Chapter 32: The Paper Man
"Just as the construction team was preparing for construction, a construction worker fell off the scaffolding and died on the spot......
Xia Xiao paused as she spoke, Shen Qianhua and the others still didn't speak, if it was just because of this, Xia Xiao had no reason to have this expression, it was obviously not simple......
Really......
"After that, people died one after another, all because of various accidents, but strangely...... They died with a very calm expression! Things happened strangely, and people were panicked for a while, so the news of the old man's unjust soul asking for his life spread, and no one was willing to take this job for a while, who wants to joke with his life......"
Shen Qianhua was a little puzzled,
"Then the police must have intervened in this matter, can't it just be left alone?"
Xia Xiao smiled bitterly,
"Why didn't you interfere...... That was my first task, although this kind of accident could not be filed, but I felt that something was wrong, and I wanted to find out, but I was stopped by the master, and the next day I burned some paper money, and I always felt that the master was a little pedantic when he was old, and now it seems that it is not like that ......at all."
Xia Xiao's master is also a legend in the police department, the old criminal policeman has solved countless cases, and his experience is naturally not comparable to Xia Xiao, although now retired, Xia Xiao has also become the leader of the police station, but she can also hear her deep respect for her master from the words......
At this point, Shen Qianhua finally understood the ins and outs of the matter, from the occurrence of many unexplained supernatural events, to the failure to successfully rebuild the Chengnan District, to the wooden plaque that was taken away and what happened to the three of them......
In the end, all the fingers were pointed at one person......
That's the old man's son!
According to Xia Xiao's description, the footage in the surveillance, and the people the three of them saw in the south of the city...... Nine times out of ten, the mysterious hooded man is the son of an old man!
Never left the south of the city for three years! Instead, he lurks in the south of the city with resentment and obsession, brewing a conspiracy to take revenge on everyone!
That is, revenge......
It's also a resentment for everything that has happened before!
Yun Ling and Wu Cheng had both seen the hooded man, and when they heard this, they both understood what was going on, and they were a little silent for a while......
A person's personality is usually related to his experience, there are many people who take risks and are not forced to be helpless, when a person's heart reaches a critical point, it will inevitably reach the point of psychological distortion, ordinary people are still terrible, let alone a person with a strange art......
"So what's next......
Da Fei on the side listened to it for a long time, and finally spoke, probably because he was a retired soldier, Da Fei would not ask so many questions, talk so many truths, he only knew whether to do or not to do, there were not so many whys, and there was not much fear.
Xia Xiao gritted her teeth, she was also a little unwilling to do this, and now Shen Qianhua and the three of them have also made enough additions to her story, as a policeman, since she knows the truth, she can't sit idly by!
"This man is acting treacherously, and our fanfare during the day will inevitably arouse his vigilance, and tonight, only the five of us will go!"
Da Fei naturally had no doubts, Shen Qianhua and Yun Ling also nodded, and Wu Cheng on the side had a bitter face,
"I'm ...... I'm going to die again...... Say yes and add money! If you have a chance to come back...... No point is missing! ”
……
After the five of them had dinner, they began to prepare.
After Wu Cheng suffered the loss last time, he deliberately prepared some more rune paper and brought everything with him.
For the sake of insurance, Shen Qianhua and Yun Ling took out the improved electromagnetic pulse machine, and the volume was reduced a lot, but it was still relatively heavy, of course, the coolies were still Wucheng...... Who made him strong......
……
Night falls.
The south of the city in the darkness of night is even more desolate and terrifying, and the ruins in the distance are like the mouths of monsters lurking in the darkness......
The weather was very good, there was not a trace of wind, a crescent moon hung in the sky, and a faint clear light sprinkled on the waste in the south of the city, adding a little strange atmosphere out of thin air......
The five of them sneaked in by the light of the flashlight, gradually moving away from the residential area on the edge and deep into the center of the south of the city!
"Can you still find the exact location from the illusion that day!"
Xia Xiao stopped, put the flashlight on the ground, and asked in a low voice and seriously.
Yun Ling nodded,
"I'll try!"
Yun Ling groped around with a flashlight, and Da Fei followed closely behind him to protect him.
It was only recently that I discovered that Wu Cheng, the omnipotent and bragging metaphysical master, was actually a road idiot! Shen Qianhua is just not very sensitive to direction...... And Wucheng can't find the north at all!
Therefore, Wu Cheng could only break the back, closely following Xia Xiao, responsible for guarding against emergencies......
And the entire southern area of the city seems to be shrouded in a strange magnetic field, from the time of entering to the present, the compass of Wucheng is turning around, and naturally it is impossible to locate the exact location of the courtyard.
Yun Ling groped for a broken but not fallen wall, and was about to walk forward, when he suddenly found that this wall was faintly familiar......
Yun Ling stopped, turned on the flashlight as close to the wall as possible, so that the light of the flashlight would not be too strong, the blue brick wall was full of dust, the light of the flashlight swept from the wall, and Yun Ling's eyes suddenly froze!
There was a place on the wall where dark green bricks were exposed, and Yun Ling reached out and touched it, compared to other positions, it was unusually clean......
Yun Ling took two steps back and shone a flashlight...... This is...... Traces of climbing!
Shen Qianhua also saw this situation, and his nerves began to tense slowly......
"Found it!"
Yun Ling said nervously in a low voice, he had fallen into the illusion before, and the location of the three people was inside the wall...... And that's where the bald man came in!
"Be careful! Hang on! ”
Xia Xiao ordered, and everyone grabbed the clothes of the previous person with their hands......
Now that I have found a place, it is naturally Wucheng who takes the lead, otherwise others don't understand what prohibition is likely to be triggered!
At this time, even Wu Cheng had to be cautious, at least he didn't even know that he had landed before......
The five of them entered the courtyard, and the light of the flashlight was dimmed.
The interior of the courtyard is large, but not as dilapidated as the outside, as if someone had cleaned it, and the main house and one wall have collapsed, but three walls and some smaller rooms still remain......
This time, everything in front of them was more real, and it seemed that they had not fallen into any illusion, and the nerves of several people gradually relaxed.
Wu Cheng took a glimmer flashlight to shine on the compass in his hand, probing around, and Shen Qianhua also walked cautiously along those uncollapsed walls with a flashlight......
Suddenly, he noticed that there was a small house that looked quite intact, with the doors and windows closed, and the shape was quite ancient, and the paper pasted on the windows was also tattered because of the time.
Shen Qianhua walked to the window and subconsciously took a look at the house, because it was very close...... A miserable white face suddenly appeared in front of me!
The hairs on his body stood up instantly, his nerves suddenly tensed, and the flashlights were thrown out heavily!
Wu Cheng reacted extremely quickly, and hurriedly came over to support Shen Qianhua, and the short wooden sword was also tightly held in his hand!
"What's going on?!"
Wu Cheng asked nervously.
Shen Qianhua gasped, and his hand was a little trembling and pointed to the room......
"There...... Someone! ”
Wu Cheng pushed Shen Qianhua away and let him stand with Yun Ling and Da Fei who rushed over, while he clenched the wooden sword and slowly approached the window......
As soon as the flashlight shone, Wu Cheng stabbed with a wooden sword the moment he saw the miserable white face!
And the miserable white face was stabbed through by Wucheng without moving! Make a rattling sound!
"Huh? This is...... Paper Man! ”
Wu Cheng frowned, withdrew his wooden sword, and took a flashlight into the room......
Paper Man...... It's all paper people!
The room is filled with human-sized paper figurines! Still wearing human clothes!
Although it was said to be a false alarm, the strange scene in front of him still made Shen Qianhua feel cold all over his body......
Wu Cheng frowned tightly, although he didn't know what these paper figures were for, but he knew that there must be something strange with his ass!
"Fire! Did you bring fire? ”
The unknown is the most frightening, and Wu Cheng decided to burn all these paper figures with a fire!
Shen Qianhua and Yun Ling naturally didn't, and Da Fei didn't smoke either, just as Wu Cheng turned around and was about to ask Xia Xiao, his eyes suddenly froze!
Shen Qianhua noticed the change in Wu Cheng's eyes, and hurriedly turned around, and froze the moment he saw Xia Xiao......
It's not that there's anything wrong with Xia Xiao......
It's an extra person behind her body......
A trembling old man, his eyes staring at them tightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a strange arc......
It's the old ghost in the daytime photo!
Xia Xiao was still coming over to see what was going on, when she suddenly saw everyone looking at her with a strange look, it was...... Fear?
Xia Xiao still didn't know anything about the people around her, and thought that something was wrong with her, so she lowered her head and glanced at herself, but she didn't find anything abnormal.
Suddenly......
Xia Xiao's afterglow swept to a corner of her clothes......
Subconsciously turned his head and glanced at it, it didn't matter...... Screamed directly!
The old man's eyes were staring at Xia Xiao, with a weird smile on his face, the latter had already been so frightened by the sudden appearance of the old man that he couldn't walk......
Da Fei had just recovered from the horror, and hurriedly ran forward to pick up Xia Xiao, who was already stiff and couldn't walk, and withdrew!
Da Fei helped Xia Xiao, who was frightened and speechless, who looked at the old man with wide eyes, and then said in a trembling voice:
"He's ...... That one...... Suicide old man! How can it be...... How could it be ......"
A man who had seen his death reappeared in front of him, and the fear that came from the heart was more intense than that of a strange ghost!
Shen Qianhua and the others also guessed that they were not too surprised, but they all stared at the old man vigilantly......
Suddenly......
An abrupt, hoarse voice rang out in the air......
"Suicide? Hehe...... That's what you forced me to do! Since it's here...... Let's not go......"
