Chapter 268: The Source of the Curse
The night sky was full of stars, and the rental house was completely darkened, leaving only the residential buildings with a few lights. The dim light of the street lamp shines through the glass into the room, leaving a hazy imprint.
The room was quiet, except for the occasional click on my phone.
Minutes and seconds passed.
Zhang Xiyun on the bed snored, and he should have fallen asleep.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiyun's eyeballs rolled in his sockets, and his eyelids shook rapidly, as if they were about to open in the next second.
His breath became very short, as if he were crying.
I glanced at the time on my phone.
02:01
There was still nothing unusual in the room, I frowned, stood up and walked to the window, the curtains shaking in the cool breeze.
The moon outside the window is a waning moon.
Zhang Xiyun should have fallen into that dream that lasted for more than a month.
It has remained in this state ever since.
I wondered if something unexpected would happen if I woke him up from this state now.
But after a few breaths, Zhang Xiyun woke up, and his consciousness was still a little unconscious, looking at the ceiling, as if looking for something. After a while, I found me by the window.
"How's it going, have you found anything?" asked Zhang Xiyun with some expectation.
I shook my head and said, "I didn't find anything, but I can also say that I can ask some questions, at least the things that are wrapped around you are something I haven't seen before." ”
At this time, I am a little nostalgic for Leng Xiangning, and the Zhengyi Sect has an orderly inheritance, so I should be more familiar with this aspect of things.
And I'm just a halfway monk who is a wild onmyoji.
Zhang Xiyun was a little frustrated and wiped the sweat on his head.
"Actually, I felt it, the moon...... If the moon keeps jumping...... It's going to get faster and faster, and my heart is beating with it!"
"Master, can you save me?"
Looking at his somewhat desperate eyes, I felt a little uncomfortable.
"I really haven't seen you in this situation, but I'm going to ask a friend tomorrow and give me your girlfriend's contact information. ”
Zhang Xiyun hesitated, but still gave me the phone.
She's blocked me and doesn't know if she'll answer your call.
......
Early the next morning, I got in touch with Leng Xiangning......
"Isn't there any yin qi left at the scene?"
"No, but Zhang Xiyun has strong traces of yin qi on his body. ”
"Blood Moon...... I think I've seen this somewhere, so I'll check it out. ”
It's good to have a background, I sighed, there is experience to learn from predecessors.
A few minutes later
“...... Found it, this should be the blood moon into the brain, a curse, and in the end, the cursed person will have too fast a heart speed and explode to death. ”
That's the same as Zhang Xiyun's own feeling, it should be this.
"Since it's a curse, is there a way to crack it? I asked.
"Well, interrupting the dream is useless, according to the records, if you interrupt him in the middle of the dream, it will accelerate the explosion of the curse. ”
"According to our experience in dealing with curses, there are usually two methods, one is to forcibly cut off the cursed person's connection with the yin qi, but it requires extremely advanced Taoist ......."
Obviously, I don't have the ability: "What about the second method?"
"Find the caster!"
"But it's also a very dangerous behavior, and those who have the ability to curse don't have to be human...... If not in a hurry, I'll be back next Monday at the latest. ”
"Got it. ”
Hanging up the phone and pondering for a while, I was about to call Zhang Xiyun's ex-girlfriend.
Zhang Xiyun's condition is so bad that I don't know if I can delay it for a few more days.
Just when I was about to call Zhang Xiyun's girlfriend.
The phone rang.
"Mr. Zhang, I'm ......"
Zhang Xiyun interrupted me and said in a hurried tone: "I remembered, actually...... I also saw her once after the breakup, probably the third or fourth day after she moved out of me, I worked overtime until late at night, and when I came home, I seemed to see her, her eyes were red, they were abnormally red, even the whites of her eyes were red, as if her eyes were bleeding. Standing under the bus stop, she disappeared when I looked at it again, and I thought it was my delusion......"
"Mr. Zhang, have you ever behaved abnormally before? ”
"No, Zhou Ming is also a college student, she is quite normal, but when you say this, I suddenly remembered that she has a grandmother at home, who is a bit of a chatter. ”
"Where does her grandmother live?"
"It's in this city, Xiaogang Village. ”
When I heard the name, my scalp tingled.
Isn't that Xiaogang Village, where graves explode and zombies are rampant?
Zhang Xiyun's time probably has something to do with this place.
But all the villagers in that place are dead......
Forget it, let's contact Zhou Ming first to ask about the situation.
"Hello, is it Ms. Zhou Ming?"
"You are?"
"I was entrusted by your ex-boyfriend Zhang Xiyun to ask you a few simple questions. ”
There was silence for a while, and after a long time, Zhou Ming spoke again, and her voice was very cold:
"What's the problem?"
"Do you know anything about Zhang Xiyun's current situation?"
"I know what he does, and he has nothing to do with me now......"
"He had nightmares every night, the same, a blood moon. ”
"You're sick, he's sick too, what's my business with dreams?"
I don't think it's a lie when I hear her voice, and I really don't know about the curse.
"Is your grandmother still alive?"
"Yes, yes, what's the matter?"
In the mobile phone, Zhou Ming's voice suddenly changed, and her crisp voice suddenly became hoarse, and the tone of her voice when she spoke was also very long.
It seems like...... It's like an old woman!
"You're not dead, no. You're dead, possessed by your granddaughter!"
The other end of the phone fell silent again, and after more than ten seconds, Zhou Ming's voice came back, as if he hadn't heard the previous conversation.
"What's the matter? I'll hang up if I don't speak!"
"Ms. Zhou, have you noticed any problems in yourself in the past two weeks, such as memory loss, or suddenly waking up and finding yourself in an unfamiliar environment. ”
Zhou Ming didn't speak, and her breathing seemed to become a little heavier.
"I think it's best if we meet in person, whether we're free or not. ”
......
In the café, Zhou Ming sat by the window in a daze, looking a little blank.
I watched her in the corner for a while, made sure she wasn't taken away by the ghast, and then walked over and sat down across from her.
"Hello, Ms. Zhou. My surname is Kuang, Kuang Heng. ”
"The one you are talking about, my body's problem?"
I got straight to the point and asked, "Your grandmother must have been dead for two weeks, when was the last time I saw her?"
