Chapter 5 Encountering Evil
"Gao Yao! Sun Yang! ”
I was woken up by a loud knock on the door, and I sat up sweating profusely, with my arms stretched out in front of me.
Nothing.
But the feeling of being eaten alive by countless corpses still enveloped me and made me tremble.
The pain seemed to be still there, and I couldn't wake up for a long time.
"Gao Yao? Sun Yang? The shouts continued.
Outside the door was Zhang Minxiang, and I felt that he was very anxious.
I was the only one in the bed, and Gao Yao was not in the room.
I took a deep breath, stood up and opened the door.
It wasn't dawn yet, and I didn't know what time it was, but the street lights on the site were on again, and at the material warehouse, several workers on duty were drinking and playing poker.
"What's wrong?"
Zhang Minxiang broke in directly. "Where's Gao Yao?" He asked.
I shook my head blankly. "I don't know."
Zhang Minxiang jumped up in a hurry. "You don't know? You slept with you and you don't know where he went? ”
I feel like he's not in the right place. "What's wrong again?"
Zhang Minxiang cried out hysterically. "You haven't woken up? Zhang Jingui just called, and three more workers are missing! ”
The weather was hot, and even at night I felt a burst of heat, but my heart was cold.
"What's going on?"
Zhang Minxiang shook his head vigorously. "I don't know, the police and your boss have gone up the mountain overnight, and you don't know that there was such a noise outside just now?" He asked again, looking at me in surprise.
A terrible speculation gripped me, and I shook my head vigorously to drive it out of my mind, but it became clearer and clearer.
Was that really a dream?
If Zhang Minxiang hadn't woken me up, would I still be standing here now?
Deng Cheng also came in at this time, his face was pale, like a zombie that had been drained of blood.
I grabbed him. "Did you see Gao Yao?"
He shook his head.
I left them behind and ran out, calling Gao Yao's name all the way, but there was no response.
No one saw him in the toilets, in the kitchen, in the cafeteria, and even by the river, where he usually went occasionally.
I ran to ask the workers who were keeping vigil at the material warehouse, which was directly opposite the house of the project department, and it stands to reason that if Gao Yao had ever come out, they should have been able to see him.
But they had no impression of this, and one of them said: "It's just that when it was almost three o'clock, I saw Boss Xie coming out of the room on the phone, and then everyone got up. ”
I made a call to Gao Yao, but no one answered, and when I called the boss, he didn't answer either.
I finally called Zhang Jingui again, and the phone finally got through, and before I could ask, he told me that the mountains were now in chaos.
The eleven workers were all locked up in the same shed, guarded by him and another small contractor, but when he got up to go to the toilet at two o'clock, he suddenly found that three were missing.
His voice was alarmed: "The two of us are sitting at the door, and no one has been out all the time!" But they just disappeared! ”
Holding on to the last bit of hope, I asked, "Is Gao Yao on the mountain?" ”
But this caused him to cry out in horror: "The senior engineer is also missing?" ”
The boss's phone came back immediately, and he asked me what happened to Gao Yao.
I told him that Gao Yao was gone, and he froze for a few seconds and told me to stay in the room and not move anything.
My mind was in turmoil.
Deng Cheng couldn't stand at all, and slowly squatted down, even on such a hot day, he was still shivering with cold.
Zhang Minxiang said with a crying voice: "This is not missing! We've got ghosts, we've got ghosts! ”
This is the only explanation, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why so many people disappeared one after another, and it is even more obvious that all the people who disappeared were the people who participated in the digging of the grave that day.
The three of us waited in the house in despair, and at dawn the boss and the policemen arrived with the remaining eight workers, each with an ugly face.
"Found Gao Yao?" The boss asked as soon as he saw me.
I shook my head weakly, and he took a deep breath.
Section Chief Wang said to the boss: "Boss Xie, I'll avoid it, I don't want to participate in this kind of thing." ”
The boss nodded, and called all the people who participated in the digging of the grave that day and did not go missing into the conference room, and Liu Gong and the director of the owner's project department also came in.
"If you don't want to die, tell me what happened!" The boss's eyes were bloodshot, and the nine people disappeared like this, which was equivalent to a major accident. If there is no explanation, it is difficult to explain.
"It's a ghost!" A worker said with a shudder. "We have destroyed their mansions and corpses, and they have come to take revenge!"
The workers all cried out in panic and chattered.
The boss had a gloomy face and did not speak, but the director stood up. "Don't make a fuss! What the hell is there in this world? Now is the best time to save people, and more people must be mobilized to find them immediately! ”
But when he turned his head, he saw Zhang Minxiang and Deng Cheng's dead faces. "You two are still college students! Believe this too? He shouted angrily.
"Thank you, boss!" He said a little angrily, hoping for support.
The boss turned to Liu Gong and asked, "Liu Gong, are there any masters in the county?" It's good to find one to see, the matter of money is easy to discuss, even if there is no such thing, I am more sure-footed. ”
Only Liu Gong was a local here, he nodded, and regardless of the fact that it was only five o'clock now, he began to call everywhere.
The superintendent angrily stamped his foot out.
The boss said helplessly: "A few of you will stay in this room for the past few days, be vigilant, don't sleep all, and leave two or three people to watch the others." ”
The car pulling the police dog and the car driven by the master arrived at the construction site, and the master obviously knew Section Chief Wang, and the two exchanged pleasantries.
The master looks extremely arrogant, and ignores us little people.
The boss walked over and asked what they meant: "Section Chief Wang, master, what should I do?" ”
"Let's go up the mountain and have a look," the master and Section Chief Wang said at the same time.
The two police dogs were pulled down from the police car, and they were very lively when they just got out of the car, but Section Chief Wang sniffed Wang Dayou and Lao Wan's things for them, and they began to roar wildly at us, and after a few minutes, they suddenly screamed, shrunk their tails and fled to the police car, whining, and couldn't pull it down.
This made my heart more and more gloomy.
Section Chief Wang was a little angry and said to the dog trainer: "What's the matter? ”
The dog trainer was a little aggrieved: "I've never seen this kind of thing!" ”
"They can see those things, they're scared, they're crying." The master's face was a little ugly. "It seems that this thing is not an ordinary evil thing."
"I can't handle this, I'll have to find someone else." As soon as he finished speaking, he got into the car and left, and everyone was stunned by his quick movements, and they didn't even have time to stop him from leaving.
"Master, what's wrong?" The boss hurriedly called him.
"Boss Xie, when this kind of thing happens, I will also make it clear." The boss turned on the speakerphone and everyone heard him. "I can deal with ordinary small things, look at feng shui to move graves or something, it's a big deal to help people call souls, you have to find a professional to do this kind of thing. I'll give you a call, this master is really capable, but the asking price is also high......"
"Aren't you just a professional?" The boss couldn't help but ask.
"I ...... I'm just a mess of food. The master said vaguely. You all be careful, it's better to get together and stop running around. ”
He told the boss a phone number and hung up the phone in a hurry, and I wrote down the number next to me.
Section Chief Wang's face was a little ugly, when he encountered this kind of thing, he couldn't go, and it was not appropriate to stay, probably he didn't know what to do.
The boss immediately dialed the number given by the master, and he didn't know what he said, and finally he hung up the phone and walked back with a gloomy face.
"This Master Lu said that he would rush down from the provincial capital immediately." He said to us. "Let's not be separated, let's all get together."
I don't know how the news got to the hut on the mountain, and the workers began to panic, and a few people who were familiar with me even called me to inquire about the situation, but I was at a loss, what could I tell them?
When it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, I finally saw an off-road vehicle speeding along the mountain road at a very fast speed.
All of us involuntarily stood up to greet them.
"Master Lu......" The boss was the first to go over and say hello.
"Don't be so polite, just call me Lu Lou." A middle-aged man got out of the car, about forty years old, not tall, thin and thin, very much out of the world, and spoke very kindly.
"Where are the people?" He asked as soon as he got out of the car.
"Master Lu, it's all over there." The boss pointed at us and said.
Master Lu looked at us, frowned slightly, took out his Taoist robe and utensils from the car, let a young assistant hold the utensils, put on the Taoist robe himself, and then walked over to us with a compass.
The hands shook wildly.
Everyone's face has changed, and one or two things can still be explained by science and chance, but all things come together, and we can't help but not believe in evil.
Master Lu ...... "The boss immediately stood a little farther away from us.
"It's out of the way, it's daytime, it's still early until dark, and there's a limit to how fierce it is." Master Lu said. "Wait until I go to the mountain to see the destroyed, and it's best to ask someone who was there that day to accompany me up."
But how could anyone dare to approach that grave at this time? Everyone shirked and refused to go up the mountain, and the boss took out 10,000 yuan to offer a reward, but no one dared to lead the way.
I looked around at the people around me and stepped forward.
Zhang Minxiang exclaimed in surprise: "Sun Yang? You don't want to die? ”
I smiled wryly and said, "What's the difference between being here and being in the mountains?" Let the master see the yin hole earlier, maybe we still have a chance to survive. ”
The boss nodded at me, and I didn't have the heart to ask for his money, so I walked directly to Master Lu. "Master Lu, my name is Sun Yang, let's go."
"Sun Yang?" Master Lu looked at me with wide eyes as if he had seen something strange. "Your face...... What is your birthday? ”
I told him the date and time of birth in the Gregorian calendar, and he lowered his head for a while and asked in surprise, "You are the eight characters...... It stands to reason that you should have died a long time ago, how did you survive to this day? ”
His words made me listen to it very uncomfortable, and I was a premature ghost?
But his words reminded me of some of my childhood.
