Outside the old town.
The man who had just unfolded the Forbidden Ruins was sitting by the notice board. He looked back at half of the old city, which was as still as a canvas. He shook his head helplessly, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and started playing Xiaomi.
"Brother, why are you sitting here playing with your phone in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid that your butt will catch a cold?"
Not long after, a pedestrian came over from the opposite road and was immediately happy when he saw this scene.
The man raised his head and glanced at him, then lowered his head and continued working, "I have nothing to do, I'm so busy."
The pedestrian smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket and handed it to the man.
The man waved his hand and said seriously, "No smoking during working hours."
"Hey, you squatting on the road playing with your mobile phone, does this count as work?" The pedestrian was amused.
"Um."
"Okay." The pedestrian shrugged, stood up and walked towards the street behind the man.
"Where are you going?" the man suddenly said.
"go home."
"You can't go back, at least not now."
The pedestrian raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"This road is blocked now. You can't go back until it is opened." The man pointed to the signboard behind him.
Pedestrians followed his hand and saw the sign that stood inexplicably in the middle of the road. Just as they were about to say something, they saw the four big words "No Travel Ahead" flashing away.
The eyes of passers-by suddenly became glazed over
After a few seconds, he turned around stiffly and walked back step by step towards the way he came, his eyes full of confusion...
The man seemed not surprised by this. Just as he was about to continue playing Xiaomi, another man's voice suddenly sounded in the headset.
"Zhao Kongcheng!!"
The moment this voice sounded, the man suddenly sat up from the ground. The leisurely and sleepy look on his face disappeared, replaced by absolute seriousness!
"Here! Captain, what happened?"
"Something went wrong. A Ghost-Faced King emerged from this group of Ghost-Faced Men. While we were encircling the other Ghost-Faced Men, he jumped up and seriously injured Hongying, and escaped from the sewers and out of the confines of the Forbidden Ruins."
"Ghost Face King?" Zhao Kongcheng's expression changed, "Which direction did he run to? I'll intercept it!"
"No, Kongcheng, you are not good at fighting and cannot defeat the Ghost Faced King. I will chase him.
Zhao Kongcheng was stunned, "Then I..."
"After the Ghost-Faced King escaped, two more Ghost-Faced Men took the opportunity to escape into the sewers. Others were cleaning up the remaining Ghost-Faced Men who couldn't get away."
"Which direction?"
"southeast."
"good."
Zhao Kongcheng's eyes flashed, and he ran quickly to the other end of the street, got into a black van, stepped on the accelerator, and sped away amidst the buzzing sound.
On his passenger seat, there was a black and red cloak neatly folded.
And a sheathed fixed blade!
…
"Okay, I'm going to turn this corner. I'm leaving first."
Wang Shao stopped, turned around and said to the four people behind him.
At this moment, Li Yifei seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Wang Shao, if I remember correctly, is your home next to the old city
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
"...It's nothing. Just remember to be careful on your way back."
The corner of Wang Shao's mouth twitched slightly and he rolled his eyes, "If you have something to say, just say it. Don't hold it back mid-sentence. It will make people feel uncomfortable."
Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, "I heard that the old city has been uneasy recently, and there is a perverted murderer!
"Perverted murderer? Real or fake!" Jiang Qian didn't believe it.
"Of course it's true!" Li Yifei looked around and lowered his voice, "You may not know this, but more than a dozen people have died in the old city in recent days."
"More than a dozen people? Impossible. If there was such a big movement, the news would have been reported long ago." Wang Shao shook his head.
"Hey, how can it be impossible? Let me tell you, this happened strangely. Someone from above forcibly suppressed the wind. If my father hadn't been working at the police station, I wouldn't have known about it."
"Weird? What's so weird?"
"It is said..." Li Yifei paused and lowered his voice a little.
"It is said that the entire faces of those who died were peeled off, leaving only a bloody mass of flesh and protruding eyes. The technique was extremely cruel!"
The cool evening breeze blew by. When they heard these words, several people felt a chill rushing from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
"Li Yifei! Are you sick? You are talking like this at night!" Jiang Qian looked pale, subconsciously looking around the silent street, and said angrily.
This place is close to the old city and is a remote area of Cangnan City. The evening self-study get out of class ended at nearly ten o'clock, and there was not even a single pedestrian on the road. It was really scary to follow Li Yifei's words.
Not only her, but even the two grown men Wang Shao and Liu Yuan were a little scared. Wang Shao glanced at the narrow path he was about to take, and suddenly felt guilty...
If Li Yifei's words only made people a little scared, then Lin Qiye's next words would directly make their scalp numb!
Lin Qiye thought for a moment and then said quietly: "Are you sure... these things were done by humans?"
"Qiye, you..." Jiang Qian's delicate body trembled!
The corners of Wang Shao and Liu Yuan's mouths twitched slightly, and their eyes suddenly looked strange when they looked at Lin Qiye.
You Lin Qiye, who has thick eyebrows and big eyes, never thought that you would be the one hiding the most
Li Yifei looked at Lin Qiye in surprise, "Do you think so too?"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Jiang Qian couldn't bear it anymore. She stretched out her hand and pinched Li Yifei's arm hard. The latter screamed in pain on the spot.
"Don't tell ghost stories in the middle of the night!! I have to go home soon!"
Li Yifei covered his arm, grinning in pain, hiding aside and muttering quietly, "This is not a ghost story..."
Wang Shao shrugged, "I'm not going to bullshit you here. I don't believe in these ghosts and monsters anyway, so I'm leaving."
Wang Shao's figure gradually disappeared into the narrow alley.
Jiang Qian glared at Li Yifei again, took a few steps forward, and suddenly stopped.
She sniffed hard and frowned slightly.
There was some doubt in his eyes,
He turned around and said, "Do you smell the stink?"
"Stink?"
"It's that smell of something rotten."
"I didn't smell it. Where are you, Liu Yuan?"
"Me neither... ugh!!"
Before Liu Yuan and Li Yifei finished speaking, their expressions suddenly changed. They fiercely covered their noses and looked around in horror.
Lin Qiye was about to say something when a disgusting stench suddenly poured into his nose. This feeling was like throwing a piece of meat that had been rotting for more than ten days into the septic tank, and mixed it with a dozen stinky smells. The egg liquid is mixed together, and just sniffing it makes the gastric juices violently churn.
This was the smelliest smell that Lin Qiye had ever smelled in all his life.
As for Jiang Qian, who had the most sensitive nose, she squatted down and vomited.
"Damn, what smells so bad?!" Li Yifei shouted, covering his nose.
"I don't know." Lin Qiye frowned slightly. After a moment, he pointed to the alley where Wang Shao left.
"But judging from the direction of the smell, it seems to be coming from there."
The next moment, a miserable scream came from not far away, echoing in the silent night sky.
