At this moment, the night coffee shop's lights were still dim and warm.

In the back room of the coffee shop, there was a small room. There was a writing desk inside and a sofa opposite it. There was no other furniture, making it look like a study.

The mysterious old man, who had just met Zhang Yifan and Third Uncle, was sitting on a chair in front of a writing desk. The driver of the truck was sitting opposite to him on the sofa.

The truck driver spoke first.

"Who are those people? Why are they here?" Then, he unconsciously frowned.

The old man explained, "These people are here to ask me some questions." The old man didn't seem to want to explain, so he explained vaguely.

The middle-aged man sneered, "Why are you looking for me? Are you just going to let them go? They are the ones who have examined my undead today. " With that, the truck driver looked at the old man quietly.

The old man was shocked, "What, they checked the goods? How can you let them inspect the goods! " After the old man finished speaking, he became extremely angry and started waving his hands.

Indeed, the truck driver slowly told them what had happened during the day.

"It's quite a coincidence that you ran into them there. That way, they would have a better reason to die." After the old man finished speaking, he couldn't help but sneer.

The truck driver was not surprised. It was as if killing people was a common occurrence. He only absent-mindedly played with the teacup in his hand.

"Then how are you going to do it? If I knew earlier, I would have asked them to stay, but now I don't know where to start."

The truck driver suddenly said.

The corners of the old man's mouth curled up, as if he wasn't worried in the slightest.

"I've already sent people to follow them. Luckily, I already planned to get rid of them. As soon as they left, I called for them to follow me closely. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find them."

As the old man spoke, he couldn't help but feel proud of himself.

However, the truck driver frowned, as if this old man wasn't pleasing to the eye.

"No matter what you do to them, it's your business. "Now it's time to talk about the goods. Where's your money?"

The old man, however, was not anxious. He slowly said, "There's no hurry. Let me take a look at the goods first."

The two talked for half an hour before the truck driver walked out of the room. The waitress woke up from her sleep and realized it was late. She quickly packed up her things and got ready to start.

As for the two people who were following Third Uncle and Zhang Yifan, they had already turned into two ice-cold corpses.

In the hotel, two people and a ghost sat down and began to talk.

"I think there's something wrong with that old man …" Yun Xiaoxiao was the first to speak.

Third Uncle instead asked, "Tell me, what's wrong?"

"His yang aura is so powerful, he does not look like an old man at all, but more like a middle-aged man. "I wonder if he's pretending or if he's really that old." Yun Xiao shook his head as if he wasn't sure.

Third uncle was also surprised, but he soon began to suspect the old man's true identity.

If he says he's the editor's brother, and if he's lying, he's probably the boss.

Third Uncle quickly asked Yun Xiaoxiao, "Do you remember what the age of the editor of the original magazine was?"

"About this." Yun Xiaoxiao seemed to have forgotten something, as she scratched her head and said, "I remember that he was a middle-aged man in his thirties back then." After saying that, Yun Xiao nodded, as if he was sure of something.

Hearing this, Third Uncle felt a bit strange. This way, the old man wouldn't be the magazine editor anymore, but it was more likely that he really was his older brother.

But according to his own reasoning, he was lying. It should be the editor of the magazine.

However, what Yun Xiao Mo said reminded third uncle of something.

Looking at how Third Uncle was thinking, Yun Xiao could not help but ask, "What are you thinking about? Why not think about it together?"

I nodded in support of Cloud's little idea.

Hearing this, Third Uncle couldn't help but laugh. He had also forgotten the simple reasoning behind it.

So Third Uncle said, "He said he's the magazine editor's brother, right? But now we know he'll lie to us, right?"

Yun Xiaoxiao and I nodded, and thought about it.

"In that case, it is a paradox. However, what Yun Xiaoxiao had just said was the key to solving the problem. It was true that he was an old man, but his yang aura was much more vigorous than an ordinary old man. So what does it mean? "

Yun Xiao and I couldn't help but look at each other, neither of us had any intention of seeing the answer in the other's eyes.

"Isn't he related to the Spirit King? And the driver we saw today was also related to the Undead. I suspect that after staying with the ghost for a long time, his own vital energy has more or less been absorbed as well, causing him to become old and decrepit. "

When I heard this, I jumped in fright. This kind of monster would be devoured even after staying for too long! I involuntarily stepped back a little way from the cloud.

Yun Xiaoxiao was instantly displeased and shot a cold glance in my direction. She then obediently moved the chair back a little.

Third Uncle saw this and smiled, saying, "Xiaofan, don't worry. This will take a long time. Since you didn't stay with Yun Xiaoxiao for long, it should be fine. Furthermore, they have deliberately suppressed it, so you don't have to worry about anything. "

When Yun Xiaoxiao heard this, she was somewhat happy. She gave a "hmph" in response to Third Uncle's good intentions.

So that's how it is. Then I don't have to be too scared.

I thought I would be ten years older if I stayed with Cloudy Little for another two days, and I suddenly felt terrible.

I couldn't help but wonder what would happen if I slept with the ghost and was sucked dry by her. Immediately, I felt my lower body shiver, and I didn't dare to think about it anymore.

Third Uncle said seriously, "Now we can roughly confirm that he is the editor of Nightfall magazine. As for the matter with him, let's leave it for now. Let's talk about the truck driver first. "

As soon as third uncle finished talking, I immediately followed up, "Third uncle, isn't this the corpse hide poison? Then why is it here today? It's definitely this old man who has a deal with him. Could it be that this old man is a drug dealer?"

Third Uncle nodded and said, "Your analysis is correct, but we have to guard against the undead. They can be manipulated as easily as the real zombies."

Yun Xiao also nodded her head as she listened to him, it seemed that this undead was also difficult for her to deal with.

"How about this, today's truck driver's appearance disrupted our plans. After they finished the transaction, we will go find him and force him to tell us the truth as well as the Ghost King's current hiding place!"

The last time they let the Spirit King run away, they really misunderstood their plan. If they killed the Ghost King at that time, then there wouldn't be so much of a problem. But if this didn't happen, then perhaps they wouldn't have been able to find the old man and wouldn't have been able to discover the truth behind this.

Speaking of which, it was hard to tell if it was a blessing or a curse.

Thinking of this, Third Uncle couldn't help but shake his head and sigh.

"Alright, we'll follow your arrangements, Third Uncle." After hearing what Third Uncle said, I nodded and agreed.

Yun Xiaoxiao also nodded her head, but she did not seem like she was going to say anything else.

Third Uncle changed the topic and asked Yun Xiaoxiao, "Do you remember the editor of your magazine in the past? And why did he waste so much time and effort to kill someone related to you? Even you were almost scared out of your mind. This is not a coincidence."

Hearing this, Yun Xiaoxiao began to ponder, as if she was trying to find information regarding the editor of the magazine from her memory.

In the end, Yun Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "I can't remember anymore. The impression he gave me was not that deep, so I can't remember clearly."

In the end, Yun Xiao gave up thinking and shook his head.

Hearing this, Third Uncle was not surprised, so he said, "It's fine if you don't remember, but when we arrest him and interrogate him, everything will be clear."

"Okay, that's it for now. I'll go over there tomorrow morning and see if the truck driver is there. After that, we'll move around at night and try to find some useful information from these old men. Go to bed early now, so that you won't lose your spirits tomorrow. "

Third Uncle waved his hand, indicating that I should take a bath first so that I could go to bed early.

I randomly chose a few clothes that I brought along and walked into the bathroom. After taking a good hot bath, I immediately felt that my tired body and mind had been freed and couldn't help but cry out in comfort …

Outside, Yun Xiaoxiao and third uncle were also in an awkward position. One man and one ghost, neither of them spoke first.

Finally, Third Uncle couldn't help himself anymore. "You can go back to the wine jar and stay there. Otherwise, we won't be able to sleep peacefully tonight. " With that, Third Uncle took the jar and covered it with the lid.

Yun Xiao was bored to death thinking of returning to the pitch-black wine jug with nothing to show for it. He suddenly felt unhappy, but the hotel was very different. It wasn't easy to stay in a single room, so he had no choice.

Following which, Yun Xiaoxiao turned into a puff of green smoke and floated into the wine jar.

Third Uncle then closed the lid with satisfaction and took out the clothes he had changed into.

I didn't know how much time had passed before I could faintly hear someone shouting from outside the bathroom, "Xiaofan, hurry up. You've already been bathing for half an hour, still haven't come out!"

It was only then that I suddenly understood. Third Uncle had been waiting anxiously for me to come out after washing up.
