Chapter 71: Shadow but No Body
Chapter 71: Shadow but No Body
Ning Zhe's body fell to the ground with a bang. The gun barrel, which smelled of gunpowder, clanged against the handrail of the stairs. The flashlight that fell to the ground illuminated the blood all over the ground.
"Ning Zhe...?" Bai Zhi was so shocked by this sudden scene that she couldn't speak. She covered her mouth and nose with her hands, her wide eyes filled with fear. Bai Zhi picked up the flashlight that fell on the ground tremblingly, and two lines of tears rolled down from the corners of her eyes.
Bai Zhi was wearing the work clothes of a gas station employee. The loose hem of her clothes cast a hazy gray shadow under the flashlight, which swayed slightly as her body trembled.
"…The special offer is not on him."
Ye Yao's emotionless, heterochromatic eyes lightly swept over the corpse on the ground and the shadow on the wall, and he quietly hid back in the shadows, without making any sound from beginning to end.
Approach, assassinate, hide, a set of operations are smooth and flowing, without any hesitation or delay, a life has been harvested. This is exactly why Ye Yao is notorious in the circle of ascenders.
Haha...If you don't have some real skills, how can you be qualified to come into contact with a big shot of Tu Yu's level?
Ye Yao's eyes were shining as he silently watched Bai Zhi, who was squatting beside Ning Zhe's body, at a loss. He was not in a hurry to mark her thoughts - using ghost powers comes at a price.
After hesitating for a long time, Bai Zhi finally calmed down, wiped away her tears, and continued to walk upstairs with her mobile phone and flashlight.
That's right, little girl, take me to find the last person left. Ye Yao hid in the shadows and followed Bai Zhi upstairs silently. He was now completely sure that the special agent was not in the hands of Ning Zhe or Bai Zhi. His target was the woman named Feng Yusu who had been trapped in the hospital since yesterday.
The sound of the girl's footsteps echoed faintly in the stairwell. Perhaps it was because all his attention was on Bai Zhi, or perhaps it was because the visibility was too low in the dark hospital, or perhaps it was because of the excitement of being given special permission to solve his own death crisis that he neglected certain things... Ye Yao, who was following behind Bai Zhi, did not notice that the body of the man lying on the first floor, who was disfigured by a shotgun, had a Hengsha Ecological Park work badge hanging around his neck.
But the work badge was tucked into the collar, with only a rope sticking out.
A few minutes after Bai Zhi went up to the second floor, the body disappeared, leaving only a pool of deep red blood that lingered for a long time.
"Mom, I'm on the second floor. Where are you?" Bai Zhi put on her headphones, dialed Feng Yusu's number and asked in a low voice.
Ye Yao did not hear the response from the other end of the phone. He only saw Bai Zhi heaved a sigh of relief as if she had found something to rely on. She shone the flashlight in her hand towards the sign above the door frame of the department on the second floor and began looking for something in each department one by one.
It seems that they have already agreed on a meeting place.
Bai Zhi kept the phone connected while running forward, panting and saying, "Mom, Ning Zhe can't come with me to find you. He...he's dead. I don't know what rules he broke, or maybe he couldn't hold on any longer, so he shot himself in the head. ...I'm so scared now. Will we also die in this hospital like Ning Zhe?"
After all, she was a young girl who had not experienced the world. Even after experiencing the strange events in Bishuiwan Manor, witnessing a death happening around her still had a great shock on Baizhi. There was a hint of tears in her words, as if she was a helpless little girl who was crying and looking for her mother to hug her after being bullied by her peers.
almost.
Seeing Bai Zhi's pace slowing down, Ye Yao couldn't help but hold his breath. It seemed that the meeting place of mother and daughter was not far away, and Feng Yusu was about to appear.
A pair of glittering, heterochromatic eyes narrowed slightly in the darkness. Ye Yao curled up in the darkness, waiting for Te Rang to appear.
Bai Zhi stopped outside the ENT clinic, raised her right hand, and pointed the flashlight in her hand at the sign above the door frame.
"It seems to be here..." Bai Zhi muttered, and she seemed to relax. Ye Yao turned her eyes away from the girl and stared at the door of the ENT clinic, waiting for Feng Yushu to appear, and the thought that would make her commit suicide immediately would be stamped. But suddenly -
Bai Zhi's right hand holding the flashlight turned a smooth arc in the air, shining the scattered white light onto the corridor behind her.
"Oops!"
A strong sense of crisis surged into Ye Yao's heart, but human reaction could not be faster than the speed of light. Before he could make any response to Bai Zhi's actions, colorless light fell on the tiles, casting the figure of a man in a crouching position onto the ground.
"Huh?" Bai Zhi looked puzzled, because under the light of the flashlight, only the outline of a human shadow appeared, but the owner of the shadow - the man squatting on the ground, did not appear in the corridor.
The corridor was empty except for Bai Zhi and the dark shadow in front of her.
At this moment, the crisp sound of high heels hitting tiles reached Ye Yao's ears.
despair--
A graceful lady holding an exquisite parasol appeared silently behind Ye Yao. One of her toes wrapped in high heels stretched out quietly and stepped lightly on his crouching shadow.
Suddenly, the pain as if the brain was torn apart spread throughout the nerves, and the twisted and painful groans seemed to come from the abyss of hell, stinging the people's meninges.
Feng Yusu's left foot was placed exactly on the head of the man's shadow. Her slender toes were like a sharp nail, and the shadow under her feet was a living snake with its body pierced and nailed to the wall. It was spasming and twisting violently, and letting out heart-wrenching cries of pain.
However, the howl did not last long. The nailed snake broke free from the nail that pierced its body and tore off a large piece of bloody flesh from the wound.
The already scarred human-shaped shadow had another cut on its head. It escaped from the flashlight's illumination range at an extremely fast speed and quickly disappeared into the dark corridor.
"He ran away." Bai Zhi puffed up her cheeks, a little annoyed: "Why couldn't Te Rang kill him?"
"Maybe it's because I'm not your mother." Ning Zhe put down the umbrella in his hand, and the long skirt with a waist on the plump and perfect mature woman's body turned back into the shirt and trousers he was wearing originally: "If the real Te Rang was here, he would probably be dead."
——When Ye Yao thought that Ning Zhe on the other end of Bai Zhi’s phone was Feng Yusu, he really was Feng Yusu.
However, the Feng Yuxu in Ye Yao's cognition was the one who had the special permission of the instant death rule.
"So now our first concern is..." Ning Zhe thought for a moment and said, "Why did that person just now only have a shadow but no body?"
Where did his body go?
