Chapter 113: Pile of Corpses
"This prosperous hotel is the premier hotel in the capital, from morning to night 24 hours, there are guests coming and going, 13 big people are gone, but it is really strange. I checked all the surveillance probes in the hotel, but I didn't find any clues. ”
Qiu Dingxiong shook his head and said with a frown.
"Originally, Ma Chaoxing didn't need you to come over, but I was really sick and rushed to the doctor here, and I gave a death order from above, and I must solve the case within a time limit, otherwise the foreign world will send police officers to investigate, and it will lose face in our human world......"
"It's amazing that you solved the matter of Wang Yongjin and Zhao Risheng last time, as a master, can you give me ideas and think of a way?" Qiu Dingxiong estimated that he really had no choice, and he only had to ask God for divination, so he begged Wang Yao.
Wang Yao listened to Qiu Dingxiong's introduction, and he was also curious, he had just risen to the late stage of qi refining, and he had mastered a large number of immortal arts, and he was a little eager to try it, so he nodded with a smile at the moment.
"Can I take a look at this hotel?" asked Wang Yao.
"Just look at it! Do you need to be accompanied by someone?" Qiu Dingxiong saw that Wang Yao agreed, and was in a good mood, and hurriedly asked.
"No, I'll just walk around, and Master Shuo will follow me. Wang Yao shook his head, he didn't have a idea in his head, he just wanted to wander around the hotel.
And Ma Gu is working as a security guard in this hotel, he should know some insiders, and he plans to ask him, with a patrol by his side, it is not too convenient to act.
"That's fine......" Qiu Dingxiong was slightly stunned, and then took out a card from under the drawings on the table and handed it to Wang Yao. "Which room needs to be opened, just take this sign and find a nearby catcher. Also, this is the building map and distribution map of the hotel, do you want to take a look at it first?"
"I don't need that. Wang Yao smiled, took the card, and greeted Hao Shuo to leave the conference room on the 11th floor.
Qiu Dingxiong thought that he would go to the room where the foreigners lived, but Wang Yao didn't have that idea, and when the people were gone, what else would be inside? Wang Yao believed that the two gangs of Huadu and Zhidu had been busy here for seven or eight days, and they should have checked everything that should have been checked, and it is probably not a lie to say that there is no trace.
If you want people to disappear silently, there is only one way for Wang Yao to think of it, and that is what he saw when he exterminated the beast, the space was transferred, and the person left as soon as he brushed the small brush. This thing is not his strong point, and if he asks Yang Gu to come over, he may be able to see some clues, so he doesn't have to do it.
He went out and went downstairs, asked the location of the security room of the main desk in the lobby, and then took the obscurity to find it, the security room is behind the first floor, not far from the hotel warehouse, and there are a lot of toiletries at the door, which are estimated to have just been purchased, shampoo, body lotion and the like.
Wang Yao was just about to walk forward, but saw Ma Gu just come out of the door.
"I figured you'd have to come to me. Ma Gu said in a low voice. "Let's go out and talk. ”
Ma Gu led Wang Yao and Hao Shuo out of the hotel and stopped in a secluded alley next to the hotel.
"This matter has something to do with the underworld, you don't care about it, it's not a good thing. Ma Gu said to Wang Yao with a serious expression.
"The underworld, what are you doing in the underworld, how do you get a dozen foreigners in?" Wang Yao was a little stunned.
"I don't know why, I just feel bad, the underworld should be the hand that moves when I'm not there, I'm here as a security guard, just to guard against the underworld. Ma Gu said. "You think, what a coincidence this must be, it just so happened that a foreigner tour group came over, and I just happened to go to Huadu. ”
"This hotel should often have foreigners staying in it, right?" Wang Yao was a little puzzled.
"Yes, this is the best foreign-related hotel in Zhidu, the key is not this, the key is this ......" Ma Gu spoke, took out a piece of red paper from his pocket, and raised it at Wang Yao.
"This ...... What is it?" asked Wang Yao.
"Exorcism. Ma Gu said to Wang Yao, "Every time I leave the hotel, I will set up a ghost exorcism charm in the underworld passage to prevent the ghosts of the underworld from running around, and I will run to the hotel without paying attention, but you see, this ghost exorcism charm has been broken, and there is nothing on it." ”
"This ...... This hotel is connected to the underworld, isn't it in the Civilization Mansion to go to the underworld?" Wang Yao asked in amazement.
"Where is the only passage in the underworld?" Ma Gu shook his head repeatedly. "The underworld is the interface that is most closely integrated with the human world, and the passages can be said to be everywhere, but many places are like this......" Ma Gu pinched his two fingers together and gestured to Wang Yao.
"It's sticky, but it's not connected, and it can only be opened with special skills, but there are still many passages for ghosts from the underworld to enter the human world, and there is a particularly large one under the foundation of this hotel, so I've been sitting here. ”
"Are you saying that a ghost broke your exorcism talisman and captured a foreigner to go to the underworld?" asked Wang Yao with a frown.
"Eighty percent is like this, the time is also very accurate, according to the normal schedule, I rested on the 8th, and had to take over at 8 am on the 9th. They chose to act on the night of the 8th. And my exorcism talisman has been blessed by the heavenly court, where can ordinary little ghosts break it?" Ma Gu said.
"According to what you say, the one who broke your exorcism talisman is still a power of the underworld?" Wang Yao was stunned.
"But no, and you think, this power must have entered the human world from somewhere else, and it came around and broke the exorcism talisman and got so many foreigners, you said that the underworld will play small this time? Ma Gu said.
"What does the office say?" asked Wang Yao.
"Of course, the office is to report to the Emperor of Heaven, and the Emperor of Heaven will instruct the Underworld Office to investigate, anyway, you must not worry about this, this matter, we little immortals can't afford to provoke. Ma Gu said.
Wang Yao listened to what Ma Gu said seriously, and he couldn't help but feel relieved in his heart, secretly thinking that anyway, this matter was brought forward by Heavenly Court, and it would be nosy for him to mix it up again, so he said goodbye to Ma Gu at the moment, and was ready to simply turn around and go to Ziqiang County.
Ma Gu didn't go home for seven or eight days, and he was anxious to go back to have a look, hurriedly finished talking to Wang Yao, turned around and left, Wang Yao went around the hotel a few times, and was curious, this hotel is actually located on the passage of the underworld?
He turned on the immortal "induction", and went down the foundation of the hotel, and sure enough, he didn't go far, and he felt a chill soaked up, this chill was like someone quietly touching your back, there was an indescribable palpitation and horror.
Wang Yao has never felt this way since he became an immortal, he seems to have returned to his childhood, when he went to the kitchen or bathroom without the lights on, he always felt that there was something terrible hidden there in the dark, as if he was spying on him.
He was an unbeliever, so he stopped his "induction" for a while, settled his mind, and prepared to continue to extend the "induction" downward.
Coincidentally, at this time, a cold split head covered his face sprinkled, Wang Yao was startled, and hurriedly raised his head to look around, but it turned out that the spray on the nearby wall was suddenly sprinkled, and Wang Yao and Hao Shuo were drenched all over their faces.
He hurriedly pulled Hao Shuo to the side, wiped a handful of water stains on his face with his sleeve, and involuntarily shivered a few times, and the immortal "induction" also ended inexplicably unconsciously.
Wang Yao was in no mood to check any further, so he shook the water on his hair and wanted to take out the phone to say hello to Qiu Dingxiong, we can't do this, you can ask Gao Ming.
"Daddy, this place is not good. Haoshuo, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, he was a bald head, and after simply wiping two handfuls, his head was refreshed, but his expression became a little stiff.
"yes, where can a ghost haunt be good?"
Wang Yao replied, didn't pay attention to the change in Xuan Shuo's expression, and took out his mobile phone, but unexpectedly the sound of a wooden fish sounded in his ears, Wang Yao was stunned, turned his head to look, and saw that Xuan Shuo was knocking on the wooden fish in his hand, and the wooden fish actually emitted a circle of golden light.
He was horrified to find that under the golden light, there were miserable white corpses under the ground around him, these corpses were men, women and children, all dressed in a variety of ways, some in ancient costumes and some in modern costumes, but without exception, there were extremely painful looks on their faces.
Some of them curled up their limbs, as if they had died of spasms, and some of them stretched out their hands weakly, as if they had been killed in wailing.
The corpses gradually rose from Wang Yao's feet, stacked on top of each other to the corners of the hotel, and the part of the hotel that was illuminated by the golden light was actually surrounded by corpses from under his feet, as if it was built on top of the boundless corpse pile.
He could still see with the naked eye that there were wisps of pale blue smoke wafting from the corpse pile, and the blue smoke became darker and darker the lower it went, showing a dark blue color below two or three layers, and then it was so blue that it was already blackened, like soot, shrouding the corpse pile looming.
"Obscure!" Wang Yao hurriedly shouted, but Xuanshuo seemed to be settled, deaf to Wang Yao's cries, just knocking on the wooden fish there, his mouth kept opening and closing, as if he was chanting.
Wang Yao shouted twice, but when he saw that he ignored him, two girls came from the alley, passed by them, and couldn't help but shiver while dodging the spray.
"Oh, it's so cold!" a girl screamed softly, and the two of them looked at Wang Yao and Hao Shuo with strange eyes, and walked down the street unconsciously on the corpses on the ground.
Wang Yao turned his gaze from the girl back to Haoshuo, and was shocked to find that Haoshuo had sat cross-legged on the ground despite the dampness and mud.
In the rapid sound of the wooden fish, his humming chanting became louder and louder, and the corpses shining with golden light seemed to melt, slowly disappearing little by little.
Wang Yao blinked vigorously, secretly thinking that this was not an illusion, nine times out of ten it was a trick made up by the wooden fish, how could so many corpses run out in such a dignified manner?
When he came to Shuo's side, he wanted to pat him on the shoulder and ask him what he was doing? If he deliberately cast a spell to scare himself, how could he save some effort, he was an immortal, and he could be frightened by a few corpses?
Unexpectedly, he hadn't stretched out his hand yet, but he saw that inside the pile of corpses at the foot of the hotel, as if swimming out of the blue smoke, a yellow-haired humanoid monster appeared like a swimming fish.
As soon as the monster appeared, it went straight to the obscure, a pair of hands that looked like humans stretched forward with ten fingers, and the fingertips seemed to have a cold light flickering.
"Not good!" Wang Yao didn't think about it, and hurriedly covered Hao Shuo with a "glass".
Immediately after that, he jumped forward, carrying the obscure back of the neck collar and retreated sharply, the transparent yellow-haired monster followed like a shadow, chasing after him, Wang Yao's "royal gold" shot, who knew that the little golden sword came and went on the transparent body of the yellow-haired monster, but it had no effect.
The ground under Wang Yao's feet moved rapidly like a conveyor belt, taking Wang Yao and Hao Shuo to withdraw from the boss in two instants, away from the corpses on the ground.
The yellow-haired monster's ten fingers with cold light had been handed to Hao Shuo's chest, and they could avoid it, Wang Yao only saw that the cold light was actually from the half-inch nails on the yellow-haired monster's fingers, and he couldn't help but get goosebumps.
"Daddy, what are you doing?" At this time, the obscure sound of the wooden fish finally stopped, and he looked at Wang Yao in amazement, as if he didn't know what was going on.
"Huh?" As the sound of the wooden fish disappeared, the pile of corpses and the transparent yellow-haired monster also disappeared in an instant, Wang Yao looked around, and only felt completely confused.
The two retreated twice in a row, and they were not far from the mouth of the alley, and the sound of car horns and human voices came from afar, which made Wang Yao feel like he was in a different world.
"What happened to you just now, what kind of wooden fish are you knocking well?" Wang Yao asked Xiang Shuo.
"No, huh, why did I take out the wooden fish?" looked at the wooden fish in his hand blankly, very surprised.
"What did you just see? ...... Are you deliberately using the wooden fish to make something mysterious here?" asked Wang Yao with a frown.
"No, what do you see?...... I ...... What did I do?" looked at Wang Yao in amazement.
“...... Okay, let's not talk about it, this place is evil, let's go quickly. ”
Wang Yao saw that the obscure appearance didn't look like a fake, and he himself was a little confused, not knowing whether what he saw just now was an illusion, or if the powerful ghost in the underworld really had to run out.
He wanted to report to the office, but he was not sure whether what he saw was true or false, if he was shallow and mistaken, he would let those old immortals see the joke.
When he came to the street with Haoshuo, Wang Yao thought about it, and still called Qiu Dingxiong, only saying that Haoshuo had something urgent to go to Ziqiang County, but he did not push away the matter of finding foreigners as he considered at the beginning, but said that he would come back when he was busy with the affairs of Ziqiang County.
It seems that this hotel is still a bit evil, and his realm is not high, and he is not very familiar with the immortal arts.
Qiu Dingxiong answered Wang Yao's call, obviously a little disappointed, but Wang Yao was originally his choice in desperation, Wang Yao wanted to be busy with his own affairs, and he was unwilling to force it.
Here Wang Yao hung up the phone, and rushed to the Zhidu bus station, Ziqiang County is a very remote county in Zhidu, it takes a lot of time to take a car to the past, when the two arrived at Ziqiang County, it was already dark, the street lights were sparse, and even pedestrians were rarely seen.
