People in ghost movies, killing people

Looking around, pedestrians and carriages of all kinds shuttled in an endless stream on the wide and clean road.

Rows of reinforced concrete buildings of different heights.

In addition to men wearing classical dresses, women wore classical corsets.

It was already very modern.

Xu Zhijian couldn't help but sigh inwardly, at this time, the other side of the ocean was still invaded and occupied by wild boars, and was experiencing the darkest moment.

Alas!

Maybe because he was talking too seriously, Cran suddenly missed a step when he went down the stairs and rolled down.

It was too late for Xu Zhijian to come back to his senses and catch him.

After rolling to the ground, he covered his left leg and screamed in pain.

"Hey, are you okay?!"

Xu Zhijian hurried down to check and found that there was a big bump on his left ankle.

This is obviously a fracture.

Cran broke out in a cold sweat in pain.

He immediately picked him up and quickly went to the nearest hospital.

An hour later.

Cran fell asleep on the hospital bed, with a splint and bandage on his left foot.

After diagnosis, in addition to the ankle, the little toe of his right foot was also broken.

In the past few months, he could only lie down and rest, and could not move at all.

Xu Zhijian was speechless about this. Who could have thought that such an accident would happen?

However, the plan to go to Sleepy Hollow was not interrupted.

Even if it was not for the mission, the police station did not hesitate to let him replace Cran to check the situation.

This is also good.

It saves the distraction of protecting him, but it is an unexpected surprise.

After leaving the hospital, he took a carriage with only the letter of introduction from the police.

Not long after, he left New York City and entered the suburbs.

In this era, except for towns, undeveloped places are still natural scenes.

A flat dirt road, with endless forests and lakes on both sides.

He sat in the carriage and looked at the scenery, and took out his mobile phone from time to time to take pictures as a souvenir.

Then he closed his eyes and rested, thinking seriously about the battle plan.

If I remember correctly, the mastermind behind all this seems to be someone's adoptive mother, right?

In addition to her, there is also the evil spirit of the Headless Horseman.

And it was summoned by her.

So as long as we find that woman and kill her, we should be able to complete it smoothly?

But something is wrong.

Xu Zhijian realized that the success rate of the mission was only 5%, which was obviously a bit outrageous.

According to the performance in the movie, the Headless Horseman is strong, but not so powerful.

How could only so few people pass the level.

So what happened? ?

He couldn't guess the specific truth now, but he knew that he had to be more vigilant.

In this way, I don't know how long it took, and finally arrived at Sleepy Hollow in the deep mountains and forests in the evening!

There were two deer head statues at the entrance of the village, one on each side.

On the open space on the left was a cemetery with many stone tablets.

On the right was a livestock pen with many sheep and pigs.

Some wooden houses were located on both sides of the road, forming a sharp contrast with the high-rise buildings in New York.

It was like entering the Middle Ages.

And because the sky was overcast, white mist was still rising from the surrounding mountains and forests.

The overall atmosphere was cold and dark with a Gothic atmosphere.

It felt like a monster with a blood bar on its head would suddenly appear at any time and start chasing.

Xu Zhijian walked leisurely on the path.

There was no one outside at this time, but he could clearly feel that some villagers were secretly looking at him through the window.

Turning his head, he saw that the other party had hurriedly closed the curtains.

After walking for a while, there was no wooden house in the open space in front, only a huge castle not far away.

In late autumn, the trees on both sides had lost their leaves and looked hideous and twisted.

There were also some scarecrows with pumpkin heads, quietly standing in the farmland "watching" outsiders breaking in.

This was the mansion of the local lord, and it was also the place where all the upper-class dignitaries gathered.

When he walked to the door, a guard immediately said: "This is not the place you should come to, go!"

Xu Zhijian was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and took out his police badge and letter of introduction and shook them.

The guard took a look and then politely opened the door and invited him in.

He walked into the castle again under the guidance of the servant.

He saw a joyful party in the wide hall on the first floor.

There were at least forty or fifty people and more than a dozen tables of delicious food.

Some gathered together to chat, some were drinking, and some were playing hide-and-seek by the fireplace.

Seeing him coming, some people couldn't help but look at him curiously.

Because only the dignitaries from Sleepy Hollow and nearby towns can come here, and everyone is familiar with his face.

He has never seen such a person before.

He asked the person next to him calmly: "Hello, ma'am, who is the mayor?"

The woman pointed to the middle of the hall: "The mayor... seems to be there."

"Thank you."

He pretended to be a gentleman and walked to the crowd who were playing hide-and-seek in a circle in front of the fireplace.

There was a woman in a white dress with a cloth covering her eyes, spinning around and brewing someone to catch.

He turned sideways and prepared to pass by the edge.

"I got you!"

At this time, the woman also took action and grabbed his arm.

She said happily: "Let me guess who we caught... Is it Theodore?"

Xu Zhijian smiled and said nothing.

The woman took off the strip of cloth.

She was about 18 or 19 years old, with light golden wavy long hair.

Her facial features are very beautiful, and she is young and elegant. She is considered to be a beauty.

Can score seven points.

If the color of the eyebrows were not very light, they would appear golden and white, which would drag down some of the appearance.

You can take it to the next level.

Just from analyzing the face, even those who have never seen the movie can guess that this is definitely the heroine.

Xu Zhijian naturally understood immediately.

That's right.

She is the same as the heroine in my memory, but what her name is... I can't remember.

I just remember that in the movie Ricklan also met her when he came over. It seemed like this was a linear "mission".

Seeing that she had caught a stranger, the girl couldn't help but be stunned.

He smiled and said: "Hello, can you tell me who the mayor Battis Van Tassel is?"

The woman came back to her senses and smiled: "Then you have found the right person. I am his daughter Catalina."

He pretended to be surprised and said: "That's great. Nice to meet you, beautiful..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by a pat on the shoulder by a man next to him.

After taking a quick look, I saw that this man was probably in his thirties, with a sloppy head, sparse beard, and jealousy and hostility in his eyes.

This face is quite familiar.

Right.

Isn't he the male protagonist Rui Ge in "Starship Troopers"? !

Speaking of which, Xu Zhijian really likes this science fiction masterpiece and has a pretty good impression of the male protagonist.

But when I watched Sleepy Hollow back then, I didn't realize it was the same person.

He couldn't help but smile: "Hello, Brother Rui."

The man was stunned for a moment and asked: "Who is Brother Rui??"

Just as he said this, two middle-aged men, a man and a woman, slowly walked down the stairs.

About forty-five years old, very well dressed.

The people next to him took the initiative to get out of the way when they saw this, obviously their status was very unusual.

Xu Zhijian looked at the woman carefully, wondering if this was the foster mother behind the scenes?

I really can’t remember.

The man with Mediterranean hair said: "I am the mayor, what do you want from me, young man?"

He took out a letter of introduction and handed it over: "Hello sir, I am a police officer sent by the New York Police Department."

"Responsible for investigating those headless murders."

The man took it, looked at it twice, and smiled: "That's it, welcome to your arrival, police officer."

"Then you can stay on the second floor temporarily and tidy up first. We'll see you in the conference room later."

Xu Zhijian said thank you and followed the maid to the room.

He was placed in a small guest room, which was probably used to entertain guests.

Commonly used daily necessities are all available.

Ten minutes later.

He strolled to the special office again, knocked on the door and entered.

Read the original article in Liu#9@书/吧!

There were seven people inside at this time.

Five men and two women.

Except for the mayor and her wife, the others were all over forty years old.

Wearing wigs, wearing dresses, fat or thin.

One of them had a completely white right eye, probably suffering from a disease similar to cataracts.

The mayor winked and let the two women go out first.

Then he started to introduce: "This young man is a police officer sent from New York to help us investigate the murder case."

"This is Doctor Thomas."

"This is Pastor West."

"This is Sheriff Phillips."

"This is James, the notary."

"And I, in addition to being the mayor, am also Sleepy Hollow's legal advisor and banker."

We know each other just by meeting each other.

They didn't have any ink left, so they got straight to the point and started discussing business.

Xu Zhijian learned from the files that the three people killed recently were two men and a widow.

They all had their heads chopped off and died.

Pastor West added: "Not only is the head missing, but the head is completely missing."

Notary James echoed: "Yes, led to hell by the Headless Horseman."

He knew it and asked, "Oh? Are you so sure that it did the evil?"

No one said a word, their expressions said it all.

The mayor took a sip of wine and said, "You are an outsider, so it is normal for you not to understand the legend of Sleepy Hollow."

"The Headless Horseman is a taboo passed down from generation to generation here..."

Xu Zhijian sat on the chair and listened to the story.

The story begins in 1775.

At that time, the United States officially began its war of independence against Britain.

A battle-hardened Black Forest mercenary group was sent by the German King to participate in the suppression.

Among them, the leader of the mercenary group is the most ruthless.

He fights not only for money, but also to satisfy his natural bloodthirsty habit of killing.

It can be said that wherever there is war, his presence will appear.

His mount is a black BMW named Jian Bu Wei Death.

He often rushes into enemy troops alone, Kai Wushuang.

He was called the Headless Horseman because he killed so many people and liked to chop off their heads.

And in order to better deter the enemy, all the teeth were polished into vampire-like fangs.

Make yourself look more like the devil.

But if you often walk along the river, there are shoes that won’t get wet.

In the winter of 1779, the mercenary group was ambushed by the rebels, and everyone except him died tragically.

The headless horseman fled day and night on a black horse, and he did not escape pursuit until the horse died of exhaustion.

He could only escape on foot into the jungle to escape.

Then, I accidentally discovered two little girls collecting firewood.

Both sides were stunned when they met.

He immediately made a shushing gesture, indicating that he must not say anything.

But one of the girls deliberately broke a branch for some unknown reason.

Then he ran away decisively.

The pursuers heard the noise and came over to kill them.

Despite his superior martial arts, he could kill several people in one encounter.

But it was hard for two fists to defeat four hands, and there was also a matchlock gun, so in the end it was still a dog belt.

At the same time, a soldier chopped off his head with a knife.

Became a veritable "Headless Horseman".

Since then, the jungle has become haunted, and people can always see a headless evil spirit riding a horse.

Kill everyone you meet.

…

After he finished speaking, the mayor and the others looked at him with terrifying expressions.

And Xu Zhijian calmly took a sip of coffee, thinking that the movie setting should be like this.

Pretty much the same as in my impression.

The little girl who made the noise on purpose is the mastermind behind it!

I also remember that although Crane advocates scientific fairness, he is actually very timid.

After listening to this, the hand holding the coffee cup started to tremble in fear.

Then he asked: "The story is very interesting, but I have two questions."

The mayor subconsciously asked: "What's the problem?"

He chuckled: "1: If he sharpens his teeth, won't he bite his tongue? 2: Aren't those two little girls afraid of the cold?"

Everyone:…………? ? ? !

Depend on.

What kind of brain circuit is this?

People kill people without blinking an eye, but you ask if they can dry their eyes?

Dr. Thomas couldn't help but ask: "Officer, are you mentally okay?"

He regained his composure and said, "Of course not, I just made a joke to lighten the mood."

"Let's get down to business. What are the names of those two little girls and where are they now?"

The mayor replied: "They are a pair of sisters, but the sister has been missing for more than ten years, and no one knows whether she is dead or alive."

"And my sister's name is Marie Van Tassel, who is my current wife."

"As expected!"

Xu Zhijian secretly thought that what he had deduced just now was correct, it was the woman he met for the first time.

very good.

You can meet the mastermind so quickly, and if nothing else happens, you can solve it in minutes.

Thinking about it, he asked again: "When does the Headless Horseman usually appear?"

The Sheriff said: "Who knows, it is a demon and it can come out whenever it wants."

Xu Zhijian said oh, disapprovingly.

Because when it comes out, it seems to depend on when the adoptive mother recites the incantation.

Therefore, before controlling the opponent, you need to let it summon the knight and then kill it.

Of course.

It would be best if you could learn the spell yourself.

The business has almost been discussed.

The mayor smiled and said: "Come on, officer, let's continue the happy party and have a good drink."

"Okay, thank you for your hospitality."

Xu Zhijian did not refuse. Anyway, he had just arrived and had nowhere to go and no way to entertain himself.

Let's establish a good relationship with these old men on the surface first, so as not to get in trouble secretly.

Everyone came to the lobby on the first floor.

The mayor stood on the steps and said: "Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and let me introduce a distinguished guest."

"This gentleman is a detective sent by the New York Police Department to help investigate the murder case. Everyone is welcome."
