Seeing Bi Peter shaking his head, the next moment, He Fei said to him with a serious face: "Although we are indeed tourists and came to Hong Kong to travel, we also have another identity, as a group of exorcists from the mainland! "
"Exorcist?"
Upon hearing this, Bi Peter was stunned, along with the executioners around him.
Ignoring the reactions of others, He Fei nodded. He kept talking and explained with a more serious expression and tone: "The so-called 'exorcist' can be easily explained from the literal meaning. It is similar to a Taoist priest. The only difference is that It’s just that we don’t wear Taoist robes and don’t worship the Three Pure Ones, but one thing is the same, that is, we all know how to ward off evil spirits.”
"Mr. Peter, from the conversation just now, I found that you firmly believe in the theory of the God of Lobster. And since you believe that there are locusts in the world, it is natural that there are exorcists who oppose the locusts. Indeed, we come to Hong Kong this time We were originally here for tourism, but we just happened to come to your hotel. In fact, from the first time we entered the Tsim Sha Tsui hotel, we noticed that your hotel was quite sinister. Later, we learned the whole story of the incident from the receptionist A Bin, and knew about the hotel. There's something about the locust, so after discussion, we finally decided to stay in a hotel and help you deal with the locust monster."
He Fei spoke in a very solemn tone from beginning to end, but precisely because the young man's tone was too solemn and serious, Bi Peter's expression was dull and his face kept changing until He Fei finished explaining. , until the atmosphere gradually became heavier, he suddenly came to his senses, and after swallowing his saliva, Bi Peter raised his head as if he had thought of something and asked in a doubtful tone: "Exorcists? If you are really exorcists, will you help me drive away the locusts for free?"
(There is drama!)
After listening to the inquiry, and the man's face turning pale, He Fei felt reassured. It was obvious that, leaving aside other things for the time being, he could tell from the man's reaction that the other party was vaguely convinced even if he didn't fully believe it at the moment. It’s actually quite understandable. Since Peter Bieder originally believed that there are beetles in the world, it is natural for such people to have exorcists who oppose the beetles. Therefore, he confirmed that his remarks were criticized by the other party. Accepting, He Fei replied with a solemn expression: "First of all, the responsibility of an exorcist is to expel the monsters in the world and restore peace to the world. This is the mission of the exorcist. As for the fees, we have never forced it. If you don't pay afterward, we will not I don’t mind, of course, after all, exorcists also need to eat, so we’d be grateful if you could pay some money.”
As mentioned above, He Fei is very good at understanding human psychology. If you don't ask for money at all, the other party may think you have other intentions. But once you ask for money, the other party will feel more at ease. If you say this, it is indeed the case. Sure enough, after listening to the young man's answer, Bi Peter, who had been dubious just now, was completely convinced this time. He also subconsciously believed that these people might really have the ability to ward off evil spirits. The reason was very simple. After all, the other party was from the mainland. Unexpectedly, When he learned that there was a queen in the hotel who specialized in killing mainlanders, he still didn't leave or escape. Unless this group of people were all lunatics, then Shibajiu was exactly what the other party said. They were exorcists, a group of people who knew how to exorcise evil spirits. A psychic who can ward off evil spirits!
Of course, the reason why Bi Peter quickly believed that although the above accounted for a certain proportion, strictly speaking, what really played a key role was the last paragraph of He Fei:
"Mr. Peter, now you and I both know that there is a locust hiding in the hotel, and the locust specializes in killing mainlanders. But you are very capable of dealing with it and have formulated a rule prohibiting mainlanders from staying. But... even if the hotel doesn't Allowing mainlanders to stay can prevent the accident from happening again, but it still cannot avoid losses for you. Doesn't the hotel intend to make money from mainlanders in this life? If this is the case, the losses will be huge."
For a businessman who is obsessed with money, what is the most fatal blow? There is no doubt that cutting off one's financial resources is the most fatal, and reducing one's income is the most fatal.
As expected, after hearing this, the man in the suit twitched his mouth slightly and touched his chin. He Fei continued: "What's more, paper can't cover up the fire. What will happen to your business if word spreads about the trouble in the hotel?" Can we do it? Can the hotel continue to open? What will happen if a few more people die? "
"If you still don't believe us, then let's leave the hotel."
After saying that, He Fei really stood up and wanted to leave.
"No! Don't! Mr. He, please wait! Wait!"
Sure enough, when he saw the young man standing up to leave, Bi Peter was shocked. He quickly stretched out his hand to stop He Fei, and then said to the young man and all the executors in an unprecedented respectful tone: "Mr. He, and everyone, I believe it, I believe it! I believe it! I believe that you are exorcists, otherwise you would not be so calm even knowing that there is a locust in the hotel, so I will leave this locust in the hotel to you! I will thank you greatly afterwards!"
(Damn it! This deception, this deception is really...)
No one expected that things would turn out like this, and no one expected that the ending would be so smooth. At this moment, listening to the man's plea, and seeing Bi Peter looking at He Fei as if he were a savior, except Peng, who had been prepared in his heart. Except for Hu, Cheng Ying, and Zhao Ping, the rest of the executors were all secretly shocked. They never expected that their captain, in addition to being extremely intelligent, was actually an eloquent liar! Not only does he tell lies with open eyes, but he also talks nonsense seriously, and with just a few words, he can make the other party believe it!
While being surprised, a young Taoist priest couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
(Tsk tsk, you really can’t underestimate any senior person. Let’s not talk about Peng Hu who fights fiercely, Cheng Ying who is cold and cruel, Zhao Ping who is ruthless and very good at lying. Even this seemingly ordinary person The captains all have two tricks, and their ability to deceive is so powerful... Tsk, that's amazing, not all of them are easy.)
Back to the topic, in the guest room, at this moment, after confirming that Bi Peter had completely believed the identity of the exorcist that he had made up, He Fei nodded. The real reason why he fabricated the identity of the exorcist for himself was not difficult. Understand, through previous analysis, He Fei believes that the hotel owner named Bi Peter in front of him is very likely to be one of the key figures in solving the supernatural incident on Yin Yang Road. Since he is a key figure, the executor must gain the trust of the other party, otherwise he will be trusted later. The topic cannot be expanded, and it is even more difficult to obtain clues. Only by making the other party believe in yourself can you provide beneficial help in obtaining the next clues. In general, He Fei's ultimate goal is very simple, that is, to solve the supernatural incident as quickly as possible. ! Even though the mission was 10 days long, He Fei was still unwilling to delay it too long due to the long-standing sense of crisis.
(Very good, the first step of the plan has been successfully completed, and Peter Bi has been basically trusted, so next...)
Thinking of this, he ignored the surprised looks of others and the strange atmosphere around him. He Fei coughed twice, and then said to Bi Peter who was pleading across the way: "Mr. Peter, if you really want us to help you solve this matter, Then I hope you can tell us the details about that grandma."
Um? Grandma?
Bi Peter was slightly stunned after hearing this, and then he patted his head and asked loudly: "That grandma? Do you mean..."
He Fei replied solemnly: "Yes, it's Qi Longlan!"
………
Seeing He Fei mentioning the murdered grandmother, Bi Peter fell into silence. Seeing him like this, most of the executioners present made some guesses, guessing that there must be a hidden secret, especially He Fei, who further speculated that there might be twists and turns in the matter. It's not as simple as the initial receptionist A Bin said.
The atmosphere in the room was depressing, and time passed slowly.
In silence, He Fei reached into his pocket, took out the cigarette and handed it over.
"Phew, what a smoke!"
There was silence for a long time, until he lit the cigarette and took a deep breath, and instinctively praised him. Then, Bi Peter reacted, exhaling a puff of smoke as if he had made some kind of determination, while scanning the people around him with his eyes, and finally locked his eyes again. Yu Luo said to He Fei: "I think A Bin has told you about this before. The grandma named Qi Longlan did die in a Tsim Sha Tsui hotel a year ago, and I don't know her personally, and I haven't even known her since. Never met, but..."
After saying this, after a pause, the man changed the topic and continued: "The above information is half true and half false, and it is a lie told in front of the police and even others. Yes, I concealed some things, but the real situation is ...I personally know grandma and have known her for a long time."
Um?
As soon as Bi Peter said this, He Fei was stunned, and everyone present was stunned, but no one interrupted to ask, because everyone knew that the other party must have something more to say.
As for Bi Peter, after finishing speaking, he pondered for a moment, as if he was hesitating about something in his heart. Of course, hesitation is hesitation. Since the words have begun, the following things naturally have to be said, so in the following time, this man The protagonist of the original movie told everyone about an incident, a past, and recounted the past between him and Grandma Qi Longlan.
"My grandma and I met four years ago. To be honest, our acquaintance was very dramatic. Although I don't know whether there is a fixed number for such a thing as luck, I have a deep understanding of how unlucky people will be once they are unlucky. To a certain extent, I remember that I was almost unlucky during that whole year four years ago. It would be hard to overstate it to say that I was unlucky. I didn’t go well in anything I did and failed in everything I did. I lost money betting on horses, lost everything in poker, and even just Even when I peeed, it would splash on my hands. In the end, the hundreds of thousands of stocks I bought plummeted rapidly, causing me to be on the verge of bankruptcy. So during that period of time, I drank alcohol all day long. I drank so drunk every day that I was almost decadent."
"In order to cheer me up, one of my good buddies, Chen Zai, suggested that we go on a trip together to relax. I agreed. A few days later, Chen Zai, I, his girlfriend Xiao Zhu, and two other buddies traveled together for a total of 5 People take a boat to Zhongdao, which is an uninhabited and deserted island. Logically speaking, this thing is very simple, it is nothing more than a small island tour. However, what people never imagined is... when a group of people After setting foot on that desert island, several unexplained horrific and supernatural events happened one after another. Chenzi died, his girlfriend died, and the other two buddies also died. They all died inexplicably. It was so weird and bizarre that in the end I was the only one left alive to escape from the desert island, even so I was seriously injured."
Listening to Bi Peter's narration, He Feibeng and several senior people on both sides looked at each other a few times. As expected, everyone also saw surprise and shock in each other's eyes. The reason? The reason is simple, because...
It's a bit familiar, or from Peter's narration just now, the desert island incident he mentioned is very similar to a story in the Yin Yang Road original movie!
As for Peter Bi, the man's narrative continues.
"Due to physical injuries, when I escaped from the desert island by boat and returned to land, my head became dizzy because of the aggravated injuries. Logically speaking, I should have rushed to the hospital at that time, but unfortunately I couldn't. The reason was that the landing location was still there. It was a wilderness, with neither cars nor people around. There was only a weedy wasteland as far as the eye could see. There were also a few deserted tombstones scattered in the wasteland. In desperation, I lost my phone and had no choice but to grit my teeth and walk to the city. However, after walking a few steps in the direction of the district, I discovered people. While walking, I noticed an old woman burning paper squatting in front of one of the tombs. An old woman with gray hair and simple clothes. The old woman always turned her back to I squatted in front of the grave and burned paper silently. When I saw this, I walked over curiously, but unexpectedly tripped over a stone under my feet. As I said before, I was a little dizzy at the time, so I lost consciousness after falling to the ground. I completely fainted, and at the last moment of my coma I accidentally looked at the tombstone and saw a photo of the deceased on the tombstone.”
“I don’t know how long it took, but when I woke up, I found myself lying on a bed in a dark tile-roofed room. There was an empty bowl on the bedside cabinet, and the whole room also exuded a strong smell of herbal medicine. The smell, it is undeniable that I was a little confused at that time, but I still knew that it was the owner of the house who saved me. Not long after, with a series of footsteps approaching from far away, someone walked into the outhouse, until that person completely came to the bed. , I discovered that the other person was the old lady who burned paper before. Although I only saw her back and not her face, I was still sure that the person coming was that old lady through her outfit and back view, but..."
"It was precisely because I determined the identity of the other party that when I saw grandma's face clearly for the first time, I was almost frightened to death."
"The photo of the tombstone I saw when I fainted was the portrait of the deceased...it was exactly the same as the grandma in front of me!"
"After some exchanges, I suddenly realized that I had made a big mistake. It turned out that this grandma was not the other grandma. The grandma and the deceased on the tombstone were not the same person. The grandma's name was Qi Longlan, and the one in the photo on the tombstone was her twin sister. Qi Longxin, when she burned paper in front of the grave, it was for her sister."
"Let's get back to the topic. Even though I was embarrassed, I didn't forget to thank my grandma immediately for rescuing me. However, before I could speak, my grandma, who had been observing me during this period, said it before me. In one sentence, just say something that makes my skin crawl."
"Young man, you are not far from death."
"Grandma actually said that I was not far away from death? With fear, confusion, and surprise, I hurriedly asked again and again. It is undeniable that grandma was unwilling to answer at first, but after I nearly collapsed and cried out again and again, Sighing, perhaps feeling pity, grandma finally explained everything, saying that from the first moment she saw me, she knew that I was entangled with a debt collector, and that it had been green for a long time. Judging from the look on my face, that thing must have been pestering me for a long time. The debt collector has no ability to directly kill people, but it can gradually weaken the luck of a living person over time, leading to bad luck and bad luck in everything, until there is nothing, until the family is destroyed. And when my family is completely ruined and I have nothing, that will be the day when my luck disappears and I die miserably.”
"I admit that although this grandma named Qi Longlan looks gloomy and taciturn, she is actually a good person and a kind-hearted grandma. Qi Longlan has never been married in her life and has been living near this deserted suburb for so many years. I am here My grandma spent a week recovering from my injury. In the end, not only was my injury healed, but before I left, my grandma also performed a very strange exorcism ritual for me. It’s really strange to say that after the ritual, my luck was no longer what it was before. The decline is bad, although I can't say that I am lucky, but at least everything I lost in the past is back. I am no longer unlucky, no longer guilty, everything is back to normal. I have got rid of the bad luck, completely got rid of the bad luck. During that time, I It can be said that I am extremely happy.”
"Later on, I became friends with my grandma. Whenever I had free time, I would drive to my grandma's house to sit there. However, she never asked for a penny from me or any gifts. I even hoped that she could move to the city. I declined all the invitations. In short, my grandma’s temper was a bit weird, until one day last year, I received a phone call from my grandma.”
“On the phone, my grandma said that she had something to do in the city and asked me if I could help her find a place to live. As you can imagine, when I saw that grandma had something to do, I immediately drove her to my home without saying a word. The Tsim Sha Tsui hotel I ran immediately arranged a comfortable room for my grandma to stay in. Nothing happened during the period. The only thing that puzzled me was something grandma carried with her, a square bag wrapped in linen. Of course , because I knew my grandma’s temper well, so although I cared about it, I suppressed my curiosity and didn’t ask. Who would have thought... this meeting would be the last time I met my grandma!”
Having said this, Bi Peter paused for a moment, and then his mood became depressed, with a look of sadness on his face. He sighed and continued: "I never expected that grandma would be killed on the third day after she checked into the hotel. , was killed in the room. According to police investigation, grandma was murdered by a mainlander for money. After the robber killed the person, he fled to the mainland and has not been heard from since."
"After I finished my grandma's funeral, it was quiet for a while. Then, not long after, people started to die frequently in my hotel, and mainland guests committed suicide frequently. As for what happened next, you all know."
"I regret it. I really regret it. I really shouldn't have brought my grandma to my hotel, otherwise she wouldn't have... ugh!"
The above is the whole story, the regret and self-blame of the man in front of him for concealing the past. After the narration, Peter Bi took a deep breath, as if telling the secret that he had concealed for many years made him feel relieved.
As for He Fei, as for all the executors present...
After hearing Peter's past experience, everyone in the room showed an expression of incredible surprise.
Ignoring others, at least He Fei immediately understood after listening to the other party's narration. He instantly obtained four pieces of information from Bi Peter's narration, four pieces of extremely valuable and important information!
First, he didn't expect that the grandmother named Qi Longlan was actually a goddess during her lifetime! The so-called goddess, in layman's terms, refers to someone who knows the art of exorcising evil spirits and avoiding insects. Although her specific ability is not known, at least it is known that grandma has extraordinary abilities. She is a goddess who can channel spirits and ask questions. This is also a point that everyone knows. The main reason why everyone showed shocked expressions after listening to Peter's narration.
The second, and most important, point is that just as Peter described it, He Fei learned that although grandma felt gloomy, she was actually kind. Even so, questions also arise. Since grandma was a famous psychic during her lifetime, The Goddess of Mi Zhi Shu was a kind-hearted person, but why did her temperament change drastically after her death and she started killing living people? To take a step back, even if Grandma’s ghost has been staying in the hotel and killing mainlanders for revenge, strictly speaking, it is still not in line with Grandma’s nature. According to folk supernatural legends, although it is undeniable that the soul of a person who died in vain has a high chance of turning into a person who only understands after death. Killing the emotionless and unconscious Li Qi, but this is only for ordinary people! What if the deceased was a person who had psychic abilities during his lifetime? In most cases, even if such a person dies in vain, his soul will most likely retain consciousness after death. This is what He Fei doesn't understand the most right now!
Yes, grandma was kind and not greedy for wealth during her lifetime. She was even willing to try her best to save a stranger. It is conceivable that a kind and psychic person like this would turn into a wolf to seek revenge after death. You must only seek revenge on the murderer, rather than killing innocent people indiscriminately.
This is true, but what about the facts?
The reality is unexpected and even completely opposite.
After her death, Grandma not only turned into a wolf, she also turned into a ferocious and terrifying Li wolf!
Li Qi started killing people and killing innocent people indiscriminately. He quickly killed all the mainland guests staying in the hotel.
The third point...
Qi Longxin, grandma's sister who has been dead for many years, is twins with grandma and looks very similar to her.
As for the last point, it comes from the baggage mentioned at the end of Peter's narrative, a square package wrapped in linen.
After thinking over and over again and analyzing one by one, He Fei still couldn't fully explain why his grandmother killed innocent people after her death. However, when he analyzed his grandmother's dead sister and the package together, he somehow came up with an idea and a guess. , an astonishing guess that could make He Fei's hair stand on end suddenly appeared in his mind.
The guess is...
This cruel Li Qi who hides in a hotel and keeps killing innocent people indiscriminately may...not be Qi Longlan! ! !
