Chapter 61: The Factory at Night
As the man and the dog let out screams, the murderer outside the door swung his fire axe again.
This directly smashed a crack in the door panel, and this crack was less than ten centimeters away from the security guard’s face.
When the axe was withdrawn again, from his position, he could see the murderer’s black mask and the chilling blood-stained fire axe in his hand through the gap.
Seeing the murderer outside raise his weapon again, preparing to smash the entire door open, the security guard could no longer bear it and shouted.
“Wait! Wait, wait! Don’t smash it, I’m coming out!”
After hearing the reply from inside, Liu Haoyu lowered the fire axe, and the security guard slowly crawled out of the doghouse.
Looking at the trembling security guard holding the dog, Liu Haoyu scratched his head.
This person’s complexion was still dark purple, indicating that the danger had not yet passed.
The fierce ghost was still in this factory, ready to strike at anyone at any time. Its target was likely not just this security guard, but… everyone in the factory.
Seeing the murderer staring at him silently, the security guard shivered. He raised his hand and said with great difficulty.
“Big brother… oh no, sir, I have old parents and young children at home, and a blind wife who depends on me…”
“Stop, stop, stop!”
Liu Haoyu interrupted him, his expression a little depressed.
“The situation is urgent, so I’ll be direct. A fierce ghost has entered your factory, and everyone, including you, has been targeted. Now I need your cooperation to go into this factory and find that fierce ghost.”
“No problem, no problem, sir, you’re right.”
The security guard dared not refute anything now, knowing that behind the murderer, there was a strange red shadow floating.
Looking at the silent red shadow, the security guard weakly raised his hand and asked.
“May I ask presumptuously?”
“You say.”
“Is the red shadow behind you a victim who died at your hands?”
“…”
Liu Haoyu silently picked up his axe, taken aback by the security guard’s peculiar train of thought.
Seeing Liu Haoyu’s murderous intent, the security guard quickly changed his tune and said.
“Okay, okay, I’ll be quiet, I’ll be quiet…”
Although the security guard knew he couldn’t escape, there was a saying that people deserved to die with understanding.
He couldn’t just die confused, could he?
Liu Haoyu looked at the terrified security guard and the large dog in his arms.
“Stay by my side and take me into the factory. I will protect you.”
In the current situation, if he left the security guard outside, he would surely die. Even if he wanted him to call the police…
Looking at the zero signal on his mobile phone, it would be a miracle if he could call the police.
Now, these fierce ghosts, every single one of them, wouldn’t call themselves a fierce ghost without a communication jamming skill.
Liu Haoyu sighed helplessly at this thought.
The security guard followed behind Liu Haoyu, muttering quietly.
“Am I being taken as a hostage?”
Liu Haoyu clearly heard his muttering, but he ignored it.
The peculiar combination of two people, one dog, and one ghost, with the security guard leading the way, entered the factory through a gap blocked by an iron plate.
After everyone went inside, Liu Haoyu felt the dense miasma and frowned.
Shirley Lai had clearly entered the factory, but no one knew where she was hiding.
With the local guide, the group skillfully entered the back part of the factory.
Liu Haoyu looked around and casually asked the security guard.
“What’s your name?”
“Me?” The security guard holding the dog pointed to himself, seeming a little confused.
“Let me state beforehand, I don’t have much money at home, so I can’t pay ransom.”
“…”
How difficult it was to establish trust between people.
Liu Haoyu was a bit depressed. He had almost written “good person” on his face, yet no one believed him.
Seeing that Liu Haoyu had suddenly fallen silent and looking at the shining axe in his hand, the security guard honestly replied.
“My name is Wang Pansan.”
With this interruption, Liu Haoyu couldn’t be bothered to care what his name was anymore.
The back part of the factory did not operate at night, so it was pitch black.
He could vaguely hear the sound of machines operating, but he didn’t know where they were located.
Because of the lingering miasma left by Shirley Lai, the guiding ghost fire had completely dissipated upon entering the factory.
To find the trace of a ghost in such a large factory was not to say it was like finding a needle in a haystack, but it was quite difficult.
Fierce ghosts usually liked to hide in sparsely populated but not completely uninhabited places.
With nearly a hundred people working the night shift in this factory, it was unlikely that the ghost would directly charge into the crowd and kill indiscriminately.
Therefore, Liu Haoyu asked Wang Pansan.
“Where is the operating workshop?”
“In the building opposite, what’s wrong?”
Upon hearing this, Liu Haoyu stood by the window and looked at the opposite side.
Indeed, in the entire factory, only that building was still lit.
It was highly possible that Shirley Lai had gone to that building, but precisely because there were people there, it would not be easy for Liu Haoyu to enter.
At this moment, he saw a roller shutter door at the back of the first floor of that building.
It was currently closed, and there was no one guarding it. Liu Haoyu then asked the security guard.
“What is that door for? Can I go in?”
“That…” Wang Pansan answered without thinking, “That’s the loading and unloading area. No one patrols around there at night.”
Liu Haoyu climbed over the window and said to the security guard standing behind him.
“Alright, let’s go together.”
“This…”
Looking at the strange and terrifying red shadow behind Liu Haoyu, Wang Pansan secretly swallowed twice, and seemed to feel some danger in his heart.
This murderer in front of him had been muttering about ghosts all along, and coupled with the red shadow behind him, it was very likely that he was indeed someone who caught ghosts.
Was it appropriate for an ordinary person like himself to get involved in ghost-catching?
Wang Pansan took a step back and said.
“Isn’t this a coincidence? I happen to have a key. Taoist priest… oh no, Celestial Master, why don’t you go by yourself? I won’t tag along…”
Hearing this, Liu Haoyu looked at Wang Pansan’s darkening complexion and calmly raised his fire axe.
“It’s okay, wouldn’t it be more dangerous to leave you alone in this place? What if a ghost finds you?”
The problem is, you’re scarier than a ghost!
Wang Pansan couldn’t help but roar inwardly.
