Chapter 21: Striking West
Is this being used to ward off disasters? Xu Yunge looked at the old beggar's corpse in a daze.
His empty eyes looked at the sky, his deformed and twisted knee joints were weirdly upward, and even his ankles were knocked out and dislocated in the impact, his painful, twisted and helpless expression froze at that moment, his face was covered with blood, and he fell quietly on the street, not even qualified to rest.
If I had come back a little later in that dress, would I have died?
If you guessed correctly, it was for him just now, and it was impossible for Xu Yunge to dodge with a moment of weakness and powerlessness, even if it was turned on, it would take 45 seconds!
Forty-five seconds was enough for a car that was sure to kill him, crushing him back and forth into a pulp.
The ease after confirming the facts of the case, and the happiness of being unscathed in the face of ghosts, are gradually fading, and the continuous attacks make Xu Yunge's mood heavy and nervous again.
Someone is eyeing him, is it because the movement in the Xingchen Internet café has been exposed? This is not quite the same as the seduction of the mountain behind the school, it is almost clear that it is coming at him.
Xu Yunge's fingers gradually ignited uncontrollable pain and desire to attack, and the effect of destruction was activated again, and an evil fire surged in his heart.
Too careless! Because things are going well, and he is not in an urban legend, Xu Yunge did not expect that a supernatural attack would really occur in broad daylight.
However, the vehicle that just committed the murder was not a big truck in the hallucination, but a bus that was driving very fast, and it should be gone in an instant when it hit the beggar, and if it was caught under the wheel and crushed its head, it is estimated that it is difficult to obtain evidence of the appearance of the deceased.
"There seems to be a black fog in the neighborhood across the square, is that my delusion? Or is it that since the chauffeur last night, everything has already fallen into someone else's trap? ”
"Yes, it's very suspicious, and the previous design attack was also the priority of encountering black fog. If it was really that group of survivors, after discovering my identity, I didn't let them contact Wang Baozhi at the beginning, and as for the ghost being killed later, so they held a grudge against me, so it seems to make sense. ”
"And now that I know the trigger mechanism of disillusionment, as long as the mood and mood are up to standard, combined with the Annihilation Blow, which ignores multiple defense decisions, it is not powerless. It's just that when I trigger the break, I'll also show my flaws, and now I'm like this, and I'm seriously injured. ”
Xu Yunge readjusted his state to avoid the curse and secretly occupy the upper hand of reason, and the scene of the crime received a call from the police, and soon police cars and relevant personnel blocked the road section.
Xu Yunge remembered those cursed people who had entered urban legends, but the situation was a little chaotic later, and he couldn't determine who the specific survivors were, after all, there might be people who didn't go on the road from the beginning.
Moreover, except for the black-haired youth, the rest of the cursed people seemed to be acting in a team, how many members they had, and what kind of operation mode they had, Xu Yunge was not clear for the time being.
"What kind of shooting, people are dead and still shooting! We are investigating the accident as soon as possible, please delete all the photos and videos, don't spread it on the Internet and cause confusion! ”
Lao Li didn't change his clothes, and carefully checked the condition of the deceased while helping to hold the horn, and at the end, he was relieved to see Xu Yunge wearing a mask and changing clothes and walking out of the Internet café.
Xu Yunge's coin hypnosis left a deep impression on Lao Li, and the old clothes that he saw from a distance before made Lao Li suddenly chuckle in his heart, and instantly made up the plot that the detective found out the real murderer, but it involved the plot of being murdered by the interests behind it.
Although it was only a one-sided relationship, the more enthusiastic Lao Li still breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time felt that Xu Yunge's behavior was very strange, he rarely saw a private detective, and he threw it directly after wearing clothes a few times: "Fortunately, you are fine, there was an accident near Xingchen Internet Cafe, did you see it?" ”
Xu Yunge nodded and looked at the reversed vehicle not far away: "I have witnessed some of the scene, it may be that the driver suddenly fell ill, I just saw the old clothes being picked up and put on, so I took a few more looks, and I didn't expect this to happen." ”
Lao Li didn't show his inner doubts, he just took off his clothes and threw them away, but the old beggar died when he put them on. However, Xu Yunge is right, there is no community clothing donation box near the Xingchen Internet Cafe, everything can only be said to be too coincidental.
"Yes, I'd like to ask you to help keep an eye out for a few suspicious characters, who may have something to do with them, but I'm not sure."
"Oh?" Lao Li listened carefully, Xu Yunge depicted the appearance of the pregnant woman and others, and deliberately emphasized the black-haired young man.
It's strange, if you don't check the scene after the crime, you can immediately narrow down the scope of suspects, is this guy so godly? Or was he checking something from the beginning, helping Zhao Wenlan just by doing it, and he didn't tell anyone his true purpose? Lao Li nodded, not showing doubts.
But he watched Xu Yunge close his eyes, stood silently for a while, and suddenly took out a stack of strange banknotes that looked like dark banknotes from his pocket, and asked Lao Li to borrow the fire.
Xu Yunge didn't kill the old beggar, but the old beggar may have died because of him. In order to avoid long nights or evil spirits asking for his life, he decided to try the effect of Netherworld Treasure first.
By the way, Xu Yunge also wanted to know if ordinary people could see such weird props.
Even though Lao Li has worked for many years in terms of psychological quality, when he sees this kind of operation, he can't help but show strangeness: "You still carry this kind of thing with you?" ”
"yes, maybe I'll be able to use it myself someday." Xu Yunge smiled indifferently, and took out a total of 250 yuan of Netherworld Tongbao and ignited it near the old beggar.
Seeing the light, the Netherworld Treasure was slightly hot at hand, and there was also a special smell of incense when it burned.
Suddenly, Xu Yunge saw some translucent shadows on the road around him. Frowning, I could vaguely see the shadow of the old beggar crouching on the ground, grabbing a few, as if crying, as if laughing, with his mouth open "Ahhhh
The rest of the shadows surrounded him, Xu Yunge's eyes were slightly red, and the scarlet runes in his brain began to react. The whispers that surged in the wind gradually translated into strings of clear words and emerged.
These translucent shadows were not like black fog, they were curled up nearby and did not approach immediately, Lao Li just felt that the morning wind suddenly became very cold, and he was busy dealing with the scene, and did not say much.
"This lord, looking for people or seeking revenge?"
"What is the cause of the old beggar's death?" Xu Yunge asked a tentative question in his heart, and suddenly saw a pair of claws poking into the burning Netherworld Treasure.
"I know, there is a disabled woman with a ghost in her heart who has her eyes on you, but she and the people behind her are very powerful, I don't dare to say more, thank you for the reward." With that, the shadow quietly disappeared.
Harboring a ghost? Xu Yunge's heart moved, he suspected that this was a hint about the curse on the woman.
"Who knows how to find them?" Xu Yunge asked again, the burning Netherworld Treasure was invisibly missing.
"My lord, they should have been with you all the way, not something that we can handle, if there is a difference of interest, the adult can communicate and mediate on his own." Although the second shadow didn't give any hints, it told Xu Yunge that it was indeed done by a group of cursed people.
Xu Yunge looked at the last bit of the burning Netherworld Treasure, and finally asked, "How can you enter the gate of the ghost market?" ”
"My lord, the ghost market needs enough strength to open the gate, we little shrimps can't do anything, but the other party is coming for the aura mark on your body, we will give you a cover, they will definitely not find you for a while."
After the Netherworld Treasure was burned, a group of shadows rushed to fight, mixed with a few cries of chagrin, and then these shadows wandered privately and disappeared into all corners of the city.
It turns out that these things have always existed in the city I live in?
Xu Yunge didn't believe in their nonsense very much, but he also figured out some rules.
Although he wasn't sure if these things could be called ghosts, it was clear that their attack performance was not very strong, and compared to the group of ghosts in the back mountain, they seemed to be difficult to directly attack the living.
"Maybe it's some remnants of soul and weak obsessions, the kind that can easily dissipate, right?"
Xu Yunge was about to ask about the situation, when suddenly his mobile phone vibrated and Dr. Zhu sent a message.
"Is Wang Baozhi on your side? I just came over and found out she was gone! ”
"What's going on without me?" Xu Yunge's heart tightened, and he immediately thought of something bad, since the cursed person dared to attack him, when they found out Wang Baozhi, they might not attack her.
But why, on earth, do such cursed people dare to kill people like crazy?
Aren't they afraid that the crazy mutation upgrade will curse them and kill them directly?
"Oh no, I've checked the surveillance, she may have received some psychological cues and was taken away by hypnosis, this is the time and photos when she left!"
Dr. Zhu sent a short video, in which Wang Baozhi unloaded the big lock of the clinic with his bare hands and walked out step by step.
That's a big lock that even an adult strong man can't break, how can she, a sick and weak woman, have such great strength?
The time was the middle of the night, very similar to Xu Yunge's visit to Houshan Cultural Park, she was also affected and walked over.
"I know, Lao Li happens to be on my side, you have something to talk to him."
"How so?!" When Lao Li saw the video, he also had a ghostly expression, which can't be blamed on Dr. Zhu, after all, no one would have thought that Wang Baozhi would be able to break such a lock with his bare hands.
If the prisoners and patients could break the iron cage with their bare hands, ordinary people would definitely not be able to do anything about them.
"It's bad, the Hu family's parents fled, Wang Baozhi is missing, there are still people making trouble over there, and everyone in our team has been led to the scene of the car accident here, could this be a premeditated hijacking?"
Lao Li's brain spun quickly and he immediately applied for reinforcements.
"Give it to me in advance, and if you find anything, let us know immediately. In case you meet criminals or the Hu family's parents, I see that you are not in good health, so don't be rash. ”
Xu Yunge agreed, but walked a few corners to avoid the surveillance, and his figure gradually disappeared.
Looking at the community that was faintly revealing the black fog, Xu Yunge sneered, and the power of the curse in his chest continued to stir, making him impatient to run towards the community.
