98|Stealing ghosts by opening the door with a strange plan

Xie Ren slightly stunned, long ago memories like dusty images, slightly brushed off the dust, but still not clear. He let go of his hand, picked up the flower, staring in silence. Hua Cheng also put aside the pen, slowly ink on the side, said: “What’s wrong?”

“…… “Xie Ren smiled, “Nothing. It’s just that this kind of flower, the fragrance is refreshing, I’ve always liked it.”

Flowers in the palace, is not uncommon. Only, generally will provide a large red and purple flowers, or never wither hand-tied fake flowers. After a pause, Xie Ren said: “Could it be that the ‘blood rain flower scouting’, scouting is this kind of flower?”

Flower City laughed, “Brother really does anticipate things like God.”

In the middle of the laughter, the two of them finally finished a piece of calligraphy together, and wrote the same four lines of the poem. Hua Cheng picked it up and admired it for a moment, and seemed very satisfied, saying, “Well, not bad. Frame it.”

Hearing him say “not bad”, Xie Ren already choked. Hearing “frame it” again, Xie Ren choked again and said, “You don’t want to hang it on the wall, do you?” If his deceased teachers saw that one of Xie Ren’s characters looked like this, I am afraid that they would be so angry that they would swindle alive. Hua Cheng laughed and said, “No. I’ll keep it for myself. I’ll keep it to myself, and not show it to anyone.”

It was at this moment that the two suddenly heard a faint trumpet call outside:

“Fire!”

“Fire!”

“There’s a fire at Polar Place!”

The Thousand Lanterns Guanyuan is extremely quiet, but the two of them have five senses that are beyond mortals, and when they heard the sound, they quickly glanced at each other, and Xie Ren said offhandedly, “It’s the Extreme Bliss Workshop again?”

The words have already been spoken, only to realize that this “again” is a bit funny. Hua Cheng did not panic, put away the words, said: “Do not worry, brother sit here, I will go back.”

How could Xie Ren sit here in peace, saying, “I’ll go with you!” He hurriedly followed, wondering in his heart: how is it that every time he comes, Extreme Bliss Place has to catch fire once? The name of the God of Plague could be confirmed again. Although this time it wasn’t about him, he was simply getting used to apologizing. The two of them rushed back to the extreme happiness workshop, the whole street is thick smoke rolling, the little ghosts and monsters noisily carrying buckets of water running back and forth to extinguish the fire, see the flower city and Xie Ren came, all said: ”City master! You don’t have to worry, the fire is not big, it has been extinguished!”

While Hua Cheng showed nothing, Xie Ren breathed a sigh of relief and said in a warm voice, “Great! It’s really hard for all of you.”

The little ghosts hadn’t expected to be thanked, not to mention the “hard work” of the city lord’s friend, so they were happy to hear it and said, “It’s not hard work! It’s not a big deal!” “I should!”

It was only then that Xie Ren realized that it seemed slightly inappropriate for him to come and talk about hard work, as he was not the owner of this room. However, since Hua Cheng himself didn’t say anything, it shouldn’t do any harm for him to say something, so he secretly said he was ashamed and didn’t care anymore. The two of them entered the extreme happiness workshop to look at the place where the fire started, sure enough, it only burned a small piece of place, and it was a corner not really eye-catching hut, no wonder it was quickly extinguished.

However, after ascertaining this, Xie Ren was wary and said to Hua Cheng, “The arsonist was neither ignorant and daring enough to play a prank, nor did he really want to burn something, it was more like he was trying to divert attention and draw everyone’s attention to him.”

But what would be the intended diversion at this juncture?

Suddenly, Xie Ren reacted, “That tire spirit!”

Earlier, when they came out of the Extreme Bliss Place, after walking for a long time, that fetal spirit had still been crying and wailing, its cries piercing and shrill, and calling out for its mother from time to time. And now, the sound had disappeared!

They went back to a side hall outside the Hall of Ultimate Bliss to check it out. When the two of them came out, Hua Cheng casually placed the earthenware jar containing the Fetal Spirit on one of the cases, right now the jar was still there, but as soon as Xie Ren went up and picked it up, she felt that the weight was wrong, it was too light. Opening it again, sure enough, it was already empty!

That seal, something that was kept inside a jar could not possibly open by itself. Xie Ren immediately said, “The Fetal Spirit has been released.”

Hua Cheng, however, did not have a trace of disarray and said, “It was stolen by someone. That thing passed through the butterfly formation, and now that it has been greatly injured, it won’t be able to run far on its own.”

Xie Ren said, “That would be good. Sanlang, do you have any guards here at the Extreme Bliss Place who monitor the comings and goings? See if you can find anyone suspicious.”

Instead, Flower City said, “No.”

“……” Xie Ren blinked and said, “No?”

Flower City said, “Uh-huh. Never.”

No wonder he secretly made a small move in the Joy Lodge last time, but he also did not see a single guard. Xie Ren also thought about whether it was because the ambush was too deep that he didn’t realize, didn’t think it was really not there, slightly stunned, said: “Are you so assured of the Joy Lodge?”

Hua Cheng said, “Brother, have you ever noticed the door in the Polar Place?”

After thinking about it, Xie Ren said, “Never noticed it. Could it be that there is something special about it?”

Flower City said, “Not bad.”

He pointed to the door of this side room and said, “If the owner of this room is not the owner of this room, and has taken away someone who was originally in there without permission, or something that doesn’t belong to him or her, even if it’s just one item, he or she will not be able to open the door and will be trapped in that room.”

Xie Ren recalled the last time he came to Joyful Place, he seemed to have been using the dice to open the way, and finally left, it was the windmaster who created a gale and lifted the roof, which avoided leaving through the “door”. These are some of the more violent images, the more you think about it, the more you feel that you can not think about it, slightly sweating. After a pause, she asked, “Then if you, Sanlang, snatched a magic treasure from me and received it in the Joyful Place, as the original owner of the magic treasure, I would not be able to take it with me?”

Hua Cheng raised his eyebrows and said, ”Of course I can’t take it with me. It’s mine when it arrives. However, brother don’t wrong me, I won’t rob your magic treasure.”

Xie Ren lightly coughed and said, “That’s natural, of course I know, that’s why I said it’s a fake make. And …… I don’t have any magic treasures for people to rob ……”

Hua Cheng joked to the point, smiled, and continued, “So, trying to steal from me without being discovered is impossible. Of course, there would be no need for an escort.”

Xie Ren’s first reaction was that the person who stole the tire spirit didn’t leave through the door, but used another method. But looking around, the roof of this remote hall was fine, the floor was fine, the walls were fine, there was no trace of being broken out, and she couldn’t help but have an even weirder speculation:

Could it be that the person who stole the Fetal Spirit hasn’t left and is still in this side hall?

Although there was no hiding place in this side hall, there were quite a number of various stealthy spells in the heavens and on the earth. Perhaps that person was near them right now, quietly observing their every move. Xie Ren gazed around, keeping an eye out for any unusual distortions in the air somewhere, however, both his eyes and his intuition were telling him that there was no third person or ghost here. I’m afraid he’s not thinking correctly, I’m afraid he’ll have to think in a different direction. At this moment, Hua Cheng laughed, ”Brother need not worry. I have my own way to find out the person who stole the tire spirit.”

He is actually a mastermind. Xie Ren turned to him, pondered for a moment, and suddenly was also enlightened.

Two people wait. After a while, the sound of noise gradually close, a large group of demons and devils surged over, crow gathered outside the side hall, all said: “City Lord, your old man looking for us is what command ah!”

There were at least a thousand of them, and if it wasn’t for the fact that the Polar Place was big enough to have a house with a yard, I’m afraid it wouldn’t have been able to be stuffed at all. The one who brought them here was the masked man, and said to Hua Cheng, “City Lord, those who have appeared on this street today should all be here. The Ghost Market has also been locked, no one can get out.”

It was still the voice of the young man from last time, Xie Ren couldn’t help but look at him again. The group of ghosts said, “City Lord, have you caught who set the fire yet?”

“I heard they even stole something! Either you’re tired of living or you want to die again!”

“What a big nerve. Setting fires and stealing things again, daring to move earth on the head of a taiyouyou, can the city lord let it go?!”

“……”

Although the group of ghosts were not talking about him, but Xie Ren, as a person who had burned down houses, secretly robbed people, and was spared by Hua Cheng last time in the Ultimate Bliss Place, listening to him felt like he had been shot with countless arrows, and coughed softly, feeling more and more apologetic in his heart, and peeking at Hua Cheng, he happened to bump into the fact that Hua Cheng also swept at him meaningfully, and his gaze hurriedly fled away. Next, he only heard Hua Cheng’s faint voice: “The person who stole the tire spirit stands out by himself. Don’t waste my time.”

The group of ghosts were shocked and said, “Among us?”

“I thought it was an alien ……”

“Who ah hurry up and come forward yourself!”

In the middle of the day, the uproar had subsided, but no one stood out. Hua Cheng said, “Very good, indeed brave. Male left and female right, separate.”

Although the group of ghosts were strange, they didn’t dare to disobey Hua Cheng’s words in the slightest, and immediately did as he said, bristling and splitting into two large piles. The male ghosts were crowded on the left side, rough and gruff; the female ghosts were all on the right side, almost all of them were slender and charming. Hua Cheng and Xie Ren exchanged glances and walked straight to the right, walking among the female ghosts, sweeping past ten of them with almost a single glance. A few steps later, when he passed in front of a female ghost, his feet slightly lurched. This female ghost was wearing a long skirt, her face was rubbed with a thick layer of white powder, so white that it was scary, almost unable to see her original face, but this overly gaudy and exaggerated makeup was slightly familiar, Xie Ren said, “Miss Lan Calamity?”

The female ghost stared blankly, as if she had just seen a ghost. Sure enough, it was the female ghost, Lan Calam, who had pestered Xie Ren on the streets of the ghost market last time, who had scolded the pig butcher on the street, who had laughed at him for not being able to perform, and who had publicized this to all the ghosts and demons.

After being surprised, she crossed her arms and held her head high, “What? You said yourself that you don’t lift! I haven’t wronged you! Is it possible that you want the City Lord to give me some color to take revenge?”

Although the surrounding female ghosts and demonesses were a little nervous, but hearing her say this, they still ate and laughed lowly. Hua Cheng also walked over, although he couldn’t see any expression on his face, that female ghost Lan Calamus was still a bit afraid of him, her posture didn’t dare to be too presumptuous. Xie Ren said in a gentle voice: ”That kind of joke, it’s okay for a girl to say whatever she likes. However, that fetus spirit has harmed countless people, it’s very bloody, it can’t be left alone, it’s better to please return it first.”

Even though Lan Calam was wearing extremely thick powder, one could tell that her face brushed even whiter. She fell back repeatedly, but she was in the midst of a group of female ghosts at this point, and within a few steps of falling back, she was grabbed by the bespectacled female ghosts with seven hands and eight feet, eliminating any possibility of escape, so she had to call out, “I don’t know what you’re talking about! What Fetal Spirit?”

Xie Ren said, “Please return it.”

Lan Calamus said, “What else do I have? I didn’t ah! You said I stole something from the city lord’s house, but everyone knows that you can’t take something from the city lord’s house, you can’t get out of the house if you take anything!”

The group of ghosts all said yes that’s right they all know, the pig butcher was also yelling. Lan Calamus also said: “The fire in the extreme happiness workshop is just a moment ago, I have been in this street at all did not leave, so if I stole something, surely I have not yet had time to hide it, right?” As she said this, she spread her hands to show that she was empty-handed, and also pulled up her skirt to show that she had not hidden anything. Xie Ren, however, said, “Girl, the last time I saw you, in the cold wind, you also wore very little. Today, the wind and sun are beautiful, why are you wearing a long skirt instead? Do you suddenly want to change your clothes, or are you trying to hide something?”

Listening to him mention, the group of ghosts only realized that, on weekdays, Lan Calamus is exposed clothing, Xie Ren said that she “wears very little”, is already a very polite way of saying it, in the street she almost bare | chest | show | breasts. Today, she was wearing a long skirt, covering her waist and legs tightly, which was really strange. Moreover, when Hua Cheng brought Xie Ren to the ghost market earlier, when the ghosts were giving away small dishes, there was no sign of Lan Calam, who used to love cursing on the street and actively publicizing the idea that “it’s him who can’t get it up, not me,” making a slight commotion. Xie Ren slowly said: “You are not taking away something that does not belong to you, you are only taking away a part of yourself. That Fetal Spirit, it is now in your abdomen!”

Since, the person who stole the tire spirit didn’t leave by any other method, nor did he stay in the side halls, there was only one possibility left: this person, left through the main entrance openly and honestly.

If the spirit had been born, it would have been a child, an independent person. However, the spirit was forcibly cut out of the mother’s body before it reached full term, so if the mother put it back into her own belly, then of course it would still be considered her “own thing”. No, I should say that the fetal spirit was simply a piece of her flesh, a part of her. After all, the blood of mother and child was thicker than water, and in this case, they were one and the same, so of course the female ghost could walk out of all the doors of the Joy Lodge unharmed and with honor.

Therefore, the one who stole the fetal spirit must be a female ghost, the birth mother of this fetal spirit. If we quickly blockade the ghost market and find all the female ghosts that appeared on this street before and after the fire and check them out, we will definitely be able to catch them. Come to think of it, all of this Hua Cheng had thought about the moment after entering the side hall.

Suddenly, Lan Calamus cried out and violently covered his stomach with both hands.
