Chapter 13: Like a Crack
It's almost one o'clock in the morning, and it's unusually cold tonight. The city has fallen into a deep slumber, and only the street lamps are working diligently, but this winter night seems to be particularly cold. Somewhere in the southern suburbs of H City, a person is on the wasteland, his hands are constantly moving, drawing a circle that is not big or small, and it is composed of strange patterns one by one, like some kind of mysterious text. I don't know what to use, it looks jet black, and it seems to be mixed with a dull blood, faintly exuding a cold aura, as if even the range of dozens of meters around the circle has dropped several degrees.
After Ah Li drew the soul-attracting talisman array, he took two steps back and took out two small glass bottles from the bag in Yuan Yanzhi's hand, the contents of which had shrunk, and the small piece was almost invisible.
This is the minced flesh of the corpses of the two young girls.
It is said that what is before death is what it is, and what it is after death. The two girls died so miserably that their bodies were incomplete.
Broken blood and remnant souls, do not cross the Lethe River.
Therefore, their remnant souls can only wander in the human world, and it is difficult to recall them, so they can only use their flesh and blood as a medium to find the souls scattered in various places.
Ali needs to find more information about the killer from them.
Gently put the glass bottle into the palm-sized mini Kong Ming lantern that had been folded before, put it in the center of the array, and gently pressed the seven pieces of rune paper, Ah Li stood up, his fingers turned into a complex gesture and chanted the incantation silently. The moment she opened her eyes, seven pieces of rune paper burst into flames!
The wind in the suburbs was very strong, but those rune papers were not affected at all, and slowly burned from the tail of the rune to the Kong Ming lantern in the middle, and the moment it touched the Kong Ming lantern, the flame actually turned blue! And somehow through the glass bottle!
The cold flame looked cold, and I saw the two Kong Ming lanterns slowly and leisurely rising, the flame was small, flickering and dimming, but the Kong Ming lantern rose steadily into the air, level with Ah Li's eyes, and after staying in place for a few seconds, it flew in one direction without hesitation as if receiving some guidance!
"Follow it!" The Soul Attraction Array will create an attraction among the remnant souls, and by following it, you will be able to find the remaining souls!
Two faint ghostly lights floated forward in the darkness like ghostly fires, and if they were seen, they would surely cause a commotion of "ghostly fires appearing in the middle of the night". Ah Li and Yuan Yi followed them all the way, for fear that if one of them didn't pay attention, they would be lost, and it would be even more troublesome to find them back at that time. Gradually moving from the suburbs to the city, she only felt that her leg was about to break, so Yuan Yanzhi simply picked her up and continued to follow.
His back was thick and warm, even if he was constantly running, Ah Li didn't feel half a bump, and he felt a sense of security. Kong Ming Lantern took them to run for almost two hours, Ah Li didn't know how far away, suddenly, the two lights stopped in front of a figure, the figure stood still on the high platform, and after a closer look, Ah Li found that it was a sculpture - the newly moved "Heavenly Maiden Welcome" in the square!
Kong Ming Lantern stopped on the palm of the Heavenly Maiden and the placket of the left breast, and then there was no movement, Ah Li had an answer in her heart, and suddenly, some faint blue light spots appeared where Kong Ming Lantern stayed, like fireflies in midsummer, but Ah Li felt that it was not good at all, but it was full of thick yin qi!
And along with those points of light, there was a murmur of pain!
"Pain...... It hurts...... Save me ......", "Let me go...... Pain......", "Hmm......"
"Let Me Go !!"
"Ahh!!h
What was originally a slight murmur suddenly turned into a piercing scream! Tragic and desperate, helpless and painful! Ah Li seemed to see their faces in great pain from the cruel capital punishment, as if she smelled the extremely strong blood in these points of light!
That kind of despair seems to penetrate Ah Li's body! The resentment is too strong! Ah Li hurriedly took out three runes and silently recited the spell, letting the rune paper float beside her and Yuan Yanzhi, blocking the resentment from the outside!
At the same time, Yuan Yanzhi also clenched his fists, a pair of calm eyes narrowed slightly, with a stunning momentum, ready to go!
The points of light gathered more and more, but they kept surrounding the sculpture and refused to leave, as if they were nostalgic for something.
Suddenly! The points of light seemed to be stimulated by something, and they were jumping and spinning around the sculpture in a very eager way, and the screams suddenly became stronger, almost bursting people's eardrums!
Ah Li's heart suddenly sank! There were more than two screams!
The loud and frightened voice is like a cry for help from hell!
"Click-click-"
The statue of the Celestial Maiden is cracked!
Thin lines spread rapidly, and soon they climbed up the statue's face like deadly poisonous threads, and at the same time, bright red liquid flowed out of the cracks!
Blood!
The kind face is lined with terrifying lines, the fair skin is dyed with blood, and the strong contrast vision makes this celestial maiden, who is still praised and admired during the day, suddenly become like a demon crawling out of hell, terrifying and terrifying!
And as the statue cracked, a large number of points of light suddenly burst out as if they had been released! Gradually fused together, the remnant souls in the two Kong Ming lanterns gradually formed, twisted, and frantically struggled to escape, but they couldn't escape because of the effect of the soul attraction array! However, on the sculpture, the remnants that burst out actually formed three distorted human faces!
There are five souls in total!
Then the three faces suddenly became larger, like a huge net, screaming and pounced on Ah Li not far away! The three rune papers were no longer enough to resist, Ah Li quickly took out a handful of rune paper and quickly recited the spell, and at the same time, the rune paper in his hand seemed to be guided, and quickly flew towards the three faces, flying in Ah Li's spell, like a long rune chain, binding them steadily, and slowly changing back to their original size in the struggle.
The extremely strong resentment seemed to burst the talisman chain, Ah Li maintained her gesture tightly, as if she was fighting against them, and suddenly attached a warm current to her arm, it was Yuan Lizhi who gave her more strength behind her, although Ah Li could completely control those souls, but it was undeniable that with Yuan Lizhi's help, it was not so hard.
Instead of being distracted, she increased her strength, holding the resentful spirit firmly in check, and then suddenly put it into another glass bottle, attached to the bottle with more rune paper.
Putting the three bottles in the palm of your hand, the surroundings slowly returned to silence as if nothing had happened.
Except for the bloody statue of the Celestial Maiden.
The sky slowly floated down the small petals of snowflakes, falling on the face of the cold cold, and soon turned into a drop of water, not the original pure white.
So lonely.
Ah Li slowly closed her eyes, she thought, there was no need to ask the ghosts of those girls.
"Rong Li, the corpse in that forest has been dug up. Thirteen bodies, all mutilated. Si An's voice was extremely heavy and exhausted. is approaching the end of the year, but accidents are frequent, and what makes him feel even more desperate is that he has not even found a clue so far!
"yes, got it." Ali hung up the phone and looked at the studio in front of her.
Zhuo Bin has made a lot of money with his amazing sculpture skills, and he is young and widely sought after, and he is now being interviewed by a new wave of reporters at home.
"Mr. Zhuo is young and promising, and the latest 'Heavenly Maiden Introduction' has been praised by the public, and I think he has made a lot of money!"
"It made everyone laugh. But this time, I'm going to donate the money to the animal shelter......"
When Ah Li was brought over by the assistant, she happened to hear such a sentence. Animal shelters? It's really kind.
Oh yes, this assistant is the big boy, who introduced himself as Wu Yang. looks lively and sunny, wearing a work suit, with a hint of immaturity in maturity.
Zhuo Bin's studio is located a little further away on the outskirts of the city, and it is said that he is making sculptures quietly. The one-story house, which occupies quite a bit of land, is probably used to store works.
After the reporter left, Wu Yang took them in.
"Sir, Miss Rong said that she was your admirer and came to visit and study." Zhuo Bin frowned when he heard this, but quickly smiled: "Contemptible and talented, let Miss Rong laugh."
"Mr. Zhuo is humble. Pls can I ...... Do you want to see your work? "
"Of course, feel free." Duan's generous posture and official smile are as experienced as if he has practiced hundreds of times.
There are many small sculptures on the cabinet in the studio, flowers, birds, fish and insects, as well as cats and dogs, which are lifelike.
"Don't touch it!"
Ah Li was just about to touch one of the Ragdoll cat sculptures, but was stopped by Zhuo Bin, turned to a pair of slightly gloomy eyes, stunned for a few seconds, Wu Yang smiled at her a little embarrassed: "Miss Rong go to the backyard with me, there are bigger ones behind." Zhuo Bin seemed to suddenly realize that he was wrong, pulled the corners of his mouth, and explained: "The mud on the surface of that cat hasn't dried yet...... I'm afraid of dirty hands......" After speaking, he turned his head and asked Wu Yang to quickly take the person to the backyard.
After the others left, he slowly walked up to the cat, carefully held it in his hand, and looked obsessively: "Can't touch ......"
The sculptures in the backyard are relatively large, many of them are about two meters long, there are portraits, there are others, and there are unpainted semi-finished products on one side.
"Click." The slight sound of wheels running over the sand came from the side, and it was the little girl in a wheelchair. Today she looked even more fragile, her face was bloodless, her lips were pale, her eyelids drooped, and her hair fluttered in the wind, as if she was going to disappear in the next second.
"Why did Sien come out? It's cold outside, I'll take you inside. Wu Yang's face was full of distress, and he hurriedly ran up and pushed the person into the house.
"Sien wants the young lady to push." The little girl's big eyes looked at Ah Li, making people unbearable to refuse this small request, Ah Li paused, walked up and took the wheelchair. Wu Yang was a little embarrassed, scratched his hair and looked at Ah Li apologetically: "Then it's troublesome for you."
"Out of the way."
Slowly pushed Xiao Sien into her pink and tender little room, but there was a violent vibration in Ah Li's sleeve!
The spirit butterfly has a reaction!
