Roster of Demons

Gu Zhen was anxious, and stepped on the accelerator a little harder.

The people from the logistics department chased after him for a while, and he saw it, but they didn't stop.

In less than 2 minutes, Fang Jing's call arrived.

Gu Zhen turned on the speakerphone: "Fang Jing, that..."

"Don't say anything that is useless." The other party interrupted him, "Tell me, what are you going to do?"

"The little crow is in danger." Gu Zhen said, "I'm going to find him."

"You should know that you can't help, and going there will only add to the chaos." Fang Jing said, "Think carefully."

Gu Zhen was choked up by him, but couldn't refute, and said bravely, "I know what you said, but I must go." He paused, "I won't hinder you, and you don't want to hinder me either. "

The oppressive feeling in his chest has always been lingering, and he always feels that something bad is happening secretly in a corner that no one knows about, invisible and intangible.

He had a hunch that if he turned around and left now, he would definitely regret it.

There was a moment of silence on the other side.

"...Which direction is it?" Fang Jing said.

"Probably in the southeast direction." Gu Zhen said, "I'm not sure, the signal is not good, I can't hear what the little crow said."

"It shouldn't be wrong." Fang Jing said, "The seven-seater van stopped by the third team came from the southeast."

"The one in the video?" Gu Zhen asked.

"Yes. The people in the car have also been detained. We are now interrogating and will end soon." Fang Jing said, "Little Crow, we will go there as soon as possible."

Gu Zhen paused and said, "Thank you."

"You don't need to be so polite." Fang Jing said, "It's your duty. As for you...be careful."

"Okay, I'll contact you later." Gu Zhen turned off the phone.

There was a T-junction ahead, and there was no way to go any further. He turned the steering wheel and turned to the left.

There was no one along the way, so Gu Zhen picked up his speed again.He never imagined that someone would suddenly fall from the side of the road, fall into the middle of the road, and get in front of the car.

Gu Zhen was startled and slammed on the brakes.

The tires made screeching noises, dragging a dark gray trail on the ground, and finally barely stopped less than half a meter away from the man.

The one who fell to the ground was a homeless man, wearing a thick cotton coat on a hot day, the fabric was so dirty that the original color could not be seen.

Seeing that the fall was not serious, he got up slowly.

All kinds of troubles in Gu Zhen's heart were pressed together, but he couldn't get angry with others, so he rolled down the car window and asked, "Are you okay?"

The homeless man rubbed the elbow he had fallen on, and looked at him with his head tilted without complaining of pain.

"You...do you understand?" Gu Zhen asked.

This man seemed to have some brain problems, he grinned at Gu Zhen, showing his yellow teeth.

Gu Zhen hesitated, but still opened the car door.

"Do you want to go to the doctor..." He leaned half out of the driver's seat, before finishing speaking, he suddenly felt a pain in his neck.There is a word "Yuan" in his mouth, and the personnel and affairs are unknown at that time.

Gu Zhen was only dizzy for a while.

When he was conscious, the first reaction in his mind was that he was plotted against.

His assassin was carrying him through the bushes, and the branches kept hitting his face, drawing marks, and there must be blood in several places.

The place where the hand was cut and the imprint on the back of the neck were excruciatingly painful. In addition, the control of the body had not yet been regained, and the hands and feet were tied with rough hemp ropes.

Gu Zhen asked himself that he had never had any feud with anyone, so he made a rough guess when he got in touch with the Jingwei case that he had investigated in the past two days.

The person who kidnapped him had a faint, weird and sweet smell, which was pleasant at first, but it became a little disgusting after smelling it too much.

They didn't go far, and entered a house, surrounded by vacant villas, presumably it was one of them.

There was someone in the room to respond, and there was more than one person who heard the movement.

"Did someone bring it?"

"Yes."

Judging from the tone of voice, the questioner was a small boss. He walked towards Gu Zhen, pinched his chin, and swung left and right.

The man had the same smell on him.

"That's right, it's in the photo. Throw it to the basement and seal the door."

"Yes."

The two ended their conversation.Gu Zhen was sent to the basement again.

When going down the stairs, he vaguely heard the little boss talking to other people in the room, saying "time is running out", "don't keep both", "fill up the water"...

The conversation was endless, and I couldn't digest it for a while.But soon he had no extra thoughts to think about this issue.

The person carrying him stopped, put him on the ground, and then opened a bedroom door. The damp and cold air rushed in, and there was the sound of splashing water. It sounded like something was struggling in the water.

Before Gu Zhen could wonder what he wanted to do, he was kicked out without warning!

But in an instant, Gu Zhen fell into the water.

Cold, foul-smelling water poured in from all directions, engulfing him whole.

Immediately, a large cloud of bubbles gushed out from the surface of the water.

The man completed the task, didn't stay any longer, closed and locked the bedroom door, and let the bubbles on the water surface change from more to less, and finally almost disappeared.

The basement was plunged into darkness, with only a few gleams of light leaking in from the ventilation holes on the top.

The sound of splashing water in the corner gradually stopped, and a shadow climbed up the wall and slowly swam towards Gu Zhen's position.

Before the shadow approached, the water suddenly stirred.

After drinking a stomach full of water, Gu Zhen finally regained control of his body. He suddenly jumped out of the water, took a deep breath, and then coughed violently.

The shadow was frightened, let out a soft cry, and hid in the darkness.

Gu Zhen struggled to lean against the wall while coughing. His hands and feet were still tied, and he choked on several saliva from less than half a meter away.

In this type of basement, a wooden staircase was originally added for easy access. Obviously, the real estate developer went bankrupt before it could be installed.Just convenient for the kidnappers, there is a ready-made cistern with a cover.

He leaned against the wall for a while, and asked in the direction of the shadow: "Who is where?"

Shadow didn't answer.

"Can you talk?" Gu Zhen asked again, "Is it a person, or that?"

Shadow carefully moved out of the darkness, his soft voice trembling because of the coldness: "Who are you?"

it's a girl...

With the faint light, Gu Zhen could barely see the outline of the other party, slender and thin, shivering because of the low temperature.

"Jing... Qianyao, is that you?" Gu Zhen asked tentatively, "My name is Gu Zhen, and I am Little Crow's friend. We are here to save you."

"Save me?" The girl didn't believe it, "Don't bully me, I can't see, you were thrown in here, right?"

"Uh, this was an accident. The process is a bit complicated, I'll tell you later." Gu Zhen said, "...do you trust me?"

"Yeah. You have the 'meaning' of a little crow, I can smell it." Jingwei said.

"That's good." Gu Zhen said, "Can you do me a favor? There is a small pocket on the sleeve, give me the contents. I need to untie the rope first."

The trousers he was wearing today had no pockets, only a decorative fake pocket on the sleeve.It was also thanks to this that the black bone given to him by the little crow was not confiscated.

Jingwei supported the wall, slowly waded to Gu Zhen's side, reached out his hand like a blind man, and touched his arm: "I have to get out of here quickly, the water dragon king has dragged me so many times, I can't hold it anymore. "

The water ghost in the swimming pool circulated by the University of Chinese Medicine is probably the water dragon king mentioned by Jingwei.

"Have you been locked up here?" Gu Zhen asked, "More than a month?"

"Not all, almost." Jingwei touched the black bone, took it out and stuffed it into Gu Zhen's hand, "Take it. After those people arrested me, they locked me in the villa and threw me into the swimming pool if I didn't obey." Push. Yesterday? Or today? Just sent me here."

"Who is arresting you? Why arresting you?" Gu Zhen called out the bone knife and carefully cut the hemp rope.

"Why else? Of course it's healing." Jingwei said, "I don't know who it is, but it's not a good person anyway."

"Do you know what disease they asked me to treat?" Her tone was filled with obvious disgust, "Backlash disease."

"I don't understand, what's the disease?" Gu Zhen asked.

"It's a bit troublesome to explain." Jingwei said, "To put it simply, it's just that he studied evil ways and was backlashed by magic, and his body festered on a large area, from the inside to the outside, red and black. Sooner or later, he will die."

"Did you get cured?" Gu Zhen asked.

"It can't be cured, I don't have that ability." Jingwei said, "It's not unreasonable for these vicious spells to be called crooked ways.

"With the intention of harming others, using the power against the sky, and doing self-interested things, you will naturally be punished. It is the three souls and seven souls that are eroded by backlash. Even if I pour all the demon power into him, it will be useless.

"Besides, what can array spells do? Isn't it used to deal with monsters? To such a degree of festering, eight hundred if not a thousand monsters died in his hands. Even if it can be cured, I will not save him."

"And then you were left here because you couldn't be cured?" Gu Zhen asked.

"You are so naive." Jingwei said, "The one who asked me to see a doctor was an old man. They called him Mr. Li. He should have a high status. I have seen his face and I know he has this disease. Whether it can be cured or not, they They won't let me go back alive. What about you? Why were you arrested?"

"Didn't I just say that, it was purely accidental." Gu Zhen laughed, "It's also me who nodded my head. I didn't do anything, and I was knocked out and kidnapped. I just happened to be your brother."

Jingwei: "Hey, don't talk about it, just thinking about it makes me angry. Have you untied the rope yet?"

"Immediately." Gu Zhen's hands were free and he was cutting the rope on his feet.The bone knife that Little Crow gave him was unsharpened, and it took a lot of effort to use, "Do you feel more and more bored?"

"The water level is rising. I'm afraid it will drown us both." Jingwei sighed, "Will the little crow come to rescue us?"

"I don't know. He's also in trouble." Moji finally broke the rope after a long time. Gu Zhen took back the bone knife and sighed, "I don't know how he is now."

"What should I do?" Jingwei said, "I'm a little scared."

"Don't be afraid." Gu Zhen said.

Jingwei, the little crow, Gu Zhen himself... Troubles came one after another, and it was difficult to have a clue for a while.The more he thought about it, the more chaotic he became. He gritted his teeth and simply didn't care about anything.

"The little crow is so powerful, so he will definitely be able to take care of himself." Gu Zhen encouraged Jingwei and himself, "We can't hold back either. Don't think about anything else, first set a small goal that can be achieved—for example, to live go out."
