Chapter 16 Chapter 16 The cause of this incident is not...
The cause of this incident is not far away. It can be traced back to this morning, or even earlier, when it was just dawn.
The sky was also gray at that time, but beneath the gray was a deep black, and in the darkness was a hint of blue like the dawn.
The moonlight is hazy, the moon is unclear, and the clouds are messy and sparse, like a hairless head with a comb with broken teeth, and the combed hair sways gently in the wind.
The green leaves on the ground rustled, and the leaves were dark, first covered with a layer of vague mist, and then with a layer of wet dew like the morning light, hanging down, as if the upper body of a person was leaning backwards and about to fall off a cliff.
The soil was very moist, and those who had gotten up early were walking as usual, keeping quiet for those who were sleeping, and rushing towards dawn for their own work.
There were messy footprints left on the ground.
There was a rumbling sound in the sky, like thunder, but when people walking on the road looked up, they found that it was not thunder, but a group of demons.
The demons spread their wings and flew in the air, looking down at them from above. Suddenly, they swooped down like an eagle that had found its target. Everyone was startled and subconsciously felt terrified.
The demons landed on the ground and said to them, "We are here on the orders of the Demon King to search for ghosts and retrieve the king's lost items. Please don't stop us. Thank you for your cooperation."
There was no expression on their faces, their speech was slow but hurried, their tone was frivolous and elegant, their posture was like that of gentlemen rather than soldiers, but the fact that they were standing there in a group, a black mass, was enough to prove that they were not as friendly as their language.
The next moment, a sharp whistle was heard from the ground, like the whistling of a train, resounding through the sky and deafening. It did not come from a train, but from an alarm that had been working all night not far away from them.
The alarm works non-stop, so no matter when this group of demons appears here, the alarm will sound. After all, they are too powerful, not only for humans but also for the alarm.
There is no reason for the alarm not to sound unless it is broken.
What's more, there are people on duty in the detention center who are guarding the alarm. Even if the alarm does not sound, as long as there is a little response, the people in the detention center will deal with it in time.
However, such a loud noise still caught them off guard and surprised them. They only faced the alarm but not the demon that caused it. Therefore, they did not realize that this was something to be feared.
They walked out of the detention center and looked outside, wanting to confirm the specific situation, but suddenly saw a large group of demons, and were immediately shocked.
When one of the demons in the group discovered them and looked over, they felt their hearts almost burst, their throats seemed to be bleeding, and their eyes were about to pop out.
It was all so unusual and terrifying.
The sky was still gray at that time, but a little brighter than before, just a little.
The lights were always on. People looked at the demon that looked very unreal in the light and skylight, and sincerely hoped that all this was not true. However, the demon before their eyes did not disappear, which was enough to prove to them that they were indeed facing a disaster.
"Excuse me," the warden of the detention center came out and said to the demons as politely as possible but with suppressed anger, "You can't come here without a pass. Excuse me, do you have that thing with you? If so, please let me check it. If not, please leave."
The demons looked at each other, and one of them stepped forward and said, "I'm so sorry, we came here in a hurry, so we didn't prepare anything.
However, if you need us, we can make up for it now, but we will not leave here until we have searched thoroughly and confirmed that there is no ghost hiding in every inch of land here, otherwise, you will also go to our prison."
As he spoke, he rummaged through his pocket and pulled out an old, yellowed pass. It must have been from a long time ago and he had hardly touched it.
So from the surface, this thing looks very complete and clean, as if it had been buried in the ground for many years and no one had looked at it, and was suddenly dug out today.
"I have a pass here from a long time ago. Although it has expired, it is indeed a pass." The devil smiled and handed the pass to the director. "You can take it and mortgage it first. Once we get a new pass, we can exchange it for it."
The director did not reach out to take the thing, but just looked at the devil with disapproval in his eyes.
The demon smiled, put the item back in his pocket, and said, "Actually, a pass isn't really necessary. We'll be back after we're done searching. We won't stay long. As long as you don't do anything, we won't cause you any harm. But if you insist on stopping us, you can't blame us for suspecting you're hiding something or a ghost."
"Please leave now." The director stared at the demon, very alert and serious, with no expression on his face, gritting his teeth, speaking slowly and heavily as if a huge rock fell from the sky.
It can be seen that people's emotions and attitudes are consistent, and there is no room for discussion.
In this case, the devil looked at the people in front of him who were indignant as if they had done something, and felt deeply the unfairness of fate and the weight of the prejudice of the people, and there was nothing more to say.
The demons began to search, and people tried to stop them like crazy, as if they were not there to look for something but to dig up their ancestors' graves.
Being attacked all the time is also a very annoying thing. Demons have bad tempers to begin with, and when they are chased and attacked by people, they get angry and don’t care about many things. They will attack back anyone who tries to stop them.
As for those who died, it was just bad luck. After all, how could one be allowed to attack while others were not allowed to resist?
The demons hadn't even come near any of the houses and were still in the open space.
At this moment, a crack suddenly appeared in the complete and peaceful space. The pitch-black crack was like a big mouth, swallowing most of the people in. With a whoosh, the wind blew in, leaving nothing behind. The scene suddenly became very quiet and no one spoke.
Both the people and the demons were silent for a moment, and then people thought that those who were swallowed by the cracks were attacked by demons and became very angry.
The demons thought that the crack swallowing people was enough to prove that Hell believed that it was humans, not demons, who were at fault, so they provided help and were greatly encouraged.
The battle became more intense.
But then, the demons felt an extremely terrifying and familiar breath coming from the gap. For a moment, they were almost shocked by the powerful breath and pressed to the ground.
All the demons were stunned.
People attacked them like crazy and wanted to bite them as if they had really done something unforgivable.
But they only used their body's instinct to defend themselves, neither fighting back nor moving, as if they had suddenly lost their minds, and even had a strange smile on their faces, standing there motionless.
The corners of his lips curled up slightly, his eyes gradually narrowed, and barely noticeable bags appeared under his eyes. A blush of excitement appeared on his pale face, an excitement of about to meet the person who was looking up to him.
People were shocked by this and feared that they were carrying some strange infectious disease. They stepped back to avoid being infected, and looked at them warily. They were also worried that they were performing some unknown formation. They didn't know whether they should go forward to stop them from doing what they wanted to do. They looked at each other in silence for a while, but the expressions on their faces kept changing like a magic trick on the stage, and it was difficult to remain calm.
The demons looked at the increasingly larger pitch-black space crack, squinted their eyes, and like a cat that saw a fish, their tails couldn't help but wag. They were also a bit like a dog that found its owner, with the blushes on their faces getting bigger and bigger, and the excitement in their eyes getting brighter and brighter. They looked at each other to confirm the situation.
The demons reached a consensus and decided to abandon these hateful humans who were as annoying as flies and go into the space crack to see what was over there.
Maybe the ghosts and things they are looking for are in there. They can just check inside and come back. They have their reasons because they suspect that the humans who fell into the space cracks are hiding the ghosts and things they are looking for.
Otherwise, how could those people disappear so suddenly? Otherwise, why were these people frantically trying to stop them? This wasn't just a case of trying to cover up one's own faults, what else could this be? If there was nothing, what on earth were these people so anxious about? These ridiculous, mosquito-like trash dared to obstruct and attack them. How could they let nearly half of their enemies go? This could be a disaster!
It doesn’t matter if there are no ghosts, it doesn’t matter if there is nothing they are looking for, it doesn’t matter if we can’t find the humans who went in. As long as we can find the owner of the breath that overflowed from the gap at that moment, perhaps everything will be solved.
They have nothing to worry about!
The demons moved in the same direction, staring at the crack that was getting bigger and longer, and approached it with smiles on their faces. Their actions were so unified and the atmosphere was so weird that it was like a collective suicide, like land creatures lining up to jump into the sea. It made people want to stay away involuntarily.
The people around couldn't even muster up any anger, and could only watch the demons approach the gap. They couldn't move forward, as they would look sick, nor could they move backward, as they seemed scared. They looked at each other, then stood where they were, ready to watch the demons disappear into the gap.
After all, the reason they launched the attack was to hope that the demons would leave. The demons wanted to leave through the gap on their own initiative, so what could they do to stop them?
