Chapter 222 The trip was worth it (4000 words)(1/2)
A contract for the soul?
Su Bai's pupils shrank, realizing that things might be more strange and dangerous than expected!
The other couples also looked dull and opened their mouths and forgot to close them for a moment.
This has a very powerful impact on them who have just entered the industry, so they can't accept it for a while.
After hearing these words, Su Bai also had a flash of inspiration and quickly realized something: "That is to say, the inspection report I saw in the living room outside was not yours, but your granddaughter's?"
"That's right."
The old lady nodded, showing a hint of relief on her face.
"I was desperate at that time. Even though I knew it might be a scam, I agreed with the last glimmer of hope. After all, the other party's request was just a signature, and it didn't require money or anything valuable."
"After signing the contract, the mysterious man laughed in a scammer, and then said that my granddaughter's illness would improve within a week."
"And at the cost, I will die within three days of my condition getting better."
"I didn't believe it at first, but within two days, seeing my granddaughter's condition improve, I took me to the hospital for a check-up. I was surprised to find that my condition had improved to a great extent..."
"I know a miracle really happened!"
The old lady still cried with joy when she thought about it. She wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and her voice was trembling with joy. "It didn't take long before Yin'er's illness completely improved, and it basically did not affect her future life."
"But at the price, you're going to die." Su Bai looked at her with a complicated expression.
"That's right, but I, an old woman, have lived for so many years. What's the difference between living a few more years or a few less years? And Yin'er still has a long life in the future..."
The old lady said satisfied.
She felt that it was very profitable to exchange for life like this, and she had no regrets so far.
It's just a little regretful.
I regret that I was unable to witness my granddaughter's life when I grew up, and I was also worried about what my granddaughter's life would become without my care.
But no matter what, she believed that as long as she could survive, there would be hope for everything!
Su Bai is not easy to judge this, and it is understandable that this affection for his grandparents and grandchildren is deeply rooted in love, but such behaviors that deprive others of their lives or even predestined souls seriously provoke the dignity of the City God and must not be ignored.
What's more, he also wanted to figure out who the real murderer behind this was and what means he used to achieve this.
A mysterious item or a ritual?
"Have they said that what your soul wants to do after booking it?" Su Bai asked.
"No." The old lady shook her head, "they just said that there will be news within a month after I die, so I can just wait here."
"And they also said that even if I want to escape, it's useless. And I didn't want to escape, I just wanted to take advantage of this last time to accompany Yin'er..."
That being said, the old lady still has a strong reluctance in her eyes.
If she had a choice, she definitely didn't want to leave.
"One month?"
Su Bai estimated it for a moment and was shocked, "Isn't that the past few days?"
"Well, that's why I want to knit another sweater for my granddaughter before leaving..." the old lady nodded.
Su Bai asked curiously: "Have you not said how to take your soul away?"
"No……"
The old lady recalled it for a moment, shook her head and looked confused, "They just said that I could just wait."
"So strange? And so relaxed, I don't worry about you running away..." Su Bai glanced at the little girl outside who was already amused by the two female team members.
"Does it be that I feel that the monk can't run away from the temple, so I'm not worried?"
"This is possible, but I always feel it shouldn't be that simple."
People who can use such incredible conditions to exchange for exchanges have no reason to use such brainless and rough methods.
He pondered for a moment, and finally tried to ask: "Remember again, is there any special content on that contract."
“Special content?”
The old lady recalled it carefully, frowned, but she never found anything.
But just when she was about to deny it, she suddenly seemed to remember something and whispered in a little uncertainty: "There is one thing they stipulate that the place where I want to be buried after my death cannot be chosen at will, but must be in the Fengming Mountain cemetery on the outskirts of the city."
"Fengming Public Offer?!"
Su Bai's face suddenly changed, and he finally couldn't hold back.
He is very familiar with this place, and can even be said to be very impressed.
"Ghost Banquet!"
Even when I look back now, I still feel a little scared about this specialized banquet for eating ghosts.
Danger!
fear!
mystery!
These are his three deepest impressions of that place.
Even if he was unhappy at that time, he might even be left there forever by those terrible black shadows!
Originally, Ge Ningjian sent people to keep an eye on the other side. Once a ghost is attracted, he will immediately block the arrest and leave it to resolve the problem after he is strong in the future.
But I never expected that I would just come to investigate a case and get involved.
I even found some clues that I had never discovered before...
A contract that can sell souls...
Now Su Bai suddenly understood.
After that, the old lady will probably be called by the mysterious suona and then go to the ghost banquet.
However, it is unfortunate that it is not the diners, but the sad ingredients that are eaten.
It's like the female ghost I didn't save at the beginning.
"Can't it be like this before the ingredients?"
Su Bai guessed that it was a pity that he had never encountered any other similar cases so far.
And what made him most curious was how the other party did this.
But at this moment, he suddenly remembered where the unique aura on the old lady came from.
His expression stagnated and his eyes slowly widened.
Very familiar, so familiar that he almost forgot where this sense of familiarity came from, as if he was completely used to it.
Underworld!
Yin God!
The other party has a scent similar to that of the underworld!
Although Su Bai still kept calm on his face, he had already caused an uproar in his heart. He felt that the speed of his heart beating was the most intense in his life.
He never expected to feel the breath of the underworld in a place outside where he had never intervened.
He felt it carefully. No wonder he felt a strange sense of familiarity when he saw the little girl before, and even more so when he was with the old lady.
There is no doubt that the so-called life-changing contract is definitely a kind of underworld-like method under concealment!
"Underland?"
He frowned.
Not right...
Now he is very sure that the entire underworld has long been destroyed, and it is impossible for a second person besides him to control the resources of the underworld.
And after calming down after the initial shock, he vaguely realized something was wrong.
Although the aura on the other party's body is very similar to that of the underworld he is in charge, it is still very different.
Under the seemingly orderly appearance, there is obviously a strong sense of madness and malice, which is completely different from one's own way of controlling the whole city to maintain the order of yin and yang.
Moreover, it seems to be more ancient and mysterious, and even just a glance makes you feel like you are going to be contaminated...
He came to his senses and couldn't help but fall into deep thought.
"Is it something like the threshold of the previous gate of hell?"
But he immediately denied this speculation.
If it is just a threshold, it should be far from reaching this level.
Moreover, this kind of transferring lifespan and curing human diseases is by no means something ordinary magic weapon can do.
This requires a certain degree of use of the power of the rules of heaven and earth.
You should know that changing the lifespan is the power of the underworld's Yin Gods!
