Aoba Office

The rain came hard and fast.

I don’t need to explain anything. This man who shouted at the top of his lungs has already realized what happened.

When he saw Lu Qiaolan and me, he didn't say hello, so he made a phone call with a headache, probably to contact the fire station.

In my impression, when you encounter difficulties, you either go to the police or the firefighters. After all, the government is in charge, so you don’t have to worry about being alone.

This prerequisite is that the relevant departments can be found.

The man hung up the phone without saying anything, picked up the phone again, put it down again, and checked the phone line.

I think something is wrong.

Almost like a man, I took out my phone and there was not a single signal on the screen.

I didn't dial the number, but the man did. Judging from his expression, I knew the situation was not good.

At this time, the man raised his head and looked at me and Lu Qiaolan, "Don't stay here anymore. I can't even get through on the phone. Come upstairs with me!"

He seemed to be the only hotel staff member on duty.

He took the key out of the drawer at the front desk and went upstairs, knocking on the door from room to room.

There were not many people staying in the hotel, but many were police officers from out of town.

When the man shouted, many police officers ran out.

Because they had just discovered a big clue, these people had been busy for most of the day and were now feeling listless. They all came from different places. Some policemen were surprised when they heard that there was flooding. They didn't know what to do.

I haven't encountered this situation either. When Minqing City encounters heavy rains, there are also floods, but at most the water is ankle-deep. No matter how high it is, it is in some special low-lying areas. I've never lived in that kind of place.

Lu Qiaolan seemed to have no experience in this either.

The man was caught by the police. A rough summary revealed that Huixiang had encountered flooding not just once or twice. He had encountered it once five years ago, so he had some experience.

"Hurry up and get to the rooftop." The man shook the key, "Take all the valuable things with you."

"Do you want to bring something to eat or drink?" a policeman asked.

"Hey, it's just a short while, what can I bring with me to eat and drink?" The man didn't agree, with a look of unlucky look on his face. He thought for a while and said, "You guys can help carry some things up. Let's carry them to the third floor."

He seemed to want to recover some losses. If the heavy rain had not flooded the roof, some things could still be preserved.

A few policemen rolled up their sleeves and helped without saying a word.

Another one is going to the police station to have a look.

After all, the police station is not far from here, so you can get there with a little effort now.

Lu Qiaolan's face was pale, and I probably looked ugly too.

This rain is not normal. The signal was cut off, which made me feel even worse.

I asked Lu Qiaolan to wait on the third floor and looked for an opportunity to grab the man.

"What kind of rainstorm were you talking about five years ago?" I asked.

The man was impatient and said, "It's just raining heavily. What's the difference? There are typhoons and heavy rains in the summer. Haven't you seen the TV news?"

There is news like this every summer, but it happened in Huixiang, so I had to pay attention.

"How's it going over there at Wailing Grain Ridge?" I asked directly.

Several police officers must have heard about me, and they all looked at me in a wrong way.

"What can I do?" The man still looked puzzled.

It seems that he doesn't know about Waifenling.

I'm not just anxious.

There's really not much that can be done at the moment.

The policeman who ran out did not come back, and no one came to the hotel to check on him.

Looking out from the hotel window, every house outside has lights on. It seems that everyone in Yinqihui Township has paid attention to this heavy rain.

I helped move some things to the third floor. From the window next to the stairs, I saw the scene outside.

There was lightning and thunder, and there was a heavy rain. Apart from rain, there was nothing else to see.

But I can feel the moving Yin Qi.

Something is moving.

Suddenly, I thought of something.

That old ghost, he died in the cave. He said that he was a young master from a wealthy family, and he said that it was his mother and family members who mourned the grave.

The bones in the cave...

My eyes widened.

The man called me dissatisfied: "Hey, if you don't want to help, don't stand in the way."

I couldn't care less about him, so I put the things in my hands on the ground and called Lu Qiaolan.

"I'm going to the police station. You stay here and don't run around. Hug the teddy bear." With the teddy bear protecting Lu Qiaolan, she should be safe.

Before Lu Qiaolan could say anything, I rushed downstairs.

There seemed to be a policeman chasing him from behind.

I ignored it. When I got to the first floor, I found that the water was up to my knees. I quickly took out my cell phone from my pants pocket and saw two plastic bags on the front desk, which seemed to contain snacks bought by the ladies at the front desk. I poured the things out, wrapped the phone in a plastic bag, and stuffed it into my jacket pocket.

I almost dripped out. There were calls from the police behind.

Without looking back, I yelled for him to go back and pushed the glass door with some difficulty.

Fortunately, this glass door is not a high-end product, it is not very heavy, and it has leaks all around. If it were a car door, I wouldn't be able to open it now.

As soon as the door opened, the rain poured in.

My face was covered with rainwater and my body was wet.

I couldn't see the road clearly now, so I could only move forward slowly along the sidewalk.

The rain obscured my vision, and I moved towards the police station with difficulty.

If I guessed correctly, they came here for the old ghost's bones.

I just hope that they can leave after taking back the bones of their own people. But if they have any other purpose...

Bang!

I felt myself hitting something, and the touch felt a bit like a person.

I opened my mouth to apologize, but the rainwater poured directly into my mouth.

In my blurred vision, I seemed to see many people.

The sound of crying could be heard faintly.

I was startled and stood there blankly.

The water rushed, lapping at my legs.

In the heavy rain, those people moved forward while wailing and crying.

I kind of want to quit, but isn't my purpose just to find them? Speaking of which, the old ghost's self-introduction was vague and he didn't say his name. It's not easy for me to find a ghost to strike up a conversation with.

I took a deep breath and wiped the water from my face.

"Hey! Why are you running around!"

There was a sharp pain in my shoulder and I was pulled back.

It's the policeman I saw in the hotel just now.

Lightning lit up the sky.

Just as he was about to scold me, his eyes were drawn to the front, and his eyes widened even in the heavy rain.

I also saw clearly the appearance of those ghosts in that flash of lightning.

Hundreds of ghosts were marching forward without any hindrance through the heavy rain and stagnant water, and every one of them looked like they were crying.

After the lightning, the surroundings darkened again, and the ghost figures blended into the darkness and heavy rain.

The policeman held my hand hard and it was still shaking.

"They are going to the police station to look for those bones!" I had no choice but to shout to him.

"Then what are you waiting for!" The policeman was more excited than me for a moment and was about to rush to the police station. Maybe thinking of the scene he just saw, his mind became clearer and he returned to normal thinking.

He turned to look at me and stammered: "They are really...there are really..."

I nodded vigorously.

The woman's cry, which I hadn't heard clearly for a while, was hidden by the heavy rain, and it suddenly seemed to hit my heart.

Accompanied by the blood-sobbing cry: "My son——"

Good night everyone~
