Hearing the screams, Lao Zhan's face trembled and he rushed faster than Yin Ren himself. The road in front of the ghost pawn shop is also considered his territory. It is bad etiquette to cause trouble in the ghost market, and it is a slap in the face to make trouble in front of the ghost pawn shop.
Yin Ren removed most of the divination traces, leaving only a black line guiding the way, almost flying out the door. Lao Zhan's eyes were glowing red and his mouth was wide open, almost tearing his entire face apart. Its venomous teeth were pressing against the neck of a strong man, and the strong man's hands were covered in blood and he was struggling painfully - his arms were unnaturally folded, and the broken bones pierced the skin, leaving bloody limbs hanging out.
A few steps away, there lay a strange child with all the facial features on the top of his skull. At this moment, his neck was soft and broken, and his orifices were bleeding. The face that was originally on the top of his head was facing forward, and he looked somewhat like a "normal person".
The deformed child was incontinent, his body was stiff, and he had no breath. There seemed to be no adults around him. The remaining customers of the ghost pawn shop gathered in a pile where they were, and whispers swayed between the lantern walls.
Yin Ren and Zhong Cheng looked at each other.
"Zhi'an special transfer group nine." Yin Ren took out his work card, showed his identity, and then made a secret. The mud and sand rose up, covering the man like a beggar chicken, making him unable to move.
On the other side, Zhong Cheng said he dialed 110 almost reflexively.
Seeing An immediately intervened, Lao Zhan had to retract his teeth. The look in his eyes as he looked at the strong man was extremely malicious, and Yin Ren had no doubt that if Shi'an and his party had not been there, the matter of the strong man would have been "digested internally" in a physical sense.
"You dare to break the rules in front of my door." Until the strong man was caught by the armed personnel from Shi'an who came over, Lao Zang still flashed his copper-yellow tines and kept muttering in his mouth. "Those who break the rules will die..."
The mouth that stretches over its head has not yet closed, and the entire head seems to be completely split from the back of the head. Threads of mucus were pulled out from between the zombie's dirty teeth, and yellow-green gas spewed out of its mouth from time to time.
Hearing the sound behind him, Yin Ren turned around and saw Huang Jin taking two steps back with a look of disgust on his face.
"Thinking." Huang Jin covered his mouth and looked a little blue, "Everyone around him is thinking about this. They are a little panicked, and the number of thoughts has increased greatly."
This old guy didn't forget to be sarcastic when he was doing divination, and he remembered it quite clearly.
Looking at the figure of the strong man struggling, Yin Ren frowned slightly.
"What happened to me?"
Zhong Cheng said, turning his dark eyes and looking at Lao Zhan, who kept whispering. Lao Zheng still remembered the sense of crisis brought by this face. Although it was in a weird state, it protected his chest as if on a conditioned reflex.
The strong man was pulled away from the front, the veins on his neck were bulging, and he was roaring in confusion.
"Well..." Lao Zhan, who had recovered from his fatigue, touched his skinny cheek, "When I said, 'I'll accompany you to find the truth,' I didn't mean to follow your actions. You see, I have to do this business, and you don't use it every day. You can’t get enough of my old bones, right?”
"That kid's face is on the top of his head. It's very unpleasant to look at. I just want to correct him! You guys can't do things like this, right? I'm doing this for everyone's comfort. What's wrong with me? Ah! ?”
"You treat your good intentions like a fucking donkey's liver and lungs! Don't you think you are good people? If I do good deeds, I should not be rewarded?"
Yin Ren looked at the direction where the strong man's figure disappeared for a while: "Stay far away first, and the investigation will continue. Boss Lao Zheng, do you still mean what you said?"
But if this person had ulterior motives and killed a weirdo with no background, what good would it do
Shala.
Shi'an suppressed the man completely, but Lao Zhan still stared at the strong man, the red light in his eyes getting brighter and brighter. It did not hide its murderous intent and malice. At first glance, it was no different from an ordinary evil creature without consciousness.
In the world that no one can see, Huang Jin is almost drowned by the rising tide of thinking. There is a lunatic walking next to him who can kill people, and everyone needs to take a break. Even if there are not many people in the ghost pawn shop, these rapidly increasing panic thoughts are still quite annoying.
The murderous aura and malice weakened a lot in an instant. Zhong Cheng said that he looked away and continued to observe the strong man who killed people.
"You have to die, you have to die, you have to die..."
"What's wrong with you?" Ge Tingting was puzzled.
On the other hand, this person has nothing to do with his divination black line, and there are no special traces of magic on his body. There are indeed many weirdos in the ghost market. Could it be that he is just an ordinary lunatic? The timing of this trouble was too coincidental.
It took out the e-cigarette again, adjusted its gold-rimmed glasses, and looked completely different from the terrifying monster with the fierce look on its face just now.
This person is not very capable, and what he just said seems to be true, but the content is really lacking in order. Otherwise, the strong man was almost indistinguishable from the other guests present.
This movement seemed to wake it up, and Lao Zhan immediately coughed twice, and his mood finally became a little normal.
"I'm just joking with you." Yin Ren said, "I only have one question. Just answer it truthfully."
"Tell me everything you know."
As he said this, Lao Zhan deliberately adjusted his posture and assumed his usual defensive posture.
"Was your murderous intention towards that person different from usual?" Yin Ren asked bluntly, "I am also the one who broke the rules in front of you, but you were not so... direct at that time."
Lao Zang glanced at the black divination line on the ground, and then at the yellow beam hanging on Yin Ren's cell phone. Finally, he took a puff on his electronic cigarette and walked leisurely to the corner. Yin Ren followed him with understanding, completely staying away from the crowd who were still discussing the situation.
"I don't like to owe favors. This time I told the truth. From now on, we will owe nothing to each other, and the things I promised you will be canceled."
Lao Zhan returned to his gentle and polite tone, but there was no sincerity in it. His tone was extremely drawn out, and the smoothness of his words made people feel a little uncomfortable.
"Actually, it's nothing. I've never liked people with bad rules - business people. Who likes people who slap themselves in the face? That kid just left me with blood in front of my door. I just got the blood on my head..."
"You don't have the physiological conditions for hot-bloodedness." Zhong Cheng muttered to the shriveled zombie.
Lao Zheng: "I was just so angry that I couldn't calm down..."
"You were in an abnormal state for twenty-three seconds just now." Zhong Cheng said and continued to mutter in a low voice.
Lao Zang slowly turned his head: "You guys from Zhi'an are all here. I'm already very nervous and stressed, and everyone loses control sometimes. To be honest, I just got really angry for a moment, thinking about killing that person." I felt so happy when I bit my throat. "Really, that's it. I admit that I'm not usually this irritable. Don't take it to heart."
After saying that, it specifically moved away from Zhong Cheng.
Although the situation was tense, Yin Ren almost laughed out loud, but he still held back and just squeezed Zhong Cheng's hand. The old zombie was a slick corpse, and he had been living in this ghost market for hundreds of years. Even if he finds that something is wrong with him, he is reluctant to admit it directly in front of security personnel.
Zhong Cheng, on the other hand, seemed to want to express something, scratching and scratching Yin Ren's palm with his claws. Yin Ren understood and deliberately adjusted his position to block the sight of Huang Jin and Ge Tingting, and then raised his ears.
"... Just now you said that if you bite that man to death, you will feel happy?"
After hearing Zhong Cheng's muttering, Yin Ren raised his voice.
"Hey, do you really want to hold on to this? To put it bluntly, even though I am an evil thing, I haven't hurt anyone after all, and you have no reason to check me out?"
"I'm not trying to hold people accountable, I'm just asking - your emotion just now, was it 'you will feel happy if you kill him'?"
Lao Zang patted his chest to confirm that the conversation was all recorded, and then whispered "yes" in a low voice.
Ge Tingting looked at Lao Zhan and then at Yin Ren, seemingly realizing something. She took out her mobile phone and typed a line of notes.
[Investigating the ghost market at night, someone killed someone in front of the ghost pawn shop in the early morning. The owner of the ghost pawn shop, Lao Zong, had obvious murderous intentions, but did not cause any clear harm.]
[Their motives seem to be related to "feeling happy".]
At the end of the black line is a small stall on the main street of Ghost Market. The owner of the stall is also an acquaintance who causes headaches.
"Ouch, isn't this Xiao Yin Xiaozhong!" Peng Laogou smiled brightly. He poked his head with sparse white hair out of the darkness behind the door, and the two payment code cards around his neck swayed with his movements.
The black divination thread hidden by the night happened to be in front of this person's stall.
This time, there was still a red light in front of Peng Laogou's stall. But this time he set up a stall, which was neatly filled with a dazzling array of knick-knacks. It was not much different from other stalls around it.
When Ge Tingting saw the person related to the disappearance of Xiaohe's mother, he was about to rush over on the spot, but was held down by Yin Ren with one hand.
The seriousness on Yin Ren's face disappeared instantly, and for a moment, he returned to the carefree and relaxed look he had when he first entered Shi'an.
"Master Peng, you are well. We happened to be doing business nearby, and I made a bet with Cheng just now that this stall must be yours."
"Good eyesight." Peng Laogou's old face showed a smile along with the facial sores, "Why, you don't take care of our business?"
After that, he puffed out his chest like dried salted duck, and showed a strong aura of "a household with a strong connection" to the surrounding stalls, and the few hairs on his head had a little more sparkle.
"Then we will certainly take care of it, the new goods?" Yin Ren answered with a smile.
"They are all good things found in ghost pawn shops." Peng Laogou said mysteriously, "We are acquaintances, and I won't hide it from you. Have you ever heard of Pan Yuyuan? There may be the best treasures hidden in the bulk goods. , it all depends on vision and luck.”
Yin Ren's eyes quickly scanned the groceries on the red cloth.
Peng Laogou's stall has just been opened, and the pleats on the red cloth are very bright.
Yin Ren was very sure that more than 90% of the goods on the red cloth came from Pinduoduo, and the prices listed below were ridiculously expensive, similar to the routine of "construction workers digging out cultural relics at the construction site". 10% of them were probably real spiritual weapons, and the quality was worrying. Behind them, Huang Jin's eyes almost rolled to the sky.
The end of the divination black line points directly to something.
It was a crudely carved wooden charm with a cartoon rabbit. This image should have looked clumsy and warm, but the rabbit's black eyes reflected dim light, and a cold and evil aura quietly coiled around the wooden talisman.
The aura of evil power is very light, very similar to the one on the amulet in the brocade bag.
Yin Ren casually picked up the rabbit wooden charm, ignoring the price tag of 668 yuan: "64 yuan 8, do you want to sell it? My partner likes this kind of thing, so I just want to make him happy."
Peng Laogou instantly showed an expression as if he had been punched. After a while, he coughed twice: "Fracture price, take it if you like."
"Oh, I've been uneasy these past few days. There was just a death at the Ghost Pawn Shop, so the workload has increased again."
Yin Ren installed the wooden talisman seemingly casually and said in a casual tone.
"Haha, I saw it!"
Peng Laogou laughed again, this time his smile was too bright. The toothless mouth grinned widely, and there was darkness inside.
"I was at the scene when that guy strangled the child to death. It's a pity that it was so crowded that I couldn't see clearly. You don't know, this kind of thing hasn't happened in the ghost market for a long time."
"But don't tell me, it's quite exciting if something like this happens once in a while."
he said with a smile.
"What a pleasure."
