The location that Shi Heshang's copper bell pointed to twice was very close to me, but it was difficult for me to defend. I was already at a loss before the ghost appeared!
If I don't move now, once the ghost shows up, I will be overwhelmed if I want to rescue Lao Du or Xie Wanhua. But if I focus on one direction, the ghost will take the opportunity to attack the other side. What should I do
Just as I was struggling to make a decision, Monk Shi's bronze bell suddenly seemed to be stimulated by something. It stood up straight, and the rope end swayed violently towards the sky. The piercing bell sound almost blocked my hearing instantly.
There's something fishy going on! Just as this thought came to my mind, I heard a violent gust of wind coming down from the sky. The roof of the car suddenly collapsed several inches with a loud bang, and the glass on three sides of the car flew up in an instant. Broken glass fragments flew like snow inside and outside the car, and lines of blood dripped down around the three windows.
Monk Shi, who was standing outside the car, shouted, "Get out of the car quickly!"
I pushed the door hard and jumped out. Before I could stand firmly, the Rakshasa on my back let out a shrill cry, as if it couldn't wait to unsheathe and kill people.
Any weapon with spiritual power can warn and protect the owner when ghosts are approaching. The vibration of the Rakshasa means that ghosts are approaching. The moment I turned around with the handle of the knife in my hand, I saw a corpse with three limbs cut off on the roof of the car, and bright red blood was flowing out from the wounds of the corpse.
I just paused for a moment, and the corpse lying on the car slowly raised its head. Its eyes swept over our faces one by one like a poisonous snake surrounded by people, and finally fell on the car with a thud.
At the same time, Monk Shi's bronze bell stopped moving, and the Rakshasa behind me also regained calm.
Everything ended with the falling of the body, but the ghost appeared out of nowhere, could it be just to smash the roof with the body? What harm can this cause to us
Lao Du suddenly said in a trembling voice: "That corpse is... He Yang's wife!"
"You're not seeing things, are you?" Monk Shi poked the corpse with his stick. "Didn't she ask you for a painting during the day?"
Lao Du said affirmatively: "It must be correct. Tongtong once learned painting from her, so it can't be wrong."
Shi Heshang said in a deep voice: "He Yang's wife would not die here for no reason. Old Wu, what should we do?"
I looked up at the sky. There was an abandoned building about seven or eight stories high on the side of the road. The body must have come from the roof.
I said in a deep voice, "Since they are here, they probably won't let us off easy. Let's go upstairs. Monk, you look after Dr. Xie, Lao Du, come with me."
As Lao Du and I quickly approached the entrance of the building, Xie Wanhua suddenly shouted, "Look, the body is gone!"
I turned my head suddenly and saw that the bodies in the car had disappeared, leaving only the deformed police car and blood on the ground.
Xie Wanhua said in a trembling voice: "Wu Zhao, let's not go in. Why do I feel that..."
"We must go in. Don't worry, the monks are here to protect you." I pulled Lao Du and walked into the building and went up the stairs.
When we all walked into the building, the light in the corridor suddenly dimmed, and the whole building became pitch dark in an instant. Xie Wanhua couldn't help but screamed: "The door to the building is gone!"
I didn't need to look back to know that the door was gone.
Even if there is no light on in the corridor, some light from outside will shine in. When I entered the door just now, the street light could illuminate the stairs, but now the corridor has become pitch black, which can only mean that something is blocking the light.
"Get something to light up and walk up slowly." I turned on the flashlight from my backpack and walked up the stairs. Suddenly, a woman's sigh came from behind me: "Zhengming, why do you have to find out the truth? You shouldn't have come here, and you trusted the wrong person. The people around you can't help you."
"elder sister… "
"Wan Qiao..."
As Xie Wanhua and Lao Du exclaimed at the same time, I suddenly turned to the direction where the sound came from and opened my ghost eyes, but I only saw a blurry shadow attached to Lao Du's body.
Lao Du was unaware and shouted, "Wan Qiao, where are you?"
Xie Wanqiao answered irrelevantly, "Zhengming, go now! I brought my death upon myself. Stop looking for the truth. I'll let you go."
Lao Du said sternly, "You think you have brought this upon yourself, but what about Tong Tong? Is he the same? Come out and tell me the truth!"
Xie Wanqiao said quietly: "If you want to know the truth, come up! I'm in one of the rooms, and the truth you want is also here. But I advise you not to look for the truth..."
I rushed to Lao Du without waiting for him to finish his words and reached out to take out the phone from his pocket. Lao Du's phone was not turned on, but Xie Wanqiao's voice came from the phone: "This is the famous haunted building in Wutong Street. If you want to find me, come up! When you reach the top of the building, you will find me."
After the sound on the phone stopped abruptly, I looked at Lao Du and asked, "What does ghost building mean?"
Lao Du said, "I heard that there is an old building on Wutong Street that was built by tearing down a mass grave. At first, the people living here were fine, but then something bad happened. People often committed suicide inexplicably in this building, and some people were not discovered until more than ten days after their death. Later, the residents of the building moved out one after another, and only a few families who did not believe in superstition were left living there."
"The story of someone committing suicide in the haunted building has spread like wildfire in Sanxi. The criminal police team of the branch even came to take a look and concluded that it was indeed suicide..."
After listening to what Lao Du said, I couldn't help but turn my head and look at the dark corridor: "Our opponent should be in the haunted building."
As soon as I finished speaking, the lights in the corridor lit up from bottom to top, as if specially designed to welcome the newcomers. The dim light shone in the dilapidated old building, like a dark road leading from dusk to darkness, waiting for us to move forward, and also leading us to hell.
It was not suitable to use a long sword like Luosha in the corridor, so I simply put away the long sword and drew out the dagger: "The monk will be the last one to leave, Lao Du and Dr. Xie will walk in the middle, and follow me forward."
After I walked up the stairs step by step to the second floor, the lights behind us went out instantly. Not only did the downstairs become pitch black, but the visible light continued to weaken.
Until there was no light left on the stairs, the stairs we had just walked up suddenly became pitch black, as if someone had suddenly hung a black cloth on the stairs. Although it could not stop us from entering and exiting the stairs, we would never know what was hidden behind the black cloth, or what would suddenly rush out from the darkness.
Xie Wanhua said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Wu, can we not go back? What should we do?"
"I didn't plan to go back like this!" As soon as I finished speaking, the sound of hidden locks turning came from behind the three doors on the second floor. The rustling sound of the locks turned into a violent vibration after just a few seconds, and the door panels were banged from the inside out: "Help, help! Is there anyone outside? Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, help! Tongtong is in trouble..."
"Wan Qiao!"
The voice crying for help from inside the door was exactly that of Xie Wanqiao. Old Du instantly lost control and rushed straight to the door closest to him.
Without waiting for him to touch the door, I attacked at the same time as Monk Shi, holding down his shoulders from left and right, and pulled him back alive: "Listen for yourself where that person is!"
Three doors rang at the same time, and there were three Xie Wanqiao's voices calling for help. Lao Du grabbed my arm and shouted, "Which one is Wanqiao? Speak!"
"Let me try!" Monk Shi grabbed the iron rod with both hands, raised it above his head, and suddenly thrust it into the ground. The iron rod broke through the concrete floor and sank an inch into the ground, standing still on the ground. Monk Shi shouted angrily, "Soul-certifying bell, point to my soul!"
The soul-calming bell hung on the end of Monk Shi's stick suddenly stood up and began to rotate rapidly between the three gates like a pointer, but it swayed between the three rooms, and it was unknown which direction it was pointing to.
Monk Shi said in a deep voice: "Old Wu, come here, you are not..."
"Why should I look for that ghost? Go up!" I raised my hand to pick up the iron rod on the ground and walked straight to the stairs. Xie Wanqiao's voice came from behind the three doors at the same time: "Zhengming, I told you before that you shouldn't have come and you trusted the wrong person. Go up now, you can indeed reach the top of the building directly, but you will also miss a lot of truth. Some things, once missed, you will never find the truth."
Lao Du said in a trembling voice: "Xiao Wu, can you please not go up? I... I want to..."
I turned to look at Lao Du, who was pleading. I could see that there was a thorn in Lao Du's heart, that was whether Xie Wanqiao had betrayed him in the past. If I rushed to the roof now, even if I defeated the ghost, I was afraid that this thorn would be difficult to pull out of Lao Du's heart. Maybe Lao Du would never be able to get over this hurdle in his life.
I said in a deep voice: "Lao Du, there is more than one way to get the truth. You..."
Before I could finish my words, Xie Wanhua interrupted me: "Wu Zhao, as far as I know, warlocks should obey the arrangements of their employers. My brother-in-law..."
"Shut up!" I scolded Xie Wanhua, while Lao Du insisted: "Xiao Wu, I must know the truth, otherwise, I will be uneasy for the rest of my life. I don't know if I will still... "
I suddenly grabbed Lao Du by the collar, pulled him towards me, grabbed his wrist, twisted his arm behind his back, and forcibly pushed Lao Du up the stairs.
Lao Du was begging me just now. He might have thought that I would flatly reject his request, but he didn't expect that I would suddenly take action. He was almost caught off guard and pushed away from his original position.
Monk Shi also grabbed Xie Wanhua in an instant, and stepped onto the stairs one after the other with me. As soon as the four of us left the second floor, the doors of the three households on the second floor opened at the same time... (To be continued)
