"Wait." I suddenly looked upstairs again, stopped, and said to Pang Dun, "Let's go upstairs and see what's going on upstairs. Maybe Nie Wei is upstairs."
After saying that, I ran into the yard again. Looking around, I saw a mess on the ground, scattered with corpses. Some of the villagers were not dead, all looking at me with pleading eyes.
"Save me, help!"
I shook my head helplessly. These people either had their necks bitten or their stomachs torn open; their intestines were spilling out, and besides, they were already infected. Even if I wanted to save them, how could I?
We went into the house and then upstairs. However, we were very disappointed; there was no Nie Wei upstairs, and no place for anyone to live. All that was there were some tomb-robbing tools and miscellaneous items and funerary objects dug out from graves.
Disappointed, we left the house and the yard, preparing to return to the town. However, just as we were about to leave, we heard two shouts, "Stop, police, both of you."
So Pang Dun and I stopped in our tracks and raised our hands. At this moment, two police officers appeared, one male and one female. The female officer was the one I had encountered at the river when Li Gui died a few days ago.
I had a headache, why did it have to be her out of everyone I could have met? But in this small town, there were only a few police officers.
The two police officers quickly approached us and shouted, "Hands on the tree, and hold your head."
Pang Dun and I did as we were told, and then the two officers began to search us. The male officer searched Pang Dun, and the female officer searched me. Before the search, the female officer looked at me with surprise, then gave me a flirtatious look, which was not a good look.
Pang Dun started to grumble while being searched, "We were the ones who reported the incident. Why are you searching us?"
"Ah, don't touch me, I hate it when men touch me." Pang Dun seemed to have been pinched and yelled.
The male officer replied gruffly, "Shut up, you fatso."
The female officer started to search me as well, but didn't say anything, just patted me down, but found nothing. After the search, she pulled at my backpack.
I quickly grabbed the backpack and said to the female officer, "Officer, there's nothing in the backpack, can you not search it?"
The female officer gave me a flirtatious look again and asked in a low voice, "What do you think?"
Seeing her look, I felt it was not good. You must not offend women, especially a police officer. Helplessly, I handed over the backpack and said, "But officer, if you see anything you shouldn't, please don't be surprised."
"Don't worry," the female officer said with a smile, "It's probably just tools for committing a crime. Sister, have I not seen everything?"
Then, smiling, the female officer opened the backpack and started rummaging through it. However, after a while, she suddenly threw the backpack at me and cursed, "You pervert, you're a real pervert. You disgust me."
"What's wrong?" asked the male police officer.
The female police officer pointed at me and cursed, "The pervert's bag is full of used sanitary napkins, some yellow talismans, and some wooden things. It's really disgusting."
Hearing the female officer's words, I couldn't help feeling embarrassed. My backpack was a secret that even Pangdun wasn't allowed to touch. Of course, these sanitary napkins were used for exorcism.
The male officer, upon hearing the female officer's words, unexpectedly showed a fierce expression and stood in front of me, saying, "Kid, what's in your bag?"
Seeing the appearance of the male officer, I couldn't help but respond, "Officer, this seems to have nothing to do with you. But I can tell you, just in case, it's just that I'm afraid of scaring you. The things in my bag are used for ghost hunting, of course."
"Ghost hunting? I think you're just playing tricks, aren't you?" The male officer, upon hearing this, grabbed my clothes and was about to start a fight.
"Officer," I didn't dodge, but said coldly, "I'll be upfront with you. I haven't committed any crime, let alone resisted law enforcement. You can't just go around hitting people, you'll have to take responsibility if you hit me."
The male officer showed a fierce look, but still let go of me, saying, "Wait, even if we didn't find any tools on you, you still can't escape suspicion."
After saying that, the male officer walked to the side of the female officer and said, "Let's go inside and take a look. I must make these two punks suffer today."
Saying that, the two of them walked towards Nei Wei's yard. Watching their backs, I couldn't help shaking my head. At this point, Pangdun came up to me and, glaring at the male officer's back, said viciously, "Punk, if it weren't for the fact that he's a policeman, I really want to beat him up today."
"Uh, don't be impulsive." I patted Pangdun on the shoulder and said, "There's no need to argue with this kind of person. This kind of person will sooner or later get what's coming to him."
With that, I pulled Pangdun along. By this time, the two of them had already reached the front gate of the yard, and with one kick, they opened the iron gate. And just as the iron gate opened, I suddenly felt a sense of foreboding; the three ancient corpses that I had previously subdued were now nowhere to be seen.
"Not good." I quickly grabbed Pangdun. "Those three corpses may have already broken free from the peach wood nails."
"Ah," Pangdun immediately took a step back. "Then hurry up and go in and subdue those three corpses."
I helplessly said, "I want to, but will they let me in?"
Shaking my head helplessly, I also symbolically asked the two police officers, "Officers, maybe you should let me go in first. There are several Qing Dynasty corpses that have turned in the yard, and you might not survive if you go in carelessly."
As I expected, the male officer immediately turned to me and yelled, "Are you still playing tricks with me? I'm not easily scared. I think you're intentionally sabotaging the crime scene, aren't you?"
I was speechless for a moment, and spread my hands in helplessness to Pangdun. To my surprise, the female officer, after hearing what I said, looked at me and asked, "Kid, what did you just say, there are Qing Dynasty corpses here?"
"Yeah," I nodded.
At this point, the male officer shouted at the female officer again, "Ning Ning, don't listen to his nonsense. Are there ghosts in this yard? I don't believe it."
As he spoke, the male officer walked quickly into the yard. But just then, a deep roar suddenly came from the darkness. Before the male officer could react, a dark figure suddenly pounced on him.
It was the Qing Dynasty male corpse.
At this point, the male officer finally reacted and shouted, "What ghostly thing is this, help!"
The female officer also panicked, pulling out her gun and aiming. I shook my head and said, "Your useless thing won't work, it's effective against humans, not against ghosts."
The female officer didn't believe it, fired two shots, but the male corpse had no reaction. The female officer became anxious and looked at me, "What, what is this thing? Hurry up and save him."
"Alas." I sighed helplessly and still walked into the courtyard. But as soon as I entered the courtyard, two more bodies rushed out of the darkness and pounced directly onto the male officer. Three bodies at once grabbed hold of the male officer and opened their mouths, seemingly ready to bite.
