Liu Mo, the manager of Guixin Inn, was frugal by nature. The first thing he did these days was to spend five dollars to hire the cheapest exorcist.
There is no other way. Every night in the store, the dishes and chopsticks sing to themselves and they slap the customers.
Business was bleak and the shopkeeper was in tears.
Yan Ling, the exorcist, arrived as promised - fainting from hunger at the door and grabbing his ankles to beg for food.
The young man was dressed in black and had red stripes. His combat power was at the limit, and his appetite... Was also at the limit.
Liu Mo looked at the rapidly disappearing grain, and his eyes darkened: "Master, the price of exterminating the demon is five yuan, but you have already eaten five taels of me!"
Yan Ling raised his head, his eyes clear: "Food and lodging are included, and I will get rid of the demon. Also comes with a message: Your inn is a murderous house that was destroyed fifty years ago."
Later, resentful spirits knocked on the door, spirits cried, and monsters surrounded them.
The stingy shopkeeper dialed the abacus and photographed the "bills" one by one on the case:
"Accommodation fee, three yuan."
"Scare fee, five dollars."
"Excess fee... Yan Ling, please give me a price."
The young man in black wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of his mouth, and the frost on his fingertips condensed into monsters.
He looked at Liu Mo, his eyes reflecting the warm yellow candlelight:
"Shopkeeper, your life is very valuable."
"——It will take my whole life and personal protection to pay for it."
Intention: The most vicious things in the world are not monsters, but unheard wishes and unrepaid karma.
