Chapter 23 Parking Lot

Eight o'clock in the evening, outside Century Mall.

Police lights were flashing, and a cordon had been set up around the mall. All customers were cleared out, and people nearby just took a look and hurried away.

Usually, this kind of situation means something strange has happened.

A black SUV stopped at the intersection, and Lin Jue and three others got out of the car.

"Captain Wang, what's going on?" Xu Xiaoqi leaned over.

Captain Wang pointed to a trembling and terrified mall security guard standing beside him and said, "Ask him."

As soon as Xu Xiaoqi approached, the security guard screamed, "Don't come over here, don't come over here!"

He looked very frightened and was very afraid of the approach of strangers.

"This..." Xu Xiaoqi looked at Captain Wang, and Captain Wang gave him a look that showed he had no idea what to do.

This security guard was the night guard in the underground parking lot of the shopping mall. He has been in this state since he escaped after the strange incident. Apart from saying that there was something strange in the parking lot, he has not said anything else.

At this moment, Xu Xiaoqi noticed that "Fang Hao" beside him approached the security guard, holding a cigarette in his hand and a simple smile on his face: "Brother, have a cigarette to calm your nerves."

The security guard looked at Lin Jue timidly, but still took the cigarette and put it into his mouth tremblingly.

Lin Jue quickly took out his lighter and lit it for the other party, comforting him: "Brother, now you have come out of the parking lot. The environment you are in now is absolutely safe, absolutely safe."

He pointed at Xu Xiaoqi and the others around him, and continued, "We are all from the Inspection Department. You know the Inspection Department, it's an agency that specializes in handling strange incidents."

"We are here to ensure your safety, but we need you to cooperate with us and tell us everything that happened to you."

His speech was even and his voice was calm, as if filled with soothing magic.

The security guard took a deep drag on his cigarette and then spoke tremblingly, "There's something fishy in the parking lot."

"Old Wang and I are on night shift today. You know, in this weird era, shopping malls close at six o'clock."

"After patrolling the mall, Lao Wang and I returned to the security booth at the entrance of the parking lot to take a break."

"Then a call came into the booth's landline. It was a man, and he said, he said..."

At this point, the security guard's pupils dilated and he began to feel fear again.

"Don't worry, it's safe here. Just keep talking. No ghost can hurt you." Lin Jue continued to comfort the other party.

The security guard puffed on his cigarette. "He said he dropped something in the parking lot and wanted us to help him find it."

"I thought it was a bit strange at the time, but I didn't think much about it, so I went to the underground first floor of the parking lot with Lao Wang."

"But as I was walking, I noticed something was wrong. The lights in the parking lot were much dimmer than usual, and there was a rotten smell, like something had been dead for a long time."

"I used to live in the countryside. When our village was expropriating land, that was the smell when everyone dug out the coffins from the ground to move the graves."

"At that time, I felt even more uncomfortable and was about to ask Lao Wang to leave, but when I turned around..."

The security guard had finished his cigarette, and Lin Jue quickly refilled it for him.

"When I turned around, I found that Lao Wang had disappeared without a trace."

"I was very scared and kept calling Lao Wang's name, but there was no response. My voice was the only echo in the empty parking lot."

"The echo started out as my voice, but gradually it turned into another strange sound, like someone was hiding and imitating my speech."

"I realized it might be a trick, so I ran towards the exit, but the road in the parking lot seemed to have changed, and I couldn't find the exit!"

Ghost hits the wall!
Xu Xiaoqi and the others exchanged a grim glance. The creature hiding in the parking lot must be a psychic attack, affecting people's sense of direction. The ash from the security guard's cigarette dangled for a long time without falling. He exhaled a long puff and continued, "Then I heard someone calling me. He said, 'Here, here~'"

"That was the voice on the phone. I realized it was eerie. He called just to lure us to the parking lot and kill us!"

"I ran in the opposite direction, but all the directions were wrong. The more I ran, the closer I got to the sound."

"I saw that man! His face was shattered, as if he had been cut by a knife, and he was covered in blood!"

"He said come here quickly, come here quickly, I dropped something, help me pick it up."

"I saw his hand break off and fall to the ground."

"I can't escape!"

"Then how did you escape?" Xu Xiaoqi was a little confused.

The security guard collapsed on the ground, clutching his hair in pain. "It was Lao Wang! Lao Wang ran out from the side at that moment and pulled me to the fire escape."

"That weirdo chased us, and Lao Wang asked me to go up first, but he was caught by the weirdo and I was the only one who escaped."

"Old Wang, Old Wang..."

Lin Jue sighed and patted the security guard on the shoulder: "It's good that he can escape. Old Wang is a good man and will be rewarded. He will be fine."

There's something wrong with what this guy said, and his acting when he collapsed afterwards was so fake.

But there was no black energy in the True Eyes and Dharma Pupils, indicating that this person was not a monster disguised as a human.

The problem is the last sentence. The real situation is probably that the weird thing caught up with him, and the security guard pushed Lao Wang towards the weird thing in exchange for his own chance to escape.

In this strange era, human nature is like this, and it is impossible to judge whether it is right or wrong.

"Let's go, let's go in." Xu Xiaoqi pulled open the cordon and walked in first.

Lin Jue and others followed closely behind.

There is only one entrance and exit to the parking lot. A long ramp extends into the darkness underground, and only the guardhouse at the entrance emits a faint light.

That ramp looked like the entrance to hell.
Several people stopped at the entrance. Lin Jue lit a cigarette and his legs shook as if there was an earthquake.

"Coward."

Huang Yong cursed under his breath, but he was also a little scared. He had only been an inspector for a few months and had dealt with a handful of strange incidents, so he couldn't remain calm.

"Brother Hao, you are so good at comforting others, why can't you do it to yourself?" Xu Xiaoqi half-jokingly tried to ease Lin Jue's nervousness.

"Comforting others is just a skill that comes with being a taxi driver. When I was driving a taxi, I often encountered customers who had just broken up with their love or were frustrated."

Lin Jue's hands were shaking so much that the cigarette ashes kept falling. He took a shuddering puff and said, "I'm really scared when I have to face this."

"It's okay, it's always like this the first time." Xu Xiaoqi comforted him, "I almost fainted the first time I did it."

Lin Jue put out his cigarette and smiled reluctantly: "Let's go. When the captain asked me, I said that protecting ordinary people is our duty."

"Although I'm afraid, I still have to go ahead."

As he spoke, he walked to the front of the line and was the first to step into the parking lot.

Everyone stared blankly at his fearless back. How could this guy have such awareness?
Such heroes are rare in this era.
