Treacherous Collector

Chapter 33
The cell phone's signal grid was empty, with an exclamation mark standing on it, and Lu Hao was forced to work for the crazy boss in a daze.

Thinking of the business-related horror web articles he had read before, Lu Hao was a little excited. Maybe this store is specially opened for hearses.

The wind chimes at the door rang, interrupting Lu Hao's thoughts.

A tall and thin man in white came in. Lu Hao quickly lowered his head and stared at the man's feet; the man walked to the counter step by step without hurrying, and asked in a strange way:

"Can I wash the car?"

"No, I can't wash it, the boss is gone."

"Really?" The man took out a wad of money and patted it on the bar, and continued to ask, "Can I do it now?"

Lu Hao glanced at it, saw the words "Yanhuang Tiandi Bank" on the money, his face turned pale with fright, turned his head away, and his voice trembled:
"Brother, hurry up, no amount of money can wash it off!"

Obviously, the man didn't intend to leave, he smiled playfully, and took out another wad of money.

"now what?"

Lu Hao closed his eyes, clenched the kitchen knife, and said in a flustered tone:

"No, no, you can't, hurry up, otherwise, I will be rude to you!"

The man saw the kitchen knife as if he saw a disaster, grabbed the money on the counter, and left cursing.

Lu Hao sighed, and looked at the piece of money left by the man on the table.

"Eh? How did it become the People's Bank? Isn't it Tiandi Bank?"

Lu Hao rubbed his eyes, it turned out that he was wrong just now, he thought it was a stack of banknotes from Tiandi Bank with the Jade Emperor printed on it, but it turned out to be ordinary soft girl coins.

He couldn't help but feel a little annoyed, isn't it just a car wash, he can try it.

He put down the kitchen knife and walked to the washing room next to him. The layout inside is simple and the area is large, which can accommodate about six or seven cars to be washed at the same time.

A black car was parked in the innermost part of the room, the body was covered with water stains, Lu Hao leaned up and took a look through the window.

"Oh shit!"

A male corpse was sitting on the co-pilot with a hideous face and a deep wound on his neck!

Lu Hao was so frightened that he fell to the ground, the wind chimes at the door rang again, and he crawled back into the store.

The person who came was a woman in red. Lu Hao went back behind the counter and picked up a kitchen knife, and shouted fiercely:

"Get out! Otherwise, I will hack you to death!"

The woman's face was ashen, without saying a word, she walked to the shelf and took a bottle of lubricating oil.

"You, get out!"

It seemed that Lu Hao's threat had worked, and the woman who got the lubricating oil turned around and walked out of the store.

After the woman left, Lu Hao returned to the car, lightly brushed the dust off the window, and looked at the corpse.

The corpse's eyeballs were bulging, part of the scalp had fallen off, and a work card was hanging around the neck!
There are a few large characters written on it!

Canon car wash shop. Manager!

If this person is the store manager, then who is the person who was called the boss just now?
Could it be that psychopath killed the boss, and then took over the magpie's nest and became the boss here?

No wonder he couldn't find the car keys, the car didn't belong to him at all, right?
The more Lu Hao thought about it, the more frightened he became, but he was afraid that he would be punished by the game organizer if he ran away rashly at this time, so he could only sit behind the bar and continue to wait without a clue.

A red handbag appeared under the bar out of nowhere, Lu Hao pulled it out, opened it to check, and there was an old-fashioned slider phone inside.

Curiosity drove him to open the phone. The date displayed on the phone was August 2002, 8. There was no password. There was an unread message in the inbox. Open it to check:

Wife: Husband, when will you come back? There's water in the car, it's so cold.

I continued to flip through the inbox, and when I was about to open other messages, the phone suddenly indicated that the battery had been flooded and could no longer be used, and then shut down.

Lu Hao tried to reopen it, but to no avail.

The wind chime rang again, and the boss walked in wearing a blue T-shirt. Just as Lu Hao was about to ask if he could leave, the boss spoke first, his posture was as humble as when he asked for help last time.

"I beg you, please run for foreign aid, the car is about to be submerged, and it's raining heavily outside, please help me!"

He was so anxious that he was about to cry, clasped his hands together, and kowtowed repeatedly.

Lu Hao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, thinking that he was quite involved in the play.

"No, I'm not the boss"

The boss grabbed Lu Hao's neck, the wind chime sounded, and he lost consciousness.

The world turned yellow as if a filter had been turned on. Torrential rain washed every street in Suicheng. Xu Decai, who lives in the old city of Liwan, was driving a car at speed. His wife was sitting in the co-pilot with a big belly.

Xu Decai caught up with the policy and became the first group of people to eat crabs. In 2002, when material life was still poor, he had already driven a Passat car.

The engine suddenly turned off, and Xu Decai's car broke down on a low-lying road.

"Honey, wait in the car for a while, I'll go out and find foreign aid."

Xu Decai took out his mobile phone to call the police, but was told that the police could not be dispatched in heavy rain, so he could only help to transfer to the fire department to see if they could help.

The fire department said it could provide rescue, but they were asked to wait on the spot for about two hours.

two hours?Perhaps two hours later, the two of them would have become dead souls in the water, so what rescue is needed?
Xu Decai cursed angrily, and then rushed to the nearby Liwan Square, where he hoped to find rescue.

The filter of the world turned blue, everything became cold, and the timeline jumped to 2016, when Lu Hao was 11 years old.

After school, Lu Hao pushed open the door, and the house was in a mess. His mother was sitting among the ceramic shards, her hands were bloody, and her hair was disheveled.

"Where's Dad?"

Mother didn't answer.

Lu Hao sighed, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Both parents have a bad temper and conflicts often erupted; Lu Hao was ignorant when he was a child, and his mother took it out on him when he lost a quarrel or a fight.

Sometimes he used a slap, sometimes he used a belt, and when he was in a hurry, he even poked Lu Hao's skin with scissors.

Fortunately, his father doted on him. His father treated him very patiently and never beat or scolded him. Whenever he learned that his mother was abusing him, he would greet his mother and beat him up.

After the greeting, the mother would secretly abuse and come back, which intensified and became a vicious circle.

His mother interrupted his memory viciously, roaring like a madman:

"I know you're looking for that dead father of yours! Scumbag! You are not as good as a pig or a dog! You were born by me, so I can beat you however I want!"

Lu Hao has long been used to it, so he laughed a few times.

Perhaps the laughter stimulated the mother, she grabbed a piece of debris and rushed over, pressed it hard against Lu Hao's throat, and screamed crazily:

"Laugh! Keep laughing! Keep laughing!"

Lu Hao silenced helplessly, and then confessed to his mother:
"I was wrong, Mom. Classes are suspended due to the heavy rain today. I want to go back to sleep now."

"What the hell are you doing?"

When his father's voice sounded, Lu Hao said in his heart that he was finally saved, his consciousness froze, the world turned white, and he took a sharp breath.

The boss was still pinching his neck, and his hand strength gradually increased.
