Chapter Seventy-Six: Caught Up

Now it's just me and Officer Chen, and the two of us don't have anything to say, which is embarrassing. He took out a cigarette: "Xiao Liu, do you know how to smoke?" ”

How could I ask him to toast the cigarette, and hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, Uncle Chen, please do it." ”

Officer Chen looked at the rolling mountains in the distance, and asked me without looking back, "Xiao Liu, what do you think about this matter?" ”

My palms were sweaty, and I muttered, "I don't know what to do, it's scary anyway." ”

"Well, it's scary. So that's it? "He's asking me and he's asking himself.

"So be it." I said, I originally expected the police to protect me, but now I can't rely on it. I can only find a way by myself, but I really can't do it, I have to go to Ma Danlong.

At this time, Peng Gang ran over from nowhere: "I'm looking for you everywhere, so it's here." "He looked at us unnaturally and asked what was going on.

I patted him, "I'll talk about it later." ”

I asked him how his mother was. Peng Gang said that it was no big deal, but he was stimulated, and he just had to rest for a while. We walked back together, Peng Gang looked at Officer Chen in front, he lowered his voice and said, "Lao Liu, my father has a letter." ”

"Oh?" My eyes widened, "Where is he?" ”

"Be quiet. My dad just called me. ”

I looked at him, as if I had a faint premonition, and my heart was pounding.

Peng Gang said: "My father didn't know how that you were with me, and he asked me to tell you, saying that he was looking for him, and he would go to ......."

"Where?"

"Lao Liu, do you remember that I once told you that my father's former company's office building had a strange basement?"

"yes, yes."

"My dad said he was waiting for you in the basement and told you to go alone."

It's finally here.

I looked at him, and Peng Gang hurriedly said: "Of course I won't let you go by yourself, I will accompany you, and I am also responsible for this matter." I didn't expect my dad to become so weird. ”

I was so confused that I managed to compose myself and asked him, "Aren't you going to show me his paintings?" ”

"Oh, yes." Peng Gang took out a sealed transparent bag from his satchel, and inside was a pencil drawing of graffiti. I didn't take the painting because the first time I saw it, I was already stupid.

How to describe this painting, I only have two words in my head: epic. The background of the painting is not discernible in the specific date, but in the distance, high mountains, a huge city billowing black smoke, broken walls, and howling winds, very much like the miserable scene after a large-scale war. The most eye-catching thing is that the open space in front of the city is densely crawling with people. There are men and women, old and young, it's really hard for people to paint, these hundreds of thousands of people, the expression of every face is so vivid. All of them were naked, crawling on the scorched earth, each face distorted, painful, and even numb. The sky was filled with snowflakes, and the white snowflakes and the black dust formed by the burning of the city were mixed in the sky, forming a strange landscape, desolate and solemn, full of misery.

The subject of the painting is not the ant-like crowd, but two people standing on a high place looking down. Both of them were wearing black tweed coats, with their hands behind their backs, and the corners of their clothes dancing in the wind, and they looked at the crowd below with a majestic attitude. The two looked at each other sideways, talking and laughing, quite a bit of a feeling of taking everything as a dog. Intuitively, this painting does not seem like a scene from history, because I can feel that it is a scene of an unearthly world.

When I saw this painting, I seemed to be able to hear the painful cries of the people in the painting, and my resentment was so deep that my heart was very blocked, like a thousand catties of boulders. I stared at the painfully distorted faces, and my voice was hoarse: "Where am I?" ”

Peng Gang tapped with his finger: "You are here." ”

I was stunned, the two characters who pointed out the country, one is Brother Peng, and the other is me!

Peng Gang looked at me: "What's going on?" ”

I smiled bitterly: "How do I know the way." ”

I was chilled, my head was dizzy, and I almost collapsed, but fortunately Peng Gang held me up. He looked at me worriedly: "Lao Liu, if you really can't do it, let's call the police." My dad wasn't the guy I knew anymore, and we didn't have to risk our lives. ”

I waved my hand, and the police couldn't handle this matter at all. Instead of letting Brother Peng stare at it like this, it is better to make it clear.

"He didn't say when I was going to go?" I asked.

"Tomorrow night." Peng Gang said.

Saying goodbye to him, on the way back, there was a long way, and I didn't take the car. I walked slowly in the cold wind, thinking about Brother Peng's painting over and over in my head. What does that mean exactly? What does Brother Peng want to do?

It's really a headache to think, and when I see him tomorrow, I won't know everything. I looked up at the gray sky, and I felt very uncomfortable, and I still had a low-grade fever.

Could that be my death? The end of it all.

I took out my phone and thought about it, and called Li Yang.

"Yo, Lao Liu, remember to call me. It's harder for you to invite than Zhuge Liang now, what kind of wind blew you here today? Li Yang laughed.

"Li Yang, I'm at the funeral home now."

He heard that my voice was serious, and gasped, "What are you doing there?" ”

"I can't say a word. I just want to ask you, where is Ma Danlong now? ”

Li Yang said: "I can't find him. The last time he helped Damin summon spirits, he left after recruiting people. He is a master in the world, his whereabouts are uncertain, and he has no place to find it. ”

"Didn't leave a phone?"

Li Yang said that he did not stay. I think about it, anyway, I know his address, and I will go to the gaucho community to find him in a while.

"Hey, hey, what the hell is going on?" Li Yang asked.

I sighed and recounted the story briefly. Li Yang is more knowledgeable than me, and he may be able to come up with some good countermeasures. Li Yang gasped again and again when he heard this: "Damn, Lao Liu, it's so interesting." Do you need me to accompany you tomorrow? ”

"No, you don't." I vaguely feel that since Brother Peng dared to let me go, it means that he must have some preparations, so why drag unrelated people into the water.

Li Yang said: "Wait a minute, Damin is by my side." ”

Immediately after that, the voice on the phone changed, and it was very low: "Lao Liu, it's me, Li Damin." ”

After a few days of painting with him, I didn't see him in between. I coughed lightly: "Are you okay?" ”

Li Damin said: "It's good. We don't need to say hello. If you repeat the autopsy you just did, you must be detailed. ”

I had to say it again.

Li Damin said: "This is bone extraction and fetal replacement. ”

"Yes. You thought of it too. ”

Li Damin said: "That person surnamed Peng is probably going to use your bones to do some evil magic. How careful you are! I'm a waste person now, I can't help much, if I need to, call Li Yang to go. ”

"No, I don't. Brother Peng is very evil, and Li Yang went to fill it in as cannon fodder. If you really want to help me, contact Ma Danlong as soon as possible, and he is the only one. ”

"Okay, that's it, take care."

The phone hung up. I looked at the endless road in the distance and let out a long sigh of relief.

I took a taxi on the side of the road and rushed to the Gaoqiao community as soon as possible, and with my memory, I finally found Ma Danlong's residence. But the iron door was closed, and there was a heavy lock on it. I jumped to the door on a brick and looked through the window.

There were a lot of old newspapers pasted on the window, and I couldn't see the inside clearly. I managed to find the gap and squinted in. The house was empty, the house was surrounded by walls, there was nothing, garbage everywhere, and it was very desolate. There was a yellow thing on the ground, and if I looked closely, it turned out that the Taoist talisman hanging on the lintel to ward off evil spirits had fallen, and I swallowed my saliva when I saw it.

The light in the room was extremely poor, and with such a Dao talisman, it felt an eerie chill.

I was watching, and suddenly someone behind me shouted, "What are you doing?" ”

When I turned around, I saw an old lady coming out to pour dirty water. I hurriedly said, "Eldest sister, I'll rent a house and take a look." ”

The old lady's face changed, she looked left and right, and whispered, "Young man, don't rent a house here." This, this house is not clean. ”

"Huh?" I looked back at the room through the glass and got goosebumps. Hurry up and jump back on the bricks.

The old lady said: "It is said that there have been dead people in this house, it is not clean, and there is a sound in it at night, like a ball bouncing around, and the sound of people talking, which scares people to death." I'm for your own good, let's go. ”

I was not reconciled, and said, "I heard from a friend that it seems that someone lived here not long ago......"

"That person is not normal, if he goes out early and returns late, he will not come out of the house. If it weren't for the fear of trouble, we would have called the police a long time ago, and we don't know where the wanted criminals came from. I moved out a few days ago, and there was no sound, and no one knew when I left. Needless to say, it's so cold, let's go home quickly. She walked into the alley with a washbasin.

Fuck me. This Ma Danlong is really a wanderer, his tracks are erratic, he will leave as soon as he says, east for a while, west for a while, it seems that he can only wait for himself to appear.

I don't know how I got over this night, and I was dizzy when I went to work the next day. The manager saw my virtue, and he didn't bother to scold, and I knew that I was about to get out. There is even more abusive news, when eating in the canteen, I heard from a colleague that the boss of the group headquarters came to inspect the company, and Wang Xue actually became an entourage and a personal secretary. The relationship between the two is not ordinary, the eldest is in his fifties, the old cow eats tender grass, and takes Wang Xue with him wherever he goes, it is estimated that Wang Xue has been taken down, hehe......

I looked at myself, and I saw that there were thirty people, who had no long things, and they were still haunted by evil things, which was really a loss of life. It doesn't matter if Wang Xue follows the boss, even if she is a junior, she can eat and drink spicy food. The old man still knows that it hurts people.

After staying up until the end of the evening, Peng Gang came to pick me up, and we went to Brother Peng's former company building together.

It's past the end of work, and the people in the building are almost walking to make it easier for us to act. We entered the safe passage and followed the staircase down the staircase. Not to mention, this ghost place is not much worse than the unlucky mansion in the garden community, it is pitch black, and there is not even a building lamp.

The two of us walked with each other's company, and we made it all the way to the bottom of the first floor, where the staircase was blocked by a pile of debris. The staircase was full of broken wooden planks and some iron shelves, and we looked down with flashlights, and in the middle of the debris, a thin narrow passage was cleared, which could only be used by one person to walk sideways. This narrow road leads to the depths of the dark staircase, and the flashlight cannot be penetrated at all, and the more you look at it, the more scary it becomes.

Peng Gang is really responsible, he has indeed grown up. He patted me: "Lao Liu, I'll go first, you and I will be behind." ”

I am very ashamed, his father's mistake has nothing to do with him, it was originally my business, and he had to be involved. I was about to say something, Peng Gang took the lead, flashed the flashlight and walked down, I rubbed my forehead, sighed lightly, and followed.

Walking into the depths of the stairs, I really felt like I was entering another world, and the whole thing was wrapped in darkness. There was silence at this point, except for the occasional sound of water droplets falling from nowhere.

After walking for a while, he stopped and shone a flashlight: "It's here." ”

I walked behind him and looked down, and at the end of the stairs, there was an iron door half-opened, revealing a black gap. On the iron door is a yellowed word "Fu".
