When the phone rang, no one in the haunted house or the ghost reacted.

Zhou Ping felt the vibration in his pocket, and only then did he subconsciously want to touch his mobile phone.

He put his hands in his pockets, and suddenly remembered that he had just been bound hand and foot.

At some point, he regained his freedom.

Things happen too quickly, or without you knowing.

When Zhou Ping thought about this, he only felt a burning pain in his thigh.

He hurriedly pulled out his phone, which was so hot that he wanted to throw it away.

The others also came to their senses at this time.

The shopkeeper took the lead.

No one saw how he moved. I saw his figure appear next to Zhou Ping, and he shot out like lightning, trying to snatch the phone.

Zhou Ping didn't hold the phone tightly.

The shopkeeper's hand reached out, only to be burned by the blazing heat of his phone.

His skin immediately turned red.

The dolls who suppressed Zhou Ping jumped up one after another. They didn't understand what was going on, half of them went to restrain Zhou Ping, and the other half instinctively wanted to compete with the shopkeeper for good things.

Xiong Rui and Song Ming were dragged down by their bodies because they had become living people, and they were one step slower. The eyes of the two widened, and one heart went to their throats.

The very popular smartphone was pinched by several hands and released.

Zhou Ping, the owner of the mobile phone, couldn't hold the hot body.

The phone flew up in the scramble.

Meng Sinan lay on the ground, trying to stretch his neck.

He saw that there was an orange-red mark on the mobile phone tumbling in the air, like the pattern on the phone case, and like a raised mobile phone buckle glued to the back of the mobile phone.

There was a click, accompanied by the ringing of the phone, the phone fell to the ground, and the ringtone also stopped.

Zhou Ping looked at the upside-down mobile phone, and his heart was cold.

According to his settings, the phone screen is buttoned down, and the phone will be hung up.

He didn't know why the phone suddenly appeared or who called, but it might be their only chance of survival.

Meng Sinan blinked his eyes and confirmed that there was no color on the back of the phone. The bright pattern he had seen earlier seemed to be just an illusion.

The shopkeeper was the first of the crowd to take action.

He didn't say a word, and the figure disappeared directly in place.

Boom.

When the shopkeeper's body reappeared, he was already lying on the ground in embarrassment.

He was half charred black, as if he had been burned by flames.

Everyone in the store felt only a tremor of their souls.

There was a pair of eyes, high up on them, looking down on them.

Zhou Ping was overwhelmed.

Those dolls panicked, Xiong Rui and Song Ming both changed their faces and hurriedly rushed to the door.

Boom.

The two slammed into the door.

The door panel shook and didn't open. A spark spilled out of the crack in the door, scalding the skin of the two of them.

"It's over......" the shopkeeper got up from the ground, his half-black, half-white face without any expression.

Xiong Rui turned his head sharply to look at the shopkeeper.

"Why do you think I'm moving out? Why don't you do it casually? The shopkeeper laughed mockingly, his tone grim, revealing a bit of resentment.

Xiong Rui's eyes were broken, and he suddenly glared at Zhou Ping fiercely.

Song Ming and those dolls were even more direct, mentioning Zhou Ping on the ground and choking his vital point.

"Let me out! Hear no! Let me out, or I'll kill him!" Song Mingchao roared around.

As soon as the words fell, a raging fire engulfed Song Ming's body.

The flames flew like butterflies in the haunted house, and when they touched the dolls, they turned into balls of fire and wrapped around them.

For a while, there were screams in the store.

Xiong Rui was so frightened that he sat on the ground, he shook like chaff, and exclaimed, "No! I didn't kill anyone! I didn't want to—" His body burned before he finished his defense.

The shopkeeper stood in the midst of the fire, turned his head to look, and saw a woman with long hair rushing out of the depths of the haunted house.

She stretched out her hand, but it didn't touch the shopkeeper, and it turned into ashes.

Han Hong was dumbfounded.

The restraints on his body disappeared, and he was excited, and hurriedly went to inspect Zhou Ping lying on the ground.

Zhou Ping coughed a few times, shook his head at Han Hong, and signaled that he was fine. He touched his thigh, which still had a burning sensation, and bared his teeth.

Meng Sinan sat up from the ground and watched the firelight in the room slowly disappear.

The only ones left in the store were the three of them and the shopkeeper.

That feeling of being watched hasn't gone away.

Suddenly a voice came from the mobile phone on the ground.

"Who unleashed the ghost of the church and ordered you to do this kind of thing?"

Zhou Ping was shocked.

He could tell that the voice belonged to Li Yun.

For a moment, his head was a mess.

Li Yun didn't have such a ability before his death.

No, he hadn't known Li Yun at all. Li Yun will die so bizarrely, maybe there is something hidden.

The shopkeeper looked at his phone.

He hooked the corners of his lips, "Spokespeople talking?" ”

Li Yun did not answer.

He could see and hear everything that was going on inside the haunted house.

Zhou Ping and the others are safe and sound, and the ghost has also been eliminated by the boss's flames, but this matter is not over, and the culprit has not been caught yet.

Li Yun stared at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper moved his lips, as if to say something, but before his voice could be heard, blood spilled from his mouth.

Li Yun was stunned.

Click.

A cloud fell from the sky.

The still pulsating piece of flesh spurted out a few streams of blood from the broken blood vessel, and gradually stopped moving.

The shopkeeper's body fell to the ground with a bang.

"Dead? This is...... Is this the heart? Han Hong said in shock.

Li Yun hurriedly searched the entire store.

He didn't see the shopkeeper's soul.

He cried out in his heart again for impermanence.

He may miss the other party's soul, but Bai Wuchang can't fail to discover his soul.

Unless......

The snow-white figure landed next to the shopkeeper's body.

Meng Sinan was vaguely aware of it, and raised his eyes to look, but he didn't see anything. He glanced at his phone, then frowned and looked down.

He could feel the sight of two people in the room, and a presence he couldn't see.

"His soul is gone." Bai Wuchang shook his head and said to Li Yun.

Li Yun pursed the corners of his lips.

In this case, the clues to find the mastermind behind the scenes are broken.

Moreover, in addition to these evil ghosts in the haunted house, there may be evil ghosts who have "come to life", hiding their identities in the face of ordinary people, waiting for an opportunity to kill people.

Li Yun let out a breath.

"There may be victims who have not been found so far, and there are ghosts outside......" he reminded Bai Wuchang.

Bai Wuchang nodded.

He could think of that.

His face was expressionless, and he pondered in his heart the explanation of the black impermanence to him.

His gaze swept over Zhou Ping and the three of them, lingering slightly on Meng Sinan and Zhou Ping.

"And ghosts?" Han Hong said in a panic.

Li Yun didn't answer.

Zhou Ping was also silent.

Li Yun thought about it and didn't communicate with Zhou Ping.

He hung up directly.

Han Hong stared at the phone, completely unaware of this.

Meng Sinan felt that there was less sight in the house, and a gust of wind blew in his face.

He seemed to see a white shadow passing by, and when he came back to his senses, he saw himself sitting on the floor of the rented house.

Bai Wuchang is still in the haunted house.

The haunted house has been emptied, and there are no souls, no living people.

The door to the haunted house was opened at this moment.

Bai Wuchang looked over and saw Hei Wuchang with his hands in his pockets and walked in leisurely.

"Black Senpai." As soon as Bai Wuchang said hello, he saw Hei Wuchang raise his hand and grab something from the air.

Hei Impermanence spread out his hand, and a golden fluff lay in his palm.

He blew and whistled, and watched as the fluff flew up, turned into small flames, and then extinguished in the air.

Hei Wuchang showed a sneer, "He's really busy." ”

Bai Wuchang looked straight at Hei Wuchang, without speaking or expression.

Black Impermanence didn't need to look at him, and he could guess the doubts in his heart.

"Just keep an eye on that zealous imp." Hei Wuchang waved his hand, "I want to see what he wants to do after flying blindly for so many years." ”

White impermanent jaw head.

He trusts in black impermanence.

Hei Wuchang didn't want to tell him for the time being, so he saw with his own eyes and thought with his brain.

If he doesn't have time to come up with an answer on his own, then Black Impermanence will also reveal the answer to the mystery to him at the right time.

Bai Wuchang looked around at the haunted house.

They don't need to deal with this side anymore. It has its own laws and regulations to solve this ownerless shop.

※※※※※

Meng Sinan was stunned for a moment and looked at his body.

He was not injured, and his phone was still there, but it was still in a state of no power and turned off.

He slowly got up from the ground and found the charger to plug it in.

When the phone is turned on, the music does not sound.

Meng Sinan's ears flashed with the sound of a phoenix.

He looked around in a trance, and his gaze eventually fell on the ceiling.

There, there seemed to be traces of a flame.

The traces quickly faded.

That majestic gaze was gone.

A message came out of his phone.

Wu Dao was in a hurry, and he was almost scared to death.

Master Dou and Meng Sinan cut off the phone at the same time, which is obviously an accident. Among the two, one is that the mobile phone is not turned off, but there is no sound at all, and the other is that the mobile phone is directly turned off.

Wu Dao could only be in a hurry.

Meng Sinan originally didn't take Wu Dao seriously, but he was grateful at this time.

At least Wu Dao was very concerned about his life and death. That's actually enough.

He sent a message back to Wu Dao, and then he felt a heavy sense of exhaustion.

The phone rings again, and it's a hangout notification.

There are three people in the group, he, Han Hong and Zhou Ping.

Han Hong sighed, "Great." You're all right...... You guys...... I wasn't dreaming before, was I? ”

Zhou Ping and Meng Sinan raised their eyes, and both looked at each other.

I don't know if I understood what the other party meant, neither of them spoke.

Han Hong squeezed out an ugly smile.

"Isn't it a dream? Those...... Aren't they all dreams? ”

Only the breathing of the three people can be heard in the hangout chat.

"You guys, did you hear that voice when you went back?" Han Hong broke the silence.

"I heard it, it was like the chirping of a bird, it was very ......" Meng Sinan finally spoke, pondered, and changed his words, "It reminds me of ...... Phoenix ......"

Saying that word, Meng Sinan still had an incredible feeling.

Although he had encountered some things and had learned some common sense in the circle for this purpose, he had never heard anyone say that those legendary creatures were still alive. The mainstream view in the circle is that those creatures have long been extinct, and they have not been extinct for thousands of years, but have been extinct for tens of thousands of years, and they have been annihilated in the long history of mankind together with the ancient clans and tribes, leaving only legends.

Meng Sinan did not believe this statement. In the past, he had always thought that this kind of statement was just a story made up by some cultivators in order to put gold on their faces and pay a high price for their magic weapons and inheritances. After all, a necklace made of a string of fish scales is not as valuable as a necklace made of dragon scales. It's like merchandising in modern society. Gimmicks and advertisements are always part of the added value of the product.

Meng Sinan shook his head, as if he wanted to throw something out of his mind.

But the crisp and heart-shaking phoenix sound kept echoing in my heart because of this, and it was impossible to forget it easily.

He struggled, wanting to suspect that this was the demon's new method, but the sensations of body and soul told him that the power contained in the voice was only a scorching temperature and a surging pressure, and there was no evil spirit, no filth.

Han Hong didn't have so many entanglements, he just felt incredible.

He asked Zhou Ping: "Have you seen your phone?" Who's calling that call? ”

Zhou Ping really didn't have a record of electricity. He had already heard Li Yun's voice, so he was naturally not in a hurry to verify.

He went back to his bedroom and looked at his thighs first.

The burning sensation was gone, but the pain was so impressive to him that he was worried that he was hurt.

As a result, there were only faint marks on his skin.

The mark was like a birthmark, shaped like a feather, with a clear and complete outline, and the feather stems, feather roots, and feather branches could be seen.

In disbelief, he reached out and touched it, erasing the mark.

Nothing left on the skin,

Zhou Ping didn't know whether to tell the other two about it now.

Li Yun was probably hiding something from him.

But Li Yun himself was not obliged to tell him about his situation.

This time, Li Yun also saved his life.

He thought for a while and said to the two: "None of us should talk about this to the public. It's okay anymore, let's just treat it as if it didn't happen. ”

Han Hong was stunned for a while, and nodded solemnly.

Meng Sinan surprisingly did not agree immediately.

Zhou Ping looked at Meng Sinan, "Sinan? ”

"I'd like to ask someone about this time. Some things can be treated as if they didn't happen, but some things ......," Meng Sinan muttered, "To tell you the truth, the news I heard before was that creatures like phoenixes had long been extinct. If there is still a phoenix......"

Not to mention the phoenix, any small animal that is thought to be extinct can be rediscovered in the natural sciences.

This matter is placed in the circle, and it is enough news to cause a major earthquake.

Meng Sinan didn't want to be high-profile, but it had already happened, so it was impossible to close his eyes, cover his ears, and act as if nothing had happened.

The reason why he dared to speak out about this matter was that the phoenix saved them, and according to legend, the phoenix has always been a rui beast and is harmless to people.

The reason why he hesitated was that he was unknown in the circle, just an "unlucky ordinary person", and no one would necessarily believe what he said, let alone such an unbelievable news.

Meng Sinan faintly felt that this incident was a little strange, it was some kind of sign. This kind of faint feeling can't be counted, and it's not good for him to tell others directly how he feels.

Han Hong was very open, "We don't understand these things. Since you have experience, I'll leave it to you. If you need anything, you can ask us for help. I don't know how I can help you......" he smiled self-deprecatingly, "We've lived and died together." Ha. ”

Zhou Ping's brows tightened. Thinking of Li Yun, he wanted to stop Meng Sinan. But he had no position to stop Meng Sinan. Meng Sinan's ideas and practices cannot be said to be wrong.

The three of them tossed all night, all tired.

Meng Sinan had already made a decision and said goodbye to the other two.

Zhou Ping still couldn't say anything to stop it.

He looked at the terminated chat window and didn't respond for a while.

Suddenly, he received a video invitation from Han Hong.

Han Hong asked with concern, "Do you have anything to say that you are embarrassed to say to Meng Sinan?" ”

Han Hong's straightforwardness made Zhou Ping smile bitterly.

"You can see it." Zhou Ping sighed.

"What the hell is going on?" Han Hong asked, with a flash of inspiration, "That phone call, could it be ......?"

Zhou Ping sighed again.

"This ...... Would you like to ask that colleague of yours for clarification? Somehow they saved us. Han Hong said sincerely.

Zhou Ping didn't want to contact Li Yun anymore, which was also what Li Yun had said in the previous call. In this contact, Li Yun saved his life, but he didn't say a word to him. In Zhou Ping's opinion, Li Yun's mind should not have changed.

Han Hong's words also make sense.

Zhou Ping nodded, "I see." ”

He and Han Hong had nothing to be polite about.

After hanging up the video, he flipped out the call log.

On the phone, the time of the last call recorded was after ten o'clock in the morning. The phone call from Li Yun was not recorded at all.

Zhou Ping was not surprised. He called Li Yun according to the number on his back.
