C85

I suddenly thought of when Ye Qianqian was in the hospital. I called Zhang Yang's mother and told her that I couldn't go tutoring her. My friend was injured, so I had to take care of her.

I grabbed Shen Tuo's arm and told him about this matter, "I was in a hurry yesterday and forgot about it. However, it could have been because I misheard."

Shen Tuo took out a cigarette and lit it up. As he walked, he frowned and said, "Do you think that Zhang Yang's mother's tone of voice is weird? Does she know Ye Qianqian?"

I shook my head. "I don't know, but when I called Zhang Yang's mom, I didn't tell her the name of my friend. Did I really hear wrongly?"

Shen Tuo exhaled a mouthful of smoke and said: "We'll have to investigate this and the neighbors."

As we talked, we had unknowingly arrived at Zhang Yang's house.

I came by the day before yesterday, when it was still drizzling, but I felt warm when Mama Zhang Yang invited me into his house, but now, even though the sun was shining brightly in the sky, just looking at this building from the outside made me feel creepy.

Shen Tuo took the information from me, found the person called Li Tie, and dialed his number. Very soon, a skinny, bald man who looked to be in his forties walked out from the building we were in.

Shen Ta showed his police ID, and the man looked at me and then at Shen Ta, asking if we were together.

Shen Tuo stretched out his hand towards me and said, "This is my assistant. He is here with me."

That Li Tie seemed to be relieved as he led us into the corridor.

When the Ling Dong community was being built, the developers seemed to want to save space. This corridor was very narrow, but correspondingly, since it was narrower, the use area of each house would increase. Therefore, the residents did not mind this corridor.

We followed him down the corridor, and when we got to the door of Zhang Yang's house, I saw a lot of paper ash on his doorstep. It seemed like it was left over from when the mages set up some formation outside his residence.

I suddenly thought of something and asked Li Tie, "Has Zhang Yang's family always been made up of them?"

"En!" Li Tie unexpectedly said in a very gentle tone, "The two of them moved in three years ago, and I even helped them move in. It's such a pity for Mama Zhang Yang, at such a young age, to actually find a heartless man and give birth to a child, that man ran away, alas."

From what I heard from Li Tie's words, it should be that he has a good relationship with this mother and son, or at the very least he should be very familiar with them, but did he just say that Zhang Yang's mother is that young?

I remember that Zhang Yang's mother should be a 40-50 year old aunt. Even if she was younger when she moved in three years ago, she shouldn't be so much younger!

I added, "Can you describe what Chang Yang's mother looks like?"

Li Tie thought for a moment and said, "She is about 1.6 meters tall. She is not tall, and she is quite thin. She came here in her twenties."

Twenty years old?

Impossible! Absolutely impossible! I broke out in a cold sweat.

The mother I saw was a middle-aged woman. She was a bit fat, about the same height as me, and my height was 1.67 meters!

I grabbed Shen Tuo and said, "The person I saw was not like that!"

Shen Tuo glanced at me and quickly understood what Li Tie meant when he asked him what his mother looked like. He asked, "What did you see?"

"About forty years old, slightly fat, about the same height as me."

Li Tie didn't understand what we were talking about and asked, "Who are you talking about?"

In the end, Shen Tuo didn't answer him and instead asked him, "Have you ever seen anyone else from Zhang Yang's family?"

Li Tie scratched his head and fell into deep thought.

Shen Tuo reminded from the side, saying: "It's a woman, around 40 years old. She's slightly fat, around 1.7 meters tall. Think about it."

After a long while, Li Tie still shook his head and said, "I've never seen them before. They usually live in seclusion and rarely leave work. I rarely see them during other times."

"What impression do you have of that boy Yang?" Shen Tuo said.

He spoke very carefully. He slightly bent his waist, revealing a black cat tattoo on his collarbone, and then took off his hair and leaned his head close to Shen Tuo, saying, "I'm telling you, when I saw that kid last night, he seemed to have just finished school. Aiyo, it's so late at night, how could it be that he just finished school? I knew he died with grievances. What is there here that cannot be let go of? He might be waiting for his mother! "

Bang!

Just as Li Tie finished his sentence, something fell down in the quiet corridor.

I jumped in fright, instinctively lowering my body to avoid Shen Ta's attack. Just as I caught sight of Li Tie from the corner of my eyes, I almost screamed out.

He saw a man who was originally fine being squeezed out of his skin in a flash.

Less than half a second after I discovered his change, Li Tie seemed to have recovered his composure, as he opened his bloody mouth and let out a shrill scream in the narrow corridor!

Amidst Li Tie's miserable shriek, I broke out in a white sweat!

Shen Tuo suddenly stretched out his arm to block my back. He spat out the cigarette butt that was stuck in his mouth and quickly pulled out a rune to block in front of Li Tie.

At this moment, the source of the falling object also showed signs of movement.

A cloud of black smoke gushed out from the corridor, and a human figure walked down the stairs while laughing in the smoke.

The laughter was especially high-pitched, and it had an indescribably sticky feeling to it.

Li Tie was still struggling in front of us. He stretched out his hands as if trying to stop the bleeding, but his skin had already been completely peeled off. If he touched his body with his hands, it would only make his wounds hurt even more!

However, it was his struggling and howling that finally woke me up from my initial shock.

I pushed Shen Tuo away and was about to run towards Li Tie, but when I reached Shen Tuo's side, he forcefully pulled me back. Shen Tuo roared, "You can't go!"

I became anxious as well. The short moment when I was distracted could be said to be a long time wasted on rescuing him. Right now, time is a race against time for his life. I naturally wanted to hurry up.

I flung Shen Ta's hand away. "He's still alive! You can't just stand by and watch us die! "

It's just that I was in too much of a hurry to save Li Tie, so I was very confident that I could deal with that shadow that appeared in the smoke. When he was dealing with the red-clothed resentful ghost, Shen Tuo had relied on his rune to suppress such a powerful evil spirit. Now, it was only a shadow, Shen Tuo would definitely be able to deal with it.

But as I thought about this, I completely forgot what Zishan had said to me.

I didn't even get close to Li Tie, but he actually rushed up himself and grabbed my arm. With a sudden burst of force, he wanted to pull me to his side.

At this moment, Shen Tuo, who was always behind me, suddenly seemed to have been hit by something heavy and crashed into my back. When I was struggling with Li Tie just now, I suddenly lost my balance and the three of us crashed into a wall on the stairs.

A sweet taste welled up in my throat, and my internal organs tightened as if they had been struck by something. I immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, almost fainting on the spot.

At this moment, Li Tie, who was screaming just now, suddenly stood up. He raised his leg high up and aimed it towards my upper body.

Fortunately, Shen Tuo had already stood up by then. With a kick, he sent the bloody Li Tie flying far away. After that, he quickly pulled me up from the ground.

I had lost two and a half souls, but I was still conscious.

The silhouette in the black smoke let out a high-pitched laugh again. "Yan Nuo, have you recovered from the wound on your arm?"

I was stunned, unable to react to what injury he was talking about. The shadow meowed suddenly, and my scalp went completely numb. I actually thought about the cat that injured me at the police station last night!

Shen Tuo took out another incantation and said: "Quickly open the door! "Get out!"

"Yes," I said, and turned quickly and ran back the way I had come. I remember that we weren't far from the door, and that it was open towards the outside. I didn't lock it when we came in, so if I rushed in I could break it open!

But before I could get far, a groan came from behind me, and then Shen Tuo knocked me to the ground at a speed even faster than my own. The two of us rolled again.

I wasn't so lucky this time. My head had started to bleed from the impact of the headbutt on a pipe in the doorway.

There was a sticky smell of blood on my face and my vision blackened. The figure that had always been hidden in the darkness finally appeared in my sight. My head buzzed!

The red-clothed vengeful spirit had a face of its own due to the body being soaked in water. However, what had happened to the ghost? He was just like Li Tie; bloodied without even an inch of skin, and his head was not a human head.

He actually had the head of a huge dead cat.

The cat's head had already rotted to the point that there wasn't much hair on it. The tusks, because of the rotten flesh on its mouth, were as long as a normal person's finger.

His eyes glowed green in the dim smoke, and as he spoke his mouth moved back and forth, his eyes rose and fell with him.

He came up to me little by little, licked a chunk of flesh from his tongue with both hands, and put it in his mouth.

Another thick stench of blood gushed out from the narrow corridor. My eyes that were still black just a moment ago actually started to clear up bit by bit!

Moreover, the pain from the injuries on his body that was hard to bear right now also disappeared in an instant.

The insects sleeping in my blood awaken in a thick smell of blood. They crawl through my veins, and I can feel the most primitive impulse in my body.

The cat-headed creature gradually changed shape in my eyes. It looked like a type of food that could be eaten. His whole body emitted a strange fragrance.

I struggled up from the ground with my weak body. There was almost no consciousness in my head, just a vague feeling that I was hungry.

That monstrosity couldn't see what was going on with me. His dark green eyes were filled with suspicion. I approached him step by step until I was close enough. Suddenly, I exerted strength in my legs and pounced towards him …
