Chapter 61 The Weeper

Fu Zhaozhao shook his head calmly: "Of course not."

The gatekeeper was puzzled: "Then what are you doing in this barren place?"

In fact, what the caretaker said was not wrong. The original place where the abandoned factory was built was a graveyard halfway up the mountain. However, it was just too long ago and there were too many lonely graves and wild graves here, so the reconstruction was postponed until later.

As for the reason why the factory was abandoned, it is most likely because there are often rumors of being haunted here.

Fu Zhaozhao had focused on understanding this aspect before coming here.

"I came here to find something." Fu Zhaozhao said.

The caretaker was puzzled and looked at her with a slightly questioning look, "This place has been abandoned for a long time. Except for some larger machinery that has not been moved away, nothing else is left."

"So what are you looking for?"

Fu Zhaozhao said without changing his expression: "The cat my friend asked me to raise was lost yesterday. Some people said they saw the cat running here, so I came over to look for it."

When she said this, the janitor seemed to think of the noise and a white shadow in the factory at midnight last night.

"Oh...it turns out to be your cat. I thought it was something, but it scared me last night." The caretaker opened the door with a murmur, and then said: "Come out as soon as you find the cat. "

Fu Zhaozhao thanked the other party and walked sideways into the yard.

As soon as a stranger entered, the native dogs who were still sleeping soundly were immediately awakened and looked frightened.

However, after seeing the people who came in clearly, they all lay back, obviously feeling that the other party was not a threat.

There is a local lychee tree planted in the factory, but it has not been taken care of for a long time, and the leaves on it have turned a lot yellow, and only a few thin lychees are still hanging on it.

As they walked along, the ground was filled with mud. Fu Zhaozhao even noticed that there seemed to be something white and bone-like underneath some fallen leaves.

She stepped forward and gently kicked away the fallen leaves, revealing a badly decomposed cat corpse with a lot of torn out internal organs hanging on it, which looked particularly disgusting.

The rotten smell was particularly strong around here, and it was obvious that there was more than one corpse.

Along with the sound of footsteps, corpses piled under the fallen leaves were exposed. They were of different types of animals. The only thing that was the same was that they were probably dead in the same way.

Walking along the remaining bones, I saw an abandoned factory in the center.

The exterior wall of the factory has peeled off a lot and looks mottled, yellowed and shabby.

What makes Fu Zhaozhao feel strange is that there are only a few windows in the factory on the second floor. The first floor is all sealed. It seems that something serious happened when he left the factory, and he is afraid of the people inside. Things ran out before they were hurriedly blocked.

Pushing open the rusty iron door, it may have been too long since it was used. The door made a harsh friction sound, which was uncomfortable to hear.

After entering the factory, Fu Zhaozhao felt an extremely cool feeling, as if some wind had blown into his bones.

According to the location of the photo, she came all the way to the second floor.

The second floor seems to be full of heavy machinery, and the green paint on it has fallen off a lot due to the passage of time.

In the middle of those heavy machines, there is a strange Eight Immortals Table.

It was difficult for Fu Zhaozhao to associate the Eight Immortals Table with a place like a factory, but that was the fact.

I don’t know who placed the Eight Immortals Table here, and the location is a bit strange. It is in front of a broken window, and the place where the weeping person is photographed in the photo is right under the Eight Immortals Table. At that time, the cryer was covering his face with his skinny hands in pain, only the position of his eyes was exposed, and his scarlet eyes stared greedily at the prey.

However, the Eight Immortals table is now empty, and there are no weepers.

Fu Zhaozhao stepped forward and leaned over to study the spot where the weeper had been, hoping to find something useful on it.

Unfortunately, apart from a few not-so-obvious scratches, there is nothing else useful.

Fu Zhaozhao then walked around the entire factory but couldn't find anything useful. Just as he was frowning and about to leave, the sound of iron bars falling to the ground and rolling could be heard in the originally empty factory. It came from the first floor.

Looking for the source of the sound, I saw an iron rod rolling gently on the ground, stopping only after it hit an object.

Fu Zhaozhao looked forward in the direction of the rolling iron rod, and saw something that seemed to be hiding in the corner. He was sobbing softly, and a feeling of sadness spread around him.

With just one glance, she recognized the other person's identity - the Weeper.

The sound of sobbing came and went, and was accompanied by murmurs, which seemed to be saying something, but the other party's eyes were fixedly looking in the direction of Fu Zhaozhao, as if the sadness was transmitted to her.

Fu Zhaozhao suddenly felt tight in his chest, as if he had lost something important, and inexplicable sadness slowly emerged from his heart.

Just as she was walking towards the other party, she suddenly felt a cold feeling on both sides of her cheeks. She reached out and touched it, and it turned out to be the tears she had shed unconsciously.

He was shocked by the cryer's ability, but had to guard against the other person's control over his emotions.

For a moment, Fu Zhaozhao even felt that the other party was innocent.

Just as she was thinking, the sobbing suddenly stopped; the figure originally hiding in the corner also disappeared, and she didn't know when she left.

Fu Zhaozhao touched his chest and sighed with some discomfort, feeling better now.

Although she has not had close contact with the Weeper, she already has a general understanding of his abilities.

The cryer can only affect emotions within a certain range, and the closer to it, the more severe the mood swings will be. In severe cases, the cryer may regard the other person as a companion.

Fu Zhaozhao paused and felt something was wrong.

She remembered that Xiaobao once said that cryers have the ability to assimilate others. According to this conjecture, the closer to the cryer, the greater the probability of being assimilated.

While she was thinking, a flashlight shone on her face.

The dazzling light made Fu Zhaozhao uncomfortable. She squinted for a while and finally saw the person holding the flashlight clearly.

The janitor had one hand behind his back and a flashlight dangling in the other.

As if he suddenly saw Fu Zhaozhao, he was startled, and then said in a long-winded tone: "I thought you had gone somewhere. I called you outside a few times and you didn't answer."

Fu Zhaozhao covered the light with his hand and replied casually: "It's a bit big here, and I felt a little lost for a while."

The gatekeeper seemed to have known this for a long time, and said clearly: "Of course you will get lost. If you don't bring a flashlight, you won't be able to see the road clearly." After saying that, he walked over in slippers.

The sound of slippers echoing back and forth in this silent and empty environment was a little breathtaking.
