Chapter 024 - Dilian (3)
The business in the rouge shop was deserted, and as the shopkeeper, Xing Ruyi had to carry out a side business. She carried the ghost card through the narrow alley and stopped in front of an old residential building.
"I'm afraid it's been some years in this building."
"It was built in the 70s, and it belonged to the houses that only the rich lived in at that time." A ghost cha followed. "You may not believe my sister, I lived in this residential building when I was a child."
"Believe, why don't I believe it?"
Xing Ruyi glanced at the ghost, twenty-four or five years old, dyed with particularly eye-catching peacock green hair, and was wearing a ghost uniform strictly required by the underworld. Well, it's a bit like a character from an anime.
"Well, that room over there used to be our family." Onicha pointed to the window on the third floor on the far left: "It's a pity, my dad is not angry, not long after marrying my mother, he contracted a gambling problem, first let my mother divorce him unbearable, and then mortgaged the house left to him by my grandparents." β
"And where did you live afterward?"
"When I have money, I rent a house, and when I don't have money, I sleep in bridges and streets, anyway, my childhood was unpleasant." Onicha shook his head: "It seems that when I was thirteen or fourteen years old, my mother came back and discussed with my father to take me away." At that time, my dad was still the same as before, he took a little money in his hand to gamble, and when he heard my mother say that, he asked her directly for money, saying that he didn't want to take me back if he didn't have 180,000 yuan, and said that the money was his hard work to support me for so many years, and that he would not be able to enjoy my blessings for the rest of his life. So, my son, to put it simply, was raised by my mother. To be honest, I really wanted to go back with my mom at the time. Follow my mother, at least you don't have to be cold, you don't have to go hungry. But because of my father's words, I changed my mind, I felt that I had been cheated by my father, and I couldn't let him cheat my mother anymore. β
"The word pitβ"
"Exactly, isn't it? 108,000 ah, that has to be my mother's hard work for many years' salary, all to my father, in disguise for others to spend? Besides, I already knew what kind of virtue I was going to be. I have a bunch of bad problems, and the great mother's love alone is only afraid that it will be difficult to influence me. Although my mother didn't say it, I estimated that she would definitely remarry, and it would not be easy for her to bring back such a disobedient and stinky child like me. As for me, I'm used to wandering with my dad, so I won't harm my mom anymore. β
"And how did you do it?"
"It's confusing." The ghost stroked his hair: "My dad owed a lot of loan sharks for gambling, and he was forced to pay debts with a knife. He was so afraid of death that he pushed me out. As for me, I was really unlucky, and I was slashed in the head by those people, and went straight from the ground to the ground. Because he died in vain, he could only live in the city of vain for the time being. To be honest, I think it's better to be a ghost than to be a human, at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking, and you don't want to be so scary when you die in the city, it's quite comfortable. I don't have to worry about eating, drinking, and a place to stay, so when I'm idle and have nothing to do, I wander around and help a ghost or something. Yan Jun was happy to see that I was still an aspiring and worthy of cultivation, so he made me a ghost. β
"This area is under your jurisdiction?"
"Hometown, familiar with the road, I know almost everyone else, and the work is easier to do."
"What about your father, is he still wandering?"
"I'm not wandering anymore, and my life is quite comfortable." The ghost pointed to the side: "Oh, go through that community, and after two more traffic lights, you will arrive at the warm nursing home, where my dad lives." He, he hasn't done anything serious in his life, and when he gets old, he even has a dementia. It's good to be demented, and I can't remember any bastard things all of a sudden. It's a shame to catch up with the policy, and the community sees that he has no children and no daughters, so they sent him there. I went to see him in the middle of the night, and he slept so ugly, and he was so long. β
"That's your dad."
"It's just my biological dad." The ghost clapped his hands and stood up: "To be honest, I hated him a lot before. If it weren't for him, my mom wouldn't have left, and I wouldn't have become a motherless kid who couldn't go to school and mess around outside all day. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have died on the streets at such a young age. But seeing his dementia, I didn't hate him in my heart, and even felt a little pitiful about him. Later, after doing a ghost errand and seeing a lot of various things, I began to believe that God chose to let him be my father, and he was also testing me. Just think that I owe him in my last life, and if I pay it back in this life, there will be no next life. β
"Where's the girl you're going to take?"
"Basement." Onisha pointed to the bottom of the house.
"Let's go, go to the basement."
"Does my sister know who that girl is?"
"I don't know. But do we know that it matters? β
"Others don't matter, she's a little bit important." The green-haired ghost reached out and put an extra newspaper in his palm, and the front page was printed with a seven-inch photo, in which she was a girl with a very personality. "Oh, it's her, the only daughter of the boss of a real-name company in Los Angeles, her name is here, her name is Li Run."
"Does it matter? Even if she is a rich second generation, we can't charge more travel expenses. β
"Does that sister know why I can't take her away?"
"Because you are soft-hearted, because you pity Xiangxiang and cherish the jade to see that the other party is a beautiful girl?"
"Sister, you're really joking, there are many more beautiful people I took away than her. The reason why I couldn't take her away was not only because she was very angry, but also because she had something on her. She seemed to be trapped in the basement by something like that. I haven't been a ghost for a long time, and I can't deal with the things on her body because of my ghost skills, so I can only trouble you to come over. β
"Such a story, huh?"
"It's very evil, sister, can you be serious?" The green-haired ghost cha clasped his hands together: "As for me, although I don't know your true identity, sister, I heard from other veteran ghosts, they said that sister, you have been in the underworld for a long time, and you have a very good relationship with the one above." If something happens to you, I'm going to be gone. β
"Don't worry, even if something happens, it has nothing to do with you." Xing Ruyi patted the green-haired shoulder and went down the basement with his fingers around the ghost card.
As soon as I arrived in the basement, I smelled a very familiar, dangerous smell. She stopped with her hand spinning the ghost card, her eyes narrowing slightly, looking into a corner of the basement.
There was something hidden in that corner, and that thing could affect the ghost art that Xing Ruyi had rebuilt for nearly a thousand years.
"Be careful." She whispered to the green hair as she moved closer to the wall and slowly towards the corner. There were also a lot of ghosts in this basement, and when they saw Xing Ruyi coming, they turned their heads one by one and quickly hid.
"I'll go, why are there so many fish in this place?"
"It's not that they slipped through the net, but that these ghosts are incomplete and don't have the qualifications to be brought back to the underworld by ghosts."
"Ghostly?"
"Don't you see what they're wearing? This place was originally a mass grave, and most of them were killed by devils during the Anti-Japanese War. The devil believed in yin-yang magic, and was worried that killing too many people would affect the luck, so he asked someone to use yin-yang magic to suppress these people who were killed by them. This yin-yang technique is so vicious that they can't be human in life and ghosts in death, only these yin spirits remain, and they are wandering here for months as adults. β
"Then how did Li Run get here? She is the eldest lady of the dignified Li Group, even if she is not like in TV, she has a special crash or something when she goes out, and it is impossible for her to run into such a dilapidated community alone. β
"She didn't come here, she was driven here." Xing Ruyi lit a cluster of ghost fire with his backhand, and the ghost fire was reflected in that corner. In the corner, the cat has a black-red shadow.
"Clothes, I want clothes, my clothes are gone, which of you can give me your clothes?" Footsteps were heard, and the black-red shadow spoke.
"I have clothes here, do you want them? If you want, come and get it. Greenhair quietly pulled out the ghost chain.
The black-red shadow stood up and quickly moved to the green-haired one. The green-haired saw the true face of the black-and-red figure clearly, but he was stunned for a moment, and even forgot to use the soul chain in his hand.
This is a skinner, or to be more accurate, Li Run was skinned alive. Li Run in front of him had no skin or hair on his body, and some of his body had red muscles, just like the kind of specimen that green hair had ever seen. No, it's not a specimen, it's the kind of painting that the hospital hangs on the wall, and the painting is exactly the same as the current Li Run, except that there are no lower limbs in the painting.
"Oh my God, it's the first time I've seen this." The greenhead silently took a half-step back.
"It is said that there was a kind of torture during the Ming Dynasty. This torture involves burying a living person in the desert with only one head exposed, and then using a knife to cut a cross cut on the top of the person's head, and pouring mercury through the knife. Because the mercury is very heavy, it will sink down, and the sand will become very hot by noon. At this time, the person buried in the sand will be scalded and jump out of the sand. β
"Isn't this mercury poisonous? This person has been poisoned, how can he jump out? β
"Very scientific question, but unfortunately I don't know the answer either. That's what the legend says, and as for the truth, no one has verified it, and no one has verified it. It is said that at that time, the entire skin of the person who was tortured would remain in the sand, and only a bloody body would jump out. These people who have been skinned off their whole skins will become skinners when they die. β
