When I was a Taoist

Chapter 565
"It should be, otherwise the entire slum would definitely not be without a single figure."

I nodded, and could only continue walking forward, not believing that no one would dare to come out in broad daylight.Just when I was about to faint, I finally found that there was a small shop open in front of me, and an old man was leaning on a recliner, holding a radio in his hand and dozing off.

Fenghuang and I immediately stepped forward, cleared our throats and asked, "Grandpa, why do people here leave so much?"

The old man was woken up by me, and his face immediately showed an impatient look.It's just that when I took out a banknote from country B, his eyes immediately widened, and he quickly snatched the banknote away, grinning his big yellow teeth and said, "Here, everyone is scared by those weird rumors. Run away. Those who have no money to move can only hide at home all day and all night, lest they be torn to pieces by monsters."

"Is there a monster here?" With a smile on my face, I hurriedly asked: "What does the monster you see look like, and when was the last time you saw it?"

However, the old man sneered, shook his head and said: "Actually, there is no monster. In my opinion, it is just a scam to scare people. Just half a month ago, a young man here suddenly reported to the police, saying that he had encountered a monster." A skeleton monster, and killed his friend. But the police finally told us that this guy was a drug addict, and there was no trace of the so-called monster. It is only possible that he had hallucinations and killed his friend by mistake."

Although the old man said he didn't care, but in my opinion, it must be the skeleton monster!
The old man didn't know what I was thinking, and he was still talking endlessly: "But after a few days, the police came here again and carried out a corpse from a house. This corpse is exactly the same as the one a few days ago. They all had their necks cut. Now everyone is even more panicked, many people have moved one after another, and others have no money to move, so they can only hide in the house, so it has become what you see."

"It seems that I came to the wrong place. This is indeed the place where skeleton monsters appear the most."

I was secretly happy, and then asked curiously: "Since there are monsters here, why are you not afraid, but sitting here carelessly, aren't you afraid that you will be stared at by monsters?"

"Hey, there are no monsters here, they are just scaring themselves."

The old man curled his lips, and said with some disdain: "If it was really a monster, it would have killed me long ago, how can I sit here and take a nap? But it's okay, most of the people living here are bastards, how peaceful are they?" I've had a lot of leisure too."

Hearing this, I couldn't help feeling that the old man was really optimistic, and I'm afraid he wouldn't think so when he really encountered the skeleton monster.But I still pretended to be interested, and continued to ask: "Then do you know, has anyone here seen a skeleton monster with their own eyes?"

The old man pondered for a moment, then nodded and said: "That's true. When the police came last time, there was a boy who said that he saw the monster with his own eyes and watched the monster kill people. But the police just took him back to ask After a few words, I put it back and treated it as a neuropathy."

Hearing this, I couldn't help being overjoyed, and hurriedly asked: "Grandpa, please tell me his address quickly, I have something very important with him, which is related to the monster this time."

Seeing the weird look in the old man's eyes, I took out another stack of banknotes from my pocket and stuffed them into the old man's hand.The latter suddenly smiled and said while counting the money in his hand: "That kid, he has been hiding at home since that day and has never come out. You go straight along here, the most dilapidated building on the right The house is his home. You can pay him to come out and try, this guy is a drug addict, he will do anything for money."

After finishing speaking, the old man carefully hid the money in his pocket, lay down happily and took a nap again.Fenghuang and I followed the old man's guidance all the way to the end of this street, and sure enough, we found an unusually dilapidated house on the right, and the windows were all temporarily twisted from wire.However, the windows seemed to be nailed with wooden boards from the inside, and the door was closed tightly. It seemed that this guy was really frightened by the monster.

I knocked on the door and waited for a long time without hearing a response.Seeing this, I could only slip a few banknotes in through the crack of the door, and said loudly: "I am a Taoist priest from the East, and I can solve your troubles, and I can guarantee that your life will improve a lot. I think, You should be in need of money now, right?"

After a while, I found that the money stuffed in the door was taken away, and then the door opened a gap with a "squeak", and a dark red eye looked at me from behind the door, full of Fear and despair.

Seeing that he was willing to open the door, I breathed a sigh of relief, tried my best to maintain a friendly smile, and said, "I want to inquire about some news, as long as you can tell me, I promise to give you a large sum of money to get you out of my life." The current predicament. I think you will never refuse this kind of condition."

The person behind the door hesitated for a moment, and asked in a hoarse voice: "Are you sure you didn't lie to me? I need [-] now, can you get it?"

Patting my chest, I agreed without hesitation.Anyway, it's not my own money, so I'll just ask the Holy See for reimbursement when the time comes.

Seeing that I agreed so readily, his vigilance relaxed a lot, and he finally took off the iron chain inside the gate, and poked his head out.This is a young man with a thin face, his curly yellow hair seems to have not been taken care of for a long time, and it is as fluffy and messy as a bird's nest.His face was full of fear and despair, looking at me like he was looking at his own hope.

"What do you want to ask, I can tell you as much as possible." The young man scratched his head and asked.

I handed him the information about the skeleton monster I got from the Holy See, and asked: "As far as I know, you have been attacked by monsters twice here, and you have seen the appearance of monsters with your own eyes. I want you to identify them." , Does the monster you see look like this?"

Hearing my words, the young man's face, which had improved a little, turned pale again. He took a look at the document with slightly trembling palms, and immediately threw away the photo of the skeleton monster, screaming: "Go away! Damn monster! I'll go away!"

While screaming, the young man slammed the door shut, and then there was the sound of chains locking the door.No matter how much I knocked on the door to persuade, the young man just screamed frantically in the room.

"Let's go first."

Fenghuang suddenly opened his mouth to remind me at this time, I turned my head to look, and found that among the many houses on the opposite street, many faces were lying on the windows and looking at me, their eyes were full of strange expressions.I sighed. It seems that the people here are really frightened by the monster. If they want to find out the whereabouts of the skeleton monster, they can only wait for this guy to calm down.
