Mysterious recovery

"You don't need to thank me, I just did what I should do." Yang Jian said.

Li Jun nodded to Yang Jian, expressing his affirmation.

Yang Jian felt that the four captains teamed up now, naturally they had to contribute, and they couldn't just think about paddling and hide behind.

Then he looked at Shen Lin.

If he had the chance, he would look forward to this guy's ability to fight against ghosts.

The crisis on the boat has been temporarily lifted, but this does not mean that the rest will be safe.

Because the water surface became more and more turbid, bubbling bubbles popped up, and the abnormality became more and more serious.

Finally, not far from the boat, a corpse actually floated up from the water. The long black hair floating in the water was wrapped around the corpse. There was no doubt that it was a female corpse.

Even if the female corpse was soaked, it did not rot or swell.

"Gurgling!"

More than one place.

On the surface of the water behind him, another female corpse floated up. The female corpse had short hair, but her face was facing upwards, as if she was sleeping on the surface of the water. Although her face was terribly pale, her lips were extremely bright red, as if she had just painted it on. Like lipstick.

However, a corpse soaked in this water, how could it be possible to apply lipstick on itself.

After the second female corpse surfaced, the third, fourth... more and more female corpses began to appear on the water.

The female corpse that was close was even within easy reach, and could be grasped by reaching out.

The ghost candle on the stern was still burning.

"All the underwater corpses have come back to life." Liu San said in a serious tone at the moment.

Li Jun heard the words, apart from anything else, the will-o'-the-wisp ignited the surroundings, and the muddy lake was illuminated again.

This lighting, the scene makes people feel palpitations.

Under the water, the corpses that sank under the ghost lake all floated up. These corpses were like living people, undulating in the water, as if they were walking with their eyes closed.

More than that.

The surface of the lake was also gradually covered by floating corpses, and it was getting denser and denser, as if it was going to fill up the entire lake surface.

It is hard to imagine how many people were buried in this small ghost lake.

"Damn it." Li Jun was so angry that the will-o'-the-wisp couldn't help but burn on his body.

"Don't close your eyes, our feet are already soaked in the water of the ghost lake, if we close our eyes, we will fall into the ghost lake." Yang Jian reminded.

There was a lot of water in the cabin, which reached everyone's ankles.

Although there is not much water.

But such a little stagnant water has already satisfied the first murder condition of Ghost Lake.

The supernatural boat can carry people and guarantee it will not sink on the lake, but it has no ability to stop ghosts from killing people.

This can be proved from the fact that Ah Hong was attacked just now.

The first thousand and sixty-nine chapters of the hotel

At the same time, within Ping An Ancient Town.

This is the new urban area of ​​the ancient town, which belongs to the tourist area invested and built by Zhongzhou City later.

Feng Quan was left alone in this new city, and Yang Jian told him not to set foot in the old city, because he was worried that there were some weird things in the old city, so as not to encounter unpredictable dangers.

He also sensed that something was wrong in the old town.

So he did not object to Yang Jian's suggestion.

"Everyone's signal has disappeared." Feng Quan found a special hotel to stay in, and he noticed the change of several people's signal through satellite positioning mobile phone.

just before.

Everyone's signal disappeared, including Yang Jian's personal cell phone.

He stood by the window and watched.

The direction of the old town of Taiping Ancient Town is dark and gloomy.

Although there are also street lights, the street lights there seem to be particularly dark, as if the lamp tubes are aging and the power supply is insufficient, and there is no way to illuminate the entire street like here, and this situation is particularly obvious after nightfall.

But ordinary people will certainly not notice this change.

"There is indeed danger over there." Feng Quan thought to himself.

Yet at this moment.

suddenly.

He heard some movement from the corridor outside the door. It was the sound of someone dragging some heavy objects through the corridor and walking downstairs.

Feng Quan didn't care at first.

But when the sound came to the stairs, he suddenly turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Years of experience told him that this sound was not caused by dragging objects, but the sound of someone dragging the corpse and the corpse's feet falling on the steps.

Immediately.

He opened the door and walked over with a solemn face, holding a shovel covered in mud in his hand.

A faint mist floated inexplicably in the corridor.

soon.

Feng Quan came to the stairs. He saw two corpses wrapped in sheets. The corpses had just died and were still fresh. The arms of the corpses exposed outside the sheets were still the same skin color as normal people. There was no difference. There is still residual body temperature, but it has not completely cooled down.

The person who dragged the body was a middle-aged man in his 40s. He was wearing hotel overalls, like a cleaner.

"Sorry, there is a little garbage that needs to be dragged down for disposal, I hope I didn't disturb you."

The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at Feng Quan on the stairs, and showed a simple and apologetic smile.

The smile is slightly stiff.

It's unnatural, but it's hard to tell what's wrong.

"Shouldn't the police be reported immediately when someone dies?" Feng Quan's face was gloomy, and he stared at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but still dragged the two corpses wrapped in sheets and walked downstairs.

"When there is no person in charge in Zhongzhou City, I am the person in charge here. You can report the case to me. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I have the right to take you down."

Feng Quan showed his identity and took out his ID card.

But the middle-aged man continued to walk on his own as if he didn't hear it.

"If that's the case, then..."

Before he finished speaking, thick fog instantly enveloped the corridor, and then, beside the middle-aged man, suddenly a shovel covered in mud came down fiercely and hit the man's head directly.

A normal person would be knocked into a coma, not to mention dead, at the very least.

The middle-aged man who was dragging the corpse staggered and fell directly to the ground, and there was no movement immediately.

Feng Quan came out from the thick fog. He picked up the middle-aged man and planned to bury him first. After all, this is an unstable factor, so don't be careless.

"So light?"

However, the moment he picked it up, this middle-aged man in hotel overalls didn't have the weight of a normal adult, but was rather light.

Turn around and have a look.

Feng Quan's face suddenly changed slightly.

This is not a living person at all, but a paper figurine that was burned to the dead.

"What did Liu San do?" Immediately, Feng Quan thought of the paper figurine Liu San.

However, he didn't wait for him to think about it.

The surrounding ghost fog is rapidly dissipating, and at the same time, a slightly old-fashioned voice sounded: "The servant who bought it for three yuan during the discount was killed by a shovel like you. Well, you have to pay for it."

"Who?"

Feng Quan let out a low drink, and immediately followed the direction of the sound.

He ignored the two corpses on the ground, went downstairs quickly, and then came to the lobby of this small hotel. Just when he was about to go out, he stopped suddenly.

Then he turned to look at the counter next to him.

An old kerosene lamp was placed on the counter, with a yellowish light on it. A man in his sixties with an old cloth hat and wrinkled face was lying there, raising his head slightly at this moment He looked at Feng Quan.

The two looked at each other.

One is dignified and cautious, and the other is smiling, as if saying hello.

"An old resident of Taiping Ancient Town?" Feng Quan immediately deduced some information when he saw this person's attire.

"Your shovel is very unusual. It's not easy to kill my servant with one blow."

The man said, "How do you plan to compensate me? This is an old item that I have been using for decades. If it is broken, one less item is missing. I don't have any extra money to buy more."

"Who are you?" Feng Quan held the shovel, and the lights in the lobby flickered.

The thick fog gradually appeared, and soon, the gate next to it was completely covered by the thick fog, and then disappeared in front of my eyes.

Everything around was blocked by thick fog, but only the kerosene lamp at the front desk of the hotel was still flickering. The thick fog couldn't get closer, as if it was blocked by an invisible spiritual force.

"I am the owner of this hotel, you can call me Boss Liu."

After finishing speaking, the man grinned, feeling somewhat complacent.

It seems that being a boss makes him happy and proud.

"Boss Liu?"

Feng Quan knew it was an unimportant fake name as soon as he heard it, and he said, "Are you also a ghost master?"

"Ghost master? I'm not, don't talk nonsense, I'm a serious businessman." Boss Liu quickly shook his head in denial.

"It's not how ghost masters have supernatural beings." Feng Quan said.

"I bought it with money, and it was uploaded by my ancestors." Boss Liu said: "It's you, who are young and look like neither human nor ghost, and you are not afraid of scaring others when you go out."

"Did you kill those two people upstairs?" Feng Quan didn't answer his question.

Boss Liu vehemently denied it: "Nonsense, I'm in a serious business, how could I kill people, and even kill customers? I don't know whether it was luck or bad luck for the two of them. , Naturally, I have to pay a heavy price, I originally wanted to refuse the two of them to stay in during the day, but the business in the store is not very good recently, so I made an exception and agreed."

"I didn't expect them to die so quickly. I thought they would die in a few days. It seems that they took something incredible."

Feng Quan's eyes moved: "Ghost Street? What is that place?"

"Ghost Street in Taiping Town is a very famous place, but you don't know about it? Oh, by the way, you're not a local, so it's normal if you don't know about it. Speaking of Ghost Street, it's an incredible place, full of weird things. Sell……"

Speaking of this, Boss Liu sighed: "It's a pity that time has passed, and the bustling and lively Ghost Street in the past has also been dilapidated and declined. As expected, this era no longer belongs to them. Fortunately, I changed careers quickly and opened a hotel. I can earn a year's income. It's about a million, and I can retire after a few years. I hope I can raise enough money to buy a coffin before I die. I heard that cremation is popular recently. I don't know if the coffin shop will close down due to poor business. .”

Feng Quan paid attention to a few pieces of information.

Ghost street, coffin shop, saving money to buy coffins...

"You really are not simple, you know a lot of things, do you know about Ghost Lake?" Feng Quan said.

Mentioning Ghost Lake, Boss Liu's face immediately changed.

It was no longer so relaxed, but a little gloomy.

But soon, Boss Liu squinted his eyes and smiled again: "You lose money first, as long as you have money, you can ask anything, as long as I know."

"How much."

Feng Quan said: "Report the number, and I can transfer it to you."

He also has the right to mobilize Dachang City's operational funds, hundreds of millions are easy.

"I want that thing."

Boss Liu pointed to the shovel in Feng Quan's hand: "You can tell it's an old thing at first glance. It's very valuable. Maybe it can be sold for dozens of dollars."

"Do you think I'll give it to you?"

Feng Quan said: "And taking this thing, you provoked a captain, and you still want to retire safely?"

"It's so serious."
