Chapter 533: Ruins
We slept comfortably that night. ()
We may feel that the so-called beggars are vulnerable, and we don't have much pressure.
The old king made a three-year covenant with us. It's only been half a year now, and we've found the Jizo King. Although it may not seem like his situation is good, it is off to a decent start.
After dawn, we walked out of the hotel in a big hurry.
The streets are bustling, and the sun is shining on people in the early morning, but it is a little warm.
We walked all the way to the south of the city, but we didn't see any beggars.
I asked an aunt who bought breakfast, "Auntie, do you know where to ask for food?" ”
My aunt gave me a strange look, and then hid the reason from the pancake stand. Then he whispered, "Are you a reporter?" Do you want that, what do you call it...... Investigations? ”
I climbed the pole: "yes, we're journalists. ”
The aunt pointed to the park opposite: "There is one at the gate over there." ”
We said thank you and decided to check it out at the park. The aunt stopped us again, and one of us gave us a pancake, with a smile on her face: "Help me publicize the propaganda, hehe." ”
I looked at her pancake stand and nodded with a smile on my face.
At the entrance of the park, there are indeed beggars asking for food.
Inferior stereo plays muffled songs. The beggar, dressed in tatters, lay on the ground and seemed to be asleep.
It's a little strange for me to see that he can fall asleep with such loud music? And how hard is the ground, why does he sleep so calmly?
The abbot said, "Eighty percent of them have given him an injection." At this time, if you kick him, he may not be able to wake up. ”
When I heard this, I sighed. I couldn't help but say: "King Jizo always said before, hell is not empty, swear not to become a Buddha, in my opinion, this world is more terrible than hell, he just crossed the people of the world to the other side first." ”
We sat from afar and watched the beggar, who slept for a full day from sunrise to sunset. By night, there are fewer and fewer people on the streets. The park is also getting more and more deserted.
At this time, a few figures walked in the distance. They looked around, and then carried the beggar into a car. Soon drove away.
The abbot was a little unhappy: "Last night, the old man asked us to follow the beggar, but he didn't say that he had a car." ”
Wushuang said: "There is no way, we can only use the run, fortunately, we are good, this speed is not a problem." ”
That's right, we were pretty good, the car was in front and it didn't throw us off.
But we didn't push too hard, after all, the three running men followed closely behind the speeding car, and the scene was a little too scary.
Half an hour later, the car was parked in an extremely dilapidated neighborhood.
This neighborhood is estimated to be the last remaining urban village in the city.
Half of the house is already darkened. The remaining half is also dilapidated.
The residents here are probably old people who are nostalgic for their homeland. These old people are very old, and their children don't want to stay here, so every few months there are one or two less, and gradually it becomes almost a dead city.
The way out of this kind of place is probably to negotiate a price with the developer later, and then sell it for millions and put it in your pocket.
It is clear that there is no talk yet. So it turned into an eerie ruin.
The car was parked right in front of the ruins. Then the men carried the beggar and went into the urban village.
Garbage was everywhere, covered with a layer of dust, and garbage was thrown on top of the dust. So it feels soft when you step on it.
Although this road is a little disgusting, it has at least one benefit, that is, there is no sound when you step on it.
A few of us followed the people in front of us confidently and boldly until we saw them approaching a small courtyard.
Wushuang and I were about to walk in. But the abbot dragged us. He said suspiciously, "I always think, isn't this going too well?" ”
Wushuang said, "Why are you so suspicious lately. It's just a bunch of gangsters, should we take it seriously? ”
The abbot said, "I always felt that something was wrong with the old man last night. Let's be careful in a moment. ”
Wushuang nodded: "I know, let's go." ”
Then the three of us walked towards the little door.
The small door can no longer be called a door. for most of it is rotten. You can't prevent people at all. Actually, there is nothing to prevent in this kind of place.
We walked in slowly and took a look around the courtyard. It was apparently inhabited, as the yard had clearly been cleaned up, and the broken doors and windows had been nailed.
I pointed to the main room, where the only light was on, and slowly leaned in.
There was an electric light in the house, but there was no one inside.
The abbot sighed: "What about people? ”
I shook my head, "They're supposed to be in this room." ”
I was looking inside when I felt someone touch me on the shoulder.
I shuddered.
He looked behind him suddenly, but there was no one behind him.
My whole body was full of breath, and I was going to check if there was anyone around.
Wushuang saw that I looked like I was waiting for battle, and asked with some worry, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I said, "There's something around. ”
My words made the abbot nervous, and he looked around a little nervously: "Something?" What is it? Where is it? ”
Wushuang asked me, "Are you sure there is something?" How can I not feel it? ”
I said, "I can't feel it either, but it just touched me." ”
The abbot jumped up and down: "It's scary if you can't feel it, it means that this thing is far more powerful than us." ”
Wushuang was obviously calmer than the abbot, she looked at me and asked, "Touched you?" What's the touch? Where did you touch it? ”
I was about to point to my shoulder when suddenly I felt something wipe my head.
I was immediately stunned, and when I looked at Wushuang and the abbot, the two of them also looked at me in surprise.
Then, involuntarily, they raised their heads at the same time.
My eyes glanced upward, and the glance almost scared me to the ground.
On top of my head was a tongue. The tongue hung down from a face. His pale face was suspended in mid-air, his long tongue floating down, swaying from side to side in the wind.
When we saw this thing coldly, our hearts were all chuckling.
But soon, we calmed down, after all, we have seen a big scene, no matter how scary this thing is, we can bear it.
Wushuang threw his peachwood sword up with a flick of his hand. I heard a soft thud, and the thing fluttered down and fell to the ground.
When I picked it up, it turned out to be a grimace mask with a thread hanging from the back of my head.
Presumably, the mask was tied to the tree, and the thread fell off a little, so it was blown by the wind and hit me right on.
After seeing this mask, the abbot was also relieved. said: "No wonder we can't sense it, it turns out to be just a mask." ”
I took the mask and looked at the tree, and said with some confusion, "That's weird." Isn't it sick to hang such a thing on a tree? ”
I left my mask still on the ground and jumped up to the tree.
I looked at the book and found nothing out of the ordinary.
Wushuang and the abbot also followed. Scooped around. Nothing was missing.
Perhaps, the owner of this mask is really a pervert who likes to hang this thing on a tree and scare himself into playing.
I was about to go down when I suddenly felt a pain in the soles of my feet. The body stumbled and fell straight down.
Luckily, I was agile and able to stabilize myself in the air, so I didn't fall, but the impact of more than two meters still made my legs ach.
Wushuang saw that something was wrong with me and asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
I took off my shoes, waved my ankles and said, "Something seems to be holding me." ”
Wushuang said suspiciously, "Really? Although we have conjured up a body, after all, it is different from an ordinary body, will you be afraid of piercing? And even if you prick it, it won't hurt to fall off the tree. ”
I looked at the tree and said, "Maybe it's because I was trying to come down just now, but I happened to get stuck and I couldn't stand steadily." ”
As we were talking, we suddenly heard a scream in the middle of the room.
We glanced at each other and hurriedly ran inside.
Following the sound, we looked and realized that behind a pile of garbage in the corner, there was a half-hidden underground entrance.
