Chapter 204 Assigning work
Although Zhao Li felt sorry for the little money he had, when facing Chi You, he had no choice but to take out the money from his pocket and place it respectfully in Chi You's palm.
"Only 500?" Chi You said with disdain: "You are a soul ferryman, you have worked for so many years, and this is the only money you get? You are really poor."
Zhao Li was almost broken by Chi You's words. He felt terrible: "Brother, money in the human world is not easy to make. Besides, I have lived for so many years and my expenses are high."
"Okay, I know you're a waste." After saying this, Chi You walked away very casually.
Zhao Li pointed at himself and then at Chi You who had left. He opened his mouth and stammered for a long time without saying a word.
Song Yuan was immediately amused: "If you have any objections to him, I will call him back now and scold him in front of Chi You."
This suggestion is quite good, and I feel excited just thinking about it.
But Zhao Li knew that this was impossible, and it was just a thought at best. He felt helpless and said, "Forget it then."
"Then let's get down to business." Song Yuan glanced at Lu Di and said, "How about you tell me everything you know? I'm not talking about the things that are already recorded in the Book of Life and Death. You know what I want."
Lu Di frowned, his face looked extremely ugly. He hesitated for a long time without saying a word, and his face seemed to become even paler, and his whole ghost was shaking.
If it weren't for the large amount of negative energy in this ghost, and even the resentment that was about to be condensed into substance, Song Yuanzhen suspected that this guy might not be able to control the ghost energy in his body, and his soul would be scattered.
"I'm not quite sure, is the current Xie Anmei, or is Anmei Xie?" After struggling for a long time, Lu Di finally spoke, but this speech confused Zhao Li and Xiao Ya.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Li keenly sensed that something was wrong.
"I feel like she is An Mei sometimes, and like that monster sometimes. She has completely changed. After she released me from the underworld, she often asked me to find out all kinds of secrets, and then she would harvest their secrets." Lu Di told everything he knew.
"How long have you been cooperating like this? What will happen to the people whose secrets are taken away?" Zhao Li was quite curious about this matter.
"It's been several years." Lu Di answered quickly, but his face was full of pain.
"I really don't want to do this, but I can't disobey An Mei's orders. My heart is with An Mei. If she wants to order me, then she can only order me."
"For those whose secrets are taken away, it depends on what the secrets are related to and how big are they?"
"But usually, the things that Qin Huairu values are big secrets. Once a secret is eaten by Xie, the family will be destroyed and the person involved will die on the spot."
This was something that neither Song Yuan nor Zhao Li had thought of.
If you think about it carefully, the insurance salesman in the TV series was just like that. After encountering the Xie, he fell directly to the ground, made a very weird 6+7 gesture, fell into a deep sleep, and never got up again.
So the person whose secret is eaten may die.
"In fact, the soul carries memories. Most people's souls carry all the memories of their lives. These memories are actually everyone's secrets." Song Yuan reminded Zhao Li: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Zhao Li was a little slow to react, and for a moment he didn't even realize what was happening. Instead, Xiao Ya, who was standing next to him, spoke directly: "That Xie is eating souls, just like the Fifth Young Master back then."
"Damn it, if A-Cha knew about this, he would kill me. What's the point of being the soul ferryman in this district?" Zhao Li got angry when he mentioned this.
There is such a big mistake with the souls in this area, doesn’t the soul ferryman feel anything?
"Call," Song Yuan urged. "Call and see if they're real. They're tired of living without fixing such a serious bug."
Zhao Li's blood boiled at Song Yuan's words: "That's right, they look down on me too much. I'll call and ask them right away."
The call lasted more than ten minutes.
Both Song Yuan and Xiao Ya were getting anxious waiting.
Because every call is hung up naturally.
The other party would never answer Zhao Li’s call.
Originally, Song Yuan wanted to go shopping with Bai Xianchu.
But after seeing this scene, I couldn't help but stay.
It's a bit funny after all.
Song Yuan looked at Zhao Li curiously: "Did you have a grudge against him, so he blocked you?"
Xiao Ya laughed out loud when she heard this: "Don't mention it, Boss, this is really possible. After all, Zhao Li has always had a bad character."
"Who has a bad character?" Zhao Li frowned, rubbed his eyebrows, and continued to make the call. His entire head was almost stuck to the phone.
If Zhao Li was in the state of soul at this moment, he would most likely be deeply immersed in it and directly dive into his mobile phone.
"Are you looking for the soul ferryman of this area?" Lu Di shook his head. "You'd better not look for him. I suspect the soul ferryman of this area has been killed."
"Impossible!" Zhao Li's eyes widened. "How come I've never received such news? If a soul ferryman really died in the mortal world, Ah Cha would have sent us a message, and we would have rushed to the location as soon as possible."
Zhao Li directly refuted Lu Di's words: "If you want to deceive me, please find a reasonable excuse."
"He's really dead." Lu Di said anxiously, "Why don't you believe me? Otherwise, I'll take you to see it."
"What are you looking at?" Zhao Li was still in a trance and had no idea what the other party was talking about, so he asked back subconsciously.
"Can you find that Xie's lair?" Song Yuan's eyes lit up. He grabbed Zhao Li, who was still investigating, and said, "If you know where the Xie lives, why don't you just go and wait for it? It's such a simple question, you don't need my help, right?"
Bai Xianchu originally thought that she couldn't go shopping, and her expression was a little disappointed, which was noticed by Song Yuan.
After sorting out everything and throwing it in front of Xiaoya and Zhao Li, Song Yuan patted Lu Di who was standing next to him and said, "The two of us will follow Lu Di to find that Xie. If he behaves well, we can let him go and drive him away. After all, he is a thing from the ancient myths and legends of Shan Hai Jing."
"But if that Xie still wants to do evil, I suggest killing it directly. You can earn a lot of merit."
Song and Yuan fell into the eyes of merit.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t have said such a thing.
With Song Yuan assigning the task, Zhao Li felt particularly happy: "Don't worry, leave this matter to me. I will definitely complete it for you quickly."
