Chapter 81 The Five-Year Divide
Wan Yi turned around and dodged the machete swung by the opponent.
Others ran away without hesitation at this time.
Xu Shen threw a small Yuan Qi bullet at Curse's body, delaying its movement and giving Wan Yi plenty of time to escape.
The people in front were still rushing, but halfway through, the wooden boards under their feet seemed to have become rotten due to years of aging, and were finally overwhelmed by the intense running of so many people.
Boom!
Everyone felt a lightness under their feet, and then their bodies fell downwards.
Fortunately, it's not too deep down there. After a brief period of weightlessness, the buttocks are about to burst with pain.
"The floor is really cracked." Wan Yi crossed his legs and maintained an elegant sitting posture.
"Can you please get off me first?" Xu Shen was depressed as Wan Yi sat on his butt.
Everyone got up from the ground and looked around.
The underground of the old apartment was even more messy, with messy pipes arranged vertically and horizontally, and a faint stench lingering there. The wind was leaking from nowhere, and from time to time you could feel a chill sweeping through it.
"basement?"
"Looks like it."
There was a door not far ahead, and heavy footsteps came from the floor above their heads. Everyone could only run forward and arrived at the door.
"If the other party really lured us down, then there might be something important hidden here." Zheng Songrong said.
Hearing this, everyone hesitated.
This one might lead to death!
Boom!
Behind him, the machete curse also jumped down, approaching with an evil spirit.
Without any time to think, Zheng Songrong opened the door.
Behind the door is a storage room filled with supplies that have not been used for a long time.
But these are not the most noticeable.
The important thing is that there is a strong stench floating here, the smell of rotting flesh and mold, as well as the piles of white bones, hair, and teeth.
This should be a storage room, but it's hard to say who actually used it to store what.
"Wait a minute, Brother Xiong seems to have said that there was a murderer in this area more than ten years ago who repeatedly committed murders but was not caught!" One person suddenly remembered a point mentioned when everyone was summarizing the news together.
This point is not taken very seriously, because although he is a murderer, he is not the same as their original target.
As we all know, those who kill with curses do not spit out bones.
Rarely does a significant amount of corpse remains remain.
Bang!
A loud noise startled everyone. When they turned around, they saw Wan Yi closing the door and locking it. At the same time, several heavy boxes containing supplies were brought in and piled at the door.
"What are you..."
"Why are you dazed? People behind you are almost coming in." Wan Yi said.
"It's nothing, I just feel like you're blocking the door to prevent us from going out..." Xu Shen couldn't help but say.
"It doesn't matter. When the time comes, whichever one of you with more strength can blow open the door and the thing blocking it, or be more aggressive and head straight to the ground." Wan Yi patted the cardboard box behind him and said.
In this way, everyone relaxed a little.
Although this space is not suitable for relaxing.
Wan Yi took pictures everywhere in the room.
"This is a newspaper!" At this time, Xu Shen discovered something in the corner of the room.
Everyone gathered around and saw a stack of torn newspapers, and the contents of the newspapers were all about murderers. According to the time display above, they are all newspapers from a long time ago.
"Really the murderer?!" Everyone was surprised.
The murderer was not caught but stopped committing crimes after a certain period of time. The police here thought he had escaped, but now it seems that this was because of some accidental death that turned into a curse in this building. ah!
"The root cause of the murderer's curse is different from ordinary curses." Zheng Songrong said.
"What did Brother Zheng say?" Xu Shen asked.
"One of the characteristics of the curse is that the deceased are basically innocent. It is because they suffered unreasonable disasters that the resentment becomes stronger. It is hard to imagine that this kind of murderer's resentment can be so strong that it becomes a curse, and I don't know what he went through. "Zheng Songrong said.
"Murderer, no wonder Brother Xiong and the others couldn't find out the previous accidents in this building after searching for a long time, because the curse hidden here actually has nothing to do with the building itself!" Xu Shen said.
"Is this considered a trick of time and space?"
"We also chose it ourselves, there is nothing we can do about it."
"Who chose it in the first place?"
"..."
Zheng Songrong was silent.
"Hey! No! Brother Zheng, we are not talking about you!"
"Yes, no!"
Zheng Songrong shook his head: "No need, there is indeed a problem with my choice. The murderer's grievance is not big, which caused me to misjudge. I am still not good at learning, and there is nothing to say."
"Although it is true that he is not good at academics, I feel that the biggest problem may not be with the murderer." At this moment, Wan Yi said.
Everyone looked at him and saw that he was picking at the remaining human remains on the ground with what must have been a relatively thick bone without any disdain.
"Not on the murderer?"
Now that the situation is urgent, Zheng Songrong also admitted that it was indeed his misjudgment. He had no objection to the ridicule in Wan Yi's words, and was more concerned about Wan Yi's thinking.
"If the grievance is not big, then it is not very powerful as a curse. At least it is impossible to directly attack the supernatural attacks prepared by Zheng Songrong and others." Wan Yi said.
"Indeed, but the characteristics of the curse can only be inferred based on the performance and clues. Without systematic research, it is impossible to be sure that such a violent person will not become a powerful curse." Zheng Songrong said rigorously.
At the critical moment, Wan Yi realized that although the other party was someone who wanted to be with a rich woman, he obviously had his own strengths. Even if he didn't have any skills, he couldn't even be with a rich woman.
"I have investigated a little bit." Wan Yi did not continue with this question, but suddenly turned to another topic.
"Did you investigate? When?"
"Hey, I didn't talk to the police and asked him a lot of things when you didn't care." Wan Yi said with a smile.
The others frowned slightly, but did not speak, choosing instead to continue listening.
"Actually, five years ago, this city was relatively normal. Social security was quite stable, and the police stations here were still good neighbors who were enthusiastic citizens." Wan Yidao.
"Then, the number of bizarre murders increased, and the police gradually lost confidence. This is what happened later."
"Did something happen in the meantime?" Xu Shen asked.
"It was just an earthquake five years ago."
"earthquake?"
"Yes. At that time, Brother Xiong and the others also considered whether the earthquake would cause a large number of curses to be born, and they consciously investigated it. However, the final results showed that the damage caused by the earthquake was very small. Although there was an obvious shaking sensation, it was not strong. , There are not many death cases. But..." the man said, looking at Wan Yi with a somewhat thoughtful look.
"But what? Don't show off!"
"However, during the earthquake, there were indeed many murders. In the end, it was judged that someone took advantage of the chaos caused by the earthquake to cover up the murders." The man said.
silence.
Combined with Wan Yi's news, although there was no solid evidence, a terrible conjecture formed in their minds.
Before the earthquake, everything was normal. Several cases occurred during the earthquake. After the earthquake, the curse grew and spread...
"The earthquake couldn't have caused anything outrageous..." Xu Shen's tone was trembling.
Crunch——
Suddenly, a strange noise occurred in the room.
Everyone immediately became nervous.
The sound kept ringing from all corners of the room, as if something was crawling around quickly.
"This is a guess of mine." Wan Yi continued calmly.
"Suppose that before this, there was a very strong curse in this city..."
Crunch——
"Then its place of activity is the city's underground pipelines extending in all directions..."
Boom!
The exposed pipes in the storage room were shaking violently, as if something was about to burst out of them.
"Its impact on the surface has always been limited, so it didn't have much impact on the outside world. Until the earthquake five years ago, some pipelines had some problems..."
Bang!
A pipe broke directly, and then a large amount of thick black hair with the smell of sewage spread out from inside.
When the others saw this, they all understood.
It is indeed not the problem of the murderer, but that the murderer is just a cover!
The real source of the grudge is hidden too well.
