Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 206 Universal Currency
The building is already in critical condition, and looks much more dangerous than the abandoned construction site in Yunlong City, which is a gathering place for evil spirits.

Generally speaking, experts in the industry will tell you what taboos are violated in this place based on knowledge of feng shui, metaphysics, etc., but if they see this building, they will only tell you that if you walk into this building late at night and take a walk around, as long as you can walk out alive, they should call you an expert.

"Old Duan, what's wrong with this building?"

Zheng Liu noticed Duan Mingyuan's abnormality and asked.

He couldn't see anything except that there was no one in the building. The atmosphere was even gloomier than the last time he came. It was early in the morning, but the interior of the building was shrouded in darkness, as if something was blocking the light and keeping all the light outside.

"I'll go in and take a look."

Duan Mingyuan said that based on the information provided by the Siyang City liaison officer, he felt that the building was most likely changed into its current appearance step by step after the 13 people disappeared. Hunters from Siyang City also came here on the day of the incident, but did not find anything unusual at the time.

"I'll go in too."

Zheng Liu took a flashlight from the tool kit in the car. Just standing at the door, he felt a little chilly in his heart. He felt more at ease staying with Duan Mingyuan. He looked around and asked, "Did you see anything?"

"It's better if you don't see it."

The bizarre objects gathered in the company building were different from the evil spirits Duan Mingyuan had seen before. They seemed to have merged with the decoration of the building. It was not an exaggeration to describe them as visual pollution. Any normal person would be driven crazy if they stayed in such a place for a day.

Fortunately, Duan Mingyuan is not a normal person.

Under the guidance of Zheng Liu, he climbed the stairs all the way to the eighth floor. The moment Zheng Liu opened the door and was about to go in, he quickly grabbed his collar and saved him from being buried in the mold.

The faint smell of blood still permeated the room. Even Zheng Liu realized that something was wrong. When he looked into the room again, he suddenly felt his scalp numbing and the intense tingling sensation was like someone was pricking the skin on his face with invisible needles.

Duan Mingyuan roughly counted them and found that there were thirteen mold clusters that were more than one meter tall, with blood and pus flowing down from the tops.

The surrounding walls were shrinking, and he retreated all the way to the end of the corridor. After seeing the trajectory outlined by the wriggling walls, he finally came to a conclusion.

The floor looked like a stomach, and they had walked into the body of some creature.

Duan Mingyuan walked into the office again and came to a desk.

The mouth on the computer screen opened and closed, and the eyes on the computer case stared at him.

"I want to ask you something."

"Who? Me?"

Zheng Liu was stunned for a moment, but when he followed Duan Mingyuan's gaze, he realized that he was talking to the computer.

The company had lost power long ago, so the computers were naturally turned off.

Experts are experts. They can even communicate with computers that are out of power. This is much more magical than those water and salt sprinkling scenes on the Internet.

“Where are the 13 missing people?”

"I ate it and digested it, hehe, hehe."

The mouth on the computer screen suddenly laughed, and licked the corners of its mouth with satisfaction. The eyes on the computer case also curved into crescent shapes.

"What did the computer say?"

Zheng Liu asked hurriedly. The truth was right in front of him, making him a little impatient.

Since the case happened, he has been so busy that he has hardly slept for several days, but the truth remains shrouded in mystery, leaving no clue.

But who would have thought of coming to the crime scene to inquire about a computer that had been powered off?

"They said the 13 people were eaten, so their bodies should be nowhere to be found."

There was no life energy left in the conference room. It seemed that it had been digested by the building.

Then the problem is coming.

Given the level of corruption in this building, if one wants to completely eradicate the evil spirits that inhabit it, the entire building must be demolished.

Demolishing a building was not difficult for Duan Mingyuan, especially after he learned the art of wielding a sword, which allowed his demolition ability to reach a new level. However, in a modern civilized society, it is difficult to claim to be a law-abiding citizen after demolishing a building.

"have eaten!?"

Although Zheng Liu had long anticipated that the missing persons were in grave danger, he did not expect that they would die in this way.

Thirteen living people were eaten just like that?

What kind of death was that? What was the process?
Looking through all the case files in Siyang City, no similar cases can be found.

"Why did you eat them?"

"They owe me 150 years. We agreed to do it together..."

"Year 150?"

"Lifespan, lifespan is the universal currency, you can use it to buy everything!" The voice from the computer was sharp and piercing, and it was sometimes louder and sometimes softer. The evil spirit that was talking to him at the moment seemed to be in an extremely unstable state.

“What did you buy in 150 years?”

"The future! We bought the future together!"

"where did you buy it?"

"You want to know?"

The mouth smiled again, and the eyes on the chassis showed no concealment of malice.

This is an evil spirit that is very easy to understand. It will honestly write its desire to kill you on its face, and will deceive you with lies that will be exposed as soon as they are heard, "Come to me, I will lead the way for you, and when you find me, I will tell you!"

In this regard, Duan Mingyuan could only say that he couldn't refuse such a kind invitation.

The wriggling tentacles in the corridor guided them along the path that extended all the way to the parking lot of the building. At the end of the northwest corner of the parking lot was a dead end. The wall blocked the two's way, but the black tentacles drilled in.

Zheng Liu realized something and asked, "Do you want me to call the construction team?"

"Need not."

Duan Mingyuan shook his head and walked towards the blocked wall. A passage that did not exist originally opened up for him.

"I go!"

Zheng Liu screamed in surprise.

This is not a hunter, this is clearly a great magician!

Only a great magician can open a passage that does not exist.

The road ahead was getting darker and darker, and he hurriedly followed Duan Mingyuan's footsteps. The darkness was really unusual. The flashlight was clearly on, but they still couldn't see the road ahead clearly.

The two of them walked down the spiral staircase for an unknown amount of time, one in front of the other, and finally arrived at a relatively open space.

"This is……!"

Zheng Liu walked to the feet and saw the objects on the ground clearly. They were two skeletons, nailed to the floor in a very tragic way. One can imagine the tremendous pain the two victims went through before they died.

He once heard from his master that Siyang City used to be very chaotic and many buildings were filled with hidden secrets.

When many buildings were demolished and rebuilt, human bodies were dug out from inside.

However, what Duan Mingyuan saw was a completely different scene. In this space, the human body's facial features and internal organs were arranged everywhere in a disorderly manner.

He met one of the eyes and said, "I found you. It's your turn to answer my questions."

"I told you that life is the universal currency. If you want to buy it, buy it from me!"

"Then, how do I buy it?"

"75 years, everyone! That adds up to 150 years!"

The ribs of the human body blocked the way back, and Zheng Liu suddenly felt tense all over. He felt as if the bones on the ground seemed to move.

"Old Duan, what happened?"

"He wants to exchange the truth for 150 years of our lives. I think it's not worth it."

"Of course not!"

Zheng Liu was startled. It was unknown whether he could live for another 75 years. "Just tell us we won't sell it."

"Let me see if I can bargain."

Duan Mingyuan nodded and asked, "150 years of life is too expensive. Can we change the transaction method?"

"140 years, no less."

"It's not about the numbers, I mean changing the way of doing business."

"In what way?"

"If you have any last wishes, please tell me. I will try my best to help you realize them after I get out."

"150 years, not a single year less!"

This sentence seemed to anger the mouth, and it roared in a sharp voice, "If you don't sell it to me, I will take it myself!"
