1. The exorcist who has never seen a ghost

The recorder pressed the recording and placed it on the table with one palm.
"Mr. Lu Li, you can say it."
The psychiatrist retracted his arm and leaned into the sofa.
The noisy night wind drifted into the office from outside the window, and the neon lights flashed outside the window, making a night view of the city.
"It's a long story." The man called Lu Li spoke.
The doctor said he didn't care at all: "Please feel free, I charge according to the duration."
"My name is Lu Li, 24 years old. I live in the power plant's family building in the inner ring of Pingling City. I am unmarried. I work at the Lu Li Detective Agency. Most of my working hours are at night. I don't smoke, and I only drink lightly. I sleep for a short time. I have to sleep for 8 hours a day. Before going to bed, I must drink a glass of warm milk, then do 20 minutes of soft fucking, go to bed, and fall asleep immediately. I will never leave fatigue and stress until the next day until dawn. The doctors say I am normal."
"Can you say it is related to the condition... I don't care, but you know the cost." The doctor sighed, showing a "one more" expression.
As a psychologist, he certainly saw many strange patients.
The man nodded and said slowly after a brief calm.
"I'm an exorcist."
...
In the dark corridor of the old community, an old couple said in Lu Li's door.
The narrow and wet aisle was filled with debris, including several old-fashioned bicycles with thick layers of gray.
"You have contacted Detective Agency?"
The two old men seemed to be in a bad state, and they seemed to be overly frightened. They looked at Lu Li carefully from head to toe, with alertness in their turbid eyes.
Lu Li's dress is very formal. The collar of the white shirt is tied with a slender black tie, black trousers, and a black windbreaker on the outside. With black hair and black eyes, the whole person has no other extra colors except black and white - this outfit is like a Taoist robe and a cassock, giving people a very powerful look.
The old man finally confirmed that Lu Li was "his own person". He took out a wrinkled small card with two lines of words in the matte card.
Luli Detective Agency
Handle supernatural events
"I am Lu Li, a detective in the Lu Li Detective Agency."
Lu Li took out the same but brand new postcard from his arms and handed it to the two old men.
"Quick...come in..." They eagerly moved out of the way.
Lu Li stepped into the room, and the bright sunshine at noon came in from the window on the rising sun.
Because I stood in front of the ventilated door, a warm summer hot wind came towards me after a quilt was sunburned.
And because of the good ventilation, the old man smell is almost impossible to smell here.
The sunny environment is so strong that it is not like a place where ghosts grow.
Lu Li examined and looked at the ordinary room layout, just like the home of an ordinary elderly man, with a layer of embroidered cloth covered with a TV and refrigerator.
Withdrew his gaze, Lu Li looked at each other with two pairs of eyes full of expectations.
"Can you tell me the specific situation? For example, what happened."
The old man said mysteriously: "Did you see it..."
Lu Li shook his head gently: "I didn't feel anything, so I asked you."
The old couple's disappointment was beyond words, but they still told Lu Li about their experience.
The sound of marbles on the floor at night, the cry of babies in the middle of the night, the white shadows flashing outside the window, and the strange sounds in the bathroom at night.
"I think this can be explained by scientific evidence. The former is the sound of building materials' thermal expansion and contraction, while the latter is summer now..." Lu Li, who was standing at the door, walked to the window, looked out, and looked over his head.
"... There are many wild cats usually? This is the third floor. The bungalow downstairs is only ten meters away from here. The cats scream in heat when they are in heat. There are clothes drying racks on the fourth and fifth floors upstairs. The white shadow you mentioned may be the clothes hanging outside when the wind blows down at night, and they happened to be seen by the two of you."
"As for the abnormal noise in the bathroom..." Lu Li didn't go to the bathroom to look at it, and turned to the two of them. "It's normal for the bathroom to connect to the sewer pipe, it's normal for some sound."
"I...we didn't lie to you! I really saw a ghost! If you don't believe me, ask my wife!"
"Yes, yes, I'll get up that night..."
The two old men hurriedly defended.
"Okay, I get it."
Lu Li's face calmly stopped the old man's narrative.
"I will start the exorcist ceremony next. Can you ask two of you to wait outside the door?"
"This..." The old man looked at each other with a look of dismay.
Although the ghost is quite scary, money is more important...
Lu Li, who knew what they were worried about, added: "This is the third floor, I have no place to run."
The two hesitant old men slowly came to the corridor and followed Lu Li behind him to close the door.

Lock the door by the way.
The two old men who also heard the sound of the locking tightened their expressions and heard spells that they could not understand began to ring behind the door, such as "I expel you" and "Lord, please save the world from the hands of the demon", which sounded very powerful and shameful.
After a burst of shouts, the door fell into silence. There was a sudden muffled bang, and the wall shook, and several old wall skins fell off.
The two old men trembled in fear and almost retreated to the opposite door.
The fighting sounds and muffled groans suddenly broke out in the room, and the two old men imagined a scene of a man fighting with an evil ghost.
At this time, in the house separated by a wall.
In contrast to the old man outside the door, Lu Li sat at the dining table calmly, except occasionally kicking a wooden chair, knocking on the table, and making a few muffled groans.
After dozens of seconds, Lu Li, who felt that the time was almost the same, stood up, kicked over the chair, and hit the wall with his side shoulder.
With a dull sound, the wall trembled.
Then there was a decade of peace.
Two old men held their breath, time passed by minute by minute...
The door opened and a figure appeared behind the door.
Lu Li's black eyes were calm, and his forehead was covered with sweat-like stains. He gasped: "It's all solved."
...
"Wait a minute, you said you were an 'exorcist' before," the psychologist interrupted Lu Li's narration. He bit the accent on the three words 'exorcist'.
Lu Li asked, "Do you think I am the kind of person who grabs the ghost's neck and shouts 'In the name of God'?"
The psychiatrist was silent and waved his hand to signal him to continue.
...
"The ghost has already..." The two old men leaned into the door and looked around.
"Dispose it." Lu Li turned sideways and signaled that they could come in.
Then comes the routine process after "exorcism" - paying for exorcism.
After receiving the reward, Lu Li said goodbye and left. When he walked to the path downstairs, a dark cloud suddenly covered the sun.
A coldness surged throughout his body. Lu Li seemed to notice something, stood still at his feet and looked back.
A black silhouette stood by the window on the third floor, raising his arms and swinging stiffly.
It's like saying hello, or saying goodbye.
