It was about eighty meters from the starting point to the northwest corner. When Jiang Jinjiu was still thirty steps away, Qinxuan was still halfway there.
The unit in the northwest corner only has three parking spaces and no car is parked, making it very empty.
Six lamps were installed there, which made the ground seem to glow. But looking from a distance, it is a little darker than the place where there are six parking spaces in one unit and only two lights installed.
The reason is that the columns used to support the building structure block most of the light. Only when you get closer can you see the light that is enough to blind your eyes.
Especially when standing on the edge, you will feel that the light merges into a layer of milky white halo, covering this small area with a translucent feather coat, which is hazy and unreal, like a space that only appears in a dream... Perhaps it was an illusion caused by nervousness. The moment he walked in, he felt that the light became a little dimmer as if the voltage was insufficient, casting a faint shadow in the corner. And he also smelled a faint sour nose smell, like the smell of expired yogurt after heating.
When his eyes adjusted to the brightness, he found a manhole cover in the corner. The smell must have come from there.
But what is very strange is that there is a four-meter-long drainage channel one meter away. According to the design, with this drainage channel, there is no need for an underground well.
Their function is also drainage, and they share a sewer, and water channels are better than underground wells. Wouldn't this increase the cost?
Jiang Jinjiu didn't know anything about architecture, so he couldn't see anything unusual.
He lit the soul-calling incense according to Qin Xuan's instructions. He held the incense in a fist with his left hand and held it flat in front of his chest. He supported his left hand with his right hand. He stood in the center of the last parking space, eliminating distracting thoughts and concentrating on watching the movement of the smoke. If the accumulated smoke moves in a certain direction, call the code word "see the wind" immediately. After shouting, he couldn't make any sound or move. He closed his eyes and waited for Qinxuan to arrive.
He did as he was told and found that the air in the corner was flowing very gently, and the green smoke rose straight to the ceiling. But the smoke did not gather and spread along the roof.
After a while, a quarter of the incense burned away. The green smoke still slowly rose into the sky, but it no longer dissipated like it did at first. It gathered on the roof of the shed and formed a discus-shaped smoke cake about forty centimeters in diameter, which was translucent.
With the bright light, it can be seen that there are more than a dozen cigarette smoke inside like eels swimming randomly, disturbing the cigarette cake and making it unstable. There are hair-like shreds of tobacco at the edge of the cigarette cake that are drawn out and spread out, gradually forming a smoke ring about one meter wide around the cigarette cake, as thin as mist, with no intention of dissipating.
"This is the difference between ordinary people." Jiang Jinjiu thought.
Suddenly his stomach growled, and the shape reminded him of a poached egg.
After not being able to see for long, he turned his stiff neck and took a look at Qin Xuan's condition. I found her standing by the wall in the northeast corner, facing the wall and not knowing what she was doing.
Since the vehicle blocked part of the line of sight, he could only see Qinxuan's body above the elbows, and he had no way of guessing, so he had to focus on himself.
After a while, the tobacco cake nearly doubled in size, and its thickness and concentration increased slightly.
But it showed no sign of moving. Jiang Jinjiu thought this was a good sign that the lover was not here.
So...the ghost is on the other side.
He couldn't help but worry about Qin Xuan. Even though he knew that Qin Xuan was very capable, he still couldn't help but look towards the northeast corner. However, after standing on tiptoe and stretching his neck for a long time, Qin Xuan was gone!
"No way! Did something happen!?" Jiang Jinjiu looked around, but his sight was limited.
Thinking of Qin Xuan's instructions, he didn't dare to move at first, but then he couldn't hold it anymore, so he thought of a way.
Use the cigarette case to fix the incense in place, and go to a more open place to watch.
But his vision was still narrow. In a hurry, he even risked triggering the car's anti-theft device and climbed onto the spare tire rack of a van to look out. I scanned the parking lot without blinking, but still couldn't find any trace.
"Qinxuan!" Jiang Jinjiu shouted.
The quiet parking lot suddenly became noisy, and his echoes were floating everywhere in the space. She didn't respond until Qin Xuan disappeared with the last sound.
"I'll go! It's not true!" Jiang Jinjiu felt bad.
He shouted again, but Qin Xuan still didn't respond. Even after calling out the secret code, Qin Xuan didn't show up.
"It's broken, it's broken! Something must have happened." Jiang Jinjiu was flustered.
It happened that the smoke cake changed at this time, rotating into an ellipsoid, and then slowly moving eastward, indicating that it sensed the presence of ghosts!
But now Jiang Jinjiu couldn't care about this. Finding Qinxuan was the top priority. He immediately jumped out of the car and ran away...
However, when passing several cars, Jiang Jinjiu caught a glimpse of something from the corner of his eye. There was an obvious foreign object between the two cars.
He carefully backed up and found a woman in red sitting in the gap between the cars!
Her head was lowered, her wavy brown hair covered her face, her skin was fair, she was wearing a red suspender skirt, and she had a curvy figure. But my belly was swollen, and I looked like I was six months pregnant.
She was leaning on the car, her arms hanging weakly on the ground, her chest rising and falling, making her breathing very fast. The legs were dirty, as if they were painted in camouflage. Especially the knees, the skin and flesh have become blurred after being bumped so many times. The blood that flowed out mixed with the dust, leaving several red and black stripes on her slender calves, outlining the tight muscles of her calves, which were constantly trembling. Her feet were bare, and her ten curved toes were all black. There was a large bruise on his right ankle, swollen like a pig's foot.
Jiang Jinjiu was surprised when he saw her, because the red dress made Jiang Jinjiu think that she was a female ghost.
At this time, she noticed Jiang Jinjiu's heavy breathing, and she shrank into a ball in fright. He suddenly raised his head and exclaimed "Who!".
Jiang Jinjiu suddenly saw a pair of frightened eyes, even though they were covered by curtain-like hair.
Jiang Jinjiu hesitated and didn't answer, but she shouted with all her strength, "Help me! Help me! Save my life!"
She stretched out a hand to Jiang Jinjiu, tears leaking from the corners of her eyes, and her eyes revealed pleading. The anticipation and fear made her lips tremble with excitement, and her weak arms barely supported her body, causing her whole body to tremble violently, and she might fall down at any time.
This look is really pitiful, not like a ghost at all. What's more, she is a woman with an eye-catching appearance and a big belly. What man would not be willing to be a hero and help her when seeing such a situation?
Jiang Jinjiu was still a little hesitant at first, but then he thought that the information mentioned in the information was a female ghost in red, not a female ghost in red with a big belly.
So he rushed forward to help her up and asked, "Are you okay?"
"Help...save...save me, there's...someone...someone wants to kill me..." the woman gasped, and after speaking, she lost all her strength and fell into Jiang Jinjiu's arms.
But her hands held Jiang Jinjiu's clothes tightly, so hard that if the material hadn't been tough, they would have been torn.
Jiang Jinjiu was startled when he heard this. There was a loud buzzing in his head, and the sound became increasingly unclear. In the end, it seemed as if he fell into a pothole and was completely buried.
Various scenes of Qin Xuan being attacked involuntarily appeared in my mind, and I said it was impossible and didn't want to believe it.
It wasn't until the woman in red regained some strength and started asking him for help that he came back to his senses and regained his hearing.
But facing the woman's sad face, he didn't know what to do.
He was complaining in his heart about why he was so unlucky. One evil spirit wanted to kill someone, and another evil person would definitely kill him and silence him if he found out. No one would get any good results. If the woman hadn't been holding on to his clothes tightly, she would have been scared away.
The woman calmed down a little now. Seeing Jiang Jinjiu's shocked look, the woman stopped talking and looked at him quietly.
This made his panicked mind quickly calm down and he began to think.
He told himself not to panic, hiding was not an option, running away was the best option.
He said gently to the woman, "Don't be afraid. I will take you out of here. Where are the people who want to kill you?"
"In, in... I don't know, I escaped here from above, save me, take me quickly, take me away from here..."
"Okay, okay, calm down."
The woman became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice became louder and louder. Jiang Jinjiu signaled for silence many times, fearing that her voice would attract the gangsters and expose their hiding location.
Unable to persuade her, he had to cover her mouth and whisper in her ear, "If you do this again, you will attract him. Calm down and keep your voice down. I promise to take you away."
The woman's mood stabilized.
Jiang Jinjiu did not dare to get up rashly. As the woman said, there was a murderer lurking in the parking lot, and he was not confident that he could deal with it.
The current plan is to call the police first and then try to find Qin Xuan. If there is a chivalrous woman with strong martial arts to protect him, his safety will be guaranteed.
But when I took out my phone and saw... there was no signal!
Jiang Jinjiu panicked again. Now in this dangerous parking lot, murderers and evil spirits are lurking in the dark. The only cell phone that can be used to call for help has no signal. It means that I am also a mouse in a cage. Sooner or later, I will be caught and eaten by a cat.
Besides, carrying a pregnant woman who is exhausted and has difficulty moving will definitely be a drag on her.
The thought of abandoning her kept popping up in his mind, but his conscience couldn't bear it. After struggling internally for a long time, he finally decided to be a hero for once.
Since the woman was holding on to his clothes tightly, he had no choice but to hug her. He reluctantly stood up so that he could poke his head out and take a look at the situation outside... There was no one in sight, and no other sounds could be heard except for their breathing.
Jiang Jinjiu guessed that the bad guys might be on the upper floor. At the same time, he found that his car was not far away, so he had the idea of driving away.
As for Qin Xuan... Jiang Jinjiu believed that she could protect herself. Even if something happened, she would not know where she was and would be difficult to rescue. Now the only option is to escape first and leave everything to the police.
After once again confirming that there was no danger, Jiang Jinjiu knelt down and gently pushed the woman away, saying warmly, "What's your name?"
The woman replied angrily, "My...my name is Fanny."
"Okay Fanny, please wait for me here for a while. My car is nearby. I will come to pick you up after I get the car."
But before he could get up, Fanny screamed, "No! Don't leave me!..."
Not knowing where she got the strength, she grabbed Jiang Jinjiu's clothes with both hands and pulled him so hard that he couldn't get up.
Jiang Jinjiu was about to stop her, but in the blink of an eye he saw two lines of tears spurting out from her wide-open eyes in fear, dripping onto his thigh. At this moment, he felt a chill running down his legs throughout his body. He couldn't help but realize how much fear and despair these tears contained, and he secretly made up his mind to do his best to protect her from the evil hand.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I won't leave you." Jiang Jinjiu covered Fanny's mouth and asked, "Can you walk on your feet?"
Fanny nodded, her eyes showing infinite joy.
"I'll help you, let's go."
However, Fanny had just stood up straight, and before Jiang Jinjiu could hold her waist, her body fell to the right and fell on the car.
It was obvious that her right foot could not support her body, but she still said bravely, "I'm fine, I just sat for too long, and my legs are numb."
Jiang Jinjiu didn't say anything and stepped forward to help her up.
Only then did he realize that Fanny's left leg, which was the only one supporting her, was shaking so badly that her foot would twist from time to time. Depending on the situation, if there was no support, she would immediately lie limply on the ground.
She must be too tired. She might have cramped her muscles and turned them into bruises. How could a pregnant woman bear this?
Jiang Jinjiu stopped her from moving again, "I'll carry...hug you, if you don't mind."
Fanny didn't answer, but nodded slightly.
Jiang Jinjiu picked her up, but he didn't expect Fanny to be much lighter than he thought. Normally, rice would feel extremely heavy to him, but Fanny felt it was lighter than a bag of rice.
Jiang Jinjiu hugged her and hid in the crowd of cars. Once he heard any noise, he crouched down and hid in the dark to spy.
Just dodging all the way, heading towards the car dozens of meters away.
