Chapter 6 The Ghost Face
outside the old town.
The man who had just unfolded the Forbidden Ruins sat by the notice board, looked back at the half of the old city that was as still as a canvas, shook his head helplessly, took out his phone from his pocket and started playing match 3 games.
"Brother, why are you sitting here playing with your phone in the middle of the night? Aren't you afraid your butt will catch cold?"
Not long after, a pedestrian walked over from the opposite road, and was immediately amused when he saw this scene.
The man looked up at him, then lowered his head and continued to operate, "I have nothing to do, I'm in a hurry."
The pedestrian smiled, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and handed it to the man.
The man waved his hand and said seriously, "During working hours, I don't smoke."
"Hey, you're squatting on the road and playing with your mobile phone. Does that count as work?" Pedestrians were delighted.
"Um."
"Okay." The pedestrian shrugged, stood up and walked towards the street behind the man.
"Where are you going?" the man asked suddenly.
"go home."
"You can't go back, at least not now."
The pedestrian raised his eyebrows, "What do you mean?"
"This road is blocked now, you can go back when it is cleared." The man pointed to the sign behind him.
Pedestrians looked along his fingers and saw the notice board inexplicably standing in the middle of the road. Just as they were about to say something, they saw the four characters "Forbidden ahead" flashed away.
Pedestrians' eyes suddenly froze.
A few seconds later, he turned around stiffly, and walked back the way he came, step by step, his eyes full of confusion...
The man didn't seem to be surprised by this. Just as he was about to continue playing match 3, another man's voice suddenly sounded in the headset.
"Zhao Kongcheng!!"
The moment the voice sounded, the man suddenly sat up from the ground, the leisure and sleepiness on his face disappeared, replaced by absolute seriousness!
"Here! Captain, what happened?"
"Something went wrong. A ghost-masked king was promoted from this group of ghost-masked men. While we were besieging the other ghost-masked men, he violently injured Hong Ying and escaped from the Forbidden Ruins through the sewer."
"Ghost Face King?" Zhao Kongcheng's expression changed, "Which direction did he run to? I'll stop it!
"No, Kongcheng, you are not good at fighting, you can't win against Ghost Face King, I will chase him.
Zhao Kongcheng was taken aback, "Then I..."
"After the ghost-faced king fled, two more ghost-faced men took the opportunity to escape into the sewer, and the others are cleaning up the remaining ghost-faced men."
"Which direction?"
"southeast."
"it is good."
Zhao Kongcheng's eyes flashed brightly, and he ran to the other side of the street at high speed, got into a black van, slammed on the accelerator, and galloped away amidst the buzzing sound.
On his passenger seat, a black and red cloak was neatly folded,
And a sheathed straight knife!
...
"Okay, I'm going to turn the corner here, I'll go first."
Wang Shao stopped, turned his head and said to the four people behind him.
At this moment, Li Yifei seemed to suddenly think of something, and said, "Wang Shao, if I remember correctly, is your home next to the old city?
"Yeah, what's the matter?"
"...It's nothing, remember to be careful on your way back."
The corners of Wang Shao's mouth twitched slightly, and he rolled his eyes, "Say what you have to say, don't hold back halfway through, it will make people feel really uncomfortable."
Li Yifei hesitated for a moment, "I heard that the old town is not peaceful recently, there are perverted killers!
"Perverted murderer? It's real!" Jiang Qian was a little disbelieving.
"Of course it's true!" Li Yifei looked around and lowered his voice, "You may not know about this, but a dozen people have died in the old town in recent days."
"A dozen people? Impossible. If there was such a big movement, the news would have been reported long ago." Wang Shao shook his head.
"Hey, why is it impossible? Let me tell you, this happened strangely. Someone above forcibly silenced the news. If my dad didn't work in the police station, I wouldn't know about it."
"Strange? What's strange?"
"It is said that..." Li Yifei paused, then lowered his voice a little.
"It is said that the entire faces of those who died were stripped off, leaving only a mass of bloody flesh and protruding eyes. The methods were extremely cruel!"
The cool evening breeze blew by, and when they heard these words, the few of them felt a chill rushing from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads!
"Li Yifei! Are you sick? You're talking about this at night!" Jiang Qian was pale, subconsciously looking around the quiet street, and said angrily.
This place is close to the old city, which belongs to the remote area of Cangnan City, and it was nearly ten o'clock after the end of evening self-study, and there was not even a pedestrian on the road, and Li Yifei's words really made people feel a little panicked.
Not only her, but even the two big men Wang Shao and Liu Yuan were a little scared. Wang Shao glanced at the narrow path he was about to walk, and suddenly felt a little guilty...
If what Li Yifei said just made people a little scared, then what Lin Qiye said next would directly make their scalps tingle!
Lin Qiye thought for a moment, then said softly, "Are you sure...these things were done by humans?"
"Qiye, you..." Jiang Qian's delicate body trembled!
The corners of Wang Shao and Liu Yuan's mouths twitched slightly, and the eyes they looked at Lin Qiye suddenly became strange.
Well, Lin Qiye with thick eyebrows and big eyes, who would have thought that you are the one who hides the deepest?
Li Yifei looked at Lin Qiye in surprise, "You think so too?"
"Shut up, shut up, shut up!" Jiang Qian couldn't take it any longer, she stretched out her hand and twisted Li Yifei's arm hard, and the latter cried out in pain on the spot.
"Don't tell ghost stories in the middle of the night!! I have to go home later!"
Li Yifei clutched his arms, grinned in pain, and muttered softly while hiding, "This is not a ghost story..."
Wang Shao shrugged, "I'm not talking nonsense with you here, I don't believe in these monsters anyway, so I'm leaving."
Wang Shao's figure gradually disappeared into the narrow alleyway.
Jiang Qian glared at Li Yifei again, took a few steps forward, and stopped suddenly.
She sniffed hard, frowning slightly,
There was some doubt in his eyes,
Turning around, he said, "Did you smell the stink?"
"Stink?"
"It's that kind of smell, something rotten."
"I didn't smell it, how about you Liu Yuan?"
"I didn't either...vomit!!"
Before Liu Yuan and Li Yifei finished speaking, their expressions suddenly changed. They covered their noses violently and looked around in horror.
Just as Lin Qiye was about to say something, a disgusting stench suddenly poured into his nostrils. This feeling was like throwing a piece of meat that had been rotting for more than ten days into the septic tank, and it was mixed with a dozen stinky smells. The egg liquid is mixed together, and just a sniff makes the stomach juice tumbling violently.
This is the worst smell Lin Qiye has ever smelled after living for so long.
As for Jiang Qian, who had the most sensitive nose, she squatted down and vomited.
"Damn, what stinks so much?!" Li Yifei yelled, covering his nose.
"I don't know." Lin Qiye frowned slightly, and after a while, he pointed to the alley where Wang Shao left.
"But judging by the direction in which the flavor travels, it seems to be coming from there."
The next moment, a miserable scream came from not far away, echoing in the silent night sky.
