Chapter Thirty-Four: The Hanging Ghost

  "Relocation is about to happen here, the house should be demolished soon, why does Fourth Master still want to solve the problem of that house?" Fatzi was a bit curious, they were about to arrive at the location of the house, and all around them were signs of demolition, with almost no one left.

  The customer doesn't say much and tries not to ask questions unless necessary, Tianqi told Pangzi that when meeting with the client, be mindful of what you say and don't ask unnecessary questions.

  When Tian Qi said so about himself, Pao Zi stuck out his tongue and smiled at Ying Ying.

  "How come it feels a bit cold?" said Yingying, and not just him, everyone in the car felt like the temperature had dropped by several degrees. The sun had just set, and besides, the temperature wasn't low to begin with, so the sudden situation was a bit off.

  "We're here," Tian Qi didn't have time to think much before he saw the navigation indicate that they had arrived at their destination. The car lights shone on a person, who was hunched over, wearing a black robe, probably the employer that Pangzi mentioned.

  "It wasn't him who was there, and that day's getup, as soon as I stepped through the 'door' I felt a suffocating atmosphere!" Fatso said.

  A few people got off the bus, perhaps seeing more than they expected. Fourth Master stared at Yingying and asked, "Who is this?"

  "She is my friend," Tian Qi said.

  "I'm also very powerful, don't underestimate me!" said Yingying.

  Fourth Master didn't answer, "Let's go take a look at the house first." He led the way.

  The house is actually not far away, and I recognized it after seeing the photos in advance.

  "This used to be a factory?" After entering, everyone found that it was empty and there were some broken machines inside.

  "Where's Fourth Master?" Fourth Master was the first to come in. He said he went to turn on the light, but Fatty found that Fourth Master had disappeared.

  Several people searched around and shouted a few times, but the house only had a few empty echoes in response to Fourth Master's voice.

  Chou Shen felt that something was off, he turned around and walked towards the big 'door', but the 'door' could no longer be opened, possibly because it had been locked from the outside. However, he found a piece of paper.

  "You can't get out of this 'big gate', don't even think about contacting others, your phones won't have any signal, unless you can reach the sixth floor, and if you're still alive by then, you can naturally leave." The fat man used his phone's flashlight function to illuminate it, the words written above were very clear, they had been ambushed.

  "I knew it, I thought this old man wasn't a good person from the start, didn't expect it to be true!" Fatso said with a regretful face.

  Tian Qi is also depressed, it's really not worth coming. Originally, I voted against it myself, but later when Yingying and Pangzi said so, I changed my mind.

  "Isn't this some kind of prank?" Yingying still hadn't realized the severity of the situation, after all her social experience wasn't as rich as Tianqi's.

  "I think it shouldn't be," Qiu Shen said, "look up and take a look," the fatty moved the light upwards.

  A rope hung down from the ceiling, with a person suspended from it, their long hair hanging down, eyes bulging out, tongue sticking out, clothes tattered and worn out, looking like they had been dead for some time. However, they swayed gently back and forth on the rope, exuding an inexplicable sense of eeriness and terror.

  "Oh my god!" Yingying was so frightened that she tightly grabbed Tianqi's body. Although she had seen corpses more than once, this was her first time in such a situation.

  "My goodness, you scared me to death!" Chubby's phone almost flew out of his hand.

  Tian Qi's heart was also racing at this moment, which clearly indicated that it wasn't just any ordinary employer, but someone who wanted to kill them. But who could it be? They hadn't offended anyone in their line of work, and even if they had, the issue would have been resolved by now.

  Could it be Shen Yanqiang? The one who put the ashes box at home for worship? But it shouldn't be, he has already been taught a lesson by him, and it can also be considered as showing mercy, unless he is not reconciled and found someone else.

  "I had a feeling that Fourth Master was up to no good. It seems that everything was his doing." Chou Shen said.

  "What's the use of saying these now," said the fatty with some regret, but he couldn't blame others. At that time, if he hadn't pushed for it, this single business might not have been taken on.

  "It's done, it's like this now, don't think too much about it. No matter who wants to harm us, they have to come out to investigate. We should think about how to break the situation now. Let's check what light sources we can use." Tian Qi forced himself to calm down.

  Tian Qi had two mobile phones, both with sufficient battery life, but only one had a flashlight function. The remaining three people - Pangzi, Yingying and Chou Shen - were left in the dark, although Yingying happened to have brought a flashlight with her.

  The mobile phone has been checked, and no one's has a signal. Tianqi took the photo with his mobile phone while on the road and sent it to the instructor, hoping that the instructor could see something after receiving the photo.

  "Can't we first take down that 'female' corpse hanging up there, it's making me dizzy with its swaying." said the fatty.

  Actually, Tian Qi also had this idea, first put down the hanging 'female' corpse, maybe still can find some clues, but when the light shone on it again, the 'female' corpse disappeared, only the rope was swaying.

  For a moment, everyone was silent, and the whole factory was eerily quiet. Yingying tightly grasped Tianqi's hand.

  They just stood here, 'female' corpse was just hanging above, now ran to where? If someone moved it, it couldn't be so fast, and there wasn't even a bit of noise.

  To save light sources, Tianqi let everyone use two mobile phones as flashlights first. He and Yingying used one, Pangzi and Qiu Shen used one, and they stuck to the wall to find the switch. Maybe the lights here can still be turned on, although Tianqi knew this might be a bit unlikely.

  The light is insufficient, and now there's another disappearing female corpse hanging dead, the situation is very ominous.

  The four of them were not far apart, just in the front and rear positions, feeling their way along the wall, the factory area was not small, estimated to be around 600 square meters, it would take some time to feel their way through from start to finish.

  "I'm going, what thing!" The light shone on the wall, and Fatso almost tripped over something without noticing the road under his feet.

  "My god, how did you end up here!" The fatty retreated a few steps back.

  The "woman" corpse that was hanging just now is lying on the ground.

  "Don't get too close," Tian Qi said, although he hadn't personally witnessed a zombie's resurrection, it didn't mean it wouldn't happen.

  Tian Qi took out the black stick he was carrying and walked over to use it to stir the corpse, but nothing unusual happened.

  "Who's there!" Qiu Shen suddenly shouted, taking out his flashlight and shining it forward.

  But there was nothing there except for an abandoned machine.

  "What did you see?" Tian Qi asked.

  "I don't know, I feel like something was staring at us just now," Qiu Shen said, holding the light source and walking over. The machine was about one meter high and two meters wide. If there was anything crouching and hiding behind it, people in front might not be able to see it.

  "Be careful," Tian Qi and the three others also walked over.

  No one noticed that the "woman" corpse lying on the ground moved her eyeballs slightly, and her tongue licked a little...

  Chou Shen was also very cautious, fearing that something would suddenly pop out from behind, so he stuck to the edge and slowly moved to the back, Tian Qi holding a black stick at the ready.

  Yingying was curious about the stick in Tian's hand, but now wasn't the time to ask.

  The light finally shone behind the machine, and indeed there was nothing at all.

  "Is it just your imagination?" Fatso asked.

  "It's not an illusion, there really was someone here just now, you see," said Yingying with a keen mind, noticing the footprints behind the machine, although they were very shallow.

  "It's definitely that damned old man, playing tricks on us here!" Fatso also spotted the footprint.

  Just then, the female corpse behind them had quietly stood up and slowly walked towards Tian Qi and the others. Several people did not notice anything unusual because there was no sound, nor even footsteps.

  Can't give up halfway, the four of them prepare to continue searching for a switch on the wall. This time, Fatty insists on not walking in front again, and Tianqi and Yingying take the lead.

  Slowly 'feeling' their way, actually using a flashlight to find would be more convenient, but Tian Qi thought about the six-story building, if they really had to rush past one floor at a time, they must have a light source, otherwise it would be even more dangerous.

  "Ah, save me!" The fatty suddenly shouted loudly.

  "What's wrong!" Fatso was in the last position, Qiu Shen was in front of him. Qiu Shen shone the light on Fatso at the first time, but the scene in front of everyone stunned them.

  The hanged 'female' corpse was holding the fat man from behind, and the dead landlord had him immobilized, with his tongue stuck to the back of the fat man's neck.

  The fat boy was frightened pale, without a trace of blood color.
