Chapter 42 Is it a human, a ghost, or a god?
Just when I was in despair and could only close my eyes and wait for death, gunshots rang out, but to our surprise, it was not us who died, but the young policeman holding the gun, who suddenly fell to the ground and did not move .
It was then that I noticed that behind the young policeman was a female police officer. This was a beautiful, plump female police officer, with a heroic look that was definitely eye-catching. However, from her expression, I could tell that she was in a complicated mood at the moment.
I breathed a sigh of relief, then looked at the policewoman and hesitated before saying, "What's going on?"
"If you want to know the truth, follow me." The policewoman said, without even looking at the body on the ground, and turned and left.
Zhao Pengyu and I looked at each other and followed immediately. When I got downstairs, I saw Mi Qiqi and Mo Qingyu surrounded by a group of policemen. From their faces, I could tell that they were all terrified.
The policewoman sat on the sofa, then looked at me and said calmly, "I'm the deputy director here. If you want to know anything, just tell me."
"I want to know, what's going on with you guys right now?" I walked over and asked.
The policewoman smiled bitterly, then spread her hands, pointed at the policemen around her, and said coldly: "Haven't you seen it yet? Our situation is the same as yours."
Looking at the police around me, I gasped. Each of these policemen was fully armed and looked extremely elite. However, such elite policemen were like ants in the hands of the gatekeepers of the underworld.
Essentially, their current situation is no different from ours.
"Is it the same for you? How can the gatekeeper of the underworld be so powerful?" Mi Qiqi couldn't help but shout.
"Who said it wasn't?" The policewoman glanced at her, then smiled bitterly and said, "Who would have thought that we, a group of police officers, would eventually succumb to a ghost."
"Yes." At this time, a middle-aged policeman next to him also said: "At the beginning, we thought it was just a premeditated murder, but after our detailed investigation, we found that the facts were not the case at all."
"The gatekeeper of the underworld is beyond imagination. None of our detection methods can detect his existence. But he seems to know everything about our situation. He can even call out our names easily."
"So you just have to give in?" I sneered.
The policewoman raised her eyebrows, then smiled bitterly and said, "That's right, I don't want to hide anything. In front of the gatekeepers of the underworld, we are as powerless as you. Our police identities cannot protect us."
"So, the young policeman who wanted to kill us is also one of you." Zhao Pengyu couldn't help but say, and then complained: "What kind of people's police are you? Not only did you not protect us, but you also wanted to kill us in the end."
"I'm also sorry about Xiao Wang." After the policewoman said that, she took out a mobile phone from the sofa and handed it to me.
I took the phone and opened WeChat, and my face suddenly changed. In the WeChat in my hand, the Gatekeeper of the Underworld appeared in it. And issued the following task: "Wang Dehua must kill Zhang Fan, Wang Qiang, and Zhao Pengyu who enter the police station within three hours."
"How could this be?" Zhao Pengyu came over and looked at the phone with a look of astonishment on his face.
I calmly put down my arms, then sat on the sofa beside me and said bitterly , "So that's how it is. In order to survive, he chose to kill us."
"There's nothing we can do about it. This is his choice," said the policewoman.
"But you are the police. Isn't it the police's job to protect the people?" Mi Qiqi sneered.
Who knew that the policewoman looked at her and said: "Before becoming a police officer, we were just ordinary people, and we also wanted to survive."
Mi Qiqi was silent for a moment and stopped talking. Now everyone knew their own situation.
The police station has been playing the game for so long that I am afraid that everyone who survived is no longer a normal person. In the face of the fear of death, many police officers have forgotten their duties. This is not surprising.
"Okay, let's stop talking. Everyone understands the current situation. We must find a solution." The middle-aged policeman stepped forward and said.
As soon as he spoke, the atmosphere of the confrontation calmed down. I also slowed down my tone because I knew that I had no chance to resist these policemen because they had guns.
"Let us complete the task first, then we'll talk to you." I left the police station. When I left with the death file, the gatekeeper of the underworld sent a message: "Zhang Fan successfully completed the task and took the death file out of the police station. A special reward of 10,000 WeChat red envelopes was given to him."
The group immediately became excited, and many people shouted: "What's the situation now?"
"Is anyone dead?"
"Probably not. The police station is very safe."
Looking at the discussion in the group, I sneered and then sent out the news of Wang Qiang's death. After I sent it out, I returned to the police station. I had to have a good talk with these policemen.
Seeing me come back, the female police officer took a sip of tea and asked, "We know a lot about your situation. But I'm sorry, I can't save you."
"It doesn't matter. You can't protect yourselves. No matter whether we are right or not," I said to the policewoman.
"But even if you don't care about us, why don't you report it to the higher-level people?" Zhao Pengyu asked at this time.
"Yes, in this way, you can also be saved."
Hearing this, the policewoman smiled slightly and said, "I have already done what you said from the beginning. But so far, I have not received any orders from the higher level. This means that no one will come to rescue us."
"I had anticipated this situation." I said without changing my expression.
"So we can't wait for any rescue at all, we can only wait to die." The policewoman said with a wry smile.
"Even you are so helpless, aren't we just waiting to die?" Zhao Pengyu said dejectedly as he sat aside.
"It seems to be the case at the moment, but what I am discussing with you now is the identity of the gatekeeper of the underworld." said the policewoman.
"His identity?" I frowned, then said, "Although I doubt whether the gatekeeper of the underworld is in our class, I can't find any evidence."
The policewoman looked at me with appreciation, and then said to me: "My initial guess was the same as yours, but now I can conclude with absolute certainty that there is no gatekeeper of the underworld among us."
"Why are you so sure?" I asked.
"Because according to my conclusion, the gatekeeper of the underworld is not a human at all." said the policewoman.
"That's right, humans don't have that kind of powerful power." I said in horror. After coming into contact with the power of the Gatekeeper of the Underworld, I was deeply terrified by its power. Because its power was too terrifying.
"According to my observation, the gatekeeper of the underworld currently has three abilities." The policewoman raised a finger, then looked at me and said, "The first one is the power to kill a person by any method at any time and any place. As far as I know, this power has no flaws at all. It is just like the god of death."
"Yes." I nodded. The gatekeeper of the underworld can kill anyone instantly, and the death methods are all kinds of strange, such as being torn apart by five horses, beheading, etc. It is absolutely bloody.
"The second ability is knowing a lot of things. It can easily know what we are doing, where we are, and even our actions. This means that none of our actions can be hidden from him."
"As for the third ability, as far as I know, it can control the power of ghosts. This is its most terrifying point." said the policewoman.
"Yes, I have seen it before. It brings a dead person back to life briefly and makes him appear before us," I said.
"This is our current enemy. To be honest, I only have one word to describe this kind of enemy." The policewoman pointed her finger and said in an ethereal voice.
"What word?" I couldn't help asking.
"Death." The policewoman said in a deep voice. Her words made me stunned for a moment, then I nodded and said, "So what should we do?"
"If I knew, I wouldn't have come to you for advice." The policewoman looked at us and said, "We are no match for the gatekeeper of the underworld because we don't even know what it is."
"Yes, so the first thing we need to do next is to determine what the gatekeeper of the underworld is." I said.
"That's right. Before confirming the suspect, we must first know what the gatekeeper of the underworld is. Is he a human, a ghost, or a monster? In short, we know nothing about him. But he knows us very well." said the policewoman.
"Based on the current situation, I believe the chances of it being a ghost are higher." I said to the policewoman.
"This is our next question." The female police officer looked at me and suddenly smiled bitterly: "It's funny to say that I'm a people's police officer, but I'm discussing this kind of issue with you."
"By the way, do you know Fenglin Village?" I looked at the policewoman and suddenly said.
Who knows the policewoman nodded and said: "Of course we know, and we have investigated it."
"What are the results of your investigation?" I asked the policewoman.
The policewoman looked at me strangely, and then said, "According to our investigation, Fenglin Village experienced the same horror as us. And from what I know, there are only three survivors."
"It seems that you have investigated very carefully." I looked at the policewoman and said, "I only know that one of them is Han Ziyu, but she is dead. I don't know the other two."
"We don't have any clues in this regard because the situation was chaotic at the time. But the three survivors must know something," said the policewoman.
I nodded, and after discussing, I reached an agreement with the female police officer. Then the female police officer told me her cell phone number and asked me to contact her if I found any clues.
