Chapter 12: A Strange Death

When Lang Belle said this, I blinked at Lantern Xiao and I felt that there seemed to be nothing evil about it, just a dead mouse, could it be that this Lang Belle looked quite a gentleman, but he was actually a person who was afraid of mice?

"Skinny dead rats?" Lantern Xiao smiled and said, "Lang Belle, it seems that the rat really has nothing to eat in you, and it is eighty percent starved to death!" ”

And the following sentence from Lang Baylor,.。

Rambelle tells us that it was no ordinary rat carcass, and that it is not an exaggeration to say that it is covered in skin and bones! On top of that pool of blood was a complete rat skin, and inside the rat skin was its white bones, but there was no flesh and blood! So it's really skinny in the full sense of the word! On the bright red blood stains, there is such an animal carcass, although it is just a mouse, but it still looks shocking!

Lambele was taken aback at the time, and immediately checked inside and out, but there was nothing unusual. Langbel squatted on the ground and watched for a long time, and he didn't know why this mouse died here!

Lantern Xiao and I also looked at each other in disbelief. Lantern Xiao opened his mouth and said: "Lang Belle, although this incident is indeed very strange, but after all, it is just a dead mouse, maybe it was eaten like this after being bitten to death by the wild cat that sneaked in, or it was killed by other mice. You don't have to worry too much! ”

Lang Belle shook his head with a wry smile, "If it's just a matter of killing a mouse, no matter what kind of death it becomes, I can accept it." But," said Lambele, swallowing his saliva, visibly nervous, and continued: "But the matter is not over! ”

Rambelle goes on to tell us that for a few days after that incident, everything was uneventful again, as if the last incident had never happened, and just as Rambelle was about to forget about it, something even more bizarre and terrifying happened.

In the recent period of the last time there was a dead rat, Lambele was always unsure, so he was the first to go to the market almost every day since. And on this day, when Lang Belle was about to walk to the door of his shop, he suddenly vaguely saw that there seemed to be a small black shadow on the ground in front of the door.

Lambele felt a little strange in his heart, so he walked over slowly. But when he came to him, he was shocked to find that there was a dead cat on the ground. The cat, Lambele, was known, a feral cat who often roamed the market, and he also fed it occasionally.

But what is terrifying is that the cat's death and the appearance of the corpse are exactly the same as the dead mouse in his store a few days ago! Again, only fur and bones remain, and no flesh and blood.

When Lang Belle saw this scene, he felt that his scalp was exploding, and the early morning of the cold winter was the coldest time of the day, and at this time, Lang Baylor instantly oozed sweat from the corners of his forehead!

Fortunately, the location of his store was relatively remote, and Lang Belle didn't care about anything else, so he hurriedly disposed of the dead cat while it was still dark, and fetched some water to roughly flush the blood stains in front of the door. If you let others know that something like this happened in your store, it is very likely that they will think that they have provoked something unclean, and if this spreads, who will come! Don't do it yourself!

After dealing with those things, sitting in the store, Lambele was stupid, what the hell is going on? If the dead rat that had only skin and bones left a few days ago can barely be speculated to have been eaten like that by other animals or even its own kind, then what about this cat? In the city, what can make it like that!

Thinking of this, Lambele's back felt cold. He couldn't help but wonder, could it be that he had really provoked something evil? If that's the case, it's recent. Suddenly, he remembered the statue of the Western Regions God he had just received.

Think about it, these things really happened after I took the idol! Could it really be that there is something wrong with that thing!

Rambel got up and opened the cupboard, took the idol out again, and looked at it repeatedly. Except that the appearance of this statue looks a little weird, I can't see anything else, it's just a very ordinary wooden statue, and the appearance of the statue is strange, it's not unusual, after all, the culture of the Western Regions is different from the Central Plains, so the appearance of totem worship is also very different from the Central Plains.

Speaking of ghosts and gods, Lang Belle has always taken a respectful and distant attitude, neither believing nor resisting. After all, he knew that some of the antiques he had received had been taken directly from the hands of the dead, and he didn't care about that.

Looking at the statue in front of him, he really couldn't imagine that this thing killed the mouse and the wild cat. Is it really haunted? The two strange things that happened in front of his eyes made Lang Belle, who didn't believe in ghosts and gods, a little shaken.

Turning his head, Lang Belle suddenly saw the monitoring probe on the wall, and his heart suddenly moved. I installed monitoring probes in the store and at the entrance of the store, and the location of the mouse carcass last time was just in a place where the monitoring could not shine. This time it is different, the location of the wild cat's corpse is just in front of the door, and it should be within the monitoring range of the monitoring probe, so that you can see the process of the wild cat being killed, and maybe you can find the cause of the wild cat's death.

Lang Belle hurriedly walked to the surveillance computer in the back room, and called up the surveillance video in front of the door last night, and then the black and white picture of last night's infrared camera appeared on the monitor. Lang Belle turned up the speed of the playback, looked at the empty door of the store, after a long time, Lang Baylor's eyes were a little tired, at this moment, suddenly, a dark shadow passed in front of the store.

Lang Belle was excited, and immediately reversed the picture a little. At the same time, the normal playback speed was restored, and the two eyes were staring at the screen of the monitor.

On the screen, a cat entered the surveillance range, and Lang Belle could see at a glance that the cat was the one who died. He stared at the picture so engrossed in the picture that he didn't even dare to blink his eyes, for fear that he had missed some details.

However, the cat walked leisurely past the door of the store, seemingly looking for food, and did not notice anything unusual.

Lang Belle was stunned for a moment, the wild cat passed safely, and there was nothing abnormal! He rubbed his eyes, then continued to look.

Sure enough, soon the cat returned. And this time, when it walked near the store again, suddenly, as if it had been frightened by something, it turned around and tried to run, but it seemed to be entangled in something, and it struggled a few times and could not escape.

But judging from the surveillance footage, the cat's body is empty and buys everything. Lang Belle just like this, watching the cat, as if he had gone crazy, tossing and turning in front of the store, and finally slowly fell to the ground, without a sound, and then, an even more terrible scene happened, Lang Belle saw that the cat's body was at a speed visible to the naked eye, and quickly deflated!

This change happened in less than a minute. Lang Belle only looked at his legs and felt weak, and his heart was about to jump out of his mouth!

He picked up the teacup in front of him, but his hands were shaking and he could barely hold the cup, and the shaking tea splashed Lang Baylor's face, Lang Baylor drank the tea in one gulp, and collided with the rapid breathing, the tea squirted out again, and he curled up and coughed violently! Coughing until his face was flushed.

Since Lang Belle was coughing too evilly, the guy in the hall hurriedly walked over, "Boss, are you okay?" ”

Lang Belle waved his hand, jumped up in one step, rushed to the front of the store, squatted on the ground and looked carefully, and then turned his head to look at the two doors. The guy looked inexplicably, "Boss, what's wrong with you?" ”

Lang Belle frowned, his expression was extremely ugly, and he said in a deep voice: "From now on, before dark in the afternoon, I will close the door and thank you!" Do not use it in the morning before daylight! ”

"This!" The guy was taken aback by this sudden employee benefit, and wanted to ask clearly, but after thinking about it, it was a good thing anyway, whatever, he nodded happily, "Okay!" ”

From then on, although the next few days were calm and there was nothing unusual in the store, Lang Belle was always panicked and worried every day. Every morning when I come to the store to open the door, I am even more frightened, for fear of seeing some strange scene again, the first time is a dead mouse, the second time is a dead wild cat, who knows what the third time is? It's not going to be someone's turn! Every time he thought of this, Lambele was terrified.

In fact, these days, Lang Belle is also doing a fierce ideological struggle in his heart, thinking about what to do with the newly acquired Western Regions God Statue? In fact, he already had a judgment in his heart, and he felt that although he couldn't see any clues, these strange things had something to do with this thing nine times out of ten.

He sent a photo of this statue to a few experts in the circle who had a good relationship, but no one could say why. Lang Belle was anxious to hold this hot potato, keep it, and be afraid. Throw it away, and it cost a lot of money. Sell it, but you know that there is such a problem and sell it, which is different from selling fakes, and you can't kill you if you make money! Lambele felt that he could not do that immoral thing!

At this time, the Dongding Pavilion next to the Lantern Festival opened, so there was today's chance encounter.

After listening to Lang Belle's story, Lantern Festival and I looked at each other, we were both deeply confused by each other's eyes, I didn't have any clue at all, and I also knew that Lantern Festival was the same!

Seeing that the two of us didn't speak for a long time, Lang Belle opened his mouth and said, "What do you two think? ”

I thought about it and frowned, I was going to say that we don't have a clue and just put this matter away. But unexpectedly, Lantern Xiao was quite positive about this matter, thought about it seriously, and said: "Lang Belle, in my opinion, this will never be the so-called ghost trick!" ”
