"It's over there, less than two kilometers from here!" Li Tenglong pointed in one direction and said.
I quickly walked out of the Lion King Temple and looked in the direction Li Tenglong pointed. Not far away, there was indeed an abandoned factory, the same one I saw before.
"Let's go and have a look!"
I took the lead and walked towards the factory. Huzi caught up and asked, "Master, the rumors are not credible, right?"
"Just take a look and you'll find out!" I said.
Soon, we arrived at the factory. This factory is very large, covering an area of several hundred acres. It must have had a glorious past, but today it is somewhat deserted and uninhabited.
After walking in, we discovered that the factory was still having normal power supply, and the door was locked tightly. We wanted to climb over, but suddenly we were approached by a person who ran out of the guard room.
"Ghost!"
The fat man screamed in fright at the sudden rush of people, and his whole body bounced like a yo-yo.
At first glance, we were all startled, thinking we had seen a ghost in the daytime, because the man running out was a bit scary. After a closer look, we discovered that the man was an old man who was nearly seventy years old.
It's just that the old man looked a little miserable. Nearly half of his face was burned, leaving ugly scars. So when he walked out of the guard room, we thought we had seen a ghost.
But the other half of his face is still normal.
As soon as the old man came out, he looked at us impatiently, waved his hand and said directly to drive us away, "Visits are not allowed here, please leave immediately!"
"Isn't this factory abandoned? Why are there still guards?" Huzi said in surprise.
"How do you talk?" The uncle glared at Huzi and said angrily. It was obvious that Huzi's words angered him.
I walked up quickly and said with a smile, "Uncle, we want to go in and have a look, just take a walk around and leave."
The old man was indeed not accommodating at all, "Hurry up and leave, I told you that you are not allowed to visit here."
"Uncle, please be accommodating, can you think of just ten minutes?" I continued to say nice things to the uncle.
I never thought that the old man would not be able to get in, "If you don't leave, I will call the police!"
I suddenly felt helpless, and just as I was about to turn around and leave, the fat man walked up with a smile, holding a box of Chinese medicine in his hand. He opened it and skillfully popped one out of it, and handed it to the old man through the door.
"Uncle, my guy can't speak, so you always smoke a cigarette to calm down!"
When the old man saw it was soft Chinese, his eyes suddenly lit up. He took it and lit it with a hum. The fat man chuckled and took one himself and started smoking.
Suddenly, a burst of smoke filled the air.
The old man looked like he was an old smoker. After two puffs, half of the whole cigarette was gone. An expression of satisfaction suddenly appeared on the old man's face. Looking at the soft Chinese in his hand, a trace of nostalgia flashed in his eyes.
"Young men, are you Internet celebrities?" the old man asked.
We were stunned for a moment at the same time. Seeing our surprised expressions, the old man thought he had guessed it right and snorted lightly.
"I have seen young people like you a lot. You hold your mobile phone all day long and want to get something for nothing. You come here every now and then. You don't even know how high the sky is."
"Why, do people come here often?" the fat man asked curiously.
"No, just like you, there are supernatural shows, horror anchors, and everything else, and you don't even look at where this place is. It's a life-threatening situation." The old man said with a look of disdain.
We looked at each other with solemn looks in our eyes. We could tell from the old man's words that this factory was not clean.
Seeing that the rest of us were silent, the old man looked at the fat man seriously and said, "Little fat man, it's not that I won't let you in. I'm afraid that you will lose your life like the people before, and you will be in trouble again. Let me tell you,
This factory is very evil, so don’t take it seriously."
We looked at each other and became more and more curious. The fat man had a clear mind and quickly put the whole package of soft Chinese that he had just opened into the old man's hand.
"Uncle, please tell us what evil things are going on!"
The old man, who is a long-time smoker, was not polite. After a token dodge, he happily grabbed it in his hand, then unzipped the cotton-padded jacket in front of him and carefully stuffed it into his pocket.
"You, the little fat guy, are still sensible, please wait a moment!"
With that said, he turned around and walked into the guard's room, and then the retractable door slowly opened a gap that could allow one person to pass through.
I was overjoyed and quietly gave the fat man a thumbs up. He was indeed better than me in this aspect. If there was a better stage, this guy would definitely be a social master.
"Come in!"
The old man waved to us, took us into the guard room, pointed to the sofa and let us sit wherever we wanted, and then poured each of us a glass of boiling water from a disposable cup.
When bringing water to Long Shuiyao, he sighed and said, "What do you mean for such a beautiful girl like you? Why do you want to come to a place like this?"
Long Shuiyao could only smile bitterly when he heard this and did not open his mouth to explain.
"Looking at the accent, you should be from Jiangcheng, right?" the old man asked.
"The uncle is the uncle, he will tell you as soon as he hears it!" the fat man boasted.
But the old man sighed, "Looking at you guys running all the way here, drink this glass of water and leave quickly!"
We put down our cups at the same time. Unexpectedly, the old man was not accommodating at all.
"Uncle, why do you have to drive us out? We can just look around. Can we still see ghosts in broad daylight?" Huzi said unhappily.
"Humph, you are really right. Let me tell you young people, this world is not as simple as you see. For the sake of this little fat man, I advise you to go back and forth from wherever you are. Don't give yourself any trouble.
Cause trouble, this factory has become uneasy again recently!"
Not only were we not afraid after hearing this, but our interest was immediately piqued by the old man.
"Uncle, why is it not peaceful?" Huzi urged.
The old man glared at him and fell silent. His eyes were vaguely looking through the window, as if he was lost in memories.
"Uncle, what are you looking at?" the fat man asked.
The old man said leisurely: "Warehouse No. 17!"
"Warehouse No. 17?" I followed the old man's gaze, but I didn't see Warehouse No. 17.
The old man pointed to his badly burned cheek.
"Have you seen my face?"
"Did you get burned in the fire?" I couldn't help but ask.
What I didn't expect was that the old man shook his head gently, "I happened to not be on the 17th the night the fire broke out, otherwise my life would have been sealed long ago!"
Talking about the fire, the old man's face showed a sad expression, and his eyes were full of panic.
"The fire was really terrible. It burned all night long. More than 40 lives were lost just like that!"
The old man's voice started to tremble slightly, obviously he couldn't forget the past scene.
"Uncle, I heard that the fire was caused by a lion. Is it true?" I asked tentatively.
"How do you know?"
The old man's face suddenly changed and he looked at me suddenly.
