For many people, seeing is believing is the criterion by which all things are judged.
Lu Ning didn't know exactly what she could see. She is not the "Lu Ning" who should be standing here, and naturally there is no memory of learning supernatural powers in her mind. The apparent peace of this world cannot cover up the unusual nature of the insidious reminders in the letters, just like a haunted villa.
When she looked out the window, what she saw was not the scene of a medium-sized city in the dusk, but the ruins under the sinking blue sky. This kind of "reality" was enough to cause confusion.
"That is!"
Lu Ning's eyes suddenly stung, causing Lu Ning to cover his eyes. When the pain passed and he opened his eyes again, the window outside the window had returned to its original state.
But that scene couldn't be dispelled from my mind. The dark green sky is filled with black holes with broken edges. All buildings have turned into black miniatures of ruins. There are also more than ten spider-like creatures that are about the height of a ten-story building and are slowly moving towards this side. Come over here.
A tremor from the soul made Lu Ning turn around suddenly.
There was nothing in front of the porch.
"Damn..."
Just from this experience, Lu Ning knew that Ghost Villa was just a novice level. At least then she knew exactly what she was facing, and at least she had a way to deal with it.
Now this kind of unknown is more likely to cause fear in people's hearts. The most important thing is that Lu Ning knows that this is not an illusion.
She had been targeted since entering Danma.
Now is not the time to wait for death!
Lu Ning shook off the fear in her heart, picked up her phone and sent a message to Yan Yue, saying that she had also come to Danma to find her. Then she quickly opened the suitcase and took inventory of the contents, and put a jacket with several pockets in it. He took out his shirt, put it on, took his belongings and quickly left the room.
Not long after Lu Ning left, a loud electronic sound suddenly sounded in the already quiet room, as if the signal was poor. Soon, calm returned again.
Night markets are still prosperous, and there are certainly no shortage of street markets with local characteristics in cities that started to develop as a tourist industry. In places like Damma, you can even see many exotic food stalls. The sounds of people shouting hard and the voices of tourists asking about prices come and go, making it very lively.
Lu Ning bought a bunch of roasted potatoes and ate them while walking. From the corner of her eye, she saw many hotel guests taking advantage of the sunset to go shopping, including the three men who were also from the distribution center. Lu Ning was not conspicuous among the crowd, but in Lu Ning's eyes, the three people were as eye-catching as bright lights.
A shadowy female soul floated above the three of them, circling constantly. It was too conspicuous for someone like Lu Ning who could see ghosts.
From the moment they left the house, these three people were the only ones walking around with a ghost on their heads. Since they were walking together, Lu Ning couldn't tell whether the ghost was haunting three of them or one of them, but judging from their expressions and actions, the three of them couldn't see the ghost.
The arrangement of identities is really different.
Lu Ning took out her cell phone and looked at it. There was no new information. Just as she was about to walk away, there was a sudden commotion in the crowd in front.
A skinny man with a ferocious face was thrown out of the crowd. People got out of the way like the plague. The man rolled on the ground several times and screamed in pain. At this time, the few people who threw him out showed signs of relief. Walk out of the crowd.
Four bulky bodyguards protected a girl in the middle who was wearing a casual shirt and ripped jeans and squeezed through the crowd.
"Damn girl! How dare you touch my hand! I was covered by Brother Qing..."
The thin man got up and pointed at the girl and was about to get angry, but the girl snorted and grabbed his finger.
Click.
The clear sound of fractures could be heard even by Lu Ning in the crowd.
The thin man immediately started screaming. The girl shook her hand, took out a wet wipe from her pocket and wiped her hands with a look of disdain: "Even if Qingpi himself comes here, he still has to follow our rules. If you come to the Yin family's place to cause trouble, I won't chop you up." Your paws have already given face to that bald man, and you still dare to take advantage of others? What the hell!"
Not only were the street vendors around the girl not afraid of the girl's cruelty, they also shouted in support. Hearing the shouts from around him, the thin man hurriedly covered his fingers and pushed away the people and ran away. The girl then hugged her fists to the people around her in a quaint manner: "Everyone, I'm sorry if this disturbs me. The celebration is approaching and some people are worried. It’s very lively, but as long as you are on our Yin family’s territory, you can do business and play with confidence, and I guarantee there won’t be any problems!”
"good!"
Suddenly, several cheering people shouted loudly. The tourists from other places had never seen such a battle before and were a little overwhelmed, while the locals applauded one after another.
Soon people dispersed. Lu Ning went to a stall and bought two things to eat. She asked as if chatting: "Boss, who was that person just now..."
"It's our business." The boss pretended quickly. Seeing Lu Ning's curious expression, he couldn't help showing off, "Although our Danma has developed well in recent years, it is still difficult to connect with the outside world. Back then, Now companies have opened in all the land, but the original land is also under their control. Our area belongs to the Yin family."
"Does the mayor not care?" Lu Ning asked.
"Hey, how can he take care of it? There are only so many people in the police station. You have to go through the procedures to find the police. If you go to the Yin family, you might just name 20 people and then go find a place. It's convenient."
"...Thank you, boss."
Is this place so messy?
Although the boss didn't say it clearly, this was clearly a gangster force.
After asking around along the way, Lu Ning quickly learned about the management structure of Danma.
Mayor Xiang Wenhai is an airborne soldier who was transferred to Danma in the past two years. Before he came, the city had been in a state of chaotic management - not that public security was poor, but that the municipal administration was unable to directly Control the Danma area.
After all, the tangled forces left behind by years of autonomy are difficult to uproot. Previous mayors did not have the courage to leave until the end of their terms without causing major trouble. Xiang Wenhai is a capable person. After arriving, he directly greeted the leaders of various forces, drank and chatted. After three months, he settled power struggles of all sizes, and finally reached some agreement, so that he could let go. Several large gray gangs from Danma also took the opportunity to come ashore and began to legitimately take over the management of some areas.
Lu Ning couldn't ask for more details. Anyway, everyone for so many years was under the jurisdiction of forces like the Yin family. Now no one in the Yin family would care about the difference.
Lu Ning certainly felt that there was a lot of articles in it, but as a foreign tourist, it was impossible for him to get close to the central circle of power for a while, so he had to put it aside.
Paranormalists have their own methods of searching for information.
After walking around in circles, Lu Ning found a jade shop. He glanced at the Bagua mirror above the door, then looked at the black air that was constantly pouring out of the store. After thinking for a moment, he walked in the door.
The southern border is a place where the jade trade is prosperous, and jade shops are not uncommon. This one is decorated in an antique style, and the shop assistants inside are all dressed in the style of the last century, such as mandarin jackets and shirts and vests. Two old gentlemen are sitting in the corner. Drinking tea at a table, young boys and girls warmly entertained every customer.
The source of the black air was a wooden counter near the inside. A young man with a sinister look on his face was holding a blue cloth bag and was haggling with the fat man at the counter.
"You're too aggressive in lowering the price... This thing is guaranteed to be genuine..."
The man looked at the fat man pleadingly.
However, since the fat man was sitting at the counter, he naturally had some skills. He picked up the enamel jar at hand and took a sip, and said slowly: "Real product, you think I can't tell the real thing? What is this thing?" I can see everything unearthed at that time! Mouse, it’s not my surname Jiang who tricked you. Except for those big families in Danma, I am the only one who dares to collect this thing. You still want a high price for a hot thing... It’s unethical. ah."
The fat man's voice was not loud, so Lu Ning had to listen carefully to hear what he said. That counter was a place for recycling jade and some antiques. There were usually not many customers, but now Lu Ning was particularly conspicuous as she moved closer there.
The man known as "Mouse" was very alert. When he saw someone approaching, he immediately hugged something in his arms tightly. However, Lu Ning didn't seem to see his expression at all and walked over directly.
"If you stay here for two more days, your life will probably be dead. Why are you still greedy for this money?"
The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly. After inspecting the goods, he realized that the contents of this bag had just been unearthed. Although he did not rule out the possibility that what he just said was overheard, he would not be dissatisfied because of Lu Ning's age after seeing it many times. Don't take her seriously.
"Rat" was about to publish when he was stopped by the fat man.
"The girl is...a foreigner?"
This accent thing is nothing to argue with.
"I came here for a trip and wanted to buy some souvenirs, but I saw an evil spirit outside the door. I was a little curious." Lu Ning glanced at the blue cloth bag and said, "The mirror outside the door is not blocking it?"
"It's enough for that kind of thing to have a preventive function. If something does happen, why don't people solve it?" The fat man forced a smile, turned and knocked on the table, and said to the "mouse", "This thing of yours is unlucky. Now I don’t dare to ask for it anymore, so I’ll find another Gaoming.”
The man suddenly panicked: "No, Lao Jiang, can't you do it if I sell you according to the price? My wife has had nightmares for two nights..."
"I'm afraid your dreams weren't much better."
Lu Ning said casually.
As a result, after hearing this sentence, the man's face turned green.
How could the fat man still not understand when he saw this expression? He quickly waved his hand and said, "Yes, I really can't afford you. Mouse, quickly find a place where no one is and bury it. Maybe there are still some left."
Lu Ning, who had deceived the fear in the man's heart with one sentence, knew it was almost time to take action.
