Merchant of the Underworld

"Er Yazi, did you read that correctly?"

"You can't be wrong! He came in this direction. I saw it really clearly."

"I wonder how sneaky these outsiders are. Why are they coming to our village so late at night? It turns out they are digging ancestral graves."

"Grandma's! Just kill him and bury him in a grave without the police knowing."

…

The noisy footsteps were mixed with curses, from far to near.

As soon as I poked my head out, I saw dozens of lights turning through the woods and shining in the distance. It seemed that they had been discovered by the villagers!

Whatever the reason, I have no explanation.

"That kid is in the second uncle's grave!"

A few sharp-eyed guys spotted me immediately and shouted loudly.

"kill him!"

"Copy guy."

Amidst the flickering lights, countless black figures rushed up holding sticks and sickles.

If I throw a few explosion symbols head-on, I can naturally blast a way out, or I can rush out with a killing spree.

But doing this will inevitably hurt innocent people!

Originally, it was a sin for me to dig graves. If I hurt others wantonly, it would be even more damaging to my morality.

However, if I just surrender like this, the outcome will definitely not be good. What should I do?

Seeing these guys getting closer and closer, you can even see the veins jumping on the neck of the nearest person.

Got it! This is a mass grave.

I dare to dig graves in the middle of the night, precisely because I am a trader in ghostly things, by profession.

But you guys dare to come here because there are so many people and it’s your own cemetery. I don’t believe that you all don’t believe in evil and are not afraid of ghosts!

When I thought of this, I quickly took out the cinnabar, applied a long line on my eyes and the corners of my mouth, and then picked up two ice cubes and stuffed them in my mouth.

He threw out a Yin Wind Talisman with a wave of his hand, and then jumped as high as he could into the crowd.

The dark wind howled, making the trees rustle and paper money flying everywhere.

The corners of my eyes and mouth were smeared with cinnabar, like blood, and the long icicles looked like two zombie fangs under the moonlight!

The hands and feet were dancing wildly in the dark night, really like an evil spirit coming out of the world.

"Oh my God!" The man in front of me was charging fiercely. Under the flashlight, he was immediately frightened when he saw my image. He yelled, threw down the stick and ran away.

Everyone behind him was also shocked.

Someone who was a little braver suddenly swung the sickle in his hand and threw it towards me.

I held the invisible needle and made a stroke on the blade.

With a click, the sickle immediately broke into two pieces!

This time, those guys were all fooled! With just one move, you can cut iron into clay. What will happen if you catch it on your neck?

"Run quickly! It's a fake corpse."

"What a big evil spirit!"

…

With a whoosh, these guys hurriedly threw down their weapons and flashlights, and fled much faster than when they came. From time to time, people fell into grave pits, leaving dogs chewing on the mud, or their clothes got caught on tree branches.

But they all couldn't care less and hurriedly launched a life and death escape!

In an instant, except for the debris on the ground, everyone ran away and no one was left.

Did you run away? Then let me run too!

I wiped off the ice cream with a loud noise, turned around and ran in the other direction.

After running for hundreds of meters, I gradually stopped. While I was panting and wiping off the cinnabar all over my face, I couldn't help but feel that it was very funny!

This trip to Shanxi was originally caused by other people's pretense, but now I have acted like this myself.

Their purpose of pretending to be ghosts is to rob tombs, but isn’t it the same for me?

But the difference is that they robbed the tomb for profit, but I wanted to restore the truth and catch the murderer.

I sacrificed the other half of the Soul Chasing Talisman and sensed the direction in which Zhao Laoshi was escaping.

I found that this guy was still running wildly, and at an extremely fast speed, and was about to escape the range of the spiritual talisman's perception.

its not right? I had checked the map on my phone before coming to the East Village.

Although there are many villages and dense farmland in this area, there is only one road running from east to west.

Zhao Laoshi ran across the farmland and ran straight to the north.

After Li Mazi received my call, he informed Boss Guo to organize manpower to intercept him on the highway, and there was no way he could escape. Moreover, he must have run out of strength after running so far. He should have been caught long ago!

But why is there no news until now?

Moreover, why did that guy run faster and faster?

"Mazi, what's going on?" I called over in confusion.

"Um...Master Zhang." The person who answered the phone this time was a gruff voice. Judging from the situation, it should be Boss Guo.

"Why haven't you caught him yet?" I asked a little strangely.

"You didn't see anyone? Are you sure he ran in this direction?"

"Of course!" I said with great certainty: "He has been heading north, and he should have run from the location marked on the map with the grand pig farm."

"Hongda Pig Farm? I asked Xiao Lu to lead people to guard the area. I asked him five minutes ago and said that no one was found."

"Xiao Lu?" I murmured: "That's bad! Your assistant Xiao Lu may be in the same party with him. He should be the one who let him go."

"Ah?" Boss Guo said in surprise: "No way? He has been with me for many years."

"Stop standing there and readjust quickly! According to the distance calculation, the opponent is now rushing straight north along the highway, towards the north of the river! Hold on tight, you will be unable to track it after a while. .”

"Then...Master Zhang, can you call the police?" Boss Guo asked.

Because the profession of a fetish dealer is extremely special, no matter what happens, I will never think of calling the police first.

Especially since I entered Shanxi, I was chased by Death's disciples one after another, and then there were incidents of hauntings at the construction site. It was not convenient to seek help from the police directly, so I actually forgot about this most correct way!

Now Zhao Laoshi is not only involved in tomb robbing, but is even suspected of murder. No matter from any point of view, calling the police is beneficial to us.

And if we ask for help in the name of Boss Guo, the speed and intensity of the police dispatch are naturally much stronger than if we call the police directly!

"Of course." I paused and said, "Just say that this kid is suspected of tomb robbing and may have killed two people. Also, your assistant Xiao Lu is also suspicious. It's best to put him under surveillance immediately. ! I will go over and join you right away, and we will discuss the specific situation when it comes."

If Boss Guo hadn't mentioned that the person guarding Zhao Laoshi's escape route was his assistant Lu Jian, I might not have suspected him for the time being, but this time, it reminded me of several doubts.
