The leader among the dozen or so people was a middle-aged Taoist priest who refused to let us in during the day. Some of the remaining people looked familiar and were the believers who had knelt down to worship during the day.
It's just that except for the Taoist priest, all these people's eyes were dull and they looked lost, as if they had lost their souls.
All those people walked into the room and surrounded us, especially the Taoist priest, who looked at us with an unkind look on his face and a sneer at the corner of his mouth.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't help but feel a little numb in my scalp. I could see that these people were not conscious. They had been controlled by someone using some kind of magic, and the person who controlled them was the middle-aged man hiding behind.
Taoist priest.
There are only three of us, and there is no way we can be the opponents of these people. Even if Xu Yang has a gun in his hand, it will be useless, because these people are not afraid at all.
I turned around and made a gesture to Xu Yang, asking him to quickly notify the police outside.
After all, two bodies have been found in this place, so it is natural for the police to come in.
Xu Yang took out his mobile phone with a serious look on his face and sent the message he had already edited. He was an old policeman and had already prepared it before he came in. If he needed colleagues from outside, he only needed to press the send button.
But the police are outside after all, and it will take time to rush in, but it looks like those people are going to attack us now.
Sure enough, as soon as Xu Yang's message was sent, the Taoist priest waved his hand.
Following his movements, those people rushed toward us like controlled puppets.
"What a fool!"
Seeing the person rushing towards him, Duanmuqing couldn't help but cursed, turned around and ran away.
However, the room was very small and the space was not large. There was no place for us to hide, but in the blink of an eye, we were surrounded in the middle.
Xu Yang frowned, held a gun in his hand, and shouted loudly, but those people seemed to not hear his voice and kept moving forward.
"Big ears, what should I do?" Duanmuqing stood next to me, with cold sweat on his head.
"It seems that these people are targeting you." I ignored Duanmuqing and turned to Xu Yang.
As soon as these people entered the room, the Taoist priest's eyes kept falling on Xu Yang, and the people who rushed towards him also stared at Xu Yang. On the contrary, Duanmu Qing and I were like transparent people in front of them.
.
Seeing this, I pulled Duanmu Qing and walked to the side. Sure enough, those people who seemed to have lost their souls didn't pay attention to us at all, but surrounded Xu Yang tightly.
"Big ears, let's just ignore this guy?" Duanmuqing glanced at Xu Yang who was surrounded and said to me.
I shook my head. The situation here was a bit special. If those people who vomited were ghosts, I wouldn't be afraid. At worst, I could just summon the Yin Gate and just close it.
But these people are not ghosts, they are living people. They are just controlled by others, so I can't do anything to them.
Even though Xu Yang was surrounded by these people now, he still didn't shoot.
I took a look at the Taoist priest at the door and knew that these people were all controlled by him. To capture the thief first, capture the king. As long as he was dealt with, the problem would be solved.
I made a gesture to Duanmuqing, and Duanmuqing immediately understood what I meant, and then the two of us moved towards the Taoist priest, one on the left and the other on the right.
But that guy didn't seem to see us, he just looked at Xu Yang who was surrounded, with an indescribable smile on his face.
I looked back and saw that Xu Yang had been caught by those people at this time. Those people grabbed his limbs and lifted him up high, and then stood there motionless.
It's like holding some kind of ceremony.
Xu Yang, who was held up in the air, kept struggling, but it was obvious that his strength alone was no match for those believers, and his pistol fell to the ground and fell right under my feet.
At this moment, the Taoist priest who had been standing at the door moved.
I saw him rushing towards Xu Yang, holding a sword in his hand.
Duanmuqing was closest to him at this time. When he saw the Taoist priest rushing towards him, Duanmuqing cursed and stood in the middle, trying to block the Taoist priest.
But the Taoist priest was obviously a practitioner. As soon as I saw it, he jumped up, jumped over Duanmuqing's head, then pulled out the long sword in his hand, and stabbed Xu Yang into the heart of Xu Yang who was held up in the air.
Seeing this situation, I couldn't help but be shocked. Xu Yang was the captain of the criminal police team. If he died here today, I would have no way to explain.
I can't figure out why this Taoist priest targeted Xu Yang. Could it be that this guy was a bad guy in the past, suffered losses at Xu Yang's hands, and has a grudge against him?
But now is not the time to think about this, because his sword has already fallen, and Xu Yang will stab him to the core in the next moment.
I took a deep breath, squatted down, grabbed Xu Yang's pistol that had fallen on the ground, picked it up and fired twice at the Taoist priest.
Although I had never used a gun, the room was not big and the Taoist priest was close enough to me, so without any surprise, both shots hit him.
The powerful recoil of the pistol made my arms numb slightly, but I didn't care about that now and just stared at the Taoist priest.
After being shot twice, the Taoist body in mid-air swayed obviously, but the sword in his hand still fell.
Xu Yang stared at the long sword with wide eyes, but now that he was caught by someone, he had no way to avoid it. He watched helplessly as the sharp sword blade pierced his chest.
The next moment, the Taoist priest was floating in the air. There were two blood holes in his chest, and he was still bleeding. However, he ignored it and looked at Xu Yang with a smile as he was stabbed in the chest by a sword.
It's like completing some kind of ritual.
Then the Taoist priest sat down cross-legged, muttered a few words, then tilted his head, and it looked like he was dead.
The next moment, a wisp of ghost appeared above his head. The wisp of ghost looked around indifferently, with a trace of ridicule on his face.
Then his body moved, as if he wanted to leave.
I looked at Xu Yang who was stabbed through the chest, and couldn't help but gasped. The sword was stabbing towards his heart. Although I fired two shots and disturbed the Taoist priest, even if it didn't stab his heart, it still wouldn't hurt.
What a disaster!
The tip of the sword came out of his chest, and drops of blood kept dripping on the floor.
Looking at the blood falling to the ground, I couldn't help but frown, because Xu Yang's blood disappeared as soon as it fell, leaving no trace on the ground at all.
It's like there's something hidden under the floor, devouring the blood crazily.
At this time, the ghost of the Taoist priest had floated to the door, and it seemed that he wanted to leave.
I sneered in my heart, waved my hand, and the hook flew out of my hand, directly entangling his ghost.
Being entangled by the soul-seizing rope, the Taoist priest was obviously stunned for a moment and kept twisting and struggling. However, he was now in the body of a ghost, and the soul-seizing rope was his nemesis, and he could not escape at all.
I ignored the Taoist priest and just stared at Xu Yang's blood that kept falling and disappearing on the ground, and I couldn't help but frown.
Because I have a very bad feeling. The current situation seems to be calculated by someone, and that person is waiting for us, or waiting for Xu Yang!
