The moon is obscured, and the mountains and forests are swallowed up by silence.

The car couldn't drive up the mountain, Xu Ran didn't take a moment to rest after climbing the ladder, and took a shortcut to find Zhang Siyang's house.

Xu Ran walked all the way through the village, but it was like walking in a dead city.

He knocked on the door of Zhang Siyang's house.

Fortunately, Zhang Siyang had already written down his entrustment, did not sleep to death, and had been waiting for his news, and at this time he quickly opened the door to respond.

"What's wrong?"

It was a little cold outside at night, and Zhang Siyang put on a thin coat when he came out.

"Zhu Fang is dead."

"What?" Zhang Siyang couldn't react for a while, and asked a little stunned, "What...... When? ”

"Just now."

Xu Ran replied, his slightly lowered eyebrows and eyes looking a little indifferent against the backdrop of the night.

"Li Wuyuan is missing." He said again.

Zhang Siyang probably figured out what he wanted to express, pulled the door with his backhand, and said angrily: "Wang Ba Lamb!" Killing pays for life, not to mention one corpse and two lives, go! ”

He didn't want to blame Xu Ran anymore, after all, the matter had come to this point, and criticism would not help.

"I contacted Qi Lei, except for Zhu Fang's accidental death in the hospital, nothing evil happened." Xu Ran followed Zhang Siyang side by side, his face gloomy.

"How did the Fan family and his grandmother offend her!" Zhang Siyang gritted his teeth and said with hatred.

"Fan Jia......" Xu Ran repeated slowly.

Zhang Siyang also reacted immediately, the two glanced at each other, and tacitly went straight to Fan Zuolin's house.

The doors and windows were closed, the courtyard was deadly silent, and the courtyard of the Fan family seemed to be one of the countless graves in the village.

Zhang Siyang knocked on the door, but no one answered.

It was so quiet tonight that there were no insects or dogs barking, as if the place they were in was no longer human.

For some reason, Xu Ran's eyelids jumped, and then he pulled Zhang Siyang away, raised his leg and kicked open the closed door, and walked in.

Crunch – crunch –

It was pitch black in front of me, but it seemed as if something was swaying in the wind, making a slight noise.

Xu Ran took out his mobile phone, and the faint light shone on something that was shaking from side to side.

He looked closely, only to realize that it was a pair of human legs.

Smack-

Zhang Siyang turned on the light switch, the lights in the room turned on, and the dim light was projected on a corpse hanging on the beam, and the sound when he entered the door was the sound when the corpse swayed and drove the beam.

Aunt Fan hanged herself.

Zhang Siyang gasped, almost not being frightened by the scene in front of him.

Xu Ran put the phone back in his pocket, and then hugged the body down.

Zhang Siyang stood at the door, he couldn't help but wrap his clothes, he always felt that the temperature tonight seemed to be particularly low, and the cold and biting cold wind drilled straight into his back and neck, as if he had suddenly entered the winter in the north.

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced back.

But in an instant, he fell into the abyss of fear.

- The lights of all the houses in Liudao Village are all on.

It was supposed to be a symbol of light, warmth, and hope, but at the moment it was full of cold despair, and when you looked at it, you didn't feel that every house was inhabited by villagers with ancient roads, but a corpse staring at you.

Not every household has electric lights, and some villagers even use kerosene lamps. But at this time, the dim yellow light from the windows of everyone's homes was the same.

Consistent size, consistent light and dark.

"Boy ......"

Zhang Siyang noticed Xu Ran coming over and knew that he had also seen the scene in front of him.

"Isn't there just the two of us living in this village?"

The disappointment in Xu Ran's eyes had gradually vanished, and it had been distorted into absolute hatred.

"She's definitely still here."

Xu Ran took out the pistol on his waist, loaded the bullet, and walked out of the courtyard.

On both sides of the uneven dirt road, the doors and windows of each house were closed, and only the yellow light and darkness competed in the air, and the junction showed a brown and black fog.

Looking at the sky at this time, it seems that the night is no longer pure night, nor is it pure dawn, as if the sky is flowing with red blood before it dies, and the blood is soaked in clouds.

The two men walked down the middle of the road, and the red mist settled, gradually swallowing the path behind them.

At the entrance of the village, the lights were extinguished, and a man stood upright on a tree.

This tree is the locust tree at the entrance of the village, and the locust is the ghost of the wood.

Xu Ran recognized the familiar figure at a glance.

Lee is unwilling.

Zhang Siyang stretched out his hand to stop Xu Ran for the first time, and said, "Don't go over yet!" We don't know how capable she is! ”

Xu Ran pushed him away, and his gaze always fell firmly on Li Wuyuan.

"Why are you doing that?" His expression was calm, but he couldn't hide the tremor in his tone.

The night wind hunts, and the vertical pupils of the girl standing on the tree emit a moonlight-like light.

"Speak."

The two words, but as if every syllable had been separated by him, so heavy.

The girl's soft black hair fluttered, messy, and tangled in the wind, and that black hair he had touched many times, and each time it made people sink.

But the other party just stood and didn't say anything.

Zhang Siyang pointed at her and said, "Did you kill Zhu Fang!" And in the village, are they all your ghosts! ”

After a long time, Li Wuyuan spoke quietly.

"Do you believe me?"

It's to ask Xu Ran.

Xu Ran was silent for a long time, pulling the corners of his mouth, and his smile was full of bitter mockery.

"How do you want me to trust you?"

Li Wuyuan stopped talking, her face hidden in the night made it difficult to see her expression, and her body did not move, with an unpredictable sense of weirdness.

Zhang Siyang caught a glimpse of Xu Ran's slowly raised hands from the afterglow, holding a pitch-black pistol in his hand.

"Did you do it?" Xu Ran asked word by word.

All that was restored to him was endless silence.

"Answer me."

The resolute tone seems to warn the other party - this is your last chance.

In the end, however, there was no answer.

Bang –

A loud bang fell, Zhang Siyang subconsciously followed in the blink of an eye, and when he looked closely, he saw a wisp of white smoke coming from the muzzle of the gun in Xu Ran's hand.

Then there was a dull sound of objects falling to the ground.

Li Wuyuan lay on the ground, his head tilted to one side, and blood was dripping from the left side of his chest.

Xu Ran's hands hung down, and under the cold lenses, a transparent substance rolled out of his red eye sockets.

Zhang Siyang glanced at him with some hesitation, then lowered his head with a complicated expression and walked to Li Wuyuan's body.

"Dead." He reached out and probed, slowly spitting out two words.

Xu Ran felt dizzy in his whole mind after hearing those two simple words, and the whole world seemed to be constantly collapsing, cracking, and disintegrating until it came to naught.

He turned his head and forced himself not to look at the man lying on the ground, his voice as if it had experienced a heart-rending roar, and only became low and hoarse.

"That's good."

Although it was a sigh of relief, Zhang Siyang didn't hear the sudden surprise.

"That's good." Someone repeated, quite satisfied.

It's not Xu Ran's voice.

The two turned their heads and saw two people coming from the boundless darkness, one tall and thin, the other slender.

As the two approached one after the other, the dim light gradually crept up the man's white and gentle face.

"You ......" Zhang Siyang pointed at the other party, stood up suddenly, and his blood surged up in an instant, and his eyes turned black.

Qi Lei was wearing the white shirt he usually wears, the buttons were buttoned to the second one under the neckline, and his quiet and docile eyebrows were full of smiles, but they were extremely cold and strange.

He put his hands in his trouser pockets, stopped not far away, and tilted his head at Zhang Siyang and smiled.

"I thank you so much for helping me a lot."

Xu Ran looked at him in disbelief, then looked down at the gun in his hand, as if in hindsight he remembered what he had just done.

"Who the hell are you?" Zhang Siyang asked.

Qi Lei should have been in the town hospital, but the car was driven away by Xu Ran, Aunt Fan died, and Liudao Village was a vision, so his sudden appearance already means that the Qi Lei in front of him is obviously not a good type.

"Qi Lei from the Ministry of Public Security in Shipu Town," the man shrugged, rightfully speaking. "Didn't I introduce myself a long time ago?"

Xu Ran looked at Li Wuyuan who was lying in a pool of blood in a daze, and suddenly his heart ached, and many questions and thoughts in his brain became hideous.

"No need to play dumb riddles, who are you?"

He looked at each other with red eyes, and his tone was indifferent to the extreme.

When Qi Lei saw his face like ashes, a flash of joy flashed in his eyes, and he smiled lightly:

"The ghost king of the underworld, the long night."

Xu Ran: "You arranged all this?" ”

"Yes."

Xu Ran's eyes darkened: "The purpose is to want Li Wuyuan's life?" ”

Long Night Wu shook his head with a smile: "Not exactly. ”

He glanced lightly at the gun in his hand.

"To be exact, I want you to kill her with your own hands."

Xu Ran's body was stunned, and the whole person began to tremble slightly.

Zhang Siyang glanced at Li Wuyuan's corpse in surprise, and suddenly realized: "So...... Didn't she do these things? ”

Long Night Wu: "She is a guilty body, how can she dare to harm others?" ”

"Wearing a sinful body......" Xu Ran was in a trance, and his body tilted slightly, as if he was about to fall down at any time.

Zhang Siyang: "Then the people of your underworld can do whatever they want!" ”

Long Night hooked his lips and said: "The old guy is quite decent, but he is really far from you before." ”

Zhang Siyang was stunned.

"What do you mean by that?"

Long Nightwu didn't seem to want to answer his question.

He smiled casually, and then looked lightly at the brightly lit but very strange Liudao Village.

"Everything here is false, even if I play tricks here, kill people, and destroy the village, in the eyes of the underworld, I am just entertaining myself in an illusion."

Zhang Siyang's heart was in turmoil, and his mind was blank.

"There is no Shipu Town, no Liudao Village, and no things in this world that you think you have experienced."

Long Night Wu said to Zhang Siyang.

Xu Ran said with a dead face: "What do you mean by wearing a sinful body? ”

"Didn't she tell you?" Long Night asked with a smile.

"Oh yes - I forgot to tell you that I have never done these things myself, after all, I have no skills, and the reason why I can make you suspect Li Wuyuan is thanks to this little guy behind me."

He smug in tone, and was about to turn around and reach out to pull another slender shadow out.

"Say me?"

The other party's lazy tone made the smile on his face freeze instantly.
