Chapter 26: The Untraceable Pattern of Murder

From that loud shout, one could see with the naked eye that the fat man's whole body began to transform towards the tree trunk little by little. Even his two arms involuntarily caved into his ribs, and his whole body was stretched like a piece of gummy bear.

In just a few breaths, a lush tree over three meters tall appeared at the entrance of the hotel.

Jiang Shan looked at the scene in front of him with a serious expression. When the man's body just turned into a tree, he activated the ghost domain and covered Mr. Li's whole body.

Even though Jiang Shan's ghost domain was fully activated, he was horrified to find that he could not find any trace of evil spirits on the man.

He wanted to save her, but he couldn't even do anything.

"So, aren't all these trees in the village people?!"

Jiang Shan took a deep breath and looked at the woods surrounding them, his scalp tingling.

At this moment, Zhao Leihu, who was carrying Mr. Guo on his back, also discovered this horrifying scene.
A living person turned into a tree just like that?

Then he carried Mr. Guo on his back.
Zhao Leihu, who was afraid of being implicated, was terrified. At this moment, he didn't care about the sponsor or not. He still had a lot of money to spend. Why should he work for them?

After thinking about it, Zhao Leihu let go of his hand instantly, ran to the car in a hurry, looked at the three people in a daze, and shouted loudly:

"Are you just standing there waiting to die? Why don't you run away with me!"

The three people who reacted rushed towards his car, but when the car turned around, Zhao Leihu was stunned.

Where is the road?

Is there any way back?

At a glance, the entire village was filled with trees, and even the roofs of some houses were broken by the thick tree trunks.

At this time, Chenjia Village seems to have returned to the original forest.

"Mm, they are just some broken trees, how can they stop me?"

Zhao Leihu cursed in his heart, then he stepped on the accelerator, the engine of the off-road vehicle roared, and rushed out in an instant.

The front of an off-road vehicle is sturdier than that of an ordinary vehicle, and the off-road vehicle that Zhao Leihu and his friends drove was privately modified to specifically deal with various emergencies.

Even the front bumper of this car is made of gold alloy.

It is easy for this car to knock down these saplings that are more than three meters tall and two fists thick.

The forest that seemed to be formed by living people was quickly opened up into a path by the impact of the off-road vehicle. At this moment, Zhao Leihu was extremely panicked.

If he were asked to kill the ghost rider, he would not be afraid at all.

But faced with so many strange things, to be honest, when he saw Mr. Li's hideous and painful expression, he was scared.

"Run! If you run away, I will live!"

Watching the off-road vehicle disappear into the woods so easily,

Jiang Shan frowned. When Zhao Leihu and his group rushed into the woods, he activated the ghost domain to prevent Zhao Leihu from suddenly causing any mutation.

But nothing happened. The trees were just like normal trees, broken and bent on the ground, without any trace of ghosts.

Weird, Jiang Shan only felt endless weirdness about these trees.

It doesn’t have the characteristics of a ghost, but it has certain patterns of killing that ghosts have.

Remembering Chen Yue's words, Jiang Shan stood on the floor tiles at the entrance of the hotel without moving an inch.
The hotel lobby was full of tree roots, and behind him was the forest. Apart from the open space in front of the hotel, Jiang Shan had nowhere else to go without running into any trees.

After observing the situation, Jiang Shan noticed that some lights were on in some rooms on the third floor of the hotel, indicating that there were still survivors in the hotel.

But in addition to this,
There were no lights on on the other floors of the hotel, as if they were empty.

Jiang Shan realized something was wrong and asked loudly towards Chen Yue's room:
"Chen Yue, tell me everything you know. When did people start turning into trees? And are there people living on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel?"

now,

Inside a room on the third floor of the hotel

Chen Yue, who was always keeping an eye on Jiang Shan's movements, breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Jiang Shan did not touch those strange human trees. He felt very distressed when he saw his mother lying on the bed in the house.

She also didn't expect that her family would encounter such a terrifying ghost just after moving back to the ancestral home.

Her father was missing and her mother had a gout attack in the hotel and could barely get out of bed.

Chen Yue knew that the only person she could rely on at this moment was Jiang Shan. She had to tell Jiang Shan everything she knew. Perhaps this way their family could still have a chance of survival.

Chen Yue had already made preparations, so when Jiang Shan asked her, she immediately said to the downstairs while standing by the window:
"The day before yesterday! The day before yesterday, Mr. Liu and a group of people went into the mountains to hunt and suddenly lost contact. Then, two strange people came yesterday. They took a group of villagers into the mountains to look for them, but when they came back, they all turned into trees early this morning."

When she said this, Chen Yue remembered the miserable appearance of the group of people in the video. She forced herself to calm down and continued:

"There are people living on the fourth and fifth floors. I heard noises upstairs this morning. Why are you asking this?"

Chen Yue's voice became smaller and smaller. She remembered that when she wanted to go downstairs yesterday, she found that the first and second floors of the hotel were full of strange trees. She didn't dare to drink tap water, so she went upstairs to borrow a few bottles of water from one of Mr. Guo's lovers.

But from what Jiang Shan said, the person upstairs is missing?
Chen Yue's heart sank. The people upstairs clearly hadn't come into contact with the ghost tree, so how could they have died so inexplicably?

And at this moment,
Jiang Shan downstairs was even more confused. Combining all the information, he really couldn't figure out what the evil ghost's killing pattern was?
Jiang Shan called these trees formed by humans ghost trees. Based on Chen Yue and Mr. Li who had just turned into a ghost tree, he knew:
"When you encounter these ghost trees, it conforms to the ghost's killing pattern. Mr. Li is the best example."

But why is Zhao Leihu okay?

Jiang Shan thought of Zhao Leihu who pulled down the ghost tree sapling with his hands. There was nothing abnormal about him.

It had only been a short time since Mr. Li came into contact with the ghost tree when his body began to show signs of turning into a ghost tree.

Also, based on Chen Yue's words, Jiang Shan knew that there were still people living on the fourth and fifth floors of the hotel this morning.

Jiang Shan couldn't believe that in the evening, when gunshots were heard downstairs, people on both floors didn't turn on the lights?
In this village shrouded in ghosts, their abnormal behavior can only prove that they died at some point in time and have not been heard from since.

But these people who died in the hotel did not come into contact with the ghost tree, so how did the ghost's killing pattern be triggered?
Jiang Shan, who was in a state of confusion, looked around. He wanted to see if he could find any clues about the ghost tree through the ghost realm, but after looking around, he found nothing.

Those ghost trees are just like ordinary trees.
The same branches, the same texture, Jiang Shan even observed that the ghost trees that were hit by Zhao Leihu’s car had no abnormalities in the growth rings on their stumps!
The evil ghost's silent killing pattern is killing everyone in the village little by little.

Among them, Jiang Shan himself!
