C12 Mysterious Old Man

"Little girl, can you tell me if you know anything about Nightwalker's newsroom?"

The girl was stunned as she didn't expect the middle-aged man to ask this question. She was about to answer when an old cough echoed.

A grey-haired old man walked out. He seemed to have suffered from a serious illness, and his face was haggard.

"Dad, why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to take a good rest?"

"I'm fine. Even if I sit longer, I still have to come out to walk. Cough, cough." It was obvious that the old man was trying to force her, so the girl immediately went to help support him and walked over.

"The two of you just asked about the editorial office of the magazine, right? I don't know much, so I'll answer you. Cough cough."

I was elated. I was just worrying that I didn't know much, but this was great. I hastily nodded my head, but Third Uncle didn't do anything.

Before I could ask, the old man started talking, "Actually, there's nothing much to talk about. This was originally the editorial office of the magazine, which was originally the brother of the editor. Since the purchase of the magazine, this place has become empty, so I asked my brother to open a shop for my daughter and provide for her family. Do you two have any other questions? "

Third Uncle then opened his mouth, "Do you know about the disappearance of a little girl called Yun in the editorial office? "Oh right, I'm her Third Uncle. This is her cousin, we're here to look for clues."

A cold light flashed in the old man's eyes, but he immediately restrained himself and said, "Then I really don't know, when my brother was in the editorial office, we were all living in the countryside, and later the editorial office was empty before we came to the city to earn a living. Speaking of which, this girl was really pitiful. She had been missing for so long, but her family was still looking for her. All of you have done your best. " The old man shook his head with a helpless expression.

Third Uncle didn't ask any further. He drank the cup of coffee in one gulp and pulled me out, leaving behind a girl who looked at the old man with a puzzled expression.

After the old man saw that Zhang Yifan and his group had left, he coldly snorted and entered the room.

"Third Uncle, why did you leave? I still have some questions I haven't finished asking." And I haven't had my coffee! " I asked with a puzzled expression on my face.

"You stinking brat, I still don't know about your little thoughts. You must have taken a fancy to other people's girls, with just this little bit of ability of yours." Third Uncle laughed and scolded him.

After being seen through, I smiled embarrassedly.

Third Uncle immediately became serious. "Actually, the reason I left was because of you."

"Oh? Third Uncle, tell me about it. " I was curious, too.

"Didn't you notice that there was something wrong with the old man's eyes? When you heard us talk about Cloud's Little. "And wouldn't his appearance be too coincidental?" Third Uncle asked sternly.

I didn't take a good look at it at first, but now that I think about it, it seems like the old man was a little surprised at the time. But soon he became expressionless.

I don't know if what he said was true or false, but from his reaction, we can see that he's probably hiding something. In any case, Yun Xiao has more information about him than anything else, and I don't think the photographer will be able to get anything out of him, so we might as well leave. Even if he has some ulterior motives, it doesn't stop us from finding Hu Qingquan. Third Uncle shook his head.

I thought back to the time when there was something strange, but Third Uncle's words made me feel a lot more at ease, so I didn't think too much about it. It's just that, it's a pity for that chick. Sigh.

Third Uncle and I returned to the hotel and lay down to rest for a while. Unknowingly, he fell asleep again. I had a wonderful dream. Today, that maid was above me and below me was Xiaofang … This is a paradise on earth. "Just as I was about to enjoy myself, I heard a sound." "Xiaofan, wake up, you brat. You're still drooling."

I woke up and saw that the person in front of me was Third Uncle … My expression is both angry and funny. I am also extremely embarrassed. God knows if I made any weird sounds while I was sleeping...

I got up and washed my face. Then I immediately went downstairs to the barbecue stand with Third Uncle.

"Boss, give me two bottles of beer and 20 mutton skewers." Third Uncle shouted.

"Alright, they will be here soon. Please wait a moment."

From afar, the Lady Boss's fat ass was moving back and forth, looking extremely alluring. When she turned around, I nearly turned over my chair. It turned out to be Lin Zhiling's figure and Sister Feng's face … Life is full of surprises …

The Lady Boss struggled for a long time before finally being able to react. She was extremely coquettish. But no one dared to think too much about it. Third Uncle, on the other hand, didn't have any expression on his face. He just paid the bill and began to eat. I didn't have much appetite as I slowly sipped on my wine. When I want to eat, I look back at the bamboo sticks on the table!

Third Uncle, who was beside me, laughed embarrassedly for the first time when he saw my expression. His old face turned red …

I ordered 15 more strings, but gave Third Uncle 10 more strings …

After eating our fill, we took a taxi to Tianning Park.

In the car, the driver start to chat

"What are you guys doing there so late? It's understandable that you used to go there, but now this park is very desolate." Hey, this park used to be so bustling and people often took pictures of it. Speaking of which, I don't remember when it became desolate. It sounded like a ghost. Heh, where did this come from? There was a high chance that someone had made it up, but who knew that everyone would believe it? "Hai." The driver talked to himself for a long time. Third Uncle only replied with a few simple words before the driver tactfully shut his mouth.

After paying the driver, the driver immediately drove away. It seemed that he didn't want to stay any longer. The only ones left here were me and Third Uncle.

Speaking of the night, this place was quite scary. The street lamps were broken for who knows how long, some were not lit while the rest were not. The whole park was lifeless, giving off a sinister feeling. In this situation, the door was like a big, bloody mouth, waiting for someone to enter.

It was all thanks to this little ghost girl, I muttered in my heart.

Third Uncle stood there without moving. "Logically speaking, she should have felt us arrive here. But we've been standing here for so long, why haven't we seen any ghosts?"

Even a calm person like Third Uncle was getting impatient, needless to say, me. I've already been cursing in my heart for a long time, but I didn't dare to show it. Otherwise, I would be done for if I were to be seen …

After waiting for a long time, Third Uncle was so impatient that he took out the compass.

"I even have to come personally to find her. There's a high chance that she was purposely toying with me. Women truly hold a grudge, and female ghosts are no exception. " Third uncle said with a face full of unhappiness.

I don't know why, but I feel a little bit better inside. The usually majestic and calm Third Uncle had this thought as well. It was truly a funny thing to hear.

I still had a look of worry on my face and didn't reveal a single bit of my feelings …

As the third uncle spoke, his hand didn't slow down at all. After a few chants, the two fingers of his right hand hit the compass. On it, the compass slowly turned from a black color to a golden one.

Last time, I didn't have the time to look carefully, but this time I did. This time, I really did look carefully, because there were some obscure symbols on the surface of the compass. It looked very mysterious.

Just as I was about to take a good look, Third Uncle let out a low shout, "Hate!" The compass began to turn, and I thought it would soon point out that the cloud was small and relieved.

However, the compass had not rotated for long before it strangely stopped. Even the faint golden light surrounding its body had disappeared and returned to its usual pitch black compass. This was far beyond my expectations.

"Huh?" Third Uncle couldn't hide the surprise in his eyes and muttered something, as if he didn't dare to believe it.

"Third Uncle, could it be that the compass has broken?" I took a closer look and said to Third Uncle.

"Ah pei, boy, don't speak nonsense if you don't understand. This compass is a treasure of mine, how could it possibly be bad?" Third Uncle was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at me. I hurriedly smiled apologetically and didn't dare to reply …

Third Uncle sat down cross-legged on the floor and started chanting while facing the compass. I was also at a loss. Since Third Uncle didn't know what was going on, there was no need for me to get involved. At most, I would only anger Third Uncle.

I sat down on the flowerbed in front of the park and meditated.

Just as I was about to recover, Third Uncle woke me up.

"Xiaofan, come here!"

I got up and ran over.

"Third Uncle, what happened? Did you find the ghost lady?" "It's really her fault." I asked, trying not to laugh.

Third Uncle unhappily glared at me and said, "You brat, you were almost scared to the point of peeing your pants when she hit you, yet you still have the nerve to say that."

I was speechless for a moment before I dejectedly ran behind Third Uncle.

Third Uncle then said seriously, "I've tested a few times, and the compass shows that there are no ghosts nearby. After some analysis, I concluded that it was very likely that Yun Xiao had disappeared somewhere. The ghosts would not be living here for the time being. After all, we only came here after a month, and now that we don't greet each other, it's normal that we don't meet. The trouble is that we have to come back in a month's time, so that she won't do something to Xiaofang. "

With that, the third uncle shook his head and helplessly said.

I touched my chin and thought for a while before saying, "Don't worry, Third Uncle. Maybe we'll be back in less than a month." If it's really not done in a month, we can come back and talk to her about the situation. " Seeing that Third Uncle was troubled, I hastily tried to comfort him.

Third Uncle thought for a while, but he couldn't think of a better way. Thus, he could only nod his head and agree with me.

Third Uncle immediately stood up and put the compass on his back.

"Let's go, I hope everything will be settled by the time we come back next time." Third Uncle greeted me and started to walk out.

I also hurriedly followed, inexplicably looking back at the park, my mind inexplicably has some unease, I don't know if it is an illusion. I forcefully suppressed my uneasiness and followed Third Uncle's footsteps.
