Treacherous Collector

Chapter 23 Huh?Demonic

Liwan Plaza is divided into the main body of the circular square, the North Tower and the South Tower.The North Tower is close to Longnan Road, a little deserted, mainly dealing in jade and clothing.

Near the South Tower is the famous Shanghe Road Jade Street, which is very popular with foreigners. Next, there is the Liwan Bowling Alley in the North Tower, and the Kowloon Hotel, a luxury hotel well-known in Suicheng.

The highest floor of the square is forty floors, shops below the sixth floor, and luxury residences above the sixth floor.

However, due to frequent accidents such as suicides and homicides nearby, most of the residents have moved out of this place. Coupled with the rapid development of Tianhu District and the new district in Suicheng, the customers who originally belonged to Liwan Plaza have been gradually diluted.

Now it is the rainstorm week, the shopping mall is empty, there are no operators and no customers, only Lu You, a group of poor people who have been kidnapped here for no reason.

"Thank you officer, what do you think we should do?"

After checking the map in the lobby of the circular plaza, the three of them started walking towards the main control room in the south tower.

The shopping mall was eerily quiet, except for the footsteps and echoes of the three people, there was no sound.

"We have to find a way to escape. It's raining so hard, if we drown here, we're all finished."

Xie Changming led the girl by the hand, and pointed to the fire exit sign, signaling Lu You to follow him.

"Little sister, what's your name?" Xie Changming asked the girl who was hugging him tightly.

At this moment, the mall's PA system sounded again.

"Fang Chang, the assistant commissioner of the three groups, has been shot dead because he escaped from the game area privately. Please don't make the same mistakes with other detectives and concentrate on investigating the case."

"Is that unreasonable?" Lu You asked suspiciously.

Xie Changming clenched his fists and said with righteous indignation:

"They are ignoring the law!"

The girl who was already nervous was frightened again, squatting on the ground and sobbing softly.

"When I go out, I will definitely catch them all! No one will be left behind!"

"Brother, but we can't go out."

Lu You took out his mobile phone and showed Xie Changming the words "No Signal" on the screen.

"The mobile phone signal was blocked by them."

"By the way, Officer Xie, didn't you bring anything like a walkie-talkie? Try to contact your colleagues and let them come to rescue us."

Xie Changming helped the girl up and wiped away his tears.

"I brought a walkie-talkie and hid it in CocoTak's schoolbag. I'll try to contact the outside when I go back."

Then he looked down at the girl.

"My name is Xie Changming. I'm a policeman. Don't be afraid, I will protect you. What's your name? Why are you here?"

"Woooo. My name is Qin Su. I was studying in Suicheng, but my best friend forcibly dragged me here. As a result, she went home first during the party, leaving me here alone, ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.

"Don't be afraid, you'll be fine with me here."

Invisibly being stuffed with a handful of dog food, Lu You clapped his hands and applauded.

"Can we open the switch first? Then you can talk?" Lu You urged.

"Okay, go on, you lead the way."

Lu You left the corridor leading to the fire escape, and searched for the direction of the emergency freight elevator in the south tower in his mind.

It is clearly stated on the map of the shopping mall that the motor of the emergency freight elevator is shared with the motor of the basement, and it should not be damaged by the storm.

The main control room is not far from the exit of the freight elevator in the south tower, so taking the emergency freight elevator can save you a lot of walking.

It was already six or seven o'clock in the morning, and the rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, but it was morning after all, and there was still some light.

Faint light came in through the corridor windows, allowing them to see the road ahead without turning on the flash.

Lu You suddenly stopped, quickly interrupted Xie Changming who was about to ask a question with gestures, then turned off the flash and pointed forward.

Far ahead, at the entrance of the freight elevator, stood a tall black shadow!

The black figure was about two meters tall, muscular all over, with extremely wide shoulders, and its outline was very similar to the giant Tolu in "The Adventures of Jackie Chan".

Its nails—or maybe the finger itself!Extending from the crotch to the ground, the phalanges protrude, and the number of joints is far more than that of normal humans.

Although the darkness makes it impossible to observe the details of its body with the naked eye, anyone who looks at it can understand that this thing is absolutely not human!

Lu You suddenly felt that this figure was very familiar, a bit like the ghoul that attacked him in the Western Suburb Cemetery!
"What is that?" Xie Changming asked in a low voice.

"A monster called a ghoul."

"How did you know?"

"I have encountered it before, and I was almost killed by this thing."

"Now we can't get through it, let's turn around and find another way out, take the stairs or the escalator that is out of service."

"By the way, try to walk as lightly as possible and reduce your breathing rate. That thing can find people by breathing."

The three of them turned their heads while pinching their hands and feet, preparing to leave the corridor.

"Cough, cough, cough." Qin Su suddenly coughed violently.

At the same time, the ghoul's head turned around quickly, and everyone couldn't see its face clearly in the darkness, but its faint green eyes were undoubtedly telling everyone: I saw you, and you will be gone.

"Run, run!"

Lu You yelled, and then ran wildly, followed by Xie Changming and Qin Su.

"Run! Run separately, you two don't hug each other!"

The speed of the ghoul was obviously much faster than the crowd. It rushed up and threw Lu You down, and then stabbed Lu You's face with its sharp nails.

Lu You tried his best to resist the nail, preventing it from moving forward.

The nails were as sharp as a knife, and if they poked the door with this thing, they would surely die on the spot.

Taking advantage of the opportunity of close contact, Lu You saw the face of the ghoul clearly. He had an impression of this face, and it seemed to be one of the people who played the four-corner game at the party just now.

Yes, id is square length!It's the poor guy who was just killed!

But how did he turn into a monster and come here?I really can't figure it out, could it be the ghost of the masked man again?

"Come~help~help~ah!"

Xie Changming heard the sound and ran back. Seeing Lu You entangled with the monster, he couldn't help but rush forward immediately, kicked the monster off Lu You, then pulled Lu You up, turned around and ran.

"It's square."

Due to physical structural problems, the monster that was kicked over could not get up for the time being, and could only roll left and right like an overturned crab, trying to stand up.

"Fang Chang? The one who was notified just now?"

"Yes, those people didn't know what method they used to turn him into this thing."

Xie Changming gritted his teeth, secretly thinking that he didn't know why there was such a big black and evil force in his jurisdiction.

He, who received atheism education since he was a child, would find it difficult to accept it for a while, so he asked:
"Is that thing still human, has it been transformed?"

"Don't think about it. It's not within the scope of modern science. I'll explain it to you later."

The two found Qin Su who had run away, ran out of the corridor with her, and pulled down the fire shutter door.

Lu You leaned against the wall and sat down, panting heavily.
