In the black Mercedes-Benz, Xia Ren and the anxious Zheng Lang were driving in the night.

"Xu Qiang is dead."

Xia Ren said suddenly.

"Huh?"

Zheng Lang almost didn't throw the phone out.

Xia Ren watched his reaction through the rearview mirror in the car, and continued: "He committed suicide, and before he died, he also pulled his parents to be buried with him, when I went in the morning, as soon as I entered their house, I saw blood all over the ground, Xu Qiang's parents were lying on the ground, one was cut throat, the other was stabbed to death, and Xu Qiang was hanging in his bedroom, his eyes were protruding, his face was purple and blue, and his tongue was sticking out. ”

"Liar, liar, why haven't I heard of it."

Although all of a sudden, Zheng Lang couldn't fully believe it, just hearing the scene described by Xia Ren was already so frightened that he couldn't speak.

"What am I lying to you for?"

Xia Ren said: "The reason why I don't tell you is because I am afraid of causing panic. Zheng Lang, do you know why Xu Qiang committed suicide? ”

Most of what he said is true, children have never experienced life and death, and they have a strong fear of death, plus the ghost stories and horror movies they have watched since childhood, so they don't need him to say anything, and the other party will automatically make up the horror picture.

The reason why Xia Ren told the other party these things was to see that he was unhappy, and on the other hand, to let him know that this matter was very troublesome, so as to facilitate his next arrangements.

Zheng Lang recalled what they did to Xu Qiang last night, and couldn't help shaking, and hurriedly said, "I don't know, I don't know anything." ”

"Yes."

Xia Ren nodded noncommittally, and then threw out an even more exciting news: "Actually, my identity is not a teacher, but an investigator who specializes in dealing with weird **, Xu Qiang has become a powerful ghost after his death, I need to deal with him." ”

Zheng Lang was stunned.

Is there really a ghost in this world?

Immediately afterwards, he thought of something even more terrifying, if Xu Qiang really became a ghost, then the first thing to look for must be a few of them!

The repeated conversations beyond common sense and fear had already made Zheng Lang completely panicked, and he said anxiously: "Teacher, ......"

"Don't worry, I won't watch you die in vain."

Xia Ren comforted him, and then took out a palm-sized piece of white paper from his pocket.

"You hold this talisman, it can protect your safety at a critical time, if you see a pattern on the talisman paper, you must tell me."

What he deliberately foreshadowed just now was all to make the other party pay attention to this old seal, so that he would not throw it away at will when he got his hands.

Seeing the rune paper, Zheng Lang sobered up a little, after all, he was a person who was among the best in learning, and his head was not turning slowly, he thought of those charlatans, and wondered if this teacher made up a story to cheat money?

"Take it, anyway, you don't need money, trust a little bit, and besides, Xu Qiang may do it tonight."

Hearing this, Zheng Lang hurriedly took the rune paper and carefully held it in the palm of his hand.

The distance from the school to his home is not far, less than a fifteen-minute drive.

"Don't tell anyone about this, or I won't be able to keep you safe."

After getting out of the car, Xia Ren instructed him again.

Zheng Lang had already believed it completely at this time, and nodded again and again, full of gratitude to him.

Since he had already contacted his family in advance, as soon as he knocked on the door, a middle-aged couple opened the door warmly to greet him, serving tea and condolences of concern, which made Xia Ren a little embarrassed.

Then he said: "Zheng Lang bullied other classmates with his friends at school, do you know this? ”

"Uh......"

The couple's smiles suddenly froze on their faces.

Zheng Lang didn't expect him to say it so directly, didn't he say that he would protect me just now?

The home visit ended quickly, and Xia Ren looked at the red mark on Zheng Lang's face and felt very satisfied.

The car was parked in the community, and he politely refused the kindness of Zheng Lang's parents and went downstairs alone.

It was already half past nine in the evening, and there were no stars to be seen in the dark night, and it was pitch black, and the lights were on the path, but each street lamp was far apart, and under the pressure of the thick darkness, it could only illuminate a small place.

It is only at this time, in this place, that the hustle and bustle of the city can slowly fade, and you can hear the insects in the grass by the roadside.

Xia Ren walked to his car, opened the door, and was stunned.

In the co-pilot's seat, there was a slightly chubby teenager wearing a Liming Middle School uniform.

It's just that the boy's school uniform is stained with blood, which is in stark contrast to his own eerily pale complexion.

"Don't meddle with things."

Xu Qiang said expressionlessly.

Xia Ren was a little surprised, he was completely different from the cowardly little fat man he saw yesterday afternoon, it was a kind of cold, as if it was leaking out of the bone marrow, and the tone of his voice was not like a warning, but more like the feeling I saw a bug at my feet and then stepped on it.

Cruel to the point of numbness, a temperament that completely disregards life.

This kind of strong contrast between before and after, he has only seen it in the second-class infected body, but even Fang Bin and the taxi driver Shen Hua have not changed as thoroughly as the little fat man in front of him.

It was likely that this was the first of the three types of infections he had seen.

"Are you hallucinating too?"

Xia Ren licked his lips excitedly, and the crowbar silently appeared in his hand.

Xu Qiang's appearance at least verified that his guess in the afternoon was correct.

"Do you want to die?"

Xu Qiang's tone finally carried a trace of anger, and at the same time, there were doubts.

This person, why is he not afraid of himself?

When he was at school in the afternoon, he knew that three people might be investigating the cause of his death, so he casually warned him, but to his surprise, the two women did not fall for the trick at all, and his illusion did not work on them, but almost revealed his location.

Only this man, who was able to break his illusion by virtue of a strange piece of paper, looked non-threatening in itself, was an ordinary person.

But he has already handed over that kind of paper to Zheng Lang, why is he not afraid of himself now?

Xu Qiang frowned, and his gaze unconsciously moved to the crowbar in his hand.

When did this stick appear? But it's still impossible to use this against yourself.

Xia Ren ignored his threat and sat directly in the driver's seat, then closed the door and locked it.

Now there are only two of them in the car, and no one wants to get out of the car.

"What happened last night? Why are you the way you are? Have you ever seen a brown lanyard? ”

Xia Ren opened his mouth and asked a series of questions.

Xu Qiang smiled.

This guy, can't you understand the current situation?

Well, go die!

However, before he could make a move, he saw that the other party also smiled.

"Since you don't want to take the initiative, then I'm sorry."

It's been a long time since Xia Ren has earned achievement points by sealing the infected.

The moment he saw him laughing, Xu Qiang felt bad in his heart, and was about to hurry up, when he saw that he didn't know when, the narrow car had been filled with a mass of wriggling limbs full of suckers.

"It's, tentacles!"

Xu Qiang has lived as a human for more than ten years, and he has lived as a dead man for another day, but the two experiences are added together, and he has never seen such a big tentacle!

What shocked him even more was that this tentacle actually grew from the back of the head of the man in front of him!

The tentacle was like lightning, and Xu Qiang was controlled in the blink of an eye.

It's too late to do anything now, his body is tightly entangled, and although the surface of the tentacles is smooth, the dense white suction cups have a huge absorbing force, and they can't break free at all.

"What the hell are you!"

Xu Qiang shouted with a hideous face.

Xia Ren opened his eyes and made eye contact with him.

The moment his eyes staggered, Xu Qiang stopped struggling.

Then, the tentacles rolled into the air, and Xu Qiang's figure disappeared inexplicably.

"What's going on?"

Xia Ren frowned and lifted Rulim's eye.

The air around him twisted, the sound of insects ringing in his ears again, and he found himself standing in front of the car, not in at all, and the tentacles and crowbars in the back of his head did not appear.

"Is this an illusion, or is it ...... Dream? ”

Xia Ren looked into the distance suddenly, there seemed to be something hidden in the thick darkness, but then, this feeling of being snooped on disappeared, and it was estimated that the thing had left.

After standing in place for a while, he returned to the car, thought about it, and called Qin Yun to tell him that he would not go back tonight.

……

……

Liming Middle School, on the roof of a certain teaching building, Xu Qiang was panting.

He didn't need to breathe, but he was still panting frantically, because only in this way could the fear in his heart be relieved.

"Monster! Monster! ”

Xu Qiang raised his trembling hands and covered his face, and when he remembered the picture he had just seen, he couldn't stop trembling.
