Chapter 763 The Disappeared Corpse
Chen Yile slowly came back to his senses from the illusion, but his heart was still immersed in the real feeling.
Every time he enters an illusion, he is like a lonely traveler, developing love, hate, and vengeance with the people in the illusion, but in the end he has to return alone to the underworld outside the illusion.
There was no time for him to catch his breath. Chen Yile took a deep breath, turned around and walked into the next illusion.
This is a casino full of temptations, with bright lights and sound effects coming like a tide, leaving people nowhere to escape.
The people here are either addicted to the pleasure of victory or shrouded in the shadow of loss.
Their eyes met, as if telling each other's secrets, and Chen Yile was the peeper, trying to peek into the darkness in everyone's heart.
The neon lights of Yunyang City flickered in the night sky. Chen Yile stood at the entrance of the "Jinding Entertainment City," watching the suited crowds file in.
He lowered his head and wrapped himself in his heavy coat, afraid of attracting other people's attention.
The lights in the entertainment city were dim and the clinking sounds of slot machines could be heard one after another.
Chen Yile squeezed in the crowd, his eyes fixed on the gambling table in the middle.
There sat a man wearing silver-rimmed glasses, with chips piled in front of him.
"Three fives!"
As the dealer's voice fell, the man with silver-rimmed glasses won another game.
His movements were smooth and fluid, as if he knew the outcome of each game very well.
The faces of the gamblers around were filled with shock, and some even cried out in surprise.
Chen Yile remembered his boss saying that this man was one of the most mysterious figures in Yunyang City. No one knew his origins, and no one had ever seen him lose a game.
Seeing him here tonight made Chen Yile feel incredible.
Suddenly, the moment the dice cup was opened, Chen Yile heard a faint sob.
The sound seemed to come from far away, and also seemed to come from inside the dice cup.
His pupils suddenly contracted and he stared at the man with silver-rimmed glasses.
Just then, Mr. Xu, the boss of the entertainment city, came over personally with an envelope full of cash.
He carefully put the envelope into the pocket of the man with silver-rimmed glasses. The man just nodded lightly, as if all this was taken for granted.
Chen Yile's heart was in his throat. He noticed that the moment Boss Xu turned to leave, a dark shadow flashed past the glass window of the casino.
It was a figure wearing a black robe, holding something in his arms.
"Follow him!" Chen Yile thought secretly.
When he looked up again, the man with silver-rimmed glasses had disappeared through the back door of the casino.
Chen Yile took a deep breath and quickly followed.
A faint light shone on the wet bluestone road, and the street lights swayed in the wind, casting mottled shadows.
When turning a corner, Chen Yile finally saw the dark shadow clearly.
It was a tall man in black, holding a baby in his arms.
What shocked him even more was that there seemed to be a baby crying softly in the cradle!
The man in black walked very fast, moving like the wind in the narrow alley. Chen Yile had to speed up to keep up with him.
The air was filled with a rotten smell mixed with the smell of rain.
Suddenly, an abandoned church appeared in front of us.
The man in black pushed open the creaking iron door and walked into the church.
Chen Yile hesitated for a moment, but still followed in.
The interior of the church was eerie and damp, with a faint fishy smell lingering in the air.
The moonlight filtered through the broken stained glass windows onto the ground, casting mottled shadows on the ground.
In the moonlight, Chen Yile saw a creepy scene. The walls of the church were covered with dark red marks, as if some sticky liquid was slowly oozing out.
And on the ground in the center of the church, a baby was crying loudly.
What made Chen Yile even more terrified was that the man with silver-rimmed glasses appeared in the church at some point.
There was a blue birthmark on the back of his neck, which looked particularly strange in the moonlight.
"enough."
The voice of the man with silver-rimmed glasses was hoarse and low, with an indescribable weirdness.
Chen Yile felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He wanted to turn around and run away, but found that he couldn't move.
The air in the church seemed to freeze, and the chill penetrated the bone marrow.
At this moment, the baby's cry suddenly became sharp and piercing.
The sound seemed to come from the depths of hell, making people shudder.
Chen Yile saw the man with silver-rimmed glasses slowly squat down and reach out to grab the baby.
"Wait!" Chen Yile finally spoke.
The man with silver-rimmed glasses turned his head suddenly, his eyes sharp.
Chen Yi then discovered with joy that behind the pair of silver-rimmed glasses were a pair of blood-red eyes!
That look made him tremble all over, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.
"Who are you?" the man with silver-rimmed glasses asked coldly.
Chen Yile swallowed and said, "I'm just passing by."
Before he could finish his words, hurried footsteps were heard outside the church, and several flashlight beams penetrated the church windows.
"We got him!"
"Don't let him get away!"
Chen Yile heard a chaotic noise coming from outside. He took the opportunity to rush to the other side of the church, pushed open a dilapidated small door, and escaped from the church.
As he ran, he looked back and saw several men in suits chasing him out.
They had strange smiles on their faces, as if they were not chasing criminals but hunting prey.
Chen Yile didn't dare to stay, he knew he had to find clues as soon as possible.
After returning home, he dug out a pile of notebooks left by his father. In an old diary, he found a passage written by his father:
"There's an abandoned church in Yunyang City. Legend has it that it's where the devil makes deals. Anyone who enters will disappear. I accidentally discovered the secret..."
Chen Yile's hands began to tremble. He realized that he might be involved in a terrible conspiracy.
The man with silver-rimmed glasses and the man in black holding the baby in his arms seemed to be hiding a secret that could not be told to anyone.
The next morning, Chen Yile went to the vegetable market, hoping to find someone to inquire about the church.
An old fishmonger told him that a pregnant woman died in childbirth near the church last month and her body has never been found.
Chen Yile's heart suddenly tightened. He thought of the baby he saw in the church last night.
Is it...
He didn't dare to think further, he felt unprecedented fear.
Chen Yile tossed and turned in bed, replaying the scene he saw in the church last night in his mind.
The crying of the baby, the strange look of the man with silver-rimmed glasses, and the dark red liquid seeping from the walls of the church, everything made him feel terrified.
He wanted to uncover the mystery very much, but at the same time he was aware that there might be great danger behind it.
The next morning, Chen Yile changed into a set of ordinary casual clothes, disguised himself as an ordinary gambler, and came to Jinding Entertainment City again.
