Chapter 27 The Bottom of the Lake
I lay down on the table of the coffin shop out of boredom. Although I had made great promises during the day, I still had no clue at all.
Soul gathering requires a medium, but I spent too much spiritual energy during the day and didn't even bother to check around, let alone determine what her other souls were trapped in.
Watching the little paper wandering around in the shop, I asked: "Xiaozhi, do you have other functions besides drawing talismans?"
The little paper stopped and turned to look at me: "I... forgot."
With the last glimmer of hope dashed, I finished writing today's spells without much interest and started flipping through the book to look for other ways to gather souls.
I was so sleepy today that I fell asleep reading a book before twelve o'clock.
In a daze, I felt as if something was touching my head. The touch was cold, yet very gentle.
The next day, when I opened my eyes, I found the little paper staring at me again.
Fortunately, after the last experience, I was mentally prepared, so this time I just sat up after being stunned for a moment.
By the way, why am I on the bed in the lounge?
"Dad is here so early?"
Generally speaking, only my father would be so considerate as to move me back to bed.
Xiaozhi said nothing, still just looking at me.
I scratched my head and walked out. There was still no one in the shop, but someone kindly helped me close the door of the shop.
Is this haunted?
By the way, speaking of ghosts, I do have one here...
"Xiaozhi, could it be you?" I turned around and looked.
When she heard me calling her, she nodded immediately.
Judging by the way she nodded, I was even a little afraid that she would just click the paper man's head off.
I squatted down and poked her head: "Why didn't I know you were so strong?"
Just when my fingers touched her appearance, I realized that there seemed to be something real inside her paper-like shell, which was cold and semi-liquid.
My hand suddenly froze.
"You...actually have a physical entity? What on earth are you?"
I quickly took two steps back to maintain a safe distance.
Xiaozhi tilted his head and thought for a moment, and there was no emotion in the painted eyes: "I am Xiaozhi."
It seemed that asking was in vain as she had no intention of telling me.
Sighing, the sun was already shining outside and it was time to go out.
"Okay, no matter who you are, I probably can't beat you anyway.
I'm going out now, you better hide yourself and don't scare my dad."
Xiaozhi looked a little surprised when I walked out the door, but then he replied: "Okay."
Although I didn't find out how to gather souls without using a medium yesterday, I discovered a place I hadn't noticed before.
I used to think that places surrounded by non-living water just had poor feng shui, but I found out from the book that I had misunderstood.
In a good Feng Shui like the Sun Family Villa, if a certain link is defective, then that area will become a gathering place for the surrounding yin.
Therefore, even the scattered souls must leave clues there.
Before going out, I used the phone in the store to call Li Yuan. When he heard what I said, he was a little surprised for a moment.
But when I arrived at the lakeside of the villa area, he had been waiting there for a while, and there was a sad-looking uncle behind him. Judging from the sign on his chest, it should be the property of this place.
"Master, are you sure you want to drain this water today? This is not a small project, and the boss hasn't said anything yet. If nothing is found in a while, I will be responsible."
He looked anxious, and I hesitated for a moment whether I should step forward or not.
But Li Yuan had already seen me and waved: "Little friend Xiaozhi, you are finally here."
I could only bite the bullet and walk over.
When the property manager saw me, the expression on his face became even worse. I suspected that if he hadn't been in front of Li Yuan, he might have been ready to drive me away.
He looked at Li Yuan seriously and said: "***, I agreed to find someone for you because you designed this place. If you tell me, you are here because of this child."
We have put so much effort into this, and now I have to respond to it."
Li Yuan was not to be outdone: "This is a commission from Mrs. Sun. What? Do you want your boss to discuss it with Mrs. Sun?"
"You!" When the property manager heard Mrs. Sun's name, his expression suddenly changed.
Finally, he waved his hand and turned away: "Forget it, I'm just a property manager. Where did all these things come from? Just let them go if you want. I'm not responsible anyway!"
When they saw the supervisor, the other property owners who were brought in to help looked at each other, but they didn't dare to leave because Li Yuan was watching from the side.
Li Yuan rubbed his brows, changed his expression to a gentler one, turned his head and said to me: "Little friend, I'm kidding you. Your previous news came in such a hurry, I'm not ready yet, I'm really sorry."
I waved my hand quickly: "Don't dare, I should be the one to apologize. It's just a guess that has caused you so much trouble. It's because I didn't think carefully. By the way, the property management here has such a bad temper. How come I heard Mrs. Sun
Just give up the name?"
"Don't underestimate Mrs. Sun. Although she is alone, the Sun Group she manages is now one of the top groups in our Jiangnan District. The boss of this community certainly does not dare to offend her."
Although I guessed that Mrs. Sun was rich, I didn’t expect that she was so rich!
While sighing secretly in my heart, I began to look at the surrounding situation.
As mentioned in Daochang Chen's book, although the water in this lake that I had not paid attention to before was relatively clear, there were evil spirits gathering around it.
And from somewhere underwater, traces of resentment are emerging.
"Then let's start draining water now. Grandpa Li, you pay attention to the northeast and I will pay attention to the southwest. If there is anything unusual, we will notify each other."
Li Yuan nodded, then walked aside and waited.
This artificial pond seems to be bottomless, but in fact it is not very deep. Drainage does not take much time at all, but it was completely emptied in half a day, leaving only a lake bed of mud.
Only then did we discover that there was not a single fish in this large pond, at most there were only some fish bones in it.
"Why, how could it be possible? I was feeding the fish yesterday..."
"It is said that there is a special koi carp here that the boss spent a lot of money to buy, but now it is gone."
"It's over, I'm going to be fired now."
Suddenly, a girl's cry came from the mud of the lake bed, which was originally calm.
The real estate agents nearby also felt the strangeness and did not dare to discuss it any further.
