The Exorcist

Chapter 17 Contact

Following the procedure Ruan Zhan said, he sat cross-legged on the toilet seat, put the Blood Wood Sword in his hand, took out the brown paper envelope from his arms, took out one of the paper birds and a water observation spell, took a deep breath, He calmed down his mind.

Maybe he was nervous. The paper bird would fall down when he put it on top of his head. It took him a long time to get it to stay firmly on top of his head. This made him breathe a sigh of relief. It was just a piece of paper, but it made him feel nervous. It felt like it weighed as much as a thousand pounds, my neck felt stiff all the time, and I was sweating.

"It's not my fault, I'm not used to the magic stick's techniques." He muttered to comfort himself, and lit the charm with a lighter. He thought it would burn normally, but he never expected that the piece of paper flew out of his hand with a sound as soon as it caught fire, and stayed in mid-air and burned for several seconds, completely beyond normal physical phenomena. And because the incident happened suddenly, he almost fell off the toilet.

He had been worried that the paper bird that was finally placed above his head would fall down again. However, when he staggered, he saw that there was no sign of the paper bird on the ground. When he looked up, he saw that it was actually hovering like a real bird. The top of his head.

He knew that he could speak at this time, so he quickly sat down and told what happened the night he just arrived, "I judged the real ghost and the fake ghost based on the condition of the blood wood sword. When those three idiots came , the Blood Wood Sword is motionless, it must be a fake. Also, I just came here after all, and I don’t have much to ask about. I’ve told you everything. You have to tell me the situation over there and how long you can last. Over. No, no, no—there’s something else, why don’t we get a walkie-talkie, or just use a cell phone? This time it’s really over.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt a heat on top of his head. The paper bird had turned into a cluster of small flames, burning very quickly in the air, and then fell instantly. Wan Li was startled and jumped away quickly to avoid being burned on the top of his head. He was so angry that he almost cursed Ruan Zhan, blaming him for not reminding him. However, before he could speak, he suddenly felt someone calling him in his mind. He immediately calmed down and listened to Ruan Zhan's reply to him.

Two minutes later, he came out of the public restroom and returned to his room. Although it was only midnight and he was extremely sleepy, he couldn't fall asleep.

Ruan Zhan told him: Half of the twelve people were dead. He and Xiaoxia could still hold on in the new town for a while, but they had to investigate the situation outside quickly, because there was too much resentment in the town and ordinary people could not stay inside. Too much time will take its toll, and he himself suffered a minor injury and needed some time to recover. Also, Xiaoxia once encountered some strange things in the largest hotel in the town, related to porcelain, and there were ghosts crying for heat. Since we found out from the outside that the address of the new town used to be a kiln, we can learn from this aspect. The best thing to do is to stay in that hotel.

As for the question of why he didn't use technological supplies to contact him, Ruan Zhan didn't pay any attention to it. But even Wan Li understood that it was because these modern communication devices would have no signal and would be shielded by invisible magnetic fields. The reason why he asked this was because boring questions would relieve tension. Now Ruan Zhan was leading Xiao Xia and six survivors who were worse than Xiao Xia to fight alone. The more relaxed his mind was, the better. Although Ruan Zhan has always been a calm and collected person, when Xiao Xia is around him, he will inevitably have mood swings.

That dead girl is Ruan Zhan’s destiny now!

According to Ruan Zhan's words, it probably means that the twelve trapped people are more or less related to the past incident that caused the resentment. Even if they are younger, they may be suffering because of someone in the family. have been implicated, so the relationship between these people is also an important clue. What did they participate in together?

As for the reinforcement that Wan Li met tonight who came to the rescue twice, Ruan Zhan believed that he must be related to the matter they wanted to investigate, because the souls were relatively spiritual and would know that he was here to investigate the matter. It can also be judged that he is well-intentioned, so he may be asked to redress their grievances.

Thinking about it now, they already have three unclear clues - the first is about the kiln, and he plans to investigate this matter in the name of a porcelain lover tomorrow; the second is the person who helped him tonight It stands to reason that if he really had a grievance to complain about, he would find him again, so he decided to wander the streets at midnight tomorrow to see if he could meet him; thirdly, what was the relationship between these twelve people to investigate? This is more difficult. Although they all seem to be real people, the relationship between people is the most complicated. It is not easy for outsiders to understand, so we have to start with their origins and what they have done together.

Also, he had to be wary of Sima Nan sending people to sneak attack him again. Although Sima Nan, a small character like him, would not do it himself, as long as he sent the beautiful woman in red, he might not be able to defeat him, so he decided to use the invisibility charm appropriately and be careful not to be followed by Fei He. The important thing is to create a situation where Sima Nan cannot easily touch him. He now finally fully understood what Ruan Zhan often said - the enemy is strong and we are weak, and we can only win with wit and courage.

In this situation, trying to be aggressive is tantamount to an idiot's behavior.

Wan Li lay in bed all night planning tomorrow's events. He slept for a short time when it was almost dawn, and then immediately moved to the big hotel in the town. The owner of this small hotel didn't even ask him for room money. He said nice things, such as failing to protect the safety of his guests and allowing thieves to harass the guests. But Wan Li knew in his heart that he must have taken the money from the thugs. Just don’t expose it.

He just walked on the street so openly, regardless of how much curiosity and shock his nose and face were bruised and the stab wound exposed outside his clothes brought to passers-by. He just kept asking about the situation of the porcelain. In less than a day, In the morning, everyone in the town knew that there was a reporter from other provinces who was going to do a special report on the hometown of porcelain, and he was very enthusiastic. Many small workshop-style porcelain shops wanted to take the initiative to contact him to introduce the situation of porcelain in the town. A little mention in his news coverage would be a huge help to your business.

He had already moved to the largest hotel in the town early in the morning. It happened that the house next to Xiaoxia was still vacant, so he moved in. And after all the hard work in the town in the morning, by the afternoon he had exceeded his expectations for the results he wanted to get.

He has become a celebrity, and countless people are watching him every day. Sima Nan can no longer send thugs easily; he wants to inquire about the kiln, and now a group of people take the initiative to provide clues. Although it is not direct, he can ask insinuatingly, and This could be done unconsciously; he wanted to know what was going on with the people trapped in the new town, and he could get some clues through fake interviews.

Assuming that Ruan Zhan's guess is correct, then there is no collusion or even an antagonistic relationship between Sima Nan and the upper-level figures in Hongqing Town, because if he wants to use the resentful spirits, he must satisfy the resentful spirits' desire for revenge, which has resulted in so much resentment. If Ling's matter was concealed by these town leaders back then, then they must be the main targets of revenge. This can be seen from the fact that most of the people trapped in the new town are officials. In this way, they definitely don't want the resentful spirit to be released!

Therefore, although he has to do many things secretly, Sima Nan is even more shady than him. Moreover, if someone wants to check his reporter identity, nothing will be found for the time being, because although he has a fake reporter identity and his press card is not real, he does bear the title of special correspondent through friendship. Installed temporarily. If someone wanted to inquire about the newspaper office, his wise friend would help him hesitate for a while.

He couldn't help but smile when he thought about this. Taking the initiative in the morning really gave him the initiative. Now Sima Nan didn't dare to deal with him blatantly, but he could investigate the matter with peace of mind. If Sima Nan sends a fierce ghost at night, he can also use the invisibility charm to implement the three-hole strategy to ensure that Sima Nan will not find him easily.

His biggest problem now is to figure out the ins and outs of the matter as quickly as possible, provide clues to Ruan Zhan and Xiaoxia as soon as possible, and to muddy the waters in this town, and to find a man named Mr. Long.

He gave the town a good name and personally selected the site for the new town. It is said that he is a very learned hermit, but few people have seen his true appearance, and few people know where he lives, which arouses Wan Li's keen interest.

who is he? Is it related to this matter?

He didn't have time to think about this at the moment, because throughout the afternoon and even the entire night, Luo Yi was visited by visitors at the hotel. He began to collect a large amount of intelligence, and then filtered out the most useful information.

"These two boys!" Sima Nan stood in front of the window with a gloomy expression.

He was still staying in the luxurious suite of the five-star hotel, while Hong Haohao was sitting on the sofa behind him, sensing his extreme displeasure, so he didn't dare to interrupt.

She had just reported the situation in Hongqing Town to Sima Nan, and her plan to implement Wan Li was a complete failure - the Blood Wood Sword and the things left behind were not stolen, Wan Li was not really hurt, and Wan Li was blocked from continuing to do so. road. Although Sima Nan came up with the plan, she was the one who carried it out personally after all, and she was very afraid of being offended.

"Except for the first time we played against them, I never underestimated them. I even overestimated them a little every time. However, their potential seems to be unlimited, and they will always be more powerful than I thought." Sima Nan continued, " Okay, tell me, am I getting old?"

Since he asked, Hong Haohao didn't dare not say anything. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "Didn't you say that fighting with this kind of person is the only way to have fun? Isn't this just the right time to play with you?" After she finished speaking, she peeked at him. reaction, but he still stood with his back to her, motionless.

"What you said is correct." Sima Nan's tone was straight, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, "But there is a saying that raising a tiger will lead to danger. When the boy named Ruan becomes extremely powerful, and the boy named Wan can match up well, It’s me who will die. Hey, think about it, I might die in their hands.”

"No, you won't die. No one is stronger than you, you will definitely defeat these two boys." Hong Haohao said hurriedly.

Her tone was very sincere, because without Sima Nan, she could not exist in this world, and she greedily loved the darkness and prosperity of this world. And she was afraid of this man. Although he was the best lover when he was gentle, his heart was like a bottomless pit that people could not see clearly. Sometimes it would overflow with ferocious torrents, which was extremely terrifying.

"Don't worry, I can't die, because I won't let Ruan Zhan become so powerful that I can't stand it, and die in their hands? Humph, I'm just saying, you really believe it!" Sima Nan laughed arrogantly, and finally said There was a hint of emotion in the words, which made Hong Haohao breathe a sigh of relief.

"I will go to Hongqing Town in person tomorrow." Sima Nan made the decision.

Looking at the lights and traffic outside the window, he suddenly felt a little dazed. Is life so beautiful? He doesn't know, he just wants to know the taste of eternal life, so he must get it. And even if he died, only Abai was qualified to take his life!
