Chapter 39: Four Lives
After stepping out of the door, I turned on my flashlight and shone it forward, and the wet ghosts were still blocked at the entrance of the corridor not far away, and the white-clothed female worker was among them.
I am in the situation now, with a cliff behind my back, and there is no way back, so I have to suppress the fear in my heart and approach them step by step.
A faint red light spread out forward, and the ghosts were forced back by the red light.
"Sister-in-law, thank you for your hard work."
I thought silently in my heart, striding forward, the ghosts surrounded me, eager to try, but I was shocked by the red light, and did not dare to step forward.
My ears were full of the sound of water, the cries of ghosts, and in the depths of the darkness ahead, something was softly calling my name:
Li Zhiwen ...... You were deceived by the woman in the temple! Do you really want to save her? Come here, I'll help you ......."
I ignored the voices and ran quickly towards the exit along the route I had come.
The light of the flashlight shook violently, and the interference of some kind of electromagnetic radiation began to flicker and flicker, and before the darkness completely swallowed me, I finally rushed to the exit.
After climbing to the empty room on the tenth floor, I collapsed completely, covered in cold sweat, and lay on the ground panting for breath.
Replace someone else, in this case, probably already collapsed. But I can't fall, if I fall, Su Yao will be gone.
If I can't even protect her, what can I do to protect my sister?
After a 1-minute break, I gritted my teeth and got up and rushed to the elevator.
With the dull sound of metal rubbing, the elevator went down, and I touched the thick money in my pocket, and my heart went up and down:
Who to contact...... When Su Yao's substitute ghost?
I met Lao Jia on the first floor, and he greeted him in a hurry: "How is it?" Did you go down? What a squeak you need? ”
After staring at him for a while, I ignored Lao Jia and walked out of the unit door.
Lao Jia is greedy for money and cowardly, but his sin does not lead to death.
Leaving the waterworks community, I casually found a small road and went straight.
It was dark, there were hardly any pedestrians on the road, and I occasionally met a few strange passers-by who came home from work, but I couldn't bear to step forward.
This is a dialogue between the spirit and the body, an unsolvable multiple-choice question, and any choice is wrong.
Moreover, I will bear all the causes and effects arising from this.
But I had to choose, I only had an hour.
I walked along the road for an unknown amount of time, and I met many people before and after, all of whom I missed.
On the surface, this matter is very simple, just find someone and stuff the money into him, and no one will refuse a windfall.
It's just too difficult to do, although I, Li Zhiwen, am not a saint, exchanging the lives of innocent people for Su Yao? The only remaining conscience does not allow me to do so.
Time passed imperceptibly, and like a lonely ghost who could not find a home, I stumbled in the snow, and with the sound of brakes and the shouts of the drivers, I crossed the road and came to a small wood.
There seems to be someone in the woods, at this point in time, in the middle of winter, who will appear in such a remote place except me.
It doesn't seem to matter anymore.
I don't have the courage to do it after all, but what should Su Yao do? I'm so unwilling.
"Stop first, someone's coming!" The people in the woods spotted me, and a few rays of light came through.
I lifted my tired eyelids and looked over to see four young men standing in the woods, with a strong smell of alcohol.
Behind the men, on the snow, a girl huddled and cried.
"Cry you a bit! Slut! One of them, a tall young man, threw her foot on the girl's head, and she fell to the snow and cried even harder.
"Stinky brother, what are you looking at?" Another guy in a leather coat walked up to me, holding something like a knife in his hand.
It was so dark and glaring that I couldn't see the details.
Seeing that I wasn't leaving, the man in leather rushed up and kicked me hard: "Look again? I'm going to kill you with a knife. ”
I took a step back, pointed at the girl and asked, "Why did you hit her?" ”
The leather-clothed man spat on the ground: "That's my daughter-in-law, what do I want to fight, how many do you care?" ”
"He's not...... Eldest brother...... Please save me...... They forced me...... Sell. "The girl didn't even say anything about crying.
"Shall I grass you!" The tall young man slapped her hard.
The four of them rushed up and surrounded me in the middle, and the tall young man took out a throwing knife from his leather coat and slashed in front of me: "What's wrong brother?" Be a hero, nosy? Don't be bored, make a hero bleed and cry? ”
Everyone else laughed. They all have guys in their hands, they are drunk, and besides, in this kind of remote place in the suburbs, there can be no surveillance, and stabbing me is all for nothing.
My sister-in-law's voice came from my ear: "Do you need me to do it?" ”
"No, you don't." I shook my head, and immediately received a slap in the face:
"What's not necessary? Do you pretend to be you? The leather-clad man pointed at me and scolded.
I took a step back and said with a smile: "Brother, how big is it?" In a civilized society, if you can solve it with money, why do you have to do it. As I spoke, I touched my bulging pocket.
The man in leather still wanted to make a move, but the tall man grabbed him and glanced at my pocket: "Okay, the boss is a particular person, I'll tell you directly, then my daughter-in-law." ”
He pointed to the girl behind him: "I was short of money, so I took her to work in the clubhouse, but the guests thought she was ugly and refused to ask her. ”
I smiled and nodded, and the murderous intent in my heart surged! Thank God! I was cornered and let me meet these four baskets.
"What's the matter, boss? Do you want to eat for your brothers? You pay for it, and you take it away and play as you like. The tall man looked at me with a sinister smile.
"Okay." I immediately took the wad of money out of my pocket, grabbed it from the tall one, and counted it with my head down.
He pulled out one of them, took a picture with his mobile phone, and asked suspiciously, "What is written on this?" ”
The leather-clad man took it and looked at it: "Did he make a mark?" ”
I immediately shook my head: "I don't know, I took it out of the bank and that's it." ”
"How many markings? Watching too much TV? The tall man with crooked eyelids gave a few to each of them, and put the rest in his arms.
"It's real money, search him again and see if there's anything left."
The man in leather came forward, turned my pocket upside down, and there was nothing left, and saw that my phone was worthless, and threw it on the snow.
"The boss broke the bank."
The four of them left me and walked out of the woods laughing.
I breathed a sigh of relief, picked up my phone, ran to the girl, and when I asked, I found out that the girl was only 17 years old, not yet an adult, and ran away from home and met a bad person in society.
These people tricked her into her lodgings, beat her violently, and forced her to go to the clubhouse, but the guests did not look down on her, and she did not make a penny one night, and in anger, the girl was dragged to the woods on the outskirts of the city, and was beaten and kicked again.
Luckily, they met me.
This girl was indeed not very good-looking, with small eyes, a slightly crooked mouth, and a swollen face on half of the cake, and I helped her out of the grove.
"Brother, where are you taking me?" Out of the grove, she was so frightened that she refused to leave, I sighed: "Old sister, don't ink it, I don't have any thoughts about you, hurry up and stop the car for you to go home." ”
She was skeptical and cried after me, and I was afraid that she would not be able to keep up, so I had to slow down and delay for some time.
After walking about half a mile, she suddenly pointed ahead and screamed.
I looked up and saw a crooked-necked tree more than ten meters away, with four corpses hanging from it, which were the four young men from before.
Four belts strangled their necks, the neck of the tall man in leather was broken, his tongue spit out, and the corpse swayed slowly in the wind.
Wang Yan didn't lie to me, as long as she received the money, it was equivalent to agreeing with the Yin Deed, and the other party would definitely die.
If I had seen this kind of eerie scene before, I would have turned around and ran away in fright, but everything that has happened these days has already subverted my worldview, so what is this small scene?
I courageously went under the tree, scoured the corpse for money, and piled it on the snow and burned it.
"You guys don't deserve to live in the world, I Li Zhiwen took this cause and effect." I sneered at the fire.
"Let's go!" Clapping my hands, I took one last look at the four bodies in the tree and beckoned the girl to leave.
"I see...... You are a master, you curse and kill them! She stopped crying and tugged at my arm excitedly.
I threw away my arms and said in a cold voice: "Take care of yourself, you can run around again in the future, I can't even understand this society, let alone you fart child?" ”
When I got to the highway, I helped her stop the car, sent her away, and turned around and walked back.
The successful delivery of the money bought Su Yao a lot of time, and her tense heart relaxed a little.
Under the protection of Mei Yanzi, I returned to the gloomy temple on the ninth floor, rushed into the back room to take a look, and saw Su Yao lying flat on the bed, her eyes closed, her expression looking very painful, Wang Yan and Zhu Feiyue guarding the side.
Four long embroidery needles pierced Su Yao's eyebrows, chest, navel and lower abdomen respectively.
Wang Yan looked at me with some surprise: "I didn't expect it, you really did it, Li Zhiwen, I misjudged you, I thought you were a bad seed, this situation was replaced by someone else, I fled home early to urinate on the kang, I didn't expect you to impress me." ”
She nodded at me with satisfaction: "A real man should be like you, even if he dies, he must protect the woman he loves and not let her suffer a little grievance." ”
"It's just that for Su Yao, an innocent life died in vain, can you bear the karma behind?"
"It's four lives, believe me, they didn't die unjustly at all." I replied angrily, sat on the edge of the bed, and stroked Su Yao's face tremblingly.
"What's next?" I looked at Wang Yan.
Wang Yan smiled lightly: "That money, I bought her two more days, you are ready, then you must enter the Netherworld, find her, and help her break through together." ”
