It was early in the morning again. As usual, Guitong grabbed two coins and jumped from the balcony. At the same time as he jumped down, Ji Lang opened the curtains and walked out on the balcony of the master bedroom next door. He twisted his eyebrows and glanced downstairs, because the light was dim, and the ghost boy's yin was completely blocked by the doll. He could not see the slapped ghost boy doll.

When he walked to the living room, he faintly heard the sound of the ghost boy pulling the drawer just now. After thinking for a moment, Ji Lang opened the small drawer under the coffee table and pulled it up casually. The things in it are not commonly used and very complicated, and he can't see anything unusual after pulling it a few times.

Everything is there, what is the kid looking for when opening the drawer?

Ok?

Ji Lang's hand pulling the drawer paused. Everything was there, but there were fewer coins. There were fewer coins in the drawer. He remembered that when he opened the drawer last time, he grabbed a handful of coins, but now there were only two or three drawers.

This kid steals money? Could it be that he took a coin in the middle of the night and went out shopping? But if you take this two yuan, what can you buy? Lollipop?

Tomorrow I have to mention to Wu Miaomiao that it is okay to have a kid at home, but a kid who can steal things is not good.

At this time, the ghost boy didn't know that his money-stealing behavior was discovered by the male owner, and he planned to file a complaint tomorrow. He is continuing his nightly prank. During this time, he would call Dean Hong at midnight every night on time and on time, and this time was also the happiest time since his death.

During the three years when he turned into a ghost, he wanted to seek revenge from Hong Zhenqing every night, but Hong Zhenqing had a string of powerful beads on his body, and every time he got close, he would be hurt by the light of the Buddha. He tried hundreds of times, and was repelled thousands of times by the Buddha's light. During this period, Hong Zhenqing didn't even know his existence. He couldn't even scare Hong Zhenqing into doing it for three years.

But in the past ten days, he made a phone call every night, but he was able to scream Hong Zhenqing with fright. It was so enjoyable.

Father Hong, starting from today, I won't let you get a good night's sleep at ease.

Guitong thought fiercely, and at the same time dialed the phone proficiently, the familiar "beep" sound came, but the phone was not connected. After the busy tone, Guitong started to dial again. He did this every night. If Hong Zhenqing couldn't answer, he would contact him ten times.

Just when he thought he would have to dial ten times like the previous few times, the call was suddenly connected.

Gui Tongzi was a little surprised, but soon adjusted his condition, and his immature voice called Father Hong sweetly: "Daddy Hong, why don't you come to the basement to look for me, I'm so cold~~~"

"Xiaoning." Dean Hong called out.

The ghost boy was startled, and then chuckled: "Papa Hong, you still remember my name."

"Of course I remember that your name is Xiang Ning. When you were five years old, you were abandoned at the entrance of the orphanage. You are good, smart, and obedient. You have good grades in your studies. You took the double hundred in the first exam." Hong The dean spoke very carefully, speaking softly as if speaking to his son.

Xiang Ning was recalled by Dean Hong's words. He said cruelly: "I used to think that you were a good person~~"

"I used to be a good person." Dean Hong said.

"Then why do you want to change, why do you want to kill us." Xiang Ning asked.

"Xiaoning, this is very complicated, I can't explain it clearly. But at the beginning, I didn't intend to kill you." Dean Hong said.

"But you plan to kill Miao Miao, no, you are selling Miao Miao to others." Xiang Ning will never forget his shock when he first discovered this incident.

"You are too smart, a seven-year-old child, why do you know so much." Dean Hong seemed extremely calm tonight, without the panic of the previous few days, he asked back, "Xiaoning, besides you, also Are there other children with you?"

"Why, scared?"

"It seems to be gone." Dean Hong often sighed, "Among those children, you are the only ones who were grieving when you died, so you were the only ones who turned into ghosts."

"Even if it was only me, I would come to kill you."

"I heard that if you become a ghost, you can't reincarnate, right?" Dean Hong asked.

"Even so, I will make you unhappy."

"Why bother? You are such a clever child, why bother. You are dead, and you don’t even want me in the next life, just to get my revenge?" Dean Hong sighed, his voice full of regret, as if he was sincerely in his heart. I regret that Xiang Ning can't have a good next life.

"You don't be hypocritical." Xiang Ning will never believe Dean Hong's false gentleness anymore. Once, he deceived all the children in the orphanage with this gentle and caring voice.

"You are for Tingting." Dean Hong said suddenly.

Xiang Ning froze, and then the whole person burst out a murderous intent that he had never had before: "You are not allowed to move her!"

"Sure enough, it's for Tingting. You must visit her often. You know that her illness is getting more and more serious. She is my next goal." Dean Hong said flatly.

"You are not allowed to move her, and you are not allowed to move her." Xiang Ning was almost crazy, wishing to rush to the other end of the phone to tear off Dean Hong.

"You can't get close to my body." Dean Hong said confidently, "I have a string of beads on my body. Dao Qingxuan said that this string of beads can make the Li ghost fly away. Come here and let me break you up, I will let Tingting go. ."

No matter how smart Xiang Ning is, he is only a seven-year-old child, and Hong Zhenqing is an adult. He knows very well that Xiang Ning has been dead for three years. If there is a way to hurt himself, he would have come directly to himself instead of using this. This kind of prank method.

"Hong Zhenqing!" Xiang Ning was extremely angry.

"Anyway, you are already a ghost, and you can't reincarnate. It's better to give this opportunity to Tingting. As long as you are obedient, not only will I not move Tingting, but I will also find a way to cure her disease and let her go to school and college. You know, Dad Hong has also provided for several older brothers and sisters to go to college." Dean Hong continued to threaten, "If you don’t come, tomorrow, I’ll have someone come to give Tingting an estimate. Xiaoning, before dawn, I’ll have to see you."

Xiang Ning's small body was shaking constantly in the phone booth.

I was wrong, he shouldn't make this call, shouldn't let him be aware of his identity, and shouldn't let him have the opportunity to threaten him.

However, Tingting's illness became more and more serious, and Hong Zhenqing went to talk to Tingting more and more times. It was the same in the past. If any child in the hospital feels unwell, Hong Zhenqing will go to him to chat and talk, and then the child's condition will deteriorate, and then he will die soon.

"You really won't hurt Tingting?" Xiang Ning asked aloud.

"No, I promise." Dean Hong promised.

Xiang Ning knew that he shouldn't believe Hong Zhenqing, but he had no other way. Hong Zhenqing had the Buddha beads. Even if his strength came back three months later, he might not be able to kill him. But if he wants to hurt Tingting, he can do it tomorrow.

At both ends of the phone, there was silence. Dean Hong waited patiently, and the time for Xiang Ning to buy two coins into the phone was about to come.

"I'm at the public phone booth next to Changqiao Road. Come and find me."

An hour later, a dark gray Volkswagen car parked next to the utility phone booth on Changqiao Road. Hong Zhenqing got out of the car and opened the phone booth door.

At half past seven in the morning.

Ji Lang bought breakfast and found Wu Miaomiao as if he was looking for something as soon as he entered the house.

"What are you looking for?" Ji Lang asked.

"My baby is gone." As Wu Miaomiao said, she took a broom and swept it under the sofa, trying to see if the ghost boy was hiding under the sofa.

"The ghost doll with a red dot on its forehead?" Ji Lang asked.

"Correct."

"No need to look for it. He is not in the room. He didn't come back after jumping out of the balcony last night." Ji Lang said.

"He ran away?" Wu Miaomiao was startled, "What is he running?"

"Maybe I found out because of stealing money." Ji Lang arranged breakfast, "Come over for dinner first."

"Stealing money, did he steal our money?" Wu Miaomiao asked in shock.

"It's stealing my money."

"Isn't your money my money?" Wu Miaomiao said casually.

"..." Ji Lang thought of the 300,000 that Wu Miaomiao had transferred to him some time ago, and silently stopped.

"What is he doing with the money? Can he go out to buy things? What does he want to buy?" Wu Miaomiao can't figure out what the ghost boy wants money for, if it's the money from the underworld, it can be said to go to the ghost market. The money from the sun cannot be used in the ghost market.

"It's also possible that he ran away." Ji Lang asked, "You sealed him in a doll, why didn't you restrict his actions, instead let him run all over the floor?"

"Because he and I are now in a cooperative relationship, not the ghost I caught and sealed. He earned 300,000 yuan for me. I can't keep people in confinement." Wu Miao said in a vague way.

The Wu clan’s treatment of Li ghosts is a little different from those of ordinary Xuanmen. As long as they see that Li ghosts can be saved, they will be saved, and if they can’t be saved, they will disperse. In short, they can't let the ghosts mess the world. In the eyes of the Witch Clan, Li ghosts are divided into two types, one is the Li ghost in the trading period, and the other is the Li ghost not in the trading period.

During the trading period, Li Gui is the wizard's business partner. At this time, as long as Li Gui does not breach the contract, the wizard will not have too strong restraints on Li Gui, and will even appropriately meet Li Gui's requirements and try his best to cooperate happily. Moreover, at this time, the ghost was bound by the deed, and his ability was limited, so he couldn't do anything bad.

As for the ghosts who are no longer in the trading period, how they get along depends on the mood of the wizard. If you can't kill or not, it's also said that you will not have free activities like a ghost boy and watching TV in the middle of the night.

"Your wizard's service attitude is pretty good." Ji Lang couldn't help but complain.

"Of course, if someone makes money for you, and you can't get any benefits, when I cast the spell next time, there will be no supernatural object to respond to me." Wu Miao said, "Furthermore, the Xuanmen Baijia, only we are the witches. The clan’s ability to rely on service attitude and integrity."

"..." Ji Lang has no idea how to complain.

"Then he runs now, will it affect your business?" Ji Lang asked.

"The contract has been completed, and his power has been completely transformed. At this time, no matter what he does, he can't interrupt the contract, unless his soul is gone." Wu Miao said in a vague way.

This is also another reason why Wu Miaomiao didn't restrict Guitong, because once the contract was established, Guitong became a little puppet with no self-protection ability. At this time, he was the weakest person who needed protection. Normal ghosts, especially those transformed into ghosts, are souls with deep obsessions, and no one will seek their own death.

"Then you still have to get him back." Ji Lang said, "If he is in danger, the contract will not be broken?"

"Yeah." Wu Miaomiao grabbed the bun and took a bite. "I'll draw a circle and see where he is. Xianggong, I won't go to the studio today."

Ji Lang knew that she was going to find a ghost doll, so he nodded and said nothing.

"Dare to run around and steal money. When I get it back, I will stop him and let him be a real puppet in the next two months." Wu Miaomiao said viciously.

After breakfast, Ji Lang drove to work, while Wu Miaomiao found a piece of white paper and drew for a while.

The ghost boy has Wu Miaomiao's witch power, so no matter where he runs, Wu Miaomiao can see it from the formation. The array map was drawn quickly, the contract connection was strengthened, and Wu Miaomiao immediately sensed the direction of the ghost boy.

"So far? How did he get there." Wu Miaomiao opened the phone map and looked at it. The distance spanned half a city, and the ghost boy was at the far north of Haicheng. Although she didn't restrict the movement of the ghost boy, she couldn't run so far in a day with her palm-sized body.

"Go and take a look first." Wu Miaomiao went out and drove her to the northern suburbs of the city, and then got out of the car by herself. Following the seal of the contract between her and the ghost boy, she slowly searched for it.

After searching for about half an hour, Wu Miaomiao stopped at the door of an orphanage.

"Red Heart Orphanage?" Wu Miaomiao was startled, and walked in.

"Hello, are you here to be a volunteer?" Not long after Wu Miaomiao entered the yard, a kind-looking middle-aged man appeared and asked him.

"Hello." As soon as the middle-aged man approached, Wu Miaomiao felt an extremely peaceful power from him.

"I'm the dean of the orphanage, you can call me Dean Hong." Dean Hong pointed his finger inside and asked, "This is your first time here. I will show you around?"

Wu Miaomiao's gaze fixed on a string of sandalwood beads exposed from Dean Hong's wrist. It turned out to be a Buddhist bead from a high monk. It seems that Dean Hong is a great person, otherwise he wouldn't be able to get such a bead.

"Okay, just don't know what I can help?" Wu Miaomiao responded with a smile.

"They are all kids here. You don't look very big. They are still students. They are very happy to play with them." Dean Hong said kindly. "Today is a working day. Many volunteers have to go to work today. No one Children are very lonely to play with."

"Play, then I'm good at it."

Under the leadership of Dean Hong, Wu Miaomiao briefly visited the orphanage. The orphanage is not very big. It was rebuilt from an abandoned kindergarten. It has two floors with a loft. Upstairs is the children's residence, downstairs is the activity area, and there is a bungalow in the courtyard, which is the kitchen of the kindergarten.

"Is that attic a warehouse?" Wu Miaomiao couldn't help but ask when Dean Hong hadn't introduced the attic.

"Yes, there are some discarded things stored inside, which are messy, so I won't take you to visit." Dean Hong said.

Wu Miaomiao nodded, almost certain in his heart that the ghost boy was in the warehouse in the attic.

"Well, you play with the children downstairs for a while. I'll go to the kitchen to see how lunch is going." Dean Hong left Wu Miaomiao on the first floor and went to the kitchen by himself.

Wu Miaomiao looked at the direction of the attic, then took out a slap-sized doll from his bag.

"What a beautiful doll, is it for us?" A four or five-year-old girl leaned close to Wu Miaomiao, staring at the puppet doll on Wu Miaomiao's palm, her face full of affection.

"No, this elder sister is useful." Wu Miao said silently.

"Oh." The little girl was disappointed.

"...Let's go to the window, can I play the puzzle with you?" Wu Miaomiao roared.

"Okay." The little girl was very well-behaved and didn't ask for anything because Wu Miaomiao didn't give her a baby doll.

Wu Miaomiao took the girl and sat down on the tatami by the window, and then put the doll in her hand outside the window while the little girl looked down at the puzzle.

"Go to the attic." Wu Miaomiao whispered.

"The attic is very dangerous. The dean said you can't go casually." The little girl heard Wu Miaomiao's words and thought it was the young lady who was talking to herself.

"Really, then we won't go." Wu Miaomiao answered calmly.

The puppet doll got the instructions and climbed up the water pipe outside the window, and quickly climbed to the attic window. It is summer now, the windows are basically open for ventilation, and the puppet doll enters the room with little effort. When he entered the room, the puppet doll looked around in the room. After searching for a while, he stopped in front of a shoebox that looked used. The puppet doll stretched out his short hand and just opened the shoe box. A light from the Buddha shone through a gap, and the puppet doll fell directly to the ground in fright.

"Yeah, how come there is Buddha's light here, I was almost overwhelmed." The puppet doll was holding her little heart in fear.

Although he was going to the underworld to reincarnate sooner or later, he still had a few days to stay in the world, so he didn't want to go to the underworld in advance.

The puppet doll didn't dare to approach the Buddha light, so ran to the door of the room, climbed up and unscrewed the door. In order not to scare the children outside, the spirit body left the doll after leaving the room and floated directly to the first floor.

"Sorcerer, wizard, there is a strong Buddha light upstairs, I can't get close. But I opened the door for you, you go and see for yourself." Spiritual body said.

"Buddha light?" Wu Miaomiao subconsciously thought of the string of Buddhist beads in Dean Hong's hand.

Could it be that what Guitong wanted to do to Dean Hong, but he was suppressed by Dean Hong with prayer beads? It shouldn't be. Just what Gui Boy wants to do, he has to wait three months for his strength to recover.

No, this is not the time to think about this. Although the ghost boy has its own witch power protection, the string of Buddhist beads is extremely strong, and the ghost boy is essentially a ghost. If it takes a long time, the soul will still be injured. At that time, Han Meng's body was about to be in trouble.

No, the contract cannot be destroyed, and the integrity cannot be lost. This is the first money I made for the xianggong, and there is absolutely no compensation.

Wu Miaomiao thought about it for a while, and let the little girl play the puzzle for a while on the pretext of going to the bathroom, and then ran upstairs without people paying attention. Wu Miaomiao quickly reached the attic, and the door of the room had been opened as expected.

Wu Miaomiao just wanted to quickly get back the doll possessed by the ghost boy, and immediately pushed the door in.

The attic was bigger than Wu Miaomiao had imagined, and it was filled with a lot of things. She clearly felt the breath of a ghost boy, but because there were too many things for a while, she was not sure where it was.

"Foguang, shoe box." Wu Miaomiao stopped in front of a pile of boxes, and when he was about to open them one by one, the door of the attic was suddenly pushed open vigorously.

Wu Miaomiao jumped with a loud bang.

"Hong... Dean Hong." Wu Miaomiao shouted with some guilty conscience.

"Classmate Miaomiao, you don't play with the children on the first floor, what are you doing here?" Dean Hong stared at Wu Miaomiao steadily.

Wu Miaomiao originally came to the ghost boy secretly. At this time, he didn't know what was going on, so he had to excuse: "That's it. When you showed me just now, I seemed to have lost something, so I wanted to look for it. , And then I found that the door of the attic was not closed, so I came in with curiosity to take a look. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to, nor messed up the warehouse."

"It doesn't matter, the meal is ready, go downstairs to eat." Dean Hong looked at Wu Miaomiao with a smile.

Suddenly, Wu Miaomiao felt a chill, and his heart couldn't help. Dean Hong was hostile to him. Is it because he entered the warehouse, or is it because he misunderstood something?

"Dean Hong, I haven't found what I lost." Wu Miaomiao, who wanted to temporarily avoid looking for another opportunity, suddenly changed his mind.

"You haven't entered the attic just now, how come you fell here." Dean Hong is still smiling, but Wu Miaomiao's chill is getting colder and colder all over him.

"I just found it at the top of the stairs, but when I entered the attic, I accidentally dropped it again. It's a doll, probably the size of a slap." Wu Miaomiao gestured, "There is a cinnabar red spot on his forehead. Has Dean Hong seen it? "

The smile on Dean Hong's face finally faded, and he stared at Wu Miaomiao sharply: "It's you, who sealed Xiao Ning in the doll."

Dean Hong really knew Guitong. Could it be that Guitong had any relationship with this dean before he was alive?

Wu Miaomiao did not connect the deaths of Dean Hong and Guitong in the slightest, because a person full of auspicious aura really couldn't let people associate him with the bad guys.

"President Hong, you know exactly what I'm talking about." Wu Miaomiao said, "I'll tell you the truth, that doll is my thing, I came here to find it. I don't know how it got to you. I don’t care about the reason, but in the next two and a half months, it must be in my hands. I hope you can return it to me. Of course, if you have any conditions, I will do it. ."

"You sealed Xiao Ning in the doll?" Dean Hong asked.

"Yes, but don't get me wrong, I didn't hurt him by sealing him. Instead, if you suppress him with prayer beads, it will make him gossip." Wu Miaomiao thought that Dean Hong had misunderstood her deliberately sealing Guitongzi, so she explained.

But who knows that as soon as her words fell, the chill from Dean Hong became stronger, like a sharp dagger, almost stabbing her face.

"You..." Wu Miaomiao's expression instantly became alert.

At this time, a somewhat shrill female voice came from the stairs: "Dean, it's time for dinner, the children are waiting for you."

In Wu Miaomiao's application for alert, Dean Hong suddenly opened his mouth and shouted: "Aunt Wang, call the police, someone is stealing something here."

what?

Before Wu Miaomiao could react from what happened suddenly, Dean Hong suddenly rushed towards her, pushed him away, and then snatched the shoebox behind Wu Miaomiao and took out the ghost boy inside.

"Witch...Master..." After leaving the shoe box, the ghost boy saw Wu Miaomiao. At this moment, he was held by the Buddha beads, his body could not move, and he could barely speak.

Wu Miaomiao was shocked. The Guitong had left her for too long. The witch power weakened and was suppressed by the Buddhist beads. At this time, the Buddha's light had penetrated into the contract. If he did not take it back, Guitong's soul body would be damaged. She didn't understand at this moment, this Dean Hong simply wanted the ghost boy to lose his soul.

"Give him back to me." Wu Miaomiao stood up and was about to grab it.

Where could Dean Hong give it? He dodged several times, but was caught by Wu Miaomiao every time. He quickly realized that he was not Wu Miaomiao's opponent, and finally a fierce look flashed on his face, and he backed to the door. , Anxiously Wu Miaomiao's pushing force, deliberately stepped on the air, and rolled straight down from the attic.

"Ahhhh, Dean!" Aunt Wang's scream of horror resounded through the entire orphanage.

Ten minutes later, Ji Lang, who was working in the studio, received a call: "Ji Lang?"

"Yes." Ji Lang replied.

"We are the Xiyan Village Police Station, do you know Wu Miaomiao?"

"What's wrong with her?" The police station?

"Wu Miaomiao broke into the house and wounded people, and was detained by us."

"..." Ji Lang.
