A dating guide turned into being surrounded by female ghosts?

Chapter 19: Starting Night Running

Lin Yue did not waste any time.

After getting off the bus, I went straight to the place where the elderly people gathered on Huailou Street.

If you want to find out about Brother Luo and his family, asking these people who have lived here for decades is the simplest way.

But unexpectedly...

"What? You went out?" Lin Yue asked in surprise.

The old man who took Lin Yue's pack of cigarettes nodded and said, "Yes, the eldest son of the Luo family left home half a month ago."

"When will he be back?"

"How would I know? He didn't tell me!" the old man said, glaring.

"What about Boss Luo's mother?" Lin Yue asked, still unwilling to give up.

"He died a long time ago. Not long after his second son went missing, his wife also passed away." The old man's dim eyes darted around as he sized up Lin Yue and asked, "Young man, who are you? Are you a relative of the Luo family?"

Lin Yue said, "Uh, I guess so, and I also have something I'd like to talk to them about."

He found himself becoming increasingly adept at lying lately.

After saying that.

Lin Yue simply took out the whole carton of cigarettes she had prepared, forcefully stuffed it onto the old man's lap, and wrote down a number.

He said very politely, "Sir, please keep an eye out for me. If Boss Luo comes back, please call me on this number. I really have something urgent to discuss with him."

The old man's eyes widened when he saw the whole carton of cigarettes.

With a smile, she said, "No problem, no problem, young man, leave this to me. Once he's back, I'll call him back for you immediately."

Lin Yue had no choice but to trust him.

The Luo family members have not been found.

He no longer needed to linger here.

After giving the old man a few more instructions,

He left the eerie old street, went to a nearby coffee shop, ordered an espresso, and sat down.

Lin Yue took a sip of coffee that was so bitter it made her numb.

He thought to himself, "What should I do now?"

Boss Luo isn't home.

In other words, the method of using family members to restrain evil spirits will not work.

And those monks, Taoist priests, nuns, and other religious figures are unreliable; I almost got scammed myself last time…

Forget it, I'll just wait a bit longer.

Lin Yue waited for another two or three days.

These past few days, he's been training his cardiovascular endurance while waiting for the old man to send him a message on his phone.

They waited anxiously for a long time, but there was still no news of the eldest son of the Luo family.

He was at a loss now.

I don't have that much time to keep waiting.

What if something changes on Wen Ning's side?

Now there's only one way left—to bite the bullet and take on this task.

It was past midnight.

The temperature in the southern city has suddenly turned cooler again in the past few days.

Therefore, it was quite chilly outdoors.

The night wind blew across the already desolate and old streets, causing a large number of withered leaves to swirl on the ground, making a "rustling" scraping sound, like someone scratching a blackboard with their fingernails, making people feel uncomfortable from head to toe.

For tonight's mission, Lin Yue specially chose a loose-fitting outfit and brand-name running shoes, all in order to run ten kilometers in one go and try to get that mysterious special reward.

He twisted his arms and legs to warm up a little.

Although he is now deliberately standing some distance away from the street.

But with only a little over a hundred meters between them, there was no way to guarantee their safety.

So Lin Yue's eyes darted nervously around, trying to hide anything strange in the shadows.

Fortunately, nothing strange happened after he stood there.

But who knows what will happen after that...

I took two deep breaths, letting a large amount of oxygen fill my alveoli and mix with my blood.

Lin Yue's mind cleared up considerably.

He brought up the attributes panel.

"Host: Lin Yue"

Gender: Male.

Occupation: Third-year student at Seongnam University.

Strength: 0.9.

Agility: 1.3.

"Spirit: 1.2".

"Constitution: 1.1."

Willpower: 1.5

This is his current personal attribute.

"I put all the attribute points I got from the mission into agility and physique. In addition, I've done some intensive training these past few days. With my current physical condition, running 10 kilometers shouldn't be a problem. The real issue is how to ensure my safety."

Song Jiale once said that in the old city area of ​​Nancheng, those horrifying things are particularly likely to happen.

Although I don't know the specific reason.

But Huai Lou Street is right on the edge of the old town, so I have to be careful.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Yue turned around, took out his phone, and booked a taxi for himself. However, the pick-up location he requested was not on Huailou Street, but on a main road ten kilometers away from here.

······

A yellowed taxi was parked on the side of the road.

Just then, a voice message suddenly rang from the phone that was in the car.

"Ding! A new order has been delivered to you!"

Driver Lao Feng was leaning against the car window smoking when he heard the sound. He quickly picked up his phone and glanced at the orders the platform had assigned to him.

Yes, the passenger isn't far from here; we should be able to pick them up in two or three minutes.

But just as he was about to start the engine...

"bite--"

The phone alerted the passenger that they had received a message.

Old Feng squinted and saw what was written on it.

"Driver, please don't close the back door or turn off the engine when you arrive. Please wait for me here for about an hour."

Upon hearing these demands, Lao Feng immediately frowned. Leaving aside the fact that the car door wasn't closed, he simply couldn't accept the idea of ​​leaving the engine running for an hour.

Does this kid even know how expensive gas is these days?

And how many orders can I take in this hour?

Isn't this just making things difficult for people?

Old Feng shook his head, thinking to himself, "Which young master has come out now, thinking the world revolves around him?"

He mentally grumbled to himself, then typed on his phone, "Sorry, these conditions are a bit harsh. Perhaps you could find a driver you can accept?"

However, the passenger did not answer directly, but instead changed the subject and sent a message.

"Master, is this phone number the platform gave you for your Taobao account?"

Old Feng immediately became alert.

"??? What are you going to do?"

The series of question marks expressed his inner confusion.

But the next notification immediately dispelled all his concerns.

"Ding—200 yuan has been credited to your Alipay account!"

A pleasant female voice came from the phone.

At the same time, another sentence from the passenger arrived: "This is the deposit for this service. If you get on the bus later, there will be another 300 yuan deposit. This should make up for your loss. Is that alright?"

Old Feng's eyes lit up suddenly.

Holy crap, this isn't some young master at all.

This guy is clearly a god of wealth!

After picking up the passenger, there's still 300 left, which adds up to 500. This doesn't even include the platform's commission. The economic climate isn't good right now.

And all they asked for was to wait an extra hour.

Where can you still find a job that pays 500 this month?

Old Feng's heart was pounding, and he quickly spoke up.

"Young Master, who said your conditions are bad? They're excellent! I accept! Don't worry, I'll definitely do it according to your requirements!"

They were afraid that this lucrative opportunity would slip through their fingers.

······

Lin Yue stared at her phone with a strange expression.

Who is the young master?
