Pollution throughout the territory

Inside the black Mercedes-Benz, Xia Ren and the anxious Zheng Lang were driving in the night.

"Xu Qiang is dead."

Xia Ren said suddenly.

"ah?"

Zheng Lang almost threw the phone away.

Xia Ren looked at his reaction through the rearview mirror in the car and continued: "He committed suicide. Before he died, he took his parents with him to be buried with him. When I went there in the morning, as soon as I entered their house, I saw everything on the ground. Bloody, Xu Qiang's parents were lying on the ground, one had his throat cut, the other was stabbed to death, while Xu Qiang was hanging in his bedroom, his eyes protruding, his face purple and blue, and his tongue hanging out."

"It's a lie. Why didn't I hear about it?"

Although Zheng Lang couldn't believe it all of a sudden, just hearing the scene described by Xia Ren was so frightening that he couldn't speak clearly.

"Why did I lie to you?"

Xia Ren said: "The reason I don't tell you is because I'm afraid of causing panic. Classmate Zheng Lang, do you know why Xu Qiang committed suicide?"

Most of what he said is true. Children have never experienced life and death and are born with a strong fear of death. In addition, they have watched ghost stories and horror movies since they were young. Therefore, the other party will automatically make up their minds without him saying anything. Horrifying picture.

The reason why Xia Ren told the other party these things was, on the one hand, to see that he was unhappy, and on the other hand, to let him know that this matter was very troublesome, so as to facilitate his subsequent arrangements.

Zheng Lang recalled what they did to Xu Qiang last night, and couldn't help shaking, and said quickly: "I don't know, I don't know anything."

"Yeah."

Xia Ren nodded noncommittally, and then dropped an even more explosive news: "Actually, my identity is not a teacher, but an investigator who specializes in handling weird incidents. Xu Qiang has turned into a ghost after his death, and I need to get rid of him. "

Zheng Lang was stunned.

Are there really ghosts in this world?

Then, he thought of something even more terrifying. If Xu Qiang really turned into a ghost, the first people he would look for would definitely be a few of them!

The repeated conversations that went beyond common sense and fear had completely panicked Zheng Lang. He said anxiously: "Teacher..."

"Don't worry, I won't watch you die in vain."

Xia Ren comforted him, and then took out a palm-sized piece of white paper from his pocket.

"You hold this talisman. It can protect your safety at critical times. If you see patterns on the talisman, you must tell me."

What he just deliberately foreshadowed was all to make the other party pay attention to this old seal and not throw it away casually after getting it.

Seeing the talisman paper, Zheng Lang sobered up a little. After all, he was among the best in studies, and his head was not turning slowly. He thought of those charlatans, and wondered whether this teacher had made up a story to defraud money?

"Take it, it doesn't cost any money anyway, just be more trustworthy, and Xu Qiang may take action tonight."

After hearing this, Zheng Lang quickly took the talisman and held it carefully in his hand.

The distance from school to his home is not far, less than fifteen minutes' drive.

"Don't tell anyone about this, otherwise I won't be able to protect your safety."

After getting out of the car, Xia Ren gave him another instruction.

Zheng Lang was completely convinced at this time, nodding his head repeatedly, feeling full of gratitude to him.

Since he had contacted his family in advance, as soon as he knocked on the door, a middle-aged couple opened the door to greet him warmly, serving tea and expressing concern, which made Xia Ren feel a little embarrassed.

Then he said: "Zheng Lang teamed up with his friends to bully other students in school. Do you know this?"

"Well……"

The smiles on the couple's faces suddenly froze.

Zheng Lang didn't expect him to say it so directly. Didn't he promise to protect me outside just now?

The home visit ended quickly. Xia Ren looked at the red mark on one side of Zheng Lang's face and felt very satisfied.

The car was parked in the community. He declined the kindness of Zheng Lang's parents and went downstairs alone.

It was already half past nine in the evening. There were no stars in the night shrouded by dark clouds. It was pitch black. There were lights on the paths, but each streetlight was far apart. Under the squeeze of the rich darkness, it could only illuminate a small area. .

Only at this time and at this place can the hustle and bustle of the city slowly fade away, and the chirping of insects in the grass on the roadside can be heard.

Xia Ren walked to his car, opened the door, and was stunned.

Sitting in the passenger seat was a slightly fat boy wearing a Liming Middle School uniform.

It's just that the boy's school uniform was stained with blood, which was in sharp contrast to his strangely pale complexion.

"Don't mind your own business."

Xu Qiang said expressionlessly.

Xia Ren was a little surprised. He was now completely different from the cowardly little fat man he saw yesterday afternoon. This was a kind of coldness, as if it was leaking from the bone marrow. His tone of voice didn't sound like a warning, but more like me. The feeling of seeing a bug at your feet and then crushing it to death.

A temperament that is cruel to the point of numbness and completely indifferent to life.

He had only seen this kind of strong contrast in type II infected subjects, but even Fang Bin and taxi driver Shen Hua did not change as completely as the fat man in front of him.

This may be the first type three infectious agent he has seen.

"Are you hallucinating too?"

Xia Ren licked his lips excitedly, and the crowbar appeared silently in his hand.

Xu Qiang's appearance at least verified that his guess in the afternoon was correct.

"Do you want to die?"

Xu Qiang's tone finally contained a hint of anger, as well as confusion.

Why is this person not afraid of himself?

When he was at school in the afternoon, he knew that there were three people who might be investigating the cause of his death, so he casually warned him. However, to his surprise, the two women among them were not tricked at all, and his illusion spells affected them. It didn't have any effect, but it almost exposed his position.

Only this man broke through his illusion with the help of a strange piece of paper. He looked non-threatening and was just an ordinary person.

But he had already given that piece of paper to Zheng Lang, so why wasn't he afraid of himself now?

Xu Qiang frowned and his eyes unconsciously moved to the crowbar in his hand.

When did this stick appear? But it is still impossible to use this to deal with yourself.

Xia Ren ignored his threat and sat directly in the driver's seat, then closed the door and locked it.

Now they were the only two "people" in the car, and no one could get out of the car.

"What happened last night? Why are you like this? Have you seen a brown hanging rope?"

Xia Ren opened his mouth and asked a series of questions.

Xu Qiang smiled.

Does this guy not understand the current situation?

Then, go to hell!

However, before he could take action, he saw that the other party also smiled.

"Since you don't want to take the initiative to say it, then I'm sorry."

It has been a long time since Xia Ren gained achievement points by sealing infected bodies.

The moment he saw his smile, Xu Qiang felt something bad in his heart. Just as he was about to take action quickly, he saw that at some point, the narrow car was filled with a group of squirming limbs covered with suckers.

"This is a tentacle!"

Xu Qiang has lived as a human for more than ten years and as a dead person for one day, but combined with the two experiences, he has never seen such a big tentacle!

What shocked him even more was that the tentacle actually grew from the back of the man in front of him!

The tentacles were like lightning, and Xu Qiang was controlled in the blink of an eye.

It was too late to do anything now. His body was tightly entangled. Although the surface of the tentacles was very smooth, the densely packed white suction cups had huge adsorption force and it was impossible to break free.

"What the hell are you!"

Xu Qiang shouted with a ferocious expression.

Xia Ren opened his eyes and looked at him.

The moment their eyes met, Xu Qiang stopped struggling.

Then, the tentacle rolled up and Xu Qiang's figure disappeared inexplicably.

"what happened?"

Xia Ren frowned and removed Lulim's Eye.

The air around him was distorted, and the chirping of insects rang in his ears again. He found himself standing in front of the car, without even getting in, and the tentacles and crowbar behind his head did not appear.

"Is this an illusion, or... a dream?"

Xia Ren looked suddenly into the distance. There seemed to be something hidden in the thick darkness, but then, the feeling of being spied on disappeared. It was probably that the thing had left.

After standing there for a while, he returned to the car, thought about it, and called Qin Yun to tell her that he would not go back tonight.

…

…

At Liming Middle School, on the roof of a certain teaching building, Xu Qiang was panting.

He didn't need to breathe, but he was still panting frantically, because only in this way could he ease the fear in his heart.

"Monster! Monster!"

Xu Qiang raised his trembling hands and covered his face. When he recalled the scene he had just seen, he couldn't stop trembling all over.
