Chapter 36: Circulation
Anne was about to pull Betty out of the room when she turned around to find someone behind her.
It was a slightly fat woman, dressed in a light blue bathrobe, looking like she had just gotten out of bed.
She suddenly appeared behind Yi Annie like that, and when Yi Annie looked at her, she suddenly stretched out her hand, startling Yi Annie's feet to go soft, and she sat on the cement floor with her buttocks, smashing her tail spine.
Betty heard Iannie's commotion, withdrew her gaze from the outside landscape, and turned her head to see the woman, and also saw the woman's outstretched hand.
At first, Betty thought that Yi Anne was pushed down by her, and quickly pulled Yi Anne up, and then came to the woman and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing here? Why are you pushing Annie? ”
Anne admired Betty's ignorant courage, and quickly pulled Betty aside and whispered to her, "She appeared out of nowhere, this is obviously a ghost!" ”
Betty looked at the woman and suddenly realized, "That's what ghosts look like?" It doesn't feel that scary, it feels like a living person. ”
As she spoke, she wanted to reach out to touch the ghost in front of her, but Yi Annie quickly pulled her hand back.
The female ghost didn't seem to hear Anne and Betty at all, and her outstretched hands moved in the air, as if they were doing something.
Betty looked at it for a moment and judged, "She's probably making sandwiches." ”
After receiving Betty's prompt, Yi Annie's movements were much clearer when she looked at the female ghost, such as reaching out to cut cucumbers, frying ham, and opening the refrigerator.
After looking at it for a while, Betty clenched her right hand into a fist and slammed it into her left palm.
"I'll just say this woman looks a little familiar, isn't she the serial murderer's neighbor? According to the investigation, she was the first victim of this serial killing. ”
As she spoke, Betty took out her phone and opened her mailbox. Although there is no Internet, she has downloaded this information before and can still open it.
Yi Annie didn't pay much attention to this case, her source had always been obtained from chatting with the people around her, after all, she was not particularly interested in this incident, and even for some reason, she was a little afraid of this kind of incident.
As a staff member of the news section, Betty pays a lot of attention to this news.
Eaanne glanced at the female ghost and saw that she was still making sandwiches, so she tilted her head back to look at Betty's phone.
In addition to the police killed and injured in this morning's shootout, the murderer has killed a total of 21 people in the past three days, in addition to more than 30 people injured in this incident.
The first nine were the murderer's neighbors, a total of three families, all of whom were killed in their own homes, and after the murderer killed someone, he set fire to the neighbor's house.
There were also 6 people who were killed in the house with their whole family, but at that time the police had already begun to hunt down the murderer, so the murderer did not burn down the house to attract the attention of nearby residents.
In addition, six people were killed on the road, either by gunfire by the killer or by a rampaging murderer driving his car.
The first family on the death list is only a couple, and the two seem to have started a small company together, and the husband is a little middle-aged bald, but he still looks handsome as a mature man. The wife in the photo looks like an elite woman, with big wavy dark brown hair, a pair of slightly old-fashioned black-rimmed glasses, and a big red lip gloss.
Yi Annie compared for a long time, only to find that the female ghost in front of her, who did not wear glasses or makeup, was the person in the photo. At this point, Yi Anne had to admire Betty, which was actually recognizable.
Betty looked at Anne, "Will this ghost hurt us?" ”
Yi Annie shook her head: "How do I know?" ”
Betty: "Haven't you watched a lot of ghost movies?" ”
Yi Annie spread her hands: "Then what kind of ghost movie should I watch." There are several kinds of ghosts that turn into such innocent victims: some are completely harmless, that is, they exist in the form of ghosts, inadvertently frightening people; Some will show kindness to the new victim and help them fight her killer; some have become puppets of murderous ghosts, helping them get more victims; Others, because of their resentment, have become ghosts themselves......"
Betty seemed to have some confidence in Anne's skillful answer: "You really have a lot of experience with horror films, so what should we do now?" ”
Anne thought for a moment, "Let's get out of this room first." One of my strange things is that most of the ghosts only appear where they died, so why does this ghost appear here? ”
As they were talking, the female ghost in front of them stopped moving, and the two of them were about to feel out of the room.
The female ghost seemed to hear something, and then her mouth moved, as if she was talking, but Anne and Betty couldn't hear anything.
Betty shook her head slightly and regretted: "It would be nice if the entertainment version of Emily was here, she can read lips, and many of the revelations in the entertainment version came from this." ”
After a while, another figure appeared from the next room, and looking at the bald head, Yi Anne recognized that it was the husband of the female ghost.
While the two ghosts were talking intimately, Iannie and Betty also quietly touched the door that was not installed.
was about to go out, but found that the female ghost was walking towards them, and this time, the two of them retreated silently.
The female ghost made a gesture to open the door, chatted with the air outside the door, and then made a frightened expression, and then fell backwards. Soon, the red on her chest spread across her nightgown and the ground where she had fallen.
The male ghost quickly rushed to the door, crouched down and hugged his wife, shouted two words to the door, and then fell down on his head.
The heads of the two ghosts were tilted to the side, and their unblinded eyes were looking at Anne and Betty.
Anne and Betty were so frightened by the horror pantomime in front of them that they wanted to scream, but they felt that their throats were completely blocked and they couldn't make any sound.
Anne had seen a similar scene before, when Noah's mother came home on a rainy night, and a good ghost suddenly twisted and deformed, splattered blood plasma, and finally came to arrest her.
Therefore, when this similar scene happened, Yi Anne was immediately alert, and pulled Betty to continue to retreat to the corner, at least to stay away from it for a while.
After a while, smoke rose from the two corpses, gradually blackened and deformed, and soon shrank into a small clump, and finally dissipated into a puff of green smoke. Apparently, it was the murderer who burned their bodies along with the house.
When the smoke at the door had completely dissipated, the female ghost in her bathrobe reappeared in the center of the room, and as if nothing had happened, she resumed making her Saturday sandwich breakfast.
"Hey, this ghost breed is different from what I've seen before." Anne told Betty about seeing Noah's mother's ghost last week and being caught, "This ghost seems to be just repeating his death scene all the time, and he didn't spill blood everywhere." ”
Betty was impressed by Yi Annie's calm analysis at this time.
Yi Annie lamented for herself: "I have probably experienced a lot and am more proficient ......"
But in any case, they took advantage of the gap to leave the room and return to the hallway of the apartment building.
"Shall we move on?" Yi Annie hesitated, "Why don't you go upstairs and find Victor and Inferno?" ”
Betty nodded, and the two of them walked up the bloodless side of the stairs together.
When she reached the second floor, Yi Annie suddenly felt a little dazed, and in front of her was still the hall on the first floor of the apartment building.
Betty, who was beside her, clung to Anne's arm, her nails digging deep into her flesh.
"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!" Anne screamed, waking Betty up and finally letting her light her down.
"What's going on?" Betty yelled as she pointed to the front door.
Yi Anne grabbed Betty, who was about to continue upstairs, and explained: "This is called ghost hitting the wall, which is basically that we are locked in this floor by ghosts, under normal circumstances, no matter how many times you take the stairs, you can't escape this cycle, and you may be separated from me, so let's not climb the stairs for the time being." ”
"Is there a way to crack this 'ghost hitting the wall'?" Betty saw that Yi Annie was a little surprised by this, and immediately asked hopefully.
Yi Annie nodded: "I've heard of several ways to crack it, but none of them seem to be quite applicable to our current situation. ”
"For example?" Betty asked.
Yi Annie thought for a moment and stretched out a finger: "The easiest way is to stay where you are and don't move, usually, the ghost hitting the wall happens at night when the yin air is very heavy, and at dawn, the rooster crows and dawn, and the ghost hitting the wall will be lifted." ”
Betty looked around, it was not yet noon, and the apartment building without doors and windows was brightly lit by the sky that penetrated everywhere, and she couldn't feel the so-called "yin qi" at all.
Yi Annie stretched out a second finger: "I also heard that the child's urine can crack the ghost and hit the wall." ”
"What's a boy's pee?" Betty asked, confused.
"Boy pee...... It's just never ...... What's that...... Male ...... Urine. Anne explained awkwardly, making a jerk motion with her hand by the way.
Betty's face froze.
Yi Annie smiled dryly and stretched out her third finger: "There is also a saying that scolding ghosts." ”
"Scolding?" Betty wondered.
Yi Annie nodded: "It is said that it is to scold the ghost who hit the wall, if the ghost thinks that he can't scold you, he will let you go." ”
Betty finally smiled, she straightened up, and put her hands on her hips: "I can do this!" ”
"Huh," Anne said, looking at the pretty Betty in a youthful tennis outfit, "this is really unseemly." ”
Since Betty felt that she could do it, of course Yi Annie had to sacrifice her life to accompany the beauty, and she and Betty walked up the stairs again hand in hand.
Betty spat fragrant as she walked up, and there were so many phrases and sentences that Anne had never even heard.
"Ah, it looks like I still have a lot to learn about English."
