The first thing I did when I returned to the funeral parlor was to stand at the main entrance and use the soul search spell again. I wanted to search the entire area thoroughly. I needed to get some evidence, a solid proof that could rule out the possibility of ghosts gathering here.
Just like how Li Changtian found the compass in Hundred Children Village, I also hoped to find something here to break through. However, I was disappointed. There was nothing special in the funeral parlor. What surprised me more was that the funeral parlor in front of me didn't really exist!
To be precise, this is a deserted place. What I can see now is only the surface. Under the soul search technique, there are no signs of life in the funeral parlor other than human corpses.
I walked in under broad daylight and arrived at the small square. The houses on both sides still looked very dim under the sun. The building on the right had about four or five floors. The last time I went in, I only went to the first floor. I met the zombie-like staff member and had a particularly bad impression of him. Other than that, everything in that building is unknown to me.
On the left was the mortuary where Li Xiangling and I met with danger. A day had passed, but the door of the mortuary was still locked. I was very curious. Could it be that there were no dead people sent to be cremated in this city in the past two days?
Thus, I returned to the morgue door and saw that there was a lock on the door handle. It was indeed locked from the outside. I tried it and the lock was intact. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to open it with brute force. It seemed that since we were locked inside, this door had never been opened again. Then, the director and Mr. Hong that Li Changtian saw outside the door last night should have gone out from the office building on the right.
Helplessly, I had nowhere to go. I could only bite the bullet and cross the small square to the building on the right. Not long after I stepped in, I suddenly thought of a problem that I had neglected. There seemed to be no staff on duty at the entrance of the funeral parlor, so I could enter and exit without hindrance. But a few days ago, when I brought Li Changtian and Li Xiangling here for the first time, there was a guard who stopped us and led us here. Where did the guard go today?
This was really a ghost. The entire funeral parlor was empty. There was no one there. My soul search technique didn't find anything else, so I could only continue walking inside.
I only know the office on the first floor of the office building, so I went over to take a look first to see if the strange employee from before was still there. Pushing open the door, the dim scene appeared in front of me again. That strange man was still sitting upright in his chair, motionless. He was still in the same posture as last time. I even felt that this person's job was to daydream.
"Hello, is there anyone else here?”I asked him politely, hoping to find someone else to talk to.
However, he ignored me and continued to sit in his chair.
I asked again, but I still didn't get a reply. I felt that something was wrong. I went forward to check, only to realize that his body had already stiffened. I tried his breathing again, but it was gone. He was actually dead!
This is the second person I met in the funeral parlor in the west of the city who died not long after I met him. The first one was the fat director. Although Li Changtian saw him come back to life with his own eyes, I saw that he was indeed dead. This is another one. The people in the funeral parlor don't seem to live long.
There was nothing on the empty table. The man leaned back in his chair foolishly and died for no reason. I was still a little sad, so I helped him close his eyes and found a coat nearby. It was probably his clothes and I put it on him.
I didn't find anything else here, so I went out and continued to climb the stairs. Then, just as I was about to climb the stairs, I found something new.
The stairs that led up from the first floor did not exist at all. The original position of the stairs was empty. Only the handle could tell that this was the position of the stairs in the past, but now it was empty. There was no way to climb up.
It couldn't be that the people here went to work and dragged a basket up from their hands, right?
I knew that this was impossible. There must be something fishy about this. I wanted to go outside and see if there were any other places to go up and down. However, there was nothing special about the office building from the square. It was just like many ordinary buildings. The outside was straight up. Other than the walls and windows, there was nothing else.
The abandoned funeral parlor had no voice, and even the ladder was missing. Was this a place to bid farewell to their loved ones, or had it become a cemetery controlled by evil spirits?
I couldn't accept the fact that I didn't get anything. I came alone to investigate, but I didn't get anything. Xiangling was injured, and Ziyan lost her memory. After coming to City H, I thought I could find some fey to get rid of the pain of karma. I didn't expect that my goal would be far from being achieved. I even made myself very lonely, even more lonely than when I was at home. I looked at the sun in the square and was at a loss for a moment. If Second Uncle was here, he would definitely guide me. If the past hadn't happened, I might still be working outside. At least I would have much more freedom than now.
But after all, it had already happened. I knew that I couldn't escape anymore. If I counted the time, it should be time for the agreement with Changtian. Since there was no obvious harvest, I had already planned another plan. This matter might fall on Li Xiangling, who had some connections with Taoism!
"Be careful, there's ghost qi!" Zi Yan's voice suddenly entered my body and I immediately recovered. I had already developed this habit of reacting to her reminders at any time. This time was no exception.
Before I could see anything, I immediately dodged and left my original position. I rolled forward and landed on the ground. I held the Blood Bone Blade in one hand and went to see what had happened.
Zi Yan's memory was gone, but it was still useful for the Blood Bone Saber. In addition, she could still remind me of danger. I was very confident in her.
At this moment, I saw two men coming to where I was originally standing. They pounced at the same place. Fortunately, I was reminded and reacted in time. Otherwise, I would have been knocked down.
Those two people were the fat director and the missing Mr. Hong, who was on night shift!
"It really is you guys. I thought Chang Tian was mistaken!”"What do you want?" I asked.”
However, they didn't speak and charged at me again. From their looks and their lack of cover under the sun, they didn't seem to be ghosts!
However, I didn't dare to hesitate. These people didn't come with good intentions. Regardless of whether they were humans or ghosts, they were definitely targeting me. I couldn't just stand by and let them capture me, so I naturally had to resist. However, if they were to be used against a living person, those spells and techniques wouldn't be of much use, so I didn't plan on using them.
The fat director of the funeral parlor and Old Hong, who looked very old, attacked me slowly. I didn't have to use much effort to dodge them. I ran around the small square like a cat chasing a mouse, even though I didn't think I was a mouse. It's precisely because they're humans that I won't mess around. I can't hurt other people's lives for no reason!
After chasing for a while, they were out of breath and couldn't run anymore. However, they still tried their best to rush towards where I was at that time. I was speechless and continued to maintain a distance from them. Then, I asked," You two, we have no grudges against each other. Why are you doing this?”
However, no matter what I said, the two of them didn't reply. They just focused on me. After repeating it a few times, I roughly understood that these two fellows had lost their minds. There was no need to talk nonsense with them. Anyway, I couldn't understand them. Presumably, they should have been controlled by some kind of power. What they did was not their original intention. Moreover, they might not be aware of it. This kind of control made their souls lose their value. This was a little like the feeling when the ghost door opened and Zi Yan's soul was suppressed.
Because of this, I couldn't do anything to them. I hurt their bodies, but their souls weren't meant to be. I really couldn't bear it, so I ran out of the funeral parlor's door. I happened to see two cars stop and a bunch of young men get out.
"Big Brother Su Li, I'm not late, am I?”Li Changtian, who was driving the car, came out of the front car to greet me.
I ran for a long time and was a little tired. I waved my hand and held his car to catch my breath. Seeing the director and Mr. Hong chasing after me, I asked Li Changtian to take them down.
"Changtian, these two people are probably crazy. Get someone to arrest them and send them to the hospital later!”
"No problem!"
Li Changtian then ordered the young men to capture Mr. Hong and the director. They had no other skills and had no strength to resist. They were captured immediately. It was obvious that these young men listened to Li Changtian's words. This rich second-generation heir was indeed powerful.
"Big Brother Su Li, what are those two doing? Why do you keep chasing after you?" Li Changtian asked.
That's right, this is also the question I've been thinking about. However, there was one thing that I had figured out, and that was that the fat director's resurrection did not exist. That day, he was just lying in the coffin, pretending to be dead. I couldn't have deliberately felt his pulse and thought that he was dead. In fact, he should have been controlled before that day, so what happened after that happened.
However, who was controlling these two ordinary people?
Old Hong and the fat director were tied up and escorted to the back of the car. Chang Tian and I sat in the front car and led them to the hospital.
On the way, I repeatedly thought about this question. Gradually, some unbelievable speculations surged into my mind. I'm not sure which speculation is correct. It seems that this is the only way!
"Changtian, is there any particularly quiet and closed place here?”I asked as I sat behind him.
"A closed and quiet place?" Li Changtian didn't understand what I meant.
