Chapter 27: A Lifeline(1/2)
"What, what's going on?" Zhao Mingrui looked at Li Fugui blankly.
Li Tiandou's innocent smile became even more sinister in Zhao Mingrui's eyes.
The wrinkles on the old man's face were piled up together, and he sighed: "Didn't I tell you to leave? Why didn't you obey?"
As a policeman who has been working as a policeman for many years, Zhao Mingrui's first reaction when he heard this was to draw his pistol and point it at Li Fugui. It seemed that he, Su Yu and others were in trouble.
Li Fugui's face darkened when he saw the gun in his hand, and he stared at Zhao Mingrui intently.
The more Zhao Mingrui looked at it, the more scary he felt, and now that he looked carefully, this face didn't seem to be the one who gave him the key.
Only then did he belatedly remember Su Yu's words, that ghosts have the ability to create hallucinations.
"If we leave, we won't have this trouble anymore," Li Fugui continued.
Zhao Mingrui was horrified, but he still said forcefully: "If I leave, I will be sorry for those who died, and I will be sorry for my identity!"
Li Fugui shook his head and said nothing more, just walked towards him expressionlessly.
Zhao Mingrui put his hand in his pocket. Although he held the pistol in his hand, he was in a dilemma. He could not shoot now, whether it was a human or a ghost.
If he were a human being, he might regret it for the rest of his life if he fired this gun. If he was a ghost, it might be useless and just make a sound.
The talisman given by Su Yu has become his only support now. He can tell whether he is a human or a ghost.
But now he only had a talisman in his pocket, and he glanced at the stove expectantly. The flames were raging, and the small cloth bag had turned into heat, adding to the temperature in the room. Zhao Mingrui wanted to slap himself in the face.
Zhao Mingrui clutched the remaining talisman tightly, and his palms were all sweaty. The current situation did not allow him to contact Su Yu, so he had to rely on himself to gain an opportunity.
If he really had to wait until he got closer, it would be a question of whether he could take out the talisman or not. Zhao Mingrui stabilized his mind, stepped forward diagonally, and found the opportunity to suddenly stretch out the hand holding the talisman.
The talisman was firmly attached to Li Fugui's forehead.
As for why it’s the forehead, that’s how it’s shown on TV.
Fortunately, after being a policeman for so long, his skills were not compromised. Zhao Mingrui retreated and distanced himself from the old man again.
Li Fugui was a little stunned. Counterfeit goods are prevalent these days, how many genuine talismans can there be?
Li Fugui picked up the talisman with his hands with a slight disdain, and said: "Do you believe in the charlatans? How many of them are really capable?"
But the moment his hand touched the talisman, Li Fugui's eyes widened in horror.
Immediately afterwards, the whole body fell straight down as if it was electrified.
A thin piece of talisman paper seemed to weigh more than a thousand pounds at this moment. Li Fugui struggled but could not get up.
"It's done! It's so fucking awesome!" Zhao Mingrui was overjoyed.
"Hiss!" After being overjoyed, a sharp pain suddenly came from his waist. Zhao Mingrui looked down.
At some point, Li Tiandou approached from behind.
He was hugging his waist tightly, and his two cold little hands felt chilly through his coat.
Feeling the gradually increasing intensity, Zhao Mingrui felt that it was starting to become difficult to breathe.
"Let go of my grandpa! Let go of my grandpa!" The eardrum-piercing shouts made Zhao Mingrui feel a little dazed.
Didn't it mean that ghosts can't touch people? How could this real feeling be an illusion? And even if it is a ghost, its power is too great!
Zhao Mingrui couldn't help but feel sad, and a large amount of sweat fell from his forehead.
But he didn't see Li Tiandou's eyes getting redder and redder.
If Su Yu had been present, he would have definitely seen that this was a sign that he would turn into a fierce ghost.
Zhao Mingrui felt his energy and blood rising, stars began to appear in front of his eyes, and there was a constant buzzing in his ears.
Feeling the strong smell of blood in his mouth, Zhao Mingrui took two difficult steps forward before being unable to walk.
I couldn't exert any strength from my whole body.
Are you going to die? Zhao Mingrui's vision gradually dimmed.
"No, no, Dou'er!" Li Fugui's thin and weak voice came out.
"Grandpa!" Li Tiandou relaxed his grip when he heard Li Fugui's voice and shouted in surprise.
Zhao Mingrui spurted blood from his mouth and tried his best to break free from Li Tiandou's arms.
Without caring to check his injuries, Zhao Mingrui raised his gun and shot.
The two bullets easily penetrated Li Tiandou's clothes.
Li Tiandou ran to the side and called Li Fugui anxiously as if there was nothing there, but he did not dare to get too close.
His intuition told him that he would be controlled by the talisman even if he got close to it.
Zhao Mingrui seized the opportunity and took a brief aim and shot Li Tiandou in the head. He saw that the flesh was turned out, no blood flowed out, and there were only holes.
Li Tiandou twisted his neck stiffly, and his eyes glowed red again.
"Take off the talisman!" Li Tiandou screamed.
After saying that, he rushed towards Zhao Mingrui again.
Having just suffered at his hands, Zhao Mingrui dared to attack him, but the doors and windows were all on the opposite side.
After thinking for a moment, Zhao Mingrui's heart skipped a beat, and he stepped on the stove and was about to jump over and run away.
Although no one who races ghosts in the movie ends up well, there is no better way at this time.
Li Tiandou reacted faster and stretched out an iron arm comparable to Astro Boy's and crossed it.
The sharp black nails instantly pierced his clothes, leaving a solid palm mark on it.
The world was spinning for a while, and the blood was surging.
Zhao Mingrui felt as if his chest was as tight as a stone. Just as he was about to retreat, he saw Li Tiandou flying out of the air one step ahead of him and falling beside the bed.
What's going on? Zhao Mingrui was a little confused.
"Bang!" Something fell to the ground from the broken pocket on his chest.
Alert?
Zhao Mingrui picked it up and wiped it gently.
Li Tiandou's chest was filled with white smoke as he stared at the warning in horror.
Could it be that the police knocked him away?
Zhao Mingrui seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw and approached Li Tiandou with a police gun.
The policeman shone brightly in the light.
Even if Li Tiandou is a ghost, he is still a child. His face is full of helplessness. He looks at his grandfather anxiously and is afraid of the power of the police.
Looking reluctantly at Li Fugui lying on the ground, Li Tiandou roared unwillingly and ran out of the door, diving into the vast darkness.
Zhao Mingrui took a deep breath and called Su Yu immediately.
But there are busy signals on the phone.
I'm familiar with this situation. It was the same in the unfinished building. The phone could be used as a flashlight, but the quality of the photos was not up to par.
He had no choice but to edit a message and send it out. There might be a signal when he got outside. He believed that Su Yu would pay attention to this message as soon as possible.
"I have something going on here, come quickly!"
After sending the message, Zhao Mingrui took a flashlight and chased him out.
Anyway, there is no better way at the moment, and I can't let him go. If this fishing fails, I'm afraid I won't have such an opportunity again.
Zhao Mingrui thought that although he was alone and weak, as long as he could firmly locate the ghost and contact Su Yu, he would be fine.
Enduring the pain in his ribs, Zhao Mingrui desperately chased the figure in front of him.
Li Fugui was the only one left in the house lying on the ground.
Soon after, the sound of footsteps was heard.
Su Yu knelt down and pulled open the talisman.
"Where did he go?" Su Yu asked coldly.
Li Fugui immediately wanted to get up when he saw the talisman being taken away.
A golden finger pressed on his forehead, giving him no chance to resist.
Li Fugui screamed in pain and lay back down.
A physical ghost?
Su Yu was surprised. Unlike the body temporarily obtained through possession, this body was the ghost itself!
Zhao Mingrui on the other side was walking slower and slower, panting and holding on to the wall.
Zhao Mingrui smiled bitterly and ran for who knows how far but still lost track of him.
The speed of ghosts is so fast, I really don't know how Su Yu catches ghosts on weekdays.
Moreover, I was only focused on chasing before and didn't even pay attention to where I was running to.
