Chapter 196: Accident
“So from the beginning, you knew something would happen inside the village.”
Ye Zhen took a deep breath.
“Right.”
Old Hong nodded.
“You plan to use me?”
Old Hong nodded again, “Originally it was like that. I planned to keep you here and wait for the incident to happen.”
“After all, you said you couldn’t act for a short time.”
“Of course, this doesn’t really count as using you.”
“You can’t go to where your teammate is right now either.”
“But I didn’t expect the village to have an incident so quickly.”
“So fast that you didn’t even have time to recover.”
It could only be said that he wanted to use him, but hadn’t started using him yet when the incident happened.
According to his idea, once Ye Zhen recovered, he would threaten Ye Zhen with his teammate’s location to get him to help deal with the village’s danger.
In this way, achieving a win-win degree.
But change came before the plan.
Ye Zhen could be considered to understand. This old man planned to use him, but hadn’t had the chance yet.
Nothing to say.
“Old man, your plan fell through.”
“The ghost escaped, and I have no way to deal with this ghost either.”
“I know.”
Old Hong was very frank, “So, the worst outcome has now appeared.”
“I need to stay here to keep this ghost inside the village.”
“You can leave.”
Ye Zhen could leave.
The old man would also give Ye Zhen the incense to leave this village.
Without the incense, leaving the village was basically impossible.
Moreover, without the incense, one would be attacked.
Ye Zhen was a bit unhappy.
“If you’re letting me leave, tell me first where my teammate is.”
Ye Zhen said.
Old Hong shook his head.
“I’m not confident in your strength.”
“Although you say you’re stronger than those three ghost controllers, those three ghost controllers who are weaker than you were able to release the fierce ghost detained inside the village.”
“If you, who are even stronger than them, recover and release the fierce ghost inside there to save your teammate.”
“Then the outside world will face a great disaster.”
“Moreover, you might be lying to me.”
Old Hong stared at Ye Zhen.
“You’re from outside, and you have two teammates.”
“So you should be organized, but why haven’t you contacted the outside after arriving here?”
“Even if you didn’t bring a mobile phone, there are mobile phones and signal inside the village.”
“As long as you contacted the outside, I wouldn’t suspect you.”
Ye Zhen was dumbfounded.
He blinked his eyes and fell silent.
Right, why hadn’t he contacted A Wu?
Have A Wu send people over, or contact the Desolate Club and circle of friends.
With three forces sending people, this place could definitely be handled.
“Can we still contact the outside now?”
Ye Zhen hurriedly asked.
Old Hong frowned slightly and looked at Ye Zhen.
After hesitating for a moment, he took out his mobile phone and checked it.
It was an old person’s phone.
Could only make calls, not access the internet.
“No signal.”
Ye Zhen fell completely silent.
Seeing Ye Zhen silent, the old man also fell silent.
……
“Villagers reported that a supernatural event appeared in Hong Long Village.”
“Hong Long Village?”
The electric scooter came to an abrupt stop.
A young person in his twenties stopped the vehicle and took off his helmet with Meituan printed on it.
“I remember that place has had ghosts multiple times, but every time I went, there was no substantial discovery.”
“But this time it’s real.”
“People have already died.”
“People died?”
“Got it.”
“I still have five orders. Wait until I finish delivering them.”
“Huo Tan! It’s this time, and you’re still delivering your damn takeout!”
“Hey, it’s fine. I’m very fast, at most one minute.”
“Alright, that’s it. I have to make sure no customer starves to death on my watch!”
Huo Tan hung up the phone and put on his helmet.
He got on the electric scooter.
In the blink of an eye, he disappeared from the spot.
At this moment, in Da Xiang City, city center, inside a high-rise building.
An operator slammed the earphones onto the ground.
“Huo Tan, just you wait. When you get back, I’ll fix you up, you brat!”
“Sister Huo, Detective Huo is delivering takeout again?”
A girl next to her cautiously asked.
“Damn it, I don’t even know what takeout is worth delivering!”
Hearing Sister Huo’s complaints, the girl didn’t know what to say and could only smile.
Perhaps everyone has their own hobbies.
“We can’t get out. We’re trapped in the ghost domain.”
The two who had already left the village now appeared inside the village.
Curly Hair looked around, his face becoming extremely grave.
“I knew this wouldn’t be that easy.”
The man was very calm, “Hide. This place is remote, but it still belongs to Da Xiang City.”
“It won’t be long before this incident blows up.”
“Da Xiang City’s person in charge will definitely come to handle it.”
The man spoke very relaxedly.
Curly Hair nodded, “We can only do that, but we have to be careful. The people in charge don’t have good tempers.”
“If we run into them, we’ll be in great danger.”
The man sighed, “I don’t know what’s been going on lately, but the city people in charge are getting stronger one by one.”
“It wasn’t like this before.”
“Headquarters might be developing well.”
Curly Hair guessed.
The previous city people in charge were basically ghost controllers who controlled one ghost.
Limited strength, and they might need headquarters support when encountering supernatural events.
But now, it seemed different.
Extremely strong.
They messengers were originally five people.
Three arrived here.
Now down to two.
The previous two didn’t die because of the mission.
But because of a conflict with a city’s person in charge while delivering a letter.
They were directly taken out.
If the three of them hadn’t run fast enough, they might have been taken out too.
The opponent was just one person.
One person charged at their five ghost controllers and took out two.
If that person in charge hadn’t wanted to chase, they might all have died.
“Never mind that. Let’s hide first.”
The two stayed vigilant of their surroundings, planning to find a place to hide.
“How long can one stick of incense hold up?”
Ye Zhen followed Old Hong to the living area.
“If there are ghosts around, about fifteen minutes.”
“But if attacked by a ghost, it can only hold up once.”
As Old Hong spoke, his foot suddenly gave way, and his whole body sank downward.
Ye Zhen was quick-eyed and quick-handed, grabbing Old Hong and swiftly retreating.
Crash~!
The ground under their feet collapsed, revealing the rebar below.
Old Hong swallowed, “How did this road collapse?”
Ye Zhen saw the collapsed ground.
“Aging…”
Ye Zhen, who originally wanted to say the road surface had aged, suddenly saw the incense in Old Hong’s hand burning rapidly.
In just a moment, it had burned to the end.
Seeing this, Ye Zhen’s pupils shrank slightly.
“The incense!”
Old Hong abruptly looked at the incense in his hand, his face immediately darkening.
He hurriedly took out another stick of incense and lit it.
“Just now…”
Ye Zhen nodded, “We were attacked by a ghost.”
“I now understand what you meant by accident.”
Looking at the exposed rebar, Old Hong felt endless fear. If he had fallen just now, he definitely would have died!
