Chapter 34: The number of ghost slaves exceeds the standard
Ghost painting world.
Li Hui walked straight to the supermarket where the survivors lived, hoping to get some useful information from them.
But before he could get closer, the two people in the supermarket rushed out in horror and ran in the opposite direction to Li Hui's location, looking very panicked, as if Li Hui was some kind of flood beast.
It is their behavior that makes Li Hui see it more clearly.
Both of them are women, they should not be very old, they are in their early 20s, their hairstyles and clothes are a little messy, as if they haven't been groomed for a long time.
Both of them carried a lot of bread and mineral water and other food in their arms.
Because of the vigorous exercise, a lot of the things in their arms were scattered, but the two did not stop to pick them up, but sped up and ran down the street deeper into the city, and soon disappeared around the corner in front.
Looked at.
Li Hui's eyes moved slightly, he did not choose to stop the escape of the two people, but also quickened his pace to follow.
Soon, Li Hui followed in front of an old-fashioned residential building, and he saw the two women flee into the dimly lit residential building, with two slices of bread and a bottle of mineral water scattered in the corridor.
"ใใชใใฏ่ชฐใงใใ?"
As Li Hui approached, a woman's inquiry voice came from the old-fashioned residential building, but the words spoken were in island Chinese.
It seems that it was because of the violent running just now, and it seems that it was because he was too nervous and scared, and there was a pronounced trilling in his tone.
In front of the old-fashioned residential building, Li Hui frowned when he heard the inquiry coming from inside, and then said, "Can you understand Chinese?" โ
He doesn't know much about the language and culture of the island country, but he can still understand some simple greetings, such as the other party's sentence just now, which is asking who he is.
As Li Hui's voice sounded, the old-fashioned residential building instantly fell silent, but just when Li Hui thought that the other party couldn't understand his words, another woman's voice rang out.
"You...... Are you Chinese? โ
Compared with the previous questioning voice, the owner of the latter voice seems to be younger, and the voice is soft and glutinous, according to Li Hui's words, this voice is simply an otaku killer.
"Very well, it seems that some of you can speak Mandarin."
Li Hui said straight to the point: "I have no ill will towards you, the reason why I followed you is mainly to know what is happening in this city, how long have you been here?" Do you know the approximate range of the ghosts? โ
"You're a newcomer to here?"
Hearing Li Hui's question, the woman in the residential building seemed to be very surprised.
After all, as long as you have lived here for a while, you will definitely have some understanding of the situation in this city, and it is impossible to ask this kind of question, so the woman guessed that Li Hui was very likely to be a newcomer who had just entered here, and he was a standard unlucky person.
But after thinking about it, the woman faintly felt that something was wrong, because Li Hui accurately asked the question about the ghost, obviously knowing that there were ghosts roaming the city.
After thinking about it, the woman spoke: "My name is Ikawa Sakuragiko, and I studied at a university in Huaguo, so I can understand Huaguo. โ
"My sister and I have been here for more than three months, and I was ......"
โโฆโฆโ
"There are indeed terrifying ghosts roaming in this city, in your Huaguo words, it means ghosts."
"The ghost's activity area is in the ......"
โโฆโฆโ
The woman in the residential building kept talking, and outside the building, Li Hui listened quietly, and did not interrupt, only asked a few words when the other party said some key information.
In the meantime.
The doors of the residential buildings were kept closed, with no intention of opening.
โฆโฆโฆ
Ten minutes later.
Li Hui carried his hiking bag on his back, turned around and left alone, and went straight in the other direction along this street and alley.
The conversation with the woman of the island country is just a small episode, and the purpose is to learn more about the city, to confirm the general area of the ghost's activities, and it would be better if you could know the killing pattern of the ghost.
But unfortunately, the woman in the old-fashioned residential building doesn't seem to know much.
According to the woman's own statement, her name is Ikawa Sakuragiko, and she and her sister have been living in the city for more than three months.
One day three months ago.
When the ghost painting incident suddenly befell the island nation, the environment of the entire city turned gray, and paper ashes kept falling from the sky.
Then something strange happened.
People continue to die in the city, and the death is strange and bloody, and the most terrifying thing is that after that, Ikawa Sakuragiko actually saw people who were already dead wandering around the city.
No, to be precise, their corpses were wandering around the city, looking sluggish, covered in corpse spots, and terrifying.
Since then, Sakurakiko Ikawa has determined that the city is haunted, and she and her sister have stayed away from the area.
In the days that followed, Ikawa Sakuragiko found that there were fewer and fewer survivors in the city, and today, there were very few living people in the city, so when they saw Li Hui in the supermarket before, they chose to run away as soon as possible.
Because at that time, they were not sure whether Li Hui was a human or a ghost.
โฆโฆโฆ
"The woman was hiding a lot of things."
Walking on the road of the street, Li Hui kept deliberating in his mind the content of the words said by the self-proclaimed 'Ikawa Sakuragiko', with an indifferent expression.
He is not stupid, he can feel the vigilance of the woman in the residential building, which can be seen from the fact that the door of the residential building has not been opened.
And the fact that the two sisters were able to survive in this kind of ghost place for more than three months proves that the two of them are not simple, because the stupid person has long since died, so how can they not defend themselves as strangers.
After all......
In such a ghost place, everyone lives in despair, and people's hearts may be even more terrifying than ghosts!
Therefore, Li Hui felt that even the name 'Ikawa Sakuragiko' was most likely fake, and most of what the other party said was not credible.
But there is one thing Li Hui can be sure of, that is, the activity area of the ghost.
Because there is no need to lie.
It's just that Li Hui doesn't know how much important information the other party has concealed.
But it doesn't matter, as long as you know the general area of activity of the ghost, it is enough to know the general area of the ghost, the ghost and the exit are related, and if you find the ghost, there is a high chance that you will find the exit of the ghost painting with the city as the background.
According to the woman, the area she saw was in the east of the city, and shortly after the ghost painting incident broke out, a wooden building appeared in the east of the city.
At that time, many people went into the wooden building that suddenly appeared to explore, but in the end, none of them came out alive, and all of them died inside.
In this regard, Li Hui also specially asked how he was sure that those people died in the wooden building, and Ikawa Sakuragiko said that she herself had seen the bodies of some of them appear.
The corpses are terrifying, no different from those horrific corpses that have been killed by the ghosts and then roamed the city.
This also indirectly shows that the ghost in the wooden building should be the same ghost who killed the residents in the back.
Of course, it is not excluded that the residents who died later were killed by ghost slaves.
Stomp, stomp!
As Li Hui advanced, he got closer and closer to the east of the haunted city that Ikawa Sakuragi called him, and he also noticed that his surroundings were becoming darker and darker.
Even Li Hui saw figures flashing in the buildings on both sides of the road, and there seemed to be people walking inside, and with a quick glance, Li Hui saw clearly the appearance of one of the figures.
His expression was dull, his eyes were empty, cold, and dead, and his exposed skin was covered with corpse spots, and he was lifeless, with a hint of cold and strange aura.
Those figures are all ghost slaves!
There are a lot of them.
Li Hui roughly counted, and in the few steps he had just taken, he saw no less than ten walking corpses from the buildings on both sides of the road, even if there might be several heavy ones, but the number was more than five or six.
There were more than three ghost slaves in one building, and there were at least thirty or forty buildings on both sides of the road that night.
As he went deeper, the number of ghost slaves in the building also increased dramatically, from three or four walking corpses in one building at the beginning, to five or six in each building now, and the number was still increasing.
At the same time, a strange building at the end of the road also caught Li Hui's eye.
It was a two-story wooden house shrouded in darkness, which seemed to have been abandoned for a long time, and the exposed parts of the wooden house looked dilapidated, most of the planks were damp and moldy, mossy in some places, and even completely rotten in others.
The style of the wooden house is similar to the documentaries that Li Hui watched when he was in Lanxing, not a modern style, a bit like a product of the twenties and thirties of the last century.
Even more eerie is the interior of the wooden house.
There are people walking around in the dark, and the figure is looming, which makes people unreal, revealing a trace of coldness and weirdness.
"Is it a ghost or a ghost slave?"
Li Hui looked at it, the figure was hidden in the darkness, he couldn't see the appearance clearly, but judging from the silhouette of the figure, the other party's figure was unusually tall, and the visual inspection was more than two meters.
In the island country, a height of more than two meters can already be regarded as a 'little giant'.
"Crunch~"
"Bang dang!"
As Li Hui approached, as if some kind of terrifying rule had been triggered, the doors of all the buildings on both sides of the road were opened at this moment.
The internal environment of those buildings was dim and abnormal, and there were figures standing inside the gates, which were the ghost slaves that Li Hui had seen before.
Tread, trample......
The next moment.
Dense and dull footsteps sounded, and all the terrifying-looking and expressionless ghost slaves walked out of the building and gradually walked towards Li Hui's location.
Cold, terrifying...... The temperature on the streets seems to have dropped a lot at this moment.
