Chapter 2: Late Night Funeral
At 11:45 on October 21st, Shanming City was still brightly lit, and many people’s nightlife had just begun.
In the taxi, Ji Li's eyes were shrouded in gray, and he was silent as he watched the hurried scene outside the window.
It wasn't until the cigarette butts on hand burned out and my fingers were burned that I could break away from that trance.
It was only a few minutes' drive from the location posted by the hotel in the email, so Ji Li could be said to have set off at the right time.
After a long illness, he became a doctor. He had fought with ghosts several times and was considered an expert.
Although the supernatural location has been designated as Begging Alley, under normal circumstances, you must not enter in advance.
Otherwise, it is very likely to cause an early attack by ghosts, and the mission has not yet started at that time, and he will face a dead end with no way out!
"I remembered!"
The two personalities who had never spoken a word along the way broke the silence.
The person speaking was the third personality that had just emerged.
"My name is not Ji Li...I should be called Ji Li! I was hypnotizing a patient, why did he suddenly enter your body?"
"Stop talking nonsense, third brother, your name is Ji Li, we are all Ji Li!"
"impossible!"
Ji Li scratched his head dumbly. His second personality was manic and vulgar, and he had no extra memory.
This third personality has not spoken much since it appeared yesterday, but now it seems to be somewhat unique.
But before he had time to think too much, the taxi slowly stopped at a deserted alley.
The uncle driver turned his head and grinned: "Brother, we've arrived at the begging alley."
Ji Li dusted off the cigarette ashes on his body, took out a piece of cash from his arms and handed it over without asking for change, and got out of the car with his tool bag.
"Shut up, everyone. If you survive this time, think about the future."
The third personality did not speak, and the second personality became appropriately silent.
Now in this dark alley at midnight, the only sound of Ji Li's footsteps is left.
In the deep alley, there is only a streetlight in the center that barely brings a ray of light. There are no houses on both sides, and they are all made of bricks and stones. It takes almost ten meters to walk before you can see a dilapidated and locked wooden door.
Ji Li had never heard of the Begging Alley before. He had searched many records about the alley before and found no supernatural rumors.
Seeing the sparsely populated area made him feel even colder.
This occasion seems to be born to be a haunted place.
Ji Li raised his wrist and glanced at his watch. It was now eleven fifty-eight at midnight, and there were only two minutes left before the ghost appeared.
As soon as he put down the backpack on his shoulders, he heard a burst of frolicking from behind!
"Liuzi, you really drank too much today, can you still find a home?"
"Tch, I'm much more awake than you, and I can still walk in a straight line!"
"You two, slow down, slow down!"
Ji Li frowned. He saw three shaky figures walking behind him. They were three drunkards...
There are only two minutes left before ghosts appear and the entire alley will become a place of sin. At this time, outsiders disrupting the situation will definitely change the mission!
Ji Li's worry was not shown, and he did not even try to stop the three of them. He just watched them getting closer and closer.
"Hehe, they are really unlucky, but it is a good thing for us." The second personality suddenly said with a weird laugh.
call……
Ji Li suddenly felt a chill on his neck, and a sudden cold wind blew past him for no reason. He turned his head suddenly as if he sensed something.
Everything in front of me is completely different from what I saw before!
Under the dim street lights, yellow papers filled the sky, and a group of figures wearing sackcloth and mourning carried a coffin and marched slowly towards the location of Ji Li and others without saying a word!
"Did I drink too much? There's a funeral in the middle of the night?" A bloated man stood there and said.
"Liuzi, this is very unlucky! Let's turn around quickly!" The face of the tall and thin man who was supporting him changed.
Except for Ji Li, the three drunkards all evacuated toward the alley where they came from. He watched everything but never stopped them.
The mission has begun, and they can't get out of this alley!
The funeral procession was getting closer and closer. Ji Li listened to the dull footsteps of those people and set his eyes on the coffin.
"How will the ghost appear this time?"
Not only the coffins, but also the group of people dressed in sackcloth were very strange. Their faces were as white as white paper, and their body proportions were extremely similar, as if they were carved out of the same mold.
As the distance continued to shrink, Ji Li held his bag in one hand and pressed against the wall, watching with breathless concentration as the person leading the way passed by him, but ignored him.
ignore…
This deepened the strange feeling in Ji Li's heart. The mission only started less than five minutes ago, and he was still in the exploration stage.
He looked at the leading officers wearing white banners. They were so close that he couldn't even hear the slightest breath.
"Are they not human?"
At this moment, the three drunkards who had left earlier ran back sweating profusely, looking at Ji Li who had already mixed with the funeral procession, and were dumbfounded.
"Is this... really a ghost? Why can't I find the exit at all?" The fat man named Liuzi shouted eagerly.
thump!
The moment Liu Zi's words came out, the entire funeral procession stopped instantly. The coffin bearers threw the coffin to the ground. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Liu Zi!
Ji Li frowned, maybe that man's words touched something...
Liuzi almost fell to the ground with a cry, but the tall and thin man on both sides and another man with yellow hair quickly supported him.
"Don't talk too much, don't talk too much!" The tall and thin man had a stronger psychological quality and hurriedly nodded and bowed to apologize.
After the funeral procession stood there for a long time, they lifted up the coffin and continued to move forward. They turned a blind eye to Ji Li and headed forward to welcome Liu Zi and others.
"Funeral at midnight..."
The funeral procession was halfway through and seemed to be leaving the begging alley.
Liuzi leaned against the corner with his belly curled up, shivering constantly. He watched with trepidation the puppet-like figures in white walking past, with his heart in his throat.
Fortunately, it seemed that they didn't pay attention to him. He wiped his sweat and looked at the coffin bearers near him and breathed a sigh of relief. When these people walked over, he felt at ease.
I was thinking this in my mind, but my eyes still glanced at the pure black solid wood coffin curiously, and then at the appearance of the coffin bearers.
Liuzi screamed strangely in his heart, as if he had discovered something unreasonable, and scratched his head.
But then, a subtle sound appeared!
His green bean-sized eyes widened, and his sight was swallowed up instantly, and then he completely stepped into the abyss of darkness.
He opened his mouth as wide as possible, but his throat seemed to be blocked, and he could barely squeeze out a few words.
"I...how did I..."
Then, his unfinished words disappeared together with his fat body.
When Slender Man and Huang Mao reacted, their scalps felt numb.
Chapter completed!
