    Spring is getting deeper, and the originally cold weather has gradually become warmer

    This town is located in a remote area, and there are not many pedestrians on the streets. However, what is very different from other places is that the streets are neat and uniform, as if they have been planned rigorously and artistically. Except for a few bicycles, there are no other vehicles.  Behind the street planted with expensive landscape plants, there is a villa-style building every 100 meters, about two or three floors, and each building is surrounded by a circle of fences.

    There are no high-rise buildings in the city, but there is a kind of tranquility and peace that is far inferior to the noisy towns.

    Looking from a distance, you can see a few yellow and black dead leaves scattered on the deep asphalt road in front of you. On the tips of the big trees, new buds stretch out and are dotted with a few wisps of dew.  Flowers fall and flowers bloom, spring passes and spring comes, it is the cycle of reincarnation that begins and dead leaves are replaced by new branches.

    In the darkness, a beautiful woman gradually walked out of the shade of the trees.  She stopped slowly under the sunlight, raised her head, and stared at the end of the street shrouded in thin mist.  Although the winter snow had already subsided, Xiao Lin didn't feel any warmth at all.  A cold wind blew silently, giving her a chill in a strange place!

    She withdrew her gaze and walked eastward along the asphalt road, quietly thinking about this supposedly ordinary commission.

    This is Ditan Town, a small town that should be wealthy and peaceful.

    However, since September last year, all calm has been swept into the dust of history.

    Various abnormal phenomena appear frequently, disturbing the residents of the town and making them unable to live in peace!

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    Rin walked straight along the road

    This is a corner of the town leading to the outside world, with a cliff that is not too deep next to it.

    The road is not special. Compared with the outside world, there are even some trees on both sides of the road.

    The air is fresh and the mind becomes clear.

    "Xiao Li, are you here?" After walking for a while on the road that was regarded as a restricted area, Lin took out his mobile phone.

    "We're here, but we haven't found a place to stay yet. This town is really not hospitable at all~" Xiao Li on the other end of the phone said in a foul tone. Rin could tell through the phone that this guy must be pouting now.

    ¡°Okay, okay, stop complaining when you¡¯re working.¡±

    "Hmph, if Sister Lin hadn't accepted this commission, I wouldn't have been willing to come. You also saw the look of the man who went to our affairs office last time. His attitude was very bad! He looked like he looked down on others!!!"

    "Yeah, I'll pay attention next time. If we meet this kind of person again next time, we won't have to deal with it. This time is an exception."

    After comforting Li Li for a few words, Lin put down the phone and continued to follow the only way out of the town.

    She looked around, feeling for any resentment around her.

    The focus of the commission should be on this road. Since half a year ago, people traveling between the town and the outside world have often seen incredible things.  A driver looked at his car window at night, and the window was red. Another saw a figure suddenly appearing in the middle of the road.

    That¡¯s not all¡­

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªGetting lost for no reason

    ¡ª¡ªThe strange number of car accidents

    ¡ª¡ªPedestrians saw ghosts

    ¡ª¡ª-Dense fog suddenly rising

    Finally, various anomalies scared the people in the town, and through certain channels, they found the Underworld Affairs Agency.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    In the central area of ??the town, in the largest building,

    At this time, thirty-four people gathered outside the door, looking at the time from time to time, waiting for someone.

    The leader of this group of people was an old man about fifty years old, wearing a dark robe and wearing a cane.  He looked at the custom-made watch in his hand again and snorted dissatisfied.  After waiting for a while, he raised his head.  There is no kindness that an old man should have, and his wide eyes are full of vigilance.

    "Xiao Zhong, is the person you hired reliable?" After waving his hand, the old man looked at a tall young man behind him and said.

    "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao. The person I got this information from a senior official of the municipal government should be right!" Xiaozhong is a young man in his twenties, tall and with a pretty face.  Shi Ye looked gloomy, and it was Xiao Lin's problem. Half an hour had passed since the agreed time.  .  .

    "That's good. After this thing is over, you go to Lao Qi to get a sum of money. It can be regarded as a reward for you." The old man nodded and continued to wait at the door.  As the mayor of this town, he has absolute authority in this town. Unlike other places, this town has an extremely simple structure and very few people.

    After the old man finished speaking, he looked at the east side of the town, the highest point where nothing existed anymore!

    He nodded with satisfaction.??.

    The town has become rich and prosperous, and that¡¯s enough!

    Since many years ago, many people have gathered around him, looking for money, power, and their own interests.  There are various reasons, but he doesn't care, because he believes that this world is composed of interests and desires connected in series, and this is the whole world!

    ¡­¡­

    After more than ten minutes, Xiao Lin came to the center of the town.

    At this time, the crowd gathered had dispersed, leaving only a middle-aged man in his forties or fifties.

    "Are you Master Xiao?"

    Looking at the little girl with an immature face in front of him, the middle-aged man turned dark and asked with a stern face.  Originally, he had expected that those who dared to call themselves Heavenly Masters were at least fifty or sixty-year-old old men, dressed in Taoist robes and possessing the spirit of an immortal.

    But the person in front of me is really too young!

    "Yes, I am."

    "Hmph, are you sure you can do it? Don't mess up the matter!" The middle-aged man's tone was no longer so polite. If he didn't trust the person in the city government, he would have already wanted to expel him.  .  After a few hurried explanations, he left without producing the materials he had originally prepared.

    ¡®If you don¡¯t have the ability, just get out. If you have the ability, you don¡¯t need that much.  ¡¯

    Xiao Lin was not angry when he heard this. He smiled slightly and said quietly: "Accept your commission. This incident will be solved for you. And please explain the details of the matter clearly. Do you know if there is any  If there are any clues, it will be very tiring to investigate.¡±

    There are rules in the industry. Since she accepted the entrustment, she will complete the matter. As for this person's attitude it is a bit bad.

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    ¡­¡­¡­¡­

    "Rin, the attitude of the people here is so bad, they all look so arrogant!!!"

    After Lin arrived at the meeting place with Xiao Li, Xiao Li immediately started to complain!

    "What's wrong? And why are you still carrying your luggage and not going in?" Rin asked curiously, looking at Xiaoli who was sulking in front of a shabby little hotel with a small bag.

    "Hmph, this town is so boring!" Xiaoli became even more angry after hearing Lin's question.  Pointing to the dilapidated inn, he said: "I searched all over the town, and there is only one dilapidated inn here. It doesn't matter, but it is open but does not do business with people outside the town.  !!!¡±

    "Huh?" Xiao Lin glanced at her doubtfully, and then looked at the long-looking signboard [Sanhe Courtyard] behind her.

    "Are you sure this is the only family in the whole town?"

    "Yeah, my family has asked someone. Rin, let's find a client to help us arrange a place to live. This place looks very bad~" Xiao Li pulled Rin's arm coquettishly.  This commission is a bit far from Fenghua City, so one person must be left to look after the house at the office.  That guy Ning successfully stayed in the office on the condition of cleaning the entire office.

    "No, this is the one." Rin tilted his head and looked at the sign for a while before making his decision.

    ¡ª¡ªThe whole town.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªA hotel.

    ¡ª¡ª¡ª¡ªNo business!  ?

    ¡®It seems interesting~!  ¡¯ With a mysterious smile on her lips, Lin walked into the small hotel that rejected Xiaoli.

    The facilities of the small hotel are very simple. There is no guest in the empty room, but the floor is extremely clean.

    There was an old man in his seventies or eighties sitting in front of the counter that looked like it hadn¡¯t been used for a long time.  He is thin and has a pair of reading glasses on his cloudy eyes.  Seeing someone coming in, he raised his head with difficulty, glanced at the two of them, and said coldly: "You go back, I don't do business here."

    ¡°Old man, if you¡¯re not doing business, why are you opening the door?¡±

    After staring at her for a while, the old man pushed up the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and said: "You young people don't understand what I said. This old man is waiting for someone. We have an agreement and told her to come to my hotel.  Since she hasn¡¯t come yet, I won¡¯t close the door.¡±

    "How many years have you been waiting?"

    "Thirty years."

    "It's been a long time." Rin's tone was a little sighing.

    "It's not long. A person's life can be fast or slow, but you must have your own expectations and interests in life. Waiting for that person to come is my interest, and I can wait another thirty years." The old man's eyes were filled with tears.  Without blinking, his tone was slow but extremely firm.

    Suddenly, he seemed to feel that he had said too much. He stopped, stared at the two of them and said, "Okay, okay, go back to where you came from. This town does not welcome outsiders."

    "Old man, I?I came to investigate the matter on the road to the east.  "

    "Investigation Haha, I finally know I'm afraid!" The old man, who had looked half-dead since the two came in, his hazy eyes brightened up, and he raised his head and laughed a few times.

    Probably because he hadn¡¯t laughed for too long, his wrinkled face relaxed a little. He looked at Xiao Lin quietly and said, "Does this mean that you, a little girl, are a Taoist priest or a ghost-catching master?"

    "Well, that's right."

    ¡°Do me a favor and I¡¯ll provide you with accommodation.¡±
