Returning from the abyss

Chapter 732 Night Watch
Even though Lu Ning had a lot of dissatisfaction with Duan Ye, there was still one thing she couldn't deny, that people like herself were able to leave the Red Prison so easily, and Duan Ye's credit must be indispensable.

When she thanked Duan Ye, Duan Ye just shrugged his shoulders: "I didn't expect you to hear a few more words, don't ask more, how about it? Just like we did before, if I don't say it, you don't ask it either. "

"You definitely didn't come here just to protect Zhou Shilan and Chen Hang." Lu Ning said.

"It's fine if you don't say it?" Duan Ye's mouth twitched, "It's time like this, how about not worrying about these things? Since I helped you get out of there, at least I'm not a bad person, right?"

It may be true that he is not a bad person, but it is hard to say whether it will hinder everyone.However, Lu Ning didn't want to waste time with him here, so it was important to find them quickly.

Everyone seemed to be thrown out of the Red Prison, scattered around the six buildings.On a piece of lawn, Yan Zidan saw Xin Mi, who had suffered a little injury on her arm, and was trying to stop the bleeding. She was a medical worker, so nothing serious happened.But then it was discovered that Deng Zhiyi's problem was a bit serious. Her position was on the fitness equipment at the back of the building, and her entire right arm was in a purple-red state of decay.

"She has something from the Red Prison implanted in her body?" Duan Ye raised his eyebrows.

"...Yes." Xin Mi knelt down to check on the unconscious Deng Zhiyi. The stench emanating from this arm showed the seriousness of the situation, and Xin Mi's face became more and more serious.

"Amputation." Duan Ye said, "Things from that place cannot be brought out."

In other words, he also knew that Chen Hang could no longer leave?this person……

Lu Ning glanced at Duan Ye from behind, and couldn't understand what he wanted to do anymore.Xin Mi pulled out the scalpel and began to cut Deng Zhiyi's arm. In an emergency, there were no more conditions. Duan Ye used a method that looked like acupuncture as a means of stopping bleeding, and asked Xin Mi to cut Deng Zhiyi's arm. down.

slap.

As soon as the rotten arm fell off Deng Zhiyi's body, it immediately turned into a soft and rotten meat paste, and even the bones could not be seen.

"None of you have implanted limbs in the Red Prison, right?" Duan Ye asked again worriedly.

"No, we are also worried that there is something wrong with those things, except that Zhiyi thinks that we need to strengthen our strength to explore the Red Prison." Xin Mi helped Deng Zhiyi bandage the wound, Duan Ye clicked his tongue, and stretched out his hand to press on the back of Deng Zhiyi's head A few times, woke her up.

"What? I..."

"It's okay, we came out, it's just—" Xin Mi comforted in a low voice.Deng Zhiyi blinked, and soon realized what happened, but his expression was not bad, instead he grinned: "We succeeded? That's great!"

This reaction was startling.Deng Zhiyi turned his head and glanced at his wrapped arm, and said with a smile: "I thought I would have to pay a higher price to escape from that kind of place. You are really lucky with just one arm, how about you? Are you okay? "

"Because only the arm strengthening muscles you implanted there..."

"Okay, Xin Mi, I know, I'm not the kind of person who makes people laugh. Wait a minute, where are Brother Long and those two girls?"

Deng Zhiyi's address is always so magical, no, she is actually very magical.

They looked around all the places outside the six buildings, but they didn't find any trace of the remaining three people.Duan Ye didn't wait for these people to speak this time, he took off his shoes and threw them out, this time pointing at the road outside the Qixing apartment building.

"What time is it?" Xin Mi asked.

"03:30 in the morning." Yan Zidan checked the time on his phone, "We didn't stay inside for too long, but..."

On winter nights, there is always mist.Under the illumination of street lamps, it scatters pale or dim light.Tongfang Town hadn't really turned into a colorful city yet, the sky was dark, and the surrounding environment seemed even more gloomy despite the light.

At such times, even crossing the road feels like crossing the River Styx.

Across the road is a park, which is not small in size, but it doesn't seem to be fully completed.It can be seen that many trees and bushes have not been planned, and only some places are paved with stone roads for people to walk, which is a half-assed project.The dense trees and bushes brought great trouble to the search for work, but under the leadership of Duan Ye, no one in the crowd shouted.

Lu Ning asked Yan Zidan to call Zhou Shilan to see if she could find someone in this way.Unexpectedly, the call was successfully connected.

"Hey……"

Zhou Shilan's trembling voice came from inside.

"Zhou Shilan, where are you? We're looking for you!" Yan Zidan said.

"Is it really Dandan? Me, Qian Yipeng, Brother Long, the three of us are in the police station now." Zhou Shilan said hastily.

Good normal answer.

"Where's the police station? We'll go there right away." Xin Mi moved closer and said.

"Brother Long is negotiating with the police. We are at the Heijian Street Police Station. You should be able to find the location on your mobile phone..." Zhou Shilan whispered, "I always feel that something is wrong, and you should be careful when you come here!"

Lu Ning went back and drove the car over. Xin Mi was from here, knew the location of the police station, and sat in the co-pilot to guide the way.

The Tyndall effect of headlights in the mist is even more chilling, as if the fog ahead is endless.In the middle of the night, it is normal for there to be no one on the road, but Lu Ning always feels that the world is isolating her group of people.

"This town is getting more and more strange...Xin Mi, did you notice anything before?" She asked the side.

"See what? We've been stuck in the house for days."

The car drove forward and left this area quickly. The surrounding houses quickly became shorter, and there were small buildings of two or three floors everywhere, even board houses. This is the problem of the architectural layout of Tongfang Town. .However, Lu Ning noticed that there was a small lantern or a small electric light hanging at the entrance of every house that passed by, like every household.

"Xin Mi, what are those lights hanging outside those houses?" she asked.

Xin Mi glanced at it, and was also a little puzzled: "I've never heard of such a habit in Tongfang Town. In the past, there were night workers in some places, and the family would leave lights for those who came back late, but no family had ever Such."

"Definitely not. I have rented a house in this area before, and many people who live here are quite poor. The electricity bill for letting them turn on the lights all night can make them sit at the door and scold the street all day." Deng Zhiyi suddenly said in the back seat. I spoke.

"Have you lived there?" Lu Ning asked unexpectedly.

"Just two years ago, people in this place were uncivilized, so I moved away." Deng Zhiyi said, "The changes are a bit too big. There were many gamblers here before, and people playing mahjong all night are everywhere, but They also light the lamps inside the house, there is no one hanging at the door.”

"Wait, play mahjong all night?" Lu Ning looked around the houses on both sides of the road again, "There is no light on in any house here."

"...strange." Deng Zhiyi was originally lying on his back in the seat, but now he sat up immediately and looked to both sides, "Tongfang Town has never done anything to rectify the gambling phenomenon, and besides, there must be more than 100 gamblers here. It's been gone for two years?"

"Some problems." Xin Mi whispered, "Let's pass through here as soon as possible."

Backfired.

When the vehicle continued to drive for a certain distance and was about to leave this old area, Lu Ning suddenly slowed down the speed of the vehicle.

In the fog, there seemed to be a huge black object blocking the road, and there were houses on both sides, and there was no roadway.

"Something is blocking the front." Lu Ning said.

"We can only go down and have a look... Zhiyi, are you okay?" Xin Mi took out the scalpel again, and the weapons bought from the Red Hell did not disappear.Deng Zhiyi picked up the bone knife with his left hand, and stretched out his hand to push the car door.Everyone got out of the car together. The experience in the Red Prison had cultivated everyone's vigilance, and it was still the same even after returning to the human world.

The closer it was, the clearer the black object blocking the way, and the clearer it became, Lu Ning had a faint premonition in her heart.

And Yan Zidan yelled out in a low voice: "Why is it here—"

Ten huge, well-made black coffins blocked the way.I don't know when these coffins were moved here. Everyone tried it, but they couldn't move it at all.And Duan Ye also shook his head, saying that he doesn't know how to move heavy objects in the air, so don't count on him.

There are no traffic lanes on both sides, and there are only gaps between the various houses for the next car to drive. In other words, even if you go to those places, if someone parks a bunch of bicycles or even a motorcycle there, it may be blocked. driving.

"It seems that we can only take a detour..." Xin Mi said in a low voice.

"No, that's not the problem. Why are there...these coffins here?" Yan Zidan took a step back, "We never heard of Bai Li in Tongfang Town before? Now..."

"It seems that you have encountered such a ghost thing before?" Deng Zhiyi frowned, "Although I don't know what it is, it must be something unlucky, right?"

"Let's put it this way. Some very reliable friends we knew died in related incidents." Lu Ning said.

"Well... if you don't mind, I know a guy who lives nearby, walk for 3 minutes, maybe we can ask him what's going on here."

Do you want to do this?Before that, Lu Ning already knew that the Baili ceremony was a ceremony that could cover the entire city. If the Baili ceremony was allowed to be held here, the incident in Zaoyuanzhuang would probably repeat itself.

"We still have to pick up someone." Xin Mi said, "It's best not to delay too much on irrelevant things."

"But the sudden appearance of ten coffins on the road in the middle of the night is very disturbing." Deng Zhiyi raised his eyebrows, "Xin Mi, we just escaped from that kind of place, so we should be more vigilant after all, right?"

indeed so.It's fine if there are other questions, but this kind of clues that are obviously related to Bai Li always makes her feel compelled to investigate.

In the end, he agreed to go to a friend's house with Deng Zhiyi to take a look at the situation.

Indeed, it is not far from here, and the degree of dilapidation is beyond imagination.This is not even a house, but a "residence" transformed from the shell of an old China-Pakistan. The dilapidated door is completely unable to stop anyone who wants to break in. In other words, the owner here is quite confident The rags here are not worth being watched.

Deng Zhiyi found a relatively thin grass stick and fiddled with the door twice, opened the door easily, and then walked in.

"Huh!? Who!" A muddy voice sounded in the room.

Deng Zhiyi immediately said, "You old bastard is still alive."

"Huh? Girlfriend?"

"Who is your daughter!"

After some commotion, the lights were turned on.The interior is quite tidy. There is a faint smell of wine in the room. There are boxes of wine bottles in the corner. The narrow space is separated by wooden boards and corrugated boards. The largest place is of course the bedroom area, which is actually a folded table. On the bed, an old man with a torn padded jacket and a beard sat cross-legged on it, looking at everyone in surprise.

"Old man, I'm passing by to see you."

"Come in the middle of the night and disturb my sleep. You can't see me well." The old man said angrily, "And you brought friends? Do you want me to make tea for you?"

"Okay, I don't have time to talk nonsense to you." Deng Zhiyi waved his hand, "The road was blocked when we passed by, do you know who put ten coffins on the road? You really let them go ?”

The old man snorted: "Coffin? I don't know. It was open to traffic yesterday, but all of them are quite strange."

"Who is weird?" Deng Zhiyi asked.

"Jiutong, Baogai, Scar, and the teapot are my old friends, you know."

"I'm not familiar with your gambling friends. When I passed by today, I didn't see a room with lights on. Why is today the National Gambling Quit Day?" Deng Zhiyi said angrily.

"Stop being a fart, those boys were secretly discussing something two days ago, and they didn't tell me, so it's hard for me to handle it, okay? The old guys don't know what to do, anyway, it's just these few days, The atmosphere is weird and tense, and even the addiction to poker is gone, maybe I really want to quit gambling."

The last sentence was obviously a joke, and the old man himself didn't believe it.

"Are there any special actions with obvious commonality?" Lu Ning asked.

Deng Zhiyi also repeated it, probably because he was afraid that the old man would not answer.And the old man yawned: "Does it count if a group of people go to cut clothes? Although they all get the cheapest materials, it's a new thing that these stingy guys will buy new clothes together. I haven't heard of it." Which clothing store has any activities?"

"Cut clothes... what kind?" Deng Zhiyi asked.

"We people don't care about the shape of the clothes. But let me tell you, it's ugly as hell, white and miserable, like a shroud, whether it's for the road or something. In short, it doesn't look like a good product." The old man said angrily Said, but apparently it was more about being upset that I didn't have one of them.

shroud?

According to the legend of Bai Li, ten coffins and one officiant have already undertaken all the elements of the ceremony, and it is also recorded in Lu Ning's notebook that there is no dress requirement.Instead, what was required was a previous ceremony-the night vigil.
