Preface Chapter 139 Soul Collector
The guard chuckled twice and ordered the man next to him to let him go.
"The family you are looking for is dead, you came to inquire about the news at this time, and you are still sneaky, I don't hand you over to the police station, am I stupid?"
"Are they all dead?" Liu Zi'an felt incredulous, and Chen Mu beside him was even more surprised.
"yes, you don't know, aren't you a relative?" the guard began to be aggressive.
Every security guard has a police dream and a criminal police dream in his heart, and he can't be blamed.
"I ...... Hit the township, ready to take refuge with the villagers, who knew that such a thing happened......" Liu Zi'an had an idea and made up a coming.
Liu Zi'an was detained outside by the security guards, and when he heard them say that Ms. Liu's family had died unexpectedly, he felt that he should leave him alone for the time being, and go to No. 4 Li Street to take a look before he was relieved.
Following the route guided by Ms. Liu, Chen Mu groped his way to the front of the compound at No. 4 Li Street.
It is a majestic courtyard house, and I didn't even have the opportunity to see this kind of real estate before, but now I am a ghost, and I can make friends with such a big family.
Chen Mu walked in directly, his body slowly passed through the wall, since the family was dead, he didn't need to knock on the door, and, just outside, he seemed to hear someone talking.
The security of the street is very good, and the people who live in it are not simple characters, but any eye-catching noise will not appear, and he is standing at the door of No. 4, and the rest are in the distance, and he is sure that the sound he heard is coming from inside.
The upper body entered the courtyard, and the lower body was still hesitating outside, Chen Mu was stunned by the scene in front of him.
In the courtyard, there are almost more than ten people, children, old people, men and women....... It's just that without exception, they all stared at Chen Mu intently when he came in.
If you can see yourself, you don't seem to be human.
Chen Mu was hesitant to go in, what was this? But he still moved the remaining half of his body in, maybe he left for no reason, but it would anger them.
Liu Zi'an told himself that although his identity is not ordinary now, he still has to be more restrained when he encounters individual fierce ghosts, as for which ones are fierce ghosts, Liu Zi'an did not elaborate.
Chen Mu is not stupid, before he doesn't know the details of the other party, he still shouldn't act rashly.
Then, he looked at the people in the yard and stretched out his hand, "Hi~"
The smile that squeezed out of the corners of his mouth was more like making a grimace, a doll saw his appearance, and was immediately frightened and cried, Chen Mu was a little helpless, it was his own child, and he usually didn't have much opportunity to coax her, this crying was simply Chen Mu's weakness.
For a while, he walked into the little doll in a little panic, wanting to reach out and touch her head to comfort and comfort her.
But just when his hand was about to touch the little doll's head, Chen Mu's hand was shaking, and a mouth grew on the doll's head, at this time, it was opening its bloody mouth, and its fangs were all visible, and the next moment, it was about to bite Chen Mu's hand, but fortunately he collected it quickly, and sat on the ground in front of him all of a sudden, and escaped the tiger's mouth.
Looking at the doll with an unusual temperament in front of him, Chen Mu complained bitterly in his heart.
The people around were stunned for a moment when they saw that Chen Mu was frightened to the ground, but in the next moment, everyone began to laugh.
A young woman walked up to Chen Mu, he shrunk his legs, but the girl didn't seem to be malicious, she stepped forward and squatted beside Chen Mu, her eyes still smiling.
"Are you alright? You're new here, aren't you?"
"New here? Oh yes. ”
Chen Mu said that she was newly dead.
The girl then said, "Since you are here, we will live together." Don't be afraid, these are my family. ”
As the girl spoke, she looked at the others, and then at Chen Mu.
"Living together?" Chen Mu didn't quite understand what she meant.
"yes, this is it. The girl said, pointing to the house behind her.
"It's all dead here?" Chen Mu didn't know if he was right.
The girl nodded.
"What is this place?" Chen Mu was a little vigilant, always feeling that this group of ghosts would trick themselves into breaking into pieces, just now the little girl was leaning on the lap of a woman, the terrifying posture just now had disappeared, and she no longer cried, she still looked innocent, Chen Mu suspected that the scene just now was his hallucination.
"Actually...... We don't know either. When the girl answered Chen Mu's question, there was an inscrutable look in her eyes.
"Don't know?"
"We all arrived at this place for no reason, and when we came in, we were trapped, we couldn't get out, and we couldn't be reborn, so we stayed here all the time......"
"Is she too?" Chen Mu pointed to the doll just now, always feeling that she gave people a sense of oppression.
The girl continued to nod.
"What about the people who lived here before?" Chen Mu remembered that the security guard outside just now said that Ms. Liu's family had all died.
The girl shook her head, "When we came, there was no one here. ”
"Who were you the first to come, and when did you come?"
"It's Ah Fu, he's been here for 10 years. The girl said, pointing to a young man in a suit and tie in the corner.
It seems that he should have been an office worker when he was alive, but his suit was a little tattered, and he looked a little nondescript, more like that kind of street bastard.
"10 years, Ms. Liu's family has not been dead for 10 years?" According to the security officer, Ms. Liu's family died one after another, which happened a few months ago.
"This house, really hasn't lived in anyone?"
This time, it wasn't just the girl who shook her head, everyone gave Chen Mu a positive answer.
That's weird.
Chen Mu got up from the ground, a little less wary of the group of people in front of him, it seemed that they were quite friendly, except for ...... That little doll that makes people feel uncomfortable.
"What do you mean you mean you're trapped here?"
A middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and pointed to the wall where Chen Mu had just entered, "This wall can only be entered, not exited." ”
"What?" Chen Mu didn't believe it, he was still thinking about retreating just now, if he didn't meet a group of good stubble, and if he wanted to quit, he would have to leave half of his body inside.
He didn't believe the man's claims and decided to try it himself.
He walked over to where he had just entered, and ......
Then, in full view, he went out, and the wall did not work as the man had just said, and then, in full view of everyone, he walked in......
Everyone looked at him in amazement, unable to believe that such a thing had happened.
Chen Mu frowned, feeling that the group of people inside the courtyard wall were playing tricks on themselves, "Isn't it that you can't get out?"
The man just now, seeing Chen Mu walking out without any effort, couldn't believe it, he also walked over himself, wanting to try whether the power of this house had disappeared.
However, he was not as lucky as Chen Mu, looking at the man who was hit on the ground in pain, Chen Mu didn't know how to explain, "Can't any of you get out?"
Everyone nodded.
"Do you know each other?"
Except for a few acquaintances, most people shook their heads.
It stands to reason that there would be no such place in the world where ghosts could be trapped, which obviously did not conform to the rules read by the ghosts that day.
Although the Quadrangular Pavilion attracts guests from Hell, most of them are wandering around, and some have even been on the other side of the world the night before. The ghost said that the lights of the Sifang Pavilion were on, so it would attract ghosts to come, and when they finished watching the play, the Sifang Pavilion would not trap them, and they would go wherever they wanted. Those who are willing to stay, the Sifang Pavilion will not drive people out.
I have a cool-sounding identity and can expand my business freely, but I am still bound by some of the most basic laws of hell, so it seems that the people who do this kind of behavior on the street here are either more corrupt than themselves, or, they are nonsense.
And Ms. Liu's family, how could it be that they didn't come in and live for no reason? Is it because ghosts can't see living people?
Since they didn't know themselves and had nothing to do with Ms. Liu's family, there was no need for them to spend time here, thinking of this, Chen Mu turned around and prepared to leave.
At this time, those ghosts who were originally standing behind him stepped forward to stop him.
"You help us, we want to get out. One man even knelt on the ground.
"yes, yes, help us. ”
Chen Mu was a little puzzled, "I see that you guys are not happy to live here, what are you doing out, reincarnated?"
When he first came in, what Chen Mu saw was indeed a peaceful place, just like a paradise, except for the doll.
Therefore, Chen Mu couldn't figure out why this group of people wanted to go out so much now.
An old man's voice rang out behind Chen Mu, "We still have our own things to do. ”
"It's all dead, what else are you going to do?" Chen Mu had a different calmness about death, even at the moment when he knew that he was dead, Chen Mu was not superfluous.
After listening to Chen Mu's words, the old man stretched out a hand, and something similar to a book appeared in the old man's hand, and he motioned for Chen Mu to take a look.
Although Chen Mu didn't know what it was, he still picked it up and opened it, and the first page said Death and Life Book.
Ridiculous, is it piracy? Isn't it a book of life and death?
Chen Mu then turned the rest of the page, and it was the life of the old man in front of him, and what good and bad things he had done in his life, all of which were listed one by one, very detailed, just like installing a life monitor.
But Chen Mu read them one by one, but did not find the cause of the old man's death, "You died of old age?"
Chen Mu looked at the old man's appearance, he should be in his old age, "What is this? Where did it come from?"
Now it was the old man's turn to be surprised, "Isn't this everyone's own?"
While speaking, everyone seemed to be surprised, and they showed their death and life books, that feeling, as if participating in an exhibition, they were stopped, everyone showed their passes, and only they were "politely" invited out by the security guards.
"What do you mean by showing me this?" Chen Mu adjusted his thinking, maybe because he had a human business license, this thing was exempted!
The old man took back his book, affectionately and sadly, and finally, he spit out a few words lightly, "We don't know how we died...... We still have things to do. ”
"Find out the cause of death?" Chen Mu's first reaction.
"It's not. Everyone denied Chen Mu's idea, "Yes......"
"Everyone, please listen to me......"
After listening to most people's explanations, Chen Mu stood on a high platform nearby, stopping everyone who was confiding in him.
Hearing his shout, everyone immediately fell silent and waited for him to continue.
After all, their hope is in this man, and they have to be quiet, and no one wants to stay here for a lifetime.
"I know that you all died by accident, and I don't even know how you died......" Chen Mu spoke, looking at the little doll with fangs in Shicai, if this is really the case, then these children in front of him are also innocent of accidents, thinking about it, I feel a little distressed, after all, I am also a person with children.
"I came this time, I didn't know that you were here, I have another matter on me, I need to deal with it first, don't worry, when I finish my affairs, I will find a way to help you, please believe me, okay?" Chen Mu's tone was actually a little pleading.
Everything must be paid attention to a first-come, first-served, since Ms. Liu asked her to help her first, there is no reason for her to wait.
When the people in front of him heard Chen Mu say this, they still didn't seem to buy it.
