When the flames caused by the burning police car gradually extinguished, Han Zhen, who was standing in the distance, stepped closer to the burning wreckage.

When he got closer, a pungent smell of burning engine oil and gasoline mixed with residual black smoke hit his face. Han Zhen pinched his nose with one hand and waved his other hand vigorously in front of him to disperse a small part of the smoke.

But the corners of his eyes were still so bright that tears flowed out.

Resisting the discomfort, he walked through the large scorched land that was scorched by the flames, walked quickly to the car body that had been burned to only the metal frame, and bent down to check the situation in the cab.

As expected by Han Zhen, through the blackened metal shell, the cab of the police car was empty. There were no carbonized mummies, nor were any residues expected after burning human tissue.

"Did you really escape?" Han Zhen said to himself, but this result was also what he expected. The police car suddenly stopped suddenly while driving at high speed, and it didn't look like an accident.

The question he was thinking about now was how the other party escaped from the speeding police car, and why he brought him here and then escaped by himself.

Han Zhen's initial guess was that the mysterious police officer Liu should have been able to protect himself from the thick smoke and flames caused by the car's self-destruction, and then escaped with the black smoke blocking Han Zhen's sight for more than ten minutes.

However, this idea was quickly rejected by him, because there was endless wilderness all around, and even if the opponent could run a certain distance under the cover of thick smoke, it would not be possible for him to disappear so completely.

The second guess is the earth-escape technique in Qimen Dunjia. Han Zhen is not proficient in Qimen Dunjia, but he vaguely remembers hearing an old monk say that this kind of magic is not as good as described in myths and stories.

It is a magical skill. If you want to escape from earth, the softness of the sandy ground is very high. If you don't happen to encounter a desert-like terrain, the person who performs this method must loosen a large area of ​​​​the land around the entry point in advance.

.

When Han Zhen heard this saying when he was a child, he complained about it. Could it be that those spiritual practitioners who seemed to be experts in Taoism, who stepped on the ground, kneaded and recited mantras and then disappeared, actually had to endure the same hardships as migrant workers one day in advance haha

They carried shovels and plowed the land around the battlefield.

The old monk's answer was: Practitioners like us generally don't do these strenuous tasks ourselves. There will be specialized people to help with these tedious preparations.

The young man Han Zhen continued to ask innocently: Old man, why didn't you see someone specializing in doing the hard work for you when you were slaying demons?

The old monk gave Han Zhen a meaningful look,

He stopped answering.

Closer to home, Han Zhen used the burned remains of the police car as the center and explored all the surrounding land within a certain range with his feet, but found no unusual softness. It seemed that Officer Liu most likely did not rely on Lao Shizi Qi Men Dun Jia.

Escaped.

Apart from this, Han Zhen could no longer think of any other method the other party used to escape.

However, he couldn't think of a way for the other party to escape, and Han Zhen didn't care much. In his opinion, there was a more important problem in front of him, that is, he had to leave here as soon as possible.

While he was chasing the police car and waiting for the flames to extinguish, the surrounding light became increasingly dimmer, and the originally red sky gradually turned into a deep purple. Although there was still no sun in the sky

, but Han Zhen can tell that it should be dark soon.

It was not a wise move to spend the night in this endless wilderness. Thinking this in his mind, Han Zhen walked in the direction of the original police car.

…

In the Third People's Hospital of City Z, Chu Feng was still wearing the damaged long black windbreaker, carrying a huge bulging backpack in his left hand, and walked staggeringly towards the abandoned building in the corner of the hospital.

.

In order to prepare the contents of the backpack, Chu Feng spent most of the afternoon. In addition, since it was winter, the sky had darkened, and occasionally one or two stars could be seen twinkling in the dark blue sky.

All the way along the path, he walked through the open space covered with weeds in front of the abandoned building. The traces left by the police car running over the weeds last night were still there. Chu Feng came to the building again, which looked slightly shabby on the outside, but had nothing unusual about it.

before the gate.

The bizarre encounter in the building last night went through Chu Feng's mind quickly. At this time, in the increasingly dark environment, he stood quietly under the steps in front of the building gate, staring straight at

Looking at the darkness behind the door.

Taking a deep breath, he did not rush into the building. Instead, he put down the satchel in his hand in front of the door and began to bend down to pick out items one by one.

A strong flashlight, a mining helmet with a searchlight, four or five new spare batteries...

Obviously this was to prevent the lighting equipment from malfunctioning like last night. Because he was worried that the electric lighting would be affected by some mysterious force and fail, he also specially brought a windproof lighter and dozens of candles.

Immediately afterwards, he took out items for self-defense one by one from his backpack.

Police electric batons, tactical daggers, pull-out sticks... as well as a short mahogany sword and a water gun filled with black dog blood...

Chu Feng wasn't sure whether the last two items would come in handy, but thinking of his experience of escaping with blood from the tip of his tongue last night, he still found these two items.

After that, there is a portable electric meter, a boxy instrument for detecting magnetic fields, a brass compass, and several outdoor live broadcast cameras that are easy to hang on the body.

Finally, he took out a handful of odds and ends from a small bag on the side of his backpack, including several crumpled talisman papers, a silver cross, and a jade statue of Guanyin tied with a red string.

Several copper coins and a small gossip plaque carved from wood...

To put it simply, Chu Feng's full backpack can be said to be a combination of ancient and modern times, Chinese style and Western style, a combination of the mystical side and the scientific side, capable of both offense and defense, and suitable for both advance and retreat.

It took Chu Feng more than half an hour to hang dozens of groceries, large and small, all over his body. At this time, he was wearing a miner's hat, a portable detector, a mahogany sword on his waist, and a cross around his neck.

There is a posture of a general fully armed and going into battle.

After checking the several cameras hanging on his body again, Chu Feng found that they were all functioning normally. Chu Feng no longer hesitated and walked toward the dark building door ahead.

Slowly stepping up the stone steps in front of the building, Chu Feng held a flashlight in one hand for lighting and the unknown detector in the other hand and entered the interior of the inpatient building again.

It was still the familiar empty hall, and the walls had returned to their milky white and uneven appearance, standing quietly all around.

Chu Feng first tried calling Fang Qin's name twice, but as expected, he didn't get any response. Then, he walked to the center of the hall, held the flashlight under his arm, and started playing with the Sifang instrument.

After just tens of seconds, the instrument made two clear beep sounds. Chu Feng, who was quietly waiting for the results, stared at the instrument panel for a while, then frowned slightly and muttered: "The magnetic field is normal?"

Putting the instrument aside temporarily, Chu Feng walked towards the west wall of the hall. After approaching the wall, he first took out the mahogany sword from his waist and poked it at the wall a few times, then took off the water gun hanging on the side of his thigh.

, with a "chi" sound, a shot of black dog blood was sprayed onto the wall.

The bright red blood slid down the rugged surface of the wallpaper and soon accumulated into a small puddle on the floor. However, the wall itself still stood there quietly.

Initial attempts were fruitless, Chu

Feng was not depressed. He quickly took out red candles from his pocket, placed them every few meters along the west wall of the hall, and lit them one by one.

Soon, the empty hall on the first floor was illuminated by flickering candlelight, and in the dead silence of the abandoned hospital building, there was a faint flicker of fire, as if it was some kind of evil and demonic cult ritual, and the atmosphere was mysterious.

But Chu Feng obviously didn't care about the surrounding atmosphere. After all, he didn't come for the candlelight dinner. After using various means to check that there was nothing unusual on the first floor, he walked towards the stairs leading to the second floor without stopping.

Stepping on the wooden stairs that had been in disrepair, there was a familiar creaking sound under her feet again. Unlike the cautious test when she first went upstairs, Chu Feng ran up to the second floor of the hospital in one go.

But he didn't notice that when he climbed up the stairs to the second floor, the testing instrument placed in the middle of the hall on the first floor suddenly made a series of rapid beeping sounds again. And he sprayed the black dog

On the bloody wall, the wallpaper that originally had a red mark due to the flow of blood began to change color quietly.

The bright red blood stains faded away bit by bit, and soon the wallpaper returned to its original slightly yellowish milky white appearance.

Immediately afterwards, a small pool of blood on the ground flowed upwards along the wall, and gradually disappeared behind the wallpaper, as if it had been absorbed by the wall.

Chu Feng, who followed the stairs to the second floor, was unaware of the changes in the lobby on the first floor. However, his nerves were still extremely tense at this time. The place where he was attacked by the strange black mist last time was also there.

It's the first room on the second floor.

At this time, he walked up the stairs, and the shabby wooden door of the strange room was quietly closed a few steps in front of him.

Chu Feng clearly remembered the way the wooden door was covered with scarlet threads extending from the wall. He also remembered clearly that the last time he kicked open the door, he saw the strange space inside the door.

What followed was the black mist. Chu Feng, who was caught off guard by the sudden attack, could not close the wooden door again, but at this time, the door in front of him was closed tightly.

Feeling uneasy in his heart, Chu Feng held the mahogany sword firmly in his right hand, and still held the flashlight flat with his left hand, approaching the wooden door step by step.

As the distance continued to get closer, Chu Feng's nerves became more tense. Inside his clothes, a drop of cold sweat slid down his chest. The coolness brought by the sweat made him shiver. In the quiet environment, he even

I can clearly hear my own violent heartbeat.

Shaking his head violently to clear his mind of all the random thoughts, he stepped forward and kicked the wooden door open without hesitation.

The imagined weird space and surprise attack did not appear. The wooden door turned back into the small and simple ward when we first entered it. The wooden storage shelves were clearly visible, and a metal iron frame hospital bed lay quietly across the room.

A corner of the room.

Taking a deep breath, Chu Feng didn't know whether to be happy or worried when facing the situation in front of him.

Thinking on the bright side, at least so far he has not found any clues of supernatural events, and thinking on the worst side, he is worried that this building will become an ordinary hospital building. If so,

If so, where should he go to find Fang Qin's whereabouts?

For him, the most important thing now is to search the entire building quickly and find Fang Qin as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Chu Feng stopped stopping and turned around and walked towards the other end of the corridor.

However, the moment he turned around, a figure quickly rushed out from behind the wall at the stairway behind him. This person held a stick-like object in both hands, quietly approached behind Chu Feng, and struck out with a stick without hesitation.
