Chapter 157: The Great Commission

I was worried that my tone just now was a little too hasty and might anger him.

The figure seemed to be stunned, and turned his head to look at me, his eyes full of disbelief.

"Are you...are you the little boss on the train?"

I stared at his face for a while, and then I recognized him. He turned out to be the man I had chatted with on the train before. His name was Hu Qi.

I nodded, still a little scared, and didn't get close to him.

"Please sit down for a while and I'll make you a cup of tea."

As I said that, I looked at him, and he was soaked from head to toe.

Every step he takes leaves a red footprint on the newly laid white stone bricks.

When I put the tea on the table, he still looked a little embarrassed.

I saw his hand shaking slightly as he picked up the teacup.

After he finished a drink, the pale look on his face softened a lot.

Then I said, "What happened? Tell me slowly. Don't be anxious."

He glanced at the door and made sure it was locked before whispering: "I hit a ghost!"

I was quite nervous at first, but when I heard what he said, I immediately relaxed.

I haven’t seen this thing very often?

"I met it at an intersection. It was covered in blood. I was so frightened that I started running, and before I knew it I was here."

I had some doubts: "Where?"

He pointed tremblingly out of the window: "Right there, on top of the crooked-neck tree, are two ghosts covered in blood."

I glanced outside and was a little surprised: "There are no crooked-neck trees near my house."

When I come back during the day, I only need to walk straight to get there.

The man took a look and found that there was no crooked-neck tree outside the window. He was also very panicked. He stammered and quickly explained: "Believe me... I was really chased by those two guys for a long distance. Fortunately, I hit them by mistake."

I bumped into you."

I touched my chin and said thoughtfully: "Are you here to find me?"

He nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes."

It seems like something is trying to prevent him from coming to my place.

The two ghost figures...the missing Xiao Hua and Shen Li made me feel a knot in my heart.

But I didn't show it on my face: "It's okay. Now that you are in our store, I can keep you safe. Please tell me first, what are you here for?"

After hearing this, Hu Qi was doubtful and took out a black envelope from his arms.

"Little boss, did you receive this today?"

I recognized it the moment he took out the envelope.

Isn't this the kind of black envelope Zhong Ling gave me?

I nodded: "I got it, what? What is this thing..."

As I said that, I took out the black envelope I was carrying.

When he saw it, the somewhat vigilant look on his face immediately softened: "Okay, okay, do you also have a mobile phone in this envelope?"

I nodded: "How do you know?"

He sighed: "Hey, it seems like it's fate."

When I was still confused, he explained: "Are you still a newcomer? This envelope is a special envelope for large commissions from the Gate of Life and Death. The mobile phone in the envelope is what the client uses to determine our location and keep in touch."

The commissions of the Gate of Life and Death use color depth to distinguish prices, and black is the highest grade.

I touched the back of my head: "Commission? I don't remember what commission I received..."

Suddenly I remembered the evil smile on Zhong Ling's face when she handed me the envelope.

Depend on!

I have been tricked!

I was a little dumbfounded, rubbed my brows, and asked without giving up: "Is there any way to return this commission?"

Hu Qi's face was full of doubts: "Brother, are you serious? This kind of commission may not be seen once in several years. After taking an order, as long as it passes the test of the client, you can get something that most people can't make in their lifetime.

The money I got..."

I waved my hand: "How can such a good thing happen? This kind of entrustment must be very difficult. If I risk my life in it, wouldn't it be worth the loss?"

This man also had an envelope in his hand, but he looked like he was afraid of ghosts. He must have obtained this commission through other means and wanted me to give him a ride.

When he heard what I said, his face was stunned, and then he smiled: "Little boss, you are really smart. Don't worry, I am not the kind of ungrateful person. Although I have never seen any ghosts, but

I am well-informed and have been formally invited by the client."

He then explained to me that ordinary people can choose to withdraw from these commissions after passing the trial.

I touched my chin. Although Hu Qi's attitude was a bit strange, I was indeed somewhat interested in the huge bonus he was talking about.

"Okay, then tell me, what is this trial?"

Hu Qi heard my promise and patted his thigh: "Hey, that's right. But I don't know what this trial is. Anyway, I'm not familiar with this place, so I'll let you rest here first."

Two days?”

I glanced at him speechlessly, but he looked very natural and was already ready to go upstairs.

He was still mumbling: "Boss, your place is really nice. It's a bit like a big boss's home I've seen..."

I explained to him where the daily necessities and other things were, and then returned to the first floor.

I stretched myself. I have been busy for a long time tonight.

Before I knew it, I fell asleep on the counter.

When I woke up again, everything was pitch black.

I rubbed my eyes, thinking I hadn't woken up yet.

"This is where?"

As soon as I finished asking, someone next to me covered my mouth.

I looked back with horror.

It's Hu Qi.

"Boss, please keep your voice down, our place is haunted, and it's looking for us."

By this time, my eyes had adapted to the darkness a little, so I could see the surrounding environment clearly.

The place looks like it's on an ordinary bus.

We were hiding in the last row of the bus, and there were several ferocious-looking people sitting neatly next to us. Their eyes were wide open, and their expressions were frozen with the blood on their faces.

As far as I can see, almost everyone is like this.

"What is this place?" I asked in a low voice.

He shook his head: "This is probably the trial location they were talking about."

I was stunned: "Didn't I sleep at home before? How did I get here?"

After saying that, I quickly touched my body and found that my schoolbag and vajra were there.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

"I don't know, I was still taking a shower, and suddenly my vision went dark, and here we are."

I looked back and saw that it was still wearing my bathrobe and a pair of paper slippers, which looked very funny.

"How long have you been awake?" I put my hand on the vajra and looked around.

I heard some sounds that made my skin stand on end.

The sound of teeth severing muscles and crushing bones.
