The Terror of the Heavens Begins with Gu

Chapter 16 The Murder List
Inside the room, Fatty Huang was watching a busty anchor live broadcasting a popular game, sometimes dancing and sometimes shouting.

After sending Li Zhen his cousin's date of birth, he put the matter aside.

He would naturally be happy if he could make that guy unlucky.

If it doesn't work, that's okay.

Anyway, he cursed that guy to have a short life every day.

Adding another curse would be even better.

Two curses are better than one.

It was noon at some point, and Fatty Huang suddenly heard his phone vibrating.

After clicking the connection button, Fatty Huang said "Hello" impatiently, and the other party started to talk a lot.

Fatty Huang's face was filled with shock when he heard this, and then he was surprised after being hit by such great luck.

"What?! That dog... was in so much pain that he was sent to the hospital? Was he notified of the banquet? Ah, he's not dead yet? Oh my god, didn't he say he was dying of pain? I thought he was really dead... Okay, okay, I'm a magnanimous person. I'll go and take a look."

After hanging up the phone, the excited Fatty Huang calmed down. The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was not right.

Li Zhen had just asked that guy about his date of birth this morning, and something happened to him right now?
Is this too much of a coincidence?
Fatty Huang, gloating over the misfortune, was ready to go to the hospital immediately to check the situation. He grabbed his clothes and went out.

While running towards the underground garage, he called Li Zhen.

Li Zhen didn't answer the phone, but just sent an automatic reply text message, telling Fatty Huang that he was busy and would reply to him after he was done, so there was no need to look for him.

Without thinking too much, the fat man sent a text message to Li Zhen, briefly explaining the situation on his side.

Ever since he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, Li Zhen's mood has been very unstable and disappearing for a period of time has become the norm, so Fatty Huang was not worried.

After getting in the car, Fatty Huang couldn't wait and drove straight to the hospital.

……

At the desk, Li Zhen was reading another booklet.

This booklet does not talk about black magic, but some miscellaneous techniques, including what kind of evil magic the sorcerer can use to replenish his own vitality if he is retaliated against, as well as techniques such as how to improve himself.

Most of these spells are cruel and bloody. The materials involved are either internal organs, brains, placentas and other bloody things, which are horrifying.

What Li Zhen is watching now is a strange technique called "Ghost Devouring", which is a rare and less bloody strange technique.

Feeling that time was running out, Li Zhen took out his cell phone and took a look.

When I opened the text message, I saw the message from Fatty Huang.

Looks like the lemon juice is working well...

Li Zhen smiled slightly.

He felt it when the lemon drop took effect.

Although the lemon curse cannot kill people directly, it is a top-level method of torture. Moreover, even if the lemon curse is broken, if someone takes out the half lemon that was cast, it will not have any backlash on him.

With the protection of black magic, Li Zhen felt more confident about the next mission.

No matter how terrifying the world he went to, he had some means of fighting back.

I don't know how much I can bring...

Li Zhen stood up and stuffed the red-eyed bat hanging on his pants into his pocket, then picked up a huge handbag beside him and casually stuffed his cell phone into it.

In order to experiment with what he could bring to another world, there were many other things in this handbag.

Time passed slowly, and everything in front of me melted quickly like wax, turning into pure colors, constantly twisting and entangled.

When the colors reconstructed a new world, everything Li Zhen saw had changed drastically.

This is a narrow street located between several buildings.

It's evening.

Li Zhen was standing alone on the slightly eerie street, wearing a set of casual clothes. The handbag he was holding was gone, and the wet palm leaf whip fell to the ground.

"Squeak..."

The red-eyed bat let out a strange cry and crawled out of Li Zhen's pocket.

Li Zhen caught the bat and found that the thing he stuffed in the bat's mouth was not brought in.

It seems that when entering another world, you can only carry with you the rewards you have obtained and the clothes you are wearing, and you cannot bring anything else.

Li Zhen picked up the palm leaf whip on the ground and casually stuffed it into his left sleeve.

The power that took him through time and space seemed to be able to only bring him into another world and bring him back to his original world after he completed his mission. It could not give him anything else.

We cannot let him bring tools from his original world, nor can we arrange an identity for him to reduce trouble.

Without painkillers, it would be troublesome if the disease broke out... Li Zhen frowned.

Forget it, let’s see what task we have to complete this time?
Do we need to find the summoner this time?
After looking around, Li Zhen walked out of a remote alley in one direction.

A fat man with a small mustache, who looked 70% like Fat Cat, and wearing a security uniform hurried past Li Zhen.

I have a connection with obese people...

Li Zhen, with a somewhat strange look on his face, retreated back to the alley, pulled up his sleeves, revealing the strange, flickering talisman on his arm.

Lines of red writing appeared on the talisman.

The evil spirit's malice has spread to Fatty. He wants to help others but doesn't realize that he is in danger himself.

Good people should not die at the hands of evil spirits for no reason. Please help Fatty avoid the fate of being killed, investigate the cause and effect of the strange incident, and eliminate the culprit.

Why is this mission statement so abstract?

Li Zhen was speechless.

But combined with what I just saw, it seems a little familiar.

Buildings, security guards, evil spirits...

There are too many horror movies with these themes. Even though Li Zhen is somewhat familiar with them, he can't figure out where he is.

After walking around the building, Li Zhen discovered that only the office spaces on the top few floors of this twenty-story building had been rented out, and the shops on the lower floors had not yet been rented out.

It was already time for everyone to get off work, so the entire building was almost deserted and eerie.

This place is obviously the best place to be haunted. There is no need to add special effects when shooting ghost movies.

The red-eyed bat seemed to sense the negative energy in the building. It moved a little in Li Zhen's arms and called out a few times in a somewhat alert and anxious manner.

This evil ghost is so scary that it makes these evil creatures feel dangerous?
Li Zhen patted the bat to comfort it.

This bat is a different species of bat, a cruel and evil creature. It can even sense danger. It seems that the things in the building are truly terrifying...

We must be careful, it would be ridiculous if we capsized here...

Li Zhen didn't dare to walk into the building rashly.

Seeing a small newsstand at the intersection a few hundred meters away, he walked straight there, intending to find out some information first.

As soon as he walked to the newsstand, a bold and red headline that took up most of the page caught Li Zhen's attention.

Shocking news! A demonic spirit has appeared in a building in Central and has killed several people!

The following news report said that a certain building was haunted and several security guards were killed.

One of them was called Mr. Hong Kong. He choked to death on a dog bone while eating dog meat and vomited yellow mud all over the ground.

The most recent person died recently. His name was Uncle Han. He was cooking porridge at home when the boiling hot porridge splattered all over his face and scalded him to death.

After extracting the information elements, Li Zhen suddenly understood why he felt a sense of familiarity just now.

Fatty, security guard, building, evil spirit, choking on bones, scalding to death with hot porridge...

Isn’t all this added together the classic horror movie “The Haunted House”?

The film's eerie atmosphere and scenes were very well created, especially the open ending, which left a lasting impression on Li Zhen and can be regarded as one of the shadows of his childhood.

After thinking about it carefully, Li Zhen remembered the general plot.

A guy named Zhang Jinqiang, out of his pitiful self-esteem, refused to work in his father-in-law's underwear factory, causing his pregnant wife to live with him in a simple little house in poverty.

After being repeatedly rejected for jobs, he found a job as a building security guard through a mysterious newspaper.

Ever since Zhang Jinqiang entered the building, strange things have been happening one after another.

After the security guards in the building died tragically one after another, a Feng Shui master intervened and told Zhang Jinqiang that the building was a gathering place for evil spirits, and that an evil spirit intended to come directly into the world through the fetus in Zhang Jinqiang's wife's belly.

With the help of the wizard, Zhang Jinqiang could have stopped the evil ghost from reincarnating, but because of his indecision, he missed the opportunity and instead killed the wizard who was eager to help him.

The fat boy was probably killed by the evil spirit after trying to help the boy get rid of the evil spirit.

Finally, the evil ghost successfully came into the human world in the form of a fetus.

After failing to get rid of the evil spirit, Zhang Jinqiang hid behind the door of his house.

When his wife came home holding their son, Zhang Jinqiang suddenly appeared with a ferocious look on his face and chopped the son in his wife's arms with an axe.

In addition to this scene, Li Zhen also remembered Fatty's death very clearly.

For the good guy Fatty, this was a completely unprovoked disaster, and in the end he died so miserably, so pitiful...

After a little thought, Li Zhen had an action plan in mind.
