Chapter Twenty-Three: Hidden Murder
And Shen Mengyun's call came after that, but at that time, Song Qingshu and Zhang Cheng got on the boat, and the signal was not good, so they didn't receive her reminder.
Once in the warehouse, the chill quickly swept in. After all, there is a large amount of frozen seafood stored here, and the temperature is extremely low, and the two of them do not plan to stay here for a long time, they just want to see if there will be any clues at the scene where the body was found at that time.
Song Qingyun looked at his watch, it was already 23:20 in the middle of the night, and the deceased Zhao Qiren was killed at about this time. The two of them walked around the warehouse and found that there were no items in the warehouse except for some containers.
Zhang Cheng was a little strange: "Brother Song, it is written in the information that the fishing boat did not dock with the shore for the transportation of goods that night, why did Zhao Qiren come to the warehouse in the middle of the night." ”
"Indeed, if you want to talk about the scene of the crime, you should think that it should be in his dormitory." Song Qingyun also noticed that something was wrong: "Could it be that he has something to do behind the back of others......
As he spoke, he paced to himself somewhere else. And Zhang Cheng has been silent, after hearing Song Qingyun's words, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he really seemed to have some ideas.
"Brother Zhang, what do you see piled up here?" Song Qingshu couldn't help but feel a little strange when he saw some white foam boxes piled up in the corner of the warehouse.
In many serious situations, people don't have the heart to speak when analyzing key issues. Zhang Cheng was the same, he didn't hear Song Qingshu's words at all, and when he was thinking, he took out his mobile phone, carefully flipped through and began to look at those bloody and terrifying photos.
Sure enough, after looking through a few photos, he suddenly noticed something in the picture.
Zhang Cheng's hands kept zooming in on the image, and his gaze was fixed on the corpse, where there seemed to be an unusual piece of paper.
"Yes, Brother Song, look here......" Zhang Cheng excitedly held up his mobile phone, wanting to call Song Qingyun.
It was at this time that the mutation took place.
"When I turned around, Zhang Cheng had already fallen to the ground and was motionless." Song Qingyun recalled the scene at that time: "He was holding a broken piece of jade in his hand. He spread out his palm and displayed the broken jade in front of Shen Mengyun. This is a piece of blood jade, it can be seen that the quality is extremely rare, the jade pendant can be vaguely seen around the faint red light, the whole jade is as if soaked in blood, the color is transparent, and it feels valuable when you look at it.
And after seeing the things in Song Qingyun's hand, Shen Mengyun's face changed wrong. She got up, took the broken jade, and muttered to herself, "Impossible...... This, isn't this Brother Zhang's most powerful prop, Soul Devouring Jade? ”
Originally, they obtained this item during a mission related to tomb robbing. And this piece of jade has always been in the mouth of the corpse in the ancient tomb, but anyone who approaches the corpse will end up with a tragic death. Later, through a series of investigations, everyone found that there were no ghosts in the mission, and it was a curse that killed people, and the culprit was the blood jade in the corpse's mouth.
Lu Qing also said before that among all the tasks, in addition to random supernatural events, the most terrifying is the curse mission.
This kind of task is extremely difficult, almost unsolvable, even though the fourth district was the strongest at that time, but that mission still suffered heavy casualties, and the last survivor was only Zhang Cheng.
The blood jade that he pulled out of the corpse's mouth with all his might was naturally a terrifying curse prop. The ability of this piece of blood jade is even more powerful than some regional items, and although it is imprisoned by space and weakened, it can still devour the resentment of ghosts and the living. Although it cannot fully absorb the ghosts, it can also deal some damage to them.
Such an anti-natural function naturally has great side effects.
This piece of blood jade is activated by sucking people's essence and blood vitality, and in order to make it useful, the holder must sacrifice himself in order to drive the item. Each time it is activated, it will cause great damage to the wielder itself, and this damage is irreversible.
To put it simply, even if you return to space, you can't repair the trauma suffered by the user.
Therefore, after Zhang Cheng used it once, he never used this piece of blood jade again.
However, last night, he actually used this piece of blood jade! What kind of ghost will make Zhang Cheng sacrifice this last trump card? Moreover, after using the Blood Jade, the item itself was also destroyed.
"Brother Song, it shouldn't be, if there is really a powerful ghost, why don't you notice it?" Shen Mengyun suddenly remembered this detail. Song Qingshu is not an idle person, whether it is his mind or skills, he can be regarded as a leader in the space. How could he not react to the movement behind him in that situation last night?
"I don't know...... I really, I didn't feel anything......" Song Qingshu said guiltily.
Shen Mengyun looked at him, thinking that the other party might have been too focused on the things in front of him at that time, so he would be distracted for a short time. But if not, then the ability of this powerful ghost is probably already powerful beyond their imagination.
Thinking of this, Shen Mengyun suddenly became nervous. It's been the third day of the mission, and it's impossible for the ghosts to stand still. I'm afraid that there will be new dangers in the future. So, she immediately walked out of the bedroom and said to Song Qingshu: "This matter must be told to the captain, it seems that we have underestimated the ability of the powerful ghosts in this mission." ”
Song Qingshu nodded: "Mengyun, you can talk about this, I have to guard Brother Zhang, he became like this in order to save me." ”
Shen Mengyun looked at Zhang Cheng, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and let out a faint sigh. Now she knows why the other party has become like this, it must be that when she was using the props last night, because of the blood jade, most of her essence blood was sucked away.
If you're unlucky, maybe after Zhang Cheng, you won't be able to wake up again. Even if you go back to the space, wait until the next mission......
Shen Mengyun didn't say anything, she didn't want to see the other party end up like this. So, she could only comfort Song Qingshu: "It's okay, Brother Zhang will rest for a day or two, maybe he will wake up." ”
"Right...... You're right...... He'll be fine. Song Qingshu's eyes were bloodshot, and he muttered and repeated this sentence in his mouth, as if he was praying for the other party, and it seemed like self-comfort.
Shen Mengyun left the room, planning to go to Lu Jie first and report the situation last night clearly. She walked to the elevator and pressed to go upstairs.
"Ding"
As the elevator doors slowly opened, two men appeared in front of her. And the face of one of them is all too familiar to Shen Mengyun - "You are...... The third district? ”
