Chapter 973 Tracking in the Dark
Half an hour later, the pink Bentley slowly drove into the low-rent housing complex.
The people living here are basically at the bottom of society. There are vendors who set up stalls, and migrant workers who earn money by working hard on construction sites. These are people who live a decent life, but there are more people who make a living by cheating, or some older prostitutes.
It is already past ten o'clock in the evening. At this time, the lights in the entire low-rent housing complex have basically been turned off. It can be said that it is dark.
When the Bentley drove to the community, it immediately woke up a group of dogs. In an instant, the barking of dogs rang out one after another. Some low-rent houses that had originally turned off the lights also turned on the lights one after another. Some people leaned in front of the windows and looked around.
"It seems that the public security here is not good. These people seem very nervous." Wu Sheng said lightly.
The Iron Army scout sitting in the back seat took a look and said, "We used to live in places like this. People who lived in such places were basically migrant workers from other places. Some of them were born in the past and didn't even have a household registration. To put it bluntly, they were illegal residents. No one would know if they were killed. Brother Qianyu, don't underestimate such places. It is possible that behind a window you don't know about, there is a serial killer hiding..."
I couldn't help but look at the Iron Army when I heard that, and then I said to Mr. Wu, "Brother Wu, stop the car, we'll walk over."
The road here is too narrow and the road condition is bad. It's more convenient to walk than drive.
The most important thing is that the address we received was accurate to the house number, but the planning here was too chaotic. The rows of houses were scattered and disorderly, and some of the houses side by side were crooked. The previous house might be No. 80, and the next one might be No. 90. The house number was completely unreliable.
After getting off the car, Mr. Wu lit a cigarette for himself, then took a look at the house number and said, "This is No. 90, and we are looking for No. 131. Let's go forward."
I nodded, and then the three of us walked forward quickly.
The low-rent housing was not only messy, but also very dirty. This dirtiness was not only reflected in the broken houses and dusty windows, but also in the extremely dirty roads, dog shit everywhere, and swill dumped everywhere...
This place was not even as clean as our village.
At this time, Tiejun, who was walking behind me, suddenly stopped and called me and Mr. Wu.
"What's wrong?" I looked at him and asked.
"The atmosphere is a little bit wrong." Tiejun stood where he was, turned his head and looked around stealthily, and seeing the confusion on the faces of Mr. Wu and I, he continued, "Brother Qianyu, Brother Wu, although I, Tiejun, don't have any great skills, I have been in the underworld for more than ten years. You should trust me, my intuition must be right. This place... is too quiet. Also, did you notice that there were a group of local dogs barking just now, but why did these dogs suddenly become silent?"
I was stunned after hearing Tiejun's words. Not only me, but Mr. Wu as well.
Because it was only then that Mr. Wu and I suddenly realized that the barking of dogs that had been going on one after another suddenly disappeared without knowing when. It felt as if something had suddenly covered the mouths of all the dogs here.
"The only people who can silence all the dogs at the same time are very powerful ghosts and some people with particularly strong evil spirits, but... I have never seen such people." Mr. Wu whispered.
"Be careful." I whispered, and then walked forward carefully.
After walking forward for a few minutes.
Suddenly!
A black shadow flashed from the darkness. I was nervous, and after exchanging a glance with Mr. Wu, I quickly chased after it.
The black shadow was extremely fast, like a ghost in the dark, and it completely disappeared in the darkness after a few leaps.
It felt as if the darkness was a big mouth, and the figure had been swallowed by the darkness.
"Be careful, the shadow is nearby, but it is hiding in the darkness. This person must have something that can hide his aura." Wu Sheng said as he squatted down, pinched a seal with his hands, and drew a line over his eyes.
Instantly, I saw a flash of surprise in his eyes, and he stared at the ground.
I knew that Wu Sheng was using the secret tracking method to find the hiding place of the figure through the footprints left by the previous figure on the ground.
The tracking technique, commonly known as opening the third eye, can briefly see some traces left by things around. If the person just now is a cultivator, then wherever he passes by, there will definitely be footprints with qi, and this footprint will become particularly eye-catching in the eyes of people with the third eye.
"Got it, follow me." Wu Sheng whispered, and then the whole person quickly entered the darkness like a strong cheetah.
"If you can't keep up, you can go back to the car and wait for us."
I turned around and said to Tiejun, and then followed Wu Sheng into the darkness.
To my surprise, Iron Army also caught up with us. Moreover, he moved very lightly and on tiptoe. Not only did he not make any sound, but he was also very fast. When he was following us, I could clearly feel a faint ghostly aura surrounding him. His eyes had turned pure black at this moment, without the slightest bit of white. At first glance, it was a bit scary.
"Ghost Dao?" Wu Sheng was stunned, then smiled and said, "No wonder you followed Senior Sister Qian Yu to rob graves. You who practice the Ghost Dao are either digging graves or on the way to dig graves. However, few of you have a good ending. When you get older, you will be plagued by serious diseases. You must be careful."
"Haha." In response, Tiejun just grinned and didn't say much.
I have heard of the Ghost Dao lineage. The disciples of this lineage are very strange. They don't raise ghosts or fight ghosts. Instead, they specialize in devouring old ghosts and feed on ghosts.
The more the old ghosts devoured, the more ghost energy, evil energy, and yin energy accumulated on their bodies. As they got older, they were prone to strange diseases. Moreover, because this lineage feeds on ghosts, it can be said that it is a public enemy in the eyes of all old ghosts. Almost all disciples of the ghost path will be hunted down by some old ghosts who have become powerful.
Let alone other things, if the old ghosts in my body knew that Tiejun was from the ghost path, they would probably rush out and eat him.
At this time, a very rapid sound of footsteps was heard from the darkness, as if someone was running quickly.
The next second, there was a "bang" sound, but there was a muffled groan in the darkness, and then a flash of knife light suddenly broke out in the darkness.
"Someone is fighting!"
