle.

"Stop! Mengmeng, it's me!" Xiao Yuening had been on guard for a long time. The moment he uncovered the yellow talisman, he quickly went to the side to hide, dodging the opponent's attack in embarrassment.

Hearing Xiao Yuening's voice, Qiao Mengmeng froze and stopped.

"Brother Ningning?" A pale little face emerged from the coffin, "looking" in his direction while holding the coffin wall.

Xiao Yuening breathed a sigh of relief: "It's me. Why are you here?"

When Xiao Mengmeng heard this, a strong resentment appeared on her delicate face, and she said in a low voice: "After I separated from you last time, I soon met a person who also wore a black robe. I guess he is the same as last time. The group who came back should belong to the same group, so I wanted to teach him a lesson, but he ran away, and I didn't care at the time... As a result, within a few days, that person actually brought a large number of people in black robes with him. People came to arrest me. One of them could control the ghost king. I couldn't beat him, so I was caught. They said they wanted to refine me into a ghost servant..."

She said, looking up at the dark basement, and said blankly: "But I don't know what happened, I was here when I opened my eyes again, but shouldn't I be in Province Y..."

Province Y?

Xiao Yuening's heart moved, and he quickly asked, "You said you went to Province Y?"

"Yeah, after I was arrested by those people, I was sent to Province Y, and I met a person who said he wanted to refine me into a ghost servant... Ah, that's right!" She said, suddenly Looking at Su Yi strangely, he said, "I saw a strange corpse placed in the magic circle on that person's site. That corpse looks like you!"

A corpse that looks like him?

Xiao Yuening's heart was shocked, he reached out his hand uncontrollably, tightly grasped Qiao Mengmeng's cold arm, and asked eagerly: "What did you say? You saw a corpse that looked very similar to me? Tell me again One more time! What is the specific condition of that corpse? How old is it? What are its characteristics? How can you be sure that it is a corpse?"

Qiao Mengmeng was taken aback by Xiao Yuening's series of questions, she thought for a while and said, "I just took a quick look, and I think he looks like you... Oh, by the way, he has a black spot at the end of his eyebrows. A mole. As for how I can be sure that he is a corpse... I can tell at a glance, he has been dead for a long time."

Xiao Yuening's mind was buzzing: "A mole? Yes... There is a mole..." His father has a mole on his eyebrows and tail, and the father and son do look alike.

But the question is, why is his father in province Y?Could it be that in the five years since his father left home, he has successfully pushed the task to the end?In the end, it failed again at the finishing touch?

Why did those people keep his dad's body?What are they trying to do?

After Xiao Yuening's mind fluttered for a while, he quickly thought of the key words in Xiao Mengmeng's words: "You said that... no, you said before that he was placed in a magic circle? What kind of magic circle? Array? Why did they put him in the array?"

Qiao Mengmeng shook her head: "I don't know, I just took a quick look, and soon those people used some method to make me fall asleep, I don't even know how I came here...Brother Ningning, here Where is it?"

Xiao Yuening responded indiscriminately, but did not answer her question.His mind was full of thoughts, and his mind was full of things about his father in Province Y...

Judging from Qiao Mengmeng's words, his father was indeed dead.But why did those people at the gate of hell keep his body?Still put him in the magic circle?Could it be that the damn Lord of Hell has researched a new sorcery?

Thinking of this possibility, Xiao Yuening felt an indescribable suffocation in his heart. He really wanted to fly to Province Y immediately and trample to death those who dared to insult his father's body.

...Unfortunately, he doesn't have that ability yet.

Xiao Yuening smiled wryly in his heart, and tried his best to calm down his mood.

He comforted himself that sooner or later, he would take his father's bones back, and at the same time, he would make the people at the gate of hell pay a painful price, making them regret everything he had done.

After silently swearing the oath in his heart, Xiao Yuening raised his head and saw Qiao Mengmeng holding the baby in his arms, carefully observing his expression.

Xiao Yuening thought it was his ferocious expression that frightened her, so he quickly comforted her: "Did I frighten you? I'm sorry..."

Qiao Mengmeng shook her head lightly, and said in a jiffy, "...Hey, brother Ningning, why is the ghost king who followed you gone? Is he dead?"

Xiao Yuening: "...he's not dead."

Are you so looking forward to his death?

Qiao Mengmeng let out an "oh", and there was an obvious disappointed expression on her face.

Xiao Yuening didn't look at her again, but set his eyes on the closed door in the corner of the basement.

The Yin Qi emanating from this door was stronger than the rest of the basement combined. If he guessed correctly, the Gate of Time and Space was behind this door.

Xiao Yuening clenched the Hades whip in his hand, and walked forward slowly.

The door of this room was locked by a lock, which should be the lock on Liu Ping'an.

This high-ranking big boss seems to be surprisingly selfish, or——he doesn't trust his envoys from the gates of hell?

In short, this man did not share the door of time and space that could enhance his strength with his subordinates like the few judges Xiao Yuening had met before, he chose to monopolize this door for himself.

I just don't know if the envoys under him would still be willing to offer their loyalty to him in this way...preferably not.

The door was locked, Xiao Yuening wanted to kick it open, but the door was made of fine steel, even though his current physical fitness was quite amazing, he still couldn't kick the specially made steel door.

Fortunately, there is a helper by my side.

Seeing Xiao Yuening looking at her, Qiao Mengmeng didn't wait for the other party to speak, the baby in her arms opened its mouth and spit out several thin black lines in an instant.

After these lines got into the keyhole of the copper door, they drilled left and right. After a while, the steel door in front of me made a soft "click", and it was just opened.

Behind the door, as Xiao Yuening thought, there is a door of time and space hidden.

Slowly stepping into the door, the thick yin qi rolling in the pitch-black space, carrying a bone-chilling chill, continuously invaded the human skin.

Although Xiao Yuening felt that according to Liu Ping'an's personality, it was impossible to allow other ghosts to exist in his own door, but he still tightly held the Hades whip in his hand, not daring to slack off in the slightest.

After seeing Xiao Yuening enter the door, Qiao Mengmeng also followed.

Long before she took a step, the black cat followed Xiao Yuening's footsteps, and jumped into the door two or three times.

This was the first time Qiao Mengmeng came into contact with the gate of time and space. Almost from the moment she stepped into the gate, the skin all over her body began to impatiently absorb the huge yin energy in this alien space.

For a moment, countless thick black yin qi wrapped around her whole body, almost wrapping her into a huge black cocoon, making her figure unclear.

Xiao Yuening glanced at her, but did not stop her, but continued to move forward, looking for the core of the gate of time and space.

The black cat flicked its tail and ran ahead of him to lead the way. As he walked, he didn't know if it sensed something. Its ears moved suddenly, and after a low "meow" came out of its throat, it flicked its tail and ran away. Into the depths of the mist.

Xiao Yuening's heart tightened, he involuntarily clenched the whip in his hand, and ran forward behind the black cat.

Passing through layers of thick fog, a familiar white spot of light gradually lit up in the fog in front of him—it was the bright light condensed by Xiao Huang's consciousness.

The closer Xiao Yuening got, the more trembling Xiao Huang felt in his pocket, as if he was trying his best to hold back some intense emotions.

Xiao Yuening couldn't figure out what was wrong with it, so he could only continue to rush towards the direction of the light spot under the leadership of Xiao Hei.

However, the further they moved forward, the deeper the spot of light in the fog ahead flew, as if they were purposely leading the way for them.

After running forward for another 5 minutes, a vague outline of the altar gradually appeared in the black mist—under the guidance of the light spot, Xiao Yuening had already arrived at the location of the core.

With the appearance of the altar, Xiao Huang's emotions in his pocket became more and more intense. It kept shaking its body, as if trying to struggle out of Xiao Yuening's arms.

The spot of light that led Xiao Yuening did not dissipate after he reached the altar, but lingered in a corner under the altar, as if there was something there.

Xiao Yuening slowly approached that position, and then took a closer look, and saw at the foot of the pitch-black altar, a dead bone was tightly embedded in the high platform that was neither brick nor stone.

——There was a huge damage on its pale skull, as if it was severely smashed by someone before its death; the skeleton on its body was also broken in many places, it should have suffered some kind of inhuman abuse; its head was crooked As he stood, the weird vines on the altar were covered all over his body, and these vines tightly strangled its pale skeleton, as if trying to drag it into the depths of the altar.

On this piece of dry bones, there are still clothes that are so tattered that the specific style can no longer be seen, and it is even impossible to distinguish between men and women.In the empty eye sockets and skull of the other party, there were even traces of the weird vines on the altar, which made people's scalp tense.

The first time I saw human bones under the altar of the Gate of Time and Space, Xiao Yuening was stunned for a moment, and his footsteps stagnated unconsciously: "...What is this?"

No one answered.

Su Yi was not there, and Qiao Mengmeng was also left behind by him. The only two cats and dolls who followed him were both non-speaking breeds, so of course no one would answer his questions.

Even Xiao Hei didn't know if he was frightened by the skeleton this time, and this time he had to rush over to eat those vines transformed from pure Yin Qi, but stuck to Xiao Yuening's face nervously. Legs, dare not leave half a step.

The white spots of light hovering around the dry bones gradually dissipated after Xiao Yuening approached, but Xiao Huang in his pocket was still extremely excited.

It struggled to flip out of Xiao Yuening's pocket and fell to the ground.After landing, he moved his body with difficulty and crawled towards the dry bones, as if he was eager to get close to the opponent.

Although he couldn't make an expression, the entire body of the puppet showed an indescribable sadness at the moment.
