The scene suddenly became a little weird.
Director Gao became increasingly uneasy when he saw Master Liu denying it. Judging from the way Xiao Jiang and Xiao Lu died, it was obviously not like normal human methods.
It is impossible for human beings to have this kind of mobility, to be able to come and go freely on the ceiling, like a ghost, without anyone noticing?
The most important thing is that under normal circumstances, humans cannot be so bloodthirsty and cruel. Even when killing someone, there is a motive and a method.
The cruel method of biting out the throat is in no way human-like.
Human minions never have such powerful destructive power.
This isn't a little scary anymore.
Jiang Yue stood at the door of the coffee shop, calmly. Observing the reactions of Director Gao and Master Liu.
Director Gao's fear was definitely not feigned. It could be seen that he was indeed frightened. Especially the rhythm of the shooting just now was obviously a bit anxious.
It's a pity that the murderer didn't hit those consecutive shots, and all of them were fired on the corpses of his men.
In addition to being shot in the middle of the forehead, there were bullet holes in his chest, abdomen and waist.
Jiang Yue did not rejoice in his misfortune.
In any case, this is a young life. Being able to enter the special department must be the pride of the family and the treasure of the family.
He died inexplicably like this. In the final analysis, it was not his fault.
Master Liu, on the other hand, was stunned for a while, then walked to the body, turned it over and picked over it, as if he was checking something.
After a while, he stood up and sighed: "Old Gao, please forgive me and accept the change."
Jiang Yue was speechless on the spot.
He thought that after observing this guy for a long time, he would definitely have a long talk. Who would have thought that after opening his mouth, he would actually feel sad and resigned.
Aren't you a master?
Jiang Yue's expression suddenly changed, remembering Master Liu's previous assurance.
"Master Liu, I remember you just said that Yunshan Times Square will be absolutely safe from now on, right? Then tell me, what is going on?"
After all, Master Liu was unmoved.
Instead, he turned back and waved to the female assistant. The female assistant quickly handed over the compass.
Master Liu sighed: "Sir Yan, when I say safety, I mean that the magic circle will not be activated again. Doesn't it mean that there will be no invasion of other species?"
As he spoke, the magnetic needle of the compass in Master Liu's hand began to shake violently.
This shaking momentum is obviously abnormal.
Master Liu's expression changed drastically, and he walked back and forth in the corridor repeatedly holding the compass. No matter where he went, the shaking did not subside at all, but showed signs of getting worse.
"How could this happen? How could this happen?" Master Liu's expression was quite ugly.
"Old Gao, something is very wrong."
Gao Gao had lost two of his capable men in a row and was already in a state of despair.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Nothing is right. I dare say that there must be evil spirits that have sneaked into the mall, and they have just entered. The magnetic needle on my compass will only appear like this when the magnetic field is chaotic. You know, when Does the magnetic field cause chaos?"
"What?" Gao Gao asked hurriedly.
"Haunted!"
"Especially for ghosts, their magnetic fields are very strong. In fact, they themselves are a kind of strange aura. We may not be able to see ghosts with the naked eye, but the magnetic field does not lie. Therefore, where ghosts appear, the magnetic field is often very strong. Chaos. Of course, ordinary mediocre compasses cannot capture this. This compass of mine is inherited from twenty or thirty generations of ancestors and has hundreds of years of heritage. It is true to say that it is a spiritual object. "
The first reaction from Gao Gao was: "Do you want to call for help?"
Master Liu rolled his eyes: "Don't you see how bloodthirsty this ghost is? From my judgment, this is definitely a ghost that has been in evil for more than a hundred years. The more people you call, the worse the result will be. Wait, Let me make some predictions."
Master Liu reached into his arms and took out a brocade bag.
From the brocade bag, three divination copper coins were poured out.
Master Liu held the copper coin in both hands, clasped his hands on his chest, and muttered something in his mouth, as if he was performing some kind of ritual prayer before divination.
After a while, Master Liu opened his eyes.
"Xiao Jia, record this."
The female assistant is very nimble and has paper and pen in hand.
Wow!
Three copper coins were scattered by Master Liu and fell on the table.
The side of the three copper coins facing up is actually filled with flowers.
In hexagrams, the upward facing character represents Yang, and the upward facing flower represents Yin.
If the three flowers point upward, it is Lao Yin, which is actually the Yin Yao.
Replace it with two short dashed lines.
If the three-sided character is facing up, it means Lao Yang, which should be replaced by a long solid line.
The female assistant wrote down the first hexagram shape in her notebook.
Master Liu picked up the three copper coins again and threw them away again.
It turned out to be another three flowers rising, and another old yin.
This happened again and again, and Master Liu actually did it six times in a row. What is even more astonishing is that all six times were in the shape of Lao Yin with three flowers facing upward.
For copper coin divination, the procedure is to scatter coins six times.
The six hexagram shapes are combined from bottom to top to form a hexagram image, corresponding to the sixty-four hexagrams.
In this hexagram divination, every hexagram shape is Lao Yin, so it couldn’t be simpler.
The corresponding one is the Kun hexagram in the sixty-four hexagrams.
There is no final conclusion on the interpretation of the hexagrams, and there is no explanation according to the script. The interpretation must be based on the situation at the time of divination, the things being asked, and the circumstances of the people being asked.
Master Liu did not rush to interpret it, but put away the three copper coins and put them back into the bag.
His virtuous persona seemed to be crumbling at this moment, his expression was indescribably ugly, and there was a hint of panic in his eyes.
He looked left and right, as if something terrible was about to happen at any moment.
Gao Guang muttered in his throat and asked cautiously: "Master, what do you say about the hexagram?"
Jiang Yue had actually seen his grandfather use coins for divination, and he knew something about it. Of course he saw that something was not right about this hexagram.
Especially the situation in front of us, this extremely Yin hexagram, is obviously a sign of great misfortune.
But, is Master Liu's prediction accurate? Is that the case? That has to be said for another time.
Jiang Yue wanted to see how Master Liu would interpret it.
But looking at Master Liu's performance, he seemed to be frightened?
Master Liu spoke with difficulty: "High place, great evil, great evil! This hexagram is a sign of the most evil and evil. In my opinion, there must be something evil in this shopping mall. Could it be that when I destroyed the foundation of the magic circle, I was alarmed? Did he touch the earth's veins and wake up the evil ghost lurking nearby?"
Fierce ghost?
It stands to reason that Master Liu's statement does make some sense.
Looking at him controlling the compass and doing divination, it does look like that. At least, this Master Liu does have a certain foundation and is by no means the kind of novice who doesn't understand anything.
But for some reason, Jiang Yue always had an inexplicable feeling that Master Liu was too good at pretending, and he always felt that this situation was a bit strange.
Jiang Yue couldn't figure out where the blame lay.
"Sir Yan, this place is very dangerous. Liu suggested that we should find a safe place first."
Gao Guangguo said hurriedly: "But we have only been here for a few hours."
The implication is obvious, we all agreed, it’s for the appearance fee.
If you only stay for a few hours, the entrance fee won't be enough.
Master Liu rolled his eyes: "Let's leave the mall and find a quiet corner to stay. Who knows if we are actually in the mall? There is no surveillance here."
"There are many eyes and ears out there, what if we are discovered? Master, can't you cure this evil spirit?"
"There is no way. However, I am only 50% sure, and there is a huge risk. You know, people like me who make tens of millions of dollars in business every minute, sometimes there is no need to take such risks .”
"We can discuss the additional cost of exterminating the ghosts." Gao Guang said hurriedly.
Master Liu did not answer in a hurry, but pinched his fingers as if calculating something.
After a moment, he sighed: "That's all. If this evil ghost remains alive, the market will never be peaceful. If the market cannot be peaceful, our mission will not be completed. If the mission is not completed, we will not get the appearance fee, and you will not get any points. Run. For the benefit of everyone, I will take a risk..."
"However, I will say the ugly things first. There is no splitting of the extra reward for killing ghosts. It must belong to me alone. This is the expense of my life."
Director Gao looked at Jiang Yue hesitantly.
Obviously, when it comes to new expenses, you still have to listen to the leadership.
Jiang Yue was noncommittal, but asked: "Master Liu, how much does it cost to kill additional ghosts?"
"The risk is too great, and the reward is less than 30 million. Let's go out now. It's not an exaggeration to say that this job is a narrow escape from death. To be honest, if I weren't an acquaintance, I would definitely ask for nine figures."
Gao Guang cursed secretly in his heart, this magic stick really has a big appetite. As soon as I opened my mouth, it was 30 million.
You know, his appearance fee of 300,000 yuan per minute, staying there for five or six hours, seems to be hundreds of millions, but there are five people involved in sharing the profits.
Divided equally among five people, each person would get about 20 million.
But suddenly a fierce ghost appeared, and this guy asked for 30 million without any counter-offer.
In this way, Master Liu alone is equivalent to taking away 50 million.
To be honest, Gao Gao didn't want to agree at all.
But in the current situation, if he didn't agree, his previous plan would be completely ruined.
The profit of 20 million is just a waste of joy.
After all, whether you can solve the Yunshan Times Square case, you must at least ensure the safety of this mall.
If it is still haunted, what reason does Master Liu have for taking the appearance fee? Even if he takes it away, if he is investigated later, he will be the first one to sit on the wax.
Therefore, this evil spirit must be destroyed.
Thirty million, no matter how reluctant you are to give it, you have to give it!
Fortunately, this is public money.
The Supernatural Operations Bureau has great authority and abundant resources, so naturally it will not be short of money.
Jiang Yue remained calm and observed secretly. He finally understood.
Master Liu's appearance fee is not exclusive to him alone. Both Chief Yan and Director Gao were involved in dividing the spoils.
This can now be confirmed.
Master Liu made it clear when he said, "The mission has not been completed, the appearance fee will not be obtained, and you will not receive any profit."
Sure enough, these bastards looked sanctimonious, but behind their backs were rice bugs.
Jiang Yue now even begins to wonder whether the so-called ancient magic circle exists?
Perhaps, the so-called ancient magic circle is just a set of lies they made up from beginning to end, just to extract the entrance fee!
Once the door of doubt is pushed open, this idea becomes more and more irresistible.
If it was really an ancient magic circle, the people who were in the mall at that time were instantly moved away. How could my sister have time to take off her watch and put it in a pot of green plants?
Why is the interview mirror missing? Why do all computer monitoring disappear? Why do the clothes on the hangers have suspected blood stains?
The so-called ancient magic circle simply cannot withstand scrutiny!
"Sir Yan, do you think we can accept Master Liu's request?" Director Gao asked cautiously.
"Xiao Gao, you are in charge of this operation, you can make the decision."
Director Gao secretly cursed, "Why should I make a decision?" I have really made a decision, but you will say later that I do not respect my superiors and have no leadership in my eyes.
He was scolding happily in his heart, but he was very honest with his mouth: "How about agreeing to him first? Otherwise, the previous plan will be in vain..."
plan?
Is it a plan to arbitrage money?
Jiang Yue didn't expose it and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.
After getting the leader's approval, Director Gao was obviously excited.
"Master Liu, we can agree to the price of 30 million. However, you must ensure that you can kill the evil ghost and ensure that nothing more happens in Yunshan Times Square."
"That's natural. Once the evil ghosts are exterminated, I will work harder and perform a ritual on the spot to completely dissolve the Yin Qi here. There should be no more filthy things targeting this place. But the ugly words are ahead, and now it's weird The era has begun, and if something goes wrong again after a certain period of time, I cannot guarantee it."
"How long is a certain amount of time?"
"Three to five months," Master Liu said, "Of course, it could be shorter."
"As long as a month passes, if there is any problem, there can be a new explanation." Director Gao smiled flatteringly at Jiang Yue, "Sir Yan, don't you think so?"
Seeing this shameless face, Jiang Yue felt indescribably disgusted.
"Xiao Gao, please come in and I'll have a few words with you alone."
Jiang Yue had already made a decision in his heart.
It's better to take risks and test it out, and try to use your words. If this stalemate continues, the deadlock will never be broken.
Every second of delay puts your loved ones in more danger.
After entering the private room of the coffee shop, Jiang Yue closed the door.
He had already prepared his words.
"Xiao Gao."
"Sir Yan, do you have any questions?"
"I'm always a little worried. Is there really no loopholes in our plan?"
"You can rest assured about this. We have deduced it several times, and there will definitely be no loopholes. The ancient magic circle sounds a bit exaggerated, but now that we have entered a strange era, we only need to convince the superiors. As for external public opinion, We don’t need to explain. Besides, with a file, who can pursue it? Those family members? They are just ordinary people, they don’t have such a lot of energy."
The more Jiang Yue listened, the more frightened he became. These bastards really eat people's food but don't shit them.
What this bastard said has made it very obvious that they are just trying to get the appearance fee, and the ancient magic circle does not exist at all.
Where did the hundreds of missing people go?
Where are my sister and my sister-in-law's family?
What happened in this mall? Is it an evil spirit or something else?
Jiang Yue even had an unacceptable thought in his mind.
Perhaps, from beginning to end, this group of people was directing and acting on this plan!
This is hundreds of lives!
They direct and act on their own, what are they trying to do?
If the appearance fee of over 100 million yuan is only divided into 20 million yuan each of them, the risk is too great.
The cost of doing evil is too high, and the rewards seem too low.
After all, given their status, although 20 to 30 million is a huge amount, they would never make such a big noise and commit such a big crime to defraud the money.
Jiang Yue had countless question marks in his mind.
This matter seems to be weird no matter how it is deduced, and it is a bit unreasonable.
If they direct and act themselves to cheat out of appearance fees, the ratio of effort and gain is obviously asymmetrical.
If they didn't direct and act by themselves, Jiang Yue didn't think it sounded like it when he heard the tone of the director.
After all, they are obviously confident about solving the Yunshan Times Square crisis. That's why I dare to use the exaggerated statement of ancient magic circle.
Obviously, if they dare to say this, they can definitely ensure that nothing happens again in Yunshan Times Square.
How could they be so sure if they didn't know the inside story of this case?
How could he have the leisure time to sit in a coffee shop? How could you have such courage?
Therefore, Jiang Yue can basically conclude that they are most likely to know the inside story of these hundreds of missing people.
However, as things developed just now, it seemed that they were a little out of their control.
There seems to be something evil indeed appearing in the shopping mall!
As for Xiao Jiang's death, another of Director Gao's subordinates also died.
This is definitely not fake.
Jiang Yue estimated that the deaths of these two people were an accident, an additional factor that was beyond their control.
To be honest, if Jiang Yue's relatives are not involved in how these people swindle public funds and engage in small tricks, he really has no interest in intervening.
Relatives, to most people, are inseparable and should never be touched.
Jiang Yue is no exception.
Seeing him silent, Director Gao thought that the leader still had unresolved knots in his heart. Somewhat strange. What happened to Commander Yan today?
I usually eat and drink cards, and my style is very aggressive. I don't see you looking forward or backward.
"Sir Yan, what else are you worried about?"
Although Director Gao had all kinds of thoughts in his heart, he had to be respectful on his face.
After all, whether it is appearance fees or other remunerations, they all need to be signed by Chief Yan.
If Chief Yan doesn't sign, he won't get a penny.
Jiang Yue sighed: "After all, there are hundreds of lives!"
hypocritical! Director Gao felt disgusted.
But he said: "Chief Yan has a kind heart, which is well known to everyone in our bureau. However, after all, we are not the master of this matter. No matter how big the evil is, it is also those people's business. We have nothing but Cooperate, there is no other choice.”
those people?
Jiang Yue was shocked.
Could it be that more people are involved in this matter? Not just Chief Yan, Director Gao and other people from the Supernatural Action Bureau?
Who are those people?
Could it be that those hundreds of people were really not evil? But man-made?
Jiang Yue's chest stirred up huge waves.
Ever since entering this mall, Jiang Yue has always felt weird.
This kind of weirdness is different from previous weird incidents.
The strange thing is that he didn't find any trace of evil spirits in the mall.
Jiang Yue found no evidence to prove the so-called ancient magic circle and the so-called ten death places.
Therefore, Jiang Yue didn't believe in the Ten Ultimate Death Lands from the beginning.
The real place of death, with Jiang Yue's current strength, would not be able to feel any gloomy and deathly aura.
Coupled with the details of the women's clothing store, Jiang Yue became more suspicious that this was probably not the work of ghosts.
Jiang Yue has dealt with ghosts many times. Ghosts often appear and disappear without giving humans much time to react.
It was even more impossible to leave enough time for sister Jiang Ying to take off her watch and leave clues.
And the missing fitting mirror was most likely broken after a conflict and was manually cleaned up.
Including surveillance videos being deleted and fingerprints being wiped.
All evidence points to human factors rather than ghosts.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue really shuddered.
Inexplicably, he remembered what Luo Chu had said in the Jiang family ancestral hall last night.
The evil spirits of monsters are certainly terrifying, but the human heart is equally terrifying.
Unexpectedly, Luo Chu's unbiased words at that time were confirmed so quickly.
The human heart is actually more terrifying than ghosts!
When ghosts act as monsters, at least there are traces to follow.
Evil people do evil with no bottom line and make people confused.
If Jiang Yue hadn't possessed the replicator skill, if Jiang Yue hadn't transformed into Commander Yan and said these words, Jiang Yue would never have imagined that this matter would be so involved even if he broke his head.
In addition to the Bureau of Supernatural Operations, are there other forces involved?
What is the situation with this force?
Even the top brass of Star City's Supernatural Operations Bureau can be bribed, and judging by this tone, it seems that Chief Yan's status is not enough to influence those people. On the contrary, in front of those people, there is no choice?
How terrifying is this?
Thinking of this, Jiang Yue became extremely anxious.
The monster was evil, but he didn't worry too much.
As members of the Lao Jiang family, my sister and sister-in-law can still handle it.
But if bad people are causing trouble, my sister and sister-in-law...
Jiang Yue didn't dare to think about it further.
Director Gao looked at Jiang Yue with a trace of confusion on his face, seeming to be thinking about something. He was indeed a little suspicious. Chief Yan's behavior today was really abnormal.
This doesn't look like normal behavior at all.
Hundreds of lives?
How could Chief Yan care about the life and death of ants? Commander Yan has reached this point, which step does not cost a few lives?
Just when Director Gao was suspicious, Jiang Yue suddenly patted Director Gao on the shoulder.
"Xiao Gao, this Master Liu is also one of theirs, right?"
Director Gao was stunned, don't you know this? Could it be that……
Director Gao's eyes flashed with abnormality before he had the next thought. He suddenly felt a tightness in his neck.
It was as if a large pair of pliers suddenly clamped around his neck.
The next second, his entire body was suspended in the air.
"Don't struggle." Jiang Yue warned coldly, "If you don't want your neck to be pinched, you'd better cooperate honestly."
Ho ho ho!
Director Gao grabbed Jiang Yue's hand with both hands and tried to pry it open.
Obviously, this is in vain.
After the strengthening from the intelligence and the unlocking of the power from the family, Jiang Yue's current strength has reached a very terrifying level.
Squeezing Director Gao to death would definitely not be much harder than squeezing a fly to death.
