Chapter 7: The Soul Emerges
Tonight's moon didn't know what was going on, as if it was afraid that others would see it, and it hid behind the clouds and refused to show its head.
If it weren't for the presence of street lights on both sides of the road, Jiang Wei wouldn't have come to this kind of place.
I took out my phone and looked at the time, it was still early, it was only eight o'clock in the evening, and many shops on both sides of the street were still open, and there were several small restaurants mixed in.
Originally, he didn't feel hungry, but when Jiang Wei saw the restaurant, his stomach began to growl, and it was only then that he realized that with the day he had been in a coma, he hadn't eaten for two days, which was okay, and when he thought about it, he felt that his stomach was empty at the moment.
casually found a noodle restaurant, and under the stunned gaze of the boss, Jiang Wei ate three bowls of noodles in a row, and then he couldn't finish checking out and leaving.
The stomach was full, but the business should be done or done, Jiang Wei didn't know where to start, so he wandered back and forth on the street aimlessly.
At this time, although it was still early and there were many pedestrians on the street, Jiang Wei could see that most people were in a hurry, and even if some shops were open, the boss was cleaning up or cleaning inside, as if they were preparing to close their doors.
After ten o'clock, the shops on both sides seemed to have been discussed in advance, and none of them were left at once, and the pedestrians on the street were all gone.
At this time, on a huge street, Jiang Wei was still standing there in a daze, not knowing the situation.
Although it is rumored that this street is haunted at night, there is no need to hide in this way, isn't it too exaggerated?
The wind was howling, leaflets, plastic bags and other things on the road were flying everywhere, and the billboards were also flapping rhythmically with the sound of the wind, I don't know if it was Jiang Wei's illusion, even the bright street lamps just now immediately became slightly dimmed.
This scene made it difficult for Jiang Wei to connect with the street that was still bustling just now.
After a short period of distraction, Jiang Wei quickly adjusted his mood, after all, he came to find that thing tonight, if someone is there, maybe the other party will not dare to come out.
He came prepared, there are some things that he is not embarrassed to use in front of outsiders after all, and whether he can go well tonight depends on whether these things work.
Open the backpack, take out all the things that have been prepared for a long time, and put them on the ground one by one.
A bundle of oversized coins, a dozen yellow table papers, a gossip mirror with a mirror in the middle, a few pieces of runic paper that I couldn't understand what was drawn on them, two white candles, a small bundle of incense, and a small sword made of copper coins.
These things were bought in the store behind the hospital when he came, and according to the shopkeeper, no matter what kind of demons and monsters he had, as long as he had these things, he would definitely be able to destroy them, and he could keep himself safe at all.
Anyway, what the boss said at the time was that it was a lot of money, and for this, Jiang Wei also spent hundreds of yuan, and it was these things that gave him the confidence to dare to come here.
Then there was only one thing left, although there were no people on the street, but after all, this was a main road, and occasionally one or two cars would pass by here, so at this moment, Jiang Wei was not particularly scared except for a little hairy in his heart.
Waiting is the hardest thing in the world, especially if you are not waiting for a person, you don't know when the other person will come, and you don't know what will come to you in the next moment, this situation can easily make people anxious, fear and other negative emotions.
Jiang Wei is like this at this moment, in the empty street, as long as there is a little sound, it will make his spirit tense immediately, and then infinitely amplified in the depths of his heart.
As the minutes passed, the number of cars passing on the road became scarcer, and sometimes not a single car passed for 20 minutes.
I don't know when it started, the entire block was shrouded in a faint layer of white mist, and when Jiang Wei found out about this, he couldn't see anything clearly from five meters away.
This change immediately aroused Jiang Wei's vigilance.
"Woo......"
The whirring wind sounded a bit like the howl of some animal, and a bit like the wail of a ghost, which sounded a little infiltrating.
Looking at the time, it was close to twelve o'clock in the night, perhaps because he had stood in one place for too long, Jiang Wei's legs were a little numb.
He moved his feet with difficulty, and found that his two calves were trembling terribly, and not only smiled bitterly.
"Hey, it seems that my guts are still too small."
"Hee-hee...... Hey hey ......"
At this moment, a series of faint laughter spread to Jiang Wei's ears, causing him to hurriedly prick up his ears and listen carefully.
But the strange thing is that when he calmed down and listened, the laughter just now was gone, which made him a little weird, whether he had auditory hallucinations just now.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
Another series of laughter came to mind, and Jiang Wei, who was highly concentrated, heard it clearly this time, and the laughter seemed to sound from behind him, and it sounded like it was coming from the mouth of a child.
He turned his head sharply, but there was nothing behind him but the churning mist.
"Hee-hee-hee......"
This time the laughter appeared directly in front of him, and this time Jiang Wei reacted very quickly, and the moment the laughter sounded, he immediately turned back.
A low, small figure flashed out of the corner of his eye at an uncanny speed, eventually disappearing into the mist.
"Who is it?"
Jiang Wei's voice trembled a little, and his legs, which had been swinging just now, trembled even more violently.
"Gollum ......"
Swallowing with difficulty, Jiang Wei trembled and picked up the small sword made of copper coins from a pile of things on the ground and placed it across his chest.
"No...... Regardless of your ...... Is it a human or a ghost, I ...... Tell you, I don't ...... I'm afraid of you. ”
Even Jiang Wei himself could hear what Jiang Wei said, and the fear and lack of confidence in it.
"Yes, salute before soldiers."
Suddenly, Jiang Wei remembered the boss's words.
"As long as you burn these things at that time, those unclean things will let you go, if it doesn't work, you use this lit gossip mirror and money sword to deal with it, this is called salute before soldiers, adding up to a total of ......"
Jiang Wei didn't have the heart to recall the latter words at this moment, according to the boss, he first lit two white candles, and in order not to be blown out by the wind, he also squatted down and blocked it with his clothes.
After setting up the candles, he lit the incense and inserted it in the crevices in the ground, and when everything was ready, he took the yellow table paper and the dark coins and burned them one by one, and while burning, he also turned his head and looked around, for fear that something would suddenly come out of nowhere.
The flames that burst from time to time made Jiang Wei feel a lot more relieved for the time being, and his heart, which was beating wildly, began to slowly calm down.
It may be that the things he burned really played a role, Jiang Wei felt that the wind that had been "whirring" was gradually silent, and the surrounding fog seemed to be a little thinner before.
Everything is finding out in a good direction. Jiang Wei's action of burning paper money in his hand became even harder.
But what he didn't know was that not far behind him, a small figure was looking at him with a puzzled expression.
