Chapter 42: Black Paw Prints
Rich dark eye bags, shaved chin, slightly squinted eye slits......
"Hell!" I was so frightened that the three souls ascended to heaven, but I quickly reacted, isn't this the Qin Ghost Immortal? It was really scary to suddenly see a slightly familiar face in a strange passage, not to mention Qin Ghost's appearance, he really didn't dare to compliment.
"Why are you here?" I asked, surprised.
Qin Ghost Ming shook his head: "At first, I thought I was drowned, but when I woke up, I was in this passage full of dense fog, and I walked for a long time, and it seemed that I would never reach the end, but I saw the missing people who were dying one after another, a total of 18, and there were indeed two cars, and there were other people besides the owner." ”
"That'...... Why did you return? I asked, puzzled.
"I heard you screaming, so I ran back to check on the situation." Qin Ghost Ming habitually sneered, "What the hell is this place, the fog is so thick, the weirdest thing is that all the men, women and children who fell into the Zichuan River in the incident are hung above the passage. ”
"I'm going to go back to where I woke up, and if this is where we were put into the passage after losing consciousness, maybe there's an exit to get out, right? Why don't you go over and have a look? ”
"Nope." Qin Ghost Ming grabbed the stacked tarot cards with one hand, and played with the revolver with the other, "When I woke up, I thought of this, I temporarily turned myself into a ghost, and I tried my best to raise it to the level of a half-day ghost, but I couldn't tear open this spatial crack and leave, and then checked the place where I woke up, and there was no mechanism." ”
Turned into a ghost?
I suddenly remembered that I still had a ghost chess on my body, and a new combined seven-love ghost was sealed inside, and the level was almost the fifteenth ghost. I took it out and said to Tiri, "Now! ”
A whirlpool appeared around the ghost chess, and the new seven-love female ghost gradually appeared. Qin Ghost Ming's eyes widened, and he exclaimed, "What a beautiful female ghost, Brother Jiang, can I exchange the ghost capture array of the Ghost Hellgate with you?" ”
"This ghost is the first help in my ghost husband's career, no matter how powerful your woolen ghost trapping array is, I won't change it."
In fact, the other party only symbolically said that as a master of the Xuan Throne and a colleague of the Night Department, it is impossible for him to really have the heart to look at him.
The first sentence of the Seven Female Ghost was not to ask me what was the matter, but to tighten my eyebrows and ask: "Master, can you let me go back to the ghost chess, I don't like this place." ”
"Why?"
Qin Ghost Ming and I asked in unison, I originally wanted her to help, but as soon as I was released, I wanted to withdraw the troops.
"The mist here makes me uncomfortable, and it seems to be slowly eating away at my ghostly body." The ghost power of the Seven Female Ghosts surged, and her voice was mixed with uneasiness, "But the ghost power can withstand it for the time being, and my ghost power will not last more than a quarter of an hour before it is consumed." ”
"Then you should go back to the ghost chess."
The Seven Female Ghost returned to the ghost chess with a sigh of relief, I stuffed it into my pocket and asked, "Brother Qin, when you turned into a ghost, did you feel like this?" ”
"Nope. Although it has become a ghost body, it does not rely on ghost power, it seems that this space repels ghosts and can actively consume ghost power. ”
"So there isn't a ghost." My ghost finder has been used twice, and I can't use it again until I have full ghost power, so I said in confusion, "Your fishing boat capsized before, and Xu Huayan saw that you were bound by messy things underwater, what happened to you?" ”
"I heard you shout that there was a shadow under the water in the stern direction. I turned back to see that the bow of the boat began to tilt upward, and I was forced to jump underwater, but before I could get up, my hands and feet were choked by the hairy claws, and I dragged it down for some distance before it stopped, and it was so strong that I didn't even have a chance to draw my gun. ”
"It's like a claw grabbing my feet." I crouched down and scratched my brain, "What is this, corpse?" I still feel the temperature when I touch it. ”
"Is it a water monster?" After Qin Ghost Ming finished speaking, he denied it, "It's impossible, otherwise we would have been eaten a long time ago, it just dragged us to death, could it be that this thing has no attack power?" Someone must be manipulating! ”
"Ugh......" I looked at his tarot cards, "and waterproof?" In other words, you are really accurate, today I am rich in water element, because of you, I was kicked down the river by Xu Huayan, unlucky...... But you're also quite water-elemental. ”
"I never divinate myself." Qin Ghost Ming also squatted down, and the tarot cards in his hand flew over, "Count it for you again." ”
"Stop!"
My eyes seemed to freeze, and as he moved, I saw that there seemed to be something unusual in his exposed wrist. Seeing that Qin Ghost Ming had no intention of stopping, I hurriedly rushed forward and grabbed it, and opened his sleeve, and there was a black paw print.
Smaller than a human hand, with four fingers, each with two knuckles...... It's very different from human handprints!
I was stunned, "...... this?" ”
Qin Ghost Ming looked over inexplicably, and he was startled: "I don't know!" When did it appear? No, this is the part that has been scratched by the shaggy claws. As he spoke, he rolled open two trouser legs and another sleeve, revealing four strange black paw prints.
My heart trembled, and I hurriedly opened the trouser tube that had been dragged on that leg before, and there was actually a handprint that was exactly the same as Qin Ghost Ming!
At first, we thought that the hairy claws were dyed and painted, so we gently scraped the skin with stones, and as the force increased, even the skin was reddened, but the black paw prints showed no sign of fading.
The skin that the thing's claws touched, leaving a black paw print?
My scalp tingled and I asked uneasily, "Does this thing have any negative effects?" Or is it specifically designed to scare people? ”
"Depressed ......!" Qin Ghost Ming didn't dare to touch it, he put his trousers and sleeves away, "The Zichuan Yin Bridge incident is more complicated than imagined. Brother Jiang, don't touch it, there must be something wrong with this black paw print. ”
As he spoke, Qin Ghost Ming took a few steps towards the front of the passage.
"What do you want to do?" I asked, confused.
He said without looking back: "The first missing person is dead, I put the body down, if I guessed correctly, he jumped into the river and was dragged away by the thing with hairy claws in the water, so the body was not recovered." So I wanted to verify that he had this black paw print on him. ”
Qin Ghost Ming's strength in the middle Xuan position is not empty, one jump is two meters high, at the same time, he pulled out a knife in his arms, pointed his toes on the stone protruding from the wall, lifted one meter again, the knife light flashed, and Qin Ghost Ming fell to the ground lightly.
Then there was a muffled sound of "plopping", and Yue Wen's body fell to the ground with a broken rope.
"Brother Qin, you are so good."
"Don't be envious, with your strength in the yellow position, you can easily do it, but you don't know how to play." Qin Ghost Ming smiled, his pair of crescent eyebrows squirming, "If I wasn't worried about hitting my head, I would be able to jump at least five meters." ”
Play out?
I do have a yellow position strength, but only my five senses are sharper, and my movements are no different from ordinary people.
Qin Ghost Ming and I noticed that the way the ropes on his body were tied was like that of an island country love action movie, which was very visually impactful. We squatted next to Yue Wen's corpse, his skin was pale, and his eyes were staring, as if he was extremely unwilling before he died.
The corpse's face was bloodless, but there were droplets of water condensed by the thick fog.
After a little examination, Yue Wen's body had no other injuries except for his ankles, which were covered with blood. Our gaze shifted to the cracked ankle, Qin Ghost Ming scraped the blood with a tarot card, and we were suddenly stunned.
This is a black paw print that is exactly the same as ours, there is a crack in the middle, even if the owner of the body is dead, the blood has not stopped flowing out at all, as if it wants to squeeze Yue Wen's blood dry!
The cracks between the black paw prints are not as neat as those cut by a knife, nor are they as jagged as they are torn, and the openings are very rounded without any edges and corners.
I felt a panic in my heart for no reason: "Could it be ...... There was no external force involved in the wound between the black paw prints, did it appear on its own? ”
"That's the only way it can be explained." Qin Ghost Ming pinched a handful of cold sweat, and he said faintly, "Under normal circumstances, even if there is a crack in a person's ankle, the blood will flow for a while, and it will be able to scab, unless there are few platelets." But this is definitely not the case with Yue Wen, because the skin covered by the black paw prints is still bleeding when it is dead, and it seems that the bleeding cannot be stopped if it is not cleaned......"
"Wait, you said before that the other missing people were hanging above the passage like Yue Wen, so they were also bleeding?"
"I don't know, I walked against the wall, I just knew that they were not in good health, so I didn't take a closer look." Qin Ghost Ming moved his chin forward, and he proposed, "Let's go, let's go to the second hanging missing person to see the situation, this matter must be confirmed, in case the rounded crack that keeps bleeding is related to the black paw print, we will finish the game today." ”
Qin Ghost Ming walked through once before, and he took me to the location of the second missing person with ease, jumped up and cut the rope with a knife. This man was not dead, he was dying, I looked down and immediately recognized it.
"The professional from Huang in the second video, Xiao Hanyu?"
She said unconsciously, "Help...... Help me. ”
"Hold on."
I muttered as I looked at her ankles, the shocking black paw prints, the rounded cracks that bleed. At this moment, there was an abnormal situation, and the moment Xiao Hanyu was put down, the blood flow rate in the cracked mouth accelerated.
Xiao Hanyu turned his body and tried to struggle.
"Beauty, don't panic." Qin Ghost Ming symbolically comforted him, and he didn't dare to touch it with his hand, so he had to pick up a stone and plug the crack between the black paw prints.
"It hurts...... It hurts......" Xiao Hanyu's tears flowed, and she muttered, "Damn...... That...... Why should I cross the bridge......"
At this time, a small bag swollen around the crack on her ankle that was blocked by the stone, and the speed visible to the naked eye increased, but the swelling was only between the black paw prints, and there was no abnormality in normal skin outside the range.
The black paw prints are getting bigger and bigger, and they are very three-dimensional, and this film-like skin has a black and shiny luster. "Oops!" When I wanted to make Qin Ghost Ming withdraw his hand, it was a step too late.
"Puff !!"
The swollen black paw print on Xiao Hanyu's ankle suddenly exploded, and the fishy sweet blood splashed all over us!
