This is not a weird story

Maybe Huang Zhanpeng has always been like this, so Zou Yun didn't react at all to his flattery.

But Wei An wasn't used to it.

Huang Zhanpeng continued: "So now we have completed the first step of the main task of the ghost story. The cause of death of these people was not fright, but being infected by a unique fear. As expected, he was the chief investigator. As soon as he came in, not only He saved us and solved the first task immediately!"

Wei An had goosebumps on his body and said to Zou Yun: "The second task now is to find the source of death without destroying the mall, and then try to stay away as far as possible. This is a bit ambiguous. If the source of death is the invisible weirdness, we will also Now that you have found it, the next step is to stay away from it.”

Zou Yun understood what Wei An meant and said, "Do you suspect there is something else that caused the death?"

Wei An nodded, "If the source of death is just an invisible weirdness, then Zhang Zuxia is already ahead of us. He has completed two main tasks and is about to complete the third main task, which is to approach it and destroy it. And this may be the reason why he chose to enter this strange story."

After a pause, he added: "If there is another source of death, Zhang Zuxia may be trying to complete the second one now, which is to find and determine the source of death, leaving us with a little more time."

Huang Zhanpeng said: "If there are other sources of death, Wei Ge, think about it quickly. My brain is not very good. I might not be able to think of it in my life."

This sentence inadvertently flattered Wei An again.

Wei An glanced sideways at Zou Yun and saw Zou Yun's expressionless face. It was obvious that she was no longer interested in the way this guy spoke.

"Look for it. Although there are many shops here, it is more troublesome to find them one by one." Wei An said: "It can kill everyone in public places, even in every closed shop. This source of death may be very common, but Easily overlooked.”

Zou Yun also said: "We will check on the third floor for the time being. If we can't find it, we will go to the second and first floors."

Wei An also had this intention, because the invisible monster seemed to be on the second floor at this time, and it was chasing Zhang Zuxia, so Zhang Zuxia might also be looking for it on the second floor.

The three of them first went to the bathroom on the third floor with their backs against each other, and found nothing out of the ordinary. Then they went to the cleaning room to search, and then the public drinking area.

After searching, I didn't see anything unusual. Instead, I saw two elderly corpses of a man and a woman in the cleaning room. The corpses were dressed in cleaning staff uniforms. Like the people outside, they had their mouths open and their eyes bulging, showing a... He looked scared to death.

At this time, Wei An frowned slightly, seeming to have some doubts, but he was not sure yet.

"Now it's up to me to open those closed shop doors and go in to look for them. You guys can guard the door for me," he suggested.

"You and I went into the store to search together, and Huang Zhanpeng was responsible for guarding the door behind us," Zou Yun said.

Wei An said no more, and the three of them quickly arrived at the store closest to the bathroom.

Wei An took out the black crowbar, stretched it into the gap in the glass door, easily hooked the lock inside, and then used a little force.

With a snap, the U-shaped lock broke directly.

Zou Yun glanced at the crowbar in his hand. It was obvious that she was interested in this crowbar, because in reality, it would be impossible to pry the U-shaped lock with a metal crowbar. Broken, this shows that Wei An's crowbar has a unique lock-picking ability.

In fact, the function of the black crowbar is more powerful than she imagined. If the energy mark effect is turned on, more special items can be opened after injecting a certain amount of energy points.

Pushing the door open, Wei An put away the crowbar and walked in.

This store sells children's toys. There were two corpses lying inside. It seemed that they were both store employees and there were no other tourists.

The body of a clerk was huddled behind the counter, while another clerk was lying not far from the door.

Wei An immediately began to sense the black energy after opening the door, but there was nothing.

He immediately went in and walked around, holding the special flashlight Huang Zhanpeng handed him in his hand, and searched inside, but didn't see anything special.

Wei An immediately went to the second house. After breaking the door lock, he stood at the door and sensed it. There was still no black gas, so he went in and looked around.

This time Wei An turned all the corpses over and looked at them in case the source of death was attached to a certain corpse, but he also found nothing.

When she returned to the door of the store, she heard Zou Yun say: "Are you looking for black energy?"

Wei An didn't hide anything and nodded, "When I'm looking for the source of death, I'm also looking for black energy."

"There are many closed spaces here, and the probability of black energy being present is very high." Zou Yun nodded and did not ask further questions.

Because in her opinion, people like Wei Anneng and Zhang Zuxia are on the same level in terms of strength, and they will have more or less mental problems.

Since there are mental problems, black energy is naturally needed to build mental barriers.

Next, Wei An spent some time to pry open all the closed shop doors on the third floor and search inside. He found a wisp of black gas in one of the shops, but did not find any suspicious items similar to the source of death.

Just when they had finished searching the third floor, they heard the sound of glass bursting from the direction of the second floor.

Huang Zhanpeng was stunned and said: "It's probably Zhang Zuxia who is smashing the glass door of the shop. This guy may not be able to hold himself back."

Not everyone has a crowbar that can open door locks. Zhang Zuxia may also want the black energy to stabilize his mental condition, so when he cannot easily open these locked door locks, he has to violently break the door.

Of course, this guy shouldn't be crazy at the moment, so it's impossible for him to do such a reckless behavior, otherwise it would be worth the loss to lure the invisible monster that is chasing him.

"Maybe he didn't smash it." Zou Yun said.

"Then who else is involved in this weird story?" Huang Zhanpeng was surprised, and then he looked cautious and asked, "Is there a corpse downstairs that has been resurrected?"

Wei An turned to look at him and nodded after a moment, "It's possible."

"Ah, it's really possible!" Huang Zhanpeng was stunned. He just made a casual guess.

"Should we go down now?" Zou Yun asked.

Wei An shook his head and then looked at Zou Yun and Huang Zhanpeng, "Have you noticed that something is wrong here?"

Zou Yun and Huang Zhanpeng were confused. They looked at each other and quickly shook their heads.

Wei An said: "When we went to the bathroom to look for it just now, didn't Huang Zhanpeng turn on the faucet?"

"Well, there's no water." Huang Zhanpeng nodded.

"Later, in the women's bathroom, I turned on the faucet again, but there was no water either." Wei An said: "Not only that, there is no public drinking water area. Then when searching in the shops, I noticed the drinking fountains in these shops. It’s all empty, not a drop of water left in the barrel.”

"Water?" Zou Yun was stunned for a moment, then licked her lips.

However, Huang Zhanpeng's throat moved, as if he had swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "Hearing what you said, I suddenly felt very thirsty. I haven't drank water in a long time."

"Don't drink!"

"Don't drink the water!"

Wei An and Zou Yun said almost in unison.

At the same time, a look of sudden realization appeared in their eyes.

"Is this the source of death?" Zou Yun seemed to be asking herself.

At this moment, her throat felt very dry, and she suddenly wanted to drink water to moisten her throat.

Wei An also cleared his throat and nodded slightly, "As long as you drink water, you should be sensed by this invisible weirdness and infect the other party with that terrifying emotion."

"Don't say it, don't say this word." Huang Zhanpeng said, "I'm so thirsty now, I really want to drink a few sips."
