Chapter 384: Chapter 384: What Happened That Night?
Huang Xiaolong didn’t dissuade Liu Feilei, if she wanted to tag along, then so be it!
When they left Liu Feilei’s house, it was still fairly early, no later than 11 pm.
Huang Xiaolong drove towards City God Street.
The so-called “City God Street” in Binhai was akin to a slum, in worse condition than Lychee District, it was a place where all sorts of people mingled.
So, it made sense that the fugitive and murderer, Zhu Gang, would rent a room and hide in “City God Street”.
“Little Long, what ghost are you going to catch in City God Street at the dead of night?” asked Liu Feilei, her face was brimming with curiosity while sitting at the passenger’s seat. “Though… it does sound exciting…”
“Catching a vicious spirit… A fugitive turned into a spirit that haphazardly dismembers people in death…” Huang Xiaolong’s face was brimming with glee, and his eyes revealed a playful expression.
The more vicious the spirit, the more fun Huang Xiaolong derived from it.
“A ghost who used to be a fugitive?” Liu Feilei shivered. “That… That’s pretty terrifying…”
Parking the car.
The two of them were walking on the street, it was 11 pm.
Perhaps due to the bad public security in City God Street, the streets were deserted at this hour, apart from Huang Xiaolong and Liu Feilei, there were no other people around.
Liu Feilei clung onto Huang Xiaolong’s arm, their closeness resembled a pair of lovers. “Little Long~~ Where’s the ghost? Where’s it?”
Huang Xiaolong’s eyes flashed, he looked around, there were only a few ashen-faced ghosts aimlessly roaming the streets, occasionally turning to look at them, but they didn’t dare approach.
Only weak and solitary ghosts without anyone to turn to.
‘Where’s Zhu Gang’s soul?’ Huang Xiaolong pondered. ‘I came all the way at this late hour to purge it… It wouldn’t just not show up, right? Damn it~~~’
They kept moving and a long alleyway suddenly emerged before them.
The moonlight failed to penetrate into the alleyway, making it eerily dark.
The alleyway extended up to a hundred meters, leading to a dilapidated old district.
According to the data that Huang Xiaolong looked up online, the several violent dismemberment murders that happened on City God Street recently, almost all happened within this alley.
“Erm… Little Long, this… this alley is a bit… a bit terrifying… Is the… is the ghost hiding in there?” Liu Feilei’s teeth chattered with fear.
“Hehehe~~~” Huang Xiaolong chuckled noncommittally, “Feilei, whether there is a ghost in the alley or not… wouldn’t we know once we go in and take a look?”
With that, Huang Xiaolong took a step forward and walked towards the hauntingly dark alley.
Liu Feilei’s body trembled as she held onto Huang Xiaolong’s arm tighter, forcing herself to follow him into the alleyway.
Halfway in!
Suddenly, a ghastly ghost appeared on the high walls on both sides of the alley, sitting there and whispering amongst themselves.
“There are two more living souls about to be dismembered…”
“Hehehe, this couple probably wanted to get intimate in this alley, but they have no idea, their time is up.”
“That… that big brother is too… too ruthless… He hides here every night preying on people… and to dismember them, even playing with their intestines and guts… Truly sick…”
“Stop talking, the big brother is coming, we shouldn’t stand around watching, or else, we might end up dead too…”
…
Right then, an overwhelming sense of gloom filled the alley. From below the ground, thick pools of blood began to bubble up, sending a fetid smell soaring into the air!
The lonely ghosts who had been peering from atop the walls screamed out in terror and promptly fled.
Huang Xiaolong’s footsteps also paused and a trace of exhilaration flickered in his eyes.
Liu Feilei quivered as she spoke, “Little Long…did…did you discover a vengeful spirit?”
Huang Xiaolong hadn’t replied when at one end of the alley from the direction they were facing, a surge of Evil Qi rolled in, accompanying a scraping noise on the ground.
The gloom arrived swiftly. In the dim surroundings, a burly silhouette appeared, shrouded in the dark energy, step by step it approached Huang Xiaolong and Liu Feilei.
Upon closer inspection, this thug was draped in orange clothes, a man it seemed, his skull was blown open with bits of white brain matter bubbling out. Blood dripped from his nose and mouth, his neck tilted to one side was an obvious sign of a broken cervical spine. An iron piece was even lodged in his stomach causing intestines to be strewn all over the ground.
Huang Xiaolong had found a photo of “Zhu Gang” online when he was alive. He was certain, the orange-dressed ghost in front of him was Zhu Gang!
At this moment, Zhu Gang was holding a blood-soaked katana of Dongying, its tip scraping the ground, producing the scraping sound as he moved.
“Little Long~~~” Liu Feilei gave a short, sharp yelp and hid behind Huang Xiaolong’s back, her eyes now shut tightly out of fear.n
Suddenly, the orange-clothed vengeful spirit, Zhu Gang, had a trace of a mocking grin appear in his eyes. He brandished his katana and bellowed with a wicked laughter. “This is a robbery! No one moves! Hand over your intestines, your heart, your stomach… all of it!”
“Hold on there, stop shouting. You are Zhu Gang, right?” Huang Xiaolong asked with a cheeky grin. “You killed people when you were alive, committing heinous offenses. After death, you hid near the place you used to live and inflicted harm on others, as a result, you have evolved into this orange-clothed vengeful spirit.”
“Eh? You know my name?” Zhu Gang was taken aback.
“Yes, I want to ask, what exactly happened that night on bus number 330? Who killed you and the other people on the bus?” Huang Xiaolong asked. “Judging by the way you were killed, your skull was blown open, brain matter splattered, and neck broken. Was your stomach sliced by a piece of metal… Did you die in a bus accident?”
“That night?” A glimmer of panic flickered in the face of Zhu Gang. It seemed as though he was recalling some terrifying event.
But rather than answering Huang Xiaolong, he roared in crazed frenzy. “Robbery! Robbery! You talk too much! I like robbery! Die!”
The next second, Zhu Gang swung his katana and charged towards Huang Xiaolong!
Blood was dripping from the katana, emitting suffocating Evil Qi!
Being an orange-clothed vengeful spirit, Zhu Gang was ferocious! No sooner were the words out of his mouth than his ghostly figure appeared in front of Huang Xiaolong. He lifted his hand and swung his katana directly at Huang Xiaolong’s neck!
The slash was so threatening that Liu Feilei, who was hiding behind Huang Xiaolong, felt as if she were in an ice pit. Every cell of her body froze up.
Huang Xiaolong gave a playful chuckle and threw a casual punch.
Encased by a tri-colored flame, his fist shot out, the ethereal scene was akin to a divine spectacle!
Boom~~~~~~~
Before the punch landed, Zhu Gang’s dark energy around him shredded apart like pieces of fabric!
Bang!!!!!!
The punch hit, sending Zhu Gang flying over ten meters. His katana fell as his ghostly body burst into burning flames mid-air, releasing a continuous hissing sound and embers.
“What happened that night?” Huang Xiaolong dashed towards him in a flash and stomped on Zhu Gang’s chest the instant his ghostly body hit the ground. “I’ve run out of patience, spill it!”
