Chapter 4 Chapter 4 Masked Tribulation

Xiaodai finally left the mountain area. His fine clothes were dirty and torn. The place where he came out happened to be Xiangyang City in the opposite direction from Pingyang County. Seeing the county gate, he almost screamed with joy, as if he had seen a whole table of delicacies waiting for him, and was thinking about how to swallow the whole table of delicacies. Just as he stepped onto the official road and was about to take a big step, a big girl dressed as a maid came out from the nearby woods and walked towards him. He stopped moving half a step, because Xiaodai knew that the big girl must be coming towards him, after all, there was not even a ghost around at the moment.

"Is this son's surname Wang? People call him 'Kaishou Xiaodai'?" When seeing a beautiful woman, every man will pay more attention to his eyes. Xiao Dai didn't just glance at it twice, he just "seductively" quietly there. When he sees beautiful women, Xiaodai has a habit of saying a few witty words and eating harmless tofu. His philosophy towards women is "fair but not obscene". So all the delicious delicacies on the table suddenly turned into tofu, braised in soy sauce, cold, spicy, and even bean curd, tofu nao.... This is tofu delivered to your door.

"My surname is Wang, and I'm also called 'Kuaishou'. Xiaodai is only my friend's nickname for me. How does the girl know?" "Since your surname is Wang and you are also called 'Kuaishou Xiaodai', then you can't be wrong. My wife would like to ask you to come and see me, but please spare the time." "Who is your wife? How did he know that I would be here? Why does he want to see me?" Xiaodai asked a series of questions. "These are all questions that I can't answer. Please forgive me. I think you will understand everything when you get to the ground."

"Don't you say? I'm sorry, I'm not used to dating a stranger." Xiao Dai took a step forward. "You're scared?" "No, I'm hungry. Once a person's stomach is hungry, he has no interest in anything, let alone eating tofu and not being full." She couldn't understand the meaning of the nonsense, but the eldest girl said anxiously: "You are hungry, my master already knew about it and prepared a feast." Xiaodai had already walked away, but he smiled and said: "There is no such thing as a free lunch, I would rather spend my own money to treat myself."

Smart people know this truth, so Xiao Dai seldom invites guests to treat him. "There is no good meeting, and there is no good banquet." What the old man said, Xiao Dai kept it in his heart. Therefore, he would rather spend money to please himself, because first, he has a lot of money.Second, you don't have to look at anyone's face, and third, you can order all the dishes you like.Even if you like tofu, you can order a table of all kinds of tofu, and no one else can control it. The eldest girl took out a mirror and flashed a few times towards the city gate towards the sun, but Xiao Dai didn't see it because his back was facing the eldest girl.

After entering Xiangyang City, Xiao Dai walked towards the largest restaurant. As soon as he arrived at the door, he was blocked by the welcoming man standing at the door. Looking at my messy appearance, I can imagine that I haven't washed or shaved for a few days. That appearance must be scary.Dare to feel that this little dog looks down on people, and treats me as a freeloader. Without saying a word, he shook his hand and took out a piece of silver worth about thirty taels, shaking it in front of the man. "Sorry, the store is full, please go to another place!" The words are not only polite, but also reasonable.

No matter how dissatisfied Xiao Dai was, he had no choice but to move away. I really didn't expect such a strange thing to happen. There are still towns in this world where money can't buy food. Xiaodai has already run to five restaurants and restaurants with the ingot of silver. It must have been the same answer. I was very angry and hungry, and my legs were even tired from walking. suddenly-- Xiao Dai saw a noodle stall in Hudong, with a big sign saying "Authentic Beef Noodles". Laughing, tossing and catching the money in his hand, everything was stable, and Xiao Dai walked towards the stall, humming a little song again.

The bursts of beef smelled tangy, so energetic, his nose moved, and Xiao Dai waited for the boss to come down, his saliva almost dripping out. "Damn, I don't believe that if you have money, you won't be able to buy something to eat. The big restaurants and the small restaurants are all full. Well, we Xiaodai are not afraid of dizziness. The beef noodles at the stall can also fill your stomach. Pity me This Wu Zang Temple is not only in disrepair for a long time, but it is almost collapsed!" Xiaodai muttered, waiting for the extra-large bowl of beef noodles to be served in front of him.

Xiaodai was very happy in his heart, because after being hungry for five days, he could eat a bowl of hot and spicy beef noodles, how could he not be happy? There was a sound of hoofbeats, and they rushed into this hole like a drum. At the same time, there was a yell of chicken feathers, from the mouth of the thin man on the horse. "Get out of the way! The people in front get out of the way! This horse is crazy, I can't control it anymore!..." What an anxious voice, what a thrilling scene. The other two diners at the stall and Xiaodai had already left their seats and stood against the wall. The boss had just put the extra-large bowl of beef noodles on the table, and he was so frightened that he turned around and leaned against the wall. too" word. (It’s okay if you want to.) In fact, it’s just the boss’s belt hanging down. It seems that the boss’s belt is left very long to wipe the table.

Xiaodai was dumbfounded, this incident was too outrageous. After five days of starvation, I ran all over the restaurants on the street and couldn't get anything to eat with my money. I finally found this "open-air restaurant", where I could eat the extra-large beef noodles. However, there was such a coincidence, a crazy horse, a reckless man, a burst of noise, beef soup and beef noodles all over the place, a messy scene. Of course, Xiaodai had to continue to be hungry. What is dumbfounding?What is irony? This is what Xiaodai looks like now. Finished means that everything is finished.

It's much better to not know whether to cry or laugh than to want to cry without tears. So Xiaodai stuffed the silver in his hands into the arms of the beef noodle seller. He was such a person, he couldn't see others being sad, although he should be the one who was sad now. Money is not everything, and there are things that cannot be bought. Xiaodai regretted it, regretted why he didn't let people treat him just now, if he knew this, he would rather have a meal, even if "the banquet is not a good one", at least he can fill his stomach first. Walking and thinking all the way, Xiao Dai thought of the big girl who blocked the way just now. "Do you want noodles? Come to my house, and I'll eat it for you." Xiao Dai saw the big girl at the entrance of Hudong, and the thin man riding a crazy horse behind the big girl. The horse didn't seem to be crazy at all now, and the man didn't have the panic expression just now. Seeing two people and a horse opposite, Xiao Dai is really an idiot if he doesn't understand.Xiao Dai is not an idiot, on the contrary, he is very smart and quick to respond, so he smiled, imitating Li Yuanwai's way of laughing. "Would the beef noodles below you taste better than the beef noodles just now?" Xiao Dai smiled in his heart, but said seriously. "Of course, and I will cook you a bowl of beef noodles ten times bigger than what you ordered just now, but I don't know if you want to eat it or not?" "Think, think, I really want to eat your beef noodles now, shall we go to your house now?" Some people say that even if your hen lays a few eggs today, the beggars will know. This is not necessarily true, but it also proves that the beggars have many eyes and ears and are well-informed. When Li Yuanwai received the report that there was a disheveled man in Xiangyang City who didn't eat beef noodles, but instead stuffed an ingot of thirty taels of silver to the noodle seller, he hurried on the road. Went to Xiangyang City. Thirty taels of silver, not to mention eating a bowl of beef noodles, even buying a cow is not much worse.This kind of habit of looking down on other people's suffering and loving to spend money everywhere, who else can it be except Xiaodai? The problem is that Xiaodai has always been a person who likes to be clean and wear beautiful clothes, but this is not the same as the news that came. However, it is better to have hope than to have no hope. Now that there is no news after waiting for five days, Li Yuanwai has no choice but to go to find out whether the person is Xiaodai or not. Besides, Xiangyang City and Pingyang County are just a one-day round trip. The distance is not too far, it is better to actively search than to wait. Li Yuanwai left, and "Ghost Catcher" was the only one left in Pingyang County. Not long after Li Yuanwai left, the "Ghost Catcher" in the inn was drinking and asking wine alone in the room. With a flash of a figure, there was already a fair young man in a handsome shirt in the room. This person was also the one who dropped the copper coin that day, and because of the "ding" sound of the copper coin falling to the ground, the murderous spirit between Li Yuanwai and Young Mistress Yan was dispelled. "Guipu" was not surprised, as if he knew this person would come. "Sit down, Mr. Li just left." "I know, I watched him go out of the city gate." "Want a drink? I'll take the glass." "No, I'm not in the mood, you can drink alone." Who is this guy? He seems to be friends with "Ghost Catcher" Tie Chenggong. What secrets are there between them? And why did he wait until Li Yuanwai left before coming? He intentionally resolved the duel between Li Yuanwai and Young Mistress Yan, and why? What did this young man in Confucian shirts talk with "Ghost Catcher" in the room?Nobody knew; for the door was open. After a long time, this person walked out of the door of "Ghost Catcher" and said: "It's the same for you. This matter is not purely aimed at the Yan family. I suspect that there is a bigger conspiracy behind it. Since you have been involved in this whirlpool, your life may be in danger at any time." "I know, I have made up my mind to die." After the Confucian shirt boy left, the "ghost catcher"'s old face covered with wind and frost showed a blank look of sacrifice. What is he trying to do?Or had he expected something? The eldest girl was really eaten by Xiao Dai. That's not a bowl of beef noodles, but a whole pot of beef noodles. Can you imagine how much a person can eat after starving for five days? Five catties of noodles, six catties of beef, a whole pot of soup to take away, and not even a small piece of green onion left, all filled Xiaodai's stomach. Now, Xiao Dai is stroking his belly with both hands, he can't even stand up anymore.Xiaodai is thinner, and there are really few people who can match him in his ability to eat. He let out a sigh of satisfaction, and hiccupped two more times. Well, he was really full. He stood up reluctantly, stretched his waist, and Xiaodai began to browse the layout around the room and the big girl on the opposite side. And the man who just rode the horse. And the thin man and the big girl were also looking at Xiaodai with amazed eyes, because they really couldn't figure out how Xiaodai ate those noodles and beef. Usually, even five big men might not be able to eat all those things. "The expressions of the two of you are not very polite, but I don't blame you. I want to starve you for five days if I have a chance. I'm afraid you will never eat less than me. Well, I have never eaten in my life. Such a delicious beef noodle, uh—your work is really top-notch..." If a person can't eat enough, his old problem will recur.Xiaodai is such a person, he forgets to eat tofu when his eyes are black from hunger, let alone when he is full. "By the way, didn't you say that your wife invited me to a banquet? Why did you give me beef noodles? And where is your wife?" "Please wait a moment, my wife will be back soon, because the dishes are cold, so the feast will be withdrawn, no one thought when you will come! So I have to cook beef noodles for you to eat." The eldest girl replied crisply. "Can you tell me how you know I'm going that way, and are you waiting for me there?" "To be honest, we don't know which road you will come out from, but our wife has sent someone to guard every exit of the Black Mist Mountain. As long as you come out, we will wait for you." The eldest girl laughed. "Who is your wife? Can't you tell me now?" "yes. "It's tempting, but you can't give birth to a son!" The eldest girl is always a girl, so she blushed. "You...why do you talk like that?" "Really? I don't think there's anything wrong with saying that. If anyone wants you to punish me, can you tell me why all the small restaurants in Xiangyang City listen to you and dare not do my business." After being told the truth, the eldest girl said shyly: "Eighty percent of the businesses in the city are run by our master, and even if some are not our master's property, they all have business dealings with us. That's why you listen to us. Don't misunderstand, we didn't mean to punish you, but just wanted to invite you here, so we had to make such a bad move, please forgive me..." "It's no wonder, I thought I had entered the city of Bing, and no one wanted the white money delivered to my door. Looking at the style, layout, and decoration of this house, um... your master does have this ability. " Although this room is not very big, the decoration is magnificent and exquisite, and all the decorations are gold or silver, crystal palace lamps, sandalwood furniture, this is just a dining room, other rooms can be imagined . "Brother, what's your surname? Just now you performed really well! I think Lian Shaotang, the famous actor of the 'Begonia Opera Troupe', may not be as good at acting as you are!" The man who just rode a horse. The man blushed, but said generously: "Zhao Qi, I just laughed." Startled, Xiaodai said, "'Zipso' Zhao Qi?" "Don't dare." "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect that I would meet the number one master of 'Yushengmen' here. It's a pleasure to meet you, a pleasure to meet you." "It's easy to say." Soaking in the bathtub is a very enjoyable thing, but if you have many knots that cannot be untied and piled up in a mess in your heart, how can you enjoy it with peace of mind and experience the joy of taking a bath? After learning that the host would take two hours to come back, Xiao Dai followed the elder girl's suggestion to take a shower and freshen up first, which was something he wanted to do urgently, because he liked tidiness almost to the point of getting into the habit of cleanliness. Although Xiao Dai was soaking in the bathtub, he kept thinking about the problem.All kinds of things these days are like a revolving lantern at this moment, moving one scene after another, and the unguessable things are just such a chaotic pile that bothers him. He couldn't think of who was the hostess who invited him here? He also couldn't think of who the woman in black was going to kill him? He couldn't even imagine how Young Mistress Yan Da could follow her and lure him into the Black Mist Mountain, where even ghosts couldn't find it easily? And who is the woman who intercepted him on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Road? Is there any connection between these four women? Thinking of women, he laughed, because he thought of the big girl again, she was so pure and lovely, not only cooked a big pot of delicious beef noodles for himself, but also brought a whole plate of tofu for him. Xiao Dai is such a person, no matter what happens, he always thinks of women. Xiaodai, who was always smart, made a mistake this time, and it was ridiculously wrong. He regretted it, regretted that he should not have listened to the big girl's suggestion and took this bloody bath. He also hated himself for being so afraid of dirt, a little dirt wouldn't kill anyone, he vowed to get rid of his cleanliness habit in the future, and it wouldn't hurt to be a little sloppy like Li Yuanwai. If it was Li Yuanwai who replaced him, he wouldn't be fooled. If I were Li Yuanwai now, I would never shout that every day should not be done, and that the ground is not working. Just when Xiao Dai was about to come up from the tub, which was still soaking in the round wooden barrel, the eldest girl pushed open the door with a "bang". Without squinting, with a mocking smile on the corner of his mouth, he came in and went out. It wasn't a big deal at all, because Xiao Dai was in the bathtub all over, but the terrible thing was that when the big girl went out, not only did she take away the new clothes he had prepared, but she didn't even leave any old ones behind. Xiao Dai watched her every movement, he was really dazed. His throat was almost hoarse, as if all the people in the room had disappeared, and there was no echo. But Xiao Dai knew that they were all there, waiting to see his joke. It is only now that I know that taking a bath is such a painful thing. Xiaodai even imagined why people are not animals, and animals don't need to take a bath! I have always been quite confident in my intelligence, but now I realize that I am so stupid, so stupid that I can't even think of a way. "Why? Why? You should give a reason! Hey! Even if you are a prisoner, you are still wearing pants to listen to the magistrate in the court... Listen, if you don't bring my clothes in, I will scold you It's..." The big girl's face finally appeared, a smiling face. "Curse it! Scold it again! If you want to get lost in it, then scold it again!" Xiaodai kept silent and didn't dare to speak again, but her eyes were full of pleading, but she had already scolded this big girl from head to toe more than 800 times in her heart. "Want to know why I did this?" Xiaodai nodded hurriedly. "You're smart, aren't you? You should have guessed it, right?" Xiaodai nodded hastily, then shook his head again and again. "Huh? Aren't you very good at cursing people around corners? And you also say things that people don't understand? Why didn't you speak and became dumb?" Ganqing Xiaodai ate other people's tofu for a long time before, but now the eldest girl has turned her head and realized it, so she has the psychology of revenge. Secretly groaning bitterly, Xiaodai swore again, vowing that he would never dare to eat tofu from women casually and have a yellow accent. "Grandma, I didn't do it on purpose. I already know my mistake. I won't dare to do it again next time, okay?" Even my aunt yelled out, it was really hard for "Kaishou Xiaodai". "Dirty, do you still want to have a next time?" The eldest girl's almond eyes widened. "Yes, yes, I'm obscene, I'll pay for it now, girl, how about you? After torturing me for a long time, I should be relieved. Please, please, can you return the clothes to me?" Xiaodai almost didn't cry. road. "It's not that cheap, don't even think about it." "Could it be that you want to hold my clothes as a treasure?" Just finished speaking, Xiaodai was dumbfounded again, the so-called "The country is easy to change, but the nature is hard to change." The matter here has not been resolved, and Xiaodai's old problem has actually happened again. Wishing to bite off his own tongue, Xiao Dai stared at the big girl's reaction in astonishment. Sure enough, the eldest girl's face changed and she stomped her feet angrily. After putting down her clothes, the eldest girl stopped answering, but moved a chair and sat at the door. Xiaodai didn't dare to speak, the two just confronted each other like this, what an embarrassing scene, and what a wonderful scene. A man's skin must be thicker than a woman's. Xiaodai laughed again, and the smile was even more convoluted. The undeniable smile, um, was a bit charming, but of course it was not as hot as Li Yuanwai's smile. "Do you really like watching men take a bath?" Xiao Dai smiled. "Shameless!" "It must be because you like to see men without clothes?" "Dirty!" "Neither, so tell me, what do you mean by sitting here?" Tilting his head slightly, Xiaodai said with a giggle. "I just want to see your embarrassment and see when you will repent and be ashamed of your open mouth." Somewhat wary, the eldest girl really couldn't figure out how that nasty little fool was still laughing at this time. "Okay, there's nothing interesting about a man getting out of the bath, why don't you leave?" Xiaodai sighed. "Are you so shameless?" "I mean it, I don't think there's any shame in that because I told you I'm coming up." "Do you dare? Do you dare to be in front of a woman,-...naked..." "Then you can see if I dare." After speaking, Xiaodai really stood up. The girl didn't expect that Xiaodai really dared to stand up. When she saw Xiaodai's upper body exposed from the bathtub, she covered her eyes with her hands in fright, and ran away, even forgetting to take the clothes on the ground. This is how men and women are originally, one advances, the other retreats, one is rigid, and the other is soft. The one who advances is usually a man, while the one who retreats is usually a woman. So Xiao Dai stood up, and the eldest girl ran away. Xiao Dai won, in this war of wits between men and women. Of course, the elements of this victory are not very honorable. This is where men and women differ. If the positions are different, Xiaodai, no, any man will never run, even if he wants to run, he will run slowly, and he will definitely wait until the other person stands up completely and sees clearly, then he will run with unsatisfactory intentions open. Halfway between Pingyang County and Xiangyang City. In front of a forest of miscellaneous trees. Li Yuanwai looked at the black-clothed masked man in front of him, and stared at him without saying a word, feeling a little astonished. "Yuanwai Li, if you want to enjoy the rest of your life, you'd better leave Pingyang County." "Hey! Big brother, you covered your face in broad daylight and blocked my way. I was really shocked when Meng Guding said this! Of course I want to enjoy the rest of my life. , I am still very young, but what you said is too confusing, can you tell me why?" Li Yuanwai and Xiaodai said in the same tone. "Don't play tricks, you'd better believe my advice." "Really? If you don't tell me the reason, I'm afraid it will be difficult for me to obey." "Don't think that you are the only descendant of the 'King of Beggar', I say that because you are still young." The masked man said in a stiff voice. "you are my friend?" "No." The man in black said after a moment of astonishment. "Then you are my enemy?" "If you won't listen to me, then I'm your enemy." "I must know you. I have this feeling. Why don't you take off your mask? What are you afraid of?" Li Yuanwai asked. "Joke, why would I be afraid of you? I have my own reasons for covering my face. Cut the nonsense, are you going to leave Pingyang County or not?" "Suddenly I have an impulse, would you like to hear it? That is, I really want to see your true face. I bet you, don't deny it, I must have seen you." The words "I've seen you before" were still in the mouth, Yuanwai Li had already kicked seventeen legs, and the dog-beating stick with his right hand was dancing airtightly, and the five fingers of his left hand were all stretched out to attack the masked man. "Seize the enemy first" and "take the initiative to attack", Yuanwai Li will never forget these two words, especially when he knows that he must fight the opponent. So he strikes first. Unexpectedly, the other party would attack suddenly while he was talking. The masked man panicked in a hurry, and managed to survive this round of attacks. A masterpiece of dog-beating stick. Withdrawing the long sword behind him and attacking back, the masked man said angrily: "Mr. Li, you are so despicable, you just rely on stealing to become famous?" "Mask masked brother, how can you blame me? You can only blame yourself for not knowing my habit. When I fight with others, have you heard that I let others strike first?" Three moves and five moves were completed in one go, Li Wai Li didn't relax a bit, and attacked while talking. The masked man is indeed a top-notch expert. At the beginning, because he was unprepared, he was a little confused. After a few moves, he gradually regained his disadvantage. He used a sword with his left hand and a fist with his right hand. Evenly matched, the two sides played inextricably. The outsider Li Yu was more surprised when he fought, he found that his opponent not only had strong internal strength but also had strange sword moves, and his right hand would make sudden moves from time to time, sometimes as hard to guard against as if it came from Jiuyou.I have searched all over my memory, but I have never heard of a martial arts figure who uses a left-handed sword and can attack the enemy with a right fist at the same time. Fortunately, my "Eighteen Steps of Madness" can still barely protect myself, and every time I am in an emergency, I can also save myself from danger. The plaintiff became the defendant, and with the passage of time, Yuanwai Li gradually felt that the pressure imposed by his opponent was getting heavier.The first opportunity to seize the opportunity has now become passive. It is even more difficult for Xiang to seal the weird swordsmanship of the "seventy-two dog-beating sticks" known for its dexterity and chicness.Only today did he realize that this dog-beating stick is so heavy. On the other hand, the masked man not only regained the initiative, but also spoke while beating with spare energy. "Yuanwai Li, you and I have neither old nor new grievances. I really don't want to have a killer. As long as you can leave Pingyang County, what can't you do?" "You want me to leave Pingyang... county... and what's your intention?" Li Yuanwai gasped as he fought back. "You don't have to ask about these things. I'd like to advise you to say 'what's right and what's wrong is the result of being strong', and the consequences of being so early will often cause trouble to the upper body." "I understand what you... mean, but what about the Yan family... has nothing to do with you? You're not a dog... take a mouse, meddle in your own business?!" The offensive was stepped up, and the masked man seemed to be impatient. "This is you looking for death yourself, you can't blame anyone." At the same time, the murderous intent was revealed in his eyes, as if he wanted to kill Li, who was not a member of the staff. There is no coincidence in the fight between masters, it is completely head-to-head, whoever has the deepest skill and the best martial arts is the winner. Just when Li Yuanwai was powerless and didn't know how to deal with the continuous round of sword light from the masked man—— The two people who were fighting retreated at the same time and looked at the woman in white who spoke. Xu Jiarong, the woman who intercepted "Kaishou Xiaodai" on the Sichuan-Shaanxi Road appeared again, still so glamorous. The masked man trembled. Li Yuanwai was stunned. The reason why the masked man shuddered was that the figure and manner of the woman in white were very much like a person he had often heard. Li Yuanwai was astonished but because of the beauty of this woman.He is a man, a nineteen-year-old "big man". Big men like to look at beautiful women, not to mention that this beautiful woman seems to be "well-intentioned", and it's just the right time. "Ghost Catching" Tie Chenggong came to "Huiyan Villa" again. Now he is sitting in Young Master Yan's study again, with Father Qian still accompanying him. He wondered if he could wait for Young Master Yan today?Because old man Qian said that the young master had been out for a whole day and never came back. What's so good about a madman? Why does "Ghost Catching" come to "Return to Yanshanzhuang" again and again, as if it has to wait for the crazy Young Master Yan? This is a needle, an embroidery needle. Now the needle is nailed obliquely to the frame of the window—the window of Young Master Yiyan's study room. And "Ghost Catching" stared straight at the silver needle, as if it was not a needle, but an amazing book.A needle, an ordinary embroidery needle, what's so special about it? Even a golden needle!He shouldn't let the No. 1 arrester in the south of the Yangtze River lose his composure like this. But if this needle appeared in the study of a crazy man, it would reveal something mysterious. Because this is a study room and not an embroidery room, and the hostess is not there, so this needle should not be here. " Besides, the place where the needle appeared was not right, how could it be nailed obliquely to the edge of the window frame? This position is just above the height of a person's neck if the person happens to be standing by a window looking out. The most important thing is that I didn't find this needle when I came back. The memory and observation skills of "Ghost Catcher" should be beyond doubt. "Ghost catcher" thought of Li Yuanwai's words. ——The four people in Xiaobei Street all died under embroidery needles—— He couldn't hold his breath anymore, because this sentence seemed to prove that Young Master Yan might have encountered something, and was even killed and moved to another place. He simulated various postures in front of the window, and the conclusion he got was: ——If Young Master Yan stands in front of the window looking at the scenery outside, and someone hides behind the rockery outside the window, the embroidery needle shot by him will pass through Young Young Master Yan's temple and be nailed obliquely to the frame of the window, of course the strength of this person is great. "Ghost Catcher" carefully pulled out the needle and put it away in a hurry, he urgently needed to tell someone about it.
