Chapter 70: The Sign of the Great Evil

The street intersection in the Republic of China style is a gatehouse made of bluestone. The white background on it is not clear under the night.

Only the cold stone slabs that were emitting cold light shone with strange red light under the illumination of the red lanterns on both sides.

From the long and distant street, a foggy wind blew, adding a little to the chill of the night.

The six clerks settled at the street corner are the only living people today.

They have been standing here for a long time, and the taxi are surprisingly fast.

It was ten minutes earlier than expected.

It is now at 11:55 pm on October 31, with only the last five minutes left before the mission begins.

Ji Li stood in the cold wind, her long hair fluttered in the wind, her lips slightly opened, and she was not sure whether it was a smoke ring or a cold water vapor.

“What does a red lantern represent?”

This is a self-inquiry. Before he reached the mission time, he had been carefully observing the structure of the street.

Between the small buildings and houses, the most eye-catching thing is the strange red lanterns under the eaves of each household.

"It's obvious that there is a happy event on this street!"

Yu Guo held up his cell phone and turned on the live broadcast. While interpreting with the audience in the live broadcast room, he responded to Ji Li's question.

Yes, the red lantern must represent a happy event.

Because there are not only red lights here, there are brand new couplets posted on each door.

Judging from the hard texture, these couplets have just been pasted and rubbed against the old wooden door.

When the wind blows, it makes a buzz.

Everything on the surface seems to be explained as if there was a huge joy on this street, so it was decorated with lights.

But if you look closely, you can find an extremely absurd situation.

A red lantern with a black word "安" pasted on it.

And those brand new red couplets are not written about welcoming the spring and sending blessings, but a elegiac couplet:

"The virtue of the teeth is highly praised, and there are praises on the moon day, and there are always praises for the kindness and kindness.

Dooshan is now peaceful and prosperous, and it is typical of being a teacher for future generations.”

These discoveries were almost realized by Yu Guo and the third personality at the same time.

Under the red background and black letters, when the moonlight is dark, it would be impossible to discover it if it weren't for Yu Guo's live broadcast record and the observing ability of the third personality.

"Red joy, white mourning, mixed together, contradictions and fusion..."

Tongguan walked forward a few steps, stood at the edge of the gatehouse, squinted his eyes and looked at the closest door with the elegy couplet on it.

"This should be the funeral of a person with a high status in the local area, so that all the people on the street must paste elegiac couplets, but..."

"But, this street is a scenic spot, where do the people come from? Where can they have any status respected?"

Chang Nian said the turning point that Tongguan did not say.

"There are too many doubts. No matter what, the task time is coming."

Fang Shenyan, who had not spoken, threw the cigarette butt under his feet and stepped on it and stepped into the gatehouse.

When he looked back, he had completely entered the streets of the Republic of China!

The other five clerks also entered separately, and the time just turned to midnight.

Tonight is November 1st, and it is also the time for ghosts to truly recover!

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up at the far corner of the long street, where the eyes couldn't see clearly.

The strong wind is wrapped with thick fog and fallen leaves, setting it up into an illusory existence.

Gradually, Ji Li saw that it seemed that there were not only fallen leaves, but also some ingots and paper money...

"The paper money spilled from the funeral appeared at the south entrance of Long Street!"

Yu Guo jumped up excitedly as if he was stepped on his tail.

This shocked look almost scared Tao Xiaoyi beside him so much that she exclaimed.

"Calm the sound!"

There was a slight strange noise in Ji Li's ear, like a tune, but he was sobbing and whimpering, similar to crying.

In order to hear clearly what this was, he impatiently asked Yu Guo to stop the sound.

"It's sorrow and joy!"

His five senses seemed to be different from ordinary people, and others were unaware of this, but he could vaguely detect a trace.

"Nankou, a funeral team is about to appear!"

As Ji Li said this, the sorrow music played by the suona appeared even more vigorously.

This time, everyone could hear it, and even a little deafening.

At the same time, a large amount of yellow paper was covered with the corner of the south entrance, as if it was heavy snow, and the thick layer of the ground was covered with it.

In the darkness, a pair of short and round shadows came...

Ji Li narrowed his eyes and stood there looking, feeling a little unreal.

"It's the funeral golden boy and jade girl. It seems to be tied up with paper, but I don't know if it's the finishing touch."

He can see very clearly that the third personality's observation is better than Ji Li.

"Is the finishing touch the key?"

"It's hard to say. I heard some ancient strange stories. Paper people will become demons after finishing their eyes.

Now our situation is not clear whether it will come true.”

While the two of them were talking in their minds, the golden boy and jade girl had completely appeared, and behind them was a pair of men in white robes.

At the same time, it is not only that, but also a few paper, men, paper, horses, tall buildings, ingots, jade, gold and stones appear one after another, but they are all made of paper.

But it seems, it is also very impressive.

The coffin eventually appeared, but judging from the pressure of the coffin carrying the coffin, it seemed like an empty coffin.

Ji Li has been exposed to a situation similar to the midnight funeral, but he has some understanding.

At this moment, Tongguan looked at the funeral team in front of him, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly smashed his hand.

"When a funeral happened, should there be another big deal?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Yu Guo was trembling all over excitedly, as if he had suffered some disease, which made Tao Xiaoyi lean against Fang Shenyan.

Fang Shenyan, who had always been indifferent, actually looked at this woman and showed a faint smile.

I don't know what the meaning is.

As expected, almost as Tongguan said one sentence, another suona played music in the same direction!

This song is completely opposite to the funeral rhythm, extremely cheerful and very high-profile.

But the music of the two sides, when they are mixed together, forms a certain fusion. The two sounds that should be completely opposite, gradually become a unified melody.

Ji Li turned around and looked at the north entrance behind him.

I saw that the street that I just arrived had completely disappeared, and all the tall buildings were missing, and they were replaced by streets with the same style of the Republic of China.

What came over there was a bride-welcoming team, with red flowers everywhere and drums and music.

The group of people in the lead were wearing red robes, holding musical instruments in their hands, jumping forward.

The few people carrying the sedan chair turned red, as if they were coated with rouge pink.

A sedan chair staggered forward.

But this sedan is definitely different from a coffin, and the weight clearly means...

There is someone inside!

Ji Li suddenly had a dry throat. The impact of this scene was too strong, making his scalp feel a little numb.

The clerks stood in the middle of the long street, one in the south and one in the north, and two teams that were so strange that they were gradually approaching.

Yellow paper in the south spreads the sky, red flowers in the north cover the ground, one is funeral, one is welcoming a bride, black coffin, sedan chair, tribute, and gifts...

Ji Li's little finger on his left hand had trembled to the extreme, and even his left hand had a crazy tremor!

He had red flowers on his left shoulder and yellow paper on his right shoulder. He looked at everything in front of him and said word by word:
Chapter completed!
