"Isn't this not right?" Guo Yujie asked, "Is it like this here?"

"No." Wu Ling said while calling Nangong Yao. There was no speakerphone this time. I only heard Wu Ling ask some questions, and then responded to Nangong Yao on the other end of the phone with "Yeah, yeah."

After a while, Wu Ling said to us: "We didn't call the police. Everything should be normal here."

Everything should be normal, but the sight of this ghost town is obviously not normal.

I didn't see the Yin Qi, nor did I see the monster. Wu Ling and Liu Miao didn't find it either.

Wu Ling still turned on his mobile phone, but switched from Tonghua mode to video to show Nangong Yao and Gu Mo the situation here. The abilities of the two can play a big role at this time.

I watched Han Yun.

The kid changed his face to a serious one and was observing his surroundings carefully.

"No."

"did not hear."

Nangong Yao and Gu Mo on the video call made conclusions at the same time.

No strange noises were heard, no strange things were seen.

But if the person is gone, he may have been killed, captured in a different dimension, or he may have turned into a toy, squatting motionless at home.

We got out of the car and walked along the street.

There are several grocery stores and auto repair shops on the road into the town. Wu Ling casually chose the grocery store on the left, opened the door and went in.

There is a bell hanging at the door. Because Wu Ling pushed the door open, the bell rang.

There was no one in the store. After the bell rang, no one heard any movement.

Wu Ling wiped the counter. No dust collecting on the counter. Even if something unexpected happens here and it becomes deserted, it won't be long.

There was no one in the grocery store, so the lights were certainly not on.

Liu Miao brought a flashlight and turned it on, illuminating the scene in the grocery store.

The shelves are well stocked. The freezer was still open and the drinks inside were still ice cold. This once again proves that the owner here has not disappeared for too long.

"This way." Wu Ling first discovered a door inside the grocery store.

The door is unlocked and opens when pushed. There is a corridor inside, with some goods piled up, but the corridor is not full.

Squeezing through the gap in the corridor, you can see two other doors.

One door connects to the small warehouse and the other connects to the shopkeeper's house.

Living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, all available.

Wu Ling picked up the wedding photos and children's photos hanging on the living room wall and showed them to us.

There is a family of four living here, but a pair of children seem to have grown up and no longer live here.

"Here go to the second floor." Liu Miao greeted us.

The staircase is hidden in the kitchen.

The layout of this house is really not comfortable.

Going upstairs from the kitchen, you can see the other two bedrooms. These two bedrooms look like the children's bedrooms. Compared with downstairs, there is a lot more dust here. Many things seem to have been left there for a long time, and no one has lived here for a long time.

The previous inference is still valid. The two children in this family probably no longer live here.

Liu Miao picked up a dinosaur toy on the desk.

The dinosaur toy is the size of an adult's palm. It is made of plastic and cannot move. It is just a decoration.

"It's probably not infected." Liu Miao put down the toy.

Couples who still live in the family are less likely to be exposed to these toys for a long time and are therefore less likely to be infected.

"It's also possible that the infection route has changed." Wu Ling said, turning around and preparing to go downstairs.

There are really no clues here.

We found two more stores to check out, and the situation was roughly the same.

"It seems like he left suddenly, but it doesn't look like it." Wu Ling analyzed while walking on the road.

"Hmm. Maybe the accident happened not during meal time but during working time?" Liu Miao said.

What the two said was what we discovered along the way.

There are no traces of life suddenly interrupted in the shop, which is normal. But we broke into two empty houses, and we didn't see the kind of situation in horror movies or doomsday movies where food is placed on the table and certain content is played on the TV and computer screens.

The people in this small town seemed to have stopped what they were doing in preparation, packed some things, and then left the houses and the town. They were not planning to travel far, so they did not pack their luggage, nor did they turn off the electricity and water gates.

"It's also possible that they didn't disappear at the same time." Wu Ling raised another possibility.

In any case, we cannot rest peacefully in such a place.

"Go directly to Morris Town." Wu Ling made the decision.

No one objected.

We got back in the car and drove on the main road of the town.

Dong dong dong...

The knocking sound made our heads turn at the same time. Liu Miao, who was driving, stepped on the brakes.

In a single-family house just down the street, there was a figure in the attic window. The man knocked on the window glass and seemed to be shouting something. But his figure was quickly dragged into the house, away from the glass window, and disappeared from our sight.

"What is that? Is it a human?" Guo Yujie asked.

Silly question.

I looked at Guo Yujie's stunned expression and somewhat understood her thoughts.

Suddenly encountering such a scene in a ghost town-like town is somewhat reminiscent of the contents of some horror movies.

My first reaction was not that someone was asking for help, but that it was a trap.

We didn't see anyone the whole way, but we just happened to meet a survivor, and he asked us for help in this way?

I glanced at Han Yun, who was still sitting on Guo Yujie's lap.

Han Yun curled his lips disdainfully, "Hurry up and go to Morris."

Liu Miao didn't drive and frowned at the house.

"Aren't you? This must be a trap to deceive us." Han Yun mocked, "Even if it is true, the root of the problem here is still that ghost. As long as we solve it, everything else can be solved slowly."

To capture the thief, capture the king first.

What Han Yun said is right.

Liu Miao still hesitated.

I remembered Liu Miao’s experience. Liu Miao's close relative died in a supernatural incident, so he must have some stubborn ideas about saving people.

Wu Ling opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

"Whoa whoa whoa!"

A child's cry suddenly sounded.

The cry also came from that house.

The door of the house was opened, and a child who looked to be only three or four years old was hanging on the door handle. After struggling to open the door, he hurriedly tried to run out. He was still crying loudly and fell down the steps at the door.

I saw a shadow out of the corner of my eye.

Han Yun threw himself at the window, as if he wanted to rush out.

My heart skipped a beat.

The child lay on the ground crying for a while and then wanted to get up.

Something shot out of the house and grabbed the child's body.

It was an extremely huge hand, and it didn't look like a human hand. The skin is dark green, and each finger is more than one meter long.

The monster's hand grabbed the child and jerked it back.

Bang!

The door is also closed.

Han Yun gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and stared at the house.

"Is this the kid you know?" Wu Ling asked.

Han Yun shook his head hard.

"In this case……"

"Woof woof!"

I looked up at the house.

Next to the house sat a large white dog. The big dog looked at me, stood up and picked up a teddy bear in front of him. He glanced at me when he turned around, and then turned to the back of the house.

My eyelids jumped.

"This seems to be a trap for you." Wu Ling said.
