Chapter 221 – Finding the Ghost

　　Under the night sky, a familiar cell phone rang.

　　Vice Squad.

　　Seven Nights, the whereabouts of that car has been found. Wu Xiangnan’s voice came from the other end of the phone, five minutes ago, it drove out from the fork in Huashan Road and crossed Zhu Fang Road, the last surveillance to capture him was at the entrance to the alley in Er Dao Lane.

　　Second Avenue Lane? Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed.

　　The road there was so narrow, could it drive through a van?

　　Maybe it could, but what was he doing there? There was nothing there but old construction buildings that had long been abandoned.

　　Also, I stopped by to check the owner’s information of that car and found that the owner wasn’t a local from Cangnan, and the car was supposed to be a red Toyota, so it should have been a license plate.

　　I know.

　　Lin Qiye hung up the phone without the slightest hesitation and sped off in the direction of Erdao Lane.

　　Fortunately, he is a native Cangnan locals, otherwise perhaps even the second road alley in what place do not know, as a few decades ago on the obscurity of an old alleyway, it can be said to be perfectly faded out of everyone’s vision, according to most of the Cangnan locals do not know, in this modern city, there is still the existence of such an old alley.

　　That is to say …… that the person who stole the corpses is also a Cangnan local?

　　But why did he steal those three corpses?

　　Didn’t he only steal mysterious corpses? But those three were just ordinary people ah …… Could it be that he wanted to investigate the mysterious and find its location one step ahead of the night watchman?

　　As things stood now, this seemed to be the most reasonable kind of explanation.

　　After knowing his destination, Lin Qiye hopped around the city as he wore straight to the outskirts of the old town and quickly ran towards Second Avenue Lane with the route he remembered in his mind.

　　Soon, he arrived at the entrance of Second Avenue Lane.

　　On the remote suburban road, a dilapidated alleyway was dimly lit, and the old factory buildings standing on both sides had long been abandoned for more than ten years, so this place didn’t have the slightest bit of popularity.

　　Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly as he took a step toward the dark alleyway.

　　His spiritual perception had long covered the maximum range, always keeping an eye on the wind and grass around him, within a hundred meter radius of him, no detail could be detached from his perception.

　　After walking along the alleyway for about ten minutes or so, Lin Qiye stopped and his face changed slightly.

　　In the old factory building to his right, there was a familiar black van parked, the license plate had been removed, but Lin Qiye had no doubt that this was the van he had just seen.

　　Because in its trunk, there were still traces left by the ziplock bag that contained the corpse.

　　Lin Qiye squatted down and gently rubbed his fingers against the muddy ground under his feet, a touch of doubt surfacing in his eyes.

　　The old factory building here didn’t use a concrete floor, but just like the old earthworks, it was just ordinary land, and on such a ground, dragging and dropping the ziplock bags containing the corpses would inevitably leave traces.

　　If it was a crate, or other tools, it should also leave traces of wheels, and then step back, if that person was personally carrying the body, it would also leave deep footprints.

　　But now the ground, not to mention footprints, even a little indentation did not leave.

　　Could it be that the other party also had a forbidden ruin that could enhance agility like himself?

　　Immediately afterward, Lin Qiye searched the old factory buildings nearby, there were no traces of human life at all, and it was simply unreasonable for this van to appear here so abruptly.

　　Whether it was the caretaker or the sealed bag with the corpse, it was as if it had evaporated.

　　At this moment, Lin Qiye once again thought of Red Tassel’s comment about the secret thief, he is like the ghost of this city, we can feel his presence, but we can never get close.

　　The ghost ……

　　Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly as he raised his head to look at the moon in the sky, in the distance, several bats were flying close to here, and in the middle of the earth, all sorts of insects burrowed out of the soil and surrounded Lin Qiye.

　　More and more nocturnal creatures surrounded Lin Qiye, and immediately afterward, it was as if they were under some sort of order, neatly scattering in all directions.

　　Even if you’re a ghost, as long as you’re in this Cangnan City, I’ll still be able to catch you out. Lin Qiye said indifferently.

　　Cangnan City.

　　Underground.

　　Raging tides of rats surged through the sewers as they shuttled between the various passages in an organized manner, carefully searching every corner of the sewers.

　　And in one of the underground cavities, four glass tanks filled with formalin were soaked with the remains of bizarre monsters, a hideous snake head, a half-broken lizard, a black finger, and a clump of vines cluttered like grass ……

　　Behind these specimens, there are several neat operating tables, although they look a little old, but they are very functional in all aspects, and the stainless steel trays on the side are also neatly placed with surgical knives, which are immaculate.

　　At this moment, on the three operating tables, there were three pale corpses lying.

　　A teenager wearing white clothes wearing black frame glasses, holding a scalpel, standing in front of these three corpses, lowered his head and contemplated something, his eyebrows filled with doubts.

　　No …… this is not the same ……

　　Just when he was contemplating, an earthworm landed at his feet, and he glanced at it faintly, lifting his foot to trample it directly to death.

　　The next moment, a Malu fell on the other side of the hollow, moving around in a dazed manner for a while before being torn to pieces by the raging swarm of rats.

　　He glanced ahead again, his brows slightly wrinkled, today’s bugs, also a little too much ……

　　At this moment, scenes like this were happening throughout the sewers.

　　In the darkness, Lin Qiye snapped his eyes open and looked down at his feet.

　　In the sewers? His eyebrows rose slightly.

　　He couldn’t share his vision with the night creatures in real time, but that didn’t mean he couldn’t learn what was going on underground, and of all the night creatures he released, only the group that entered the sewers died the fastest, which in itself said something.

　　The next moment, a bat flew up from the nearest sewer and hovered around Lin Qiye for a while.

　　A rat tide? Lin Qiye was stunned and quickly thought of the rat he saw within the tavern today, his eyes narrowing slightly.

　　It seemed that this time, he had really found the right place.

　　He walked over to a sewer manhole cover, hesitated for a moment, reached out and pressed his hand in the void, and a gorgeous magic formation unfolded between his palms.

　　When the light receded, a small white mummy darted in front of Lin Qiye, looking around excitedly ……

　　and then regretfully spread its hands.

　　Mummy, still no food this time. Lin Qiye stroked its head with some embarrassment.

　　Although he knew that he wouldn’t be able to provide Mu Mu with a weapon again in a short period of time, every time he saw the other party’s disappointed little expression, Lin Qiye’s heart was always a little overjoyed.

　　Let’s just trouble you first and follow me underground.
