Xu Qing: It's a bit far away, so I can't feel it, but it doesn't seem to be malicious.

"Nothing malicious."

Qingqing's words were uncertain, but Li Gui had no other choice. After hesitating for a while, he walked out from the corner and slowly approached the three little girls.

The three girls heard Li Gui's footsteps. They turned around together with a somewhat panicked expression, as if they never thought that anyone would show up here.

When they saw the ghost-killing knife in Li Gui's hand, they retreated in panic like a group of frightened deer. As a result, the Barbie doll in one of the girls' hands accidentally dropped to the ground.

"Don't be afraid, I don't mean any harm."

Noticing that the three girls were afraid of the ghost-killing sword in their hands, Li Gui temporarily put it away.

The handle of the knife was exposed, and he deliberately placed it in a convenient position. If he encountered danger, he could take it out within a second or two.

The three girls kept backing away, and Li Gui walked over to pick up the Barbie doll and wanted to hand it to them.

But none of the three girls dared to approach him, and their expressions were pale, making him feel a little embarrassed.

"I just wanted to go outside the alley and didn't want to disturb you."

Squatting down, Li Gui put on a friendly and approachable look. The Barbie doll in his hand seemed to move, and the head that turned 180 degrees slowly turned to stare at Li Gui.

If this were an ordinary person, he would have been so frightened that he would have thrown the Barbie doll away, but Li Gui just stiffened the smile on his face and pretended to be calm.

The three little girls seemed to want to leave, but were reluctant to part with Barbie, so they pushed each other and did not dare to approach Li Gui.

"It doesn't seem like an ordinary Barbie doll."

Muttering to himself that he was not occupying the children's toys, Li Gui placed the dolls in his hands in front of the girls and took a few steps back.

It wasn't until the three little girls in white dresses were four or five meters away that one of the older girls, pushed by her two younger sisters, ran over and took the doll in her hands.

Seeing that they finally got their favorite toys, the three girls were obviously relieved. They were gathered together, with three little pink faces that were almost the same, and looked very cute with their panicked expressions.

"Don't be afraid, I'm just lost and want to find something. Can you let me pass?"

The three girls looked harmless, but Li Gui was still on guard and kept a distance from them. After all, the other party must have something to rely on to play freely in this fantasy world full of evil spirits.

The girls were still a little uneasy. At this time, the expressions of the three of them were as if they wanted to go home, but were targeted by the bad guy Li Gui, and now they were racking their brains to escape.

The two sides reached a stalemate, and the three girls blocked the alley for some unknown reason, with fear on their faces, but they did not leave.

"Are you students from Anze Primary School?"

Squatting down and trying to look amiable, Li Gui noticed that the names of the three people were written in black pen on their white skirts. Li Gui recalled his experience at Anze Elementary School and tentatively asked

"Do you know Teacher Wang? She and I are friends and I am also a teacher.

He tells lies without drafting them. Now he can lie with a straight face and a hint of poor acting skills.

The fear on the faces of the three little girls relaxed a little. They seemed to know the Teacher Wang mentioned by Li Gui. After hesitating and pushing each other, the little girl who came out to pick up the Barbie doll was the first to speak.

"Don't go out, it's dangerous outside."

"It's very dangerous. Is there some kind of monster?"

Li Gui glanced at the name written on the girl's skirt. Her name was Guo Hongying. He seemed to have seen this name in Anze Primary School.

"I don't know. I just know that my mother said it's dangerous outside."

"Mother?"

The three girls didn't talk too much with Li Gui. They seemed to have heard someone's words and ran back in a panic, not even picking up the rubber band that fell on the ground.

"Is the mother they talk about Yang Hanrong?"

Standing up, Li Gui looked at the direction the three little girls left, looking confused.

Xu Qing said from the beginning that both doors were dangerous, but the locked door on the other side had more and heavier grievances, so Li Guipao didn't think that Xu Qing was lying to him. He was just treating the three people just now. The little girl's words aroused suspicion.

"Why are the students from Anze Elementary School here? It seems that Yang Hanrong has not hurt them yet, but has protected them and recognized them as his daughters. Is it related to the messy items in the warehouse?"

Li Gui was not sure. This kind of case involved too much and he could not investigate it thoroughly by himself.

The Lu team was in a coma, and the case was at a deadlock. I don't know when the investigation will be complete.

But at least through the little girl's words, Li Gui understood that Yang Hanrong, who created the entire fantasy ghost city, had not completely lost his humanity. Instead, he valued family ties very much and went out of his way to protect the little girl.

Did she once have a child?

Chapter 352 Save me

"Xu Qing, can you feel that the distance between the Red Gate is getting closer?"

Well, a little closer, and my husband.

"Ok?"

Seeing Xu Qing's reply, Li Gui breathed a sigh of relief, which at least meant that he was working in the right direction. Just as he was about to draw out his ghost-killing knife and follow the direction the group of little girls left, Xu Qing seemed to want to say something else.

Xu Qing: I want to hear you call me Qingqing.

"Ahem, okay, sorry, I'm used to being called by my first name, and it's a little hard to change my tone for a while."

Xu Qing: It's okay, just scream for a while and it will be fine.

With a strange expression on his face and unable to relax, Li Gui felt that Xu Qing seemed to be used to this kind of joy in hardship.

Because of her high school experience, this girl would silently hide all negative emotions in her heart, and then act as if nothing had happened. The same was true in her current conversation with Li Gui.

She couldn't help Li Gui and could provide very little information. She must have felt bad, but she didn't want to show it and cause trouble to Li Gui. She could only use her own way to let Li Gui know that he was still with her. .

To a certain extent, Xu Qing and Yang Xueer have similar personalities, but they have different ways of dealing with the bullying around them. Yang Xueer in high school resisted fiercely, while Xu Qing endured it silently.

It seems that Xu Qing will be more obedient and obedient, but once such long-established negative emotions explode, I am afraid that she will be even crazier and hysterical than Xue'er who has a bad personality.

"It seems I have to find time to take Xu Qing to vent."

Not knowing that Xu Qing could hear what he was whispering to himself, Li Gui walked towards the exit of the alley. After passing the last corner, his sight crossed the alley and finally opened up.

"It's really an empty city."

Cautiously taking out his head with the ghost-killing knife, Li Gui couldn't help but a flash of surprise in his eyes. Outside the alley, there was a completely desolate street. On both sides of the road, there were street lights erected, emitting a dim light. lights.

Behind these street lights are closed shops, and there are residential buildings in the distance, but these residential buildings are all dark, just like those closed shops, empty.

On both sides of the road, there were cars parked one after another that seemed to have been scrapped. There seemed to be something inside. There was no one in the entire dead street, except for Li Gui, who was looking around.

"It feels so unsafe to go out."

Suddenly understanding what Xu Qing said, Li Gui hesitated for a while and left the alley behind him.

"Qingqing, which way are you going now?"

Leaving the alley, there is a crosswalk next to the highway. There are dim and neat street lights on the left and right sides of the road.

Some shops use glass booths, and through these glasses, you can see some of the goods for sale inside. Li Gui even saw formalin soaked in animal specimens placed on the booth.

He could also see clearly that the things placed in the car were dead black cats, their stomachs were pressed by the wheels, their eyes were bulging, and blood came out of their mouths.

Xu Qing: It seems to be on the left.

After all, it was not his own fantasy. Xu Qing's every word was a little uncertain, and it took a long time before he gave Li Gui a specific location.

"On the left."

Withdrawing his gaze and nodding to express his understanding, Li Gui took the ghost-killing knife, looked behind him, and walked towards the road on the left.

Coming out of the alley, the roads on both sides actually look almost lonely and depressed.

He couldn't discern any clues, so he could only rely on Xu Qing's guidance and rush towards the red door she mentioned.

Along the way, the scenery he saw was almost exactly the same as reality, but if he looked carefully, he could notice something strange everywhere.

Li Gui didn't see anything conspicuous, and there didn't seem to be any danger for the time being. However, walking alone in such an empty environment, it was difficult to calm down.

He always felt that a monster would suddenly appear around him and drag him into the boundless darkness. Moreover, in this environment, if any danger really happened, it would be difficult for him to avoid and escape.

"I don't know how far we have to go."

As we continue to get deeper into the center of the city, the cars parked on both sides of the road become more and more strange. Some of them are obviously cars that have experienced major disasters and should have been scrapped long ago, but they are still parked on the roadside.

千:?寻?免'''费:小?",说"..,裙;'2,"5!'5'5?9;:5:",.3;:?"0';.0  一些用来绿化的的大树,挂的也不是装饰灯和气球,而是一个个的人性玩偶,看起来非常奇怪。

Husband, I feel it, not far ahead!

Xu Qing's text message was sent unsolicited, and she seemed very happy and excited because she could provide Li Gui with a useful and accurate clue.

"The location not far ahead?"

Hearing this, Li Gui looked at the endless street in front of him and continued to walk forward while carefully looking at any strange buildings around him.

After Xu Qing's prompting, he seemed to have noticed that the environment of the entire street began to change significantly. The buildings on both sides were gradually replaced and turned into residential buildings.

At first it seemed that there was no problem, but when these birdcage-like residential buildings were lined up one after another, and there were no other buildings on both sides of the road, it seemed very strange.

"Could it be that the red door Qingqing mentioned is in a certain building?"

Unconsciously speeding up his pace, Li Gui felt that as he got closer and closer to the red door, something was starting to look wrong around him. The most obvious thing was that the sound of wind that had been lingering around him disappeared, and his nose twitched. The smell of blood that was present from the beginning was getting worse.

It seems that the source of this smell is not far ahead.

Xu Qing: Husband, it’s right in front. You have to be careful. I feel a little strange.

On the phone, Xu Qing's message also reminded Li Gui that she wanted to come out to protect her husband, but she couldn't force her way into Yang Hanrong's fantasy world.

"Well, don't worry."

If I hadn't died, Yang Hanrong would have been supervising me at all times and would never have let me leave so easily. "

Gritting his teeth, Li Gui's heartbeat speeded up unconsciously. When he was about to pass an intersection, his eyes narrowed and he suddenly stopped.

I saw an old man with pale hair slowly crawling out of the corner of the intersection. He was wearing tattered clothes, and his legs seemed to have been chopped off by something.

There was blood seeping inside the dragged trouser legs.

"Save me, save me..."

The old man made a pitiful and pleading sound, but Li Gui stepped back with a wary expression.

"You, you...monster, you are also a monster. Everything in this city is a monster."

Seeing that Li Gui was also holding a big knife in his hand, the old man wanted to retreat with a frightened expression. Before Li Gui could figure out what was going on, a dazzling light suddenly shone on the old man and him.

Chapter 353 The truth of the illusion

Boom~! !

The roaring sound of the engine instantly pierced the darkness. Li Gui backed away almost instinctively. He saw a scrapped car on the roadside suddenly starting up and crashing into the old man.

boom! !

"Uh..."

In front of Li Gui's eyes, the car rushed straight into the old man. Half of the old man's body was pressed against the wall by the wheels. His body also turned over, with blood on his face with overlapping wrinkles and blood coming out of his mouth. He looked at Li Gui as if he wanted to say something.

But before he could say anything, he crooked his neck and died completely.

"Is there anyone in the car?"

I don't know if it was because of his vigilance that the car didn't hit him. Li Gui took the ghost-killing knife and mobile phone, looked at the black car, and approached cautiously.

There was no one on the driver's seat, but there was a doll that had been broken long ago. At this time, she tilted her head and looked at Li Gui and laughed, motionless.

The whole car seems to be controlled by some mysterious force, or the doll is driving the car.

"I have seen similar dolls in the hands of those three little girls, but they were tortured very miserably. There are probably souls with great resentment imprisoned inside. I am afraid that this car was driving towards me at the beginning. of."

Li Gui didn't know whether his deduction was correct, but he could guarantee that there were many evil spirits who wanted to kill him in the entire illusion, so it was better to be careful.

After bypassing the car and taking a look at the old man's body, Li Gui took the ghost-killing knife and walked deeper under Xu Qing's guidance.

This time he paid extra attention to cars or any threatening objects on both sides of the road.

"The old man was saying just now that this city is full of monsters, which means there should be other ferocious ghosts, and the old man's legs were cut off by that ghost."

Thinking of this, combined with the way the old man asked for help at the beginning, Li Gui suddenly understood why Yang Hanrong built this ghost city.

After killing all the people she resented, she dragged them into this illusion, making them forget their memories of death and think that they were still alive. Then she kept escaping in this illusion, and then was constantly killed by the evil ghosts in it, and tortured repeatedly. , to achieve the purpose of venting one's anger.

"Then why didn't you take action against me?"

There was a trace of doubt and confusion in his eyes. In fact, Li Gui was a little confused at the beginning. If Yang Hanrong really wanted to torture himself, he could kill him first, and then erase his memory and imprison his soul. Throughout the illusion, there was constant torture.
