After that mournful cry, there was a rumble of thunder.

The thunder thundered together, and this was the only sound left in the world.

I felt like I had tinnitus. In addition to the thunder, I also heard a buzzing sound coming from my head. I couldn't help but feel dizzy and almost fell into the water.

The policeman didn't fare much better. He directly covered his ears, shook his body a few times, and finally stabilized his body.

No one knew how much time had passed before a huge bolt of lightning lit up the entire sky, the thunder stopped, and Huixiang fell into darkness.

I feel the rain lessening. Looking up, the dark clouds above my head are no longer so heavy. However, the lights in the surrounding buildings were gone, and Huixiang seemed to be in a blackout.

The sky seems to be slowly clearing up, and the water has not receded, but the heavy rain has stopped and is no longer painful, and the situation has improved.

The policeman opened his mouth and said something, but all I heard was the buzzer. The policeman seemed to be in the same situation, picking his ears and opening and closing his mouth.

I gestured to him and he nodded, looking slightly flustered.

We walked through the water to the police station. I couldn't even hear the sound of water, I could only feel the water lapping at my legs, hindering my progress.

I have seen the police station door and the flickering flashlight light inside the police station.

I still couldn't hear the sound. When I entered the police station, I saw the police inside shouting something at the top of their lungs. The scene was ridiculous. There was chaos here, but some people noticed me and the policeman who had just come in.

Speaking of losing hearing and speaking voices, humans still have ways to communicate.

After finally typing on the phone and explaining the situation, the police in the police station became busy in a panic.

The information I provided was nothing more than the bones. Those ghosts were looking for the corpses of their loved ones, but this battle was really big.

It's so chaotic now. I followed the police to go to the forensic department to check it out, but no one thought to stop me.

The forensic department was arranged in the basement by the Huixiang police station.

Because of the power outage, it was a bit difficult to go downstairs.

The forensic doctors who worked overtime all night looked very calm. When they met someone, they had some emotional expressions and subconsciously opened their mouths and said something.

"...the bones are left, otherwise this..." He stopped mid-sentence.

"Hey, I can hear it!" Someone patted their ears.

"Yes, I can hear it. By the way, what are you doing here? The corpses that were sent before are all bones. They have been there for many years. Even if the power goes out, it will not affect it." The forensic doctor just now was calm. It seemed that he had already known that his hearing was very difficult. It's almost possible to recover.

Only then did the police get down to business.

While they were discussing the situation, my eyes moved to the small door on the side.

I didn't know what that room was for, but I saw a young man in his teens or 20s standing there. His attire was not modern. I could tell right away that he was a ghost.

He smiled at me and waved to me.

I hesitated for a while and then walked over.

As I walked past, I still held the amulet hanging on my chest. I didn't even walk up to him. He turned and entered the room, and I stopped at the door.

When I arrived at the door of this room, I was stunned.

From the light of the flashlights outside, I saw several beds of corpses in the room. They were all white bones and had no heads.

The young ghost was standing next to a bed, looking down at the headless corpse on the bed with mixed emotions.

Judging from the size of the ghost and the bones, they should belong to the same person, and the bones belong to the young ghost.

I thought of something and blurted out: "Are you from that village..."

The young ghost turned to look at me and nodded to me, "That's me. Thank you so much. Otherwise, I don't know when I will see the light of day again."

"What about the heavy rain? Your family members..." I asked tangledly.

"They knew I was liberated, so they came to pick me up. It's time for me to go back." The young ghost sighed, "I was wild and careless in my life, and I only followed my heart. I died there before I was weak. In the hands of a female ghost, I have not been able to survive for so many years, and my family has been harmed. Now, it’s time to go back and fulfill my responsibilities.”

I said nothing.

According to this ghost, the stories he told me last time were not the whole story.

The young ghost said: "I don't have much time. If you didn't come, I wouldn't have been able to do anything. But it seems that God is on your side."

My heart skipped a beat. He seems completely unaware that God has gone crazy, which side it is on, and it may not be a good thing.

But the young ghost has already continued: "This Huixiang is not my ancestral home. My ancestor was sent to Huixiang by the imperial court at that time to serve as a parent official. Before he came, Huixiang was just a wilderness, and this official position came at a very good time. It's complicated. I used to be rebellious and didn't listen to the old stories from my elders. You may be able to find out the origin of Huixiang from some local chronicles of Huixiang. After my ancestors became officials in Huixiang, my family moved there little by little. This has become the largest family here, and can also be said to be the emperor of the country. By my generation, my family has taken root in Huixiang and integrated with it. "

The young ghost said this and smiled, "At that time, my ancestors were enshrined in the Chenghuang Temple in Huixiang, and there were many longevity tablets of our ancestors. Times have changed, and those things are gone now. When the tragedy first happened, That is, when I was killed by a ghost, some elders in my family said that things were going to change for you..."

His voice became ethereal.

I heard the sound of the earth shaking in the distance.

The young ghost's expression changed, and his figure suddenly became distorted.

My eyes widened and I saw the ghost being twisted into pieces in front of me and dissipated in the room.

"Master!"

"Great God!"

I came back to my senses and turned around to see several trembling Huixiang policemen. Their expressions are really not worthy of the uniforms they wear, but I now know that this is the local custom, and their job - fighting crime - has been completed impeccably.

"What happened just now?"

"earthquake?"

Compared with the police in Huixiang, the two policemen transferred from other places didn't care much about me.

I thought about the earthquake just now and the strange disappearance of the ghost, and I had a bad feeling in my heart.

But now, I really can't make any difference on my own.

It wasn't until dawn, when the water receded and government departments stepped up their work, that I heard the news.

Weeping Cemetery collapsed.

The entire mountain collapsed, almost torn apart.

The strange thing is that the villages under Wailing Ridge and nearby places are intact, and only Wailing Ridge has been destroyed.

The rescue team investigating at the scene felt a little baffled. In the photos sent back, the mountain looked like plasticine that had been crushed by someone's fingers!
