Chapter 355: The Ghost Face in the Black Hole
The aura of Mr. Li's soul dissipated into the distance.
Jiang Ci didn't waste any time and rushed out in a hurry, chasing the enemy all the way out of Jincheng and stopped at an abandoned mine.
What comes into view is a huge sinkhole. The resources here have been over-exploited and the area has been abandoned after the minerals were exhausted.
The mountains and fields are full of devastation, the scene is gray and black, and there is no grass growing.
Jiang Ci stood on the black land and felt a wave of dead silence coming towards him.
It's like this all around, as if the world has lost its vitality here.
Jiang Ci's eyes moved, looking towards a dark abandoned mine.
The breath of Elder Li's soul emanating from inside was already very faint.
But she was sure that his soul was inside.
Jiang Ci went into the mine without hesitation. The mine was deep and narrow.
She muttered, "I should have brought Jun Yan with me."
The old fox digs the hole the fastest, whoosh!
The deeper they went into the mine, the more fallen rocks they saw everywhere, and they almost hit her.
"We're almost a thousand meters down." Jiang Ci estimated the depth. The deeper he went, the more frightened he became.
Everywhere you look, the earth looks like it has been eaten away by termites, with holes all over it.
She sighed deeply: "Not thinking about future generations, what a sin!"
Suddenly, a bloody ghost face flashed before my eyes.
Jiang Ci suddenly stopped and looked towards the mine next to him, "Stop!"
She scolded.
A ghost figure curled up in the cave, carefully poked his head out and asked her: "Are you the rescuer?"
Jiang Ci was stunned and looked up and down at the ghost's clothes.
He was a middle-aged man, hunched over, wearing tattered work clothes, with scars all over his body from being hit by rocks.
It was obvious that he was a miner, a worker who died in the mines.
But it seemed that he had not yet realized that he was dead.
Jiang Ci hummed, "Besides you, is there anyone else?"
The miner's face lit up with joy, and he said excitedly: "Yes, yes, yes! Besides me, there are more than 20 other workers! But I got lost from them..."
Jiang Ci frowned. If there were still more than twenty souls here, it would definitely be a major accident.
However, there was no mine collapse in the surrounding area, and it seemed more like it was abandoned after mining.
Jiang Ci asked him to follow her while she searched for the soul of Mr. Li and the souls of other people.
After searching all the way, I finally found Mr. Li at the end.
Mr. Li's limbs were nailed down and he couldn't move at all.
When he saw Jiang Ci appear in front of him, his old face was stunned: "Master Jiang? Why did you come down? Go away!"
Jiang Ci quickly stepped forward and pulled out the things that were nailed into his limbs.
There are four pieces of black talisman paper.
The spell on the talisman paper is a soul-fixing spell.
"Who killed you?" she asked.
When Mr. Li mentioned this, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's that evil doll ghost!"
"After I got home, it attacked me. I saw clearly that it was a doll the size of a human, holding a sword. It also nailed these pieces of debris into my hands and feet."
"Master Jiang, stop talking about this. Get out of here quickly. It must have deliberately led you here."
"If a mine collapses, you will never be able to escape."
“Go!”
Mr. Li pushed her hard.
Jiang Ci's attention was attracted by the thing behind him.
All I saw was a wall made of rubble, and a white bone could be vaguely seen inside.
She raised her hand and split the rocks apart with one palm.
Boom!
The pile of rocks collapsed, and a corpse that had already turned into bones fell down with a loud bang.
Jiang Ci took it and took a look. He saw that the clothes worn on the skeleton were exactly those of the miner behind him.
The miner was still in shock and screamed, "Why are there dead bones? Oh my god, something has happened!"
Old Li looked between him and the bones with a complicated gaze and fell into a rare silence.
Jiang Ci briefly examined the body and said, "He died from a severe blow to the head."
"There must have been an accident in the mine. He must have been killed by a rock. How pitiful." The miner muttered.
Jiang Ci gave Mr. Li a wink.
Mr. Li understood what he meant and stepped forward to grab the miner, "Let's get out first."
The miner smiled and asked in confusion: "Old man, you are so old, why are you still imitating the young people to come down and search and rescue?"
Mr. Li: “…”
Jiang Ci was just packing up the corpse with tattered clothes.
As one man and two ghosts were chasing upwards.
A strange sound roared from deep underground.
The surroundings began to shake and rocks fell!
Mr. Li’s face changed drastically: “Master Jiang, run!”
The miner was almost crying with fear, "I don't want to die, my wife is still waiting for me to go back and pay the children's tuition..."
There was a loud roar as if the earth was being torn apart.
The falling rocks became more and more numerous and larger, and soon blocked the way out.
Jiang Ci dodged and turned into a blind corner of the mine.
Mr. Li dragged the miner in.
"Master Jiang, it's all my fault. I'm the one who implicated you. If I hadn't chased the evil doll ghost here, you wouldn't be trapped here to death..." Old Li blamed himself very much.
Jiang Ci smiled disapprovingly and said, "It's okay. I knew I'd be trapped when I came in. It's no big deal."
Mr. Li felt even more guilty. "It's so difficult to rescue people in such a deep mine!"
The miners nearby seemed to be frightened and huddled in a corner, trembling.
"I don't want to die... I can't die... I still have to pay for my child's tuition and send him to college... They are waiting for me to come home for the New Year..."
He held his head, his face full of horror.
Jiang Ci said, "Mr. Li, wait until things calm down outside, then go out and explore the way."
Mr. Li nodded.
Jiang Ci put down the corpse and spread it out in front of the miner.
"You've been dead for many years."
She cruelly revealed the truth.
The miner was stunned. "Ah? How could I be dead? I am not dead. I have been waiting for rescue in the mine."
Mr. Li asked him, "How long have you been waiting?"
The miner thought hard and said, "I waited a long time... I don't remember it very well."
Jiang Ci pointed at the clothes on the corpse and then pointed at the clothes on his body.
"This corpse is you. You didn't die in a mining accident. You were beaten to death."
"What?" The miner was stunned, his eyes wandering over the corpse in horror.
Finally, he saw the familiar patch on the clothes.
That was sewed on by his wife, a unique shape...
"I'm dead... Am I really dead..." The miner was shocked by the truth. His already bloody face was covered with blood, which made him look extremely scary.
Seeing how devastated he was, Lao Li grabbed his hand.
"Don't be afraid. Master Jiang is here. She will definitely find out everything."
The miner burst into tears and cried very sadly: "How can I die? My wife is still waiting for me to come back. Her legs are disabled. If I die, what will happen to her and the baby?"
