Chapter 128 Secret (nineteen)

As an ordinary small county town, Funan County has a small population, a moderate economy, and a slow pace of life. On weekdays, people walk on the road with local vehicles, and everyone is very undisciplined.

But this time, Ji Mingxia clearly felt that the entire county seemed to be in a state of tension.

He and Yu Ning came here by taxi using a taxi app. When taking a taxi, Ji Mingxia only checked the license plate and made sure that it was safe and then got in the car. Ji Mingxia didn't know until they entered Funan County and their car was stopped. , the car I was riding in was from another province.

The entire urban area of ​​Funan County was under martial law, and all foreign vehicles were inspected very strictly.

Although it is not clear that outsiders are not allowed to enter, just sticking the car outside to go through the procedure will persuade countless people who come to join in the fun.

When their car stopped in line, Ji Mingxia found that there were many vehicles parked around. Some people were impatient. They got out of the car, more or less with some equipment on their hands. It was not ordinary at first glance. Residents, most likely journalists, photographers and other occupations.

Ke Chengxuan is a public figure, and an accident at the hotel where he is staying can easily attract the attention of the public, especially media workers, who must rush to the scene to report as soon as possible.

It is understandable for Funan County to control the population entering the county for the sake of safety.

The speed of online information dissemination is extremely wide these days, and it can offend any profession, except the journalists and the media.

It stands to reason that the person in charge of public relations in Funan County cannot fail to understand this...

Thinking like this, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning happened to be checked in front of the car.

When they saw Yu Ning's face, the staff was stunned for a moment, and apparently recognized him immediately.

"Are you students who came back from the New Year's Day holiday?" the staff asked directly.

Ji Mingxia nodded immediately.

After the staff made a simple registration, they were released directly and quickly without embarrassing them.

After finally entering Funan County, he thought he could rush to the hotel as soon as possible, but when he got closer to the center of the county, Ji Mingxia suddenly realized that his thoughts were still too naive.

"The road ahead is blocked, everyone is going around the road. I can't drive this car into your destination." The driver's elder brother looked ahead and turned to Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia.

Ji Mingxia heard the words and glanced forward.

The incident hotel is very close to Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning's high school, right in the center of the county.

Ji Mingxia originally thought that only the vicinity of the hotel was blocked, but he did not expect that the blockade was much wider than expected.

Not even close to the central area, not even seeing the appearance of the hotel, it is impossible to pass.

Because the center was blocked, it caused great inconvenience for residents to travel. At this time, other roads were also particularly congested, and the faces of people who came and went all had an anxious look.

Ji Mingxia said: "Then stop by the side of the road, it's troublesome."

After so much tossing, it was already afternoon.

Ji Mingxia thought about it, took a look at Ke Chengxuan's situation from a distance and left, but he didn't expect to go all the way to the checkpoint, and now he can't even see the shadow of the hotel.

They rushed out in the morning and only had breakfast. Thinking of this, Ji Mingxia immediately pulled Yu Ning to a nearby restaurant.

At this time, the peak meal period had already been missed. Apart from Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning, only the owner and his wife were left cleaning the table.

After Ji Mingxia ordered two bowls of noodles, he took the opportunity to start inquiring.

The proprietress looked at him cautiously at first, until she found out that Ji Mingxia can speak the local dialect, and gradually relaxed: "So you are local students."

This is the second time that Ji Mingxia has felt that Funan County is vigilant against the outside world.

He immediately said obediently: "Yes, we were studying in that school before. We originally thought that only the hotel was blocked, but I didn't expect that even the school would not be allowed to enter."

"School..." The proprietress sighed when she heard it. "In the short term, I'm afraid I won't be able to get in. I guess classes won't start until at least the next semester."

Ji Mingxia was taken aback: "Why?"

Wasn't the accident at the hotel, why didn't even the school let you in?

Ji Mingxia's surprised expression clearly gave the proprietress a great sense of accomplishment. She deliberately sold her off and said to Ji Mingxia in a low voice, "When you just came in from outside, it wasn't easy to enter, right?"

Ji Mingxia nodded.

The proprietress said again: "I didn't even see the appearance of the accident hotel, so I was stopped?"

Ji Mingxia nodded again.

"That's right, because this matter is not easy." The proprietress said.

"Tell me now, it's killing me." Ji Mingxia said quickly.

The proprietress glanced at him and said faintly, "Because, it's haunted inside."

"Haunted?" Ji Mingxia frowned slightly, turning his head to look at Yu Ning in a conditioned reflex.

According to the restaurant owner's wife, as of January 1, everything is calm.

Until the early morning of January 2, the first person who noticed something was wrong was a cleaner.

"The cleaner is a neighbor of my husband's relative. That morning, he entered the hotel as usual, but guess what happened, the entire first floor of the hotel was empty, and there was no one. It was early in the morning. , The cleaner didn't take it seriously at first, until he found out that he couldn't get into the second floor of the hotel. No matter how he went, he would return to the place he tried any way he could... You said, this is not a ghost hitting the wall, What is it?" said the lady boss.

Ji Mingxia said, "What about later? Ghosts hit the wall are usually met in the middle of the night when there are few people, but when the accident happened in the hotel, it was already dawn."

"That's right," said the proprietress, "that's why the county was locked down. During the day, all the people in the hotel disappeared. The first floor was empty, and the second floor was empty. The county dispatched dozens of firefighters. A group of people, no matter how they go, they can't go up to the second floor, they have been fighting against the wall until now, and no one can be rescued, you say it's strange!"

Ji Mingxia's expression finally changed when he heard this.

To this day, Ji Mingxia has dealt with Ghost Shadow countless times. He and Yu Ning are already very familiar with the power of mysterious objects.

Basically, every time the accident happens, it is dark, few people, and remote.

It was the first time he had encountered such a large-scale haunting in such a long time.

A whole hotel in the daytime stood there, and hundreds of people wanted to get in, but they couldn't get in.

Because it was too exaggerated, it made Ji Mingxia feel unreal.

Seeing Ji Mingxia's discoloration, the proprietress quickly added: "And I heard that every night in the middle of the night, you can hear the screams of people inside, and everyone said that hungry ghosts are eating people! "

Ji Mingxia couldn't help but said: "Are you sure it's haunted, is it possible... there are other human factors..."

In Ji Mingxia's memory, the most powerful mysterious item in this world is the bronze mirror in Pei Yuan's hand. Because of its evolutionary function, there are infinite possibilities in the future.

But even the bronze mirror, in the original work, has never had such a big battle.

Although the mysterious item is very strong, in Ji Mingxia's impression, it has always been a secret mess.

And the situation in the hotel at the moment, this bold style of painting is really inconsistent with the past.

When the proprietress heard this, she immediately thought that Ji Mingxia didn't believe it, and immediately lost her interest. She waved her hand and said, "Aiya, you young people don't believe this, and you don't understand it even if you say it, forget it."

Ji Mingxia hurriedly grabbed the proprietress and asked the last question: "Auntie, I'm just too shocked. Then tell me, what does the accident in this hotel have to do with our school?"

"The hotel is right next to the school, and the school is also affected." The proprietress said, "It is said that the area starts from the hotel, and then the school, especially the dormitory building... All of them have been inhabited by ghosts, and living people are not allowed to enter. , so the government sealed off an entire area, so that no one could get close to it, lest there would be another accident, which would be unaffordable."

The proprietress said that, just as the noodles were cooked, she immediately said: "The noodles are here, hurry up and eat the noodles. After eating, go home early, and you will be fine after the New Year."

Ji Mingxia also finished his inquiries, and immediately returned to the original place to eat.

After the proprietress entered the back kitchen, he whispered to Yu Ning, "Yuning, do you think it's possible?"

Yu Ning didn't answer Ji Mingxia's question, and said, "I just made a few calls, but Pei Yuan and the others lost contact."

Ji Mingxia was stunned for a moment, then remembered that there is an organization like Pei Yuan in this world that specializes in such mysterious events.

But...disconnected? At such a critical moment, there is no one to be found?

Ji Mingxia murmured, "No wonder the Funan County incident has been so troubled. Three days have passed and it has not been resolved."

The area near the hotel was blocked, and all unrelated personnel were not allowed to enter, and the local residents were convinced of the supernatural rumors, and no one dared to go there.

In broad daylight, it is obviously the central area of ​​the county, but it is extraordinarily empty, and there is not a single person coming and going.

When Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia saw this, they did not rush forward, but waited for a chance to enter after dark.

Both of them grew up in Funan County and knew the terrain very well.

After the rescuers also rested in the middle of the night, Ji Mingxia and Yu Ning found a trail and quickly came to the hotel while it was dark.

The central area of ​​the county at one o'clock in the morning should be brightly lit even if there are no pedestrians.

But don't know what's going on around here. Not only is the hotel, school and other buildings pitch-dark, but even the surrounding street lights are dimmed.

In the entire blockade area, it was dark, and the only light source was the faint skylight under the night.

At this time, it was January, and the winter was already cold. The closer you were to the hotel and the school, the fewer people were there.

Ji Mingxia looked at the school in front of him, and then looked at the hotel beside him. There was always a strange and indescribable feeling in his heart.

He grew up in Funan County and studied at school for three years. This neighborhood is one of the places he is most familiar with.

The bustling place in the past was suddenly empty, like a ghost town.

Ji Mingxia was a little resistant and afraid of such a change, but for some reason, there was always a voice in his heart that told him to go there sooner.

It was as if there was an invisible shadow hiding inside, looming and waiting for him.

Just then, a pair of hands grabbed his wrist.

Ji Mingxia looked down and found that Yu Ning was leading him forward.

"Follow me." Yu Ning whispered.

That mysterious feeling was suddenly interrupted, Ji Mingxia looked at Yu Ning, and instantly felt at ease.

He nodded, unconsciously tugging on Yu Ning's clothes, and followed him to the first floor of the hotel.

It was very cold outside, and the inside of the hotel was like an ice cellar.

At this moment, the faint light of the mobile phone shook, and several black shadows appeared in front.

When they heard the footsteps of Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia, those people turned their heads in horror, lit up Yu Ning and Ji Mingxia with their mobile phones, and said sternly, "Who?"
