The workers stood there confused, watching the Tixing vehicles that had just arrived and quickly left the place.
But not everyone who mentioned Xingsi left. The rest of the second group stayed at the scene to deal with follow-up matters. Only Wang Shuo, the leader of the second group, and an investigator responsible for driving left.
The workers asked the investigators in confusion, but the investigators didn't know much more than they did.
Yan Qilin and Ma Ling'er immediately boarded the military vehicle parked near the construction site, and Zhao Xue quickly followed after thinking briefly.
She didn't know what exactly happened, but the zombie aroused Zhao Xue's curiosity. She wanted to see what would happen after the zombies were transported into the Flowing Fire Avenue?
Zhao Xue, who was sitting in the car, kept asking Yan Qilin what happened underground.
Yan Qilin didn't say much, but Ma Ling'er, who was sitting next to him, briefly and comprehensively explained the matter.
This story sounded like a fantasy to Zhao Xue, but it actually happened to several people.
Looking at Yan Qilin driving, Zhao Xue's eyes always looked a bit erratic.
The previous state of Yan Qilin and Mo Qilin was completely different from the current state.
This also made Zhao Xue a little afraid of Yan Qilin.
The military chariot followed Ti Xingsi's chariot in front. Ma Ling'er couldn't help but asked Yan Qilin curiously:
"Qilin, the fat man told the person in charge of the punishment department earlier that the coffin must not see the moonlight. Was he just saying it casually, or is it really such a strict rule?"
Yan Qilin nodded and explained in a calm tone, and Ma Ling'er suddenly realized.
Moonlight belongs to yin, and evil spirits like to absorb moonlight to increase their own cultivation.
Although the zombie was temporarily sealed by the Zombie Suppression Talisman, its own power was not weakened.
If it absorbs the moonlight, it may cause the zombie to escape the control of the corpse suppressing charm.
This is why, although the customs in different regions are different, the time for funerals is always during the day and avoids noon.
This is because the sun is strongest at noon, and the strong yang energy can easily destroy the deceased.
Almost no place would choose to bury at night, because once the moonlight is seen, things will most likely go wrong.
After learning about this, Ma Ling'er and Zhao Xue nodded one after another, with thousands of thoughts in their hearts, and they were restless for a long time.
On the quiet and deserted road, the two cars kept their distance.
The residential buildings on both sides are now darkened, and the bustling Yanjun now looks like a dead city.
When walking through the small road, occasionally there are a few shops with lights on the roadside.
But basically, they are all pale lights with the word "funeral" in black.
Looking out the window, Wang Shuo frowned, thinking about the devastation he saw on the construction site.
He didn't know what was going on, but a lot of things made him feel weird.
The coffin placed in the back seat always made the two of them feel a little unlucky.
But on the other hand, the fat man didn't seem to be affected at all, he just closed his eyes with a tired look on his face.
This is understandable, after all, what happened that night was really difficult for someone of his size.
None of them noticed that the dark clouds in the sky gradually retreated, and a crescent moon slowly revealed its true appearance in the clouds and mist.
The soft moonlight shines on the ground without leaving a trace, but the light from the street lamps on both sides is too bright, making it difficult to detect the moonlight's existence.
The investigator drove in the direction of Liuhuo Avenue. As he turned from the main road into a small road, the change in the vehicle's orientation also allowed the moonlight to shine on the coffin through the car glass.
The coffin was already in tatters, so the moonlight soon shone on the zombie through the gap in the coffin.
"Bang!"
As if feeling the power of the moonlight, the zombie's hands subconsciously lifted up even though they were suppressed by the corpse-suppressing talisman.
Both fists hit the coffin lid, making a violent sound. The sudden sound shocked Wang Shuo and the investigators.
Wang Shuo looked back at the coffin placed in the back seat in surprise, but everything seemed to be normal, and the sound just now seemed like an illusion.
But the fat man next to him seemed to have heard nothing and remained unmoved with his eyes closed.
"Team leader, did you hear what happened just now?
Apart from the three of us, there was only this coffin in the car. Where did that sound come from? "
The investigator lowered his voice nervously and spoke to Wang Shuo, but couldn't this be the doubt in Wang Shuo's heart?
"Bang!"
Another muffled sound came. Wang Shuo, who had been tensing up his nerves, immediately looked back. In an instant, he seemed to see the coffin lid, which shook with the sound.
"Squeak..."
The driver also subconsciously stepped on the brakes. As a harsh braking sound came, the vehicle stopped directly in the middle of the road.
Finally, the fat man opened his eyes as if he had been released from a dream. He seemed not to know what had just happened.
"what happened?"
Wang Shuo looked at the fat man outside the window with a pale face at this moment, and pointed to the coffin behind:
"Then what is inside the coffin, and why is the coffin lid moving?"
"move?"
The fat man glanced behind him in confusion, and finally looked up at the sky.
When he saw the crescent moon in the sky, the fat man immediately shouted:
"broken!"
After saying these words, the fat man hurried to the trunk of the military vehicle, took out a piece of red cloth, and quickly ran back.
Under the puzzled gazes of Wang Shuo and the investigators, the fat man covered the coffin with the red cloth, and then said to them emotionally:
"If I tell you not to let the moonlight touch the coffin, you won't want to live anymore?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Shuo and the investigators became even more confused.
You've been sitting next to me the whole time, so you can't blame us for this, right?
No one noticed that the moment the fat man covered the coffin with the red cloth, the moonlight could no longer shine into the coffin. The faint golden light finally faded away from the corpse-killing charm attached to the zombie's face.
"Hurry up and set off, the night is long and you have many dreams, hurry up and return to Flowing Fire Avenue!"
After saying these words, the fat man waved his hand towards the military vehicle behind him, indicating that the matter was settled.
The investigator looked uneasily through the rearview mirror at the coffin covered with red cloth behind it, and then at the fat man. He always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't put it right at the moment.
The more he recalled the strange noise coming from the coffin, the more uneasy Wang Shuo felt.
This kind of thing involving coffins will always make people feel more or less taboo.
And the weird sound coming from the coffin just now seemed like there was something alive in the coffin.
But how is this possible?
Both of them were on tenterhooks along the way. To them, this short road seemed like they had been driving for centuries.
There seemed to be something wrong with the fat man. He kept frowning and his face was full of solemnity.
Just now, he seemed to be asleep and had no idea what was happening.
But he knew very well that although he was tired, he would never fall asleep.
And at this time, Fatty always felt that something was not quite right...
On the quiet road, only the sound of the engine can be heard. This sound has been echoing in the ears of several people, which will inevitably make people feel a little irritable.
Wang Shuo, who was sitting in the passenger seat, had been unable to calm down because of his many thoughts. Now that he heard this voice again, he couldn't help but pull down the window and want to breathe fresh air.
The fat man had been deep in thought. He was trying hard to recall what had just happened and to find out what made him feel something was wrong.
There are many things that become less clear the more he thinks about them, and Fatty is now trapped in such a strange circle.
The investigator who was driving was still frightened because of the sound he heard coming from the coffin, so he looked back from the rearview mirror from time to time, for fear that something bad would happen again.
The three of them had their own thoughts, so that no one spoke. It was not until soon after that the investigator took the lead to break the silence:
"Why does it feel like we've been driving for a long time? Logically speaking, it shouldn't be too far from Xiheli Road to Liuhuo Avenue..."
The investigator just said this unintentionally, but it made the fat man, who had been thinking hard, suddenly widen his eyes.
Yes, at least half an hour has passed since we got in the car.
But they came from Liuhuo Avenue before, and it only took 20 minutes on Xiheli Road.
The fat man suddenly raised his head and looked out the window, then patted the investigator on the shoulder:
"Where is this? Why don't I remember there is such a road?"
The investigator driving the car seemed to have woken up from a dream. It was clear that he had been watching the road conditions along the way and looked around:
"Hey, where is this?"
Wang Shuo also felt that something was not right at this moment. He stuck his head out of the window and looked around, only to realize that they had entered a completely unfamiliar road.
As you can see, the road is winding and rugged, with no straight road at all.
There are lush trees on both sides, and looking further into the distance is darkness. There are no buildings, no lights, and some are just dead silence.
"How did you drive? Are you driving to the suburbs?"
While talking, Wang Shuo was about to open the door and get out of the car, but at this moment the fat man suddenly held his shoulders:
"do not move!"
Wang Shuo suddenly stiffened, the fat man's tone was harsh, and there was urgency in his voice.
The three of them sat quietly in the car, no one could figure out the current situation in front of them.
At this moment, several figures walked by the roadside outside the window. As they walked forward, these people bent down to pick something up on the ground, holding a thick pile in their hands.
Wang Shuo squinted his eyes, trying hard to see what these people were picking up.
But when he really saw it clearly, a confused expression quickly appeared on his face.
I saw a lot of money falling on the ground on both sides of the road.
As these people walked forward, they picked up money on the ground.
The investigator also looked out of the left-hand window, and sure enough, the ground there was full of money.
It was obviously late at night, but there were a lot of people coming and going on this road. There were men and women, old and young. They were all staring at the ground and holding a handful of money in their hands. .
"What's going on? Money is falling from the sky?"
The investigator scratched his head in confusion. The scene in front of him really made him feel a little confused.
But the fat man sitting in the back seat frowned at this moment, then gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence:
"Damn it, why did you drive on the ghost road?"
