monster's bride

There was a monk lying under the eaves of the temple not far away, covering his bleeding arm, looking at him with horror, "He was talking nonsense as soon as he came up, picked up the gun and pointed it at me, if not I escaped quickly enough and was beaten to death a long time ago. Are these the police from Beijing City!"

The other two police officers were busy taking him down the mountain for treatment. Yang Li patted the dust off Shi Yu's body and said, "What did you see?"

When asked for the first time, Shi Yu, who was still in a daze, didn't respond. As a last resort, Yang Li slapped him, "Hey! You almost killed someone just now, wake up!"

Only then did Shi Yu come back to his senses in a daze, looking at the temple illuminated by red lanterns, then looking back at the intersection, where there were two huge stone statues of foxes guarding the gate.

"It's right here."

He said, moving his gaze back to Yang Li's face, "I'm sure."

Yang Li frowned and said, "Then you can't take the risk alone. If you hadn't told me this address and I happened to come take a look, I wouldn't have known what would have happened to you."

Shi Yu: "Did you also see that huge fox?"

Yang Li didn't know exactly what he saw, but it was obviously not a friendly thing. He couldn't explain a few words clearly. He directly grabbed Shi Yu by his collar and pulled him to the edge of a platform, overlooking the village below.

"Look below."

Compared with the quiet village during the day, now the crowds at the foot of the mountain seemed to have mobilized all the villagers. They held torches high and were dispersing in all directions.

"This is."

Yang Li: "It seems they knew you went up the mountain alone, and they all gathered around to find you."

Shi Yu put his palms on his temples and said in a deep voice: "I came here in the evening and there were almost no people in this village. How come there are so many people now?"

Yang Li replied: "Before we arrived, they had gathered a large group of people and were preparing to go up the mountain. When I asked them, they replied that your car had been parked on the side of the road overnight, and we were afraid that something would happen to you on the mountain. I came up the mountain to find you.”

"A group of simple villagers?" Shi Yu asked, and it sounded like that.

"Yes, a simple villager with a hatchet in his hand." Yang Li snorted coldly and said mockingly: "On a small hill like this, with a temple built on it, how can there be such a beast that they need to be on guard against like this? My intuition Tell me, they are all here for you."

Shi Yu said with certainty: "They are inextricably related to the curse."

Yang Li pointed at the temple: "Is this the temple you came up to the mountain for?"

Shi Yu nodded, took a breath, and said a little weakly: "In my impression, I came in the afternoon, and it turned into midnight in the blink of an eye. What time is it now?"

Yang Li walked up the creaking wooden steps and entered the Buddhist hall, and his voice came out: "Ten o'clock in the evening."

The interior of the temple was filled with red candles, and small fox statues were placed around it. On the high platform in the center, the largest fox statue was tied with a festive red scarf, and the platform was filled with tributes.

There is no gloomy and uncomfortable atmosphere. Instead, the light and smell of the burning incense candles and the quiet environment convey a sense of solemnity.

When he encountered a nightmare, he lost several hours in vain. This was weird no matter how you thought about it, so he checked very carefully, not a single inch of it was left untouched.

But a temple is only so big, and all the statues are made of stone. He didn't find that these materials were similar to the stone on Lu Zhizhi's neck.

Yang Li came to the center of the stone statue and found an arc-shaped crack in the middle of the wooden board. He squatted down and shined a flashlight into it.

It was pitch black inside, and there seemed to be some vague weeds and stones underneath the elevated temple.

Nothing seems out of the ordinary.

There was a "bang" sound behind him. Yang Li quickly turned around and saw Shi Yu knocking over a small stone fox statue.

"What are you doing?"

Shi Yu bent down to check the chassis, then suddenly stood up, picked up the stone statue, and threw it to the floor.

The stone fox statue that was supposed to be sturdy was easily picked up by him and fell to the floor. The stone was broken into several pieces, revealing a forest-white finger bone that was well sealed inside.

Judging from their years of experience, Shi Yu recognized it as human bones within a second.

He then responded to Yang Li's words: "I heard the sound of knocking on these small stone statues and felt something was wrong."

Wrapping it in paper towels, he picked up the severed finger. Shi Yu looked at the stone statues surrounding the temple, his soles feeling cold, "Do you think there is a finger in these?"

Yang Li also felt creepy. This village chief was really weird, but it also meant, "We are close to the truth."

Shi Yu slowly turned his attention to the largest stone statue in the center, "What do you think is hidden there?"

Yang Li: "It must be smashed. You also need to take the things back to the police station to explain the seriousness of the matter. It is estimated that many deaths have occurred here."

According to past judgments, murderers often like to mark their victims' bodies, or take away parts of them as deformed collections. Looking around, there are so many small stone statues with fingers hidden in them that we can’t count them.

Shi Yu's whole body was filled with excitement and fear, and he was extremely torn between the two emotions. He swallowed and said, "Let's go down the mountain immediately."

At the foot of the mountain, Yang Li couldn't help but ask him: "Are you ready? I think the road behind will only be more dangerous."

"I'm ready." Shi Yu said firmly: "No more people can die no matter what. I must interrupt this legend and let Lu Zhizhi return to normal."

Yang Li heard him mention this girl again, "What should I say?"

"I think she is bewitched." Shi Yu said: "She can't see clearly what is right and wrong in front of her, and she always resorts to escaping to solve problems. She was not like this when I first got to know her."

He looked at Yang Li and said helplessly: "Although she is weak, she will bravely resist injustice. Although she is weak, she has principles and sticks to the bottom line. But now she seems to want nothing and has abandoned everything."

"I almost don't know her anymore, and I don't dare to tell her everything I discovered. All this must be caused by Bai Ji next to her."

Yang Li patted him on the shoulder, "Foxes are all deceptive."

In the new year, Lu Zhizhi changed her class teaching. Although she was unfamiliar with everyone's faces, fortunately, the teaching atmosphere was comfortable for her.

What made her even more happy was that when the recording on her phone was turned into a USB flash drive and sent to the review leaders, she saw that their expressions were all kinds of colorful.

Similarly, she was also regarded as a white-eyed wolf who did not know what was good or bad.

One of the leaders said of her, "We asked you to come back to school to teach after collective discussion, but you still plot against me? Where is your conscience?"

Lu Zhizhi said: "I don't know myself, but you once stole the students' achievements to pave the way for your son, causing the young boy to become depressed and jump off the building. You also spent 20 yuan to pay for the hush money. You must not have much conscience."

She now admits that she is just a thick inkstone, black from the inside out.

Things were going very smoothly. After all, there was no evidence. Lu Zhizhi was sitting there with his back to the Living King of Hell. Everyone had heard of the horrifying rumors and didn't want to cause trouble.

The matter between her and Teacher Yi is a done deal.

As long as they complete the information as required and meet the standards, they will be awarded professional titles.

If a teacher without any family background in a year wants to be promoted, the probability is only about one in a thousand.

Lu Zhizhi completed a major stage in her life, and Teacher Yi took the initiative to treat her to a meal, "I really didn't expect it to go so smoothly. In the future, you will lead my class in math class, and we will have time to chat more." .”

Lu Zhizhi smiled slightly and said, "Introduce the children in your class to me so that I can have a good idea."

"Actually, I'm quite lucky. There aren't any sons of leader XX in this class. Everyone is studying hard based on their knowledge." Teacher Yi clinked wine glasses with her, and the figure of a thin girl flashed in her mind, and she suddenly said: " But there is a girl, please pay more attention to her."

Lu Zhizhi: "Who is it?"

"Lin Ling, it seems that she lost one of her little fingers in an accident when she was a child. Her body is a bit disabled, and she has low self-esteem and is not able to communicate with others."

Lu Zhizhi nodded, "I understand."

After eating, she and Teacher Yi went to the entrance of the hotel to take a taxi back together. Yang Li, who was buying cigarettes at the convenience store opposite, saw her, pinched off the cigarette butts, and walked over, "Lu Zhizhi, let's talk."

Teacher Yi knows Yang Li. He is now not a criminal police officer, and his vicissitudes of life are very different from his former capable appearance.

She glanced at Lu Zhizhi again, whose smile faded, and said wisely, "Then you guys chat, I'll go back first."

Yang Li zipped up his clothes and told the quiet Lu Zhizhi: "Shi Yu found the curse's lair. If I hadn't arrived in time one night two days ago, he almost died on the mountain."

Lu Zhizhi's eyelashes trembled slightly: "I have already said that I will not interfere with any of his actions."

"He may die at any time now." Yang Li breathed out, "I still don't know if human beings can fight against such evil things. I finished shooting the bullets in the pistol and didn't kill Bai Ji. It has now infected an entire village, which scares me so much.”

Lu Zhizhi narrowed his eyes: "Village? The place Shi Yu found is in the village?"

Yang Li also didn't say anything specific, he just said: "If you can really contain the evil thing that can possess him, can you try to persuade him to let Shi Yu survive?"

Lu Zhizhi stared at the unshaven man in front of him with some surprise, "Don't you always think that we killed your wife and children, and you still asked me to help? Are you relieved?"

Yang Li smiled bitterly, "I actually knew it wasn't true. I knew it when Hu Ping confessed."

When he got rid of despair and investigated the case seriously, he realized that all the clues had been revealed a long time ago. This was just a poor imitation crime.

"But that doesn't change the fact that there is a terrifying existence around you." Yang Li changed the subject and told her, "I hope you protect him."
