Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 91 The Disappeared Person
Snapped!
With one stroke, the billiard ball on the pool table shot in all directions.

Seeing that Chen Xin had sneaked in with several more people, Li Yong couldn't hold it anymore.

"Chen Xin, who did you learn this tee shot from? You can't stop until the ball goes into the hole?"

Chen Xin smiled and said, "There's a saying that goes 'great strength makes miracles happen'. As long as you're strong enough, there's no ball you can't score. That's what I said!"

After saying that, Chen Xin poked at the white ball.

Snapped! Bang!
The white ball hit the edge of the pool table and bounced directly towards Li Yong.

Li Yong didn't dare to catch it and dodged the white ball with a jump.

"Fuck!"

The people at another table were just about to tee off when they were dispersed by Chen Xin's shot.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

Li Yong hurried over and bowed with a smile. There were also people from Mubei University sitting at that table. Seeing that Li Yong was tall and strong and had a good attitude, he didn't say anything. He threw the white ball to Li Yong and rearranged the balls.

Li Yong took the ball back, put it on the table, and then pulled the cue out of Chen Xin's hand.

"Asking you to play billiards is an insult to the sport of billiards!"

As he spoke, Li Yong handed the pole to Yang Shuxian who was smiling beside him.

"Yangyang, let's fight!"

Yang Shuxian, who originally didn't want to play, heard the word "Yang Yang" again, so he took the club.

Afterwards, Li Yong experienced what it meant to just watch after the ball was kicked off.

"No, I can't fight you like this. You have to fight in order, fight number 1 first, then number 2..."

Chen Xin listened to Li Yong teaching Yang Shuxian difficult exercises with a smile on his face.

In fact, if Chen Xin plays really well, although he won't be able to clear the ball in one shot like Yang Shuxian, he will definitely play better than Li Yong.

After practicing the fourth version of the strengthening exercises, Chen Xin's control over his body became more refined.

As long as the ball and the hole are in a straight line, Chen Xin can control it to go into the hole 100%.

He couldn’t clear the ball in one shot because he didn’t know how to calculate the angle, but with more practice, this wouldn’t be a problem.

Not only billiards, but also other sports like basketball and football, Chen Xin can control the landing point of the ball within a certain range.

It can be said that the fourth edition of Chen Xin has already stepped into the ranks of sports geniuses.

Unfortunately, those who can really practice the fourth version of physical exercises will not become athletes.

As he was sighing, Chen Xin suddenly heard a conversation among students at another table behind him.

"…It's all thanks to Lao Zhang. If it weren't for his luck, we wouldn't have the luxury of playing billiards for 20 Daxia coins per hour."

"That's right, Lao Zhang, lend me some of your shit luck. When I pick up 100 yuan, I'll treat everyone to five consecutive Internet cafes!"

"Hehe, this is not called luck, this is called destiny. You lowly people can't afford it!"

"Go away..."

Chen Xin turned his head and looked at him in confusion.

Did they pick up money too?

When I was a child, my parents always said that there is a golden house in books. Could it be that it is here?

After entering university, does it become easier to make money?

When Chen Xin laughed, he suddenly saw a few more people coming to the entrance of the billiard hall.

One of them looked familiar to him, it was Cui Xing.

After seeing Chen Xin and others, Cui Xing brought his men over and stood beside Li Yong and watched.

Seeing that Li Yong failed to score a straight ball, Cui Xing laughed.

"Li Yong, you can't even score this goal? How about I do it?"

Li Yong glanced at Cui Xing who stretched out his hand, and Cui Xing put his hand away awkwardly.

Li Yong is a kind-hearted person, but he is not a pushover.

After realizing what kind of person Cui Xing was, he drew a clear dividing line.

Unlike Chen Xin and Yang Shuxian, who would talk to Cui Xing from time to time, Li Yong was too lazy to pay attention to Cui Xing anymore.

Feeling humiliated, Cui Xing snorted coldly and went to the front desk to open a new table next to Li Yong and the others.

"I'm lucky today. I picked up a hundred dollars, which is enough to play ball for five hours. You're welcome, guys. If you're thirsty, just have a drink."

Cui Xing's boastful words made Chen Xin and the other two, as well as several students at the table behind Chen Xin, look over.

The others were fine, just surprised, but Chen Xin was the only one with a face full of confusion.

What’s going on? Is someone throwing money around outside today?

Did everyone pick up money?

Just when Chen Xin was puzzled, the boss's loud voice suddenly resounded throughout the billiard hall.

"Which bastard gave me the ghost money?"

Everyone turned to look in the boss' direction and were stunned.

It was not because of what the boss said, but because of the scene he saw.

The owner of this billiard hall invested a lot of money and has more than 20 billiard tables just to attract the student traffic from Mubei University.

Now, among the more than 20 tables in the entire billiard hall, except for the three billiard tables on Chen Xin's side, there are only two tables elsewhere where people are playing billiards.

But before that, it was clear that 80% of the people in the billiard hall were already occupied.

All this seemed to have changed because of the boss's yelling.

This change was so sudden that no one could react.

Cui Xing was the first to speak.

"People, where are people?"

Cui Xing was the last one to come in, and it had only been five minutes since he came in. He naturally remembered the crowded scene in the billiard hall just now.

But now, where are the people?

"Boss, what's going on? Where are the people?"

Li Yong frowned and shouted at the boss, but the boss seemed to be stupid and said woodenly:
"I, I don't know either. I was counting money just now, and when I counted a few ghost money, I stood up and cursed. In the end, you guys are the only ones left!"

The boss's words made everyone look tense.

Some people thought it was a prank and were about to go to the door to check, but were interrupted by a voice.

"Look out the window!"

Everyone turned their heads and were shocked.

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when they came out, and it wasn't cloudy today, but now it was dark outside the window!

"what happened?"

Chen Xin walked to the window and looked out.

The originally bustling street now had only a few people running in panic.

Looking up, Chen Xin glanced at the sky.

There is no blue sky and bright sun, only grayness.

"What exactly is going on?"

Li Yong leaned on the window next to Chen Xin and said with a puzzled look on his face.

Chen Xin said seriously: "Let's leave here first and go back to school."

"Okay." Neither Li Yong nor Yang Shuxian refuted Chen Xin's proposal.

Immediately, the three of them walked towards the door of the billiard hall.

The others looked at each other and hurriedly followed. At this time, no one was still thinking about the time when they had to spend money to play ball.

After everyone left, the boss was left alone in the empty and dark billiard hall. He couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

"No, I can't do this business today. I have to go back."

As the boss spoke, he took out all the money from the cash register and stuffed it into his bag. When he saw the paper money, he crumpled it into a ball and threw it into the trash can.

"unlucky!"

After packing the money, the boss walked quickly towards the door.

When they went out, Chen Xin and others had disappeared.

"These little guys run really fast."

The boss squeezed the bag under his elbow, trotted to the elevator, and pressed the elevator button.

After waiting for a long time, the boss still didn't get the elevator. He looked up and saw that the digital screen on the elevator had already changed to 888.

"grass!"

The boss walked towards the stairs again with a bulging belly.

The billiard hall is on the third floor. The boss, who used to take the elevator up and down, has never experienced what it feels like to walk up the stairs.

There are lights and windows in the billiard room, so it's not too dark, but in this fire escape, only the green emergency light sign and the voice-controlled energy-saving lamp above the head are working.

tread!tread!tread!
The boss's heavy footsteps echoed in the corridor.

When he reached the corner between the second and third floors, as soon as he turned the corner, the boss saw the hundred-dollar bill on the next step!
The boss's face lit up with joy and he reached out to pick up the hundred-dollar bill.

“There’s also a surprise!”

After stuffing the hundred-dollar bills into the bag, the boss's steps became much lighter.

His billiard hall looks large, but there are many students in the evening, so the income is not huge. The daily profit is about 1500 to 2000 Daxia coins.

After deducting water, electricity and rent, he only earns a little over 10,000 yuan but less than 20,000 yuan a month.

For this reason, he didn't dare to hire anyone to help take care of his child, otherwise he would earn even less.

So I was very happy to pick up a hundred dollars for free.

Turning another corner, the boss clicked "light" to wake up the voice-controlled light, and then he saw another hundred-dollar bill.

"Hmm? There's more!"

After bending down with great effort to pick up the hundred-dollar bill, the boss wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"In the past, we could only pick up one-cent coins, but now we can pick up one-hundred-yuan coins. Do you think the housing prices can be low?"

The boss put away the hundred-dollar bill, muttered, and continued to go downstairs.

He had already gone down two floors, and if he went down one more floor he would reach the first floor.

tread!tread!tread!
After turning another corner of the stairs, the boss stopped.

Because there is a hundred-dollar bill on the steps!
If you pick it up twice in a row you can say you are extremely lucky, but three times?

Looking at the location of the hundred-dollar bill, the boss was suddenly shocked.

It seems that the positions of the three hundred-dollar bills are the same. They don’t look like they were lost, but more like they were carefully placed!

Gudong!

The boss swallowed.

He remembered something an old man in his hometown once said, that you can't just pick up money from outside, and even if you pick it up, you have to spend it before going back.

Because sometimes the money was not lost accidentally, but was placed on the ground intentionally.

There is a saying that if someone in the family is sick and throws money on the road, whoever picks it up is equivalent to having their health borrowed.

The money usually thrown is fifty cents, one dollar, five dollars, or ten dollars.

These are all minor illnesses and pains.

Once it rises to fifty, it is a serious illness.

As for the hundred, most people wouldn’t even throw it away, let alone pick it up!

It’s not that I’m reluctant, but it’s against the harmony of nature.

If you borrow a hundred dollars, what you are not borrowing is your health, you might be borrowing someone’s life!

The boss thought he had met this kind of person and immediately opened his bag.

While taking out the money, he muttered:

"I'm sick, so I really can't lend you anything. So, I just picked up 200 yuan, and now I'm giving you 400 yuan. Just consider it as a gesture of love!"

Regardless of whether anyone heard what he said, the boss was ready to throw the money on the ground.

But looking at the four hundred yuan bill in his hand, the boss's face turned pale.

Two of the four large bills were normal, but the other two... were ghost money!

But he had clearly thrown away the paper money before!
For the first time, the boss felt that money was hot.

With a swish, he threw the four banknotes in his hand away, and ran downstairs in a panic without caring anything.

After opening the door of the stairwell, the boss trotted outside and got into his car.

After heaving a sigh of relief, the boss placed the bag on the passenger seat.

"It really is like seeing a ghost!"

The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead while cursing, then took out the key from his waist and inserted it.

Hiss! Hiss!

The startup sound kept on ringing, but the car didn't move at all.

Bang!
The boss hit the steering wheel and tried to get out of the car immediately.

But when he reached for his bag, he saw the ghost money half sticking out of the bag.

"what!"

The boss yelled and turned to run.

But no matter how hard he pulled the car door, it didn't move at all!
Just then, the boss heard a swish sound.

Turning his head, the boss saw the hundred-yuan paper money pouring out of his bag.

The sound seemed to be stuck in the throat.

The boss stared at the ghost money with eyes wide open and body convulsing.

Watch as they were stuck on the seat, on the dashboard, on the windshield and steering wheel, and finally on various parts of his body... and on his face.

At this time, looking from outside the car to inside, you can only see pieces of paper money for the dead through the window glass.

At a certain moment, as the first piece of paper money caught fire, the other paper money were ignited at the same time.

In an instant, the only thing left in the car besides the flames was the black ashes from the burnt paper money.

But the strange thing was that apart from the flames everywhere in the car, there were no signs of burning outside the car, and there was not even a trace of smoke.

After a long time, the flames stopped.

The interior decoration of the car was intact, but in the driving seat, there was a charred corpse with its arms protecting its head.
