Chapter 158 I came at a bad time
The saying that a skilled person is daring does not apply to the ascenders. Even the most experienced ascenders may capsize in the gutter and die at the hands of mortals.

Ning Zhe didn't know the situation of the other people in Zanju Town for the time being. It was dangerous to rashly approach a thing that he didn't know whether it was a human or a ghost. After walking a short distance, he gave up the idea of ​​exploring around and returned to the front of Xia Chong who had not yet climbed up.

I had hit her too hard just now. Xia Chong was stunned and curled up on the ground. She hasn't recovered yet. Her tall body was shaking constantly. As Ning Zhe approached, she was shaking even more violently.

"Get up quickly when everything is alright."

Ning Zhe said as he picked up Xia Chong's phone from the ground and turned on the screen to see:
2018年07月10日，深夜22:41。

Ning Zhe's eyes narrowed slightly: "I see."

Putting down the phone, Ning Zhe held the gun in one hand and unbuckled the belt on Xia Chong's pants with the other hand. He took off her waist bag, unzipped it and poured the contents out to the floor.

Wallet, lipstick, perfume, satellite phone... there were so many miscellaneous things. Ning Zhe searched through them and took out the woman's ID card from the wallet.

Name: Xia Yubing
Gender: Female
Nationality: Han
Born: June 1994, 08

……

"It's you." Ning Zhe compared Xia Chong's face in front of him with his ID photo and confirmed that they were the same person.

The Xia Chong in front of him had a rebellious Gothic makeup on her face, black lipstick, dark purple eyeshadow, and the hair on both sides of her ears was cut into a princess cut. She was very different from the quiet and slightly made-up Xia Yubing in her ID photo. To be honest, it was still quite difficult to recognize her.

"You, do you know me?" Xia Yubing supported her upper body with her hands on the ground with difficulty. There was still a hint of fear in her eyes when she looked at Ning Zhe. It seemed that she was scared of being beaten.

"I know you. Your aunt paid me to come here to rescue you. As for the friends who came in with you, I'd like to take them out as well if conditions permit." Ning Zhe said casually as he put Xia Yubing's personal belongings scattered on the ground back into his waist bag one by one.

"Help...?" Xia Yubing was a little confused.

However, she did not care about Ning Zhe's words. Instead, she clenched her fists, stared at the ferocious face of Ning Zhe, and asked, "Since you said my aunt paid you to come to me, didn't she show you my photo? Why did you recognize me only now?"

"With your face painted like this, no one can recognize you." Ning Zhe chuckled and handed the reorganized waist bag back to her: "And even if they recognize you, so what? I beat up my employer, do you have the guts to beat me up?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yubing clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and glared at Ning Zhe fiercely, showing her cowardice.

"Aren't you afraid that I will complain to my aunt when I get home and ask her not to give you the final payment?" Xia Yubing muttered in a low voice without giving up.

"Don't be afraid." Ning Zhe shook his head: "If you don't pay the final payment, I will kill you and your aunt together."

"..."

Xia Yubing was silent for a moment, and between feeling cowardly and being angry, she resolutely chose to feel cowardly and angry.

She didn't understand how there could be such a madman in modern society, running to this remote place in the middle of the night and beating up anyone he saw, and then talking a bunch of nonsense like a lunatic after beating them up. Was St. Elizabeths overloaded, or had a patient escaped from Arkham?
As he was thinking, the salty taste of blood soaked the root of his tongue. The feeling of nausea that he had not noticed when he was beaten before surged up his throat. Xia Yubing could not help but lower his head and dry heave, spitting out the blood in his mouth.

She was stunned just now, and only now did she remember that she seemed to have bitten off one of this man's fingers before.

I lowered my head and stole a few glances at Ning Zhe's left and right hands. I didn't see any signs of missing limbs, not even a trace of blood, let alone wounds. But I clearly bit off his finger just now, why is he like nothing happened?

Weird things happened one after another, and Xia Yubing became nervous. She fastened the belt that Ning Zhe had taken off back to her waist, held on to the wall next to her and tried to stand up, and asked tentatively:

"You said that my aunt paid you to come here... to save me, but I'm not in any danger and I don't need your help."

For Xia Yubing, the lunatic in front of her was the biggest danger. Before Ning Zhe suddenly appeared, the most serious injury she had suffered was a cat bite.

"Really?" Ning Zhe was quite interested in what Xia Yubing said.

It seems that I arrived just in time? Xia Yubing, who was trapped here, had not yet encountered any strange events, or had not had time to do so.

No, maybe it was just the right time to enter here, and further strange events have not happened yet.

"Tell me what you experienced here." Ning Zhe leaned on the windowsill on the street and looked up at the huge Buddha face without facial features bathed in moonlight in the distance.

"Tell me everything that happened from the time you entered this town until now, no matter how big or small it is. Try not to miss anything." Ning Zhe emphasized.

"Oh……"

Xia Yubing glanced at the gun in his hand, and mentally weighed the chances of her success in snatching the gun with her bare hands. She then smoothly admitted defeat: "After entering the town, I first walked towards the north of the town with Taxue in my arms..."

First, he took the program crew's car to the north gate of the town, then did the normal live broadcast, got frightened by walking in the snow and bit someone and then ran away, and found a statue of a toddler buried upside down in the ground on the street... The status bar of the phone showed no signal, and the program crew's phone was unreachable, but Jiang Han and other anchors' phones were reachable, but Tang Xin Xiao Ke and Shen Qing Ge didn't know why they didn't reply to the messages again.

Not much actually happened after Xia Yubing entered the town, so much so that it was a bit monotonous. This made Ning Zhe reaffirm some of his thoughts.

"It seems that I am indeed early." Ning Zhe shook his head and said, "I should have waited until you encountered the ghost before coming in. By then you should have been more obedient than now."

Xia Yubing gritted her teeth in hatred, this psychopath...

Ning Zhe didn't pay any attention to her complex eyes which were filled with anger, resentment, grievance, fear... all kinds of emotions. He was thinking about what Xia Yubing had just said.

Just in case, Ning Zhe forced Xia Yubing to repeat the same incident three times, and selectively believed the more consistent parts among the three slightly different statements.

For example, Jiang Han and three other anchors were able to keep in touch through mobile phones that showed no signal, but for some reason not long ago, they stopped replying to messages.

"It seems that you are lucky. Everyone else who came here with you has encountered something strange, except you." Ning Zhe said with a faint smile.

As if to confirm his statement, a buzzing vibration suddenly came from the summer insect bag.

I took out my phone and saw that the new message summary on the screen saver only showed a short line of text:

[Fishing Alone in a Cold River: Where are you? I seem to have seen a ghost! ]
