Chapter 53: Diary of the Republic of China
Qinglianju has been abandoned for many years, although there is a big iron gate at the door, but a small part of it is rotten, and it is described as a fictitious.
Tingting was originally bold, and she liked to explore these supernatural events. Now that the owner of Qinglian Ju agreed, he took Li Yifan, the host, to visit his house as a guest.
At this time, before I knew it, it was already four o'clock in the afternoon. The sunlight was a little lighter, and there were a lot of dilapidated clutter in the house, and it looked as dim as evening when you entered it.
Li Yifan turned on his sharp-eyed skills, followed behind Tingting, scurrying around, stunned that he didn't find the legendary wall emitting black smoke.
In his eyes, the whole house was bubbling with black gas, but he never found the source of the black gas.
With his skills turned on and walked around the room several times, Li Yifan was a little out of strength.
He grabbed Tingting's arm and motioned for her to stop, "Don't turn around, I'm dizzy." Where the hell is it?"
Shen Xue also stopped at this time, she remembered the post about Qinglianju that Tingting said, so she took out her mobile phone and searched it on the Internet. It didn't take long to find the sinking post.
Seeing that she found the post, several people came forward to read it. Although the location of the wall is not mentioned in the article, a search of the proportions on the photograph was able to confirm the exact location.
"If the house hadn't been renovated, there should be no doubt about this wall!" Shen Xue said.
Li Yifan looked at the wall carefully, from the traces, it should have been pasted with wallpaper before, but now it is almost peeling off. Both the size and the flaws are the same as the wall in the photo.
He activated the Burning Eyes skill to check, but found nothing abnormal, and then activated the newly acquired skill to see through. Still no anomalies have been found.
"Can you show me?"
Shen Xue nodded in agreement and handed the phone to Li Yifan. He wanted to see if there was any clearer description on the post.
"Come and see this!"
Tingting rummaged through the cabinets just now, and found a yellowed diary from a broken dark compartment in the sofa.
A few people greeted them with interest.
The diary uses traditional Chinese characters instead of simplified characters. This shows that the diary should be recorded for a long time, and it may be recorded by the first owner of Qinglian Residence.
Some of the contents have been torn off, but the rest of the place is well preserved, and although the paper appears to be a little weathered, it does not interfere with reading.
For fear that everyone would be in a hurry, he broke the diary. Tingting volunteered to take on the job of a narrator.
There's a story that happened in 1946.
"On February 24th, those suspicious people came again today, and all the strange things began to happen from that day on.
They kidnapped Zhang's butcher's wife and took her to the mountains. There is a rumor circulating that she is not human, but a ghost with only human skin draped over her body.
I never believed in this, because I often go to Zhang Butcher to buy meat, I know their family very well, and they all have good personalities.
I've met his wife a few times, it's a woman with small feet, surnamed Xu, not pretty, but very elegant, even in an ordinary floral skirt looks very temperamental. It should be the daughter of a down-and-out family.
I don't know where these rumors came from, it's just nonsense......
Zhang Butcher went to the police station to report the case, and heard that no police officer seemed to be willing to meddle with his affairs, probably because he was too upright and unwilling to send money in private.
What a great sorrow to be born in this chaotic world......"
Reading this, it seemed that everyone was sad for the story of Zhang Butcher, Tingting paused, and continued to read.
"On May 27, prices skyrocketed. I can't afford to eat meat anymore. One hundred yuan of fiat currency, ten years ago you could buy a cow, five years ago you could buy a pig, now you can only buy an egg.
I haven't seen Zhang Butcher for a month, and his daughter is gone......
I didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world before, but now I do.
Today I went to the mountains to pick wild vegetables, and I met a woman. To be precise, it wasn't a person, it was a ghost. She was barefoot and wearing a cheongsam, which had been torn in half. Half of his body was exposed. The teeth in the mouth are all up to the chin.
I recognized it at a glance, it was Miss Xu.
She had a cyan birthmark on the right side of her neck near her chest. I used to be invited to his house by Zhang Butcher, and I couldn't help but peek at her, and I admit that I had a crush on her, even though she was someone else's wife.
When I found her in the woods, she was lying on the ground eating the flesh of a dead corpse, and she found me. But they didn't attack me. Maybe it's because she's not hungry, or maybe she's not willing to attack me......
I was so frightened that I ran back, and quickly closed the door, and boarded the doors and windows......
Everything fits into the rumored threads, she's a ghost in human skin.
All the traits that appear in the rumors, she has them. Unkempt fangs, sharp claws on hand, like to eat people.
But I still have a lot of doubts. Since she eats people for a living, how has she lived in the past five years......"
Tingting finished reading this diary, and the four people, including herself, were a little trembling. If this diary is true, doesn't that mean that there really was that skin-painter here a long time ago?
Moreover, if that skin-painting ghost hadn't died, wouldn't it mean that the supernatural event in this Qinglian Residence was the Miss Xu in the diary?
At this point, it was already five o'clock. The light in the room became more dim.
The most timid of the four was the boy named Chen Ming. I saw that his face turned pale with fright, and he unconsciously shrank behind Tingting's back.
"You're going to die!
As soon as the body touched, it was pushed away by Tingting.
"I'm not trying to take advantage. I'm afraid!" the boy looked aggrieved, like a frightened cat, looking left and right, for fear that something would come out of nowhere.
"This place is too evil, let's go back quickly!" Chen Ming continued, and it could be seen that he was very frightened.
Shen Xue was also trembling with fear at this time, the treatment of girls was naturally different. Shen Xue was pulled into Tingting's arms and caressed her back.
Shen Xue didn't speak, but looking at her appearance, she didn't seem to want to stay in this place anymore.
Li Yifan was also a little scared, but his fear only came from the current cramped environment.
For anything else, he didn't care too much, after all, there were advanced programs in the twelve-dimensional space, plus the experience of these days, ghosts and gods were nothing new to him.
Tingting's courage was really great, she seemed to be frightened by the Republic of China diary just now, and she quickly calmed down, and she said, "Do you know how to overcome fear?"
Seeing Shen Xue and Chen Ming shaking their heads, she smiled slightly, "Expose yourself to fear from side to side, until you get used to it and even become numb." It's like watching a horror movie, when you feel intimidated. Then watch again and again until you no longer feel the fear. So ......"
"So what?" Chen Ming asked subconsciously, feeling that there was some truth in what he said.
"So we've got to finish that journal!"
