After pompom enters Hades

The situation was so weird that Zhu Ning didn't dare to go forward directly, patted the people squatting around the electric poles at the intersection ahead, and asked them what they were doing, but silently retreated to the side of the road, and quietly stepped forward, Observe carefully.

After a closer look, everything is not so scary. There is an old man in his 80s and 50s and an aunt in her [-]s squatting next to the telephone pole.

The two didn't seem to know each other, and they were busy with their own affairs with their heads down.The old man stared at the porcelain bowl under the telephone pole with fear in his eyes. After a few minutes, he tremblingly put away the bowl, got up and left as quickly as possible.

And that aunt seemed to arrive later, she took out a bowl of white rice from her cloth pocket, put it by the pole, closed her eyes and waited for something.

Zhu Ning couldn't help thinking that in some places, the bad customs have not been changed, and rice for ghosts will be placed on the side of the intersection where there is a car accident. A scapegoat.

When feeding rice to ghosts, strangers must not open their eyes halfway. If they disturb the ghosts who are eating, they will be bent down by the ghosts.

This aunt is obviously nervous, and she squeezes her eyes tightly shut, which is in line with feeding ghost rice, but the problem is...

There are no ghosts here.

Besides, there are only 2 people in Yucheng. Has there been a car accident at every intersection?

Out of respect, Zhu Ning waited for 5 minutes, until the aunt opened her eyes tremblingly and began to quickly put away the white rice, and then went forward:

"Auntie, hello! I came to Yucheng for tourism. I just arrived today but I can't find a hotel. Do you know where I can find a hotel?"

The appearance of Zhu Ning really surprised the aunt, but after she heard that Zhu Ning was here for a trip, she looked very relaxed, but a little anger surged on her face instead:

"What's there to see in our Yucheng, you young people really, it's a dilapidated city, you think it's fun... There are no hotels here, you can only sleep on the main road, go away!"

But Zhu Ning could see that the aunt didn't seem to be really angry, but was faintly afraid of something and was eager to drive him out of the city.

Zhu Ning asked sideways, pretending to be very interested: "I heard that there are many dilapidated empty buildings and ghost buildings in Yucheng. I can just find one to live in, and I can also broadcast a live broadcast of the ruins exploration..."

In a hurry, the aunt stretched out her hand and pushed Zhu Ning: "Are you going to die? We can't live here... because of the plague! The residential area farther away has no water, no electricity, no internet. What kind of live broadcast are you doing? Go ahead! "

Zhu Ning sideways avoided the aunt's pushing and shoving, the aunt staggered a bit, saw someone looking at the intersection in the distance, quickly withdrew her hand, and threw down a threat:

"You are a thief who broke into other people's old houses. You should drive out of the old city, or I will call the police and detain you!"

Then the aunt no longer cared about Zhuning, and hurriedly clung to the side of the road, walking towards the residential building not far away, as if something unexpected would happen if she stayed on the street for a few seconds longer...

Just as Zhu Ning wanted to catch up and explain his identity, he felt a light poke from the little paper puppet in his pocket.

Little paper puppet: "I put our contact information in her cloth bag, and put a protective spell on it. If she really has something to hide, she will call back."

Residents in several short buildings nearby seemed to have heard the noise just now, and all began to close their doors and windows and draw the curtains.When the situation was not clear, Zhu Ning didn't dare to startle the enemy, so he wandered around the dilapidated and empty streets like a real young tourist.

The yin in the city is indeed heavy, but there are no ghosts on the road.

The city government of Yucheng moved to the new urban area dozens of kilometers away as early as more than ten years ago. There is only a small police station in the old urban area.

The signal here is extremely poor. Zhu Ning wandered the street for 10 minutes before opening the map software with a 2G signal and finding the location of the Yucheng Police Station.

If many citizens in this city are afraid of something, it is impossible for the people at the police station to be unaware.

The place where Yucheng still has water and electricity is only a little smaller than Zhima. It took Zhuning 5 minutes to walk three streets to the corner where the Yucheng Police Station is located.

After that, he was taken aback by the scene here.

The other buildings on this street corner are normal, all closed and empty houses in a peaceful state, but the dark blue and white building on the street corner shows that it has experienced a war.

Broken glass was scattered all over the floor. The broken table used to block the door was tilted upside down. There are also wooden debris stuffed in the gap of the door.

If Zhu Ning hadn't known that ghosts would invade the world in three months' time, he might have thought that the catastrophe was the outbreak of zombies in the movie.

The entire police station was strictly guarded like an iron barrel, there was not even a single area that could be called a door or window. Zhu Ning reached out and knocked on the door of the police car blocking the door instead of knocking on the door.

咣 咣 咣!

This movement could startle the entire street, but inside the dark police station, it was still silent and there was no echo.

Zhu Ning pushed the police car twice, but didn't push it, so he had to adapt to the little fear in his heart and turned back into a small pompom, and then used his short pompom claws to climb up the rags and wooden strips used to block the gaps. He squeezed his fat self into the top round hole.

The little pompom fell down a little bit, but it didn't land gracefully as expected. Instead, it got stuck in the gap between the door-blocking iron cabinet inside and the outer sundry door with a chirping sound.

The poor little pompom is like a big ball of cotton stuffed into the seam of the radiator, completely stuck and unable to move.

The little pompom was stunned for a moment, and then desperately kicked the iron cabinet with its plush claws, and the colleague yelled and struggled frantically:

"Chirp chirp chirp!!!"

The yelling that increased the atmosphere of fear not only made the little pompom more and more frightened, but even a series of flustered rustlings and nervous whispers came from the dark police station.

"The ghosts in the city are already so powerful!"

"Old Feng, I, I'm afraid I can't hold it anymore... You escape through the back door, and you have to send... the news about Yucheng no matter what!"

At this time, the little pompom, which was squeezed into a big fat pancake by the railway tracks, opened its mouth in a panic, trying to bite the iron cabinet, but the pompom's posture was fixed, and the big mouth full of fangs could only click in mid-air. Slight scratches on the iron sheet made a creepy sound.

"No—if I can escape to a citizen's house and use their phone..."

"You... don't be stupid, there are not many good people in the city now, run away! That thing is coming in!"

At this moment, a brisk English song rang, and the terrifying clicking sound stopped suddenly. After a series of sounds, Zhu Ning pressed the answer button of the mobile phone:

"Hello?"

At this time, Zhu Ning had subconsciously changed back into a human form, and then found out embarrassingly that his human form was actually thinner than a pompom, and could just stand in the gap between the iron cabinet and the outer door.

The phone was silent for a few seconds, and then the aunt's crying voice came from just now: "Are you that special, special...comrade from the ghost catching department? Please save my granddaughter, save my Beibei! "

The aunt's voice sounded muffled the whole time, she didn't know it was the phone call from the corner of the house hiding in the quilt, after a few words of trembling and crying, she seemed to hear some noise, and hung up the phone in a panic.

Zhu Ning thought for a moment, and finally decided to seek help from the comrades at the police station. He put away his mobile phone and said weakly:

"Um... are the comrades from the Yucheng Police Station in the room? How do you move this iron cabinet?"

Two minutes later, the little paper man, who was almost squeezed into a bookmark, crawled out of Zhu Ning's pocket, moved the big iron cabinet, and released Zhu Ning who was awkwardly trapped in the gap.

Although the room was still dark at this time, after the episode just now, Zhu Ning was not too scared anymore, he tentatively kicked away the debris with his feet, and walked slowly inside.

"Who are you?" The old policeman asked vigilantly from the back room: "How did you make those noises just now!"

Zhu Ning bumped into the corner of a certain office desk, temporarily stood still, and politely replied: "I am Zhu Ning, the executive officer of the Special Case Investigation Division, and I just came to Yucheng today."

The people inside were still vigilant: "You... how do you prove it?"

Thinking of the two police officers who had been tense for a few days, they were likely to face each other behind the desk and cabinet in the back room. Zhu Ning did not make any sudden movements, but reached out and took out his work card, and gently threw it into the darkness of the back room: " I have a work permit."

Zhu Ning waited outside, but a feeling of uneasiness slowly surged in her heart.

Maybe it's because the police station is filled with a stuffy smell, which is very unpleasant... But the two police officers here have been guarding here for an unknown amount of time, and it's normal for the excrement to be difficult to throw out of the house.

The people inside looked at Zhu Ning's work card, and they were relieved of the huge burden. The young policeman's voice was full of tears: "Great, the higher-ups finally sent someone over, and Lao Feng was saved... the whole Yucheng has been saved, woo woo woo, I thought..."

The old policeman was also very excited: "Fortunately, we have persisted for so long. During the period, I thought I would not be able to hold on so many times."

Zhu Ning also wanted to treat the wounded as soon as possible. He turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and prepared to walk along the road.

But when the sudden and dazzling light of the flashlight barely illuminated the desk in front of him, Zhu Ning's hand shook violently, and the phone rolled and fell to the ground, stopping on the beach that had been dry for several days. In blood.

Zhu Ning only felt the bone-penetrating chill slowly climb up his back, and his whole body froze in place as if falling into an ice cave.

The corpse of an old policeman whose throat was slit was slumped on the desk in a bent posture, while curled up in the corner was a young policeman who had long lost his breath...
