Returning from the abyss

Chapter 44 Foreign Aid
This is a simple hut, the sunlight comes in through the small narrow window, which provides not much light source in the room, it is dim, humid, and stuffy, if it wasn't for the sound of brushing teeth coming from the bathroom, Lu Ning would find it hard to believe this ghost The place is actually inhabited.

The young man in charge of the local "special ability" on the phone didn't get up until she arrived. After yawning and saying hello, he went into the bathroom and started to wash, leaving Lu Ning here to dry.

After a little getting used to the indoor environment, Lu Ning sat on a wooden chair that looked cooler, and looked at the structure of the "living room"—if it could be called that.

An old-fashioned TV sits on a cabinet in the corner, and above it sits a radio with its antenna protruding to the only window.The walls are covered with advertisements, news clippings, and post-it notes, and a large pile of documents is scattered on the sofa, leaving a place for one person in the middle.The trash cans are full of plastic bags of instant coffee and disposable lunch boxes, which have begun to emit a slight stench in such an environment.

"Ah... sorry, the air conditioner is broken."

The young man wiped his face with a gray towel and came out of the bathroom, looking much more refreshed than before. He sniffed his nose twice, then took out the garbage bag from the trash can, opened the door and put it outside. Then he took out two glasses from the cabinet and put them on the tea table.

"any drinks?"

"Water will do."

The young man walked into the kitchen, took out a large mineral water bottle whose label had been torn off, poured water into two cups, and took a sip by himself before letting out a sigh of relief.

"How do I call it? My surname is Lan, Zhilan's Lan, although I have a big name Lan Yushu, you can call it anything else if you want."

"My name is Lu Ning."

Lu Ning simply skipped the opening remarks, and took out the string of jade stones from her backpack.

"Oh?"

Seeing the jade string, Lan Yushu immediately showed an interested expression on his face.

"Where did you find this thing?"

"An inverted person wanted to make a move, and I intercepted it when I saw it, but the evil spirit of this thing was about three times as strong when I got it."

"what have you done?"

Lan Yushu took the jade string and examined it carefully over and over again.Lu Ning saw that he seemed to know something, so she talked about what she might have dreamed in the past few days.

But Lan Yushu doesn't think it's a dreaming problem: "There are many ways to eliminate evil spirits, but this situation is definitely not included. A more reliable explanation is that when the jade string was causing trouble, it collided with something, which caused it to be consumed. the power of."

"conflict?"

"Ha, maybe you are being targeted by some other evil thing, and these old evil things are fighting fiercely. You have a little aura, and it's normal to be entangled by them—how? Let me help?"

Lu Ning nodded immediately.

"One hundred thousand, a deposit." Lan Yushu immediately offered the price.

Although this price was expected, Lu Ning actually didn't have that much money in hand.

"It's too expensive. I can see the reduction of the evil spirit. At least I can judge that it can't affect me now. As for some days, I might not even have time to think about the danger."

"After a while?" Lan Yushu raised her eyebrows, "What are you going to do in Danma?"

"My mother was a witch, or something like that, actually my mother was all of them, but not long ago my mother passed away in a bizarre way, and I thought it was weird, so I moved a little The method investigation... the result is here."

After hearing this description, Lan Yushu also knew that Lu Ning had concealed a lot of things, so he couldn't help rubbing his eyebrows: "However, you went in the wrong direction... It seems that you are clear about some things about Danma."

"Should I say lucky or unlucky? I've already been involved-it seems that you don't know nothing about it?" Lu Ning asked back.

The young man with psychic ability stood up from the sofa, paced around the room, and stopped until Lu Ning felt dizzy. He rummaged through the pile of documents and took out a stack of bound forms. , opened the mouth and said:

"How much do you know?"

"Hospital, church." Lu Ning spread her hands, "The wildfire that happened on the mountain yesterday, and what happened in the cemetery at night...do you know?"

"Some are clear, and some are still under investigation." Lan Yushu threw the form into Lu Ning's arms, crossed her hands, "We dare not station too many people in Danma, even we are easy to die because of the weirdness of this place. But whatever the case There is also an information network, and the form contains information on the personnel we have investigated recently..."

"Pei Xuan." Lu Ning only checked the profile picture, and the speed was still very fast, "Who is this in the church?"

That was the name of the man who showed himself a threatening expression when he left that day.

"He and Yu Chan were abandoned babies taken in by the church when they were young. They were probably less than 20 years old. After they grew up, they lived in the church and worked as helpers. Some nuns originally hoped to let these two children enter the church. , but the priest said to let them choose after they have a clear understanding of the world."

"Father?"

"Paradale, he is a very good priest. People call him priest because of respect." Lan Yushu took a sip from the water glass and continued, "He never forces others to believe, nor does he refuse outsiders to visit .Of course he is very strict about prayers and the like, but this is normal. On the other hand, even if non-believers seek help, he will patiently solve it. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is a psychiatrist...He has nothing here. Notoriety."

"But it's weird, isn't it?"

Lu Ning turned a page and saw the profile of another girl named Yu Chan.

"There is no one in this world that everyone likes. If this is just a village of dozens of people, it is still possible, but the population of Danma..."

"Yes, but unfortunately we were unable to conduct an in-depth investigation."

"How to say?"

"Something is stopping us, and this 'something' is probably something you can get in touch with." Lan Yushu smiled, "I'll help you solve the jade string problem, and you provide us with information, how about it?"

"make a deal."

"You are very cunning, little girl." Lan Yushu picked up a torn book under the coffee table, stuffed it into a rucksack on the sofa, and opened the door.

"This damn place is getting hot to death, please lead the way, the hotel at least provides air conditioning."

Psychic abilities exist in this world, perhaps just to correspond to the evil spirits of ghosts.The Psychic Ability Association is also a secret semi-official organization, without a fixed base, and all members are traveling all over the country to visit supernatural events that may cause harm.

Danma's anomalies over the years can't escape investigation, but this place has been developing better and better in recent years, and there have been no major incidents. The association had to let go of some surveillance personnel, and others had to go to the field. It was impossible to deploy a large number of people. stay here.

"So how many people can you use?"

"If we are sure there is a problem, we can even contact the army." Lan Yushu held the broken book and looked around the room, and only gave a rough answer to Lu Ning's question.

"That means there are not many people now."

"Less than two slaps." Lan Yushu sighed.

"It's so little..."

"There are very few people with psychic abilities. Some are only willing to rely on their abilities to make money, and some don't want to get involved in danger. After removing these, the association can have the current scale. Seriously, do you want to wait until this incident is resolved? Join? The ability of eyes has always been a scarce resource."

Lu Ning froze for a moment.

"But couldn't you also see the evil spirit on that thing before?"

"I have a simple Feng Shui array in my house, and I can't see it when I take it out."

Lan Yushu is also good at this aspect.The feng shui master was good at arranging formations and deploying soldiers, and it was passed to Lan Yushu, and he did not lose. After a detailed survey, Lan Yushu quickly locked several corners of the room.

"You really have a problem here."

This is not surprising.Lu Ning just nodded, and then asked: "Then can you see when the problem started here? This is very important."

"That's a bit difficult. The source is not with you. I may have to look for it. Do you have time these two days?"

"Sorry, I have some arrangements, which are also related to this matter..."

"That's fine." Lan Yushu interrupted Lu Ning, "We've been investigating here for a long time, but we haven't found any clues. Since we found a clue from you, we can't let it be broken. I'll tell you my contact information. If there are any new discoveries, please contact me as soon as possible. I will call other people to investigate together, what else do you need?"

"Self-defense methods, I am not good at anything other than eyes, I hope there is something for self-defense, weapons and spells are fine."

"It's not difficult."

Lan Yushu flicked through the book, grabbed three or four pages, tore them off, and handed them to Lu Ning.

"There are basic formation formulas and formation diagrams for the illusion [confuse], the formation [wood and stone], the breaking [Sirius] and the killing [Zishu]. You can use it after studying it carefully. Remember to remember it later. Give me."

"Thank you...you can take that jade string, it should be a very good magic weapon."

"Then I'm not welcome." Lan Yushu stuffed the jade string into the backpack, and took out a charcoal pencil to write and draw on several corners.

"This will probably keep you from being disturbed by that weird thing for two or three days. I hope our investigation can make progress during this time."

"Will do."

At this time, someone knocked on the door suddenly, Lu Ning looked at the door vigilantly, and found that it was Xiao Shifan and Ye Fei, and then opened the door.

"We're back...do you have guests?" Xiao Shifan poked his head down and saw Lan Yushu in the room.

"I found assistance, what have you found?"

"Song Baoguo's body can't be found, and it's as if nothing happened in the cemetery." Xiao Shifan sighed.Ye Fei next to him was pale and haggard, and he was frightened at first glance.

"It's not easy to just disappear..." Lan Yushu came out from the inside, nodded to Xiao Shifan and the two, and said hello.

"We have searched every place, there are priests watching over there, but we can't just dig the grave..."

"If there is a dead body, how many people can you send to intervene?" Lu Ning suddenly remembered something, and immediately looked at Lan Yushu.
