The traffic lights alternated in an orderly manner, there were very few vehicles, and the warning lights on the top of the taxi could occasionally be connected into a line, Gu Qi stood at the quiet intersection, suddenly raised his head, and looked above the empty wall.

He raised his hand, opened his palm, pinned his ring finger, waved it at the wall, and asked, "A little girl ran over just now, did she continue to run along the main road, or did she turn into the path?" ”

He waved and spoke into the air, expecting a reply.

…………

The world in the eyes of most people is incomplete, they can only see those things that are easy to be illuminated, but how can the world be so simple, there are too many things that ordinary people can't see, these things are collectively called "existence", two meanings, one is to exist in the world, such as forbidden women and other real creatures, which are relatively rare; One is to remain in the world, which is simply a ghost or ghost, which can be seen everywhere.

In the most rare cases, the latter will be seen or heard by ordinary people, photographed or recorded by photographic equipment, and such accidents are usually explained by the word "supernatural", but for prayer teachers, the supernatural is just a part of everyday life.

In Gu Qi's eyes, a middle-aged uncle in his forties was sitting on the wall, his face was a little whiter than paper, and he emitted a faint cold light.

The uncle looked at Gu Qi expressionlessly for a while, bent down at a very slow speed, bent very low, and asked in a very slow voice, "That's ...... The gesture of the prayer teacher? What the hell do you do? ”

"For the souls, the prayer master is the one who helps you fulfill your wishes." Gu Qi said seriously.

"Wish?" The uncle was still leaning over, his face full of doubts: "What wish?" We have no **, no life, no desire, why do we have a wish? Why do you want to? ”

Gu Qi is already very familiar with this problem: "It is precisely because of the wish that the soul of the deceased will continue to stay in this world, whether it is joy or sorrow, grace or resentment, as long as I can find your wish, I will try my best to help you realize it, but not today." ”

"Hmm, the reason for staying in this world...... The reason ......" The uncle pointed to the side, no longer paying attention to Gu Qi, and fell into deep thought.

The little girl had already left the main street, which meant that she could run again, and during the time that Gu Qi was stopped, there was a considerable distance between the two, but fortunately, Gu Qi could ask the spirits on the side of the road.

Forty minutes later, he stood in front of an eight-meter-wide iron gate and looked up at the door beam.

There are seven golden characters on the door beam, there is a sentry box behind the doorpost on the left hand side, there is a black light inside, there is no one in it, there is a female soul standing next to the sentry box, the long hair scattered on both sides of the cheeks, the head is lowered and motionless, like a rock that has stood for thousands of years.

Without the limitation of the body, the soul can live forever, but the memory cannot bear the weight of time, and the timeline stored in the human memory will be broken into countless points over time, impacting and colliding with each other, and becoming a terrible thing.

For example, on the wedding day, the groom is the five-year-old self, but the bride is the seventy-year-old wife, because it is a memory, so when they see this wedding, the whole scene is real to the soul, and the terrible thing is that it is only the memory and not the cognition that is wrong, they know that it is the five-year-old self and the seventy-year-old wife.

What's even more terrifying is that when the memory is completely confused, the wife next to him will even be replaced by others, it may be parents, children, relatives and friends, including themselves, so many souls who have been in the world for a long time will keep their minds empty for a long time, thinking about nothing, so as not to see the confused memories again.

The spirits that are seen and photographed are usually these kinds, they occasionally move unconsciously, may appear anywhere, and basically do not react to the outside world, and the appearance time of broken memories is uncertain, some start in a few months, and some will take tens and hundreds of years to appear.

…………

Seeing that there was no one on the street left and right, Gu Qi quickly climbed over the school gate and melted into the darkness.

The school at night is a terrible place, the campus is too quiet at night compared to the hustle and bustle of the day, and the school has large shelves, many open spaces, and the classrooms are much larger than ordinary rooms, and the emptiness can stimulate the imagination as much as the crampedness.

No. 4 Middle School is one of the key middle schools in Anming City, divided into junior high school and high school, as soon as you enter the gate, you can see the six teaching buildings standing on both sides, the old and the new are different, the end is the highest comprehensive teaching building, which has music classrooms, art classrooms, biological real rooms, computer rooms, etc., the walkway between the teaching buildings on the right leads to the large playground, where there is a standard 400-meter track circle.

This place was not unfamiliar to Gu Qi, he had been here on the first night of his arrival in Anming City, and had spent three hours walking around the entire campus, and he was already familiar with the road.

Walking straight to the center of the playground, Gu Qi lit a cigarette and waited in the dark, last time I met a lot of souls here, most of them were just passing by, and some had been staying in school, but tonight was obviously different, I couldn't see a single one after smoking a cigarette, and the playground was so quiet that I couldn't even hear the sound of the wind, as if it was shrouded in a dull and depressing atmosphere.

To be sure, something has happened to the school.

Unable to find a reason in the playground, he walked towards the oldest school building, entering an unclosed window into the first-floor hallway.

Despite the moonlight, the corridor was still much darker than the outside, and only the nearby objects could barely be seen so as not to bump into them, and the spring breeze passing through the corridor was a little cold and intermittent, like a giant beast breathing in the snowy peak.

He stood in place for a few minutes, and after his eyes had completely adjusted to the darkness in the corridor, Gu Qi walked forward, but he didn't take a few steps before there was a problem.

The problem was the footsteps, at first there was only one group of Gu Qi, but after the third step out, another group suddenly appeared in the corridor, and the other party did not want to hide his own existence, the footsteps were not only louder, but also deliberately stepped between his steps.

Knock, knock, knock, knock......

The strange sound echoed, unable to judge the direction it came from, Gu Qi tried to change the speed and took a few steps, and the second group of footsteps also changed the rhythm, accurately falling between his two steps, very in sync, and after he stopped his steps, the other group of footsteps also disappeared immediately, as if there had never been a zài.

The silence was more frightening than the extra footsteps.

Standing in the middle of the corridor, Gu Qi pressed the hood, looked back behind him, there was no boundless darkness behind him, and nothing terrifying appeared, but he didn't know what was hidden in the darkness, the provocative meaning of the second set of footsteps was obvious, but the main owner refused to show up.

After a little more waiting, he stretched out the chain from the palm of his right hand, grasped it, and continued on his way.

The tips of the chain dragged on the ground, clanging, crisp and pleasant, but the relaxed atmosphere was quickly destroyed, and this time in addition to the original footsteps, there was also a continuous strange sound, like scraping the wall with an iron hook, which was harsh and unpleasant.

There are four classrooms on the first floor, and there are small windows on the classroom doors, which are specially used by teachers who supervise classroom discipline, Gu Qi ignored the strange sounds, and every time he walked to a door, he would stop and look inside, trying to find a spirit and ask what was going on, but all four classrooms had looked at it, and no soul was found.

Dragging the chains to the stairs at the end of the corridor, he looked back again, still saw nothing, and was about to go upstairs when he suddenly realized that he had missed a place.

This is an "era of confession", after the popularization of smart phones, human beings have completely lived a life with their heads down, the action of raising their heads seems to have been blocked, and only before going to bed has a momentary opportunity to look upward, Gu Qi does not use smartphones, but he likes to hide his face in the shadow of the hood, and often walks with his head down, which is considered a member of half of the "bowing family".

This time, he raised his head and looked overhead, finally finding the source of the second set of footsteps.

There was a surviving one on the ceiling, half to be exact, with its back facing down, its abdomen close to the ceiling, its head turned back one hundred and eighty degrees, and it looked at Gu Qi with wide eyes.

This is a very handsome man, with no hair and no lower body, and his body looks like he has been burned by Yanzhòng, and it is charred and cracked.

Gu Qi frowned, frowning very tightly, he had seen and heard countless kinds of existence, none of them were like this, judging from the color of the head and the ability to crawl on the ceiling in defiance of gravity, this was a soul, but the soul had no body, it was impossible to be disabled, and the injuries before death could not be carried to the afterlife.

Only in one case will the soul mutate.

"Give you three seconds to speak, or I'll treat you as a demon and get rid of it immediately." Gu Qi took two steps back, and the chain in his hand swayed lightly a few times.

Evil spirits are synonymous with danger, and there are many cases of prayer teachers being killed by evil spirits all over the world, so they will be killed as soon as they see it, so as not to cause trouble in the world.

Evil spirits are not conjured up after the death of bad people, and in the beginning, they are only slightly special spirits.

If human beings die with strong unwillingness and resentment, the soul will become a "resentful spirit", and the resentful spirit has a special ability, which is common to touch objects, and very few can possess it.

Spirits are very common in their desire for revenge, and like bullets, they only shoot at one target, but their abilities are very weak, and the probability of successful revenge is very low, so many spirits will take a drastic approach to increase their strength, that is, devour and absorb other spirits.

Devouring is a terrible behavior, once it starts, there will be a physical mutation, and it can't be stopped like an addiction, it won't take long for the resentful spirit to transform into an "evil spirit", and the revenge ** swells to the top, although it will still only target one person, but there is nothing to care about, like a cannonball, it will cause a lot of collateral damage, but the evil spirit is just a trouble, not a danger.

The real danger is the "fierce spirit", in the process of devouring other souls, the evil spirit absorbs their memories, and the stacking of scattered memories will inevitably lead the evil spirit to lose itself and lose the ability to communicate, and the revenge ** is full of points but forgets the goal, like a special mine, anyone who steps on it will be stuck until death.

The deformation of the body starts from the first devouring, to the point that the fierce spirit is often unrecognizable, but it is not so much that even the lower half of the body has changed, if the soul lying on the ceiling can speak, it can prove that it is not a fierce spirit, if it does not speak, Gu Qi will immediately make a move.

Seeing Gu Qi retreat, it didn't follow, it only rolled its eyes to stare at it, and after a while, the handsome face that had no expression suddenly pulled out a weird smile and let out a creepy laugh.

"Hee...... Hee-hee-hee-hee...... He's going to eliminate us...... Eliminate...... Bah~heehehe......"

The erratic laughter seemed to come from all directions, and it seemed to appear directly in his brain, Gu Qi would not be frightened by this Cheng dù's trickery, he was more concerned about the word "we".
