Chapter 332: Infernal Purgatory

"Master, we really want to go in!" The crayfish pursed its mouth, but refused to take the flashlight.

"Or you're waiting outside!" Makihara said with a smile.

"Humph! It's not a good thing to come out with you! The crayfish snatched the flashlight angrily, and strode in.

Niwa roared, jumped off Makihara's shoulder, and disappeared into the darkness in a few dodges. This move startled the crayfish, and he almost threw the flashlight as a weapon.

"Senior brother, since this project is so dangerous and has such a bad reputation in the hearts of the citizens, why does the Li Group still need to investigate?" Makihara asked, "Is it really going to be acquired?" ”

"If you don't buy it, you can't do it! The so-called no business is not treacherous, Li Group is such a big company, the analysts are naturally first-class, they have already done market research, naturally do not want to touch this hot potato. But in order to get rid of this heart disease, the Rongcheng City Government has packaged it with another piece of land! ”

"Oh, I see!" Only then did Makihara understand.

The project is very empty, the surrounding lights are reflected, the construction site is not very dark, and some roads and obstacles can still be distinguished in the haze. When the three of them walked inside, they found that some half-built houses were shaking, and even some sparks could be seen, and the crayfish cowered and shone a flashlight, and found that they were all ragged people, presumably beggars who used this place as a gathering place.

After walking a little further in, at an intersection about a hundred meters away from the tall building, the neighbor stopped, and then took out a compass from his bag. This compass is very exquisite, I don't know if it's special, it can actually emit a faint light at night, and it seems to have a certain luminous function. As if the neighbor was fiddling with the compass, he walked back and forth, left and right, and after measuring it with a step, he drew a circle on the ground. However, this circle is not coherent, but leaves a gap in each of the four directions of east, west, north and south.

The crayfish curiously took a flashlight illumination, and even gestured with her hand, as if she was measuring the size of the circle, she was doing her job, this silly girl has become more and more interested in this area since she was stimulated by Long Ling'er, as long as she sees others fiddling with these things, whether she understands it or not, she will copy it down first.

"Don't learn!" Mu Yuan couldn't help laughing, "This is an ordinary circle, there is no mystery, the important thing is the position of the circle!" ”

"Oh!" The crayfish stood up in disappointment, "Master, what are you doing drawing this circle?" ”

"Have you ever seen someone burning paper money on the side of the road before? The intersection is the place where yin and yang meet, and it is not only a place for yang people to pass by, but also a place to lead to the underworld at night! Makihara explained, "Of course, not all intersections have this function, they must be located on the Ghost Gate Line, and Senior Brother was using a compass to measure the Ghost Gate Line just now!" ”

"But I remember when I burned paper money in the countryside, the circles drawn were coherent, and there were no gaps!"

"That's right, wreaths are used to declare the scope of power, the ones in the circle are burned for the mourners, and the ones outside the circle are for the lonely ghosts and ghosts! There is a gap in this circle, indicating that they are scattering yin wealth, and passing ghosts and yin cha can be used, and I hope that they can retreat after receiving the incense money, and don't make trouble! ”

"Then I'm going to burn more!" The crayfish snatched a few pieces of paper money from the hands of the neighbors, probably because he was afraid that it would not be enough, so he simply grabbed half of it.

Since someone was willing to serve, as if the neighbor simply handed all the incense, candles, and paper money to the crayfish, he withdrew some distance and quietly observed the direction of the paper ash and smoke. Mu Yuan also avoided it from a distance, and in the blink of his eyes, a black pupil was released silently.

As if the neighbor was concentrating on calculating the direction, he suddenly saw the needle of the compass moving inexplicably, and the pointer was still pointing behind him, so he couldn't help but glance back, only to find that Mu Yuan was standing far behind him, looking up at the tall building.

"This kid is really a bit evil!" As if the neighbor muttered in his heart.

"Master, what are you looking at?" The crayfish followed Makihara's gaze and saw nothing except the shadow of a ruined building.

"You want to see it?"

"Is it scary?"

"Sort of!"

The crayfish was a little entangled now, and she was scared to death, but her curiosity was like a small hand, constantly scratching her heart.

"Okay, let me see!"

"Just watch, but don't make a sound!" Makihara pulled the crayfish back and tapped her finger on her eyebrows.

Just by looking at it, the crayfish felt a chill down his spine, and cold sweat ran down his back, wetting the clothes in the back of his heart. Right next to the pile of burning embers at the crossroads, dozens of shadows gathered in black pressure. The men stared silently at the pile of ashes, none of them making a sound, and it slowly dispersed until the pair of paper money had completely burned out. In just a few breaths, these figures disappeared without a trace, and the crayfish raised the flashlight tremblingly, subconsciously wanting to look for it, but was stopped by Mu Yuan.

"Don't take pictures, these are ghosts!" Makihara whispered, "Look at the roof of that building!" ”

"Ahh The crayfish finally couldn't hold back this time, and suddenly cried out.

A hundred meters away, there was a figure standing on the top of the building, he stood on the edge, as if he was hesitating something, as if he was waiting for something, and after just a few seconds, the person jumped from the roof. Shortly after the man jumped, another man appeared in the seat, looked down, and then turned away.

"Yes...... Someone murdered! The crayfish turned pale with fright, and it took a long time to spit out these words, "Let's call the police quickly!" ”

"This is not a murder scene, if you look closely, the scene keeps repeating!" Makihara reminded.

The crayfish looked at it again, and sure enough, every time the person jumped down, another figure would appear on the roof, looking at the body shape and movements, almost exactly the same as before, it was like a videotape, replaying it over and over again.

"There are only two explanations for this phenomenon, one is the afterimage imprint, and the other is punishment!" "But this is obviously the second type, I've only read about it in the classics before, but I didn't expect to see it here!" ”

"Punishment? This...... It's too cruel, isn't it? "The crayfish just felt cold all over their bodies.

"This is a punishment from the eighteen layers of hell, the so-called Infernal Purgatory!" Makihara said, "The 'eighteen-layered' hell referred to in Buddhism does not refer to the layers of hell to the eighteenth layer, hell is not divided into levels, but is described according to time, the degree of suffering, and the size of the area. ”

"Master, are you saying that he has been repeating the process of death since he died? That...... Isn't that ten years old! ”

"Well, this person must have done something heinous!" Mu Yuan nodded, "Otherwise, I wouldn't have suffered this kind of pain!" ”

"Little junior brother is right!" As if the neighbor put the compass into his bag, "This should be the location of a ghost gate, no wonder a city god temple has been built to guard it!" Let's go, let's go and see! ”

"Master, forget it, this is a ghost gate!"

"No, this is no longer helping the Li Group! If any more reckless developers come to mess around, it will bring disaster to Banyan City, and this place must be solved! ”
