People in ghost movies, killing people

Xu Zhijian politely performed a ceremony.

Some were surprised, some were expectant, and some were indifferent.

But everyone applauded to save face.

He deliberately glanced at the adoptive mother standing with Catalina, that is, Mary.

The other person had a faint smile on her face, and there was nothing unusual.

Then some people took the initiative to come over to talk and make friends, including the beautiful Catalina just now.

She smiled and said, "Thank you for coming here. We really need your help here now."

Xu Zhijian said, "You're welcome. This is what a police officer should do."

"If you have anything you want to know about Sleepy Hollow, I am willing to serve you at any time."

"Thank you very much. How much do you know about the Headless Horseman?"

"I don't know much. Do you know the horror legend?"

"Well, I have heard of it..."

The two were chatting, and the adoptive mother Mary came over and interrupted the conversation.

With a faint smile on her face, she said, "Officer, your courage is commendable, but this is not the right decision."

"Reckless behavior may cost you your life, so be careful."

Xu Zhijian thanked her, but sneered in his heart.

This old woman seems to care about her on the surface, but in fact it is a silent threat.

Haha, this is more certain that there is a problem.

I have to find a chance to do it to her!

In this way, it was past ten o'clock in the evening, and the party was over.

Every household went to bed, and the whole Sleepy Hollow Village fell into darkness.

It was very quiet.

In this era, gas lamps were invented not long ago and are still expensive electrical appliances.

Ordinary people can't afford it.

There is only the pale moonlight shining dimly, plus the misty white fog.

It looks cold and weird.

Xu Zhijian lay on the bed, looking at the dark ceiling and thinking about the next move.

Now the specific main line is almost sorted out, and everything is the foster mother behind the scenes.

But.

Why is the clearance rate only 5%? ?

Although the headless knight is an evil spirit, he is not so strong as to be exaggerated in the movie.

What happened?

I am looking forward to it, but also a little worried.

After a moment, he came to his senses, opened the window quietly, and then jumped directly outside along the slope of the house.

It's almost time to walk around and see if he can meet the headless knight.

He walked quickly to the west of the village.

That's where the knight was killed and turned into an evil spirit.

Soon he came to the edge of the suburbs.

Looking around, there were only empty farmland and woods.

Surrounded by fog.

Occasionally, a creature flashed in the grass.

The scarecrow standing in the field was illuminated by the moonlight, and it looked like a living person at this moment.

The overall atmosphere was quite scary.

There was no need for a set for shooting a ghost movie, it was ready-made, and you could start shooting directly.

Xu Zhijian took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight to illuminate it, and walked forward on the dirt road vigilantly.

As he walked, he continued to think, remembering that there seemed to be a big tree where the headless knight appeared?

That was the transit station connecting hell and the human world.

But I didn't know where it was exactly, nor how far it was.

Let's go out on horseback to find it when it gets light.

As he walked, he suddenly turned off the flashlight and hid behind the haystack next to him.

Because he just heard a sound in the distance, it seemed to be footsteps.

Very good, I finally encountered a situation.

But who would appear in the suburbs in the middle of the night?

The headless knight?

But there was no sound of horse hooves.

He hid in the dark in anticipation, and soon saw two black shadows coming cautiously from a distance.

Then they stopped and looked around, as if they were looking for something.

Only when he got closer did he see clearly that it was actually two men, not ghosts.

So he appeared behind them silently and put his spear against their necks.

Feeling a burst of coldness, the two men trembled with fear and almost collapsed to the ground.

"Who... who is it?!"

"OMG... please don't kill me..."

They both begged immediately, trembling all over.

Xu Zhijian whispered: "Shut up, who are you and what are you doing here?"

The man on the left nervously replied: "We... we are the night patrol guards of Sleepy Hollow Village."

"I saw a light just now and thought it was my companions coming... please don't kill us."

Xu Zhijian looked sideways.

The two men were wearing obvious guard uniforms and had a flintlock rifle hanging on their bodies.

They were indeed the sheriff's men.

It looked like a false alarm.

So he put away his spear and walked up to the two men: "Don't be afraid, I'm a new New York police officer."

They blinked in panic and looked carefully, and successfully recognized him by the moonlight.

The news that a police officer came to Sleepy Hollow had spread throughout the village.

So everyone knew.

The bearded middle-aged man on the left heaved a sigh of relief: "It's you, thank God... You scared us to death."

He asked directly: "You have been patrolling in the suburbs? You dare to come here, aren't you afraid of encountering the headless knight?"

The man on the right said: "Of course I am afraid, to be honest, we came here to hide."

"I didn't expect to meet you... What do you want to do when you come out in the middle of the night?"

Heh, quite honest.

Xu Zhijian also said truthfully: "In order to find the headless knight, do you two know when it usually comes out?"

The two shook their heads together: "No one knows, it always appears and disappears."

"Do you know the legendary entrance and exit that connects to the human world?"

"Entrance and exit? What is that?"

"It seems to be a big tree. Haven't you heard of it?"

"Never."

"Forget it..."

Xu Zhijian thought he could get some clues, but he didn't know anything.

He left without saying anything, ready to continue wandering around.

The bearded man hurriedly said: "Where are you going, sir?"

"Looking for clues, come with me?"

He replied without looking back.

The two guards looked at each other and didn't know what to do for a while.

I definitely don't want to go.

But if he doesn't go, what if he complains to the sheriff tomorrow that he has left his post without permission?

After thinking about it quickly, he finally decided that his life was more important.

He hurriedly said to the back: "We...we won't go, we have to continue patrolling around."

"Officer, be careful."

After saying that, he ran away quickly, and no one knew where he hid.

Xu Zhijian knew that the two of them would definitely not dare, so he just said it casually.

Walking on the dark and gloomy path, he didn't know where to look for a while.

Not only because it was a long time ago, some details of the movie were not remembered clearly.

On the other hand, there were many details that the movie didn't explain clearly at all, and basically just glossed over.

It's not easy to find.

After walking around for more than an hour without finding anything, he could only quietly return to the mayor's castle.

Entered the room through the window.

He walked to the door as soon as possible and turned on the light of his mobile phone to check the ground.

Before leaving, he deliberately drew a white line on the floor with chalk.

At this time, there were obvious signs of being stepped on!

"Haha."

He sneered secretly, which was exactly the same as the inference.

If I guessed correctly, it was the foster mother Mary who came in quietly, perhaps to see if I was asleep.

Maybe it's something else.

Very good.

Try to deal with her within two days and get rid of the Dullahan at the same time.

After completely erasing the lines, he took out a pen and paper and wrote down the plot again while thinking carefully.

Meanwhile.

Somewhere on the edge of the village.

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

A small wooden bunker.

A middle-aged night watchman huddled in a corner, sleeping with his gun in his arms.

But he was suddenly awakened by the cold wind blowing in from the observation port.

But ordinary wind doesn't have such an effect, it won't be so cold and oppressive.

The man came back to his senses with a start, wondering what happened just now? ?

He hurriedly put up his musket and nervously observed the dark distance.

Whoosh!

Another gust of cold wind blew, and he couldn't help shivering.

Then the torches standing not far away were extinguished all at once.

At the same time, some animals were frightened out of the woods and ran around.

The man was stunned for a moment, and then his scalp went numb, and goose bumps all over his body appeared because of fear.

Because these abnormal phenomena are exactly the same as the legendary headless horseman when he appeared! !

It's coming... is it really coming? !

Some cold sweat broke out on the man's forehead, and he was afraid and a little expectant while holding the gun.

I always heard that this evil spirit was quite scary, strong, and dangerous.

I didn't expect to really see it today.

Well, then come on!

Let me kill it with a musket, and become a hero of the world with both fame and fortune.

Plop.

Plop.

Gusts of cold wind came with his violent heartbeat.

Soon, a vague and ethereal black shadow suddenly appeared in the dark fog.

It came like lightning!

Bang!

The man said in his heart that it finally came out, and decisively pulled the trigger and fired first.

However, the bullet passed through the black shadow and did not stop the other party's actions at all.

He hurriedly loaded the chamber and fired another shot.

But it was useless.

The strange, ethereal black shadow rushed in front of him in the blink of an eye, bringing with it gusts of cold wind sharper than a knife.

The man felt that his breathing was suppressed.

Faced with this situation, he dared not to be a hero anymore and lost all his fighting consciousness.

He began to run away in a rolling and crawling manner.

However, after running for only two steps, his body stopped again, and his eyes widened in surprise.

Puff!

Then, the head fell off without any warning.

Streams of blood spurted out from the wound that was smoother than paper, two or three meters high.

The body fell backwards with a plop, and his legs twitched instinctively.

The head rolled to the side, still with eyes wide open and mouth open, looking extremely scared.

Huh——!

The ethereal black shadow came to his side, took his head out of thin air, and then disappeared at lightning speed.

The night returned to tranquility.

Everything seemed to have never happened.

…

Nine o'clock the next morning. Xu Zhijian followed the groom to select horses for the next few days.

Not long after, a man came whistling from a distance on a horse, stopped not far away and shouted.

"Officer, another murder has occurred, please follow me!"

Xu Zhijian did not hesitate to hear this, and immediately jumped on the horse and followed to the destination.

I thought that I had been looking for a whole night but there was no movement. It turned out that he went to kill someone somewhere else? ?

Soon, we arrived at the destination, the woods.

At this time, the mayor, the sheriff, the doctor and others had already felt it in advance.

He looked at the surrounding environment. This direction seemed to be the south, not the west, right?

One thing can be confirmed, that the headless knight does not only appear in one place.

The mayor took the initiative to say: "You are finally here. The deceased is Jonathan Mas from the village."

Xu Zhijian hummed and walked to the body to take a closer look.

The blood at the broken neck had coagulated, and the trachea, arteries and other tissues could be seen.

Clean and neat, as smooth as a piece of paper.

There was also blood splashed on the ground and tree trunks around.

He looked and asked: "Where is the head? You didn't take it away, did you?"

The mayor replied: "Of course we didn't take it. There was no headless knight to begin with!"

He nodded and continued to check the surrounding ground.

Finally, a clue was found: in the direction where the deceased ran, there was only one person's footprint in the mud.

But there was no murderer's!

Whether it was a human footprint or a horse hoof print.

This situation is not good.

Being able to reach the state of "walking on the snow without leaving any trace" is obviously stronger than the strength in the movie.

He stood up and said, "You are right, it is indeed the evil spirit that kills people. Look, there are no extra footprints on the road."

Everyone looked at it and realized this situation.

Fear was clearly revealed on their faces.

After checking for a while and taking notes on the scene, everyone took the body back to the village for burial.

The villagers all came to the cemetery to attend the funeral.

The sky was gloomy, and dozens of people gathered in a circle, listening silently to the pastor holding the Bible.

"Be vigilant, as Peter Chapter 5, Verse 8 says: Because your enemy is the devil."

"Like a roaring lion, it is looking for prey and can catch you from behind at any time."

"May Jonathan Mars' soul rest in peace..."

Xu Zhijian looked around and saw that the crowd included Katrina, Rico and his adoptive mother Mary.

The latter looked indifferent and didn't care.

Still didn't reveal any flaws.

After the sutras were read, the funeral was over, and people left in groups of three or five.

Only one teenage boy stood in front of the grave, wiping his tears.

This was Mas's son, Little Mas.

In the movie, the young man was brave and resourceful, and he took the initiative to follow the male protagonist to investigate the incident.

He survived to the end.

After a while, he took the initiative to come over and said, "Mr. Officer, I want to serve you and find the murderer to avenge him!"

Xu Zhijian smiled and patted his shoulder: "Good job, I accept your help."

That's what he said, but he certainly won't take the child around.

That's the safest way.

Agreeing verbally now is to avoid being entangled in the future.

Little Mas didn't expect him to be so straightforward, and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

As he was talking, the fat sheriff suddenly turned back.

Xu Zhijian signaled Little Mas to leave first.

Then the other person walked over and whispered, "Officer, Jonathan is not the fourth victim."

"But... the fifth!"

Xu Zhijian was stunned for a moment, and just when he was about to ask why, he immediately thought of the reason.

Oh, right.

If I remember correctly, one of the dead was a widow.

But, she was pregnant!

That's five lives.
