what the hell is

Officer Chen and I are the only ones left now. We have nothing to say, which is rather embarrassing.He took out a cigarette: "Xiao Liu, can you smoke?"

How can I ask him to offer a cigarette, so I quickly waved my hand: "No, no, Uncle Chen, please go ahead."

Police officer Chen looked at the rolling hills in the distance, and asked me without turning his head: "Xiao Liu, what do you think of this matter?"

My palms were sweating, and I murmured, "I don't know, it's pretty scary anyway."

"Well, it's scary. So that's it?" He asked me as well as himself.

"That's it." I said, I originally expected the police to protect me, but now I can't rely on it.I can only find a way by myself, but if it doesn't work, I have to go to Ma Danlong.

At this time, Peng Gang ran over from nowhere: "I've been looking for you everywhere, so you're here." Seeing our unnatural expressions, he asked what happened.

I patted him: "Let's talk about it when we get back."

I asked him how his mother was doing.Peng Gang said there was nothing serious, but he was stimulated, so he should take a rest for a while.We walked back together, Peng Gang looked at Police Officer Chen in front, and said in a low voice, "Old Liu, my father has a letter."

"Oh?" I widened my eyes: "Where is he?"

"Keep your voice down. My dad called me just now."

I looked at him with a faint premonition, and my heart was beating wildly.

Peng Gang said: "My father didn't know how you were with me. He asked me to tell you that he was looking for him, so he came..."

"Where?"

"Old Liu, do you still remember that I once told you that there was a strange basement in the office building of my father's previous company?"

"Well, remember."

"My dad said he was waiting for you in the basement and told you to go alone."

finally come.

I looked at him, and Peng Gang hurriedly said: "Of course I won't let you go by yourself. I will accompany you. I am also responsible for this matter. I didn't expect my father to become so weird."

I was so distraught that I managed to calm myself down and asked him, "Don't you still want to show me his paintings?"

"Oh, yes." Peng Gang took out a sealed transparent bag from his satchel, and there was a pencil drawing of graffiti inside.I didn't pick up the painting, because I was already dumbfounded when I saw it at first glance.

How to describe this painting, I only have two words in my mind: epic.The background of the painting can't tell the exact age. There are mountains in the distance, and a huge city is billowing with black smoke. The walls are broken and the wind is howling. It looks like a tragic scene after a large-scale war.The most eye-catching thing is the open space in front of the city, full of people crawling densely.There are men and women, old and young, it's really hard to be a painter. There are hundreds of thousands of people, and the expressions on every face are so vivid.These people are all naked, crawling on the scorched ground, every face is distorted, painful, and even numb.There were snowflakes in the sky, and the pure white snowflakes mixed with the black dust formed by the burning of the city in the sky, forming a strange landscape, desolate and chilling, full of misery.

The main subjects in the painting are not those ants-like crowds, but two people standing on a high place looking down.Both of these two people were wearing black woolen coats, with their hands behind their backs, and the corners of their clothes fluttered in the wind. They were majestic and majestic, looking at the crowd below as if they were pointing at the mountains and rivers.The two looked at each other sideways, talking and laughing happily, as if they regarded everything as a dog.Intuitively, this painting does not seem like a certain scene in history, because I can feel that the painting should be a non-human world.

Seeing this painting, I can hear the pained cries of the people in the painting. The deep resentment made me feel very blocked, as if a huge boulder was stuck in it.I stared at the painfully distorted faces, and said hoarsely, "Where am I?"

Peng Gang pointed with his finger: "You are here."

I was stunned, those two figures who pointed out the country, one was Big Brother Peng, and the other was me!

Peng Gang looked at me: "What's going on?"

I smiled wryly: "How do I know."

I felt cold all over, felt dizzy for a while, and almost fell down. Fortunately, Peng Gang supported me.He looked at me worriedly: "Old Liu, if it's really not possible, let's call the police. My father is no longer the person I know well, and we don't need to risk ourselves."

I waved my hand, the police can't control this matter at all.Rather than letting Big Brother Peng stare at him like this, it's better to clarify everything once and for all.

"Did he say when he would let me go?" I asked.

"Tomorrow night." Peng Gang said.

Saying goodbye to him, on the way back, there was a long way, and I didn't take a car.I walked slowly in the cold wind, thinking over and over again of that painting by Brother Peng.What the hell does that mean?What does Brother Peng want to do?

Thinking about it really hurts my head, if I see him tomorrow, I will know everything.I looked up at the gray sky, feeling very uncomfortable, and still had a low fever.

Will that be the time of my death?The end of everything.

I took out my phone and thought about it, then called Li Yang.

"Hey, Lao Liu, I thought of calling me. You are more difficult to invite than Zhuge Liang now. What brought you here today?" Li Yang laughed.

"Li Yang, I'm at the funeral home now."

He heard my serious voice, and took a breath: "What are you doing there?"

"I can't explain in a few words. I just want to ask you, where is Ma Danlong now?"

Li Yang said: "I can't find him. Last time he helped Damin call out his mother's soul, and he left after recruiting. He is an expert in the world, his whereabouts are uncertain, and there is nowhere to look for him."

"Didn't leave a call?"

Li Yang said he didn't stay.I figured it out, anyway, I know his address, and I will go to Gaoqiao Community to find him in a while.

"Hey, hello, what's going on?" Li Yang asked.

I sighed and briefly explained what had happened.Li Yang is more knowledgeable than me, so maybe he can come up with some good countermeasures.Li Yang gasped when he heard that: "Damn, Lao Liu, it's so interesting. Do you want me to accompany you tomorrow?"

"No need." I vaguely felt that since Big Brother Peng dared to let me go, it meant that he must be prepared for something, why bother dragging unrelated people into the water.

Li Yang said, "Wait a minute, Damin is by my side."

Immediately afterwards, the voice on the phone changed, very low: "Old Liu, it's me, Li Damin."

After leaving the painting with him for a few days, I didn't meet him in the middle.I coughed lightly: "Are you okay?"

Li Damin said: "Very good. We don't need to exchange pleasantries anymore. Please tell me about the autopsy just now, and it must be detailed."

I had to say it again.

Li Damin said: "This is a bone extraction technique."

"Yes. You thought of it too."

Li Damin said: "That Peng surname is probably trying to use your bones to do sorcery. Be careful! I'm a useless person now, and I can't help you much. Call Li Yang if necessary."

"No need. Brother Peng is very evil, and Li Yang is just filling in as cannon fodder when he goes. If you really want to help me, you should contact Ma Danlong as soon as possible, and he is the only one."

"Okay, that's it, take care."

The phone hung up.Looking at the endless road in the distance, I let out a long sigh of relief.

I took a taxi on the side of the road and rushed to Gaoqiao Community at the first time. Relying on my memory, I finally found Ma Danlong's residence after twists and turns.But the iron door was closed tightly, and there was a heavy lock on it.I stepped on the bricks and jumped to the door, looking in through the window.

Many sheets of old newspapers were glued to the window, making it impossible to see clearly.I finally found the gap and squinted to look in.The house is empty, the walls are bare, there is nothing, garbage is everywhere, it is very desolate.There was a piece of yellow on the ground. Looking carefully, it turned out that the Taoist talisman hanging on the door lintel to exorcise evil spirits had fallen off. I swallowed when I saw it.

The light in the room was extremely poor, and with such a Taoist talisman, it felt a gloomy chill.

I was watching, and suddenly someone shouted from behind: "What are you doing?"

Turning around, I saw an old lady coming out to pour dirty water.I hurriedly said, "Sister, I'm here to rent a house and have a look."

The old woman's complexion changed, she looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "Young man, don't rent a house here. This, this house is not clean."

"Huh?" I turned my head and glanced at the room again through the glass, goosebumps all over my body.Quickly step on the bricks and jump back.

The old woman said: "It is said that people have died in this house, and it is not clean. At night, there will be noises inside, like a ball bouncing back and forth, and the sound of someone talking, which scares me to death. I am doing it for your own good. Hurry up. let's go."

I was not quite reconciled, and said: "I heard from my friends that it seems that someone lived here not long ago..."

"That person is abnormal. He leaves early and returns late, and won't come out after being locked in the house. If it weren't for fear of trouble, we would have called the police a long time ago. He might be a wanted criminal who absconded from somewhere. He moved away a few days ago. There was no sound, and no one knew when they left. Don't talk about it, it's so cold, go home quickly." She walked into the alley with the washbasin.

**.This Ma Danlong is really a wanderer, his movements are erratic, he walks away, going here and there for a while, it seems that he can only wait for him to show up.

I don't know how I got here this night, and I was dizzy when I went to work the next day.Seeing my virtue, the manager didn't even bother to scold me. I knew I was going to fuck off.There was even more heartbreaking news. While eating in the cafeteria, I heard from my colleagues that the head of the group headquarters came to inspect the company, and Wang Xue actually became an accompanying official and personal secretary.The relationship between the two is unusual, the eldest is over 50 years old, the old cow eats tender grass, and takes Wang Xue with him everywhere, it is estimated that Wang Xue has already been taken down, hehe...

I look at myself, I see people in their thirties, penniless, precarious, and haunted by evil things, what a fate.It doesn't matter if Wang Xue follows the boss, even if he is the junior, he can still eat delicious food.Old men still know how to hurt people.

When I got off work at night, Peng Gang came to pick me up, and we went to Brother Peng's former company building together.

It's past the off-duty time, and the people in the building are almost gone, which is convenient for us to do things.We entered the safe passage, followed the secret passage stairs, all the way down.Needless to say, this ghostly place is not much worse than the unlucky building in Huayuan District. It is pitch black and there is not even a building light.

The two walked each other with a companion, and we went all the way to the bottom of the first floor, where the stairway was blocked by a pile of debris.The stairs were full of broken wooden boards and some iron frames. We looked down with a flashlight. Among the sundries, a thin narrow path was cleared, which could only allow one person to walk sideways.This narrow road leads all the way to the depths of the dark stairs, and the light of the flashlight can't penetrate it at all, and the more you look at it, the more scary it is.

This kid Peng Gang is really responsible, he has indeed grown up.He patted me: "Old Liu, I'll go first, you're behind me."

I am very ashamed, his father's mistakes have nothing to do with him, it was originally my business, and he must be involved.Just as I was about to say something, Peng Gang took the lead and walked down with a flashlight. I rubbed my forehead, sighed softly, and followed behind.

Walking into the depths of the stairs, there is really a feeling of entering another world, the whole is enveloped in darkness.There was no sound at this time, except for the occasional sound of water droplets falling from nowhere.

After walking for a while, he stopped and took a photo with his flashlight: "Here we are."

I walked behind him and looked down. At the end of the stairs, there was an iron door half-closed and ajar, revealing a dark gap.There is a yellowed "Fu" on the iron gate.
