Chapter 18

The night is as thick as ink, and the moonlight in the sky is like silver.Black and white intertwined colors outline a dreamlike picture scroll.

The night is very deep.

In the bustling Yihong Courtyard, the voice of people in the lobby gradually faded away.The guests hugged the girls and went upstairs to the wing room.

……

The gray-faced boy was lying on the eaves, looking down at a room through the skylight.Seeing many figures in the light gauze tent, shadows on the bed shaking, and black air gushing out like a spring on the gray surface.

He suddenly stretched out his small hands to hold his head, twisted it hard, turned his head around his neck, and turned his face behind him.

Immediately, his whole body seemed to be exhausted, and he slumped upright on the eaves, staring at the full moon in the sky with black and white eyes indifferently.

When he was young, he covered his ears again.

It's just that the melancholy sound doesn't stop at this one place, it keeps pouring into his ears from all directions.

The gray-faced boy bared his teeth, covered his ears with his hands for a while, and then stretched out his left and right middle fingers to block his ears.

In a hurry.

Just as he was upset, the lights in a room below suddenly went out.The gray-faced boy seemed to sense something, and turned his head to take a look.

At this glance, the corners of the mouth can't help but torn up, the flesh is torn, the corners of the mouth are up to the corners of the eyes, and the root and fangs are exposed.

forest white.

sharp.

Against the backdrop of the moonlit night, it looked even more eerie and hideous.

However, he saw that his entire back rose out of thin air, but heels seemed to be born under his feet, his legs did not move, and his body was already upright.

The face on the neck is still facing the back, and the head seems to be twisted around the neck.

Swish.

The figure on the eaves disappeared for no reason.

When it appeared, it was already hanging upside down under the eaves with the lights turned off.

Immediately, a gust of wind blew open the window, and the gray-faced boy flew in without a sound.

In the room, the lights are dark and the lights are dark, and you can't see your fingers.

The gray-faced boy flew lightly to the bedside, his eyes flickered with evil light, and when he opened his mouth, a wisp of black air flowed into the account.After a while, two even breathing sounds gradually sounded in the light gauze tent.

The gray-faced boy grinned.

Immediately, the green gauze curtain opened without any wind, and a man and a woman were lying naked on the bed, sleeping soundly.

The boy flew into the tent, and leaned on the man, the two faces facing each other.As soon as the nostrils sucked in, puffs of white air shot out from the man's nostrils. In an instant, the man's slightly blood-colored face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, and each black hair lost its luster and gradually turned from black to white.

The plump face was continuously sunken downwards, and in just a short moment, it had become a skinny body.

The even breathing gradually became inaudible.

Until the nostrils were no longer emitting white gas, the man's weak breathing was completely silent.

The gray-faced boy smiled in satisfaction, and flew over the sleeping woman next to him.

The night is as silent as stagnant water.

The gray-faced boy's figure flew out from the window sill and floated up to the eaves.

He returned to the position where he was lying down just now, and bent down to look down.At this time, the shadow of the lamp was still shaking in the room, the shadow of the bed was shaking, and the creaking sound was extremely ear-piercing.

The gray-faced boy's dark eyes flickered, looking at the figure in the green gauze tent, the waves were soft, and seemed to have thousands of words, extremely complicated.

However, at this time, he suddenly made a strange movement, grabbed the hair on the top of his head with his left hand, lifted it up, and actually lifted his head and slipped it down.Lightly fluttering to the front of her body, she swung her right hand and slapped herself twice.

This weird situation is enough to scare any timid person to death on the spot.

After two palms, the soft light in the boy's eyes completely disappeared, replaced by a deep evil spirit and overwhelming resentment.

Swish.

The gray-faced boy on the eaves dissipated out of thin air, turned into a black and gray gas that was invisible to the naked eye, and floated down into the light gauze tent, the men and women in the tent didn't know it.

You work hard.

The black and gray gas swirled in the air, and immediately plunged into the woman's belly.

……

The next day.

The sun rises.

A series of gongs sounded in the streets and alleys, spreading far away.

The gong beater rang the gong and shouted loudly.

"Yihong Courtyard is dead."

"One man and one woman."

"The security team is looking for family members. Who didn't come home last night?"

"..."

Just after the big market yesterday, the street where Zhao Ying's family is located, because it is not a bustling main street, looks relatively deserted until the big market.

But as the gong beaters shouted with great fanfare, many figures appeared in many shops.

In front of every house, almost everyone stood there.

Neighbors on the left and right whispered.

"..."

"Sister-in-law Wang, has Big Brother Wang come back? Last night, Big Brother Wang invited my man to play cards, and my guy hasn't come home yet."

"...No, I usually come back early in the morning. I'm afraid I lost my time today because I'm gambling again. Hmph, seven out of ten days I gamble outside, so I'm not afraid that my old lady will be lonely and steal the man."

A shrewd woman cursed bitterly.

"Wang... Sister-in-law Wang, do we... want to go and have a look?"

"Whatever they do....Huh? You mean...?...Impossible, how dare Lao Wang have the guts."

"I...my family...hasn't touched me recently." A young daughter-in-law said in a shy tone.

"No... not at all."

"It's the same with my family. Recently, the two of them often have an appointment to play cards at night. Could it be that..."

"Sister-in-law Wang, let's take a look, don't worry."

"Yes, I have to go and see."

"Then let's go to the casino first and see if they are there?"

"...Wait, I'll take a stick."

again and again.

again and again.

Two footsteps hurried away.

At this time, Zhao Ying also left her courtyard and came to the street.He has quick eyes and ears, even though he was in the courtyard, he could clearly hear the voice of the person who hit the gong just now.

He took a step and walked towards the main street of the town in a leisurely manner.

Watching the excitement is one thing, but he also has two purposes.The first is to verify whether the cause of death of the two people has anything to do with Mrs. Ren.

In the plot, the old man Ren sucked the blood of a passer-by when he was hiding and healing his wounds. Now that the situation has changed due to his intervention, it is hard to say that the two corpses were not his handwriting.

Second, Awei.

There was a murder case in Yihong Courtyard, and the security team came to the scene. It is impossible for Awei, the security captain, to not be there.

The night before, Zhao Ying discovered that Ah Wei seemed to be the mastermind behind Mr. Ren's incident, but there were still many things he couldn't figure out, so he decided to take this opportunity to see if he could find something.

It's like the murderer has been identified, but there is no conclusive evidence and discovery.Therefore, with the answer, look for details from the murderer that you have overlooked before.

Zhao Ying dare not say that she is absolutely sure, but if Ah Wei is really pretending to be crazy and acting stupid, but in reality he is hiding a scheme, and more or less he should be able to find something wrong with him.

After all, even if a person hides well, without knowing that he has been exposed, his unintentional actions and expressions will inevitably reveal clues.

Yihong Courtyard.

The street was full of people.

The two bodies were placed outside the Yihong Courtyard Building.

Covered with a white cloth.

The woman was completely covered from head to toe, while the man showed his face.

After all, they were two naked corpses, and it would be indecent not to cover them up.Not covering the man's face is to facilitate family members' identification.

The security team formed a circle to keep the onlookers out.

Awei stood in the circle, majestically swaying his hands to stop the boiling voices.

"Don't worry, everyone, with our captain here, we will definitely investigate this matter to the bottom and bring the vile murderer to justice."

The human voice stopped for a moment and boiled again.

"When can I catch it?"

"What if someone dies again tonight?"

"I don't want to brag about terrible things."

Someone in the crowd shouted: "Captain Wei, the deceased died strangely, his face was skinny, and he didn't look like he was murdered. I think Uncle Jiu should be invited for this matter. For the living, you, Captain, I can manage it, but if it is really made of unclean things, then there is no delay."

"Yes."

"Ok?"

"Whoever said that the captain is bragging, stand up." Aweihu yelled.

The crowd suddenly fell silent.

Awei put his hands on his hips, and said righteously: "As the captain of the security team, I, Awei, are in charge of the public security issues in Renjia Town. What do you mean I can take care of the living? Can I not take care of the dead?"

"All you guys know is jijiwaiwai, don't hinder me from handling the case here."

Awei waved his hand and told his subordinates: "Security team, tell them to disperse quickly. They are all gathered here. When the family members of the deceased come, how can we identify the corpse?"

"Yes, Captain."

Soon, security guards began to disperse the crowd.

The ordinary people, seeing the security personnel with guns on their backs, did not dare to say anything, and dispersed one after another.

After dispersing the crowd, a security team member bullied himself in front of Ah Wei, and said in a low voice: "Captain, the way these two people died is really weird, what if... what if they are really not human?"

"Look for Uncle Jiu." Awei said bluntly.

The man was dumbfounded: "Didn't you just say..."

Before the man finished speaking, Awei glared at him and scolded: "Idiot, don't our security team want to lose face? Does the captain want to lose face?"

"..."

"Then when the family members identify the body, shall we carry it back, or...?"

"Why are you so stupid? Of course it is carried to Yizhuang. If these two people become zombies like my cousin uncle, will you dare to go up, or the captain dare to go up?"

Opposite Yihong Courtyard, Rouge Shop.

Qiu Sheng folded his arms and leaned against the door to watch. He was also a member of the crowd just now.

Suddenly, I saw a group of people coming from one end of the street. Among the crowd, there was a man in black clothes, with a height of 1.8 meters. There was no one as tall as him in the whole crowd, and he was very conspicuous.

"It seems to be...Old Zhao."

Soon, a group of people arrived at Yihong Courtyard and surrounded the mortuary several times.

"Cough cough."

Awei cleared his throat, and said: "You all have a closer look, is the dead male from your street? If anyone knows him, or knows the identity of the other person, please speak up and help the captain solve the case."

Zhao Ying stood in the crowd, his gaze fell in the direction of the corpse.

I saw the male corpse, his face was sunken, and his skin was pale, as if he had just been fished out of the water, so white that it was terrifying.The whole face looks thin and bony, with gray hair and no human appearance at all.

To be honest, unless there are acquaintances here and they know that the other party has more obvious characteristics, it is absolutely difficult to recognize them.

It's a pity that there are no obvious features on this person's face, and he has a deformed appearance, so no one in the group can recognize him.

Ah Wei didn't see anyone say anything for a long time, he squeezed his chin and said to himself: "Could it be someone from a nearby village?"

Of course, Zhao Ying didn't recognize it either, but seeing the appearance of the corpse, she couldn't help shrinking her eyes: "This is... the loss of energy."

"...it's absolutely impossible to deplete the essence overnight by doing that...unless...the essence is sucked dry." Zhao Ying thought to himself.

As a martial arts practitioner, I really don't understand what happens to the body when the energy is depleted.

Although this corpse barely has a human shape, as long as someone pinches the bones under the skin, it will be crushed into pieces in an instant.

All the energy in the body is exhausted, and even the bones will become brittle.

He stared at the neck of the corpse carefully, and thought: "Zombies suck blood, and they will leave trauma. Blood-sucking that does not hurt the flesh is no longer blood-sucking but seizing people's souls. No matter what kind of evolutionary route a zombie is, it must It has a strength comparable to that of Hanba. It is impossible for such a murderous creature to cause only this casualty. If the corpse’s energy is taken away and its body is uninjured, there is only one result..."

He shifted his gaze slightly, aiming at Awei out of the corner of his eye.

"Could it have anything to do with him?"

He is tall, looking straight ahead, too eye-catching, so there is no need to look directly at him.

The crowd was talking.

Qiu Sheng, who was originally on the opposite side of the street, squeezed in from the crowd and came to Zhao Ying's side.Seeing that his eyes seemed to be staring at the corpse, he couldn't help saying: "If you want me to say, if someone really needs to recognize the ghostly appearance of that person now, then he would be damned. Awei is just wasting his time."

Zhao Ying looked calm, he had already noticed Qiu Sheng's trace.

"What do you think?"

Qiu Sheng said: "It's not like you, a martial arts master, can't see it, and you still ask me? His appearance is clearly exhausted, completely depleted."

"Then what do you think can be done?" Zhao Ying asked.

"Nature is not human."

Qiu Sheng said in a low voice: "Only ghosts and evil spirits can absorb human energy. It is definitely not ordinary ghosts and evil spirits that can absorb the energy of two people overnight."

"You mean... very powerful?" Zhao Ying asked softly.

"Not necessarily, it may be very special."

"special?"

Qiu Sheng scratched his head and said with a dry smile, "Don't keep asking me, I don't remember much. Anyway...it seems to be related to "Huasheng". You have to ask my master for details, so he will know."

Zhao Ying didn't say anything.

"It's gone, it's gone. Why are you still hanging around here without knowing the identity of the deceased?"

The security guards started chasing people away again.

At this moment, two women came hurriedly from the corner of the street.

The current one looks in his thirties, with a little beauty and great ambitions.She held a wooden stick as thick as an arm in her left hand, and there seemed to be an uncontrollable anger in her eyes, full of evil spirits.

Behind her was another person, who was younger, probably in his twenties.His temperament seemed to be a little soft, and he kept his head buried, but seeing his every step was full of strength, it was obvious that this might be a superficial phenomenon.

Nine times out of ten, he has a temperament that is soft on the outside and strong on the inside.

The two of them came and the crowd was being dispersed.

"Sister-in-law of the Wang family, sister-in-law of the Liu family, who are you?"

Someone saw that the man in front of him was holding a big stick and his face was dark, so he couldn't help asking.

"Arrest." Wang's sister-in-law said forcefully.

"The two dead ghosts in our family tricked us out to play cards every day, but we went to the casino to ask. Guess what, they haven't been there for more than two and a half months."

The sister-in-law of the Wang family gritted her teeth and scolded: "The two bastards who are working together must be fascinated by the vixen in Yihong courtyard. If my aunt catches someone here today, she will have to break his two crutches."

At this time, Liu's sister-in-law, who had been keeping her head buried, raised her buried head, her pretty eyes were reddish like fire, and said, "Hands and feet are broken, I will remarry tomorrow."
