Chapter 244: The Yincha Shen Zhihong, please come! (6k words long chapter)
"What's going on? Why is there fog out of nowhere?"

Wan Bin frowned.

Wan Bin is the second person whose child was rescued by Shen Zhihong after Kong Yi.

Unlike Kong Yi, Wan Bin had other people in his family who could help him take care of the child, so after finding the child, Wan Bin only spent three days with his child before returning to Shen Zhihong.

It is both a way of repaying a favor and a way of revenge.

The children have suffered for so many years, and the traffickers who abducted them have long disappeared, but someone has to pay the price, doesn't it?

Like Wan Bin, there is also Su Yongliang.

But compared to what Wan Bin’s children suffered, Su Yongliang’s children are much happier.

After being sold, the family that bought the child took good care of Su Yongliang's child.

Fortunately, after Su Yongliang found the child, he did not take the child away directly, but only provided financial assistance.

After all, it had been eight years since the child was lost, and Su Yongliang was not sure what the child was like, so he decided to take it slow and give the child and the family some time to accept it.

This is good for the children and for the family.

Good people should be rewarded, this is Su Yongliang's attitude.

Hearing Wan Bin's words at this time, Su Yongliang walked to Shen Zhihong's side and said softly: "Master Shen, let's go back to the hotel first. The weather is a bit abnormal, and your health is important."

After hearing what Su Yongliang said, Shen Zhihong rubbed his arms subconsciously.

It was just fog, but it lowered the temperature around it a lot.

Shen Zhihong did not hold on. No matter how strong his body was, it was only strong, not healthy.

But just when everyone was about to leave, the policeman Zeng Shichang who brought them here spoke.

"and many more."

Shen Zhihong and the others turned to look.

"Mr. Shen, let's wait for someone to come and rescue us... and take us out."

Zeng Shichang's face did not look good, as if he had something to say.

When he said this, the other policemen who came with him showed some surprise on their faces, and they didn't seem to understand why Zeng Shichang said that.

"Master, who are you waiting for?"

Ji Lei, Zeng Shichang's apprentice, came over and asked,
"I told you to wait, so just wait. Why are you wasting your time talking?"

Zeng Shichang's impatient words stunned Ji Lei, but when he saw Zeng Shichang's frown, he said nothing.

Although Shen Zhihong was not as shrewd as others, he could see that Zeng Shichang stopped them definitely for their own good, so after comforting Wan Bin and others, he walked towards Zeng Shichang.

"Captain Zeng, is there anything else?"

Zeng Shichang looked at Shen Zhihong and his brows furrowed even deeper.

When interrogating Shen Zhihong and others before, Wan Bin and others gave some information.

They all called Shen Zhihong "Master Shen", and also said that Master Shen was a man of "capability". Without Master Shen's "means", they would not have been able to find their lost relatives.

So when Zeng Shichang found out something was wrong, he called Shen Zhihong, thinking that maybe he could get his protection.

but now……

Looking at Shen Zhihong's puzzled expression, Zeng Shichang shook his head secretly.

If you're still asking what happened in this situation, then you probably don't know about the supernatural events, otherwise you wouldn't ask such a question.

"Don't ask. This is not something you can know. Ask your people to cooperate."

Zeng Shichang found out Shen Zhihong's background and was disappointed, but he did not give up on him.

All in all, Shen Zhihong and his group still have the advantage in terms of numbers, so if anything really happens, they will have someone to take care of them.

Thinking of what the director said during the previous meeting, Zeng Shichang couldn't help but want to smoke a cigarette.

But when he felt his body, he realized he had forgotten to bring the cigarettes he brought with him.

"Master."

Ji Lei handed over a cigarette at the right time. Zeng Shichang took the cigarette, let Ji Lei light it up, and took a deep puff.

"Master, what happened?"

Ji Lei asked after seeing that Zeng Shichang's emotions had stabilized a little.

After hearing this, Zeng Shichang thought about it and walked to the other side of the yard, avoiding Shen Zhihong and others.

When they reached the wall, Zeng Shichang finally spoke.

"Do you remember the meeting the bureau asked me to attend a few days ago?"

"Hmm...Oh, I remember, it seemed that all the people who went there were captains."

Ji Lei thought about it.

"Master, is that meeting related to what happened today?"

Zeng Shichang took another puff of his cigarette and then nodded.

"You may not believe this, but the main purpose of the last meeting was to tell us..."

"what?"

Ji Lei became interested and felt itchy after being teased by Zeng Shichang.

"Tell us, this world... has ghosts!"

"laugh!"

Ji Lei couldn't help but laugh.

"Master, you've become more humorous recently!"

Zeng Shichang glanced at Ji Lei without any smile in his eyes.

This made the smile on Ji Lei's face gradually disappear.

"Master, are you kidding?"

Seeing Zeng Shichang shaking his head, Ji Lei was stunned.

"No, really? But I've never seen anything like this in my life!"

"At first, I didn't believe it either..."

As he spoke, Zeng Shichang took out the ID from his pocket.

When I opened the side of the certificate with the badge, I found that the original badge had changed its appearance.

In the middle of the badge, there was a thumb-sized white jade stone inlaid. At this moment, the stone was emitting a faint orange-red light.

"Uh... Master, why is your ID different from mine? What is this stone? Is this the new version of the ID?"

Zeng Shichang handed the certificate to Ji Lei, and then said: "This is the new certificate issued to me by the bureau after the last meeting, and the stone is what the higher-ups gave me."

"What's the use of this stone? It's quite warm."

Ji Lei touched the stone, his face full of curiosity.

"It is said that if you encounter a ghost, this stone will glow and become hot."

"Uh……"

Ji Lei, who was touching the stone, was stunned.

"And then? What should we do after there is a ghost?"

"The boss said that if you encounter a situation where the stone glows or gets hot, you should run away first, and then trigger a device, which is this thing on my keychain that looks like an electronic car key."

Ji Lei looked at Zeng Shichang's keys and the corner of his mouth twitched.

"Then Master, why don't you run away?"

Although he thought it was absurd, Ji Lei still followed Zeng Shichang's logic.

Zeng Shichang shook his head.

"This is just a normal situation. The higher-ups also mentioned a situation."

Zeng Shichang looked at the fog that seemed to be thicker than before, and continued: "If you encounter fog and your cell phone has no signal, don't run away. Stay with as many people as possible and wait for rescue."

"And there is that piece of jade, it can protect us for a while."

Ji Lei looked at the stone, then at Zeng Shichang, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.

Don’t believe it?
Zeng Shichang has already spoken about this matter so seriously, isn't this just undermining his plan?

But to say that you believe...isn't this just nonsense!

There is no way. Ji Lei's emotional intelligence tells him that no matter whether it is true or false, he should not say anything now. Whatever Zeng Shichang says, that is it!

Just as he handed the documents back, Ji Lei suddenly heard screams coming from outside the yard, in the direction of the village.

This kind of scream is definitely not what would be caused by a fall.

Subconsciously, Ji Lei rushed towards the gate and soon arrived outside.

At this moment, he completely forgot what Zeng Shichang had just said about staying here and waiting for people to come.

When Zeng Shichang saw this scene, before he could say anything, the other two policemen who followed him also rushed out.

Zeng Shichang had no choice but to follow him out.

As for Shen Zhihong and the others, there is nothing we can do about them now.

Shen Zhihong and others were a little confused when they saw this situation.

"Master Shen, do we still need to stay here?"

Wan Bin asked.

Shen Zhihong looked at the growing fog and thought of some bad things.

I seem to have seen this situation somewhere before.

But he thought about it for a long time and still couldn't remember.

For the first time, he felt old.

"Let's go to the car first!"

Although he didn't remember the specific situation, Shen Zhihong's intuition still allowed him to make his own judgment.

He walked quickly toward the door and everyone followed.

When Shen Zhihong and others went out, they found that Zeng Shichang and others had disappeared.

It was at this time that they realized that the visibility outside was less than 50 meters.

"Walk."

Shen Zhihong frowned and led everyone towards the place where the cars were parked at the entrance of the village.

Soon, they saw their three cars.

After getting in the car, Shen Zhihong asked Wan Bin to drive.

"Master Shen, where are you going?"

"Drive, get out of here first."

Shen Zhihong became increasingly uneasy, and his tone was no longer as gentle as before.

Wan Bin's heart skipped a beat and he immediately started the car and drove towards the outside of Yujia Village, with the other two cars following closely behind.

Two minutes later, when Wan Bin accidentally saw the convenience store appear in front of him again, he was stunned.

"Is there another village nearby?"

Su Yongliang, who was sitting in the passenger seat, was originally thinking about other things, but he came back to his senses after hearing Wan Bin's words.

Turning his head, he looked at the convenience store at the edge of the fog and immediately frowned.

"You lost your way? How did you get back?"

"I……"

Wan Bin wanted to say something, but he suppressed it.

Maybe he really took the wrong road?

But two minutes later, the car stopped.

This time, Su Yongliang did not lose focus and watched Wan Bin drive from beginning to end.

But...why did you come back again?

The two looked at each other, and just as they were confused, they suddenly heard the sound of a door opening behind them.

Turning around, who else could it be but Shen Zhihong?
Wan Bin and Su Yongliang hurriedly got out of the car and followed him, but Shen Zhihong did not leave after getting out of the car. Instead, he walked to the back of the car, opened the trunk, and took out a suitcase.

Seeing this, Wan Bin hurriedly reached out to help and put the box on the ground.

He knew this box. It was the box that Master Shen had carried with him since the beginning. He always thought that it contained Master Shen's clothes, but when the box was opened, he could see clearly what was inside.

There were clothes, indeed, but only two sets, which took up only one door of the box.

On the other door, there is a wooden box, similar to the size of the mooncake box used during festivals.

In addition to the wooden box, there is also a rice sieve and a dark red rope woven from unknown material.

Wan Bin's eyes lit up as if he had thought of something.

Then he saw Shen Zhihong take out the rice sieve and stand up.

When Wan Bin was excitedly looking to see what Master Shen was going to do, he was shocked to find that Master Shen just put the rice sieve on his face and looked around.

Nothing miraculous happened during this period.

guessed wrong?
At this moment, the rice sieve was put down, and the expression on Master Shen's face became extremely serious.

"Shen..."

Wan Bin wanted to ask what happened, but Shen Zhihong squatted down again. This time, he took out the wooden box.

The box is opened, revealing the three-layer structure inside.
In each layer of the box, there are five copper coins tied with five-colored knots.

Wan Bin recognized this thing. There was such a pendant on Shen Zhihong's waist.

Then, Wan Bin saw Shen Zhihong reach out and take out a copper coin pendant and hand it to him.

"Take it."

Wan Bin continued subconsciously, and then he saw Master Shen calling out names while handing out copper coin pendants one by one.

After Zhao Hong left, there were only eleven people left in the team, and each of them had a copper coin in his hand.

Among the eleven people, some were frowning like Wan Bin and Su Yongliang, some looked confused, and some were happily hanging copper coins on their key chains.

But no one said anything. They just watched Shen Zhihong close the box and hand it to Su Yongliang.

"Keep this box safe."

After saying that, Shen Zhihong took the dark red rope from the box in his hand.

After all this was done, Shen Zhihong looked at everyone and said slowly: "We are facing some problems now, and I can't say that I can take care of you afterwards, so you must hold on to that copper coin, understand?"

Shen Zhihong's serious expression made everyone startled.

Although they knew nothing, they all nodded.

This is the position of Shen Zhihong in their hearts.

"Well, follow me into the village now."

Shen Zhihong held the net sieve in one hand and the soul-binding rope in the other, and walked towards Yujia Village.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed. They were originally a little nervous, but suddenly calmed down after seeing Shen Zhihong's back.

But they didn't know that Shen Zhihong, whom they regarded as their backer, was the first time to take the initiative to face a supernatural event.

Soon, everyone was immersed in the thick fog and disappeared.

……

Huchi~
Huchi~
Zeng Shichang, covered in blood, pulled Ji Lei out, but Ji Lei's dazed look hindered Zeng Shichang's actions.

"Ji Lei! Cheer up! Bang!"

After a slap, Zeng Shichang's fear dissipated a little, and Ji Lei seemed to come back to his senses.

"Master, Lao Li and the others, they..."

Ji Lei said this with a pale face, and was about to lose consciousness again.

Zeng Shichang didn't hesitate and slapped him again.

"Have you forgotten about your mom? Have you forgotten about your girlfriend? If you don't snap out of it now, they'll never see you again!"

Zeng Shichang's words shocked Ji Lei all over.

"Yes, yes, mom, Xiao Xia, nothing can happen to me, nothing can happen to me!"

As Ji Lei spoke, he started running towards the village entrance with Zeng Shichang.

But after running for five minutes, they still couldn't find the entrance to the village.

At this time, the visibility of the fog in the village was less than ten meters.

"Master, what is going on?"

Zeng Shichang's face turned pale. He seemed to have heard his superiors talk about these things in the meeting. But he just thought it was ridiculous at that time and didn't remember what to do if he encountered such a thing.

Turning around, Zeng Shichang looked around and finally fixed his eyes on a pile of firewood next to a house's door.

Pulling Ji Lei, Zeng Shichang ran over and pushed aside the pile of firewood.

He first stuffed Ji Lei in, and then he gathered the firewood again before hiding inside and sealing the entrance.

Hiding in the firewood pile, Zeng Shichang suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he knew that this pile of firewood would be of little use against those things, the small space still gave him a sense of security.

What's more, he still has the jade in his hand.

Taking out his ID from his pocket and opening it, Zeng Shichang's eyes were not attracted by the glowing stone. He was looking at the bloodstains on the stone.

The blood did not belong to them, but to the other two policemen who came with them.

Thinking of the scene where the two men had slit their throats in front of them and blood splattered all over them, Zeng Shichang's face turned paler.

After calming down, he also understood why he and Ji Lei were fine.

His eyes fell on the stone, and Zeng Shichang carefully wiped the blood off the stone with his clothes.

The temperature came from the stone, and Zeng Shichang's panic was somewhat dispelled.

Turning around, Zeng Shichang felt a pang in his heart when he saw Ji Lei's eyes rolling around like a frightened kitten.

Ji Lei is his apprentice, but in fact he already regards Ji Lei as his younger brother.

Seeing him like this, how could Zeng Shichang not feel distressed.

"Leizi, warm yourself up."

Zeng Shichang handed over the certificate and hit Ji Lei's hand with a stone.

The warmth was passed on, and the fear on Ji Lei's face finally dissipated a little.

After a long while, Ji Lei finally said, "Master, are there really ghosts in this world?"

"..."

Zeng Shichang did not reply.

He knew Ji Lei already had the answer.

Although they had never seen a ghost from beginning to end, what had just happened to the two colleagues and the villagers who died in the room had already answered this question.

Apart from ghosts, he couldn't think of anything else that would make two grown men slit their own necks.

"Master, tell me, when will the people who rescue us come? Do they know any magic?"

Zeng Shichang looked bitter.

"I don't know either. I hope... they will."

The topic ended and silence fell between the two again.

But this silence was soon broken.

It was not broken by two people, but by the sound of footsteps coming from nowhere.

The firewood was not stacked tightly, and through the gaps, both of them could see a little of the situation outside.

At least they could still see some of the conditions on the road not far from them.

As the footsteps got closer, the two finally saw the source of the footsteps.

"Woo..."

After seeing the two figures, Zeng Shichang immediately covered Ji Lei's mouth next to him, blocking Ji Lei's screams in advance.

His action directly saved his and Ji Lei's lives.

Ji Lei also realized what mistake he had made just now. His body was stiff, his eyes were wide open, and he stared at the two figures wearing blood-stained uniforms with blood still flowing from their necks without blinking.

Only after the footsteps completely disappeared did Zeng Shichang let go of Ji Lei's mouth.

Ji Lei finally dared to breathe.

After taking a quick breath, Ji Lei looked at Zeng Shichang, his eyes full of horror and fear.

But Zeng Shichang just raised his index finger to his lips and didn't say anything more.

Is Zeng Shichang afraid?
Of course I am afraid, but what’s the use of being afraid now that things have come to this?

Just like when he first joined the police force and followed his master to catch thieves.

Even though he knew the thief was armed, his master still rushed over.

After catching the thief, Zeng Shichang asked his master why he was so brave.

His master smiled and said, "When something is destined to be done and there is no choice, looking ahead and behind will only make things worse."

Since then, Zeng Shichang spent three years to understand this truth, and another three years to put it into practice, and finally became the team leader.

At this moment, when his rationality returned, Zeng Shichang once again put this truth into practice.

Ji Lei seemed to be affected by Zeng Shichang's calmness. His body was no longer tense and he slowly relaxed.

"Zeng Shichang, Ji Lei, if you hear me, please answer!"

Suddenly, a sound came from the thick fog outside, accompanied by the sound of sirens.

Both of them were stunned.

"Zeng Shichang, Ji Lei, please answer if you hear me! We are the rescue team, and we are here to take you out. Please answer if you hear me!"

This time, there was a look of surprise in both of their eyes.

Ji Lei pushed aside the pile of firewood and rushed out without saying a word.

Although Zeng Shichang was startled by Ji Lei's recklessness, after seeing that there was nothing happening around him, he grabbed his ID and followed him.

"Zeng Shichang, Ji Lei, if you hear me, please answer..."

Hearing the sound coming from more than ten meters ahead, Ji Lei, who was running in front, immediately shouted.

“Here we are!”

Ji Lei turned around excitedly and shouted to Zeng Shichang: "Master, hurry up!"

Zeng Shichang ran two meters behind Ji Lei.

But suddenly, Zeng Shichang stopped abruptly, and the excitement of surviving the disaster on his face disappeared, replaced by a pale face.

"Leizi, stop!"

Zeng Shichang was a beat slow to react. By the time he shouted this sentence, Ji Lei had already run in front of the two figures.

Ji Lei, who had just turned around, was grabbed by the neck by one of the two figures.

With his face flushed, Ji Lei heard the voice calling them again.

"Zeng Shichang, Ji Lei, if you hear me, please answer..."

The sound did not come from the mouths of the two people in front of him, but from their broken throats.

The force on his neck became stronger and stronger, and Ji Lei's eyes began to roll up.

Zeng Shichang roared when he saw this scene, and rushed over with the jade on the certificate.

But just as he took one step, a dark shadow passed by and Zeng Shichang's hand holding the ID card fell to the ground.

Zeng Shichang was stunned, looking at his arm on the ground, and then at the axe that had just passed by.

Zeng Shichang screamed in severe pain and retreated backwards holding his arms.

Bang!
The touch from his back made Zeng Shichang's already pale face even paler.

Turn around.

Within a ten-meter radius, there were densely packed people, all of them... people who had their necks cut.

Zeng Shichang fell backwards to the ground with a look of despair on his face.

“Why…why…why is this happening…”

Looking at the people gathering around him, Zeng Shichang closed his eyes.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!
Bang!Bang!Bang!
A series of peculiar voices were heard, and then Zeng Shichang heard shouts.

"Officer Zeng, run!"

Zeng Shichang suddenly opened his eyes and saw seven or eight bodies falling in front of him.

Each of these corpses had a copper coin pendant weighing down their bodies.

Turning around, Zeng Shichang looked at the two uniformed figures behind him.

One of them had already fallen, also with copper coins on him.

The other figure who had just grabbed Ji Lei was tied up with a dark red rope and was silent.

Just as Zeng Shichang was stunned, Ji Lei was already running towards him, coughing, and dragging his intact arm towards the direction where the sound came from.

As the distance got closer, Zeng Shichang could see the dozen or so figures in the thick fog.

If it’s not Shen Zhihong and others, who else could it be?

Zeng Shichang opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

But he had lost too much blood and his vision had begun to blur.

"It turns out that he is really a capable person."

Before he fell into complete coma, Zeng Shichang heard someone shouting something again.

"Yincha Shen Zhihong, please come down!"

A strange thing?

what is that……

Zeng Shichang tried hard to open his eyes, but he could only see a flash of fire through the slits of his eyes.

"So, is it a spell?"
