At that moment, someone suddenly walked to the middle of the road and waved. Then, he blocked the way.
Su Bai took the opportunity to remove the flame from his lighter. He calmly put the lighter into his pocket and blew out a smoke ring.
Brother Jiu stepped on the brakes.
The person in front was a plump boy. It was summer, but he was wearing a jacket that didn't look very thin. If it wasn't for the fact that his body was very clean and his skin was fair, he would have thought that he was a lunatic who had escaped from a mental hospital.
When the plump boy saw that the car had stopped, he immediately jogged over. When he opened the door, he realized that it was locked.
Brother Jiu frowned and seemed to be planning to drive away. However, Su Bai turned his body and reached out to unlock the back door. The plump boy opened the door and got in.
After he sat in, he realized that the entire car had sunk a little, which was enough to show his weight.
"This is the car, right? I've been waiting for a long time. You picked up my Didi ticket, but you made me wait for so long.
What a scam, "Fatso complained.
"You got into the wrong car. I didn't pick up —"
Brother Jiu's words were interrupted by Su Bai.
"Forget it, bro. Where are you going? We'll give you a ride."
Fatty nodded with a grin, and without the slightest trace of politeness, he said directly, "Huan Hua Creek Park."
"Brother Jiu, send him there first." Su Bai took out his phone and searched for the location on Baidu Maps. Then, he placed the phone in front of Brother Jiu.
When Brother Jiu saw Su Bai's insistence, he nodded.
The car began to move steadily. Su Bai placed one hand on the window. The wind outside kept blowing, causing Su Bai to feel a little dazed.
It seemed like he had become a jinx ever since the first time he had been exposed to the horror broadcast. He didn't like this feeling, especially when his aunt had held his hand to attend his grandfather's birthday. Some people had gossiped about him and called him a jinx. When his aunt had heard this, she had gotten into a huge fight with her sisters-in-law.
Lychee had reminded Su Bai not to go home tonight. Su Bai knew that Brother Jiu, who had passed by his house, had most likely met with an accident. The lighter had proved this point, but Su Bai didn't feel any regrets. It was just like whether one should go when one's parents were in danger or not. Su Bai didn't care about many people in this world, and if anything happened to Brother Jiu, it would most likely be because of him.
That bronze box …
Just as his thoughts were in a mess, Su Bai suddenly saw Fatso sitting behind him in the rearview mirror. He seemed to be doing something. Su Bai coughed and sat up straight. Then, he looked through the rearview mirror.
Fatso was wearing a coat. At that moment, Fatso's hands seemed to be constantly rubbing inside the coat.
Did Fatso have a skin disease?
This was Su Bai's first thought.
Then …
"Ding Ling Ling!"
There was a crisp sound.
Fatso was stunned.
Su Bai was also stunned.
Brother Jiu was also stunned.
Under Fatso's feet, a bell fell. It was a very simple bell with a Bodhisattva carved on it. It didn't look like a simple handicraft that could be bought from a small vendor.
Fatso was so scared that his face turned pale. Then, he carefully raised his head and looked forward.
Brother Jiu frowned. He seemed to be very disgusted with this thick-skinned Fatso. It was one thing for him to ride in his car, but he even brought out a broken bell to annoy him. He was very hungry now, but he didn't want to disobey Su Bai's wishes. He could only send Fatso to his place first before looking for a place to eat.
Su Bai continued to sit there as if nothing had happened. However, a huge wave had already set off in Su Bai's heart. What exactly was Fatso's identity? What did this bell mean?
A keen intuition told Su Bai that Fatso definitely didn't just get into the car by mistake. The other party seemed to have a very strong purpose.
Fatso carefully picked up the bell and placed it beside his seat. Then, he muttered to himself,
"My girlfriend gave me this trinket, but I can't throw it away. How annoying."
Fatty's attempt to hide something only made it more obvious. He seemed a little stiff.
Brother Jiu snorted coldly and continued driving.
Su Bai closed his eyes slightly, pretending to take a nap.
When Fatso saw that the two people in front of him didn't seem to care about this little episode, he let out a long sigh of relief. After sitting quietly for a minute, the car stopped at a traffic light. When the light turned red, Fatso's hands reached into his clothes and started to fumble around.
Su Bai's eyes were squinted, but he was still watching Fatso through the rearview mirror. What exactly was this fella fumbling about?
What exactly was in his clothes?
Su Bai didn't believe that Fatso was touching the fat on his body.
Sure enough, after a while, a muffled sound was heard.
Dong! Dong! Dong!
Fatso was stunned once again.
Su Bai was stunned as well.
A wooden fish landed at Fatso's feet.
There seemed to be some kind of granule inside the wooden fish, so it made a crisp sound when it landed on the ground.
First it was the bell, and now it was the wooden fish. What the hell was Fatso doing?
What the hell?
Su Bai instinctively glanced at Brother Jiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat. Could Brother Jiu even be considered human now?
Fatso's face was pale with fright. However, when he realized that the two people in front of him didn't have any special reactions, Fatso picked up the wooden fish as though he was about to collapse and put it aside.
"This was given to me by my father-in-law. He's a monk. He's a professional."
Su Bai shook his head speechlessly. Fatso was a little too amusing. Su Bai's original plan had been to find a suitable time to check on Brother Jiu alone or find Lychee. Although he didn't have much of a relationship with Lychee, it seemed like he could only seek her help now.
However, at that moment, Fatty suddenly stood up. Then, a string of Buddhist beads fell from his clothes. Fatty's foot slipped on it and he fell sideways on the back seat.
"F * ck you! Is there something wrong with your brain?"
Brother Jiu slammed the steering wheel angrily, turned his head, and shouted at Fatty, who was sitting behind him.
Su Bai was speechless. He turned his head to look at Fatso, who kept making noises.
Lying in the backseat, Fatso's face was ghastly pale and he was drenched in cold sweat. His lips were quivering, as though he was so scared that he couldn't speak.
"Ah Bai, is this fellow mentally ill?" Brother Jiu told Su Bai, implying that he should get this fellow out of the car.
Su Bai shook his head. "Forget it. We're almost at Huanhua Creek. We'll just get him out of the car when the time comes."
Seeing that Su Bai was still persistent, Brother Jiu didn't say anything else and continued driving.
Fatso suddenly felt very embarrassed as he lay there alone. This had happened three times in a row. Fatso felt like he was about to be scared to death by himself as he struggled to sit up in the backseat.
Not long after, Brother Jiu stopped the car by the roadside and honked the horn.
"We're here."
"Oh, thank you."
Fatso hurriedly thanked him and opened the car door with one hand.
Su Bai, who had been watching Fatso, immediately noticed that Fatso was holding something red in his hand when he opened the car door.
No.
To be precise, Fatso's entire palm was red, so red that it was a little dazzling.
Fatso opened the car door but did not get out. Instead, he twisted his body and held a talisman in his other hand. He retracted his left hand and quickly drew on the talisman with his fingers covered in cinnabar. He was almost done in a flash. Then, Fatso shouted,
"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerate, Spirit Talisman Suppression!"
Fatso was going to collect ghosts!
Su Bai turned his head abruptly. He had some guesses about Fatso's identity, but he had guessed that Fatso had been trying to sneakily take the talisman from his clothes but had made repeated mistakes. This had caused Su Bai to relax his guard against him a little. When they arrived at their destination, Su Bai had instinctively thought that Fatso was about to get out of the car.
However, Fatso had suddenly made this move at this juncture.
He had drawn talismans and chanted incantations in one go and was rather imposing. He did not look like the clumsy Fatso from before. He was clearly a fellow with cultivation.
However, Su Bai was not prepared to fall out with Brother Jiu here. He had not even thought about what he should do. If he rashly made a move, would Brother Jiu be completely hopeless? Was Ninth Brother still alive, or was he already … dead?
However, something even more shocking happened to Su Bai. A chill came from between his eyebrows.
Slap!
Fatso had actually stuck the talisman on Su Bai's forehead.
Fatso shouted, "Hey, I can feel the heavy Yin Qi in your car from afar. The Yin Qi on your body is even heavier. The talisman has been placed, and the Grand Supreme Elder has seen it.
You evil demon, hurry up and show yourself! "
Then, Fatso shouted at Brother Jiu, who was sitting in the driver's seat.
"I'm catching ghosts. You're a mortal. Hurry up and get out of the car. Otherwise, it will be my fault if you are implicated."
At that moment, a sound was suddenly heard from the back of the car. The bronze box that had been sitting quietly in the back of the car suddenly emitted a faint glow.
Brother Jiu's eyes also emitted a faint glow, and the talisman that had been stuck on Su Bai's forehead slowly floated down.
"…" Fatso was dumbfounded.
