After Yang Jian and Liu Qi left Wang Shanshan's grandmother's house, they began to re-examine the county.
Reality and the supernatural blend, and the living and the dead coexist.
It seemed normal, but in fact everything was full of weirdness. Although the danger was not obvious at the moment, Yang Jian felt a vague sense of uneasiness.
Although his current ability can fight against most supernatural beings and even ghosts, this does not mean that he can walk sideways in supernatural events. Who knows when an extremely terrifying ghost will suddenly appear.
"The county is so big, where can we find Wang Shanshan and the others?" Liu Qi was a little confused at the moment and didn't know where to start.
Tracing and finding people is not his strong point.
"If something is unusual, just look for it. Although this county is bigger than before, it is still within the acceptable range. At most, it will take a little more time." Yang Jian said.
He walked along the street deeper into the county.
He was basically sure that the places he walked along were not dangerous, so he had to go deeper into the county town.
There wasn't a single car on the street at the moment.
The number of pedestrians on the road seemed to have become rarer. Occasionally, one or two people passed by. The faces of the pedestrians passing by were very abnormal, a little pale, and their bodies were stained with supernatural rain. It was unclear whether they were living or dead.
"I'm going to stop a person and ask about the situation," Liu Qi said.
now.
A middle-aged man walked towards me. This middle-aged man was wearing a raincoat and rain boots. His body was wet, as if he had just been caught in the rain. His face was a little pale and his expression was a little dull.
Yang Jian did not reject Liu Qi's proposal.
"Brother, please wait a moment. Can I ask you about the situation here?" Liu Qi asked politely.
But this middle-aged man in a raincoat seemed not to have heard anything and was still walking alone, with no change in his slightly pale face.
Yang Jian stared at the middle-aged man's eyes and found that the middle-aged man's eyes were covered with a thin layer of water vapor, like fog on the glass. This water vapor can block the light, causing the middle-aged man's
The eyeballs are somewhat darkened, but this abnormality is subtle and difficult to detect.
"Wait." Liu Qi stretched out his hand to stop him.
The middle-aged man was still walking forward, turning a deaf ear and ignoring Liu Qi's obstruction.
But when he was about to come into contact with Liu Qi, Liu Qi frowned and retracted his hand.
He was worried that if he stopped him, he would kill someone.
"This person was blinded by a layer of water vapor. He was probably confused by the supernatural and had hallucinations. He really didn't notice it until he didn't observe carefully before. Now it seems that it's not just the person in front of him, but everyone in this town.
I'm afraid that's the case all the time." Yang Jian said.
"No wonder the town has undergone such changes and there are still normal living people walking on the street. It turns out that they are all hallucinating." Liu Qi suddenly realized.
Yang Jian walked over at this moment and pinched the middle-aged man in front of him.
The blackened ghost hand has the ability to suppress a fierce ghost.
Just by touching him, the supernatural power on this middle-aged man quickly dissipated, and the layer of moisture in his eyes quickly disappeared.
soon.
The middle-aged man gradually came back to his senses from his daze and sluggishness.
But the moment he came back to his senses, his eyes immediately became frightened, and his whole body struggled violently and trembled, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying.
"ah!"
The middle-aged man struggled to free himself from Yang Jian's hand and screamed in despair.
"It's embarrassing for a grown man to be like this." Yang Jian casually threw it on the ground.
The man fell heavily, perhaps because of the pain, or perhaps because of Yang Jian's words. He calmed down a little, became less frightened and more rational.
"Dead, dead, all dead... leave here quickly, leave here quickly, there are ghosts here, we can't stay here, there are ghosts everywhere, many people have died." The man collapsed on the ground, shouting loudly
He shouted, looking a little crazy, as if he recalled some very terrible things.
Liu Qi reached out and put on a pair of gloves at this moment, and then hit the man hard on the face: "Don't yell, we are not ghosts, we are here to save you."
"It's really troublesome." Yang Jian couldn't help but want to steal his memory at this moment, so as not to waste time and ask more questions.
After being slapped hard by Liu Qi, the middle-aged man calmed down completely. Instead, he became a little angry: "You dare to hit me? Do you know who I am?"
Liu Qi looked coldly and slapped him in the face again: "We are the person in charge of handling supernatural incidents at the headquarters. Whoever you are, if you don't cooperate with us, it is reasonable to kill you here now."
After saying that, he took out a pistol and put it directly on the middle-aged man's head.
"Brother, I'm sorry."
The cold metal touched his forehead, making the middle-aged man tremble with fear. The current threat outweighed the fear of the supernatural in his heart.
"I'm asking you an answer, don't hide it." Liu Qi then took back his pistol and said coldly.
"Okay, okay." The middle-aged man nodded quickly.
Liu Qi continued to cross-examine.
This middle-aged man's name is Zheng Xiaorong. He is a native of Baishui Town. He runs a restaurant in Baishui Town and is considered a pretty big boss.
"You said the town is haunted? Where exactly is the haunted place?" Liu Qi asked.
"At night, ghosts wandered around the town. There were many and they were very scary. At first I thought someone was lying to me, but then I saw it with my own eyes... people kept dying, and then it started to rain in Baishui Town.
, many people want to escape here, but they don’t know why they can’t get out, and everyone is trapped in the town.”
This man named Zheng Xiaorong told with some horror the terrible things that happened in the small town.
"It was Xiao Yang who did it. His ghost rain covered the town, infecting everyone with supernatural powers. The rain turned into water vapor and covered the eyes of the living people, causing them to hallucinate and keep wandering in the town." Yang Jian.
He said with a calm face.
Liu Qi nodded and continued to ask: "What else did you see after it rained?"
"No, I don't know. I just thought the rain was weird, so I put on my raincoat and wanted to escape from Baishui Town. But after walking in the rain, I lost consciousness. I was in a daze, as if I was sleepwalking. I don't know how long it took, and today
I suddenly woke up." Zheng Xiaorong said.
"By the way, when I tried to escape from Baishui Town, I saw a lot of people appearing in the rain. Those people didn't hold umbrellas or wear raincoats. These people only appeared at night. I doubt that those people who didn't hold umbrellas in the rain had any reason at all.
They're not people, they're all ghosts. It's so scary here, there are ghosts everywhere, they blend in with the crowd and people can't tell them apart."
Then he remembered something and hurriedly added.
"Do ghosts appear at night? Or is it because of the supernatural rain that the ghosts in the town emerge." Yang Jian thought about it.
"So we have to wait until night?" Liu Qi said.
Yang Jian said: "Maybe night is when the supernatural and reality meet. In that case, it doesn't matter if you wait a few more hours. Your name is Zheng Xiaorong, right? Leave Baishui Town now while it's still dark, and follow this road
Keep going straight and you will get out of here smoothly."
He pointed in a direction and motioned for him to leave.
Hearing this, Zheng Xiaorong hurriedly ran away, but after walking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and ran back, knelt down with a thud, and begged: "My wife is still in Baishui Town, I beg you to save her, let me
Leave with her."
"I've never heard you say that you have a wife before," Yang Jian said.
"I was so nervous and scared that I didn't remember it for a while." Zheng Xiaorong said with some shame.
"Your wife is not the only one who has trouble in the whole town. I want to save you by yourself. I won't wander around Baishui Town alone just to save your wife. There is not much time left for you. Now you still have about three people."
I have been looking for your wife for a few hours, but once it gets dark, you won't be able to help me anymore." Yang Jian said coldly.
Zheng Xiaorong's expression changed after hearing this. He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, stood up, turned around again and ran towards the outside of Baishui Town.
Liu Qi watched with cold eyes, accustomed to Zheng Xiaorong's departure.
Among supernatural events, this kind of thing is nothing.
He is also a person who has experienced a lot of darkness in human nature.
Yang Jian and Liu Qi did not continue to investigate the anomalies in the town. They decided to wait until dark before taking action.
And during this time.
Without the burning of Yang Jian's will-o'-the-wisp, the dark clouds that had dissipated before unexpectedly gathered together again. Then the cold drizzle began to fall, and the small town that had finally seen sunshine returned to its previous appearance.
Because the weather has turned bad again, the town seems to be getting dark a little faster.
It was only after five o'clock, and the town was already dark, like night.
"It's officially nighttime at six o'clock." Yang Jian and Liu Qi stood under the eaves of a house to take shelter from the rain. He looked at the time and said suddenly.
"Six o'clock? Is it the same time as the ghost post office?" Liu Qi said.
Although he has never been to the Ghost Post Office, he has seen the archives. He will pay special attention to the supernatural events related to Yang Jian.
Yang Jian said: "In most supernatural events, the night does not start at twelve o'clock, but at six o'clock in the afternoon, so Baishui Town should also start to enter the night at six o'clock."
"Day and night are reversed, reality and supernatural alternate. You have to be careful, don't accidentally die here. If you regret it, I can send you away from Baishui Town now. Don't show off."
Liu Qi said: "I am sensible, don't worry."
Yang Jian nodded without further persuasion.
After a while, six o'clock arrived on time.
There was obviously some light before, and the surrounding buildings could be seen clearly, but as six o'clock arrived on time, the surrounding light seemed to suddenly disappear, and it completely entered the dark night.
at the same time.
"Tsk! Tsk!"
There was a sound like an electric current, and a neon sign on the store in the surrounding building suddenly flashed, and the lights turned on in the dark environment.
The colorful light spread, slightly dispersing some of the darkness, so that the Baishui Town would not be blind.
The rain in the sky continues to fall.
However, on the rain-covered street, a figure gradually turned from illusion to reality, and actually appeared before his eyes in just a short moment.
One, two, three... densely packed figures appeared, and the street in the rain was actually filled with people. These people were separated by a certain distance, their heads slightly lowered, walking on the road in the rain.
The slightly noisy footsteps came from the quiet, dark environment.
"Good guy." Liu Qi's eyes suddenly shrank when he saw this, and he was shocked.
Countless people wandering in the rain? Are they really people? Or are they just ghosts?
This is really an incredible scene.
"Crunch."
suddenly,
The door of the shop next to the street slowly opened at this moment. The shop was dark, but some strange noises could be vaguely heard inside.
Not just a street store.
On the entire street, more than half of the shops facing the street have opened their doors. In addition, yellow lights are also lit in the windows of some buildings.
Baishui Town, which was deserted before, suddenly became lively at night.
"A scary county." Yang Jian squinted his eyes, his ghostly eyes full of supernatural interference.
The entire county seemed to be constructed by supernatural beings, and no place was normal.
If ordinary people enter here by mistake, they have little hope of leaving alive.
Liu Qi seemed to notice something at this moment, and he looked down slightly.
In the gap of the sewer beside the road, a pair of eyes covered with bloodshot eyes, almost split at the corners, stared at him.
Liu Qi's expression suddenly changed and he subconsciously took a step back.
"Clang!"
The manhole cover made a sound, as if something had pushed it open, and an arm covered with scratches, bruises, and rotten wounds stretched out from under the manhole cover.
The arm was very long, sticking to the ground and stretching towards Liu Qi.
Yang Jian also noticed it. He opened his ghost eyes, and the beating ghost fire lit up the strange arm.
The ghost's arm was burned at this moment and he immediately retracted it.
But at the dark sewer entrance, those bloodshot eyes did not disappear. Instead, they stared at Liu Qi even more viciously.
"A ghost is wandering in the sewer, but it looks like the ghost can't attack people who are far away from the sewer entrance." Yang Jian was waiting for the ghost to come out, but the ghost did not react.
Liu Qi said with a solemn expression: "It seems that this place is really full of dangers. It is simply a complete ghost town. When Wang Shanshan came here, no wonder she lost contact. The residents of Baishui Town are probably the same."
"But in this situation, can Wang Shanshan and others really survive?"
"Don't underestimate the ghost child next to Wang Shanshan. She is definitely still alive, and I can be sure that there are still many people who have survived in Baishui Town." Yang Jian said, looking at the pedestrians wandering on the road in the rain.
Most of these pedestrians are living people.
However, their status is very special, similar to the previous situation of Zheng Xiaorong and Wang Shanshan's grandmother. They are in an unconscious state. Although there are no signs of life, some kind of supernatural power has kept these people from dying.
In this hellish place, this state is actually a kind of protection.
If he guessed correctly, this should be done by the person in charge of Dashan City.
The supernatural rain corrodes the living people, not harming them, but protecting them.
