The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

Chapter 24 Human Skin Avalokitesvara

Cen Jin was the last to enroll in the school and majored in paddling, so he was assigned to an old building in a remote location.

The sunny side of the old building is covered with ivy, which blocks the sun in summer and is very shady.In winter, when the ivy leaves are withered, the sun will be sufficient, but it will be warm.The only advantage of this old building is that it is warm in winter and cool in summer. Other facilities are insufficient, there is no elevator, WiFi, and it is very far from the teaching building, so not many students are willing to live in this building.

The teaching assistant said: "I will transfer you to live in the new dormitory building as soon as there are vacancies. Now I will live here temporarily."

Cen Jin stepped into the dormitory building and found it was very quiet, so he asked, "Is there no one living there?"

Teaching assistant: "Graduates who come back for examinations, social self-study personnel who take self-examinations for graduation certificates, and graduates who have completed their studies, generally arrange them to live in this old building. By the way, there are also examiners, who are reserve personnel of certain departments of the institution. You need to pass the assessment to become a regular, and the assessment is arranged by the school."

The old building has seven floors, and Cen Jin's dormitory is on the top floor. Climbing up and down every day is a bit strenuous, but the environment is quiet and the corridors are clean, and since no one lives in the old building, he can have the dormitory to himself.

Opening the door, the teaching assistant handed him the dormitory key, student ID card and student card, and then said his contact number: "Call me on my mobile phone if you need anything, and you can check the course schedule in the Pink APP."

"Isn't it a forum?"

"More than that. All kinds of activities, such as school curriculum schedule, interest class selection, examination notice, autumn outing and spring outing, will be notified in the APP. It is very powerful. You can explore it slowly." After the teaching assistant finished speaking, he saw that Cen Jin was fine and left.

Cen Jin closed the door and observed the dormitory alone.

The dormitory is no different from other university dormitories, with a total area of ​​about 26 square meters. The toilet and bathroom are in the direction of the gate, and the shoe cabinet is also facing the bathroom.The back room leads directly to the balcony, and there is only a bunk iron bed, next to it is a desk and chair with a cabinet, and other odds and ends such as an electric kettle.

Generally speaking, it is quite spacious and well-equipped. Although it is not as good as the new dormitory building, it is much better than the previous university.

Cen Jin cheered, threw himself heavily on the bed, thinking about going to the hotel tomorrow to pick up his luggage, buy some daily necessities, and then save the 3000 yuan.

A one-semester scholarship of [-] may seem like a lot, but it doesn't take long in reality. You still have to find a stable job to make money.

Rubbing his stomach, Cen Jin felt a little urgent to urinate, got up and went to the bathroom, pushed open the door, and looked at Yuan Tong who was holding a copper bell beside the toilet.

"..."

As soon as Yuantong and Tongling opened their mouths, Cen Jin closed the door, meditated for three seconds, and murmured: "Isn't the afternoon's phantom detection over yet?" He pinched his arm, and the pain woke him up, "Now the phantom should disappear. "

Pushing open the door, Ding Yiqing was playing with the shower while turning the faucet: "How does the hot water come out?"

boom!

Cen Jin slammed the door shut, went back to the bed with his head in his arms, and covered his head with the quilt: "The illusion is too scary. As expected of the Virgin Mary, I actually saw hell in the toilet! How can I go to the toilet in the future? What if I suffocate to death? Weird's trick is too poisonous, and his heart can be punished."

"We adhere to the advanced service concept that customers are God, and provide you with accommodation and services at any time, and accompany you around. You are our first human tenant. No matter where you go in the future, as long as you look back, you can see us watching silently .”

"...No. I refuse the back spirit service."

"Refusal is invalid, and I have the final say on whether to accept the service or not."

When Cen Jin looked up, he saw that the dormitory had become a hut in the forest, but when he opened the door, it was still the corridor of the dormitory.

Ding Yiqing was still in a black gold-woven robe, and his face was indescribably beautiful. He was sitting on a recliner, with his chin resting, and the two nested pupils in his silver-white eyes were firmly locked on Cen Jin: "Five bedrooms and three halls duplex. Big house, one kitchen and two bathrooms, you can carry it with you, no limit on the size of the space, and you will be charged rent once a month, how can you refuse such a good offer?"

"Others will be kicked out of the house if they don't pay the rent at most. If I don't pay the rent, I will be eaten. Other people's roommates are the gangsters at worst. My roommate—" Cen Jin glanced at Tonglingtou and Yuantong, what he wanted to say It has been revealed in his eyes: "Other people's landlords are people! People will not be greedy for the tenant's body!"

Ding Yiqing: "So I'm not human."

He admitted it without shame, but Cen Jin couldn't refute it.

Cen Jin sat down on the sofa and stared at the wall behind the fireplace. There were many white shadow reliefs on the wall, which looked weird and gloomy.

However, after turning on the lights, the hall is much brighter, dispelling the gloomy atmosphere, and it looks a bit artistic.

"I don't accept the deal of selling your body, give up." Cen Jin leaned forward with his elbows on his thighs, stared at Ding Yiqing and said suddenly: "There is a legendary boss with the same name as you in the organization. I saw it in the forum. Detailed information about him. He is 27 years old this year. He has no father and no mother. He was adopted by an institution. He heard that the sequence of extraordinary skills is very high. But he, his mission, whereabouts, whether he is still alive, etc., are all occasionally dictated by a few legendary bosses in the organization, without any file records, and it is not even clear where to go to mission.

Like...he's gone missing or dead. "

Ding Yiqing: "You suspect that person is me?"

Cen Jin: "You have the same name. Reasonable question."

Ding Yiqing: "I don't know which year, a human broke into the underground reservoir, opened the golden coffin and negotiated a deal with me, and finally I devoured him. He said his name was Ding Yiqing, because he wanted to find someone who didn't exist. crazy."

Cen Jin didn't want to know more secrets, he questioned that he just wanted to find a way to get rid of Ding Yiqing, and the other party frankly admitted that this was not his weakness.

"Can you leave the cistern now?"

"The hut in the forest is the only medium to connect the underground reservoir with the outside world, and you are the only human tenant, so I can only find you."

The implication is that Ding Yiqing's body is still trapped in the golden coffin of the underground reservoir, and the cabin in the forest is equal to any door, with freedom of movement but limited power, at least right now there is no way to seek revenge, so I have to lobby with Cen Jin to accept it' Insurance Services'.

Cen Jin: "Believe it or not, I will report you to the school."

"Go. 1 supports." Ding Yiqing: "First of all, I can disappear at any time. Secondly, if I remember correctly, the extraordinary technique you master is called 'Speaking Spirit', and the sequence rank is within 15-20. It is estimated that the school will only persuade you to make false claims with me first, and use my power to kill other weirdos before you deal with me."

Cen Jin's face was sullen and his head was downcast.

Ding Yiqing persuaded softly: "Don't resist, lie flat and enjoy the gift of fate."

"It's the bad news of fate." Cen Jin muttered, turned over and lay on the sofa, closed his eyes wearily, and let his thoughts fall into darkness.

Ding Yiqing looked sideways at Cen Jin, his facial features were carefully carved like gods, gorgeous and perfect without any subtle expression changes, his silver and black eyes were exquisite and strange, and a chaotically shaped silver ornament tied with a red rope at the radial bone flashed coldly from time to time.

He lowered his eyes, stroked his index finger, and disappeared in the next moment, leaving only a reclining chair dangling around.

Resent Tong and Tong Lingtou, who pretended to be non-existent throughout the whole process and were actually under tremendous pressure, breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's go.", "I was scared to death.", "Huang Mao can still sleep.", "I just said he is a abnormal.".

They muttered and slandered Cen Jin in a low voice, but Yuan Tong and Tong Lingtou still turned on the small light, and the other automatically hung on the back of the door to act as the doorbell.

The living room of the wooden house has returned to quietness and darkness, silently adjusting the magnetic field to fit the living beings so that they can relax and sleep peacefully in just 10 minutes. Five days ago, this ability was for picking tenants and catching food, but now it is only for Cen Jin Sleep fast.

Cen Jin once thought that the ability of the hut in the forest can relieve human anxiety, insomnia and other symptoms. If it is opened up, the business will definitely be booming, but now the hut is just as he wishes, but it only serves him.

***

Sihai Grotto · Shinto Pillar.

The investigation team tapped the records of each Shinto pillar, stored them in special containers, and prepared to take them back to the institution for study. There were many soldiers around who were fully armed to investigate the danger.

One of the investigators looked at the instrument in his hand and said: "The spiritual pollution value is 210, the warning zone is a second-level danger, the number of foreign objects is relatively large, but it is not a cause for concern. The records and tomb-suppressing beasts are worthy of further study."

"The records tell us that the Shendao Pillar was first built during the period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty. A prophet tricked the villagers into sacrificing children to suppress the strangeness in the underground reservoir. His real purpose was to create another strangeness to fight against Huangquan. plan failed."

Another group of investigators from the Underground River took photos of the broken tomb-suppressing beasts, and they could fully imagine the horrifying scene of dead bodies emerging from their cocoons. In the same place, the former sacrificed pregnant women and the latter sacrificed children, we have reason to suspect that the purpose is the same, and even the same group of people and the same prophet held the same sacrifice to kill pregnant women."

At this time, the soldiers working underwater picked up the erected copper coffin, the funerary object, and the golden door with the beautiful woman's face painted on it, and dragged all the things ashore, and others hurried over to help.

The investigator looked at the photos of the underwater golden tomb and the copper coffin, and pointed at the tape recorder to record on the spot: "In the ancient aristocratic tomb system, the sacrificial pregnant women were buried with them, or they might be nourishment. The real sacrifice is the body of a noble pregnant woman A child. An evil prophet bewitched a powerful local nobleman who controlled a certain force to sacrifice a high-status woman in the tribe, and cast a secret method on the woman, acting on the fetus in the womb.

Finally, the pregnant women are dissected, and when they are alive, the seven orifices are sealed with lime, filled in the stone statue of the tomb, and the sacrifices are fed back with the huge resentment and pain they suffered before their death.

The copper coffin is 25 meters long and 2 meters wide. It is a double-person coffin. The noble pregnant woman and her child were buried. They should have been raised as foreign objects.But Team Ye and the others said that there was only a strange baby in the copper coffin, and there was no mother's body. They preliminarily guessed that the mother's body was swallowed by the strange baby. "

The investigators walked around the copper coffin, and finally came to a conclusion: "Using the secret method to artificially cultivate high-risk weirdness, the purpose is to suppress the weirdness of Huangquan, or directly replace the weirdness of Huangquan. If the inscription on the Shendao Pillar is cracked, we should be able to know who is leading this large-scale sacrifice. sacrifice."

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a soldier squatting motionless on the ground with his underwater equipment still on his back. Feeling ominous, he raised his hand to signal the others to get out of the way. He approached the soldier and asked, "Who are you? Why are you kneeling?" Still on the ground? Is it hurt—”

Before he finished speaking, he saw the soldier's eyes rolled white, his expression pious and obsessed, his hands gripping the gun, he suddenly felt that something was wrong, he immediately backed away and shouted: "Run!"

The next moment, the soldier raised his gun and fired wildly, shouting wildly: "The Mother Goddess is blessed with longevity, and the kingdom of ghosts is approaching! If you enter my sect, believers will never die! If you don't believe me, you will have gray hair!"

The unprepared attack injured the unsuspecting people, and the suddenly crazy soldiers pulled out their daggers and cut their throats and died after running out of bullets. , the head of the blood-stained woman became more and more gorgeous and corrupt, and her frowns and smiles seemed to be bewitching.

The investigator hurriedly asked for a white cloth to cover the woman's head, with a serious expression on his face: "Immediately transport these things back to the capital for disposal, and all those who have touched the golden gate and the copper coffin will be quarantined after returning."

What he was thinking about was the "mother god" and "ghost country" in the mouth of the soldiers. Could it be the leader of the cruel sacrifice?Is it also a high-risk monster?

Could it be that the complex group burials in Sihai Grotto are two high-risk monsters suppressing each other?

The investigator wanted to collect more burial objects to solve the mystery, but he heard an urgent call from a colleague investigating the deep lake on the walkie-talkie: "Leave quickly... 嗞嗞... The underground reservoir is fluctuating, Huangquan chases away people..."

The investigator was shocked and immediately ordered: "Everyone retreat!"

The soldiers were well-trained, and quickly evacuated from the underground river. At the same time, the people stationed in the deep lake also left one after another, but there were still a few of them sleeping at the bottom of the lake forever.And when they left, they found that the spiritual pollution fluctuated violently. Obviously, the weirdness in the underground reservoir did not want them to continue to investigate further, so the group had to withdraw from Sihai Cave.

Fortunately, their trip was fruitful enough for the organization to be busy for several months.

***

It was rare for Cen Jin to have a dreamless night and discover the great advantages of the cabin in the forest for treating insomnia. Unfortunately, he was at the University of Michigan, so he couldn't package and sell it, so he lost a great opportunity to make money.

Classes started at 08:30, and now at 06:30, Cen Jin went to the hotel to get his luggage back, and canceled the rental by the way. When he came back, he picked a room and decorated it briefly, and interviewed some daily necessities and meat, etc., and put them in the kitchen.

The refrigerator, gas stove, and pots and pans in the kitchen are all available, but the foreign objects and human corpses that were once filled can’t be used. Cen Jin bought some new bowls and chopsticks to put in, and the refrigerator can still be used after cleaning.

The floor and walls have accumulated blood for a long time and it is difficult to clean. Cen Jin decided to buy new wallpaper and simple collage wooden floor tiles online to redecorate the cabin, and most of the lights in the house are dim, so I had to buy a bright desk lamp, because they don’t like too bright environment of.

After one pass of online shopping, the balance in the account has shrunk severely. The 3000 yuan bonus he received yesterday will soon be reduced to [-] yuan, and his idea of ​​​​renovating the furniture in the cabin can only be put on hold for the time being.

After the hut was completely renewed, Cen Jin brushed his teeth and washed his face, made simple toast and eggs for breakfast, and asked while eating, "Are you two going to live with me from now on?"

Tong Ling kept nodding his head, Yuan Tong's face was gloomy, and he glanced at the toast egg in his hand from time to time.

"You promise to feed the cottage every month."

Speaking of this, Cen Jin felt a bit of a headache. The hut ate raw meat and blood, and it was enough to feed it some chicken, duck and fish, but it had a big appetite, and it could eat poor him just once a month.

It seems that finding a part-time job is imminent.

Cen Jin sighed: "Yes, I promised." He tore off a piece of toast and an egg and handed it to Yu Tong: "I don't know if you can eat it, try it first."

Revenant Tong put his hands behind his back, pursed his lips, and stared at the toast egg like an enemy.

"Try it, it tastes good."

Yuan Tong grabbed the toast egg and quickly stuffed it into his mouth, his facial features were wrinkled, and his gray pupils revealed a bit of curiosity and childishness, ignoring the fact that his face was full of cracks, it was still a little cute.

"tui!"

The next moment, resentful child spat out in disgust.

Cen Jin took back its lovely preface: "Clean up this pile of trash yourself, I'm off to class, so don't go out and make trouble."

He locked the door, and the people from the opposite dormitory came out, and when they saw him, they immediately shouted, "Huangmao Sangpi?"

Cen Jin turned his head and saw a familiar face: "Examiner Zhou?"

That's right, the person opposite was Zhou Man who carried the unconscious Cen Jin out of the Four Seas Cave.

"Thank you for saving me."

If Zhou Man hadn't been persistent in looking for him, he might have been torn to pieces by a dead body or blown up by a missile.

Zhou Man: "It's our responsibility, not to mention rescue. By the way, your weapon is still with me. Wait a minute, I'll go get it out."

weapon?

Before Cen Jin had time to say anything, Zhou Man had already returned, and when he came out again, he was holding a bone chopping knife and a Western kitchen knife, and when handing them back to him, he said, "Your weapon is unique."

Cen Jin smiled awkwardly, took the two knives and stuffed them into his backpack, and went downstairs side by side with Zhou Man: "Examiner, do you live here too?"

"Call me Zhou Man or Senior Brother. I'll come back to test the certificate, and I'll transfer back after the test."

"Senior Brother Zhou, you studied in the main school before?"

"Yes. I'm three years older than you. I graduated three years ago and became a reserve investigator. I still haven't been able to become a full-time officer. I think if I can't transfer this year, I will transfer to logistics." While talking, a text message came from Zhou Man's cell phone , picked it up and looked at it, frowning, just wanted to refuse but thought about it, turned around and asked Cen Jin: "Junior brother, are you interested in part-time job?"

Cen Jin, who was worried about not having enough money, asked, "What part-time job?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Man recommended: "The library in the city center is short of a night administrator. On Saturdays and Sundays, I go to work at 36:[-] pm and get off work at [-]:[-] am. The hourly salary is [-] per hour."

Xinhaicheng stipulates that the hourly salary is 1.8, 1.5 times at night is 2.7, and the library is directly twice the original hourly salary, and he is only a part-time student. Is it okay to have such a high hourly salary?

Cen Jin asked doubts.

Zhou Man shook his phone and said, "There is indeed a small problem. This library is evil, and there are things causing trouble, but it doesn't hurt people. No one has been affected so far, so the hazard level is judged to be a normal level."

Cen Jin: "The agency won't deal with it?"

Zhou Man: "This is just a scary level. The institution won't take action, but the library owner will ask someone to solve the trouble. There are some reserve soldiers who usually have nothing to do, such as me, or students who are financially stressed to take on private jobs to earn extra money."

He shook his phone and said, "We have a dedicated post about private work, but usually we don't leave contact information, you can only receive private work through an intermediary. We add WeChat, and we want to earn extra money to find seniors in the future."

Cen Jin quickly added WeChat, and was pulled into a large group for private work. At the same time, he received a request for a librarian from Zhou Man, and he just went to the library directly from 4 to 6 pm to find the manager for an interview.

Zhou Man: "If you pass the interview, tell me later, I have to leave beforehand."

Cen Jin nodded, and left for class with Zhou Man.

He found the classroom, and the first day's courses were about getting to know classmates, selecting class cadres, etc., just like the first day of all schools, a big class at three o'clock in the afternoon with other professional students, accepting the school, institution and foreign objects. Basic science, nothing new.

However, there is a lot of gossip in the big class. Cen Jin knows that yesterday's potential test results were announced. Huang Jiang ranked 7th, her potential is close to A+, and her extraordinary skill sequence is 55. She is a well-deserved daughter of the day.

In addition to Huang Jiang, there are other people with strong potential and extraordinary skills. The first-ranked freshman is a boy. It is said that the potential is A+ and the sequence of extraordinary skills is 61. Although he can't make it into the top 60, his destructive power is not worse than the top 60. After comprehensive analysis His abilities in all aspects are quite outstanding, so he ranks first and is highly valued.

The freshmen with the top [-] potentials form another class, and study two professional courses of investigation and analysis and special operations at the same time. They don't train separately until the third year, and the school specially customizes a special training plan. It is said that the school and the country pay special attention to this genius class. There are even many legendary bosses among the teachers!

The brother from the same profession who met in the back row yesterday said with regret: "Brother Huang, in fact, with your qualifications, you should be able to be included in the genius class. Unfortunately, you are only a C, and you have wasted a lot of operations."

Cen Jin: "My surname is not Huang."

"Brother Huang, I know, it's okay, Brother Huang, our negotiating major is the pension department. After graduation, we only receive salary and don't work. No major is more leisurely than us, but don't belittle yourself. We can make foreign things go away with just a word of mouth. Butcher Knife chooses to be vegetarian—if it can listen to us patiently."

"Yeah, yeah, think about it, if the foreign body is carrying out a terrorist attack, it's when we come forward to communicate and save the innocent people among thousands of people—if the foreign body doesn't treat us as food."

"..."

Cen Jin couldn't help but lamented that everyone in the negotiation major was talented. He scratched his hair and didn't reply. When the get out of class bell rang, the impassioned classmate just disappeared, and his back was more cheerful than a dog.

With nothing to do after class, Cen Jin rushed to the downtown library. Since there were still two sharp knives hidden in his backpack, he had to take a bus to reach the downtown library before 6 o'clock.

The library faces a large square. There is a bronze statue of a woman in the center of the square. It is said that the prototype is the mother of the local richest man who invested in the construction of the library. Absorb moonlight to form a unique photosphere.

From a distance, it looks like a goddess holding a full moon and looking towards the direction of the universe. The design concept is unique and imaginative. It was selected as a landmark building in Xinhai City a few years ago and is very famous.

Cen Jin has heard of it but has never seen it. When he passed by this time, he deliberately took a second look and found that the bronze statue is lifelike. After looking at it for a long time, he will feel that the bronze statue is alive and a little creepy.

The bronze statue is wearing a long skirt, which is a bit like a Han Dynasty skirt. The silver mirror in the hand is cake-shaped, with a slightly protruding abdomen and a round figure. Overall, it looks good.

Cen Jin hurriedly passed the bronze statue, and a child behind him chased the ball and ran to the bronze statue. Suddenly, greasy liquid dripped from his cheek. He raised his head curiously, stared at the bronze statue for a long time, and suddenly ran back to the elder with a pale face. Throwing into grandma's arms and yelling loudly: "Woooo... I'm afraid!"

The old man hurriedly coaxed: "What's so scary about the bronze statue?...Okay, let's go home."

She went home with the child in her arms, and the summer evening was still as bright as day, but a faint outline of the moon had already appeared on the horizon, the silver ball in the bronze statue's hand shimmered, and the hidden part of the skirt faded slightly, revealing the inside A little pulsating scarlet.

……

During the interview, Cen Jin found that there were three other competitors, two men and one woman.

One of the men, a muscular, bear-like man, about 30 years old, was a former mercenary who was hired to travel across Somalia.

The other man was 27 or [-] years old, with a medium build, wearing glasses, and a gentle appearance. He claimed to be a graduate student of Xinhaicheng University. Regardless of the rumors of visions, he firmly did not believe in ghosts and gods.

The rest of the girls were dressed in gray clothes, about 23 or [-] years old, and they were also students of Xinhaicheng University, working part-time to earn living expenses, and had a year of school library management experience.

In comparison, Cen Jin has no advantage.

"What's your reason for staying?" asked the manager.

Cen Jin: "I believe in weirdness, I believe that new beliefs will be born, and I believe that a new world will come to human society."

The other three couldn't help casting strange glances, especially the sneering mockery in the eyes of the man with glasses.

Although the other two are not as firm as the man with glasses who do not believe in ghosts and gods, they still hold a dubious attitude towards the eloquent and weird remarks on the Internet.

But they know that many young people believe in this, and they also organize clubs such as the most popular supernatural pursuit and dead black clubs, recruiting people of the same age to play various live games looking for weirdness, in order to gain attention and click-through rates, Almost killed people and caused adverse effects on social order.

Therefore, the two have a very low impression of Cen Jin.

The manager is a middle-aged man who is as thin as a skeleton. He has two huge dark circles under his eyes, thin and deeply sunken cheeks, a gloomy expression, and cold eyes. He stared at Cen Jin for 2 minutes, threw down a bunch of keys and said: "You all stay to watch the night tonight, and you will be hired tomorrow if you are still alive."

Xiong Nan heard the words and asked, "What do you mean alive?"

The manager was impatient: "Don't you know that the library is haunted? Otherwise, why is the hourly salary so high? But you don't have to be afraid, the library has never killed anyone. If you are brave enough, you can live until tomorrow. If you are timid..." His gloomy gaze After scanning the few people present, he snorted coldly, "I'll be scared to death."

The four of them agreed to stay tonight without saying a word.

At six o'clock, the manager left immediately.

At [-]:[-], there is only one door left in the library. All the staff leave work, and the flow of people drops sharply. Just go away.

Cen Jin chases after him to see him out.

When we parted, the security guard said to him: "Don't stay here tonight, the manager lied to you when he said that no one died."

Cen Jin frowned: "But I checked the news, the library is a bit weird, but there is no murder case."

Uncle Security: "No major incident happened in the library, but terrible murders happened next to the bronze statue in the square, on the opposite road, and in the depths of the alleys on both sides. A total of 12 people died, all of them were skinned, their arms disappeared, and their eyes disappeared. Gouged out, do you know where the skin, hands and eyes went?"

"do not know."

The security guard gestured: "It was sewn into a huge human skin, filled with straw, all 24 arms were sewn on the back, and placed in various shapes, and the eyeballs were inlaid into the palm, just like a thousand-handed Avalokitesvara. It's so terrifying. During the Chinese New Year, it was placed opposite the bronze statue, and the news was suppressed immediately, and few people knew about it."

The security guard walked tremblingly: "Let's go quickly, this place is very evil, the evil spirit is too strong."

Cen Jin watched the old man leave safely, looked up inadvertently, and found a blood-red moon hanging high above his head, and the blood-colored moonlight fell down, covering all the surrounding buildings with a faint, thin layer of blood mist.

Just one glance makes him extremely flustered, as if there is a huge blood-red eyeball hanging in the sky, and whoever sees it will suffer misfortune.

That terrifying feeling was like cold water being poured on his head, which made Cen Jin feel chills from his feet to his head.

The silver mirror in the hand of the bronze statue in the center of the square absorbs the moonlight and turns into a blood-red ball, making it look strange.

What's even more weird is that it's only eight o'clock in the evening, and the library square in the city center to the road and the shopping mall opposite are all empty and silent.

Only then did Cen Jin realize that the library's problems were more serious than he had imagined.

"In ancient times, evil spirits worshiped the moon to absorb yin energy and cultivate adults, which was a disaster for the common people. Scholar walked at night, the full moon hung high in the sky, and a female ghost met a female ghost on a mountain path, and the female ghost secretly worshiped the moonlight late at night. Looking for food... In Eastern and Western literature, the moon is not only the sustenance of literati and poets to homesick, but also the symbol of the birth of countless horror folk customs. Especially the blood moon, there must be disasters. The ancients believed that the appearance of a blood moon is hell, and terrible disasters will inevitably occur .”

Cen Jin turned his head and saw a girl appearing behind him and talking at some point.

"My name is Huo Xiaoting, majoring in folklore literature. I recently studied horror folklore and found folklore related to the moon. I am very interested in a disease called 'moon phobia'. But I don't believe in weirdness, ghosts and gods. Blood moons are just a natural phenomenon." Phenomenon."

"My name is Cen Jin."

"Hello, I didn't like you at first, but seeing that you sent the old man out just now, it shows that you are a nice person."

Cen Jin smiled, thinking that the girl is really honest.

"The bear man's name is Xiong Bing, and the glasses man's name is Wen Tonghua. They're all good people. Let's go, there's no one there anyway, so close the iron gate first."

Huo Xiaoting's character was completely opposite to her gray dress, she was very familiar, Cen Jin didn't say much, she chattered a lot, revealed a lot of news, let him know that this girl didn't come here for a part-time job, but for a job. The case of the human-skinned Avalokitesvara murder came.

"The murder case is called 'Human Skin Avalokitesvara'?"

"No, the murder case was not disclosed to the outside world, and the news was deleted. Human Skin Guanyin is our private name. Many people pay attention to this murder case. Some people think it is a strange operation. I think it is man-made." Huo Xiaoting helped Cen Jin pull the iron gate, Said: "Strange incidents occur frequently, superstitions are making a comeback, officials do not refute rumors, there are always some people who believe in cults and act radically, and cults are usually linked to blood sacrifices."

"Do you think the Human Skin Avalokitesvara is a cult sacrifice?"

"Don't you think it looks like it?"

Pulling the iron gate, Cen Jin looked at the square outside. The street lights were not very bright, covered by the bloody moonlight, and everything was covered with a layer of veil.

And Huo Xiaoting had already gone upstairs, "Let's go, let's go to the second floor."

Before Cen Jin left, he walked around the blood-red square again, his gaze skipped over the bronze statue, and landed on the billboard of the shopping mall across the road, covered by a faint layer of blood-red tulle, a figure suddenly appeared, standing at the entrance of the shopping mall.

Too far away to see clearly.

Cen Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he narrowed his eyes and stared carefully at the motionless figure. The shadow was backlit and he couldn't see clearly. He was more than three meters tall, and there seemed to be something like a branch behind him, which reminded him of spider feet.

The figure was originally facing him sideways, but suddenly turned his head to look this way, Cen Jin was startled, and hurriedly hid in the shadow.

Suddenly there was a loud noise and a sharp scream from upstairs, obviously not a male voice.

Huo Xiaoting urged: "There seems to be an accident upstairs, Cen Jin, come up quickly."

It wasn't Huo Xiaoting who screamed from the woman. Is there anyone else in the library?

Cen Jin looked back at the entrance of the shopping mall opposite, and the figure disappeared!
