Chapter 13: The Convenience Store Is Destroyed
After saying this, the white-haired old man stared at the blood dripping from my fingertips, a flash of greed flashed in his eyes, and his scarlet tongue licked his lips as if he had seen some delicious meal.
Being stared at by him like this, I felt a little hairy in my heart.
However, the white-haired old man muttered something in a low voice and turned around and left the convenience store directly.
Who the hell are these guys?
I thought it was for the parchment rolls, but I didn't expect it to be just for the pattern on the wall in the convenience store, which scared me enough.
After relieving myself, I began to clean up the dead rats in the convenience store, there were so many of them that blood splattered everywhere, and the smell of blood was pungent.
By two o'clock in the second half of the night, I had cleaned up many of the rat carcasses and wiped the blood on the floor. However, only those blood stains on the wall can't be wiped off no matter how much you wipe them!
At the same time, I also noticed that the temperature in the convenience store seemed to drop a lot, and it felt like it was cold.
At first, I didn't pay much attention to it, but as time went on, the temperature dropped more and more, and it was like walking into a cold storage somewhere, and there was a white mist in my breath.
And when I walked out of the convenience store, it was still relatively hot outside, and the temperature difference between the inside and outside of the convenience store was too big, and I didn't know what was going on!
Hey, no!
I stood outside the convenience store, staring at the situation inside the convenience store in a daze, and froze!
The faΓ§ade of the convenience store was originally relatively new, but at this time it has gradually yellowed, and the outer wall skin has begun to peel off in pieces, mottled and mottled, as if it has gone through a long time.
In convenience stores, cash registers, containers, floors, ceilings, etc., are also beginning to show signs of deterioration, and the speed is changing at a speed that is visible to the naked eye.
The goods on the shelves, some of the original brand new things, have become old and dilapidated.
Also, on the yellowed walls, the patterns stained with blood, became blurred, and wisps of black mist emerged from there, filling the convenience store in a very short time, making everything in the convenience store hazy.
The cold wind blew from the convenience store, and I couldn't help but shiver.
What the hell is going on?
I remembered what the white-haired old man had said, and he said ruined the place......
Could it be that the pattern on the wall is the key point?
The convenience store has become this ghost because the pattern on the wall is stained with blood?
"Boom la la ......"
At that moment, there was a strange sound in the empty street, like the sound of chains rubbing against the ground.
I looked in the direction from which the voice came from, and saw a long line of people, their bodies stiffened and walking towards the other side of the street, pierced by thin chains under their feet.
These people have a common characteristic, they are all pointed, their figures are ethereal, and there is no shadow in the moonlight.
Are they all ghosts?
I watched in a daze, and saw that in front of these ghosts was a thin man with chains in one hand and a long black whip in the other.
The clothes on his body are very retro, just like the clothes worn by the prison guards in ancient times, his face is cold, I don't know what the origin is!
Among the ghosts who were stiffly lining up, the big-bellied woman was also impressively in the ranks, her eyes glazed and her body swaying and walking forward.
A flash of inspiration flashed through my mind, and my eyes widened.
These ghosts, they can't all be near Sakurayama Road, right?
The convenience store has always been here to provide convenience for these ghosts, but now that there is a problem with the convenience store, these ghosts near Sakurayama Road have also suffered?
As I was thinking about it, the man in the jailer's costume glanced at me with a cold gaze.
The long black whip in his hand slammed into me, shooting at me like a snake.
We weren't close, but the long black whip in his hand seemed to extend infinitely, and it was so fast that it almost took a breath to come to me.
At this point, it's too late for me to dodge!
Suddenly, a strong and strong hand appeared in front of me, and directly grabbed the long black whip.
Uncle Zong!
He rushed back at this time!
Uncle Zong's face was gloomy, he stared at the man deadly, and said in a deep voice: "Don't go too far, dare to do something to the living in the yang world, who gave you the guts!" β
As he spoke, Uncle Zong's hand holding the black whip flickered with a slight fluorescence, and the black whip broke instantly.
The man dressed as a jailer squinted at Uncle Zong, and said in a hoarse and stiff voice: "Zong Yi, don't be too arrogant, the intersection of yin and yang here has been destroyed, and these lonely souls and wild ghosts can't be protected by you." Over the years, the adult's patience with you has reached the limit, and if you dare to meddle in the affairs of the underworld in the future, be careful that you will fall into purgatory and suffer endless torture......"
"You're threatening me?" Uncle Zong interrupted him coldly.
The man said coldly: "This is not a threat, this is a fact!" My lord asked me to tell you that within a year, if you can't gather thirty earth masters to go to the yin and yang realm, your identity as a yin and yang envoy will not be able to save your life, this is the last time your adult tolerates......"
"If you dare to say one more word of nonsense, you won't have to leave, believe it or not?" Uncle Zong's eyes flickered with coldness.
In the face of Uncle Zong's threat, the man kept his mouth shut, but the mockery and disdain in his eyes were obvious.
Immediately after, the man pulled the lonely ghosts and disappeared into a black mist.
"Uncle Zong, who is that person?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Hades!" Uncle Zong responded casually.
Although I already had a guess in my heart, I was still surprised when Uncle Zong said it.
In this world, there is really a hell!
After thinking about it, it's also rare and strange for me, since there are ghosts, there must be the underworld.
I also wanted to ask Uncle Zong something, but Uncle Zong's face was ugly at this time, and he had already strode into the mottled and dilapidated convenience store.
The convenience store was gray, and I didn't know what Uncle Zong was doing inside, so it didn't take long for him to come out.
"What did the people who ruined the store say before leaving?" Uncle Zong asked in a deep voice.
I hurriedly told the white-haired old man about coming with a group of black-robed people, and there was nothing missing, and after I finished speaking, I looked at Uncle Zong cautiously.
I'm curious, what is that Yin-Yang Sect in Lingnan?
What holy relics did Uncle Zong take from other people's villages back then?
Although I was puzzled, I didn't ask uninterestingly, and at this time, Uncle Zong's face was ugly and he was in a bad mood.
Uncle Zong took out an old-fashioned mobile phone from his pocket and made a few calls, not knowing what to say.
Then, Uncle Zong took me back to the apartment and talked to me about something.
According to what Uncle Zong said, he originally wanted to protect me for a while, but the incident happened suddenly, and some things suddenly broke out together. Uncle Zong is also lacking in skills now, so he can only let me leave here as soon as possible.
Some people in Lingnan are still secretly snooping, Uncle Zong has something to leave, and he can't stay by my side, so let me be more careful.
At the same time, Uncle Zong told me that I must be proficient in using those things on the parchment scroll, because the big secret involved in that thing is very likely to involve my life experience, and it will never be obtained by those people in Lingnan.
Uncle Zong said a lot and didn't give me a chance to ask at all.
It wasn't until dawn that the doorbell rang for the apartment, and when I opened the door, I saw the old beggar and a few strange men and women standing outside.
"What the hell is going on? Call us over in such a hurry? β
The old beggar looked at Zong Yi suspiciously, and said, "This is your territory, and there are things you can't solve?" β
Zong Yi sighed and said helplessly: "The underworld, Lingnan, and ...... Dragon Tiger Mountain! β
One sentence made the old beggar and the strange men and women widen their eyes at the same time, looking shocked and incredulous.
"Both...... Got it all on the door? β
The old beggar stammered a little and said, "It's too coincidental, why are they all crowded together, what happened?" β
Uncle Zong glanced at me, and the old beggar understood, and with a lightning strike, he slashed directly at the back of my neck with a hand knife.
I cursed in my heart, my eyes went dark, and I fainted directly.
Even if you don't want me to hear the secret, there's no need to use such a method!
β¦β¦
I was groggy and I didn't know how long I had been asleep, and when I opened my eyes, it was already evening.
I remember being in my apartment before I fell unconscious, and I was in the back seat of a car driven by a mediocre-looking young man, one of the strange men and women who had been with the old beggar.
"Uncle Zong, what about them?" I rubbed the back of my sore neck and asked a little confused.
The young man replied casually, "Let's go!" β
"Gone?"
I was stunned for a moment and hurriedly asked, "Where did they go?" β
I hadn't had time to ask the old beggar about the whereabouts of my parents, and I didn't know when we would see each other again next time, which made me anxious.
The young man glanced at me from the rearview mirror and said lightly: "They went to Lingnan, don't think about going to them, Uncle Zong said let me take you to Sioux City!" After they take care of some things, they will naturally come to you! β
"Send me to Lingnan!" I roared.
The young man's face was calm, and he said lightly: "Boy, don't make trouble, don't you know what situation you are in now?" I really sent you to Lingnan, I don't know if you can find Uncle Zong and them, but one thing is for sure, you will definitely be eaten alive by some guys in Lingnan......"
No matter what I said, he looked tepid, and in the end he simply ignored me and drove with all his attention.
I also knew that I was messing around, and after gradually calming down the impatience in my heart, I looked out the window.
It was getting late, and the car was driving on the mountain road, and I was dazed.
It didn't take long for me to realize that something was wrong.
From time to time, there would be weasel tracks on the side of the road, and it seemed that every other stretch of the road there would be several huge weasels guarding them, and people stood up and stared at our car as if they were following us.
It's a bit weird!
"Hey, there's something wrong on the side of the road!" I said to the young man.
The young man drove with one hand, lit a cigarette with the other, spit out a smoke ring, and said leisurely: "Did you just find out?" These dog-day yellowskins have been following us since we left town, and I'm sure there's definitely Wong Tai Sin waiting for us ahead! β
