Taboo Master

Chapter 296
Conan left alone, so I had to bite the bullet and go forward. I hope that as he said, I can find the old man who picks up souls here.

However, I didn't think that the soul-hunting old man would really go into the bar KTV, so I wandered around the street at the entrance, looking around while walking, especially looking at some dark places.

At this time, there are people in twos and threes at the door of many nightclubs. Seeing me walking past, they can't help but look behind me. There are some with envious faces, some pointing, and some even whistling. Sweat, no one dares to tease you, later you cat sister will get angry and scratch you to death...

Ke Ke ignored everyone, and followed behind me wholeheartedly, but occasionally glanced over, those people were fascinated immediately, and the sound of thumping thumping was endless.

Her lethality is too strong, I quickly took her and ran to the corner, finally found a place where there was no one, and turned around and complained to her: "I said, can you keep a low profile, this outfit is already provocative enough That's right, you still use the electric eye for them..."

Ke Ke puffed out her chest and said coldly, "If it wasn't for Mr. Situ's orders, those people would have died already."

I scratched my head: "Come on, just let me save some time. When you go out later, pay attention to tucking in your chest and nodding your head. By the way, why don't you wear my clothes..."

As I said that, I took off the coat on my body. I bought this coat when I was a sophomore in high school. It is a bit small now, but it should be just right for Coco to wear.

I thought, this way she won't be so eye-catching, but she didn't pick up my clothes, she looked at me blankly for a moment, and looked a little at a loss, I smiled at her: " Don't get me wrong, I know you're not cold, I want you to cover yourself, there are so many perverts outside..."

As soon as the words were finished, I actually saw that Ke Ke's face seemed to turn red, but she stood there without moving.

No, no, she should have more attributes of a cat now, even sitting in the car squatting, she should have no interest in men, she, she...she has started to like catching mice, right?

I was thinking wildly, my body was a little cold, and I was thinking about putting on my clothes again, when a slight sound suddenly came from somewhere beside me.

"Duk, duk..."

Although the sound was not loud, it exploded in my mind like a bomb at this moment. I almost jumped up, put on my clothes quickly, and heard the sound against the wall. The sound was in the next street.

I clearly remember that the sound of the old soul picker hitting the ground with his cane last time was this!
It can be seen that my expression is different, and I immediately stuck to my ear and said: "Is there an enemy, I will kill him."

A faint fragrance permeated her nostrils, and she was about to jump out, I grabbed her in fright, pressed her against the wall, covered her mouth and said, "What are you going to do, that's the person I'm looking for, You wait for me honestly, without me, you are not allowed to act, and you are not allowed to make a sound!"

She stared at me with wide eyes, without saying a word, I quickly walked out, but I saw at a glance, not far away, a stumbling old man, bent slightly, leaning on a cane in one hand, With a pocket on his back, he was passing by the door of a KTV.

I couldn't help but be overjoyed, this is the old soul picker, and Conan really didn't lie to me.But just as I was about to walk over, two security guards standing at the entrance of the KTV suddenly came up, one tall one began to swear and push the old man, and the other kept saying, "You old man, you've been here in the middle of the night What are you running, there is no trash can in this place, so let's go quickly."

The tall man also said: "You seem to be blind. Is this the place where you come from? You still hold a rake and treat it as a garbage dump in your house? Get out of here quickly, you can afford to pay for someone's car to be scratched... "

The old man staggered under their pushing and shoving, and almost fell down several times. I felt angry when I saw it. Even if he was really an old man who picked up rags, he couldn't push and shoved like this. I walked over in a few steps, pointing The two people shouted: "Let go of that old man, you two, what about the two of you, how shameless are you? Are you so old that you are responsible?"

The tall man with the worst attitude looked at me a few times, rolled his eyelids and said, "Where did you jump out again, what's your business, go, go, hurry up, the old man gave it to you, you can help me, It's your fault..."

As he spoke, he pushed the old man hard again. This time the old man couldn't stand upright, and he fell down with a loud ouch. I hurriedly rushed over and helped the old man. I was really angry in my heart, and shouted angrily: "You Come here!"

My voice was not loud, but I was really angry. The tall man was taken aback, then subconsciously closed his mouth, and took two steps forward. The person next to him hurriedly grabbed him and said, "You are stupid, let you go over!" Just go there, you forgot what happened in the store yesterday..."

Then the tall man stopped and looked at me with a puzzled face, but took two steps back. I didn't have the time to talk to him, so I turned around and asked the old man, "Are you all right? Don't be as knowledgeable as these two grandsons. Let's go, I I just happened to find you something."

The old man looked up at the two security guards and sighed slightly: "I'm fine, but... oh, poor man..."

He said something poor, and then he stood firm, put his pockets back on his back, narrowed his eyes again, and waved the rake inadvertently, as if he had grabbed something on the ground, slowly Throw it in your pocket.

I saw it clearly. He clearly grabbed a gray-white thing from the air just now, but he couldn’t see it clearly. When I was about to take a closer look, he had already stuffed it into his pocket. The security guard shook his head and said, "People nowadays don't even know when they lost their souls, poor, poor..."

The two security guards had already looked dumbfounded, their expressions were dull, and they glanced at each other again, as if they didn't know what happened, the tall man muttered and cursed: "It's really fucking unlucky to meet such an old mental patient!" ..."

The old man didn't care, shook his head again, turned around and walked to the side, but stretched out the rake again, grabbed the ground a few times, and threw it into his pocket as usual.

I was also a little dazed when I saw it. Could it be that there are some scattered souls appearing in this place?But I remember that souls usually like to find a quiet and dark place to stay, how could...

Just thinking about it, the old man who picked up souls had already walked forward, I quickly chased after him, followed the old man for a few steps, the old man ignored me, turned around on the street, but walked to the door of another bar .

I became more and more puzzled, so I stopped the old man and asked, "Don't rush to leave, old man, do you still remember me?"

The soul-hunting old man opened his eyes slightly, looked at me, nodded and said: "Why, you have something to do with me, old man?"

I looked around and said in a low voice, "I'm curious, this is a noisy place, it's very noisy, what kind of souls will linger here? I see you just now..."

The old soul picker sighed, turned his head to look at the place full of smog, and said slowly: "Actually, there are many people who lost their souls in this kind of place, but they didn't know it, hehe, you Don't think it's very lively here, some monsters just like to come here. If people's anger is weak, their spirits are weak, they may unintentionally leave their scattered souls here, just like... "

He raised his finger and pointed to a middle-aged man with a big belly who came out of the nightclub next door. The man was already dizzy from drinking, and he was still hugging a flirtatious and revealing woman. The two laughed and swayed into a car go.

"Look carefully," said the soul-hunting old man. I felt more and more strange. The man suddenly pressed the woman on the car and grabbed her with both hands. The woman made a series of strange noises in response. hugged the man, and gradually hooked his feet around the man's waist...

I was a little stunned, why does this old man still like to watch this tune?
The two tossed and tossed for a while, and then separated. The man grabbed a handful of banknotes from his pocket and stuffed them into the woman's chest. He smiled and got into the car alone. He looked back reluctantly and started the car. , slowly drove away.

And the woman snorted disdainfully on the spot, took out the banknotes and counted them, and then a gleam of joy appeared on her face, and she walked into the nightclub twisting her waist.

I looked at all this with some puzzlement, and asked, "Old man, what's so interesting about this?"

He smiled without saying a word, pointed to the direction where the man left, and said, "Take a closer look..."

I looked forward again suspiciously, but my eyes widened suddenly, because at the place where the car left just now, a puff of smoke appeared at some point, wandering around in a daze, as if lost.

"What, what's going on?" I wondered.

"Well, in this world, there are originally two kinds of monsters, the inner demon and the outer demon. They are invisible and colorless, but they exist. When people are confused by these two monsters, they often lose themselves. People have three souls and seven souls. Now, a sliver of his soul has been lost here. If time passes, and people fall into this state for a long time, people will become more and more depressed, and even their temperament will change drastically. People say that this is called degeneration, but in fact, it is encountering a demon , a phenomenon of despair."

What the old soul picker said is very mysterious, I don't quite understand it, the inner demon and the outer demon, I can understand the inner demon, what is the outer demon, is it the woman just now?Or are all temptations from the outside world counted as external demons?

The old man who picked up the soul did not continue to explain, he walked over slowly, and murmured: "Most of the time, this kind of soul can't go back. If it stays in this world, it can only become nourishment for monsters. Let me send you Go where you need to go..."

I watched helplessly as he swung the rake and was about to pick up a wisp of the man's soul when suddenly a gust of wind came from nowhere, and a black strange figure appeared in the wind, instantly engulfing the soul...
