The World Below Surface

Chapter 47

Views:

The car windows were still pitch black, and the explosion site behind them was getting farther and farther away. No one knew where the bowls they had left behind had gone, and they might have been destroyed in the explosion.

Chu Xiu was still unconscious. At this stage, no one was comfortable stopping the car to change the driver, so Lu Yanli had to operate the steering wheel with one hand and unbuckle his seat belt with the other hand, while Nie Yunzhen dragged him to the back seat.

While driving at high speed, I completed the upgrade from co-pilot to driver.

It was not until the city lights reappeared before his eyes that Lu Yanli answered Nie Yunzhen's question.

"Regarding your previous question, I think it is a mirror image."

"Mirror image?"

"Yes. Four cars collided at the same time at an intersection. Four identical cars. Do you think it's possible?"

"If it's a ghost story, then nothing is impossible." Nie Yunzhen thought for a while and replied.

Ghosts have always been able to do anything, such as reversing time and teleporting. The same is true for ghost curses, which cannot be escaped even if you flee to the ends of the earth. At present, they have no other way to eliminate ghosts except the mission rules.

"Let's just take a gamble." Lu Yanli had already sat in the driver's seat. For some reason, he didn't wear a seat belt. His face was particularly cold in the night sky. He looked at Nie Yunzhen in the rearview mirror and explained seriously.

"The car lights were very blinding just now, but I could still make out some information. The car coming from the left intersection had its reflection on the opposite side reflected on its window glass, while the car on the right had no reflection. The car coming from the front had a reflection, and while Fuchu was resting, I looked back and saw the reflection of the opposite car reflected on the rear windshield as well."

In horror stories, ghosts and spirits always hide in front of reflective objects such as mirrors. The vehicle on the left cannot be reflected by the opposite side. Does this mean that it is an illusion

The scene he observed in a flash made him decide to take a gamble. Fortunately, he won the gamble.

Nie Yunzhen thought about it carefully and felt that something was still not quite right.

"In that case, why don't you turn left?" The car on the left is the fake one, and it shouldn't be damaged by turning left.

Lu Yanli explained: "I don't know what will happen if I encounter a virtual image."

In fact, he had already made the second preparation.

He was sitting on the right passenger seat of the vehicle. When turning right, he was naturally on the outside of the road, close to the ghost car... and on the left was Chu Xiu who had fainted.

Just before turning, he was ready to jump out of the car at any time, or, if something unusual happened, to push Chu Xiu out.

In the end, the mutation did not occur, so he could keep Chu Xiu as a chess piece for the time being.

Nie Yunzhen figured it out in no time: "That's right, if the real thing hits the illusion, there might be some consequences. It's better to have a physical thing, which has a tangible form."

Invisible supernatural phenomena are always more terrifying than visible ones.

Shi Yan listened to their conversation, and when the car became quiet, she asked softly, "What about Chu Xiu? He is unconscious for some reason."

Nie Yunzhen felt a little worried when he said this: "Let's take it back first, but..." He leaned close to Shi Yan's ear and whispered something. The latter hesitated for a few seconds and nodded in agreement.

Chu Xiu, who was sitting in the last row of the back seat, had a pale face, rapid breathing, and a tightly furrowed brow, as if he was trapped in a borderline nightmare.

Chu Xiu drove forward until he saw the familiar main road and city stars in front of him, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

The temperature in the car was lowered again and again, and it was useless to turn the heater to the maximum. In the mirror, the smiling faces of the other three people looked particularly eerie under the flashing lights. Once I turned around, there was an empty seat again.

Chu Xiu still pretended not to notice and communicated with them freely. Even though the conversation between them was extremely weird, Chu Xiu still pretended not to know and tried to find a chance to leave.

What shocked him was that the car door seemed to be locked and could not be opened no matter what he did.

"Lu Yanli" sitting in the co-pilot seat had lost his patience. He still sat obediently, facing straight ahead, but his eyes slowly widened. Then, his pair of dark eyeballs with a deep expression slowly moved to the left, looking towards Chu Xiu.

In the mirror, his eyeballs were getting more and more slanted, almost falling out... No, they really fell out and rolled to the ground. One of them just happened to roll to the bottom of Chu Xiu's foot when he put down his foot.

He stepped on it without expecting it and suddenly his whole body froze.

"You... did you see that I... opened my eyes?" The man in the passenger seat grinned, revealing his white teeth, "I... am so hungry..."

The same sound came from the back seat.

"I'm... so hungry..."

Chu Xiu wanted to say something, but the next second, his gaze suddenly went up high, and then fell heavily.

He saw his own headless body in the driver's seat, blood gushing out from the broken parts. The objects around him seemed to have become bigger... No, it was his head that had shrunk, rolling to the ground. The next second, a familiar pair of shoes stepped on him.

It turned out that what he stepped on just now was not the eyeball, but his own shrinking head.

"Wake up, Brother Chu." Chu Xiu realized in a daze that someone was trying to wake him up.

Chu Xiu opened his eyes and saw Shi Yan's worried face. When she saw him wake up, the worry on her face suddenly turned into joy: "You finally woke up."

Chu Xiu sat up and looked around, and found that he was still in the car. The driver had been replaced by Lu Yanli, and Nie Yunzhen, Shi Yan and himself were in the back seat, all with worried looks on their faces.

His memory was still stuck in the illusion just now. He touched his neck to make sure it was still there. He thanked Lu Yanli in the front row and asked Nie Yunzhen urgently, "What happened to me just now?"

Nie Yunzhen said, "You suddenly stopped moving just now, and fell to one side with your eyes open. Fortunately, Lu Yanli was sitting next to you so you didn't get into an accident."

Chu Xiu looked down at the time. Almost an hour had passed since they left the intersection.

Could it be that after death, one came out of that illusion

Is it that simple

"Did anything else happen just now?"

"Yes, it has been resolved." Nie Yunzhen told him what happened at the intersection. Chu Xiu played it over in his mind and felt that something was wrong.

He knew that the shadow on the left was the phantom, but he still turned right. Was he really afraid of encountering even weirder things after hitting the shadow, as he said

He compared his position with Lu Yanli's and instantly understood the truth. He gritted his teeth, but still said nothing and just said thank you.

I'm not dead, so why should I still care about this matter

Lu Yanli drove along without even turning his head, and ignored Chu Xiu's thanks. The street was now empty, and even the lights were dimmed.

"Speaking of which, we were really lucky this time. Although we encountered some problems, we managed to escape successfully." Nie Yunzhen sighed, "I hope the missions in the next few days will be like today."

Shi Yan said: "It's a pity that Xiao Ye..."

"The dead cannot be resurrected, so just let it go." Nie Yunzhen comforted her, "No one can guarantee that they will live forever."

"That's true."

Chu Xiu looked out the window at the unfamiliar street, a little confused: "Did you change hotels?"

Nie Yunzhen: "Yes, I received news during the time you were unconscious that a murder occurred in the hotel we stayed in before, so we had to change to another one."

"Which one did you change to?"

Nie Yunzhen opened the phone screen to show him: "This place may be a little far."

It is indeed very far away, in the city center, and it is still a drive away from Yinming Road far away in the suburbs.

"By the way, Brother Chu, what should we do tomorrow?" Nie Yunzhen scratched his hair in annoyance.

At this time, Lu Yanli, who was sitting in the front driver's seat, asked, "What do you want to do now?"

Chu Xiu: "Would you like to play hide and seek tomorrow night? The location is Yinming Road."

Lu Yanli sneered: "You really want to die."

Nie Yunzhen couldn't help but say, "It's not that we have to..." Before she could finish, Shi Yan gave her a look to stop her.

If it weren't for the mission requirements, they would naturally not go to die. If they didn't do the mission, they would definitely die, but if they did it, they would still have a chance of survival. But Lu Yanli was not a mission executor like them, so there was no need to tell him.

Nie Yunzhen came back to his senses, with a look of regret for accidentally revealing the secret.

Chatting along the way, they decided on a hotel and arrived.

Lu Yanli stopped the car and said, "I have done my best for you. Please don't bother me anymore."

Chu Xiu nodded: "Okay."

I don't know if it's a psychological effect, but the hotel in front of me looks a bit gloomy even though it's brightly lit. After getting off the car, several people watched Lu Yanli leave the parking lot and turned to walk towards the hotel gate.

The next second, something unexpected happened. When the three of them passed behind a row of cars, one of the cars suddenly moved backwards and hit Shi Yan, who was walking at the end. She didn't even have time to scream before she was knocked out and landed behind a row of cars on the opposite side with a loud noise. She fell to the ground and rolled several times until she touched Chu Xiu's leg and was stopped.

Her eyes were still wide open and a large pool of blood was flowing from under her, soaking her entire body.

In the parking lot, police sirens sounded one after another. Before Nie Yunzhen had time to feel sad, as soon as she heard the sirens and footsteps in the distance and the security guard questioning her, she immediately dragged Chu Xiu away.

"Go! It will be troublesome if they call the police."

Although it had nothing to do with them, they knew at a glance that it was the work of a ghost. Otherwise, how could a parked car suddenly reverse and hit someone? But could they tell these policemen

If they were really taken away for interrogation, and they were unable to go to Yinming Road at midnight tonight, that would be a real dead end!

Chu Xiu also figured out this truth, and the two of them quickly took a detour to leave.

Anyway, the hotel security has come and they sent him to the hospital.

If Shi Yan didn't survive...

Chu Xiu shook his head and continued running forward.

The parking lot was in chaos, with alarms blaring everywhere, as if someone was smashing cars for fun. To make matters worse, when they were about to leave the parking lot, some unmanned vehicles slowly started up and rammed into the two of them.

"Oops! Be careful!"

Chu Xiu and Nie Yunzhen immediately ran away, one on the left and one on the right. The two cars that hit them from the front and back collided violently with each other, and parts were scattered all over the ground.

Why? Did they trigger some death mechanism

"Who's in the parking lot? Don't run!" The security guard's roar came even louder from a distance. He must have been in a state of panic, and he called a lot of people over, and the footsteps became more frequent.

Chu Xiu and Nie Yunzhen wanted to run, but they could only dodge left and right in a small area, constantly avoiding the speeding cars. They couldn't run at all. Dodging all the way made them go deeper into the parking lot. Not long after, the two were separated again because of a car rushing straight at them, and soon they lost sight of each other.

There was another small car speeding towards him. Chu Xiu gritted his teeth and kicked the other car hard at the moment it hit him, using the force to jump onto the roof of the car. The small car crashed straight into the rear of the other car, denting the front of the car, and then there was no movement.

After Chu Xiu confirmed again that there was no fire or explosion, he reluctantly put his mind at ease and stood in the car to look around.

In the parking lot, other vehicles were still bumping around like crazy, and now their target was the men in security uniforms. He looked for a long time but couldn't find Nie Yunzhen.

Strange, where is Nie Yunzhen

As soon as this thought came to mind, there was another "bang" behind him, and the sound of breaking through the air was heard.

A huge object hit him hard from behind. Chu Xiu had no time to dodge and was knocked away. He fell to the ground and rolled several times. He was dizzy and finally saw clearly what hit him.

It was a bloody corpse, with eyes wide open, clearly someone who had died unwillingly, and that face...

It’s Nie Yunzhen.

Chu Xiu calmed down at this moment. He endured the pain in his body and tried to get up.

How is it possible? They had survived so many dangerous missions before, and now they were just dodging a few cars.

Without even looking at the body on the ground, he wiped the blood that was flowing from the wound on his forehead to the corner of his eye, and looked around vigilantly to make sure there was no other out-of-control vehicle running out.

Behind Chu Xiu, a pale hand stretched out from under the car and dragged Nie Yunzhen's body back.

Compared to the chaos just now, the parking lot was much quieter now. Many of the cars that had collided with each other were on fire and about to explode. Chu Xiu endured the pain and continued to walk forward, dodging as he walked. Suddenly, another headless body fell from above and landed directly in front of him.

Why exactly

Is it really because of the bowl of dead person's meal at the crossroads that all those ghosts came after him

Chu Xiu stared at the corpse lying on the ground. The clothes on the corpse looked familiar. If he was not mistaken, it should be Shi Yan.

The body is still there, but... where is the head

There was only one road ahead, so he had to try to avoid the corpse and pass by from the side. Just as he was about to leave, the headless corpse suddenly reached out and grabbed his ankle. Chu Xiu immediately pulled his ankle out and ran forward without looking back. This time he left quite smoothly. He finally ran to the intersection, and a car stopped in front of him. The front window rolled down, and it was Lu Yanli.

“Get in the car!”

Without Lu Yanli's urging, Chu Xiu immediately opened the car door and got in, saying sincerely, "Thank you." At this moment, he suddenly felt a little nauseous, and something was churning in his stomach.

No, isn't it

Is it because of that bowl of rice

Lu Yanli, who was sitting in the driver's seat, also frowned tightly at this time, as if he was trying hard to suppress his discomfort. He noticed that Chu Xiu's face was not good, and asked, "Do you also feel something is wrong?"

Chu Xiu nodded, and finally couldn't hold it in any longer. He rolled down the window as fast as he could in his life, stuck his head out, and vomited.

What stunned him was that what came out of his mouth was not vomit, but an endless stream of black beetles, which fell to the ground in a rustling manner and crawled forward.

Chu Xiu knew this insect, its back shell was shiny black with red patterns, and it was half the length of a finger. It was called a hammer beetle. Because it liked to eat human or animal corpses, it also had another well-known name - corpse worm.

Thinking that this thing was actually in his body, Chu Xiu felt nauseous and vomited even harder. After he finally finished vomiting and made sure that there was not a single one left, he immediately closed the window to prevent the corpse worms from crawling into the car.

It was not until now that he had time to turn around and look at Lu Yanli.

"You, how are you?" After tossing and turning for so long, Chu Xiu's face was as pale as gold paper. Maybe it was because of what happened just now, he always felt uncomfortable in his stomach.

Lu Yanli's face was equally pale. He covered his mouth and dry-heaved a few times. He was a little unsteady holding the steering wheel with one hand. After Chu Xiu took over, Lu Yanli leaned back heavily in his seat, breathing heavily.

Seeing him bending down, Chu Xiu became anxious: "Don't! It might be a corpse worm. Open the window and spit it out."

Lu Yanli waved his hand: "No, it's not a corpse worm."

He grinned, and something white came out of his mouth. He reached out and pulled out a piece, only to see that it was a long white bone.

"Not just one, there are more." As he spoke, he spit bones into the bowl one by one, piling them all at the feet next to the seat. Soon, the pile of white bones was so high that it was level with the seat.

Chu Xiu's hands felt a little cold as he held the steering wheel.

This Lu Yanli... is also a fake.

He wanted to step on the brakes, but the ground under the car was covered with bones, and "Lu Yanli" in the driver's seat was still spitting bones out. He reached out to open the door, but the door was closed tightly and could not be opened.

The bones on the ground began to move...

"What should I do? It's almost afternoon and Brother Chu hasn't woken up yet."

In the hotel, Shi Yan and Nie Yun were extremely anxious.

Chu Xiu didn't wake up, and neither of them could guarantee that they would survive.

Lu Yanli was smart enough. After sending the three of them to the hotel, he left immediately alone, not knowing what to do. Nie Yunzhen's hand was injured, and he couldn't guarantee that he could keep him.

Moreover, Chu Xiu was in a bad state, sweating profusely, and a large wound appeared on his forehead for no apparent reason. It was obvious that he was in some dangerous situation.

"There's nothing I can do." Nie Yunzhen took a few deep breaths and scratched his hair in frustration. "If he doesn't wake up by eight o'clock in the evening, I'll just pick up a few random passersby in the hotel."

The drive from here to Yinming Road takes at least two hours. If we delay any longer waiting for him, all three of us will die!

"Then what should he do?" Shi Yan asked.

Nie Yunzhen frowned even more.

"How about this, we pull him over and hide him in advance, and then start playing hide-and-seek, how about that?" Shi Yan suggested.

"It's easy for you to say that. Hide and seek, who knows what will happen if you get caught? What if the ghost can't catch him? What if someone else finds him after hiding him? Besides, who will hide? Me or you?"

Needless to say, although Shi Yan had trained herself to be strong for the mission, she couldn't walk too far carrying a man. Only Nie Yunzhen could do this job.

"Besides, I'm going to hide the people, are you responsible for suppressing the people we capture? If you don't keep an eye on them and they find out, Chu Xiu will definitely be the first one to be caught."

Shi Yan said: "I'll take care of it. Give me a gun and I'll see who dares to peek."

Nie Yunzhen closed her eyes.

"Actually... that's not the reason." He looked at Chu Xiu, who was unconscious but with a pale and twisted face, and said slowly, "I'll just say it directly. When the time comes, we will draw lots to be ghosts. If the two of us draw the lot, are you sure you don't want to catch him?"

Ask yourself, if he had drawn the ghost lot, he would not have let go of this opportunity if he couldn't find anyone else.

At this critical moment of life and death, no matter how much Chu Xiu has helped them, he cannot let them risk their lives.

Shi Yan pursed her lips and said, "That's it. If he still doesn't wake up at night, it's just his bad luck. You can't blame us."

Nie Yunzhen knew that Shi Yan had always been very protective of the team members, whether it was Ye Shengke before or Chu Xiu now, as long as they were partners in cooperation, she would try her best to protect them. This was also the reason why Nie Yunzhen disagreed, and since Shi Yan had said so, if he hid Chu Xiu, it would be equivalent to knowing a player's fixed hiding place, which would be beneficial to him. Nie Yunzhen agreed without much hesitation.

The two left the room.

As soon as the door was closed, something changed in the person on the bed.

Beetles with shiny black shells and red patterns crawled out of Chu Xiu's mouth. There were so many of them that they kept crawling all over the bed. Soon, they crawled off the floor and crawled in all directions.

Their bodies are not big, only two or three centimeters long and slightly flat, so they can easily crawl out of the door crack. Some corpse worms crawled into the bathroom and drilled in through the sewer.

Hotel, other room.

"Mom, I want to drink water." The little boy said while playing with his mobile phone.

"Okay, I'll boil some now." After saying that, the woman picked up the kettle next to the TV and prepared to go to the bathroom to get some water to boil. But when she turned on the faucet, she screamed in fright and threw the kettle aside.

What came out of the tap was not water, but a steady stream of tiny black beetles.

"Mom, what's wrong?" The little boy asked in confusion. The next second, he was frightened and screamed, "Ah - Mom, what is that?"

"It's dirty! Come on, let's go first!"

"Don't you want the clothes and bags anymore?"

The woman also wanted to clean up her things, but when she looked back, she saw that the whole bathroom was full of black bugs. They moved so fast that in a short while even the bed was covered with them, which made her scalp tingle.

"Don't want it, don't want it, just consider it lost. Baby, let's go!" The woman hurriedly picked up the little boy and opened the door.

What stunned her was that the door of the room opposite opened wide, and swarms of black bugs poured out in what could be described as a torrent, and the entire corridor was covered with a black flowing carpet.

The next second, they were both swallowed up by the corpse worms. With nowhere to go, the corpse worms immediately occupied their room.

"Oh no! There's something wrong with this hotel too!" Shi Yan hurriedly found Nie Yunzhen, "We have to leave now! I'll pack my things, and you go carry Chu Xiu, quick!"

They were already used to quickly moving positions when carrying out missions, so Nie Yunzhen did not refuse and immediately went to find Chu Xiu.

Strangely, he did not encounter a swarm of insects and successfully arrived at Chu Xiu's door. When he opened the door, Chu Xiu was lying on the bed. He carried him on his back and rushed straight to the door.

"Hurry up, let's go! The elevator is out of service, let's take the stairs." Shi Yan had already packed her things and was standing outside the door waiting for him. The three of them ran down the stairs, and only then did Nie Yunzhen realize what Shi Yan meant by "there was a problem with the hotel."

So many corpse worms... where did they come from

The corridor was almost covered with these corpse worms. Their back shells were dark and shiny, making the corridor dark and shiny. They could not avoid them at all. They could only move forward on the backs of the corpse worms. Every step they took made a beeping sound as the beetles broke apart, splashing a lot of disgusting thick liquid. At the same time, they had to avoid the corpse worms crawling on them. They had to shake their legs every few steps to drive the worms off their bodies.

Nie Yunzhen used both hands to carry people, while Shi Yan carried the luggage in one hand and took out her coat from the bag with the other hand, and kept slapping the zombies that crawled onto Nie Yunzhen and herself. After finally running to the lobby on the first floor, they pushed open the door and rushed out directly.

Only now did they breathe a sigh of relief.

"It's so scary. I don't know where these bugs came from." Nie Yunzhen panted heavily. He ran up the stairs desperately while carrying a big man on his back, which was very physically demanding.

Shi Yan was not in a much better condition. She looked at the soles of her shoes with disgust and frowned, "That's right, it's disgusting." Thinking of what happened just now, she felt a little nauseous.

"Wait, wait... look." Nie Yunzhen stood opposite her, his mouth wide open in shock.

"What's wrong?" Shi Yan turned back in confusion, her expression frozen on her face.

I don’t know which window they came out of, but an endless stream of small black bugs gradually climbed up to the upper floors of the building.

Little by little, the entire building was covered with black corpse worms.

"Let's go." Nie Yunzhen gently bumped Shi Yan's shoulder, and the latter reacted, "Ah? Okay, let's go."

The car they drove was still in the parking lot, with a large scratch on the left side and a broken rearview mirror. Now was not the time to be picky, and there was no time to repair the car, so they put Chu Xiu in the back seat and let Shi Yan drive to the city.

"What do you think about us finding a few students? They can be from high school or college."

"student?"

"Yes, don't many students like to play this kind of exciting and adventurous game?"

"But, but..."

According to the feedback from the executors on the website, they usually do not look for students to do the tasks. Their targets are all residents of this world who look smarter, mostly young and middle-aged people. Perhaps this is the only expression of their conscience.

Shi Yan, who had started over again, didn't know that they had chosen Wen Qing and Yun Qian at the beginning of the previous week. Of course, the consequence was that they paid a heavy price. This was also the reason why Shi Yan felt a little resistant, but she didn't understand.

"Don't say but, who else can we find now?" Nie Yunzhen shook his injured hand. When he removed the bandage and changed the dressing, the wound was still black. "Besides, the mission does not have a specified number of people. The more we find, the better."

We have to find someone anyway, and it is easier to trick them into coming than to threaten them with a gun.

The disadvantage is that people who are deceived by the name of the game will die faster because they lack vigilance. That's why Chu Xiu would rather use a gun to force the participants to stay alert and try to save themselves.

"Okay, I'll post a message now to call for action."

After all, Shi Yan wasn't that great. She lowered her head and quickly found a local high school that wasn't too far from Yinming Road.

"Hey, did you guys hear? Tian Le from the next class said he's taking a day off tonight."

"I just want to take a leave, what's the matter?"

"No, guess what he's taking leave for?"

"Are you going on a date?"

"No, you are totally wrong." The girl who started the conversation lowered her voice, "He has made an appointment with someone to go to the Yinming Road tonight to explore and play hide-and-seek. How about it? Is it exciting?"

"Hiss... You're so brave. Anyway, I don't dare to go."

"That's not right. Didn't they say that three cars collided on Yinming Road last night? I heard that someone died. The traffic police should be in charge of it now, right?"

"It's managed during the day, but there must be no one there at night, right?"

"It's too scary. I don't dare to go."

"Where did he get the news? Who did he go on the expedition with?"

"I heard she's from out of town. She's curious about the haunted legends and wants to go to the Yinming Road to see for herself." The girl who initially passed the message lowered her voice, "Tian Le went for a reason. Someone on the post said she's timid so she doesn't dare to go. Go with her to play. It'll cost one thousand per person and we'll be back in two hours."

Tian Le's family was not well-off, and it was hard for him not to be tempted by the one thousand yuan for two hours and the fact that he was not doing anything illegal.

The message spread quickly, and soon the content of the post was spread to almost the entire grade. According to the poster, there was no limit on the number of people, and the more people who went, the better. As long as you accompanied them to play, everyone would get 1,000 yuan.

This city is not particularly developed, and like Tianle, many high school students who claim to be brave are tempted.

"Hey, Qingqing, have you heard?"

When Wen Qing and Yun Qian came back from the bathroom, they heard what everyone was discussing. Several girls pulled them over to join the discussion group.

"What did you hear?" Wen Qing was curious.

"That's right, someone is planning to explore the Yinming Road."

"What?!" Wen Qing's face turned pale, "You can't go there!"

She wanted to say something else when the bell rang and the teacher walked in. Wen Qing had to go back to her seat, take out her book and stand up to read.

‌Her mind was not on the books at all.

The Dark Road... Why did they explore there

You can't go there!

Wen Qing was absent-minded throughout the whole class. She couldn't answer the question when the teacher asked her to. She looked really bad. The teacher thought she was not feeling well, so she didn't make things difficult for her and let her have a good rest.

After class, the teacher returned to the office with his things. Wen Qing immediately rushed to the girl he had just chatted with and asked, "What do you mean by going to Yinming Road?"

"Ah? Don't you know?" The girl who delivered the message excitedly pulled her to sit down and told her the whole story.

After hearing what she said, Wen Qing's lips turned pale: "We just had a car accident last night. They must know about it. How can they be so desperate?"

"Isn't it said that the cause of the car accident was due to high beam and brake failure? But it is indeed strange, three cars collided at the intersection. Anyway, don't tell anyone, Tian Le wants to make some extra money."

Wen Qing shook his head: "No, you don't know, this money can't be earned, and there is no place to go!"

A gleam of determination flashed in her eyes: "Besides Tian Le, who else said they want to go?"

"Um... Tian Le, Fang Nan, Ling Weiwei..." The girl counted on her fingers and named seven or eight names in one breath. The more Wen Qing listened, the more panicked she became. When she finished speaking, she nodded and ran out of the classroom.

Yun Qian didn't go out with her. She looked around and quietly approached the girl: "Um...you said you have a thousand yuan, is that true?"

Wen Qing came to the next class and asked for Tian Le by name, which immediately caused a small crowd to make a fuss. Wen Qing was more or less a beauty. High school students always talked about some gossips after their hard study life. Wen Qing was the beautiful girl they often talked about.

Tian Le walked out the door, still a little nervous. He liked Wen Qingxue very much. He couldn't say that he had deep feelings for her, but a little bit of youthful admiration was enough to make him feel reserved in front of the girl he liked.

"Are you going to Yinming Road at night?" Wen Qing asked directly, "Believe me, you can't go to that place. It's very dangerous."

Tian Le didn't want to go either, because he wanted the money. Being poor seemed so embarrassing in front of the girl he loved. He turned his head away and said, "I'll just take a look there and come back. It's none of your business, so leave it alone."

"You!" Wen Qing stamped his feet in anger, "Do you know that someone just died there? You still go there to play, you really don't care about your life."

"It's okay, believe in science. Besides, we'll be back after playing for a while, nothing will happen." Tian Le couldn't help regretting it as soon as he said this. He was trying to make amends in a weird way.

"It will be too late for you to regret if something really happens!" Wen Qing was very anxious. He thought that he couldn't convince anyone with just a few words, so he simply turned around and left, planning to tell the head teacher.

City Police Department.

Several policemen had solemn expressions on their faces. Each of them held a stack of photos and information in their hands. If the contents were made public, it would be major news that would shock the entire country.

"These... are they really something that humans can do?" The younger policeman sitting at the bottom exhaled slowly, cold sweat breaking out on his forehead.

No one answered his question. In the conference room, everyone was thinking about this question and avoided looking for an answer.

"This is a serious matter. Everyone remember that all information related to the case at the intersection of Yinming Road must be kept confidential. From today on, Yinming Road will be blocked and no outsiders are allowed to enter." Seeing that they had finished reading, the woman at the top said seriously.

She was no longer young, but her facial features were still beautiful, but there was a strong sense of majesty between her eyebrows, which made her look more distant at first glance rather than admiring her beauty.

"Understood." Others in the meeting room responded in the same serious manner.

They all knew that they might have stepped into some mysterious realm.

"Next, let's discuss our ideas and see if there are any solutions. If you have any questions, you can raise them now."

As soon as he finished speaking, one of them raised his hand.

He is an absolute believer in science, and asked, "I'm wondering, is it possible that the murderer disassembled the victim's skeleton and reassembled it? Otherwise, it is difficult to explain why several of the dozens of skeletons showed that they were from the same person."

"It's not like the company's medical examiner hasn't thought about this question. He has tested all the skulls and confirmed that some of them have exactly the same test results."

Now, they were even more incredible.

How is it possible...

Is it possible for one person to have two heads

"What is the bowl found at the scene? There is also a bowl of rotten rice and incense ash in it. Does this have any meaning?"

At this moment, there was a hurried knock on the door of the conference room. After obtaining permission, a young policeman hurried in and whispered something to the female police officer at the top of the room.

"What?" The female police officer's eyes widened suddenly.

"Today's meeting ends here. No information is allowed to be taken out of the meeting room. Xiao Liu, remember to put it away." After saying that, the female police officer immediately followed the young policeman out the door, leaving everyone in the meeting room looking at each other in bewilderment.

Recently... there are more and more strange events, and each one challenges their materialism.

"How should I put it? Maybe there really are ghosts in this world?"

"Believe in science, and stop talking nonsense here."

"I know, but there is one thing I still have to believe. The end of science is metaphysics."

"I agree. I used to believe in science. Some things in the world are just so bizarre. Otherwise, how do you explain the blood in the fuel tanks of those off-road vehicles?"

"Yes, and those identical skulls. Can one person have several heads?"

"I was just about to say this, mixing rice with incense ash and eating it at a crossroads is a way to attract ghosts. I wonder if they are too brave and really attracted something..."

"Alright, alright, the dead are the greatest, so stop talking."

"By the way, what news did Sister Zhao hear just now? She's so anxious."

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, but no one knows.

The woman called Miss Zhao hurriedly followed the young policeman to the back. When she got downstairs, she lowered her voice and asked, "What happened? All the bodies disappeared?"
