Chapter 133 The Safe House with Thousand Faces
"Does this building look familiar to you?"
"It seems like something I saw in a movie."
"Kung Fu, it's the same mental hospital where Stephen Chow invited Fire Cloud Evil God to come out."
"You said so."
Han Ye stared blankly at the unfinished building shrouded in thick dark clouds.
"It's really similar."
Thick dark clouds are layered on top of each other, like a god exploring his funnel. Decaying unfinished buildings stand in a wasteland, and the abrupt steel bars are like the screws drilled out of Frankenstein's temples.
Brother Snoopy closed his mouth and pulled him.
"Don't look at it, street boy, the boss is gone, be careful of the whole family!"
"oh oh."
The two of them trotted along, following Chu Zihang.
They headed towards the unfinished building.
"By the way, why did you come together?"
The senior brother looked sideways at Han Ye.
"I know your Kassel campus style in advance. Why, I don't agree, I don't agree with you biting me!"
Han Ye shouted.
The senior brother ignored him and looked at Chu Zihang.
"Junior brother, look at him."
Chu Zihang did not look back.
"The principal agreed."
Brother Snoopy was stunned for a moment.
Han Ye made faces at him happily, and his high ponytail swayed happily from side to side.
"Your gloves."
The senior brother looked disgusted.
"It hasn't been washed for how many days. Is it dirty?"
"What do you know!"
Han Ye was arrogant.
"If you give me 10 million, I won't even sell these gloves."
"Tsk, ten million, just blow it."
Chu Zihang suddenly felt that he was the leader leading the two little monsters on the mountain patrol.
This requires Han and Ye to play gongs and drums each, take two steps and shout "The king asked me to patrol the mountain", which is really suitable for the occasion.
No one can guess what is going on in the mind of a paralyzed person.
Just like no one could have guessed that the big and muscular man walking across the street was playing the love cycle of Hanazawa Coriander in his headphones.
There is a barbed wire fence surrounding the unfinished building.
The sky was overcast and the cold wind howled. The three of them stood in front of the clanking iron wire door. Chu Zihang stood upright like a veteran about to go to the battlefield. Behind him were the two men waving flags and shouting.
"It's so cold."
Han Minion shuddered.
"Yeah yeah."
Shi Lao wrapped up his pajamas tightly.
Chu Zihang turned back silently and glanced at the two of them.
"Don't worry, go forward boldly!"
Brother Snoopy gave him a thumbs up, and his smile was so bright that the marketing director of a black toothpaste would kneel down and hug his thigh to ask for endorsement.
"I'm here to wean you off!"
Han Ye proudly slapped his chest.
"Um."
Chu Zihang turned around.
On the other side of the earphones, even without a camera and just listening to the sound, Susie could imagine the scene.
She covered her forehead in pain.
Su Qian felt that she could probably understand why Chu Zihang insisted on acting alone.
If I need to entrust my back to such a guy, I always feel that I will end up returning home with a box of express packages weighing four kilograms.
She shook her head, immediately regained her composure, put aside irrelevant emotions, and began to introduce the unfinished building to Chu Zihang and the others.
Yes, the three of them, considering the mobility factor, also provided headphones to Han Ye and his senior brother.
The unfinished buildings are located in the first developed areas of the city.
A few years ago, to be precise, it was about fifteen years ago, around the time of the millennium.
Under the guidance of the chief architect, the entire country began to make great strides forward. In addition to the magical circle along the coast, various cities also launched a series of construction plans.
It is no exaggeration to describe it as changing with each passing day.
Of course, the rolling era will always leave scars of one kind or another, and unfinished buildings are one of them.
It has been too long and the exact information is no longer available. From the analysis of the information currently available, it seems that the original developer wanted to build this area into an economic center with a large shopping mall and a series of supporting facilities.
Once completed, it will be no less prosperous than the Regent Hotel and will be another business card of the city displayed to the outside world.
Unfortunately, the developer's capital chain broke midway through the construction of the mall, and then ran away. The construction team could not find anyone, and the outstanding payments were lost.
I heard that this incident was quite a big deal back then, and one or two migrant workers died here because they couldn't pay their wages, but this is just a legend, and I don't know whether it is true or not.
There is also a saying that the so-called rupture of the developer's capital chain is an excuse to bluff people. The real reason is...the land is not clean.
When Su Qian introduced this place, Han Ye and Brother Snoopy were following the hero Chu with their eyes widened. The surrounding environment was windy and desolate. To describe it this way, this place was a direct one without changing anything. It is a feng shui treasure that can collect tickets to the haunted house by setting up a booth at the door. Zombies, ghosts and vampires are welcome to come.
"No... not clean!"
Han Ye's eyes widened nervously like a cat, and the slightest movement would cause him to look nervously.
"Hahaha, it's... really a good joke."
Brother Snoopy smiled as stiffly as an idol star who failed to undergo plastic surgery.
"It's not a joke."
Susie's tone was so rational that she could directly apply for the position of spokesperson for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"We have accurate information. People have indeed died in the unfinished building area."
Then, before Han and Ye could react, Su Qian added another dose of strong medicine.
"A rough estimate of the death toll is about thirty or more people."
"ah!"
Han Ye screamed.
"ah!"
Brother Snoopy followed closely behind.
Susie's nervous voice came.
"What's wrong, what's going on!"
Chu Zihang glanced at it.
"There is a cat."
Susie:......
There was a long silence in the headphones.
A silence heavier than death.
That's embarrassing.
Han Ye and his senior brother stared at the black cat squatting in the grass.
"What, it turns out to be a cat."
Han Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
"Yeah, yeah, it's scary."
Brother Snoopy also looked like he was surviving the disaster.
Chu Zihang stopped.
He looked into Black Cat's amber eyes.
Then I looked at the unfinished buildings.
Chu Zihang nodded and continued walking.
Han Ye poked the man with his arm.
"Hey, hey, hey, let me tell you."
"If I read it correctly, your junior brother was communicating with a cat just now."
Brother Snoopy also mysteriously raised his palms in front of his mouth.
"These are the elites of our executive department. Learn from them."
"oh oh."
Han Ye's face was full of admiration.
"It's really a convenient ability to be able to talk to pets. Is it possible to learn such a thing in Kassel? It's really amazing."
"That's that, my junior brother, what do you think?"
Chu Zihang stopped.
Han and Ye immediately separated, one looked at the dark clouds, the other stared at the ants, each thinking deeply.
"Have you forgotten that you are still wearing headphones?"
Chu Zihang said.
Two guys were petrified.
They heard Susie's gloating laughter.
Looking at each other and sighing, Han Ye and Brother Snoopy walked forward dejectedly.
Behind them, the black cat squatted solemnly, with a posture like the Sphinx in front of the Egyptian pyramids. Its amber eyes followed the three humans away, and finally disappeared into the unfinished building.
The black cat remained motionless.
As if transformed into a bronze statue.
Until a certain moment, a little girl's call sounded in the distance.
The black cat shook its ears, jumped up lightly, its streamlined muscles stretched and contracted, its tail swept through the air, and disappeared into the grass in a blink of an eye. When it reappeared, it was already outside the barbed wire fence.
The little girl with neat bangs looked left and right.
The black cat walked gracefully, and did not make soft and cute sounds like ordinary cats. Instead, it walked up to the girl and waited quietly.
"Xiao Hei!"
The girl called it in surprise.
"I sneaked here to play again, not good at all."
The girl knelt down and looked level with the black cat's eyes.
She managed to put on a fierce face, but after seeing the black cat, the rain finally passed.
The girl smiled brightly.
"Let's go home quickly."
She used a tone of discussion.
"You came here secretly. If mom finds out, she will definitely scold you again!"
The black cat shook its tail and turned around.
The girl looked back at the unfinished building with lingering fear.
Thinking of the legends about this place, the girl shrank her neck in fear. She turned her head back as fast as lightning and followed Xiao Hei home.
On the way, I met my mother who was going out.
"stop!"
The woman has a livid face all year round.
"This cat went there again!"
"No no!"
The girl shook her head like a rattle.
"Xiao Hei is very good. He just plays here and will never mess up..."
"stop!"
The woman had a stern voice all year round, her eyes widened, her mouth opened wide, and the expression on her face looked like a ghost on a mural.
The girl was frightened.
"can not say!"
"That place..."
"can not say!"
She pointed her finger at the girl's forehead.
"It will kill people!"
"Your brother!"
It's hard to tell whether the woman's voice is filled with resentment or fear.
But it reveals a downright weirdness.
"I just disobeyed and went there!"
The woman lowered her voice.
"Never came out again!"
The girl covered her mouth tightly, tears streaming down her face.
The black cat squatted on the low wall, looking down at the mother and daughter.
At a certain moment, those amber eyes looked in the direction of the unfinished building.
"I'm really just curious."
Han Ye was embarrassed to explain to Chu Zihang.
"By the way, can you really communicate with cats?"
"Speech spirit like animal companions or something."
Chu Zihang thought for a while.
"There is no record in the periodic table."
"What?"
"The voice of our animal companions."
"oh oh."
Han Ye waved his hand.
"I'm just giving you an example. Animal companions are settings in game novels, so it's normal that they are not included in the Periodic Table of Word Spirits."
Chu Zihang nodded.
"Hey, let's talk about it."
Han Ye asked him.
"What's with that black cat?"
Chu Zihang walked towards the unfinished building.
"It's scared."
"What?"
Han Ye scratched his head in confusion.
Brother Snoopy seemed to have some realization.
"You mean, the black cat is afraid of this building."
"Um."
Chu Zihang glanced at him.
The man returned the look with triumph.
"I thought you knew."
Chu Zihang said to Han Ye.
"All the weirdness and urban legends of this world."
"It's all hybrids and dragons behind it."
"This should be common sense."
Han Ye just touched the back of his head and smiled stupidly.
Chu Zihang didn't say too much on this topic.
"Animals have very keen intuition, and they can often detect details that humans ignore."
"The ancients also summarized the knowledge of using the abnormal behavior of animals to predict the coming danger."
"The black cat just now was afraid of this building."
Chu Zihang glanced at the hall, his eyes paused on the mottled floor tiles, as if he had discovered something, and he chose a direction to move forward.
"Oh, that's it."
Han Ye nodded with a "you are so awesome" look on his face.
Brother Snoopy touched his prickly stubble.
"That said, we're in the right place."
Susie continued her unfinished introduction.
"Among the people who disappeared in the unfinished building, four were workers from the construction team back then, and the rest were mainly nearby residents and homeless people."
"its not right."
Han Ye was puzzled.
"So many people have had accidents, but there's no news at all."
"The mixed-race society follows the ancient Abrahamic blood contract and has been carefully hiding itself since thousands of years ago. Although countries around the world have some speculation about our existence, so far, no one has truly confirmed that hybrids and dragons The presence."
"It sounds like we're the kind of weirdos who like to wear tights and go out in the dark."
Han Ye muttered.
No one paid any attention to him.
Susie said.
"The local government has files recording abnormal events, similar to unfinished buildings, so they classified them as abnormal events and sealed them."
"So to say."
Brother Snoopy swallowed.
"At least thirty people are buried here."
"Isn't that a haunted house?"
Han Ye exclaimed.
The two of them observed the surroundings with all their concentration, not missing any movement, for fear that something rotten would jump out from any corner and startle people.
"By the way, that, Master Chu."
Han Ye said.
"Where are you going?"
"Look at the ground."
"Um?"
Han Ye lowered his head and looked left and right, his eyes full of confusion.
"Ground, what's wrong?"
Brother Snoopy snorted strangely.
"This is?"
He pondered for a moment, then glanced back and forth, as if comparing.
"That's right."
"What...what happened?"
Han Ye asked curiously with his eyes widened.
"Look at this."
The man pointed to a floor tile.
"And this."
He pointed to another tile.
Han Ye opened his eyes like a cat.
"Um……"
He scratched his head.
"Is there... any problem?"
"Stupid!"
Brother Snoopy explained.
"Look carefully at the dust. Didn't you find something wrong with the dust in these two areas?"
After a while, Han Ye suddenly realized and exclaimed.
"Really."
Comparing the two places pointed out by Brother Snoopy, as long as you look carefully, it is not difficult to see the difference in dust between the two.
"Looks like."
The senior brother pondered.
"Someone has been here recently."
"Is he the wanderer you mentioned earlier?"
"more than."
Senior brother added.
"If you look carefully, these marks wouldn't be so messy if only one person were there."
"Um."
It was Chu Zihang who spoke.
The two people who were analyzing the dust on the ground raised their heads.
I heard Chu Zihang say.
"Thousand Faces."
The two looked solemn.
Before coming, they had read the target's information.
On hand are the lives of four elite Kassel commissioners.
To deal with this A-level dangerous hybrid, you must be very alert.
"Look."
The senior brother pinched a handful of dust on the ground and sniffed it.
He looked at Chu Zihang and Han Ye.
"New, no more than two hours."
"Are you sure he's still in there?"
Han Ye asked quietly.
Brother Snoopy shook his head regretfully.
"I have limited understanding of the direction of trace science."
"correct."
He asked Chu Zihang.
"I heard that there is a junior high school student in recent years who is very good at profiling. Can you ask her to help me remotely?"
"Susie."
Chu Zihang said.
"Roger, wait a moment."
Very quickly, only about three minutes.
"Sorry, couldn't get in touch."
Susie was helpless.
"Nono went to the Amazon rain to play with cannibals alone. It seemed that he was writing a report on summer vacation activities. He lost contact for seven days. I heard that Caesar was about to rush in with his sand eagle to fish for people."
Han Ye was stunned for a while.
"I feel like there's something wrong with your summer vacation activities."
Brother Snoopy was also stunned.
"Please remove the word "we", thank you."
Chu Zihang glanced at them.
"be prepared."
The three of them stood in front of the elevator.
"The traces end here, and the front is gone."
Brother Snoopy said.
"Is this it?"
He and Chu Zihang studied elevators.
Han Ye was obviously exhausted. He stumbled back with a slumped face and leaned back against the wall.
"No response."
Brother Snoopy pressed the button again and again.
The display screen didn't light up and the elevator didn't move.
"Or is there a secret door?"
"organ?"
He muttered strangely to himself.
"It doesn't make sense. Qianmian is just a hybrid. How could he have built a safe house with a secret door just after he arrived here?"
He shook his head and didn't think much about it.
"We have to use stupid methods."
He put his ear against the wall and tapped it inch by inch, listening for feedback.
"It would be nice if the profiling school girl was here."
He sighed.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong.
Senior brother looked at Chu Zihang strangely.
"Hey, junior brother, why are you staying still?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a slight vibration came.
It was also accompanied by someone yelling.
""Ahhh!
Han Ye danced and danced trying to maintain his balance.
Behind him, the old and yellowed wall slowly separated to both sides.
Chu Zihang grabbed Han Ye's flapping hand and pulled him to stand still.
"What a risk, what a risk!"
Han Zhiye patted his chest with lingering fear.
"Almost fell."
He found Brother Snoopy coming over and looking at him up and down with a surprised look on his face.
Han Ye rubbed his head in embarrassment.
"What...what happened?"
Senior brother clicked his tongue twice.
"You kid, okay."
"You found the secret door in no time."
"Hey Hey."
Han Ye laughed twice.
"Luck, luck, luck."
"I couldn't tell what a secret door was, so I was lazy and leaned against the wall. Who knew the wall would open on its own?"
"That's okay too!"
The senior brother curled his lips.
"Let me tell you, how about buying lottery tickets for me when you go out later?"
"We're on a mission, let's talk about it after we get out."
"Hey, look at how scared you are, relax, relax, I'm here, senior brother, so why can't a thousand faces be solved with one sword?"
The two of them hugged each other and exchanged glances.
Chu Zihang glanced at Han Ye without any trace.
He turned his attention to the secret door again.
A staircase can be seen leading downwards steeply to no one knows where.
"Enter the passage and prepare yourself."
"yes!"
Han and Ye replied.
"President, do you need support?"
Susie asked.
Chu Zihang thought for a moment.
"Stand by."
"receive."
