Chapter 229 – The True Location of the Ceremony
Speaking of this, Lin Qiye hesitated again.
However, I’ve seen the tavern owner in the video, he’s a short, balding, greasy middle-aged man, his body type is too different from the person in the video.
For someone with super-speed regeneration, it wasn’t difficult to change their body type in a short period of time. Anqing Yu’s voice came out again, vaguely echoing.
Lin Qiye heard this voice and spoke in surprise: You’re not in the tavern? Where are you?
An Qingyu did not answer, he walked step by step down a dark narrow stone staircase, the faint fluorescent light emanating from his cell phone screen illuminated his calm face.
It didn’t take long for the stone steps under his feet to come to an end, and a rusty iron door appeared in front of him.
He pushed up his glasses and placed his right hand on the surface of the iron door, and the next moment extremely cold frost began to spread from between his palms, and when the entire iron door froze, he gently snapped his fingers, and the iron door shattered in response.
As soon as he opened the door, an indescribable stench hit his face, the smell of old rotting wood, mixed with the strong smell of blood, causing his brows to furrow tightly.
After An Qingyu walked through the door, he carefully surveyed his surroundings, this seemed to be a long abandoned storage room, which was covered in cobwebs, and on one of the opposite walls, there were two scarlet blood marks.
An Qingyu’s finger gently wiped on the blood marks and rubbed her fingertips together, the blood was new.
Not only that, on the wall ledge, there were four brand new nail marks.
An Qingyu picked up her cell phone and spoke calmly: I’m at the first scene.
You found it? Lin Qiye was shocked by An Qingyu’s efficiency.
An Qingyu swept the stone steps she came from, I parsed the overall layout of this tavern and found that it was a little different from the other commercial tenants on this street, it had a few square meters less floor space.
Later I found out that a small piece of land that originally belonged to the tavern was occupied by the hot pot restaurant next door, it should be that the owners of the two stores reached some agreement, the tavern took the initiative to sell this piece of land and put a fence between it.
Now this piece of land is used by the hotpot restaurant to place a little bit of sundries for building, so from the pattern, this piece of land belongs to the hotpot restaurant next door, not the tavern, and the police were fooled by this hand when they searched the scene.
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly, since this is the case, it can be determined that the owner of this tavern, is the mastermind behind all of this, but …… why did he use such bizarre killing techniques as nailing the wall and breaking his fingers, and why did he carry out such a ritual, he is a human being, and the promotion rituals of the wronged ghosts have no effect on him.
Could it be …… that he performed the ritual, not for himself?
Lin Qiye had reason to believe that this Grievous Ghost Promotion Ceremony was really going on, otherwise there would be no need for an ability user to use such complicated means to randomly kill a few innocent passersby.
If one were to find a reasonable explanation for all of this, there would only be one, the boss was indeed trying to complete the promotion ceremony, but it wasn’t for himself, but for the sake of another Grievous Ghost-type Mystery ……
Could he be controlled by the mystery?
If everything was based on completing the ritual, then the tavern owner would definitely come to this area to complete the final ritual.
But why was he in a hurry to leave Cangnan?
He went to such great lengths to make this set up, did he just give up?
Lin Qiye lowered his head and looked down at the dark neighborhood below him, his mind was in turmoil, he always felt that there was something that he had overlooked ……
Ritual, area, killing, sacrifice ……
Just as Lin Qiye was thinking hard, an airplane crossed the sky, the red lights on its wings attracted his attention, he looked up into the sky and was suddenly struck dumb.
A bold idea suddenly appeared in his mind!
Should he ……
Lin Qiye stood up violently and looked down at the time, 3:11 am.
Qimo! What time did the tavern owner buy the airfare? In the originally quiet channel, Lin Qiye’s voice suddenly rang out, startling several other people.
However, Wen Qi Mo’s voice did not appear.
Lin Qiye called out a few more times, and Wen QiMo’s channel remained dead silent.
At this time, Chen Muye’s brows furrowed slightly, Wen Qi Mo, can you hear us?
From the last report on the situation to now, 11 minutes had passed, 11 minutes ago Wen Qi Mo was speaking normally, now no matter how much they called out, he didn’t respond.
Lin Qiye, what did you find out? Seeing that Wen Ji Mo didn’t respond, Wu Xiang Nan knew that something wasn’t right and opened his mouth to ask.
”Vice captain, you first ask Xiao Hei what time is the tavern owner’s plane?
Good.
A few dozen seconds later, his voice came out again, taking off at 3:20, what’s wrong?
Lin Qiye’s heart thumped, without the slightest hesitation, he turned around and leapt towards the darkness while saying loudly:
Stop that airplane! Can’t let it take off! There is no such thing as an unknown mystery, all of this is the work of that tavern owner! I’ll tell you more about the exact process in a moment.
He wants to complete the ritual, and he does come here, but not on the ground, but ……
in the sky!
Lin Qiye looked up into the dark night sky as the others froze.
The ceremony can be done as long as it is done in a defined area, the tavern owner knows that we are all ambushed in this neighborhood right now, so he didn’t choose to complete the ceremony on the ground, he didn’t take the plane to leave Cangnan, but rather, he wanted to wait until the plane flew over the sky of this area, and then he would complete the ceremony on the plane!
That plane was carrying more than 200 passengers, which didn’t necessarily fulfill the conditions for sacrificing souls, so he used Xiao Hei to trick Wen Qimo into going there, wanting to use his soul to fill in the rest of the gaps.
Hearing Lin Qiye’s words, the hearts of the rest of Squad 136 went cold, and without the slightest hesitation, Chen Muye immediately ordered:
Immediately contact the airport side, stop that plane from taking off no matter what, Xiang Nan, Red Tassel, Seven Nights, Xiao Nan, you guys go to the airport right now and catch him.
Leng Xuan, you and I will continue to stand guard here to prevent a diversion.
He believed in Lin Qiye’s reasoning, but as the captain, he had to coordinate the whole situation, since the ceremony could be done both in the sky and on the ground, he could not rule out the possibility that the tavern owner would make a false move and hold the ceremony from the ground while everyone else was heading to the airport.
With the lives of thousands of people at stake, he had to be careful.
Wu Xiangnan, Red Tassel and Si Xiaonan quickly got into the car, by this time, Lin Qiye had long since run out of sight, in the deserted city at night, he was able to leap over buildings with abandon, his speed would not be slower than that of a car.
With the buzzing of the car, the black van disappeared rapidly into the darkness.
