Chapter 106: Rooftop Compartment

When I returned to Mr. Xu's house, Shen Mengtian was talking to the fat man, and I asked the fat man and them to consult Senior Han, and it seemed that there was a result.

"What's going on? What did Senior Han say?"

I asked.

"Senior Han said, your guess is half right. ”

The fat man's words make me a little confused, yes, yes, why is there still half of it?

"What's half right? What's wrong?"

I asked, puzzled.

"Senior Han said that your idea about Onmyoji is right, and he also thinks that this should be some Japanese spell. But he said that the onmyoji was not dead. ”

I was stunned by this, I always thought that the Onmyoji must have died, how many years has it been? Even if he was 18 years old when he came to China in 1937 when he attended the special high school class, he will be at least close to 80 years old today.

"Even if he is alive, why would he want to harm these children? An 80-year-old Japanese in China, the neighbors must know about it. But now that we've investigated, there's no Japanese nearby, so it doesn't make sense. ”

I shook my head.

Han's predecessor said that this method of controlling ghosts is very similar to some witchcraft in China, but it is not as complicated. It is believed that it was introduced to Japan from ancient China and then simplified. It is precisely because of this that there are many flaws. Of course, the most crucial point that Senior Han said was that if this Onmyoji was still alive, then he couldn't be too far away from the soul he controlled. And he must have a cherry blossom-like logo on his body, which makes sense. ”

The fat man's words made me even more confused, I touched my chin, and I couldn't figure it out. Now it can be judged that it is this onmyoji who attacks the child, and it must be an old immortal guy, he attacks the child and controls the ghost at the same time, which can be described as a two-pronged approach. If he can't be too far away from the ghost, then he must be near the school.

Who could it be? a farmer from a nearby village, or the owner of a shop?

"I can't think of it now, but today the old man of the doorman told me a new legend, and if we are free tomorrow, we will go to the rooftop. I want to verify the authenticity of this legend. ”

After a few words, our brothers went back to their rooms.

After taking a shower, my body was a lot refreshed, and I sat in the room and watched the rain outside, which is strange to say, and when it rained heavily, people felt annoyed, but I felt happy. I always feel that a rain can wash away the dust and make the surroundings clean.

Mr. Xu came over smoking a cigarette, his smoking posture was very stylish, he was backhanded procrastinating, and the cigarette was inserted in a smoking pen, which looked very much like a British gentleman.

"Mr. Xu. ”

I greeted me politely.

"I haven't slept yet, Xiao Shen's matter has bothered you. ”

He said with a smile.

"No, it's just helping, and besides, we are friends with Teacher Shen...... By the way, you said you had business dealings with my mother, right?"

I asked.

"Yes, there are often some business cooperation, and it is still a pleasure to do business with her. What's wrong? Want to hear about your mother's experience over the past few years?"

He puffed out a puff of green smoke and asked softly.

"Forget it, I'd better rest early. The Ling family didn't bother you, did they?"

I shook my head.

"A few days ago, a friend from the past brought me a message, which may not be good news for you. I heard that the so-called spirit family was not very happy, so they sent a new person. ”

Sure enough, this grievance is really endless, the three ghosts of the Ling family have gone back, and the people who come must be even more powerful!

"I'm giving you trouble, do you know who sent it, and if we can handle it, we'll deal with it ourselves. ”

I'm embarrassed to say.

"No, since I promised to help you stop this, I will do it. The person sent by the Ling family this time seems to be called Shuya, but it is a strange name. ”

Hearing this, I almost didn't jump out of my chair! The first guest of the Ling family, a senior of the rivers and lakes who is more powerful than the lord of the Three Mountains, it seems that Lingyan is really angry this time and wants to kill us!

"Senior, you may not know about it, but I've heard of it. That's the senior who studied art in Maoshan, and his ability is not comparable to the three ghosts of the Ling family, I think it's better not to drag you down, I will leave with the fat man and Luo Qiong tomorrow. You can help with this matter here. ”

I know that we must not delay any longer! People are kind to help us, and we can't harm people into the water.

"Oh, Maoshan, I miss it so much, I remember that when I was drinking tea with Xuqing Daoren in Maoshan, it was a long time ago. Since I am a person who has studied art in Maoshan, then I want to see it even more to see if the weight of Maoshan is light. ”

In fact, Shuya should be older than Mr. Xu, but I feel like he is talking about his juniors, but they are really not clear about the masters of the rivers and lakes.

"Don't worry about me, you concentrate on helping Xiao Shen, and I'll settle it. It's not early, go to bed early, Mr. Ba. ”

He walked away with his cigarette gun behind his back, and he walked leisurely as if he was in his chest, for some reason, he always felt that he couldn't see through this old Mr. Xu. Even more mysterious than Mr. Don gave me!

After school early the next afternoon, the fat man, me, and Luo Qiong pretended to be repairmen and entered the school, and then asked for the key to the rooftop from the old janitor.

"You mean there's a cubicle inside the rooftop, right inside?"

The fat man stood outside the iron door, looking through the crack in the door, but he couldn't see anything clearly.

"It's a rumor from the school, and no one really knows. I'll open the chain first, verify the rumors in the compartment, and by the way, see if there's anything unclean inside. ”

After I finished speaking, I stepped forward and opened the iron lock with the key, and the heavy chain slowly pulled down, and the iron door opened again. A path leading to the rooftop appeared in front of you. I led the way up, and the passage was dark, and the stone steps were covered with moss, and it was obviously very wet. The air wasn't good either, and the smell mixed with the smell of rust made me uncomfortable.

After walking more than a dozen steps, I went directly to the rooftop, looked around, and didn't see the existence of a compartment, and I couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.

"There are no compartments, what's going on?"

The fat man asked.

"I don't know, is this rumor fake?"

I scratched my head and said.

"As soon as I heard it, it was fake, what Japanese, what rape and suicide, the more mysterious it is, the more false it is. Okay, let's get out of the way and see if there are any other clues to investigate. ”

After the fat man finished speaking, he turned his head and was about to leave, but Luo Qiong, who was standing next to him at this moment, suddenly shouted: "Wait a minute, there seems to be a problem here." ”

Hearing this, the two of us hurriedly walked over, but saw Luo Qiong squatting on the ground and gently tapping a steel plate with his hand, except for the sound of "dong dong ......", the inside of the steel plate seemed to be empty.

"It seems to be an empty ......"

Luo Qiong's observation was amazing, and this discovery rekindled my thoughts that I had already dispelled.

"Here, fat man, let's move this steel plate out of the way. ”

I beckoned the fat man for help, and the three of them lifted the steel plate and moved it to the side, and then looked down, and it was a dark space, and I couldn't see what was hidden, it seemed to be empty, but it was definitely a compartment.

"Haha, there's a compartment!"

The doorman's words were verified again, and I shone a flashlight downward, and it looked like a room, and the table, chairs, and a small bed could be seen from where the light swept through.

"It looks like someone has lived in it. ”

The fat man also found it strange.

"I'll go down first, and you will take care of it above. ”

After I finished speaking, I jumped under the steel plate, inside was a small room, covered with thick dust, there were some shabby quilts on the bed, there were some blood stains scattered on the ground, there were books and a few newspapers on the table, I picked it up and looked at it, and was stunned, the date on the newspaper was actually more than thirty years ago!

And I found books in the pile of books on the desk, which seemed to confirm my idea!

"Fatty, this must be the Japanese man's house, where he and his daughter live, the old man is right, we found it!"

I shouted with a smile, but at this moment a sudden change occurred! The steel plate above my head actually moved on its own, slowly covering the exit above my head. The fat man and Luo Qiong tried to stop but couldn't move the steel plate away, I saw that the light above my head was getting less and less, and finally the steel plate covered the exit and locked me in the compartment completely!"
