Chapter Twenty-Four: The Sands of Dusk
The sun has almost completely set, and the night is quietly approaching, and the sky is purple at this time, which looks magnificent and mysterious. A little girl's cry suddenly came from a distance, and although it was intermittent, it reached everyone's ears.
"What's going on? Is there anyone else in the park at this time? Xiao Shen said to the camera, and he didn't know if he was asking his companion or preparing to set up suspense for the audience.
The five of them followed the sound, and when they had not walked long, they found a lonely little girl, who looked to be only four or five years old, sitting there on a bench by the roadside, sobbing and sobbing.
"It's a lost child." Da Zhou said: "How do people become parents now, they don't know if their children are lost, and the parks are closed." ”
Azan had already walked over at this time: "Little friend, are you lost?" ”
The little girl raised her head and glanced at Azan and the friends behind him, she was not frightened by the outfit of these guys who looked like ghost catchers, but her cry was quieter, and nodded silently.
Azan shrugged and looked back at the other four: "I'll take her out and hand her over to the janitor, let him contact the police, and I'll be back in ten minutes." ”
The other four didn't have any opinions, and Arnie said, "You can go directly to the 'Haunted Swing' and find us." ”
So Azan squatted down and said to the little girl, "Little friend, will your uncle take you to find your parents?" ”
The little girl looked up at him again: "I can't walk anymore, my uncle carries me." ”
Azan didn't find anything strange about the request, so he turned around, picked up the little girl on his back, said hello to his companions, and walked briskly towards the exit of the park.
Xiao Shen said at this time: "This section was not recorded, right?" ”
The rest of the people replied: "It was interrupted just now, anyway, if you want to cut it, let's save the film and batteries." ”
William saw the whole process in his eyes, and he could clearly see with his spiritual vision that the "little girl" was not what it looked like on the outside...... So he had to temporarily abandon the four members of the commando team and chase after Azan.
Wang Xu watched what was happening from a long distance with his unique ability to perceive everything in the world, and couldn't help but sigh: "What a bunch of idiots...... There are four camera devices, but they are turned off at this time, and the lenses can show 'it' for what it really is, and you don't shoot when you need it most. ”
In order to prevent accidents, he had no choice but to follow Azan and William together, thinking: What am I? What I earn is the money I make from selling cabbage, and I the heart of selling white/powder.
"Little friend, I didn't expect you to be so heavy." Azan was walking briskly, but he didn't expect that with such a child on his back, he would be exhausted and out of breath before he reached the gate of the park.
The little girl did not respond to him, did not say a word, and lay firmly on Azan on his back, like some kind of parasite.
Azan only felt that the weight behind him was getting heavier and heavier, and in this autumn evening, he began to sweat, still in a cold sweat.
"What's going on? How far is the gate of this park? He wondered in his heart, he had been walking along this road for a long time, why did there seem to be no end ahead? The surrounding scenery makes him feel that he is always wandering in the same place......
Suddenly, a young man appeared in Azan's line of sight, getting closer and closer.
"You wait." William stopped Azan down.
Azan was blocked by him, very strange, and asked, "Friend, who are you?" Why are you still in the park at this time? ”
William threw out his ID with a posture that can only be found in police movies, probably because this was the first time he had impersonated the police, so as soon as he showed his perjury, he immediately took it back, and Azan basically didn't see what he threw out......
"I'm a police officer, and my surname is Li." William said: "You are from the TV station, I know you." ”
"Oh, Officer Li, hello, hello, you're just in time." As soon as Azan heard that the other party was a policeman, he said that he had also shown his "ID" just now; Immediately let down her guard: "This little girl ......"
Before he could finish speaking, William continued: "I know, lost, his parents went to the police station to report the crime, and the police station sent me here to take a trip." ”
"I see, I said why the park is closed and the police are here." The only doubt in Azan's heart was completely dispelled, and William's explanation seemed reasonable, judging his age, he was the kind of little policeman who had just graduated from the police academy, and it was normal for him to come here to run errands and find lost children.
"Then Officer Li, if I don't hand over the child to you here, we are still recording a show there."
"Okay." William took the little girl from Azan and carried it on his back.
The little girl didn't behave or react at all, as if she were just a parasite in a different nest.
Azan exchanged a few words of unnutritious nonsense with William, and then trotted away, suddenly feeling full of energy and light, as if the tiredness he had just felt had never existed.
William watched Azan out of his sight, then turned around and walked unhurriedly. He didn't go in the direction of the park gate, because he knew that there was only one way for him to go, and it would be futile to go anywhere else except in that direction, even if he walked for a day and a night, tired to death, he was just standing still.
After a short time, William walked to the children's playground in the park, and the little girl behind him suddenly said, "Big brother, you are in the wrong place." ”
William continued walking: "That's right, I'm not sending you home. ”
"Don't go there." Her voice grew cold, as if she were giving orders.
William felt his back sink, and the tremendous pressure made him stagnate. Slowly turning his head, an earthy yellow face was looking at him against the back of his neck.
William fixed his eyes, not only the face, but the little girl's whole body was this color, and "it" was expanding. In the end, its hair and clothes all turned into this kind of mud and sand, the weight was surprisingly heavy, and the whole thing was a huge mud and sand monster adsorbed on William's back, the eyes of the black hole were the size of the mouth of a bowl, and two points of yellow light were its pupils, and it was looking at William at this time: "Don't go there, get out of here!" ”
William ignored her and continued to walk into the children's playground, aiming for the bunker, of course.
"Stop! I don't want to go back! "The sand doll's voice was dull and eerie.
William was about to be crushed, if it weren't for the shallow spiritual power still supporting him, I'm afraid he would have fallen to the ground a long time ago. However, he still managed to get closer to the bunker with difficulty, and the distance was less than ten meters.
The sand doll's hand reached forward and strangled William's neck, solidifying like cement, and tightening it tighter and tighter, William felt that he was about to suffocate, and he was losing consciousness, and he tried his best to hold on to the place where he was only a few steps away from the bunker, and he finally collapsed to the ground.
"Ahh The sand doll suddenly screamed, and a little dust fell from William's fall, which spilled right into the bunker. Then, as if activated by some force, the bunker became a whirlpool with a huge suction force, dragging the sand doll inward.
The monster seemed to have lost its ability to entangle others at this moment, and was pulled away from William's back, eventually disappearing into the sand pit, turning into ordinary sand.
"Huh...... Haahh......" William rolled over, his chest heaving violently, and he breathed in the air he hadn't seen for a long time. "It's almost over."
Wang Xu appeared at this time: "This is the children who came to play in the park, dolls made out of sand and water during the day. The children will eventually leave, and it will disappear into the sand pit after a night, and it will be the most resentful at dusk, so it can turn into a child and come out to harm others. He touched his chin and reasoned: "It's just very strange, the aura in this park is not very strong, why is there such a foreign object to give birth to ......"
William got up and said, "Then how to deal with this?" ”
Wang Xu replied: "It is enough to dispel the resentment and aura attached here. He reached out and grabbed the space, and a yellow rune paper appeared as if by magic, which was obviously imitating Wei Chi's ability to materialize.
"The sun is clear and the moon is bright, calling for wind and rain, Zhou Tian Xingdou, listen to my orders, break!" Wang Xu chanted it like a stick, and pointed his two fingers together towards the sand pit.
Nothing happened......
William stiffly turned his neck to look at him: "Okay? ”
Wang Xu stared at the sand pit for two seconds, then put his hands on his back, as if he was a master: "Okay." ”
"That'...... I'm going to go to that swing and find the paranormal commandos......"
"Go, go, go." Wang Xu waved his hand, signaling him to take it easy.
William shrugged his shoulders and ran towards the park.
When he completely left his sight, Wang Xu's expression changed to a puzzled look, and he stared at the sand pit and said to himself, "My incantation is ineffective? ”
This thing is a bit unbelievable, lack of spiritual power? Impossible; Mispronounced the word? I can't; Character problems? Don't think about it......
Wang Xu thought for a long time, puzzled, and at this moment, his mobile phone rang. Wang Xu's ringtone has been changed to the Xiongji RAP ghost animal version, which sounds quite emotional.
"Hello?"
"Wang Xu, it's me, Er."
"You're busy, what's the matter?"
"Is William with you?"
"yes, we're removing spirits in L Park, but he's not with me right now."
Elbert apparently paused for two seconds: "Oh, two things. First of all, there is a man named Wen Yu who came to the office today to find William. ”
Wang Xu's eyes rolled: "I guess...... In her conversation with the police, she mentioned that she was rescued by a young man named William, because William is the son of the former deputy director, and his name is declining, so a police officer knows him, and finally his identity was found out by Wen Yu. ”
"Good reasoning, that's it. Wait a while to say hello to William, I left his mobile phone number to Wen Yu, and she said that she would personally thank William. ”
Wang Xu said: "Got it, what about the second thing?" ”
Elbert's tone became serious: "I just watched the news, just this afternoon, a female student of the same age as Wen Yu was found dead under a bridge, the cause of death was exhaustion and dehydration, you must know that there is a river next to the bridge......
She had disappeared four days earlier, was found wearing the clothes she wore at the time, and had been dead less than twenty-four hours ago. Do you think this is related to the powerful ghost that Wen Yu met who could use the "Ghost Realm"? ”
Wang Xu thought for a while: "It sounds like the same technique, could it be that the ghost did it before he met us......"
Elbert suddenly said, "Wait, which park do you say you are in now?" ”
"Park L, what's wrong?"
On the messy desk in front of Elbert was a map of the city of S that they often used in their office, and his eyes moved to it at the moment: "I found something very strange, maybe it's a coincidence......
"Tell me about it."
"The cemetery where you rescued Wen Yu, the bridge where the missing schoolgirl died, these two places are exactly the same distance to L Park from the map, symmetrical from north to south."
Wang Xu's heart was shrouded in an ominous cloud, and he seemed to have caught some clue, but it was like a faint candle flame in the darkness.
"Er, you contact the cat master, tell him about this, and tell him one more thing." Wang Xu recounted: "I found an unusual sand pit in the park, but it was ineffective to dispel it with the Guigu Dao technique. ”
Elbert said, "Okay, is there anything else?" ”
"It's better to hurry, I have a bad premonition, and I vaguely feel that something big is going to happen."
"Understood, be careful yourself." Elbert Road.
"That's it for now." Wang Xu hung up the phone.
Looking up, it was already dark, and he calmed down, unleashed his spiritual sense and perception, and spread out, carefully observing everything in this park. Everything is in his heart, even if the fallen leaves fall to the ground, the dead cicadas break their cocoons, the fish swimming at the bottom of the lake, and the shadows of the trees are slightly slanting. The wind and grass are all under Wang Xu's eyes, and they are even more vivid and thorough than seeing them with their own eyes.
Of course, all he could feel ...... And the souls of six people, and their living heartbeats.
