Mysterious Recovery

At the same time, within the ancient town of Ping An.

​

This is the new urban area of ​​the ancient town, which belongs to the tourist area invested and built by Zhongzhou City later.

​

Feng Quan was left alone in this new city, and Yang Jian told him not to set foot in the old city, because he was worried that there were some strange things in the old city, so as not to encounter unpredictable dangers.

​

He also noticed that something was wrong in the old town.

​

So he did not object to Yang Jian's suggestion.

​

"Everyone's signal has disappeared." Feng Quan found a special hotel to check in. He used the satellite positioning mobile phone to pay attention to the changes in the signal of several people.

​

Just before.

​

Everyone's signal disappeared, including Yang Jian's personal mobile phone.

​

He stood by the window and looked.

​

The old town of Taiping Ancient Town is dark and gloomy.

​

Although there are also street lights, the lights there seem to be particularly dim, as if the lamps are aging and the power supply is insufficient.

​

But ordinary people will certainly not notice this change.

​

"There is indeed danger over there." Feng Quan secretly said in his heart.

​

But right now.

​

Suddenly.

​

He heard some movement from the corridor outside the door. It was the sound of someone dragging something heavy across the corridor and walking downstairs.

​

In the beginning, Feng Quan didn't care.

​

But when the movement came to the entrance of the stairs, he suddenly turned to look in the direction of the sound.

​

Years of experience have told him that this kind of sound is not caused by dragging objects, but by someone dragging a corpse and the corpse's feet falling on the steps.

​

Immediately.

​

He opened the door and walked over with a dignified expression, holding a shovel covered in mud in his hand.

​

A faint mist floated inexplicably between the corridors.

​

soon.

​

Feng Quan came to the stairs and saw two corpses wrapped in sheets. The corpses had just died and were still fresh. The arms of the corpses exposed outside the sheets were still the same skin color as a normal person, with no difference whatsoever. There is still residual body temperature, and it has not completely cooled down.

​

The person dragging the body was a middle-aged man in his forties. He was wearing a hotel overalls, like a cleaner.

​

"Sorry, there's a little garbage that needs to be dragged down for disposal. I hope it didn't disturb you."

​

The middle-aged man raised his head, looked at Feng Quan on the stairs, and showed a simple and apologetic smile.

​

The smile was a little stiff.

​

It's very unnatural, but there's something wrong that I can't tell.

​

"Shouldn't someone report the crime immediately after death?" Feng Quan's face was gloomy, he stared at the middle-aged man.

​

The middle-aged man didn't speak, but still dragged two corpses wrapped in sheets downstairs.

​

"If there is no person in charge in Zhongzhou City, I am the person in charge here. You can report the case to me. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation, I have the right to take you down."

​

Feng Quan revealed his identity and took out his documents.

​

But the middle-aged man walked on his own as if he didn't hear him.

​

"If that's the case, then..."

​

Before he could finish speaking, a thick fog instantly shrouded the corridor. Then, beside the middle-aged man, a shovel covered with mud suddenly slammed down and smashed directly on the man's head.

​

A normal person would be killed by such a shot, at least in a coma.

​

The middle-aged man who was dragging the corpse staggered and fell to the ground, and immediately stopped moving.

​

Feng Quan walked out of the thick fog, he picked up the middle-aged man, and planned to bury this guy first. After all, this is an unstable factor and should not be careless.

​

"So light?"

​

However, the moment he picked it up, the middle-aged man in the hotel overalls didn't have the weight of a normal adult, instead he was light and airy.

​

Turn around and take a look.

​

Feng Quan's expression changed slightly.

​

This is not a living person at all, but a paper figurine sacrificed to burn the dead.

​

"What did Liu San do?" Immediately, Feng Quan thought of the paper man Liu San.

​

However, he didn't wait for him to think about it.

​

The surrounding ghost fog was quickly dissipating, and at the same time, a slightly old voice sounded: "The servant who spent three yuan on the discount was beaten to death by a shovel like you. Well, you have to lose money."

​

"Who?"

​

Feng Quan gave a low drink, and immediately followed the direction of the sound.

​

He ignored the two corpses on the ground, went downstairs quickly, and then came to the lobby of this small hotel. When he was about to go out, he suddenly stopped.

​

Then he turned to look at the counter next to him.

​

There was an old kerosene lamp on the counter with a yellowish light. A man in his 60s with an old cloth cap and wrinkled face was lying there. He raised his head slightly at this moment. He looked at Feng Quan.

​

The two looked at each other.

​

One was dignified and cautious, the other with a smile, as if to say hello.

​

"Old residents of Taiping Ancient Town?" Feng Quan immediately deduced some information when he saw the dress of this person.

​

"Your shovel is very unusual. It's not easy to shoot my servant to death in one fell swoop."

​

The man said, "How are you going to compensate me? This is an old item that I have been using for decades. One is broken and one is missing. I don't have any extra money to buy it."

​

"Who are you?" Feng Quan held a shovel, and the lights in the lobby flickered.

​

The thick fog gradually appeared, and soon, the door next to it was completely shrouded in the thick fog, and then disappeared in front of my eyes.

​

Everything around was blocked by the dense fog, but the kerosene lamp at the front desk of the hotel was still flickering with lights, the dense fog could not get close to half a minute, and it seemed to be blocked by an invisible supernatural force.

​

"I'm the owner of this hotel, you can call me, Boss Liu."

​

After speaking, the man grinned, actually feeling a little complacent.

​

It seems that being a boss makes him very happy and proud.

​

"Boss Liu?"

​

Feng Quan knew that this was an unimportant fake name as soon as he heard it, and he said, "Are you also a ghost rider?"

​

"Ghost rider? I'm not, don't talk nonsense, I'm a serious businessman." Boss Liu quickly shook his head in denial.

​

"How can there be supernatural things if it's not a ghost rider." Feng Quan said.

​

"It was bought with money, and it was uploaded by Zu." Boss Liu said: "It's you, you are young, you look like you are not a ghost or a ghost, and you are not afraid to scare others when you go out."

​

"You killed those two people upstairs?" Feng Quan didn't answer his question.

​

However, Boss Liu strongly denied it: "Nonsense, I am in a serious business, how can I kill people and kill guests, the two of them don't know if they are lucky or unlucky, they strayed into the ghost street and took the things from the ghost street. , Naturally, a heavy price has to be paid. During the day, I originally wanted to refuse the two of them to stay, but the business in the store has not been very good recently, so I made an exception to agree."

​

"I didn't expect them to die so quickly. I thought they would die in a few days. It seems that they took something incredible."

​

Feng Quan's eyes moved: "Ghost Street? What kind of place is that?"

​

"Taiping Town Ghost Street, a very famous place, you don't know about it? Oh, by the way, you are not a local, so it is normal that you don't know, when it comes to ghost streets, it is an incredible place, there are all kinds of strange things. Sell....."

​

Speaking of which, Boss Liu sighed: "Unfortunately, times have changed, and the bustling ghost streets that used to be bustling have also fallen into disrepair. Sure enough, this era no longer belongs to them. Fortunately, I changed careers quickly, opened a hotel, and made money in a year. I can retire after a few years. I hope I can raise enough money to buy a coffin before I die. I heard that cremation is popular recently, and I don’t know if the coffin shop will close down due to bad business. ."

​

Feng Quan noticed several pieces of information.

​

Ghost Street, coffin shop, saving money to buy coffins...

​

"You really are not simple. You know a lot of things. Do you know about Ghost Lake?" Feng Quan said.

​

Speaking of Ghost Lake, this boss Liu's expression changed immediately.

​

No longer so relaxed, but rather gloomy.

​

But soon, Boss Liu squinted his eyes and smiled again: "You lose money first, as long as you have money, you can ask anything, you know I know."

​

"How much."

​

Feng Quan said: "Report the number, and I can transfer it to you."

​

He also has the right to mobilize Dachang City's action funds, a few hundred million is easy.

​

"I want that thing."

​

Boss Liu pointed to the shovel in Feng Quan's hand: "At first glance, I know it's an old item. It's very valuable. Maybe it can be sold for dozens of dollars."

​

"Do you think I'll give it to you?"

​

Feng Quan said: "And taking this thing, you provoke a captain, do you still want to retire in a safe and secure way?"

"It's so serious."

​

Boss Liu waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it, the captain sounds like a big man, and I, the little boss, can't afford to provoke me, so you can just give me three or four dollars, and I don't think it's too little."

​

He rubbed his fingers, the meaning was obvious.

​

"I don't have the three or four bucks you said." Feng Quan was not stupid, of course he knew that this boss was worth more than ordinary money.

​

After thinking for a while, he took out a red ghost candle: "I can give you this candle, if you're willing to tell me the secret here."

​

"Pre-inspection."

​

Boss Liu looked at the red candle and became a little curious, his eyes lit up slightly, as if he had seen something novel.

​

"Okay." Feng Quan threw the red ghost candle to him.

​

As soon as Boss Liu took it, he put it in front of his nose and smelled it several times from beginning to end.

​

"There are ashes, corpse oil, blood, and..."

​

Suddenly.

​

He put down the red ghost candle and smiled: "That's right, it's a good thing, it's a pity that I can't help but burn it, but it's also worth a bit of money, but one is not enough, how about another one, this thing is not a rare thing, I have raw materials for it. It can also be made.”

​

"Just one, no more." Feng Quan said.

​

"Your shovel is an antique. It's very rare. You give it to me. I don't count the account for killing my servant before, and I'll give you another seven dollars. How about it?" Boss Liu did not know where it came from Pulled out a piece of paper money.

​

Flowers are green.

​

It was actually a seven-yuan denomination.

​

It was exactly the same as the paper money Yang Jian had before.

​

"This is a seven-yuan bill. You rarely see it once in your life. Smell it, the smell of serious money, it smells so good, I've saved half a lifetime of coffins and I could have paid you all at once." He said while staring at Feng Quan's shovel.

​

Obviously, in his eyes, nothing is more important than the broken shovel.

​

"I said that this thing is not for sale. If you want, you can grab it and kill me. This thing is yours. It depends on whether the boss has such ability." Feng Quandao.

​

How could he sell this supernatural item, this is a life-saving thing.

​

But Boss Liu didn't mean to rob him, he sighed, silently collected the seven yuan, and put away the red ghost candle: "It's okay, it's okay, I'm going to suffer a little today, just now I Forget about the servants, the old ones don’t go away, the new ones don’t come, sooner or later there will be a bad day, and it’s not benevolent for me to compare with your post-life.”

​

"You don't care, but my question is not over. You are from Taiping Ancient Town, you are involved in the spiritual circle, and how much do you know about the ghost lake." Feng Quan asked seriously.

​

"The headquarters has already sent several captains to investigate. If you don't tell me, the secrets here will be revealed sooner or later. If you cooperate a little bit, it might reduce the impact and kill a few people."

​

Boss Liu rolled his eyes: "I'm a broken mouth, but I don't dare to talk nonsense about some things. Saying it will be harmful to your future generations. You can't deal with the ghost lake thing. It's better to withdraw quickly, that's not it. What you can get involved in, if you come here early, I will definitely stop you and tell you not to die."

​

"How do you say?" Feng Quan then asked.

​

Boss Liu looked outside the store.

​

But I couldn't see clearly, it was covered in thick fog, and even the gate disappeared in the thick fog.

​

Boss Liu then slowly took out a tea cup from under the counter and filled it with water: "This is the ghost lake you mentioned."

​

Then he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the small plate next to him: "This is a ghost."

​

Then he threw the melon seeds into the water cup one by one: "The ghost enters the ghost lake and it will sink."

​

A melon seed fell into a water glass and quickly sank to the bottom of the glass.

​

"One or two is fine, it won't affect anything." Boss Liu kept his hands and threw melon seeds into it.

​

"But if there are too many, the water in the cup will overflow."

​

When seven or eight melon seeds were thrown in, the water in the water cup overflowed along the edge and onto the counter.

​

"The overflowing water is the supernatural event in your mouth, but if this situation continues, the water will continue to overflow." Boss Liu said and threw the sunflower seeds into the water glass one after another.

​

Seeing this situation, Feng Quan froze in his heart: "Is this the truth that Ghost Lake is out of control?"

​

It turned out that the ghost lake carried too many ghosts, so the ghost lake got out of control.

​

It's no wonder that the Ghost Lake incident was inconspicuous at the beginning, but then the incident gradually escalated, until now, the S-level supernatural incident.

​

Boss Liu grinned: "The water is not good to drink, but melon seeds are also difficult to drink. Everything has a limit. What should happen will definitely happen, it cannot be avoided, understand? I am also unlucky, I am not old enough. If you say that you are young or not, you can live for more than ten years when you are old, and you don’t know what the world will look like in ten years.”

​

"There is no way to solve it?" Feng Quan asked.

​

"There is no cure for the root cause, but it is possible to cure the symptoms." Boss Liu reached out and took out all the melon seeds from the water glass, then took another sip of water.

​

The water in the water cup dropped, and it didn't overflow again.

​

"That's absolutely impossible." Feng Quan understood Boss Liu's method.

​

Fish out the ghosts in the ghost lake, and then reduce the ghost lake's supernatural power.

​

In this case, the time for the outbreak of this supernatural event can be delayed.

​

But even so, it was very, very difficult.

​

"So, I'll just open a store to make money safely, and keep saving the coffin book, so I won't mess around." Boss Liu shook his head and said.

​

Feng Quandao: "Is there any other way besides this? You said before that everything is sold on the ghost street. Is there any way to solve the ghost lake..."

​

However, before he could finish speaking, Boss Liu suddenly hissed, "Quiet, someone's coming from town."

​

"Ok?"

​

Feng Quan's expression moved slightly, and immediately he looked in the direction outside the gate.

​

The thick fog is dissipating.

​

It was as if a hole had opened.

​

A path for a person to pass through appeared. At this time, a lamp was lit on the street outside. A one-eyed old man with a slightly hunchback carried an oil lamp and pushed open the door and entered.

​

As soon as he came in, there was a smell of paper dust around him.

​

It's like coming back from burning paper just now.

​

"Boss Liu, why hasn't the dead person been brought out yet." The one-eyed old man said sternly.

​

"My servant died, so I delayed it for a while. I'll ship it out later." Boss Liu said hurriedly, smiling politely.

​

The one-eyed old man's pale one-eyed turned strangely, looked at Feng Quan, and then looked at the shovel in his hand: "It is rare for a person to be buried most of the way in the soil."

​

"Are you an old resident of Taiping Town?" Feng Quan's face was indifferent: "Are you also from the supernatural circle?"

​

"He lives in an inn, and he hasn't been to town." Boss Liu said at this moment.

​

The one-eyed old man didn't speak anymore, just turned around and left with the lamp in hand: "The corpse can't be left here, it has to be transported out quickly."

​

"This is luck, this is luck." Boss Liu nodded again and again.

​

The door is closed.

​

The dense fog closed, and the one-eyed old man left.

​

A dim oil lamp flickered on the street outside, and the ghost fog couldn't erode it.

​

"Don't worry, guest. Although he has a bad temper, he can only control the town. This place doesn't belong to Taiping Ancient Town. He can't control it. He just walked over to me to ask about the situation. It has nothing to do with you." Boss Liu also mentioned Stand up with a kerosene lamp.

​

"I'm going to transport those two bodies~www.readwn.com~ to help?"

​

Feng Quan's eyes moved slightly, he hesitated for a moment: "Okay."

​

The surrounding ghost fog quickly dissipated. He followed the boss Liu and walked upstairs to the hotel, preparing to move out the two unfinished corpses.

​

But he didn't want to move the body, but took this opportunity to better understand the secrets here.

​

However, Feng Quan was very worried.

​

The actions of the captains must be dangerous and unsmooth at this moment.

​

His worries were right.

​

At this moment.

​

On the ghost lake.

​

Yang Jian, Shen Lin, Li Jun, Liu San, and A Hong were standing on a small black wooden boat. The lake around them was densely filled with floating corpses.

​

None of these corpses were rotting.

​

And with the passage of time, some corpses have begun to show some unusual movements.

​

A female corpse suddenly opened her eyes, dead gray and pale.

​

A female corpse opened her mouth and let out a weird laugh, like a dream.

​

Other female corpses turned over in the water, causing a splash of water.

​

on the stern.

​

The white ghost candle has burned more than half, but it has not been extinguished.
