0521_ Does it look familiar?

"If this painting is realistic enough," commented a certain crowd, "judging from the fingers, it is indeed a woman."

Potato Skewer Youth: "It must be realistic, you have to trust my skills, this is definitely a female ghost."

Crowd: "Hey, hey, you still said 'strange woman' at the beginning, how can this be 'definitely a female ghost'?"

Potato Skewer Youth: "Because it's really, really weird. I can't draw that weird fur with my superb drawing skills. In short, she is either a ghost or possessed by a ghost! Absolutely!"

Possibly because of being the center of attention, the young potato skewers were quite excited.How to describe the excitement level, um... the level is that he seems to have forgotten that he was answering my question originally, and may even have forgotten my existence.

But I'm sorry, I have to interrupt your fluttering excitement to refresh your sense of existence.

I took out a photo of Chai Du, which was the photo on the day I got the incense burner, and asked the potato skewer youth: "Does this look familiar?" In theory, Chai Du should have dressed like this when he got the incense burner.

Young Potato Skewers: "It looks familiar, Chai Du, who plays "Cultivating Fate". I don't think I've seen this life photo. Are you also a fan of Chai Du? Me too. What a coincidence, let's have a drink to celebrate one time?"

Me: "..." The star is really troublesome.

"Hey, wait a minute," the potato skewer youth said, "Chaidu in this photo, if you change the angle..." He took the photo from my hand, walked back to the other side of the barbecue booth, and then tilted the photo , shouted, "Ah! That's it, that's it, that's right, that's it, exactly the same."

Next to him was a young man who was about the same age as him, and tried to look at the photo from the same angle as him. After a few seconds, he said disdainfully, "What's the same? It's far from your picture, okay?" ? They all said not to bump into the common ground, it's embarrassing to watch."

Potato Skewer Youth: "You put a robe on her. Use your imagination, you know?"

Someone wondered: "The robe that covers you from head to toe covers up all the features, how do you think it looks exactly the same?"

"That's right, you can't even be sure about the other person's height. After all, how do you know if that person is wearing high heels? The same is true for the figure. What if there is a quilt wrapped under the person's robe?"

0522_ have a drink

The potato string youth propped his lower eyelids with his fingers: "With my eyesight of countless people, of course I can see through the cover. That female ghost is definitely Chai Du. Alas, Chai Du was not famous back then, and the photos that came out later They were all well-dressed, but I never thought of them, what a mistake. This brother still has vision."

Seeing me: "What is that robe like? Color, material, or any other feature."

Youth with Potato Skewers: "That day, the street lights were broken, and there was no moon, and there was no one around, no cars, and shops..."

"He doesn't know." The crowd commented.

Potato Skewer Youth: "The color should be black, or very dark gray. I really don't see the material. It's a bit like yarn, but it feels very thick. It looks like many layers of yarn overlapped together, but when it swings There is no layering."

Me: "Does it look like the black mist has condensed into the shape of the robe?"

Potato Skewers Youth: "It's true what you said, but it's too condensed... Hey, I found that we can understand each other very well. Look, I can answer anything you say, and you can answer anything I say. Pick up. Don't you really want to have a drink together to celebrate meeting your best friend?"

So, it wasn't that Chai Du put on something impromptu, but that she and this young potato skewer stumbled into something by mistake.Oh, Chaidu may not have entered by mistake, but was introduced on purpose, but this potato string was almost certainly entered by mistake, and he was lucky to be able to leave intact, reminding me of Shi Bolin.

So I said, "Okay, let's go have a drink."

The young man with potato skewers tied his tongue: "Really, really?"

I bought a small stainless steel bowl from the barbecue stall owner that just used up the seasoning in it. I washed the remaining seasoning in the water soaked with lotus root slices, and then let the fur ball scratch its paws, and the small bowl became two pieces. half, and then I kneaded the two halves together, and finally kneaded them into a small stainless steel ball.The little ball was placed near the mouth of the fur ball, and the fur ball took a bite and spit it out on my hand, and I kneaded the bitten piece back into the bitten gap, and then became a round ball.

I put the ball back to the place where the barbecue stall owner put the bowl before. In the silence, I took out a paper towel and began to wipe my hands, and wipe the paws and mouth of the fur ball—this bowl has been used for too long, and it is impossible to wash it with water. It wasn't clean, I used my spiritual power to separate it when I kneaded it, and it didn't stick to my hands, but I still need to act like 'I'm a mortal' in front of everyone.

In the sound of crackling oil droplets, the barbecue stall owner flicked the small ball with a seasoning brush, the ball fell to the ground, Gululu rolled to the feet of the young man with potato skewers, touched his shoes, and stopped. Looking up at the young man with potato skewers, stained with oil and dust.

0523_ Career

The young potato skewer named Tan Mu, picked up the ball to confirm the authenticity, looked at me like a quail, and swallowed - this bite must have nothing to do with lust.

I smiled and said to him: "Let's go, let's have a drink, I treat you."

Tan Mu laughed as if crying: "I..."

Me: "Don't you give me face?"

"Reward, it must be rewarded." The crowd who came back to their senses booed, "Go quickly, don't you still let the beauty wait for you?"

Me: "Don't worry, I won't beat you."

Tan Mu: "...Thank you..."

Tan Mu and I took a can of beer and sat in front of the supermarket to drink—he insisted on finding a safe public place with a lot of well-meaning people to drink.

Well, the supermarket is quite lively now, many people come to buy discounted food, have a late-night snack, or just come to play with toys and read magazines.

Tan Mu: "Are you a secret agent, the kind who specializes in investigating supernatural events?"

Don't browse the endless posts all day long.

I don’t understand, why in this life there are monks, a specific and practical group, who can be responsible for various abnormal events, why so many strange rumors can still spread in the mortal world, and they even fabricate a variety of people who are not monks but have pregnant women? A special person with special skills?

Me: "If the person you saw was really Caidu, then what she was holding at that time should be an incense burner. My target is that incense burner. Can you provide any clues?"

Tan Mu: "I didn't even know it was an incense burner..."

Me: "How did that incense burner appear and you didn't see it?"

Tan Mu: "No. When I saw it, Chai Du was already holding the incense burner and giving money."

Me: "How sure are you that it's Chaidu?"

Tan Mu: "Ten percent, one hundred percent."

I:"……"

Tan Mu: "Really, you are not in my line of business. You don't know that everyone's body and posture are different, just like fingerprints. Ordinary people may think that many fingerprints are similar, but Professional instruments can tell you, in fact, each one is different, and my eyes are at the level of professional instruments in identifying people. Of course, I am not very mature, so when I did not connect the female ghost and Chai , I didn't realize that they were alone, but after connecting, I was sure that I could not judge wrongly."

Me: "What do you do?"

Tan Mu: "Music is my profession, and then, this is my career."

Here'?"

Tan Mu: "Body art."

Ah……

Tan Mu: "Don't look down on this art, I tell you beauty, you must have misunderstood it, in fact..."

I soaked it from the Albizia sect, you tell me? "Let's talk about the scene opposite Chaidu first."

0524_ empty talk

Tan Mu froze: "That's nothing to say, it's just air anyway."

Me: "It's not the same as usual?"

Tan Mu: "I didn't see it clearly...First, my attention was attracted by the strange Chaidu. Second, I paid attention to people, not architecture."

Me: "Before you saw Chaidu that day, there must have been a sudden change in the surrounding environment, that is, from a normal environment with people coming and going, to a weird environment with no one. There should be a reverse mutation. Do you remember where it changed?"

Tan Mu: "I didn't pay much attention when I went there. Of course I was listening to music all the time. I remember it very clearly when I ran away, because I was so frightened that I was going crazy. Suddenly, the surrounding environment changed and I returned to the world alive. My mood suddenly changed. Relax, that position..."

I took out the electronic map, zoomed in on the area around the barbecue stand, and asked Tan Mu to identify it.

"The clarity of your map is great." Tan Mu said casually, "Here, this is the location, this intersection, I remember it very clearly, when I rushed out, I was almost hit by a car and scolded" I’m going on a rampage and looking for death’. Later, I thought about it, and it seemed that when I went there, the environment changed at this location, and the music sound from the earphones suddenly became clear.”

Me: "Is the music in the earphones always on?"

Tan Mu: "It's not broken, it's always been there. Didn't I get scared and stupid? I didn't bother to take off the earphones, so I kept wearing them. During the whole process, there was always a soundtrack. And in that weird area, the music was even more intense. It’s clear. It made me have a psychological shadow on those songs, and I basically didn’t dare to listen to them when I was alone at night.”

It seems that someone has set up an formation there. If it is only aimed at Chaidu, the scope is a bit too wide. If it is not...

Tan Mu: "Hey, aren't you really from some secret department?"

Me: "Actually, I've already died."

Tan Mu: "..."

Me: "I still remember the feeling before death, the passing of life, the soul overlooking the body, I seem to remember every detail, and it seems that it is just my fantasy."

Tan Mu: "I... I remembered that I still have an appointment tonight, so I'm leaving first, goodbye, goodbye..."

Me: "Leave a contact information, maybe I need to talk to you."

Tan Mu: "No need, no need, I often go to that barbecue stand, if you have something to do, you can just leave a message there, I will not occupy your time privately. So what, I really have something to do, let's go first, haha, goodbye……"

He walked away quickly, far away—beyond the hearing range of ordinary people—I can still hear him muttering: "I don't see you anymore, I have to find a sect to get rid of evil spirits..."

Tsk tsk tsk, if you are lustful but not courageous, I don't think your career has much potential for development.You know, real perverts should fuck all hell.Empty talk is worthless.
