Taoist priest in the foggy capital

Chapter 31 The sound of chanting in the middle of the night

After half a day of rest, Yin Xiu felt that her mental and physical condition had recovered a lot.

When he arrived at the factory, it was eight o'clock in the evening.

"Hey, Yin Xiu." Mike greeted him, "Don't you need to work the night shift?"

Yin Xiu grinned, "I've been absent from work for several days anyway. If I don't come back, Mr. Luigi will scold me."

"He has no time to take care of things in the factory now. He went back to Ireland the night before yesterday."

"Huh? What's going on?"

Mike curled his lips and said, "What else could happen? The tigress from my hometown found out about raising a woman on Hong Kong Island. He is probably on the cruise ship now trying to figure out how to explain it."

After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I've asked Little John to change the attendance records for you these days. We are all on our own, and he will protect you."

"Good brother." Yin Xiu patted him on the shoulder, "I'll treat you to a late supper."

"Why don't we have night? Let's go now!"

Yin Xiu said with a smile: "This is too arrogant. Let's do it later. We have to go in and show off and give an explanation."

"Hey, that's really troublesome."

Mike muttered, but let Yin Xiu go in. He also knew that he couldn't do anything arbitrarily. It couldn't be just the two of them who had the final say in the factory.

As soon as Yin Xiu entered the factory, the surrounding workers greeted him enthusiastically. After driving away Li Yuanliang's gang of gangsters, the working atmosphere couldn't help but become more relaxed.

Although the workload is not less, and there is still a lot of work, it is inevitable to feel happier when you do not have to be scolded or beaten if you are not careful.

Although it was not because Yin Xiu beat up those people that Li Yuanliang was kicked out, in the eyes of others, they only felt that it was Yin Xiu's contribution, so they unconsciously developed a sense of admiration for him.

"Gong Yin, after I repaired the unit last time, I feel that it has become much smoother to use recently."

"As long as it's easy to use." Yin Xiu nodded, "Just don't stuff inexplicable things inside, forget about cloth strips, and steamed buns, they only give out midnight snacks a few days a week, and there are still people who ruin things like this of."

"Hey, don't mention it. I don't know what the steamed buns are made of. It's hard and dry. It's like swallowing a knife. In the past, in our hometown in the north, if you made such a thing, you would be beaten."

"This is not the north anymore."

I don't know who said this, and the chattering workshop suddenly fell silent for a while, leaving only the sharp and harsh sound of the machine running.

Without chatting with them, Yin Xiu walked to his workroom. He only needed to check the work log at hand today and do other checks, and the work was completed.

Just as he was about to open the door, a man came up.

"Gong Yin, are you busy right now?"

He was a young man with a pale complexion. It was obvious that he had not seen the sun for a long time and was malnourished, so he even walked a little staggeringly.

Yin Xiu hesitated and said: "You are..."

"Oh, me, I'm in the team next door and work under the old master. Everyone calls me Quail." He replied timidly.

Yin Xiu nodded, "Oh, I have an impression."

[You only have impressions. There are hundreds of people in this factory in one shift. How can I recognize them all? 】

Yin Xiu subconsciously avoided trouble, "What's the matter? I'm going to check online right now."

"Yeah, no, no, there's something, and it's a very important matter!"

Quail suddenly raised his head, with two big dark circles on his face.

"It's like this. I live in the light just like you, Gong Yin. I wonder if you, Gong Yin, heard any strange noises at night?" "Strange noises?" Yin Xiu scratched his head, "Yes, The family above me would keep shaking every night when they went to bed, and they would also make breeching screams, which was really scary."

Quail's face turned red and he shook his head and said, "That's not what I'm talking about. What I'm saying is, did you hear the sound of someone reciting scriptures in the middle of the night?"

Yin Xiu didn't take it seriously, "That's probably an old lady, right? It's normal for an old lady to wake up and chant sutras if she can't sleep in the middle of the night. If you think it's too noisy, just say something."

Quail waved his hands anxiously, "No, no, if it was an old woman, I wouldn't have come to see you. I would have just told the landlord that she was disturbing the residents, but I asked the neighbors and they all said they didn't hear anything."

Yin Xiu frowned and kept thinking in her heart.

"You mean you were the only one who heard the noise?"

"Yes, I was the only one who was tortured by that sound and couldn't sleep, but I searched upstairs and downstairs, and there was no one there at all! That's why I kept working the night shift because I was afraid of being scared to death or encountering something unexpected when I went back. "

"Do you think you are being possessed by a monster?"

Yin Xiu looked at him intently again and found that there was indeed a faint black air between the man's eyebrows. According to the physiognomy, this should be called Yintang blackness.

"Yes, it's a monster, or it's a ghost or something, but it's not a human being!"

Quail's expression almost made him cry. When ordinary people encounter this kind of thing, who wouldn't feel helpless and hesitant?
[Where do so many monsters come from? 】

Yin Xiu paused, seemed to be thinking seriously, and then said: "I have an idea."

"Gong Yin, I knew I was right to find you. The neighbors all say so. Please tell me what I can do."

Yin Xiu's tone suddenly became very cold, "Just keep working the night shift. Didn't you say that? As long as you work the night shift, the sound will not appear. Isn't that good?"

Quail's face suddenly dropped, looking very pitiful, "But Mr. Yin, I've been working the night shift for half a month, and I can't stand it if I keep going like this."

"Then why don't you try to live somewhere else? Ghosts are dead, but you are alive."

"I tried."

Quail looked increasingly desperate.

"When I was sleeping in a small hotel like that, I was on the lower bunk, and I felt the ghost standing on the upper bunk, chanting constantly. Later, I tried to go under the overpass, and the ghost stood on the bridge.

Once I simply got into a cement pipe, the kind of culvert used to install sewers. At that time, I only felt that the ghost was directly next to my ear! "

Quail seemed to be too excited, his whole body was shaking more and more, and he was about to fall down, so Yin Xiu had to help him.

He still refused to let go, "But I'm very busy. I have too many things to do recently."

I'm afraid things with the Wild Wolf Gang have just begun, and he doesn't want to get entangled with any weird existence again now.

"Just take a look at it for me. Just take a look. You are the one who has the solution. Just because we are all neighbors, I will give you the money. Just think of it as saving my life." .”

"It's important for people to save themselves."

Yin Xiu coldly shook off his hand and walked straight into the office, leaving Quail with a confused look on his face.

Although he looked a little cold on the surface, Yin Xiu decided to take a look. After all, there was a monster under his nose. If he ignored it and allowed it to harm people, he might be in the same trouble as the fox monster.

Just because you have to deal with werewolves, you can't ignore the more recent threats.

It's just that he doesn't have the means to deal with the spirit body for the time being, so he still has to ask Uncle Ming first what to do.

"Let me see what sutra you are reciting."
