Chapter 16 Shadow of the Sixteenth Night

Since I got the mirror demon, I found that it is really a good thing. Not only can the mirror demon peep into the fear in people's hearts, but it even seems to improve my eyesight. Unfortunately, I can't speak. It just gives the scene to me if it wants to tell me I read. Luo Lei is much better. In fact, she was just a little frightened, and she was discharged from the hospital soon, but she still has lingering fears about the mirror, even the smoothest things. If she knew that the mirror demon was by her side, she would definitely be angry.Time is still going on boringly, I usually rely on the mirror demon to observe the pedestrians on the street at will, and see their inner fears, which is actually very interesting.Ji Yan went out to roam again, but I was caught up in work, or I might go out with him to explore.

After get off work at noon, I had dinner and looked at the pedestrians outside as usual.One of them, a tall and savage-looking figure, caught my attention. This man was wearing a pair of sunglasses, but his face was full of flesh, his hands were always in his pockets, he was wearing a black leather jacket, he seemed to be waiting for someone, he was always looking around and looking at his watch.I curiously let the mirror demon pass by, I wanted to see what he would be afraid of. Soon the mirror demon came back, as long as it was an object that could reflect light, the mirror demon could shuttle between them.Coming back to me, I closed my eyes and began to observe.

It was very dark at first, not our usual darkness without light, but with a strong sense of oppression and suffocation.Always dark, is this man just afraid of the dark? The image that the mirror demon gave me soon disappeared, and I suddenly became very interested in this man.Anyway, the proofreading of the manuscript in the afternoon is over, and the boss is on a business trip, why not follow him to have a look.Make up your mind, I immediately followed and stayed opposite him. Soon, another man came over, not tall, a little fat, with a black peaked cap on his round head, and his hands in his pockets.They seemed to have a conversation, but unfortunately they couldn't hear it. The mirror demon could only see but couldn't transmit the sound.I had to observe first.After a while, it seemed that the two had an intense quarrel, but it subsided quickly. Before they broke up, they hugged, but I clearly saw that the man wearing sunglasses seemed to throw something on the ground.Now it happens to be when the sun is at its highest, and the shadows of the two are intertwined, which makes me feel very uncomfortable, because the shape of the shadow is very weird.

After the chunky man left, the man in sunglasses sneered, looked around and left quickly.At this time, I chose, and decided to follow the man wearing sunglasses. Although he is tall, he is extremely flexible. The street is crowded with pedestrians, but he walks very fast. Fortunately, Ji Yan is also a fast walker. He often urges me, and slowly my speed is faster than He is an ordinary person, but following him is still a bit difficult.I was afraid that I would lose it, so I let the mirror demon stay in his sunglasses first, so that it would be easier to find. Fortunately, I reluctantly followed him. After walking for more than four stops, he walked into an office building. I know that this building has been abandoned for a long time. It is said that the feng shui here is not good, and people have died before, and all the businesses that have operated here, including restaurants, specialty stores and shopping malls, have closed their doors within a few months.So there was an empty and lifeless abandoned building on the busiest street in the whole city. Compared with the noise next to it, pedestrians consciously didn't go there.It is estimated that the investor must have bought it without spending much money, and God knows how long he can last.The office building is nearly 80 percent complete.It looks good from the outside, but the inside is probably still under renovation.The man in sunglasses walked in quickly, I hesitated for a while, but followed.

Sure enough, there were few people inside, and there were still unremoved construction materials and paint everywhere. It was too easy to be exposed by following him in such an open place.I had to keep as far away from him as possible.The man in sunglasses walked to the elevator, looked around, and walked in.It appears that the elevator has been installed.I waited for the elevator door to close before I came out from the side and looked, the elevator stopped on the 11th floor.Although there are two elevators, it seems that the one next to him can't be used. It will be difficult to find him when the elevator comes down.I should have known that the mirror demon followed him.I was annoyed when suddenly a person came over and yelled at me

"Who are you?" I turned my head and saw a man wearing a construction site helmet and overalls, of medium height, with his left hand extended and pointing at me.When I got closer, I recognized him immediately.He has been appearing on TV a few days ago. His name is Jin Boming. He is said to be very rich. Of course, he funded and built this building.But how could he be here alone, such a rich man is like a contractor. I identified myself to him, but he seems to have misunderstood, at first thinking I was a thief, and now thinking I was reporting on his building.The slender single eyelid eyes glanced at me, the nostrils on both sides sucked, and snorted from the nose very displeased.

"Your newspapers are also looking for sweets. I gave you a lot of money for the media, so don't bother me anymore." Sure enough, money is directly proportional to temper. "You misunderstood, I just," I wanted to tell him that I was following a suspicious man in, but it seemed that the reason was too far-fetched, so I had to say that I was curious and came in to have a look. "Go out, this building will be built soon, and I will remember to invite you then, but please get out now!" He impatiently issued an expulsion order, and then went around with his hands behind his back.I had no choice but to leave the building, and looked back at him before going out. He was really a weird person.

Since I couldn't find the man with sunglasses and I was about to go to work, I had no choice but to return.But the man in the sunglasses is always in my mind, I always feel a little uneasy, maybe I am overthinking.When I got home from get off work and turned on the TV, the first news confirmed my hunch.On the street not far from the newspaper office, at noon, a man suddenly died suddenly in full view. This man was the one I saw talking to the man in sunglasses at noon.The name of the deceased was Luo Xing, a famous architect.According to the time, he died shortly after he separated from the man in the sunglasses. According to reports, there was no obvious trauma, probably a heart attack, but I suddenly remembered the things the man in the sunglasses threw to the ground during the quarrel and hug with him.I regret that I was careless, and I should have gone to the ground to see more.But one thing is certain, this matter is absolutely inseparable from Jin Bo's name.Maybe there is something hidden in it. If the report comes out, it will be absolutely shocking. You must know that when he bought and built the building, he publicized it everywhere. It is said that people who come to rent the floor will queue up before the building is completed.Did this Luo Xing know something to be silenced by the man with eyes?

After dinner, I called my classmate who was also a reporter and interviewed the matter. The classmate told me that Luo Xing was one of the designers who designed the building for Jin Boming.At that time, Jin Boming hired four famous designers with high salaries at the same time, and it was also hyped by the media. It seems that hiring famous designers at a high price is also part of Jin Boming's plan.Natural Luo Xing is among them.I also found out that another one in Sihai is still there.I live on the fourth floor of a private house on Litton Road near the building.I decided to visit him now.

It was already dark outside when we went out.It is only ten minutes from home to Litonton Road.But I quickened my pace.I rushed to the address my friend said and found that the lights on that building were on.I'm secretly glad that today's luck is really good.There is an electronic door downstairs, and I was thinking about whether to press 401 or 402 when someone came out of it, but it seemed that the building lights were not on, so I couldn't see the appearance of the person coming, but it would be fine if someone opened the door.As soon as the door opened, I just went in, but the person inside seemed to be in a hurry and slammed into me. The two of them collided. This person was very strong and almost knocked me over. I stopped myself and found that there seemed to be a roll of drawings on the ground. , but I couldn't see what it was, the person who came here hurriedly rolled up the drawing and left, treating me as transparent.I rubbed my chest that hurt from the bump and climbed up to the fourth floor.

I don't know if there are few people living on this floor, or they all went out. Anyway, when I was downstairs, I found that the lights on the fourth floor were on. When I went to the fourth floor, the door on the left was still ajar.The thick anti-theft door was completely useless. I opened the door carefully and asked, "Is there anyone inside?" But it was still quiet. I didn't want to be charged with trespassing, so I had to stand outside the door and ring the doorbell, but inside Still no one came out.I had no choice but to walk in as I said I came in. As soon as I came in, the door was closed by a gust of wind. I thought to myself that such a heavy door would be closed as soon as I said it was closed.The living room where you enter the door has a combination sofa and a coffee table. On the wall is Xu Beihong's picture of ten thousand horses. It is naturally fake, but it looks very imposing.Even though it was lit, the marble floor tiles made me feel cold.There is a room on the left, the door is closed, didn't he hear me coming in while he was working in it?Will he be sued if I go in now?I was hesitating, when I suddenly thought of the mirror demon, let it go in and have a look.The mirror demon tilted its head and disappeared with a sound.Seconds later, it was back on my shoulder.I close my eyes. One side is dark, and it's the same as last time I saw the man in sunglasses. What's going on?I walked over carefully, the door had a revolving handle, it was cold when I held it, and with a little force, it didn't lock.crunch.The door was slowly opened.It was really dark inside.But this darkness is a bit different, it seems that the whole room is filled with black shadows, and the huge sense of oppression makes it impossible for me to walk in.I even found that the light from the living room couldn't get in at all when it reached the door. No, it should be said that it was completely swallowed up like encountering a black hole.My phone's light source can't shine through at all.I swallowed, thinking that there should be a light in the room, I reached in with trembling hands to find if there was a switch on the wall next to the door, sure enough, I found one and pressed it. The light on the roof inside came on, but only for a moment, or less, and the light disappeared almost before it spread.My naked eyes barely had time to see anything.I had to reach in and touch the switch again.But this time, as soon as my hand went in, I felt immediately held by a hand. I was startled, the person holding my hand was very strong, as if he was going to drag me in, half of my body had already entered the room.I had no choice but to grab the wall outside the door with my hands and struggle desperately. In this kind of sawing, I suddenly heard the gurgling sound in the animal's throat, and let go of my hand, and then a person slowly emerged from the darkness come out. A completely distorted face, all white hair, covered in a mess on a head that is larger than ordinary people, eyes are wide open, the gray-black eyeballs do not move at all, the mouth is tightly closed, and one hand is still grasping. On my wrist, his body seemed to be spit out slowly by the room, bit by bit.Judging from his attire, he was wearing slacks, casual clothes, and slippers on his feet.Could it be that he is Yu Sihai?I carefully supported his body and laid him flat on the ground. But whether it is not important, I checked his breath, he is already dead.But how can he hold my hand if he is dead?It took me a lot of effort to get his hand off, leaving four bruises all over my wrist.The man who came down the stairs just now must have killed him, as well as the blueprints. Could it be to snatch his architectural blueprints?What is the use of this?The building is almost finished.Now two of the four designers are dead.What about the remaining two. Twenty minutes later the police arrived quickly.The strange thing is that at this time, the room can enter the light.Only then did I see that there was a studio inside, with lights, a drawing board, and a computer, which was always powered on.But the display is black.The light switch is also good, and the facilities inside are very simple. It seems that this is where he usually works. The police had to question me, and they looked at me suspiciously, because my presence was so unusual that I didn't tell them about the strangeness of the room.It’s just that I came to interview the designer but found that the door was unlocked and called for a long time, but no one answered. When I came in, I saw him leaning on the wall in pain, so I helped him lie down, and then he died.The police couldn't produce any evidence, after all, Yu Sihai's body couldn't find any trauma for the time being.But even though I was sent back, I had to be there whenever I was called. It was almost ten o'clock when I went back, and I kept thinking that when Dang Yu's body came out of the room, although I was nervous, I still seemed to feel something strange about his body, but I have forgotten what it was.Sometimes it is like this, the more you want to remember, the easier it is to forget, as if the thing is close at hand, but just out of reach. I simply didn't want to, so I soaked myself in the hot water in the bathtub when I got home to relieve my fatigue and tension.When I take a shower, I am used to covering my eyes with a towel and soaking for ten minutes, and today is no exception.Just as he closed his eyes, the mirror demon suddenly barked. It usually seldom barks, but today it seems to bark very urgently.I took the towel off and it stood on my shoulder, nothing happened, but the mirror demon kept barking.I had to stand up and wrap myself in a towel.The yellow light in the bathroom stretched my shadow so long that it fell directly into the water. shadow!By the way, I remembered, when Yu Sihai's body came out of the dark room, the light was on in the living room, but there was no shadow of his body!Not at all!That's why I felt a sudden discomfort. Although his shadow recovered after the police arrived, his shadow was really invisible at that time.I was just happy that I finally figured out the eyebrows, and was about to go out when the mirror demon screamed again, and the voice was more intense and harsh.I had to forcefully order the mirror demon back into my eyes.Turning my head, I found that my shadow was actually still in the bathtub, and it was stretched extremely long. There is no reason for the bathroom light to be like this. I stood there blankly, looking at my own shadow, the part of the bathtub where the shadow touched the water began to boil, but nothing happened next to it, and after the violent boiling, it began to turn black, first the water in the bathtub, then the bathtub, the shadow was as fast as a creeper Crawled all over the bathroom walls, floor, everything.And it's getting closer to me.In a few seconds, I will be in complete darkness, unable to see anything, this reminds me of Yu Sihai, is it the same for him?Or shall I follow in his footsteps? I was terrified, but thinking that the eyes of the sealed mirror demon could not be restricted by the light source, I simply closed my eyes, and sure enough I saw it. Although the surroundings were black, I still saw myself crawling out of the shadow of the bathtub. A humanoid figure, head first, then broad shoulders, tall and tall, was slowly coming out of the bathtub and walking towards me.I try to calm down, this guy probably doesn't know I can see him. There is only one chance, I don't know if he is a real body or a spirit body, anyway, if I don't resist, I will die without any wounds like Yu Sihai. It was getting closer and closer, the thing was only a few steps away from me, and my palms felt sweaty.The human-shaped object stopped less than one meter in front of me. It raised its hand and rushed towards me. With a flash, I grabbed his hand, just like holding a lump of soil. His whole body disappeared.I opened my eyes, the bathroom was restored again, the lights were still on, and I was still standing there as if nothing had happened.But it was sweating profusely, still cold sweat. The hand holding that guy was still a little numb. I looked at the palm, but there was nothing.What the hell is that?But it is definitely not good, if there is no mirror demon, I am afraid I will be dead.I didn't know if he'd be around, I barely slept all night, but he didn't seem interested in me anymore.I stayed until dawn and finally fell asleep.I don't know how long I slept, but I was woken up by the phone at home. I squinted my eyes and saw that it belonged to the boss. As soon as I answered the call, I heard his thunderous roar. "How do you make a newspaper? Yesterday when the designer died at home, not only did you not get the information, but you were also involved as a suspect. You were almost laughed to death by your peers! Come back quickly!" The phone hung up.I was a little sobered by his shock.Looking at the time, it was almost ten o'clock, no wonder he was angry.What happened last night left me with lingering fears, the marks on my wrist are still there, very eye-catching.The other two designers don't know what's wrong, they don't understand why they should be killed and their design drawings should be robbed. When I got back to the boss of the newspaper office, he gave me a lesson and told me that the police had said that we must keep in touch with them these days.I was thinking about the whereabouts of the other two designers.Walking out of the newspaper office, I quickly asked my friends to check, but soon found out that the other two designers were still working in other places and could not be contacted now.It seems that if you want to investigate, you still have to go to that building, but does what happened yesterday mean that they have found me?Want to silence? Maybe a visit to that building will reveal something new.Since I was involved in it, the boss naturally asked me to go, just got a chance, this time I can justifiably go and have a look. Last time I just followed the man in sunglasses, but this time I took a good look at it. It was really majestic and strange. What made me most curious was that there were stone monuments erected at the four corners of the building, but I couldn't figure out what it was.It is said that Boss Jin pays great attention to feng shui. He once said that feng shui here is not good, but he has the confidence to make this place a blessed and prosperous place. I just looked at the building, but suddenly my body was pushed, and I fell to the side at the same time as a person. Looking back, it was a girl in her twenties.I was just wondering when I realized that a pile of debris was being unloaded where I was standing just now.The driver hurried down to see me and kept apologizing, saying that he didn't notice someone nearby. I said it was all right, and he left with a sense of relief. To that girl I have to be very grateful.The girl has short hair around her ears, a pretty face, longing eyes, a small but tall nose, and a pointed chin. What makes me most curious is that she has 11 pierced ears on her left ear, each with a Small earrings in different colors.The girl looked at me smilingly in a beige top and slacks. "Are you okay. Thank me quickly, if it weren't for me, you would have died." I patted my shoulder as I spoke, and I looked at the hands on my shoulders, a little surprised, but I like people to casually talk about death, wrinkle He frowned and said, "Thank you." She seemed annoyed and stood there pouted.I also felt that after all, someone saved my life, so I extended my hand friendly. "Thank you formally for saving me. My name is Ouyang Xuanyuan, and I'm a newspaper reporter." As she spoke, she gave her a business card. She flipped through it and threw it away. I turned around and threw it. "No need for this thing, I just read it and remembered it all." After speaking, he smiled and pointed to his head.Seeing that I didn't believe it, I immediately reported the phone number of my work unit and my mobile phone.But remember nothing. "My name is Li Duo. You can call me Duo Duo. I am a senior student in the Department of Architecture of Nantah University. I like to study folk customs." He said and showed me his student ID. Nantah University is a good key university. I looked at the students Zheng looked at her again, and it seemed that she was right. After asking about the purpose of my visit, I realized that Li Duo also wanted to investigate. According to her, the feng shui of this building is very problematic. "You still know Feng Shui?" I wanted to laugh a little, but I didn't expect that there are girls who are interested in this, especially the one who looks so fashionable and beautiful. "Of course, Chinese Feng Shui has a history of thousands of years. Since it can be preserved for so many years, there is a reason for its survival. You may not believe it, but you can't deny it." She blinked her eyes and said seriously, nodding as she spoke , The earrings on the ears are shaking. "In fact, the current urban construction methods are either complete imitation or complete destruction, and it is not necessarily a good building if there is innovation. What do we build houses for? It is for people to live in, so good buildings should be diversified and multifaceted It reflects the double collection and tolerance of its artistic value and humanistic value." I was taken aback by what I said, thinking that this girl is still a set, but seeing her speak seriously, I couldn't bear to interrupt. She also said that the two designers, including the dead and Si Hai, are excellent architectural design experts. They all have common characteristics. They like to refer to the classical Chinese Feng Shui theory when designing, and integrate the current architectural concepts. , but such an excellent designer suddenly died suddenly after designing this building, so she felt strange and suspicious, and wanted to see if there were any clues here.As soon as I heard that someone could help me, I would be glad. I originally wanted to find Luo Lei, but she is too busy with work, and she is not as capable as this girl.Ji Yan sent a fax in the morning, saying that he actually went to Tibet, and he probably won't show up in a few days.How lucky to have this girl to help. We didn't go in as reporters, but just observed here first, during which I told her about the weird shadow time I met last night.She said with a serious expression that this seemed to be a forbidden technique in ancient times. "China is often caught in wars. Since the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, assassination has been praised as the fastest and most effective method of political subversion. For example, Prince Guang asked Zhuan Zhu to assassinate King Liao of Wu with Yuzang, and Li used a golden hook to kill Qingji, including the most famous Jingke assassinated the Qin Dynasty. So of course an assassination group serving politicians appeared. I collected some of their legends when I was doing research abroad. Their secretive actions and ulterior motives made them never visible, and of course history has no way of knowing Research. But those famous assassinations are more or less related to them, so some people still record that they use ancestral beasts to control the shadows of human beings to carry out assassinations, and there is no external injury, and they can even cause people to die slowly. Caused by diseases. The beasts they drive are called shadow bites, also called Jieluo. It is said that they grow up eating shadow trees. They have no entity or can change any entity as long as they are in the shadow. The people who control them are called the shadow clan. Ordinary people are no different. When they want to kill someone, they will throw the shadow tree into the opponent's shadow, and the beast will eat the shadow together when it eats the shadow tree. Then, the Shadow Clan can let Fei Luo put the victim's shadow at the same time. Complete devouring is like Yu Sihai and Luo Xing who died without warning and scars and can control the shadow to make the subject die slowly. You were very lucky yesterday. It was just that Jie Luo was devouring the remaining bit of killing intent left by Yu Sihai. You At that time, I came into contact with Yu Sihai, so I was brought back together, but it’s strange, how can you be okay?” I was surprised that she knew so much, as if the teacher who had prepared the lesson a long time ago was teaching the students.I didn't tell him about the mirror demon, I just said perfunctorily that the shadow disappeared by itself later, she stared at me and said oh. "Then how do you control the shadow to kill people?" I asked again. She shook her head, "I don't know about that, it's very hard just to inquire about the above." What a magical girl, she is almost the second Ji Yan at such a young age, if he was here, he should have a chat with her no end. Just as I was sighing, a person came out of the building, it was the man in sunglasses from yesterday. Now that I think about it, the person who bumped into me downstairs that day might also be him.He was still looking around vigilantly today, and when he saw me, Li Duo naturally held my arm and pretended to watch passers-by. Seeing that the man in the sunglasses was safe, he immediately walked away, and Li Duo and I hurriedly chased after him. This time I learned how to behave, and told the mirror demon to stay on the man in the dark glasses, so that even if we lost him, we could still find him.Sure enough, after following for a few streets, the man in dark glasses threw him off. I immediately went to perceive the mirror demon. Relying on the images passed by the mirror demon, we managed to find the man in dark glasses. He actually came to a hospital.But his feet are really strong. If he doesn't stop, Li Duo and I won't be able to go on. "How did you know he came here? You obviously lost track of him just now." At that time, I forced her to run over, and now she asked me the other way around. "Ah, well, I have very good eyesight, and besides, I am familiar with the streets here, so he should go this way." I tried my best to make up a poor excuse, and Li Duo glanced at me distrustfully. "You seem to be hiding something from me. Don't underestimate my intelligence. I have an IQ of 145. In school they say that smart people are not as beautiful as me, and beautiful people are not as smart as me. If I find out, you want to deceive me." I'll make you feel better!" As she spoke, she shook her white and thin fist and walked in again.I had no choice but to smile wryly, not knowing what expression she would have if she knew the Mirror Demon. We followed the man in sunglasses all the way to the sixth floor of the inpatient department of the hospital. I saw that it was actually a nephrology department, and after inquiring, all the patients living in this Zeng building were kidney failure patients, all of whom were very serious.What is the man in sunglasses doing here? He walked into a ward, but we didn't dare to follow him. About half an hour later, he came out and stopped a doctor as if giving instructions. The doctor was a little impatient, and finally he left. We quickly stopped the doctor and asked him . "What do you mean by him?" The doctor pushed his glasses and said impatiently, "He is a very troublesome person. Every time he comes, he will stop me and tell me to try my best to take care of his son. It seems that we are very cold-blooded, really, but he doesn't seem to be very kind to his son, so he hired a nanny here to take care of him. I was still a little afraid of him, but he always told me later, with a pitiful expression." The doctor said a lot. "Then what's his name, and where is his son?" I asked quickly.The doctor took a step back alertly, putting his hands behind his back. "Who are you guys? Are you family members? Why are you asking so many things? I'm going to call someone if you're going." He really seemed to turn his head and call someone.I hurriedly stopped him and told him that I was from the newspaper and wanted to report on the spirit of saving lives and helping the wounded in the lower hospital and the high integrity of the doctors and nurses.His eyes lit up, and he quickly took out a pack of cigarettes, but he just put it back after handing it out. He said in embarrassment that the inpatient department can't smoke, and he wanted to drag me to give him an exclusive interview. I couldn't bear it because I was too enthusiastic. But I couldn't delay it for a while, so I had to get the name and bed number of the man in sunglasses and ask Li Duo to go in and check it out. The doctor almost started talking about it when he participated in the singing competition in kindergarten. He regarded me as the clerk of the memoirs. I had to listen patiently while waiting for Li Duo to come out. I walked out with my head shaking my head, and I interrupted the doctor as soon as I saw him coming out, and told him that I would come next time, too many words for me to remember.The doctor was a little annoyed, and wanted to continue. I immediately pushed him away and left. When we walked downstairs, he could still hear his shout saying that he would definitely come next time. "Being a reporter is very popular." Li Duo made a grimace and laughed at me, but I ignored her and asked about the man in sunglasses directly. "His son is 12 years old and has suffered from severe kidney failure. He has been in the hospital for three months. A kidney replacement would cost more than a hundred thousand yuan, but recently he has just paid all the surgery fees. The child is very kind, although his face looks ugly. Poor, but very strong, he thought I was his father's friend who came to see him specially, and I was very proud of my father." Li Duo was a little sad when he said this, it seems that this girl still has this side. "There's very little information about the man in the sunglasses. He only knows his name is Gao Bing, but he doesn't know if it's a pseudonym." "He suddenly got a lot of money. Someone must have hired him to kill the two designers and take the blueprints. It seems that he should be a descendant of the legendary Shadow Clan. But he is also very pitiful, That child will survive without surgery." I looked at Li Duo, it might be difficult to contact Gao Bing directly, so I might as well investigate the situation of that Jin Boming. According to Jin Bo’s famous information, he is a businessman who worked hard on his own. He started his business as a small merchant, and then resold it in the 1980s, and now he invests in real estate. It seems that he is no different from thousands of upstarts in China, but I still noticed that his original ancestral home was a local.The building, by the way, seems to be a desolate place since I was a child.So Li Duo and I asked the elderly people in the area. It turned out that this place was a residential area decades ago. At that time, the roads had not been expanded. The buildings here are not going well, and the business is in a mess. There are also rumors that there will be ghosts in the middle of the night.In this way, it is even more strange that Jin Boming chose this place to build a commercial building. According to his age, he should know these things. "We might as well take care of Gao Bing's son here. He shouldn't dare to make mistakes in front of his son. Maybe we can have a good talk with him to see what role Jin Boming plays here." Li Duo suggested. It was indeed a good idea to hear that it was a good idea, and Gao Bing was going to have an operation in the next few days, and Gao Bing estimated that he would come more frequently, so Li Duo and I stayed in the hospital, and I went to set up porcelain with the doctor, and Li Duo went to take care of the child. I also saw Gao Bing's child. If the boy was not sick, he should be very beautiful and energetic, but now he has a bag hanging around his waist, and the catheter is directly connected to his kidney. I know this is dialysis, and he cannot be replaced before the kidney Patients with kidney failure cannot detoxify through urine, so they can only choose dialysis and hemodialysis. Hemodialysis is more expensive, so Gao Bing has no choice but to let the child hang a saline bag every day. "Uncle, Dad will definitely come when I have the operation." The child looked at me innocently. I knew that his operation would be in three days, so I had no choice but to comfort him that Gao Bing would definitely come.At this time, the child looked at the door and shouted happily: "Dad!" Li Duo and I turned around quickly, and sure enough, Gao Bing was at the door, but this time he didn't wear sunglasses, in fact, his eyes didn't look like a vicious person.But he stood at the door without moving, his hand was still on the doorknob, he looked at me very vigilantly, and then at the child. It seemed necessary to reassure him first and let him know that we did not care about him or the child. malicious. "Let's go out and talk." I raised my hand and made a gesture of invitation. Gao Bing hesitated for a while, and then retreated. I asked Li Duo to chat with the child, and I started talking with Gao Bing. We were silent with each other for a few minutes, Gao Bing finally spoke first, his voice was very soft, and he looked at his son from time to time while speaking. "Since you have found this place, you must have understood something." "Yes, I know you have a hard time, but those two architects are too innocent." I stared into his eyes, and he looked back at me, but quickly dropped them again. "Luo Xing seems to know you." I continued to ask.Gao Bing nodded, raised his head again in pain, and said to me after a while: "He and I used to be friends. But I can't help it. Luo Xing doesn't want money, and insists on making the design drawings public. I also need to disclose the secrets of the building, so that I won’t get a penny. My son is only a teenager. Let alone him, even an adult can’t stand dialysis every day. He still wants to go to school. This kind of danger I don’t want to use this trick anymore, but it has been passed down from generation to generation in the family. From the time of birth, as long as you have a shadow, it will follow you. If you don’t learn it, you will die.” This should refer to that God beast shadow bite it. "Luo Xing withdrew halfway through the construction, because Jin Boming insisted on laying down four stone monuments at the foundation. He said it was called the Four God Formation. According to the directions of Suzaku, Baihu, Xuanwu, and Qinglong, it can be controlled here. Unjust souls can even drive them. But Luo Xing later told me quietly that he found that this is not the case at all. The construction of the floors is very dangerous. The position of the building is reversed, so that the water flows upstream, and many trees are planted in front of the main entrance of the building, facing the road, and the ceilings of the rooms are laid in the shape of a rectangular coffin, etc. In short, there are many taboos. In short, he does not understand what Jin Boming wants to do. But as long as anyone who lives in the building will be unlucky, ranging from losing money to losing their lives, so he wants to use the blueprints and evidence to announce it to the public. Jin Boming doesn't know where he got it. Promise 300,000 yuan to take back all the design drawings and evidence and kill the main designers at that time. I asked Luo Xing out a few days ago and tried to persuade him to give up, but he refused, we had a quarrel, and finally I went down Determined to kill him. Afterwards, he killed Yu Sihai, who was also Luo Xing's college classmate, and the two planned to report on Jin Boming together. Afterwards, I got 200,000 to pay the operation fee. The remaining two were also scared. When we arrive, hand over all the design drawings and promise not to take care of this matter. This is all the truth." Gao Bing sighed after finishing speaking.In fact, I sympathize with him very much. It is indeed difficult to choose between justice and son. "You can call for everyone's help. I can help you report your son's difficulties. You shouldn't choose such an extreme method." "Reporting? I saw that when the building was built, journalists like you swarmed like flies around Jimbo and that rotten egg. You would care about this kind of unknown and profitable thing, and there are enough of it now, and you want to get it through donations. The surgery fee is nothing short of a dream." Gao Bing's words left me speechless, sometimes it is so cruel. "So what are you going to do now? Let the building get built and make more people like your son or worse than your son?" I challenged him.Gao Bing smiled wryly and shook his head. “我管不了别人了，你要报警也可以，不过你没任何证据，反正儿子手术费拿到了，过几天手术接受他恢复了我就会离开这个城市。其他的事我无能为力了。”说完推开我走进病房和儿子说笑。我在门外看着这队父子很难受，既无助又觉得可恨。想让高兵帮忙是不可能了。我们只有靠自己，别让人进驻大楼，否则的话受伤害的人就太多了。 高兵警告我们，千万别去找金博名的麻烦，自己很早就认识他，这人很阴险。我谢过他，和李多走出医院。临走前高兵的儿子挥着小手热情的向我们告别。 我把高兵的话转告给李多，她不屑的哼了声，晃悠着脑袋笑着说：“别怕，不就个暴发户么，本姑娘本事大着呢，明的不行我们晚上去大楼，看看能搞点什么资料证据什么的。”我觉得好笑，她跟孩子似的想当然，不过在想想也有道理，金博名自己为了做广告把办公室提前放进去了，他现在天天在那里监督工程进度，说不定真能搞点什么。既然说定，我和她约好晚上一起去那栋大楼。 十点后，我们如约在大楼外见面。不过大门外还是有几个门卫看守，我正不知道怎么办，她忽然笑着说：“用镜妖吧，可以催眠他们。”我一惊，她为什么知道的。问李多她也只是笑。我也就不问了，让镜妖去。 很顺利，门卫虽然还站在那里，但眼神却很呆滞，我们走了进去，等完全脱离他们视野后收回了镜妖。 金博名的办公室在１１楼，这楼总共２１楼，他的办公室正好在中间。楼层是个圆形的，我们乘坐电梯上去。办公室虽然亮着灯，但通过镜妖的观察里面没有人，看来是个好机会，而且门也没锁，看来金博名似乎有事出去了。李多把风，我小心的走了进去。 办公室的落地玻璃旁边有张办公桌，我赶紧走过去开始查找，可惜都是物价报表和合同副本之类的东西，我有点着急，不知道他是否随时会回来。我还在翻找，但镜妖忽然又开始不安起来，我回望四周却什么也没发现，李多也在外面没有出声，我以为没事，却不料猛的感觉后背有东西。 居然是金博名，与我第一次见他不同，这次他穿着一条西装，用摩丝涂抹的头发整齐的向后梳着，露出大而发亮的额头，那双死鱼眼睛带着嘲弄地看着我。但他怎么进来的。李多呢？ “别担心了，外面的小女孩还在那里傻傻的发呆呢，门是隔音的，你进来的时候我就知道了，不过想看看你想干什么。果然还是来找证据么？”他哈哈笑了起来，随手走到旁边，对着墙壁抚摩了下，忽然墙壁向前推动出来，居然是个酒柜，他随意的倒了杯红葡萄酒，很惬意的喝了起来，坐在椅子上看着我。 “你太不小心了，高兵没有提醒你么？不过他还真是靠不住，果然像他那样的人是无法继承影族。更不配使用界罗。” “我进来的时候没看见你啊。”我站里在原地，虽然他依旧微笑着坐在那里，但我感到非常大的压力。 “不是只有高兵会使用影子的，我甚至可以完全把自己融入影子中，高兵不过是把界罗当工具，他厌恶界罗，但我不同，自从我发现这个后我便迷上了它，迷上了它无穷的力量。二十年前我在这里出生。旁边的邻居都瞧不起我，说我是个痞子，是坨烂泥，他们养的狗都比我吃的好，我父亲死后母亲把我抛弃在这片居民区，我象野狗一样靠讨饭活了下来。不过我可不甘心这样，我没打算烧死那么多人，不过是想吓吓他们，结果风助火势，没料想全烧掉了。”原来是他放的火，按照岁数来看，当年他不过十几岁啊，一脸和善微笑的他比恶魔还可怕。 “后来我辗转认识了高兵，并学到了影术，你应该知道本来他们只传授族人，但是族长说我的眼睛里充满了阴影，他能感觉我身上和界罗一样的气息，我是练习这个术的最佳人选，他瞒着所有族人传授了我影术。”说着他站了起来，打开大门，李多被他的一群手下抓了进来，而且居然还有高兵和他儿子。 “你是个记者是吧，很可惜明天报纸上就要刊登你的死讯了。你们以为背着我？其实我全都知道，高兵的一举一动我都了解。我像看小丑一样观察你们的表演。不过我腻味了，现在你们会作为完成这个四尸楼的最后祭品。”说着他对手下一指，我也利马被捆了起来。四人被带到地下室，地下室是个巨大的正方形，在四个角落各有四个雕象。 “这里死了很多人，这个地下室就是原来被烧掉居民区的旧址，但是死的人多反而更可以利用。把你们四个的灵魂永久的镇在这里，所有入住这栋楼的人他们的命相与运气都会向中间的我涌来，我会成为这世界最富贵最有权势的人。哈哈哈哈。”金博名有点疯狂了，他站在空旷的地下室举起双手高喊。他的手下也呆呆的看着他。 高兵愤怒的喊到；“你疯了是不是？你逼我用界罗杀人也算了，你难道真想害死那么多人？四尸楼的后害谁也不知道，不过是族里的传说而已，你居然当真？” 我转问高兵：“他到底想把我们怎么样？”高兵恐惧的说：“他会在影子中直接让界罗出来吃掉我们的影子，我们会像活死人一样，没有知觉但又不会死，然后在这里慢慢烂掉，灵魂也永远驻守在这里。” “没错。你们很快就会看到界罗了，很难得呢，上古的神兽。”金博名说的很得意。 “你不是也可以控制界罗么？”我问倒在我旁边的高兵，高兵黯然道：“我不过是控制界落的一部分，真正能完全驱使它的人我们族里从来没有过，传说只有连灵魂都黑暗的人才会完全和他相通并驱使它。”金博名果然完全疯掉了。我又看了看李多，她却依旧笑着，也不说话，我心里觉得有点内疚，把她也拖了进来。 地下室亮起了强光，金博名在地上投出一道长长的黑影。他从怀里拿出一只类似草药的东西，在灯光下照的透明的，叶子很多，每片叶子都是椭圆形。 “影木。”高兵脱口而出。金博名对手下挥了挥手，示意他们下去，接着走到高兵面前。 “对，是影木，是界罗最喜欢的食物。不过就算你也没见过界罗的全貌吧，今天你们真有眼福呢。”说着他居然自己把影木吞了下去。金博名的喉结上下翻滚了一下。紧接着他抱着头开始剧烈的喘息，然后是高声嚎叫，折腾了好一阵子，躺在地上不动了。我以为他死了，不过我发现他的影子在变形。慢慢的扩散开，越来越大，地下室差不多有半个足球场那么大，他的影子几乎快有一半了。 影子停止扩散，但中间开始有东西浮了起来，先是个黑色的角，巨大的身躯也开始慢慢出来，它的脊背上长了对类似蝙蝠的肉翅，长长的躯干几乎有六七米长，头部很大，但似乎没有眼睛，只有一双大嘴，四肢短小，全身漆黑的。这时候李多忽然站了起来。她居然挣脱了绳索，不过界罗已经开始向我们慢慢靠拢了。金博名依旧倒在地上，动也不动。 李多的手上也多了束草，但和影木不一样，它几乎和普通的草药没什么两样，有点像金钱草。她马上解开了我们的绳子。 “这是洞冥草。”李多似乎看出了我的疑问。高兵的儿子现在已经昏迷了，透析每过８小时就要更换盐水。要不然一样会中毒。高兵看到李多的草药，也惊讶道：“你怎么会有洞冥草？”李多笑而不答。反转过来拿着草对着界罗，界罗忽然不动了，难道它害怕洞冥草？ “洞冥草是圣草，只要折断就能发光，食用后可以见鬼神，界罗是靠阴影活着的，自然很害怕，不过这个还不足以对付他。”李多说到这里停顿了下，果然界罗又开始像我们靠近，虽然比刚才慢，但地上的影子越来越近了。 “我知道，需要在他吞噬影子的时候，被吞噬的人吃下折断的洞冥草是吧？”高兵忽然夺过洞冥草折断后吞了下去。 李多来不及阻止他，高兵哭着看了看儿子，他抱起儿子交给我，“我罪孽太深，这种杀人术也不该在流传下去，还好我儿子与它无关，他明天手术，问起我就说我去远行了。别告诉他我是个杀过人的罪人。这是我唯一的要求。”我张了张嘴想说点什么，但什么也说不出来，李多也站在我身后无语。 界罗脚底的阴影离我们很近了，高兵猛的扑过去，忽然金博名爬了起来，死死抱住高兵的腿，他的脸变的好可怕，皮肤全变成黑色了，也说不出话，只是死死拖住。高兵奋力把金博名拉开，我们想过去帮忙，高兵把手一挥：“别过来！记住照顾我儿子！”说完朝界罗冲过去。 高兵很快融了进去。但界罗似乎没有反应，可是没过多久它不动了，身体的中心开始有光射出来，接着整个躯干开始龟裂，所有的影子像被撕烂了到出都是。最后消失的无影无踪。我们走过去看看金博名，他圆睁着眼睛，牙齿咬着嘴唇，全身乌黑断气多时了。高兵的尸体也在旁边，不过他走的很安详，没有遗憾。 高兵的儿子情况也不好，打开门，金博利的狗腿子好对付，我用镜妖让他们看了出好戏。 还好时间不长，医生手忙脚乱的换过盐水。过了会他醒了，看见我们很开心，他告诉我们下午我们走后自己被一群人带走了，接着父亲也被威胁抓了起来，后来自己晕过去了。虽然他再三询问高兵的去向，我们只好瞒着他，说高兵去为他买术后喜欢的食物去了，他相信了，又睡了过去。我和李多走出了病房。 李多走在我前面，看着她的背影，我忍不住问到：“你到底是什么人。你所知道的东西超过了你这个年纪和身份的范畴啊。” 李多摸了摸耳环，把手别到身后，“其实我早认识你了。你是纪颜哥哥最要好的朋友吧。”她居然认识纪颜？ “好吧，我重新介绍下自己，李多，大四学生，在我的未婚夫的影响下也喜欢研究中国民风民俗和神话传说。” “等等。”我做了个打断的手势，“你说谁是你未婚夫？” 她撅着小嘴说：“难道纪颜哥哥没告诉你？我是他未婚妻啊。”我听完几乎笑晕过去，那个呆子不是号称对女人没兴趣么，居然还有个未婚妻，而且从来没听他提起啊。 李多没注意我的表情，接着说；“其实我是靠纪颜哥哥资助才上大学的，我很喜欢他啊，不过他总说我太小了，那我问她什么时候娶我，他总说以后以后，后来他又说毕业在说，那你说我不是他未婚妻是什么？”看着她一本正经我真的忍不住了。 “算了，看来那些知识都是纪颜教你的了？我不和你争你的身份，下个月纪颜回来，等他来了你们好好说清楚吧。” “是啊，纪颜哥哥交代我，在暗处看着你，他说你容易出事，虽然有镜妖，但还是不放心，果然还是差点送命了，不过我找你的时候没告诉你，怕你不相信我。”纪颜果然考虑周到啊，可惜居然还让个女孩来保护我。 我和李多谈了谈，她告诉我她不知道自己亲身父母是谁，自己在小的时候就是纪颜父母帮助长大的，后来纪颜父母去世，自然这个责任又交个了纪颜。原来是这样，有这么漂亮的未婚妻难怪他对其他人没兴趣了。 第二天做手术，高兵的儿子死活不肯进去，说不看到爸爸绝不做，医生也没办法，想给他打镇静剂，可他居然把针头拔了出来，一边哭一边喊爸爸。 “我来吧，”我让医生们都出去。镜妖听了我的指示进入了那孩子，孩子先是呆了一下，随即抱着我。“爸爸，你终于来了啊。” “恩，我会在外面等你，爸爸相信你能坚强的做完手术的。”孩子听完乖乖的躺在床上，我则叫医生进来，他们有点惊讶，刚才的还那么固执现在则像兔子一样躺在床上。在进手术间的时候我朝他竖了竖大拇指，他也回敬一个。 “你让他看到幻觉了吧，把你当他爸爸了。”李多在旁边问。 我点点头，作为高兵最后一个要求我没理由不尽力完成，至于以后怎样，到时候在说吧。走出医院的时候，发现阳光特别灿烂，身后的影子还在，不过，影子始终只能跟在人后面，只要心中别别黑暗占领，自己也不会被影子吞噬。金博名的大楼别重新翻建了。李多笑着望着我，“看来纪颜哥哥说的没错呢。” “他说我什么？”我也笑着反问。 “他说你很善良，和你在一起，本来性格沉默的他也会很开心。”看着这个活泼的女孩，我总觉得的她的相貌很熟悉，似曾相识，但却想不起来，或许是我太多心了吧。
