Chapter Forty-Seven: Punching the Sky
After discussing it, we decided to move as quickly as possible, because now there are no more people in the four of us who are afraid of the sun (Rujun is not afraid of the sun because of the special constitution of the fusion of humans and ghosts), and the night is a good opportunity for the ghosts to act, in order to avoid the King of Dragons and his allies, we decided to march in the direction of Garuda's stronghold during the day.
The situation in the west has remained unchanged for thousands of years. Although the underworld of Sijiu City has experienced catastrophe after catastrophe, the west seems to be completely unaffected, and now it still looks peaceful.
The Dragon King's plan for revenge doesn't seem to be going through, or it's been shelved for some reason, or he's been carried out somewhere we haven't found out, and we haven't heard anything about it now.
The time we arrived around the Garuda stronghold was around five o'clock in the afternoon. After a while it was dark, and we could find the whereabouts of Garuda's men.
And where we are now happens to be a street park, where Chen Xiaoqing and Bai Yanshan met before.
Coming here, my mood inexplicably became very heavy, although I had never liked Bai Yanshan very much before, but when I thought of Bai Yanshan's feelings for Xiaoqing, I was always a little lost in my heart, and I was always a little uncomfortable.
Rujun understood my feelings, and she gently put her hand on my shoulder. said in a low voice: "It's okay, we'll give Bai Yanshan justice." ”
While the sky was still bright, we found the entrance to the Garuda stronghold, and I clearly remember the last time I infiltrated here, I also met the third grandfather, saw Mengyun's frozen body, and asked for a password "Winter is coming, and the blizzard is hitting the city".
I don't know if there are any Garuda men in this stronghold after this battle, but there should be none.
Because I was familiar with the place, I was the first to take the lead in this place that resembled the entrance to a subway station, and it was dark inside, with a flashlight in my mouth. The process of getting in was tough.
After entering, the iron door inside was locked, and the old cat was very solid for the sliding door to pick the lock, and the iron door was pried open by dividing by two.
Looking at the deep dark space inside, the old cat asked in a low voice, "Was it the same last time you came?" ”
I shook my head: "No. It was much more gloomy than it was at this time, and it seemed that now this stronghold had been transferred, and either there were no Garuda people left, or there were not many left. ”
Rujun also nodded and said: "Although there is yin qi, it is not thick, even if there are powerful ghosts, there are no more than ten, and the level is not too high." ”
We were relieved to hear this. Now putting aside my golden realm, Rujun has reached the point of returning to the basics, so even if Lao Xie comes forward, he may not be Rujun's opponent, so we can say that he has no fear.
I walked in front and walked along the familiar route towards the front, the road here is very cumbersome, nine twists and eighteen turns, not to mention a terrible ghost, even a living person can easily hide here, so we have to be very careful.
The old cat followed me as a think tank, Rhubarb stood in third, and Rujun, as an important person with the strongest combat effectiveness we have now, naturally stayed behind and swept the formation.
The old cat whispered: "I don't know why, I always feel that there is a lot of yin here, and there is always an eerie feeling, as if something bad has happened......"
After a long period of experimentation, I learned that the old cat's intuition is very keen, so of course the old cat's words were not ignored by me.
"You say...... Is it possible that there are still some traps left here? I asked in a low voice, "Garuda has withdrawn, but they must have known that the enemy would come here to investigate, so what trap did they leave behind?" ”
I asked, as I walked towards the corner in the distance, the tunnel was not enclosed, so there was often a yin wind blowing in my face, which made my face numb and cold.
Now I'm not a ghost, so I'm more sensitive to these gloomy things, this cold winter wax moon, although the temperature underground is a little higher, but the wind inside is very cold. Circumferential joints.
The old cat whispered, "I don't know, anyway, I think this side ...... Hey? Lin Yang, look! ”
As he spoke, the old cat's flashlight knew a long strip of soft something floating out of the corner, which was like a piece of cloth, and there was still hair on it, and it flew around, scraping out from the side of the corner......
I swallowed and spat, trying to calm myself down, I'm used to seeing too many ghost scenes, this simple long strip won't do anything to me, but to be on the safe side, I still whispered, "Get ready to fight!" ”
Old Cat, Rhubarb, and Rujun, the three of them instantly entered a state of combat readiness, while I walked towards the corner! 、
At this moment, there was a sudden gust of wind, and I saw a black shadow rushing towards my face from the other side of the corner! I watched this dark shadow coming, subconsciously took a step back, and suddenly saw the face of a person who had rotted!
I couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman, because his face was so rotten that it had lost its contours, and one of his eyeballs was especially visible in his pupils, and he was looking at me as if he were dead!
Even after a lot of battles, my heart rate suddenly increased, and it had nothing to do with experience or courage, it was purely a human physiological reaction.
Rhubarb and the old cat were also so frightened that they couldn't speak, but Rujun took a deep breath and continued to pay attention to the situation in the rear.
I calmed down and saw the shadow for what it really was.
This should be a man, a man in a green down jacket, and the hairy "strip of cloth" that was just blown by the wind is his scarf, and this man has a rope around his neck, tied to the ventilation duct on the ceiling around the corner, and looks like he has been dead for a long time.
It's winter now, and it takes a certain amount of time for the corpse to decompose, and it takes a long time to decompose into such a terrifying look, so this guy must have been dead for more than a day or two.
I sighed silently, looked up at the man, and said, "Who is he?" Why did you die here? ”
The old cat put on his gloves and skillfully rummaged through the inside of the man's down jacket pocket and pulled out an ID card.
The man was born in seventy-seven years, originally from Hebei, and his name was ordinary, and he passed it around, and none of the four of us knew him, nor did we see anything special about him.
The old cat shook his head and said, "I don't see anything wrong, I don't know if he was killed or committed suicide......"
Rhubarb pointed to the man's feet: "If you hang yourself, you have to set up a stool or something, right?" ”
I thought differently than they did, for four horrible words popped into my head, and to prove my own thoughts wrong, I turned the corner and looked behind the man.
However, as I walked around the corner, I was completely dumbfounded, and my throat suddenly seemed to be choked because I saw something I didn't want to see......
The man wasn't the only one who died here, there was a large space behind him, and the exhaust pipes above those spaces were full of people hanging from them......
There were not thirty but twenty of these people, and their bodies had begun to rot badly, and they were constantly swinging here like death wind chimes under the cold wind.
I watched with sadness, heartbreak at watch, but a feeling of horror also permeated my whole body.
Rhubarb clenched his fists fiercely and whispered, "What the hell is this...... What the hell is going on?! ”
The old cat is a professional yin person, although he often deals with supernatural death scenes, but such a scene that can even be called "slaughter" The old cat has not seen it, such a terrifying picture brings not only shock, but also the despair of death.
Rujun clenched his silver teeth, trembled all over, and whispered, "Who would be so ruthless?" ”
I lowered my head and said four words hatefully: "The ghost movement, I should have reminded everyone a long time ago, this is the ghost movement that has been circulating for a long time......"
These four people came out of my mouth, and I suddenly felt like sharp knives cutting my tongue and lips, the ghost movement, whoever started such a movement, I will definitely make them pay!
