Underworld Retrograde

Chapter 89 Undead

Li Yelai got in the detective's car and rushed to the antique shop first.

He found that the antique shop where he had worked for four years had changed a lot.

Not only did they have two new employees, but there were also many more items in the shop.

Under the curious eyes of the two employees, Li Yelai and the detective walked into the shop.

The boss and Lao Zhao immediately came out to greet them.

"I feel relieved that you are here." Lao Zhao shook hands with Li Yelai and the detective and said, "If you can handle it cleanly, I can increase the reward!"

He was very surprised by the appearance of the detective. He didn't know the strength division of psychics, but it was always a good thing to have one more.

"We will naturally do our best. If there are similar things in the future, remember to call us." The detective responded with a smile and handed out a business card. It laid a good foundation for future cooperation.

"When was the specific time when the strange situation occurred?" Li Yelai asked.

"They appear randomly at night after dark. My employees who stayed in the manor to inspect and repair the house saw the figure several times at different times." Lao Zhao explained: "Now, some employees are a little absent-minded. They don't want to leave the manor no matter what. They were forcibly dragged away by our people, but they still tried every means to enter the manor."

"Is it mental interference?" The detective thought: "What did the original owner say?"

"The original owner" Lao Zhao hesitated and said: "His family was originally well-off, but his family fell into poverty. He planned to sell the manor and make a comeback. However, it is said that his deceased grandfather once said that the house must not be sold. But he himself has no idea about the current strange phenomenon."

"Has he never encountered similar things himself?" Li Yelai asked.

"At least he said so himself, and we don't know whether it is true or not." Lao Zhao responded.

"It is not ruled out that he knew this, but concealed it in order to sell the house." The detective analyzed: "For details, let's go to the scene to take a look."

No matter what the situation is, we have to investigate it first.

If it is confirmed that it is a psychic or a weird, or even a taboo.

Then we have to ask for official support.

"Okay, okay." Lao Zhao nodded quickly.

Then, a group of three people got on Lao Zhao's business car and rushed to the new city.

On the way, he explained that the buyer had paid the deposit and the vanguard team would arrive at Border City No. 3 soon.

If this situation is not resolved by then, not only will the transaction be invalidated, but Lao Zhao himself will also offend the buyer.

This surprised Li Yelai and the detective. It is said that a strong dragon cannot suppress a local snake. Can a caravan from a distant giant city suppress the local chamber of commerce?

"I know your identity. You may also be aware of the existence of the other party. Aristocratic family." Lao Zhao looked sad: "I used to contact them when I was a scavenger in the north. They have a high status and strange means. I really don't want to offend their Yaoqing Jing family."

"Jing family. Aristocratic family? Yaoqing Giant City?" The detective frowned. Although he didn't know much about the Yaoqing Jing family and had never been to the north. But as a handler, he naturally knew the existence of the aristocratic family.

They originated from the Disaster Era, and were one of the few powerful people who returned to the physical world after being swallowed by the disaster fog.

They brought back a wealth of psychic knowledge, and even the establishment of the giant city came from the knowledge they brought.

A small number of them retained some knowledge and inheritance and established their own families.

Because the descendants of psychics are more likely to become psychics.

Therefore, under conscious cultivation and marriage, most of their descendants are also psychics.

The monopoly of power and knowledge makes them influential.

"Yao Qing Jing Family?" Li Yelai's face moved. He learned about this family in the Ark. It was a family that once gave birth to a king. Now, it is said that there is an eight-awakening psychic in charge. It is a force that cannot be underestimated.

From the information in the Ark, it can be seen that the Jing family is coming to Border City No. 3. The so-called large caravan actually refers to them.

No wonder they have the confidence to dare to cross mountains and rivers with huge amounts of money and cross the wilderness.

Presumably, there are also psychics with good strength in the team, right?

Li Yelai immediately picked up the communicator and informed Yinhuo of the information.

After a few minutes, Yinhuo responded: [We know this. You continue to investigate. If you confirm the existence of strange things, notify us immediately. However, you can also ask a few psychics to check together. Safety comes first. ]

[Okay, if we can't handle it well, will the Jing family come to trouble us? ] Li Yelai asked. He didn't know much about the family, but he knew that they were not easy to get along with.

[They can't make any waves. ] Yinhuo sent a "hahahaha" expression: [It's not just the virtual creatures in the restricted area who are afraid of the old mad king. ]

Li Yelai expressed his understanding, and it is estimated that Huang Chao, who "trampled the bones of the nobles in the streets of heaven" in the late Tang Dynasty, would also express his praise!

Afterwards, Li Yelai contacted Cheese: [Cheese, do you have time now? ]

[If you ask me out, I have to put on makeup. ] Cheese responded.

Li Yelai ignored Cheese's dirty talk attack and quickly introduced the whole story.

He planned to ask Cheese for help, using her mumbling and hypnotic abilities to get information directly from the original owner.

The original owner must have some information hidden.

[Okay, give me the address. I'll drive there.] Cheese didn't refuse: [I owe you a favor.]

[OK!]

After that, the vehicle continued to drive for more than four hours before arriving at the outskirts of the new city.

It was already dark.

This was originally a mountainous area, but it became a favorite area for wealthy businessmen.

Compared with the crowded other urban areas, this place is indeed beautiful.

Li Yelai and his group came to a villa located halfway up the mountain.

This is the current residence of the original owner. After all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

It is said that even if the family has fallen into poverty, it can still buy a villa in the new urban area.

At this time, Li Yelai saw an off-road vehicle coming from a distance. It was Cheese's car.

He got out of the car and greeted Cheese.

Cheese parked the car next to the business car, rolled down the window and looked at Li Yelai and smiled: "You kid, you really can't live without me."

The temperature is low today, and Cheese also changed into winter clothes. It is a beige down coat, which makes her originally delicate face look a little small and cute. There is also a hint of smile in her eyes.

"I'll leave it to you this time." Li Yelai said.

Cheese nodded, then got out of the car and stood beside Li Yelai, greeting the detective.

Although Lao Zhao was surprised why Li Yelai called a girl, he still rang the doorbell of the villa.

A middle-aged man with an angry face quickly walked out of the villa.

His attitude was very bad. He didn't even open the door and shouted across the fence: "I've said it before, I don't know why there is such a situation in the old house! If you disturb me again, I will call the police!"

Lao Zhao frowned and said: "If so, then this transaction can only be cancelled. We can't accept such a house with such a situation. I can only ask you to return the deposit."

This pierced the middle-aged man's wound, and his face eased a lot. He said: "But I really don't know much about this. Before selling it to you, I have never encountered such a thing."

At this time, he heard a crisp voice.

"[Listen to me], what do you know?" Cheese said calmly after eating a candy.

She had seen many such guys who were full of nonsense, so she used her ability directly.

The middle-aged man frowned and was about to scold, but he spit out the words he didn't want to say: "When my grandfather was still alive, I saw him running to the basement."

"What are you running for?" Cheese asked.

"Go and meet grandma," the middle-aged man replied honestly.

"Your grandma?" Old Zhao scratched his head: "According to my investigation, didn't your grandma die a year after you were born?"

"But there. I did hear my grandpa calling grandma's name through the door." The middle-aged man found that he couldn't lie, so he could only speak in fear: "There, there is the ghost of my grandma. My grandpa knew this, but he still ran to the basement!"

Knowing that it was a ghost, but still contacting it?

This surprised everyone, but it was understandable.

If you see your lover appear, even if it is a ghost, you can't help but get close.

"Then, did your grandpa have any visions?" Cheese continued to ask: "Has there been a drastic change in personality or strange behavior?"

"I don't know much about his personality, but he likes to run to the basement. He didn't even plan to leave the basement at one time." The middle-aged man responded: "My dad pulled him out. Later, he disappeared, and finally found him dead on the first floor of the basement. He had a heart attack. Because he went to the basement alone, there was no time to rescue him. When he was found, the body was stiff."

Li Yelai, Cheese and the other two were thinking.

Was this an accident? Or did the so-called undead kill him?

Or was it something or a creature disguised as an undead?

"Then, you sold the house?" Li Yelai asked, "Didn't you say that there was your grandmother's undead in the basement? Isn't this equivalent to your ancestral grave?"

"What ancestral grave? She died too early, and I'm not familiar with her!" The middle-aged man said bitterly, "What if she didn't pay attention and killed me? I suspect that grandpa's death was related to her."

"So, after grandpa died, I sealed the basement. I lived peacefully for a few years, but I was always worried. Later, I learned that someone wanted to buy the manor, and my family had no money, so I sold it."

Li Yelai also knew what happened next.

Lao Zhao was commissioned by Yao Qingjing's family to buy the manor. But he accidentally opened the underground floor. The weird phenomenon appeared again.

However, it was not the grandmother of the original owner who appeared, but the deceased relatives of those employees.

Even if there were really undead, they would not appear here in droves. It is probably caused by something, which varies from person to person.

But the specifics still need to be checked.

Afterwards, Cheese used his ability again: "【Listen to me】, in five seconds, go back to the room, forget the previous inquiry, and forget our arrival."

The middle-aged man nodded and then returned to the room.

As the door closed, he looked confused, not knowing why he was standing at the door.

And outside the villa.

Li Yelai asked Cheese: "Can you confirm what the situation is?"

"It's hard to say, there is still a little less information. I have to go to the scene to take a look." Cheese thought and responded: "Get in the car, don't go to harm other people's cars."

Harm Li Yelai scratched his head when he heard this: "I didn't use my ability, the vehicle killer didn't trigger it. You are slandering me!"

"Guess why I change two cars in a month?" Cheese raised his eyebrows.

Li Yelai could only be honest and sit in Cheese's SUV with a big black umbrella.

Soon, the two cars arrived at the manor one after the other. This is a three-story building in Western style.

There is a large flower bed and a fountain.

There are several iron houses outside the manor, and those are Lao Zhao's employees.

Their original task was to repair the manor, but when they were repairing the basement, they encountered a strange situation.

Now, there are more than a dozen workers watching outside the wall.

The leader immediately stepped forward after seeing Lao Zhao, looking anxious.

Lao Zhao immediately asked: "What happened?"

"Four people escaped in. We sent people in to catch them, but none of them came back." The employee supervisor said anxiously.

Some employees who had seen their relatives wanted to return to the basement like they were obsessed. They were originally taken away by force, but they were not checked for a while, and four escaped. Eight people went to find them, but none of them came back.

Now, it was dark, and the remaining employees did not dare to enter the manor.

This made Lao Zhao's face change, and Cheese said to Lao Zhao: "I want to see the map of the manor. From now on, we will take over."

"Don't you need to send someone to help you?" Lao Zhao asked: "I still have a few good hands here, all experienced scavengers. Alas, where are they?"

Scavengers are good at fighting, and they are often the guards that the Chamber of Commerce is willing to hire.

But when this was said, the employees looked helpless.

The employee supervisor said with a bitter face: "They all went in."

Lao Zhao was stunned and speechless for a while.

"No, you have to make sure that no one from the outside world will enter the manor again. Don't make it more difficult for us to operate." Cheese responded.

"Okay, okay." Lao Zhao nodded repeatedly: "Please be careful."

The other employees looked suspicious, and it was no wonder they were strange.

After all, the detective looked more mature and experienced. Li Yelai and Cheese were too young.

Especially Cheese, a beautiful girl, can she really face those undead without being afraid?

Even the scavengers who ventured into the wilderness didn't come out.

"Are the boss and his men really capable?" an employee asked in a low voice.

At this time, Li Yelai said, "Boss Zhao, if there is any damage during the operation."

"Please rest assured, there is no furniture here at the moment. Even if the wall is damaged, we can repair it." Old Zhao understood: "If there is an accident, we will reimburse it in full."

As long as the house is not demolished, they will still make money.

"Okay, then I feel relieved." Li Yelai nodded, then put down the big black umbrella, took out a set of hot melt bombs from his backpack, and put them into the big black umbrella one by one.

Then, he lifted the big black umbrella with one hand and carried it on his shoulder. A deep pit was trampled out of the grass under his feet.

The employees twitched their mouths and silently moved a little further away from Li Yelai.

Well, now they have no problem.
