West of Qiyang City, Willow Street.

It's a bustling place, and at night, it's bustling with people, and there's no curfew here.

In front of a food stall, in a large iron pot, tender white ramen noodles are churning up and down in the boiling soup.

There were several people sitting in front of the food stall, they were all waiting for the noodle soup, and at this time there were two people talking, only to see that one of them was wearing a brown cloth coat, and the other was wearing a scholar's uniform.

"Yang Lin, I heard that Mazhuang is very weird, and there is no one in the village. The scholar man said.

"Yes, not only is there no one, but even the people who went to the horse village have not come out again, do you say you are afraid. "The man in brown cloth 'Yang Lin' had a slight fear in his eyes.

When the scholar man heard this, he was also a little afraid, "No one came out, Mazhuang won't be haunted, right?" ”

Hearing this, Yang Lin's expression was serious, "Haunted? Fan Yi, Zi is silent and strange, how can there be ghosts in this world?"

"I also know that there are no ghosts in this world, but what do you say is going on in Mazhuang?" Fan Yi asked, "The matter of Mazhuang has spread in the west of the city, and it is so weird, it is said that ghosts are doing it." ”

"I can't tell, it's really weird. Yang Lin shook his head helplessly, "If you want to say that there are no ghosts, it doesn't look like a human thing." ”

Fan Yi seemed to remember something, his face changed suddenly, and he said with some fear: "Yang Lin, Mazhuang is only a dozen miles away from here, where is it so dangerous, and it won't become dangerous here in the west of the city, right?"

"Huh?" Yang Lin was stunned for a moment, and then nodded, "It's really possible, the west of the city is so close to Mazhuang, why don't we find a place tomorrow?"

"Hmm!" Fan Yi nodded heavily, "I'll move when I go back." ”

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of gongs and drums not far away, and the sound was very festive, as if it was a wedding.

"What kind of sound is this?" Yang Lin looked up at the place where the voice came from.

"I don't know, it sounds like whose family is marrying a daughter, but at night, whose daughter will marry at night. Fan Yi also raised his head and looked in the direction where the voice came from.

In the sight of the two, they saw dozens of figures gradually appearing not far away, some of these figures were blowing suona, some were beating gongs and drums, and some were scattering flower petals and dancing.

And these figures have a common feature, they are all wearing red clothes, as if they are dyed red with blood, and the red is terrifying.

In the middle of the crowd, a blood-red sedan chair was carried by four sedan chair men in red clothes, and as the sedan chair drivers walked, the sedan chair trembled up and down.

"This is?" Fan Yi was stunned, "On a big night, someone really marries a daughter?"

"Huh?" Yang Lin's pupils shrank sharply, "No, Fan Yi, no, look at it." ”

Yang Lin's right hand was raised, pointing at the crowd, and his eyes gradually widened, and he had become extremely frightened.

Fan Yi took a closer look at the crowd, his eyes were also widening violently, his heart was beating fast, and the whole person was already extremely frightened.

I saw that in the crowd not far away, those who beat gongs and drums, scattered flower petals and danced, all had expressions on their faces.

That's not a human expression at all.

I saw that their faces were pale, the corners of their mouths were slightly curved, and the corners of their eyes were also slightly curved, as if they had narrowed into a crescent moon.

If Li Rui was here, he would definitely recognize these expressions, the facial expressions of these people were exactly the same as the facial expressions of the catcher who was killed by him, a smile similar to that of a clown.

"This, this ......" Yang Linyao's right hand gradually trembled.

Accompanied by the sound of music, the people on both sides of Willow Street suddenly walked towards the sedan chair, and at the same time, the expressions on their faces gradually changed, and they also changed into the weird smiles of clowns.

There were more and more people around the sedan chair, and countless passers-by walked around with the sedan chair.

"Quick, run!" Yang Lin suddenly shouted, getting up and about to run away.

However, a burst of music came, and a strange voice sounded in Yang Lin's mind, "Come on, come on, come on." ”

Yang Lin's figure suddenly stopped, and as soon as he turned around, he also walked around the sedan chair, and Fan Yi also walked over, and at the same time, the faces of the two of them also changed into weird smiles.

The music faded away, and it wasn't long before the whole Willow Street became silent, and the originally lively crowd disappeared.

The whole street was empty.

On the second day, Li Rui came to the capture squad room.

Now the situation has not yet reached the time to escape, so Li Rui will continue to be his catcher, and the county government is also the place where the news is known the fastest, as soon as there is a disturbance, the news will be transmitted to the county government in time.

As soon as he entered the class room, Li Rui saw the three three two catchers standing together, talking.

"Pei Yuan, have you heard? Not only did there be an accident in Mazhuang, but there was also an accident in the west of the city last night, and the entire Willow Street became empty. "A catcher.

"Hmm. Pei Yuan nodded, "I know, now the people around Willow Street are frightened and are preparing to escape." ”

“......”

The sound of conversation came into Li Rui's ears.

"Something happened on Willow Street in the west of the city, so fast?" Li Rui frowned.

Ma Zhuang is more than ten miles west of the city, if Ma Zhikang becomes more powerful, of course he will attack the west of the city as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

"Ma Zhikang has become even stronger. Li Rui's expression became even more solemn.

The catchers only knew that something had happened in Mazhuang and the west of the city, but they didn't know what was going on. However, Li Rui knew that Ma Zhikang was weird and powerful, and no one here could stop it.

"Silence. Zheng Dingxing's voice suddenly sounded, "What kind of system, we are fast catchers, how can we believe that there are ghosts? There are no ghosts in this world at all, this is likely to be done by some evil force, from today onwards, we will strengthen patrols, and I have already reported this matter to the county guard." ”

"Now they're all standing and ready to get ready. Zheng Dingxing sat on Ma Zhikang's former seat, with a leadership style.

"Wang Peien, Pei Yuan......" Zheng Dingxing flipped through the roll call list and counted the names one by one.

"Li Rui. Suddenly, Zheng Dingxing called Li Rui's name, he looked up at Li Rui, and a cold glow shone in his eyes.

"Li Rui, today you go to Willow Street in the west of the city to see what is going on. Zheng Dingxing commanded, "The county guard has ordered me to be the substitute catcher, Li Rui, you must carry out this order." ”

Last time Li Rui dared to contradict him, Zheng Dingxing already held a grudge against Li Rui.

"Willow Street?" Li Rui suddenly said, "Okay, I'll go." ”

"Huh?" Zheng Dingxing was stunned, he didn't expect Li Rui to agree so simply, he was going to take the opportunity to exert his power.

Zheng Dingxing felt that a punch had hit the air, but he suddenly laughed, and Li Rui finally obeyed his order.

Li Rui held the Hundred Battle Knife, and as soon as he turned around and walked outside the class room, he was thinking of going to Willow Street in the west of the city.

Willow Street in the west of the city.

Li Rui walked on the street, his eyes scanned the surroundings, there was no one here, as if it had become a ghost town.

The surrounding shops and food stalls are still in the same state as last night, but the soup in the pot of the food stall is no longer boiling, and the stove fire has completely turned into ashes.

Li Rui walked past the stalls, and the entire willow street became the same as the horse village, the people disappeared, and the whole street was silent.

"Could it be that the people on the entire street have been kidnapped by Ma Zhikang?" Li Rui's face was full of gloom, and he remembered the stumps and broken arms all over the ground in Ma Fu, as well as the blood plasma all over the ground.

"Maybe the people of the entire Willow Street have become Ma Zhikang's blood food. Li Rui shook his head.

Glancing at the empty Willow Street, Li Rui turned around and left.

Another day passed, near Willow Street, and now people don't dare to go out at all at night.

"Daddy, let's go tomorrow, a lot of us have moved here. A woman said.

"Hey, I want to leave too, but where can we move to?" a middle-aged man sighed helplessly.

Just then, a burst of music suddenly sounded on the street.

Immediately, the expressions on the faces of the two changed to weird smiles.

The two turned into zombies, pushed open the door, and the people came to the street.

One by one, the doors were pushed open, and many people came out, men and women, old people and children.

Like puppets, they slowly walked out into the street, heading in the direction of the music.

......

"In just two days, the entire western part of the city has completely become a ghost town. Dressed in a green suit and a hundred knives on his waist and hips, Li Rui came to the west of the city again.

Just last night, all the people in the west of the city disappeared, and the panic had spread to the entire Qiyang City.

"Not good. Li Rui suddenly remembered something, and his whole body moved, like a cheetah bursting out, and quickly headed east.

Zhang's Mansion!

Li Rui moved quickly, quickly pushed open the door, and the person had already come to the courtyard.

Zhang's Mansion is on the edge of the west of the city, and the entire west of the city has become a ghost domain, and Li Rui is very worried about Zhang Yunyao.

"Shen'er!" In the courtyard, Li Rui saw Shen'er at a glance, and his originally nervous heart relaxed.

"Young Master Rui. Shen'er smiled.

Shen'er also knew about the west of the city, and she was also a little panicked in her heart, but when she saw Li Rui, she was not so panicked in her heart.

"Shen'er, where is Yun Yao?" asked Li Rui.

"Miss is in the study. Shen'er replied, and then shouted softly to the study, "Miss, Young Master Rui is here." ”

It didn't take long for Zhang Yunyao to walk out of the study.

"Yun Yao, the entire west of the city has disappeared, and now the Zhang Mansion has become unsafe, you can't live here anymore. Li Rui said in a solemn tone.

Zhang Yunyao nodded, "I heard about the west of the city, but where can we go?"

"Go to ......" Li Rui originally wanted to say go to his residence, because now his strength can still resist Ma Zhikang, but after thinking about it, his house is too simple.

"Go to the inn in the east of the city, find an inn to stay in first. ”

"Inn. Zhang Yunyao thought about it, this is also a way, "Okay, I'll clean up, and I'll go to the inn in the east of the city." ”
