Manual of the Monster in City

41 A True Good Wish

    The props that Miss Bai Ling gave him were just a bunch of small wooden signs, lying quietly in the bag of tips.

    The wood is a very ordinary material. There are different handwritings made with carbon black pens. It can be seen that they are from different people. There are adults and children. The words written on it seem to just wish...

    This is the so-called... wish sign?

    What is the use of this kind of thing? I don't know how to use this kind of thing at all. If it is a sword or a black gun, how can you use such a wooden brand?

    ——"Don't worry, I have prepared what I need for Mr. Seimei a long time ago, and I can complete it with a completely foolish operation."

    What a fool's operation.

    Jia Qingming couldn't help but start to wonder whether his IQ really couldn't control this foolishly operated magical device.

    Then use the simplest and rude method.

    Jia Qingming took out the wishing sign inside, raised his hand, and threw the wooden signs over. When the wooden card hit the ghost, it really began to emit a faint light...

    this is……

    What no one else can see... is the brilliance of the spirit.

    When they came into contact with the emptiness of the ghost's body, they suddenly emitted a faint aura, and then a blazing, spiritual flame...

    "I hope my lost dog can come back."

    "Dad has been working outside. I hope he can often come back to accompany me."

    He heard different voices and said different words in the flames, but those voices were calm and beautiful, like brisk music, covering the painful wailing of ghosts in the flames.

    ————

    "True good wishes... are not produced by greed. I hope my family is healthy, or I hope to be with my friends forever... It’s just some illusory and beautiful hopes. No one knows whether it will come true. It’s just in my heart. This place has always been looking forward to it. But... it can be full of infinite power. The human heart is really strange." Bai Ling closed the window and turned around.

    The light shining on Wu Yao's ghost gradually dimmed, and his body began to become transparent as if it was about to disappear soon.

    "It seems that it's finished." Bai Ling said, "This incense can keep your soul for a while, but it can't last for a long time. I don't think you have much to explain, right?"

    "Thank you." He said.

    "Don’t say thank you. I didn’t help you at all. It was you who untied your knot. If you want to say thank you, you should be most grateful to Mr. Seimei, who took the risk to fulfill your wish. But then It's too late to talk to him."

    "But thank you anyway, untie this knot." Wu Yao said with a smile, his eyes fell on the chair and fell into a drowsy Li Guisheng. Obviously, such possession consumes too much Yang Qi, and he needs a good sleep to wake up.

    "You must be a brave and strong person." He smiled and said.

    He seemed to see Li Guisheng's mouth move and smiled in his deep sleep.

    ————

    The autumn wind was bleak, and beside the trash can in a downtown park, there was a brown-spotted puppy looking for trash.

    It looks dirty, not much different from those wild dogs running around in groups, just a little guy alone.

    Suddenly, it raised its head, looked at the bright moon in the sky, gave a howl, dropped half of the ham sausage that had been found, and ran in one direction.

    It crosses the street. At night, even in such a big city, there are not many cars and not many natural people, so few people see such a puppy running fast, passing through the reinforced concrete very firmly. The maze formed.

    It ran into a community, ran to an apartment building, barking in front of a house.

    The door opened.

    It plunged into the owner's arms.

    "Really? Really... back! Mom! Dad! Tap it... back!"

    ————

    A shop where wishes come true.

    This is a hot word that has suddenly become popular on the Internet recently. The cause of the incident was that a person claimed that he had purchased a link to the "Wishing Pool" activity in a certain online store, and then his wish came true. Immediately, several people said that they had also bought the same "wish" product, and their wishes were realized without exception.

    And this "Wishing Pool" activity is actually very simple. After the link for only ten yuan is photographed, the owner will send a small wooden sign with a decorative tie, and then the customer will write his wish with a black pen and send it back. past. If the wish comes true, just fill in the balance and repay the wish.

    Many people said that they just bought this kind of "wishing behavior" with curiosity for a while, but they didn't expect to realize their wish. These wishes are different, such as retrieving their lost dog, letting the father who went out to work come back to accompany him and restoring family members who were seriously ill in the hospital to health, etc...

    It's all realized one by one. Due to the low popularity of this online store, the "Wishing Pool" event only contributed to seven transactions, and the buyers' wishes were all fulfilled. However, after this "wish-fulfilling store" became popular on the Internet, reporters discovered that the store had already canceled the "Wishing Pool" event more than ten days ago, and the store's "Wish Wish" products were displayed as off shelves, and only left Some small pendants that claim to exorcise evil and avoid disasters are sold.

    In response, the owner responded: it has been sold out, please pay attention to the opening time of the next wishing pool.

    Relevant experts said that the matter was hype on the Internet, and it was not really possible to realize the wish. However, there are still many young people who sent letters to the online shop’s contact address revealed on the Internet or went to investigate in person but found nothing. Instead, it caused headaches for businesses and couriers near the fictitious address.

    That is a non-existent address: No. 221 Shell Road, Shenting County.

    Consignee: 18-year-old beautiful girl.

    ————

    "Dear, can you still make a wish?"

    Jia Qingming has to answer hundreds of questions like this every day.

    "Sorry dear, this product is currently out of stock, please buy it in time when the wishing pool opens next time."

    For standard answers like this, Jia Qingming has to copy and paste hundreds of times a day.

    "Why should I do this kind of thing!" Jia Qingming felt that one of his hands was about to be abolished. He couldn't help wondering whether the meager wages of those typists were scientific?

    "It's the price. Part of the job." Miss Bai Ling covered her mouth and smiled. "Remember to raise the price of the small items sold in the store."

    "Hey...Is it really good to do this? It's a bit profiteer too!"

    "Because of the realization of wishes, more people are now convinced that these little things are effective. The stronger the belief, the better the effect will be, and the corresponding cost will naturally be higher?"

    "This is the self-excusion of unscrupulous profiteers?!"

    "Well, if you don't listen to me, the difference will be deducted from Seimei's salary, maybe... it will be deducted in the next life or something..."

    "If it is really deducted in the next life, I will have more lice and it will be free to trade." Anyway, in his opinion, the existence of such messy theories like the afterlife and this life are different.

    "No... If the time as a price, one day exceeds Mr. Qingming's life... I will directly collect Mr. Qingming's soul." Bai Ling's smile made people shudder.

    "No way……"

    "Don't worry, it shouldn't. Mr. Qingming will kill me, so how can I be charged with soul?" Bai Ling giggled. "By the way, that thing should be ready, right?"

    "Huh?" Jia Qingming thought for a while, and immediately reacted, "Ah, it should be good, can I take it out today? You can also freeze it for a few months."

    Bai Ling smiled and shook his head: "No need. The sky is constant, the four seasons change, and there are unique fresh ingredients available in every season. It is best to enjoy seasonal delicacies in the current season. Although contemporary There is a cold storage technique to preserve the deliciousness, and it will still be delicious after time has passed, but there is nothing more than the novelty that is different from the season."

    "Okay, it's really time to have dinner, let's call Xiaohei and Xiaobai." Jia Qingming stretched out his arms and stretched his waist, stood up from the computer, temporarily letting go of his identity as "online shop customer service".

    An apron flew over, and Jia Qingming caught it and tied it to his body. It was a seamless connection to squeeze the labor force. He looked at Miss Bai Ling's sweet smile at the door and walked towards the kitchen.

    The thing that Miss Bai Ling said was the drunk crab prepared before, and it was the protagonist on the dinner table today. Using the method of drunkenness, with white wine, salt, sugar, and Chinese pepper as the base, tangerine peel, and fragrant leaves are used for freshness, and the delicacy is finished for ten days.

    "There are no problems at school, right?" Bai Ling asked Jia Qingming while at the dinner table.

    At this moment, she was using a small spoon to dig out crab paste to eat. The clay-like crab paste has been turned into purple, sweet and delicate, and it melts in the mouth.

    "Ah... it's okay. Zhang Liang has nothing to do with him. He was discharged from the hospital the next day. It seemed that he received only a little shock. But after being discharged from the hospital, his temperament really changed and he became a well-behaved guy. unbelievable……"

    As for the club...

    Jia Qingming remembered the series of sensational activities that Xiao Shanshan did when she was in school yesterday, such as posting her hand-drawn cartoon image of the ghost of Wu Yao in the cabinet of the club activity room and bringing a large group of people to revise "Shen Ting Middle School" "High School Spiritual Sites" brochure, coupled with the photos taken on the spot, she also graffitied ghosts with weird style in the photos, with an indescribable strange style.

    A group of newcomers, under the leadership of Xiao Shanshan, imagined the beautiful scene of the Monster Incident Investigation Agency going to Shenting County and the world...

    Thinking about it is a kind of speechlessness!

    Even more terrifying... Miss Su Qiang.

    Although Jia Qingming has always wanted to keep a low profile, the results of this cooperation have led to some uncontrollable results...

    For example-"Jia Qingming, you are sleeping in class again!"

    More serious such as:

    "Huh? Leave in the afternoon? It's impossible, Jia Qingming." said faintly with his legs up.

    "What's wrong with the activities of our student union? You guy is just a squad leader." Xiao Shanshan joined the battle, and the danger level on the scene instantly rose by a level.

    "I said no or no. If you go with her, I will miss school. Try it?" It's like a stubborn ice sculpture...

    Thinking of this, Jia Qingming shook his head desperately and pulled his thoughts back to the table of Tooting Pavilion.

    "Ah, according to my guess, Mr. Qingming must be thinking of some Shura scene." Bai Ling smirked and covered his mouth.

    "Little devil, your school life can finally start normally." Xiao Hei said.

    But this is the second time I have said so, right? Don't set up the flag so easily!

    "Ah, school life must be very interesting... I really want to go out and have a look." Xiaobai held his face in a distressed expression.

    No one could feel the wailing in Jia Qingming's heart.

    Bai Ling watched this surrounded by a table, like the stolen pavilion of a family's warm dinner, and smiled softly, a little helpless in his smile.

    She remembered the situation when Wu Yao’s ghost disappeared in the Stealing Heaven Pavilion that day——

    At that time, the wind rose. Blow open the window of Stealing Heaven Pavilion.

    And Wu Yao's ghost disappeared in that instant.

    She looked at the soul that passed away with the wind, and smiled contentedly:

    "Ah, have you been free from the prison where you trapped yourself, Mr. Wu Yao? Unfortunately, I still can't find a way to be free--" she said softly, no one can hear Whispered. "Actually, this Stealing Pavilion is what I prepared for myself..."

"...In prison."
