Weird Cards: I've Become a Ghost
Chapter 63 Cemetery
boom!
When the heavy metal door closed again, Xiao He and the Spider Man were already outside.
As for the unconscious Jack, he is currently being held in Xiao He's arms.
Although he really didn't want to carry this thing, he had no choice, since he was the least experienced.
At this moment, the spider-man looked at Xiao He and said, "If you have nothing else to do, take him back to his room."
Xiao He could only nod in agreement, and then prepared to take the unconscious man, who was like a dead fish, back to his own room.
What could possibly happen to him? After all, his range of movement is limited.
However, Xiao He, who was carrying Jack up the stairs, suddenly stopped.
Then, he looked down at the Jack in his hand.
It seems this guy doesn't know the room's password!
Just as Xiao He turned around to ask the Spider Man for the room password, he saw the Spider Man running towards him.
Upon seeing this, Xiao He assumed that the other party had come specifically to tell him the room password.
However, before he could even ask, the spider-man, whose expression was slightly grave, spoke first: "Come with me."
Xiao He was slightly taken aback, but before he could ask anything, the spider-man said again, "There's a mission."
Hearing this, Xiao He glanced down at Jack, whom he was carrying, and asked helplessly, "What about him?"
Spider-Man followed Xiao He's gaze and looked at Jack in his hand. Then, he said expressionlessly, "Put him on the ground first. He'll go back when he wakes up."
"..."
Listening to the Spider-Man's words, Xiao He silently mourned for Jack for a minute, and then...
Snapped!
After casually tossing the teddy bear he was carrying on the ground, Xiao He walked up to the Spider-Man under his slightly surprised gaze and said calmly, "Let's go."
Spider-Man glanced at the bear doll lying on its back on the ground, then at Xiao He, who seemed completely unaffected.
He wondered if he had said something wrong or if the other person had misheard him.
Did I mean to "throw away" instead of "let go"?
But none of that matters anymore.
After a moment of silence, the spider-man withdrew his gaze and then led Xiao He outside.
Jack: "(ー_ー)"
......
After half an hour.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao He took a document from the Spider Man. After flipping through the document a few times, he began to ponder it slowly.
As Xiao He pondered, the Spider Man drove along the winding road, the scenery outside the window constantly flashing by, and the traffic gradually decreasing.
Soon, they left the bustling city and arrived on the suburban roads.
Suddenly, a dense forest appeared ahead, giving people a refreshing and tranquil feeling.
Right in front of the forest, there stands a huge sign that reads "Snake Head Mountain".
"Snakehead Mountain?"
Xiao He watched the sign receding into the distance outside the window, muttering to himself.
He knew about Snakehead Mountain.
Moreover, he was very familiar with Snake Head Mountain, and he knew that a small village, She Village, would appear soon after passing through this forest.
His familiarity with Snakehead Mountain and She Village is thanks to the original owner of this body, Xu Yuan.
Previously, when Xu Yuan was running a flower shop and working as a psychopathic killer, the flower seeds and fertilizer for his flower shop were sourced from Shecun.
Moreover, Snake Head Mountain was Xu Yuan's first choice for murder and burial, simply because Snake Head Mountain has a winding terrain and many wild animals. If an outsider who is not familiar with the road conditions goes in, he may not be able to come out.
Moreover, there is a cemetery next to Snake Head Mountain, which is said to have been a mass burial ground in the past. So even during the day, it is gloomy inside, and apart from the villagers of She Village, almost no outsiders go into the mountain.
Xiao He's destination today is the cemetery next to Snake Head Mountain.
Spider-Man and Xiao He continued driving, and soon a village gradually came into view; that was She Village.
However, the location of the cemetery did not require passing through Shecun Village to reach it, so when passing the village entrance, Spider Man suddenly turned the steering wheel and turned onto a country road on the left.
Meanwhile, at the village entrance, an old man smoking a cigarette watched Xiao He's car. After taking a puff of his pipe, he muttered to himself with a puzzled look, "Strange, why are so many cars going to that place these days? It's not even the time for tomb sweeping yet."
Meanwhile, Spider-Man and Xiao He had already arrived at a cemetery located at the foot of a mountain.
When their car slowly stopped at the entrance of the cemetery, Zheng Hao, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately led his team members up.
"Sir."
After greeting Spider-Man and Xiao He, Zheng Hao then reported on the progress of the investigation.
"We have already conducted an on-site investigation, and a total of eighteen new graves have been found in this cemetery."
"These new graves all have a tombstone, but..."
At this point, Zheng Hao paused slightly, his tone becoming somewhat heavy, and said, "The tombstones don't have names engraved on them, only the date the grave was erected."
"After comparing the information with the database, it has been basically confirmed that the time when these eighteen new graves appeared coincides with the recent eighteen missing persons cases."
Listening to Zheng Hao's investigation report, the Spider-Man's eyes narrowed slightly, and then he revealed an expression of "I knew it."
Recently, several missing persons cases have occurred in Binhai City, and all of these missing persons disappeared late at night.
At first, the coastal city's patrol teams and inspection teams thought it was just an "ordinary" series of disappearances.
However, just as the patrol team members were preparing to investigate the case, a man who claimed to have witnessed the entire disappearance approached them.
The man said he witnessed a very dilapidated taxi parked on the side of the road, and a passerby seemed to suddenly lose his mind and get into the taxi.
As for why it's described as losing one's temper, it's because a normal person would avoid a taxi like the plague at the sight of it, so how could they possibly open the door and get in willingly?
According to the person who came to the door, the model of the taxi had been discontinued more than 20 years ago, and all taxis of that model had been scrapped ten years ago. It is impossible for there to be a single taxi of that model in Binhai City now.
As for why that person knew so much, it's because he was also a taxi driver. When the incident happened, he was scrolling through his phone in his car, which is why he witnessed everything.
Moreover, the taxi driver said that although it was a bit late and the environment was a bit dark, his 18K gold eyes could still tell at a glance that the driver of that dilapidated taxi was not human.
Who would wear makeup that makes them look like a dead person and go out to solicit customers late at night?
Doing things this way, you'd be lucky if you didn't get complaints from customers, let alone attract them.
After listening to the taxi driver who had come to the door, the patrol officer in charge of recording the information immediately conducted a preliminary examination. After confirming that the man was not mentally unstable and that his eyesight was indeed excellent, the patrol officer decided to preliminarily classify the case as a "strange" incident and submitted it to the Night Watchers Division.
Initially, this bizarre case was handled by Zheng Hao and a team of logistics personnel.
After all, not all bizarre attacks are left to Spider-Man and Xiao He to handle. For ordinary bizarre incidents, Zheng Hao and the logistics team he currently leads are more than capable of handling them.
However, just as Zheng Hao was preparing to begin investigating this strange incident, another witness came to his door.
This time, however, the other party said that those people disappeared after boarding an old bus, and he only remembered it after seeing the photos of the missing people in the news the next day.
Although the "means of transportation" had changed this time, Zheng Hao still discovered the connection between the two cases through the other party's description.
It was the same vehicle that had long been scrapped, and the same driver who wore makeup to resemble a dead person.
The only difference is that one happened in the east of the city, while the other happened in the west.
Just as Zheng Hao thought this was a bizarre case involving a "gang," he immediately realized that the strange event was far beyond his capabilities, so he decided to hand it over to Spider Man and Xiao He, the two ghost hunters, to handle.
However, just as he was about to submit it, another witness came up to him.
Moreover, what the other party said left Zheng Hao speechless.
"I'm absolutely certain, that was a rickshaw!"
Zheng Hao still remembers the very confident tone of the old man who had lost several front teeth.
Taxis and buses are one thing, but why is a rickshaw suddenly appearing?
In this era, apart from some performances, rickshaws have not only ceased to be a basic mode of transportation, but have practically disappeared from the public eye.
But no matter what, this strange incident is no longer under Zheng Hao's jurisdiction.
To date, the number of people who have gone missing due to various means of transportation has reached eighteen.
As for how Spider-Man and Xiao He knew that the eighteen people were now quietly "lying" in this cemetery, they had to thank a few guys who were racing cars late at night.
Furthermore, to express his gratitude to these street racers, Spider-Man specifically instructed the patrol team to detain them for a few more days, so that they wouldn't be targeted by the supernatural after their release.
at the same time.
Xiao He followed behind the Spider Man, looking at the tall and gloomy iron gate at the entrance of the cemetery. He couldn't help but think of a scene from a movie, which made him shiver.
I wonder if those eighteen people will get up from the ground in the middle of the night.
At this moment, Spider-Man also suggested going to see the eighteen new graves, so Zheng Hao immediately opened the tomb gate and led Spider-Man and Xiao He toward the new graves.
Even on a bright, sunny day, the eerie atmosphere emanating from the cemetery cannot be concealed.
The moment everyone stepped into the cemetery, a chilling aura swept over them, sending shivers down their spines.
A thin mist hung over the cemetery, enveloping the surrounding tombstones and bushes, and in some unseen corners, some unknown danger seemed to be lurking.
As they carefully walked along the paths of the cemetery, they could clearly feel the oppressive and gloomy atmosphere in the air.
Perhaps because few people come to sweep the graves on ordinary days, the silence in the cemetery at this moment is frightening. There is only the slight sound of the wind blowing through the branches. But for some reason, apart from Spider Man and Xiao He, the rest of the logistics team members, including Zheng Hao, felt that the originally crisp and pleasant sound of the wind blowing through the leaves made them feel creeped out.
As they continued onward, the path ahead became increasingly winding; after all, strictly speaking, these paths were not meant for the living.
Just then, Spider-Man, walking along the path, suddenly frowned. He noticed some tattered flowers and some paper money that hadn't completely burned out scattered among the tombstones.
The spider-man turned to Zheng Hao: "Has anyone come here to pay respects at the graves these past few days?"
After pondering for a moment, Zheng Hao shook his head and replied, "It's not very clear. The cemetery's surveillance cameras are broken, and the surrounding iron fences are rusted, with several large holes in some places. So it's not certain yet whether someone has come to sweep the graves."
As he spoke, Zheng Hao also looked at the tattered blood and paper money, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
That's strange. Were these things here before?
Thinking of this, Zheng Hao seemed to have realized something and continued, "However, there is a gravedigger in this cemetery who knows the situation here quite well. Should we ask him?"
Upon hearing this, the Spider-Man silently gazed at the desolate and silent cemetery before him.
"No need, continue leading the way."
Just then, a gust of wind suddenly blew by, and the surrounding leaves fell one after another.
Looking at the fallen leaves, Xiao He's gaze involuntarily turned to a tombstone with dense grass.
There was a very old-looking grave there, with grass growing almost up to his chest.
In front of this grave was a broken tombstone. With Xiao He's eyesight, he could clearly see the blurry characters engraved on the tombstone. The characters had been eroded by time and were no longer recognizable, but the character "祥" (auspicious) could still be vaguely discerned.
Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the grass next to the tombstone, and Xiao He's eyes narrowed.
Could it be arriving soon?
Fortunately, it was just a false alarm.
When Xiao He saw a mouse emerge from the grass, he subconsciously shook his head and smiled, "So it's just a mouse."
Speaking of which, the rats in the cemetery usually eat...
"It's just ahead."
Just as Xiao He was silently thinking about something, Zheng Hao's voice suddenly came from afar.
Xiao He turned his head and realized that he had fallen behind.
Thinking of this, he immediately jogged over.
Just as he reached Spider-Man and Zheng Hao, a strong gust of wind suddenly swept in, scattering the grass in front of them, and then a shocking scene appeared before everyone's eyes.
Xiao He was slightly taken aback.
"This is......"
