Chapter 13 The Missing Corpse
Looking at the blood text on the black book, Liu Haoyu’s spirits lifted.
As expected, when it came to intelligence, the black book was the most reliable.
However, it was a pity that after writing these blood words, there was no more space on the black book to write.
This made Liu Haoyu a little regretful.
He still wanted to ask for more detailed information.
Of course, Liu Haoyu was actually used to it. In fact, the black book had always been so aloof.
He just didn’t know when it started to have a bit of a complaining attribute.
But these were not important.
What was important was the information on the black book.
From this information, this supernatural event was extremely perilous for ordinary people.
Ordinary ghost exorcists could also lose their lives here.
Even Liu Haoyu had to be extremely vigilant.
He frowned, put on his helmet, and returned to Guangping District, Jiangquan City.
Unlike the clear daytime, when the sun set, a misty drizzle suddenly began to fall from the sky.
A motorcycle was driving on the streets of Jiangquan City.
Liu Haoyu glanced at the time.
It was only nine o’clock in the evening, and across from him was Tengda Supermarket.
This supermarket was very large. It was more like a mall than a supermarket.
But it was not yet time for action, so Liu Haoyu found a milk tea shop nearby, ordered a lemon tea, and began the long wait.
As time passed, the rain turned from a misty drizzle into a downpour.
The heavy rain made the pedestrians on the street even scarcer, and the visibility became extremely poor.
Just across the road, Tengda Supermarket’s silhouette was only a hazy outline.
After about an hour, the rain gradually subsided and finally stopped completely.
When the rain stopped, white mist began to fill the street. In the dark night, Tengda Mall had closed for the night, and its silhouette was like a man-eating monster in the darkness.
“Hello sir, we are about to close. Welcome to come again tomorrow.”
Hearing the cashier’s urging, Liu Haoyu glanced at his watch.
It was 11:48 PM.
It seemed it was almost time to move.
Liu Haoyu left the milk tea shop and walked towards the closed Tengda Mall.
He came to the back of the mall and took out a talisman from his pocket.
He wrote Li Yunsong’s name on the talisman.
“Peng…”
Although there was no lighter, the talisman suddenly burst into a large flame, and in a very fast speed, it ignited the entire talisman.
The flame quickly turned from orange-yellow to a faint blue.
The cold rain after the storm, coupled with the sudden cold wind, made Liu Haoyu shiver.
After the talisman burned out, he heard a sound from above his head.
In the hazy white mist, he could clearly see on the top floor of the mall.
A cashier in uniform was standing on the edge of the rooftop in terror.
His face was filled with fear, his body was completely devoured, and his clothes were still hung with some water weeds.
This person should be Li Yunsong.
Like the two foreigners, he seemed to have sunk into the water, flailing helplessly, and then with a desperate scream, he fell from the rooftop of Tengda Mall.
In just a few seconds, he smashed heavily onto the ground, collapsing like a flat cake.
After falling, the surrounding pedestrians did not notice the corpse on the ground.
They continued to walk as if nothing had happened, and many people even walked past Li Yunsong’s body.
Liu Haoyu watched all this silently, and his gaze fell back on Tengda Mall.
But in the next second, he suddenly felt a chilling cold.
Liu Haoyu glanced behind him with his peripheral vision.
Under the violent impact, Li Yunsong’s face was smashed flat, and his eyeballs had completely burst.
Even more bizarrely, it was unclear when it started, but the corpse that was lying on the ground suddenly turned its head towards Liu Haoyu. The corpse’s mouth was slightly upturned, as if with a trace of an inexplicably sinister smile.
Liu Haoyu saw all this with his peripheral vision and then entered the emergency passage of the mall.
The cold wind from the air conditioning inside the mall, coupled with the gust of cold wind, made Liu Haoyu tremble uncontrollably.
After entering the emergency passage, the cold sensation behind Liu Haoyu completely disappeared.
Through the glass wall of the mall, he found that the corpse that was originally lying on the ground had disappeared.
Only a bright pool of blood was left at that place.
The time was now 12:00.
Noon had arrived, and this was the time when fierce ghosts were most active.
All the mall employees had already gone off duty, and the stairwell in the emergency passage was silent. Liu Haoyu was extremely vigilant and carefully climbed up.
“Tap…”
“Tap…”
In the deathly silent emergency passage, only Liu Haoyu’s heavy footsteps could be heard.
But strangely, he found that above his head, there were also footsteps that synchronized with his.
When Liu Haoyu stopped, the footsteps above his head also stopped.
Silence…
Silence like that of a cemetery.
This was definitely not the atmosphere that should exist inside a shopping mall.
Liu Haoyu took another step forward.
“Tap…”
Exactly the same footsteps came from above his head.
Liu Haoyu slowed his breathing and slowly reached for the fire axe at his waist.
After tightening his grip on the fire axe, he continued to move forward.
But this time, he deliberately slowed down his pace.
The footsteps still echoed above his head, but the sound seemed to be getting closer and closer to Liu Haoyu.
Even… the sound seemed to be stepping on Liu Haoyu’s head.
The heavy and suffocating oppressive feeling made the man squint his eyes.
Cold, viscous liquid dripped down from above and landed in front of Liu Haoyu.
Looking closely, it was a drop of blood.
The sound of blood falling to the ground was so jarring in this deathly silent space.
Liu Haoyu suddenly looked up and saw, in the dark and lightless emergency passage, a cold corpse hanging upside down above him.
This corpse was not Li Yunsong, but another person he did not know at all.
The corpse’s hands hung limply, and the fear and despair in its eyes seemed to indicate that it had seen something extremely terrifying before its death.
And its thighs were covered with scratches.
Viscous, dark red blood was slowly flowing out of these scratches.
It seemed to be held by something.
“Clunk!”
The next second, the corpse fell powerlessly from the ceiling and smashed heavily in front of Liu Haoyu.
And the corpse’s eyeballs seemed to be alive, moving slowly as Liu Haoyu moved.
If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely be scared out of their wits by this sight.
Liu Haoyu immediately put on a shocked and terrified expression and gradually retreated.
His gaze from the darkness also fell on Liu Haoyu, as if appreciating the despair in Liu Haoyu’s eyes.
After Liu Haoyu retreated three meters, he suddenly bumped into something.
It felt like a person…
His thin shirt was quickly soaked by an unknown cold liquid. Liu Haoyu turned his head in terror and found that standing behind him was Li Yunsong!
Li Yunsong, who had fallen to his death, was already unrecognizable. His mouth was now wider, and with his entire facial bone structure crushed, this smile was almost a semicircular curve.
Just looking at it was enough to make one’s hair stand on end.
Li Yunsong slowly reached out his hand, but at this moment, the panic on Liu Haoyu’s face quickly receded, replaced by undisguised killing intent.
“Hello~”
In an instant, Liu Haoyu swung the fire axe from his waist and hacked it down at Li Yunsong’s head.
The sharp axe blade, along with the talismanic water on it, just after one exchange, Li Yunsong’s head was split in two by Liu Haoyu.
Moreover, a hissing sound kept coming from the wound.
It was as if it was being fried in oil.
“Ahhhhh!!”
A scream of terror echoed in the emergency passage. Li Yunsong, whose head was split in two, gradually disappeared amidst intense struggling.
In his eyes filled with pain, there was deeply hidden hatred.
Just as Liu Haoyu was about to strike again, he found that the other party had already completely disappeared.
Also disappeared was the corpse that had originally fallen in the emergency passage.
Liu Haoyu put away his fire axe and silently put on his gas mask.
He thought he could kill it with one blow, but he found that the other party’s vitality was as tenacious as a cockroach. If that’s the case…
Then he could only search the entire mall inch by inch.
The man wearing the gas mask, the fire axe in his hand was dripping with bright red liquid.
A large area behind him was stained red with blood.
At this moment, Liu Haoyu had completely merged with the darkness and fear.
In the dark night, the misty white fog, and the killing-imbued fire axe, made this man seem more like a ghost than a ghost.
