Starting from the folklore forum, making up town objects

Chapter 1: Cockscomb Blood on Stone
Daxia, Lingyuan City, night.

Footsteps were heard at the entrance to the underground parking lot of a rough building whose main structure had only been completed.

Three figures walked up the stairs with exposed steel bars and peered into the basement step by step.

The light from the strong flashlight revealed the original appearance of the dark underground space, which was originally like a huge mouth of the abyss.

There are load-bearing columns and planned parking spaces. Except for the shadows of the columns caused by the angle of the light, the entire area is as bright as day.

"Brother Li, how about... just here?"

Even with three high-powered flashlights, Yang Changhui couldn't help swallowing.

It’s not that he is a coward, but this underground parking lot is too dangerous!

Previously, people inexplicably jumped off the building for three consecutive days. Afterwards, the boss asked a fortune teller to look at the matter. The fortune teller said that there was dirt in the underground parking lot and a ritual was needed.

The boss's original intention was to just go through the motions so that the workers on the construction site would eliminate their fears and continue working.

As a result, the master and his two apprentices went in that night and never came out again.

The next day, when someone entered the underground parking lot, they saw three figures hanging on the roof by the ceiling steel bars.

Jumping off a building can be explained, but hanging oneself with steel bars is something I have never seen, let alone heard of.

Now, let alone raising the salary, even if we add an exciting program, the workers will not be willing to come.

But as the saying goes, there is always a brave man when there is a big reward.

The boss privately said that anyone who can solve this problem will be rewarded with 500,000!

Even if you just try it, you will get 10,000 yuan in hard work compensation!
Yang Changhui didn't have any ideas at first. Money is tempting, but life is more precious.

But who would have thought that after Li Ran returned home, he suddenly called him and Zhang Dashan together and said that he had asked an old man in the village for a method and they could give it a try.

As for why he looked for him and Zhang Dashan, one reason was that Li Ran was familiar with them and knew that the two of them had never followed those people from the construction site to the hair salon to fool around in private, so they were full of masculine energy!
Another reason was that Li Ran showed their horoscopes to an old veteran, and the answer was just one word: hard!

So with the two of them, if we really run into something dirty, we'll be able to get out alive even if we fail, right?
After a meal of wine and a reward of 500,000 yuan, Yang Changhui was tempted and came.

But I regretted it when I came.

I don’t know if it was psychological or for other reasons, but he felt scared as soon as he entered the building, and even worse in the basement. That’s why he asked that question.

"If we go a few steps further, and the method doesn't work because of the missing steps, then wouldn't it be a waste of time? I didn't come here for the ten thousand Great Xia coins."

Compared to the uneasiness on Yang Changhui's face, Li Ran was much calmer.

Li Ran is a middle-aged man, his face is as dark and red as the other two, the product of working in the sun for a long time.

When Yang Changhui heard Li Ran say this, he glanced at the illuminated underground space and finally gritted his teeth and followed.

Fortunately, Li Ran kept his word and took the steps he said he would take.

Li Ran stopped just ten meters away from the entrance.

While placing a high-intensity flashlight on the ground and shining it in one direction of the underground parking lot, Li Ran also took off the bag he had been carrying.

While taking something, he said to the person next to him:

"Dashan, take out everything!"

Zhang Dashan, who had been silent from beginning to end, nodded, also put out the flashlight, and then took off the bag.

Open it and take out everything.

Three big roosters with their wings, feet and beaks tied, a bottle of Niulanshan, a small bowl, a stack of yellow paper, an iron basin for burning fire, two incense sticks, two strings of firecrackers, and a hoe.

Li Ran took out a stone as big as two basketballs stacked together from his bag.

There is a rooster carved on the upper part of the stone. It may not be very lifelike, but at least it has all the necessary features.

The lower part is a square stone pier that is very stable on the ground.

After taking out the things, Zhang Dashan set out the bowls, poured wine, lit candles and burned paper.

Seeing that Zhang Dashan had done everything right, Li Ran picked up a rooster and handed it to Yang Changhui.

But when he turned around, he saw Yang Changhui there, sweeping around with a flashlight.

"Yang Changhui!"

Yang Changhui was awakened by Li Ran's low shout and subconsciously shone the flashlight over there.

"Fuck it!"

"..."

Even though Yang Changhui moved away quickly enough, Li Ran and Zhang Dashan were still stuck in the "blind" state.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

Hearing Yang Changhui's apology, Li Ran suppressed his anger, stared at Yang Changhui with unfocused eyes and ordered: "Do it!"

"Oh, okay, okay!"

Yang Changhui knew he was in the wrong, so he put down the flashlight, took the rooster, and took out a knife from his pants behind him to cut open the chicken's neck.

Zhang Dashan, who was standing by, also fumbled to light a string of firecrackers and threw them out.

There were crackling sounds, and Yang Changhui was holding a rooster and spilling blood around.

Of the three people at this time, Yang Changhui was busy, and the other two were blind, so they didn't notice that at the end of the flashlight, something flashed across the ceiling and disappeared into the darkness behind the load-bearing column.

While the other two were doing their work, Li Ran had already blindly cut off the combs of the two big roosters.

Although there was still a black mass in the center of his vision, he could still see something out of the corner of his eye.

Taking advantage of the peripheral vision, Li Ran smeared the comb blood all over the rooster on the stone.

Wait until Yang Changhui has spilled the blood of three roosters in a row.

Li Ran then stood up and found a direction, muttering to himself.

The empty basement was filled with Li Ran's rhythmic voice, which made Yang Changhui feel creepy again.

After Li Ran finished reading, Zhang Dashan picked up another string of firecrackers, lit them and threw them out.

As the sound of firecrackers rang out, Li Ran had already picked up the hoe and dug the ground three times with "dang dang dang" sounds.

Sparks flew from the concrete floor, but Li Ran ignored them and turned around after finishing digging.

He turned his back to the two of them, faced the direction of the exit and said, "Yang Changhui, go put the stone fifty meters away."

Li Ran's sudden words made Zhang Dashan and Yang Changhui look over.

Zhang Dashan was confused and Yang Changhui was shocked and angry.

"Brother Li, this is what Zhang Dashan should do!"

"Zhang Dashan? You've blinded both him and me. If he goes and something goes wrong, all our work today will be in vain! Are you going or not?"

Yang Changhui's face turned red. He turned his head and looked at the underground garage illuminated by strong light without saying a word.

Li is in a hurry to gasp.

Just then, Zhang Dashan spoke.

"I'll go and see."

As he spoke, Zhang Dashan picked up the stone and walked towards the front of the basement. Li Ran didn't look back, but he heard Yang Changhui's relieved voice.

"Humph!"

Yang Changhui heard Li Ran's cold snort, but pretended not to hear it.

Looking at Zhang Dashan's back, Yang Changhui had his own plans in mind.

He did earn ten thousand yuan, but the five hundred thousand... haha.

It is still unclear whether Li Ran’s method will work. There is no need to take too much risk for something unknown.

If Li Ran had asked him to send the stone in, he would not have come at all!

Fortunately, Zhang Dashan knows what's good for him.

Looking at Zhang Dashan's back, Yang Changhui felt that he was much more reliable than Li Ran and worthy of close friendship.

Yang Changhui's eyes left Zhang Dashan's back and looked at the load-bearing pillars on the side. As his sight passed by, Yang Changhui's body suddenly stiffened.

Just now, he seemed to see something flash from the dark shadow behind one load-bearing pillar into another.

And that load-bearing pillar is where Zhang Dashan is about to pass.

Yang Changhui didn't think he was dazzled. If he still thought he was dazzled at this time, he would be courting death!

Yang Changhui pinched his thigh hard, suddenly regaining his strength and turned around and ran!

Li Ran, who had his back to the two of them, suddenly saw Yang Changhui walk past him and rush towards the stairs. After a moment of hesitation, his face changed drastically.

Without looking back, Li Ran ran out following Yang Changhui.

From beginning to end, the two of them tacitly did not say a word.

Li Ran didn't know what Yang Changhui was thinking, but he was cursing in his heart.

One of the reasons why he chose these two people was that they had strong horoscopes and strong Yang fire.

The most important thing is that if there really is something dirty, one more person means one more choice for the dirty thing, and it has a greater chance of survival.

But he didn't expect that the person he dragged along to take the blame actually used him as a scapegoat. This made him more angry than not getting the money!
The other end.

Zhang Dashan was still walking forward with sweat all over his forehead.

Every time he passed a load-bearing pillar, Zhang Dashan's heart would tense, for fear that something would jump out from the dark shadow behind the pillar.

Fortunately, nothing happened until they reached a distance of fifty meters.

After walking a few steps forward, Zhang Dashan put the stone on the ground.

After heaving a sigh of relief, Zhang Dashan thought about what Li Ran had told him before, and after feeling that there was nothing missing, he turned around and prepared to go back.

But when he turned around and saw the situation in the direction he came from, his eyes widened.

In the distance, Li Ran was rushing towards him with a look of fear on his face, his usual calmness no longer visible.

From time to time, Li Ran would turn his head and look behind him.

Then, Zhang Dashan knew what Li Ran was looking at.

A crawling white figure appeared on the entrance ceiling.

Long black hair hung from the ceiling, and Yang Changhui's head was quietly buried in the hair, with his feet hanging in the air.

From a distance, Yang Changhui looked like he was... hanging from the ceiling.

Just when Zhang Dashan was frightened, he saw the white figure's hair falling from the ceiling and heading towards the three light sources on the ground.

One of the flashlights went out, and the light in the basement dimmed.

The two flashlights went out, and the basement became even darker.

Until the last flashlight went out, the white figure and Li Ran’s terrified face became the last images on Zhang Dashan’s retina.

Zhang Dashan, who was freezing cold after falling into darkness, finally reacted and turned around to pick up the stone on the ground.

The only thing that could give him a sense of security at this moment was the stone that Li Ran said was useful.

Just as Zhang Dashan was trembling with fear and holding onto a stone for protection in the dark, a hand grabbed his arm!

"roll!"

Zhang Dashan roared, raised a stone and was about to smash it down, but then he heard Li Ran's voice.

"it's me!"

Zhang Dashan felt relieved. He held the stone with one hand and tightly grasped Li Ran's arm with the other.

"Brother Li, what should we do now? How do we use this stone? Tell me quickly..."

When Zhang Dashan was getting anxious, he felt that his hand, which was holding Li Ran's arm, touched something.

The touch was... hair!
But how could Li Ran's hair be located at his arm position?

Zhang Dashan's face turned pale in the dark.

He wanted to let go, but the hair had already entangled his hands.

“Huh… Kaka…”

An unearthly voice sounded, and a cold breath sprayed on Zhang Dashan's face.

The hair that had wrapped around her hands wrapped around Zhang Dashan's neck in circles.

Zhang Dashan's consciousness began to blur.

"I'm dying... What a pity, I didn't get the money..."

At the last moment before his consciousness fell into silence, Zhang Dashan heard a rooster crowing.

Then, he seemed to see light in his arms?

Room 55, Unit 1, Building 802, Platinum Community, Lingyuan City.

Chen Xin was sitting at his desk, browsing the "Night Talk Folklore Forum" on the computer screen.

Suddenly, he sensed something.

He casually pulled out a book on "Ideology and Morality" from the bookshelf and placed it on the table.

What seemed like an ordinary book to outsiders turned into an ancient thread-bound volume with a silver cover in Chen Xin's eyes.

When Chen Xin's eyes fell on the silver cover, lines of words appeared on the empty cover, as if someone was writing on it with an invisible pen.

《Town Objects Encyclopedia》

Owner: Chen Xin

Number of towns recorded: 1
Yin De Points: 6

Looking at the changed content on the cover, Chen Xin's eyes lit up and he opened the book and looked at the first page.
