Chapter 482: This ghost is not another ghost
Seeing Peter Bi shaking his head, the next moment, He Fei said to him with a serious face: "Although we are indeed tourists and have come to Hong Kong to travel, we have another layer of identity, a group of exorcists from the mainland!" ”
"Exorcism...... Exorcists? ”
Upon hearing this, Peter was stunned, along with the executors around him.
Ignoring the reactions of others and nodding, He Fei kept talking, and explained with a more serious expression and tone: "The so-called 'exorcist' is easy to explain from the literal meaning alone, similar to Taoist priests, maybe the only difference is that we don't wear Taoist robes and don't worship Sanqing, but one thing is the same, that is, we all know how to drive away evil spirits." ”
"Mr. Peter, from the conversation just now, I found that you are convinced of the theory of the god of the mantis, and since you believe that there are mantis in the world, it is natural that there are exorcists who are opposed to the maligns, indeed, this time we came to Hong Kong originally to travel, but just happened to come to your hotel, in fact, from the first time we entered the Tsim Sha Tsui Hotel we noticed that your hotel is quite yin, and then we really learned the cause of the incident from the receptionist Ah Bin, and knew about the hotel trouble, so, after discussion, We finally decided to stay at the hotel and help you deal with the monsters. ”
He Fei was talking in an extremely solemn tone from beginning to end, but it was precisely because the young man's tone was too solemn and too serious, which also made Peter Bi's face change in a dull tone, until He Fei finished explaining, until the atmosphere gradually became heavy, he suddenly came back to his senses, and swallowed his saliva, Bi Peter raised his head as if he thought of something and asked in a puzzled tone: "Exorcist?" If you were really an exorcist, you would help me exorcise the moths for nothing? ”
(There's a play!) )
After listening to the inquiry, coupled with the man's pale face, seeing this, He Fei's heart was settled, obviously, not to talk about anything else for the time being, from the man's reaction alone, he thought that he knew that the other party was still not fully convinced at the moment, and he vaguely believed seven or eight points in his heart, in fact, it was very understandable, because Peter Bi believed that there were mantis in the world, so it was natural for this kind of person to have an exorcist who was opposed to the mantis, so he confirmed that his remarks were accepted by the other party, He Fei replied with a solemn expression: " First of all, the responsibility of the exorcist is to expel the monsters in the world and return the world to a peaceful place, this is the mission of the exorcist, as for the fee, we have never forced it, and we don't mind if you don't pay afterwards, of course, after all, the exorcist also has to eat, if you can pay some money, we are still grateful. ”
As mentioned above, He Fei is very good at grasping human psychology, if you don't want money at all, the other party may think that you have other intentions, and once you ask for money, the other party is a lot more at ease, saying so, it is true, sure enough, after listening to the young man's answer, Peter Bi, who was still half-convinced just now, completely believed it this time, and subconsciously thought that this group of people may really have the ability to drive away evil spirits, the reason is very simple, after all, the other party is from the mainland, Unexpectedly, when I learned that there was a crab in the hotel that killed mainlanders, he still didn't leave, he didn't escape, unless this group of people are all crazy, otherwise Eighteen or Nine is really as the other party said, they are exorcists, and they are a group of psychics who know how to exorcise evil spirits!
Of course, the reason why Peter Bi is quick to believe that although the above accounts for a certain weight, strictly speaking, the real key role is the last paragraph of He Fei:
"Mr. Peter, now that you and I know that there is a crab hidden in the hotel, and the crab kills mainlanders, you must have a good way to deal with it, so you have formulated a rule prohibiting mainlanders from staying in the hotel, but ...... Even if the hotel does not allow mainlanders to stay in order to avoid the recurrence of accidents, it still can't avoid losses for you, so don't you plan to make mainlanders money in this life? If that's the case, the loss will be huge. ”
What is the deadliest blow to a money-hungry businessman? There is no doubt that cutting off their financial routes is the most deadly, and reducing their income is the most deadly.
As expected, seeing that the corners of the man's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he touched his chin, He Fei continued: "What's more, paper can't contain the fire after all, what if the hotel trouble spreads through your business?" Can the hotel continue to open? What would happen if a few more people died? ”
"If you don't believe us, then we'll leave the hotel."
After that, He Fei really got up and wanted to leave.
"Don't! Other! Mr. Ho, please wait! Wait a minute! ”
Sure enough, seeing the young man getting up to leave, Peter Bi was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop He Fei, and immediately said to the young man and all the executors in an unprecedentedly respectful tone: "Mr. He, and everyone, I believe it, I believe it!" I believe that you are exorcists, otherwise you would not be able to be so calm when you know that there are mites in the hotel, so this scorpion in the hotel is for you! There will be great thanks afterwards! ”
(it!) This flicker, this flickering is really ...... )
No one expected that things would turn out like this, and who didn't expect the ending to be so smooth, at this moment, listening to the man's pleading, and seeing Peter Bi looking at He Fei like a savior, except for Peng Hu, Cheng Ying and Zhao Ping, who had already prepared in their hearts, the rest of the executors were all secretly shocked in their hearts, but they really didn't expect that their captain was a big fool with eloquence in addition to his outstanding wisdom! Not only opened his eyes and said nonsense, but also talked serious nonsense, and with a few words, the other party believed the other party!
In addition to being surprised, a young Taoist priest couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
(Tsk, you really can't underestimate any veteran, not to mention Peng Hu, who fights fiercely, Cheng Ying, who is indifferent and ruthless, Zhao Ping, who is ruthless and very good at lying, and even the captain who looks ordinary on the surface has two brushes, and his ability to flicker is as strong as this...... Tsk, it's amazing, it's not easy. )
Getting back to the point, in the guest room, at this moment, after confirming that Peter Bi had completely believed in the identity of the exorcist he had pulled out nonsense, He Fei nodded, and the reason why he made up the identity of the exorcist for himself is not difficult to understand, through earlier analysis, He Fei believes that the hotel owner named Peter Bi in front of him is very likely to be one of the key people in solving the supernatural incident on Yin Yang Road, and since he is a key person, the executor must gain the trust of the other party, otherwise the topic behind cannot be expanded, and it is even more difficult to obtain clues. Only by convincing the other party can he provide beneficial help for the next clue acquisition, in general, He Fei's ultimate goal is very simple, that is, to solve the supernatural event as quickly as possible! Even if the mission time limit is as long as 10 days, He Fei is still unwilling to delay it for too long under the long-standing sense of crisis.
(Very well, the first step of the plan was successfully completed, and now I have basically gained the trust of Peter Bi, so the next ...... )
Thinking of this, ignoring the surprised eyes of others, and not caring about the strange atmosphere around him, He Fei coughed lightly twice, and then said to Peter Bi, who was pleading with the other side: "Mr. Peter, if you really want us to help you solve this matter, then I hope you can tell me the details of that grandma." ”
Well? Mother-in-law?
After hearing this, Peter Bi was slightly stunned, and then patted his head and asked, "That grandma?" Could it be that you mean ......?"
He Fei replied with a solemn expression: "Yes, it is Qi Longlan!" ”
………
Seeing He Fei mention the murdered grandmother, Peter Bi fell silent, seeing him like this, most of the executors present had guesses, guessing that there must be hidden secrets, especially He Fei, who further guessed in his heart that things should have twists and turns, not as simple as the original receptionist A Bin said.
The room, the atmosphere is oppressive, time, passes slowly.
In silence, He Fei reached into his pocket, took out a cigarette and handed it over.
"Whew, good smoke!"
There was silence for a long time, until he lit a cigarette and took a deep breath, instinctively complimented him, and then, Peter Bi reacted, as if he had made up some kind of determination, while exhaling a puff of smoke while scanning the people around him with his eyes, and finally relocked his gaze on He Fei, and said: "I think Abin has already told you about this matter before, the grandma named Qi Longlan did die in the Tsim Sha Tsui Hotel a year ago, and I personally don't know Grandma, and I have never even met, but ......"
Speaking of this, after a pause, the man changed his words and continued: "The above information is half-true, it belongs to the lie said in front of the police and even others, yes, I have hidden something, but the real situation is...... I know Grandma myself, and I've known her for a long time. ”
Well?
As soon as Peter Bi said this, He Fei was stunned, and everyone present was collectively stunned, but no one interjected to ask, because everyone knew that the other party must have something to do.
As for Peter Bi, after speaking, he groaned slightly, as if he was hesitating about something in his heart, of course, hesitation is hesitation, since the words have begun, then the next things naturally have to be said, so in the following time, the original movie protagonist told everyone about one thing, a past, and narrated the past between him and Qi Longlan's grandmother.
"I met my grandma four years ago, to be honest, my acquaintance with my grandma was very dramatic, although I don't know if there is a fixed number of luck in the end, but I deeply understand how bad luck people will be once unlucky, I remember that four years ago I was almost unlucky, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a bad luck, I didn't do anything well and failed to do anything, I lost money on horses, lost all cards when I played, and even soaked urine will splash on my hands, and finally, the hundreds of thousands of stocks I bought fell rapidly, As a result, I was on the verge of bankruptcy, so during that period of time, I drank heavily all day long, drunk like mud every day, and my whole person was almost decadent. ”
"In order to cheer me up and regain my strength, one of my good buddies Chen Tsai proposed to travel together to relax, I agreed, a few days later, I, Chen Tsai and his girlfriend Xiaozhu and two other buddies together a total of 5 people took a boat to the island, and the island is an uninhabited desert island, it stands to reason that this thing is very simple, nothing more than a small island tour, however, people never dreamed of ...... When the group set foot on that desert island, there were several unexplained horror and supernatural events one after another, Chen Zai died, his girlfriend died, and the other two buddies also died, all of them died, died inexplicably, died weird and bizarre, and finally I was the only one left alive to escape from the desert island, Rao is so, I also suffered a lot of injuries. ”
Listening to Peter Bi's narration, He Fei instinctively looked at each other a few times with several seniors on both sides, and as expected, everyone saw surprise and shock in each other's eyes, the reason? The reason is simple, because......
Somewhat familiar, or from Peter's narrative just now, the desert island incident mentioned is very similar to a certain story in the original movie of Yin Yang Road!
As for Peter, the men's narrative continues.
"Due to physical injuries, when I sailed away from the desert island and returned to land, I was dizzy because of the aggravation of the injury, it stands to reason that I should have rushed to the hospital at that time, but unfortunately I couldn't, the reason is the landing site, the landing site is still a wilderness, there are no cars or people around, only a weed wasteland that can not be seen at a glance, and there are a few deserted gravestones scattered in the wasteland, in desperation, I had to grit my teeth and walk to the direction of the city, however, I didn't take a few steps, I, found people, During the walk, I noticed that there was an old woman who burned paper squatting in front of one of the graves, a grandmother with gray hair and plain clothes, the grandmother always squatted in front of the grave with her back to me and burned paper silently, seeing this, I walked over curiously, but I tripped over a stone under my feet, as I said before, because I was a little dizzy at that time, so I lost consciousness after falling to the ground, completely fainted, and at the last moment of the fainting I inadvertently saw the tombstone, and saw a posthumous photo attached to the tombstone. ”
"I don't know how long later, when I woke up, I found myself lying on a bed, in a dark tile room, there was an empty bowl on the bedside cabinet, and the whole room also exuded a strong smell of herbs, it is admittedly a little confused at that time, but I still knew that it should be the owner of the house who saved me, not long after, with a burst of footsteps from far to near, the outhouse walked into a person, until the person came to the bed completely, I found that the other party was the previous paper-burning grandmother, although I only saw the other party's back but did not see the face, through the outfit and the back, I can still be sure that the person who came is the grandmother, but ......"
"It was precisely because I determined the identity of the other party that I was almost scared to death when I saw Grandma's face for the first time."
"The picture of the tombstone I saw when I fainted is the portrait of the deceased...... It's exactly the same as the grandma in front of you! ”
"After some exchanges, I suddenly realized that I had made a big fuss, it turned out that this grandma is not the other grandma, the grandma and the tombstone deceased are not the same person, the grandma is named Qi Longlan, and the tombstone photo is his twin sister Qi Longxin, who burned paper in front of the grave to his sister."
"Getting back to the point, when I learned what happened, although I was embarrassed, I didn't forget to thank my grandmother for the first time, thanking the other party for saving me, but, without waiting for me to speak, my grandmother, who had been observing me during the period, said a word before me, and directly said something that made me creepy."
"Young man, you, are not far from death."
"Grandma actually said that I am not far from death? With fear, mixed with puzzlement, surprised and surprised, I hurriedly asked again and again, it is undeniable that Grandma was reluctant to answer at first, but under my almost collapsed crying, sighed, Xu was pitiful, and finally, Grandma explained everything, saying that since she saw me at first glance, she knew that I was entangled by a debt collection beetle, and from my blue face I should have been entangled by the dragon for a long time. The debt collector does not have the ability to kill people directly, but it can gradually weaken the luck of the living through time, which leads to being entangled in decay and bad luck, until there is nothing, until the family is ruined, and when I am completely ruined and has nothing, it is the time when my own luck is lost and I die. ”
"I admit that this grandmother named Qi Longlan is silent and taciturn on the surface, but she is actually a good person, a kind-hearted grandmother, Qi Longlan has never been married in her life, and she has been living near this deserted suburb for so many years, I raised my grandmother's house for a week, and finally not only injured before leaving, but also did a very strange exorcism for me, it is really strange, since the completion of the fight, my luck is not as bad as before, although it is not good luck, But at least all the things I lost in the past are back, I'm not unlucky, I'm not on my back, everything is back to normal, I'm out of bad luck, completely out of bad luck, I was very happy during that time. ”
"Later, I became friends with my grandmother, and I would drive to my grandmother's whenever I was free, but she never asked me for a penny or any gifts, and even refused the invitation that I wanted her to move to the city to live.
"On the phone, Grandma said that she had something to do in the city, so she asked me if I could help her find a place to live, as you can imagine, seeing Grandma has something, at that time, I didn't say a word and immediately drove Grandma to the Tsim Sha Tsui Hotel I operated, and immediately arranged a comfortable room for Grandma to live, nothing happened during the period, the only thing that puzzled me was that Grandma carried something, a square bag wrapped in linen, of course, because I knew Grandma's temper, although I cared about it, I still suppressed my curiosity and did not ask, Who would have thought ...... It was precisely this meeting that became the last time my grandma and I met! ”
Speaking of this, Peter paused, and then the whole person became depressed, his face showed sadness, and he sighed and continued: "I never expected that Grandma was killed on the third day of staying in the hotel, and was killed in the room. ”
"After I finished my grandma's funeral, there was a period of calm, however, it didn't take long for my hotel to start dying frequently, and there were frequent suicides of mainland residents, as for the rest of the matter, you all know."
"I regret it, I really regret it, I really shouldn't have taken Grandma to my hotel in the first place, otherwise Grandma wouldn't have ...... Ay! ”
The above is the whole story, it is the remorse and self-blame of the man in front of him to conceal the past, after the narration, Peter took a deep breath, as if telling the secret he had hidden for many years made his whole person a lot easier.
As for He Fei, as for all the executors present......
After listening to Peter's past, everyone in the room looked incredulously surprised.
Others don't talk about it first, at least after listening to the other party's narration, He Fei has already understood in an instant, and instantly obtained four pieces of information from Peter Bi's narrative, four important pieces of information of great value!
First, he didn't expect that this grandmother named Qi Longlan was a goddess before her death! The so-called goddess, generally speaking, refers to a person who knows how to exorcise evil spirits and avoid moles, although his specific ability does not know what it is, but at least he has learned that Grandma has extraordinary skills, and is a goddess who can ask questions through spirits, and this is the main reason why everyone showed shocked expressions after listening to Peter's narration.
Second, and at the same time, the most important one, that is, in Peter's narrative just now, He Fei learned that although Grandma felt gloomy, she was actually kind, even so, the question also arises, since Grandma was a goddess who knew the art of psychic questioning rice during her lifetime, and she was kind, but why did Grandma change her temperament after her death and then began to kill the living? Taking a step back, even if the soul of Grandma has been stranded in the hotel to kill mainlanders in order to take revenge, strictly speaking, it is still not in line with Grandma's nature, according to folk legends, although it is undeniable that the soul of a person who died in vain has a high chance of turning into a fierce dragon who only knows how to kill without emotion and consciousness, but, but this is only for ordinary people! What if the deceased was a psychic person who was alive? In the vast majority of cases, even if such a person dies in vain, then there is a good chance that his soul will retain a clear consciousness after death, and this is what He Fei currently does not understand the most!
Yes, Grandma was both kind and not greedy for wealth and nobility during her lifetime, and even a person she didn't know was willing to try her best to rescue, it is conceivable that even if a person like this kind of kind and psychic can turn into a moth to take revenge after death, then he will only seek revenge on the murderer, and should not kill innocents indiscriminately.
That's right, but what about the facts?
The truth is unexpected, and even the complete opposite.
After Grandma's death, she not only turned into a scorpion, but also turned into a ferocious and terrifying stalk!
The Sharp Crab began to kill, began to kill innocents indiscriminately, no matter how fast it was, killing all the mainland guests who stayed in the hotel.
Point 3......
Qi Longxin, that is, Grandma's long-dead sister, and Grandma are twins and look extremely similar.
As for the last point, it comes from the baggage mentioned at the end of Peter's account, a square wrapped in sackcloth.
After thinking about it again and again, analyzing them one by one, although He Fei still can't fully explain why Grandma killed innocents indiscriminately after her death, but when he analyzed Grandma's deceased sister and the package together, somehow, a thought, a guess, and an astonishing guess that was enough to make He Fei's hair stand on end instantly came to mind.
The guess is ......
This murderous stalk, which hides the hotel and has been killing innocents, may ...... It's not Qi Longlan!!
