Chapter 110 Mission(1/2)
In the dark corridor, the vermilion lacquer has turned reddish-brown, mottled and withered, and the exposed wood has been eroded and decayed by wind and rain. The corridor leads to the inner courtyard, and there are yellow leaves and dead trees along the way, and some paper money is scattered on the ground, with new and old, and the year and month of memorial service cannot be seen.
The four of them walked in the corridor with the money counting ghost, adhering to the principle of saying less and making mistakes less, they were all quiet, waiting for the money counting ghost to speak first. As a result, the money counting ghost was even more silent than them. Helplessly, Xu Wang could only ask: "Brother Ghost, where are you going to take us?"
The money counting ghost glanced at him and finally said, "Don't you want to live here? I tell you that if we don't raise idle ghosts here, if we want to live here, we have to work hard."
"Exercise?" The four partners' eyes lit up and the mission was coming.
"Well," the ghost of counting money continued to move forward, but didn't see the four pairs of bright eyes behind him. "The West Courtyard is now using ghosts. The boss is worried that he can't find a new ghost recently, so you came to the door. If it weren't for this coincidence, I wouldn't have interrogated you."
"Western Courtyard?" Xu Wang came last time and had never heard of this word.
"What are so many questions?" The money counting ghost was impatient. "Anyway, I will take you to see the boss now. The boss will agree to accept you. You will have a place to settle down, do you understand?"
The four partners looked at each other and saw the boss?
The last time I came in, a ghost was looking for something, but the team that came in at the same time was faster and grabbed the task, so they found the next ghost and took over the task of "The moon rises to the willows, and the ghost makes a appointment after dusk". But whether it is "finding" or "love", they are directly given to the task by NPC, and the task target is very clear.
But now they have been following this npc for a long time and have not updated the task.
It can be seen that "meeting the boss" is not the content of the task.
"That, brother ghost," Xu Wang took two steps quickly, leaned over and asked with a smile, "You didn't lose anything you need to find? Or do you want us to help you reunite if you are not in a relationship?"
The money counting ghost turned slowly, looking at him with no desire: "Do you think a female ghost like me like this?"
Xu Wang: “…”
The deep sadness of this question makes the male ghost silent and the female ghost cry.
The air suddenly became quiet, leaving only the sound of the wind passing through the corridor.
Xu Wangsi thought of something and directly changed the topic: "Brother Gui, do we have a bridge here?"
"Bridge?" The money ghost looked at him for no reason.
Xu Wanggang wanted to explain further, such as the small bridge and flowing water in the back garden, as long as it is a bridge, but Wu Sheng suddenly reached out and pulled him back to his side and firmly wrapped his shoulders.
"It's okay, Brother Gui, he just has nothing to say, you don't have to pay attention to him." Wu Sheng smiled embarrassedly at the counting of money.
The money counting ghost now has a very good impression of this mountain ghost. He nodded and continued to move forward without doubt.
Xu Wang gave Wu Sheng annoyedly with his elbow. It was not heavy, but the meaning was obvious - who had nothing to say?
Wu Sheng's expression did not move, and he only handed his arm in front of him, stayed for two seconds, and quickly took it back.
However, it was enough for Xu Wang to see clearly. In the badge manual that his military advisor clicked, the badge prompt on 5/23 was: Love bed ghost.
Xu Wang was stunned. It was just a "ghost bridge"!
To be precise, since ten days ago, the prompt for "Ghost in the Wall" was changed to "Ghost Bridge", and the badge prompt for 5/23 has not been moved again. Today, he entered the level and confirmed it again. Who would have thought that a team had found the badge in just over ten minutes?!
No matter how efficient a team is, it is impossible to be so fast. The only explanation is that a team hits the fortune and encounters a flash as soon as they enter the house. Maybe when they get the badge, they will be blinded.
But no matter what, I was negligent.
A hint of annoyance flashed through his heart, and the hand that was placed on his shoulder was pulled hard again, and then Wu Sheng sighed softly.
Xu Wang heard five words from that sigh--I can't do it without me.
After a blank look, Xu Wang curled his lips reluctantly - OK, it was me who was careless.
Wu Sheng smiled, and the corner of his mouth was a satisfactory curve.
Xu Wang narrowed his eyes and looked at him - can he take his hand off?
Wu Sheng raised his eyebrows in confusion - huh?
Xu Wang: “…”
I can communicate with my eyes all the previous eight hundred sentences, so I can’t understand this sentence?!
At some point, Qian Ai and Kuang Jinxin had already fallen behind the captain and military advisor, and saw the badge manual displayed by the military advisor, knew the fact that the prompt had been changed, and watched the whole process of "flirting with eyebrows and eyes".
Kuang Jinxin was so funny that he watched it.
Qian Ai was indignant when he saw it - this was a crazy love affair with public funds!
After passing through the corridor, and then through two small yards, four people and one ghost, they finally came to a conference hall. The ghost counted the money and asked them to wait outside the door. They went in first. After a few minutes, they came back and said that the boss agreed to them.
The four of them followed the ghost counting money and finally entered the conference hall.
The conference hall is not big, and there are a row of ghosts sitting on both sides. They are all in the tragic situation before death. Some eyes cannot fall off, and some jaws are pulled open and cannot be closed. But just like this, those who should drink tea and those who should smoke smoke, each look quite stylish, all like the elder brother.
But the real big brother is naturally sitting at the forefront, in the main seat.
He was a thin middle-aged man with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He should have had a very festive and kind appearance during his lifetime, but now, his face is as blue as a dead person, and a bullet hole in the middle of his eyebrows directly penetrates his head. From the front, he can directly see the wall behind him through the bullet hole.
As soon as the four of them came in, all their eyes focused on them.
The originally noisy conference hall suddenly became silent. After being stared at by so many ghosts, the nerves of the four little friends suddenly tense up.
The ghost counted money said respectfully: "Boss, they are the four new ghosts. One of the remaining heads is the flying head ghost, one of the more broken hands is the broken hands ghost, the one with shadow is the spirit behind the back, and the heroic one is the mountain ghost."
Xu Wang, Qian Ai, Kuang Jinxin: "..."
Do you need to be so obvious if you prefer emotionally!
The bullet hole ghost tilted his head gently, looked up and down at the four of them, and finally asked the money ghost: "Has I tested it?"
"Don't worry, you've tested it all," said the money counting ghost. "The cause of death is clear, the death is reasonable, and there is no suspicion."
There was no expression on the Bullet Hole's face, and he couldn't tell whether he believed it or not, but after a moment of silence, he still spoke quietly: "I just need a few new faces, small money, you're doing this well."
The ghost who counts money is not often praised. When he hears this, he shrinks his neck and smiles shyly, the picture cannot be more beautiful.
The bullet hole ghost didn't say anything anymore, just looked at him.
The money counting ghost was stunned for a few seconds, suddenly realized it, immediately said that he left, and thoughtfully closed the door of the conference hall from outside.
As the door closed again, the air in the conference hall became solemn and suppressed.
The vigilance in the hearts of the four partners gradually increased, and Wu Junshi had even started to think that if the situation was not good later, would he take the lead in thirty-six strategies or put it to death before he could survive.
A "body" suddenly appeared next to the bullet hole ghost.
To be precise, he was a ghost with only a body but no head. He was covered in blood and was covered in slashes. The incisions of the neck were also uneven, as if he had been using a less-degree weapon. It took a long time to cut his head away.
As soon as the headless ghost appeared, a slightly sharp voice rang out of the entire chamber—
"If you want to live in the West Courtyard, you have to contribute to the West Courtyard. Do you understand?"
Compared to the bullet hole ghost, this headless ghost does not give people a strong sense of oppression. When he appears, the bullet hole ghost leans back and turns his hand to the manager. Obviously, this is a military advisor or think tank.
The four partners can understand that the boss will not explain the task in detail with the soldier in detail, so he naturally needs a spokesperson. But... this person doesn't even have a head, how to convey his voice? This unscientific phenomenon really makes people care about!!!
"Well," forced himself to ignore the channels for speaking out. Xu Wang said, "I understand with all my strength, but I don't understand very much..."
The headless ghost in front spread his hands out, as if he was about to give a lecture, and the sharp sound hanging over the conference hall was explained slowly in accordance with his posture.
The four partners listened to the background of the mission in this strange air-distance combination—
"This old house is divided into the East Courtyard and the West Courtyard. The West Courtyard, which is here, is our territory, and the East Courtyard is the territory of the Heart-Digging Ghost. We have always wanted to move to the East Courtyard, but the Heart-Digging Ghost will not give up any land..."
"Well, can I ask a question?" Xu Wang interrupted with a weak hand.
The headless ghost said: "Tell me."
"Isn't the West Courtyard quite good? It's big and wide, the trees are dead and the wind is gloomy enough," Xu Wang really didn't understand, "Why had to move to the East Courtyard?"
"What do you know?" The headless ghost sneered, "The Feng Shui of the East Courtyard is a hundred times better!"
"No..." Xu Wang's eyes swept over the eyes that fell, his chin was torn, his hands and feet were broken, and finally fell to the front, with bullet holes in the eyebrows and headless ones. He asked sincerely, "We are all like this, are we still so particular about Feng Shui?"
Bullet hole ghost frowned.
The headless ghost immediately scolded the boss: "Since ancient times, ghost energy comes from the east and does not live in the east, how can it control the ghosts in the world!"
I have only heard of Xu Wang, Wu Sheng, Qian Ai, and Kuang Jinxin who returned from the west: "..."
It’s really knowledge everywhere, no distinction between yin and yang.
"Then... how can we do our best?" Xu Wang asked the key points quickly, for fear that he would continue to talk about more knowledge points in the ghost world, but his brain would not keep up.
The sharp voice above his head did not answer, and the headless ghost suddenly walked down.
Seeing this body without a head clatter towards him is not a wonderful experience. The four partners gathered together unconsciously, relying on each other, and absorbing a little bit of human warmth.
The headless ghost stood in front of Xu Wang and said softly: "Extend your hand."
Xu Wang did as he did.
A small paper bag was placed in his palm.
"This is the Soul-Destroying Sphere," said the headless ghost. "Your mission is to sneak into the East Courtyard, find the Ghost Spring, and pour the Soul-Destroying Sphere into the spring."
Xu Wang stared at the small paper bag in his hand: "What? What will happen?"
"Ghost Spring is the source of ghost energy for all ghosts in the East Courtyard. Once the ghost spring is destroyed, the entire ghost in the East Courtyard will be destroyed."
Xu Wang was a little embarrassed: "Be cruel..."
The headless ghost turned around and walked back to the boss.
The bullet hole ghost quietly spoke: "Perform a mission, or I will eat you now."
To be continued...
