26 Chapter 26 (Part 2)
◎Do you have any flyers left? Please give me some more!◎
She wasn't fooled by the flyer and just followed it?
Du Teng looked cautiously at the driver who suddenly appeared.
There was indeed a strange aura just now, but the presence of the ghost cave was too strong. He couldn't be sure whether a new sacrifice was completed in the ghost cave, whether the investigator used a strange object outside the mall, or whether there was something wrong with the ordinary-looking woman in front of him.
Could it be... the Jiang City Investigation Bureau's trump card, a hidden expert? Then we must use shadow puppets to keep her out!
Surrounded by a circle, Yao Qing and his partner gave warnings while driving after them. The van at the mall entrance, however, seemed to have heard nothing and continued driving forward.
No, maybe I really didn’t hear it.
It looked like the den was right there, but with the strange aura interfering, just getting from the intersection to the mall entrance took several times longer than usual. The signal was chaotic, and the sound was inevitably affected.
The van, hurtling towards the mall, slowed down but continued to move forward. Yao Qing's heart sank. "It's over. That driver is just as possessed as the previous explorers."
Then I saw that the driver even reached out to pull the greeter at the door???
Doesn’t she think there’s something wrong with the shadow puppet that has a big head and a thin body after being stretched out?!
"Hey! Driver, stop! Don't take it!" Yao Qing saw the driver in front of her was still laughing, and knew she hadn't heard him at all. She could only speed up, "Hurry up, drive over and block her!"
Since he got a flyer and was not led away, it shows that he has strong willpower and was not completely confused. He still had time to save people!
Ye Pingan spotted someone approaching from afar and quickly called back to the receptionist, "Do you have any more flyers? Bring a few more! If you hand them out sooner, you can get off work earlier too. It's mutually beneficial for us!"
Each flyer is a chance to win a prize. Opportunities to get a 90% discount are limited, so first come, first served!
Seeing the investigator coming, Du Teng became a little anxious.
The woman's left eye showed greed, and her right eye showed money. Her complexion was rosy and her smile was bright, just like the sacrifice that had been lured into the mall before.
She is not exactly the same as the zombie ghost master who controls strange things, but she is not even close to them.
The investigator was so anxious to rescue the person, which meant that this person was indeed an ordinary person.
He might have a bit of willpower, but not by much, and he's also a bit mentally challenged. He's clearly been tricked, not even noticing his deformed body, only asking him for more flyers.
Just increase the intensity of the lure and you'll succeed! He's determined to swallow this sacrifice!
The cost of using low-level weird things is nothing compared to being able to utilize the power of B-level weird gods earlier.
In the den of ghosts, Du Teng cut a piece of flesh from the bloody leg, skin included, and tossed it into the reflection. Several balloon-like heads floated nearby, eyes closed, spinning in place. After the blood and flesh disappeared, they gradually dispersed.
The flyers that can be seen everywhere in the mall appeared in the shadow puppet's hand again, "Welcome——"
Before he could finish his words, Ye Pingan snatched up the flyers and said, "Why are there only these few? Is this all you have? Or do you not want to give them to me? It's the same if I ask another receptionist for them."
"Yes!" Du Teng said with a gloomy face.
The Bureau's blockade tightened, and he might just have to find a new victim. He'd already taken two hits for this victim, so two more wouldn't be a big deal.
You want flyers, right? I'm afraid you can't afford them!
One, two, three, the blood-stained leaflets flew out of the shadow puppet's hands like snowflakes in an instant.
"So many?" Ye Pingan opened the car door in surprise. "You're so polite! You're doing a great job!"
She was being too polite, but she continued to throw flyers into the carriage.
In the ghost den, half of Du Teng's body was covered in blood, and his skin was completely fed to the shadow puppet. The vague reflection under his feet almost solidified into substance, staring at him with a weird smile.
A small pool of blood formed on the ground, and balloons of human heads with closed eyes were circling in the sky, their number increasing.
Du Teng's brain was having trouble functioning.
The offering...why...hasn't it arrived yet? Has the creature's lure failed?
"Welcome...come." A dull voice sounded, and the shadow puppet had empty hands and was unable to produce an extra flyer.
"Here I am, I'm just coming in to take a look. Really there's nothing left?" Ye Ping'an pressed on, "There are coupons for the grand opening, but do you have parking coupons? Where do you park?"
Yao Qing watched from afar as the shadow puppet was about to climb onto the car, and his face turned pale with fright.
"Why wouldn't this driver listen? He's just trying to take advantage of the mall? He wants money over his life! Couldn't he just wait for us to come over?!"
Shadow puppet Du Teng stared at Ye Pingan blankly, "Welcome!"
He grabbed the car door with one hand and pushed it towards the mall, while stretching out the other hand to grab the driver in the car.
A pull.
It didn't move.
The ordinary young woman's hand gripped it like a vise.
Ye Pingan grabbed the hooded man's waving hand and pulled it upwards, somewhat speechlessly, "Why are you rushing me? You'll be fined if you park your car in an illegal manner! If you're in a hurry, come up and show me the way."
Chi Chi——
A stream of black slime gushed out from under Du Teng's feet, both inside and outside the Ghost Cave. A skinless corpse collapsed heavily in front of the Ghost Cave's shopping mall entrance. The circling heads opened their eyes, and the corpse's head gradually floated up, drifting into the midst of them.
The shadow puppet, still in the image of Du Teng, was picked up from the spot. With the sound of air leaking, it was like a punctured balloon. The empty skin trembled and soared high, almost flying into the sky.
But a hand was holding it tightly, and the shaking human skin was completely unable to break free. It could only stick to the car door with difficulty, thus avoiding being dragged into the car directly.
The shadow puppet's eyes widened, and his exaggerated smile suddenly turned into horror, "Are you kidding me?!"
The Investigation Bureau is so ruthless! Hiding experts is fine, but are they really just pretending to bully others?!
He deflated and shrank rapidly, leaving only a soft, slippery, limp skin, painted with oil paint, drooping in Ye Ping'an's hand. His eyeballs seemed to have been dug out and stuck in his skin sockets, still trembling slightly, filled with grief and indignation.
"What are you kidding me? Are you trying to scam me?"
Ye Ping'an curled his lips. "The quality of this muscle suit is too poor. It breaks when you pull it. Is it a fake product? What if it scares people? The person who encountered it is a good citizen like me. I am a generous person. I won't ask you for compensation this morning."
The screaming greeter had disappeared, leaving only the red archway standing in front.
"It's just a parking ticket. Why are you so angry? What's your mentality? The mall is not owned by your family. He doesn't want this thing anymore. He can throw it in the trash can when he sees it."
Ye Ping'an shook his hands in disgust, and glanced at someone driving towards the intersection, leaning over and shouting "Stop".
Hiss, did you see the flyer she took away?
Now that he has the chance to get a 10% discount, Ye Ping'an will not give it up.
Ye Ping'an turned the steering wheel and drove forward. "Let me see where the parking lot is... There seems to be a square behind the arch? Isn't this a pedestrian street, and the parking lot is inside the square?"
The receptionist was quite generous except for giving her flyers, but was totally unreliable in other aspects. He was just eager to pull her into the mall and even pointed to Gate 1 when asking about the parking lot. It was completely irrelevant.
How could she, such a well-mannered person, drive into a shopping mall? In broad daylight, in public, if she made a wrong turn and smashed the glass, wouldn't she be dead for it?
The car continued to drive towards the arch, and the van's wheels spun wildly.
The car door with the leather bag hanging on it was still open, and every turn was like a sudden brake and a tailspin, almost throwing the person out.
"Why is it slipping again?" Ye Ping'an leaned in the driver's seat without moving, holding the steering wheel firmly.
The van's wheels were spinning so fast they were practically smoking, and it couldn't even struggle to move back a single step. The entire vehicle shuddered strangely as it drove straight into the archway.
The shadow puppet Du Teng's scream spread, and it could be seen flying around the car door from a long distance away.
"Has the shadow puppetry been solved?!" Yao Qing just got excited and was about to urge speed, but was stopped by his partner with a serious expression.
"Oh no, the shadow puppet's allure is growing stronger. It can even create the illusion that it's been captured by ordinary people!"
"Calm down, slow down, and don't let greed tempt you into rushing through. That looks like a door, but it's actually a dead end. The driver is probably dead."
The two slowed down, alertly reported any unusual changes, and approached the mall little by little.
Watching the rear end of the van disappear through the archway, Yao Qing and his partner twisted and pinched each other's soft parts on the waist.
They looked at each other and said, "I saw the car driving into a den of ghosts."
"Me too."
"...It's not an illusion?!" x2
Old Li was still outside the mall, struggling to find the weak point of the evil den. When he received the latest news, he thought he had heard it wrong.
"The shadow puppet screamed and disappeared, but failed to stop the citizens from straying into the abyss of evil?!"
It's a pity that the person was not saved, but the [Waving Shadow Puppet] that was blocking the road may have retreated, so it is more important now.
"Let's go and try to enter the ghost cave again."
-
After passing the archway, the bright sky suddenly darkened.
Creak——
The van that had been shaking stopped shaking. The wheels obeyed the steering wheel and it braked suddenly on the street, without following the same path as the previous car accident scene.
A black car ahead crashed into a shop on the ground floor, shattering the glass door and toppling the shelves over.
"I said the ground at the door was slippery. Although I'm a good driver and avoided it, the mall also has to take responsibility!" Ye Ping'an clicked his tongue and shook his head.
The filament nets hanging above the street reflected a faint light, and the dark clouds above appeared even darker.
The moment the car drove in, all the slowly moving figures froze.
A pale figure stood between the headless torsos, his empty eyes fixed on the van, his head gradually becoming tilted.
Ye Pingan became interested. "I came at the right time. Everyone is preparing to perform."
