Chapter One Hundred and Twenty Seven Dead of the Night
Hearing Mei Yougan's voice, Zuo Thirteen and others gathered around. Sure enough, they saw a Buddha statue with only half exposed under the cement wall of the pig pen, while the other half was covered with hay.
The sky was dark. Zuo Thirteen squatted down and took a closer look. He found that it was a bronze Buddha statue. Zuo Thirteen stretched out his hand and took the Buddha statue out from under the hay.
The fat man on the side turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone and helped Zuo Thirteen with light.
Thirteenth from the left began to observe the Buddha statue carefully, and did not see anything unusual on the Buddha statue. Judging from the production process and the overall patina of the Buddha statue, it must have been at least several decades old.
How could this kind of Buddha statue that should be enshrined in a temple or at home appear in a pig pen?
"What's going on with this Buddha statue?" Wu Qian asked.
"It should be used for suppression, isn't there someone who just died in this pigsty? The old man is probably afraid that the ghosts of the dead are still alive, so he got a Buddha statue like this to ward off evil spirits." The fat man guessed.
Zuo Shisan did not speak, but stood up and walked out with the Buddha statue. He came to the old man Li Laosi and asked:
"Uncle, does the Buddha statue in this pigsty belong to you?" When Zuo Shisan said this, he had been observing Li Laosi's facial expression.
Li Laosi stared at the Buddha statue in Thirteen Left's hands for a while and said:
"No, I've never seen this thing before..." His expression was natural and his tone was correct. It didn't sound like he was lying.
Zuo Shisan nodded and was about to put the Buddha statue away when Li Laosi suddenly shouted:
"What are you doing? Since this Buddha statue was found in my pigsty, it belongs to me. Why do you take it away?!"
Zuo Shisan looked at Li Laosi and explained:
"Uncle, to tell you the truth, this Buddha statue is a bit weird. It is different from normal Buddha statues. There are generally three forms of Buddha statues, sitting, standing, and lying down. But this Buddha statue has its knees slightly bent..."
"Don't say it's useless, just bring it to you!" the old man said, reaching out and grabbing the Buddha statue from Zuo Shisan's hand.
The fat man beside him immediately became angry:
"Old man, what are you doing?! Can you be polite? No one here owes you money!"
The old man stared at the fat man with an impatient expression:
"Have you finished reading? Hurry up and leave as soon as you finish reading. Don't delay me from doing my business!"
The fat man was about to speak, but was stopped by Zuo Shisan:
"Okay, let's go!" Said Zuo Shisan, he turned around and took one last look at the pig pen. Except for the lack of fire in the south, there were no major problems in Feng Shui for the five elements of the pig pen. Even if they continued to stay, there would be no problem. No problem found.
When they returned to Fatty's house, it was completely dark. There was a power outage in the village that night. Fatty's mother found two candles and lit them in the living room, and then took out some melon seeds and dried fruits to entertain Zuo Shisan and Mei Youqian.
Mei Youqian looked at the phone that was about to be turned off and sighed:
"Oh, I should have gone online to play the peak match at this point, but now the lack of power has delayed things."
As soon as the fat man heard Mei Youqian's words, he immediately became energetic:
"Brother, do you also play king? What position do you usually play?"
"I can do it all, I'm proficient in all five paths!" Mei You said.
The fat man looked at Mei Youqian with some doubts:
"Oh? Let's play black together when we have time."
"No problem, little brother, I will take you to Glory in a minute!" Mei Youqian said and patted his chest.
Zuo Shisan kept asking Fatty's mother about recent events in the village. From what Fatty's mother said, Zuo Shisan initially judged that the murders in the village were not man-made, but were most likely caused by the dead souls. What you did.
Just when Zuo Shisan was about to go out for a walk, the cell phone in his pocket rang.
Zuo Shisan took out his mobile phone and saw an unfamiliar number, so he pressed the answer button:
"Hello."
"Hello, sir, I am Han Ziyu, a member of the paranormal investigation team. Did you report the case three hours ago?" A middle-aged man's voice came from the phone.
Thirteen from the left nodded:
"Yes, where are you now?" It was already dark now, and there was a sudden power outage in the village. Zuo Shisan was worried that the evil spirit hiding in the village would come out early to harm others.
The voice on the phone immediately replied:
"We have arrived at the entrance of Chengguan Village. If it is convenient for you, come to the south entrance to pick us up. We need to put down the equipment first, and then we will go with you to the specific location where the supernatural case occurred in the village."
"Okay, wait a minute, I'll be there right away." Zuo Shisan said and hung up the phone, leaving Fatty and Mei Youqian to stay at home. He went to pick up the members of the paranormal investigation team at Fatty's home first.
After walking out of the yard, Zuo Shisan walked quickly towards the south of the village in the darkness.
After entering the night, there was no one on the road in the whole village. Everyone returned home early, and the doors and windows were closed. Some villagers even had door gods posted on their doors, for fear that the evil spirits would find their homes.
Zuo Thirteen crossed the small road and came to the main road in the middle of the village. He walked along the road to the south. Soon Zuo Thirteen saw a car on the roadside at the end of the village, with its lights still on.
Zuo Shisan quickly walked over and came to the car. He looked through the window and saw that there was no one in the white pickup truck!
So Zuo Shisan looked around, and there was no one around, it was quiet.
"Is there anyone?!" Zuo Shisan shouted, but there was no response.
Zuo Shisan was a little stunned immediately. The car of the paranormal investigation team was still there, and it was not turned off. Why were the people missing?
He took out his cell phone, found the number he had just called, and dialed it back immediately.
Zuo Shisan was startled by the cell phone ringing that suddenly rang in the car!
Zuo Shisan looked into the car window and found that his mobile phone was placed on the passenger seat. The screen lit up and was ringing loudly. The mobile phone number displayed on it was his!
Seeing this, a bad premonition suddenly came to Zuo Shisan's mind. He first hung up the phone, then opened the car door, and after making sure that there was no one in the car, he shouted again:
"Hello, is anyone here?!"
What answered him was still the endless darkness and deathly silence around him.
Except for the sound of the running car engine, there was no other sound in the entire village, not even a scream could be heard.
Something is wrong! Why did the members of the paranormal investigation team who just called me suddenly disappear, with no one alive or dead?
Have they already...
Thinking of this, Zuo Shisan broke out in a cold sweat. The team members who can be sent out by the organization to investigate supernatural events all have rich experience and the ability to exorcise evil spirits. If even they have no room to fight back, then How terrifying are the innocent souls hiding in this village?
Thinking of this, Zuo Shisan suddenly felt as if something was staring at him from behind, and a chill ran down his spine.
He turned his head sharply and saw that there was only a dirt road leading to the dark end and nothing there.
Zuo Shisan took a deep breath, took out his cell phone and was about to dial Fatty's number, intending to remind them to prepare in advance, when he was suddenly greeted by a piercing scream!
"Ah~Help!!!"
The heart-rending sound, filled with endless despair and fear, came from the west of the village. Just as Zuo Shisan was about to go over, out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of a black figure rushing up from his right side!
