The Exorcist

Chapter 6 Psychic Medium

When she got closer, Xiaoxia could clearly see that there was a ruby ​​earring on each of He Fugui's ears.

In the past, I only thought that he looked like a nouveau riche. I wished I could wear huge gold rings on all ten fingers. The gold chain around his neck was as thick as a bicycle chain. I never noticed that his earrings were so thick. Simple, small and exquisite.

It's just that I don't know what kind of material the ruby ​​is made of. It feels cold when I get close to it, and it makes He Fugui's face look strangely pale.

"What kind of stone are your earrings made of?" Xiaoxia blurted out.

He Fugui took a step back. For some reason Xiaoxia felt that he was a little wary, "It was passed down from our ancestors. Is there anything wrong?"

"No, I just think it's beautiful." Xiaoxia knew that he didn't want to say it, so she stopped asking, thinking that it was indeed an antique, otherwise how could he have such a thing with his rich taste.

"Come into my room and talk." He Fugui waved to Xiao Xia and took her back to the room.

Xiaoxia told her what happened at night in detail, and of course she concealed the fact that she knew a little bit of magic. As she spoke, she peeked at He Fugui's face, and saw that the more he listened, the more frightened he looked. Sometimes he was in a daze, as if he was listening to other people talking. After pondering for a long time, she asked, "Did that female ghost say anything else? Did she specify What does it look like?”

"Mr. He knows that woman?" Xiao Xia was keenly aware of something.

He Fugui was stunned for a moment, and then said angrily, "I am a native of Jinshi Town. I have never been here, how can I know her? Secretary Yue, your imagination is too rich, isn't it?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. He, I just said it casually." Xiaoxia apologized, but in her heart she felt that He Fugui's words were flashing, "But this place is not clean. Should we leave here?"

"No, I haven't won yet -" He Fugui stopped talking and was stunned for a moment before saying, "I still have business, so I can't leave for the time being. If Secretary Yue really doesn't like it here, just find another hotel. I'll take a nap first. , you decide.”

When he said this, Xiaoxia had no choice but to agree. Seeing his displeasure, she wisely said goodbye and left. She was too tired after a long night of tossing. The new room was very sunny, so she opened the curtains wide and let the sun shine on herself before she dared to fall asleep. Despite this, she still slept extremely uneasily, and kept having all kinds of strange dreams. She dreamed of Ruan Zhan's lonely and handsome back, which made her feel distressed, but she could not touch him; she dreamed that she was in a She was bitten by many vicious dogs in the wet alley; she dreamed that a rope kept trying to put it around her neck; and finally she dreamed that she broke into a room and saw He Fugui sitting inside, but he had three heads, except his own There are also heads growing out on each of his left and right shoulders, each with a red female face, shining like stone!

The dream scared her awake and she couldn't sleep again. Wan Li said that she is easy to accept psychological suggestions. Did the events of the past few hours have any psychological shadow on her? She has been forcing herself to be strong, but the current situation reminded her of the first time she worked with Ruan Zhan, and she felt sad again. I made up my mind not to think about him, but if reason can overcome feelings, then feelings are not real feelings!

Look at the watch, it's almost noon. Xiaoxia knew that He Fugui and the bodyguard were still sleeping with their heads covered, so she simply got up to freshen up and decided to go shopping first and then change to a hotel.

Xiaoxia felt refreshed and comfortable walking in this bustling city in late autumn. She didn't have any goals, she just wandered around. She gradually moved away from the city center and came to an old alley similar to the old city. With twists and turns, she, a famous road idiot, began to get lost. But she didn't panic. Anyway, she just needed to find a taxi and go back to the hotel. Getting lost or not was not a big deal in a modern city.

She still walked slowly, admiring the style of these old-fashioned buildings. While looking around, she accidentally bumped into someone. She apologized hurriedly, but the man ignored her and just cried. She looked at the person who came with doubts, and saw that she was a woman in her forties, with tears on her face. She was so desolate and sad that everyone who saw her couldn't help but feel sad.

"It's okay, she just saw her deceased relatives." A voice sounded from behind, startling Xiao Xia. She was only looking at the staggering figure of the middle-aged woman and didn't notice anyone behind her.

"Dead relatives?" Xiaoxia repeated, thinking it was a local dialect and she misunderstood the meaning.

"You're not here to ask for help Liu——" The person standing behind her was also a middle-aged woman, who seemed to be about to go out, because Xiao Xia happened to be outside his house when she bumped into that person, and she thought Xiao Xia and the others had the same purpose.

"I came here accidentally. What's the matter?" Xiaoxia was a little curious.

The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to chat with Xiao Xia, "Have you seen the bottom of the alley?" She stepped out of the doorway and pointed inward.

Xiaoxia then discovered that this alley was a dead end. At the innermost place there was a large house with gray walls, about two stories high. The dark door and windows were slightly skewed in the wall, as if it would fall down at any time. In short, the whole house feels very heavy and eye-catching, as if it was built squeezed into the alley.

"That big house originally lived in two brothers, but later they both went abroad and left the house to their lonely cousin who had been living in the country." The middle-aged woman was very talkative, but her expression was a bit mysterious and awe-inspiring, " Aunt Liu is a very nice person and is very good at calculating. She helps anyone with anything, but the business she runs is a bit intimidating. You see, there are no children playing in the alley in broad daylight. Everyone starts talking as soon as they get home. I stay at home and don't come out, for fear of running into something dirty. Alas, I can't afford another house, otherwise I wouldn't live in such a gloomy place. In fact, this kind of business should be done in the countryside, and it's always better in the city. That’s not good. If it weren’t for the fact that Mrs. Liu is so kind and has no other way of supporting herself—"

"What business?" Xiaoxia was a little curious.

"Aunt Liu has a skill." The middle-aged woman lowered her voice, "She can make people see and talk to their deceased relatives. I have seen it with my own eyes. She cast spells, and the dead souls It was possessed by her, and what she said and did was the same as the summoned soul when she was alive. No one who came to her said anything wrong. Everyone came with doubts and went back crying. However, She does this in secret, and she always advises her guests not to meet their deceased relatives, so not many people know about it. But even so, the neighbors think this place is very spooky, and they don't dare to go to her home. go."

It turns out to be a psychic!

Xiaoxia suddenly realized it, and then her heart moved, and an idea rushed into her mind. So she thanked the middle-aged woman and walked towards the gray house at the bottom of the alley, ignoring the woman's surprised and disapproving expression.

Since she is a psychic and since she has this ability, let this old man help her also meet her deceased grandma! She also had a lot to say, but she didn't have time to say them. There are always many regrets in life. How great it would be if we could make up for it!

Squeak——

The wooden door let out a terrible groan. There was darkness and silence inside the wooden door. Xiaoxia couldn't help but smile bitterly. Why does this kind of place always have the same atmosphere?

"Is anyone there?" She squinted her eyes, adapting to the dim environment.

"Yes." An old voice came from the stairs. At the same time, with a "click" sound, several incandescent lights in the room lit up at the same time. Xiaoxia, who had just adapted to the dimness, closed her eyes. After a few seconds, Only then can it be opened.

"Did it hurt your eyes?" An old man walked down the stairs with difficulty, "But there is no way. The guests are afraid of the dark, but the people who summon that world want it to be darker, so I had to block all the light outside, but the room Make the lights inside brighter."

She is extremely short and thin. Although her Chinese clothes are old, she is clean and tidy, and her gray hair is neatly combed. Contrary to Xiao Xia's imagination, she didn't have any 'supernatural' feeling at all. Instead, she was kind and amiable, no different from the old people who basked in the sun in the park every day.

"It's okay." Xiaoxia saw that Mrs. Liu's legs and feet were inconvenient, so she hurriedly stepped forward to help her. But as soon as her hand touched the old man, Aunt Liu said "Hey" and looked Xiaoxia up and down.

"Girl, let me tell you, it is human nature to be reluctant to leave your loved ones. These are the seven sufferings of life." She patted Xiaoxia's hand, her palm rough and warm, "But try not to disturb the deceased. If you are reluctant, they will It will be even sadder. Birth, old age, illness and death are necessities in the world, so why hold on to them? When you see the person you want to see, the sadness in your heart will continue. For them in that world, it will only increase their worries. I'm afraid they will pass. It will be even worse. It’s better not to see him."

"I have a lot to say." Xiaoxia couldn't help but choked up.

"Oh, silly boy." The old man sighed, "Even if you say those words, they are of no use. The past can never be recovered. In this case, why disturb their peace?!"

Is this how Aunt Liu persuades others? I'm afraid not many people listened to her advice. The soul has obsessions, isn’t that true for humans?

"Besides -" before Xiao Xia could make a decision, Aunt Liu continued, "There is black air between your eyebrows, and the sun is covered with cold air. Is it because you hit something dirty recently?"

Xiao Xia was shocked. She didn't expect that the old man would see it at a glance. She didn't want to tell outsiders, but the old man seemed to have magical powers, which made her completely off guard. She told the old man exactly what happened last night, including her suspicions about He Fugui, but she still didn't say that she knew any magic. .

The old man thought for a long time and then said, "That female ghost is very fierce. It would have been better if you had hidden yourself and not provoked her. But now -" the old man glanced at the Jade Bodhisattva on Xiaoxia's chest, "Although you are yang-qi You are weak, but you are destined to the Buddha. Moreover, you are a protective object, extraordinary in the ordinary, with strong mind power and magical power blessed by external forces. There must be two people who love you very much to protect you."

Xiaoxia didn't say anything, but she was so sad that she burst into tears instantly. Grandma must have been the person who loved her most in the world, but she passed away; as for the person who added magic power to her amulet, did he really love her? Why could she vaguely feel it, but couldn't grasp it?

"The best way now is to stay away from that female ghost. Although she is fierce, her magic power is not strong. With this amulet, you will be fine." The old man continued, "But the coldness on your Yanghuo is not that The hanged ghost can cover you up, but I can only say that there are extremely vicious things around you, so you have to be especially careful about this!"

"Could it be that my boss -?" Xiao Xia was shocked, not knowing that dark clouds were over her. "But he can go shopping under the sun, so he shouldn't - or else, there is something wrong with him?!" Xiao Xia remembered That pair of earrings was particularly beautiful, but made her extremely uncomfortable.

She has experienced many supernatural events and knows that things are most likely to attach to such ancient objects. What's more, He Fugui is indeed weird. What does he do? Why is he always lying around day and night, mysterious? Too much money to use up? She was so eager to find a job that she didn't notice anything at all. Could it be that she accidentally stepped into another trap? This time, who are these things hiding in the darkness going to deal with? Was she chosen to be He Fugui's secretary intentionally or unintentionally?

"According to what you said, your boss is definitely not a good person. Girl, listen to me and stay away from him." The old man asked.

After listening to others' advice and having enough to eat, Xiao Xia knew that she was incapable and didn't want to cause trouble, so she decided to listen to the old man's words. But she couldn't leave directly, she had no money, and she had to do it naturally. If there is really something wrong with He Fugui and she wants to leave suddenly, it will arouse suspicion. She felt that He Fugui had no ill intentions towards her at the moment, so she thought of pretending not to know anything and spending another two weeks before taking the money and leaving.

After deciding what she wanted to do in the future, Xiaoxia chatted with the old man for a while, went out to buy some food and brought it back, and agreed to visit the old man later before leaving.

She booked a new hotel, and it was already dusk when she returned. As soon as she entered the hotel, she saw He Fugui walking around impatiently in the lobby. Seeing Xiao Xia walking over, she said sternly, "Secretary Yue, where have you been? ?I didn’t hire you to hang around.”

Xiaoxia frowned, a little angry. Although she knew that she would inevitably get angry when she came to work, even Director Pan never scolded her in front of so many people. Now this rich man with a mysterious background and possible evil deeds insulted her like this! But that's fine. If you break up with him, you'll have an excuse when you resign.

"Did Mr. He give any orders? You didn't hire me to be on call 24 hours a day." Xiao Xia said coldly, "Since your work and rest time starts at night, the time during the day is my own. During this period Time, what I do has nothing to do with you, Mr. He. The Constitution stipulates that rest is a citizen’s right. No matter how great you are, you are not as big as the Constitution!”

She spoke so loudly and confidently that everyone in the hotel lobby looked at this scene in surprise, waiting to see how the boss would get mad. He Fugui had never been so angry since he had won every gambling game. Moreover, he was in public, and his face turned red with anger. Just when he was about to attack, he suddenly froze again, as if he heard something, and then nodded strangely and said to Xiaoxia, "It's always your working time now, right?"

"Please tell me something."

"Don't you want to change hotels? If you have changed, give me the address and you will do the rest."

Xiaoxia stared at He Fugui and saw that he was full of anger but trying to endure it. She felt that something was strange, but she couldn't say anything at this time, so she only told He Fugui the name of the new hotel and went upstairs.

"I've never seen a clerk be so arrogant."

"Maybe he has some unclear relationship with this rich man!"

The people who witnessed this scene whispered, but He Fugui could only hear two voices.

"I've really lost my sight. This secretary of yours is not an ordinary person!" said the three-inch golden lotus sitting next to his left ear, "I never noticed that this woman with weak Yang and Fire actually has a treasure to protect herself. You said, she Do you know that?"

"I definitely know." The Tianzu in the right ear said, "Didn't you see? When she is angry, she has very weak spiritual power in her body, maybe she can use magic."

"Then let's see if she's here to cause trouble. Humph, now that things have come to a point, no one can stop us." San Cun Jin Lian snorted coldly.
