In the evening of the next day, there were only a few hours left before the mission was to begin.
Chen Hai walked into Lin Zhengying's room carrying a black suitcase, then took out a pistol from his pocket and placed it on the table.
"Master, take this with you. It can't protect you from ghosts but it can protect you from people." Chen Hai said. This time the mission was a confrontational one. Ghosts were just one of the enemies. Humans who didn't follow the rules and could do whatever they wanted would also be dangerous.
“No need.” Lin Zhengying shook his head, reached into his personal space, and pulled out a Gauss pistol that was much larger than a handgun. “I have one myself.”
After taking a look at the sci-fi gun in Lin Zhengying's hand and then at the ordinary gun in his own hand that had no special features at all, Chen Hai was silent for a second and silently put the gun on his waist. The difference was quite big.
After the preparations were completed, the two got in the car and started heading to the destination of the mission.
The abandoned unfinished building looked extremely scary under the dim sunlight, and it was obvious that it was not a normal place.
Originally, there were few people living in this area. After the world consciousness released the wave that expelled intelligent life, the popularity here disappeared completely.
"Let's go. I may not be able to keep an eye on you once you go in. Be careful and put your own safety first." Lin Zhengying put on a Taoist robe, and took out a peach wood sword and some commonly used equipment to prevent him from not having time to take them out from his personal space when a fight broke out.
Then he stuffed some talismans into Chen Hai's hands and gave him some instructions.
Chen Hai is a newcomer and a public official in this world. Lin Zhengying is actually a little afraid that if he encounters something, he will get angry and do something that will endanger his own life.
"I know." Chen Hai answered seriously.
After saying these two sentences, the two fell silent again and slowly walked towards the interior of the unfinished building. A bleak atmosphere swirled between them.
After turning the last corner, a chill came from nowhere and enveloped the two people. The terrifying atmosphere became stronger and stronger. Chen Hai turned his head slightly and looked at the corner. He felt a little numb in his heart. This ordinary corner seemed to divide the inside and outside into two completely different worlds.
We have entered the special mission area and the activity area has been restricted.
As the reminder sound of the main god space rang out, a very simple map flashed in Chen Hai and Lin Zhengying's minds. The edge of the map was a circle of red. As long as they consciously "looked" in that direction, they would receive a reminder from the main god space that it was forbidden to leave.
As we went on, the sky became darker and darker. The surroundings became eerily quiet. Suddenly, footsteps were heard.
Lin Zhengying and Chen Hai turned their heads to look over there as if in response to a stress reaction, and at this moment a black shadow flashed directly through the opening.
Chen Hai's whole body was tense, his gun was already drawn and held in his hand, with the safety on, ready to use force at any time.
"Master, is that a ghost?" Chen Hai asked a little puzzled. In his consciousness, ghosts should not make any footsteps.
"It shouldn't be." Lin Zhengying shook his head softly. He didn't sense any Yin energy from the other person, but instead could feel a similar breath
"Then it can only be someone from other camps. They came so quickly? This is a bit unexpected." Chen Hai muttered to himself, and then he tightened his grip on the gun in his hand. At the same time, he moved his left hand back a little and pressed his finger on the opening button of the black box.
"Well, be careful." Lin Zhengying didn't know what to say, so he could only repeat it again. He was feeling very bad now. After entering this place, his perception power seemed to be suppressed by something and could only exist not far from his body.
Just as the two people walked forward cautiously, eight people from the small villa on the other side of the unfinished building had already gathered here.
The standing positions of the eight people were also very interesting. Zheng Yimin and Ji Jie stood on one side, followed by a person with little presence. Zhuang Ming stood two or three meters away from Zheng Yimin with two other ordinary task members. Nie Yu and Lu Yi formed a single team. The four teams just formed a semicircle, facing the entrance.
The formation of this team started after Zheng Yiming and others shared the information. Just as Chen Hai and others guessed, there were still many ordinary people in the villa who did not have special channels. There were three such people in this mission, almost half. The person behind Zheng Yiming followed them because he received the shared information.
In addition, after receiving Zheng Yimin's sharing information, Zhuang Ming reacted quickly and sent the information he bought to the other seven people almost at the same time. With his usual image of a good guy and the prestige of a senior tasker, he was able to win over two people to participate in the mission.
Lu Yi and Nie Yu were a step slow due to some things. After receiving two similar messages, they lost their advantage and the opportunity to win people's hearts. Now they can only form their own team according to the way they showed in front of the public.
"Everyone, please be careful after you go in. I hope we can meet again in the small house with no more or less people." Zhuang Ming looked at the others and said sincerely.
"Stop talking so much. Let me tell you first, don't follow me after you go in, otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk." Lu Yi seemed to have a grudge against Zhuang Ming and was eager to break the false atmosphere he created.
"It has come to this. I hope everyone can be more united. With such a large building, there will definitely be a lot of danger. We may even need to help each other to overcome the difficulties." Zheng Yimin came out to smooth things over.
Nie Yu silently observed the other people, with his hands in his pockets, constantly stroking a blood-stained diamond ring. This was the confidence that gave him the courage to act alone.
After the polite talk, the atmosphere became quiet again. Lu Yi clearly felt the defensiveness coming from the other seven people. After curling her lips, she took the lead and walked towards the unfinished building.
As soon as she moved, the others followed suit. After all, no matter how nice the words were, the fact that the number of urns did not match the number of people was an unchangeable fact. What they needed to do now was to find the first urn as soon as possible and get in touch with it to get the subsequent conditions so that they would know how to deal with the others.
The sound of people's footsteps echoed in the empty hall, and the atmosphere became more and more weird. Zheng Yimin and Ji Jie frowned and listened carefully to the sounds around them. They both noticed something was wrong.
Suddenly Zheng Yimin stopped and stretched out his hand, as if he had discovered something.
After the team stopped, Zheng Yimin, who had been counting silently in his mind, raised his head, and then glanced at the people around him in the faint moonlight that came through the gap.
"The number of footsteps that stopped is wrong." Zheng Yimin became nervous. "Not counting the overlaps, there are a total of ten sounds that disappeared one after another!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone became nervous. The extra footsteps at this time were extremely scary. After all, it was so late, who would be wandering around in this abandoned building? Moreover, the interval between the sounds disappearing was very short, which meant that those extra people were deliberately hiding their presence.
Suddenly, Ji Jie found that the shadow on the ground was not right. From the shadow, it seemed that there was a piece of something protruding from above her. So she quickly looked up and found a black shadow on the third floor. Because of the angle, she couldn't see who that person was.
"There's someone up there!" Ji Jie reminded.
After realizing that he was discovered, the black shadow decisively swung his right hand, and the blade reflected a line in the moonlight. After cutting a rope, the huge tied-up construction waste fell rapidly.
Boom! After a loud bang, the building materials fell directly to the ground.
After avoiding the attack, several people who were dodging in all directions raised their heads and looked upward. Through the thin dust, they found that the black shadow that had appeared in the broken edge had disappeared.
Zheng Yimin and Ji Jie counted the number of people quickly. When the total number came out, they were shocked to find that there were only six people left out of the original eight. Lu Yi and Nie Yu, the two single-person teams, had disappeared without a trace.
Turning his gaze to the fallen building materials in the middle, Zheng Yimin didn't care about anything else. He pulled out a flashlight and shone it on the ground. He was looking for blood. He wanted to know if anyone was injured in the attack just now. If there was a lot of blood, then maybe the two men had been tricked.
As for the question of no screams, there are two reasons. The first is that there was no time to scream. The second is much more normal. The people who were carrying out the mission were not fools. They all knew that they should not scream if they could. After all, screaming might attract the attention of some dangerous things to themselves. Therefore, as long as the injuries were not serious, they would endure it.
There was no blood... not even a trace. After looking around carefully, Zheng Yimin looked up and found that the people around him had disappeared at some point, leaving him alone standing next to the waste material.
Suddenly he felt a chill in his heart, not knowing what had happened, and quickly turned off the flashlight. Only now did he realize that the area around him had become terribly quiet since he turned on the flashlight, and the breathing sounds of other people seemed to have disappeared. He didn't know why he didn't pay attention to it at first.
A few minutes later, Lin Zhengying and Chen Hai on the other side heard the sound of a heavy object falling, and both became nervous.
At this moment, the wall next to Lin Zhengying twisted, and a human face with only a mouth was pulled out of the wall as if trying to break free and bite Lin Zhengying.
The sword is opened!
The peach wood sword in Lin Zhengying's hand flashed with a gleam of metallic edge, and then he slashed directly at the ghost face. Because his thinking was very fast, the moment he made the move, he knew that he was going to kill him. At the same time, several images popped up in his mind, affecting his performance.
"Master!" Chen Hai was startled and pressed the switch in his hand, throwing the box towards the wall. This box was an enhanced version of the electromagnetic grenade. It was not only more powerful, but also changed from a disposable item to a reusable item.
With a bang, the box hit the wall, but I don’t know if it was because I acted too late or what, the wall had returned to normal by then.
Lin Zhengying suppressed the confusion in his mind. This was not the time to be distracted. He didn't feel like he had hit anything just now, but that ghost face didn't seem like an illusion, so the other party might have just hidden himself.
"Master! Be careful!" Chen Hai suddenly exclaimed. He saw someone on the second floor above Lin Zhengying, holding something towards Lin Zhengying, as if aiming at him.
Bang! Gunshots rang out.
Lin Zhengying moved like a ripple on water, and in a flash he reached the other side. The bullet naturally missed the target and hit the ground.
Thunder spell!
While dodging, he did not forget to counterattack. With a quick glance, Lin Zhengying cast a curse seal, and a bolt of lightning exploded from the air and struck the attacker directly.
Unfortunately, the opponent's movements were really fast, like a sniper, and he immediately fled away if he missed.
Lin Zhengying was temporarily safe and puzzled. The other party did not make any footsteps. Was he waiting for him to arrive? But how did he know that he would arrive at this location? Was the grimace also a move of the other party? Just to attract attention? And when did the people from the opposing party come in? Why did they feel much earlier than them? Could it be that the two sides entered at different times
"Master, are you okay?" Chen Hai observed the surroundings while trotting to Lin Zhengying and lowered his voice, "Master, I don't play with guns much, so I can't tell the specific model, but I can be sure that it is an industrialized product, not a homemade gunpowder gun."
"I understand. Let's take another route. Don't go through a place like this where there is no shelter above, in case there are ambushes." As Lin Zhengying spoke, the 3D picture of the unfinished building was spinning in his mind.
The main body of this building is a pentagonal structure with two long and narrow passages connected to the left and right, and the ends of the passages are two other much smaller pentagons.
They came in directly through the door from the outside of the long and narrow passage, and their current location should be at the edge of the small pentagon on the left. Also, because this building was originally intended to be a shopping mall, there is no space to hide except for the five sides of the pentagon, some small rooms, and some fire escapes. Attackers can easily attack from the other side of the building.
Finally, due to construction issues, there are only a few rooms that could have been used as shelters, as only some of the room walls are intact.
After confirming his own position, Lin Zhengying marked the location of the sound of a heavy object falling according to his memory. It should be on the other side close to the main body, but because the sound was very short and only happened once, the distance error might be quite large.
After Lin Zhengying spoke, Chen Hai carefully returned to the wall to pick up his box, then followed behind Lin Zhengying and began to change his route.
He knew that this mission would be dangerous, but he didn't expect it to be this dangerous.
It has been a while since I came in, and not only have I not seen a single urn, I have also been attacked several times.
