strange neighbor

The scream of the proprietress immediately attracted many customers. Someone came over boldly, but it was too late for Jiang Duo to block it, and then he heard the scream again in his ear.

The proprietress was so frightened that she lost her mind, she waited for a while before remembering to call the police with her mobile phone, the police arrived quickly, took pictures and sealed off the scene, Jiang Duo frowned watching the people coming in and out at the door.

He quietly put away the talisman that absorbed the ghost.

"Hi, witnesses need to go with us to the office to take notes."

Jiang Duo nodded, and got into the police car with the pale-faced proprietress, and quickly finished the notes, and the two walked out of the police station.

"Sister." Jiang Duo asked, "Did you see who was screaming when you ran up?"

The proprietress was taken aback: "No, no, I only heard voices, but I didn't see anyone."

It's strange, he ran out almost as soon as the barking sounded, the other people in the corridor were all cats secretly looking out from the house, and he didn't meet anyone, who was barking?

The entire small hotel was sealed off, and everyone had to go out to find a new place to live. In the early morning, the cold wind was blowing, and it was really not a good experience to find a place to live with luggage, especially when Jiang Duo came out of the police station. After taking a step forward, it was already late at night when I found a new place to live.

Jiang Duo was lying on the bed without feeling sleepy. This incident revealed a strangeness. He wanted to find an opportunity to go back and check again. Jiang Duo held up the talisman in front of his eyes. The bright yellow talisman had been soaked by ghost energy. Turning purple, he casually picked up a piece of ghost aura, and the ghost aura twisted back and forth at his fingertips.

When he went out to eat the next day, he heard people in the town talking about what happened last night, and even the owner of the hotel stopped him to inquire.

"I'm not very clear about this. I can wait for the police's announcement." Jiang Duo said with a smile.

The boss felt bored and went back to the bar.

"Hey... You said that person, could it be the son of the Li family? Hasn't his son been lost for half a month?" Jiang Duo paused while holding the food, and heard the people next door talking. .

"Hey, no way, that old Uncle Li won't cry to death, he's just such a son."

Because the autopsy and other public announcements have not come out, the identity of the dead body has not been announced, but there have been a lot of rumors in the town, and everyone is guessing who that person is.

Jiang Duo thought for a while and leaned over, smiled: "How many of you know the identity of that person?"

There were three people at the table, seeing Jiang Duo stunned for a moment, one of them quickly said: "No, no, no, who knows, we are just talking nonsense."

"Actually, I'm also curious. I accidentally heard a few ears just now." He glanced at the side dishes on the table, turned around and called the waiter to add more dishes, and then said, "Shall we chat while eating?"

They stretched out their hands not to hit the smiling face, and those people were a little embarrassed, so while drinking, they told Jiang Duo their guess: "That old Uncle Li lives in the suburbs, and he has a son, who is about 30 years old this year, usually? His personality is relatively dull and honest, there is no major problem, he disappeared about half a month ago, but Old Uncle Li was in a hurry."

"What does that person look like?" Jiang Duo asked.

"Small eyes, a mole on the left cheek."

Jiang Duo narrowed his eyes and recalled the corpse in the washing machine. At that time, he didn’t know how long it had been in the washing machine. His skin was already swollen and white, and his eyeballs fell out of their sockets. So... what about the mole?It seems that there is one.

Is it really that man surnamed Li?How could he appear in the hotel washing machine in the middle of the night?

"Actually, it's not just old Uncle Li's son who was lost. In the town near us, seven or eight people have been lost these days."

Jiang Duo's eyes froze: "Seven or eight people have been lost?"

"Yeah, I'm telling you..."

"Hey hey——" A man next to him interrupted him: "He's drunk, haha ​​he was drunk and talking nonsense."

"I..." The man continued to speak, but was pulled up from his seat by his companion: "You are drunk."

Then he looked at Jiang Duo's apologetic face: "Oh, look at him, he's so drunk and talking nonsense, I'll send him home first, otherwise his mother-in-law will be fierce, and he will have good fruit to eat."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Jiang Duo to answer, he ran away as if fleeing.

Jiang Duo sat alone in a chair and meditated for a while, then got up and went back to the hotel, but was stopped by the boss as soon as he walked in.

"Young man, I heard you are looking for someone?"

Jiang Duo nodded remembering the excuse he said to find a friend.

The boss pursed his lips: "What does the person you're talking about look like?"

Jiang Duo repeated Qihao's appearance again, and then watched the boss slap his thigh: "Two people came to my store half a month ago, and one of them was very similar to what you said."

"two?"

"Yes, two, one is tall and the other is short. The short one seems a little afraid of him, and always promises to your friend."

"Then do you know where they went?" Jiang Duo asked.

The boss scratched his head: "Oh, I don't know about this, but your friend seemed to be injured when he came, and his arm was tied with such a thick bandage."

Jiang Duo nodded his thanks, the one who was injured was probably Qi Hao.

The boss smiled at him embarrassedly, but stopped talking.

Jiang Duo froze for a moment, remembered something, took out 1000 yuan from his wallet with a smile: "Thank you."

Immediately, the hotel owner was happy to see his teeth but not his eyes.

Jiang Duo went back to the room. Qi Hao showed up near Dawu Mountain half a month ago, and then people began to disappear. If there is nothing about him here, no one would believe it.

However, I haven't heard of any incidents of human life before, so... the incident this time is probably aimed at him.

The hour hand pointed to 11:30 midnight. Jiang Duo opened the window of the room and got out. He lived on the second floor. There were still people in the food stall, and there was no one on the road. He quickly arrived at the small hotel where he stayed for the first time. The surrounding area has been cordoned off by the police, and the doors and windows have been sealed, blowing in the cold wind. .

Jiang Duo stepped in and carefully tore off the seal. The small hotel was dark and quiet, with only the muffled sound of friction between the soles of his shoes and the carpet. He kept walking and went straight to the laundry room upstairs. The corpses had already been cleared away by the police. , he glanced into the washing machine, and there were still some minced meat hanging in the washing machine drum, he took out the talisman paper that had sucked the spirit of the ghost, and wanted to try to summon the soul, but after trying for a long time, it ended in failure. Duo frowned, always having a bad feeling in his heart, when does a person have no soul?The answer is only when the soul flies away and disappears in the world.

Suddenly there was a clear knocking sound outside the window, Jiang Duo jumped to the window in two steps, and saw a black shadow passing by, he quickly jumped from the window to catch up, the figure was very flexible, Jiang Duo followed He turned around and turned into a small alley.

This small alley has no street lights, and is narrow and long. After Jiang Duo followed him, he found that the figure seemed to be deliberately leading him somewhere, so in order to check whether his speculation was correct, he deliberately slowed down. After a while, as expected, The figure that had already disappeared came out again, and it was a few steps slower without a trace.

The moonlight made his shadow slender, Jiang Duo slowly followed the person in front, and finally the person paused at a corner, Jiang Duo had a premonition that the person was going to leave, and quickly pulled closer to him The distance, the man seemed to have guessed that Jiang Duo would come to catch him, so he dodged and turned to the other side. The difference between the two was only a few seconds. Jiang Duo stopped, and there seemed to be nothing floating in the air. Some familiar ghosts.

He stood in the wind and felt it for a while, then raised his feet and walked slowly and cautiously towards the direction where the ghostly aura came. Come, blow away the last trace of ghost in the air.

Jiang Duo took out the talisman paper and chanted a spell in his mouth. The talisman paper seemed to have spiritual intelligence, and it flew in one direction, and finally stopped in front of an inconspicuous courtyard gate.

Standing in front of the room, Jiang Duo unconsciously grasped Gui Bu. This familiar breath belonged to Qi Hao. Sure enough, the dead man had something to do with him.

The room was very quiet and there was no sound, but Jiang Duo knew that the moment he stood here, Qihao had already discovered that now they are both in the same tense state, but they are waiting for each other, waiting for each other There is action first.

One person and one ghost, separated by a house, the wind gradually blows harder and harder, making a crackling sound on the glass window, finally the people inside can't help it, a flash of light breaks out of the window, towards the river. Duo attacked, and Jiang Duo had been prepared for a long time, he turned sideways to avoid it and went straight to the house.

He broke open the door lock and opened the door, the room was glowing with dark red light, and there were soft screams in the thick smoke that filled the room, he blocked the ghost in front of him, and the fog immediately moved away for him a way.

"Finally you found it." Qi Hao gritted his teeth in a gloomy voice.

Through the thick fog, Jiang Duo saw Qi Hao sitting on the sofa with bandages on his arms. He smiled mockingly: "Why, the injury hasn't healed yet?"

This sentence can be said to touch Qihao's heart. He has always been a conceited and proud person. He did not expect to fall into Jiang Duo's hands one after another. He fell on Gao Rang 13 years ago, and 13 years later. He met Gao Rang's apprentice again, and the master and apprentice were like thorns in his flesh, and if he didn't get rid of it, he would not be happy for a day.

Qi Hao snorted coldly, and suddenly jumped up from the ground, lying on the wall like a gecko, looking at Jiang Duo viciously: "Say so much nonsense."

Jiang Duo had a careless expression on his face, only he himself knew how tense his current state was, he smiled and said, "It's an old friend, I'll pick an auspicious time for you to die."

After the words fell, Qihao was irritated by him, his legs burst out like a frog with a strong jumping force and rushed towards Jiang Duo. With a sound, he went straight towards Qihao.

Qi Hao's moves were vicious, but he quietly left a way out for himself. Jiang Duo pressed every step of the way, rushing to his deadly place every time.

"Jiang Duo, why bother, we don't have any deep hatred." Qi Hao said.

Jiang Duo's subordinates kept saying, "There's so much nonsense, are you afraid that you won't have a chance to talk about it in a while?"

"You!" Qi Hao was furious, and the actions of his subordinates became more and more fierce.

Jiang Duo lightly landed on the side, stabbed with his backhand, and Gui Bu cut Qihao's arm open, and blood flowed out immediately.

Qihao's eyeballs rolled back and forth. He didn't expect Jiang Duo to improve so fast in just one month. This ability has already startled him. Now that he is injured, it is really not suitable to confront him head-on. Thinking of this , Qi Hao suddenly opened his mouth, and a cloud of black mist sprayed out. Jiang Duo covered his mouth and nose, and there was the sound of wind passing by quickly in his ears. Duo took advantage of the situation and kicked up, not knowing where it landed on him.

There was silence after that, and before he realized it, Qihao had already fled.
