Chapter 23: Black Lights and Blind Fire Stealing Heaven
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, two strange black figures appeared outside the wall of the subway culvert construction site where many people had died during the day...
Crouching under the corner, one of the thin figures whispered in a low voice and asked:
"Eighteen, at this time, do you think there are still people keeping vigil at the construction site?"
The slightly stout figure looked around very quickly and responded softly:
"There should be no one. I worked the night shift here some time ago, and by this point, I was already asleep."
"I don't believe it. How many materials are there in such a large construction site, and you are not afraid of people moving them away?"
The thin figure was Cao Xiong, staring with disbelief.
"You old man, don't you believe it? A piece of channel steel in the construction site can be moved by people?
Unless we call a crane and a big truck to move it, who would have the time to do such a thankless task?"
Liu Shiba climbed up the safety wall again, looked inside with vigilance, and shrank back to the corner.
"Old Hei, come here!"
Liu Shiba waved his hand and called in a low voice.
"Whoa!"
In a dark corner not far away, a black shadow suddenly appeared, running softly to Liu Shiba's feet, a pair of green eyes flashing with a cold light.
It was Liu Shiba's grandfather, the old black dog he had raised for fifteen years, and Liu Shiba also brought him tonight.
According to Liu Shiba's wishes, Lao Hei can be responsible for keeping watch, and can also give advance warning in case someone comes.
When the matter came to a close, Liu Shiba was a little hesitant. To be honest, he was a little scared. He had never done such a thing before.
He was a little excited, but more frightened...
You said that you went to an ancient tomb where more than a dozen people died during the day and looked for an ancient corpse that you didn't know existed?
Just thinking about it makes one's hair stand on end...
"Eighteen, climb over the wall and get in, just to make a fool of yourself?"
Cao Xiong cursed dissatisfied.
"Old Cao, is something going to happen? Why do I feel so cold all over? It's dark inside the construction site and it's weird..."
Liu Shiba felt that his hands were shaking a little and his chest felt extremely tight.
"Are you Liu Shiliu's kind? What are you afraid of? As the saying goes, when the moon is dark and the wind is high, people kill people at night, and when the light is dark and the fire is dark, they steal the sky. It's just the right time to do this great business without capital."
Cao Xiong patted Liu Shiba on the shoulder to encourage him.
But Liu Shiba still felt from Cao Xiong's trembling withered hands that the old man was also afraid, and he was not as calm as he said on the surface.
At this time, a strange whirlwind suddenly appeared in the dark night sky, whirling and rolling some dead leaves on the dirt road not far away into the air...
"Huh...huh...huh!"
Liu Shiba and Cao Xiong shrank their necks at the same time, resisting the slightest bit of cold wind, and looked around on the road in fear as they passed by.
That dirt road was a temporary path for hauling construction materials, and there was no light on it...
"Woo...Woo!"
Just as the two were about to stand up and climb over the wall, Lao Hei, who was at Liu Shiba's feet, stood up suddenly, turned around and stared at the dirt road behind them, and roared in a low voice.
"Huh? Is there anyone?"
Cao Xiong narrowed his eyes and quickly squeezed towards the dark place in the corner.
Liu Shiba looked at the dark dirt road in confusion. There was no one there. He suddenly felt a cold wind and his spine went cold...
Reaching out, Liu Shiba stroked Old Hei Guanghua's back a few times, and cursed fearfully:
"Old Cao, forget it? Let's go back..."
Cao Xiong squatted in the corner, staring at the dark dirt road in the distance in surprise, with a trace of white-haired cold sweat streaming down his forehead...
"Impossible, there is no one on the road, why did Lao Hei react so much?"
Cao Xiong looked at Lao Hei with bristling hair and bared teeth in confusion.
Cao Xiong believed in his intuition and his divination skills, but he believed in Lao Hei's eyes even more!
He and Liu Shiba's grandfather had known each other for more than a year or two. Lao Hei's abilities were not limited to that. Although he was old, his ears and nose had not deteriorated...
"Could it be some kind of pheasant, weasel or something?"
Liu Shiba wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and analyzed.
After saying that, Liu Shiba gently patted Lao Hei on the back, touched Lao Hei's ears, and whispered:
"Old Hei, if you can understand, go and see what this thing is?"
Lao Hei whimpered softly, turned around and licked Liu Shiba's face with his tongue, his smart dog eyes flashed for a moment, he reluctantly glanced at Liu Shiba again, and rushed out...
Lao Hei's sprint speed was as fast as lightning, and his steps were silent, like a born ghost in the night, disappearing in a few seconds!
The strange sinister wind was still swirling around the heads of the two of them...
Liu Shiba looked anxiously in the direction of the dark dirt road.
Why did Lao Hei go and not come back?
No movement at all?
Is there really someone there, or something weird...
At this moment, the strange wind stopped, but the night became darker.
There was no light in the sky, the moon and stars disappeared, as if a layer of dark clouds were slowly pressing down, making people's tense nerves even more depressed.
"Whoa!"
Just hearing a soft sound, Lao Hei appeared at Liu Shiba's feet like a ghost, with something in his mouth?
Liu Shiba was shocked. He took it off Lao Hei's mouth and saw that it was a piece of cloth, a black cloth?
Cao Xiong also bent over and crawled over, saying in horror:
"Is there really someone following us? How is this possible? This is a piece of cloth from the hem of trousers, huh? Is there blood on it? Is that person injured?"
Liu Shiba took a closer look and found that there was indeed a blood stain on the palm-sized piece of cloth.
"Okay, Lao Hei is good!"
Liu Shiba praised Lao Hei and patted him on the back.
Turning to look at Cao Xiong, Liu Shiba looked around and said solemnly:
"What should I do? Should I go back or..."
"Go back? You want wealth and wealth in danger. Why don't you get a hammer? The culvert may be gone by tomorrow. Are you willing not to go in and look for it?"
Cao Xiong glared at Liu Shiba and said angrily.
"Gee, isn't it worthwhile to exchange life for happiness? I'm still young. You're not afraid of death, but I am."
Liu Shiba said tangledly.
"Hmph! Now is the best opportunity. If you don't believe it, ask Lao Hei if there is anyone else behind?"
Cao Xiong gave a strange look at Lao Hei, who had a submissive look on his face.
"Ah? Ask Lao Hei?"
Liu Shiba's eyes widened.
Then, Liu Shiba really stayed beside Lao Hei, pointed towards the dark dirt road, and asked in a low voice:
"Old Hei, is there anyone else over there?"
Lao Hei's smart dog eyes flashed for a moment, and he stared at Liu Shiba in confusion. After a few seconds, he followed Liu Shiba's fingers and glanced behind him.
"Woooo..."
Lao Hei wagged his tail in an extremely intelligent way.
"No one?"
Liu Shiba was dumbfounded. He really didn't believe that Lao Hei, a local dog, could understand what he said. How could this be possible?
However, the facts forced him to believe it...
Perhaps, this is why grandpa left Lao Hei to himself?
It's a pity that Lao Hei is getting old and doesn't have a few more years to live...
Liu Shiba bit his lip, thinking about the rich man's clothes at home, turned around and glared at Cao Xiong and said fiercely:
"Old Cao, go in and fuck his mother."
After saying that, Liu Shiba lowered his body and picked up Lao Hei, and first placed him inside the two-meter-high safety wall.
The two of them took a ladder and easily climbed into the dark and gloomy construction site.
After entering, they saw only a faint light flickering in a work shed in the distance. And the hell-like culvert a hundred meters away from the two of them exuded a chilling and strange aura...
