Chapter 43: Dare to Kill My Bird
midnight.
When Zhang Ze returned to the police station, the courtyard was empty. The police car was parked in the garage. As soon as he got out of the car, he keenly sensed something unusual.
This aura is all too familiar.
Although not as intense as the world behind the door, it still carried a strong sense of resentment, like a reactor constantly emitting radiation. Zhang Ze, like a Geiger counter, was the first to notice this strange atmosphere.
I took another look at the police station in front of me.
The plaque in front of the door is rusted and looks like it has been many years, and the stone bricks on the ground are covered with moss, making them look decades older.
They were only gone for a little over half an hour.
When I returned, it felt like half a century had passed.
"Wait a minute, don't rush in. Haven't you noticed anything different about the police station?" Zhang Ze stopped the carefree Kuai Liang.
Kuai Liang hadn't noticed it at first, but after Zhang Ze's reminder, he also realized something was amiss.
Yes.
The West City Police Station in front of him was so unfamiliar, like the Raccoon City Police Department that Lyon had returned to after many years, with signs of decay everywhere.
The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust.
The window was covered with a layer of dirty window film, making it impossible to see inside.
Standing at the door, only the intermittent sound of the wind whistling past my ears, like wind chimes striking my heart.
The mission has begun.
Zhang Ze's eyes flickered slightly, and in a place where Kuai Liang couldn't see, black liquid gradually seeped out, and his two hands gradually turned pale and slender, like the hands of a dead female corpse. Accompanied by the cawing of a crow in the sky, Zhang Ze's vision instantly shifted to the entire police station.
Crow's Vision.
This ability is incredibly overpowered.
Zhang Ze wasn't stupid; it wouldn't be wise to rush into the police station. He first used a crow to fly around the police station.
The corridor remained quiet.
But the silence was eerily quiet. Apart from the sound of the wind, there was no other movement. The paint on the walls was peeling off in many places, and the ground was pitted and uneven, with no trace of human habitation.
Even more bizarrely...
As the crow disappeared into the deepest part of the U-shaped corridor, Zhang Ze clearly saw a shadow suddenly cover the crow's head.
"Gah!"
The crow let out a miserable cry and died instantly.
"How can you survive in a place like this until the next day? No wonder it's a scene with a scream factor of 2.5 stars."
Zhang Ze's eyes darted around, and he said to Kuai Liang, "You see, this place is really strange. I'll go in alone; you wait for me outside, okay?"
Kuai Liang was just an ordinary person.
If you go into this haunted place with him, and something happens, you'll be dead faster than a crow.
In this situation, he can only hold Zhang Ze back, and Zhang Ze will definitely not agree to let Kuai Liang go with him.
"What kind of talk is that!"
"Mr. Zhang, I'm a police officer. How can I let you put yourself in danger while I hide in the rear?"
"No, I have to go with you!"
Kuai Liang spoke with righteous indignation.
Zhang Ze paused, then leaned closer to Kuai Liang and lowered his voice, saying, "Let me tell you a secret, actually..."
"Today is Crazy Thursday."
Kuai Liang was taken aback.
He thought Zhang Ze was going to say something important, but what he said left him dumbfounded. Why didn't he just say "mixing Italian pasta with No. 42 concrete"? That was too nonsensical.
But before he could even speak, Kuai Liang suddenly felt everything go black, and he instantly lost consciousness.
Zhang Ze withdrew his ghost hand, placed the unconscious Kuai Liang in the passenger seat of the police car, and then closed the door.
"There's no need to act this time."
"So what if you're haunted? It's not like I'm not a ghost!"
Countless crows spread their wings from Zhang Ze's hand and swarmed into the police station. Through the crows' vision, Zhang Ze completely ignored the dim light of the police station and took in everything.
Upon entering the police station, Zhang Ze, following the route he remembered, first went to Captain Yan's office.
The office was also empty; all the computers were turned off, and a discarded police uniform lay on the sofa, indicating that no one had been there.
Zhang Ze read it once.
No signs of haunting were found.
However, there was no leftover food or empty coffee cup on the table.
The only people on night shift are Kuai Liang and Master Guan. The cleaning lady isn't working, and Zhang Ze doesn't think Master Guan would be so bored as to come and clean the place.
In other words, this police station looks exactly the same as the real Xicheng Police Station.
In fact, they may exist entirely in two spaces.
Just like Silent Hill, one is the surface world, where everything is no different from reality, while the other is the underworld, filled with vengeful ghosts and hiding all kinds of demons and monsters.
"I didn't see a door."
"Although the aura is very similar, and it's reasonable to suspect that what caused all this is related to the world behind the door, I really didn't see the door."
Zhang Ze frowned slightly and continued walking forward.
He needed to confirm Master Guan's safety.
His two videotapes are still in their hands.
"Gah!"
The crow closest to the Technology Department was summoned, squeezed through the crack in the door, and entered the Technology Department.
But the next second.
The crow's vision suddenly went black.
He died again.
"There was something in this room just now, and it's the same thing again."
"I'd like to see just how terrifying it is."
Zhang Ze showed no fear and kicked open the door to the technical department.
There was still no one in the technical department.
Zhang Ze saw a police uniform on Master Guan's chair, as if it had been temporarily taken off, but there were no footprints, indicating that he hadn't left in a hurry.
"Master Guan is gone, but he can't take my videotape with him."
"What's going on with this place?"
He considered that there might be a ghost behind the door, or even a fierce ghost in red, and started fighting without saying a word.
He wasn't intimidated; after all, who wasn't a vengeful ghost in red?
But to my surprise, there was no one behind the door.
Crows don't die for no reason; some force must have killed them, as evidenced by the shadows Zhang Ze saw through the crow's eyes.
"Don't hide."
"You're a ghost, and I'm a ghost. Let's exchange feelings."
"To be honest, I'm just here to investigate the missing media outlets. I have no ulterior motives towards you. You don't need to make a scene with me."
"But you harmed the police officer who was responsible for repairing my videotapes, isn't that a bit inappropriate?"
Zhang Ze spoke first.
Inside the technical department room, it was so quiet you could hardly hear a sound, and the cold was chilling. After Zhang Ze finished speaking, he received no response, and the sound he made echoed repeatedly in the corridor, leaving behind a series of cold echoes.
Zhang Ze picked up a pair of scissors from the table.
I touched the dust off the handle of the scissors.
The result was a complete disaster.
"Well, looks like he's a bully who picks on the weak and fears the strong."
"You dare kill my birds, you dare touch my people, but you don't dare to fight me head-on, huh?"
The black liquid in Zhang Ze's hand gradually gathered into a door, but this was not the end. More liquid gushed out like a tap being turned on.
In just a few minutes, it covered two-thirds of the technical department.
This is Zhang Ze trying to draw the door using Lingling's abilities.
However, this door... is much bigger than the last one.
This is also a silent threat, representing Zhang Ze's ability to pull the entire police station into his own backyard, leaving nothing for those hiding to escape.
