C2 Underworld show

When the traffic was sparse enough late at night, the wide road revealed some of its own truths, scars that had been hidden from sight by the various tides of the day.

Although I am a third-rate detective, due to my respect for this profession, I will go all out in the face of every commission.

The easiest way to find out if the girl was lying would be to personally go to the Light-Free Road at the right time and search for the underworld show in the commercial.

Turning on the computer to search, the River City's Light-Free Road really did exist.

In the mouth of the people of Old River City, there was another very special name for this road — "Screw the top".

During the War of Resistance against Japan, this was the biggest killing ground in River City. The dead were piled one above the other until they reached the top of the roof. Residents nearby said that it was simply impossible to install street lamps here. As long as they were installed, they would be extinguished the next day. If they were not extinguished by someone, they would mysteriously be extinguished.

It was fine to take down the light cannon, but the tungsten inside had already been broken. No one dared to install a new light bulb after that. Walking down an alley and shooting a flashlight for no apparent reason. Nothing electric would be used in the alley at night, and motorcycles and electric cars had to be pushed.

The people in the neighborhood don't usually come out at night. So if you meet a person at night at the "screw top" — it's not necessarily a person.

"Having a company set up in this sort of place, it's really a worthy name for your show in the Underworld." Frankly, I am an atheist of the highest order of logic, and after an afternoon of gathering data, I am even more certain that this is not a good prank.

"Whether it's true or not will depend on tonight." He changed into casual clothes, stuffed the advertisement and the electric shock wolf preventer into his pants pocket, and cycled to his destination.

Light-Free Road was in Old Town. When I arrived, the sky was already dark and there was a light drizzle in the sky.

"How unlucky." On rainy days, it was very easy to injure oneself with an electric shock device for preventing wolves. If they were to meet a criminal here, it would be very awkward.

The locals were very unfriendly to an outsider like me, so they approached me and asked. As long as the words' Light-Free Road 'were mentioned, they would immediately leave with a wave of their hands.

Without any warning, I, who was like a headless fly, wandered around until around 10pm but still haven't found the legendary Light-Free Road.

The rain grew heavier, and mist began to form between the sky and the earth. I wanted to find a place to shelter from the rain, but there wasn't even a decent store in the surrounding alleyway.

The shop only had a few doors, but they still had paper houses, spirit horses, and garlands. It was obvious that they were dealing with the dead.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, so I had no choice but to force myself to hide in the clothing store. But what was even more unexpected was that after 11 o'clock, the shop owner turned off all the lights, lit two pieces of white wax, gave me a black umbrella from the grave, and urged me to leave.

"These people are too weird." Holding up the black umbrella, he stood in the rain. With a single glance, he saw that the entire alley was devoid of light.

"Light-Free Road?" I felt a chill run down my spine. After walking for twenty minutes on my own, I actually lost my way. Just as I took out my phone to call the police for help, I coincidentally saw a Old grandma waving at me from the other side of the road.

"Why is she outside alone, when it is raining and the sky is dark? What about her family? "

The rain had wet his clothes, and he looked much more miserable than I did.

She waved her hands anxiously. I hastily walked over to her and held up the umbrella. "Elder, you …."

Lightning flashed, and when I looked down, I saw the old woman's lifted face, bloodless, and the wrinkles that crawled out from all directions like folded bean skins, covering the whole old face.

"I've lost my thing, help me find it."

The old man's voice was trembling as if he was about to die. This was his last request before he died.

I forced myself to calm down. "Don't worry, what did you lose?"

"I lost my grandson, right here in the alley."

Pointing at the dark road, she limped like a demon inside.

"Grandson? A living person? " For some reason, when I thought about the rumors about the Light-Free Road on the internet, my hair stood on end as I glanced at the back of the old man.

"Impossible, all the so-called Gods and Gods are just scaring themselves. My current situation should be due to a special environment that triggered the instinctive reaction of humans to uncertain events." In the face of danger, the human body produces a mechanism of self-protection, which is fear and avoidance.

"The local people's reactions combined with the rumors on the internet, as well as the grandma in front of me. Their actions are all weird, as if they are trying to create a horrible atmosphere." Even though I didn't believe it, I still felt that this was a prank. Currently, in order to achieve the viewership ratings, many variety shows were going all out, creating a variety show. Perhaps in a place I didn't know about, there were more than ten cameras installed to follow along the whole process.

With that in mind, the fear lessened, and I took up my umbrella and entered the depths of the alley at the same time as Grandma.

After a long while, I, who had already lost my way, broke down. It was my grandma who suddenly stopped walking.

"Darling, don't run around too much next time …"

"You found it?" Surprised, I followed the old man's gaze and slowly opened my eyes.

On the ice-cold stairs lay a cloth doll that was drenched and tattered by the rain!

The old man affectionately picked up the child, not caring about the mud or the water stains at all. He was very careful, as if he was treating a newborn baby.

"She … she's a madman?!" I ran with a crazy old lady in the rain for over an hour!

"Oh, oh, cloth doll, don't be angry, let me apologize. You shouldn't have lost your temper and thrown you to the ground. Dirty your new floral dress and your face is covered in mud. It must still hurt, right? I'm so sorry! If your clothes are dirty, I'll take them for you. If your face is dirty, I'll wash it for you. "Since it hurts, let me massage it for you. From now on, we won't separate."

The old man picked up the doll and left while chanting a nursery rhyme. Other than a bitter smile, I also felt a little sympathy for the old man.

Thinking of this, I chased after him and gave the black umbrella to the old man. "Big Rain, take the umbrella and go home quickly."

The grandma took the umbrella and was stunned for a moment.

"Be careful on your way back." As the rain wet my clothes, I hid on the steps of the stairs where I picked up the cloth doll to avoid the rain. This was a three-story building.

"For seventy yuan, I bet a lot." I squatted on the floor, habitually wanting to light a cigarette. However, just as the lighter was about to light up, I saw the door plate on the outside of the small building — — "Light-Free Road 44".

The flame went out, and I pulled out the small card. I held my face close to it and confirmed, "It can't be that coincidental, right?"

This is where I am looking for a place where there is no road of doubt and no way of living.

"The address in the ad does exist. Things are getting interesting." I pressed the lightning alarm switch with my palm and was about to enter the hallway when my clothes jerked.

"Who is it!"

He turned around and took out the anti-wolves device. The crackling sounds of electric arcs were especially clear in the dark night.

"Grandma?" At some point, the old man who was carrying the cloth doll had appeared behind me. I, who had received an A + at the police academy's combat prowess, had not realised it at all.

"Young man, it's dark, don't run around." The old man used his body to block the cloth doll's line of sight, as though he had unintentionally slipped out a handkerchief from his sleeve.

"Little mouse, go to the lampstand, steal some oil to eat, you can't come down. "Meow, meow, meow. The cat is here. Come, come, come, come …"

Singing nursery rhymes and coaxing dolls in his arms, the old man disappeared into the rainy night.

I picked up the handkerchief the old man had left behind, white as a silk chain, and held it before my eyes, with an ancient poem on it.

"It is very difficult to paint in a poor house,

The internal affairs came from the imperial township.

If there is a son, there must be a land; if there is a son, there must be a land.

There is no path in the world of ghosts. "

After reading it twice, I broke out in a cold sweat. It was a poem with the first word of each line, and that was — There's a ghost in the house!

"Is she crazy?" Combined with the words of the old man, the meaning she wanted to express was very clear. Although it was hidden, it was at least logically okay.

"Is there really a ghost in the world?" Looking at the dark corridor, I hesitated for a moment before walking in.

For a detective, what attracts him the most is never the result, but the process of unravelling the unknown.

My eyes grew accustomed to the darkness, and I touched the mottled skin of the wall as I walked down the stairs to the basement.

"Light-Free Road 44, underground floor 4, room 444 … …"
