I asked Hu Zongren, what do you think we should do now? Hu Zongren turned off the drilling machine, thought for a while and said, the workers will come back and continue working soon. If we want to do something, we probably have to wait until night. I think
He looked at his watch and said that it was only the afternoon, and there were still several hours before we got off work. Where do you want us to hang out during this time? Besides, there will be construction all night in the factory tonight. Mr. Xia quickly said, if we can do it at night
To resolve the matter, he could stop working for one night, but I'm afraid he couldn't do it in the afternoon, because if the matter was half done, it would be difficult to continue.
Hu Zongren thought for a while and said, well, let's ask first to see if this female ghost is generally malicious or non-malicious. However, considering that it injured a worker's hand before, I'm afraid it doesn't mean anything.
What a good intention, but it harmed people but didn't kill them. I couldn't figure out why. I nodded, thinking that I could only ask for now. So Hu Zongren walked to the door of the factory and stood at the head of the factory.
One night, where the worker saw the short-haired female ghost, he squatted down and took out three stacks of paper money, the kind of yellow straw paper money. The paper money for worshiping the dead in the southwest is different from that in the north. The north may choose more of that kind of paper money.
Small discs similar to copper coins, while in the southwestern region they are divided into long coins and short coins.
The long coin is three-folded, but the short coin has only one single page, which means "there are old people at the top and small ones at the bottom." The long coin means that the appendices will continue for future generations, which is a beautiful vision, while the short coin is
Tell the deceased that you died young, lived a short life, and lived for too little time. Although many ghosts may not meet this condition when they die, this is an old and established rule. If you want to follow inheritance,
It is precisely the paper money made from Chinese papyrus and the folded gold and silver ingots that the deceased can receive after being burned to ashes. And those with US dollars and RMB printed on them are mostly just novelty objects, not necessarily
Can be harvested.
Since there was no way to know the identity of the short-haired female ghost, Hu Zongren could only pay respect to all the big ghosts and little ghosts around him. Because most of the buildings here were from the 1980s, many people who lived nearby may have
They are no longer alive. Although I don’t know if they are still here like this short-haired female ghost and refuse to leave, but since they are not causing trouble, Hu Zongren and I can’t find them even if we are 10 times more capable than we are now.
of.
Among Hu Zongren's three stacks of money paper, two stacks are long coins and one is short coins. The short coins are in the middle and the long coins are placed on both sides. The three stacks of money papers are arranged like a Chinese character "chuan". Then Hu Zongren
He took out a three-string coin. It was not so much a three-string coin, but actually only three copper coins. The copper coins were tied to each other with a red rope. Hu Zongren pressed the three coins on three stacks of money paper, and then lit incense candles.
, tilting the incense candle in the direction of the money paper is to allow the dripping wax oil and incense ash to fall on the money paper. Hu Zongren told me that this is because in addition to the incense candle being designated for the deceased, the money paper and the money paper
Copper coins must use these things to establish a connection with the deceased, which can be regarded as a spiritual call in a sense.
When the first drop of wax oil dropped, Hu Zongren began to close his eyes and recite the mantra. At this moment, one of the candles and the incense on that side began to burn faster than the other side. Usually this situation indicates that it is
Here it comes. Holding the red string in my hand, I asked Mr.
There was some interference, but soon there was an obviously different reaction on the compass. I was standing in the house, which meant that something had come in and was near me.
During this period of time, new cases have been coming one after another, and every time there are some situations that I did not expect. Since working with Hu Zongren and fighting Xuanyuanhui, I still feel a little different from when I was handling cases alone. I used to feel that
This job is easy, but you will be mentally tortured because you will constantly replace yourself with the misery of others. When you are with Hu Zongren, this feeling is obviously much weaker, because in the end, these
The case was all because of Hu Zongren, and he was the real connection with the victims. To put it nicely, he was a helper, and to put it worse, he was meddling in other people's business. But these days, things have become weird.
The degree was something we had not expected before. Twenty-Four Strange Cases must have something that can be called "strange". So when I saw the compass in my hand suddenly shaking, I might have been obviously nervous before.
I got up, but now it's relatively dull, because I know that if I can't fight this ghost, then no matter how well prepared I am, I will never be able to fight it. But fortunately, the little gangsters of my level, those powerful ones
It’s so fierce that it’s not my turn to have a chance to see it.
Judging from the compass, there was something wandering around me for a few seconds and then left. As for the direction of departure, I didn’t know, but I was sure it wasn’t the corner where Mr. Xia was standing. Soon I heard
There was a whining roar. The sound was not loud. It was very similar to the sound made by robots in science fiction movies when they stretched and retracted their arms. I followed the sound and realized that it was the one that had malfunctioned before.
The printing press started up again on its own.
Before the workers left, Mr. Xia made sure that the machine was labeled "failure", which meant that the power supply must have been unplugged. So I immediately went around to the back of the machine to look for it, and found it along the lines.
The power supply, as described by Mr.
Since there is a leakage protection device, it proves that such a high-power machine may have leakage when using this type of power supply. Although I don’t understand English, I can tell from the pattern on the socket cover.
, is to remind the operator to hold the completely insulated part of the wire or put on electrician's gloves or the like. It is only plugged in, indicating that the ghost is afraid of being electrocuted. Since it knows that it is afraid, it proves that it is afraid of electric shock.
She's not completely in a trance yet. If she's not completely confused, either the short-haired woman died not long ago, or she was carrying a very strong resentment.
Of course I don’t want it to be the latter, because every time I untie a piece of resentment, I am already filled with resentment. Soon the printing machine began to roll up the paper on the paper tube, probably adjusting the position by itself, and then started
Sliding back and forth, the paper was spit out bit by bit, and a painting appeared on it. The content of the painting was almost the same as the one Mr. Xia showed us in the office earlier, but there were differences when we looked carefully.
. In this way, this painting and the previous one should not be photos, but a fragment in the mind. The female ghost controlled the machine and printed out this fragment of herself. In doing so, it can only have
One purpose is to convey some kind of information.
Only a few rows of the picture were printed, and the machine stopped on its own. I saw Monk Zhang Er scratching his head, because although I like beautiful legs, if you ask me to look at such a picture with only the lower body and legs crossed, I really can't guess.
Come out. At this moment, all the other machines in the factory suddenly became quiet. This sudden silence made people feel very uneasy. Then there was a sound of "Boom! Boom! Boom!" in my ears.
There was an echo in the room. Judging from the expressions of Hu Zongren and Mr. Xia, they also heard the sound.
Mr. Xia said in a panic, no...yes, it was this sound. The sound I heard going upstairs in the office that night was exactly the same. Because there was an echo, I couldn't tell which direction the sound was coming from.
When I came out and was looking around, the glass on the window in the corner of the factory suddenly shattered and collapsed. It was the window where Mr. Xia saw the short-haired female ghost in the reflection.
This is a very bad sign, because Hu Zongren and I know very well that if a ghost wants you to see it, it is generally very fearless, which means that although it cannot defeat us, it may not necessarily be there.
Afraid of us. And if a ghost does not show up, but keeps giving you some inexplicable message fragments for you to piece together, and even breaks the glass and makes a lot of noise during this period, this often means that it is a little unhappy, specifically.
No one can tell how unhappy I am.
I quickly lowered my head to look at the compass. The rotation speed was slightly stronger than before, which confirmed my guess. For the sake of safety, I told Hu Zongren and Mr. Xia that I think we should not stay here for the time being. Hu Zongren drew
Put the talisman on the back of that machine. Let's leave first and come back in the evening. Ghosts are more likely to be forced to appear at night, and because everyone is resting, our work in this corner will not attract attention.
After Hu Zongren swore a curse word, he kicked aside the incense paper money in front of him, as if he didn't want to serve him any more, then he drew and pasted the talisman, then turned around and followed us out of the factory. I told Mr. Xia on the way
, if possible, it is best to ask your workers not to come back today. It will be time to get off work soon. If you delay, just delay it a little. It is better than letting the workers get injured. Mr. Xia agreed with me.
, so while walking, we called the workers one by one and told them not to come back. Then we found an American fast food restaurant nearby where we could sit there all day just by ordering a Coke. We discussed countermeasures and waited for dark.
.
At about 9pm, we left the restaurant and found a roadside stall to eat grilled fish. We wasted our time just because a little later, the number of pedestrians on the road began to decrease, and there were even fewer people on the old street.
At that time, we started again. We kept hanging out like this until almost 11:30, Mr. Xia stayed with us all the time, and of course he paid the money. Then we walked towards the factory. The lights on the path at night were white.
This originally brightest color seemed so dim now. Standing at the entrance of the path, we looked around for a while and saw that almost no one was passing by, so we walked down.
The distance from the entrance to the factory gate is almost a straight line, although it is slightly sloping, about 50 meters. After walking halfway to the factory, Hu Zongren suddenly reached out and stopped me, staring in the direction of the factory.
It means that both of you don't move. I saw his serious expression and followed his gaze. Although there was a white street lamp hanging on the outer wall of the factory building, it was still dim even from a distance. I could only vaguely see
I saw a dark shadow squatting where Mr. Xia was standing when he saw the reflection earlier. It was rustling and sneaky.
"You're blocking me..." I immediately thought of what Mr. Xia told me about the female ghost.
