Chapter 367 Videotape


Chapter 367 Videotape

Sun Hang quickly reached the end of the underground commercial street. Beyond that, there was another elevator leading to the ground and the entrance and exit of the underground parking lot.

Sun Hang glanced at the underground parking lot. What surprised him was that there were still many dusty cars parked in the parking lot at this time - the number of private cars in Tianfu City had already far exceeded the parking spaces in the city. On weekdays, the non-motorized lanes on both sides of the road are often filled with motor vehicles. Sun Hang estimated that these vehicles were not abandoned here by their owners, but that they really could not find a place to park.

The windows of several valuable luxury cars had been smashed. On the contrary, those cars costing around 100,000 yuan were spared. Broken window glass could be seen everywhere on the ground of the parking lot.

"No...is there any more..." Sun Hang muttered to himself.

"What?" The scavenger following behind asked in confusion, "You mean...that person?"

"I can't smell anything strange... Whether it's in the underground commercial street or the parking lot... it's too clean here... It shouldn't be..." Sun Hang muttered.

"The smell of strange things? Do strange things still smell?" The scavenger asked with fear and curiosity, "Is it the smell of putridity? Or the smell of blood?"

"To be precise, it is not a smell that can be smelled with the nose, but a smell that only the infected can detect." Sun Hang said, "Any strange thing will emit such a smell, even if it is disguised No matter how good your ability is, as long as you are close enough, some breath will escape... This is almost inevitable."

"That breathless consciousness... there are no strange things in the shopping mall underground?" the scavenger asked tentatively.

"I can only confirm that there is a strange thing entrenched in the shopping mall, but I'm not sure where it is." Sun Hang shook his head, "If we met the scavenger who was monopolizing this place when we came in, I might think that The strange things are hiding in other places... But now, don’t you think we have encountered too many strange things?”

As Sun Hang spoke, his eyes fell on the fire ax in the opponent's hand.

"Then...then...is there that kind of...that is...a strange thing without any breath?" the scavenger asked again.

"Yes." Sun Hang nodded, "But my intuition tells me that this one is not."

"Intuition?" The scavenger was stunned for a moment, "You...do you still believe in intuition?"

"Why don't you believe it? Intuition is so easy to use." Sun Hang couldn't tell her that he had just used the ability to make his wishes come true again, burning half a piece of blue in one breath, but got nothing, right?

"By the way, there are two floors underground in the shopping mall, and there is another floor below..." The scavenger regretted just after she said it. She suddenly realized that if she didn't tell the hunter that there was another floor below, he might Will you choose to give up?

Then what will he do with himself in the future? Shouldn't he hand himself over to the Public Security Bureau or the Investigation Bureau?

But thinking about it carefully, that ending seems to be better than facing the monster... At least, they have to act in accordance with the rules and regulations... Even if they have broken the law, they should not be punished by death...


If the arrow just shot at the hunter doesn't count...

"I know, this is not the passage I am looking for." Sun Hang stood at the entrance of the parking lot and looked up at the floor plan of the underground commercial street hanging on the wall.

The scavenger let out a sigh of relief.

There are two entrances to the second underground floor, one of which is right next to the elevator. However, on this floor plan, the words "no entry" are marked in eye-catching red fonts.

"The second underground floor is the equipment room and power distribution room. There is nothing of value..." the scavenger whispered. "In the past, those machines could be sold for a lot of money if they were dismantled and the parts were sold as scrap metal... But Nowadays, buyers don’t want these things at all. They only accept items that are light, small, and of high value...Things like watches and jewelry are the best to sell.”

"Have you been there?" Sun Hang glanced back at her.

"No... I just heard other scavengers discussing this matter." The scavenger said, "One of us used to work as a security guard in this shopping mall, and he is very familiar with the situation here. This matter That’s what he told us.”

"Oh? Then this security guard, has he been underground since he became a scavenger?"

"I don't know...but he also disappeared later, and I don't know where he went." The scavenger said, "Some people also said that he was killed by a monster underground in the mall..."

"Tsk... interesting." Sun Hang walked to the entrance and cut off the thumb-thick iron lock wrapped around the door handle with a single stroke of the metal flying blade.

With the dull sound of heavy locks falling to the ground, Sun Hang kicked the door open, and a stream of air with choking dust suddenly hit his face.

Sun Hang took a flashlight and looked in. Behind the door was a staircase going down. In the space on both sides of the staircase, there were a lot of shopping mall promotional materials piled up. A huge lottery turntable was tilted on the staircase. Most of the passage was blocked.

"Let's go."

Sun Hang kicked the lottery turntable into the gap between the stairs and the wall with his feet - although this thing was big, it was made of plastic foam, and its weight was almost negligible.

Sun Hang thought for a while and threw the flashlight to the scavengers.

After inheriting part of the black dragon meme from Wang Xiyi, Sun Hang gained the ability of dark vision. Even without a flashlight, he could see clearly what was going on around him.

"Where... do you want me to shine?" The scavenger took the flashlight - the flashlight Sun Hang carried was taken from the field department. It is standard military equipment. Its brightness and battery life are better than the ordinary civilian products that the scavenger originally had. Take out a lot.

"Just follow your own feet, don't step on the ground and roll down." Sun Hang said.

"You...don't you need a flashlight?"

"No need, I can see."

As he spoke, Sun Hang had already descended to the bottom of the stairs. In front of him was a rusty iron door - this door did not have a lock, but it had a yellowed A4 letter on it. It was written in orange typeface: "The computer room is an important place, and idlers are not allowed to enter."

Sun Hang ignored the warning signs and pushed open the rusty iron door.

The smell of a computer room instantly entered his nose.

This is a smell that is a mixture of ozone, rosin and the smell emitted by the PCB board after it is heated... Many people don't like this smell, but I don't know why Sun Hang smelled it but it was okay and not that unpleasant. Unbearable.

"Is it possible that I used to be a machine operator? I'm used to this smell?" Sun Hang muttered in his heart.

The space in the computer room is very spacious, and many expensive-looking equipment are fixed on welded metal brackets. A large number of cables are bundled, like a giant python, wandering between the machines.

There is no smell of any strange thing yet.

But before the two of them took a few steps forward, they saw a pool of dark black blood on the ground.

The scavenger's whole body tensed up. She was holding the flashlight in one hand and the fire ax tightly in her other hand.

Sun Hang squatted down and inspected it carefully.

"This time there is real blood." Sun Hang said.

"Is...is there really something strange here?" the scavenger asked timidly in a very low voice.

"I didn't feel the breath of the monster... The amount of bleeding was not small. It was probably a human life." Sun Hang said, "But don't forget, it's not necessarily the monster that kills people, people can kill people too."


"Huh?"

"Have there never been any fights among you scavengers due to snatching of loot or uneven distribution of spoils?" Sun Hang tilted his head, "Didn't you also say that you have killed someone yourself?" "I... ...I have never killed...I just want to scare you...to make you leave..." The scavenger honestly confessed, "I always act alone...When I meet other scavengers, I will stay away. Avoid..."

Sun Hang did not continue the joke, but took three steps and two steps at a time, walked to a pile of cables, and picked up a shoe from the ground.

This is a size 43 sneaker, made by Hook brand. Sun Hang can't tell the specific model. The color was originally white, but due to aging and stains, it has now turned into light beige. The upper part is very worn. Amazing, you can already see the padding in the lining.

"Are these that guy's shoes?" Sun Hang raised his shoes and shook them at the scavengers.

"I really don't know...I haven't paid attention to what shoes he is wearing..."

"Actually, it's easy to judge." Sun Hang turned his shoes over. The pattern on the soles exactly matched the footprints he had seen in the underground commercial street before, and there was still some syrup that had not been rubbed away in the gaps between the patterns.

"All the shoes have fallen off. It seems that the person is hopeless." Sun Hang said.

"He... was he killed?"

"Let's look for it. Maybe the body is hidden in a corner of the computer room." Sun Hang said, "You search this row, and I'll search the other side."

"I...can I look for it with you?" The scavenger obviously didn't want to separate from Sun Hang.

"Are you scared?"

Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!

The scavenger nodded.

"Oh, okay, follow closely."

It took almost twenty minutes for the two of them to search every corner of the computer room.

There were no strange objects or corpses, but instead a lot of blood stains were found.

It's a pity that Sun Hang didn't have any testing equipment at hand, so he couldn't determine whether these blood stains belonged to the same person.

As for "Wishes Come True" - searching for the whereabouts of monsters has consumed a lot of mana bars. Facing the possible battle that will happen next, Sun Hang feels that it is best not to activate his abilities at will.

Even if the ownership of these blood stains is known, it will not be of any substantial help to the subsequent search operations.

"The shoes were dropped here, and there are blood stains on the ground...but no footprints...do you know what this means?" Sun Hang turned to look at the scavengers and asked.

"What does it mean?"

"It means that the guy may have been a corpse before he came here... He didn't walk in by himself, but was dragged in by something." Sun Hang said, "Considering that he left the ax in On the street...I can basically confirm that this is not the scene of the first crime.”

"Then these bloodstains..."

"The murderer dismembered the body or ate him here...the blood stains seemed to be sprayed directly from the body, and there were no obvious drag marks, so it can be concluded that before coming here, his The corpse...or his body should be relatively 'complete'."

"Then the murderer is still hiding here, right?" The scavenger shrank his neck and looked around carefully.

"Go back." Sun Hang suddenly said.

"Where to go back? Up there?"

"Go back to the stores that were raided just now." Sun Hang said.

"Okay... okay!" The scavenger nodded vigorously - for her, as long as she didn't stay here, she could go anywhere.

……

The two quickly returned to the underground commercial street, and Sun Hang walked into the two-dimensional fashion store again and inspected the figures that had been turned over and played with one by one.

Nothing was found.

He walked into the video store again and picked up the video tape box thrown next to the TV and the video tapes on the ground one by one.

All the video tapes have matching boxes, except for one video tape box of a thriller and suspense movie that is empty.

Sun Hang turned on the player next to the TV, and sure enough, the movie was inside.

The name of the movie is "Terror Cruise".

Sun Hang fell into deep thought.

After half a minute, he stood up and walked to the commercial street management office at the corner of the street, and pulled out a spare gasoline generator from inside.

He pushed the generator next to the TV, connected the generator and the TV with a power strip, and then started pouring gasoline into the generator.

"You...what are you doing?" The scavenger who had been watching Sun Hang busy asked in confusion.

"I want to see what movies that guy watched before he was alive." After saying that, Sun Hang started the generator.

There was a dull engine sound.

"But, but...this TV is broken...ah?!"

As the power indicator light came on, a distorted picture appeared on the TV screen that had been punched with a big hole... Unfortunately, the audio equipment of the TV seemed to be completely broken. Sun Hang could only see the picture, but No sound can be heard.

"Have you seen "Cruise of Terror"?" Sun Hang asked.

The scavenger shook his head.

Sun Hang read the introduction on the back of the video tape box. This movie tells the story of the heroine and her group of people who boarded a mysterious abandoned cruise ship by chance. As a result, they encountered various kinds of people on this "empty" cruise ship. Something weird and terrifying.

The most exciting part of this movie is that there are multiple timelines on the cruise ship, and there are different heroines in each timeline. They kill their companions and themselves again and again in the endlessly looping timeline. The plot, but still can't escape...

At this moment, Sun Hang suddenly felt an extremely strong strange aura coming from the underground, but this aura was fleeting and disappeared completely, as if it had never appeared before.

"Huh?" Sun Hang frowned, "No, it's not an illusion."

[P.S. I wish everyone a happy New Year. 】
