prelude

At 9 o'clock in the morning, as soon as Xiao Dian walked into the office, he shouted, "Ahhhh The streets were wet and it was starting to rain again. As she shouted, she wiped her burgundy ponytail with a tissue.

"The observatory said that there will be a thunderstorm this evening, and I don't know when the rain will fall. Come, let's go. It was Lin Lan who spoke, and she was busy wiping the wet floor at the door with a mop.

"Ouch! How do you walk with your eyes closed? When Xiao Dark turned to avoid the mop, he accidentally bumped into a person and bounced her down the aisle onto the office chair.

It was the sleepy-eyed Xia Xunfei, who was holding a large stack of books, and after being woken up by Xiao Di's scream, he said repeatedly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry!" Are you okay? ”

"You went to be a thief last night? Why are there so many dark circles under your eyes? Xiao Dian stood up and approached Xia Xunfei to observe carefully.

"Last night there was a night of thunder! It's windy and rainy outside the window, and even the outdoor billboards are clanging, so noisy, you can actually sleep! Xia Xunfei walked to the pile of debris and put down the books, and pointed to Jin Hao, who was lying on his stomach and napping in the office, "Look at the muscles, you are so sleepy that you can't get up." ”

Jin Hao lay on the table and didn't look up, and said in a daze: "If this typhoon continues to fight, I will have a nervous breakdown......

In June in H City, it is the season of typhoons, typhoons come and go, walks, the No. 8 typhoon signal rises and falls several times, and people's spirits are also tossed and sluggish. In this depressive season, the only thing that can make Xia Xunfei feel a little more energetic is that his work has finally changed, no longer need to sit in front of the computer all day to enter data, but instead stand next to the scanner to scan books, but it is also so boring. Xia Xunfei lifted the layers above the pile of debris and took out the scanner, even though the scanner kept making noise, Xia Xunfei felt that he could fall asleep standing now.

"What kind of book is this?" Xiao Dian didn't know when she came over, she picked up one of the yellowed books and asked.

"I don't know...... Haha......" Xia Xunfei yawned, "I don't know where the first sister got it...... Said it was going to be scanned into the computer......"

"It seems to be some kind of note, but it's still handwritten, what is this ghost drawing?" Xiao Dian flipped through, "It's so boring." ”

"Originally, our work was boring, and we were so idle that we wanted to have nothing to do." Xia Xunfei sighed.

"In a small city like H City, how can there be cases investigated every day, especially this kind of case related to the supernatural, do you think we are filming a TV series? A demon is gone, and another ghost comes. Xiao Dian simply picked up the book and fanned it.

"I've been here for a few months, and I've arrested people twice, and I haven't even investigated the case much, so I finally made up my mind to do something, why is it so difficult?" Xia Xunfei shook his head and said.

"Sister, I'll just say you're inexperienced! Even when I used to be in the criminal investigation team, most of my work was to collect clues and then go to the scene to arrest people, and most of those prisoners were so weak that they confessed without trial in order to give a light sentence. Usually as long as our police release a reward for solving the case, there will be all kinds of clues that will continue to find themselves at the door, and when investigating the case, they will fight shootouts at every turn, and those who collect clues and rack their brains to analyze the case are all filming TV series! Brat. Xiao Dian said in a tone that was extremely incommensurate with his appearance.

"It seems like I'm expecting too much...... Ay! How do you use books as fans! Give me back! If I accidentally break it, my sister will scold me again! Xia Xunfei found that Xiao Dian was shaking the book "in a hurry", and quickly snatched it from her hand.

"If it's broken, I won't scold you, at most I will ask you to hand-copy an identical copy and pay it to others." Shen Qingyi didn't know when he leaned against the door of the office and said coldly.

"One, first sister, when did you show up, that, I'm joking!" Xia Xunfei was taken aback.

"Okay, let's put down what we're doing and have a meeting." Shen Qingyi didn't return to Xia Xunfei, she clapped her hands and beckoned everyone to go to the conference room.

In the conference room, Shen Qingyi was holding two newspapers, one from last week and one from the current day.

"Last week, the police have come to a conclusion about the fall of Lihua Plaza, it is the owner of the C102 shop on the third floor who was accidentally squeezed off the fence by the crowd when watching the excitement, fortunately there was a temporary stage in the atrium on the second floor to play a buffering role, the injured only had multiple broken bones, and there was no danger to life, two days ago the city hospital said that the injured had regained consciousness." Shen Qing handed the newspaper to everyone to circulate.

"Ah...... Why is it Liwan Square again, I come to such a 'trapeze' every one or two years, I really don't know how long it will be to make trouble, and I can circle the square by connecting the corpses! Xiao Dian said with a tugging cheek.

"This guy is really fateful, he fell so many times, and he didn't die." Jin Hao flicked the newspaper and said.

"It's definitely not like someone accidentally squeezed down! I've seen that fence, it's 1.2 meters! Definitely haunted again! Lin Lan took the newspaper and read it.

"I don't know why it's so evil, and the corpse collection rate in the city is the highest except for the funeral home." Xia Xunfei took the newspaper handed over by Lin Lan, the picture on it was the atrium of Liwan Square, I don't know if it was a printing problem or a lighting problem, the picture was very dim and gloomy.

Just when everyone was talking, Uncle Guang seemed very calm, and he could be said to be indifferent. As soon as Shen Qing saw this, he asked, "Uncle Guang, what do you think?" ”

As if he was thinking, Uncle Guang was silent for a while and said, "It's the seventh, right?" That...... One ...... missing."

Speaking of Lihua Plaza, it is known to everyone in H City, it is located in the most prosperous golden commercial street in H City since ancient times, covering an area of more than 40,000 square meters, with 7 floors of 140,000 square meters of shopping malls, more than 2,000 shops and 8 luxury residences, but it is famous not because it represents the famous business circle, but because it has been around the supernatural events since its construction, all kinds of strange events like unjust spirits continue to entangle Radisson Plaza, So much so that it has been ranked first among the top ten supernatural locations in H City for 20 years, and ghost stories about it can really circle the earth.

It is said that in the old town of H city, there is a very prosperous commercial street since ancient times, the commercial street is in the shape of a "7", I don't know how, there is a small mass grave at the corner of this "7", yes, this mass grave is the predecessor of Liyun Square. According to the storyteller's story, a long, long time ago, there were several respected immortals, who suppressed a monster under this mass grave, and it was because of the suppressed monster that the surrounding crowds were attracted to such a prosperous commercial street, but at the same time, there were countless corpses on the mass grave.

After the country experienced turmoil and famine again and again, many shacks began to be built around the mass graves, which were inhabited by poor people who had fled to H City, and because they could not find a place to live, they had to build houses around the mass graves that no one cared for. Gradually, more and more displaced people gathered in mass graves, so much so that the surrounding law and order were seriously affected. The government decided to empty the area and build a large plaza for residential and shopping, but the demolition was slow due to the large and mixed population at the time.

At that time, the developer was mercenary, so in order to complete the task, he gritted his teeth and crossed his heart, and hired a few old boys to set fire to the house in the middle of the night to drive away the people who did not want to move out. He just wanted to light a few fires to scare people, who knew that the moon was dark and the wind was high, and a little spark burned the hut and mass grave to the ground, and there were countless casualties that night, and the whole fire was filled with cries and screams. The developer was imprisoned for this event, but the incident did not subside, because the mass graves after the fire often heard strange sounds of children crying and adults screaming in the middle of the night, and it is said that the souls burned to death in the fire kept repeating the situation of the last moments of life.

The government also racked its brains in order to calm the matter, and had to secretly invite a few Taoist priests to the scene to fast, who knew that the Taoist priest who invited was found tragically dead in the ashes of the fire the next morning, and the cause of death was cardiac arrest. The only one who didn't die had gone crazy, and kept repeating "Female Ghost in Red, Female Ghost in Red", and it is said that he didn't live long in the end. Even at this point, the government continued to stop the development work, and the second developer, a man of military background, is said to be a burly and powerful man who does not believe in ghosts and gods. After he took over, in order to figure out the source of the strange sound, he took people to the construction site in the middle of the night to squat, but in the second half of the night, I don't know where to rush out a few wild dogs, and forcibly tore the developer and others apart, when someone escaped and ran to the phone booth to dial 110 and 120 for help, but the phone has been busy and cannot be connected, and after that night, there were some more infiltrating shouts on the construction site - "Help!" It hurts! "After the news of these strange things spread, everyone talked about it, saying that there were some things buried under the mass grave, and whoever dared to dig up this land would have an accident, so no one in the local developer was willing to take over this mess. In order to calm down the rhetoric, and because of the problem of face, the government specially invited a developer from other places to take over. The developer was very superstitious, and as soon as he arrived, he invited the Taoist of the Five Immortals Temple and the master of the Six Banyan Temple to come and give him instructions on feng shui, but the two masters said that the resentment here was too heavy and they could only build a religious place, otherwise they could not suppress the resentment of the unjust souls, and more people would only die in the future. However, the developers from other places saw the money, and did not pay attention to the opinions of the two masters, but invited a sorcerer from abroad to come over and suppress the resentment with the evil crooked way, it is said that at that time, a truckload of black dogs came to slaughter on the spot, and the black dog blood penetrated every corner of the construction site, and the terrible smell of blood could be smelled for miles around. Finally, the official construction of Liwan Square finally started, but when digging the foundation, there was a new strange incident, the construction workers dug out eight strange coffins under the construction site, eight coffins in a circle, each of which refers to the heaven and the earth to be placed vertically, although the wood of the coffin has been unbearable, but the nails are snow-white and bright with cold, the coffin in addition to the white bones is only rune paper, the workers pry open the coffin from the inside and fly out of the tattered rune paper, like snow scattered around the construction site. For a while, the workers were panicked and didn't know what to do. However, the foreign developer felt that there was an evil god to protect and be fearless, so he ordered the foreman to lead people to burn the coffin on the spot. It is said that when it burns, you can see a distorted face in the billowing black smoke. The curse of Radisson Square officially kicked off at this time.
