Chapter 992 Skeleton Man

Song Jiang looked in the direction where Gu Hao's finger pointed and saw a few vague figures swaying in the darkness. But with Song Jiang's eyesight, it was already very good that he could see the outline of the suspended wooden building in such a dim night. How could he see clearly an object as small as a human figure?

Seeing Song Jiang squinting his eyes for a long time, Gu Hao smiled and said to him, "Come... I'll take you to the front to have a look." After he finished speaking, he stuck a paper talisman on Song Jiang's shoulder and warned him, "This is a Yang-locking talisman, which can temporarily seal the breath of living people on your body, but remember, no matter what you see later, you must not open your mouth to speak, because as long as you speak, your Yang energy will leak out."

After hearing this, Song Jiang quickly said, "This is not easy... Just make sure you don't make any noise."

Afterwards, Gu Hao brought Song Jiang to the west side of the suspended wooden building. As soon as they got closer, Song Jiang saw several men in black escorting a long team of ghosts. The ghosts were connected by a translucent chain. From a distance, it looked nothing, but when Song Jiang followed Gu Hao to the front, he couldn't help but gasp... Even though Gu Hao reacted quickly and covered Song Jiang's mouth with one hand, otherwise he might have subconsciously opened his mouth and screamed out.

Afterwards, Gu Hao told him that those were ghosts who had just died and had no obsessions. They were still in the state they were in when they died, so they were missing arms and legs and half of their heads. Although he understood the reason, it was still a bit shocking for Song Jiang to see so many of his kind die tragically.

The ghosts who had just died looked dull and lifeless, while the ghost messengers who were escorting them had cold faces, as if the ghosts owed them eight million. This made Song Jiang, who had gained more experience, feel emotional. Life is short, and after working hard all his life, he still couldn't escape the fate of fading away. Gu Hao was an experienced person. He could tell what Song Jiang was thinking at a glance, so he patted him on the shoulder and signaled him with his eyes to be more open-minded.

Time passed unknowingly and it was midnight. When Song Jiang and Gu Hao were about to leave after watching the excitement, they suddenly felt a light above them. Looking up, they saw that the suspended wooden building, which was dead silent just now, was now brightly lit and full of people. The whole building seemed to have come alive in an instant... Song Jiang looked at Gu Hao in disbelief, but he seemed to be used to it. He patted Song Jiang's shoulder calmly, tore off the paper talisman on his body, and motioned him to follow him closely.

Huangquan Inn is like a bright lamp in the darkness, illuminating the way home for all the ghosts. The ghosts that were confused and at a loss just now suddenly became energetic and quickened their pace without being driven away by the ghost messengers. Song Jiang looked back at the ghosts who were hurrying on their way and couldn't help wondering, when there is such a day for me, will I be able to walk as carefree as them?

The business of the Huangquan Inn is really booming. When Song Jiang and Gu Hao just walked to the only wooden plank road leading to the inn, they saw two ghosts waiting there with "two men and one woman". When they saw Song Jiang and Gu Hao, they were all curious. After all, ghosts are common in this place, but living people are really rare.

The two ghost messengers knew that the living people who could find this place were not ordinary people, so they nodded politely to Song Jiang and the others. Song Jiang and the others naturally could not be rude, so they nodded as well, then brushed past them and walked to the door of the inn that was slowly opening...

The two skeletons, one tall and one short, were in charge of opening the door, shouting, "May the dead ascend to heaven, and the living live in peace! Welcome to Huangquan Inn!!" If the two skeletons were not wearing clothes, Song Jiang would have thought they were human skeleton models from the medical school. The tall and short skeletons were also surprised when they saw Song Jiang and Gu Hao. They probably hadn't seen a living person for many years. The short skeleton then rolled and crawled back, shouting, "Madam Boss! Someone is coming! Madam Boss, someone is really coming!!"

Song Jiang found the short skeleton man's funny behavior a bit amusing. It seemed that living people were really rare in this place!
At this time, a woman was heard scolding in a delicate voice, "Be careful! If someone comes, then someone comes. Look how panicked you are. What's wrong with people? Since when did people become scarier than ghosts? Besides, you ignorant thing, I am not a human being! You are surprised by what you have never seen before!!"

Song Jiang looked over and saw a bright red figure slowly walking down from the upstairs. The other person looked at Song Jiang and Gu Hao curiously for a while with a pair of bright black eyes, and then said leisurely, "What a good thing that has brought distinguished guests here... Two handsome guys, didn't you walk into the wrong door?!"

Gu Hao smiled and took out the handwritten note from Kanye and said, "Madam Boss, we have this..."

At this time, the tall skeleton man saw this and happily took the note. Then he said to the proprietress in a very flattering manner, "I can smell it. This should be Lao Kan's handwriting."

The lady boss took the note and glanced at it, then curled her lips and said, "That old man really introduced me here...Okay, come in and find a seat for a while, and wait for me to deal with those dead guys behind you."

Song Jiang then realized that the ghosts he had just met on the wooden plank road had also entered the door. One of the ghosts said to the proprietress with a cold face, "These are the three ghosts today... The female one is Ma Hui, who became a vegetable due to a car accident; the one next to her is Sun Zhiyuan, who fell from a building and is still being rescued; the last one is Wang Ziang, who took an overdose and is brain dead."

The lady boss nodded after hearing this, then glanced at the short skeleton man and said, "Shorty, take them in, and don't forget to register them."

After hearing this, the dwarf sighed and reached out to grab the chain in the hands of the ghost. Unexpectedly, at this time, the woman named Ma Hui suddenly cried and said, "Where is this place? Why did you bring me here? Are you from the Ga Yaozi Group? My family is rich! I can redeem myself! No need to sell my organs!!"

The lady boss sighed and said, "What a pitiful person... Sister, once you come to this place, no matter how much money your family has, it will be useless. I don't know what kind of organization the Ga Yaozi Group you mentioned is. It sounds scary. Don't worry, we don't practice cannibalism here."
