After reading the text message, my hands were shaking a little, and I hurriedly pressed the dial button. I put the phone to my ear, hoping that the fat man would answer the call. But the cold system prompt tone came out.
It's okay, it's okay. I told myself that the phone couldn't be reached, and the fact that the fat man could send a text message meant that he was not dead. As long as he was still alive, everything would be easy.
He took a few deep breaths, calmed down his excitement, and carefully analyzed the content of the text message. The text message was very brief, indicating that he must have been in a hurry. But he said he was in the woods, was he really in the woods?
There?! But I searched hard there for four days. I searched almost every corner, but I couldn't find him.
After that, I hurried to Yunshui Hall. At this time, Mrs. Qin was doing business at the counter. When she saw me coming, a sweet smile appeared on her face, "It's you, are you here to see your brother Qin?"
I nodded and said yes. She said Brother Qin was on the second floor and asked me to go upstairs.
In the living room on the second floor, Brother Qin was holding a newspaper in his hand, sitting on the sofa and reading quietly. Maybe he heard my footsteps, and he said without raising his head, "Daughter-in-law, here you go."
I'll get you a glass of water."
"Brother Qin, it's me."
"Well, I thought it was your Sister-in-law Qin, but I didn't expect it was your boy?" After he found out it was me, he raised his head, with an embarrassed look on his mature rectangular face.
"What's the matter?" He put down the newspaper in his hand, crossed his legs and looked at me.
I took out my phone and showed him the text message, saying that I had been searching for him in the woods for four days and had used spells to track down his whereabouts, but the results were in vain. I just couldn’t figure it out.
After searching for so long, I couldn't find it, and the fat man reminded me in the text message that he was in the woods.
"Well..." Brother Qin fell into deep contemplation after reading the text message, then shook his bald head, "You and I will go there and have a look."
Brother Qin and I were walking towards the woods, and I suddenly thought of a question, how did he appear in the woods that night. And in the end, from his conversation with that man, he seemed to know something.
I expressed the questions in my mind to Brother Qin. Unexpectedly, he suddenly straightened his face and said to me seriously, "There are some things that I can't tell you because it would be bad for you to know too much."
"I just can't figure out why that man wanted to kill me."
"Because you hindered his plan. I have heard of him before. He is very carefree and always takes revenge."
"what's the plan?!
"Brother, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but I can't tell you. The dangers involved are not as simple as you think."
Well, he didn't want to say it, so forget it. I sighed, looked at Brother Qin's bald head, and suddenly found that there seemed to be nine faint ring scars on the top of his head. You really couldn't find it if you didn't pay attention.
Thinking back to that night, I wondered if he had been a monk.
When I asked this question, Brother Qin scratched his head and smiled sheepishly and said, "It happened a long time ago, so I won't mention it anymore."
Although he called him "Big Brother Qin, Big Brother Qin", we actually didn't know each other for long, so he didn't want to mention it, and I couldn't continue to ask.
…
When I arrived at the location that night, I suddenly discovered that the previous corpses were gone. Looking at my confused look, Brother Qin said that someone had discovered the corpses here two days ago.
The police came to investigate, and this case even made the local news headlines. Have you ever watched the news?
I said, look at some silly news. I can't even eat these days because of the fat man's affairs, so I don't have the energy to deal with this.
"Did dong!" At this moment, my mobile phone sounded the text message reminder sound again. I clicked on the text message and read the content above, and my hands shook unconsciously.
I saw the text message saying: Huizi, I was in the woods before, and I saw you.
Brother Qin snatched my phone away, looked at it for a while, and kept looking around. Then his expression became very serious, and he lowered his head slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about.
"Try the spell and see if you can find him." Brother Qin said.
I took out a lying tracking talisman, folded it into a paper crane as before, and then recited the incantation.
If the fat man was really nearby, he would definitely be able to find him. However, the paper crane just kept circling rapidly in the air, with no intention of pointing in which direction.
The fat man said that he was still in the woods, but the tracking technique could not determine his location. What was going on?
Suddenly, the paper crane stopped spinning and floated in the air, shaking violently.
Then, I saw a strange scene. I saw the paper crane emitting sparks, then flashing a dazzling light, and then disappeared out of thin air. And at that moment, I discovered that about a few meters away from me, the paper crane was curled up.
A blurry figure shrank.
Although I couldn't see clearly, judging from the figure, I was sure it was the fat man. I just wanted to call him, but after the white light disappeared, everything returned to its original state.
What's going on? Could what I just saw be an illusion? Or maybe the fat man is already dead and what I just saw was his soul? I shook my head slightly and denied the second conjecture. My path to the underworld is always open.
, if it is really his soul, why can't I see it now.
I quickly asked Brother Qin if he had also seen that strange phenomenon.
He pondered for a while and suddenly said, "I understand, your classmate entered a space that overlaps with this one."
"Overlapping spaces?!" I'm a little confused.
“Ever heard of a ghost market?”
Ghost market? I think I heard Master talk about it before.
There is such a place, located at the junction of the underworld and the yang world, called the ghost market. According to legend, the ghost market is a place where people and ghosts make transactions. It is extremely dangerous and you will die if you are not careful, so you dare to go there
Even if you are not an expert in the local area, you still have to have some skills to save your life. The way to enter the ghost market is very secretive, and few people know it, so even if ordinary people want to enter, there is no way.
Of course, some ordinary people will enter that place by mistake. As a result, most people will not be able to come back. This is because those who stay in the ghost market are innocent souls or evil ghosts who cannot be reincarnated.
Everyone wants to find a stranger to be their substitute, so ordinary people will basically die there as soon as they enter.
"Brother Qin, do you mean that Fatty is in the ghost market now?!" I asked.
He lit a cigarette, exhaled the smoke quietly, and then said, "It's not yet certain whether it is a ghost market, because there are many intersections between the Yin and Yang worlds, but not all of them are ghost markets."
"Then, how do you get the fat man out of that place?" I really don't understand how the fat man could suddenly enter that place. And strictly speaking, the fat man is actually where we are, but the dimensions of the space are different.
Well, this makes me feel a little weird.
"Don't worry yet, you will find a solution by night."
