Here Lies The Wicked

Chapter 109 Night Watchman

The person in charge of Shen Wenle's supernatural event was a man called Captain Fei.

Perhaps because of the peculiarity of his work, Captain Fei's eyes were as sharp as a knife.

His facial features were as solid as a knife, with hard edges.

This is a strong man.

According to Captain Fei, when Shen Wenle was at school during the day, he was still safe and did not notice anything unusual.

But when the sun set the last ray of light, Shen Wenle suddenly died.

He died in front of everyone without warning.

After an autopsy, there was no obvious organ damage or weakness in the body, and the cause of death... Brain death.

But what was even weirder was what happened next.

According to Special operations department's experience in dealing with such matters, the beginning and end of a supernatural event always requires a trigger condition or... Turn on the light.

For example, an earth-binding spirit like a water ghost would be triggered if someone approached the river or swam in it.

The end condition was for the water demon to find a scapegoat.

For example, if an earthbound spirit like a haunted house were to enter the haunted house to trigger a curse or resentment.

The end condition is also to kill all intruders.

A supernatural event does not suddenly appear for no reason, nor does it end suddenly for no reason. It must be in accordance with a rule of the game.

Everything was under one rule.

Shen Wenle's sudden and abnormal death quickly made the Special operations department realize that the situation was moving beyond their control. So they began to mobilize a large number of manpower, one by one, to investigate the social circle around Shen Wenle, including classmates, deskmates, relatives, neighbors, etc., focusing on the direction of peers.

As a result, they did find out that just the night before Shen Wenle spent the night at the Underworld shop and had a safe night, another group of people in Zhou city had the same nightmare.

He also dreamed of a scarecrow.

It was also a nightmare, and the scarecrow approached people every day.

In addition to the people around Shen Wenle, there are now two groups of unrelated people in Zhou city who have the same nightmare.

Because just yesterday, another neighbor of Shen Wenle died in his sleep without escaping his nightmare, scarecrow.

When he was found, he was covered in bruises, as if he had been bitten by the claws of a wild beast, and was tortured to death alive, just like a psychopath killing a small animal.

This nightmare of murder... Had begun to spread like a virus in the city of zhou.

It was spreading rapidly.

Spread? Spread? Fang Zheng was startled and could not help but feel a chill in his heart.

The hair on his back exploded.

Bloody Marie incident! Bixian incident! At this moment, the first thing that came to Fang Zheng's mind was these two super supernatural events that happened abroad.

Once there, there would be widespread casualties.

In just a few seconds, Fang Zheng thought of a lot. He looked at Captain Fei and his teammates opposite him and began to analyze calmly, "Captain Fei just said that the supernatural event can't happen for no reason, and it can't end for no reason. It must meet a catalyst condition, and then it can happen within a specific game rule."

"I think of it as something called a supernatural event, which is nothing more than the resentment of a dying person, such as an unfinished heart or an unrequited hatred, so it repeats the same thing over and over again according to a certain pattern."

"If that's the case, then there's a game loophole!"

"Shen Wenle is the source of the nightmare, which is why his relatives and neighbors will fall into the nightmare world. This is one of the rules of the game. But Shen Wenle's sudden abnormal death, the nightmare not only did not end, but also spread and spread in other areas. This does not conform to the rules of the game mentioned before."

Fang Zheng looked at Captain Fei, whose features were as sharp as knives, and said meaningfully, "Unless... There's another virus carrier?"

"Huh?" Captain Fei looked surprised.

"You are very smart. You are indeed the chosen one by Mr. Fu, the new successor of the night watchman."

Hat?

The successor of the night watchman?

Was there a misunderstanding? I'm just a temporary worker. I'll leave in half a month.

What does all this have to do with me?

With just a little thought, one could understand what Captain Fei meant by the night watchman... It was someone like Mr. Fu who specialized in dealing with mysterious, strange, and special spiritual events.

Before Fang Zheng could explain that he was just a temporary worker, Captain Fei had already said in a low voice, "We did find another carrier."

"Han Peng, male, 12 years old, native of Zhou city..."

"Currently studying at sixth high school, Shen Wenle's classmate..."

"The second group of victims who were in a nightmare were Han Peng's parents, grandparents, and neighbors. When we searched Shen Wenle's social circle one by one to see if there were any new victims, the abnormal situation of the people around Han Peng immediately entered our vision. It was then that we realized that the psychic divination card in Shen Wenle's hand might not have been completed by Shen Wenle alone. A second person helped him, and this second person was Han Peng."

"But we were one step too late. Han Peng mysteriously disappeared. We couldn't control Han Peng like we did Shen Wenle."

"If we can't find Han Peng today, there will be a third batch of people dragged into the nightmare tonight."

"There will be a fourth batch tomorrow and a fifth the day after tomorrow... So what we need most now is to race against time to find the missing Han Peng as soon as possible. Then we will find the Evil spirits scarecrow and end everything."

Is the situation so serious...

Fang Zheng was shocked.

Facing Captain Fei's hopeful gaze, Fang Zheng sighed and had to explain, "Captain Fei, I'm really sorry. I can't help you. First of all, I won't go to hell."

"Second, I'm not the night watchman or the new successor of the night watchman. I do know Mr. Fu, but I'm just an ordinary temporary worker who will leave the Underworld shop in half a month or a month. Mr. Fu never told me about the night watchman or the successor."

"Third, I can't get in touch with Mr. Fu right now. I can't help Captain Fei talking about psychic divination, supernatural events, scarecrow in his dreams."

Fang Zheng's eyes were sincere. He really didn't lie.

Hearing this, Captain Fei and a few Special operations department people along with them all changed their faces.

After about ten seconds of silence, Captain Fei said, "Can I temporarily store Shen Wenle's body in the underworld?"

"For now, it might be safer to keep Shen Wenle's body in the Underworld shop than we do."

This was a small matter. Fang Zheng nodded in agreement.

It was just a body.
