Chapter 36: The Statue of the Evil God
Under Guo Jia's arrangement, Shen Ruolan was sent back to the university, and the three senior brothers could finally carry out a follow-up investigation without distraction.
Leaving the restaurant on the second floor, Zheng Zilong proposed to go to the underground parking lot to investigate first, and Guo Jia and Zhou Kui readily agreed.
The empty parking lot was deserted, and the incandescent lights hanging from the ceiling flickered and flickered, emitting a bleak, faint white light.
Guo Jia walked in the front to explore the way, Zhou Kui was in the center, and Zheng Zilong was behind, and the three of them held their respective magic weapons tightly and explored carefully.
Walking to the side of a red Ferrari, Zheng Zilong suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to a water pipe diagonally above, and whispered: "Look, what is that?" β
Guo Jia and Zhou Kui looked up one after another, and the three of them stopped to observe for a few minutes, the black unknown object wrapped around the water pipe squirmed slightly, Guo Jia was shocked, and said with a somewhat uneasy face: "It looks like little Ketulu's tentacles!" β
Zheng Zilong snorted coldly, he took out a copper coin from the yellow cloth bag he was carrying, aimed at the tentacles on the water pipe, and shot the copper coin out.
The copper coin hit the tentacle and was quickly bounced out, and it didn't take long for the black tentacle to quickly retract into the water pipe and disappear.
"In my opinion, there may be more than one little Ketulu around here, be vigilant!" Guo Jia frowned, and his right eyelid kept beating wildly for some reason.
Zheng Zilong walked to the back of the Ferrari car, and by the light of his mobile phone, he found several strings of footprints on the ground near the back of the car.
On the other hand, Guo Jia noticed that there was a lot of dust on the body and front windshield of the Ferrari, and it could be seen that the car had not been used for a long time.
Zheng Zilong approached the wall where the Ferrari was docked, reached out and groped carefully on the wall, he gently tapped the wall with his finger knuckles, and based on the echo that came out, Guo Jia boldly concluded: "There is a big space inside the wall!" β
As soon as the words fell, Zheng Zilong's hand pressed to an obvious bulge, and he said excitedly: "I found the mechanism!" β
Zheng Zilong retreated to Guo Jia and Zhou Kui's side, looking at the wall slowly revealing a secret door that could only allow one person to pass through, and the three of them smiled understandingly: "It's really hard to find a place to step on the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it!" β
Still in the order just now, Guo Jia walked in front to explore the way, Zhou Kui was in the center, and Zheng Zilong was behind the palace, and the three of them entered the hidden secret room behind the wall one after another, and the secret door suddenly closed silently.
In the secret room where he couldn't see his fingers, Zhou Kui felt a little worried. He wanted to take out his mobile phone to illuminate, but was stopped by Guo Jia, and Zheng Zilong also turned off his mobile phone and put it back in his robe. He leaned over to Zhou Kui and whispered: "Senior Brother and I can open the Yin and Yang Eyes, and we can see clearly even in a dark environment, you follow us closely, don't fall behind!" β
Zhou Kui nodded silently, he grabbed the corner of Guo Jia's shirt, and walked forward step by step.
In a dark environment, people's perception of time will decrease significantly, and Zhou Kui has only been in the secret room for ten minutes, but it feels like many hours have passed.
The inside of the secret room was unusually hot and the air was not circulating, and Zheng Zilong, who had a keen sense of smell, smelled a faint fishy smell, which seemed to be coming from their right front.
"There seems to be a light ahead!" Zhou Kui said in surprise.
The three of them tiptoed forward, getting closer and closer to the light source, Guo Jia raised his left hand and signaled everyone to stand by and not act rashly.
When I looked closely, the place where the light source came out turned out to be a very hidden secret room, and the door of the secret room was open outward, leaving a gap in and out.
Guo Jia was about to step forward to enter the secret room to find out, when the three of them heard a conversation between a man and a woman in the secret room at the same time:
"This afternoon, there was an explosion in a sewer near the company building, I took a look, and dozens of small Ketulu were killed, it must have been done by Guo Jia!"
"Xiaoxue, do you remember what happened in Broken Dragon Village?"
"Yes, remember!"
"In the Broken Dragon Village incident, four brothers died in the Northern Branch. Twenty years ago, these four people were ordered by their superiors to travel around the country to carry out experiments in cultivating Ketulu, but they were chased and killed by the Heavenly Master Mansion of Longhu Mountain, and fled all the way to Broken Dragon Village, where they lived in seclusion, refining the villagers into living corpses, and cultivating a large number of Ketulu and other monsters. Later, due to the intervention of the Heavenly Master Mansion of Lingyun Mountain, Jiang Kui and the other four were killed, and all the monsters they cultivated in Broken Dragon Village were also wiped out. β
"What does the matter of Broken Dragon Village have to do with the company?"
Although Jiang Kui is only a lower-level cadre of the northern branch, he has several relatives who are middle and high-level cadres of the branch and have great influence. After the incident in Broken Dragon Village was reported by the media, the president of the northern branch sent a special letter asking the southern branch to launch retaliatory actions against the Lingyun Mountain Heavenly Master Mansion. β
"I understand, that's why my father asked the Heavenly Master Mansion to send Guo Jia and them to the company."
"You're right, I just want to make the company building a burial place for these stinky Taoists!"
"If we can successfully complete the task, there is hope for my dad to be promoted."
"I hope so!"
At the end of the conversation, Guo Jia and Zhou Kui's backs couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"I never thought that we would become the target of revenge of the SΓ©ance!"
Guo Jia swallowed his saliva, and his mood became heavier.
A few minutes later, a woman's voice came from the secret room again: "Dad, after praying, I will go back to the office first, lest they suspect and miss our important business!" β
"Okay, you go back to Guo Jia first, trick them into your office, and when the time is right, I will launch a spell to order all the monsters to surround the eighteenth floor, even if they have wings, they can't escape from the palm of my hand!"
The conversation between the two ended only a few seconds, followed by an inexplicable spell: "He is darkness, he is eternal night, he is the lord of the night who makes the stars lose their brilliance, he is the great Nyathop!" β
The incantation was repeated three times, the prayer ceremony was over, and the woman said goodbye to her companion and walked out through another hidden secret door in the secret room and took the elevator back to the office.
Guo Jia leaned over to the door and carefully looked inside.
A familiar figure of a man knelt on the ground with his back to Guo Jia, and in front of the man was a tall shrine enshrined in which a strange statue of a god about two meters tall was enshrined.
Guo Jia, who is well-informed on weekdays, has an indescribable sense of fear when he sees the statue.
"What kind of god is this, and how can it look so weird?"
Guo Jia silently swore to the Sanqing Patriarch in his heart that the statue in front of him definitely did not belong to the gods in Taoism, nor could it be a god in Buddhism.
Could it be Western Christianity, Catholicism, or other religions?
Just when Guo Jia felt puzzled, *** got up and walked to the statue, Guo Jia saw the man's side face through the faint light.
"It's Ling Zhengyi!"
Guo Jia's eyes widened, and his body trembled slightly from excitement.
In order to avoid startling the snake, Guo Jia waved his hand and motioned for Zhou Kui and Zheng Zilong to retreat.
The three of them returned to the entrance without danger, and Guo Jia groped a little and found the mechanism that opened the secret door from the inside.
"Senior brother, tonight's action has gained a lot!" Zhou Kui said excitedly.
Guo Jia nodded, and briefly summarized as he walked: "Ling Zhengyi and Ling Chuixue are indeed members of the Spirit Descent Society, judging from their conversation just now, there will be a fierce battle between us and the monster tonight!" β
βNyathop......β
Zheng Zilong's mouth kept chanting this word, Guo Jia stopped and asked curiously, "Zilong, do you know what this name means?" β
"Although I don't know what Nyathop means, I'm sure that this god they worship doesn't belong to any of the beliefs on earth!"
Guo Jia wanted to continue to ask, but his mobile phone suddenly rang a few times.
"It's Ling Chuixue's call!"
