This is the second time I've seen the warden, the previous one was when I was locked in. He wears a green uniform, short hair, and is estimated to be between forty-five and fifty years old, and he doesn't look fierce, and even if you stare at him, you might think he's a little kind.

The skeleton is not big, and if you change your clothes, you may be an ordinary little old man.

His desk was cluttered, and his bookcase was filled with all sorts of books, an old-fashioned iron teacup and, of course, a pack of cigarettes.

When he saw me come in, he smiled and said, "I'll talk to him alone, it's fine." ”

After the two prison guards went out, I sat across from him, he smiled and picked up a cigarette and lit one of my cigarettes, then helped me light the fire and said, "Comrade Ba Xiaoshan, hello. ”

"What are you looking for from me?"

I don't think it's possible to let me out, so it's probably not a good idea.

"I've seen your file, and you've been sentenced to two years for killing someone in excessive self-defense. However, it seems that you have some friends outside who have been calling from all sides lately, hoping that I can appropriately reduce your sentence or allow you to be released on bail. ”

He pulled out a brown booklet and spoke.

"You can do business, I don't make excuses for my own mistakes. ”

"But everybody wants to get out early, so if you can do me a favor, I can help you reduce your sentence or even allow you to bail. ”

At that time, the system was not particularly rigorous, in fact, decades later, many insider or secret operations have always existed. I could probably hear what the warden meant, and he wanted me to help me in exchange for letting me out early.

It's just that at this juncture, what can I help him?

"Tell the story. ”

I smiled.

"Well, I'm not going around in circles, you must have seen what happened in our cell recently, many people have died, and the real culprit has not been caught yet. I had encountered some things in the early years, so in a sense I felt that there might be something special, something that normal people hadn't seen. So, I asked a few familiar Taoist elders to help, but unfortunately the results were not satisfactory. The Taoist is still recuperating in the hospital, but he told me that this thing that is making trouble in the cell is very fierce. If this situation is reported to me, it is estimated that a team of experts will be sent to investigate, and the responsibility will definitely fall on us people. So get this done as soon as possible, for all of us. ”

What he said was still very vague, but I vaguely understood what he meant, in fact, to put it bluntly, he just wanted to find someone to catch ghosts, and if the Taoist didn't do it, if he intervened, then he estimated that it would be difficult to protect the black yarn.

"I've read your information, and I've also inquired about some rumors about you before you were imprisoned, and I've heard that you still have some knowledge in this area, so I want to ask you for help. ”

That's what he focused on me.

I took a puff of my cigarette, smiled and said, "I understand when you say that, let's open the skylight and say something, and I'll help you get rid of the evil ghosts that are making trouble in your cell, and you send me out, right?"

The warden lit a cigarette, nodded slightly, and said, "Of course, sending you out has to go through the normal process." ”

"This is natural, but I can't do this alone, I still need someone to help, you promise to help the two of us out, and I will get rid of this ghost for you!"

I tapped my fingers on the table, and this was the time to talk about the conditions.

"Two people ......"

Apparently the warden was a little embarrassed, and his brows furrowed slightly.

"It doesn't stop you from doing anything, we can both do medical parole, and we promise that we won't break discipline while on bail. It won't make it difficult for you, and even if we are released on bail, you can still apply for an appointment to bring us back if you break the discipline. Rest assured, I won't make it difficult for you. ”

I'm really not good at business, and what I say is just imitating the appearance of a fat man.

"Who are you going to ask for help?"

The warden finally relented and looked at me.

A few minutes later, in the cell, the brick stared at me stunned, and it took a long time before he said, "Xiaoshan, what are you talking about?"

"I said, the warden agreed to my request, you and I will hunt ghosts together, and if you help him settle this matter, then we can both be released on bail. ”

No one wants to stay in this hellish place for long, even if the bricks are mixed in prison, but they still want to go out, if they have the opportunity to meet the old lady and call his mother every day, this guy will probably be crazy.

"Haha, you're such a brother, I knew I didn't make a mistake with your friend at that time! I can go out, haha, I can go out......"

The brick music was crazy, and he almost sang excitedly with his hands on the bed board.

"There is also a premise for going out, we have to deal with that ghost first. And we have to come secretly about this, and we can't make too much fanfare, otherwise we will be seen by so many prisoners, knowing that we are catching ghosts and have to be released on bail, wouldn't it be upside down?"

As I was talking, the prison guard walked by and threw a small box in, and I hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up and saw that it was the box of cinnabar that had been confiscated earlier.

"I can't catch ghosts, but I'm definitely okay with manual work, you just command, what do you need me to do?"

Brick was in high spirits and waved his arm to help.

"Let's hunt ghosts is the same as fighting, we can't just think about how to kill people, we have to find a way to save our lives first. This cell is actually not safe, so let's pick it up first. ”

Cinnabar has the power to ward off evil spirits, if ordinary people can't draw talismans, then there is one most direct way to help you ward off evil spirits, that is, to copy Taoist or Buddhist scriptures. Use cinnabar to copy on runic paper and stick it at home. Then he recited it silently at least nine times in his mouth, so as to exert his mental power on it, which still has a certain effect on warding off evil spirits.

What I copied on the runic paper was a section of the Diamond Sutra, which I recited nine times and pasted it on the southeast and directly above the cell and behind the door.

But after all, this method is not a real demon exorcism talisman, it can only have the power to expel evil ghosts, but there is no way to eliminate it, if you meet a vicious guy, these runes are not even useful.

"Tonight, I'm going to find a way to get that ghost, and we'll have to figure out what the other ghost is. ”

There was a curfew at night, but it was not quiet in the cell, and the sounds of talking, fighting, and even singing could often be heard. But it was usually around eight o'clock in the evening, when all the voices had calmed down, and I went to the door and peeled off the talisman paper that had been attached to the door.

"What's going on?"

Brick asked.

I made a silent gesture, then picked up a broken stone from the corner and drew a strange symbol on the ground near the door, which looked like an upside-down eye.

This symbol does not come from China, but from ancient Egypt. Ancient Egypt regarded human eyes as sacred objects, especially the eyes of the gods, more precious than all the gems in the world. As a result, there are many runes that resemble eyes, but runes of similar shapes may have a wide variety of meanings. The inverted eyes represent seeing hell.

Although we have a lot of ways to summon ghosts in China, I lack the tools to achieve them. So I can only try it with the method of foreigners, and when it comes to it, I saw this method from Mr. Xu's study.

After about ten minutes, there was a strange wind outside the door, and the yin air blew in through the cracks in the wall, and I turned back to the bricks and said, "Come on, don't make a sound." In case it's going to get on you in a while, you have to be more responsible. ”

Brick nodded indifferently.

Theoretically, I'm only recruiting ghosts, but not the feathered ghosts, so it's not clear, if we're unlucky and we recruit that vicious guy, I'm afraid I'll be done with the bricks tonight.

Luckily, however, the luck of the two of us wasn't so bad that a fine yin wind blew in, and slowly a vague gray figure appeared, its wing-like cloak floating in the air.

Then it slowly walked towards the brick, and then got on the brick.

"You actually took the initiative to recruit me?"

The feather ghost spoke, of course, the voice came from the throat of the brick, but the obviously rough voice was matched with a charming look, and it looked weird and awkward.

"Yes, I wonder what the hell is killing people in the old district!"

I opened my mouth to answer. “
