in the name of evil

Chapter 123 Betting on Dogs Is Not Forgivable
That night, under Li Baiwan's urging, Jiang Li took her to Jiangxin District with anxiety, and Song Xian couldn't stand Li Baiwan's soft-heartedness, so they joined the ranks of the expedition team, which was actually an unannounced visit team.

Don't screw me over.

Jiang Liru prayed.

If it hadn't been forced, Jiang Li would never have revealed the secret that he had recruited Jiangcheng ghosts.

Even if Li Baiwan was his elder sister, he would not let her know these things behind his back with confidence.

Although it looks beautiful now, in fact, there is a lack of absolute powerhouses who can be the pillars in the Liyihui. Whenever it attracts the attention of people above the prefecture level, no matter what the other party wants to do, Jiang Li is powerless to fight back.

So before I touch the threshold of prefecture-level gas transformation and get the refined ghost resentment from Liu Lao, I have to keep a low profile.

Li Baiwan's back is against the witchcraft sect, although it seems that the relationship between the siblings is good, and Li Baiwan has no obvious hostility towards ghosts, but Jiang Li can't guarantee that Li Baiwan will not tell her aunt, who is also a member of the witchcraft sect, after learning about this. door master.

And Jiang Li and the head of the Wugu Sect just met once, and the other party is still a big boss in the alliance. It goes without saying that Jiang Li, a poor relative with a close relationship, would choose the alliance in the face of big right and wrong.

Jiang Li had to hide it before he had the strength to have an equal dialogue with the alliance bosses and use the power of Liyihui to meet their needs.

After all, the essence of the establishment of the alliance is to clean up ghosts, but what I am doing now is to strengthen myself with the power of ghosts. Not only will it not make the members of the alliance feel awesome, but it will make them feel, I didn't expect you Jiang Li with thick eyebrows The big-eyed guy also betrayed the revolution?

What's more, everyone can only die when facing ghosts. When you come to Jiang Li, you just talk and laugh together. It's easy for people to feel jealous of Jiang Li. If this fear is too serious, it will even be regarded as an unstable factor and rejected Maybe erasure.

Jiang Li has always been unafraid to speculate on people's hearts with the greatest malice.

When it comes to your own safety, you can never be too cautious.

"Why do you always look so preoccupied?" On the subway, Li Baiwan couldn't help asking curiously when she saw that Jiang Li was always thinking.

Song Xian knew what Jiang Li was worried about, so she pursed her lips and said nothing.

But Jiang Li came back to his senses and said casually:
"I just calculated the old almanac casually, and found that it is not suitable to kill today."

"It's not suitable to kill?" Li Baiwan didn't quite understand what Jiang Li meant.

"Well, that means today is actually not suitable for cleaning up ghosts, otherwise it will become unlucky."

Jiang Li talked nonsense.

"Oh, it's okay, it's just a matter of gaining insight and seeing what ghosts in big cities look like."

Li Baiwan easily believed what Jiang Li said.

Jiang Li nodded secretly in his heart, in this way, the lives of the members were saved.

Soon, the three of them came to Jiangxin District.

Under Li Baiwan's strong request, Jiang Li took her to Song Xian's former residence, the villa.

"It's here." Jiang Li pointed to the ruins and introduced to Li Baiwan:
"This is where Song Xian used to live, and that mirror ghost was buried here. When I was suppressed by the ruins, it was Song Xian who dug me out."

While talking, Jiang Li approached the remaining door frame of the villa that did not fall down, feeling a little pity in his heart, if he had understood the way of the talisman array earlier, it would probably be able to melt all of them.

Li Baiwan walked around in the ruins like a fan checking in, took out a small box from her body, and put a gray silkworm-like worm on the ground. After a while, she said with a vigilant expression:

"Be careful, there seems to be a big guy here, my little gray told me that there have been evil spirits here recently."

Jiang Li was not only not worried, but even wanted to laugh.

What the hell, Brownie.

"Don't worry too much, it's just rotten fish and shrimp." Jiang Li comforted Li Baiwan who looked alert.

After confirming again and again, Li Baiwan confirmed that the breath of the evil spirit had remained a week ago, and also thought of Jiang Li's strength, so she relaxed.

She looked at Song Xian with a sigh: "Thank you for your hard work."

Song Xian's expression became a little weird. Ever since the two of them came back from breakfast, Li Baiwan always said some inexplicable things to herself. After questioning, she found out that Jiang Li actually made up such a shameful story.

The most outrageous thing is that Jiang Li actually asked Song Xian to cooperate in private, saying that it was necessary for the plot.

At this time, the instigator was humming a ditty, pretending nothing happened.

"It's all right." Song Xian forcefully forced a smile.

Since he didn't expose Jiang Li's lies at the beginning, he would help that hateful guy lie more and more later, otherwise, after Li Baiwan knew the truth, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was death in purgatory.

"Oh? Did you feel it?" Jiang Li suddenly squeaked.

"What?" the two replied.

Jiang Li pointed to an abandoned residential building not far away: "Over there, there is a breath of wandering spirits over there."

In fact, the wandering spirit's aura is weak, and if you don't search carefully, it's very difficult to find it before the wandering spirit shows up. Jiang Li owes it to Zuo Zihuan to know that there is a wandering spirit there.

In Jiang Li's eyes, the entire Jiangxin District is now like a map that has been explored. Where there are small monsters and where there are elite monsters, they are all clearly marked.

"Really? Your senses are so sensitive?" Li Baiwan felt unbelievable, she didn't even notice her spirit detection Gu, how did Jiang Li know?
"Isn't there anyone who doesn't know who Peter Parker learned his spider sense from?"

Jiang Li is complacent.

"What gram?" Li Baiwan was a little at a loss.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, let's go and have a look first." Jiang Li led the way to the marked elite monster garrison.

Song Xian looked at the excited Li Baiwan, and couldn't bear to look directly at her.

She sighed: "Brother Jiang Li, slow down, wait for us."

The three of them approached the residential building and immediately felt something strange here.

This three-storey building is full of corruption. It's not just the smell of rotten building materials, but something rotten inside.

"On top." Jiang Li held his breath and whispered.

Li Baiwan also nodded: "I feel it now."

Jiang Li took a deep breath, and walked carefully into the dark stairs.

They went all the way to the third floor before entering the corridor.

On the door at the end of the corridor, various kinds of graffiti have been sprayed with paint, and the contents of the graffiti are various curse words.

"The paint looks quite new." Li Baiwan stretched out her fingers to touch the graffiti, and felt that the dry paint was a bit soft.

Jiang Li frowned: "Probably because of the wandering soul, the area affected by it maintains its appearance before it was alive."

"It's possible." Li Baiwan felt that what Jiang Li said was quite reasonable.

And Song Xian knew that it was simply because it was indeed new paint.

Jiang Li directly pushed open the seemingly closed door, but in fact it was only ajar, and walked into the room.

Li Baiwan wanted to hold him back and tell him to be more careful, but after thinking about it, it was just a wandering spirit and did not pose a threat at all, so she went with Jiang Li.

As soon as she entered the room, Li Baiwan covered her nose, because the room was filled with an unpleasant rotten smell, or rather, the smell of corpses.

"Is there anyone out there? Charge the gas fee." Jiang Li stood by the door and yelled into the room.

Just when Li Baiwan wanted him to be serious, unexpectedly, an old voice really responded to Jiang Li.

"The family really has no money."

An old man on crutches came out of the back room tremblingly.

There were blood and tears in the corners of his eyes, and his legs were trembling uncontrollably. It seemed that standing like this was also a very difficult thing for him.

"Old man, aren't you lonely living here alone? Seeing that you are so old, it takes a lot of effort to take care of yourself, right?"

Jiang Li came to the familiar place to chat with the old man.

"I want to wait for my son." The old man replied blankly.

Although Li Baiwan doesn't pay attention to mere wandering souls, she is still wary of the old man's sudden outburst. Her aunt once told him that even the lowest-level ghosts cannot guarantee any special abilities. When dealing with ghosts, they must be treated with time. Be vigilant at all times, otherwise you may suffer a big loss.

Are you pretending you don't know it's a ghost, trying to test it?
Li Baiwan looked at Jiang Li who was able to handle things with ease, and nodded secretly in her heart. It seems that Jiang Li's understanding of ghosts is not unreasonable. If it were other ghost exorcists, he probably would have done it long ago.

"Waiting for your son? What does your son do?"

Jiang Li asked.

"My son owed money outside and went to work to pay back the money. I have to wait for him here, or he won't be able to find me when he comes back."

The old man answered every question, which made Li Baiwan feel a little surprised.

Ghosts in big cities are very polite.

"It seems that your son owes a lot of money."

Jiang Li looked at the graffiti on the door, and looked at the appearance of the bare walls in the house, and couldn't help saying:

"It's not due to gambling debts, is it?"

"No, he's a good boy, no, definitely not."

The old man kept repeating.

"Mind if I come in and take a look?"

After Jiang Li finished speaking, without waiting for the old man to respond, he dragged Li Baiwan into the room. After waiting for a while, seeing that the old man was still standing there dumbstruck, he directly passed him into the inner room.

"Hey, it's not good." Li Baiwan was a little uncomfortable with Jiang Li's casual attitude towards ghosts.

"It doesn't matter, what do I want to do and they dare to stop it?"

Jiang Li shrugged and looked around.

And this sentence is a pun, and it has completely different meanings for Song Xian and Li Baiwan.

"You are really confident." Li Baiwan said helplessly.

"As long as it's not Puxin."

Jiang Li lifted the quilt, then frowned and covered his nose: "Sure enough, there is something, no wonder it smells so bad."

A rotted and swollen corpse suddenly appeared on the bed.

"This..." Li Baiwan felt dizzy when she smelled this smell.

"It probably died and no one knew it. It turned into a ghost after the corpse decomposed for a few days, so the corpse also maintained its appearance at that time, and there was nothing to see."

Jiang Li didn't pay too much attention to the corpse, put the quilt back on, and started searching for other places.

Soon, he found a stack of unsent letters hidden under the bed, and took out one casually to look through.

The more he looked, the heavier Jiang Li's expression became.

Feeling curious, Li Baiwan also picked up one and opened it to look.

"It's really a gambling dog."

Jiang Li's face was complicated.

The letter was written by the old man to his son. In the letter, he advised his son more than once to turn around and get rid of the habit of gambling as soon as possible.

The words in the letter are deep and sincere, full of a father's unwillingness and remorse for his son's going to such a point, and expressing his earnest expectation for his son's prodigal son to return.

But for some reason, the letters were not sent.

"There are no valuable things at home, and they took away my coffin. My son, when will you come back? Dad doesn't know how long I can hold on."

Li Baiwan read out the contents of the letter she read:
"I'm sorry for your mother, I didn't educate you well, where have you been, my father wrote you many letters, but I don't even know where to send them, and I don't even know if you are still alive.

If you come back after Dad died and read these letters, I hope you can know that Dad has never blamed you, and you can only blame me for pampering you too much.

Dad also apologizes to you, he shouldn't have slapped you back then, otherwise you wouldn't have never come back after all these years.

I just hope you are doing well. "

Li Baiwan felt relieved, feeling a little heavy.

And Jiang Li was not much better, because he knew that in order to create a sense of reality, Zuo Zihuan selected members who had actually experienced these things.

In other words, this old man really ran away because his son owed gambling debts, and guarded the old house alone until he died here, because he was waiting for his son's obsession to become a ghost.

"Letter! You read my letter!"

The old man seemed to have noticed that someone had touched his things, changed his appearance just now, and became full of resentment and viciousness.

Looking at the old man, Jiang Li suddenly felt that he was not worth it.

"The gambling dog is not worthy of sympathy, not to mention the gambling dog that even his family can abandon, you have guarded him for so many years, is it really worth it?"

Jiang Li said seriously:

"Also, why do you attribute all the faults to yourself? What does it have to do with you if he goes to gamble? Your only problem is not that you slapped the debt collector when he came to the door, but that you didn't slap the debt collector when he first came. The next time you gamble, call the police and arrest him!"

The old man's fierce face froze for a moment.

This is different from what Minister Hao said. According to the process, after the sale is over, you can use an excuse to get angry, and then you will be beaten up by the president. This matter is considered to be a happy ending, but why did the president say this to yourself? ?

"I have nothing but my son."

The old man explained blankly.

"So you allow him to become a cancer of the society? Gambling is like a drug. After being infected, it will not destroy a person's future, nor a family, but the stability of the entire society!"

Jiang Li was inexplicably agitated:
"Do you know how much manpower and resources will be spent and how much risk will be taken when the police destroy an underground casino? Because of the existence of gamblers, how many undercover agents every year may be life-threatening, do you know?"

Jiang Li seemed to recall some bad memories, and left here with a gloomy face.

Li Baiwan followed closely behind, and also chased Jiang Li out.

The old man's face was pale at this time, and he looked at Song Xian who was also frightened by Jiang Li: "Minister, have I offended the president?"

Song Xian came back to her senses and comforted: "It's okay, he's just a little emotional, it should have nothing to do with you."

After speaking, Song Xian also followed out.

In the room full of stench, only the old man was left.

"Isn't it every father's duty to be tolerant of his son at all times? Am I really wrong?"
