this is not a joke

Chapter 257 The source of death

It may be that Huang Zhanpeng has always been like this, so Zou Yun didn't respond to his flattery.

But Wei An was not used to it.

Just listen to Huang Zhanpeng continue: "So we have now completed the first part of the main task of the ghost talk. The cause of death of these people is not frightened, but infected by a unique fear. It really is the chief investigator. Once in, not only Saved us, and immediately solved the first task!"

Goosebumps appeared on Wei An's body, and he said to Zou Yun: "Now the second task is to find the source of death without destroying the shopping mall, and then try to stay away from it. This is a bit ambiguous. If the source of death is the invisible monster, we also Once you find it, the next step is to stay away from it.”

Zou Yun understood what Wei An meant, and said, "Do you suspect that there is something else in the source of death?"

Wei An nodded, "If the source of death is only the invisible monster, then Zhang Zuxia is already ahead of us. He has already completed two main tasks and is about to complete the third main task, which is to approach it and destroy it. And this may also be the purpose of his choosing to enter this strange talk."

After a pause, he continued: "If there is something else in the source of death, Zhang Zuxia may be trying to complete the second one now, which is to find and determine the source of death. We should have a little more time."

Huang Zhanpeng said: "If there is another source of death, Wei Ge, think about it, my brain is not working well, otherwise I may not be able to think of it in my life."

This sentence invisibly flattered Wei An again.

Wei'an glanced sideways at Zou Yun, seeing Zou Yun's expressionless face, obviously she had no interest in this guy's way of speaking.

"Look for it. Although there are many shops here, it is more troublesome to find one by one." Wei An said: "It can kill everyone in public places, or even in every closed shop. This source of death may be very common, but It's easy to overlook."

Zou Yun also said, "Let's check on the third floor for the time being. If we can't find it, go to the second and first floors."

Wei'an also has this intention, because the invisible monster seems to be on the second floor at this time, and it is chasing and killing Zhang Zuxia, so Zhang Zuxia may also be looking for it on the second floor.

The three of them first searched the bathroom on the third floor with their backs against their backs. They didn't see anything unusual, then went to the cleaning room to search, and then went to the public drinking area.

After some searching, I didn't find anything abnormal, but in the cleaning room, I saw two elderly corpses, a man and a woman. The corpses were dressed in the clothes of cleaning staff. Like the people outside, they opened their mouths and bulged their eyes, showing A look of being frightened to death.

At this time, Wei An frowned slightly, as if he had some doubts, but he was not sure yet.

"Now let me open those closed shop doors, go in and look for them, and watch out for me at the door." He suggested.

"You and I went into the store to look for it together, and Huang Zhanpeng was in charge of guarding the door behind us." Zou Yun said.

Wei An didn't say any more, and the three of them quickly came to the store closest to the bathroom.

Wei An took out the black crowbar, inserted it into the gap of the glass door, easily hooked the lock inside, and then exerted a little force.

With a snap, the U-shaped lock snapped open.

Zou Yun glanced at the crowbar in his hand. It was obvious that she was interested in this crowbar, because if it was real, it would be impossible to pry the U-shaped lock with such a movement with a metal crowbar. This means that Wei'an's crowbar has an exclusive lockpicking ability.

In fact, the function of the black crowbar is more powerful than she imagined. If the energy imprint effect is turned on, more special items can be opened after injecting a certain amount of energy points.

Pushing the door open, Wei An put away the crowbar and walked in.

This store sells children's toys, and there are two dead bodies lying in it. It seems that they are all shop assistants and there are no other tourists.

The body of a clerk was curled up behind the counter, while another clerk was lying not far from the door.

Wei An immediately began to sense the black air after opening the door, but there was nothing.

He immediately went in and walked around, holding the special flashlight that Huang Zhanpeng handed him, and searched inside, but found nothing special.

Wei An immediately went to the second house. After picking the door lock, he stood at the door and sensed it. There was still no black air, so he went in and looked around.

This time, Wei An turned over all the corpses to check in case the source of death was attached to a certain corpse, but he didn't find it either.

When I returned to the door of the store, I heard Zou Yun say: "Are you looking for black air?"

Wei An didn't hide anything, and nodded, "When looking for the source of death, he was also looking for black air."

"There are a lot of closed spaces here, and there is a high probability of black air." Zou Yun nodded and didn't ask further questions.

Because in her opinion, people like Wei Anneng and Zhang Zuxia are on the same level in terms of strength, and there are more or less mental problems.

Since there are mental problems, black air is naturally needed to build a spiritual barrier.

Next, Wei An spent some time prying open all the doors of the closed shops on the third floor to look for them. He found a ray of black air in one of the shops, but he did not find any suspicious items similar to the source of death.

Just when I finished searching the third floor, I heard the sound of glass breaking from the direction of the second floor.

Huang Zhanpeng was taken aback, and said, "It's probably Zhang Zuxia smashing the glass door of the store. This guy may not be able to hold back."

Not everyone has a crowbar that can open the door locks. Zhang Zuxia may also want the black energy to stabilize his mental state, so when the locked doors cannot be easily opened, he has to break the door violently.

Of course, this guy shouldn't be insane right now, so it's impossible to do such a reckless behavior, otherwise the loss would outweigh the gain by attracting the invisible monster that was chasing him.

"Maybe he didn't smash it." Zou Yun said.

"Then who else is in this strange story?" Huang Zhanpeng was surprised, and then his expression was serious, "Is there a corpse downstairs that has been revived?"

Wei An turned to look at him, nodded after a while, "It's possible."

"Ah, it's really possible!" Huang Zhanpeng was speechless, he just guessed casually just now.

"Should we go down now?" Zou Yun asked.

Wei An shook his head, then looked at Zou Yun and Huang Zhanpeng, "Have you noticed that something is wrong here?"

Zou Yun and Huang Zhanpeng were confused. They looked at each other and shook their heads quickly.

Wei An said: "Didn't Huang Zhanpeng turn on the faucet when we went to the bathroom to look for it?"

"Well, there is no water." Huang Zhanpeng nodded.

"Later, I turned on the faucet again in the women's bathroom, and there was no water." Wei An said, "Not only that, but there is no water in the public drinking area. Then when I searched the shops, I noticed that the water dispensers in these shops The bottles are all empty, not a single drop of water is left in the barrel."

"Water?" Zou Yun was slightly taken aback, then licked his lips.

However, Huang Zhanpeng's throat moved, as if he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Hearing what you said, I suddenly feel very thirsty. How long has it been since I drank water?"

"Don't drink!"

"Don't drink water!"

Wei An and Zou Yun almost spoke in unison.

At the same time, a look of enlightenment appeared in the eyes of the two of them.

"Is this the source of death?" Zou Yun seemed to be asking herself.

At this moment, she felt that her throat was very dry, and suddenly she wanted to drink saliva to moisten her throat.

Wei An also cleared his throat and nodded slightly, "As long as you drink water, you should be perceived by this invisible weirdness, and infect the other party with that terrifying emotion."

"Don't say it, don't say this word." Huang Zhanpeng said: "I'm so thirsty now, I really want to drink a few sips."
