Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 85 Elevator Building

The moment Ran Qing smelled the strong smell of blood, his expression suddenly changed.

The smell of blood...is it a bloody corpse?
The bloody corpse is coming?!

So fast?
Ran Qing looked anxiously at the pale face in the mirror. The pale-faced girl in school uniform in the mirror looked at him coldly.

There was almost no humanity on her face; it was completely the face of a demon.

The man and the ghost looked at each other, and the pale dead hand moved gently again, dragging Ran Qing's hand and sliding it across the rice paper.

A line of crooked words appeared in the candlelight.

【Go to elevator building 7014】

At the same time, two bloody and terrifying ghostly figures appeared behind the girl in the mirror.

They stared at Ran Qing, dragging blood dripping from their bodies and approaching with resentment.

At the same time, in reality, the sound of dripping blood really appeared in the darkness behind Ran Qing.

It seemed that when the bloody corpse appeared in the mirror, two bloody corpses also appeared behind Ran Qing!
The pungent smell of blood was getting closer and closer, and the ghost walker's senses detected an extremely fierce and terrifying resentment. The huge resentful and murderous energy squeezed Ran Qing's body crazily, making it difficult for him to breathe.

Ran Qing's expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed the bone hammer with his left hand.

He tried to break free with his right hand and took out the things he had prepared in the canvas bag.

But the pale white face in the mirror looked at him with a smile and shook his head.

At this moment, Li Hongye's face was still pale and his eyes were still black, but he no longer looked like an evil ghost.

The corners of her mouth were raised, and her smile was inexplicably playful, as if she were alive.

——Go quickly.

The girl in the mirror was smiling, her lips moving, and her mouth shape seemed to be saying something like this.

The next second, the pale hand stretched out from the mirror and pushed suddenly, directly pushing the unprepared Ran Qing back.

Ran Qing, who was almost pushed down, was shocked to see the girl in the mirror turn around and pounce on the two bloody corpses.

A cold wind blew suddenly, and the cold glass mirror exploded.

The last thing Ran Qing saw was a girl in school uniform being dragged into the darkness by two angry corpses...

"Li Hongye!"

Ran Qing stood up subconsciously and shouted anxiously.

He didn't know what would happen if Li Hongye was dragged into the darkness, but nothing good would happen if she stopped the two furious and resentful corpses!
But when Ran Qing stood up, he found that he had returned to the human world and was standing in Li Hongye's stuffy room.

Li Hongye, the bloody corpse, the cold and eerie underworld...all these things were far away from Ran Qing.

The room was pitch black and dark.

After the mirror exploded, the two candles in front of the mirror suddenly went out.

The cold, weird and awkward feeling after entering the underworld completely disappeared from Ran Qing's perception. His school uniform was no longer tight and his body could no longer feel the cold wind blowing.

Outside the closed window, I could faintly hear the quarrel between the couple downstairs.

"...Did you go find that vixen?! You came back late at night and you still smell like perfume!"

What followed was the husband's angry argument.

"You have a bump on your head! Where did this vixen come from?"

The couple's quarrel was a little harsh in the dark night.

Ran Qing stood in the stuffy room in a daze, his mind inexplicably blank.

It was his first time going under the radar, and the feeling of confusion after returning made him uncomfortable.

It's like being immersed in a nightmare for too long, so that when you wake up you can't tell reality from reality.

After standing in the darkness in a daze for a long time, Ran Qing squatted down and turned on the flashlight.

He lowered the flashlight, letting it shine on the ground, and saw a few crooked characters on the rough rice paper. That was the answer to his question to the ghost tonight.

Yes, halfway, go to elevator building 7014...

It was a simple exchange, yet incredibly dangerous. The appearance of the blood corpse, even just in the mirror, made Ran Qing feel a nightmare-like fear.

This kind of weird thing was definitely not something he could handle alone. Just seeing it made him feel breathless...

Ran Qing silently took out the gloomy wooden sign from the canvas bag, looked at the incomprehensible ghost words on the sign, and sighed softly.

Li Hongye helped him avoid danger and did not use this wooden sign.

Otherwise, the worst plan Ran Qing made tonight was to invite the masters of all generations to appear...

Thinking about the scene of asking the ghost just now, Ran Qing lowered his head and began to clean up in the dark.

The summoning of spirits and questioning of ghosts was over. Now that he had gotten the answer, there was no need to delay any longer. He wanted to rush to the next one while there was still time.

He carefully collected the broken glass, candles, and incense ashes, then went to the bathroom and wiped away all the dust and blood stains on the floor with a wet towel.

Finally, Ran Qing carefully counted the scene, put Li Hongye's school uniform back into the closet, made sure that he did not leave any hair or fingerprints, and then quietly took Xiao Mianhua out and went downstairs.

The little cotton ball walking in the shadows became stupid again. It just followed Ran Qing step by step and forgot to speak.

However, Ran Qing was in a complicated mood at the moment and had no time to talk to Xiaomianhua.

He held the rice paper in his hand and did not go home, but walked towards the elevator building that Li Hongye mentioned.

He was excited to hear that Li Hongye was still alive and had not really disappeared.

But those two ferocious bloody corpses did lock her up and tie her together.

Moreover, Li Hongye is only half human, the other half is an evil ghost.

Half human, half ghost, tied up by a bloody corpse, this might explain her unusual behavior of being ferocious and terrifying before but letting him go in the end.

But...why should he go to elevator building 7014?
What's in there?
Ran Qing was confused.

At the end of the century, Yuezhao City was poor and backward, and there were only a handful of buildings over 10 stories high in the entire city.

There are only two or three buildings with elevators.

The only building named after an elevator is...

Forty minutes later, in a dark alley behind People's Square, Ran Qing stood under a tall building.

The flashing pink light of the neon sign made his face look gloomy and uncertain.

In the shadows on the roadside, thinly dressed figures appear and disappear under the neon lights.

Ran Qing was not wearing school uniform. He had taken off his school uniform jacket in advance and stuffed it into his canvas bag. He walked through the alley wearing only a thin short-sleeved shirt.

A woman with heavy makeup, wearing denim hot pants and a tight vest, came up with a smile on her face.

"...Little brother, the people?"

The muddy Qiang dialect voice uttered crude and blunt words. There was no ambiguity, only the most primitive and direct transaction.

Ran Qing subconsciously glanced at her, then immediately looked away.

Shaking his head silently, Ran Qing ignored the woman soliciting customers and walked into the alley.

The elevator building and Yuezhao’s two famous chicken coops.

A park road, an elevator building.

After dark, the alley is filled with people in cool clothes trying to attract customers.

The tide of development had not yet arrived, and people did not know how to go south to work. The people in these alleys were generally young, and although most of them were vulgar, they were cheap.

The official price of 30 yuan per session is a cliché that students often talk about and joke about.

Young, repressed yet energetic teenagers are always full of curiosity, fantasy, and fear towards those colorful birds.

They don't have the courage to experience it, but they are very interested in making jokes and talking nonsense about it.

Ran Qing walked through the dark alley and stood at the elevator door, looking at the neon-lit door in front of him. Before he even entered, he could smell a faint fishy odor.

And a vague, cold and strange chill...
