Chapter 118 - Green Lantern

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

Another miserable howl came from behind him, echoing in the corridor.

Turning his head, he saw another male cadaver raised its head and screamed. Its body seemed to have twitched intensely along with it.

Zhao Qi and I looked at each other, our eyes filled with fear.

Every few minutes, there would be a corpse screaming on its back … This could no longer be explained with common sense.

Zhao Qi swallowed his saliva, and said softly: "Xu Huo, don't you feel that they seem to be waiting for punishment?"

"Sentenced?" I jolted.

For some reason, he suddenly thought of that old photo.

The corpses were kneeling with their hands clasped behind their backs, exactly like the three people I'd seen in the photos later.

The three people in the photo had lost their heads. The corpses in front of them … It didn't seem like she was waiting for an execution.

No, the corpses that were screaming now had a red circle on their necks …

I couldn't help but shiver. "A fine cut is a cut to the neck …" Someone is cutting off their heads! "

"Beheaded?" Zhao Qi also shivered, "But their heads are still there?"

'Maybe it's not the head that was beheaded. I said in my mind, feeling more and more strange.

I told Zhao Qi to be careful, and not bother about the things behind him anymore.

Zhao Qi nodded, and after hesitating for a moment, said that from his point of view, the problem very likely lay with the three missing corpses.

I could only be silent.

The bodies were too similar to the photographs, but what did that picture mean?

Why did that man leave me the photo and the key?

The two of them walked past the gap between the corpses with great difficulty, and during that time, they heard a few blood-curdling screams.

Arriving at the morgue, he was once again frightened by what he saw inside.

Seven or eight stretchers were completely empty. Dozens of huge freezers that were storing the bodies were overturned, as if they had been violently pulled out by someone.

"There's nothing here. What do we do now?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Let's go to the cremation room and take a look."

As soon as I said this, he grabbed me and pulled me to the back of a car, where he pursed his lips in the direction of the door.

I stole a glance and saw a seven or eight-year-old boy slowly walking in.

Zhao Qi heaved a sigh of relief, and asked with his eyes: "Why would there be children?"

I whispered, "His feet aren't touching the ground. He's a ghost."

Zhao Qi shuddered, and in the blink of an eye, he and I looked at the little demon.

After the little ghost floated into the room, he directly walked in front of an ice chest and stretched out his hands to pull one of the ice cubes.

The ice shelves that held the corpses were all two meters long and seventy to eighty centimeters tall. Moreover, they were made of stainless steel. Although there were sliding tracks on them, the weight was not something that a little kid could pull apart.

This is the first time Zhao Qi has truly seen a ghost.

I'm even more conflicted than he is …

When I first saw the little ghost, I thought that it was a little kid that was being raised. But now, it seems that it is just an ordinary little ghost with no resentment or ghost energy at all.

What was he trying to do?

The little devil tried his best to pull himself out of the ice, but was unable to do so. He was actually so anxious that he began to cry.

Seeing this scene, I felt both weird and uncontrollable. I felt my heart ache for this little demon.

Zhao Qi said in a low voice: "Hurry up and go overboard with this child, I can't watch any longer."

I thought about it and shook my head. I took the ash from the bottom of the pot out of my bag and let him wipe it on my forehead.

I held my breath, stood up, tiptoed over, reached for the ice sheet's handle, and pulled.

The ice panel made a rough sound as it was torn open.

The little ghost smiled through his tears, wiped his eyes, and jumped in.

Just as I was about to retreat to Zhao Qi's side, I heard the sound of "ga ga ga ga ga" from the ice ground, like the sound of ice shattering.

A moment later, the child crawled out.

Zhao Qi subconsciously covered his mouth, his eyes filled with fear at the scene before his.

I was also shocked.

The one crawling out of the ice field was no longer the little devil, but a frozen corpse with incomplete parts!

The corpse crawled out of the hanging ice lattice and fell onto the ground with a "pa" sound. It crawled up stiffly and walked towards the door with stiff steps.

"This child... What does he want? " Zhao Qi wiped off his cold sweat.

I shook my head. "I don't know, but this kid should be different from the ghost that moved the body."

Zhao Qi asked in a low voice: "Where's it different? Didn't you not see those ghosts that were carrying the corpse? "

All I can say is, "Instinct."

"Why didn't you directly transcend this child?"

"If I want to find out the truth, I might need to rely on this kid." I waved my hand. "Follow him."

Initially, I wanted to borrow the Yin Eye's power to search for clues. However, along the way, I discovered that every time the corpse screams out, there would be a single electric shock coming from my chest.

When they entered the morgue, the reaction disappeared.

Although this little ghost's clumsy actions caused people's hearts to ache, they could only use him for a bit.

The child's corpse stood on its tiptoes as it stiffly walked forward. It seemed to be struggling very hard.

Zhao Qi and I quietly followed behind him, returning back to the corridor that we came from.

The child walked to the last kneeling corpse, but did not stop. He squeezed through the corpses with difficulty, walked inside, and kneeled between the male and female pair.

Then he separated himself from his body and stood in front of the man and woman. He watched them wipe their eyes and began to slowly walk back.

Zhao Qi and I have already smeared the ash on the bottom of the wok, so this brat shouldn't be able to see us.

He walked past us and headed in the other direction.

Zhao Qi wanted to speak, but I covered his mouth.

When the kid was a little further away, I said in a low voice,

"Ordinary brats are very weak. If they get close enough, a single gust of yang energy from you could cause their souls to dissipate."

The little ghost walked forward and actually arrived at the crematorium.

I grabbed Zhao Qi and stood at the door to watch his next move.

Who would have thought that the little devil would walk straight towards a crematorium and slip through the opening!

When Zhao Qi and I reached the front, we saw the charred furnace …

The little devil was gone!

"Where is he?" Zhao Qi asked in shock.

I pursed my lips, looked around, stepped aside, and opened the lock.

After the staff had finished their work, the master lock of the crematorium had been pulled down.

Returning to the front of the crematorium, without waiting for me to speak, Zhao Qi glared at me and said, "You can't be thinking of sneaking into the crematorium, right?"

I smiled, "As expected of the Chief Criminal Police Officer, your senses are very sharp."

"No!" This is too dangerous, I won't allow you to enter! " Zhao Qi pulled me back.

"Do you want to know the truth?" "No," I said.

Zhao Qi was startled, and then grabbed onto me even more tightly, "This furnace is only this big, to be able to look at it all at one glance, do you really need to go in?"

I had originally wanted to say that Shen Qing and I had gone to a place that we didn't know about at the Old Tower's roof.

But when she thought about his feelings for Xiao Jing, she changed her words:

"That man is my father. Although he didn't raise me, I can't let him die without any remains. No matter what, I have to go in and take a look."

Zhao Qi hardened his heart and dragged me, pointing at my nose as he loudly shouted:

"I can understand your personal feelings, but as a brother I would never let you in. You know this isn't fucking normal! So what if the electric brake is pulled? If the electricity goes on accidentally, you will be crushed to pieces and then burnt to ashes by the diesel oil! "In short, I forbid you to take any risks!"

"Let go!"

"I'm not letting go!" Zhao Qi said with a cold face, "Don't force me to make a move."

"Why don't you try?" A surge of uncontrollable emotion surged in my heart, making me irritable and furious.

I didn't tell Zhao Qi that I wanted to go into the crematorium because I remembered Old Lou's experience.

I am only worried that he might use too much love for Xiao Jing, afraid that I would mislead him, afraid that he would do something stupid in the future.

But when I said that, I realized it was my real idea.

That man and that woman didn't have me. Maybe the reason they left seemed absurd to me, but the truth couldn't be changed. They were my parents.

I can hate them or not, but I can't let Xu Ronghua die without leaving even his ashes behind!

"Xu Huo, you …"

Zhao Qi clenched his fist, as if he wanted to hit me until I fainted. But just when I wanted to make the first move, he suddenly revealed a terrified expression, and loosened his grip on my hand.

Stunned, I turned around and tried to drill into the furnace.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed my wrist again.

At the same moment, I felt a sudden sense of absent-mindedness.

After a moment of trance, he opened his eyes and discovered that his surroundings were pitch black. What he saw was a large blurry forest.

"Holy sh * t!"

Hearing the voice that suddenly sounded in my ears, I instinctively took two steps away.

Turning around, I saw Zhao Qi staring at me with a face full of suspicion.

"Where is this?" Zhao Qi asked.

"Did I get into the crematorium?" I asked.

Zhao Qi shook his head, his eyes revealing a hint of blankness, as he muttered:

"I should have caught you, I should have … "But why would I come here …"

He suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at me, gritting his teeth as he said, "You brat, when you get angry, how do you look like a ghost?"

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You glared at me just now, and I was shocked by you. Your look is too scary …" "I realized that I wanted to catch you when you drilled into the furnace, but the sight before me turned dark and I've come here the f * cking hell!"

Stunned, I gave him two fingers.

Zhao Qi laughed bitterly: "Or did you hide into the corpse incinerator?"

I shook my head. "No, you're the second person who said I looked like a ghost."

"Shh!" Zhao Qi's expression suddenly became serious, and he shot me a look.

I looked in the direction where his eyes were slanted and saw a green lantern flying up and down towards the depths of the forest!

"Follow him!" I didn't have time to think about anything else as I quickly ran towards the green lantern.

"What is that?" "What is this place?" Zhao Qi asked beside me.

"Red fire in the sun and green fire in the dark. If no one has formed a formation, then this place is the Underworld!"
