My name is Raylin Marellian and I am the owner of an antique shop.

Relying on some ancestral craftsmanship and eyesight, he opened a small shop on the ancient culture street of Jinhai, and the name of the store is called Kirin Pavilion.

My small shop is so-so, and the business has been even more difficult in the past six months, and the rent has not been paid for three months, and the landlord has come to the store every now and then to collect debts.

I'm alone, and I usually live in the store.

If I was swept away by my landlord because I couldn't pay my rent, I would be homeless.

Therefore, it is necessary to find a way to get a sum of money in a short period of time.

I heard from my peers that there is a group of people on the market recently, who have a lot of black goods in their hands and are eager to make a move.

The so-called black goods, in the antique circle, refer to antique calligraphy and paintings of unknown origin.

It's because you can't see the light, so the price is very cheap.

As long as you are an expert with discernment, you may be able to pick out a lot of good things from those black goods, low in and high out, won't you make a profit?

So, on this night, I also wanted to try my luck with it.

The trade of black goods needs to be carried out in secret, and the location and specific time cannot be said in advance.

According to the rules, I stood at an agreed intersection and waited, and ten minutes later, a gray van came.

The driver beckoned to me and asked, "How do I get to Xinhua Bookstore in the southeast corner?" ”

This is the agreed code, in fact, Xinhua Bookstore is diagonally opposite the ancient culture street, and fools know it.

I replied, "Jajangmyeon at noon." ”

Well, that's the right code.

The driver of the car looked very fierce, and he asked me to hand over my phone to him before getting into the car.

Handing over my phone, I opened the door and looked up, and saw that there were already five people sitting in the car.

All of them were men, their heads were covered with black cloths, and the atmosphere was quite eerie, as if they were going to the execution ground together.

The driver also handed me a black cloth to put on my head.

I did so, and honestly sat down in an empty seat.

The driver said in a hoarse voice, and said to everyone in a warning tone: "Ladies and gentlemen, we are all seeking money, we can't look around, let alone talk to each other, if anyone breaks the rules, don't blame me for being ruthless and unkind......"

None of the passengers in the car answered, including me.

The driver laughed dryly, started the car, and didn't know which direction it was going.

After driving for more than an hour, the car suddenly made a sharp turn, and then, the car jolted twice and slowed down.

It didn't take long for the car to stop.

I thought to myself: Is it the place to go?!

I couldn't see anything, I could only hear with my ears, and it felt as if the car was driving into a garage because there was no sound around.

Why is it so quiet?!

Why can't the other five passengers even hear the sound of breathing?!

I started to get nervous, and when I was nervous, time passed more slowly, the beads of sweat on my forehead began to roll down my sideburns, and my breathing began to become more and more rapid.

How long will we have to wait?!

I couldn't bear this depression, I coughed quietly, hoping that the people sitting next to me would also make some noise and interact with me, so that I could have peace of mind.

But no, not at all.

When I coughed, I was met with dead silence.

After waiting for a while, I really couldn't help it, and I raised my hand to grab the black cloth off my face.

When I opened my eyes, my heart pounded!!

Because, in the whole van compartment, I was the only one......

Oh my God, this ...... How can it be?!

Even if the five people in the group got out of the car, I could at least hear a little movement, how could it be that everyone was gone, but I didn't notice it at all.

And, strangely enough, looking at it now, the doors are still closed well?!

After componing myself, I slowly got up from my seat and hunched over to look inside the cab.

The meaty-faced driver was gone, and the driver's door didn't seem to have been opened.

I reached into my pocket and reached for my phone, but it was empty.

Only then did I remember that the phone was taken away by the driver before getting into the car.

Fortunately, I had a watch on my wrist, and when I looked at the time, the hands stopped.

I'll go, why is the watch broken at this juncture?!

I felt very oppressed in this compartment and wanted to get out of this small space immediately.

I opened the door of the van and I jumped out.

The headlights were so bright that they could only shine on one wall not far away, but the rest of the place was pitch black.

It's so dark, I don't dare touch it around.

Who knows, what the hell is this place?!

I walked to the front of the car, opened the cab door, and rummaged through everything I could put my own phone, only a bunch of car keys.

Thankfully, there was a tiny flashlight hanging from the keyring.

This flashlight is very compact, so it is perfect for shining a keyhole on the door.

I can't help it, I'll just use this thing for lighting now.

I first looked at my feet, and the ground was a smooth concrete pavement.

After walking a few steps, I found that there were still some yellow lines on the road, which seemed to be demarcated parking areas, and they were also numbered.

Therefore, I speculate that this is most likely a parking lot, an underground parking lot for an abandoned building.

Since it's a parking lot, there must be a relatively large entrance, otherwise the car can't drive in, right?

I felt a little relieved, held up my flashlight, and quickened my pace to find an exit.

But just as I was relaxing, suddenly, a pair of feet appeared in front of me......

It was a pair of feet dangling in the air, just at eye level, and it appeared not far away.

I shuddered, and I narrowly missed it.

Could it be that there are hanged people in here?!

It was so dark that the light from the flashlight could only illuminate a small area, so I gritted my teeth and raised my hand to shine a picture.

Sure enough, three or four meters in front, there was a person hanging in mid-air, standing on his toes and not moving......

I held up my flashlight and shone it up, and it was indeed a person, with his back to me.

When the light hit the man's head, I gasped again.

Originally, I thought it was a man who was hanged here.

Since it's hanging, at least there must be a rope, right?

As a result, I didn't see any rope.

The corpse in front of him was pressed against the ceiling as if a small iron nail had been sucked into the magnet.

This...... Isn't that weird?!

I subconsciously took a few steps back, and felt a kick in the back of my head.

I didn't care about being afraid, so I immediately turned around and shone a flashlight.

Unexpectedly, there was another person behind this, no, a corpse, exactly the same as the movement of the corpse that had been sucked on the ceiling just now.

But this man's face was facing me, and he was staring at me with a pair of terrified eyes......

I collapsed when I landed, not because of how horrible that face was, but because I recognized it.

Isn't this person the driver with a meaty face?!

This person was still flying just now, how could he die here in the blink of an eye?!

I...... Are you dreaming?!

Now I was really panicked, I regretted coming here to buy some black goods, and I just wanted to find the exit as soon as possible and leave this place of right and wrong.

All I could do was speed up and fumble around.

Unfortunately, today's luck is really bad, I decided that the direction was wrong, there was no exit in front of me, only a wall.

However, there is a switch on the wall, which seems to be the switch of the emergency light.

I don't know how long this place has been deserted, whether the emergency lights are still powered, but I have to give it a try.

Push the switch up and be silent for a second or two.

I only heard a clicking sound around me, and there were two or three emergency lights, which were really on.

Apparently the battery was low, the light was blue and dim, and two light bulbs were still flickering desperately, maybe the power would soon run out.

I didn't care about that much, so I looked around and tried to find the exit, and then ran as fast as I could.

However, to my unbelievable ability, I saw six people.

They were all dangling, their feet and hands straight, their heads pressed against the ceiling.

What's even more terrifying is that the faces of those people are slowly turning towards me.

It's not that the neck is turning, but from the top of the head to the center of the circle, and the whole body is turned in unison......

I didn't dare to look at those people, and I quickly looked for the exit with my eyes, and there was a small door about a hundred meters away from me.

I didn't hesitate to run over, but when I was halfway there, all the emergency lights went out at once.

Even though the actual distance was only forty or fifty meters away, I still felt that there was no end to it, especially because it seemed that there were many things chasing me behind me.

After passing through that little gate, it wasn't an exit because I crashed into a bus......

I gasped for breath and held up my flashlight to shine behind me, but fortunately the corpses didn't chase after me, maybe it was just my own psychological effect.

There was indeed a bus in front of me, with a white roof and a dark red body, in the old style of the seventies and eighties.

But why is there a bus here?!

The car door, maybe I hit it, the switch was broken, and it "creaked" and opened.

Out of curiosity, I looked inside, and there was no one.

Sadly, I didn't look up at the roof of the old bus.

Suddenly, I felt some subtle and ambiguous light seem to be coming down from above, and when I looked up, the result was ......

Oh my God?!

It's really hard to describe in words, it can only be described as an extremely terrifying picture......

“…… Yes!!! ”

I couldn't help it, I just yelled loudly.

Because, on the roof of the bus, there was a human body, like a giant gecko, face down, with its eyes closed, motionless, as if asleep.

And around that person's body, there was a ball of light, the size of a ping-pong ball.

The ball of light emits a faint light, and it slowly changes color, like a biolight like a firefly.

The ball of light spun and on, sometimes entering the person's mouth, and then being spit out again, and so on.

For some reason, this scene reminds me of the scene of the old fox's alchemy in Liaozhai!

When I looked closely at the man's body through the light of the ball of light, I was startled again.

He was unclothed, and his skin was like a crawl of pink worms that resembled earthworms.

Countless insects were wriggling, as if repairing the skin and muscle tissue of the human body.

From head to toe, the places where the worms have been wriggled and repaired have taken on a pink and tender skin like a baby's skin.

Perhaps, feeling the breath of the living, that person's eyes suddenly opened widely!

The eyes of the black hole seemed to be filled with great anger.

A pair of eyeballs are all black, and there is no whites at all.

The ball of light that surrounded the strange human body seemed to have spotted me, too, as it was suspended in mid-air, and it had stopped moving.

Oops, was discovered!!

Just when I was overwhelmed, a powerful force rushed towards my body!

I didn't stand still, and I fell to the ground on my back.

I was really nervous, I just wanted to run away right away.

But the more this happened, the ball of light rushed towards me at a speed that was invisible.

I tried to dodge, but I couldn't, and I watched as the ball of light hit my head with a loud bang.

Bang......

At that time, I felt as if I had been struck by a powerful high-voltage electric current, and my body was knocked out of the way, and my whole body instantly lost consciousness......
