Chapter 1: Controlling Thunder and Lightning (1)

On the second floor of Yun's clinic is the residence of Yun Lei and his sister Yun Shu. www.biquge.info At this time, the sky in Mingjing will be late, the sunset will be endless, and the twilight clouds will be combined.

Yun Shu was picking up the things in the clinic on the first floor, ready to close. Anyway, there won't be any emergency services in this small clinic. Nowadays, people cherish their lives very much and are obsessed with tertiary hospitals. Whether it's a major or minor illness, even a common cold and fever. I will also run to these big hospitals.

Yun's Clinic, a small clinic focusing on traditional Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment. can only rely on the word-of-mouth among neighbors and acquaintances, and eat together. There won't be any nightly emergencies at all.

Yun Lei was already familiar with this way of life, and when his sister Yun Shu began to clean up, he ran upstairs and began to rummage through things. Yun Lei has just been admitted to Mingjing University this year. Get rid of the boring study in the third year of high school and plunge headlong into the wanton and beautiful life of college.

Although Yunlei is not a high-profile person, he doesn't pay so much attention to various club activities in the university. However, it is inevitable that you will be involved in it, and it is not good to be invited by classmates to come over, and it is not good to push it away without giving face.

This time, Yunlei is going to participate in a Halloween masquerade.

Halloween was originally the Celtic New Year, but it was also a festival to worship the souls of the dead and worship ancestors. On Halloween, children dress up in all kinds of strange costumes, dress up as ghosts and gods, and go from house to house asking for candy.

Other people will also dress one scarier than the other, and then get together and compare who is more scary.

Although, this Halloween is a Halloween in the West. It has nothing to do with the Chinese people. However, college students in China are a group of people who are so energetic that they have nowhere to vent. If you don't find something to do, find an excuse to get together and have a hand, I'm really sorry for the exuberant hormones secreted in youth.

Therefore, the Halloween masquerade party has become a grand event that many men and women at Meikyo University are looking forward to. According to the reactions of those who participated in previous years, in this grand event, there are countless men and girls who have left the single dog group. It's strange that such a masquerade doesn't cause the wolves to howl.

And many of the boys who have just entered college are just small fresh meat. Pickled girls are pitiful, simpler, and blushing when they say more to girls. If you want to make a girl on this occasion, you naturally have to find a few people to be cannon fodder.

Yun Lei was one of the cannon fodder who was invited. Of course, Yunlei doesn't want to be just cannon fodder.

So, prepare seriously. It's just that Yun Lei doesn't have much money to buy a body that can be seen at a glance as a cow ghost and snake god. Halloween costumes are important props used to attract people's eyes, and the price is not cheap. For the more upscale, handmade masks alone range in price from thousands to tens of thousands.

Yun Lei simply can't afford it. His parents died young. Only his sister Yun Shu, who was not related by blood, was left.

Although, Yun Shu studied traditional Chinese medicine with Yun Lei's parents since he was a child, and his academic performance is also very good. During my time in school, I skipped a grade two or three times. Now he has graduated from medical university on his own and obtained a medical qualification certificate.

However, the profession of traditional Chinese medicine is based on qualifications and experience. Many people still believe in the old experts and old doctors. Even if Yun Shu has outstanding medical skills, he can't make a lot of money. After a month, the income is only enough for her and Yunlei's food, clothing, water and electricity. Earn more occasionally, and save it for Yunlei as tuition and miscellaneous fees.

This is also thanks to the old-fashioned street-facing house that Yunlei's parents left for their siblings. Otherwise, the money Yun Shu earns will not even be enough to pay the rent.

Yun Lei naturally wouldn't ask his sister Yun Shu for this money. However, he also has a way. Halloween wants to be a surprise winner. It's useless to buy some outfits and masks that follow the crowd, you have to have a little personality.

So, he remembered that when his parents were alive, they used to spend dozens of dollars in the second-hand market to buy a wooden ghost face. This wooden ghost face, the size of a human face. According to the information consulted by Yunlei's parents, it should be a Wu dance mask that has been passed down from ancient China to the present day to worship ghosts and gods.

The ghost face carved by this mask is not symmetrical. The eyes are yin and yang, the top horns are always curved, the fangs are big on the left and small on the right, not only the face is crooked, but even the tongue and nose are crooked. The crooked angles are not the same.

It seems to be deliberately made to look asymmetrical, distinguishing it from ordinary people's faces. It's a hideous mess.

The date of the mask's production is unknown. But look at its oily and slippery appearance. I think there's a history. More specific information cannot be found.

The time of the birth of the Nu dance is almost the same as the time when the primitive civilization of mankind was born. And in these long years, there are countless tribes, and countless tribes believe in the appearance of countless gods. However, most of these details are not recorded, and many of the records have been lost, and there are very few materials left to this day.

It was impossible to determine what kind of deity this wooden ghost face represented. It is also impossible to determine its age based on the data.

The second floor of Yun's clinic is not small, with three bedrooms and one living room, with a kitchen, toilet and living room. Three rooms, one for Yun Shu and Yun Lei. The other room was originally owned by Yun Lei's parents, but now it has become a room for the relics of Yun Lei's parents and various miscellaneous items.

Of course, most of the relics of Yun Lei's parents are some old books, and some strange things from the second-hand market. There are some, not to mention that Yun Lei doesn't recognize it, even Yun Shu, a well-read person, doesn't recognize it.

Yun Lei rummaged through the past. Finally, he found the wooden ghost face the size of a human face in a box.

Yun Lei used a rag and paper towel to wipe off the dust and dirt on the wooden ghost's face, and then gestured to the mirror on his face. It felt very appropriate.

Then, he gently pasted the wooden ghost face to his face. If the skin feels good, Yun Lei decided to take this wooden ghost face to the Halloween masquerade ball.

But this wooden ghost face, when it was close to Yun Lei's face. Yun Lei's eyebrows and face did not feel the texture close to the wood. Everywhere the skin touches, it seems to be nothing.

Yun Lei suddenly heard a sigh. The source of this sigh was not the voice in his ears, but in his head.

This sigh is extremely distant and desolate. It seems to span countless times.

After sighing, Yun Lei felt a deep pain in the hall between his eyebrows. It was as if there was a thick steel needle piercing the mind from the hall.

This pain had caused Yun Lei to completely lose control over his body and mind. He was plunged into a dark and chaotic illusion.
