At the same time, within the Ping'an Ancient Town.

This is the new urban area of ​​the ancient town, which belongs to the tourist area invested and built by Zhongzhou City later.

Feng Quan was left alone in this new city area. Yang Jian told him not to set foot in the old city because he was worried that there were some strange things in the old city area to avoid unpredictable dangers.

He also realized something was wrong in the old city.

So he did not object to Yang Jian's suggestion.

"Everyone's signal disappeared." Feng Quan found a special hotel to check in. He paid attention to the changes in the signal of several people through his satellite positioning mobile phone.

Just before.

Everyone's signal disappeared, including Yang Jian's private cell phone.

He stood by the window and looked.

The direction of the old town of Taiping Ancient Town is dim and gloomy.

Although street lights are also installed, the street lights there seem to be particularly dark, just like the lamp tubes are aging and insufficient power supply, so they cannot illuminate the entire street like here. And this situation seems particularly obvious after nightfall.

But ordinary people will definitely not pay attention to this change.

"There is indeed danger over there." Feng Quan said in his heart.

But at this moment.

Suddenly.

He heard some movement from the corridor outside the door, which was the sound of someone dragging something heavy object through the aisle and walking downstairs.

Feng Quan didn't care at the beginning.

But when the movement came to the stairs, he suddenly turned to the direction where the sound came.

Years of experience tell him that this sound does not happen when dragging an animal, but when someone is dragging a corpse, and the corpse's feet fall on the steps.

Immediately.

He opened the door, walked over with a serious expression, holding a shovel covered with dirt in his hand.

A faint mist floated inexplicably in the corridor.

soon.

Feng Quan came to the stairs and saw two corpses wrapped in bed sheets. The corpse had just died and was still very fresh. The arms exposed outside the corpse were the same as those of normal people's skin, and there was no difference. There was even the residual body temperature on the corpse, which was not completely cold.

The person who dragged the body was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a hotel work clothes, like a cleaning person.

"Sorry, there is a little bit of garbage that needs to be dragged down and dealt with, I hope it doesn't disturb you."

The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at Feng Quan on the stairs, and showed a honest and apologetic smile.

The smile is a little stiff.

It's very unnatural, but there's something that can't be said.

"Don't you report the case immediately after the death?" Feng Quan's face turned gloomy, and he stared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man didn't say anything, but still dragged two bodies wrapped in bed sheets downstairs.

"When Zhongzhou City has no person in charge, I am the person in charge here. You can report the case to me. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I have the right to take you down."

Feng Quan revealed his identity and took out his ID.

But the middle-aged man still walked on his own as if he hadn't heard it.

“Since that’s the case, then…”

Before he finished speaking, thick fog instantly enveloped the corridor. Then next to the middle-aged man, a shovel covered with mud suddenly slapped it hard and hit the man's head.

If a normal person is killed by such a shot, he will at least fall into a coma.

The middle-aged man dragged the body staggered and fell to the ground, and there was no movement immediately.

Feng Quan walked out of the thick fog, and he picked up the middle-aged man, intending to bury the guy first. After all, this is an unstable factor and you can't be careless.

"So light?"

However, the moment he picked it up, the middle-aged man wearing hotel work clothes did not have the weight of a normal adult, but was light and fluttering.

Turn around and take a look.

Feng Quan's face suddenly changed slightly.

This is not a living person at all, but a paper man who sacrifices to burn the dead.

"What did Liu San do?" Immediately, Feng Quan thought of paper man Liu San.

However, he didn't wait for him to think more.

The ghost fog around was quickly dissipating, and a slightly old voice sounded: "The servant who spent three yuan to buy during the discount was shot to death by you with a shovel. It's not good for the customer to do this, and he has to pay for it."

"who?"

Feng Quan shouted softly, and immediately followed the direction of the sound.

He ignored the two corpses on the ground, quickly went downstairs, and then came to the lobby of this small hotel. When he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped.

Then he turned his head and looked at the counter next to him.

An old kerosene lamp was placed on the counter, with yellow lights on it, and a man with an old cloth hat and wrinkles on his face. He was about sixty years old and was lying there. At this moment, he raised his head slightly and looked at Feng Quan.

The two looked at each other.

One was solemn and cautious, the other was smiling, as if he was saying hello.

"An old resident of Taiping Ancient Town?" Feng Quan immediately inferred some information when he saw this man's outfit.

"Your shovel is very unusual. You even slapped my servant to death. It's not easy."

The man said, "How do you plan to compensate me? This is an old object I have been using for decades. One broken item is less. I don't have any extra money to buy it."

"Who are you?" Feng Quan held the shovel, and the lights in the lobby were flashing with hissing.

The thick fog gradually appeared, and soon, the door next to it was completely covered by the thick fog, and then disappeared in front of him.

Everything around was blocked by thick fog, but the lights were still swaying near the kerosene lamp at the front desk of the hotel. The thick fog could not be approached at all, and seemed to be blocked by an invisible supernatural force.

"I am the owner of this hotel. You can call me, Boss Liu."

After saying that, the man grinned and became a little proud.

It seems that being a boss makes him very happy and proud.

"Boss Liu?"

Feng Quan knew that this was a not very important false name as soon as he heard it. He said, "Are you also a ghost controller?"

"Ghost Controller? I'm not, don't talk nonsense, I'm a serious businessman." Boss Liu quickly shook his head and denied it.

"How could a ghost-controlling person have supernatural things?" Feng Quandao.

"It was bought with money, and it was uploaded by the ancestors." Boss Liu said: "You are young, and you look like you are not a human being or a ghost. You don't have to be afraid of scaring others when you go out."

"You killed the two people upstairs?" Feng Quan asked without answering his question.

Boss Liu strongly denied: "Nonsense, I'm doing serious business, how could I kill people and even customers? The two of them didn't know whether they were lucky or unlucky. They accidentally entered Ghost Street and took away the things from Ghost Street. Naturally, they had to pay a heavy price. During the day, I wanted to refuse them to stay in, but the business in the store was not very good recently, so I made an exception and agreed."

"I didn't expect them to die so quickly. I thought they would die in a few days. It seems that they have taken something amazing."

Feng Quan's eyes moved: "Ghost Street? Where is that place."

"Taiping Town Ghost Street is a very famous place, you don't know? Oh, by the way, you are not a local, it's normal not to know. Speaking of Ghost Street, it's an amazing place, and all kinds of strange things are sold..."

Speaking of this, Boss Liu sighed: "It's a pity that time has changed. The prosperous and lively ghost streets in the past have also become dilapidated and declined. As expected, this era no longer belongs to them. Fortunately, I changed careers quickly and opened a hotel. I can earn about one million a year. I can retire and retire after a few years. I hope I can raise enough money before I die and buy a coffin. I heard that cremation has been popular recently, and I don't know if the coffin shop will go bankrupt because of bad business."

Feng Quan paid attention to a few information.

Ghost Street, coffin shop, saving money to buy coffins...

"You are indeed not simple. You know a lot. Do you know about Guihu?" Feng Quan said.

When it comes to Guihu, Boss Liu's face changed immediately.

It's no longer so relaxed, but it becomes a little gloomy.

But soon, Boss Liu squinted his eyes and smiled: "You pay for it first. As long as you have money, you can ask anything, I know."

"How much."

Feng Quan said: "I can transfer any number to you."

He also has the right to mobilize the operational funds of Dachang City, which is easy to take hundreds of millions.

"I want that thing."

Boss Liu pointed to the shovel in Feng Quan's hand: "You can tell at a glance that it is an old object, very valuable, maybe it can be sold for dozens of dollars."

"Do you think I'll give it to you?"

Feng Quan said: "And after taking this thing, you provoked a captain, do you still want to retire safely?"

"So serious."
