Miao Qi Miao
Chapter 1306 Scaring the Boss
Even in modern times, if a murder occurs in a house, and blood seeps into the ground or splatters on the walls, it’s difficult to clean up completely, even with today's cleaning technology.
However, in ancient times, those truly responsible for cleaning had the ability to deal with those things. Moreover, they could also take the wronged souls out of the house.
In fact, cleaning mainly involves sweeping away wronged souls and Yin energy.
I said in a deep voice, "Was your family in the past a family of cleaners?"
"The older generation was, but not me!" the boss said. "When I go to clean a house, at most I can prevent dirty things from sticking to me. I definitely can't sweep things out."
I nodded and said, "Continue."
The boss continued, "That day, I was tidying things up when I suddenly heard someone knocking on the door. When I turned my head, I saw a pool of water seeping in under the door."
"At that time, my heart skipped a beat. Water entering the house means wronged souls are following!"
"I didn't want to open the door, but who knew, the door opened by itself."
"A woman dressed in white stood at the door, barefoot in a puddle of water."
"I wanted to grab the ancestral amulet, but found that I couldn't move at all."
"The woman didn't even move her feet and was already in front of me. She said to me: You arrange for someone to clean the house for me."
"How dare I agree! This is a deadly job. If I send people out and they die somewhere, how can I explain it to their families?"
"Even if I lost everything I owned, I couldn't compensate for someone's life, could I?"
I looked at the boss with a sneer and said, "And then?"
"And then… and then…" the boss said evasively, "Then, that woman threatened me. She asked me if I still wanted to live."
I said lightly, "So, to save your life, you chose to compromise?"
The boss closed his eyes tightly and nodded vigorously, "I had no choice, I also wanted to live!"
"But I am sorry for those people."
"I didn't shortchange them."
The boss said, "The first time I sent those people to the hospital, I waited anxiously at home for three days. When I saw those people come back, I breathed a sigh of relief."
"Fortunately, that dead person just wanted them to clean the house and didn't want to kill anyone. Those people all came back, but they were covered in Yin energy and their luck was bad."
"I gave them a lot of money."
I said coldly, "I don't want to hear how much you've salved your conscience! What I want to know is about Ningkang Hospital."
"Yes, yes…" the boss said, "Later, that woman came to me every once in a while to clean the hospital."
"I used the same group of people and after a few tries, I found that if the Yin energy in their bodies accumulated too much, they would die unexpectedly. It was okay if they went less often."
"So I started rotating people to do business over there."
Feng Ruoxing said coldly, "How did the other party contact you?"
"By phone!" the boss said. "The other party would call me every time they wanted to do business. Usually around this time."
"It's like I have a premonition that they'll contact me. I'll just wait here for their call."
I said with a straight face, "What's the matter with your soul leaving your body?"
"It’s… it’s for insurance," the boss said. "I use my true soul to hire people, so others have no evidence. The surveillance camera I put in the room can film me sleeping in the office, so I'm safe."
I looked at the boss with a smile that wasn't a smile and said, "That ghost asked you to clean the house, and didn't give you money every time?"
"She did!" the boss gritted his teeth and said, "Every time I sent people to do the work, I would unexpectedly get a sum of money. The amount was not small."
I sneered and said, "Dismiss all your people and tomorrow we'll go up there instead!"
The boss panicked immediately, "That's not possible. If something happens to you up there, how can I bear the responsibility? This won't do!"
I narrowed my eyes at the boss and said, "You think the female ghost will kill people, but I won't? You should know that there are people in this world called术士 (shùshì, occultists), right?"
The boss was stunned for a long time and said, "Then… then I'll arrange it right away! But they want five people, and you only have four. Will that work?"
I said, "Then you don't have to worry about that. Just do what you're supposed to do."
The boss tremblingly finished the phone call and said, "Everyone, I've already made the arrangements. I'll give you a map, and you can drive up there tomorrow according to the map. The navigation can't even find that place."
"Can you let me go back now?"
I pointed to the body on the chair, "That's you, just get inside yourself. Let's go!"
I got up and walked out, and the boss chased after me from behind, crying, "Everyone… everyone… you can't just leave me like this. I'll give you all the money I've earned, millions of dollars!"
Before the boss could catch up to me, he was blocked by my body-protecting Qi and fell to the ground, crying loudly.
When I was drawing on the boss, I drew half a rune.
Although that rune couldn't kill him on the spot, it would take him some effort to get back into his body.
If he could get back in, it would be his skill; if he couldn't get back in, then it would be considered him repaying his life to others.
Seeing that I was about to leave, the boss crawled over and said, "Immortal, please stop, please stop… I've been to Ningkang Hospital and I know what's going on inside. I'll tell you."
