You said you could kill the evil spirits without me, why are you crying now?

Chapter 398 From this moment on, the role of cannon fodder will begin to change

The night is like a huge black curtain.

The entire construction site was tightly covered.

The lights around the construction site were flashing as hard as they could.

Trying to dispel this endless darkness, but still seems powerless.

In this seemingly ordinary but mysterious open space,

Suddenly, a heart-wrenching scream sounded like a sharp dagger.

Piercing the silence of the night,

The sound was long and mournful.
As if some evil force had tightly grasped his throat, he struggled in agony.

It kept circling and echoing in the air, making every hair on people stand up unconsciously.

Zheng Bolan and Zheng Xuezhen, who were already extremely nervous,
At this moment, he was frightened by the sudden scream and his whole body trembled, as if he was hit by an electric current.

Their faces instantly turned as pale as paper, bloodless.
My body couldn't help but shiver violently, as if I was trapped in a freezing cold ice cellar.

Almost at the same moment,

The two of them looked towards the direction of the sound like frightened deer.
His eyes were filled with fear and vigilance.
It was as if there was a ferocious beast hiding in that dark corner, ready to devour anyone.

Zheng Qifeng and Xiang Xiufang were also frightened by the scream and their faces turned pale.
The originally calm face was now distorted into a hideous look.

There was a flash of panic in their eyes.
But years of life experience allowed them to calm down quickly after a brief panic.

Zheng Qifeng glanced sharply around the surrounding situation.

Then he brought a few burly, strong-looking workers with him.
They hurried towards the source of the sound, their steps hurried and panicked.
Every step was filled with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness.

Chu He and Xia Chengli followed behind slowly.

Chu He's expression was as calm as water, his deep eyes revealed a calmness and composure, and the changes in the world could hardly cause any waves in his heart.

Xia Chengli has a light figure and graceful steps.

There was a hint of confidence and calmness in his eyes, and he was well prepared for the unknown situation he was about to face.

Zheng Bolan and Zheng Xuezhen were like two frightened little quails.

He followed closely behind Chu He and Xia Chengli, not daring to leave them.

They are the only safe haven in this dark world.

Zheng Bolan and Zheng Xuezhen's eyes were like searchlights.
He kept looking around, his eyes full of suspicion.

Every slight movement, every sway of shadows, can make their heartbeats speed up instantly.
They were afraid that something terrible would suddenly jump out of the darkness and ruthlessly take their lives in the next second.

Everyone jogged along and in a moment they arrived at the place where the screams came from.

I saw a man wearing a yellow helmet.

A middle-aged man in reflective work clothes was lying on the cold, hard ground.

His body twitched violently and uncontrollably, being manipulated by an invisible force.

A continuous stream of miserable cries came out of his mouth.

The sound seemed like the wailing of evil spirits coming from the depths of hell, making people's scalps tingle and their hearts run cold.

His eyes were red and lifeless, staring at the sky.

It was like seeing something horrible beyond imagination in that endless darkness.
His eyes were filled with fear and despair.
The soul was deeply gripped by the terrible scene.

His hands and feet seemed to be controlled by an evil ghost.
It kept moving around with its fangs and claws bared, looking extremely ferocious and terrifying, which made people shudder.

A group of workers gathered around, all with terrified looks on their faces.
I took a few steps back unconsciously.
Keep a safe distance from the twitching man, as if he was carrying some deadly plague.

Some nearby work vehicles also stopped.
The originally noisy construction site has become unusually quiet at this moment.
It was so quiet that only the man's miserable screams could be heard echoing in the air.
The whole world was frozen by this sudden terrorist incident.

"Hou Yugui, what's going on?"

Zheng Qifeng walked forward cautiously.

I wanted to get closer to check on the man, but I was a little hesitant.

In the end, I didn't dare to touch the man directly with my hands.

He just stood aside and asked loudly, with tension and anxiety in his voice.

“We really don’t know!”

A worker quickly replied, his voice trembling so much that he was about to burst into tears: "We were just working hard in this area, and everyone was doing a good job.

But for some reason, Hou Yugui suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He said in a panic that there was something and someone was watching him.
Then he shouted in horror and said it was a ghost.

At first we all thought he was joking, so we ignored him and continued with our work.

But he became more and more anxious, running back and forth around us.

He kept muttering that there was a ghost, and there really was a ghost.

Then, he suddenly fell on his back and became what he is now."

"Isn't this a seizure?"

A staff member who was responsible for supervising the work on site came over with a frown on his face.

Looking at the man twitching on the ground, he said with a worried look on his face.

Zheng Qifeng's brows were knitted together tightly, as if they could pinch a fly to death.
His eyes revealed deep worry and anxiety.

He couldn't help but think of what his son had just said.

When I encountered a strange incident involving a group of women wearing ancient clothes, I couldn't help but feel a chill in my heart.

It was as if a pair of cold hands were tightly grasping his heart.

This series of strange events,
This man who has been struggling in society for decades and has always been strong enough to carry the entire family on his shoulders,

I couldn't help but feel an inexplicable fear.

Trapped in a bottomless dark vortex, unable to extricate oneself.

"Mr. Chu, can you see any clues?"

Zheng Qifeng turned his head and looked at Chu He with expectation and help.
His eyes were filled with desire for answers.

Faced with this series of strange events, he subconsciously placed all his hopes on Chu He.

Chu He is their only lifeline in this darkness and the messenger of light that can dispel this endless fear.

The night was as dark as ink, shrouding the construction site deeply.

The lights around the construction site flickered in the night wind, like a group of tired night watchmen.
Struggling to resist the erosion of darkness.

There was a depressing and gloomy atmosphere in the air, which made people feel a chill in their hearts unconsciously.

Chu He stood there quietly, his figure tall and straight, like a proud pine tree.

His face is stern and his eyes are deep and focused.

Suddenly, he slightly raised his right hand, which was white and slender, with distinct joints.

Like a fine work of art.

I saw his fingers gently bent, his movements elegant and calm, as if he was playing a silent piece of music.

Then, he flicked his finger lightly, and a ray of light suddenly burst out from his fingertips.
The light is faint but mysterious.

Like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky,

With an otherworldly atmosphere,

It instantly drilled into the body of Hou Yugui, a middle-aged man who was twitching violently on the ground.

Hou Yugui seemed to be possessed by a demon.
The body was shaking violently and uncontrollably, with limbs flailing wildly.

Fighting a desperate battle with an invisible force.

However, at the moment when that ray of light entered his body,

His movements seemed to be gently soothed by a pair of gentle yet powerful hands.
Gradually becoming calmer.

His eyes slowly opened, initially with a hint of confusion and bewilderment in them.

Like a traveler lost in the vast fog, unable to find the direction.

But gradually, his scattered pupils began to focus again.
There is a mysterious force pulling them in the darkness.

Get them back on track.

His eyes became much clearer.

It is no longer the empty and lifeless appearance it had before, but has been injected with new vitality and vigor.

Hou Yuguai's consciousness slowly climbed out from an endless dark abyss and gradually regained consciousness.

He looked at the familiar and unfamiliar faces around him.
With a look of surprise and confusion on his face, he asked subconsciously: "I...what happened to me just now?"

His voice was a little weak and hoarse, as if he had just experienced a life-and-death catastrophe.

There are still some vague fragments of memory in my mind.

Those fragments are like broken lenses, flashing a terrifying light.
But I could not piece together a complete picture of the incident.

His expression was full of confusion and puzzlement.

I just woke up from a bizarre and terrifying nightmare.
However, the scene in the dream felt extremely unfamiliar, leaving only fear and confusion in my heart.

Zheng Qifeng saw that Hou Yugui had regained consciousness.
A feeling of joy suddenly surged in my heart.

In this foreign land,

Every foreigner from the Great Xia Empire is like a lonely boat drifting in the vast ocean.
There is always a special emotional bond between them that connects them closely.

Zheng Qifeng is fully aware of his responsibility to take care of these fellow villagers.
He absolutely did not want Hou Yugui to make any mistakes on the construction site he was responsible for.

This is not only because he has to bear the corresponding responsibilities, but more importantly, he really can't bear to face the expectant and worried eyes of Hou Yugui's family.

If something unfortunate happens,
He will be ashamed to face the enemy, and that will be a guilt that will never be erased from his heart.

"Hou Yugui, think carefully about what happened just now?
Why do you keep mumbling about ghosts? "

The staff member in charge of supervision stepped forward and looked at Hou Yugui with concern.
There was a hint of urgency and anticipation in his tone.

His words are like a gentle hand.
Trying to clear the fog of confusion in Hou Yugui's mind,
Let him recall more details to solve this sudden mystery.

At the same time, his words seemed to remind Hou Yugui,
Don't be completely consumed by fear, work hard to regain those forgotten memories.

The workers around saw Chu He just flicked his fingers lightly.
It was like magic.
Let Hou Yugui wake up from the terrible state just now,

They couldn't help but look at Chu He with surprise and awe.

Their eyes were full of curiosity and doubt, and they were secretly speculating in their hearts.
Who is this seemingly young guy?

Could it be that he is a hidden genius?

Possessing extraordinary abilities?
Or is there really some unknown secret hidden in this construction site?

As a result, Zheng Qifeng had already noticed it and specially invited a person like Chu He to take charge.

To deal with possible dangers?

All kinds of speculation spread in the workers' minds like weeds.
Growing wildly in this depressing atmosphere makes the already tense atmosphere even more solemn.

Hou Yugui's body was trembling slightly.

The fear on his face became more intense.
He seemed to be trying to recall the horrific scene just now. After a moment,

He said in a trembling voice: "I remember, I saw a ghost!

I was cleaning up the area at the time.

The shovel in his hand dug the soil again and again, and each knock felt like knocking on the gate of hell.

Suddenly, I dug up something, and when I looked closely, it turned out to be a human face!
That face suddenly appeared before my eyes, pale and distorted.
There was a strange smile on the corner of his mouth, and he kept smiling at me.

It made me feel creepy.

I was so scared that I almost lost my soul. I thought it was an illusion.
So I rubbed my eyes and looked carefully again.
The face mysteriously disappeared.
It's like it never happened.

But when I just raised my head, that face appeared in front of me again.
This time he was even closer to me, with my face less than two centimeters away from his.
I could clearly feel the cold air he exhaled.
The coldness is freezing my soul.

Before I could even scream, the face came crashing towards me.
And then... I don’t know anything about what happened afterwards.”

Hou Yugui's eyes were filled with fear.

The horrific scene seemed to reappear before his eyes.
He couldn't help himself, and his body was shaking unconsciously with fear, as if he had returned to that moment again.

"What is going on? Is this construction site really haunted?"

A young worker couldn't help but speak loudly, with a hint of trembling and panic in his voice,

His eyes were filled with fear and he kept looking around, worried that a ghost was next to him.

“No wonder I always feel cold when I’m working on this construction site even though it’s a hot summer day.

I didn’t think much about it at the time, but now that I think about it carefully, there really is something wrong.”

Another middle-aged worker echoed this, with a hint of fear on his face.

He rubbed his arms unconsciously, trying to dispel the inexplicable chill.

"Boss Zheng, you have to give us an explanation for this matter.

A similar problem occurred on a construction site in my hometown before.

Every night, I would hear someone crying, and later many people died on the construction site.

The boss of the construction site invited a master to perform a ritual.

Finally, the matter was resolved.

You can't joke with our lives!"

An older worker stepped forward and said to Zheng Qifeng with a serious look,
There was a tone of unquestionable in his words.

It is obvious that he takes this matter very seriously and is worried that his own safety and the safety of his fellow workers will be threatened.

There was a hint of anxiety and anger in his eyes.
Staring at Zheng Qifeng closely, waiting for a reasonable explanation and solution from him.

At the construction site shrouded in darkness, lights flickered, illuminating a group of workers with different expressions.

They all came from the Great Xia Empire, and they had hopes and aspirations for life.
Leaving my hometown and coming to this strange land to sweat,

I hope to earn a stable life for my family.

But at this moment, fear is like an invisible thread.

It tightly wrapped around each of them, making their faces full of tension and anxiety.

Many people have shown their determination to escape from this "hell place".

Some people have even begun secretly thinking about how to resign as soon as possible and stay away from this terrible place of trouble.

Zheng Qifeng stood aside, frowning.

His eyes revealed deep helplessness and anxiety.

His eyes swept across the workers' faces one by one, with mixed feelings in his heart.

These are the brothers from the same hometown who followed him to work hard.

Now, we are in such a panic situation.
But he was totally clueless for a moment and didn't know what to do.

In this turbulent era of evil spirit invasion,
The entire Blue Star fell into endless fear and despair.

Countless lives were lost at the hands of evil spirits, like candles in the wind, fragile and helpless.

Under the impact of these successive disasters, people's once unshakable faith in science gradually collapsed.

Now, facing this sudden and bizarre incident, just a few pale and powerless words of comfort are enough.
How can we calm the turbulent waves in everyone's hearts?
"Mr. Chu, what do you think we should do?"

Zheng Qifeng looked at Chu He with a worried look on his face, his voice trembling with helplessness.

He knew very well that the situation had reached a critical moment.
If we are not careful, it may cause greater chaos.

Chu He stood there quietly, and heard Zheng Qifeng's question.
He raised his head slightly, looked into the distance, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's temporarily stop the construction site.

Then report what happened here truthfully to the person you are in contact with.
I think you should understand what I mean.

Let them come and see for themselves what this is all about.”

"The energy on this construction site is extremely chaotic and getting more and more manic.

It's like a beast about to break free from its cage, and it could explode with astonishing destructive power at any time."

Chu He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity: "According to my estimation, your development of this land should have gradually touched upon some key things, and you are getting closer and closer to the truth."

Chu He recalled the land development plan he had seen before.

The plan above seems to be detailed and perfect.

Now it seems that there is an air of weirdness and conspiracy everywhere.

The plan contains a variety of exquisite design drawings, including buildings that retain the unique Tokyo style.
There are also modern buildings that soar into the sky like the Lighthouse Empire.
It seems to cleverly combine the cultural customs of the White and Red Empire with the modern and magnificent style of the Lighthouse Empire.
Create a unique urban model.

However, Chu He knew very well that behind this seemingly grand blueprint, there was actually a huge conspiracy.

The White-Red Empire did not really want to build this land into a prosperous modern city.

Instead, they used Zheng Bolan and others to allow them to, in this seemingly ordinary land development process,

Keep digging, trying to find out what the White-Red Empire really wants.

These innocent workers are nothing more than cannon fodder that they can discard at will.

"I understand what Mr. Chu means."

Zheng Qifeng nodded slightly, with a hint of determination in his eyes.

He turned around, faced all the workers, waved his hand, and shouted loudly: "Everyone go and have a rest first.

Salaries will be paid as usual.

Once things are settled here, I will notify everyone to come back and continue working as soon as possible."

Zheng Qifeng's voice was firm and powerful, echoing in the chaotic construction site and giving the workers reassurance.

"Boss Zheng is generous!"

There was a burst of cheers from the crowd.

Many workers showed joy on their faces.

In this difficult time, Zheng Qifeng's decision undoubtedly made them feel a little warmth and comfort.

This is also the reason why they have been willing to work wholeheartedly with Zheng Qifeng over the years.

They knew very well that Zheng Qifeng was a man who valued friendship and loyalty.
Even in the case of an unexpected accident like today, when we cannot work normally,

He would never do anything to exploit workers.
Instead, we will stick to our promise and pay everyone the wages they deserve in full.

Zheng Qifeng silently took out his mobile phone and slid his finger across the screen.

Found a number from the densely packed contact book.

He took a deep breath, as if to encourage himself.

Then he pressed the dial button.

He knew clearly that since there were problems at the construction site,
The White-Red Empire attempted to use them as cannon fodder to test unknown dangers.
Then he can't just sit there and wait for death.

He wanted to do the opposite and take advantage of the fact that the construction site could not continue.

Put pressure on the White-Red Empire and force them to send people to solve the problem.

From this moment on, the role of cannon fodder will begin to change.
And this invisible war has just begun.
