Chapter 25 Lucky Mutual Aid Club (17)
On the moving tram, the scenery outside the window slowly passed by. Qian Xiaoyi glanced at the message sent by Heita Inuyama and typed a reply: "Received, proceed with caution." After that, he continued to stare at the direction shown by the small compass in his hand. In the center of the compass, a piece of inferior jade pendant was tied with red thread in a strange way. If Inuyama Heita was present, he would easily recognize it. The part in Lucky Mutual Aid Club where the kid is kidnapped.
Today Qian Xiaoyi is wearing a large coat, a peaked cap, and a shoulder bag. He has changed his style and looks like those who often hang out in Shibuya. A fashionable young man, he lowered his head, and the pointer of the compass in his hand trembled slightly in the direction of the train, as if it was affected by the vibration of the train.
Seeing that there was no movement on the pointer, Qian Xiaoyi sent another text message to President Dayan, asking him if he was busy at work today and if he had time to go out for a drink in the evening. The other party directly said that he could go out directly now. The old place was open for drinking, which made Qian Xiaoyi couldn't bear to continue to deceive this upright old man, so he put away his mobile phone after making a haha.
After confirming that Matsui did not inform President Oiwa about the gathering, Qian Xiaoyi raised the corners of his mouth slightly, showing a strange smile, and then continued to stare at the compass position and waited quietly.
Finally, after several stops, the compass direction changed significantly and began to slowly point in a certain direction as the train moved. Qian Xiaoyi got up and got off the train at the next stop.
“Tsk...it still feels a bit far.” Looking at the direction of the compass, Qian Xiaoyi couldn’t help but complain: “It would be great if I had my own car...”
Complaining Return He complained that it was impossible to get a taxi. It was too expensive. Unless it was an emergency, Xiao B would go bankrupt if he called for money a few more times. So Qian Xiaoyi lowered his head and followed the pointer, walking towards the direction of the compass. Half an hour later, he stopped outside a building.
The location where Qian Xiaoyi is now is quite remote. It is a bit far from the city center. There are various one- and two-story buildings scattered here. It is close to Tokyo Bay and there are many factories nearby. It is a huge industry. District, and what was in front of him was a two-story building, where the pointer finally pointed.
"Personal warehouse?" Qian Xiaoyi glanced at the sign outside and walked into the building.
Behind the counter at the entrance to the lobby on the first floor, the warehouse guard was watching videos on his mobile phone. When he saw someone coming, he put away his mobile phone and asked, "Does the customer want to pick up something?"
" I want to rent a warehouse, can you show me it first?" Qian Xiaoyi said. The entrance to this personal warehouse was closed, and it seemed that a key was needed to open it.
"Are you here to rent a warehouse? I understand. Our warehouses here have several price ranges. I don't know which one you need..." The guard stood up from the chair and hung a bag around his waist. With a bunch of keys, he turned around and opened the door at the back. The rental warehouse in this building is for individuals. The door is a roller shutter door. It looks a bit old. There is no camera or anything at the door. It is very old-fashioned.
Qian Xiaoyi followed him inside, still holding the compass in his hand, looking at it as he walked. The guard who led the way asked curiously: "Guest, who are you..."
"Oh "Just to see if the feng shui is good." Qian Xiaoyi waved his hand: "Don't worry about me... take me to see the warehouse inside."
The guard was a little speechless. How could he not care about such abnormal behavior? However, the other party didn't do anything extraordinary. He just walked around with this compass, so he couldn't say anything.
While passing a certain warehouse in the corridor, Qian Xiaoyi stopped for a moment, turned his head and looked at the number of the warehouse. After writing it down, he continued walking with the guard and looked at several warehouses. Finally, Qian Xiaoyi said that he needed to think about it again and asked the guards to take him out.
"This guest, our place is already the most affordable personal warehouse in this area." When the guard came out and locked the door, he did not forget to solicit business. He turned his back to Qian Xiaoyi and said: "We absolutely guarantee customers Privacy, always guarded, nothing lost, very safe..."
"No, I'm not dissatisfied with this." Qian Xiaoyi's voice came from behind him and gradually faded away: "I am. So the reason why you are not satisfied with this place is because the feng shui here is not good... Didn't you hear any rumors when you were working here? For example, children's voices..." "Children? Don't be ridiculous, guest, there are no children here..." The guard just turned around, only to find that Qian Xiaoyi had already turned around and left the place and disappeared.
The dim sunlight shines in from outside the door, dragging the shadows of things into long, silent things, as if everything is frozen in the dusk.
"Feng Shui..." the guard muttered this word, shuddering a little. The guest just kept looking down at the compass in his hand, and the black peaked cap blocked his expression, making it difficult for people to see clearly. Face.
He shuddered, and then comforted himself loudly: "Ha! What's Feng Shui? It's just a joke, right? Are you a child? I've never heard of it. This person is here to cause trouble... ..." He cursed and sat back in his chair. After watching the video distractedly for a while, he couldn't help but open the communication software, found a colleague on the night shift, and sent a message.
【Sakamoto, have you heard the rumors about the voices of children in our warehouse? 】
Less than a minute later, the other party responded to the message.
【Did you hear that voice too? I just said I heard it right! 】
Suddenly, a chill ran down the guard's back, and dense goosebumps appeared on his arms - he was frightened by the other party's reply.
He immediately typed: [Hey! Don't scare me! Is such a thing really possible? ! I found this job with great difficulty. 】
But after sending it, the chat box kept spinning in circles, and finally a red exclamation mark appeared, indicating that the message had not been sent. Just when he was about to resend it, a figure came from him. There was a flash in the corner of my eye.
“Who?!” The guard looked up suddenly, but saw no one. Just when he thought it was a false alarm, a breeze suddenly blew from behind him. He turned around and saw that he was I was so scared that I broke into cold sweat.
——The originally locked iron door leading to the warehouse corridor is now half-covered, and the wind is blowing from inside.
"Did I not lock it just now?" The guard said to himself stiffly, and walked over to close the door, but the moment he touched the door handle, there was a sound of footsteps and Children's laughter came from inside.
"Hehehe~~"
The guard swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said calmly: "...No way." His scalp was numb now and he wanted to turn around and leave. But when he thought that if a child really ran in and he didn't ask, the job would probably be gone. So after weighing it for a moment, he finally gritted his teeth, opened the door, and walked in.
But he didn't notice at all that a jade pendant was stuffed into the pocket on the back of his pants.
