Treacherous Collector

Chapter 16
Lu You fell backward in fright and fell from the water tower.

He quickly picked up his cell phone and called the police.

Not long after, the police also went up to the roof, and Lu You was sitting on the ground sluggishly, maintaining the posture just now.

"Sir, there are dead people in the water tower!"

The police quickly sealed off the scene and took Lu You back to the police station to make notes.

The person who questioned him was a young policeman named Xie Changming. He was handsome and strong, with a heroic look on his brows. He was an upright man at a glance. He almost had the words "I am a good man" engraved on his face. up.

"How did you find the body?"

"I've been very curious since I was a child. My grandpa always tells me ghost stories."

Xie Changming patted the table, glared at Lu You, interrupted him and said, "Get to the point!"

"Oh oh ok, when I washed my face in this hotel, I found that there was a bad smell in the water. After contacting the hotel, they not only refused to solve it for me, but even teamed up to lie to me."

"How did you lie to you?"

So Lu You told the receptionist's denial that he called and the disappearance of the plumber, and described his calmness and wisdom when he found the body, without mentioning his embarrassment when he fell from the water tower.

After preliminarily eliminating the suspicion, Lu You was released. He checked the time, and it was already four o'clock in the morning.

After he left the police station, the policeman who had just interrogated him talked with his colleagues from the Physical Evidence Section
"Old Qin, do you think he might be related to the recent missing persons case?"

"Well, the victim was identified as a student of the Xinghe Conservatory of Music. Like the other missing persons, this person visited a private villa on Longnan Road in June."

Going to the hotel at this time, you have to check out before [-]:[-] noon, which is extremely uneconomical, so Lu You decided to go to the Internet cafe to spend the night, just in time to discuss with the group of friends.

Lu You walked into the Internet cafe, rented a private room, turned on the air conditioner, charged his phone, and clicked into the group chat called "July 7th Supernatural Association recruits newcomers".

Jiang Liangan: Hello friends, are there any friends at this point?

Do zombie fans dream of electric sheep? :Here I am.

Bizarre: yes.

Schrödinger's soft sister coin: If you fart, let it go.

Jiang Liangan: Everyone should be a fan of ghosts. I wonder if you have any horror experiences about hotels?

Han Yang: I am a native of Suicheng. There is an old five-star hotel next to the Suicheng Tower. It is said that the telephones in that hotel are often strung together, and the strung lines are not for living people~
Micah: When I was in Yanjing, I saw beheaded ghosts swimming in the hotel swimming pool
Chubby Zuemon: Upstairs is a clown who gives birth to a child without an ass hole.

Wheel of Fortune The Hanged Man: Agreed, +1.

Jiang Liang'an: Let me tell you, I'm staying in the hotel that @汉阳 just mentioned today, guess what?There's a dead body in the hotel's water tower!

Han Yang: Really?
Fat toot Zuoemon: @江两岸, lied to have a child without an asshole.

Cold Yang: +1
Jiang Liangan: And I called and found that the water smelled bad, and the plumber they sent disappeared inexplicably. I went down to ask for an explanation, but the front desk said I hadn't called!

Han Yang: Most likely they went to the Underworld Maintenance Bureau (smiling face)
Jiang Liang'an: By the way, what will our recruiting party tomorrow be about?

Han Yang: The website recruits new spirit hunters to do things like visit haunted houses and find people.

The Hanged Man on the Wheel of Fortune: Secrets must not be revealed.

Chubby Zaemon: +1, secrets must not be revealed.

When chatting, there is no sense of time. It was already eight o'clock in the morning, and Lu You was a little tired, so he leaned back on the chair and fell into a deep sleep.

I woke up again at two o'clock in the afternoon, which happened to be half an hour before the party.Since the Internet cafe is far away from Longnan Street, Lu You prepares to leave early.

Affected by the typhoon, Suicheng began a week of heavy rainfall almost once a year.The soaked chicken Lu You knocked on the door of the villa in embarrassment. The venue for the party was set in a villa rented outside a party hall, with ambiguous yellow lights on inside.

The door opened slowly, and a blindfolded man said to Lu You, "What is your group ID?"

"On both sides of the river."

"The one who hangs the wheel of fortune upside down." The blindfolded man stretched out his hand, beckoning Lu You to come in.

Lu You walked in, and there were six long tables inside, and a familiar face sat on the middle table——Xie Changming!
"Officer Xie? Why are you here?" Lu You couldn't help being a little excited when he saw an acquaintance, and immediately asked kindly.

"It's Mr. Lu You, um. I'm also interested in supernatural events, so I'm here to discuss with you."

"Thank you officer, your ID is."

"Will zombie fans dream of electronic sheep?" Xie Changming continued his words, and then continued in a low voice, "This place is generally not called real name, you can just call me electronic sheep later."

"Oh, alright."

There were thunderstorms outside the window, and the sky was gloomy. Although it was only early in the afternoon, it was already as dark as night.

The fireplace in the house is flickering, like the demon named "Greed" in ancient legends.

Lu You briefly asked about the IDs of the people at his table, and when he went out, besides Lu You himself and the "electronic sheep" officer Xie he had just known, there were four strangers.

They are the "Wheel of Fortune Hanger" who opened the door to Lu You just now, "Bright and Strange" and "Han Yang" who chatted with Lu You yesterday, and a strange high school student "CocoTak".

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Lu You began to inquire about dice.

"Brother Yang, are you interested in taking a gamble?"

"No."

"Xiao Li, let's have a game? It's a bet, you go find the dice."

"Go away, go away, I won't bet."

"Hanging man, you are definitely willing to play."

"First, I am blind and cannot gamble. Second, I am a hanged man, not a hanged man."

"You opened the door for me, you should know if there are dice in this house."

"I know, but you need an equivalent exchange."

The Hanged Man left this endless sentence and then walked away, leaving Lu You alone to continue to wonder.

Lu You thought hard and didn't think that he could have anything to exchange with him, so he took out two hundred yuan bills and walked towards the hanged man.

At this moment, a masked man entered the house through the front door, followed by a large number of similar masked people; once they entered, they went to the windows, drew the curtains and stood by.

The leader walked to the middle of the room, cleared his throat, and said.

"Hi everyone, I am a manager of the Ghost Association, and I am also the interviewer for today. You have formed your own team through the table order. Each table is a group of six people, and the group is numbered by itself."

"In order to prove that everyone is qualified to become a spirit detective, we have randomly selected several members of the same group or different groups to play different ghost games. The list will be announced below."

"One group: both sides of the river, one person's hide-and-seek."

"Team [-]: Chubby Zaemon, peeling apples in front of the mirror."

"Three groups: Schrödinger's soft sister coin, pen fairy."

"One group: CocoTak, Pen Fairy."

"Four Groups: Invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex, Four Corner Game."

"Five Groups: The Rabbit, Four Corners Game."

"Six groups: Xiaoyao is not happy at all, four-corner game."

"Three groups: square long, four-corner game."

"Applicants whose names have been read, please come and get the rules of the game. All games will officially start at 11:55 today."
