Mr. Du seemed a little surprised when he heard that Hu Zongren got to the point so directly. So he glanced at Zhao Jing subconsciously, indicating that she was really an expert. Then he said to Hu Zongren, she was wearing white clothes, only had a face, no facial features, and curly hair.
woman.
When Hu Zongren and I heard that Mr. Du described this in such detail, it showed that the manager who had the ghost this time was not only unbelievable to him, but even unforgettable, otherwise he would not have remembered it so clearly. But when he mentioned that he had no face, this made me
I really didn’t expect it. Usually the ghosts we encounter are more or less directly related to the state of their lives. In other words, if there are video materials or photos, the person who knew this ghost in life is
Basically, they can be recognized at a glance. However, there are also some ghosts who are unwilling to show their true colors because of avoidance or unwillingness. Just like the case that Hu Zongren and I helped the private detective handle at Jiefangbei some time ago.
Similarly, the female ghost fabricated herself as a beautiful woman to confuse living people. But what is the purpose of being faceless?
Many years ago, I once watched a Stephen Chow movie. I have forgotten the name. There was a villain in the movie who was a faceless man. And in our folklore, this kind of faceless man is also mentioned.
There have been certain records by people. For example, "Lin'an Prefecture Chronicles" once recorded some anecdotes from various places before the Qing Dynasty, including some stories about ghosts. This book I read is a revised version by a Qing Dynasty scholar.
The large number of ancient texts made me, a young man who dropped out of high school, feel like I could tear this book up with just one claw. But that book was passed down by a master’s master. If I were to tear it up, the master would probably have to tear it up on me.
Well, in this book, in addition to recording various major categories of ghosts in folklore, such as starving ghosts, hanged ghosts, hanged ghosts, etc., it also records some ghosts and monsters.
There are certain explanations for the species among them, and one of them is called the "faceless ghost".
Face is a face, so there is no face, so it is called "faceless" in that book. This kind of speciation is said to be very special. It is a combination of some negative emotions, such as shame, inferiority, loneliness, etc. "
This type of ghost was described in "Lin'an Zhifu". If translated into today's vernacular, it roughly means this: people have seven emotions and six desires, and various different emotions affect people's expressions, and people happen to be the expressions and emotions in life.
The most emotional group, such as anger and anger, both belong to the category of "anger", but the expressions on their faces are not the same. Smiling and laughing also belong to the category of "laughing", but the way of expression is different from the intense one.
The degree is also very different, so when some excessive negative emotions are concentrated on a ghost, then it will gradually not know what kind of expression it should use to express it. Over time, it will become only the face shape and
It has an outline, but no facial features.
In addition, there are some descriptions of such ghosts, but most of them are conjectures of later generations and have not been verified. In the past, masters who claimed to have encountered such ghosts also left notes, but they have no actual verification.
Its description is very different. Because it has no facial features, men and women can only be distinguished by their hairstyle or body shape. Because it has no expression, we cannot guess whether it is happy or angry. Moreover, it varies according to the height, shortness, fatness and thinness of the deceased.
It is difficult to agree on appearance, but in almost all the depictions of faceless ghosts I have seen, everyone will mention the following common points. First, they will find ways to actively attract other people's attention because of their negative emotions.
One of them is loneliness, and there are many types of loneliness. Some people are lonely because they want to have fun, and some people are lonely but just want to find someone to accompany them, even if they don't talk. Secondly, they usually don't take the initiative to hurt people.
It also comes from the inferiority complex in its negative emotions. It wants to be in contact with people, but is afraid of contact with people. The contradiction itself is also a kind of negative information. Thirdly, this kind of ghost has no fixed temperament and is basically a lunatic. But once it
If it offends someone, it will basically be a disaster.
But even so, with a wealth of theoretical knowledge as a basis, I have never seen such a ghost, not even my master has seen it.
Hu Zongren asked Mr. Du to tell the story of the matter as carefully as possible, because the more detailed he told it, the less detours we would make. Mr. Du told us that the beginning of the matter probably started a year ago, when
I had just taken over the house. The community was new, so I entrusted a decoration company to decorate it. Due to my busy work, I couldn't keep an eye on the construction progress, so during those few months, I had been living in the house.
Elsewhere. Hu Zongren interrupted him and asked, where were you living at that time? Mr. Du said that he applied for this job soon after returning to China and the income was pretty good, so he also mortgaged another house a few years ago.
Since I feel that I am getting older, I also want to move to a bigger house and see if it is time to get married.
Hu Zongren nodded and motioned for Mr. Du to continue. Mr. Du said that his new house had been renovated for several months, and he was very satisfied after the decoration was completed, so he paid the wages and put grapefruit peel white vinegar and the like in the new house.
The smell was removed and the windows were opened for ventilation. I put it aside for another two months before I hired a moving company to move in. When I first moved in, it was almost exactly one year ago.
Mr. Du said that not long after he moved in, he always felt that when he was sleeping at night, there would always be a strange sound coming from the direction of the bedside, which lasted for just a few seconds, just that one, and then it would be quiet all night.
. I asked him if he could describe what the sound was like. Mr. Du said that his bed was a solid wood bed with a wooden headboard and was attached to the wall. The sound was like someone using five hands.
The claw-like nails made a sound like scratching wood. After saying that, Mr. Du stretched out his hand and scratched gently and evenly on the table where we were eating, making a coherent but clear sound.
Mr. Du went on to say that since it is a new community, he had to catch up with the procrastinating renovations and become the first batch of owners to move in. At the same time, many homes in the same building were also being renovated. Mr. Du said that because
The reason for the size of his bedroom was that when he was renovating it, he dug out an extra 9 centimeters on the wall at the head of the bed. Only half of the original 18 centimeters wall was left, so when he heard this sound several times before
At that time, I thought it was the sound coming from other houses during renovation, or the sound coming from the pipes behind the wall, and I didn't pay attention to it. After more than a month, the sound suddenly disappeared, and sometimes it only appeared for a month.
He heard it once, but that time he heard it. But later on, the sound appeared more frequently.
Mr. Du said that when he moved to a new home, many things were replaced with new ones, so the house was relatively empty at first. After half a year, some of the things that needed to be added were almost complete, so he only had more time to notice these things.
The strangest thing about the subtle movements was that he gradually discovered that the sound appeared regularly. No matter how late he went to bed, the sound would always come when he was lying on the bed, playing with his mobile phone and reading a book, taking off his glasses and closing his eyes.
It occurs after a few minutes when sleepiness is brewing. At that time, I am usually not asleep, but my heart is very quiet, so I can detect the appearance of this sound at once.
He went on to say that from that time on, the sound gradually began to appear more and more frequently. From once a month at first, it became once every half month, then once a week, and last month, it actually happened.
It appeared several times every week, sometimes three or four times a day. Hu Zongren said with a smile, are you addicted to scratching the wooden board? After saying that, he burst out laughing, but no one agreed with him, so he found one for himself
After walking down the stairs, I continued to ask Mr. Du what happened next. Mr. Du said that during that time, he sometimes waited for the sound to appear, trying to find out where it came from, but he finally let himself listen.
Once we arrived, the sound came from the wood at the head of his bed. Hu Zongren asked him why you were sure it was there. Mr. Du said that it was because after hearing the sound, he scratched the board with his hand and found that the sound was actually the same.
of.
Mr. Du said that he didn't think there was anything too strange at the time, because the sound was very small after all, and it was not enough to affect his rest. He thought it was probably new furniture, wood expansion, or something like that. But gradually, it became more than just that.
Sometimes the bedside and the wardrobe on the other side of the bed will suddenly make a muffled sound, as if something fell on the wooden board, but the sound never appears together with the sound from the bedside.
Yes, they are all separated from each other.
Hu Zongren asked him, "Didn't you open the wardrobe and check it at that time?" Mr. Du said, of course he had checked it. Their wardrobe is divided into upper and lower floors. The upper floor is slightly smaller and is used to store your summer clothes and some foldable clothes.
For the clothes that were put up, the lower layer has a higher level of Kongjiao. There is a horizontal stainless steel stick used to hang down jackets, suits and the like. On the ground wooden boards on the lower layer, I also placed bed sheets, pajamas and other things. Wardrobe
The door is a sliding type. From this point of view, if it makes that muffled sound, something should fall on the wooden board. Now, the only thing in the wardrobe that can directly contact the wooden board is the door.
The back wall and the partitions between the upper and lower floors.
Mr. Du said, if it hits the door, the sound I hear will not be muffled. If it hits the back wall, then there is a solid wall behind it, and the sound will not be like this. There is only that layer of partitions, but what will happen?
Things can defy gravity and collide from bottom to top.
Mr. Du told us that since he thought about this, he began to be a little scared.
