Chapter 2 Witnesses
Searching for something that might be a mystery in a haunted building is indeed difficult.

Money is not easy to make.

Sitting in the car, Li Yi, who was heading to his destination, couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

But he had no other choice. If there was another way to earn 50,000 yuan in a short period of time, he would not have taken such a dangerous task.

The vehicle was traveling through the old urban area, and the journey was slightly bumpy.

Everyone in the car was silent, and the atmosphere seemed a little solemn.

"This car is circling. We just passed this road. It seems that the old crow is very cautious. I now believe that what he said might be true. Hey, it would be interesting if we can really find a rare thing." The man in the sweatshirt laughed to himself.

"We are about to work together. If you don't mind, let's make a brief self-introduction and get to know each other. My name is Wei Li, and I'm a doctor at a small clinic in Tianchang City. The reason I came here is because my daughter is sick and needs money for surgery." The man with glasses and a slightly thin body said with a smile.

"Zhang Kaiwen." The man in the sweatshirt grinned and said, "I'm from another place. I borrowed a loan shark and couldn't pay it back, so I hid here. I came here just to make money. There's no other reason."

"Liu Yan, a local, has some talent for cultivation. I want to try to see if I can take the first step. However, cultivation requires money. My family is not well off, so I want to fight for myself. After all, I can't save 100,000 yuan in ten years of normal work. Even if I really make money, I will be too old to cultivate."

The woman in the suspender skirt spoke very seriously, and her eyes showed her inner reluctance and desire.

Li Yi said: "My name is Li Yi. I have just told Lao Ya about the situation. You should have heard it. I will not say any more nonsense here."

Finally, everyone's eyes turned to the last tall and burly man with a square face.

The man sat in the car with his arms crossed, his muscles bulging, looking serious. He spoke in a loud voice: "My name is Wang Hu, I came from Hong Kong. Don't compare me with you losers. I came here just to earn some pocket money during my trip. In my eyes, you are just extras, but I, Wang Hu, am destined to subvert this world."

"."other people.

Hey man, why are you different from others?
As the vehicle stopped, a half-ruined building stood before our eyes. A cordon had been set up around the building, and slogans warning people to stay away from dangerous buildings were posted everywhere. The nearby buildings were also badly damaged, and every building was incomplete, as if some huge disaster had suddenly occurred at some point in time.

"Is this the abandoned city area?"

Li Yi got out of the car and looked around, but there was no one else around. There were many abandoned cars parked on the road, and the surrounding wasteland was overgrown with weeds.

Few people come to the abandoned city area, not only because it has suffered huge damage, but also because there may be some unknown dangers lurking here. Only some outlaws or some people who have embarked on spiritual practice are willing to stay here.

"Old Crow, you are late."

At this time, a clear and loud sound of footsteps came from the dark building, and then a figure slowly walked out from the depths of the darkness. Although the appearance could not be seen clearly, it could be heard from the voice that it should be a woman, but the tone was particularly cold.

"We took a few detours on the road to avoid any accidents." Old Crow explained in a low voice.

The figure continued, "Only five people? If they were to go into this building, they wouldn't even make a splash. It's too few. We need at least ten people."

"Investigator Wang Jian is active in the old city area. I don't know if he received some news or it was a coincidence, but he appeared in Wangmen Community. I think the number of people involved in this operation should not be too large, otherwise it will be easy to be exposed. Although we are not sure what is inside this building, it is always better to be careful." Lao Ya said.

"Wang Jian? I understand. You did the right thing. This matter really cannot be known by other people. Just five people. Let's give it a try. If it fails, find another group." The woman said.

"Hey, from what you said, the five of us can only succeed and not fail? If we can't find what you want, does it mean that we will be silenced? This is different from what we said at the beginning." Zhang Kaiwen took a few steps forward and asked with a frown.

However, he had just finished speaking when the next moment.

In the darkness of the building, a pair of eyes suddenly lit up, as if a light suddenly appeared.

Buzz!

At this moment, Li Yi felt a buzzing in his head and tinnitus started instantly. Everything in front of his eyes went dark and he could not see anything. At the same time, a feeling of nausea and vomiting came over him.

Fortunately, this feeling comes and goes quickly.

When he came to his senses, he saw Zhang Kaiwen, who had just spoken, suddenly kneeled on the ground. His face was extremely pale, and he vomited violently. At the same time, blood was constantly flowing out of his eyes, ears, and nostrils. He looked miserable and scary.

Liu Yan, who was standing by, opened her eyes wide at this moment, revealing a look of disbelief and fear: "Is this... an eyewitness?"

"Witness? What is that?" Li Yi asked immediately. "The eyes can kill people. This is something that can only be mastered after truly entering the practice. She is no longer an ordinary person. At least she is a practitioner who has opened the psychic medium." Liu Yan seemed to know a lot. Although her tone was filled with fear, it also contained a bit of envy and desire.

"Has this person become a psychic?" Li Yi was also stunned.

Although he didn't know much about spiritual practice, he had seen and heard of it in this era.

The first level of spiritual practice is mediumship.

Although becoming a medium is the first step in spiritual practice, this step is actually a gap that keeps countless people out.

Because there is something wrong with spiritual practice in this world.

If a normal person practices cultivation, he will either get seriously ill or go crazy and insane, and finally die in pain.

Even if the problem of cultivation is overcome, the speed of cultivation is extremely slow. Li Yi knows that a child of a relative has been practicing at home for five years. During these five years, he did nothing every day, but had a big appetite and could eat, sleep and defecate. As a result, he has gained nothing so far.

Finally, relatives and friends concluded that this child might not be practicing, but was most likely just relying on his parents for support.

And this is not an isolated case, it happens in many families.

There are many people who spend three to five years practicing but end up with nothing.

The risks and benefits are not proportional, and it takes a lot of time, which makes many people give up practicing. Only families with good conditions are willing to spend money and time to let their children try it. Of course, there are also many poor families who tighten their belts to support a practitioner.

“Be careful with your words next time. This time I’m just teaching you a lesson. Don’t be too self-righteous. If I really want to kill you in this abandoned city, I guarantee that I won’t be able to find any trace.” As the footsteps continued, the mysterious woman appeared in the ruined building.

She was tall, wearing a tight-fitting dress, with a long ponytail that fell to her waist. There was an indelible coldness on her fair face, and her eyes were very special, with white pupils that seemed to be glowing slightly.

"Lao Ya, transfer the money to them and tell them to take action immediately. Don't try to play any tricks. I will be watching you secretly. If anyone is not honest during this period, I guarantee that you will not be able to leave here alive." After saying this, the woman glanced at everyone, then turned and left.

Soon, her figure blended into the darkness of the abandoned building and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Hey, what a hateful woman. She almost got killed. People who truly embark on spiritual practice are so powerful. At that moment just now, I thought my brain was going to explode. That kind of method is called witnessing, right? Damn it, I will borrow money from loan sharks to continue my spiritual practice." Zhang Kaiwen stood up staggeringly, and he spat, spitting out blood mixed with saliva.

"That was really exciting just now. It seems that this trip of mine is not boring. Haha, I'm starting to get a little excited." Wang Hu laughed loudly.

Wei Li, a doctor, wiped his glasses and said, "This method of witnessing is indeed dangerous. It seems to target the human brain, similar to a mental shock. Ordinary people have no means to defend themselves. To deal with this kind of attack, only practitioners who have also opened their spiritual medium can do it. I just don't know what the maximum range of this kind of witnessing is. Can it be blocked by walls or buildings?"

Li Yi remained quiet and didn't say anything. He rubbed his dizzy head, still feeling a lingering fear.

I was probably just affected by the attack and not the main target.

The impact alone was so serious. If that woman took it seriously, Zhang Kaiwen would definitely die and there would be no possibility of survival.

"If it's just a warning, it's a bit harsh. Is it because we came to the abandoned city, or is it that people who have embarked on spiritual practice no longer take ordinary people seriously?" Li Yi thought to himself, and then he felt his cell phone vibrate.

I took it out and saw the text message showing that 50,000 yuan had been deposited into the account.

Others also received reminders almost at the same time.

Lao Ya said in a deep voice: "The money has been paid, don't dawdle, start the action, I will slowly tell you some relevant information via text message after you enter the building."

"The time for small talk is over, let's go, losers."

Wang Hu took the lead. He ignored everyone else and strode towards the collapsed building in front.

"Hey, Wang Hu, don't be so impulsive. Lao Ya just said that this abandoned building is haunted." Zhang Kaiwen said.

　Let me talk about the update situation. Before it goes on sale, there will be two updates a day (4,000 to 6,000 words)

　　Thank you all for your support and rewards.
