Daxia City, somewhere in an unknown dark area.
Unlike the high-rise buildings in the city center of Daxia, most of the buildings here are broken bricks and tiles. Countless neighbors live in the tube buildings that have been in disrepair for a long time. Compared with the city, it is a different scene.
This is a well-known poor area in Daxia City.
It is inhabited by some poor families or migrant workers who rent houses.
Although the place is shabby, the rent is cheap and the cost of living is low, which is perfect for these people.
The strong wind swept the dark clouds, and the edge of the city shrouded in dark clouds showed a gloomy scene.
Dark clouds are pressing down on the city, threatening to destroy it. It may not be appropriate to use this poem to describe it, but the feeling is not much different.
In the dilapidated alleys of unfinished buildings, the sound of several children playing and playing can be heard endlessly. Compared with the beautiful situation of children's computers, mobile phones, games and wifi in the city center, they are a bit tragic.
Cable television and playing with friends are their main forms of entertainment.
"Tiedan, don't run away, it's your turn to play the monster, I want to play Ultraman." A little boy shouted in grievance.
In this game of Ultraman vs. Little Monsters, he has played the monster five times in a row, which makes him very unhappy.
"You look like a monster, why do you want to play Ultraman? I guess it's Ultraman, with dynamic light waves! Biubiubiu".
The boy nicknamed Tiedan made a mocking face and even rolled his eyes. He was not going to adopt the other person's opinion. He was the child king of this area, and Ultraman could only be him.
The little boy pouted in grievance, tears welling up in his eyes, as if he was about to cry in the next second.
Then he threw the small stick in his hand and ran away without forgetting to throw it away.
"I'm not playing anymore."
After this sound, the friends dispersed and walked away. Tiedan stood in the alley bored and kicked a stone aside and muttered.
"It's boring."
The stone was kicked to the wall, turned back several times due to the collision, and finally fell to the ground, as if it had hit something.
In the dark alley, a cat meowed.
"Meow~"
The sound was sharp and unusual, but it attracted Tiedan's attention.
He narrowed his eyes, quickened his pace, turned a corner and reached a dead end.
He saw the cat.
A completely black cat. In the dim environment, he could even see the cat's eyes shining with fluorescent light.
Tiedan is very happy to see Hunter Xin happy.
A cat with glowing eyes, if caught by him, he can show off in front of his friends.
To be conservative, he bent over and knelt down, ready to attack with one strike.
At this moment, the cat looked back.
It's now! Tiedan pounced and hit the target perfectly.
He carefully released his closed hands into a small hole and poked inside.
But found something different.
The cat's belly seemed to be hairless and smooth, like human skin.
On that skin, there was a small staircase tattoo shining brightly.
Tiedan was stunned. Before he could take a closer look, he felt a sharp pain pressing against the cat's belly.
He subconsciously wanted to do something, but saw scarlet blood flowing all over the floor.
As time went by, the boy's vitality was eroded bit by bit.
The rosy skin turned pale bit by bit, then cracked, and finally looked like a dried corpse.
"Dingling bell~Dingling bell~"
A phone ring seemed to ring in the silence, catching the cat's attention.
Looking around, I saw a figure suddenly appearing at the end of the originally empty dead end.
The figure seems to be a woman, wearing a very decent professional attire, with pale skin and extremely beautiful appearance.
The most eye-catching thing is her hands, which are spread out very respectfully.
It's like a devout believer holding a token from the gods.
That's a phone.
An old-fashioned telephone that is completely black!
That burst of ringing seemed to cause some movement in the black cat's body, and its body showed various abnormal movements. When it reappeared, a half-broken human skin was lying quietly in the middle of the alley, with a strange brilliance flashing.
The woman stepped forward and picked up the human skin.
Another step forward, and there was no trace.
-------------------------------------------------- -------------------
The journey for Shen Lin and his party went smoothly.
After experiencing the turmoil in Chang'an City, the rest of the journey was uneventful.
It was unexpected to encounter the powerful ghost that could only corrode the ghost realm, which filled Shen Lin's heart with gloom.
Although he was unsure about many things, he was certain of one thing. If left unchecked, that thing would definitely become a big trouble.
Fortunately, all this does not need to be a headache for him for the time being. Chang'an City and Daxia City are three urban areas apart, so even if there is an incident, there is a high probability that it will not affect him.
This is a disguised reminder for Shen Lin. If necessary, he can go to the shopping mall in Dongchuan City to investigate.
The appearance of this ghost was just accidental. If it was intentional, everything behind it might be much more complicated than Shen Lin thought.
The human-skinned paper puzzle pieces split apart in his hands in order to save his life. In a blink of an eye, the ghost escaped from the ghost realm of the Upside Down Ghost and appeared in the outside world.
All this is hardly a coincidence.
Shen Lin had suffered a lot from the ghost staircase before, and there were not many smart ghosts in the recovery. That thing was always a serious concern for him, and something would happen sooner or later if he left it alone.
Shen Lin's eyes narrowed slightly.
Regardless of whether the ghost in the tunnel was the result of the ghost staircase, he needed to start looking for the ghost next.
A ghost that has always been wise represents a strong ability to grow. No one knows what will happen if it is allowed to grow.
"We're here, Mr. Shen, I won't go in." Dai Heming stopped the car near the villa, appearing polite and not intending to disturb Shen Lin when he returned home for the first time.
The Changshou Village group had already made Shen Lin aware of Dai Heming's physical problems, and Dai Heming was confident that Shen Lin would not let him go.
The future is long, so there is no need to rush into trouble at this time.
Shen Lin nodded and drove back to the villa without leaving anyone behind.
Zhao Ziliang followed behind with no intention of leaving, looking like a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water.
He killed Qian Bojun before, and later killed the surveillance person to give Shen Lin a surrender certificate, and then clashed with He Tianxiong and others in Fengmen Village.
Now Zhao Ziliang is firmly bound to Shen Lin in the eyes of outsiders. He is on a pirate ship, so he can only rely on it.
Shen Lin didn't plan to chase people away. He had some ideas about the plan for the future headquarters. Sooner or later, he would recruit team members. Zhao Ziliang was a useful knife, and the people in Fengmen Village were obedient enough. He was very satisfied.
Without using the key, Guiyu flipped the door lock. Shen Lin opened the door lightly and was about to enter, but the situation inside made him frown slightly.
It was empty as imagined, or the scene where Li Meng and others were having fun did not appear.
Instead, they all sat upright, and when they saw Shen Lin at the door, he showed an expression uglier than crying.
Sitting on the sofa in the hall was a polite young man in casual clothes. He was very handsome. His cold face looked more like a mechanical operation and he didn't have much popularity.
Behind the sofa where he is sitting, there is a man and a woman standing on the left and right.
The man was dressed in black and wore sunglasses with a cropped head. Every move he made was very well-behaved and he seemed to be from the army.
The woman is dressed similarly, but the difference is that her eyes are different. There is a touch of affection in the eyes that no one can see, and her eyes are directed at the young man sitting on the sofa.
The young man skillfully used the tea set on Shen Lin's table, and Shen Lin could smell the aroma of tea the moment he walked in.
There are particularities to brewing tea. Most people treat it like drinking from a cow. Very few people can make tea that is fragrant.
"You're back? Sit down, the tea I prepared is just right."
The young man said so.
Zhao Ziliang moved his hands slightly, and just when he wanted to do something, he felt that the surrounding environment seemed to turn green at that moment, and the ghosts on his body were a little restless. Looking around, he happened to see the young man wearing sunglasses who was very angry. Looking at himself indifferently, through the lenses of the sunglasses, he seemed to see two firelights lingering in the other person's eyes.
Ghostland!
At this stage, there are not many ghost masters who can own the ghost realm, and even fewer are willing to be driven by others. Who is in front of me?
Circle of friends?
Zhao Ziliang's eyes flashed with murderous intent. If it was a circle of friends, he wouldn't mind killing them all.
He raised his right hand and was about to take action when he was stopped by Shen Lin.
A dark red light tore through everything, and the entire villa returned to its original state again.
There was a rare look of surprise in Li Jun's eyes. Although he didn't use all his strength, the fact that the other party could break through the restrictions of his ghost domain so easily was beyond his expectation.
What surprised him even more was that he didn't notice the other party's breakthrough at all.
It's incredible.
Shen Lin took a step forward and sat opposite the young man. He picked up the tea on the table and drank it in one gulp.
"The tea is good."
"Do you know tea?" Wang Xiaoming asked casually as he added another cup.
"I don't understand, but the tea you brewed isn't too bad after all." Shen Lin responded, his eyes burning, not avoiding the other party.
Those two pairs of eyes seemed to spark a different kind of spark in mid-air, and a rare smile appeared on Wang Xiaoming's face.
As serious as he is, it's rare to meet such an interesting person.
"You seem a little surprised by my arrival."
Just like chatting with neighbors, just like gossip in the market, Wang Xiaoming asked casually, as if he didn't care about the answer.
"Indeed, in my understanding, you should not appear here at this stage."
When he came out of the ghost pawn shop, he happened to meet Xiao Yang who was about to go to Huanggang Village. This happened about half a month ago.
The Huanggang Village incident should have ended earlier than him. Wang Xiaoming worked hard to get the coffin, and he should be at the headquarters now.
He shouldn't be here.
