Article 37
Demon catcher... Strictly speaking, this wasn't even within Feng Xiaoxiao's part-time job scope.
Of course, she can't tell what her job is supposed to be anymore. In theory, it's ceramics store owner, but in private, the real job is collecting various divine bodies. If so, then theoretically speaking, occasionally catching demons shouldn't be a problem either, after all, SOHO is popular in today's society, and all-around developed talents are the mainstream.
Moreover, the most crucial thing is that since San Huanhuan has already found them, based on Xiao Xiao's understanding of their IQ, these three idiots must have made promises to that suspicious guy who was possessed by a demon in front of him, the difference lies only in how much the other party understands about themselves now...
"Let's talk about what happened first." Feng Xiaoxiao put down her bowl and chopsticks, sat on the edge of the sofa and began to ask about the specific situation. Yang Yan and Jiang Li were also idle, eating while listening to the story.
San Hun stood beside him, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke out in a stream of words.
After experiencing the event of dying and being reborn, San's attitude towards his gaming life also underwent a drastic change. He had thought that myths were just distant fabrications, but reality turned out to be even more mystical than he had imagined.
Since there are gods and ghosts, it means that good and evil deeds are not empty words. Although San Hua didn't see the legendary Hei Bai Wu Chang after death, there is no evidence to prove that the underworld doesn't exist. With this understanding, San Hua naturally wants to be a good person... Of course, it's unlikely for them to be polite, friendly, and cultivate virtues, but as long as they don't do anything bad, occasionally spitting on the ground won't get them dragged away to be deep-fried...
After being released, the three thugs first intimidated their former companions who had killed them and set fire to their house, making them think they were haunted by vengeful spirits. The companions quickly packed up and returned to their hometown, vowing never to return to the city again. Then, they drank with other former gang members who didn't know the truth, marking the end of past grievances and announcing their retirement from the underworld. Next, the three began to seriously consider their future plans, such as where to work, which old friends to reconnect with, and so on.
Unexpectedly, before they found a job, the three of them ran into their former class monitor from middle school on the street. With an unprecedented enthusiasm, they dragged this former class monitor to a roadside restaurant. At first, the class monitor thought they were going to cause trouble, but it turned out that they wanted to turn over a new leaf?!
With the spirit of helping others, the class leader was very pleased to express his views on the spot, saying something like "turning back is the shore", since you have decided to start anew, I will help as a colleague... The atmosphere was warm and enthusiastic, the scene was fiery, after two cups of wine, the class leader's head got hot and he started pouring out bitter water.
This class monitor is not a local resident, after graduating from a famous university, he stayed in the city alone due to work reasons, relying on his thick salary to buy a small suite, after simple decoration, he moved in happily. Although there is mortgage pressure every month, but because of having a goal, his enthusiasm for work has increased, and he is eager to get promoted and raise his salary to buy a car, marry a wife and start a family in a few years, and live a happy life from then on.
But after everything went smoothly, the first few years were fine, but recently, strange things have been happening frequently in the class leader's home. For example, when taking a bath, I always feel that the water flow in the bathtub is abnormal. For example, even though there is no one at home, the TV in the living room is turned on when getting up in the middle of the night. For example, sometimes bloodstains can be seen on the floor...
Too many abnormal things have happened, and the class monitor has naturally become a bit tense. These can't be explained away by saying there's a thief, so the only explanation is that there's a ghost... The class monitor's hometown is in the countryside, where elders all believe in this sort of thing, and having grown up listening to it, the class monitor's acceptance level is naturally high.
But San Hun heard that, and thought back to what Li Chang said before, that the ghost in this world is already very difficult to form, basically after leaving the body for a short time, the soul will scatter. So he thinks that the class monitor's suspicion is not reliable. Moreover, he had seen Ii, the new housekeeper of the Xiao family, and suddenly realized that there must be some kind of monster haunting the class monitor's home.
With a few drinks, and considering that someone had just agreed to help introduce themselves to others, the three rascals patted their chest and guaranteed to help the class leader find a high-ranking person to drive out the monster, which is why they ended up here today...
After listening to the cause and effect, Feng Xiaoxiao nodded: "It sounds like your guess is quite reasonable." If it's a fairy tale, then the Dharma body must have a physical body when reincarnated. Otherwise, once the flesh disperses, the Dharma body will also disperse. The same goes for ghosts, not every ghost has the luck of San Hun being nourished by a strand of spiritual energy and preserved...
"It's also possible that the class president is an incarnation of some deity?!" Yang Mo finally finished eating, wiped his mouth and picked up a cup of water to interject: "Of course, the phenomenon of the TV turning on and having bloodstains can't be easily explained, but perhaps it's like their situation, where a ghost was unintentionally released by the class president's spiritual energy and is being protected, that's why it's lingering in his house and won't leave?!"
"That makes sense." Feng Xiaoxiao nodded again, looking worried: "So you mean we should go take a look?"
"It doesn't matter, it's not like we'll lose anything by taking a look." Yang Yan was nonchalant: "To be honest, I'm not particularly interested in searching for immortals. Having a few of the same kind is enough, even if we were to rebuild Heaven, I wouldn't be the Jade Emperor, there's no benefit in doing this job."
"That's also true." Feng Xiaoxiao turned her head and asked: "You guys didn't tell others about our business, did you?"
The three of them looked at each other in dismay, their faces a picture of difficulty: "This..."
Feng Xiaoxiao saw this and coldly laughed, clenched her fist and threatened: "You dare to say it out loud?!"
"Actually, we don't really remember that clearly either. After all, we were drinking a bit too much at the time... probably maybe roughly... said a little something?!"
"It doesn't matter, anyway. Whether it's catching monsters or ghosts, unless someone is playing a prank, that person will definitely see some abnormal phenomena when they arrive." Yang Mo let out a sigh and shook his head: "If all else fails, I can still afford to buy a packet of Forget Worries Powder."
The Taishang Laojun has limited stock over there, but he should still be able to take out one more package.
Jiang Lifang ran over with a bowl and said: "I'll keep you company for a little while, if that's not okay, give me some money and I..."
"Then let's go tonight!" Feng Xiaoxiao turned around without waiting for anyone to finish speaking.
Sometimes she really can't stand the way of thinking in this killer family - when she was still a great god, she hadn't regarded all things as trivial, but looking at them now, they had already regarded human life as worthless eight hundred years ago...
