Chapter 47 The frightened bird
Chapter 47 The frightened bird
After the ghost left, Ning Zhe did not rush to the direction of the power switch immediately. Instead, he came to the body that the ghost had just possessed, squatted down, and gave it a quick inspection.
There were no initial injuries on the body, except for minor abrasions caused by the friction between the skin and the grass when he fell. The muscles on his face were stiff and solidified, freezing the terrified and distorted facial features before death.
If Ning Zhe hadn't known that Taiyi and Zhaoyou had been killed by him, he would have even thought that this person was from Hejiacun. After all, his death was too similar to Gu Yunqing's, it could be said to be exactly the same.
——But does this mean that there is nothing suspicious about him?
of course not.
Ning Zhe took out a power bank from his pocket and turned on the light on it.
——His power bank comes with a small light. In addition to charging electronic devices, it can also be used as an emergency flashlight.
The bright but concentrated light shone on the corpse in front of Ning Zhe, illuminating the terrified look on his face extremely clearly, but Ning Zhe was not looking at the corpse itself at this moment, but the lawn behind him.
The corpse killed by this ghost is indeed somewhat different from an ordinary human body. There are some strange things on his body. These strange things are not very obvious, nor are they very hidden. As long as you look for them carefully, they are not difficult to find.
But in the previous chaotic and tense atmosphere, obviously no one had the energy to take the time to care for the dead.
After experiencing the thrilling scene just now and having a vague idea in his mind, Ning Zhe easily found some clues from the corpse.
"This body has no shadow." Ning Zhe tilted the power bank in his hand slightly to change the angle of light, but there was still no outline of the body on the lawn in front.
The light from the electric lamp passed through the dead body on the ground without hindrance, as if through a piece of glass.
No, even completely transparent colorless glass will have some refraction or scattering phenomena, but the corpse in front of me has nothing at all. The light passes through the real human body without any hindrance or attenuation, as if there is nothing in front of me.
"The person who was killed by the ghost, his shadow disappeared." Ning Zhe turned off the flashlight, put the power bank back into his pocket, and stood up: "Okay, let's sort out the information we have now."
1. Ghosts do not have normal vision. They cannot see people. They can only see the shadows left by people when they are illuminated by light.
2. People killed by ghosts have no shadow
3. Ghosts do not appear alone. They often choose to possess the bodies of people they have killed.
4. Ghosts are afraid of light. When they are too close to a light source, the body they possess will become cautious and slow in their movements.
Just like he didn't kill Feng Yusu immediately in the corridor before, and he didn't kill Ning Zhe immediately under the street light. When the ghost is too close to the light source, its movements will be slow.
While Ning Zhe was thinking, he heard a slight sound and the corpse lying on the lawn suddenly moved.
The ghost is back.
Although Ning Zhe was very careful when using the power bank for lighting, he still couldn't avoid having a faint shadow outline on his body due to the scattered light from the electric lamp.
Even though his inspection process was simple and quick enough, and turning off the lights was neat and tidy enough, the shadow existed and it existed for a second. Ghosts are the rules, and the rules only look at whether it exists, not the severity of the shadow.
Ning Zhe took a step back and silently watched the corpse in front of him stand up straight, like a city gate pulled up by a rope.
At this moment the ghost was right in front of him, but could not find him because the lights were turned off.
"It's just a ghost with some meaning..." Ning Zhe frowned slightly.
Unlike Zhaoyou, this ghost has a very strong ability to kill on first sight. Once you encounter it without any information or prompts, you will be killed instantly without any room for reaction. However, once you have intelligence and a direction to dodge and think, it is not difficult to crack or subdue it. It can even be said to be easy.
"If the facts are really as I guessed, this ghost was really put here because of Zhao You..." Ning Zhe's expression became strange: "Then this person really underestimated me."
Even without Bai Zhi's hint, Ning Zhe could use Taiyi's rules to drag people to die, and rely on piling up lives again and again to forcibly create the rules. Many people in the manor died, but there were always survivors.
Unless the person who put this ghost into the manor didn't know about Taiyi's existence.
"He knows Zhao You, but not Taiyi?" Ning Zhe vaguely felt as if he had grasped something very important.
rustle……
A faint friction sound was heard from the honeysuckle bushes not far away. Ning Zhe subconsciously turned his eyes towards the source of the sound, and what followed was a dull gunshot that had been silenced.
call out--
The human body has its limits. Even an athlete with the best physical fitness cannot dodge bullets at such a close distance. Even if the nerve reaction can keep up, the body cannot.
But the rules keep up.
Taiyi's rules take effect much faster than Ning Zhe's body moves.
At the same moment the gunshot rang out, the parasol in Ning Zhe's hand fell to the ground with a thud. The boy holding the umbrella disappeared out of thin air in front of Old Li who was holding the gun, and turned into a small magpie that landed on the lawn.
As the bird's claws touched the ground, the magpie turned back into Ning Zhe again. He kicked his legs hard on the grass, and the whole person shot out like an arrow. Before the gun in Lao Li's hand could catch the target again, Ning Zhe's fist had already hit his abdomen.
"Well!"
The heavy blow to his abdomen brought him excruciating pain, but Lao Li was unable to utter a single scream, because Ning Zhe, while striking him in the abdomen with his right hand, simultaneously broke his gun-holding wrist with his knee, and with his left hand, pinched Lao Li's throat before he could utter a scream, and threw him to the ground.
It was like a cheetah pouncing on an antelope, its sharp canine teeth locking onto the herbivore's trachea.
Ning Zhe rode on Lao Li, pinching his neck expressionlessly, and quickly stretched out his right hand to his face, inserting his fingers into his eye sockets.
Then with two "puffs", Ning Zhe dug out Lao Li's two eyeballs with his bare hands. The detached eyeballs were hung on both sides of his cheeks by the optic nerves, like yo-yos in the hands of a child, with tears and blood dripping down.
After doing all this, Ning Zhe let go of Lao Li's neck, picked up the riot pistol from the ground, and skillfully assumed a shooting stance: "Who are you and why are you shooting at me?"
However, the severely injured Old Li was unable to answer his question immediately. The middle-aged security captain curled up on the ground, groaning in pain and rolling around.
call out--
A rubber bullet embedded itself into Lao Li's calf, followed by a heart-wrenching scream.
"I'll ask again, who are you, why did you attack me, and do you have any companions?" Ning Zhe asked in a low voice.
