Indescribable cyberpunk - #656 - Chapter 638 Yin Soldiers

in the dark.

A bright yellow candle burned.

Illuminating a pair of bluish-white skinny palms.

Each hand holds a small half of the candle, and the wax oil is still dripping on the skin, solidifying into oil spots.

呲~

The sound of the mechanical door opening sounded from all directions.

There seemed to be a rush of footsteps.

“Sir Lawrence was intercepted and killed when he left Thousand Sails City. The aircraft we prepared was destroyed. Only traces of the battle were left at the scene, and no body was found.”

There were some interruptions in the words, and the news obviously frightened the people who came to report.

“Whether the Security Department or the Archaeological Association can deal with Lawrence’s people. Have you checked the surveillance video?”

“The surveillance system was hacked, and the images from that period were deleted. Our people did not find any airships from the Security Department or the Archaeological Association nearby. No modern weapons were found during the inspection of the scene. Maybe it was tampered with by people from the Weird Studio. hand.”

“Weird Studio?”

The candle swayed from side to side, then stabilized again. After a brief silence, the person holding the candle said again,

“It’s just a struggle before death. If it’s really them, don’t worry about it. Lawrence will never reveal the plan no matter he lives or lives. He should just help us delay the time. The director of the epidemic prevention center that Lawrence contacted before originally wanted to recruit him. Now it seems that it has become an uncertain factor, find someone to shut him up!”

“clear.”

He bowed and backed away, the sound of footsteps getting closer and farther away.

“continue!”

With a muffled shout, candles lit up one after another in the surrounding shadows.

“We walk on earth for you, may your kingdom come, may your”

The prayers that could barely be heard at first gradually turned into frightening whispers as the candlelight dispersed.

Until the steps of all the people holding candles come to a standstill, if someone is above, you can see that the positions of these people seem to follow a certain trajectory.

Immediately afterwards, messy and heavy footsteps suddenly sounded around, like feet dragging on the ground, making a constant “chacha~” sound. Not long after, within a small area barely illuminated by these candlelights, there were There are more than a dozen pairs of shoes of different sizes, and their owners are also different in terms of dress, height and weight.

If there is anything in common, it is the haggard faces and lackluster eyes revealed under the candlelight. Staying in the darkness for a long time makes their skin color sickly pale, as if One after another, corpses crawled out of the coffins, not yet decomposed.

Black patches loomed under the cover of his clothes, and the lifelessness made people feel chilly from the bottom of their hearts.

The person holding the candle suddenly had a free hand and reached into his robe. When he took it out, he held a few sticks of incense. He twisted his knuckles, first broke them in the palm of his hand, then crushed them, and placed them slowly on the candlelight. Sprinkle slowly.

Along with the chanting of the mantra, the incense ashes fell, and turned into a cloud of gray mist under the burning of the flame.

Lingering among the “crowd”.

Late at night, as the temperature continues to drop, the moisture in the sleet gradually condenses, eventually turning into heavy snow at midnight.

“Hey, did you hear that?”

“What?”

“No. 011, the matter of warehouse No. 012.”

Two beams of light swept left and right on the snow-covered road in the warehouse area, and warehouse employees wearing dark green cloaks were conducting routine night inspections.

This area is full of warehouses and there are no residents. Due to the large amount of goods and the bad weather, they are required to patrol in pairs at night to ensure that some facilities and equipment in the storage area will not malfunction due to low temperatures.

The oncoming wind and snow and their trembling bodies made them urgently need a topic to divert their attention.

“Are those two warehouses filled with several large trucks?”

“you know?”

“It happened to be my team that day, and we were the ones cleaning the two warehouses you mentioned.”

“Did you see anything in the car?”

“Haha, those guys are like hiding treasures. They don’t even do basic cargo registration. I remember that those few cars were parked in the warehouse before they were driven out. If you don’t know, you think those cars are your goods. You don’t have any thoughts about them. I advise you to calm down. They are important items specially assigned by the superiors. We are not even allowed to get close to them. If you dare to go for “free prostitution”, don’t blame me for not warning you if you are punished by the superiors. you.”

He knew that the guy he patrolled with had a history of petty theft before. He would occasionally do this once or twice, but it was only limited to some worthless loose goods.

“That’s not what I want to talk about this time, but that someone has heard strange noises coming from warehouses 011 and 012 recently. It seems like there is someone inside.”

“Is someone acting weird? Wouldn’t it be weird if the company’s people didn’t make any noise when checking the goods?”

“Have you ever seen any company that braved the heavy snow late at night to inspect the goods?”

Patting the thin snow accumulated above his head, he took two steps closer to his companion and lowered his voice and said,

“The noise is made in the early hours of the morning every day. I suspect that those trucks are filled with people. I mean the kind of people who are used to sell goods in the black market. They come here at night to give food and pick up goods.”

“I heard from the administrator that those goods are required by the Wu Group to be properly kept. Is that unlikely?”

Having said that, his mind still pictured the people who drove into the warehouse that day, whose temperament and eyes were completely different from ordinary drivers.

“You don’t understand this. It’s precisely because the Wu Group is a large consortium and they have dozens of large warehouses that they can do this kind of work. Ordinary forces really don’t have this qualification.”

“Hey! Don’t talk nonsense. If what you say is true, if the people of the Wu family find out about this, they will think you are going to tell the truth and they will kill you first.”

“What are you thinking? This is a storage area. I’m sure there is nothing within two hundred meters. What is that?”

The words stopped abruptly, and the man stared blankly ahead.

Another person followed his gaze.

In the white light scattered by the street lampposts, a group of ragged “refugees” were moving together. Their heads were lowered, and their extremely thin torsos could not hold up their clothes, so they looked like a row of skeletons in front of silence. OK.

The snowflakes falling from the sky passed through their bodies and fell at their feet. The snow where there should have been messy footprints was so clean that it was shocking.

“FUCK! FUCK! FUCK what are you doing? Let me go!”

He retreated uncontrollably, as if the cold wind blowing from the cracks in his bones was about to make his heart freeze. However, when he turned around, his companion grabbed his wrist.

“Don’t make any noise. When I participated in the All Ghost Festival event, I heard an old man say that this must be some kind of evil soldier in the story who is trying to seduce the souls. We must pretend not to see it, otherwise Their souls will be taken away by them, and if you run back at this time, you are seeking death.”

He tightly grasped his companion’s wrist, turned around as slowly as possible, turned off the searchlight,

“Now listen to me, turn your back to them, and walk back slowly.”

“Don’t lie to me”

In desperation, he had no choice but to believe, turned around, pretended as if nothing happened, moved his steps, and at the same time raised his ears, listening to the sounds coming from behind.

There was only the sound of wind and the crunch of footsteps on the snow.

It should be fine, right?

Will the sound of stepping on the snow attract their attention?

Those “people” didn’t follow, did they?

Extreme fear caused a strong physiological reaction. The man who wanted to run at first was gasping for air, his forehead was covered with cold sweat, his legs were shaking uncontrollably, and his mind was filled with the scene he just saw.

“Hey, you have to stay calm, they will find out if you do this!”

Perhaps because he had heard the story about Yin soldiers taking advantage of him before, his reaction was quite calm, but the state of his companions made him worry about whether he would be harmed. While comforting him, he turned to the side and tried to stay away. he.

“The soul of fear will become the foundation stone”

The hoarse voice reached my ears, only half of it.

The man who had just turned around had not yet understood the meaning of this sentence. From the corner of his eye, he saw his companion beside him falling face down in the snow.

Yes, what the old man said is correct.

The people I saw just now are the evil soldiers seducing souls. Once they are discovered due to excessive fear, the result will be that their souls will be stolen away.

So as long as I maintain my current state and continue to go back, there will be no problem.

But before he could go far, his steps could no longer go forward.

The reason is very simple. In the direction he was facing at this time, a very similar scene to what he saw just now appeared. Through the clothes of those “people”, it was barely possible to determine that these people were from another group, and their The direction of action is exactly where he is!

what to do?

Faced with the siege from the front and back, he had no choice but to turn around and face the warehouse on the side. However, as soon as he turned his face, a terrifying face covered with black spots occupied his entire field of vision.

“ah!!!”

The screams could no longer be suppressed, and they fell backwards on the snow. As their bodies swayed, their eyes fell on the two groups of “people” again.

In a trance.

The shapes of those “people” were like water mirrors thrown into stones and shattered in an instant.

Reflected in his pupils were more than a dozen disgusting monsters crowded together, howling with hunger and running towards him.

“The fearful soul will become the cornerstone of death, that is, eternity!”

The last moments of life.

He heard the whispers of demons.

There will be more later
