Hell App - Chapter 67
It was a very narrow and crowded place, and as soon as I turned around I disappeared… Is Hu Chen’s girlfriend perhaps caught in the escalator?
Cai Yu’s mother was dragged into the freezer, and it made sense to take an escalator.
From this point of view, the ghosts this time are probably the various facilities in the mall.
If Chu Fu didn’t know there was a problem with the freezer at that time and casually put a box of ice cream in the freezer where the woman’s body was buried, would the person who was dragged in just now be a different person?
A thoughtful look flashed in Bai Yan’s eyes, and he thought that he must be careful when investigating next, and it is best not to touch anything in this mall.
Bai Yan raised his eyes and secretly observed the ghost handing out flyers.
The ghost took a step forward and was handing a flyer to a passerby. The passerby accepted it casually, stuffed the flyer into his pocket, and left in a hurry.
On a whim, Bai Yan pointed towards the doll and asked Hu Chen in a low voice: “Did you see it when you came yesterday?”
“Him? The one who handed out flyers?” Hu Chen was stunned for a moment, then became more angry: “Yes, I remember him! Did he give my girlfriend…?”
Afraid that Hu Chen’s blood would surge up and he rushed forward to question the ghost, Bai Yan quickly said: “Wait a minute, this person didn’t do it.”
Facing Hu Chen’s confused look, Bai Yan said again: “Did they give you flyers yesterday? Did you accept them?”
“Is this related to the disappearance of my girlfriend?” Hu Chen was a little suspicious, but still said: “He sent us a leaflet. Yuanyuan saw that he was not easy, so she just took it and put it in her bag. What’s wrong?”
Of course it has something to do with it, it may have been responsible for your girlfriend’s death, but can I tell you?
After Bai Yan got the information he wanted, he said casually: “It’s nothing, just ask, maybe it will be useful.”
In order to divert Hu Chen’s attention, Bai Yan asked other things.
During the questioning process, Bai Yan was also thinking that Hu Chen’s girlfriend took the ghost flyer, maybe she was actually killed by the ghost flyer.
At this time, Bai Yan had a guess in his mind.
This mall may be a normal mall for most people, where they can enjoy shopping.
But for those who took the flyers, the mall was a reminder that anything in the mall could kill them.
People who take the flyers will die if they enter the mall.
After they die, they become new ghosts, luring people close to them into the mall through dreams and asking them to die here to accompany it.
As for those who were fine, they either took the flyers and did not enter the mall, or they got the flyers and threw them away.
Since he has not seen the condition of Cai Yu’s mother, Bai Yan is not sure yet.
However, even if the guess is true, this is not a way out. The deaths of the designated NPCs are only indirectly related to the flyers. Just like Hu Chen, he did not carry the flyers personally, so the flyer ghosts would not kill him. What really wanted to harm him was his ‘missing’ girlfriend…
No, I can’t say it doesn’t matter at all.
These designated NPCs were also present when receiving the flyers, and they were very close to the victims. Maybe ghosts are also doing this trick…
Bai Yan thought about it and felt that it was useless to dream about it. He still had to practice it and find a way out through action.
So, he chatted with Hu Chen and asked him to take them to the place where his girlfriend disappeared.
When Hu Chen led the way, Bai Yan took a step behind, walking side by side with Chu Fu, and said to her: “He will be handed over to you in a moment.”
“!”
Chu Fu dared not say anything in anger, but she also knew the actual reason. She already knew Wang Ze’s true face, so it was strange that Wang Ze could be polite to her.
After experiencing several games, Chu Fu knew that everyone had to contribute to pass the level. When encountering danger, it was only fair that everyone should play the game once.
However, the one who went up first was the most dangerous, and she was a little unhappy. But she glanced at ‘Wang Ze’ and saw his half-smiling expression. She trembled in her heart, but gritted her teeth and admitted it. What if she didn’t go first and this lunatic was trying to get in the way behind her back?
So, Chu Fu said bitterly: “This time it was me, next time it should be you, right?”
When she said this, Chu Fu made up her mind. If Wang Ze defaulted on his debt next time, she would rather break up with him than endure his threats anymore!
Seeing Chu Fu’s pale face, Bai Yan also knew to give it up: “Okay, it’s my turn next time.”
During the conversation, the three of them walked into the mall. When Hu Chen entered, he wanted to take the escalator to the third floor.
Seeing this, Bai Yan quickly stopped him: “Mr. Hu, I suggest you don’t take the escalator. It’s best to go up by the stairs.”
“Why? What’s wrong with taking the escalator?”
Hu Chen felt very irritated, and so did the flyer just now. The detective was so nagging, could he just ask useless questions?
Seeing that it was far away from the door, the doll handing out flyers could no longer be seen.
Bai Yan thought for a while and decided to tell Hu Chen the truth.
Even if he doesn’t believe it, he will naturally believe it if he really sees a ghost.
So, Bai Yan said: “Mr. Hu, do you believe there are ghosts in this world? If I say that your girlfriend is not missing, but has turned into a ghost and died in the escalator, will you still insist on finding her?” “
Hu Chen laughed angrily: “What kind of virtue? I asked you to help me find a girlfriend. It’s better for you to help me. If you don’t help me, you actually cursed her to death!”
Seeing that Hu Chen was so angry that his face was red and his neck was thick, and he was ready to use force, Bai Yan said again: “Mr. Hu, please think about it carefully. In a shopping mall where people are coming and going, people disappear just after getting off the escalator. , no matter how bold the kidnapper is, it is impossible for him to be so arrogant. And from your description, you and your girlfriend have a harmonious relationship. You are about to go back after buying clothes. It is impossible for your girlfriend to just finish packing her shoes in such a short period of time. Just suddenly lose your temper and run away from you?”
“That makes sense, but for you to say that she died and turned into a ghost is too…”
Before Hu Chen finished speaking, Bai Yan interrupted him: “You just mentioned that your girlfriend said in your dream that she was trapped in a very narrow and crowded place in the shopping mall, and asked you to rescue her. Get off the escalator. Where can we find a place that is very close, very narrow and crowded?”
“…but how is that possible!”
Seeing that Hu Chen was uneasy and doubtful, Bai Yan added fuel to his anger: “Mr. Hu, I’m not lying to you. What a coincidence is that besides you, several customers also entrusted me with their work yesterday. Relatives have also disappeared in this mall. And just like you, after their relatives and friends disappeared, they were also dreamed of by the missing people… If you still don’t believe it, I can prove it to you in a moment. If what I said is false, I can. I’ll pay you some money!”
Bai Yan’s last words moved Hu Chen. He said it for this reason. If it was just to lie to him, then this person would have worked hard enough.
Hu Chen himself was not a staunch atheist. Under the promise of losing money, he decided to give it a try first and settle the score with this guy if it was fake.
Bai Yan said so emphatically, and seeing the solemn expression on his face, Hu Chen’s heart skipped a beat… His girlfriend couldn’t really turn into a ghost, could she?
Hu Chen was confused by Bai Yan’s words, and now he felt very complicated.
There was only one escalator going down on the third floor. Bai Yan glanced there and saw that the escalator’s treads were solid and tightly closed, with no signs of collapse. The elevator is also running slowly downwards and is in normal operation.
After pointing out the place where his girlfriend disappeared, Hu Chen looked around and saw no ghost, so he couldn’t help but ask: “You said my girlfriend turned into a ghost, but where is she?”
“Your girlfriend should be near the escalator. You can take a closer look.”
Bai Yan asked Hu Chen to go to where his girlfriend was sorting her shoes and take a closer look. When Hu Chen went there full of doubts, he pushed Chu Fu and motioned for her to come in quickly.
Pushed forward by Bai Yan, Chu Fu reluctantly walked over and stood around the escalator.
At this time, Hu Chen had already reached the step of the escalator.
As soon as he stepped onto the pedal, he stopped suddenly because he seemed to hear his girlfriend’s voice.
“Yuanyuan, Yuanyuan! Where are you?”
“Are you calling me?”
Hearing Hu Chen’s cry, Chu Fu immediately became energetic. She stared at Hu Chen closely, trying to pull him out when something happened to see if she could save his life.
Hu Chen shouted a few times, but saw no one anywhere. At this time, he remembered Bai Yan’s words, and the anxious look on his face dropped sharply, but there was a hint of fear.
He couldn’t help but squat down slowly, and found that the closer he was to the pedal, the clearer Yuanyuan’s voice became.
Could it be…she really?
Hu Chen had an ominous premonition and stood up to leave this strange place.
However, as soon as he stood up, the treads of the escalator suddenly collapsed.
Hu Chen’s body sank, a feeling of weightlessness suddenly hit him, and his whole body immediately fell downward——
Fortunately, Chu Fu’s reaction was very quick. She kept staring at Hu Chen. When the pedal collapsed, she stepped forward and grabbed him, allowing half of his body to lie on the ground.
Bai Yan had already pressed the emergency stop switch and went up to help him, but unfortunately, it was of no use.
He and Chu Fu tried hard together, but they couldn’t pull Hu Chen, because under the pedal, a pair of curved and deformed hands grabbed Hu Chen’s feet and were dragging him down one by one…
Hu Chen was lying on the ground and could not see the scene behind him, but Bai Yan and Chu Fu could see it clearly.
Under the pedal, there is a cut and bloody human figure, but the terrifying thing is that its body is like plasticine, squeezed into a long strip, and it hooks Hu Chen’s feet with noodle-like fingers. With a contraction of his fingers, Hu Chen was dragged to the next section…
“Help me! Help me!”
Hu Chen put his face on the cold ground and howled, but the people holding his arms were tug-of-war with the female ghost, and no one had the intention to comfort him.
The female ghost was very strong. Even though she used all her strength, Hu Chen still slowly fell down the hole.
Realizing that he was gradually leaving the ground, Hu Chen suddenly screamed even more miserably. However, all the passers-by blocked the situation here, and no one came to help.
Gradually, Hu Chen began to despair, and Bai Yan felt a little unable to hold on after being in a stalemate with the female ghost for a long time.
If this continues, he might not be able to be saved, and he will be dragged down too. Should he let go?
Bai Yan gradually lost his strength and planned to sell NCP, but Chu Fu held Hu Chen’s arm tightly and seemed to want to save it.
While tugging, she unconsciously licked her lips, opened her mouth wide, and took a deep breath.
Perhaps due to the effect of this tone, the female ghost’s pulling force suddenly became weaker. She exerted her strength and actually pulled Hu Chen out.
After coming up, Hu Chen lay on the ground and gasped for air. He crawled away on his hands and feet, far away from the pedal.
However, when Hu Chen finally came up, Chu Fu’s eyes darkened and she suddenly fell to the ground. She fell straight to the ground, closed her eyes and lost consciousness.
As Hu Chen climbed away, the pedal slowly closed, and soon it was tightly closed. Except for the unconscious Chu Fu, everything before seemed to be an illusion.
