I'm catching tricks in the Hong Kong variety show world

In addition, because it is at the entrance of an alley, the first floors of the private buildings on both sides are basically rented out. There are all rolling shutter doors with various signboards and slogans inlaid on the outside.

"Zhang Yanhua Dermatology Specialist, specializes in: uremia, acupuncture, pregnancy test, electrotherapy..."

"Liu Hua breakfast shop, fried dough sticks, tofu and wontons..."

Su Hao raised his head and glanced above. Under the flashlight, he found that the windows on the second and third floors of the private building were either equipped with a thick layer of anti-theft windows to prevent theft, or they were directly nailed with wood. Leave a very small vent.

The walls were originally white, but many places have been smoked black, and the iron bars on some security windows have also been corroded and rusty.

Su Hao immediately became suspicious. It was said that this slum area was built during the demolition of the Kowloon Walled City. From 1993 to 2008, it only had a history of 15 years.

It seems that this scene should not be seen now.

"Are any of you born locally in Kowloon Walled City?"

Su Hao asked the following police officers who were responsible for the search for advice.

One of the middle-aged police officers in his thirties took the initiative to come to Su Hao's side.

"I grew up near the Kowloon Walled City. If you have anything to ask, just ask me."

Su Hao handed the other party a cigarette and pointed at the buildings along the way and said, "All the slums here are only 15 years old. Why do they look nothing like them to me?"

The middle-aged policeman smiled and said, "You are too young, so you probably don't understand what happened in the Kowloon Walled City back then. Who said that the slum area was just outside the Kowloon Walled City?"

Su Hao looked surprised.

This was very useful to the other party. After all, Su Hao was nominally the temporary commander of their group, and other policemen nearby also put aside their search work to listen nearby.

He continued to explain: "I asked my father back then. He was also a native of Kowloon City. The Kowloon Walled City at that time was called a city of sin. Many gangsters, dealers and murderers, as well as stowaways from the north, hid there. Inside, no one from the police dared to enter, and they couldn’t get out once they entered, and the local government didn’t care, so this place became an enclave outside the legal system of Hong Kong Island.”

"It is said that this is what the newspapers said. This place has a total area of ​​less than 2.6 square meters, but it has a population of nearly 4 people. It is almost crowded. I don't know how they got here."

"As for this slum area, our current location is actually within the Kowloon Walled City. How to relocate these 4 people became a problem at that time. In addition to building a large number of low-rent houses and slum areas in the surrounding area, there are also many buildings inside the Kowloon Walled City. They were demolished piece by piece.”

"Our current location is indeed a corner of the former Kowloon Walled City. However, the security here is relatively good, and the population density is not as scary as inside. It has been temporarily retained by the government. It is said that it will be demolished soon."

After the other party finished explaining, Su Hao suddenly realized.

So, the buildings in this area might actually be 50 years old.

And was the story about the 'ghost mother' in Kowloon Walled City that he heard in his previous life true?

The body he currently occupies has only inherited part of the other party's memory.

Chapter 39 Dentist Clinic

"Everyone, search slowly, don't make too much noise, and take your time."

Su Hao asked others to continue working, and he continued walking inside while thinking, if the evil spirit inside was the ghost mother, it was not just a zombie.

Instead, they are zombies that still retain part of their human consciousness.

The zombie in people's mouth usually refers to a general term. If it is subdivided, it can be divided into walking zombies, zombies and zombies.

The zombies are completely devoid of intelligence and can only act on instinct.

The zombies who are being jumped around with the yellow talisman attached to them are the walking corpses.

Zombies are bitten by zombies and are poisoned by corpse poison, which leads to corpse transformation. During the corpse transformation process, the intelligence is not completely destroyed, so zombies have intelligence.

But this IQ is not much.

Zombies are different. They still retain a certain amount of intelligence, but no one knows how much.

In other words, not all moving corpses qualify to be called 'zombie'.

Even above the zombies, there are some powerful beings, but I won’t describe them one by one here.

After entering the Kowloon Walled City for more than ten meters, the intersection in the middle became narrower and narrower. Some houses had an oilcloth pulled over the door and a wooden frame was used to top it up to form a simple shack. Coal stoves and chairs made the already narrow intersection even more cramped.

In addition to the trash cans that appear from time to time, old bicycles discarded against the wall, old cardboard boxes piled up without being picked up, etc., the narrowest place can only accommodate two adults walking side by side.

This group of people had to wait for the oil drums to be delivered from outside, so they kept walking slowly.

About ten minutes later, after asking for their location on the walkie-talkie, a stormtrooper ran in from the passage at the intersection.

He directly put the oil drum on his shoulders and caught up with Su Hao and his group.

"Fortunately, you didn't go far, Sir Su. I'll put the things you want here."

The other party put the oil drum on the ground with relief, winked at the other two companions who were spreading lime, and someone else said: "Sir Su, we won't follow. Just leave the lime here for your people to continue spreading it." Bar."

As they walked further inside, they found that the surroundings were silent. Only the sound of pushing the door or pulling the window could be heard from time to time. The sound spread far and wide in the empty night.

Very harsh and eye-catching.

Thinking about the tragedy that happened inside, coupled with the dark light all around, even the temperature inside has dropped a lot.

The stormtrooper who just ran in carrying a gasoline barrel has the most say.

I was still sweating a little when I ran in, but when I got here, I felt a chill all over my body, and the hot sweat turned into cold sweat.

They had already made plans to dodge people. Although the stormtroopers were brave, they were only for criminals, and the ones inside might not be human at all.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work."

This was the first time that Su Hao heard someone call him Su Sir. Among the trembling people, the calm and composed Su Hao, even though he was young, impressed them all with his calm courage and the temporary command title he was given. Stormtroopers cannot afford to look down upon him.

Su Hao temporarily divided the work again.

Two bags of lime, only a small part of one bag was spilled, and the next step was to continue, which required two people to be responsible.

The oil drum weighs at least 30 kilograms, and a person is assigned to carry it.

Next, there were two ordinary police officers left empty-handed.

They continued to inspect the doors, windows, portals, etc. on both sides of the passage to see if there were any outsiders sneaking in. As for the local residents, I believe they know more about the tragedies that have happened during the Bon Festival in recent years than the outsiders, and they have moved out long ago without anyone urging them. gone.

"Hey, I'm Lao Ma. I'm working with the Feng Dao chief. We just found a local resident sneaking in to burn incense. We're sending two people to escort him out. Please pay attention to the brothers at the door to receive him."

"receive."

While Lao Ma's walkie-talkie was still on, another burst of quarrels came from inside.

"I just came back to offer my dad a stick of incense and some tributes. It's July [-]th after midnight. Don't you policemen have parents? Do you still have humanity?"

"You can go outside to worship, or even on the roadside. It's dangerous here, so get out quickly."

"But my father was born here and died here. If he didn't come here to make offerings, would he be able to find his way back?"

"Sir, we are also thinking about your safety. Please cooperate with our work. The tributes will be placed here and we will not take them. Thank you."

clack clack...

There was signal interference from Lao Ma's walkie-talkie. Su Hao simply turned off the walkie-talkie and the surrounding area became quiet again.

Several police officers on Su Hao's side couldn't help but glance at each other. They always felt that in this strange, silent and dark environment, words like 'worship', 'tribute', 'Bon Lan Festival', 'ancestors', etc. The combination makes people feel terrified.

click.

Su Hao lit another cigarette for himself.

The sound of lighters dispelled the panic in everyone's hearts.

"The brothers spreading lime will continue, and the brothers resisting the gasoline barrels will have to work harder. Not far ahead is the dentist's office. I guess the other two groups are here for the same purpose. We can meet there."

"If you feel nervous, you can light a cigarette to relax, or eat a piece of chocolate, but don't stop."

It is said that crowds embolden people. Perhaps Su Hao's calm and composed action of lighting up his cigarette gave everyone a sense of confidence, and their pace obviously accelerated.

The passage inside was winding, and after turning another corner, the passage in front of everyone became even tighter.

The narrowest areas are only large enough for two adults to walk side by side.

The bright light of the flashlight shines on the exterior walls of houses on the roadside, and from time to time you can see warnings such as "No stickers," "No throwing at high altitudes," and "No littering."

I don't know if it was good luck or bad luck, but they didn't meet a single living person along the way.

Unknowingly, three groups of people gradually gathered towards the central dental clinic.

Finally, after several communications on the walkie-talkie, the three groups of people arrived at the dental clinic almost at the same time. The dozen or so ordinary policemen who were following them looked relaxed and visibly breathed a sigh of relief when they saw a group of their own people emerging.

Su Hao's eyes fell on the shop sign in front of him which read 'He Style Dental Clinic'. There were also several pairs of braces made of unknown materials thrown on the window sill at the door of the shop.

Su Hao glanced at Uncle Feng and found that he was looking at him.

Probably waiting for him to make up his mind.

Su Hao asked in the crowd, "Which one of you brought a caliper?"

"I have a belt."

"Okay, open the door to the dentist's office. The others will rest outside and be careful."

After arranging an escape route, Su Hao opened the rolling shutter door outside the clinic and shined several flashlights in unison, giving an unobstructed view of the interior of the small clinic.

The interior of the clinic is composed of two rooms, one in front and one in the back. The front is the facade and operating room. There is a desk behind the window at the door. There is a layer of glass on the desk, and an old newspaper is under the glass.

In the middle of the front room stands a recliner that can be raised and lowered.

You don’t need to look at it to know that this is used for tooth extraction surgery. The patient sits on it, then raises the seat, and then fixes the person. The patient can lie on it, and there is a surgical lampshade hanging on the wooden pole next to it. .

This is a small and very simple operating room with an area of ​​less than eight square meters.

The back room is a warehouse and temporary lounge. There is a double bed made of iron frames, and there is a vertical wardrobe in the end, which is gone.

The area of ​​this warehouse is less than 5 square meters.

It can be seen that Dr. He, the unlicensed dentist at that time, lived a very poor life as rumored in old newspapers.

Chapter 40 The shocking secret behind the cocoon and silk removal

"Everyone will search the cabinet drawers again to see if they can find any clues."

The few policemen from the Miscellaneous Affairs Section who followed were quite considerate to Su Hao, and each took their flashlights and started searching inside.

There was a murder here 50 years ago. The police at that time must have searched it inside and out. Su Hao didn't have high hopes for finding any valuable clues.

He pulled Uncle Feng aside and asked in a low voice: "Uncle Feng, I wonder if you can deal with zombies?"

Uncle Feng's expression changed, and his expression became solemn, "Do you think it's a zombie too?"

Su Hao nodded, "The good news is, I have pulled out the cocoon and stripped the threads, put together the clues I know, and already know what is hiding in the Kowloon Walled City these years. The bad news is, I know some I have spells, but they are far less proficient than Uncle Feng, so I can’t help much when dealing with zombies.”

"And the people outside can't help much. I'll let them out in advance to avoid unnecessary casualties. But I brought a bottle of gasoline in, which may be needed later."

Uncle Feng nodded, opened the cloth bag he carried with him, and took out a stack of charms, a small bag of cinnabar, and a simple round mirror.

There is a cloth bag on the outside of this round mirror, which looks very precious.

"If it's an ordinary zombie, my charm can deal with it. I only need to stick it on the zombie's forehead to restrict its movement. But I have observed the corpses that had accidents before. After this zombie killed someone, it only took the heart part of the person to eat. , is no longer a simple zombie."

"And along the way, I discovered that the Kowloon Walled City is extremely dark. It might be a rare place to raise corpses."

Uncle Feng frowned deeper and deeper as he spoke, "If I could use the moonlight, my round mirror could also restrain zombies, but the surrounding area is blocked by private buildings. It's hard to see the sun all year round. Where can I see it?" The moonlight came?"

Su Hao thought of the general terrain he had just observed, and felt a sense of hope in his heart, "What if it's the top of the building?"

"It's no problem if it's on the top of the building. The question is, will the zombies come to the top of the building?"

Su Hao calmly looked at Huang Huo Tu next to him, "Yes, provided someone leads it up."

Uncle Feng thought that Su Hao had a plan in mind, and his expression softened a little, "Okay, as long as you can lead it to the top of the building, my round mirror can use the moonlight to restrain this zombie."

Huang Huotu next to him was already infected by the tense atmosphere at the scene and did not dare to breathe. In addition, Su Hao's eyes glanced at him from time to time, which gave him a very bad premonition.

"Ah Hao, we searched and found these things."

Officer Ma led other officers from the miscellaneous affairs department out and handed him two yellowed pieces of paper.

The first piece of paper also had a yellowish, rancid smell, and it was pressed under the glass of the operating room desk. That was why it was preserved.

There is a handwritten handwriting on it, which is quite clear.

"Doctor He."

"The dentures customized in your store a few days ago are of high quality. Our partners at the senior center said they looked like real teeth growing back."

"I brought some friends here today to get dentures, but unfortunately your store is not open."

"When you see this note, please call the senior center to inform me. I will definitely visit you another day."
