Merchant of the Underworld

A breeze blew by, and a strong fishy smell made me cover my nose.

I suddenly discovered what was wrong with Sister Guan - it was the smell!

In the antique shop before, Sister Guan smelled of Sichuan hot pot, but now she smelled strongly of fish, as if she had just killed a bunch of fish.

Sister Guan seemed to be very scared and anxious, and she kept dragging me to her house.

As soon as I entered Sister Guan's house, I couldn't help but take a few steps back. The fishy smell was extremely unpleasant. It seems that this is not a warm home, but a live fish slaughterhouse, filled with fishy smell and stench.

Sister Guan saw my expression and kept saying sorry to me.

"Sister Guan, where is your husband?" I couldn't help but look at the luxurious decorations in the house. I could see that Sister Guan was very attentive.

Sister Guan pointed to the kitchen. She was about to lead me the way, but she retracted her feet out of fear.

I know Sister Guan must be scared!

I comforted Sister Guan for a few words, and then walked to the kitchen alone.

Only the sound of crunching and chewing was heard from the kitchen, mixed with a deep roar. I used my spiritual sense to detect the presence of Yin Qi in the kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen and took a look. The scene inside made me gasp and tremble involuntarily.

I saw a man squatting in the corner of the kitchen, holding a lively crucian carp in his hand. The back of the crucian carp had been bitten with teeth marks, and blood was flowing. The fish seemed like it couldn't bear the flesh being chewed alive. It was as painful as tearing it off, and the tail kept flicking.

The man turned around suddenly, his face was indigo, and his blood-red eyes were staring at me!

What's even more horrifying is that the corners of his mouth are still bleeding, and there are some transparent fish scales stuffed between the exposed teeth.

Needless to say, this man must be Sister Guan's husband.

The man seemed unhappy when I barged in. He dropped the fish, got down on all fours on the ground, and jumped onto the stove with one nimbly leap like a cat.

Ho ho!

He opened his mouth at me and made a sound that seemed to be squeezed out from the depths of his throat. Drool mixed with blood continued to flow from the corners of his mouth.

I quickly took out a handful of cinnabar and sprinkled it over.

As soon as the cinnabar touched the man's body, his body immediately shook a few times, then he rolled his eyes and fell off the stove.

Sister Guan heard the noise in the kitchen and ran in. As soon as she saw her husband falling to the ground. In a panic, she rushed forward and hugged her husband, sobbing loudly.

"You damn ghost, you just went like this and asked me to do it as a woman!" Sister Guan beat her chest and stamped her feet.

Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but want to laugh, but I was afraid of making Sister Guan angry, so I suppressed my smile and patted her shoulder and said: "Sister Guan, calm down, your husband is fine."

Sister Guan raised her tear-stained face and asked, "Boss Zhang, is my husband really okay?"

I nodded and pointed at the man lying on the ground.

Sister Guan followed my finger and found that her husband was breathing heavily.

When Sister Guan saw that her husband was okay, she hugged him again and cried for a while, but this time she cried with joy: "Damn you, you scared me to death."

I helped Sister Guan help her husband to the bed. After her husband calmed down, I asked in detail what happened recently.

Her husband told me that his surname is Deng, and he has loved tinkering with food since he was a child. Later, he and his wife opened a hotpot restaurant...

Sister Guan told me all these situations. I interrupted Brother Deng and asked him to focus on the sashimi.

Brother Deng frowned and said that he didn't know why. He had recently become obsessed with eating sashimi. He thought it was the best delicacy in the world, and it was best to have blood. Sometimes when he sees a live fish, he wants to pounce on it and take a bite, and he can even lose control of his appetite.

I asked Brother Deng if anything unusual happened during this period. For example, I went to an unclean place or collected some strange antiques.

Brother Deng thought about it carefully and shook his head very firmly. He said that besides hot pot city, he is home, two points and one line, and he has never been anywhere else.

This is strange. Just now I clearly felt a strong Yin energy, but I couldn't find the Yin spirit. What on earth is going on?

Sister Guan suddenly clapped her hands and shouted: "I remember, I used to have a big snow-white cat at home. A few days ago, the cat suddenly ran away. After calculation, the time when the cat ran away happened to be when my husband started When you desperately eat sashimi, will the cat demon get you?"

Sister Guan's words are a bit unbelievable, but they are not completely unreasonable.

After certain animals become demons, they will possess humans, and the possessed person will also retain the habits of the demon. For example, there are rumors in many places that someone's temperament has changed drastically and he likes to eat some strange things. It is probably because he is possessed by a demon.

Brother Deng loves to eat fish so much, and it’s also sashimi. Isn’t this just like a cat? Moreover, when the cinnabar hit Brother Deng just now, he also acted like a cat.

I think Sister Guan is right, it must be the cat demon causing trouble!

It's easy to handle once it's confirmed that it's a cat demon. I asked Sister Guan to find a big pure white dog.

Sister Guan went out immediately and came back two or three hours later. When she came back, she was holding a white Chinese pastoral dog. The coat color was not so pure, but it was okay, barely enough.

I led the dog to Brother Deng's bedside, and the dog immediately started barking. After all, animals are many times more sensitive to Yin energy than humans.

After a while, something seemed to appear in Brother Deng's body. His stomach suddenly bulged, but it quickly subsided. His whole body was twisted in pain, and he was rolling around on the bed.

Uh-huh!

Brother Deng held his throat, his face deformed in pain: "It feels so uncomfortable!"

When I saw that it was working, I quickly comforted Brother Deng: "Brother Deng, if you keep at it, the possessed cat demon will come out soon."

It seemed that Sister Guan couldn't bear to see her husband in pain. She wiped her tears sadly and turned her head to one side.

Suddenly, Brother Deng seemed to be grabbed by a transparent hand, and his body was thrown into the air, as if special effects had been added, his limbs and spine were straight!

There was a 'bang' sound, and a few seconds later Brother Deng's body fell down and fell heavily on the bed.

Sister Guan turned her head eagerly and ran to the bed: "Boss Zhang, is my husband okay?"
