In an alley far from the city center.

The ground was a little dirty and messy, and there were children's mischievous graffiti on the telephone poles on the walls, such as "XX is a pig" and "XXXXX is a visit here".

There is a small shop with open windows as a sales outlet at the entrance of the alley. There is a piece of white red paper on the wall, and the paper has a brush written on the preferential prices for some snacks and popsicles.

A middle-aged man in a yellowed shirt was lying on a rocking chair, passing the time while browsing short videos on his mobile phone while enjoying the cool breeze brought by the small fan at the table.

Of course, this kind of small shop will not have any big business. At most, it is easier to buy food, rice, oil and salt from nearby neighbors. There are children who occasionally spend money on pocket money to secretly buy some snacks, spicy strips and toy cards.

Life is still quite comfortable.

Until a few days ago.

The boss yawned and suddenly felt a few shadows outside the window blocking the light.

"What are you going to buy...well?"

He called out subconsciously, but when he turned around, he found that the person coming was a little unfamiliar.

There are five people in total, three men and two women, both young people, they all look pretty good, and they are wearing uniform black uniforms. Judging from the strange appearance, you can tell that they are not from here.

"What are you?" He felt a little alert.

He was deeply influenced by TV series and was vaguely associated with a plot like a mysterious organization killing and silence.

The person who came was naturally Su Bai and his group who were asked by Shen Suxian to lead the team.

At this time, in addition to the two newcomers from the third team, Sun Qian and Gao Lin, there were two newcomers from the other group.

However, it is probably because they have already obtained information about this task from their superiors, and it is just a very simple investigation task, mainly for them to be familiar with and practice, so they obviously don’t take it too seriously.

The two members of the group were chatting relaxedly, while looking at the surrounding environment curiously.

They seem to have a good background and rarely come to such remote places.

As the temporary team leader, Su Bai naturally wanted to solve this task as soon as possible, so he did not drag on it. After gathering these newcomers, he immediately arrived at the mission location.

Although this ordinary alley can't see any mysterious incident at all.

He leaned against the window, first asked for a bottle of water, and then he put on a kind smile while making a change and asked casually: "Brother, I want to ask if there is something strange happening in the alley here recently?"

"Strange things? There is indeed." The boss recalled,

"Recently, those kids have come to me to buy snacks more often. I wonder if their appetite has grown bigger."

"Uh, that's all?"

"There are some, many people have lost things here recently. If you want to stay here, it's better to be careful." The boss kindly reminded.

"Yeah, thank you."

Su Bai nodded.

This is different from the information Shen Suxian gave him.

Leaving the entrance of the alley, he took a look at Shen Suxian’s previous information.

The person who called the police station at that time was a resident in this alley.

It is said that I have lost something from time to time at home recently.

Of course it was not something very valuable, otherwise he would have taken it seriously.

At first it should have been just a few small things like paper, pen, water bottles, and what he really lost that day was a workbook he bought for his children.

That is a weapon he bought to let his children practice alone after class so that he can beat other children of the same age in the future!

However, on that day, he was clearly working hard to tutor the child on the topic a few minutes ago. However, after a few minutes, he just went to pour a cup of tea and came back to find that the table was empty.

That heavy exercise book actually disappeared out of thin air!

When he asked the child whether he was deliberately hiding the exercise book to be lazy and not wanting to study, what the child said was also very strange, so strange that it was inexplicably creepy.

"A man just walked in from here and snatched the exercise book." The child blinked his big eyes, looking innocent.

What's terrifying is that the place he pointed at was outside the closed window.

The darkness of the night condensed into a ball, covering up the strong sense of oppression from the outside world, as if he could not see his five fingers.

But the key is...

The child lives in a room on the third floor!

Is it a thief who was in the middle of the night?

But what kind of thieves would only steal children's exercise books and not steal money?

It's simply incredible!

So after that, he began to pay attention to the movements at home.

Finally discovered the strange place.

Sometimes it is some paper and pen, some are meals, and some are some snacks and toys for children.

On the contrary, they seem to turn a blind eye to the money deposits they value most.

Even if they put it on the table on purpose, they cannot attract any attention.

It's getting more and more strange.

Later, the resident couldn't stand this crime of thieves, which had been boring over time, so he chose to call the police, hoping that a professional would find the thief who acted strangely and see how this guy's head grew.

Su Bai looked at the information and silently turned to the next page.

In fact, this person is not the only one who called the police.

There are three or four other people who are residents in this alley, and the reasons given for calling the police are similar, which is not surprising.

That is, this is not a single act.

Instead, it has become a "phenomenon"...

A mysterious event that is currently only found in this alley.

Moreover, this mysterious incident shows no sign of hurting people, it is just stealing something that has no great value in the eyes of ordinary people.

After seeing this alley, Su Bai immediately understood what Shen Suxian meant.

There are also experiences in dealing with strange things like this.

So it's no wonder, and you can even guess the general reason at a glance.

Most of them are caused by those souls who have obsessions during their lifetime.

Because I was unable to let go of something during my lifetime, even after I died, I would maintain my obsession during my lifetime and do some incredible things.

For example, "steal" something that has special significance to it like this.

"If it's just that, it's simple."

Su Bai breathed a lighter sigh and felt that the burden on his shoulders was a little lighter.

What he was most worried about was that something big could suddenly happen, which would delay his time in running the underworld.

Now it seems that this kind of ordinary little soul is just an ordinary little soul, and it has basically no lethality. Any official member can suppress it.

"Then boss, has anyone had funerals nearby recently?"

Su Bai turned his head and asked the boss again, and decided to cut the mess directly and go straight to the point.
