Chapter 359 Exploring the Sewer

The sound of dripping water dripped in the gloomy sewer, and the three of us walked cautiously into the depths.

The blue smoke from the burning talisman, like a nimble little snake, gathers but does not disperse, winding forward.

The deeper you go, the lower the surrounding temperature. I have Yanghuo body protection, and I can bear it, but Ghost Detective Xu and Lao Liu are not enough.

"How about, why don't you go back first?" Seeing that they were struggling, I made a suggestion.

"I've come here, I don't want to go in and have a look, I'm a little unwilling." Old Liu gritted his teeth and said.

"You don't need to worry about us, the two of us can persevere." After warming his hands, Ghost Detective Xu rubbed his face vigorously.

I didn't persuade anymore, and continued to move forward. The deeper I went, the more obvious the traces of artificial changes became.

"Have any of you ever heard that there is a big person buried in our small county?" I asked without looking back.

"In our land, counting forward with your fingers, it seems that there have been no big names?" Ghost Detective Xu's voice was a little confused.

"That's really strange. Where did the foreign devils who built the church hear the news? We native-born locals don't know the inside story." I said to myself suspiciously.

"I have heard a rumor." Old Liu's tone was a little hesitant.

"What rumor?" I was a little interested.

"When I was young, we had a custom called offering sacrifices to Lord Wuhuang. It is said that it can ensure good weather and good harvests. I once asked my grandfather what is Lord Wuhuang. Grandpa said that Lord Wuhuang was buried under our feet. .” Lao Liu said with some hesitation.

"Have you never heard of Lord Wuhuang?" I frowned and thought for a while, only to realize that I was very unfamiliar with this name.

We walked and chatted, and before we knew it, we came to a strange place. This is a secret road dug by man, which is connected to the sewer we came from.

"Hey, look quickly, there seems to be a light over there." Ghost Detective Xu pointed to a side road and said excitedly.

"Go, go and have a look." I fixed my eyes and walked over there.

Our current position has been completely separated from the main body of the sewer, and we can't tell the direction underground, and we don't know where we have gone.

"Excavating such a complicated tunnel is a big project." Xu Zaibai, the ghost detective, sighed.

"Have you noticed that the excavated tunnels are different from old to new, and may not have been built by the same group of people." Lao Liu observed carefully.

"What's that thing in front?" Ghost Detective Xu pointed his phone at the front.

I squinted my eyes and saw something seemed to be lying on the ground in front of me. The light was too dim to see clearly, so I immediately quickened my pace and took a few steps forward.

"That's a bone, a human bone." Old Liu said in a deep voice behind him.

I focused my gaze and saw several wreckages in front of me clearly. They seemed to have been dead for many years, and their clothes were so rotten that I couldn't see their original shape.

Old Liu is naturally sensitive to things like corpses, so he hurried past me.

"Old Liu, don't touch it indiscriminately." I hurriedly warned.

Some corpses, if placed in an environment full of yin energy for a long time, will inevitably produce corpse poison. Ordinary people are not prepared. If they touch these corpses, they will be infected by corpse poison.

Lao Liu got my reminder, walked over and squatted aside, just frowned and looked at it, but didn't reach out to touch it.

"The two dead people were about forty years old. They were both men. Judging from their clothes, they both belonged to the 70s." Lao Liu had rich experience and could infer many things from the bones.

I walked over and saw the two skeletons on the ground, which had turned slightly black, which was a sign of being infected with corpse poison, so I quickly told my companions not to touch these two skeletons.

"Brother Zhang, there is a small sign under your feet." Ghost Detective Xu held up his mobile phone and reminded him.

I looked down to my toes, and saw half of a small iron plate exposed in the soil beside it, with pins on it, which should be the nameplate pinned to my chest.

I picked up the small sign at my feet, gently blew the dust on it, and saw the words "St. Mary's Christian Gospel Church" engraved on the sign with the light of my mobile phone.

"It seems that the two deceased should be volunteers of the old church, but I don't know what they did in the secret passage and why they died here." I stared at the two bones beside me.

"There is no dagger or other murder weapon nearby, and judging from the posture of the bones, it doesn't look like homicide. They either lost their way and starved to death, or encountered some unexpected incident." Old Liu analyzed from the side.

"Maybe the answer is just ahead, let's see what is shining." I stood up and walked forward.

After turning a corner, a small secret room appeared within our line of sight, and the glowing thing turned out to be a light bulb.

"What's going on, why is the electricity still on here?" Ghost Detective Xu's face was in disbelief.

The light bulb is a tungsten light bulb that has been eliminated, the light is dim, and there is a layer of cobwebs around it, which seems to be very old.

"The quality of this light bulb is good enough. It hasn't broken after so many years." Old Liu looked around.

The secret room ahead seems to be an abandoned small warehouse, storing these messy things.

"Who?" Ghost Detective Xu suddenly exclaimed behind him.

I turned around abruptly, seeing Ghost Tan Xu with a solemn face, staring at the corner without blinking.

"What's wrong?" I asked nervously.

"Just now there was a black shadow passing by the corner." The ghost detective said in a deep voice.

My face changed, and I ran over quickly, turned the corner, and stared at the front, it was empty, and there was no shadow.

Footsteps came from behind, and Lao Liu and Ghost Detective Xu ran over, and Ghost Detective Xu held up his mobile phone to take photos in front of him.

"There isn't a single ghost, are you dazzled?" Lao Liu asked suspiciously.

"It shouldn't be. I saw clearly just now that a person walked past the corner." Ghost Detective Xu said doubtfully.

"Hiss!" Lao Liu folded his arms and took a breath, looked around uneasily, and complained to Ghost Detective Xu, "Can you stop scaring yourself?"

"What's that?" Ghost Detective Xu pointed his phone ahead, his voice trembling.

My scalp tightened, and I saw a blurry figure appearing in the light of the phone, staggering, walking towards this side.

"Whoever is over there, stand still." Lao Liu nervously took out his pistol and pointed forward to warn.

The figure didn't speak, and didn't even pause, but still limped towards it.

As we got closer, I finally saw the other person's face clearly. Even though I was as calm as I was, my arms trembled undetectably.

"My mother, what kind of monster is that?" Ghost Detective Xu flicked his wrist, and the phone fell to the ground.

The limping figure was a man in a flowered shirt, but his face was rotten and his movements were stiff, making him look like a zombie.

However, I clearly felt a trace of yang energy in the other party, very weak, and it was this ray of yang energy that showed that the other party was not a zombie, but a living person.

"Help me, save me!" The limping, zombie-like figure wailed hoarsely, sounding like a ghost crying.

"Who are you? Stand there and don't move." Old Liu shouted nervously.

The figure turned a deaf ear to Old Liu's warning, wailing in his mouth, and limped towards this side.

"Old Xu Lao Liu, you two are standing behind me, something is wrong with him." I took out a talisman and said in a deep voice.

The face in the floral shirt was so rotten that I couldn't see a human figure, and one of the eyeballs fell out, but even so, the other party was still alive, which made me think of a kind of evil recorded in the Sutra of Broken Physiognomy.

That kind of evil thing is called Zombie. As the name suggests, it is a living zombie. Even if the whole body is rotten and only the skeleton remains, they will not die. They will only instinctively suck the blood of the living.

And the strange thing about that evil thing is that after sucking the blood of living people, they will grow blood again, and even become more and more obsessed with the taste of blood.

"Ah, the clothes on his body look familiar to me, I seem to have seen them somewhere before." Ghost Detective Xu let out a low cry.

"Do you know the real situation of that monster?" Old Liu asked anxiously.

"Remember, he is Liu Xu's second tenant. He has been missing for a while. I didn't expect to become like this." Ghost detective Xu patted his leg hard.

My eyelids twitched sharply, but the monster has already started to trot and is about to launch an attack. The situation does not allow me to think too much, so I can only subdue the opponent first.

Considering this stupidity, I was once Liu Xu's second tenant, and maybe I knew something inside, so I didn't use the Gouyu Sword.

Although the evil thing is disgusting, but its strength is not very good, it is slightly stronger than an ordinary adult.

I turned sideways to avoid the opponent's attack, and the hand holding the talisman paper was as fast as lightning, and stuck the talisman paper between the opponent's eyebrows.

The greasy feeling on my hand made me feel sick. To be honest, I would rather fight with the deadly corpse spider than deal with this guy. It's disgusting that my hands are full of rotten liquid when I touch it.

After being hit by the talisman paper, the stiff fell to the ground, motionless, as if dead.

I frowned subconsciously. It shouldn't be this kind of reaction. It's just an ordinary soul-suppressing talisman.

When I was about to go to investigate the situation, Ghost Detective Xu let out an exclamation, saying that he had found an exit at the other side of the secret room.

My attention was distracted all of a sudden, thinking that I would not be able to run away, so I planned to go there first to see where the exit led to.

"It's Liu Xu's villa, and the other exit of this secret road is actually in the kitchen of Liu Xu's villa." Ghost Detective Xu's surprised voice came from the other end.

I paused. I knew from the beginning that there was something wrong with Liu Xu. Now it has been confirmed, but there are still many doubts that I haven't cleared up. Besides, isn't it said that there is an ancient tomb under here?

Putting aside distracting thoughts for the time being, I walked over and looked around, and found that the secret room I was in was actually a basement under Liu Xu's villa.

But that villa was built in recent years, but this secret room has obviously been built for many years. What is going on?
