Since there was still a long time before 11 o'clock in the evening, Hu Zongren and I bought some beer, shrimp crackers and other things from the small shop at the entrance of the community, planning to satisfy our hunger later if we were hungry. And the two of us
I also called Sister Cai and Fu Yunni respectively and said that we were busy tonight and we would not go back. Since both ladies knew that Hu Zongren and I were courageous guys, we stayed up all night.
I felt very relieved. On the way, we both took a detour to the hardware store and bought some candles, gypsum powder, and a bundle of relatively strong hemp rope.
After returning to Sister Zhu's house, we started to make some necessary preparations. I first opened the sliding door of the balcony, and then opened the kitchen window to allow air circulation in the whole room, but I still checked each entrance and exit accordingly.
For example, there are rope-head nails on the doorways and window openings. This is to prevent the ghost from entering the house through these channels during or before the summons, because as a ghost who commits suicide and dies in vain, it is better for us to fix the route for it.
It's better to avoid unnecessary trouble. If a fight breaks out, we will have to deal with it harshly. After finishing the house, I just left the window of Sister Zhu's bedroom untouched, just at a distance.
There is a trap painted on the ground next to the window to ensure that when it enters the house through this window, it will inevitably fall into my mattress.
We watched TV and drank beer until about 10 o'clock in the evening, and we started to prepare. Although we said we were playing by ear, in fact, we still discussed a lot of countermeasures with each other over such a long period of time. Now we have a few things that we must achieve.
purpose, otherwise there is no way to control this female ghost. The first is that we must find a way to lure it out, because we are not related to it, and have neither kindness nor resentment. In addition, Sister Zhu
It's not at home either, so it actually has no reason at all for us to see it, so we have to think of a trick to get it to take the bait. Since it appears on the roof of Sister Zhu's awning every now and then for almost a month, it means that
It arrived at this awning from a certain path, and there must be its residual supernatural reaction on that path. With the reaction, we should be able to attract it.
The second thing that must be achieved is that we have to get it into the house. The reason is that we cannot get the key of the resident on the 23rd floor, and this is the 22nd floor. In addition, neither Hu Zongren nor I have learned the levitation method.
Cool skills, so we must have a place to stay to chant the spell and send the soul away. Except for Sister Zhu’s bedroom, we have no place to go. But I believe that the soul of the innocent who committed suicide will not follow us in willingly. In other words, we
We may have to "catch" it in. If the first two conditions are met, the third and most critical step is to send it away. Before that, we must try our best to resolve its resentment and let it go.
Relieve, otherwise even if we leave, we will not be able to leave cleanly. When the time comes, we will have to fight back, which Hu Zongren and I will not be able to bear.
So we turned off the TV, brought all the tools to Sister Zhu's room, lifted the quilt and put it on the bed. Hu Zongren took out two thick white candles and lit them on both sides of the lower edge of the window. Then Hu Zongren went
I went to the kitchen of Sister Zhu’s house and found a big white radish. Then I split it in half and laid the section flat on the ground. Then I took out a large handful of incense, lit it together and put it on the radish. In fact, it doesn’t have to be a radish, soap
Even plastic foam will do, as long as it can hold the incense in place.
Hu Zongren took out the gypsum powder from the pile of things he bought before, then stood on the window sill, stirred a little with his own saliva, and sealed the small opening on the awning. Then he grabbed a handful more
I held the dry gypsum powder in my hand and blew it hard towards the inside of the awning. In an instant, white powder flew everywhere. I covered my nose with my hand, but I didn't blame Hu Zongren for his poor powder blowing skills.
, because I know he did this to use this powder, but there is something easier to see as a medium. Ghosts, like people, will affect the surroundings due to their own movement during movement, resulting in subtle changes. The powder of gypsum
It has almost no weight, and it is also the most easily affected, so if the female ghost appears later, its energy field will raise the powder in advance, giving us a few seconds more to make predictions.
The purpose of lighting incense is to enchant the souls, because Hu Zongren and I had previously guessed that apart from the female ghost, there might not be any other ghosts around the 22nd floor. So if this incense can enchant the souls, there is a good chance that
The female ghost will be lured out in eight or nine. But this alone is not enough. As I said, we must find a way to lure it out. This requires us to use Sister Zhu’s previous description of the cause and death of this person.
To make a guess, if I chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building because I was rudely scolded by the leader and was insulted to the point of losing my dignity, then the words I said must have hurt her heart very much. Considering that they are cleaning staff,
As Sister Zhu said, most of them are migrant workers or laid-off employees of enterprises. Perhaps it is because their lives are not very good that they come to this job that is both heavy-paying and low-paying. So Hu Zongren and I guessed that the person at that time
When the department store leader insulted the cleaning lady, he must have ridiculed her in some of these places, so Hu Zongren and I planned to put on a show later, and the female ghost appeared in anger.
Hu Zongren unwrapped the roll of hemp rope and threw it to me and said, "Put it on your waist. In fact, I have always been curious about why Hu Zongren bought such a roll of hemp rope at that time. I also wondered if there was something special about their Yaoshan sect."
The technique can tie up ghosts with hemp rope. Who would have known that he would ask me to tie it on at this moment? I asked him why he tied it on, and Hu Zongren told me that I overlapped the rope in three strands, and I would tie the other end to the thick rope in the bathroom later.
On the water pipe, you put it on your waist and then lean out. When the female ghost appears, use your rope to grab it and pull it in.
What? After working on it for a long time, you still prepared this broken rope for me! It’s pitch dark outdoors and it’s on the 22nd floor. You can’t figure it out. So I scolded Hu Zongren and said, brother, wake up quickly, it’s so dangerous.
You know I will never do it. It's a good thing you just told me now, why don't you go by yourself? Hu Zongren smiled and said, I'm afraid of heights...you fart! I cursed, I was pulling the cliff in that dilapidated house.
Why didn't you say you were afraid of heights when you were shitting? I threw the rope on the bed and refused to say anything. Hu Zongren said to me, you are smaller than me and lighter than me. There are only two of us here.
You have to get one. If you really don't want to, I have no choice but to call Fu Yunni and ask her to come over. I know he is deliberately angry with me. In fact, I also know that what he said is the best way to prevent the female ghost from appearing.
I grabbed it the first time, but I had no experience working at heights at all, and I didn’t even know how to tie the rope to myself securely.
So I stopped talking. I knew that I would probably have to go in this time. With an uneasy feeling, we went to the bathroom, peed first and checked to see if the water pipe was tight. Fortunately, the water pipe was made of relatively thick iron.
Regardless, it was still enough to bear the weight of my body. So I calmed down and began to study how to tie a rope to myself. Hu Zongren enthusiastically came to help me, and he tied it for me quickly, and I struggled hard.
, it is really strong. So I asked Hu Zongren, you are quite good, who taught you this knot-tying skill?
Hu Zongren said, no one taught me, I learned it in movies. I asked him, what movie was it... forget it, just pretend I didn't ask.
I told Hu Zongren that if he saw my hands starting to get bandaged later, he would immediately pull the rope and pull me into the house. Hu Zongren agreed. So he wrapped the other end of the rope around the water pipe, and then walked to the rope himself
In the middle, I grabbed the rope in a tug-of-war posture. The rope was still wrapped around my arm a few times. He nodded to me to indicate that I could get on. I took a deep breath and slowly climbed out of the window. I tried not to look down because I was afraid.
I would pee. After standing on the window sill, I turned around and faced Hu Zongren. I asked Hu Zongren to tighten the rope first, then I held the edge of the window with both hands, and then asked Hu Zongren to slowly let go, and I did the same.
After he let go, the rope became longer and my body began to lean to the outside. I stood with my feet apart, squatting diagonally on the window sill in a posture similar to Zamabu. The awning was above my nose, and I adjusted
I adjusted my position so that I could see the situation upstairs directly over the awning. I said to Hu Zongren, okay, you can tie the knot. Hu Zongren quickly tied the knot, so that I could stand firmly, as long as my feet were
If I don't slip and hit the air, I won't fall.
The night in Chongqing is a world of neon lights. Even though it was already late at night, under the surrounding neon lights, I could even clearly see the empty windows on the 23rd floor. Seeing that the large handful of incense was almost finished, I asked Hu Zongren to stand by the window.
I started to recite the soul-inviting mantra. I acted a one-man show by myself and cursed:
"Poor migrant workers like you are all coming to the city, leaving many city residents without a job!"
"For people like you, it's better to die and save food for the country!"
"I don't think you're a good guy. You look honest, but you must be secretly molesting men and stealing women from prostitutes!"
…
I just cursed like this. At first, I was worried about causing the siege of the surrounding residents and I didn’t dare to curse loudly. Later, I didn’t care so much anymore. After I cursed for a few minutes, I suddenly smelled a smell of dust in my nose. I looked carefully.
When I saw it, the gypsum powder that Hu Zongren had blown up on the awning was falling down. I knew it was coming, so I immediately took out the red rope, looked at the top of the awning, and waited nervously. Just here.
At that time, a person suddenly crawled out from the window of a resident on the 23rd floor very quickly. If you have watched "The Grudge", you can imagine that the speed of Kayako when he climbed down from the attic was multiplied by 5 times. It looked like a spider, or in other words
It was a gecko, completely violating the rules of physics, lying on its head and feet on the outer wall of this building and crawling toward me. I saw its eyes, full of anger.
Gritting my teeth, I yelled, I'm talking about you! You stinky cleaner! Then, it pounced towards me.
