Chapter 39: Man-made Disaster
In September, the summer heat in Gusu was terrible. It's almost autumn, but it's not yet coming.
Even when they came, the air was still hot.
Duckweed, Xiaowa and Xuanniao stood in front of a gloomy mansion in a daze, and no one spoke. In other words, no one knows what to say to ease the atmosphere.
Along the way, the people on the street disliked the bad luck of the house. Some people even say that this house has become a haunted house, and at night, everyone can hear the voice of a woman crying plaintly.
Xiaowa also felt a little scared, and even the palms of her hands were tired and sweaty, one hand tightly held the Xuanniao that turned into a fan, and the other hand tightly held the duckweed's hand.
"Don't be afraid" duckweed lowered her head and smiled at the little baby, and comforted: "Qing'er was such a lovely person when she was alive, even if she died, she was cute." ”
Xiaowa couldn't help but think of the face that was always blushing, and her heart was even more sad.
Seeing that no one was going to this side of the house, Xuanniao broke free from the little baby's hands and suddenly turned into a human form.
In the blink of an eye, a man in white was already in front of him, and when the bird turned into a human form, it was also very tall and majestic like a bird, giving people a sense of security.
His eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and he smiled and said: "Don't be afraid, little baby, although the resentment here is heavy, it has not yet reached the point of evil, and it can't hurt people for the time being." Even if you can hurt someone, you can't hurt us. ”
Xiaowa's heart was much more settled, but she still asked with half worry and half doubt: "Is there really a ghost here?" Sister, didn't you say that after people die, most of what remains in the world is just the remnants of people?"
"Yes, death is like a lamp going out. Duckweed nodded, "After a person dies, Yin Cha will come to ask for his soul." The humanoid god is gone, and if that person has a huge obsession, then her remnants will remain in this time. And what people usually call haunting is nothing more than the remnants of a person's thoughts after death. Just like Liu Jiuli that Xiaowa saw before, she couldn't forget the person she loved deeply, so she stayed in the world and returned to Gusu. But after a long time, she almost forgot about other trivial things, leaving only a deep obsession. ”
So as soon as the obsession was resolved, she was never seen again. ”
Duckweed nodded and said with a smile: "That obsession is invisible and godless, it is some of the qi of the dead before their death, and without the obsession, that thing will naturally be gone." After that, he touched the little baby's head again, and then said, "Little baby, don't worry, these are not obsessions." Just a little devil, don't be afraid. ”
The little baby grabbed the duckweed's hand and followed tightly, her hands oozed dense sweat, her mouth was deflated, and she was almost crying.
"Master, the little baby is timid, don't scare her. Xuanniao looked at the little baby with a gentle face.
Duckweed felt goosebumps all over her body, and silently decided in her heart that in the future, she would not bring a baby with a bird, and she would not bring a baby with a bird.
Who's going to do it!
She sighed deeply in her heart several times, and finally calmed down.
The beginning of September in Gusu was sweltering, and the three of them stood at the door of the Wang family's house, and they could vaguely smell the stench of something rotting inside, wafting out one after another, making people want to vomit.
It's no wonder that people on the street don't go this way.
Even nearby families have moved several away.
Xiaowa frowned and asked, "Sister, didn't those people on the street say that the body of the Wang family had been pulled by the government to bury it a long time ago?
Duckweed had an elusive smile on her face, but there was no smile in her eyes, "I don't know." It is not known what else is missing. Let's go in first. ”
"But in broad daylight, this door is locked, how can we get in? Xiaowa said suspiciously.
Duckweed glanced like a bird, the bird smiled and nodded, and before the baby could react, the three of them had already arrived in the courtyard.
"Hey?" Xiaowa was confused, looking at the somewhat messy Wang family's mansion, and felt that her thoughts were also messy.
"Didn't Xiao Wamo forget that we are not human?" Xuan Niao looked at her with a smile and said, but there was a little solemnity between her eyebrows, and she continued, "Master, this house is really a little strange, I'm afraid it's not as simple as we thought. ”
Duckweed nodded, the coldness in her eyes deepened. She didn't speak, just walked straight to the hall.
Xiaowa and Xuanniao couldn't help but cover their noses and said, "The smell here is so strong, is it true that there are still corpses that have not been found?"
"There are no corpses, but this is where they died, and their resentment is heavy, and some of the smells are normal. The duckweed's tone was like a knife, and the little baby couldn't help but shudder.
Although this room has not had an owner for only half a month, there are already many cobwebs on the tables, chairs and benches. The house was very messy, and many things were shattered on the floor. There were still many blood marks left by dragging the corpse on the ground, which made people feel terrified.
The inside of the hall was still very stuffy, mixed with a strong smell of rot, which made people very uncomfortable. Xuanniao and duckweed can still use spells to get rid of their snorts, but Xiaowa suffers a lot, and after a while, she will retch.
Xuanniao persuaded Xiaowa to wait for them outside, but Xiaowa only felt more scared outside. So she could only endure the nausea and discomfort, and followed the duckweed and the bird.
Duckweed picked up a bloody hemp rope on the ground, sneered and said: "Look, those people still guess that it is the work of demons and ghosts, but they don't know that the most tragic tragedy in the world is often man-made disasters. ”
Xuanniao frowned and searched around, picked out a piece from the broken porcelain bowl on the ground, and said to the duckweed: "Master, there is arsenic on this broken cup. ”
Duckweed frowned, looked around, and walked to a corner. Xiaowa was a little scared and was about to catch up with duckweed, but Xuanniao grabbed her and said, "Don't go, Xiaowa." It's a very bad place, and if you go, you're afraid you'll get into something unclean. ”
"But sister," Xiaowa was about to say something, but when she saw Xuanniao shaking her head, she stopped insisting.
The duckweed squatted in that corner for a long time, with his back to Xuanniao and Xiaowa, and after a while he stood up, and when he turned around, he fell straight down.
"Master!" the bird hurriedly rushed over and grabbed the duckweed's body that was about to fall.
"Sister. Xiaowa also hurriedly shouted, ran over in a few steps, and even her voice trembled.
She hurriedly ran over, only to see that Xuanniao had already helped the duckweed to sit up and was sending spiritual power to the duckweed. Duckweed had her teeth clenched at the moment, and her brow was furrowed deeply. He was still holding a kitchen knife in his hand, which was bloodstained, and the blade had even been cut out.
Xiaowa has never seen duckweed like this.
She looked at the duckweed, and for a moment she felt that the duckweed was not unconscious, but like a person in a nightmare.
Caught in a nightmare.
