Chapter 34
Now it's not just me, they all see it too.
He Man, in particular, had never seen such a horrifying scene before and immediately screamed.
Zhang Song took a step forward, ready to subdue Wu Lianyong, but he was repelled by Wu Lianyong. This was absolutely impossible, yet he appeared before me.
"Unorthodox practices!" Erma took out a talisman from her cloth bag and stuck it on Zhang Song's back.
At this time, Zhang Song seemed to be assisted by God. After a fight, Wu Lianyong was obviously defeated.
He pulled a bone flute from his pocket, placed it to his lips, and began to play. A strange sound echoed across the empty construction site, and I seemed to see a group of miserable ghosts rushing toward me, demanding my life. I desperately tried to escape, but a river of blood suddenly appeared before me, sweeping me under like a flash flood. I struggled, finally clinging to a floating object, hoping to catch my breath, only to discover it was a corpse. Terrified, I quickly let go, choking on a cloud of water—no, blood.
"Wake up!" Erma's voice was like thunder, waking me from the illusion.
I didn't expect that I would fall into the trap after just one encounter.
Then Erma threw three talismans at Wu Lianyong. They flew in a line, aiming for him. Wu Lianyong dodged, but the three talismans pursued him, landing on him. His body immediately began to emit black smoke and a foul odor.
This is a battle between the two of them, and we outsiders can't help much. But judging by the current situation, Wu Lianyong is no match for Erma. Then Erma made a finger gesture, and a wind suddenly blew up on the construction site, causing the strange-shaped stones on the foundation to explode one after another.
Wu Lianyong's breath was getting weaker and weaker. This was a backlash, and Wu Lianyong would not live long. He collapsed to the ground, his eyes revealing fear.
Erma took back the Taoist magic, and Wu Lianyong was half dead.
Zhang Song stepped forward and kicked him, saying, "I have to take him back to the mainland."
"With his ability, I'm afraid he can't make such a plan." Erma said.
I was also surprised that Wu Lianyong was defeated by Erma in almost the first encounter. It was too easy.
Zhang Song asked sternly, "Who's behind you?"
"Hahaha, someone will avenge me." Wu Lianyong was in a crazy state, spitting black blood from his mouth.
Erma then pulled a jade bottle from her cloth bag—the very one that held Zhang Yan's ghost. She opened the bottle, and Zhang Yan's shadowy figure emerged. She looked around blankly, then saw Wu Lianyong, limp on the ground. Her expression was calm, but she suddenly transformed into a fierce ghost and pounced on Wu Lianyong.
Wu Lianyong was obviously stunned when he saw Zhang Yan, but before he could react, he was bitten by Zhang Yan and screamed in pain.
"I was wrong, let me go." Wu Lianyong shouted.
Zhang Yan's hair pierced Wu Lianyong's body like steel needles. Soon, tiny streams of blood flowed from Wu Lianyong's body, and his screams became weaker and weaker.
As the saying goes, evil will be punished, Wu Lianyong was tortured to death by Zhang Yan.
Even after his death, Wu Lianyong still couldn't escape Zhang Yan's revenge. She pulled Wu Lianyong's ghost, whose eyes were dull, and said with a fierce smile: "When you married me, you said that we would be together forever."
Then the ghosts of Zhang Yan and Wu Lianyong were seen disappearing into the night.
We watched this scene for a long time without saying a word.
"What now?" I asked.
Wu Lianyong was already dead, so there was no way to bring him back to the mainland. Zhang Song took out his phone and told his superiors a few things, then gave us an OK sign. Then, in full view of everyone, he shot Wu Lianyong in the head.
The rest was up to He Man. She called the police immediately. When they arrived, they were shocked to see three bodies before us. Fortunately, He Man and Zhang Song were there, so we simply went to the police station to explain what had happened. As for Wu Lianyong's death, Zhang Song claimed he had shot him directly during the chase.
Now I understand why Zhang Song fired another shot. This is the reason. Although Wu Lianyong's autopsy report certainly differs from what we said, with He Man's confession and Zhang Song's records on the mainland, they can't investigate further.
When we finished recording our statements and were about to leave the police station, we saw two pairs of parents crying in the lobby. At this time, I saw the ghosts of the two children pulling their parents, but their parents could not hear them at all.
These two children were the boy and girl who were brutally killed by Wu Lianyong today to be used as driving piles.
Erma obviously sensed the presence of both of their ghosts and sighed helplessly.
Pity the hearts of all parents. Now separated from their children, their pain is unbearable. Seeing their heartbroken expressions, my heart ached for no apparent reason. I hated seeing such scenes, and I wanted nothing more than to help them. At that moment, a faint thread emanated from my body and reached the two children. They suddenly appeared before me, saying, "Sister, why are Mom and Dad ignoring me?"
I touched their heads and said, "If you have anything you want to say to Mom and Dad, tell your sister."
"We're already dead, aren't we?" the little boy said.
I didn't know how to answer his question. At his age, it was the time when buds were about to bloom, but they withered away early.
When they saw that I didn't answer, they both lowered their heads sadly.
After a moment of silence, the little boy said, "Sister, please tell my parents not to be sad. I'm not hurt."
After hearing what he said, tears immediately came to my eyes.
Then the little boy said sensibly: "Ying'er, do you have anything to say?"
"I want my parents to buy me a Hello Kitty." The little girl lowered her head, put her hands down, and pinched her fingers and said.
"Then I want a Spider-Man." The little boy seemed to be making a wish for his birthday present.
I looked at the two of them and felt extremely sad.
Then the black threads emanating from my body became more pronounced, eventually transforming into tiny dots that landed on the two of them. As they came into contact with those dots, they suddenly became happy, and the two of them disappeared into thin air, laughing.
I have no idea why this change happened to me.
In the eyes of others, I might be talking to myself like a madman, including He Man, who had no idea what I was doing.
Only Erma and Zhang Song looked calm.
I wiped my tears and borrowed a pen and paper from the police. I wrote down the last words of the little boy and girl on pieces of paper and gave them to their parents.
Their parents were surprised when they saw the note I handed them. The police told them that the body was the child we had found, and they put the note in their pockets.
After leaving the police station, we all felt heavy-hearted, but the matter was not over yet. You have to know that Wu Lianyong has not only supervised the construction of this one real estate project in Hong Kong in the past few years.
