There's nothing wrong with it

Chapter 44 Midnight Invitation

"Damn it!" Ouyang Xia pushed her away, and with a wave of her wrist, the golden snake flew back into her hand and changed back into a bracelet, "Huangfu, do you want this kind of layman to interfere with our work?"

Huangfulu only glanced at Ouyang Xia, and before he said anything, his cell phone rang, "Mr. Huangfu? I'm Lao Zhang from the Qixingshan Management Office. Are you here yet?" Huangfulu simply told Lao Zhang on the phone Hang up the phone after Zhang where they were, and said: "Ouyang, if you want to complete the work you have to do, please be quiet. If it wasn't for the junior sister who saved you just now, you must have become a ghost. And——" He paused After a pause, he added, "Among the few of us, if we say that the way of heaven is in the hands of someone, I think that person can only be my junior sister."

Zigui was stunned, did senior brother Huangfu already know about her weird "part-time job"?
"This Qixing Mountain is a place full of spiritual power. It is easy to produce some ghosts and attract nearby ghosts. Even ordinary ghosts will accumulate spiritual power and become difficult to deal with. We are not here this time to drive away ghosts. Besides, I haven't heard that there are ghosts and monsters here, so we should find out about Xue Yun as soon as possible and leave here." Huangfu said.

"Isn't that just a nuisance? If I hadn't discovered it early, maybe we would have fallen off the cliff!" Ouyang Xia said with a flick of her long hair.

Zigui rolled his eyes, fainted, is this woman really a master?Haven't heard that the more expert you are, the more low-key you are?Besides, she didn't find something wrong, okay?Zigui touched the watch in her hand, she really didn't expect that the watch Hui Rong gave could sense Xiao Li's yin energy, she, Brother Chopsticks and Brother Huangfu didn't notice the slightest abnormality, if it wasn't for it, maybe they Really dead cliff.Brother Huangfu is also right, they are now stepping on other people's territory, no matter what they say, they have already lost their position. No matter whether the monsters here are malicious or not, they have to be careful.

Director Li of the management office is a dark and honest middle-aged man. He warmly entertained Zigui and his group to rest in the reception room first.The reception room is not big, and the half-old air conditioner still blows cool air dutifully, which is enough on this mountain.While listening to Director Li's introduction to them about some basic information in the mountains, Zigui looked at the furnishings of the reception room, and a photo hanging on the wall caught her attention. "Director Li, what is that photo?" The photo was dated three years ago, and it is a group photo of a dozen people wearing the uniforms of the management office, and the person on the far right in the front row is Xiao Li who attacked them just now.

"Oh, that's a group photo of people from our management office three years ago." Director Li said, "The one on the far right in front is my nephew."

"Nephew? How is Nephew Ling now? Are you still working on the mountain?" Huangfu asked.

Director Li sighed, "Oh, when Zongyunya was repairing the barrier last year, he stumbled and fell off the cliff, and he is no longer here."

Zongyunya? "Is it the cliff where the chain bridge is going to be built?" Zigui asked.

"Yes." Director Li nodded, "Oh, let's not mention the unhappy things back then, Mr. Huangfu, this is the list of staff you want, take your time, I'll make you a pot of tea." After finishing, Director Li left the conference room and took it to the door.

Huangfulu distributed the list to everyone, "Look together to see if there are any clues."

"Ah Lu, that Xiao Li fell off the cliff just now, why did he take us there?" Xiuwen flipped through the documents and asked, "Could it be that he feels lonely by himself and wants to find a few more people to play with him?"

"Don't follow if you don't understand anything." Ouyang Xia threw the information on the table, "He's called looking for a scapegoat, because when he died, there was some reason why he couldn't leave the place where he died, couldn't reincarnate, etc. , If he wants to leave, he will bring someone into the cliff, let the other party fill in the gap, and he will be at ease."

"I didn't ask you again." Xiuwen, who always laughs and has no nerves, obviously didn't care about Ouyang Xia as usual, nor did he smile at all.

Chu Xiu flipped through a stack of documents in his hand, and said, "Even if Xue Yun has worked here, she might not use her own name. Can we really find clues by relying on this stack of lists?" , being known by someone's name is like being known by someone's weakness, will Xueyun report her real name?
"Let's see if there is anything suspicious. I have already told Wu Gui, he can help us investigate those people." Huangfu said without raising his head.

Does this count as asking for revenge?Chu Xiu thought.

The staff of the management office is highly mobile, and there are more staff files and records from ten years ago to the present than they imagined. After checking them all, it was already dark.Director Li of the management office said that it is not safe to go down the mountain now, and they stayed in the dormitory on the mountain for one night. Although it is not a luxury hotel suite, it is better than sleeping in the wilderness.

"Wow—it's past seven o'clock." Xiuwen stretched his waist, "Junior Sister, you and Xiao Xiuxiu's stack is so thick, do you see anything?"

Chu Xiu said: "It's because your stack of materials is too thin." This revision can make normal things extraordinary and abnormal things rationalize. It's better not to ask him to investigate.

"Just looking at the data, I really didn't find anything wrong. Could it be that Xueyun used magic to erase all the data when he left?" Zi Gui said, thumping his shoulder.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Huangfulu rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Perhaps Xueyun just lived here and never worked."

"Then aren't we wasting time this time? Hmph, it's all Huangfulu's bad idea that you listened to laymen's thinking." Ouyang Xia said dissatisfied.

A hint of impatience flashed across Huangfulu's face, but he still said calmly, "I never forced you to come with us, did I?" After a pause, he continued, "I've been busy all day, now rest , I want to go outside to have a look at night."

Outside?Zigui looked out the window into the deep blue twilight of the mountain forest, and said, "Senior Brother Huangfu, you are not safe by yourself, are you? How about... Let Brother Chopsticks go with you?" Please forgive her for not having the guts to be in a place haunted by ghosts in the middle of the night. Dangling in the mountains, she is willing to "reluctantly give up" and let her "bodyguard" help.

"No need." Huangfulu said, "I am a magician after all, so I can protect myself."

Chu Xiu sneered and said, "Aren't there warlocks who can't protect themselves?" He was talking about Ouyang Xia, whom he disliked.

"Who do you think can't protect themselves?" Ouyang Xia barked like a cat whose tail was stepped on.

"Whoever agrees is the one." Chu Xiu replied bluntly.

"Okay, stop arguing." Huangfu Lu said, "I can go alone. Nothing bad happened to Qi Xingshan, so it doesn't matter."

There are not many rooms in the staff dormitory here, and Director Li can only arrange a room for men and women. Zigui looked depressedly at Ouyang Xia, the eldest lady who had complained a lot since hearing about this incident, and asked her to stay with this woman. One night, I really don't know if she will be angry for a while, and become a murderer the next day.In order to avoid this situation, she decided to stay outside before going to bed, so as not to look at each other in the room.The air on the mountain is particularly transparent, and the night sky is also particularly refreshing, unlike the city’s sky which is always shrouded in smog, which makes one feel gloomy.Zigui didn't dare to go far, so he wandered around the basketball court next to the dormitory, watching a few people shoot into the mottled and rusty basket. "Would it be boring to live in this kind of place?" She said to herself, and she noticed a white shadow in the bushes that were barely illuminated by the lights next to her.

Wouldn't it be such a coincidence to come across that kind of insubstantial, floating thing?She twisted her head, which was unwilling to turn, and opened her eyes wide after seeing the white thing clearly—it was a white fox with a body length of 1.5 meters. Fur, a pair of beautiful round black eyes, like the cold stars in a winter night, clear but deep, as if they would suck people in.real or fake?She pulled her face, "It hurts!" Is it really a white fox?Could it be Xue Yun?Is this also regarded as "there is no place to find when you break through the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it"?
The white fox stared at her for a long time, then turned around and went into the dark bushes.

Are you going to chase?There are no lights over there, and there are ghosts on the mountain, so it's a little bit to chase after them alone... But didn't she come to City Z just to investigate about the white fox?Is there a clue to also give up?Thinking of Senior Brother Huangfu's silent and reproachful expression and Ouyang Xia's high-decibel noise gave her a headache!How about calling Brother Chopsticks?While she was still thinking about it, the fox's voice became smaller and smaller, and it was obvious that if she went to look for Brother Chopsticks again, she would definitely not be able to catch up.Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, she is also a errand hand-picked by the King of Hades, so no ghost dare to do anything to her!
Thinking of this, she followed the sound and chased in the direction where the white fox was escaping.It was very dark, the night wind was not strong but surprisingly cold, the branches entangled her hair and clothes like conscious claws, "Oh!" Maybe it was scratched by the branches, and there was a sharp stabbing pain in her arm.She didn't dare to waste time to push aside the branches in front of her, and broke them off with a wave of her hand casually before continuing to chase.It's strange, she shouldn't be able to see anything in such a place with no light, why can she clearly see the white fox running in front of her?
She blinked for a second or two, and the white fox disappeared.

Oops!She didn't pay attention to which road she came here from at all, how would she go back now?She carefully observes her surroundings.I can't see anything in the pitch black, I can only hear the sound of insects like grasshoppers, my own rapid breathing and the sound of my heartbeat not only because of running but also because of fear, and I can smell the uniqueness of plants The fragrant smell of the night is mixed in the wet and cold night wind.The swaying branches whimpered with the wind, and the rustling sound made people feel shivering in the dark night when they couldn't see anything clearly.She began to regret what she was doing so actively, now it's all right, even if she can't find the way back, Brother Chopsticks must be yelling at her again.

A hand suddenly wrapped around her right shoulder.

Wouldn't there be a "something" that cannot be explained by science to greet her?

"Yeah——" Zigui yelled, and swept the knife with his hand.

"Junior Sister!" The other party held her wrist, "It's me."

"Senior Brother Huang, Huangfu?" She breathed a sigh of relief when she heard a human voice, "Why are you scaring me? Scaring people will scare people to death." Her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

"The flashlight is broken. I saw someone, so I followed to have a look. I didn't expect it to be you." Huangfulu said, "Junior Sister, why are you here? Didn't I ask you to stay in the dormitory of the management office?"

She suffocated and argued, "I saw a white fox, but the fox ran away, so I chased it here."

"What?" Huangfu Lv's voice became serious, "Junior Sister, you are too reckless, what if it is a trap of goblins and ghosts?"
