Chapter 90 Floating
The manor is brightly lit, but the layout is indeed a bit crude, with almost no furniture.
It is said that the Jing family planned to buy their own furniture, so the huge house was empty.
This provided great convenience for Li Yelai and the others to find the missing persons.
"Detective, I leave it to you." Li Yelai said as he walked at the front carrying a big black umbrella. Now, Li Yelai is a third-level psychic. His physique is higher than that of the same level, and he has strong defense capabilities. Naturally, you have to be at the forefront to defend your teammates from possible threats.
Although the detective is not strong, his psychic abilities are not offensive. But when it comes to finding clues, he's second to none.
I am a private detective, with attention to details, quick thinking and reaction, plus the ability of the spiritual eye path. He has strong auxiliary means, which is one of the reasons why Li Yelai invited him to join.
"I know, I've been watching it." The detective's eyes flickered, obviously turning on the ability to track traces. He looked deep into the manor: "I didn't see any footprints coming up. They should all be still down there."
"All down there?" Li Yelai asked.
"There is a cellar under this manor. That is where the so-called undead people were seen. The space is not small. Please be careful." Cheese looked at the map of the manor for a while and then said: "Just in case, The detective stayed on the first floor to respond, and Ye Jiang and I went down to look for someone.”
There are now three psykers in the team. Two of them are third-level psionic beings with higher psychic resistance and are less likely to be attacked.
At present, I am still a detective, so staying on the first floor to monitor and respond is the best plan.
This is to ensure that if the worst happens, after Li Yelai and Cheese are trapped, there will still be someone who can call for support.
Of course, this probability is very low. But one has to be careful.
"Okay, if an unexpected situation occurs, I will fire a warning shot and notify the branch for support." The detective nodded in agreement and took out a large-caliber revolver: "You must be careful, if There is something really weird, it’s best to exit first and wait for support.”
The two of them nodded and walked into the cellar one after another.
Compared to the brightly lit upper floors, the light in the cellar is much darker.
The huge cellar was illuminated only by a few dysprosium lamps, but obvious footprints could be seen on the dusty floor.
This allowed Li Yelai and Cheese to clearly see the movements of those people, and they moved closer to the rooms deeper in the cellar.
And there is the place where the original homeowner’s grandfather died.
Li Yelai and Cheese looked at each other silently, and then followed the footsteps one after the other.
Soon, the two heard talking not far away.
"I have money now and a stable job. Our life will definitely get better and better. I know you will not abandon me. When I take you out, we will buy a big house." Someone said , seemed to be a middle-aged man. His voice was filled with fantasy and longing for the future, but in the end it turned into a painful murmur: "I regret it so much. I shouldn't have left you at home at that time."
"It's okay, I always have. Yes." A clear voice responded, with a hint of illusion in it. But you can tell it's a woman.
This made Li Yelai and Cheese's expressions change. According to the intelligence, there were no women among the employees who escaped this time and the scavenger guards who came to take them away.
Is this the so-called undead?
The two approached quietly and saw an employee having a close conversation with a vague figure at a corner of the cellar.
He was about forty years old, his face was a little pale, and there was a cry in his voice, but he was also excited about regaining something.
In front of him was a young woman with a somewhat unreal figure. She was softly comforting the man. If one ignored the age gap between the two, judging from the conversation, the two seemed like they had not seen each other for a long time. lovers.
“Are there really undead?” Li Yelai and Cheese were a little shocked and wary.
The illusory figure of the woman is obviously not human.
"What should I do? Use your ability to take him away by force?" Li Yelai asked in a low voice.
"It's not good. If you intervene rashly, there may be other consequences. Let's communicate verbally first and see if you can take him away. Or get some other information." Cheese took out a stick from his arms. Soft Whip said: "But first make sure that the woman is in danger."
"Can your whip work?" Li Yelai asked in a low voice.
"It is a psychic weapon containing a mysterious substance that controls the path of the gods. It may not be very powerful, but it can still tie people up." Cheese responded.
Then, the two began to approach slowly, but unexpectedly, they didn't speak yet.
The middle-aged man suddenly looked back at Li Yelai and Cheese, glaring angrily: "Who are you?"
The illusory woman looked at the two of them calmly. , there seems to be no surprise.
"Your boss asked me to call you back." Li Yelai pointed the big black umbrella at the illusory woman and said: "Go back quickly, the boss is going to pay wages."
< br>The middle-aged man was startled and looked suspicious: "Salary, but I have never seen you."
Li Yelai tried his best not to irritate the middle-aged man's nerves, but continued: "Go back now, it's so late. Come see her next time."
The middle-aged man was furious: "Don't want us to Separate!"
"Okay, don't separate. Then leave here together?" Li Yelai continued: "This is not a good place for a date."
The middle-aged man frowned. He said with some hesitation: "But she can't...can't leave here"
"Then what should we do? You always have to eat, drink and poop, right? Do you want to solve it here?" Li Yelai pointed here. Dirty and messy environment, he continued to ask. He approached the middle-aged man and said: "Go back first and come back after you have rested.
Look at you, your clothes are dirty and your hair is messed up. Your face is still so bad. Why don't you go back and tidy up tomorrow? Come back for a date full of energy. You don’t want to appear in front of her in such a mess, right?”
The middle-aged man seemed a little moved.
At this time, the woman hiding behind him suddenly said: "Are you going to leave me? Again."
What tea talk? Li Yelai and Cheese's expressions froze.
“No no!”
The middle-aged man seemed to be suddenly alert. He pulled out a steel pipe from the pile of debris on the side, pointed it at Li Yelai and said, "You just want to separate me from her! What peace of mind do you have? Why do you do this to me?" ? I finally found her! No one can separate us!"
"Calm down, calm down!" Li Yelai held up the big black umbrella in front of him and continued: "Don't be impulsive, you don't want to. It’s okay to go, we won’t force you, please calm down first.”
The middle-aged man’s attitude softened a little, and he muttered: “No one can separate us.”
Li Yelai took a step closer and asked: "Then can you tell us where the others are?"
"Others?" The middle-aged man looked confused: "I don't know. It seems. Is there anyone? No, where have they gone?”
It seems that they have been under some kind of emotional influence, and even their thinking has loopholes.
Cheese reached out and patted Li Yelai gently, indicating that he was about to use his ability. Li Yelai stared at the woman, holding the black umbrella in his hand ready to go. In case the other party suddenly becomes violent.
The next moment, Cheese said: "[Listen to me], think clearly!"
In an instant, the middle-aged man's eyes turned clear, and from a certain escape from this influence.
At the same time, Cheese suddenly stretched out his hand, and the soft whip on his right hand stretched out like a snake, wrapped around the middle-aged man's waist, and pulled him aside with a sudden tug.
Li Yelai, holding a black umbrella, quickly rushed between the middle-aged man and the woman. Once the woman made any move, the hot melt would be released.
However, the woman was indifferent to this and just looked at the middle-aged man with some nostalgia.
There is no plan to attack.
But the middle-aged man shouted in horror: "Don't hurt her, please, I can give you anything, don't hurt her!"
This made Li Yelai and Cheese feel a little bit confused. I was surprised. The middle-aged man was in a trance because he was affected by some kind of force before, so he didn't even notice the strangeness of the woman.
Now that things have returned to normal, why is this still happening?
“Don’t you know she is not a human being?” Li Yelai was always wary of women and said, “She has no shadow! Look at your face, she is hurting you!”
The woman's figure is illusory and vague, and she is not human at first glance. And there's not even a shadow.
"I know, I know everything! I knew she was not human the first time I saw her." The middle-aged man struggled to break free of the soft whip, but was powerless. I could only reach out and grab the corner of Li Yelai's clothes and shout: "But I really want to see her. Only by looking at her can I feel that she is still alive and back to me. Please, don't hurt her! Please, please." ! ”
He yelled at the top of his lungs, and his pale face became even more ugly.
He knew that the other party was not a human being, but some kind of existence that destroyed his life.
But he didn't care, he just wanted to continue seeing her and pursue the illusory comfort. He was actively influenced by the other party!
Are those affected employees all because of this?
But in this case, he must be taken away.
So, after eating a piece of candy, Cheese said quickly: "[Listen to me], fall into a deep sleep!"
The next second, the middle-aged man who was already in a very bad state fell over and sleep.
The woman's face turned gloomy after she fell asleep in middle age.
"Why? He wants to stay here and reunite with me. Why do you want to meddle in his own business?" The woman looked at Li Yelai and Cheese coldly: "You also want to disturb us. Reunion?"
"Reunion?" Li Yelai sneered: "How dare a fake guy wearing human skin dare to mention this?"
He decisively stabbed out the big black umbrella. Although the big black umbrella had been transformed into a melt gun, it was made of hard material and was very heavy. The equipment department had confirmed that it could be used as a melee weapon. Broken warranty.
Li Yelai wanted to catch this woman first and torture her to get more information.
However, the woman disappeared without a trace the moment she was hit.
Li Yelai has no hitting touch at all.
The two men immediately looked around cautiously.
"It's a bit troublesome. The so-called undead are actually something that affects people's minds and destroys their vitality." Cheese said.
"We have to find the other people as soon as possible. We can't let them stay here. Please ask for support from the branch." Li Yelai responded quickly, picked up the middle-aged man and walked towards the stairs.
Save one first.
However, when the two of them were about to return to the stairs, they heard a girl's laughter.
"Xiaoya, you have grown up a lot. Now you can also stand alone." A girl wearing a black windbreaker with light armored shoulder pads suddenly appeared beside the two of them.
She is pretty and has a short ponytail. Paired with that outfit, he has a sassy temperament.
The black robe that never closes at night?
Reinforcements? wrong! This is ‘undead’!
Li Yelai suddenly stopped and pointed the big black umbrella in his hand at the girl.
But Cheese's face was a little weird. She looked at the girl with a little nostalgia in her eyes: "Okay, I guessed it more or less. If it is really possible to summon the undead, I should be able to see it. You. Sister Xiaoqi, long time no see.”
Sister Xiaoqi? Uncle Cheese's daughter?
Li Yelai's heart moved. Knowing the identity of the ‘undead’ in front of me.
This time, the ‘undead’ that appeared was Cheese’s cousin, the member of the Night Club who had sacrificed her life several years ago, floating!
No wonder he is wearing a black standard coat that never closes at night!
“It’s been such a long time since we last seen each other. How many years, five years?” A slight smile appeared on ‘Fuyou’’s face: “You have grown so big.”
She looked at Cheese's chest, and couldn't help showing a slightly annoyed expression: "Tsk, it's too big in places that shouldn't be big. It's really annoying."
Then, her eyes looked at the person beside Cheese. Li Yelai had a teasing look in his eyes: "Hey, this handsome guy is your boyfriend, right? He looks really handsome. Come on, try calling me auntie?"
Li Yelai didn't respond, but He took out the summoning bell and shook it gently.
Soon, the double-sword knight appeared. Kneel down on one knee beside Li Yelai.
"Take him out and hand him over to the detective." Li Yelai handed the middle-aged man on his shoulder to the double-sword knight.
At the same time, his eyes were fixed on 'Floating'. If 'Floating' makes any move, Li Yelai will treat her to a hot melt.
Fortunately, until the knight with two swords carried the middle-aged man up the stairs, 'Floating' did not act rashly.
But with a meaningful smile: "Xiaoya, don't you plan to get close to your sister when you see her?"
"Cheese!" Li Yelai reminded in a low voice.
"I know." Cheese responded with a faint smile: "But, the pretending is really similar. The words are also not serious."
"Pretending?" 'Fuyou' shook his head: "Although it's unexpected to appear here. But, it's really me. Do you remember? When you were a child, I took you to buy food. You didn't like sweet food, so you bought a lot. The bag of potato chips was all over your face. I said you were a little cat, and you started crying. You couldn't comfort me, which made me scolded by my parents. By the way, my parents were okay. Did you accompany them well?"
Cheese's eyes flashed, this was indeed her experience with her cousin when they were young.
Could this place really summon the undead?
Is she really back?
