To tell the truth, Jiang Yue was indeed concerned about his family being trapped in it, but he did not lose his sense of proportion.
During the trip to Panshiling, Jiang Yue got the biggest revelation: the descendants of the old Jiang family are definitely not that easy to lose heart.
Over there, there were two trusted members, including Master Liu and his female assistant, a total of five people.
On Jiang Yue's side, there were four.
It can be seen that the relationship between Luo Chu's Operations Department 3 and Director Gao's Operations Department 5 is obviously very bad. Even among the team members, there is also some vague antagonism.
This can be judged from the interaction between Yang Cong and the other two team members. Their noses are not noses, and their eyes are not eyes.
Gao Chu obviously didn't have a good attitude towards Luo Chu either.
Apart from anything else, there was no reservation at all in what they said to each other. Every word was a gun and every sentence was a stick.
"Old Gao, okay! With the help of a master, I'm really brave. However, our bureau's funds can't support it if we handle cases like you do. If we go in for a long walk, it will cost tens of millions. Oh, I
If I’m not good at math, who will calculate the appearance fee?”
"I can calculate, I can calculate. One minute is 300,000 yuan, and one hour is 18 million. If the master walks around for more than six hours, the appearance fee will be over 100 million." After all, Sangou is close to having a primary school diploma.
Yes, this multiplication is still possible.
After finishing the calculation, I didn’t forget to leave one or two comments.
"Second brother, is it so profitable to be a magician? I even want to change my career, is it too late?"
Jiang Yue chuckled: "Do you have a little golden man? Do you have a big gold watch? Do you have big sunglasses?"
"Without these, you still can't be a magic stick?" Sangou was disappointed.
Master Liu on the side had a dull expression, and his mental quality seemed to be excellent. The two brothers were teasing each other, but he didn't seem to take it to heart.
Quite a bit of a master's mind.
Director Gao, on the other hand, said coldly: "Lao Luo, Master Liu was invited by me, so your people should be more respectful."
Luo Chu smiled: "You all know that you invited me here, not me. Besides, Xiao Jiang is my friend, not my subordinate. I can't keep my mouth shut about what others want to say, right?"
Master Liu suddenly smiled strangely: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way. Since ancient times, trouble has come from the mouth. I, Mr. Liu, am a moral man and will not care about them. However, if I enter the Ten Jue Death Land, if I can't control this mouth
If you stay here, you'll get into trouble every minute, and you don't know how you'll die by then."
As he spoke, the compass in his hand was compared with the sky.
Seeing the serious and serious look on Master Liu's face, Jiang Yue didn't know for a moment how much background he had.
He didn't care about the other party's mysterious suit and walked towards one of the entrances.
"etc!"
Master Liu suddenly shouted.
"What?" Luo Chu said with a smile, "Master, what advice do you have?"
"That entrance leads to the underground parking lot. It is the most terrifying and dangerous forbidden area in the Ten Jue Death Lands. Are you sure you want to go in there?"
The underground parking lot is built underground. From a metaphysical point of view, it is more forbidden and gloomy. Generally speaking, ghost houses are built underground.
Therefore, when building an underground parking lot, some Feng Shui layouts must be made to offset and isolate the Yin Qi when construction begins.
But despite this, underground projects are always relatively gloomy.
Therefore, many strange events often occur in underground parking lots and similar underground worlds.
"What does Master mean?" Luo Chu asked with a smile.
"God has a good life. Although you guys make me a little dissatisfied, after all, I can't just watch you die. Forget it, you guys, follow me. I can't guarantee that I can keep you safe.
, but it’s better than you taking the initiative to die!”
Although Master Liu smells like copper, he seems to be a truly moral man, with a sense of pity and pity for others.
Gao Dao snorted coldly but did not object.
Jiang Yue suddenly said: "Forget it. There is a saying that goes well, put it to death and then live. There is no absolute death in the world, even if it is a dead end, there will always be a glimmer of life. Instead, Master, your gold watch
It was so dazzling that I couldn’t even open my eyes. I was afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?"
"I have also heard an old saying, reaching out for money in the coffin. I heard that those ghosts and evil spirits are just like us humans, and they are also greedy for money. You are so glittering and rich, I am afraid that if you follow the master, you will
It’s easier for ghosts to miss you.”
"Pfft!" Luo Chu laughed like a pig.
This Xiaojiang is a bad person. He doesn’t use any curse words when he curses, but every word hurts his heart. Isn’t this an obvious irony that the other person is jealous of money and reeks of copper?
Master Liu still didn't get angry, and murmured: "It's stubborn, it's not working, it's stubborn."
Then he said to Gao Guang: "Since they are determined to die, I have nothing more to say. Gao Guang, let's go in through this door."
As he spoke, Master Liu's compass seemed to have located something, and pointed in a direction, which was the south gate of the mall.
Gao Guang snorted coldly: "It's just right. I don't want those unscrupulous people to follow. Who knows whether they are humans or ghosts!"
Luo Chu chuckled and actually didn't refute.
After they took a few steps, he suddenly said: "Master, one last question, your appearance fee is so expensive, does Lao Gao get any kickbacks?"
Master Liu's palace is very deep and his cultivation is very good.
No matter how much Luo Chu and Jiang Yue provoked him, he never fell out of favor and always maintained the magnanimity of a Taoist master.
The hair was blown high.
"Lao Luo, you can eat as much as you want, but don't talk nonsense. What evidence do you have that I will take kickbacks?"
Luo Chu looked innocent: "I have no evidence, so I asked Master Liu. I didn't ask you, so why are you excited? You don't really have any problems, do you?"
"I'm warning you, don't spit on anyone!"
"Since there is no problem, why are you so excited?" Luo Chu shrugged, with a strange look on his face.
Master Liu stopped Gao Guang: "Let's go, with a few people who are about to die, why bother to show off your words?"
Dying person?
Jiang Yue smiled coldly, it was hard to say who was about to die.
After watching them enter the door, Jiang Yue said: "Come on, let's take a detour. There should be a west gate over there. Let's go in through the west gate."
"Don't take the underground passage?" Luo Chu was surprised.
"I was just bluffing them to see if this Master Liu has real talent or knowledge."
"Then what?" Luo Chu was curious.
"I can't tell the difference. If this master doesn't have real talent and knowledge, he is definitely at the level of an actor. Those actor actors on TV are just scum compared to him." Jiang Yue said matter-of-factly.
"What kind of bullshit master? I think he is just a magician who cheats money. If he really enters any of the ten most dangerous places, this kind of magician will be the first to die!"
Sangou couldn't be more angry.
I, Mr. Sangou, was gifted with yin and yang eyes, and now I am still a man who has relied on my ancestral fate. I show up for free, but you, a magician, charge so much?
I have to say that after the calculation just now, that number made Sangou feel extremely unbalanced.
A group of four people quickly walked around to the west gate.
The west door is not locked, it is a glass sliding door common in shopping malls.
Obviously, when the incident occurred, the mall was still open and all doors were open.
This status has remained until now without any changes.
However, after walking through the glass door, passing through a curtain, and passing through a fire escape, the group of four finally entered the mall.
Jiang Yue took out his cell phone and looked at it.
Sure enough, after entering the mall, the mobile phone signal was lost.
Jiang Yue backed out of the original road and walked ten meters out of the shopping mall. The signal was restored again.
After going in and out like this several times in a row, Jiang Yue was sure that there was no signal only in the shopping mall.
Sangou and Luo Chu both looked strange. To test the mobile phone signal, do you need to go in and out a few times?
"Luo Chu, did you find anything?"
Luo Chu shook his head: "Why do you feel that everything is normal? Apart from the fact that there is no one around, I don't see any problems."
Sangou also followed suit: "I didn't see anything either."
There really isn't anything weird about it.
Jiang Yue's feeling was the same as that of Luo Chu Sangou, and there was nothing unusual about it.
Jiang Yue didn't even feel the slightest bit of death energy in Master Liu's so-called Ten Ultimate Places of Death.
This point is obviously different from Yunxi Town and Panshiling.
When I first entered Yunxi Town, I didn't notice anything unusual at first, but the weird atmosphere that enveloped everything was everywhere.
Not to mention Panshiling and Jiuliting.
Wherever ghosts gather, even if the ghosts are well hidden, with Jiang Yue's current weird sensitivity, he can always find clues.
However, Jiang Yue found no clues in Yunshan Times Square.
Sangou, with his God-given yin and yang eyes, also couldn't see anything interesting.
"Could it be that there is a more terrifying ghost lurking in this shopping mall? It can actually contain its aura to a seamless level?"
If such a terrifying ghost really exists, then its terrifying level will definitely not be inferior to that old Yin Coin from Zhao Shouyin.
Luo Chu was about to lead everyone towards the opposite side.
But Jiang Yue stopped him: "Luo Chu, don't worry, let's avoid Master Liu and the others and try not to face them."
Strangely enough, Master Liu and the others entered the shopping mall through the south gate. Although the shopping mall was supposedly large, it was empty after all.
Even if the two groups of people enter from different doors, it should be easy for them to meet each other once they enter the mall. After all, they are just two groups, and there is no visual barrier at all.
The strange thing is that Master Liu and his group of five entered the first floor of the shopping mall from the south gate, and Jiang Yue and his group entered the first floor from the west gate. The two groups did not meet each other, and they did not even hear each other's movements.
Regarding this, Jiang Yue's first thought was what happened to the Jiang family ancestral hall.
He and Sangou entered the lobby of the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall at the same time, but the two of them were strangely not together.
Early the next morning, Sangou said that he had been in the lobby all night.
And he, Jiang Yue, was also in the lobby one night.
Sangou said he saw his grandfather, and Jiang Yue also saw his grandfather.
It's as if two people have entered two completely different parallel times and spaces.
Is this the same situation in this mall?
However, Jiang Yue observed it for a while, and it didn't seem like it. The space world in front of him didn't seem to have that sense of mystery.
So, where are the five living people on the other side?
Through gestures, Jiang Yue signaled Luo Chu and the others to go upstairs.
The whole shopping mall, the ground engineering is actually the fourth floor.
The main area is only on the third floor. Apart from a large cinema and a VR experience hall, there is nothing else on the fourth floor.
The escalators in shopping malls are actually still working, but they are relatively static when there are no people around.
Jiang Yue did not take the elevator, but chose the fire stairs.
A group of four people arrived on the second floor, but still found no one. All the merchants in the mall had their doors open.
The shops on the second floor mainly focus on clothing, including men's, women's and children's clothing, as well as some other specialty boutiques, and of course a few jewelry shops.
Except for the absence of people, everything else looks like normal business.
There didn't seem to be any signs of a fight or conflict at the scene.
It was as if the entire shopping mall had disappeared out of thin air.
Luo Chu stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.
For any strange incident, as long as you are willing to dig carefully, you can always find some clues.
However, he just went through a lot of digging in the details, but couldn't find any useful clues.
There is nothing weird about it, but it seems even weirder.
Jiang Yue walked slowly along the way. Every time he passed a store, his eyes searched everywhere, not missing any detail.
Suddenly, Jiang Yue stopped.
To be precise, he stopped in front of a women's clothing store.
His eyes stopped on a pot of green plants.
This is a pot of pothos, a very common green plant. Many pots of pothos will be placed in newly renovated work and home decorations, which are said to absorb formaldehyde.
Of course, this is not the point.
The point is, Jiang Yue discovered something among the lush green vine leaves.
This thing is actually familiar to him!
A women's watch, the workmanship is quite exquisite, the style is good-looking, but it is not a luxury watch, it is just an ordinary domestic brand worth a few hundred yuan.
The most important thing is that this watch looks very familiar to Jiang Yue.
A year ago, on my sister's birthday, her best friend gave her a watch of the same style.
And the one in front of me is clearly my sister's watch.
The hands of the watch are still ticking and running well as usual.
"Xiao Jiang, what did you find?"
"This is my sister's watch." Jiang Yue's face looked gloomy.
According to Jiang Yue's observation, this watch was definitely not left here, but was specially picked off by his sister and placed in the green radish bush.
In other words, it is possible that something happened to my sister and the others in this store.
But what could happen?
If it was an emergency, there shouldn't be time to take off the watch calmly and put it in the pothos bush without being discovered?
This shows that given the situation at that time, my sister at least still had plenty of time.
Many strange events before, whether it was year eaters, replicators, or evil spirits harming people, were basically caught off guard.
The victim will never be given any time to react, let alone take off his watch calmly.
Moreover, judging from the scene, it was obvious that no fierce fighting took place here.
With the temperament of my sister and my sister-in-law, even if they encounter a dangerous situation, it is impossible not to resist wildly. These two are the kind of masters who will risk their lives without necessarily giving in.
Jiang Yue had no doubt about this.
Lao Jiang's family is so strong.
But why wasn't there a fight?
The opportunity to take off the watch shows that personal freedom was not completely lost at that time.
If ghosts restrict personal freedom, they will never allow you to take off your watch, let alone hide it from these ghosts.
But if it weren't for ghosts, it would be obviously impossible to kill everyone without damaging the scene at all.
After all, at that time, there were at least several hundred people in the mall!
If you want to kill hundreds of people at the same time, how much noise will you make? The situation will never get out of control at all.
Luo Chu suddenly waved his hand: "Xiao Jiang, come here and take a look."
Jiang Yue walked over and Luo Chu stopped in a fitting room.
"Look at this fitting room, there is a clear difference between it and several other fitting rooms."
When Jiang Yue compared them, he immediately noticed the difference.
The door of the fitting room that Luo Chu pointed out was just a wooden board with some neat depressions in the middle. It was obvious that there should be a fitting mirror above it.
Because the doors of several other fitting rooms have fitting mirrors inlaid on them.
"Xiaojiang, this sunken part must be a dressing mirror. Moreover, this dressing mirror must have been broken in a short period of time and was cleaned up."
Jiang Yue nodded.
It can be clearly seen that the exposed wood in the missing part of the dressing mirror is very new, and there are no daily stains on it.
"Huh? There seems to be blood stains on it?"
Next to the fitting room, there was a row of exquisite women's clothes hanging on the shelves, which looked normal.
Luo Chu pointed to one of the gauze skirts and told Yang Cong: "Cut off the sleeves of this skirt."
Yang Cong put on white gloves, took out the tools for handling the case, and carefully followed Luo Chu's instructions. He cut off the sleeve and put it into the sampling bag.
Except for a little suspected blood stain on the sleeve, several people checked around for a long time and found nothing else.
If it was a blood stain, it shouldn't be in this spot.
Looking at this scene, I can't find any second clue to prove it.
There is not a single stain on the walls, ceiling, or floor.
etc……
Luo Chu suddenly stopped and said, "Xiaojiang, the floor here is very clean. It's nine o'clock in the evening, which should be business hours. How come the floor is so smooth and spotless? The floors of several stores we walked through before seemed to be stained.
Not so neat?"
Almost at the same time that Luo Chu spoke, Jiang Yue noticed this.
"What we saw is by no means the first scene. This place must have been tidied up!"
Luo Chu looked around and saw that there were several surveillance cameras in the store.
The surveillance in the store can definitely be viewed by the computer in the store.
Luo Chu walked to the computer and motioned to Yang Cong to collect fingerprints on the mouse and the table first.
Yang Cong stepped forward and then said with a grimace: "Luo Chu, the fingerprints on this mouse have been wiped by someone, and there is nothing left."
Luo Chu didn't seem surprised at all.
He sighed: "I estimate that the monitoring in the computer must have been deleted."
Indeed, as Luo Chu guessed, not only were the monitoring records deleted, but the real-time monitoring was also obviously sabotaged and no longer works.
This is a little unusual.
What kind of monster is responsible for this crime?
Do monsters grow so fast? They have learned how to counter-reconnaissance? If they continue to grow at this rate, wouldn't the future of mankind become even more pessimistic?
Just thinking about it.
The computer screen suddenly went black.
The lights in the store also went out at the same time.
All electricity-related equipment suddenly stopped functioning.
The power is out!
Fortunately, it's broad daylight, so even if all electrical equipment is disabled, there is no problem with lighting. Although the mall is a closed structure, the top floor is a glass structure, so lighting is not a big problem.
Jiang Yue and Luo Chu looked at each other, both somewhat suspicious.
Last night, such a big incident happened, and the power was not cut off. There is no reason why the mall was empty the next day and the power was cut off instead?
Moreover, shouldn’t each merchant’s electricity be turned off after they close their business?
Looking at this neat power outage, it is obvious that the main power supply was turned off, and the power supply to the entire mall was completely cut off.
The power was out, and although it wasn't completely dark, the light was obviously not enough to conduct any further investigation on site.
Just as Luo Chu was about to speak, Jiang Yue suddenly made a gesture.
Signaling others to go to the inner room.
Jiang Yue crouched and lurked behind the cash register.
Footsteps.
Jiang Yue heard slight footsteps, and they were the footsteps of four people.
Although the footsteps were muffled, as if they were tiptoeing to avoid making any sound, Jiang Yue's enhanced body function allowed his hearing to be several times higher than that of ordinary people.
This deliberately suppressed footsteps could not be hidden from the eyes and ears of ordinary people, but it could not be hidden from Jiang Yue.
The footsteps came from the fire escape on the other side. From the first floor, to the second floor, and then continued to approach the third floor.
Jiang Yue pricked up his ears and listened for a while, and recognized that the footsteps were indeed coming from Gao Dang and Master Liu.
The strange thing is that there are clearly five people in their group, but the footsteps displayed are only four.
Where did the other person go?
Are the troops divided into two groups?
It is obviously unreasonable to divide the troops like this. Four people will do one route, and one person will do one route?
What was even more strange was that when Jiang Yue heard their footsteps, they had just appeared on the first floor.
So where were they before?
If they were in a shopping mall, Jiang Yue would have heard their footsteps long ago.
Jiang Yue suddenly had a thought: "Basement! They must have gone to the basement before!"
This was definitely not a whim. After careful deduction, Jiang Yue was at least 90% sure that these people must have been on the underground floor.
The sound insulation between the underground floor and the ground floor is stronger and is completely isolated. However, there is no obvious isolation between the buildings on the ground floor and they are all interconnected and open, so the sound insulation effect is relatively poor.
If these people had been in the mall for such a long time, they would not have encountered each other once, or even heard their voices.
There is only one explanation, they must have been on the underground floor before.
This operation is a bit evil.
Previously, Master Liu kept saying that the underground parking lot was the most dangerous place in the Ten Jue Death Zone, and warned them not to enter the mall through the underground opening.
Who knew that they entered the mall from the south gate and went to the underground floor instead?
No matter how you look at it, there is an air of conspiracy here.
Master Liu threatened them in all kinds of ways, maybe he didn’t want them to go to the underground floor?
Or is it that Master Liu and Gao Gao hold a grudge against them, thinking that they entered the mall through the underground entrance and were going to the underground floor to trap them?
Various possibilities existed, and Jiang Yue found it difficult to draw a conclusion for the moment.
"Master, these cowardly people didn't come in, did they?"
Jiang Yue heard the sound from high above clearly.
Although the distance between them was at least several tens of meters, the voices from higher up were obviously lowering their throats.
Jiang Yue felt a little bit strange. Although his body functions had been strengthened a lot, when did his hearing become so good?
Master Liu said sadly: "Whether they come in or not, if they offend me Liu, their good life will not last long."
