153. (below) two-in-one

After listening to the woman's account of the strange situation, the room was silent for a while, and everyone's brows were furrowed.

"Are you sure?"

Lu Zheng couldn't help but look at the scared and crying iron egg in the woman's arms:

"Did this child really see that the missing person was taken away by a woman wearing a veil?"

The woman held the child in her arms and said with a pale face:

"That's what my son told us, how could he make up such a strange thing, an ignorant baby? I think I really saw it......"

It's a bit of an evil sect......

At this moment, Tie Dan was still crying, Lu Zheng's mind was racing, and he turned around and signaled.

Among the eight members of the monitoring team, Bai Ziyu and Li Xue, who were women, understood, squatted down, and asked softly:

"Tiedan, come and tell us, did you really see a bride take your uncle away that night?"

"Yes, it's true. ”

Tie Dan hugged the woman tightly, gradually stopped crying, and replied breathlessly:

"I, I wanted to pee, but when I got up, my uncle's bed was empty and the door was wide open. When I went to the door, I saw my uncle standing at the gate of the courtyard, holding a bride in a red wedding dress and a hijab. ”

"I was so scared that I called my uncle several times, but he ignored me and followed the bride away. Then, then I ran to the other room to call my mom and dad and shook them for a long time to wake them up......"

Tie Dan's immature answer revealed an indescribable weirdness, which made Kong Wei, Yang Zilin and others can't help but jump their eyelids slightly.

Including Lu Zheng, he also frowned, quickly analyzing the information obtained.

According to what Tie Dan said, it can be determined that whether it is this strange disappearance case or the crying of a woman heard by the family of the missing person in their sleep, it should all come from this strange bride in red.

The question is, when the other people hear the woman's crying, they can't wake up as if they are being pressed on the bed by a ghost, how can the iron egg as a child come to his senses?

And Tie Dan lives in the same room with the missing Leizi, why was he not taken away by this bride?

And where did this bride in red come from, and where were those who disappeared gone?

One question after another emerged from his heart, Lu Zheng was still thinking about the problem, while Kong Wei looked at the woman and said with some annoyance:

"Why didn't you say such an important situation at the beginning? The people from the Yamen and the Demon Exterminator Division have all come to you before, why do you want to hide it, do you still know any hidden secrets?"

"No, no!"

The woman hurriedly shook her head like a rattle, and pleaded with Lu Zheng:

"This big man, I was blinded by lard, please open the net! The main thing is that such tricks have appeared one after another in our area, and have harmed the lives of many people, I really don't dare to tell what my baby has seen, otherwise if the female ghost knows, he will come to my house again and take my son and even my man away!"

The woman trembled and pleaded with fear, and the demons in the room suddenly lost their anger.

In this world, this kind of bizarre and grotesque evil event will cause the family to be ruined and killed, and ordinary people have no ability to resist.

Thinking of this, the crowd couldn't help but look at Lu Zheng: "Deputy Lieutenant Lu, what do you think ......?"

A ghost bride who would take a single young man away from her home was obviously the root cause, Lu Zheng looked at the woman with a deep groan:

"Tell me first, have people in this neighborhood been married recently?"

"This ......"

The woman raised her head and was stunned for a moment, and then said quickly as if she wanted to make meritorious service:

"Naturally, there is, last month, there was the daughter of the Wang butcher's family and the son of Liu Laogen's family, and the dowry was a whole cow! There is also the eldest son of the Li carpenter's family, who also married a wife last month, but this wife seems to have been bought from somewhere else, and the daughter-in-law is not very good-looking, and the son of Hu Datou's family ...... two months ago."

This woman was like a treasure about the weddings and funerals in this neighborhood, and crackled and said a series of names, and Lu Zheng frowned when she heard it, and immediately interrupted:

"Okay, okay, okay! Is there anything special going on in any of these married people's families?"

"Something special?"

The woman was worthy of being a gossip know-it-all, and soon remembered something:

"Yes, I remember that three or four months ago, Zhou Daya's favorite youngest son of Zhou Ji Rice Shop seemed to have some kind of hysteria and couldn't afford to get sick. The vicious hysteria is said to be very strange, this week Daya exhausted all his wealth and failed to cure his son, and then I don't know where to hear the advice, so I bought a daughter-in-law for my seriously ill son from outside to use for joy. ”

"But unfortunately, this method was useless at all, not only did his son's illness not improve in any way, but he also had a hysterical attack on the night of the candle night in the cave room, and strangled the bride to death......!

"Oh?"

This news undoubtedly seemed extremely abnormal, Lu Zheng's eyes suddenly moved, and the other demon slayers couldn't wait to ask:

"And then?"

"And then ......"

The woman, as if completely oblivious to the fact that she had been begging for mercy just now, sighed and said:

"The lords also know that the little daughter-in-law was bought by Zhou Daya with money, and her status is similar to that of a house slave, even if she is beaten to death, it is not a felony at all, and the yamen punished Zhou Daya with a sum of silver, even if the matter is exposed.

But when this kind of thing happens, no matter who it is, it will be poked in the backbone, and Zhou Daya is just a small owner who runs a rice shop, and after the news comes out, the neighbors in this neighborhood are reluctant to go to their house to buy rice. In less than a month, this week, Daya sold one of his rice shops, and then moved his family out of here. ”

Lu Zheng caught something at once, narrowed his eyes and immediately asked:

"And what about the bride who was strangled on the wedding night?"

The woman sighed and said, "It is said that early the next morning after the incident, it was hastily buried by that week's big tooth. We are a suburb, and two or three miles further away there is a mass grave, where poor families who have no money are usually buried when they die. The bride was bought by Zhou Daya, and he was reluctant to spend money to buy a coffin for a good burial......"

As she spoke, the woman realized something in hindsight, and trembled all over, with a look of horror on her face:

"My lord, the thing that came to my house two nights ago can't be the bride of this week!"

The eyes of the other demon slayers changed, but Lu Zheng glanced at her: "Did you just think of it?"

"This, this, how could this happen?"

The woman held the child in her arms, and said in fear and disbelief:

"But it's been three or four months since the bride of the Zhou family died, and nothing happened before that, and my family and her have no grievances and no friendships, how can they ......?"

It's no wonder that she didn't think of this at first, but this ghetto was chaotic, hungry, cold, sick, and dead were not uncommon at all. As for the death of the bride of the Zhou family, half a year has passed, and many people have even forgotten about it, and she didn't think about it at all at first.

"Deputy Lieutenant Lu, there are many strange events, there is no fixed number, it seems that this matter is very likely to be related to the bride of this week. ”

None of the people present paid attention to the woman's thoughts, Kong Wei and Yang Zilin, the two senior demon slayers, couldn't help but take a step forward and said in a deep voice:

"Perhaps, if you find the place where the bride of this week is buried, you can determine whether the source of this matter is her!"

Now, combined with what Tie Dan saw that night, each of them is seventy percent sure that the so-called women's cries and inexplicable disappearances in this neighborhood during this period of time have a great relationship with this bride who died in vain.

And the way to determine is simpler, that is, to see if the other party's corpse can be found!

Lu Zheng is obviously clear about this truth, but the premise is to know the specific place where the bride of the Zhou family is buried, he looked at the woman:

"Do you know where Zhou Daya's family moved to that day?"

The woman hurriedly shook her head: "The women don't know. That week, Daya moved out secretly, and no one was notified. Not only me, but also the neighbors in the neighborhood don't seem to know. ”

"It's a bit of a problem......"

Kong Wei frowned, and then arched his hand to Lu Zheng:

"Lieutenant, leave this matter to us. As long as this Zhou Daya is still living in the Western Xinjiang Dasai, we will definitely be able to find him out in less than two days. ”

"It doesn't need to be so much trouble. ”

Lu Zheng narrowed his eyes:

"During this time, more than ten people have disappeared, if it is really related to the bride of this week, then there may be clues in the mass grave where she buried her bones, let's go there and explore it first!"

"Now?"

The eight demon exterminators all glanced out the window at dusk and sunset, and the sky was about to be dark, and they hesitated.

The sky is dark, the yin and yang are reversed, it is undoubtedly the most active time for the evil, and this dead bride of the Zhou family is so weird that she hides in that mass grave.

What's more, Lu Zheng, the airborne lieutenant, doesn't seem to have much experience in dealing with special evil incidents, which makes them still have some concerns about whether the other party can deal with any special situation once it happens.

"What, what are you worried about?"

Lu Zheng's eyes swept and said expressionlessly:

"Are you worried that I'm going to hold you back?"

"Don't dare!"

A few demon slayers naturally didn't dare to express the doubts in their hearts, and reluctantly arched their hands.

"Let's go!"

Lu Zheng didn't care about them, and after carefully asking the woman about the address of the mass grave in the suburbs, he immediately waved his hand and led everyone to ride there.

The distance of two or three miles was less than a quarter of an hour, and before the sky had completely darkened, everyone had already arrived at a deserted dirt slope on the edge of the outer city.

It covers an area of several acres, with small earthen slopes rising one after another, overgrown with weeds, and simple graves. Even between the graves one after another, you can see that some graves have been dug out of pits by wild cats or wild dogs, and pieces of unrecognizable white bones are scattered everywhere, making people feel cold at a glance.

This scene is enough to frighten ordinary people, but it is nothing to the demon slayer who is accustomed to seeing blood and horror.

Under Lu Zheng's arrangement, Bai Ziyu and Li Xue, two women, took care of the horses on the periphery, and the rest of the people walked into this mass grave full of coldness and slaughter, and their eyes scanned.

It was getting darker.

As soon as they stepped into this area, the darkness beyond the light seemed to be like a piece of silk cloth, tightly enveloping the two of them in pitch black, and the wind blew on the dirt slope from time to time, and the mountain, rock, and treetops made strange noises, not ghost screams, but ghost screams.

"There seems to be something wrong with this place!"

Among the people who stepped into the realm of mass graves, even Kong Wei and Yang Zilin, the two senior demon slayers, were slightly awe-inspiring as they glanced at the graves one by one at this time.

They vaguely felt that something was watching them in the darkness, and when the wind blew, there were indistinct sounds around them, vague and shadowy, adding more ethereal fear.

"Humph!"

Everyone is in pairs, only a few feet apart, and they can support each other at any time. It was also obvious that something was wrong, but Lu Zheng, who was a master of art, was looking around, and at the same time shouted in a low voice:

"What are you hiding from hiding your head and tail?"

"Don't you like strong men, and now that I've brought so many, what are you waiting for?"

Lu Zheng's voice was like thunder, scattered and agitated, inexplicably diluting the eerie and terrifying atmosphere of this mass grave, and the six demon slayers around him couldn't help but twitch the corners of their mouths:

Co-authored we're all bait?

And Lu Zheng's low voice had not yet dissipated, and Bai Ziyu and Li Xue, who were standing on the periphery of the cemetery, suddenly changed their faces drastically, and raised their hands to point:

"Wait! Look over there!"

"What's that!"

A vague cry and an extremely cold breath suddenly blew along with their shouts, and the temperature of the gloomy cemetery dropped several degrees in an instant, making people can't help but get goosebumps.

Including Lu Zheng, the people who stepped on the cemetery suddenly turned their heads, and saw a strange figure as red as blood appeared on a grave that was only ten zhang in front of them.

Even if the sky was dark and blurry, everyone could see that it was a woman wearing a wedding dress and a hijab.

It seems that it is exactly what they are looking for, the bride of the Zhou family who died a few months ago.

Mass burial cemetery, miserable wind, wedding clothes like blood, so weird!

"Is it finally reluctant?"

Looking at the strange and terrifying scene ahead, Lu Zheng also sneered, without fear:

"Be careful, y'all y!"

Boom!

There was no need for Lu Zheng's reminder at all, at the same time as his words sounded, Kong Wei, Yang Zilin, Fan Ke, Lu Dongsheng, Chen Bing, Zhao Lai, Bai Ziyu, and Li Xue, the eight demon slayers, drew their swords out of their sheaths at the same time, with a grim face, as if they were facing a great enemy.

Woowoo......

And at the same time that everyone instantly put on a fighting posture, on the grave ten zhang away, the extremely strange bride of the Zhou family suddenly took a step forward.

At the same time, in everyone's ears, the low sobbing sound suddenly exploded!

The crying voice was dry, hoarse, resentful, indescribable in words, revealing inexplicable weirdness everywhere, there was nothing when I first heard it before, but as the crying continued to sound, a strange feeling of wanting to cry along suddenly rose in Lu Zheng's heart.

At the same time, Kong Wei, Yang Zilin, and even the other four demon slayers beside him froze, and their faces, which originally contained the intent of slaughter, began to distort without exception, revealing a strange expression of extreme sadness.

And what's even more evil is that they all seemed to be a different person, so they put down their knives with such a sad look, and then walked towards the grave in front of them, the bride of the Zhou family in a bright red wedding dress!
