Liwan Cemetery (Part 2)
Shanzha glanced at Shen Mo and the others, and said, "Whether Sister He Guang is in there or not, I will go there. If she is in there, I can also bring her out."
Shen Mengze looked at Shanzha and felt that his expression was very solemn, and even showed a kind of determination that was impossible to appear at his age.
Whether he was guarding the river ghost in Xiaoqinghe Village or facing so many monsters and demons in the dream of death, this child's face had never been so solemn.
"Shanzha, is Liwan really that dangerous?" Chen Mengze asked, "I haven't heard of any incident there in the past two years."
Shanzha said, "Because it was suppressed, there are not many people who understand these things in this era. Therefore, apart from the people on the official side, we in the folks all know each other more or less and have some friendship. But that was also the case with my grandfather. Many predecessors often cannot find people to inherit their mantles, and many skills have no one to pass on."
"People die in Liwan every year, without interruption. Even though no one lives there, many people who pass by or go in to watch the fun have died. It's just that the authorities have suppressed these things." Shanzha's face was tense and he looked a little gloomy.
"Are there people in the government who deal with this kind of thing?" Shen Mengze was a little bit unbelievable, and his expression became complicated.
Mo Liuying glanced at him and accepted the matter well. "It seems that our school must have been blacklisted."
She turned to Hawthorn, "How do you know all this?"
Shanzha said, "My grandfather left me a notebook, which not only recorded the magic and some events when he was catching ghosts in the past, but also several forbidden places that I could not enter before I became an adult, one of which was Liwan Home. A few days ago, someone came to visit my grandfather. He was a big brother in his twenties. He was the apprentice of my grandfather's friend.
"He has been living in City A for so many years because of the several spiritual forbidden places in City A. Among them, Liwan is his focus. He said that the eight coffins in Liwan can no longer hold out. If something happens, the whole City A will suffer."
"It has been said that the number of people who die every year is to fill the eight coffins. In fact, it is the opposite. It is precisely because of the eight coffins that more people have not died. He is an official, and he is also troubled by the Liwan Homestead. He came to my grandfather to ask for his help.
He knew my grandfather had passed away and left very disappointed. "
"After he left, I felt that Liwan would not be able to wait until I came of age. I had to solve the problem there before the eight coffins became completely ineffective."
However, when it comes to solving the problem, Hawthorn is not really sure at all.
The masters of the older generation were all helpless against Li Wan, and he was not arrogant enough to think that he could handle it himself.
Hearing that Liwan was so dangerous, Shen Mengze temporarily put aside what he was thinking about and asked, "What exactly is suppressed in the eight coffins, and why did so many people die?"
Shanzha explained, "That area may date back to a hundred years ago. It is said that the masters at that time set up the Eight Coffin Formation to suppress evil spirits and use evil to control evil."
"There are many different opinions about the origin of the evil spirit. Some say that the area was originally the site of an ancient battlefield, while others say it is an ancient tomb. In any case, it is not suitable for building a house." He sighed as he spoke, "They are all legends. No one can tell the origin of the evil spirit, but judging from the time when the single coffin with eight coffins was buried, it has been more than a hundred years now.
The ghost baby in our village is also an old ghost of more than a hundred years old. His level is no longer an ordinary evil ghost, but equivalent to the level of a ghost king. "
Any ghost of this level can bring devastating disaster to a place. In other words, there are countless ghost king-level ghosts waiting for them in Liwan. This is really a bitter fact.
The atmosphere was tense again, and Chen Mengze thought for a moment and said, "In that case, I'll go with you tomorrow."
Hawthorn looked at him and said, "I can't protect you this time."
Chen Mengze smiled, with a complicated expression, "Then I can't let you go in alone, and He Guang might be in there too. Besides..."
Mo Liuying made a pause gesture, "It's too early for you to make a decision now. Liwan has been holding out for so many years, and these two days won't make a difference. Even if you want to go in, you have to be fully prepared before going in."
Her tone was calm, but it had a strength that could not be refused.
Shanzha looked at her. In fact, he had noticed Mo Liuying when he entered the door. She was a girl who was completely the opposite of He Guang.
She looked cold and fragile, like the last snow of early spring that could be melted by a gust of wind, but Hawthorn felt that she was very dangerous and smelled a bloody scent from her.
It's true that each of these people has more secrets than the other, and the most naive one is actually Youyi.
While Shanzha was distracted, Mo Liuying had already stood up to make a phone call. She didn't talk for long and came back soon, "I have a group of hackers under my command. I asked them to hack into the surveillance cameras at several intersections near Heguang's house."
Chen Mengze smiled helplessly. After the Dream of Death, Mo Liuying began to collect masters from all walks of life, and in front of them, she no longer concealed the edge under her mask.
To be precise, this person has never concealed it. Those who had their legs broken by her in middle school can be formed into a study group. It's just that her appearance is too deceptive.
When the surveillance video was turned over, it had already been screened, and the screen was showing Kazumitsu holding a wallet and walking towards a convenience store.
Shen Mengze glanced at the time and saw that it was three days ago. Shanzha also came over and said, "You found it so quickly?"
According to his expectations, the three of them would have to watch the surveillance camera for an entire night, and there was no guarantee of getting any results.
Mo Liuying said, "I'll send them He Guang's photo and ask them to find it first, otherwise it will take too much time for the three of us to find it."
Shanzha was silent for a while, "With money you can really do whatever you want."
Shen Mengze and Mo Liuying couldn't help but laugh.
Shen Mengze patted his shoulder and said, “Money can’t buy good luck, but you can do whatever you want.”
Hawthorn said, "Stop stirring up hatred, I really can't help but feel jealous."
After saying this and laughing a few times, the atmosphere finally didn't seem as suffocating as if we were drowning in a swamp.
Soon, in the picture, He Guang was walking back carrying a big bag filled with a lot of snacks.
The three of them clearly saw a man following her all the way to the path near her home.
He Guang seemed to have noticed something and stopped near the path. The two of them stood under the surveillance camera, like masters confronting each other in a martial arts drama.
After a pause of about ten seconds, the man took out a knife and stabbed He Guang.
The three of them held their breath involuntarily, and saw He Guang take two steps to dodge and kick the man into the green belt on the side.
If there was a wall opposite, the man would probably vomit blood.
Since the three people all had a deep understanding of He Guang's skills, they were not surprised by this development. The only thing they didn't know was how the technicians in charge of monitoring would react when they saw it.
The scene continued, the man got up from the ground, turned around and ran, and this time the person he was chasing was Kazumitsu.
She weighed the bag in her hand, as if she was hesitating whether to throw it away and chase after the man, but she obviously couldn't bear to do so, so she just ran after him with the bag in her hand.
The footage ends here, and it’s probably time to switch to surveillance footage at another intersection.
Chen Mengze said, "Why is she so reckless!"
Mo Liuying said, "Don't you know how courageous she is?"
Shanzha sighed. At this moment, the three of them felt the same helplessness.
Mo Liuying paused for a few seconds, then froze and enlarged the image of the man. After looking at it for a long time, she said, "I remember this man. He is a wanted murderer in City B who has killed several people."
Chen Mengze was speechless. What kind of luck is this for He Guang? Last time, he encountered a robber while riding in a car at his doorstep, and this time he encountered a murderer while shopping at his doorstep.
Soon another surveillance video came over. This time it was very short, recording He Guang chasing the murderer towards a road. After passing that intersection, it was near Liwan. That area was very deserted and there was no surveillance.
However, He Guang's whereabouts can be roughly determined. If something really happened, there would be some movement, unless the other party was trapped there.
"It seems that the trip to Liwan is inevitable." Shen Mengze smiled, and he felt calm after confirming it.
Shanzha couldn't help but frown. He knew He Guang's abilities better than anyone else. Even if the other party was not proficient in magic, he certainly had the ability to protect himself. Why was he trapped in Liwan?
He had never been to Liwan Home, and his grandfather had written in his notes that it was very dangerous, but just how dangerous it was, he really wanted to experience it for himself this time.
"I'd better go alone. Even if I can't do anything, I can escape safely." said Hawthorn.
Chen Mengze said, "I think there are not only ghosts in it, but also living people. As a famous haunted place in City A, many people go there to explore every year. If you encounter ghosts, you protect me, and if you encounter living people, I protect you."
He added, "No matter what, I can't let you go in alone."
After hearing what he said, Shanzha couldn't persuade him any more and stopped talking.
Chen Mengze looked at Mo Liuying and said, "Don't tell You Yi about this for now. If we can't get out, I'll have to trouble you with the rest."
He was referring to the words and reassurances he gave to his family, “But you must not go in there.”
Mo Liuying is most annoyed by his style of explaining his last wishes. "I know what to do. You should be more optimistic like He Guangxue when facing things."
Chen Mengze thought, I also have to have that optimistic capital. However, he felt that this trip would be very dangerous, but they should all be able to come out safely.
Mo Liuying also knew that most people couldn't learn He Guang's invincible optimism, so she didn't make things difficult for him. "Just remember to go in alive and come out alive."
In fact, she was not at ease letting Shen Mengze go in. This man's luck was not much better than He Guang's. He was in the hospital in July and his hand was injured again in August.
Her injuries haven't healed yet, and she has to go through the gates of hell again. However, You Yi is a weakling, and she herself gets out of breath after running a few more steps. The most suitable candidate is still Chen Mengze.
If someone was sent to follow them, Shen Mengze would not agree.
If possible, she didn't want to be stained with the blood of innocent people in any way.
But if they couldn't get out, she would have to spend a lot of money to invite some people to come into Liwan to help.
It is said that there will always be brave men under a big reward. We will always be able to recruit a few people who are willing to go or have real skills, right?
Mo Liuying lowered her eyes, hiding the cold light in them.
