Chapter 299 Dog-legged Guo Fan, digging for treasure in the fish pond
“If any of you go dig for the treasure map I produced, the treasure unearthed will be distributed according to everyone’s contribution.”
Lin Yuanyang raised the vellum treasure map in his hand and asked "you", but he always looked at Yang Jian, Li Jun and Guo Fan.
Guo Fan's eyes flashed, and he took the initiative to step forward and said: "Boss, let me go, I have good water properties."
As he said this, he took off his clothes, and then he just plopped down. Jumping into the fish pond, that action is simply not too skillful.
A Hong chuckled and said: "Boss Lin, this employee of yours is quite interesting."
"His flattery skills are pretty good, but his strength is a bit lacking. I hope his professional ability can be stronger." Lin Yuan smiled helplessly.
It can be seen that he has a good impression of Guo Fan, but he is not satisfied with Guo Fan's strength.
Li Jun wanted to defend Guo Fan. After all, Guo Fan was also sent by the headquarters, and he also provided a lot of information to the headquarters during this period. He was a meritorious person.
And, is Guo Fan really weak?
Once the ghost in that spiritual place is released, Guo Fan will be equivalent to a real ghost, and he will be able to fight against any supernatural event.
Logically speaking, Guo Fan like this cannot be considered weak, otherwise he would not be sent to the Peace Hotel by the headquarters.
It’s just...
Think about the ghost security guard, the starving old woman, the twin kings, the young worker Fang Shiming, and the older generation Meng Xiaodong and Zhang Bohua, leaving only one corpse , Li Qingzhi is suspected to be still conscious...
He Yin'er who stole the fourth layer of ghost lake...
Only He Yuelian and Liu Qingqing seemed to be a little worse. The others, whether they were humans or ghosts, seemed to be no weaker than Guo Fan, and most of them were much stronger.
Got it!
Guo Fan seems to be the weakest indeed, so that’s okay.
Li Jun decisively put aside the idea of speaking for Guo Fan, but he was curious, "Boss Lin, you don't seem to care too much about this treasure hunting game."
Lin Yuan said in surprise: "How did you tell?"
"Although few folk treasures have been unearthed, as long as they are confirmed, the unearthed treasures, belongings, etc. are priceless. Boss Lin, although you have a Peace Hotel, your current business can only be said to be average. If If you really face a priceless treasure, you wouldn’t want to give it away so directly. If there are too many treasures, you will kill us, right?”
Li Jun thought. Just say whatever you want. A Hong, who was standing by the side, felt something was wrong. She wanted to make a look, but it was obviously too late.
On the other hand, Yang Jian stood by with an indifferent expression, staring directly at the bottom of the fish pond.
Lin Yuan laughed and said: "Just kidding, I am a serious businessman, how can I do things like killing people and hiding treasures? Besides, this is not a wilderness, this is plum blossoms There are so many people in the mountain village. If something happens, it is impossible to hide it."
After a pause, he picked up the treasure map and gestured, "The material of this treasure map is good. But it’s too new, and the map on it is not professional at all. It looks like a child’s graffiti, and the words “treasure map” on the back are obviously printed on it. What does this mean? "
What does this mean?
Ahong probed: "Do you mean this is just a kid's joke?"
"It is possible, but it may also be a toy deliberately made by a parent to play with his or her children. . So, even if there is something hidden in the treasure spot above, it may have been dug up. Even if it has not been dug up, it is not a valuable thing. Just treat it as a game, a game that everyone plays together. . ”
When Lin Yuan said this, Li Jun and A Hong suddenly realized... what the hell.
This is obviously something brought out by the real store manager. It may be related to the ghost in the dream last night. It is definitely not a game of playing house with children.
If the dream last night didn't end inexplicably, and A Hong and Yang didn't mention it, at least Li Jun would definitely die in it.
Obviously, the ghost in the dream is very scary, very scary!
However, there is a "store manager" here, so they are not worried. Just as they guessed before, if the store manager is really high in the clouds, overlooking all living beings.
The "store manager" is an NPC released by the real store manager. This time, he will lead them through the plot. It seems dangerous, but in fact there will be no problem, and they don't even need to take action... That's probably it.
“There seems to be something weird in the water.”
Yang Jian said suddenly, which made Li Jun and A Hong quickly look at the bottom of the water.
The fish pond is actually not deep. If the water surface was not too turbid, you should be able to see the bottom at a glance, but now it’s just that you can’t see the bottom clearly, and even Guo Fan’s figure has disappeared.
This is not normal, so abnormal!
Such a strange scene, Li Jun and others quickly looked at the "store manager", Lin Yuan smiled and said: "Don't worry, what can happen to a small fish pond? It can also drown people. No? Maybe Xiao Guo thinks the treasure-hiding game is too simple and is playing a hide-and-seek game with us.”
How big-hearted and stupid is Guo Fan to play a hide-and-seek game in this era?
However, the "store manager" said so, and Li Jun and others were relieved, because Guo Fan is now an employee of the Peace Hotel, and according to the convention provided by Tong Qian and others, he is also under the supernatural protection of the "store manager" , will not die so easily.
In fact, Guo Fan did encounter trouble.
The fish pond was actually not deep, which he had confirmed before, but it was only after he got into the water that he realized something was wrong.
The water here is unexpectedly cold, cold and weird. It is obviously abnormal and has a supernatural aura. The deeper you dive into the water, the turbid the surrounding water becomes.
The most important thing is that I should have reached the end, but I didn’t touch anything.
The surrounding water is becoming more and more turbid, even turbid to the point of being a bit abnormal, because there is a hint of weirdness in the turbidity. Although it is deep, it is not obvious.
Guo Fan does not have ghost eyes, and his own vision is obscured by the turbidity in the water, but he can feel it.
The weirdness was just like what he felt when he released the ghosts from the spiritual space and went to stay in the spiritual space. It was very, very strong.
“There is indeed something under the pond, and it is probably a ghost. It should be suppressed, but it is not gold, otherwise it will not release supernatural effects and affect the surroundings, creating an effect similar to a ghost hitting a wall.”< br>
“We can’t go on like this, otherwise I will suffocate to death even if my supernatural power is not strong.”
Without hesitation, Guo Fan directly put his hand into his windbreaker and took out the black and old spiritual tablet from his stomach.
The photo on the memorial tablet is the same as before. It is exactly the same as Guo Fan, except that his face was injured, and half of his face was hanging down, as if it had been torn to pieces by something.
Guo Fan held the coffin in his hands, and his body became heavier and heavier. His body sank involuntarily into the water, faster and faster, and at the same time, the smell of the dead on his body became stronger.
In the blink of an eye, the person he was getting along with in the spiritual position had changed his face. The face was intact and exactly the same as Guo Fan, but Guo Fan in the water had half of his face hanging down, strange and... And scary.
At this moment, the person in the water is no longer Guo Fan, but a real ghost.
In this case, Guo Fan can deal with almost any dangerous situation, because ghosts will not die, and he has absolute confidence to survive even in the face of S-level supernatural events.
Never underestimate the three words of survival.
Even the top ghost controllers have a high probability of being killed if they come into real contact with ghosts, so any ability to survive is very precious.
However, in the face of supernatural events involving the "store manager", this kind of confidence will be filled with unspeakable vigilance and uneasiness.
In the spiritual position, the eyes of the person in the photo are moving, as if they are peeping at everything outside through the spiritual position.
This is indeed the case. Guo Fan can still maintain his consciousness in the spiritual position, even more relaxed than before, and less worried about the ghost losing control.
If you look carefully, you can find that there is some white mist on the photo in the spiritual tablet, surrounding Guo Fan.
Just because of the color, it doesn’t look very real, like a dream.
Guo Fan can feel their existence, and only in this state can he truly feel their existence, "The information given by the headquarters is correct. As long as I am still an employee of the Peace Hotel, To have the supernatural protection of the store manager, this kind of protection does not refer to the body, but to the consciousness. "
The space of the spiritual place is dark, and there is only a window the size of the spiritual place in front of him, allowing him to see. See what's going on in the outside world.
This is a channel for him to peek into the outside world, and the presence or absence of the photo frame also means that he can control the ghosts in the spiritual position.
The moment the photo frame disappears completely, he will be completely trapped in the spiritual space, and the ghost in the spiritual space will completely lose its restraint and truly revive.
The difference from before was that in the spiritual space at this time, he was surrounded by thick white mist.
This white mist escaped from his body when he came in. It was also this white mist that made the photo frame in front of him more stable and prevented his ghost from reviving.
Poof!
With a soft sound, Guo Fan finally fell to the bottom of the water.
At this time, his whole body was terrifying. Even the coldness of the water around him could not compare with it. His body was also filled with the rotting smell of corpses. His face was slightly different from his own, tattered and tattered. The most bizarre thing is the pair of bleak, lifeless eyes. They seem numb and lifeless, but they also reveal a strange look.
It is like a person who has been dead for a long time, looking at the world.
While spending time together, Guo Fan's face was also changing. Before, it was just pale and bloodless, but now it is a little dull and black, as if it is gradually decaying.
However, with Bai Wu beside him, this change was contained and remained in a relatively stable state.
His eyes were fixed on the mud at his feet, "Let's start work."
The next moment, Guo Fan squatted down and dug up the mud at the bottom of the water with both hands, just like a fish pond cleaner, working hard And serious.
Time passes minute by minute.
The excavated silt continues to float towards the water surface, making the fish pond become more and more turbid.
"This Xiao Guo is okay. How come I didn't realize before that he actually has such good water quality." Lin Yuan looked at the time and saw that more than ten minutes had passed.
You must know that Guo Fan did not bring any diving equipment when he went into the water. As a result, more than ten minutes later, Guo Fan not only did nothing, but also started working underwater.
From the perspective of ordinary people’s world view, this is an extremely incredible thing. It can also be called a unique skill!
“I didn’t expect Xiao Guo to have such a unique skill. It seems that it is a very suitable thing for him to work in the fish pond. Otherwise, after finding a suitable driver, let Xiao Guo go Help He Yin'er? "
Lin Yuan said as he thought, without any hidden intentions.
Li Jun and A Hong on the side showed pity. They all knew what the fish pond the "store manager" mentioned was. It was not a small fish pond like the one under your feet, but a terrifying ghost lake!
According to Guo Fan's performance today, he would probably be asked to go into the water to clear the mud even if he went to the Ghost Lake. So if Guo Fan went down to the Ghost Lake, could he still come back up?
Maybe... I can, after all, I have the protection of the "store manager".
Thinking of this, the two stopped talking. After all, in this way, Guo Fan's work at the Peace Hotel will be more stable and he can bring more information to the headquarters.
Very good.
Well, yes, it's pretty good.
After a few minutes, Lin Yuan not only did not feel impatient at all, but became more and more satisfied. He was even thinking about what Guo Fan could do after going to Ghost Lake.
At this time, a burst of bubbles emerged from the water surface of the fish pond, and Yang Jian said: "He is coming up."
The next moment, the water surface was broken, and Guo Fan's head and upper body rushed When he came out, he held up an old wooden box and said: "Found it!"
"Is it really there?"
Lin Yuan had a look of astonishment on his face, which made Guo Fan, who had just returned to his body, freeze on the spot and almost didn't sink into the water again.
"Come up, come up."
Lin Yuan greeted, Li Jun and Yang Jian stepped forward and pulled Guo Fan up. Guo Fan quickly handed the wooden box to Lin Yuan, " Boss, look, this is it.”
This box seems to have been left under the fish pond for a long time and has become blackened and rotten, but it seems to be of good quality and is still intact.
Lin Yuan took the wooden box and weighed it, "It's a little heavy..."
Yang Jian watched from the side and suddenly noticed something. He lowered his head and looked at the water, but there was nothing except their reflections on the water.
Is it an illusion?
I’ve been too nervous recently... No, the water level has dropped a lot, about half a meter. What’s in this box is definitely not a good thing.
When Yang Jian discovered this, he withdrew his gaze, but he did not bring it up.
It is better not to let the "store manager" know about this unreasonable phenomenon, otherwise he will not be able to come up with an answer that can be understood and recognized by ordinary people's worldview, which will affect the foundation of the "store manager"'s existence. , the real store manager can kill people.
But what he didn't notice was.
When he looked away, his reflection under the fish pond suddenly turned to the side of his head, his eyes staring at Lin Yuan. His eyes were hollow and strange, like a ghost dormant under the water. .
At this time, the curious Lin Yuan had already opened the wooden box.
There is no lock on the wooden box, so it is easy to open, and there is no need to think about whether to smash the box. But the moment the box is opened, a fishy smell comes out. This is silt and sewage. Mixed flavors.
Lin Yuan pinched his nose with a look of disgust on his face, "Now I know why this thing has not been poached. The smell is really disappointing."
"Boss, I'll do it!"
Guo Fan continued to use his dog-legged nature, took the box and began to clean up the dirty things inside, moving quickly without any worry.
What is contained in this box is definitely something related to the supernatural, and it may even be an unresurrected ghost.
If it were normal times, Guo Fan would never be so reckless, but with the "store manager" here, he would be so scared. All ghosts can turn into various animals, so just do it!
But soon, Guo Fan's expression changed and his movements slowed down.
Li Jun, Yang Jian, and A Hong all came forward, and their expressions all changed.
What was inside the wooden box was actually two pale human legs. These legs had been soaked in water for more than ten years and yet they had not rotted or had any damage or mutilation. It was as if they were It's the same as it was sawed off yesterday.
The only thing that is more reasonable is that the blood in the human legs has already drained away, and the flesh and blood are soaked and white, but there is no swelling.
A particularly cold feeling came from these pale legs, coupled with the coldness of the night, making people's hair stand on end.
“Crack!”
Guo Fan immediately closed the box, not wanting this thing to be exposed anymore. All this came from the vague feeling of uneasiness in his heart.
“These are not the legs of a normal person, but they are definitely not the dismembered legs of a ghost. They are the kind between humans and ghosts, but they are not the legs of a ghost controller.”
“If it were a ghost master’s leg, it would be impossible to maintain it so perfectly, even if it had supernatural influence.”
“If it were a real ghost, even if it was only partially dismembered It is enough to revive and create a supernatural event, but now it is nothing special except for the coldness."
"It is better than a ghost controller, but it has not yet reached the level of a truly powerful ghost. The existence between the two is like...a kind of alien."
Li Jun and Yang Jian looked at each other, and they could see each other's suspicions in their eyes.
Because to a certain extent, even if they are not aliens, they are not far apart, so they naturally have such amazing speculations.
“The owner of these legs is definitely an extraordinary guy. He must have perfectly controlled the ghost. Not only did he eliminate the influence of the ghost’s resurrection, he also got rid of the ghost’s erosion of himself.”
"Who is he?"
Guo Fan's action of closing the box made Lin Yuan a little dissatisfied, "Alas, you guys have all seen it, I haven't seen it yet, Guan did it so quickly Well, what’s inside?”
Yes, there is a "store manager" here, what a fright!
Although Guo Fan didn't see it as deeply as Li Jun and Yang Jian, he just felt uneasy and fearful, but now he has also reacted.
In front of the "store manager", the real ones to be afraid of are the devils, not them, so he opened the box again and handed it to Lin Yuan with a bright smile, "Look, boss."< br>
Lin Yuan stretched out his head and took a look, "It turns out to be a pair of robot legs. I thought it was something good. It seems to be a toy? The father broke up a robot and then separated Bury it in a different place and draw a treasure map for the children to find? "
Lin Yuan completed the logical loop by himself, at least on the surface.
And as he finished speaking, these perfect, weird, dead legs that made people feel chills all over their body were directly transformed into a pair of robot legs under the eyes of Yang Jian, Li Jun, A Hong, and Guo Fan. leg.
And the legs of this robot look very delicate and valuable.
“Let’s go, let’s go to the next place and see what kind of robot we will piece together in the end.” Lin Yuan’s interest continued unabated, and even got stronger.
"Xiao Yang, you don't need to lead the way this time. I'll see it myself. I should be able to understand it."
No, Lin Yuan actually wants to dig for treasures by himself.
Yang Jian nodded without saying anything, and followed Lin Yuan with Li Jun, A Hong, and Guo Fan... Guo Fan didn't, he followed Lin Yuan in a dog-legged manner, and he found a flashlight in his hand from nowhere. , helping Lin Yuan light the lights.
I don’t know how the moon will look tonight. It’s foggy, so the visibility is also affected.
Guo Fan's move was once again appreciated by Lin Yuan, and with a casual compliment, Guo Fan laughed like a 160-pound child.
It was Yang Jian, and the corner of his mouth twitched.
But what he didn't notice was that his figure reflected in the fish pond paused. He didn't move at all for the first second, but just maintained the same posture as Yang Jian, with a look in his eyes. Peering at Yang Jian and the others with strange expressions.
The next second, the figure under the fish pond started to move.
Every time you pass by Shuichen, you can see the figure following Yang Jian.
At first glance, there seems to be nothing strange, but upon closer inspection, it is not Yang Jian’s own reflection at all, but more like some incomprehensible supernatural being is quietly following him.
This reflection is very strange, it only appears in places with standing water.
If you hadn’t passed by a place with puddles of water, this weird reflection would have disappeared again.
Yang Jian was chatting quietly with Li Jun, so he didn't notice this scene. "I deal with supernatural events with the store manager. I don't have to worry about anything. It's so relaxing. It's so relaxing that I can't believe it."
< br>Li Jun nodded, "Yes. If the store manager can come forward to clean up the supernatural incidents, maybe the world will return to peace as soon as possible and no longer be invaded by evil ghosts."
"The more powerful you are, the more restrictions you will have. The bigger. The store manager you know is too scary. I don’t believe that he is really a god. Even if he is, he definitely has greater limitations."
Yang Jian expressed his opinion.
Li Jun nodded, "The headquarters also has the same argument, but any theory needs to be based on the actual situation. Before confirmation, we can't gamble, otherwise if it fails, it will be a disaster. The calamity cannot be overturned.”
When talking about this, Li Jun thought of Wang Xiaoming.
The professor he once admired the most, now it seems, is a crazy gambler, who almost... lost the fate of an entire city in gambling!
