A passerby in a horror movie

"Xiao Tian, ​​where did you go before? You didn't even lend me a hand."

After dealing with Ajiu's family's affairs, Uncle Yan, looking exhausted, led Li Hao downstairs and inquired.

So much happened today—people died, fires broke out—Uncle Yan has been running around like crazy, he's exhausted.

"Uncle, I was worried about Xiaobai, so I went downstairs to keep an eye on him."

"What happened at Aunt Mei's house? Who died?"

Li Haotian had already found an excuse, and after explaining, he asked a question.

"Don't even mention it. That foul-mouthed Dong died in the bathroom. I don't even know how he died. His body was really weird too. I'm telling you, don't go around spreading rumors..."

Uncle Yan quietly recounted what had happened.

"Won't that turn them into zombies? Aunt May actually wants to raise zombies, I never would have guessed."

Li Haotian pretended to exclaim in surprise.

"Keep your voice down. This matter hasn't been investigated yet, and I don't think it has anything to do with Sister Mei."

Uncle Yan shook his head. Based on his understanding of Aunt Mei, she wasn't the kind of person who would do such a thing.

Even if he believed it, others would inevitably speculate and make wild guesses.

For a time, some of the residents in the building were filled with anxiety.

Uncle Yan naturally couldn't stop it, and Li Haotian didn't cause any trouble. He dealt with things with Uncle Yan and took the time to coach Xiaobai.

Soon, it was night time.

When Li Haotian was on patrol, he checked on Ajiu's house several times. After Ajiu cleaned up the mess in her house, she left the building and didn't return until evening, carrying large and small bags, the contents of which were unknown.

To prevent any accidents from happening, Li Haotian used a few toys to coax Xiaobai into sleeping with him for one night.

In the dead of night, most of the residents in the building were asleep.

As a security guard, Li Haotian also completed his last patrol an hour earlier and returned to his room to rest.

At 11 p.m., a figure quietly emerged from the room and ran straight to the door of room 2442 without hesitation.

This person was none other than Ajiu.

Ah Jiu was in very bad shape at the moment. Without the help of Ghost Smoke, his body was extremely weak and he was only able to stay afloat by the magic power within his body.

The ghosts in 2442 are quite ferocious, and with his current strength, the probability of him being able to capture them is very small.

However, Ah Jiu had no choice. If she didn't catch these two wronged souls, she would die in the next two days, either from illness or by being taken away by the ghost messengers.

Moreover, he has repeatedly evaded the ghost messengers' attempts to take his soul, and has committed so many heinous acts; he will surely suffer terribly after his soul is taken.

So no matter what, he has to get through this today.

"Cough cough."

He covered his mouth and coughed a few times, then took out several talismans from his pocket and was about to walk to the door to stick them on.

He prepared the talisman that afternoon to suppress ghosts.

However, tonight, the sky was overcast and there was no moon. The lights in the building had long been turned off by Li Haotian. Afraid of being discovered, Ajiu did not turn on any lights and made his way here in the dark.

Therefore, he did not notice the several dark animal traps under his feet.

As he approached the door of 2442, one of his feet stepped into a bear trap.

"what……"

Suddenly, a scream echoed through the corridor.

Ah Jiu, her expression twisted, quickly covered her mouth and made hand seals, using her magic to relieve the pain and stop the bleeding.

Unfortunately, his condition was really bad, and he had used up a lot of his magic power from drawing the talisman, so the bleeding was not completely stopped.

Moreover, this animal trap had been smeared with chili oil and salt by some unscrupulous person, which nearly made Ah Jiu faint.

It's fortunate that Ajiu is a sorcerer; an ordinary person would probably have fainted from the pain.

However, Ah Jiu is not in good shape either. The animal trap is no small thing; it's almost pierced through his leg.

Despite the pain, Ah Jiu managed to remove the animal trap with great difficulty, by which time she was completely exhausted.

"What a brilliant move, truly brilliant. To this day, I still don't know who's trying to harm me..."

Ah Jiu grinned, his eyes filled with resentment and anger.

By now, he understood perfectly well that someone wanted to harm him and kill him.

However, he didn't even see the person before being made so disheveled.

Ah Jiu's voice wasn't loud, and because it was late at night, no one noticed.

However, Ah Jiu no longer has the strength to enter 2442. If he opens the door, he fears he will be killed in an instant.

There was no other way; the damage caused by the animal trap was too great, and his sickly body could barely stand up.

After resting for a while, Ajiu finally stood up, albeit shakily.

Just as I was about to push open the door, suddenly, a strong aura of yin energy came from the end of the corridor.

"Damn it, why are they here so early!"

Ah Jiu's expression changed drastically. He was all too familiar with this yin energy; it was the yin energy of the ghost messenger.

Given his lifespan, he had long since reached the point of going to hell, so the ghost messengers would come to collect his soul every night.

However, they always arrived after midnight before, but today they came early.

Ah Jiu was unwilling to accept this and wanted to escape, but he was no match for the ghost messengers.

In the past, he was concealed by ghost smoke, making it difficult for the ghost messengers to find him. But now, Ah Jiu had no ghost smoke, and the four tall ghost messengers holding umbrellas instantly locked onto him.

"Got you!"

An indescribable voice rang in Ajiu's ears. Before he could raise his hand to cast a spell, he suddenly felt his soul tremble, and a long chain pierced through his body.

"Hoohoohoo."

In the blink of an eye, Ajiu felt as if she were flying. When she turned her head, she found herself still standing at the door, and then she fell straight down.

"boom."

Ah Jiu's body stiffened, and her soul left her body, where it was grabbed by the ghost messengers.

The sound of the body falling to the ground was quite loud, waking Ah-hao, who lived in 2442. After turning on the light, he opened the door with some confusion.

As soon as the door opened, a chilling aura filled the air. Looking down, one could see Ah Jiu's corpse.

Ah-hao immediately snapped out of it and quickly checked on Ah-jiu's condition.

After discovering that he was dead, Ah-hao rushed downstairs to call Uncle Yan.

Although Ah-hao himself was in a bad state and wanted to commit suicide, he couldn't remain indifferent when someone died at his doorstep.

So, not long after, Uncle Yan, Li Haotian, and the neighbors who had been woken up all arrived at 2442 in droves.

Another person died in the building, making the residents even more uneasy.

Moreover, Ah Jiu's death was very strange; he looked like he had suffered a great shock, and the wounds on his legs were also shocking and chilling.

"Ah Hao, why do you put animal traps at the door for no reason?"

Uncle Yan saw the animal trap and questioned Ah Hao.

Ah-hao naturally denied it, and Uncle Yan had no choice but to wait for the police to arrive and investigate.

However, Ah You, who was eating fried rice nearby, saw through the trick.

"Her soul was stolen?"

The lingering yin energy left by the ghost messenger was still there, and Ah Jiu's soul was not completely cleansed. Ah You quickly guessed that Ah Jiu's soul had been taken away.

Moreover, he also saw the talisman in Ajiu's hand and basically guessed what Ajiu wanted to do.

However, all of this is too bizarre.

The events of the past two days have given Ayou a very bad feeling, as if someone is plotting against him behind his back.

However, Ah Jiu was already dead, and he had no way to inquire or investigate, so he had to give up for the time being.

Although Ayou and Ajiu have a good relationship, Ajiu should have died long ago. It's a blessing that she's still alive, so there's nothing to regret.

Ah You can't possibly fight with the ghost messengers for someone; that would be suicide.

The police arrived quickly and cordoned off the scene.

Because they died at Ah-hao's doorstep, both Ah-hao and Uncle Yan were taken to the police station.

This time, Li Haotian also accompanied Uncle Yan. After finishing the statement, he didn't return until almost dawn.

Ah-hao still needs to conduct an investigation, so he probably won't be back for several days.
