a zombie haunts me

Chapter 255 The Dusty Collateral
However, when I heard the words "Demo Village", my heart couldn't help but tremble violently.

This name is too familiar, I remember, I seem to know a person from Demon Elimination Village, but what is his name?

No matter what I think, I just can't think of it, I just feel that my head is about to explode.

At this moment, a hand was slowly placed on the back of my head, and a gentle voice came: "What's wrong?"

I immediately felt much relieved, and some memories that were about to pop up seemed to be pushed back.

I took a deep breath, shook my head, and said, "It's okay."

"Sir, please pay attention to your words and deeds, and don't have any unreasonable thoughts about my woman."

Pluto's eyes met the man named Bai Wuyou head-on. Both of them were about the same height, and each exuded a cold and hard aura, which made my heart feel uneasy for no reason.

"You misunderstood, I just came here to ask this lady because she didn't seem to be feeling well."

After Bai Wuyou finished speaking, he took a deep look at me, and that look seemed to carry a strong warning.

I didn't say anything, just watched him leave.

"Manchen, don't pay attention to him, let's go over there."

I nodded, but I always felt that there was something wrong in my heart. The man named Bai Wuyou was so familiar to me, as if I had seen it somewhere before, but his eyes were too sharp, as if It's not the same as I imagined.

Taking a deep breath, I tried to keep my head clear.

After a while, I said to Pluto, "I'm fine, I can go back to work right now."

"slow!"

Unexpectedly, he stopped me, picked up a glass of wine from the waiter's tray, stuffed it into my hand, and said, "Drink a little, you'll feel better."

"I...I don't know how to drink."

I waved my hand subconsciously, and some memories seemed to flash in my mind. I remembered that I seemed to become stupid after drinking, and I was easy to get drunk, but why I can remember these trivial things, but only Can't remember, who did you meet in your previous life?

"It's okay, you won't get drunk if you drink a little."

Pluto continued to encourage me to drink, and I didn't know where the courage came from, so I took a small sip, a bit of bitterness spread in my mouth, and the burning sensation continued from my throat to my stomach.

At this moment, a crisp female voice came from next to my ear: "Ah Lang!"

I trembled all over and almost knocked over the wine glass in my hand. Why is this name so familiar...

I raised my head and saw a man and a woman walking in front of me. Both of them looked very ordinary. I really can't remember where I saw them before.

But I remember that name very, very clearly, "A Lang" must be someone of mine, a very, very important person!
Pluto seemed to see through my thoughts, and said to me: "If you are tired, let's go back."

"No... no, I can do it."

My gaze continued to scan back and forth on the dance floor, and as soon as I met a suitable person, I would send out black invitations, but for some reason, after sending out a few, I began to feel very tired.

"What's going on here? Why do I find that I don't want to move at all, my mind is empty, my eyelids are heavy, and I feel sleepy."

I murmured, I don't know if these words were heard by Pluto.

The noisy dance music in my ears, at this moment, sounds like a lullaby to me.

"Take a break when you're tired, and I'll take you home soon..."

Going home, what a familiar word, I remember a handsome man once said those two words to me, I remember at that time, I was so happy, and my heart was an unprecedented joy.

But, who is that man and what does he look like? I thought carefully and tried to remember, but my mind was still vague.

Until a voice came from my ear: "You are Manchen, Man of Manzhu Shahua, Chen of stars."

That's right, my name is Manchen, but why I don't have the slightest impression of such a name?
……

When I opened my eyes again, I was lying in a modern bedroom, and the dim lights around me still made me feel a little drowsy.

Where am I, have I returned to the underworld again?

As I was thinking, a man suddenly appeared in front of me and said to me: "This is my bank, you can rest assured."

The bank...it turned out that I was still in the bank.

"I'm sorry, it's all my fault that I'm not strong enough to drink. I got drunk after a little drink, and I didn't help you to attract business."

As I said that, I also felt a little guilty for no reason.

However, Pluto hooked his lips slightly, and said to him: "You have already done a good job, why bother to belittle yourself?"

"By the way, how is the business of the bank today? How many people have we helped?"

I asked in a low voice, I don't know why, but I have a little expectation in my heart.

"The business of Qianzhuang is good, and we have helped many people. However, you are too tired and need a good rest."

Pluto seems to be comforting me. Although he always makes me afraid, I know that he is actually very gentle to me.

"No...I'm not tired, maybe it's because I said a few words to that Taoist priest yesterday."

When I said this, I took a deep breath, but just as I finished speaking, I heard Pluto asking anxiously: "What did that Taoist tell you?"

"It's nothing, just tell me that he is the No. 80 second-generation elder of Demon Elimination Village."

I smiled, and then said: "How can there be such a young elder, this is too funny."

As I spoke, the expression on Pluto's face changed slightly.

"Oh... that's what he told you?"

He asked me another question, and I nodded and said to him, "Yes, I didn't expect him to become a liar at such a young age."

"He didn't lie to you."

As soon as Pluto spoke, I felt like something was stuck in my throat.

He went on to explain: "A long time ago, there was a demon village whose job was to exterminate demons and ghosts. People there, regardless of gender, old or young, knew some ways to deal with ghosts, and the most powerful man was the village chief."

"Is the village head surnamed Bai?"

I asked in a low voice, and regretted it a second later, feeling like I was asking nonsense.

Pluto nodded, and said unhurriedly, "Yes, but not only the village chief, but the whole village is named Bai."

I just came to my senses, but I didn't understand why, as soon as I saw that surnamed Bai, I felt familiar, as if I had made a knot a long time ago.

My mind is still empty, I can't think of anything.

After a while, Pluto said to me: "In the future, if you see those people, just run away. Don't be afraid, they won't hurt you."

I nodded, but I always felt that the Taoist priest had something to say to me, but before he could say it, he was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Hades.

I don't know what it means, but I can sense that there must be a reason.

……

The bank's business became very good, and I was also busy, putting the signed contracts into the warehouse.

I don't know how long this bank has been in operation. The entire warehouse is full of contracts, and several warehouses are collateral.

According to Pluto, once the guest returns the loaned things in accordance with the regulations, he can redeem his mortgage in accordance with the contract.

However, I searched and searched, but I didn't see any redemption records, but there were a few write-off records.

Opening the ledger, it can be seen that the write-off occurred because the customer used other things as collateral to redeem the previous collateral.

This made me take a deep breath. I understand that the bank makes money by borrowing money, but has there never been a customer in the whole bank who has been able to redeem his collateral?

What is going on here?

Pluto is busy greeting guests, I think, even if I ask him, he probably won't tell me the real answer.

Forget it, let's sort out the contract first.

I thought so, so I started to sort out the contracts and put them in the file box.

As I was sorting it out, suddenly, two familiar words came into my sight - Feng Lang.

Why do I think these two words are so familiar, like hearing that woman say "Alang" in a bar, so familiar.

Looking carefully at the contract, it seems that Feng Lang pledged something as collateral, but the borrower was a new identity named Song Lang.

I was stunned, Song Lang, Feng Lang... These two names circled in my mind like a fight.

Why is this, and why does it feel so familiar to me?
I turned to the end of the contract, where the collateral was stored, and there were a few words "No. 19710" very clearly.

I immediately went to the warehouse where the collateral was stored, looked for "No. 19710" on countless shelves, and finally found the collateral belonging to Feng Lang.

At that moment, my heart beat fast, and I wondered, what could be inside?

Feeling apprehensive, I opened the cabinet door on the shelf, and the next second, I saw a small box.

It turned out to be such a small thing. I took a deep breath and quickly took out the box.

There is a hidden button next to the box that is not very obvious. I pressed the hidden button down, and the box opened quickly with a "click".

My heart also trembled violently, and I found that what was contained in that box was a small jade pendant. The jade pendant was emerald green and gave off a faint light. With just one glance, I was sure that this jade pendant was definitely for me. Where have you seen it!

My heart was very chaotic, and there seemed to be something surging in my mind, as if it might burst out at any time.

After hesitating for a moment, I reached out to the box and gently took out the jade pendant.

But I never dreamed that the moment my fingertips touched the jade pendant...
