Mr. Lu is against superstition during the day and learns fortune-telling from his wife at night

Chapter 224: Strange Death in an Unfinished Building

Chongyao is usually a devil who kills people without blinking an eye, but when it comes to feelings, he is as shy as a child.

Chong Yao knew that Shen Xia Xia was betting that he would not dare to reveal the true relationship between him and Lu Jingchen.

Shen Xia Xia decided to put some eye drops on him.

Shen Xia Xia held the palm print and prepared to continue kissing.

Chongyao was so angry that he almost vomited blood: "Xia Xia, you dog! How did you become so shameless!"

"Then tell me who Lu Jingchen is to you and why you are so angry, and I will let go of the palm seal."

Chong Yao clenched his fists. Lu Jingchen wasn't here anyway, so it was okay to say something cheesy: "He is my brother. I can't bear to see you do anything to betray my brother."

"Is that so?" Shen Xia Xia smiled easily: "Then I won't sleep on the palm print."

Then he turned around and looked at Zhang Yin. Although Zhang Yin was wearing a blindfold, Shen Xia Xia could feel that the face under the blindfold was also happy.

What puzzled Shen Xia Xia was that Chong Yao and Lu Mingan had such a close relationship, how could they not know Lu Jingchen's true identity.

Could it be that Lu Mingan doesn’t know that Lu Jingchen is the seal holder?

Palm Seal ordered someone to treat Chongyao's injuries, and then took Shen Xia Xia out.

"Xia Xia, what's going on? Tell me in detail."

Shen Xia Xia told Lu Jingchen everything about the incident on the bus and the appearance of Lu Mingan and his black-robed cultists.

"The number of people who have died unjustly in the Book of Life and Death has increased ridiculously. It seems that these evil cults don't even want to pretend anymore and are eager to expand their scale to achieve their goals."

Lu Jingchen frowned and said, "Don't do the soul ferrying job anymore. It's too dangerous. It's not like I can't afford to support you."

Shen Xiaxia shook her head: "No, now it's not just the Lu family, but the entire human race is in a catastrophe. If I stand by and watch, I won't be able to escape unscathed in the end."

What Shen Xiaxia said was not unreasonable. Lu Jingchen looked into her eyes and said, "Promise me that you will not put yourself in any danger."

Shen Xia Xia nodded.

Lu Jingchen said with a hint of worry: "The most important thing now is to get your soul back to your body."

His worries were not unreasonable. Shen Xia Xia's soul was becoming increasingly unable to get close to her body.

Shen Xia Xia twirled her chin. "Do you think there is a way to uproot this contract seal and make it ineffective? This way, we don't have to risk the child. Even if you take a fake one, Lu Mingan will still find out. This is only a temporary solution, so it's better to eradicate it all at once."

"This can also help many people get rid of this curse, but it's very difficult. I don't know where to start. Even my grandfather, Master Xuanyi, who has such high attainments in the mystical arts, has been signed a contract."

Lu Jingchen narrowed his eyes slightly: "Like I told you before, the development of everything in this world has its own laws and links, but we haven't found its laws yet. Once we find it, it won't be difficult to eradicate this cancer."

Shen Xia Xia suddenly thought of something: "What happened to Lu Yaoming before?"

Lu Jingchen's lips curled slightly: "Everything is ready, just ready for the person behind the game to show up."

Shen Xia Xia: "Could the person behind this be Lu Mingan? He was able to leave a mark on my body, so his strength should not be underestimated."

Lu Jingchen shook his head: "It's not him. I have had people tracking this project for a long time. Through the comparison of spectral magnetic fields, the murderer behind the scenes should be a person."

Shen Xia Xia has been very busy recently and didn't have much time to stay.

She continued to look through the book of life and death in her hand. The next ferry destination was the unfinished building, Jingjiang Garden.

Shen Xia Xia decided to do her homework in advance this time. The tragedy happened on the last bus because she didn't do her homework well and ignored the time and space loopholes.

Shen Xia Xia carefully asked Lu Jingchen: "Do you have any other information about that unfinished building? Why was it unfinished? Was it because it couldn't be sold?"

Lu Jingchen took Shen Xia Xia to the top floor and sat on the balcony. The top floor was feeling more and more like home.

Lu Jingchen: "In fact, the property sold very well back then. All the units were sold out. They were sold out before they were even built and pre-sold."

Shen Xia Xia frowned: "That shouldn't be the case. If it's not because of the funding chain, then what is the reason for the failure?"

Lu Jingchen looked at the setting sun slowly going down the mountain: "Half of the buyers back then were humans."

Shen Xia Xia's heart trembled slightly: "You mean the other half is a ghost?"

Lu Jingchen: "In fact, we still don't know what it is. And the Lu family didn't want to leave the building unfinished, but the building couldn't be built at all."

"Can't cover it?" Shen Xiaxia realized that things were not simple: "What is the specific situation?"

"Or there will be workers who die unexpectedly, or they will inexplicably crawl into the concrete mixer in a very safe construction environment."

"You heard it right. They just walked in on their own. Some workers didn't follow instructions and climbed to the top floor and jumped down like crazy. Anyway, there were all kinds of deaths."

"Some of the properties were sold later, and those who bought the properties often came to the construction site and jumped off the building for no apparent reason."

"With such a high death rate, how can the building construction continue? Moreover, the buildings that have already been built have begun to show some strange conditions. Bats have inexplicably appeared in groups in the houses, and there are many rats running around everywhere. The foundation of one building was corroded by termites and it almost collapsed. This is the case when no one lives in the building. What will happen if someone lives in the building? The building construction must not continue, and it will be abandoned like this."

Lu Jingchen frowned: "Why are you asking this?"

Shen Xia Xia: "Because the next place of death is Jingjiang Garden, and the death toll is one thousand."

"One thousand?" Lu Jingchen's pupils shrank slightly: "Is that a suicide sanctuary? So many people go there to commit suicide."

Shen Xia Xia: "I've seen the Feng Shui of that place. It's extremely negative and extremely positive. The two extremes merge together, making the magnetic field complicated. There must be some kind of power gathering there, and it's this power that attracts those people who jump off the building."

"I suspect it was Lu Mingan, because he was the one who built this building, and it was deliberately made to be evil from the beginning."

Lu Jingchen frowned: "This building was not built by my father in the first place."

"Is that water?"

"It was a Feng Shui company. They hired someone to draw up the design drawings. They said the design of this house was exceptionally good. My dad signed and agreed to it."

Shen Xia Xia: "What if he deliberately had it designed this way?"

Before Lu Ming'an passed away, Lu Jingchen spent a lot of time with him.

No matter how good a person is at disguising himself, some things cannot be covered up.

At that time, Lu Mingan was not so concerned about buildings like these real estate projects. All his energy was focused on other projects.

"No, it should be someone else." Lu Jingchen denied Shen Xiaxia's guess: "When did these people die?"

Shen Xia Xia: "These unnatural deaths, of course, occur at midnight, when the yin energy is the heaviest."

"I will go with you."

Lu Jingchen's scientific ghost hunting is no worse than Shen Xiaxia's mysterious art.

"Okay!" Shen Xia Xia nodded, then glanced sideways, her eyes fell on the cradle next to her: "But if both of us are not here, what will happen to the child? What if he encounters danger?"

Lu Jingchen chuckled: "Mingyi Technology has now even controlled the nearby time and space. There is nothing to be afraid of. It is difficult for the three realms of humans, ghosts, and immortals to break in."

Shen Xia Xia curled her lips: "But Cui Jue broke in."

Lu Jingchen smiled: "He appeared to test our system and provide us with materials. You can ask him to try again."

Shen Xia Xia never doubted Lu Jingchen's ability.

He never brags and will not do ten times what he says.

Since he is so confident this time, the matter must be settled.

So Shen Xia Xia no longer insisted on agreeing to take Lu Jingchen with her.

Shen Xia Xia held the death list in her hand, looking for patterns in it.

These people who buy houses all have one thing in common.

That means the eight characters are very weak and easily invaded by evil spirits.

Half of these buyers are human, and the other half are evil spirits...

There must be some intricate connection here.

Lu Jingchen sent people to visit these thousand households in advance to check on their conditions and try to find out where they wanted to go at night.

The answers were all without exception: they were all resting at home or going out to play, and no one wanted to come to this unfinished building.

Shen Xia Xia concluded: "The deaths of these people must have been unconscious and manipulated by something. People were arranged at 10 kilometers and 5 kilometers around the building in advance at night to forcibly stop these people."

Lu Jingchen: "We have already arranged the personnel."

Shen Xiaxia thought of the bus that disappeared in time and space before: "Is there any way to intercept the surrounding time and space? The previous bus disappeared by taking advantage of the time loophole."

Lu Jingchen nodded: "It's not a big problem, but after all, there are a lot of time and space, so there may be loopholes."

Shen Xia Xia: "There are many people who intercept the large space-time. The ability of those forces to travel through time and space is not good enough. I have seen Lu Mingan's ability. He is already in time and space, but he is still unable to find the specific whereabouts of the child."

Lu Jingchen: "We have arranged personnel and set up special electromagnetic waves near the building, so it is difficult for those dirty things and evil forces to get close."

Shen Xia Xia thought that the arrangements this time were already proper, and everything had been arranged properly, so that even a fly would find it difficult to fly in.

But she still felt a little uneasy, as if something was missing.

The tragic death scene last time still scares Shen Xia Xia, and she still blames herself, thinking that she was not prepared and therefore did not save this person.

This time, after Lu Jingchen had lunch, she and Lu Jingchen Feifei rushed to the real estate site.

In order to ensure that everything went smoothly, Shen Xia Xia even asked Fei Fei to place talismans and magical instruments near each building.

Shen Xia Xia paced back and forth worriedly.

Feifei had never seen Shen Xia Xia so unconfident and anxious.

Sister Xia Xia usually deals with those ghosts with a wave of her hand, or at worst she can get rid of them with just two hands.

But this time Shen Xia Xia was very uneasy, even a little anxious.

Feifei comforted her, "Sister Xia Xia, we have arranged so much in advance this time, nothing will happen, don't put too much pressure on yourself."

Shen Xia Xia took a deep breath and said, "Fei Fei, you don't know that the tragic death on the bus that day has become an indelible shadow in my mind. This is the first time I have a strong sense of defeat. I lost to those evil spirits. I am so worried that I can't save these 1,000 people today."

Fei Fei patted Shen Xia Xia's shoulder and said, "Last time it was an accident. We ignored the matter of time and space. This time we have guarded time and space, so everything will be fine."

Shen Xia Xia sighed: "Something has been overlooked, there must be something that has been overlooked."

Feifei: "It's still early, let me think about it with you."

Shen Xia Xia racked her brains but couldn't figure out what she had overlooked.

As time passed, Shen Xia Xia became more and more anxious and uneasy.

It was eleven o'clock in the evening, only an hour before the accident.

Shen Xia Xia used the Yunmengze Mirror to check the situation around the building, and found nothing unusual.

The less unusual something seemed, the more worried Shen Xia Xia became.

This shows that these people did not follow the usual path.

Shen Xia Xia quickly asked Lu Jingchen to check the status of time and space, but the various time and space displays showed that no one appeared, and everything in the time and space was normal.

Shen Xiaxia began to bite her nails non-stop: "Unusual, unusual, where did all these people go?"

Feifei comforted her, "Sister Xia Xia, you are just too anxious. There is still an hour left and these people haven't come yet. Wait a little longer."

For some reason, Shen Xia Xia felt inexplicably anxious and her heart was beating like a drum.

She was like a person drowning in the deep sea, the deep and cold sea water choked her nose and mouth, making it difficult for her to breathe.

This feeling of extreme near-death was not as painful as it was when she herself died.

"Is there anything going on?" Shen Xia Xia asked every three minutes.

Lu Jingchen realized that something was wrong with Shen Xiaxia, so he gently held her in his arms and patted her on the back: "I'm here, I'll take care of everything."

Shen Xia Xia suddenly began to cry. The soul cannot cry, but Shen Xia Xia's soul inexplicably shed tears. Shen Xia Xia covered her heart and said, "Jing Chen, my chest hurts so much, it hurts so much, it feels like thousands of knives are stabbing my heart at the same time."

Lu Jingchen hugged her, which made her feel a little calmer. Soon she realized something was wrong: "I feel this inexplicable heartache and discomfort, which is not my own at all. I am feeling other people's emotions, but whose emotions am I feeling? Who is so sad?"

There are only ten minutes left before death, and still no situation.

Now both Lu Jingchen and Feifei began to feel something was wrong. Logically, they should be able to see these people passing by from ten or five kilometers away.

But there were no people around, not even a car.

Shen Xia Xia no longer had time to feel sad, and forced herself to think about what she had overlooked.

"What exactly did we overlook?" The lives of a thousand people. Shen Xia Xia's hands were shaking.
