The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 17 Contact
Unable to bear the gloom in the building, Fatty, who was originally planning to go to work as usual, found an excuse and asked for a day off.

It was not yet dark and there were occasional pedestrians passing by outside.

Every time the fat boy came out of the building and saw a living person, he felt a sense of closeness, as if his own breath of life had increased a little.

The tragic deaths of his two colleagues could not be shaken off his mind.

Coupled with the occasional strange incidents that broke out in the building, Fatty has always suspected that there must be something unclean in the building.

It was not until daytime that the master Danyang who came to him told him and his colleague Zhang Jinqiang that there were indeed unclean things in the building, and they had targeted Zhang Jinqiang, who had a special date of birth. As to why Zhang Jinqiang did not get into trouble, further investigation was needed.

Although that thing didn't target him for the time being, Fatty still felt uneasy.

Who knows if that ghost thing will suddenly find itself on your body?

Get your salary as soon as possible and then quit...

Fatty took out his keys and opened his old Toyota.

This car is too old and has traveled hundreds of thousands of miles. It is almost on the verge of being scrapped. When the engine starts, the whole car makes a rattling sound.

Most people can't drive this car. Only the fat guy who is very familiar with the car's conditions can drive it smoothly.

The car came out of the parking lot and walked a few hundred meters, then suddenly stopped when it was about to reach the intersection.

Fatty honked his horn repeatedly to remind the man standing in front of the car to move aside, but the man pointed at him, as if he wanted to hitchhike.

Seeing that the other person was alone, without any tools, and very thin, as if he was sick and might be going to the hospital, the fat guy felt sympathy, opened the car window, and directly invited the other person to get in the car.

But as soon as the other party got in the car, Fatty regretted it.

It was already dark, and he hadn't seen the other person's face clearly just now. It wasn't until the other person got on the car that he turned around and saw the other person's face clearly.

He was not very old, but his complexion was very ugly. His sickly yellowish color was tinged with an evil blue hue. His eyes were bloodshot and he looked a bit crazy, which could easily make people feel wary and frightened.

Such a person doesn't look like a positive character at all.

It’s too late to regret now. They have already gotten on the bus, so we can only get them off as soon as possible.

Fatty glanced at the back seat through the rearview mirror and asked calmly, "Where are you going? I don't necessarily pass by where you're going."

The person who had been monitoring the building and finally waited for the fat boy was naturally Li Zhen.

Hearing Fatty's words, Li Zhen didn't respond. Instead, he feigned surprise and said, "Strange! Your complexion is dark, your brows are black, and your Qi and blood are completely suppressed by Yin Qi. These are signs of being struck by evil spirits. Yet, you are free of illness and disaster. It's truly a miracle."

Hearing this, the surprised Fatty almost stepped on the accelerator instead of the brake.

The other party actually knew about the building...

Is this a meeting with a master?
Fatty subconsciously thought of Master Danyang.

At that time, Master Danyang came to him and Zhang Jinqiang on his own.

But this guy looks very different from the Danyang Master. He doesn't look like a master at all...

Glancing at Li Zhen through the rearview mirror a few more times, Fatty slowed down the car and smirked, "Nonsense! What kind of world is this? Are you saying I'm possessed by evil spirits?"

"Please, if you want to scam me, find someone else. Who am I, Fatty? I'm a night shift security guard. I have to patrol the building every night. Do you know that? Are you possessed by evil spirits? Who are you trying to scare?"

Seeing that Fatty was actually testing him, Li Zhen smiled nonchalantly, "Before that building appeared, that location was a haunted house with many unclean things in it."

"It's said that many children died there in the past, and the resentment was so strong that they eventually became ghosts in the haunted house." "When the building was built, the developers knew about this, but for economic reasons, they deliberately turned a blind eye. As long as they got the money first, they didn't care how many people died later."

After hearing Li Zhen's first sentence, Fatty stepped on the brakes and stopped the car on the side of the road.

He had worked in the building for more than a year and didn't know these inside stories, but the other party actually knew them, which sounded plausible.

If that was true, then didn't he patrol the haunted house every night?
Thinking about himself patrolling alone in the dark night with a bunch of little kids watching him, Fatty's heart shuddered.

Turning to look at Li Zhen, Fatty asked in surprise, "Are you a Feng Shui master? According to you, if there are so many unclean things here, why was there nothing wrong before?"

"I only know a little about feng shui, I can't be called a master," Li Zhen said. "If nothing happens, it's because the time hasn't come yet. If something happens, it's because the time has come. If certain special people enter this building, it will become the cause of the trouble."

"A special person..." Fatty's heart moved.

Are you talking about his colleague Zhang Jinqiang?

All the strange things happened after Zhang Jinqiang came to the building.

Master Danyang also said that Zhang Jinqiang’s date of birth was very special and it was easy for him to be entangled by unclean things.

After listening to Li Zhen's words, Feizai was actually convinced that Li Zhen might be in the same industry as that Master Danyang.

Li Zhen continued, "That building is filled with an evil aura, and there's a scent of blood that can be smelled from afar. Someone must have been killed, and in a very brutal way."

"With such a huge grudge... you're lucky to still be alive."

"If we don't do anything and allow the situation in that building to continue to deteriorate, who knows how many more people will die. At the very least, all the security guards in that building will be killed."

What was said before must be referring to the two colleagues who were killed.

What was said next scared the fat boy.

"Master, the unclean things have even targeted me? No, no, why would they target me? I'm not a special person. What does it have to do with me?"

The reason why Fatty dared to come back even though he knew there were unclean things here was because Master Danyang said that the target of the unclean things was not him, but Zhang Jinqiang.

But now someone is telling him that he can’t escape in the end?
In addition to fear, Fatty also felt a sense of grievance.

Who who knew him wouldn't say he was a good man?

As a result, I haven't done anything yet and I'm going to be killed by something unclean?
Who wouldn’t feel wronged?

"Was the person who died earlier a special one?" Li Zhen shook his head. "The evil spirits must have their own logic for killing people. The person who was killed must have violated their taboo. Do you know what the taboo is? If you don't know, you don't know when you will die."

"If I resign and leave the building..."

"It's useless. With such a huge grudge, I'm afraid I won't let you go in the end."

Fatty swallowed his saliva and forced a smile on his face: "Master, let's find a suitable place to eat and talk. I know a restaurant with delicious food."

As soon as he started the car, the broken car suddenly roared as if it had taken medicine, and then rushed forward.

The unprepared fat boy immediately felt a powerful push on his back and exclaimed in astonishment: "I didn't step on the accelerator!"

Li Zhen, who had reached out to hold down the restless Red Blood Bat, was prepared. As soon as the car started moving, he had already grabbed the palm leaf whip hidden in his sleeve...
