This is the first time I have seen a soul-devouring monster. It turns out that besides ghosts, there may be other things.
After arriving at the hospital with Zhao Yu, I saw several police cars parked downstairs in one of the wards.
Zhao Yu and I went up the stairs of this building to the third floor and found the ward where the accident happened. At the scene, a forensic doctor from the Municipal Bureau was taking pictures and collecting evidence. I saw a man tie a bed sheet like hemp rope and hang it on the window lattice.
This man hung his head in the cover made of bed sheets, he seemed determined to die, and he tried his best to strangle himself to death. Just like that, the rope made of sheets wrapped around his neck, strangled himself to death up.
After Zhao Yu looked at it, he frowned and said, "This person doesn't seem to give up until he strangles himself."
I asked my colleagues who searched and collected evidence, but no one saw any suicide notes or last words left by this person.
"There is no suicide note?" I was a little surprised: "A person who has such a firm awareness of death probably has a thorough plan. When a person is about to die, he should think of leaving some last words for his family."
"Yeah, he's not single, he has a wife and a daughter, so he wouldn't die so carelessly for no reason." Zhao Yu pondered.
I checked the man's injuries, but was surprised to find a faint black strangle mark on his neck.
"Zhao Yu, look at his neck, there are strangle marks on it." I pointed to the man's neck and said to Zhao Yu.
"Where is it?" Zhao Yu looked at it for a long time, and suddenly said: "I understand, this kind of strangle mark is not man-made, but made by ghosts or other things, so you can see it, but I can't."
I smiled bitterly and said, "Could it be that things in the bottom of the sea can come up to kill people?"
Zhao Yu thought for a while and said: "Maybe there is such a possibility. The underwater things have souls, or they are half-spiritual and half-living things. Living people who have been close to it will be remembered by him in the end, and then hunted down. come."
I rubbed my forehead and said, "As you expected, there are no souls staying around this dead man."
Just as he was talking, Ouyang Bo called: "Song Yan, Zhao Yu, you guys go downstairs to the ward immediately."
So Zhao Yu and I came out of the ward, and when we got downstairs, we saw Ouyang Bo and several people waiting for us.
Ouyang Bo saw me and Zhao Yu, and asked me about what I saw at the scene of the crime. So I briefly told him what I saw.
After hearing this, Ouyang Bo nodded and said, "I plan to let you go down to the bottom of the sea with these colleagues to see the ancient city."
I asked: "Ouyang Zhuanjia, I heard that the things under the sea are very powerful, you should at least reveal some information to us. Are you sure?"
Ouyang Bo said: "What I know is only a little bit. The spell on the door of the bluestone brick tomb is used to seal the things inside. I don't know what is inside. It is said that this spell originated from Maoshan Taoism. , but there is no way to determine the specific origin. In short, the ancient city is surrounded by a huge barrier of Taoism, and if you want to break the barrier and enter, you need your God of War."
I suddenly felt superior. It seems that the God of War can not only open the entrance to the Netherworld, but also the Taoist enchantment.
Ouyang Bo said that he was going to explore the water, and I remembered Wu Dan's words. Said that if you want to go into the water, you must call him. So I called Wu Dan and said that Ouyang Bo was going to let us go into the water to have a look. Wu Dan immediately said that he would rush over and let us not act rashly.
Ouyang Zhuanjia suggested that since the satellite signal is better at night, the detection will be carried out at night. This way they can also detect our signal on the ground. Ouyang Zhuan's family plans were completed, and we decided to meet at the coast of Tanggu District at night.
In the evening, Wu Dan also joined us in full armor, and at the same time brought Ruan Lingxi.
I looked at the villain in surprise: "Why are you here?"
Wu Dan said: "The apprentice's daughter-in-law is good at water, and may be able to help at critical moments. The goddess crossbow has a good range underwater."
I was stunned and said: "No, Master, the underwater world is so dangerous."
Ruan Lingxi snorted coldly: "Isn't it dangerous for you to go into the water?"
I sighed: "Then remember, if there is danger underwater, call me for help."
Ruan Lingxi shook his head and sighed: "It's not sure who will help who."
After nine o'clock at night, there is no one else on the beach. In fact, after the shipwreck happened here, almost no one is willing to stay here until late.
The few of us followed Ouyang Bo and others to the beach, and after we were ready, Lin Yufan commanded the boat to take us aboard.
Ruan Lingxi did not follow?, just stay on the shore to prepare for the rescue. Before leaving, Ruan Lingxi grabbed me and said, "Er Huo, come back safely."
I smiled and said, "Sure, don't worry."
After boarding the boat, as the boat got farther and farther away, I saw Ruan Lingxi's figure was gradually covered by the night, and I only saw her waving at us vaguely. After a while, nothing can be seen.
I took a deep breath and saw Wu Dan standing on the boat without speaking. Ouyang Bo also prepared a diving suit for him, but Wu Dan still remembered to bring his Dragon Slaying Sword. Seeing me looking at him, Wu Dan sighed, "Apprentice, it's dangerous to go here. I've always been skeptical, but I'm not sure."
I hurriedly asked: "Master, what do you doubt?"
Wu Dan said: "I seem to have seen the spell on the underwater stone gate before. Someone from the Maoshan School is studying magic, which can also be seen from the spell on Ma Jingcheng. I suspect that this underwater thing has something to do with Master Ziyang .¡±
"It's him again?" I frowned. What does this Maoshan veteran want to do? Was he made to die like this by the head of Maoshan?
Wu Dan said: "Now I just don't know why he is obsessed with these sorcerers. Maybe we can understand by opening the underground ancient city."
I asked: "Master, do you think there is something down there? To be honest, I can't feel any living things alive. But Zhao Yu said that there is indeed something moving in the ancient city."
Wu Dan said: "Then it is probably not a living thing. Think about it, there are many monsters that can move after death in this world."
As soon as he finished speaking, I remembered that Ouyang Bo had said the same thing. At this time, the wind on the sea picked up, and a huge wave rushed in, which suddenly pushed our boat up and shook it a few times. I was distracted, and I almost fell to the ground in a flash. Seeing this, Zhao Yu hurriedly stepped forward to support me: "It's windy, be careful."
I smiled wryly and said, "Stop the storm for a while, it's not easy for us to go into the water."
At this time, colleagues from the Hunting Bureau shouted: "Look, the sky is abnormal!"
After hearing what he said, Zhao Yu and I looked up at the sky, but when we first went out to sea, there were no cloudy clouds in the sky. Although it was not sunny, it was still calm. But now, the sky is covered with dark clouds, wandering and running in the night sky, like a wandering giant snake, hovering above our heads.
Wu Dan was a little surprised: "The sea weather forecast clearly stated that it will be calm tonight. Such a sign means that the underwater things have woken up."
Signs of the sky? I stared at the black cloud of the giant snake above my head, and suddenly remembered that when I solved a snake wine case before, when the spirit of the giant snake dispersed, something like this giant snake appeared in the sky. Is there a giant snake in the sea? I wipe the siren really exist? Impossible, it's too ruinous.
Wu Dan suddenly looked terrified, and whispered to me: "Be careful, some of the people who are traveling with you have problems!"
When Wu Dan said this, Monk Zhang Er was puzzled for a while. I turned around and looked at these people subconsciously. There were a total of ten people traveling together, all elites selected by Ouyang Bo from various spirit hunting bureaus. Although I am not familiar with them, I remember their names.
Logically speaking, these people should not be traitors. There have been traitors in the Soul Hunting Bureau, so all major branches have conducted strict investigations and screenings on members. Is there another traitor in disorder?
At this time, the hull shook even more violently. I winked at Zhao Yu, and the two of us tried our best to stabilize our minds and secretly observed the ten people walking together.
Everyone has good water skills and can adapt to the shaking and turbulence of the hull. However, although the ten people panicked, they each held onto the railing with one hand, and held their own weapons with the other.
Everyone is not in a state of confusion. Wu Dan approached me and Zhao Yu, and said in a low voice: "If there are any giant snakes underwater, then the thing that makes the snake excited or uneasy is probably snake venom or snake powder. It's a pity that I didn't bring the fox out this time. Xiao Zhao, take a closer look at the contents of their luggage, and see if there are any suspicious bottles or anything like that. The humidity in the sea is too heavy, and I can't smell anything. It can trigger the reaction of the thing in the deep sea, and I'm sure it's from this person. There is a lot of snake powder or snake venom, so it should be obvious when you carry it on your body.¡± (Remember this website website: www.hlnovel.com
