Corpse Retriever.

Chapter 77

When Tan Wenbin walked into the affordable store, Runsheng and his colleagues were still busy checking the goods.

He walked to the drinks shelf and wanted to get a bottle of drink, but then he remembered that he didn't put any money in his pocket after changing into his sports shorts. In order not to cause trouble for them, he walked to the counter, picked up a teacup, and gulped down several gulps of water.

"Do you need help?"

Yin Meng, holding a pen and a book, shook her head: "No, just count them quickly, there are so many goods."

"Of course."

Yin Meng pointed to the shelf where daily necessities were placed and said, "We need to get another batch of daily necessities in before school starts."

Aunt Sun smiled and said, "It's like this every year."

Yin Meng: "We need to pack the cool mats, mattresses, quilts, basins, cups, towels, etc. into a set and then put up a discount sign to sell them together."

Aunt Sun was stunned for a moment. She wanted to continue showing off her seniority, but she couldn't open her mouth for a moment.

Tan Wenbin shrugged: "Not bad, it seems you have entered the state."

Yin Meng said regretfully, "Logically, students should receive more second-hand items after graduation. After cleaning them up, they can sell them cheaply to freshmen in the new semester. Didn't they confiscate them at the end of last semester?"

Aunt Sun shook her head: "I've never done this before."

Yin Meng nodded: "Then let's do this in the future. Most of the students are from ordinary families."

Tan Wenbin leaned against the counter and joked, "Sure enough, it's the coffin shop that has bound you."

"Since we are going to do this, we have to do it well. I also plan to open a hot food area here. I will pack some hot pot base and cook some meatballs and tripe in it and sell them separately, just like hot pot skewers."

"Good idea, but don't cook it yourself."

Yin Meng looked at Tan Wenbin somewhat unconvinced.

Tan Wenbin reminded seriously: "This is a school. If there is a collective food safety problem, it will be very serious."

Yin Meng didn't argue, she just shook the pen in her hand and said, "Okay, I understand."

Runsheng put all the goods at his feet on the platform, then clapped his hands and looked at Tan Wenbin: "Did you just go fishing?"

"Ah."

"Anything gained?"

"I met someone at the lake and he called me from behind, but when I turned around, he was gone."

Runsheng was a little surprised and asked, "Really?"

Aunt Sun asked, "Is it the lake to the west? There are indeed many people who like to run there on weekdays, and couples also like to go there."

Tan Wenbin asked curiously, "Auntie Sun, you spend a lot of time in this school, do you know any school ghost stories?"

"A ghost story?"

"Yes, we are more interested in this aspect."

"There are no ghost stories. They are just nonsense. If you want to talk about deaths, there are indeed many deaths in school. Every semester, some people jump to death, some drown, some die from taking medicine, and some even choke to death."

As long as the population in an area reaches a certain base number, the death of one person is not a rare event.

But that's not what Tan Wenbin wanted to hear. He continued to ask:

"Is there no place that is more evil?"

"A weird place?" Aunt Sun covered her mouth and laughed. "This is a school, how can it be a weird place? But I heard from a sister of mine a while ago that things often happen at Jiangjun Mountain at night."

"Jiangjun Mountain?"

"These are just rumors, don't take them seriously."

"Okay, Runsheng, Yinmeng, you guys keep busy. I'm going back. Brother Xiaoyuan is still alone in the dormitory."

Tan Wenbin walked back to the dormitory building. When he passed by the window of the dormitory manager's office, he saw the aunt eating egg cake while writing something with a pen.

"Auntie Ran."

"You little brat, you scared me." Tan Wenbin had just helped her move things before he went downstairs for a night run, so the two of them knew each other.

Aunt Ran picked up a piece of egg cake and handed it to the boy.

Tan Wenbin didn't reach out to take it, but opened his mouth: "Ah..."

Aunt Ran could only smile and put the egg cake into the boy's mouth.

"What are you busy with?" Tan Wenbin asked while chewing.

"I'm writing a letter to my daughter."

"Can't you call?"

"The phone bill is so expensive."

"I'm using the official phone for private purposes."

"Huh?" Aunt Ran was stunned for a moment before she realized what this meant. She laughed and scolded, "You little brat knows a lot. It seems like your family has done this kind of thing a lot."

"It's unfair. My dad is a very principled person. When I was a kid, I always wanted him to drive me to school in a police car, but he never did that once."

"Your dad is a good guy, really."

"That's right, it doesn't matter whose father he is."

"Haha." Aunt Ran put down her pen and rubbed her wrist: "Huh... I'm done. Actually, even if I call, I don't have much to say when I pick up the phone."

"Come, let me see it and help you check for typos."

"Go, go, go back to your bedroom."

"Good night, Auntie."

"Good night, brat."

After Tan Wenbin left, Aunt Ran took out a matchbox, struck a fire and lit the envelope. When it was half burned, she put it into a large teacup at her feet.

There was a shoe box next to the teacup, with the packaging half torn, revealing the black high-heeled shoes inside.

……

"Snapped!"

After entering the room, Tan Wenbin turned on the light and found Li Zhuiyuan already lying on the bed.

He immediately put out the light again.

"Brother Binbin, you are back."

"Did I wake you up, Brother Xiaoyuan?"

"I didn't fall asleep."

"Oh, you went to bed really early today."

"It's late. Don't you care what time it is?"

"Okay, then I'll come back earlier next time." Tan Wenbin picked up the basin and towel and planned to take a shower in the sink outside.

When he came back from dinner, he went there with Xiaoyuan to wash.

There is a bathroom on campus, but it is far away and currently closed. In fact, even if it reopens in the future, Tan Wenbin feels that he is too lazy to go there. It is a boys' dormitory. Wouldn't it be more refreshing to go directly to the sink, get a basin of water and splash it on himself? After showering, he can walk back to the dormitory with his bird in his arms.

When I was about to open the door, I found a talisman stuck on the dormitory door.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, this is..."

“It was here.”

"what?"

Tan Wenbin immediately raised the basin in his left hand and grabbed the towel in his right hand, and became alert.

"It ran away."

"Oh." Tan Wenbin relaxed, "Brother, what is it?"

"I ran too fast and didn't see it."

"Brother, I will try not to go out at night in the future to protect you."

"I slept."

"Yeah." Tan Wenbin opened the dormitory door, and his big slippers made a crisp "pa pa" sound as he walked in the corridor. "I'm not going to run at night, I might as well stay with Xiaoyuan. Tsk, our Xiaoyuan brother is more evil."

The next morning, Li Zhuiyuan woke up.

I turned my head out of habit and saw Tan Wenbin still sleeping soundly.

The sense of gap is still quite big.

Li Zhuiyuan got out of bed, picked up the basin and walked to the sink. While he was washing up, someone came in behind him humming a song.

"Hey, little brother, are you here to go to college too? Hahaha."

"Ah."

"Uh..." the other party asked hesitantly, "Are you really here to go to college?"

"Ah."

"I'm going, is it true?"

After Li Zhuiyuan finished washing up, he packed his things and put them in the basin, then turned around and walked out.

The other person leaned out while brushing his teeth, and only put his head back after seeing Li Zhuiyuan walk into the innermost dormitory.

The boy put down the washbasin and just sat down at the desk when Tan Wenbin woke up. He bent down to pick up the quilt he had kicked off the bed and muttered:

"It's better to sleep in a coffin. You don't have to worry about kicking off the quilt."

After getting out of bed, Tan Wenbin stretched and said, "Brother Xiaoyuan, I'll go out and bring you breakfast after I finish washing up."

"No need, let's go find Brother Runsheng and the others later. We're going out to play these few days, and after school starts, they will have to look after the store and won't be free."

"Right."

Tan Wenbin went out with the washbasin. After a while, he opened the door and came back and said with a smile:

"Just now, there was a sophomore who kept chasing me by the sink and asked if I was a student. He was quite nice. His name was Lu Yi, and he was from Harbin. He even gave me a sausage."

As he spoke, Tan Wenbin took a bite himself: "Hmm, the taste is very authentic."

"Have you ever eaten sausage before?"

“I haven’t eaten it, but the taste I had the first time is authentic to me.”

"He didn't come home?"

"No, he's staying at school to tutor part-time. He said his family is too big and it's not convenient to go back to his hometown to tutor."

Li Zhuiyuan and Tan Wenbin came to the affordable store. They had already counted the goods last night, and business was not much, so they left Aunt Sun to look after the store. The four of them walked out of the school gate together and took the bus.

Tan Wenbin noticed that Runsheng was carrying a large bag and asked, "Runsheng, why are you carrying so much water?"

Bringing your own water before going to a tourist attraction or buying it outside the attraction is a common memory of Chinese people traveling nowadays.

Because the water in the scenic area is relatively expensive, as for what to eat...normal people would not be willing to buy food in the scenic area.

"I counted out a lot of food that was about to expire or had just expired last night, and I took them all with me. I have a big appetite, and eating out is expensive, so I just used them to eat them."

"Runsheng, you are the second boss now, why are you still so stingy? You should show some style."

Runsheng patted the big bag and said, "These are all good things. They were hard to get when I was a kid. I never dreamed that I would be able to eat snacks to my heart's content one day."

After getting off the bus, the four people first went into a duck blood vermicelli shop and had breakfast.

Then we visited several scenic spots in succession that day, with Li Zhuiyuan giving the tour guides throughout. By the end of the trip at dusk, Li Zhuiyuan felt his voice was a little hoarse.

There is no way around it. Anyone can see the magnificent natural scenery with their own eyes, but if there is no one to explain the cultural attractions in detail, you can only take a quick look and quickly come out feeling that it is boring.

The four of them took the last bus back to school, then went to "Lao Sichuan" for dinner, and separated in pairs after entering the school gate.

Runsheng walked into the store and didn't see Aunt Sun. He was holding a package of brown sugar rice cake that he had packed especially for her.

"Maybe it's down there." Yin Meng picked up the hairband and tied her hair up, then picked up the broom and started sweeping the floor.

Runsheng walked to the basement and knocked on Aunt Sun's door. There was no response and the lights were off, so she should not be there.

Runsheng had no choice but to return to his room and found that the dog cage was empty.

After searching everywhere, I finally found the black dog curled up under the bed.

The black dog was no longer lazy as before. Instead, his eyes were watery and his whole body was trembling.

Runsheng stood up silently, walked to the luggage area, and took out the Yellow River shovel.

Yin Meng, who was sweeping the floor, heard the sound of benches rubbing against each other coming from upstairs. It was still early before school started and there were no performances that needed rehearsals, so there should be no one upstairs.

Walking to the stairs, Yin Meng shouted upwards, "Auntie Sun, are you up there, Auntie Sun?"

There was no response, but the sound of the chairs rubbing against each other became clearer.

Yin Meng walked up the stairs and came to the second floor. She didn't turn on the lights, but with the moonlight coming through the window, she could vaguely see a figure dancing there.

The other person was dancing with great enthusiasm, knocking over the chairs around him from time to time.

The light switch was right at the stairs, and Yin Meng reached out his hand.

"Snapped!"

The lights came on and the figure disappeared.

The huge dance studio with wooden floors seemed empty.

Hearing footsteps behind him, Yin Meng turned around immediately and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Run Sheng.

Runsheng came up with a Yellow River shovel in his hand, and when he passed by Yin Meng, he said, "Xiao Hei was frightened by something."

Yin Meng was also frightened when she heard this.

Runsheng walked to the center of the dance studio holding a shovel and looked around.

Yin Meng followed up and said, "I just heard a chair moving upstairs. When I came up, I saw a figure dancing here. When I turned on the light, he disappeared."

Runsheng asked: "Could it be a living person?"

Yin Meng shook his head: "It's impossible for a living person to disappear so quickly in front of my eyes."

Even if we put aside their profession as corpse retrievers, they are now both real martial artists, with observation and reaction abilities much stronger than ordinary people.

"Let's go and tell Xiaoyuan."

"Ah."

As soon as they went downstairs, they saw Aunt Sun coming in carrying a thermos bucket.

"Hey, isn't it a coincidence? The dorm manager of Building 9 just called me to eat some glutinous rice dumplings. I thought the store couldn't be left unattended for too long, so I went to get them back. Come on, let's eat together."

Aunt Sun walked to the counter, pointed the thermos bucket, and warmly called the two of them over.

Runsheng looked at Yin Meng and motioned her to go and inform Xiaoyuan, while he stayed here.

Yin Meng shook her head slightly. That was the men's dormitory and it was inconvenient for her to go there alone. So she decided to let Runsheng go and she would stay here.

Runsheng looked determined, meaning that it would be easy for you to enter the men's dormitory.

The two of them have been practicing martial arts for such a long time, so it's natural that they have no lack of tacit understanding, and it's even simpler with eye contact.

Yin Meng had no choice but to run out of the store.

Aunt Sun asked in confusion: "Hey, where did she go?"

Runsheng: "I went to deliver something to our friends."

"Then let's eat it first. The glutinous rice balls will swell and fall apart if left out for too long."

"I packed some glutinous rice cakes for you and put them downstairs. I'll go get them."

"No, just eat this. Eating too much at night can cause indigestion."

"okay."

Runsheng walked behind the counter and put the spatula on the chair.

"Runsheng, what are you doing with a shovel?"

"There's a piece of wall paint peeling off, I plan to scrape it off and repaint it."

"This shovel looks quite complicated. Where did you buy it?"

"I brought it from home."

"Oh, no wonder. Come, eat first." Aunt Sun opened the thermos bucket and handed a spoon to Runsheng. "Eat quickly and try our local glutinous rice balls."

"What day is today? Are we eating tangyuan?"

"It's the birthday of the dormitory manager of Building 9."

"Oh."

Runsheng nodded, took the spoon but did not rush to scoop the dumplings. Instead, he took out a thick incense stick from the iron box and lit it.

“Is this a cigar?”

"Yes, it smells good." Considering that they would have to run the store together in the future, Runsheng didn't avoid her.

"fragrant?"

"This is my personal eating habit. I have been like this since I was a child, and I can't change it."

"This habit is really strange. But I heard that some children would pick up the dust from the wall and eat it. Yours is cleaner."

Suddenly, there was a flash of white light. It was lightning.

Then,

"Boom!"

Thunder roared, rain started falling outside, and wind blew in from the door.

Aunt Sun: "This season is like this, a thunderstorm comes out of nowhere. Come and try it."

Runsheng didn't put down the spoon, but looked at the incense he had just lit.

The wind blew in from outside, blowing his hair and the pages of the book on the counter, but the cigarette still curled straight up.

Runsheng raised his head.

above,

It's a pair of floating feet.

……

"You've worked hard today, Brother Xiaoyuan, would you like some soda?"

"Drink it, Brother Binbin."

"Oh, I forgot. You don't like sweet drinks. I'll make you a cup of tea... I'll look for it. I remember my mom put two bags of my dad's treasured tea in my luggage when I came. Hey, I found it."

Tan Wenbin made a cup of tea and placed it on Xiaoyuan's desk.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, try it."

Li Zhuiyuan picked up the teacup, took a sip, and nodded.

"How does it feel?"

"Your father didn't take bribes."

"Uh, hahahaha!" Tan Wenbin couldn't help laughing, and then he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand and said, "Then I'll buy you some good tea tomorrow."

"no need."

Counting the days, Grandma Liu should appear near the school in a few days.

There is no good or bad tea, only taste. The problem is that I am used to the taste of Liu Yumei, but that taste is very expensive.

The elderly in the family compound would have to hold a tea party to invite everyone to taste the tea together, but for Liu Yumei, it is just her daily ration.

"Boom!"

"Oh no, it's going to rain."

Tan Wenbin walked over, closed the window, and put away the clothes.

Just then, the sound of "tick...tick...tick..." of high heels came from outside the corridor.

When Tan Wenbin heard this, he immediately excitedly made a "hush" gesture to Li Zhuiyuan, even though the boy was sitting at the desk and didn't move at all.

Tan Wenbin rolled on the ground several times, picked up the Yellow River shovel, and then tiptoed to the dormitory door, just as the high heels walked to the door again.

There was a friction sound, and the shoes turned towards the dormitory door.

"Brother Binbin..." "Shh!" Tan Wenbin kept waving at Li Zhuiyuan, signaling him not to scare that thing away again.

Li Zhuiyuan opened the book and said, "It's a living person."

"Ah? Oh... that, I know."

Tan Wenbin stood up, lifted his hair with his left hand and touched his thigh with his right hand, trying to ease embarrassment by using embarrassment.

“Duoduo…”

"Binbin, are you there?"

It was the voice of Aunt Ran, the dormitory manager.

Tan Wenbin opened the door and Aunt Ran was standing at the door holding a ceramic bowl.

There is a pair of chopsticks on the bowl, there are dumplings in the bowl, and there are red words printed on the outer wall of the bowl: Model Worker.

"Auntie Ran."

"Auntie cooked some glutinous rice balls and brought some to you. Remember to return the bowl and chopsticks to Auntie tomorrow."

"Okay, thank you, auntie."

Aunt Ran poked her head into the room and smiled at Li Zhuiyuan who was sitting at the desk, "Our number one scholar, please have some too."

Li Zhuiyuan turned sideways and responded with a shy smile.

Tan Wenbin asked, "Auntie is dressed up tonight and is wearing high heels."

"Today is my birthday."

"Oh, why didn't you tell me yesterday? If I had known, I would have prepared a cake for you."

"You little brat only knows how to talk sweetly."

"Auntie, happy birthday."

"Okay, okay, remember to return the dishes and chopsticks."

Aunt Ran walked away in high heels.

Tan Wenbin closed the door.

"Brother Xiaoyuan, I didn't talk to Auntie about you. She's in charge of the dormitory. She knows that the students who live in this dormitory are not ordinary. She already found out who you are. She was also surprised that there was no photo of the top scorer in the college entrance examination in the newspaper this year."

Li Zhuiyuan refused to cooperate in the publicity, and Wu Xinhan did not force him. After all, it was enough that the provincial top student came from his own high school.

"Well, it doesn't matter. Once you enter university, the college entrance examination results are meaningless."

"Brother Xiaoyuan, want one?"

"I've brushed my teeth, so I won't eat."

"Then I'll eat it." Tan Wenbin picked up a glutinous rice dumpling with his chopsticks when he suddenly heard the sound of a window opening. Then a woman's face suddenly popped out, scaring him so much that he threw the bowl in his hand away and shouted, "Oh my god!"

Yin Meng flipped in.

Tan Wenbin complained: "No, why don't you go through the door?"

"I am a girl."

Tan Wenbin raised two fingers and made a walking gesture: "It's just a dormitory manager, you just need to bend down under her window sill and walk over."

"It's more convenient to climb over the wall."

Li Zhuiyuan looked at Yin Meng and asked, "What happened to Brother Runsheng?"

"I saw the disappearing shadow in the dance studio above the store."

Tan Wenbin bent down and prepared to clean up the glutinous rice balls that had spilled on the ground: "It's not a big deal. It's just like what Brother Xiaoyuan said. If we get together, the dirt will be distributed over here."

Yin Meng continued: "Runsheng said Xiao Hei was scared."

"Fuck!" Tan Wenbin stood up immediately.

The black dog has been fed tonics since childhood, and it is the purest five-black dog. This kind of dog will generally become more ferocious and excited when encountering dirty things.

Therefore, anything that can scare it must be very powerful and is definitely not just an ordinary dirty thing.

After the four of them left Nantong, they thought about fishing for a dead fish to have some fun, but that only referred to the dead fish under normal circumstances, not this kind of big and extremely challenging one.

Li Zhuiyuan opened the drawer and picked up the whip: "Brother Runsheng is trapped?"

"No, he stayed in the store. Let me inform you."

"Why did you break up?"

"Because Aunt Sun came back halfway, Runsheng stayed in the store to accompany her."

The next moment, Yin Meng saw a flash of indifference in Li Zhuiyuan's eyes.

Just this one glance made Yin Meng feel a sudden chill on his back.

It's neither disgust nor anger, but it's a higher emotion than both.

The boy instinctively rejected this stupid choice.

But soon, the boy closed his eyes and opened them again, his vision recovered, and then he responded lightly: "Yeah."

The three of them quickly ran out of the dormitory building and passed by the dormitory manager's office on the way. The windows were closed and the lights were off.

Li Zhuiyuan arrived at the store door in the rain, stopped and raised his hand.

Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng also stopped immediately.

The rain was still falling, and water kept dripping on the door frame of the shop.

But the problem is that the door is inside the building and there is a terrace on top. It is impossible for rainwater to hit there and form a water curtain cave.

Li Zhuiyuan looked up deliberately but didn't see the waterline.

Unless there was a crack in the internal wall of this mobile building, and the rainwater seeped in and just happened to flow out along the crack above the door frame, how could such a coincidence happen in the world?

Therefore, the water dripping from the door is not the same as the rain outside.

Li Zhuiyuan: "It's inside."

Seeing that Brother Xiaoyuan had no intention of rushing in, Tan Wenbin did not dare to act rashly, but shouted loudly inside:

"Runsheng, Runsheng!"

Li Zhuiyuan: "There is miasma, and we can't hear anything inside."

"Oh..." Tan Wenbin shrank his neck.

There is miasma, and if you force your way in you will fall into its trap and either get lost or fall into a coma. In any case, it will waste a lot of time.

Li Zhuiyuan's eyes narrowed, he held the whip in his right hand, and snapped his fingers with his left hand:
"Snapped!"

In the Yin state, the water dripping from the door frame turned into a thick black color. As it fell, it continued to flow to both sides and then up, like a living thing.

Li Zhuiyuan raised the whip and whipped the dynamic black line on the ground!
"Clap! Clap! Clap!"

After three consecutive hits, the process was interrupted.

In reality, from the perspective of Tan Wenbin and Yin Meng, Xiaoyuan whipped the ground a few times, and the water curtain on the door frame stopped by itself.

Li Zhuiyuan shouted, "Yin Meng, come in."

Yin Meng rushed in without hesitation, Li Zhuiyuan was the second, and Tan Wenbin was the third.

In fact, everyone had never practiced coordination on a daily basis, but when faced with a dangerous situation, they all knew who to protect as the core.

Originally, Runsheng was the most suitable person to take the lead, but he is now inside.

Everything in the store was normal, except that the lighting was a little dim.

Aunt Sun was lying by the counter, unconscious.

Li Zhuiyuan took a deep look at Aunt Sun's back.

Runsheng was not seen on the first floor, but upstairs, there were three consecutive heavy blows: "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Go upstairs!"

The three of them quickly ran upstairs in the order they entered. Just as they reached the corner of the stairs, the surrounding walls and the stairs under their feet began to shake, as if they had turned into liquid, and the shaking amplitude began to increase continuously.

Yin Meng could only bend down and barely maintain balance.

Tan Wenbin fell to the ground with his buttocks, unable to tell where he was and completely losing his balance.

Li Zhuiyuan looked up at the top of the stairs. It was blocking him and others from entering.

This means that Runsheng is still fighting it.

"Follow me!"

Li Zhuiyuan raised the whip in his hand and whipped it at the empty space in front of him. As the whip exploded, he closed his eyes and his ears trembled slightly.

Then, in the sight of Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin, Xiaoyuan was walking down the stairs.

They immediately lowered their eyes and looked at the place where Xiaoyuan had stepped.

Then Yin Meng jumped over, and Tan Wenbin crawled using his hands and feet. Anyway, they had to follow the "memory footprints" to move forward.

Finally, Tan Wenbin crawled out and his sense of space around him returned to normal. He stood up and saw Runsheng nailed to the wall by a steel bar.

Yin Meng saw it earlier than Tan Wenbin. Her eyes were red, but she did not move and still stood in front of Xiaoyuan.

Tan Wenbin immediately came behind Xiaoyuan with a shovel in hand, looking around and above his head.

"there!"

Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin discovered a ceiling at the same time, where black liquid was dripping, accompanied by a strong fishy smell.

Looking up further, there seemed to be a black shadow sticking to it. It must have been seriously injured in the fight with Runsheng.

"Buzz!"

The black shadow began to wriggle, and its shape disappeared from its original position, but the dripping liquid still existed, but it changed direction and was actively approaching the three people.

"Buzz!" "Buzz!" "Buzz!"

It disappeared and reappeared several times in a row, and the traces of black blood on the ground were getting closer and closer.

Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin immediately raised their instruments and pointed them in that direction.

Li Zhuiyuan closed his eyes.

Black blood appeared in front of him.

Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin each raised the Yellow River shovel.

Li Zhuiyuan shouted: "In the opposite direction!"

The two of them turned around and shot in the opposite direction.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

Two consecutive muffled sounds were heard.

Tan Wenbin only felt his arms numb from the recoil and almost cramped.

Yin Meng used a shovel to dig down, then jumped into the air and kicked that position continuously with both feet. This is a standard kick to kill someone.

"Boom boom boom!"

A ball of mud appeared in the place that was originally invisible, and the mud splashed everywhere, revealing a body. At its waist, black blood, which was different from the mud, was flowing out.

Yin Meng raised the shovel forward again, aiming at the opponent's wound and chopped hard.

The scattered sludge suddenly shrank back at this moment and hit Yin Meng.

"boom!"

Yin Meng lost her balance and was forced to fall into the mud.

But in the moment before the touch, Yin Meng supported himself on the ground with one hand, straightened his waist, used his arm as an axis, swung his whole body up, and kicked the mud hard with both feet again.

The mud dispersed again, revealing the face of the body inside. To be precise, she had a head but no face. The place where the face should have been seemed to have been hollowed out and was completely sunken.

You can tell she is a woman because of her long, straight black hair.

It flew out of the mud and pounced towards Yin Meng.

Yin Meng was about to pick up a shovel to fight back.

At this moment, Li Zhuiyuan opened his eyes and looked straight at him.

A silent and sharp scream instantly rang out throughout the dance studio, and Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin both felt a sharp pain in their eardrums.

The faceless man immediately changed direction and rushed towards Li Zhuiyuan.

It felt a huge threat. This young man was trying to control it!
Tan Wenbin, who had been staying beside Xiaoyuan and not joining the fight, now took the initiative to rush out, stood in front of Li Zhuiyuan, and gave a powerful shovel to the faceless man who was coming towards him.

"boom!"

The shovel hit Wu-Mian's head hard, and Tan Wenbin flew backwards, taking Li Zhuiyuan behind him with him.

Oops, I knocked Xiaoyuan down!

Tan Wenbin, whose mouth and nose were bleeding from the shock, gritted his teeth and climbed up to reach the fallen Yellow River shovel, but a hand from behind grabbed his arm and used it to help him stand up.

Li Zhuiyuan stared at it.

In this kind of close combat, every moment can decide life or death. No matter how many equipment you have, they will not be of any use. This is an encounter, not a trap.

Therefore, Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin could only fight with the Yellow River shovel from beginning to end, while Li Zhuiyuan directly used Wei Zhengdao's black book to control the death.

The boy clenched his open palm suddenly.

"Buzz!"

The faceless man stopped where he was.

Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin both breathed a sigh of relief, they succeeded!
However, the joy of success only lasted for a few brief seconds, as two red eyes emerged from the depths of the faceless man's dark, sunken face.

Li Zhuiyuan was shocked: Damn it, it was controlled!
Blood began to flow from the corners of the boy's eyes, but he kept his eyes open, ignoring the crazy tug of war and tearing of his consciousness in the state of walking in the dark.

The faceless man's body began to tremble violently, black blood mist continued to erupt, and his body seemed to be about to fall apart.

Yin Meng and Tan Wenbin looked at each other, one took out the Homecoming Net, and the other stretched out the Seven-Star Hook, but at this moment, the Faceless Man, who realized that he might be left here forever, suddenly swelled up his body.

"boom!"

Black fog overflowed, obscuring the view.

The faceless man began to retreat rapidly, smashing the glass on the second floor and disappeared.

Li Zhuiyuan lowered his head, slowly squatted down, and covered his eyes with his hands.

it hurts...

Li Zhuiyuan was filled with horror.

In Shigang Town before, he had met the dead Tai Sui who could control his ghosts, but as for the two ghosts that possessed the thugs, Runsheng at that time could defeat them all by himself.

But if the faceless man just now is also a ghost, then how terrifying must the person who is controlling her be?
Why does something of this level exist in school?

"Xiaoyuan, are you okay?" Tan Wenbin asked with concern.

Yin Meng was also squatting nearby.

Although Runsheng was still nailed to the wall, no one went to see him now.

It's not that he's cold-blooded, but he's worried that after he separates the men, that thing will come back and attack Xiaoyuan.

Li Zhuiyuan shook his head: "Go check on Runsheng, she is almost falling apart and will not come back."

"Ah."

Yin Meng immediately stood up and ran towards Runsheng.

Runsheng grabbed the steel bar that pierced his shoulder with his left hand and kept gasping for breath.

His pale face showed that he had used up most of his strength in the previous fight.

In fact, the reason why Li Zhuiyuan was able to launch the attack successfully and almost control the beast to fall dead was because Runsheng had severely injured it in advance.

"What should we do?" Yin Meng asked.

"Help me... out."

"Is that okay?"

"It's okay... It's not in the vital area."

Tan Wenbin also came to help at this time. The two of them held up Runsheng's body on the left and right. Then Runsheng grabbed the steel bar with one hand and moved forward little by little.

It is equivalent to going through the process of being penetrated by steel bars again.

Finally, after being freed from the restraints, Runsheng fell to his knees with a "thump", opened his mouth and breathed deeply.

Fortunately, the wound was not located at a vital point. If it had deviated a little bit inward, it would have been a most terrible and fatal injury.

This is the first time that Runsheng has been treated so miserably. Looking at it from another perspective, it is only Runsheng who can survive the fight with the faceless man. If it were anyone else, whether it was Yin Meng or Tan Wenbin, they would have died long ago.

Li Zhuiyuan walked over. Although he had wiped it, there were still blood stains in the corners of his eyes.

When Runsheng saw the boy’s shoes, he raised his head and looked at the boy’s face, especially the boy’s eyes.

"Xiaoyuan...I...was wrong..."

No matter how ferocious a beast is, after a long period of comfortable life, its edges will gradually be smoothed out, it will become dull and lose its former ferocity and decisiveness.

No one can keep the string tight all the time and always make the most correct and appropriate choice. Even a knife needs to be touched on the whetstone every now and then.

Li Zhuiyuan showed concern in his eyes:
"Brother Runsheng, are you okay?"

Runsheng nodded: "It's okay...it's just a minor injury."

Li Zhuiyuan knew that Runsheng was not trying to show off. He seemed to be able to recover quickly every time as long as the injuries were not fatal.

"Binbin, take Runsheng to the school clinic and say that he accidentally fell on the steel bars during the renovation."

"it is good."

Different from the infirmary in middle school that could only prescribe Qing Kai Ling and Isatis root, the university infirmary is more like a small hospital, with doctors on duty even at night.

The biceps that Tan Wenbin had trained came in handy at this time. If it were an ordinary person, he really wouldn't be able to withstand Runsheng's bulky body.

Yin Meng wanted to go with them, but Xiao Yuan didn't mention her name, so she stayed.

The two returned downstairs, and since the thing had left, the lights in the store returned to bright again.

Although it was still raining outside, the rain curtain on the door frame had disappeared.

Li Zhuiyuan walked to the counter.

He noticed the slight swaying of Aunt Sun's earlobe. It was very slight, but it could not escape the attention of a fortune teller.

Her previous coma was not fake, but her current coma was fake.

Li Zhuiyuan knew that she had a problem and it had nothing to do with the contact in the past two days. She was normal at that time.

It all started from her unconscious posture when the three men came in.

It would be normal for her to lie on the ground with her arms and legs spread out, or to be bleeding and dying, or even to be shivering under Runsheng's protection on the second floor.

The most abnormal thing was that she was actually resting her hands on the counter, a posture that looked like she was taking a nap during work.

He's so fierce, why should he be so gentle to you?
Besides, you've been watching the store all day today. If something was going to happen, it would have happened a long time ago. Why did you have to wait until Runsheng and the others came back?

Although this logic is rather cold-blooded and is also a presumption of guilt, Aunt Sun’s safety is the biggest problem.

Especially now, he is still pretending to be unconscious.

She is unlikely to be the murderer, nor the manipulator, but the death of the Faceless Man must be related to her!
There is no problem with Yin Meng's professional qualities as a corpse retriever, but in other aspects, she is inevitably a little slow. At this time, she still wants to go forward and wake up Aunt Sun.

Li Zhuiyuan raised his hand to stop Yin Meng's actions.

Then, the young man reached out and grabbed the Yellow River shovel in Yin Meng's hand, and Yin Meng immediately let go and handed it to him.

Li Zhuiyuan raised the Yellow River shovel and smashed it at the counter!
"boom!"

"what!"

The glass on the counter shattered. Aunt Sun screamed, and immediately raised her head and fell to the ground. She supported herself on the ground with her hands, but was stabbed by the glass shards and gasped for breath.

Yin Meng's eyes were filled with anger. She finally realized that the other party was pretending to be unconscious. When she thought that Runsheng stayed because of her, Yin Meng clenched her fists.

Aunt Sun first looked at Yin Meng, and then at the young man who was walking towards her step by step with a shovel in his hand.

The soles of the boy's shoes stepped on the broken glass, making a crisp "crunching" sound, but a warm smile appeared on his face, just like the several times I saw him in the past two days, he was always sensible and polite.

Li Zhuiyuan squatted down with the Yellow River shovel, looked at Aunt Sun, and asked the coldest words in the warmest voice:

"The truth or buried alive?"
