The Exorcist

Chapter Six The Woman in Black

"You have solved this matter a long time ago. It was just a show, right?" On the way home, Wan Li asked Bao Datong, "You did it not only to make Miss Sun feel that the money was worth the money, but also to advertise. Tell others through her mouth how wise and powerful you are, and how shocking your tricks are. Hou, it’s a pity that you don’t do business.”

"Ah?" Bao Datong responded casually.

He hadn't slept a wink for two days and one night. Before he solved the problem, he could still maintain a high-spirited appearance. Now that he relaxed a little, he immediately fell into a coma from exhaustion.

"I was praising you for your pretentiousness just now. It was so lifelike. It's a great blessing for the entertainment industry and a misfortune for the audience if you don't act."

Wan Li's tone was both teasing and helpless. Xiao Xia, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but smile when he heard the words. He glanced at Bao Datong from the rearview mirror, "You said he has business talent, and you said he has Among acting talents, which one is he better at?"

"I'm an all-rounder, I can do anything." Bao Datong muttered, adjusted his sitting posture, and tried not to let the things piled on the back seat fall down. It took him a whole day of hard work to get it. In a way, he's the guy who eats.

"I don't know what Miss Sun is like." Xiao Xia sighed, not understanding that a good woman, smart, beautiful, and well-educated, would have a bright future as long as she worked hard, but she had to put herself in this situation.

After the exorcism was completed, Ms. Sun refused to let them leave. She was obviously frightened. However, Bao Datong said that his exorcism operation was absolutely thorough, and it would not be effective if they did not leave. Moreover, he could not stay with her forever, so he had to talk to her to escape. Of course, he did not forget to finalize the considerable amount of the check with Miss Sun before leaving. , just wait for a week to make sure that nothing weird will happen again, and then you will get the money.

"Anyway, that lecherous old man will pay for it, so we don't have to be polite." Bao Datong said confidently.

As soon as they walked out of Miss Sun's house, Bao Datong told Wan Li and Xiaoxia that this was not a supernatural incident, but a human being causing trouble. The reason why they didn't reveal anything before was because they were afraid that the two people, who were not good at covering up, would behave unnaturally during the exorcism.

It turns out that the rich man's wife who kept Miss Sun finally knew about her husband's affair. However, the woman had a gloomy personality and did not make a big fuss when she heard about the incident. Instead, she secretly investigated Miss Sun's affairs. Soon it was discovered that she was unwilling to be lonely in her boudoir and had found a young lover.

So this woman bribed this young man who was obsessed with money and agreed to scare Miss Sun with ghost incidents in order to achieve the purpose of revenge on her, preferably by driving her crazy.

Bao Datong doubted the authenticity of this scary incident from the beginning, because he did not find any ghost energy in the small western-style building. Pretending to be a ghost and harming others may deceive ordinary people, but Bao Datong has learned to deal with such incidents since he was a child, and of course he immediately noticed something was wrong. Later, Xiaoxia accidentally discovered the eerie ghost eye, and Bao Datong cast a spell, and the information fed back by the spell was equally clean.

Miss Sun only noticed that the so-called hallucination disappeared after she invited some 'sacred objects', but did not notice that the timing of her lover's appearance was also related to supernatural events. But Bao Datong noticed this, so after carefully questioning Miss Sun, he ran back to the small foreign building to investigate the situation, and found that the so-called ghosts that appeared during the day and night were actually just added to the antique telescope. It is equipped with the most advanced and compact video playback equipment. As long as someone fiddles with the angle of the camera, a hidden switch will be turned on and a terrifying scene recorded in advance will be seen.

As for the sound, it can be solved as long as Miss Sun's young lover carries a miniature recording device with him. Those terrible stumps and hair can be understood by looking at the various horror toys nowadays. It is not difficult to get these. As long as Miss Sun does not The equipment is placed in a specific place - in the toilet, in the ventilation duct, behind the curtain, in the electric socket -

Miss Sun was very obsessed with her lover. Of course she did not suspect him, and she could not imagine that his "hallucination" that he could not hear or see her was actually just a disguise on his part, just to make her more convinced that a ghost was haunting her.

Bao Datong had already suspected Miss Sun's lover, but the deliberately amplified sound of the door locking that day, the traces of man-made damage to the electric switch outside the hospital, and the nooses and other small props he found in the man's house proved everything. Moreover, from the valuable old telescope, he also deduced that the person behind the incident was the rich man's wife.

Because antique-level items are rare, it is difficult for non-owners to understand its structure, not to mention that the other party came up with the idea of ​​hiding video equipment inside!

The thing is that simple, and the reason why Miss Sun sticks to that place is because the jealous rich man will call from time to time every night to check on the work. If he finds that Miss Sun is not there, he will probably fall out. Seeing that the time for the transfer of the house that they had agreed upon was coming soon, Ms. Sun had to endure it desperately in order to keep what she was about to get.

Therefore, as Wan Li said, when a person is obsessed with one thing, he may be exploited. This is the case for Miss Sun, her lover, the rich man and her wife. Bao Datong basically solved this problem by visiting two people who were pretending to be sneaky during the day and 'persuading' them a little. At night, all he did was perform illusions and act out a show.

In this way, he got the money a week later. "I am only responsible for ghost matters. I let them solve the interpersonal matters by themselves." He said.

Soon after, he solved another supernatural incident. A rich man surnamed Wang returned home drunk and found that the 'demon mirror' at the back door of the hall was completely black and did not reflect any light. Only the black shadow of a woman stood there motionless, turning her head to look at him.

At that time, he was so frightened that he ignored his incontinence and ran upstairs to call his wife and son. When everyone turned on the lights and emboldened each other to go downstairs, they found that the large floor-to-ceiling mirror was in good condition. The ground stood there, perfectly normal, nothing happened at all.

He swore that he was right and there must be something evil, so he found Bao Datong through his sister-in-law who loved going to bars. Bao Datong took Xiaoxia on an on-the-spot investigation, and the next day he performed some rituals at Wang Fusheng's house, and pulled out a black shadow from the wall!

In fact, this is still not a ghost, but man-made, but this time it is an accident.

On the same day, the attentive Xiao Xia discovered that there were signs of peeling off the wall on the edge of the mirror, and the nanny at home was arrogant, so she focused on the investigation and found out that the nanny broke the original mirror while having fun with her boyfriend while the owner was not at home. . Because the rich man was always strict and the family rarely went in and out of the back door, in order to save their jobs, she and her boyfriend hurriedly bought an identical mirror and planned to install it overnight. Unexpectedly, the rich man came home drunk and came in through the back door.

In shock, they threw the mirror up and ran away, but the little nanny didn't dodge in a hurry. She was so frightened that she stood motionless by the wall, causing Mr. Wang, who was dazzled by the drunkenness, to see the wrong thing. When he went upstairs to wake everyone up and explain the situation before coming back down, it was enough for the two young people, who were quick and agile, to reinstall the mirror.

But no matter what the truth is, Bao Datong's ability to catch ghosts and subjugate demons quickly spread among the so-called upper class society. The business did not get busy immediately, but the number of people coming to the bar to drink increased significantly, and most of them were men. The dead man doesn’t even ask the price for his wine.

"Azhan will kill you when he comes back." Wan Li said happily.

Due to the increase in customers, neither Wan Li nor Bao Datong knew how to bartend, so they had no choice but to work as waiters, leaving Liu Tie and Ni Yang, two bartenders, to take charge of the bar. But now the busiest time has passed, and they have some time to rest.

"I helped him triple his sales. Why is he unhappy?"

"He doesn't love money as much as you do. He likes to be quiet, so the style here has always been elegant and dark. You see, you made it happen, drinking and drinking every day, completely changing his territory."

"You can't blame me, it's also for work." Bao Datong let out a sigh. He never knew that opening a bar could be so tiring. "These days, there are so many dirty things underneath the bustling city. Everyone feels uneasy. , many people have ghosts in their hearts."

"That's true."

"Two old men, I borrowed it before." Ni Yang smiled mischievously and squeezed between them.

"You kid, who are you calling an old man?" Bao Datong said loudly.

"We work like this every day, and we have to go to class during the day, but nothing happens. You guys, it's only been one day, and you are already so tired. Aren't you old and weak? What are you?" Liu Tie at the bar wiped the cup. explain.

"That's just a matter of habit, I'm not used to it. Look at Wan Li, he is the flower of all medical and nursing girls - don't push me, let me educate these two guys -" Bao Datong and Liu Tie argued, But Wan Li kept touching his ribs with his elbow several times in a row.

"You may have business coming to your door again, why don't you go take a look." Wan Li didn't look at Bao Datong, but looked at the door.

Bao Datong looked around in confusion and saw a woman standing stiffly outside the door.

It rained tonight, but the woman didn't come in. She just stood outside the door and looked in. It seemed like she had been standing there for a long time. She was very thin, but she was wearing a long black dress and trousers on a hot day. Her long black hair was stuck to her face due to the rain. Her whole person seemed to have merged with the night, leaving only a pale face and The dark eyes look a bit scary.

"Don't worry, she's a human being." Bao Datong said to the other three people who were a little dazed. "I'll invite her in. It's so ungraceful to let a woman stand in the rainy night and remain indifferent!"

He walked over and opened the door, feeling the rain hitting his face, wet and cold.

The woman in black flinched at his appearance and asked before he could speak, "Bao Datong?"

She spoke very quietly and moved her lips only slightly, making the question sound like she was dreaming from far away.

"I am."

"Help me." The woman stretched out her cold hand and grabbed Bao Datong's arm. "Please help me, help me get my husband back!"

Bao Datong was stunned, "If you're looking for someone, it's not me - well, forget it, why don't you come in first?" He turned aside and invited the mysterious woman in black to come in.

The woman in black paused for a moment, seeming to be hesitating, but finally stepped into the bar.

She walked with her head lowered and followed the approaching Wan Li to a dark corner of the bar. She passively took a clean towel and a glass of mild wine from Wan Li. She felt as dark and light as a shadow. .

Although it was raining, it was summer after all, and the air-conditioning was not turned on in the bar, but this woman seemed to be very cold, shivering all the time. Not only was the hand shaking her hair, her teeth even knocked against the glass while drinking. 'Sound.

Wan Li winked at Bao Datong. He deliberately brought this woman to the corner to talk. This is a psychological characteristic of people. They always feel that dark corners are safer and it is easier to confide in others here.

"Excuse me--"

"I don't have that much money." The woman in black interrupted Bao Datong's question.

"It doesn't matter, this wine is for him to entertain the guests, there is no charge." Wan Li replied in a gentle tone.

"I mean - I can't afford Mr. Bao - such a high commission." The woman in black still lowered her head.

For a moment, Wan Li didn't understand who exactly 'Mr. Bao' was referring to. When he was about to say that they didn't have any 'Mr. Bao' here, he was looking in the wrong place. But when I looked up and saw Bao Datong shrugging, I realized that this sage who had never been serious was actually 'Mr. Bao'.

"That's okay, his charges are relatively flexible." Wan Li continued to say gently, "Can I ask the lady's name first?"

"Lu Yan." The woman in black took another sip of wine, as if to calm herself down.

"Then Miss Lu, what do you want to do with Mr. Bao?"

Lu Yan looked up at Bao Datong, but Bao Datong looked at Wan Li.

This woman is as fragile as a piece of black transparent glass, as if she will break at the touch of a touch. She is no better than those profiteers who are upright on the surface but cunning on the inside. It doesn't matter how he tosses her. He didn't want to say the wrong thing in front of a woman, and Wan Li was a psychiatrist and was better at talking to people, so it was more appropriate for Wan Li to ask.

"I want Mr. Bao to help me find my husband." Lu Yan saw that Bao Datong meant to ask her to talk to Wan Li, so she turned to Wan Li and said.

"That's right, Mr. Bao - Mr. Bao's main business, although it looks more like fortune telling, is actually based on Zhouyi culture." Wan Li explained patiently, "If Miss Lu wants to find someone, , I think it’s better to contact the police. Now the police have a network dedicated to finding missing persons, which is much more efficient than asking Mr. Bao to calculate the location.”

"No, you don't understand." Lu Yan heard the polite refusal in Wan Li's tone and explained anxiously, "Although my husband is dead, he has not left! He is by my side, I can feel it. I really I can feel it! But he won't come out to see me! I just want Mr. Bao to help me find him and let me see him once, just once! I have something very important to say to him!"

When Lu Yan said this, she suddenly became very excited. She tightly grasped Wan Li's hand as if grasping a life-saving straw. She cried and begged, "Please help me. I only need to see him once. Please . I can take out all the money, as long as the living expenses for our mother and son are left!"

Wan Li and Bao Datong looked at each other.

Her husband is dead? ! So she wants them to find a ghost? She also has a child! How is this going? Is it a hallucination caused by excessive longing for a woman who has lost her husband, and then has random thoughts, or is something strange happening?
