Chapter 39 Chapter 23 Waiting for Rescue

The mysterious laughter echoed in the night sky, and the hideous face of the hidden mirror ghost appeared in the window of a bungalow about 20 meters behind the camphor tree.Although she knew she was just pretending to be a ghost, it was still creepy. "Ghost Cangjing, we have seen your tricks thoroughly. If you are sensible, you can obediently catch them. Otherwise, when the big troops come, you can wait to turn into a honeycomb!" I yelled with the camphor tree behind my back , and signaled Xueqing to pay attention to the movement around her in order to determine the other party's hiding place.

Xueqing carefully inspected the surrounding environment, and slowly drew out her gun for security.At the same time, the mirror ghost in the window raised her pale and slender right hand, and slowly stretched out her sharp ghost claws from her fingertips. As her mouth opened and closed, a hollow and misty voice echoed in the night sky: "Hee hee!" Hee... you're not ashamed when you're about to die! This is a remote place, not to mention that there are no highways, and there aren't even many decent roads. I'm afraid your large army won't be able to catch up before your body stiffens."

I listened carefully to her voice, trying to locate her.Although her image appeared behind the camphor tree, the voice clearly came from in front of the camphor tree.And judging from the angle of Wang Da being shot, the gunman's hiding place should also be in front of the camphor tree. In order to further determine her location, I tiptoed my head out of the tree to check the surrounding movement.In addition to another camphor tree about 70 meters away, there is only one building for hiding.And this building is Liang Caixia's house. However, if Liang Caixia set up her hiding place at home, it would be tantamount to admitting that she has a direct relationship with the hidden mirror ghost, which is a very stupid behavior.However, just when I thought my judgment was wrong, the dreaded breaking wind sounded again.

I suddenly retracted my head and hid behind the camphor tree that could save my life temporarily.A strong wind passed by me immediately, and I seemed to hear the sound of deadly poisonous alcohol bullets grating against the bark of the tree. "Your bastard skills are well practiced, but good luck will not be with you forever. Next time, mine will pierce your heart, hehehe..." The hidden mirror ghost gently shook his fingers with sharp claws, Let out a frightening sneer laugh. Being ridiculed as a bastard is a very useless thing, but fortunately I have a thick skin and don't care.As the saying goes, "It's better to die than to live", and it's better to save your life than anything else.And in the flashlight just now, I found a spot of light on the balcony on the second floor of the house.Although it was only a short moment, I was able to confirm that it was the reflection of the gun barrel in the moonlight.In other words, the gunman's hiding place is on the balcony on the second floor!

Xueqing also noticed this, but the opponent used the railing on the balcony as a cover. In the current dark environment, even an excellent sharpshooter could hardly hit the target accurately.But as long as we leave the cover of the camphor tree, we will be immediately exposed to the opponent's guns. The current situation makes me feel in a dilemma. It is difficult to launch an offensive, and I cannot retreat completely. I can only continue to stay behind the camphor tree and waste time.Perhaps it is a good choice to stay here for one night and make plans after dawn.But we can wait, but Wang Da cannot wait, the longer the confrontation, the worse his situation will be.Moreover, the hidden mirror ghost may not spend with us until dawn.

With Xueqing and I alone, it is not an easy task to deal with the hidden mirror ghost. If we can get support, the situation will be different.However, although I can get the boss to send someone to help, it is difficult to put out the fire in the distance.Wait for him to report to the director, and then the director will dispatch personnel, and wait for the large army to pass through the path that we walked for nearly ten minutes... By then, maybe we will all be dead. To get support as soon as possible, the most direct way is to ask Fu Bin, the captain of the criminal police, for help.As long as he brings three or five criminal policemen to support him, under the powerful firepower of the submachine gun, the modified gas gun of Cang Jinggui is nothing.

However, my friendship with Fu Bin is only average, and I absolutely believe that he will watch me die.In desperation, I had no choice but to betray Xueqing and send Fu Bin this text message: We were attacked in Wangcun, Xueqing was injured and in critical condition, please come to help.The location is about one kilometer north of Wangcun Primary School. He usually flies around Xueqing all day long like a fly. I don't believe that at this critical juncture, he will not jump out and play the hero.Sure enough, not long after the text message was sent, he received a reply: Hold on, I'll be there in twenty minutes.

Although he has promised to come to support, it does not mean that our crisis has been resolved.After all, the world is unpredictable, who knows whether he will arrive within twenty minutes or two hours later.How many personnel and how much equipment he will bring is also unknown.And the most worrying thing is whether we can survive until then.After all, this is also the site of the hidden mirror ghost. Who knows if she will change places quietly and give us a cold shot. Rather than just sit and wait, it is better to take the initiative and disrupt the opponent's offensive rhythm in order to buy more time for waiting for support.

I explained the next action to Xueqing in a low voice, then took off my coat, raised my head and shouted: "Ghost Cangjing, you can't kill me, because you made a serious mistake, that is..." I deliberately lowered my voice. "What is it?" she asked coldly. "That's an underestimation of Lao Tzu's ability!" I shouted up to the sky, and threw my coat at the hidden mirror ghost who was baring his teeth and claws in the window. There was the expected sound of breaking wind, and the coat was hit instantly.After the bullet penetrated the coat, it broke the window of the bungalow.

I've been waiting for this moment! I jumped out of the camphor tree before the jacket fell to the ground, and immediately rushed forward. The opponent's air gun cannot achieve the effect of continuous shooting, which can be affirmed from the situation when he was attacked last night.And based on last night's experience, the interval between the opponent's two shots was about ten seconds.With my physical ability, I can only run about 50 meters in ten seconds at best. It is almost impossible to run to the house 200 meters away before the opponent shoots again.Therefore, my goal was not the house where the gunman was hiding, but another camphor tree halfway.

Although the other camphor tree was only more than 70 meters away, whether I could run over before the gunman opened fire again was still a mystery to me.But I am also a seven-foot man, so I gritted my teeth and ran hard, so I should be able to survive.However, at this critical juncture, my damn right leg suddenly cramped. A sudden cramp in my right leg caused me to lose my balance while I was running. Not only did I fall down immediately, but I also rolled twice due to inertia.I endured the pain in my legs and looked up at the balcony.The black barrel of the gun, which glowed with a breathtaking coldness under the moonlight, had protruded from the gap in the railing, ready to take my life. The camphor tree is about ten meters away, but this short ten-meter journey is a long way to hell for me, who is still cramping in my right foot.Before I finish the ten meters, I'm afraid I will have to fall down like Teacher Lu and Wang Da.At this moment, I can only pin my hope on Xueqing. Three consecutive gunshots came from behind, Xueqing saw the timing, and shot consecutively at the balcony before the other party took my life.Under her cover, I immediately rushed towards the camphor tree, rolling and crawling, and finally managed to save my life. I sat down with my back against the camphor tree, rubbing my right leg and panting, thinking that this damn cramped leg would kill me sooner or later.Fortunately, after a short rest, the right leg no longer cramp.I stood up and lowered my voice a little, raised my head and said, "The fortune teller said that I can live to be ninety years old. It's not so easy to want my life!" "It's accidental to escape once, and luck to escape twice, but can the fortune teller guarantee you to escape the third time? Hee hee hee..." The hidden mirror ghost's sinister laughter echoed above my head. "There will be no third time!" I shouted to the sky, and then lowered my voice again: "Because I already know where you are hiding!" "What a joke!" She scolded viciously: "My lady can shuttle freely between the mirrors, does she need to hide her head and show her tail like you, a shrinking turtle?" I smiled and said, "Really? Then which mirror are you hiding in now?" She replied coldly: "I'm watching you from the window behind the camphor tree!" "Ha, are you talking about the shards of glass?" I looked up and laughed. "What?" Her voice trembled in surprise. Just now I purposely threw my coat at the window where the mirror ghost appeared, so after the bullet passed through the coat, it also broke the glass of the window.Her ferocious face had already disappeared with the shattered glass, but the tense atmosphere just now made her focus on me, so she ignored this key point. I shouted loudly: "Stop pretending to be a ghost, I already know all your secrets, including your true identity, the method of killing, and the current hiding place. Unless you are really like the legendary hidden mirror ghost, It can shuttle between mirrors, otherwise it will be difficult to fly with wings." "Interesting, interesting! Miss Ben would like to hear what secrets you have about me." Ghost Cangjing was still trying to calm down. "I know a lot of your secrets, which one do you want to hear first?" I laughed. "Who doesn't bluff, don't talk nonsense, tell me everything you know!" Her tone was a little anxious. Her attention was clearly focused on the subject, which played into my favor.I spent so much effort just to stall for time and wait for Fu Bin to come to support me.Therefore, I continued to chat with her: "After being attacked by you last night, we analyzed your situation in detail, and finally came to a conclusion-you are not the legendary hidden mirror ghost at all, but just pretending to be a ghost by using this legend !" "Hee hee hee..." The cold laughter echoed in the night sky again, but compared with before, there was a little uneasiness in the laughter at this time, "Is this the secret you said? It's all your wild guesses." "Do you know what 'dead chicken supports the rice cover'? It means that after the chicken is cooked, the chicken legs will straighten and support the lid of the pot. Just like you now, I have clearly seen through, but you just refuse to admit it! Then I pointed out that her invisible "ghost claw skill" was nothing more than using a modified air gun to fire bullets made of a mixture of dry ice and alcohol, and adding the pesticide paraquat to the alcohol mixture to kill Teacher Lu.As for her magical ability, which she claims to be able to travel freely between mirrors, it is nothing more than light and shadow projection similar to shadow puppetry. "We have completely deciphered your tricks, and we know that you can't play shadow puppetry at the same time. That is to say, there is more than one person in the hidden mirror ghost, you have at least two or more people to cooperate with each other." I yelled up to the sky , in exchange for the other party's silence. After a while, the Cangjing Ghost spoke again in an unnerving silence: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart, but it's useless even if you are Kong Ming reborn, because you have no chance to leave here!" "It's because you didn't have a chance to leave!" I yelled loudly: "Do you think that my voice was louder and softer just now, just to amuse you? I was actually trying to determine your location." "What?" The other party's voice became trembling. I explained loudly: "The terrain here is open, except for two camphor trees, only the balcony on the second floor of Wu Wei and his wife's house can hide. When the gunmen attacked us just now, they had already exposed their hiding place on the balcony. If you If you don’t stay with the shooter, you can only hide on two camphor trees. I deliberately lowered my voice under the two camphor trees just now to make sure you are hiding on which camphor tree. Now the answer should be obvious! You'd better stop wasting time and climb down from the tree, or we'll just shoot you down like a bird. Note, we're not using an air gun." When I was complacent about my reasoning and waiting for the hidden mirror ghost to be caught, a rough and angry male voice came from behind: "How dare you smash the windows of my house, you fucking want to die!" In the house where the mirror ghost shot through the window, a stout middle-aged man walked out, holding a wooden stick and glaring at us.He probably thought it was me and Xueqing who broke his window, and seemed to want to come forward and beat us up. I thought that before Fu Bin's arrival, the ghost hiding in the tree would be caught without a fight, but I didn't expect that at this juncture, someone jumped out to make trouble.If he rushes over and enters the shooting range of the gunman, he will definitely become a bargaining chip for the hidden mirror ghost to threaten us, and then we will be in great trouble. However, just when I was about to stop this man, I found that the villagers in several nearby houses seemed to be alarmed by the gunshots just now, and they all poked their heads out to watch the excitement.Three or two brave villagers, seeing the man coming forward with a stick and walking out of the door, seemed to want to argue with me. Just when I didn't know how to drive these villagers back, a gunshot rang out, and then I heard Xueqing's cold voice like a snowstorm: "Bullets don't have eyes, if you don't want to die, go home immediately and lock the doors and windows." superior." Xueqing's gunshot was more effective than any explanation. The man was stunned for a moment, and then fled back home, closing the door heavily.Seeing this, other villagers hurriedly returned to the house and locked the doors and windows. I looked around and made sure that no villagers came out for a stroll, so I shouted to the hidden mirror ghost: "If all the villagers call the police, I am afraid that a large number of police will surround this place immediately. You don't want to be beaten into a hornet's nest." , just obediently let him go and catch him!" The other party did not respond immediately, and seemed to be thinking about how to respond.After a long silence, the hollow and misty voice sounded again: "Leave them alone for now, hurry to the altar and gather, don't delay the sacrificial ceremony." She obviously didn't tell me what she said. Could it be an order for the shooter? The gunman hid on the balcony on the second floor. Not only did he have many escape routes, but he was also armed. It was not difficult to escape.But the hidden mirror ghost hiding on the camphor tree is different. Unless she has wings, she must climb down first to escape from this place.As long as I squat under the tree, I don't have to worry about her escaping from my Five Fingers Mountain. Catch one of them and the other won't go anywhere.Therefore, I squatted under the camphor tree with peace of mind, raised my head and shouted: "Ghost Cangjing, you can't run away. I not only know your location, but also your identity. Even if I let you run away today, I only need a warrant As soon as you come out, you will be arrested and brought to justice sooner or later." "Hee hee hee... Do you think your ability is really that great? Or is it just a bluff." She was still stubborn. "It seems that if I don't reveal your identity, you won't come down even after dawn. Well, listen to me carefully..." I leaned against the camphor tree and said loudly: "We have analyzed Liang Caixia carefully today. In the experience of being attacked, I found that there was a serious loophole. That was Miss Cai Jia who was wearing a Chinese cheongsam. Because the hem of the cheongsam was relatively narrow, it was impossible to lift her feet, let alone kick Liang Caixia down. Later We know from Granny Liang that her daughter has been very eager to learn since she was a child. According to Granny Liang, her daughter has learned opera, photography, painting, paper-cutting, sewing and many other crafts. Although they are all half-baked, if she can be flexible Using these skills flexibly, it is not difficult to make the legendary hidden mirror ghost appear in front of people." "Hee hee hee... If it's really that easy, wouldn't there be my avatars all over the mountains and plains?" Her tone gradually became hurried, and she didn't know if it was because of panic or other reasons. "Although you haven't learned opera well, you have learned how to use the voice, and you can make the hollow and ethereal voice of the ghost of the hidden mirror; although you haven't learned photography well, you have learned the principle of light and shadow projection, and you can make the ghost of the hidden mirror look terrible. Projected on mirrors and windows; as for painting, paper-cutting, sewing and other crafts, although you haven't learned them well, at least they can be used to make the original shape of the hidden mirror ghost!" I looked up to the sky and shouted: "I said That's right, Liang Caixia!" "Hee hee hee... I didn't expect you to be really capable! But I just realized it now, it's too late, hee hee hee..." The Ghost of the Mirror... Or should I say Liang Caixia, although her voice was more urgent than before, it gave off a feeling of victory. The cold laughter constantly echoed in the night sky, sometimes big and sometimes small, looming, like ghosts and ghosts, making people feel uneasy.I don't understand why she can still laugh so confidently after her identity has been found out. Does she have other countermeasures? Just when I was wondering about this, the phone vibrated suddenly, and it was a message from Xueqing——Wang Da is gone!
