Chapter 267 Shop during the Republic of China!
Su Mubai followed Zhang Tao, crossed the cordon and walked towards the depths of Jinchai Road, intending to check the bodies of the deceased, hoping to find some useful clues.
As a famous commercial pedestrian street in Dajing City, Jinchai Road is naturally very prosperous. There are various shops on both sides of the road.
There are those selling delicacies and snacks, some selling clothing, some selling electronic products, some selling fruits, and some selling tobacco, alcohol and department stores...
However, at this time, Jin Chai The road is no longer as bustling as it used to be. After the people were evacuated, all the shops on both sides of the road were closed.
Tap, tap, tap!
Only the footsteps of Su Mubai and Zhang Tao echoed in the entire street, which seemed extremely deserted.
If it were other ordinary people walking on this street where a supernatural incident had just occurred, they might feel a little scared.
But this definitely did not include Su Mubai. Even Zhang Tao, who was leading the way, had a calm face and did not show the slightest fear.
“How far away?”
Su Mubai looked around as he walked. In his opinion, there seemed to be nothing wrong with this street. There was no trace of supernatural power at all.
This is very, very strange.
It stands to reason that given Su Mubai's current level of terror, he would definitely be able to detect if there were any evil spirits around him at the first opportunity.
Even if Li Gui can be "invisible", as long as he is still on this street, Su Mubai should be able to sense it even if he cannot find the exact location.
It’s not just Su Mubai.
Even many ghost masters have similar abilities. For example, whether there are ghosts in a place can be determined almost instantly.
Although it is not ruled out that there may be mistakes, most of them are still accurate. And based on Su Mubai's current level of terror, the chance of mistakes is very close to zero.
Hearing this, Zhang Tao, who was leading the way, immediately said: "Come on, it's at the department store ahead. That's where the incident occurred, and the last person who died was also in that supermarket."
While speaking, Zhang Tao quickened his pace again, and then took Su Mubai to the entrance of a supermarket called "Chaoyang Shopping".
“This is the supermarket. The bodies of all the deceased are almost at the place where they died. In order to protect the traces of the scene, no one has touched those places except the few police officers who came at the beginning. The body of the deceased."
Zhang Tao pointed to the shopping mall in front of him and said to Su Mubai behind him.
While speaking, Zhang Tao's calm face also showed a hint of fear. It seemed that even headquarters staff like him were also afraid of the haunted supermarket in front of him.
But it’s no wonder.
After all, Zhang Tao is different from Su Mubai. In the final analysis, he is just an ordinary person, not even a ghost controller, and has no ability to resist when facing powerful ghosts. I can only leave it to fate.
As for Zhang Tao's extremely calm behavior when he was walking on the street before, that was because he knew that all the fatal cases occurred in this supermarket called "Chaoyang Shopping".
From beginning to end, no one died on the street outside the supermarket. It was obviously a "safe area", so Zhang Tao seemed unusually calm before.
…………
In fact, without Zhang Tao’s introduction, Su Mubai immediately discovered the anomalies in the supermarket in front of him, especially the bodies lying on the ground inside the supermarket. corpse.
Compared to the dozens, hundreds, or even more deaths in other supernatural events, the number of corpses in the supermarket is really not that many, probably less than ten at a glance.
"Okay, your mission is completed. You can't help with the rest, so just retreat outside the cordon first."
After looking at the corpse on the supermarket floor for a few times, Su Mubai withdrew his gaze, and then said to Zhang Tao standing aside.
After saying that, Su Mubai walked directly into the supermarket without waiting for Zhang Tao's response.
"Okay." Zhang Tao responded, then turned around and left.
He knew that with his ability, he would be a burden if he stayed and would not be able to help Su Mubai at all, so he did not say anything about staying to help Su Mubai.
“Huh?”
However, the moment Zhang Tao turned around, he saw an extremely strange scene.
From his perspective, the moment Su Mubai stepped into the supermarket door, he disappeared out of thin air without leaving any trace.
Not only that.
Even the corpses lying on the ground in the supermarket disappeared together, as if everything before was an illusion.
“Holy shit!”
Seeing this strange scene, Zhang Tao didn't hesitate at all, turned around and ran away, running towards the outside of Jinchai Road at the fastest sprint speed of 100 meters in his life.
As for the disappeared Su Mubai, Zhang Tao had long forgotten about him. Under such circumstances, he could not care about others.
As a staff member of the Ghost Controller Headquarters, Zhang Tao knows very well.
Although the evil ghost has not appeared yet, supernatural phenomena have appeared, which proves that there must be ghosts around. If he continues to stay, there is a high chance that he will be targeted and attacked by the evil ghost.
Outside the cordon.
Several staff members who were standing guard at the headquarters looked at Zhang Tao who was running quickly with puzzled faces. Among them, the young man named Xiao Lin even asked out of curiosity:
"Captain, you ran away." What are you doing so quickly? Why didn’t the person in charge named Su Mubai come out with you?”
It wasn’t until this moment that Zhang Tao came back to his senses and thought of disappearing. I found Sumubai in the supermarket.
"The people in charge are all ghost masters, so they shouldn't die so easily, right?" Zhang Tao's expression moved slightly, and he secretly guessed in his heart.
Zhang Tao doesn’t know Su Mubai’s strength.
After all, for him, Su Mubai is a city leader who "just took office". Zhang Tao has never even heard of the name Su Mubai before, so at this moment, he is not sure whether Su Mubai can handle the supermarket. That fierce ghost in there.
(Ps: I would like to emphasize that, logically speaking, Zhang Tao and the others should respectfully call Su Mubai "Police Officer Su", but I am afraid of 404, so I have never dared to write it. For the time being, I plan to use "Mr. Su". Instead, you can use "Su Team" after becoming the captain)
After thinking for a moment, Zhang Tao said: "Mr. Su was still inside, and Li Gui appeared. Mr. Su planned to imprison Li Gui, but I couldn't play any role there, so I came out first."
"Oh, that's it. "
Other staff members did not doubt him, and they all nodded after listening to Zhang Tao's words.
"By the way, Captain, is that Mr. Su good? Who is more powerful than the previous person in charge?" Xiao Lin's curiosity got the better of him again and he asked the question in his mind.
Not only him, but also the surrounding staff looked at Zhang Tao with curious faces. Obviously everyone had the same question in their hearts.
Hearing this, Zhang Tao glared at Xiao Lin and said angrily: "Ask me, who should I ask? Why don't you go ask him after Mr. Su has finished dealing with the evil ghost and comes out? He is as good as the previous person in charge, what do you think?”
Hearing Xiaolin’s question, Zhang Tao also reacted.
Since Su Mubai can become one of the leaders of Dajing City, his own strength should be relatively strong among the ghost controllers.
In this case, in Zhang Tao's opinion, the possibility of Su Mubai successfully dealing with the evil ghost in the supermarket should be high. Even if he failed to imprison the evil ghost in the end, there should be a way to evacuate him.
After thinking about this, Zhang Tao couldn't help but want to laugh at his previous self.
As an ordinary person, how can I be embarrassed to worry about the safety of a powerful ghost controller? If I should be worried, I should be worried about myself.
"Hehe, I'm just a little curious. Since you don't know, captain, let's forget it." Xiao Lin smiled flatteringly, covering up his embarrassment.
Let him ask the person in charge who just took office or the previous person in charge who is more powerful? Isn’t that just asking for trouble!
Although Xiao Lin is more curious, it does not mean that he is stupid. He can just ask the captain of his team these questions. If he really asks Su Mubai himself, it would be called ignorant.
Zhang Tao knew Xiao Lin's urine, so he didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he turned around and looked into the depths of Jinchai Road, his face gradually becoming serious.
Because of the distance.
Standing outside the cordon, he could not see the current scene of the supermarket, so he could only secretly pray in his heart that Su Mubai could successfully imprison the evil ghost in the supermarket!
At the same time.
other side.
The moment Su Mubai walked into the "Chaoyang Shopping" supermarket, he found himself in a place that looked extremely strange.
This is a store, but it is not the "Chaoyang Shopping" supermarket that Su Mubai entered before. It is a store that looks quite old.
The space of the store is not large, only one-third the size of the previous Chaoyang Supermarket, and the shelves and counters used to display items in the store are all made of wood.
To be honest, Su Mubai was not sure whether this was a store or not.
Because if it wasn't, there were several rows of shelves in the room used to display goods, but if it was a store, those shelves were empty, and there wasn't a single product for sale.
Or is this itself a store dedicated to selling shelves?
"Strange, this shop is not a manifestation of the ghost realm, so what does it rely on to exist?"
The dark mist as black as ink came from Su Mubai's It surged out of the body and filled the entire store almost instantly.
In his perception, this old shop was not a ghost land, which indirectly overturned a conjecture in his heart.
Just now.
Su Mubai also believed that this store was just a manifestation of the ghost realm and a supernatural place that invaded reality. The point of overlap with the real world was the supermarket called "Chaoyang Shopping" among.
Because only in this way can he explain his own experience. However, at this time, this guess was overturned by Su Mubai.
In his perception, there were no traces of other ghost realms around him.
This means that at this moment, Su Mubai did not walk into the ghost realm of other ghosts, but inexplicably came to such a shop that was full of weirdness.
The most important thing is.
Su Mubai did not detect any traces of supernatural power in this store, which was the most incomprehensible thing to him.
As long as he could feel a trace of supernatural power, he would not have walked into such a weird place unprepared before.
“This old shop is like a completely enclosed space. It is extremely weird. Looking at the decoration in this shop, it seems that it is at least a few decades ago, or even earlier. , maybe it can be traced back to the Republic of China..."
Although Su Mubai did not feel the slightest trace of supernatural power in this shop, his ghost realm was trapped inside, dark After the ink-like mist filled the entire store, it could not penetrate outside the store.
Moreover, the door of the store is also closed, like a completely enclosed space.
The heavy wooden doors and walls were like a seal, directly cutting off everything. Su Mubai could not perceive anything from the outside world.
It is precisely because of this.
The environment in the store was pitch black, no light could shine in, and the old store did not have any lighting tools.
Fortunately, the ordinary dark environment is not much different from daytime to Su Mubai, and it cannot affect his vision at all.
In addition, even the satellite positioning mobile phone signal was blocked. Su Mubai took a glance and saw that there was no signal.
"It is obviously just an ordinary wooden door, and there is no trace of the supernatural, but it can block the penetration of the supernatural like gold. It is really weird!"
After thinking for a moment.
Su Mubai stepped forward and walked to the closed wooden door of the shop, then grabbed the threshold with his hand, trying to see if he could open the wooden door.
To be honest, he was also interested in the scene outside the store at this time.
His intuition told him that the outside of this old shop was probably not the real world, but an extremely weird and supernatural place!
"Huh?"
The wooden door in front of Su Mubai did not have a latch, but no matter whether he pushed it outward or pulled it in, the heavy wooden door remained motionless, as if directly It's like being welded to death.
"The normal door opening method cannot be opened, so what if I smash it hard? Can I just smash it open?"
Su Mubai's eyes moved slightly and he glanced at all the items in the store. , and finally set his sights on the counter not far from him.
It was a wooden counter that had been there for a very long time. It was mottled and had even begun to rot in many places.
Judging from the location of the counter, it should be where the previous owner of this store used to check out.
Counters like this can still be seen in small rural stores in the real world, but they are almost non-existent in cities.
The size of the counter is not too small, and the weight is not too light either. It weighs dozens of kilograms. If it can be picked up, it can definitely be regarded as an artifact for breaking doors, even if it is smaller than It's not as good as a professional door-breaking tool, but it's more reliable than kicking.
“Crack!”
Su Mubai has always been an activist.
In an instant, he came to the edge of the counter, stretched out his arms to hug both sides of the counter, and then directly hugged the counter.
To him, items weighing dozens of kilograms are almost the same as items weighing several kilograms!
I didn’t sleep well last night. I was really sleepy when I was typing tonight. I felt like dozing off after dinner. I struggled to finish writing, so this chapter is in a slightly bad state.
