In the "Civet Office", after listening to Li Xiaoqi and Chu Xi's story about the encounter at the "Andong City Crematorium", even Zi Meng, who is a member of the "Senluo System", was confused. , But even so, Yang Shuang, who was playing with his favorite tea set, made tea for everyone, and said with a smile.
"Although, I don't understand what's going on in this crematorium."
"However, Xiao Qi said that the security guard did not realize that he was dead. This is worthy of scrutiny."
"Master and disciple Xiaoqi, the wandering souls they saw were all acting strangely. Although there were neither many nor many, the death of these people in the crematorium would definitely attract attention, not to mention that in the end, just When a stoker died, it caused such a big sensation."
"So, in a place like the crematorium, where a lot of yin energy gathers, ghosts can move relatively freely even during the day. Therefore, I guess there are still some people in this crematorium who don't know that they are dead. staff member."
"As for those weird wandering souls, it's likely that someone stripped off part of their heavenly and earthly souls without harming the human souls of the crematorium employees."
When Yang Shuang said this, Li Xiaoqi, who had guessed his intention, immediately spoke.
"What you mean is that you want to screen out all these ghosts who don't know that they are dead."
Hearing Li Xiaoqi say what he wanted to say next, Yang Shuang first took a leisurely sip of tea, and then said calmly like a strategist strategizing.
"Since the enemy is overt and we are covert, and we don't know what they want to do."
"Since this is the case, we will give him salvation for all those ghosts who are obviously an important part and do not know that they are dead."
"Next, what we have to do is wait for the angry enemy to take the initiative to expose themselves and come to us."
The next day, on the grounds that Yang Shuang needed to perform rituals to get rid of bad luck among the staff at the crematorium, he asked everyone, including Director Li, not to leave the crematorium until the rituals were completed. In the evening of the next day, , the sun on the horizon has not completely disappeared. Under the reflection of the setting sun, the entire sky shows an abnormal red color, and just when the staff of the crematorium are impatient to wait and want to go home. , but Yang Shuang called Director Li and told him that the crematorium staff could be put off work.
When Yang Shuang did this, everyone, including Director Li, looked puzzled. Even a large part of the staff were complaining to Director Li. When they saw the two young people he was looking for, It was unreliable. Amid complaints, they arrived at the exit of the crematorium, but what they saw next made everyone in the crematorium stop in their tracks.
The four thick vermilion stone pillars at the entrance archway were covered with talismans at some point. Three circular screens were hung on the top between the three vermilion stone pillars. A layer of white powder was sprinkled on the ground between them. What made Director Li and the others even more surprised was that early spring was already a windy season, but the white powder on the ground was not blown by the wind no matter how much it blew. Blow up the slightest bit.
Seeing everyone with puzzled expressions, Yang Shuang walked up to Director Li with a smile and spoke to him.
"Director Li, please stay with us brothers for a while, and the others can leave."
Director Li said in surprise after hearing Yang Shuang's words.
"But the rituals haven't been done yet?!"
Looking at Director Li who was obviously worried that he and Li Xiaoqi wanted to defraud him of money, Yang Shuang smiled and said.
"Don't worry, Director Li, the rituals will begin soon."
When Yang Shuang and Director Li were talking, five staff members had already walked out of the crematorium from the entrance. But when the sixth person was about to walk through the entrance, they were hung on the top between three vermilion stone pillars, like The thing that was a circular mesh suddenly began to sway without any wind. At the same time, the sixth person, who had his feet on the white powder on the ground, seemed to have had his soul taken away in an instant, and he stayed in place with a dull expression for a few seconds. , and then he smiled and shook his head as if he understood something. After completely walking out of the crematorium, his body gradually began to become transparent until it completely disappeared into the darkness that had begun.
Regarding this situation, except for Yang Shuang, Director Li, who put his hand on his shoulder, and Li Xiaoqi, the others seemed to have not seen this strange scene at all. A total of seventy people left like this. Passing the entrance of the crematorium, there were thirty people among them. Just like the sixth person, after completely walking out of the crematorium, their bodies gradually began to become transparent until they completely disappeared into the darkness that had begun.
Director Li, who saw all this, was so surprised that he was completely speechless. He just looked at Yang Shuang pointing at the entrance of the crematorium. In response, Li Xiaoqi came over and said.
"Those who disappear are people who are dead but don't know it."
Director Li, who barely calmed down after hearing Li Xiaoqi's words, asked with a trembling voice.
"Then what should we do next?"
Regarding Director Li’s question, Li Xiaoqi continued.
"Don't worry, there's still one person left."
Understanding what Li Xiaoqi meant, Director Li sighed softly and walked towards the entrance. Then, like his thirty employees, he gradually became transparent and finally disappeared into the night. But at this moment , Li Xiaoqi said "Huh" first, and then said with some confusion.
"I remember Director Li said before that the Andong City Crematorium has a total of seventy-one employees."
Hearing Li Xiaoqi's doubts, Yang Shuang said nonchalantly at first.
"Look at your memory. Someone died before, the new stoker."
As soon as Yang Shuang finished speaking, his expression suddenly changed and he said urgently.
"Now, who's over there in the incineration room?!"
After hearing what Yang Shuang said, Li Xiaoqi said while running towards the incineration room.
"My unlucky apprentice!"
It turned out that in order to conduct a perfect ambush against an unknown enemy, while Li Xiaoqi and Yang Shuang were screening the dead, other people in the "Civet Office" were in other locations in the crematorium. The magic weapon trap was set up, and the person in charge of the area of the incineration room was none other than Li Xiaoqi’s apprentice Chu Xi. Before Li Xiaoqi and Yang Shuang could arrive at the area of the incineration room, the person suddenly disappeared from the incineration room. There was a loud explosion in the direction of the room. When Li Xiaoqi and Yang Shuang arrived, they saw several coffin nails driven into Chu Xi's forehead, chest and abdomen. They looked at the people who were coming. Li Xiaoqi and Yang Shuang, Chu Xi said without tears.
"Master, I've had enough of this, a world where I'm the only one hurt..."
