The alley is located not far behind the city's commercial center, and the office buildings in front of it are bustling with people during the day, and in the middle of the night, the overtime workers are almost gone, and there is hardly half a figure in sight.

Ten years ago, a young female white-collar worker who got off work in the middle of the night was kidnapped here by a group of thugs, abused for more than two hours, and finally died tragically.

Xia Yanqi felt uncomfortable and asked, "Those people, what happened to them?"

"The last one, who was released from prison last month. ”

"How can this be?!" Xia Yan said angrily, "Didn't you say that killing people pays for their lives? How can they be released from prison so easily!"

"Underage. Xia Shiyuan said, "And she wasn't killed directly, she was still alive when they left." She was hurt to death. ”

Xia Yanqi shuddered.

"This is not a residential area, and no one passes by at night, she cries for mercy and cries, but no one answers her, and when she is found the next day, she has no intact skin on her body, and even her eyeballs have been ripped out. ”

"Torture and killing?" Yan Jing took two steps into the alley, then stopped and closed his eyes to feel the resentment in the air, and only said after a while: "She has become an earthbound spirit, and she repeats what happened to her life every day, and she cannot die or be liberated." ”

Xia Yanqi's tears flowed down.

When she peeled the fruit, she would cut a little skin and scream and rummage through the boxes and cabinets to find medicine, that girl had to endure such pain every day for nearly ten years. And the person who caused all this can stand in the sun again, laugh and play again, and live a good life again after being released from prison.

What did that girl do wrong? Did she deserve it just because she was late for work?

Xia Shiyuan looked at Lu Bingqian again: "It was Uncle Lu who investigated this case at the beginning. ”

Lu Nuoming, Lu Bingqian's father, is currently the captain of the Criminal Police Brigade of City A.

"So why are you here?"

Facing Xia Shiyuan's inquiring gaze, Lu Bingqian moved his lips and did not speak.

"Let's ......" As soon as Xiao Hai spoke, he was stopped by Lu Bingqian raising his hand.

"I haven't figured out what to tell you, I ......"

"Do you really think that I will know nothing when you go out in the middle of the night every day?" Xia Shiyuan curled the corners of his lips, "Don't worry, when you go out, I'll follow you, slow! Slow!"

It would have been more convincing if she hadn't gritted her teeth.

"Meow!"

A cat meow made everyone's attention focus on Qin Peiyu, and even Yan Jing opened his eyes and turned around.

"Meow!"

Qin Peiyu's voice was unhurried, and then he stretched out his claws and pointed towards the spirit flag.

Yan Jing's pupils shrank.

The banners around the Spiritist Banner bulged up like pockets filled with wind, and the black shadows on both sides continued to drill into it, and the Banner was about to be broken.

Yan Jing hurriedly walked forward, took out a few pieces of yellow rune paper from his trouser pocket and threw them on the spirit flag, the rune paper was firmly stained on the banner cloth, and made a few more gestures on his hand, and read in his mouth: "Taishang Edict, Chaoru Lonely Soul, Ghost Everything, Four Lives are Favored." (Taoist Mantra)

The few black shadows closest to him actually screamed, turned directly into white light, and disappeared in place.

However, the situation of the spirit banner did not improve, and it continued to bulge outward at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the black shadows on both sides were also constantly squeezing inward. If this continues, I'm afraid the general trend will not be good.

Yan Jing bit his finger in a hurry, squeezed the blood, and drew a spell in the air.

The blood hung in the air as if it had congealed, and he was so fast that he drew the spell in an instant, and then slapped the spell on the spirit flag.

The banner stopped agitating, and the black shadows on both sides stood in place and stopped their movements for a while, while the originally faint and faint chanting sound became rapid and hit the eardrums of everyone present.

"Snort. ”

The spirit banner tore a small hole in the cloth on one side.

Yan Jing seemed to have been punched in the chest, and instantly bent down, he stood up straight with the pain, his face was pale, and the corners of his mouth overflowed a little red.

Yan Jing swallowed the blood in his mouth, sat cross-legged on the ground, hugged his right wrist with a fist with his left hand, and made a sword fingerprint with the middle index finger of his right hand, and then pointed forward to the spirit flag.

"Pro, soldier, fight ......"

Before he could finish his mantra, the conjuring banner exploded from the small opening of Fang Cai, and all the souls of the dead who had been collected escaped and rushed towards his body.

However, in an instant, Yan Jing's body was overwhelmed by the black shadow.

Not only Yan Jing, but even Lu Bingqian and the others were surrounded by black shadows.

"Uhh

A suppressed pain spilled out of Xia Yanqi's mouth. Her whole body was wrapped with black shadows, and those countless black shadows were opening like mouths and biting her, arms, legs, and waist...... Not even the ears and nose were spared.

However, Xia Yanqi's limbs and waist were restrained by the black vines that lurked out of the alley at some point, and he couldn't move.

The black shadows that stained her became more condensed in the next second, and those black shadows who originally wanted to pounce on Yan Jing turned to Xia Yanqi when they saw this.

Xiao Hai was too busy to take care of himself, and Lu Bingqian was also surrounded by many black shadow soldiers in armor, tearing apart one and surrounding a bunch, but at a distance of two steps, he couldn't move for half a minute.

All this happened so fast that Xia Shiyuan didn't react at all, and saw Xia Yanqi's face was painful and hideous, and there was no injury but blood oozing from the places on his body that could be seen by the naked eye.

"It hurts. Xia Yan laboriously tilted his head towards Xia Shiyuan, with tears and begging in his eyes, and cried loudly: "Help me, please, save me." ”

Her eyes bulged out, her eyelids flipped and drooped on them, her nose collapsed, and the corners of her mouth on both sides pulled out two flying lines of flesh and blood from her ears and temples, and her face was full of blood and tears, so terrifying that it made people almost sick.

Xia Shiyuan subconsciously took half a step back, but her back was against a wall that she couldn't see, cold and slippery, sticky, and with a rancid smell.

Xia Shiyuan's body trembled slightly, and his hands clenched into fists.

She knew in her heart that Xia Yanqi must have encountered a situation that she didn't understand.

She looked over to the other people in the room.

Yan Jing was sitting cross-legged on the ground, his face like gold paper, and he was chanting words with his eyes closed.

Xiao Hai kept slapping his body with a disgusted face, occasionally jumping to his feet.

Lu Bingqian repeatedly grabbed the unknown thing in the air with both hands and tore it to both sides, lifting and putting down his footsteps, but he kept standing still.

No one can help Xia Yanqi.

Qin Peiyu stood on the high wall, his originally round cat's eyes turned into vertical pupils, staring at Xia Yanqi condescendingly, his back arched, one paw slightly raised, ready to give her a look.

Outside the log cabin in the col.

Xia Yanyue stood in the courtyard with her hands tied, looking at the direction of City A motionless.

The lights in the cabin were not turned on, the stars and moon in the sky were dim, there was silence all around, and Xia Yanyue's figure could not be seen clearly in the dark night.
