In the end, I had no way to change the ending. Under Wu Jian's pity, Lu Lu's reluctance, and my mother's worried eyes, I went to Shangjing alone.
When I set foot on the land of Shangjing, I didn't have any worries, but I seemed to be full of pride.
It's not because I've become bolder, but because, hey, I raised my right hand and looked, and the black spike pattern was very clear.
Fortunately, I forgot to tell them that I got the ghost cone.
With the mysterious underworld cone and the 36 elite mummies inside, I am confident that I will be invincible in all directions in the sewers of Shangjing.
Unfortunately, it's the sewers.
I suddenly lost interest, and more, I was at a loss.
How do I find the sewer, it seems that taxis can't reach it.
After thinking about it for a long time, I took out the newspaper and read it, planning to start with this newspaper called "New Things".
Although the newspaper office of the news is not well-known in the huge Shangjing, it can't help the taxi driver.
The taxi driver asked his colleagues for help, and after taking me to see the scenery of various places in Shanghai, he finally sent me to the signboard with the news media.
In my stomach, after paying enough to charter a car, I suddenly realized that the news media is not far from the place where I got off, and I could even see the eye-catching sign on the station from a distance.
Sure enough, taxis everywhere share the same work ethic.
When I arrived at the destination, I stood at the door, hesitating a little, should I pretend to be an enthusiastic reader, or pretend to apply for a job.
Just when I hadn't made up my mind, I heard the security guard at the gate greeting two young people.
"Editor Li and Editor Zhou are out for dinner."
The two young people responded with a smile, and then they talked about something and walked to a small shop on the side.
My heart moved, I silently followed, and sat down next to the two editors.
He ordered food casually, his ears pricked up.
Editor Li: "Old Zhou, the sales volume has dropped a bit recently. It's hard. The editor-in-chief has scolded me several times, saying that the ghost stories I wrote are not real enough. Sir, I have never seen a ghost. How can it be real?"
Editor Zhou smiled: "It's not easy for you to see a ghost. Try the haunted house on Deyang Road and the Bianmao light rail station by yourself at night. You will definitely feel it. If it really doesn't work, go to the sewer?"
Editor Li shuddered visibly with the naked eye: "Fuck off, I don't want to die, these places are too evil, have you heard that another child disappeared in the sewer yesterday, if it weren't for the higher authorities not allowing reports, this I can write a flower."
The sewer, my heart moved, I asked the boss to add some dishes, took a few bottles of wine, pushed it over, and opened my mouth curiously.
"You two are the editors of the new news. The sewer you are talking about is not the one you reported half a year ago."
The two of them gave me a strange look, then looked at the dishes I had added, and declined with embarrassment. Under the deliberate flattery of my familiarity, the two of them still told them what to say. The situation told me.
The sewer in the report is located at the sea outlet of Shanghai, and it is one of the largest major sewage outlets in Shanghai, covering almost the entire old city of Shanghai, and it can be said to be intricate.
Later, due to the relocation of the industry, now it mainly discharges treated domestic water.
The corpse incident happened half a year ago.
A year ago, a family of three living in the old city of Shangjing disappeared mysteriously and has never been found. However, since then, the pipes in that building have been clogged.
It’s just that no one noticed at the time that many pipes in old cities, especially in old houses, have relatively small diameters, and blockages are commonplace.
It was not until half a year ago that the clogged pipes began to seep water that the municipality planned to carry out a large-scale cleanup.
But this cleanup scared several people to paralysis on the spot.
The thigh-thick ducts were completely blocked by sundries and unknown minced meat. ,
At that time, people just felt disgusting and terrible, but after cleaning up, the minced meat was blocked for hundreds of meters without reaching the end. The key point is that human hair and nails were found in the minced meat. A phalanx belonging to a child was amputated.
Now it was a big incident. The criminal police directly intervened in the investigation. After comparison, it was found that the minced meat was all human, including the missing family of three.
With the cleaning of the pipeline, the situation gradually became clearer.
The earliest minced meat appeared three years ago. Because it was washed by sewage, it had reached the grit chamber of the sewage pipeline at the estuary, which had a length of more than 40 kilometers.
Moreover, the minced meat that was finally found, after testing, there were as many as 50 or 60 people. Because of the seriousness of the case, all the media were directly issued a gag order.
Because there was no follow-up report, the incident slowly fell silent.
However, many people said that strange things began to happen in the sewer because they dug up the sewage pipe, disturbed the souls of the dead, and failed to solve the case to avenge them.
However, both editors scoffed at this statement.
One of the two editors is serializing ghost stories for the newspaper, and the other editor is specialized in editing criminal investigation news, so they are both very curious about this incident, under the investigation of the two.
The sewage pipes in the old city, which are less than 8 kilometers from the estuary to Xinhua Road, are the most evil. In this incident, the two-meter-diameter pipes were blocked in the place where the minced meat piled up the most.
As if afraid that I would not believe it, the two editors also told me a few real examples.
For example, the location of the sea estuary is obviously full of low railings, but the place where the sewage exits and the smell is stinky has the highest number of suicides. You must know that the usual passers-by there will avoid it, and, so far, none of the suicide victims' bodies have been successfully recovered.
There is also the Xinhua Road they just mentioned. The manhole cover is obviously installed, but people keep falling down. Well, it may be said that the manhole cover was stolen.
But the depth is less than 3 meters, and there is not much water. Those who fall always disappear.
Those people would not yell for help and crawl away along the sewage pipe. But even if they crawled away, they could always find people or corpses, but there was nothing, as if they had disappeared out of thin air.
The most frightening thing is that once, a missing person was found in a branch pipe that even children could not pass through, and he had already turned into minced meat. You know, he was going in the opposite direction, which is simply inexplicable.
After all, the murderer can no longer pour minced meat into the sewage pipe like a sausage in a place with a huge amount of sewage.
And just yesterday, another ten-year-old child fell into a sewage pit on Xinhua Road. He also disappeared, and it was unknown where he would turn into minced meat and appear in the pipeline.
The two editors probably went crazy because of the gag order, and told me everything in one go.
I also had an inexplicable fear of this horrible sewer, it seems that it is not a sewer, but a man-eating monster, quietly hiding in the ground, ready to choose to eat people at any time.
