Chapter 199 The scapegoat

"After I learned about the supernatural incident for the first time, I once thought that if I knew what your generation did during the Republic of China, I might be able to completely solve the current supernatural incident."

Wang Xiaoming glanced at the steaming cup and did not take a sip of water. Instead, he continued: "But later I figured it out and felt that this was unrealistic, because judging from the current situation, it is obvious that you

Although I don’t know what method was used to temporarily calm down all the supernatural incidents, but today, the supernatural incidents are still getting out of control again.”

"So I came here today not to ask anything else, but to know, after so many years, have you old people who have lived for hundreds of years come to a conclusion that completely solves the supernatural incident?"

Wang Xiaoming didn't ask other questions. He didn't ask where ghosts came from, or how supernatural events were solved in the previous era.

He didn't care about the truth of the previous era, but he was curious whether those ghost masters who had lived from the previous era to the present could tell him a complete solution to supernatural events.

The old man in front of him is a living ghost controller from the Republic of China. Not only is he a top-notch being, he is also older than Mr. Qin.

Although Mr. Qin is nearly a hundred years old, according to the timeline, when he was born, it was already the early Republic of China, and he was not on the same timeline as these ghost controllers who were really active in the Republic of China period.

Based on this calculation, the old woman in front of me must be at least 120 years old, maybe even older.

Even if these older generation of ghost masters who were active in the Republic of China failed to completely suppress the supernatural phenomena of that era, after hundreds of years of baptism and so many years of thinking, these people may have come up with a plan that can completely solve the supernatural incidents.

Woolen cloth?

"Completely solve the supernatural incident..." the old woman said with emotion when she heard Wang Xiaoming's question.

Then, she shook her head and slowly said: "There are endless supernatural incidents, and there is no way to completely solve them."

Hearing this, Wang Xiaoming's face suddenly darkened.

He didn't come here to listen to the older generation of ghost masters exclaiming about the horror of the supernatural.

However, at the next moment, the old woman's drooping eyelids were slightly raised, and her pair of hazy eyes quietly stared at Li Leping and others in front of her: "However, we old guys who are still alive have also thought about it for many years, and we realized

The paths taken by ghost controllers before us, including those before the Republic of China, were all wrong, and they treated the symptoms but not the root cause."

"As a scientific researcher, you should be somewhat aware that before the Republic of China, that is, from a longer period of time, supernatural events have emerged in endlessly. Since then, the ancients have created various folk tales, such as Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio

Books like this have been handed down, and the contents in them are fictitious and true, but they all revolve around the supernatural, but they are more or less beautified."

"It's just that for ghost masters who have experienced so many eras, including people of our generation, their road has come to an end, and there is no possibility of moving forward."

"So if you ask me how to completely solve supernatural incidents, I can't give you an exact answer. I can only tell you the final result of our generation's discussion."

"Oh? I would like to hear the details." Wang Xiaoming's eyes flashed with passion, as if he was eager to know the results of the discussion of the previous generation.

The old woman did not worry, but took a sip of the steaming water, and then said: "Most of us have unified our opinions and chose to erase the traces of our past existence. We have not left behind the methods of our generation to control the evil spirits.

, because we hope that your generation will explore for themselves. Only by taking an unprecedented path in controlling the ghosts, and by experiencing some special unknown changes in the collision of supernatural events, can the most powerful ghost be born.

Special ghost controllers don’t have to worry about the ghosts reviving, they won’t be trapped in the life span of their physical body, and they won’t have their consciousness eroded by supernatural beings.”

"Only by creating such a special case, even if there is only such a special case, may it mean that supernatural events can be ended."

"Is that really the case..." Wang Xiaoming breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

At this moment, all the muscles in his body seemed to be relaxed.

Because the answer the old woman told him, although it could not allow him to directly solve the supernatural events, was countless times more important to him than solving a few supernatural events.

What the old lady said represents the last plan discussed by the previous generation.

This plan proves that Wang Xiaoming’s persistence is correct.

No matter how hard a person insists that his or her idea is right, there will eventually come a day when he becomes tired or even confused.

In the long-term work loss, an illusory goal will inevitably erode his faith every moment.

Wang Xiaoming is very determined and persistent, but he is also a human being.

As a human being, you will have thoughts, and there will always be a day when you question yourself.

It's just that a truly determined person will always be able to withstand the doubts again and again despite being exhausted physically and mentally.

At this moment, the words spoken by the old woman were tantamount to giving him a reassuring medicine.

This is equivalent to the recognition of his ideas by all the people of the previous generation who wanted to solve supernatural events.

Even though there was a gap of hundreds of years, through the bridge of the old woman, Wang Xiaoming finally confirmed that the idea he had always insisted on was correct.

Looking back to the Republic of China period, it makes no sense to dwell on the past. Instead, you will be limited to the past and cannot get any answers. The only truly feasible solution is to find your own way in this new era.

Otherwise, this era will fall into a cycle similar to the previous era, where a group of top ghost masters and a group of ordinary people will survive for another century.

But for the immortal ghosts, even if human beings try their best to support one century, what is the use of supporting ten centuries?

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Anyway, ghosts do not need to fight hard and have no sense of time.

This is an unfair confrontation.

"We can't place our hopes on future generations. Supernatural events must end in this era, even if I can't see that day, even if I can't decide the future of this era."

Wang Xiaoming's usual composure was broken at this moment. His eyes flashed with burning faith, and he whispered these words.

Hearing this, the old woman nodded slightly: "It's a good thing that you have such an idea."

As soon as she finished speaking, she slowly raised her hand from under the wooden table.

"this……"

Suddenly, the eyes of several people moved slightly.

The old woman's wrinkled hands slowly lifted up from under the table. In her hands, she actually held an ordinary bamboo basket, covered with a layer of blue floral cloth.

No one knows when this basket appeared in her hand, as if it appeared suddenly.

Immediately, Li Leping looked under his feet and found that the vegetable basket next to his feet had not moved at all, and the shape was exactly the same as the vegetable basket in the old woman's hand.

"Two identical vegetable baskets?"

Li Leping was a little surprised, but not surprised.

A small supernatural means, but he just can't do it.

The vegetable basket made of bamboo seemed to have something in it. It looked a little heavy and made a dull sound when it was placed on the table.

Just looking at the relaxed look on the old woman's face, Li Leping couldn't help but wonder whether there was anything in the basket.

But if you think about it carefully, her relaxed appearance is normal.

After all, rural women come from working backgrounds, and their strength may be much greater than that of young people in cities today.

"The collision between supernatural beings may create miracles, but there are also risks."

As she spoke, the old woman lifted up the blue floral cloth covering the vegetable basket.

"This is……"

Li Leping and the other three stood up slightly at the same time and peered into the vegetable basket.

Immediately, several people frowned.

This vegetable basket is not filled with vegetables, but filled with strange rag dolls.

The size of these rag dolls is only about the size of a palm, and their bodies are sewn from dirty old fabrics. The bodies sewn together with thin threads are stuffed with something unknown, and they emit a rotten corpse smell.

"This line..."

Li Leping probably guessed the purpose of this doll, but now he felt that the black thread of sewing the doll looked very familiar.

The thin black thread used to sew the doll's body. If you look carefully, you will find that this thread is definitely not cotton thread, because it is too thin, as thin as human hair.

Moreover, this black line looks like a woman's hair, because under normal circumstances, only women's hair will be grown so long.

Subconsciously, Li Leping cast his eyes towards the old woman.

The old woman still had that kind look on her face. She seemed to have understood what he was thinking and nodded towards him.

"Transferring ghosts..."

At this moment, Li Leping determined the source of the black line.

He even vaguely guessed what was stuffed inside the doll.

The rotten stuffing and the patchwork doll's hair seemed to have been cut from the body of the transfer ghost that looked like a female doll.

"Although the confrontation between supernatural beings may give birth to a special being, some of the ghosts encountered in supernatural events are beyond your ability to fight against. I hope that some of you will not easily fall into unnecessary events and live.

The longer you wait and the more experiences you have, the more hope you have of finding a special path."

At this time, the old woman took a look at the doll in the basket, and then expressed her goodwill to Wang Xiaoming.

This dying old man is willing to provide some protection to the new generation of ghost masters in this era in the last moments of his life.

Wang Xiaoming heard the old woman's attitude and naturally would not refuse.

His ideas in this regard coincided with the old woman's.

Only ghost masters who live longer are eligible to progress.

He raised his head and said solemnly: "If you are willing to assist, it is naturally the best. On behalf of the headquarters, I would like to thank you for your help."

Don't look at Wang Xiaoming's usually cold appearance.

But for anything that helps solve supernatural incidents, he will definitely find a way to fight for it.

This old man who has lived from the Republic of China to the present could have stood by and watched. She no longer belonged to this era. She could have watched the ghost masters of this era work hard.

But at this critical moment of supernatural recovery, she extended a helping hand to the ghost masters of this era.

This is tantamount to providing help in times of need.

Not to mention expressing gratitude, even if the old woman asked Wang Xiaoming to kowtow a few times on the spot, he would not mind kneeling down and cracking his head.

"Then what are these dolls used for?" Wang Xiaoming asked after observing the dolls.

"The function is very simple, it can die for you once."

As soon as these words came out, Wang Xiaoming and Li Jun were shocked.

Even Li Leping, who knew the news in advance, couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he heard the old lady explain the purpose of the doll.

After coming to this world, he has successively figured out the origins of the two major supplies in the headquarters, the ghost candle and the scapegoat doll.

Although the process of making a scapegoat doll is not necessarily all related to the transfer of ghosts, since the old man can make a special trip, it is enough to show that the transfer of ghosts is a crucial part.

"I'll find a chance to ask this old lady later." Li Leping had his own plan.

"The ability to die on behalf of someone else?!"

"Looking at it this way, wouldn't this doll be called a scapegoat?"

Wang Xiaoming looked surprised, but he had no doubts about what the old woman said.

Seeing that the three of them calmed down, the old woman explained how to use it: "You only need to put a drop of your own blood on the rag doll, and then let the rag doll run away, and the supernatural beings that attack you will attack the rag doll instead.

You are in absolute safety until this doll is destroyed."

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Run away?" Wang Xiaoming looked at the stacked dolls in the basket with some confusion.

The vegetable basket is not big, and I don’t know how many tattered and weird dolls there are in it.

But now they are all sitting quietly in the basket, showing no signs of movement.

"When it's in the basket, it definitely can't escape."

The old woman said this calmly, indicating that the doll would only run away if it left the basket.

"I see, does this basket also have supernatural powers that we don't know about?" Wang Xiaoming thought in his heart.

These dolls are obviously supernatural props, and the only ones that can limit these supernatural props are stronger supernatural powers or gold.

The old woman added: "Before you take it out, use gold needles or other things to pin its limbs and head together so that it can't run away. Remember to pin the head first so that it won't move so fast."

Although the number of these dolls is not large, since they are to be used as supplies, they must be broken up and distributed individually.

Wang Xiaoming nodded solemnly, firmly remembering the old woman's instructions.

These supplies are so important to today's situation. Even a tattered rag doll will give ghost masters who are deeply involved in supernatural events a chance to try and make mistakes.

"One more thing, I don't have anything that can hold big things, so I made do with this basket. After you take out the dolls inside, if the basket doesn't disappear, cover it with the floral cloth and open it again.

There will be a bunch of dolls inside again."

The old woman was like a verbose old man, but now the three juniors, Li Leping, were listening respectfully, not daring to forget a single word.

"If you open the floral cloth and cover it again, will a new batch of dolls appear?"

"What's the point?"

Not only Wang Xiaoming, but also Li Leping listened in confusion, but the shock in his eyes became more and more obvious.

He did not retain much memory of the original information, and these memories did not elaborate on the old man's abilities.

I don’t know what interactions Yang Jian had with this old woman later on.
