Chapter 140: He Fei's Inference
However, just when the reincarnations downstairs were in a dilemma of analysis, at this time, in a room on the third floor of the manor...
Looking at his unconscious wife on the bed, Earl Houghton's face was very ugly, yes, in the end, the evil spirit still attacked their family, although he did not kill his wife directly, but there was a detail that caught his attention, which he had just noticed after recovering from his sadness.
That was in the bedroom of him and his wife on the second floor, that is, a few seconds before the ghost appeared and attacked his wife, he actually felt a very familiar atmosphere in the room inexplicably, at that time, it was clear that there were only three people in the room, his wife and son, and no one else, and a few seconds later, when he saw a skeleton actually emerge from the mirror and quickly floated towards his wife Mary, although he shouted at his wife in horror and ran to his wife desperately to pull his wife, but unfortunately the speed of the skeleton was too fast, has already grabbed his wife's body with one claw, and his son was also frightened and cried on the spot after seeing that terrifying scene.
However, at that time, after he saw his wife who had been in love for many years shed a lot of blood, the earl in grief actually forgot to be afraid, and after the next second, the earl directly pounced on his wife and protected his wife under his body, and then the skeleton ghost floating above grabbed his bone hand towards his heavenly spirit cover, unexpectedly... Just as the skeleton's bone claws were about to touch his Celestial Spirit Cover, the next second, something happened that Count Houghton was completely incomprehensible.
That is, the skeleton's bone claws stopped abruptly at the moment when they were about to grab his head, and then the earl saw that the skeleton in the sky seemed to be swinging all over, and the two bone arms were also waving aimlessly, and then the skeleton actually held its head and shook in mid-air...
Although the skeleton was just a skeleton, and it didn't have any expression at all, through its movements... The Earl could feel it... It seems painful!? It seems to be desperately struggling and resisting something...
Eventually, the skeleton floating above his head slowly retreated into the mirror, and then the eldest daughter, who lived in the opposite room, heard the movement and ran in, and after about a minute, the princess of Qingguo and her remaining servants also ran in.
The Earl's memories ended there, and then he stretched out his hand and showed a loving expression, and touched the heads of his son Ram and daughter Grace beside him, respectively, but when his hand stroked Grace's head, Grace next to him suddenly remembered something and said, "Father, the action of you touching my head is similar to the movement of the skeleton in my dream touching my head." ”
What the!
After hearing Grace's words, the Count was shocked! But then he asked Grace something he hadn't asked before, and it seemed like he had just thought of it, and that was...
"Baby, you said before that the skeleton in your dream that stroked your head seemed to be wearing clothes, so now your father is asking you, what kind of clothes is that skeleton wearing, can you describe it?"
After the Count's words, Grace didn't think about it for long, but after a few seconds, she slapped her head and pointed to the Count's clothes and replied, "Ah, I remember, the skeletal man in the dream is wearing exactly the same clothes as you are wearing now, father!" ”
Hearing this, Earl Houghton's pupils suddenly contracted! Then he looked down at his clothes...
At the moment, he was wearing the standard earl's dress!!
.................
Just as the discussion of the reincarnation people downstairs was at an impasse, the next moment, a sound of footsteps suddenly came from the door.
After hearing the movement, He Fei and the others hurriedly turned their heads and looked in the direction of the door, and then they were greeted by two people, walking in front was the earl's daughter Grace, and behind was the last maid named Lina in the manor, because Lina had sent meals to the reincarnators and others, so He Fei also remembered her name.
Seeing this, they were a little puzzled, so Zheng Xuan asked Grace at the door, "Grace?" You didn't stay with your family, how did you get here? ”
After Zheng Xuan's words, Grace replied, "Sister Princess, my father has something he wants to talk to you about, so let Lina accompany me to inform you." ”
"Huh? What about the old butler? Isn't it usually the old man named Alpha who is responsible for these things? ”
After hearing Grace's words, Zhang Hu next to him first touched his smooth head, and then asked the above sentence with a puzzled face.
After Zhang Hu's question was spoken, Grace's expression was a little gloomy and she replied, "Grandpa Alpha is sick, so my father asked him to rest in his own room." ”
Zheng Xuan and the others nodded after hearing this, but then they thought that since the earl had something to look for them, then maybe they could get some valuable clues from him, so the next group of reincarnators carefully followed the maid and Grace to re-enter the house and ascend the stairs to the second floor.
During this period, they looked at the mirrors on both sides of the living room, and everyone kept scanning the mirrors with their eyes as they went, because according to their original plan, they did not plan to return to the house until the results were analyzed, because the house was too dangerous, and the ghosts could attack them through the mirrors at any time and place! I don't know if ghosts can attack them outdoors, but at least the mirrorless yard will make them feel a lot more at ease.
Getting back to the point, when Zheng Xuan and the others followed Lina and Grace to the second floor and entered the room where the earl's family was currently staying, the earl, who was sitting in front of his wife's bed, was the first to say to everyone, "Please sit down, princess and everyone, I have something to tell you, of course, I didn't deliberately hide this matter, because I just thought of it." ”
......................
Then the Count told everyone everything he had thought of in his memories and about the skeleton man in Grace's dream.
And when the earl's words were finished, the reincarnators showed surprised expressions, which also made the earl a little surprised, as for He Fei, he thought that through the previous earl's words, he found two extremely valuable clues, that is, the skeleton man in Grace's dream should be sure to be the old earl, as for the second point...
"The old Earl may not have killed you because you were his son, but... Judging by the skeletal ghost you've described earlier, it seems to be in pain... It also seems to be involuntarily! ”
As soon as He Fei said this, everyone in the room immediately focused their eyes on him, and after feeling the gaze of everyone, He Fei lowered his head silently and did not speak.
However, Zhang Hu couldn't help but take the lead in asking, "What's the matter?" What is involuntarily? Isn't it that the old earl has become a ghost who kills people indiscriminately after his death? And the reason why he didn't kill the earl is just like you said before, because the earl is his son, so he didn't do it? What else is involuntary? ”
Hearing Zhang Hu's series of puzzles and questions, He Fei shook his head and said, "It's not as simple as you think, I used to like to read some folk ghost story books, so I got some information from the book that I don't know whether it's true or false, that is, if you use ancient Chinese supernatural legends to explain, that is, if a person becomes a ghost after death, then there will only be two situations." ”
Speaking of this, He Fei raised his head again and glanced at everyone, while Zheng Xuan on the side said to him, "Go on." ”
Seeing that everyone seemed to be looking forward to his following, He Fei nodded and continued, "If you paraphrase the ancient Chinese supernatural legends, that is, if a person becomes a ghost after death, then there will only be two situations, the first is an ordinary soul, this kind of soul can also be called a ghost, but there is no particularly big wish in life, and there is no deep hatred or anything, so this kind of ghost generally does not stay in the yang world for too long after death, On the first seven nights, after going home to see his family for the last time, he would generally return to the underworld to enter the six realms of reincarnation, and this kind of ghost basically retains the memory of his life during his stay in the yang world, and he has no malice towards his relatives and will not do harm, and even when his relatives are in danger, he will come to the rescue, of course, this kind of thing rarely happens, and most of the ghosts in the world also belong to this category. ”
Speaking of this, He Fei paused, but then his tone suddenly changed and continued, "But this second kind of ghost is different, and it is very different, that is, if a person, whether it is a man or a woman, when he dies with great grievances or dies in extreme pain and unwillingness, then the soul of this kind of person is very likely to transform into a fierce ghost after death, which is what we usually call a powerful ghost, this kind of ghost is very powerful, and it is not comparable to ordinary ghosts at all. And the source of the power of the ghost comes from a force called ' Resentment' thing, the heavier the resentment in the heart before death, the stronger the ability of its soul after death, this kind of ghost who died unjustly will generally not be reincarnated, but stay in the yang world for a long time to harm the living, and even some powerful ghosts can stay in the world for up to a hundred years, but one thing is certain, that is, this kind of soul or this kind of ghost will never have a trace of memory after death, the only thing they can do is to kill its enemies before death and all the living people they meet, even if it is the closest person before death, they will not let go. ”
