The Grim Reaper Can't Be Tricked

The white coat raised his fist high and smashed it down heavily.

Boom—the sound was like thunder, and half of the cabinet door was shattered. A big hand covered with scarlet muscles reached in, grabbed Cen Jin's collar and grabbed it, and with a sharp breath, he flung it out forcefully.

Cen Jin was powerless to resist, and was thrown out, like a dried salted fish, slamming down on the front desk. As soon as his back touched the stainless steel plate of the front desk, the sharp pain was transmitted to the brain along the nerves, and the salted fish immediately stiffened and turned over Jumped off the front desk and ran fast.

The three white coats couldn't react, and they were all stunned. After regaining consciousness, their inexplicable anger made them roar, and the roar resounded throughout the third floor.

Soon, a sound similar to an air defense siren sounded, and the whole old building was filled with the sound of "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" In the human world, great terror descends from the sky, and panic and fright arise from the heart.

Cen Jin heard the sound of orderly footsteps upstairs, as well as the clang of the elevator going up and down, and the iron gate being pulled, as if a large army was rushing towards him.

The front, back, left, and right roads were all blocked, leaving only rooms with iron doors wide open, but all the rooms were unoccupied and unlocked, and it was clear at a glance which room was suddenly closed.

The white coats behind caught up, and at the corner ahead, I also saw two menacing white coats, as well as white coats rushing from the other three doors. Slam and lock the nearest iron gate.

Then he jumped onto the bed board in twos and threes, reaching out his hand just to reach the window, Cen Jin grabbed the umbrella and smashed the window glass, the reddish moonlight suddenly became thicker.

Boom-!

The white coat was banging on the door, the iron door was trembling from the impact, and the lock was crumbling. Cen Jin withdrew his gaze, climbed up the window sill with both hands and sent himself up. The ball-like eyeballs rolled around and fixed on Cen Jin.

"Roar--!!"

With the sudden explosion of the roar, he punched through the iron gate with a thickness of five centimeters!

Cen Jin's pupils constricted, and he quickly adjusted his posture, while the white coat stared at him without blinking, deliberately slowed down his movements, held the lock in front of him, and pulled it away, the ear-piercing sound amplified, torturing his tense nerves .

boom!

The iron door was kicked open, a white coat broke in, and the narrow room quickly became narrow.

Cen Jin squatted on the window sill, put his hands on the protruding eaves of the window sill, looked down at the white coat, looked at them openly, and memorized all their appearances, then raised his hands in a gesture of goodbye, and leaned back Tilting, falling suddenly like a bird.

Seeing this, the white coat was frightened and angry, and ran over, but only caught the dust that swung over when a red umbrella was opened, and Cen Jin, who was holding the red umbrella, just ran away from them.

"Roar!!!"

The white coats were extremely angry, but they couldn't leave the old building, and they kept urging them to return to their posts to complete the work of transporting and placing the experimental subjects. They had no choice but to turn around and leave, but they had already firmly remembered Cen Jin's face.

**

At the same time, the third floor of Li's old building in the real world.

Huang Jiang and Yu Wen stood shoulder to shoulder, behind the four working members of the temporary investigation team of the extra-staff special department of Xinhai City, and opposite them were mercenaries lined up in a row.

The mercenary leader was sitting on the sofa, talking to the head of the temporary investigation team of Xin Haicheng's non-staff special department.

The team leader happens to be an old ghost that Huang and Yu are familiar with, and even the other three are members of the ghost car team. The four were originally stationed in Xinhai City.

After the end, he returned to Xinhaicheng to continue his work.

In addition to his status as a member of the ghost car team, the old ghost is also the leader of the investigation team of the non-staff special department of Xinhai City.The woman lying crookedly next to him is Ye Shengying, the leader of the special attack team of the special department of Xinhai City, and one of the members of this temporary investigation team.

The mercenary leader poured the boiled water into the teacup, brewed amber-like tea, and invited the old ghost and others to drink it together.

Ye Shengying was not in the mood, her eyelids drooped, and she looked like she was about to fall asleep.The little demon wore a mask, fiddled with the Walkman, and never looked up at the mercenary from the beginning to the end.Old Xiong scratched his hair, expressing early on that he had no interest in sipping tea, and that it would be acceptable to put it in a larger bowl of tea.

Huang Jiang and Yu Wen waved their hands and said that it would be good for them to drink mineral water.

Hearing that the leader of the mercenary who always likes to be arty, his face suddenly darkened, because in order to entertain, to be precise, he took out the top-level tea cakes he had collected by pretending to deter the ignorant note, and squeezed it with a feeling of heartache. It’s okay to lose a small piece of cooking, but no one appreciates it, but you still want a sea bowl of beef drink, I don’t know what it means!

His teammates were not strong enough, so the old ghost laughed. After drinking the tea, he praised his face: "The tea has a mellow aroma, a sweet aftertaste, and a lingering aftertaste. Good tea."

The mercenary leader twitched the corners of his mouth, and said with a half smile: "Drink a few more glasses, our hospitality is not good, please forgive me."

"How shameless you want us to forgive you when you know the hospitality is not good?" Ye Shengying muttered.

Huang Jiang and the others giggled, and the mercenary's face darkened instantly.

The mercenary leader said with a gloomy face: "You want to investigate the old building and the murder case. We ordinary people have no way to resist, but in the end we are not the owner of the old building, so we have to ask Mr. Li for instructions. Only after Mr. Li agrees can we let you go." Open to investigate. But I have worked in the old building for two years and know a lot of things. For example, someone called the police saying that the old building carelessly ignored human life. This is of course slander.

Mr. Li hired us to guard this old building to protect the residents here.

You also know that all members of the Li family have suffered from strange diseases without exception. Some people have fallen ill one after another, and many people have died.Mr. Li was heartbroken and couldn't sleep at night. He spent huge sums of money to hire us to guard the old building day and night and protect the members of the Li clan. How could it be possible to ignore human lives? "

Putting down his teacup, the mercenary leader looked around at the old ghost and said, "Mr. Li Zhenzhong is a famous philanthropist in Sihai Grotto, is there anyone who doesn't know?"

The old ghost said slowly: "I know. At the same time, I know that there have been homicides in the downtown library built by Mr. Li Zhenzhong for more than ten consecutive years, and twelve people died—"

"There are 13 people." Ye Shengying added: "Another person died last night, a high school student. He was insane."

"Yes, 13 people died in the library. There are also dozens of orphanages he privately built, and children disappear every year. Homeless people always disappear in his real estate projects. Teenage adults missing."

Mercenary leader: "It's just an accident."

Old ghost: "We only have reasonable doubts."

The deputy leader of the mercenary had a hot temper, and he had already held back his anger. Now he couldn't help but wanted to vent, but was stopped by the leader of the mercenary.Just at this time, two patrolling mercenaries came back to report safety, Ye Shengying glanced at them, and suddenly fixed his gaze on the two of them.

Ye Shengying said: "The two of you are going to patrol upstairs or downstairs?"

The two mercenaries looked at the leader subconsciously, and after receiving the nodding instructions, they replied: "Downstairs."

Ye Shengying: "The second floor?"

The two mercenaries nodded.

Ye Shengying smiled but said, "I suggest you put some grapefruit leaves at the entrance of the elevator to avoid filth and exorcism, so as not to bring any dirty things back."

The two mercenaries thought that Ye Shengying laughed at them for being dirty, so they couldn't help but glared: "You!"

The face of the mercenary leader was completely gloomy. He got up and said that he had entered the office to wait for Mr. Li Zhenzhong's reply. The deputy leader followed up and said, "Send them to the sixth floor now."

The ringleader said: "Keep out of the way, don't cause trouble. However, I suspect that they are not ordinary police."

Deputy leader: "This group of people is a bit gangster-like, unlike the regular army. I heard that all countries have set up secret departments to deal with special and weird incidents. A professionally trained unit...would they be?"

"If it is, let's not offend." The leader was upset, the blood moon tonight made him uneasy, and the arrival of the investigation team and others gave him a kind of calm before the storm.

He suddenly said, "Is the weather a little hot tonight?"

Deputy leader: "It's summer, and the temperature has continued to rise recently."

"Really? I feel very stuffy." The leader muttered to himself, pulling his collar and scratching his neck vigorously, thinking why his skin felt a little itchy?Is it because of mosquitoes?

The weather is sultry and there are many mosquitoes, but it may indeed be mosquito bites.

The leader forgot that the [-]-meter radius was full of white lime, and there were no mosquitoes at all.

"By the way, I remember seeing on the surveillance that there were eight people when this group of cops came. Why are there only six now?"

The deputy leader was stunned and asked, "Eight? Isn't it always six?"

The leader frowned when he heard this: "I can't remember wrongly, there were always eight people. When they appeared at the gate, the surveillance head and infrared thermal imaging equipment clearly showed that there were eight people...you only saw six people?"

When the investigation team came to the door, the leader was in the monitoring room, and the deputy leader greeted him personally, so that the former thought that the other two were guarding somewhere else, while the latter thought that there were only six people from the beginning to the end.

The leader's face changed drastically: "Oops. They sneaked into the old building to investigate secretly, no wonder the people outside are so calm! You lead people to search along the floors one by one, and you must find the intruders. Kill."

Deputy leader: "Understood!"

The deputy leader hurried out, led the six people to take the elevator, and at the same time notified the six people at the middle and back door to join the mission of killing outsiders.

Seeing this situation, Huang Jiang and Yu Wen were unavoidably worried about their senior brother's safety, so they asked Ye Shengying.

Ye Shengying's face was a little dignified, and after replying to a text message, she said: "They are fine, we are the ones with problems."

Yu Wen was taken aback: "What do you mean?"

As soon as the words fell, the muzzle of Wu Yangyang pointed coldly at the back of their heads, and the mercenary leader came out, pressing his neck and saying, "Sorry, two mice slipped into the old building. We are going to clean it up, and it may It scares you, so please go into the back room and avoid it. How about coming out after Mr. Li's reply?"

Ye Shengying tilted her head, her eyes were cold: "Possession of firearms is a felony, and the crime of assaulting the police is aggravated."

The boss is impatient: "Please cooperate."

Huang Jiang and Yu Wen were still students, a little impatient, and they were restrained by the old ghost and others as soon as they wanted to move. On the other hand, the old ghost and the others had a calm demeanor, and the little demon was still playing the Walkman with a gun on his head.

Old Xiong grinned: "Boss Ye didn't move, we don't care."

Huang Jiang and Yu Wen looked at each other and looked at Ye Shengying.

Ye Shengying got up: "Cooperate with others, everyone go into the house and sleep."

The old bear cheered and couldn't wait to push Huang Jiang and Yu Wen into the house. The old ghost took Xiao Yao's Walkman and took him in.

Ye Shengying fell behind, walking slowly, and suddenly stopped when passing by the boss, looked at him sideways for a long time before saying, "Your neck must be itchy."

Before the boss could reply, Ye Shengying continued to walk forward, saying as she walked, "It must be very itchy, the skin is scratched off, doesn't it hurt?"

The leader's pupils constricted, and he stretched out his hand. He saw pieces of broken skin and glaring blood on his fingertips. He hurriedly searched for something like a mirror. Sure enough, he saw blood dripping from his neck to his chin, and a large piece of skin was scratched off at some point. , exposing the red, squirming flesh and blood inside.

And he felt no pain, only itching.

It seems that there are many small bugs and ants in the skin sac, and when he scratches the blood and tears off the skin, the group of cunning dirt has moved to the intact skin underneath, hiding the terrible itching , so that he couldn't help tearing down and scratching, and even wanted to just tear off the whole human skin.

The subordinate beside him reminded with some panic: "Boss, why don't you ask the doctor on the sixth floor and ask them to prescribe some anti-itch medicine for you?"

The boss turned his head and stared at him gloomyly, and smiled coldly for a while: "Do you think you are better than me?"

What's the meaning?The subordinate was confused, turned his head to look at his colleague who was wearing a gas mask and a camouflage uniform without showing his skin, and questioned him.

Colleague shrugged: "Maybe those monsters have germs on them. The boss is infected and has a skin disease. I don't think it's necessary to see a doctor. It looks serious. You don't feel any pain at all. It just looks like it hurts." , even without skin, humans can still live.”

How can a person live without skin?

Not a tree.

After listening to the mercenary in a daze, he was puzzled and wanted to ask more questions, but his colleagues and boss didn't have the patience to answer him, so they turned around and left.

The moment the colleague turned around and turned his head, he scratched the back of his neck. The mercenary clearly saw a rough scarlet on the back of his neck, which looked a bit like a peeled tree trunk, but with human muscle texture.

It's as if the colleague's skin is gone.

The mercenary gasped, frightened by his own imagination, and when he realized it, he couldn't help laughing at his brain opening, probably because he had stayed in this weird old building for too long, and even his imagination was much richer than before.

How could there be no skin?How can a person live without skin?Is a person alive without skin still a person?

The mercenary stepped behind his colleague, suddenly felt a little itchy on his back, subconsciously scratched it, and the camouflage uniform was torn off, revealing his rough, scarlet neck.

***

Ye Shengying leaned against the door and listened for a while, then turned around and said, "There are three guards outside."

Huang Jiang: "Everyone else is looking for the two senior brothers, so let's rush out now. I just released the ghost-eating Gu to test it, it likes the third floor very much, and there seems to be food it likes in those closed rooms. Upstairs, it felt irritable, probably because there was some kind of existence with a strong sense of threat downstairs. Then it climbed to the fourth floor, feeling more irritable, and staying upstairs for too long."

There was a hint of confusion in her eyes: "There seems to be something inexplicable on the fourth floor, which I can't describe. Then on the fifth floor, it lingered outside the wall for a while, but didn't dare to go in, and then went to the sixth floor, but didn't dare to go in. I ran away when I was on the seventh floor, and never dared to go out after I came back."

Old Ghost: "I've heard of the reputation of the Ghost Gu Clan's ghost-eating Gu, and it's especially sensitive to weirdness, which can make it feel deeply frightened and run away in fright. It can't even climb up the seventh floor. I'm sure there's a high-risk weird monster upstairs. .”

Old Xiong: "The 42-handed Avalokitesvara statue?"

Old ghost: "The hazard level of this old building is enough to be classified as a second-level restricted area. In the restricted area, apart from high-risk weirdness, there are countless polluted weirdnesses. I can feel that there are countless weirdnesses in this building. There is no agency monitoring, Prevention and control, with more than ten years of growth and development time, it is estimated to be a large and strange nest."

Old Xiong: "In this case, contact the department, ask for reinforcements, and quickly take over Li's old building."

Ye Shengying rubbed her fingers and said: "You can't force your way in. I haven't fully understood the weirdness in the old building, and the old building is in a densely populated area. Once the fire is fired, the strangeness will be angered, and mental pollution will erupt, which will affect ordinary people. Handling jobs is cumbersome.

Tonight's blood moon, I feel that the whole old building is restless, so I have to be careful and careful.

You can't stimulate the group of mercenaries. They have problems. If you accidentally remind them or expose them to the blood moon, it may stimulate them to go crazy. "

Yu Wen: "The group of mercenaries have evil intentions. There is indeed a problem in this regard, but how could the blood moon stimulate them?"

Before coming to the old building, they read the detailed files, including the blood moon stimulating the female corpse of the bronze statue, and the habit of the demon worshiping the moon and the happy moon, so they knew that the 42-handed Avalokitesvara statue might be a demon, and it was polluted by it. Less sensitive to blood moon manifestations.

Huang Jiang observed the subtle expressions on the faces of the seniors, pondered for a moment and said, "Those mercenaries have been polluted and turned into foreign bodies?"

Ye Shengying took the palm: "The ability to pollute human beings into foreign objects is usually a world-killing and weird ability. It is the right of gods to change species, create new forms of life, and control life and death."

Yu Wen looked at Huang Jiang: "In other words, you guessed wrong."

Huang Jiang hesitated for a moment, and said firmly: "I don't know the specific reason, but I'm sure that group of mercenaries are definitely polluted. I saw two mercenaries who came back from patrol...a shadow!"

Ye Shengying was interested: "Expand. Your report comments need me to evaluate and polish, so express yourself a lot. Whether you can get a high score in the weekly test depends on your performance. At present, Huang Jiang is doing very well, with subtle observation and keen intuition. This is the summary It's a bit messy. This aspect is about summarizing and expressing logical thinking. You need to strengthen training.

Yu Wen, you are too slow.

Although you are a special attack major, you go to the front line and just shoot and shoot, but I am also a special attack major, and I can still work as an investigator. Why should I be in the ghost car team, and why should I be the leader of the city's special attack team?

Yu Wen, tell me why. "

Yu Wen: "You are the queen, you shine with confidence?"

"Incisive." Ye Shengying couldn't help but praise, and then he pretended to be serious and blamed: "It depends on the occasion to flatter. Of course it's because I am strong in business, capable of working in the special attack team, and can also start investigating positions in minutes. The command is to conduct unannounced investigations, to trace the root cause, and to know the root and the bottom to fight flexibly.

Don't think that you don't need to learn data analysis to fight on the front line. Modern warfare requires intelligent talents in all aspects. People like Lao Xiong are just born in the right era, otherwise they would have been eliminated long ago. "

Yu Wen was taught and thoughtful.

Ye Shengying asked Huang Jiang to continue to express his opinion, "Analyze the shadow of the mercenary."

Huang Jiang straightened her back subconsciously, and said sternly: "The weird shadow follows the mercenary. Its characteristics are a bit like demon possession, but it can't get into the human body. The size can change at will, and the sticking point is different from ordinary shadows. It is the toes and the floor joints, but the head."

She gestured at the neck and said: "The joint is the head, but those shadows will be disguised as real shadows according to the shadow of human beings and the angle of the light, and their whereabouts will not be revealed until the light can't hide them. But there are very few people in general. Notice shadows unless staring at them all the time.

I felt strange at the time that under the same light angle, I only had one shadow, but they had two.

And I found that the shadow on one of the mercenaries has been struggling, trying to climb onto Yu Wen. "

Yu Wen was shocked, and turned around to look at his own shadow in fright.

"Hastily, I'm gone! Why didn't you tell me, Huang Jiang?"

Huang Jiang had a cold face and didn't want to answer.

I don't even look at his reaction, how exciting it is to jump up in front of the mercenaries.

"However, not everyone is possessed by shadows. I have noticed that people who are not possessed by shadows always scratch their itch in a very short period of time. Masks, everyone else is tightly covered, but there is no air conditioning in the building, and it is sweltering in June, they don’t sweat, they don’t feel hot, they just keep scratching, which is not how humans behave in this environment.”

"In addition, those who were possessed by shadows seemed to have been to the second floor. Those who were not possessed had only been to the sixth and seventh floors."

Huang Jiang's final statement concluded: "I call these weird shadows 'ghosts'."
