Chapter 105

Chapter 102

Skin and flesh completely fell off, skeleton turned into fine powder.

Old Granny Yu was thoroughly suppressed and killed.

That year, the Dragon King started it, now Li Zhuoyuan came to finish it.

She died, probably feeling very stifled.

Before complete recovery and while completely crazy, she barely put up a fight. In the early stage, she was like a mad bull, in the later stage, like a defeated dog.

But she really didn't deserve much sympathy.

Li Zhuoyuan wouldn't feel the slightest bit that he had won unfairly.

In the beginning, she was the one carrying two curse lanterns specially made for A Li, standing at the threshold outside.

Something that only bullies children, what qualifications does it have to talk about fairness or not? It really thinks it's something.

Li Zhuoyuan picked up a tree branch and started to poke at Old Granny Yu's corpse ash.

He didn't care if anything dropped, just the process of poking was a kind of enjoyment and reward.

"Bang!"

Baihe Tongzi hit the old woman's head with one punch, thoroughly ending her last breath.

It was intentional.

It controlled the rhythm, intentionally letting the old woman walk one step late so she could see Old Granny Yu's end.

At this moment, the boy faced Li Zhuoyuan, looking at his actions, his eyes once again showing contempt, as if he hadn't expected him to still do such low-level things.

Li Zhuoyuan simply ignored It, continuing to enjoy his own corpse-looting pleasure.

Every emotion that could arise, to the boy, was very precious, and it was this kind of happy positive emotion.

He could quickly learn many things, but these emotions and feelings, he had worked hard for a long time, and could only experience them but could not replicate them himself.

That kind of thing with no inner essence, only an outer shell, is called performance.

"Hmm?"

Li Zhuoyuan actually poked something out.

Hidden under layer upon layer of thick corpse ash, hooked out, it was a piece of bone, the size and shape of a chess piece, ancient and simple in material, round, with uniform concave and convex bone joints around it, extremely symmetrical and beautiful.

Li Zhuoyuan took out a self-drawn talisman paper from his pocket.

The talisman papers drawn by A Li all had targeted effects, the ones drawn by the boy himself were more like pH test papers.

Fortunately, it was really sensitive.

He put the talisman paper on that piece of bone, and the talisman paper did not change color.

Old Granny Yu was really dead, no accidents, no remnants.

Reaching out to touch it, he could feel a clear smooth slippery surface, as if it had some characteristic that could amplify emotions, because after touching it, Li Zhuoyuan's pleasure increased a bit.

This was real efficacy, absolutely not some psychological effect, because the boy was missing this function.

Li Zhuoyuan wrapped this piece of bone and put it in his pocket.

After going back, he could give it to A Li, use it as crafting material for the girl, and also consider it helping the ancestors of the Qin and Liu families reduce their burden.

Turning sideways, facing the reservoir, squatting down, Li Zhuoyuan started to wash his hands, then cupped a handful of water to his face and started to wash his face.

"Huff..."

Comfortable.

Although he wasn't exhausted, he was indeed tired.

The moonlight reflected on the water surface, and Baihe Tongzi appeared beside him.

He knew It was very angry, but he really didn't care.

Now, he was formally walking the river, carrying the inheritance of the Qin and Liu families, representing the Heavenly Way suppressing evil.

It wasn't that night on the school playground, at that time, It could still use the excuse of him raising ghosts to attack him.

Now, if It dared to do so, It would have to risk losing everything It currently had. The Heavenly Way was watching.

Officially established identity, how precious, needed to be cherished.

Li Zhuoyuan shook off the water droplets from his hands, turned towards Baihe Tongzi, the boy lowered his head slightly, his vertical pupils staring intently at Li Zhuoyuan, seemingly giving a warning.

"Sorry, this time was an accident, it won't happen next time."

The boy heard the words and straightened up again.

It was clear that there were some things It couldn't do. Since the boy in front had changed his previous attitude, It should also know when to stop and save face.

But in fact, the meaning inside Li Zhuoyuan's words was that this time the job was done too roughly, the reason being that as a temporary operator, Zhuang Zhuang was not familiar with the business.

Next time, he would personally operate it, and he could definitely increase it step by step, achieving sustainable fishing to dry up the pond.

Of course, the premise was that Lin Shuyou could still be saved.

Li Zhuoyuan reached out and first pulled out the four broken evil talisman needles.

The talisman papers had already changed color, and the needle tips had already rusted, they couldn't be recycled and used again, so they were simply discarded directly.

When pulling out the sealing talisman needle, Li Zhuoyuan hesitated for a moment, but seeing Tan Wenbin approaching in the distance, he no longer hesitated and pulled it out directly.

In an instant, the vertical pupils in Lin Shuyou's eyes dissipated, his whole body limp on the ground, like a punctured balloon quickly deflating.

The good news was that he no longer bled out; the bad news was that there wasn't much blood left in his body.

His skin color showed extremely serious waxy yellow. Generally, when old people in the family appear in this situation, if the family still doesn't prepare white cloth and black gauze, they will be called unfilial by relatives and neighbors, making the old people uneasy when they pass away.

Tan Wenbin ran over panting, seeing Lin Shuyou already like this, thought the person was already gone.

"Is he gone?"

Li Zhuoyuan said lightly: "Not yet."

"Does that mean he's about to?"

Li Zhuoyuan pulled up Lin Shuyou's sleeve and saw two red ropes on his wrist.

"He won't die, someone is helping him pray."

Tan Wenbin said surprisingly: "Is praying really useful?"

"Does he have a tattoo on his body?"

"Yes, I saw it last time when I sent him to the medical room to change clothes. It's below his ribs near his belly button, a mask is drawn. I still said he looked wooden and honest, didn't expect he was quite interesting in private. He told me it was tattooed by his grandfather personally, and it hurt him for a long time when it was tattooed."

"Hmm, then that's right. Not only praying, but when suffering from illness and disaster, as long as he doesn't die in one breath, the other end still has a chance to extend his life."

"So powerful, can still extend life?"

"It should be a characteristic of the Wuguan Jiangjun lineage. They are indeed too prone to accidents."

Li Zhuoyuan felt that those who were invited down were all fighting according to their own style, not caring too much about the physical condition of the medium. Over time, this also forced the medium to research some life-saving and life-extending methods.

However, under the current situation, it seemed a bit unsustainable.

Li Zhuoyuan's eyes condensed, his fingertip first grabbed the two red ropes on Lin Shuyou's wrist, gently rubbed them, and the two red ropes became brighter.

"Binbin Ge, roll up his upper clothes."

"Okay."

Lin Shuyou's upper clothes were rolled up, revealing a damaged mask above his belly button.

Li Zhuoyuan pressed his fingertip down, completing the mask following the strokes. His fingertip actually had no pigment, but as he traced, the color of the mask in its original position dimmed, being shared into the cracks, considered as tearing down one wall to mend another.

Although the overall color became much lighter, it was indeed mended and usable.

After doing this, although Lin Shuyou's face was still waxy yellow like someone seriously ill, his breathing finally recovered smoothly.

Li Zhuoyuan went back to the reservoir edge to wash his hands again, and asked: "Binbin Ge, can you still carry a person?"

"No problem."

Tan Wenbin was already very tired tonight, but at this time, if he didn't carry him, would he let Xiao Yuan Ge carry him?

Biting his teeth, Tan Wenbin grabbed him with both hands, carrying Lin Shuyou on his back. Although he staggered a bit, he managed to stay steady.

The three of them walked slowly all the way back to the location of the acrobatic troupe.

Inside the inner formation, those people were still trapped there.

The outer formation was still there, which could effectively prevent the movements here from spreading earlier, and could also prevent unrelated people from approaching.

Many ghost wall stories circulating in society are about encountering them when going to remote places at midnight. Sometimes it's not actually encountering dirty things, but you mistakenly entered a formation just set up by someone.

Li Zhuoyuan originally came back to get his bag, but as soon as he picked it up, he sensed movement in front.

"Thud."

Tan Wenbin directly threw Lin Shuyou to the ground.

Then he picked up the Yellow River shovel and slowly approached.

He suspected it was a fish that escaped the net from inside the acrobatic troupe, who didn't step into the formation, or under various coincidences, managed to escape from the formation.

This time, there was no need to show mercy. Anyway, they were a human trafficking gang, killing them was just killing them.

But as soon as he pushed aside the bushes in front, a little boy just poked his head out, a pair of big eyes staring at Tan Wenbin holding up the shovel.

"Eh, it's a child?"

Tan Wenbin put down the shovel.

Liangliang was scared by Tan Wenbin. At this time, he instinctively cast his gaze at the younger Li Zhuoyuan. He felt that the big brother in front was fierce, and that little brother must be very gentle.

"Brother, save my dad, my dad is inside, my dad is inside."

Li Zhuoyuan didn't pay attention to him, and took care of tidying his backpack.

Tan Wenbin asked: "Little friend, where is your dad?"

"There." Liangliang pointed to the acrobatic troupe's supplies tent, "My dad used his teeth to help me bite open the rope, he let me run."

"Xiao Yuan Ge, he doesn't seem to be an accomplice of the human traffickers, want to help a bit?"

"Binbin Ge, as long as you're happy, that's fine."

Li Zhuoyuan took out a can of Jianlibao from his backpack, opened it, and drank it.

Tan Wenbin, holding the shovel, led Liangliang to the supplies tent. Lifting the curtain, he saw extremely exaggerated fighting traces inside. No need to guess, it must have been left by Baihe Tongzi and the old woman.

There was a batch of iron cages inside, the cages were already deformed, a man with his hands and feet tied, his mouth full of blood, lying on the ground.

The rope used to tie the children was not very thick or tight, so he could use his teeth to bite it open, but the rope on his own body was not something a child could help with, and he also didn't dare to let the child stay here, he kept urging the child to run quickly.

Tan Wenbin squatted down, using the sharp edge of the Yellow River shovel, helped him cut open the rope.

"Dad, Dad." Liangliang pounced to Xu Dong's front.

"Liangliang, didn't I tell you to leave?"

"Dad, I brought Binbin Ge to save you."

"Are the police here?" Xu Dong sighed a long breath, "Police comrade, I have committed a sin."

"Wait until the real police come, then you tell them."

After helping the person untie the rope, Tan Wenbin no longer delayed, went back to find Yuanzi Ge, and left here with Yuanzi Ge.

Passing by the roadside phone booth, Binbin first put Lin Shuyou down, letting him lean against the phone booth pillar and sit, then he walked in and called his dad's pager.

After hanging up the phone, Tan Wenbin said to Li Zhuoyuan: "Xiao Yuan Ge, give me the backpack to carry."

At this time, Li Zhuoyuan was carrying a large backpack, his right hand carrying Lin Shuyou's bag, and his left hand still holding a bottle of half-drunk Jianlibao.

"No need, I can carry it."

From here, you could also see that the boy's body foundation had already been laid.

However, usually with Runsheng there, he didn't need to do any work, and he also preferred to be on Runsheng's back, because it was more effort-saving.

"It's really not tiring to carry a person, it's like resting, hehe, if you're tired from carrying a person, then what kind of corpse fisher are you?"

Tan Wenbin said as he tried to take the bag from Li Zhuoyuan.

At this time, Lin Shuyou, who was originally sitting leaning against the phone booth pillar, tilted and fell down. There just happened to be a stone on the road, and with a "thud", his head directly hit it.

Li Zhuoyuan pointed the Jianlibao at Lin Shuyou and said: "Binbin Ge, you should take good care of him, don't let them exhaust their efforts over there performing rituals to extend his life, and you kill him here."

"Oh, right, right, right."

Tan Wenbin propped Lin Shuyou up properly again, and at the same time kicked away the stone that dared to actively attack Lin Shuyou.

"I think, it won't be long before people from Lin Shuyou's hometown come to the school."

"Xiao Yuan Ge, I know."

Lin Shuyou suffered two serious injuries in a short time, this time even more absurd and exaggerated.

His hometown will definitely send people over to check the situation afterwards.

It is estimated that side is also puzzled, how could their child come to university here and have to fight against evil every three or five days? What kind of dragon pool tiger den is this Jinling City?

Li Zhuoyuan's meaning was to let Tan Wenbin stabilize Lin Shuyou and deal with the people from his hometown, so as not to cause trouble.

Tan Wenbin indicated that he understood and would be responsible for "taking care" of him.

Although Lin Shuyou was in a coma and couldn't hear, there was no point in saying some things too clearly.

However, this matter was not a big problem. Li Zhuoyuan believed that Tan Wenbin could handle that side well, and the simple Lin Shuyou was also quite easy to coax. It is estimated that when he wakes up, his first sentence will not be a question, but self-blame: Sorry, it's my fault, I didn't solve that old woman in time.

"Ding ling ling!"

The phone in the phone booth rang. It was Tan Yunlong calling back after receiving the pager.

Tan Wenbin went in to answer the phone again: "Hello, may I ask if you are Officer Tan?"

"It's your dad."

"Officer Tan, we are talking about serious matters, please be a bit more serious."

"Name."

"Tan Wenbin."

"Gender."

"Male."

"Family situation."

"Raised by my mother."

"Heh."

Tan Wenbin covered the microphone and shouted to Li Zhuoyuan standing outside: "My dad is drinking, he drank quite a lot."

Tan Yunlong was indeed drinking. It was a celebration banquet held for him by the department, and he drank a lot.

At this time, Tan Wenbin heard continuous slapping sounds from the other end of the phone.

Then, the voice inside the phone returned to its usual calm style: "Comrade Tan Wenbin, have you found the location of the criminal gang of Old Granny Yu?"

"Yes, Officer Tan, in Tong'an Town, at the acrobatic troupe station in the western suburbs square. This entire acrobatic troupe, from top to bottom, are human traffickers."

"Good, I know."

The other end of the phone hung up, Tan Wenbin shrugged his shoulders, walked out of the phone booth, and just saw Lin Shuyou falling to the other side. He stepped forward and kicked the stone on the ground away.

"Bang!"

Lin Shuyou's head just hit the ground.

"Phew, Xiao Yuan Ge, was my reaction fast this time?"

"Why didn't you just support him?"

"Ah..."

"You're tired, quickly take a taxi back and rest well."

"Xiao Yuan Ge, we really need to get our own car, even a second-hand one."

Taking a taxi in the suburbs late at night is really inconvenient.

"You go get your driving license first."

"Oh right, I really forgot this, then I'll go get it first. Right, Xiao Yuan Ge, do those formations need to be dealt with?"

"No need, the effect will dissipate just before dawn, and by that time the police will definitely have arrived."

"But if my dad and them get trapped in, then..."

"They won't. With that little residual formation power, a police badge will break it."

"Does it still have this effect?"

"Wuguan Jiangjun, to put it plainly, aren't they also the police station of the underworld?"

"Eh, the car is here, good luck today."

The taxi came and stopped by the side of the road. Rolling down the window, it was actually the driver who sent them over at noon.

"Hey, it's really you."

"Maybe not, it's not a coincidence, it's all fate. Pay attention to having a beginning and an end, so you can be prosperous for a long time, Master, is that right?"

Tan Wenbin saw that the driver was off work and going home. He said his home was in this town, so he had to stop him in advance.

The driver's face clearly showed a difficult expression, but considering Tan Wenbin's auspicious words, he also waved his hand: "Okay, get on, I'll send you back to school. We won't use the meter."

"Okay, then we won't use the meter. However much it cost to come during the day, we'll pay that much to go back in the evening."

"That's not what I meant..."

"Then, Master, you mean to send us back for free? That's fine too."

"Then just the original price, the daytime original price."

There were few cars in the evening, and the taxi sped all the way, finally dropping the three people at the school gate. Tan Wenbin paid the fare.

The driver counted a bit and said: "Alas, I have to go back empty."

After saying that, the driver restarted the car. Just as he started, whether it was an operation mistake, being absent-minded, or the car had a problem, he actually rushed directly onto the flower bed, the front of the car high up.

The movement was a bit big, and the school gate security also came out to help.

Tan Wenbin opened his mouth: "Xiao Yuan Ge, is it because he really shouldn't have collected our fare?"

The driver turned his head, he would bring his child to see the acrobatic troupe performance tomorrow. If Li Zhuoyuan and others hadn't solved it tonight, then his smart son would have been at great risk of being abducted tomorrow.

This payback, if it couldn't be returned properly, then it would be lost in other aspects.

When children break bowls and dishes, old people will recite "broken, broken, safe," for this reason too.

"Perhaps."

Tan Wenbin continued: "But he took us back with the meter normally, which is already considered very good. It's too difficult for normal people who know how to do this."

Li Zhuoyuan: "So in reality, who can always be prosperous?"

After the boy finished speaking, he just thought of his Great-grandfather.

Walking into the campus, they came to the dormitory building downstairs, the new dorm aunt had already locked the door.

"Xiao Yuan Ge, I'll climb in."

"No need, anyway, it's almost dawn. You send Lin Shuyou to the medical room, I'll go there to sleep."

"Okay."

Tan Wenbin carried Lin Shuyou towards the medical room, while Li Zhuoyuan carried the big and small bags towards the family building.

Pushing open the yard door, it was very quiet inside.

Until Li Zhuoyuan walked to the front of the floor-to-ceiling window, there was no movement inside.

The girl was not as before, actively opening the window and standing there barefoot.

The floor-to-ceiling window was not locked, Li Zhuoyuan gently opened it and walked in.

The girl was lying on the bed, sleeping.

Li Zhuoyuan stood by the bed and borrowed the incoming moonlight, watching for a while.

The quilt was on the side.

Li Zhuoyuan reached out and picked up the quilt, feeling the residual warmth inside, knowing that the girl had originally covered the quilt, and just now she had also gotten up and thought of opening the window to welcome herself as usual.

But she remembered what he had said, so she lay back down and pretended to sleep.

It was just this quilt, she had folded it and covered her stomach according to the boy's habit, it was already too late to refold it at that time.

After Li Zhuoyuan folded the quilt properly, he gently covered it on the girl's stomach.

Then he put all the bags down, lay on the carpet under the bed, and closed his eyes.

He was tired, he wanted to sleep.

Old Granny Yu being solved in advance meant that he would have a period of stability next, and could sleep wholeheartedly.

After a while, the girl slowly sat up, carefully lifted up the quilt folded by the boy for herself, and put it aside.

Then she turned sideways and came to the edge of the bed, supporting her chin with her left hand, just looking at the boy sleeping on the carpet like this.

The moonlight also sprinkled on his body, as if dyeing it with a layer of glow.

As for the stars, they were all in the girl's eyes.

……

Police cars were dispatched on a large scale, entering the western suburbs of Tong'an Town. There were also many green trucks carrying armed police with guns.

First, they completed the surrounding, then conducted the raid and capture.

The whole process was much smoother than imagined.

Because all the acrobatic troupe members were sitting in their original places waiting to be captured, one by one they were even more wilted than grasshoppers after autumn, completely unable to jump.

The entire acrobatic troupe, except for the old woman and the soft sister, the rest were all ordinary people, genuine human traffickers.

Therefore, many people in the "ghost wall" had already shown symptoms of mental collapse. Seeing the police rushing to their front, they were like seeing "saviors", crying while voluntarily confessing their crimes.

Tan Yunlong stood by the police car and lit a cigarette. He was very sleepy now, trying to stay strong.

Because he had to leave tomorrow morning, he had just let go and drank a bit of alcohol. Who knew something else would happen?

At the celebration banquet, the leader had praised his excellent performance, saying he had continuously solved cold cases at his new post, and asked everyone to learn from him.

When he received the pager and went out to make a call to assemble everyone for dispatch, the leader himself was surprised, actually saying: "Going to solve another case?"

He didn't think he was being that conspicuous, but who called his son, who kept calling non-stop, lighting up his old man like a bulb.

"Team Tan, a corpse was found inside that performance shed."

"Male or female corpse?"

"I... I can't tell."

"Take me to see."

Tan Yunlong walked into the performance shed and saw the corpse in a very strange posture, flesh and bone separated.

And the part of the human flesh was obviously beaten over a long period and over a large area, already completely bloody and blurry.

Tan Yunlong walked closer to observe a bit, and said: "It's a female corpse."

Xiao Zhou on the side asked curiously: "How was this done?"

"Smashed with stones."

"Ah?"

Tan Yunlong pointed to the large amount of blood-stained stones near the corpse.

Xiao Zhou smacked his tongue: "What a huge grudge this is, still smashing after the person is dead."

"Unless the murderer rearranged the scene after killing, otherwise looking at the distribution of stones on the ground and the fresh blood traces on the floor, when it was being smashed, the dead person should still have been alive, she was still moving."

"Smashed with so many stones and still not dead, isn't this dead person too absurd?"

"Protect the scene first."

Tan Yunlong and others walked out of the performance shed. Outside, the armed police were just pressing the acrobatic troupe members onto the car one by one.

Officer Xiao Yun from the same department asked curiously: "Team Tan, how did you know this was a human trafficking group?"

"My son is studying at university in Jinling."

Everyone was originally in the same office, now all in Tan Yunlong's team, and they all felt this opening was a bit familiar.

Tan Yunlong continued: "You've all seen Binbin, he even brought you breakfast last time he came to our office. He came here to play with a classmate today and saw that this acrobatic troupe wasn't right, so he told me."

Everyone nodded.

Only Xiao Zhou, perhaps because he had drunk too much alcohol, actually dared to say boldly: "Team Tan, it's your son again... I don't quite believe it."

All police officers, working in this line, are not that easy to fool, they just didn't dare to say it before.

At this time, an armed police officer walked over and pointed to a man and a child standing in the distance and said: "That person wants to surrender."

Xiao Zhou: "Also a human trafficker?"

"No, he said he originally wanted to come here to sell his son, but he regretted it and was refused when he wanted his son back. The other side beat him, then locked him and his son together in a cage. The little child said it was a brother called Binbin who saved them."

Everyone heard the words, and their expressions all changed. It was actually like this, Team Tan wasn't lying.

Xiao Zhou immediately said: "Team Tan, I was wrong."

"Hehe, no matter."

Tan Yunlong waved his hand, showing an expression of: see, I told you it's a fact.

But what he was thinking was: How could this brat's hands and feet be so unclean this time, even saving people was seen. Then he has to go to the police station to go through the procedure, don't delay Xiao Yuan's matter.

————

This chapter is seven thousand words, plus the chapter from noon, today is also considered an update of fourteen or fifteen thousand words. Mainly, the daily update base word count is already ten thousand, and adding more is just more difficult. My coding speed is not fast, and I still need to think about adding some fun points and so on, so I need to spend more time finding the feeling. So I didn't separate the original ten thousand words into two chapters, please understand everyone.

Tomorrow's side story ending plot, I will write a bit more.

Finally, asking for monthly tickets again, I will work hard to code more!
