As early as the beginning of receiving the task of [The Old Woman Who Knocked on the Door in the Middle of the Night], Yan Junze learned that the task had a branch task to be triggered.

So when the graph prompted that the branching task had been triggered, he wasn't too surprised, and immediately looked at the text that flashed out.

[Task name: comb your hair;

Mission Level: Panic (Low);

Mission background: According to the customs of Lianhua Town, Shuntian City, Tianmeng District, Huaying Dadu, it is necessary to comb the hair of the dead three times, so that the dead can walk peacefully without any nostalgia. Although Granny Ren is gone, her obsession is very deep, and if she combs her hair three times, she may be able to let her go peacefully.

Task Description: Find a comb, comb Granny Ren's hair, and at the same time recite "Bliss in this life, get rid of the troubles of this life", "Bliss in this life, erase the pain of this life", "Bliss in the past life, eliminate karma in this life";

Reward: 100 points of energy from another dimension;

Quest Punishment: Unknown;

Task Tips: 1. The evil spirit cannot be locked; 2. You can't mispronounce the words of the past;

Note: Granny Ren is not mute. 】

Yan Junze looked at it carefully, and felt that this branch task was not difficult, and it could be completed by the way, the only thing was that he had no experience in combing the hair of a dead man.

And Granny Ren doesn't know how long she has been dead, in case it has begun to rot, will the scalp be ripped off in the process of combing her hair.

Just thinking about that scene sends chills down the line.

"Comb it gently, combing your hair is not the goal, just don't make a mistake in your life." Yan Junze muttered to himself.

Turning his head to look around, the light was dim, and he couldn't see where the comb was.

He left the bedroom and returned to the living room, searched everywhere, but he didn't see it in the living room, and ran to the bathroom to rummage through the drawers and the sink.

After a few minutes, there was still not a single comb in sight.

"Doesn't Mother-in-law Ren usually comb her hair? No way, she's not me. ”

Yan Junze muttered to himself and returned to the bedroom, stood beside the bed, and looked at the corpse of Ren's mother-in-law lying on her side on the bed, with only a little hair showing outside the futon.

He remembered very well that when he saw Granny Ren's back just now, her hair was very neatly groomed, and she didn't look like a person who often didn't comb her hair.

"Look for it again."

Yan Junze was looking for it in this bedroom this time, since Granny Ren slept here, it was naturally very likely that he would find the comb.

If you can't find it, you can only go back to your home and find a comb and pick it up again.

But Yan Junze was reluctant to do this, and if he made a noise after returning home, it would be self-defeating to wake up his parents, and all the tasks could not be completed at that time, and the consequences were unimaginable.

The bedside table, desk, wardrobe, and even under the bed, Yan Junze looked through the places that should be found, but he still didn't see the comb.

It's weird!

Glancing at the corpse on the bed, a strange thought suddenly popped up, Yan Junze swallowed his saliva and said to himself: "It won't be like Zhang Tiantian again!" ”

Last time in the mission of [Sharing a Room with Zhang Tiantian], a ballpoint pen was found by the possessed spirit, and it was inserted in Zhang Tiantian's eye socket.

"Is this comb inserted in Granny Ren's corpse again?" Yan Junze was suspicious, "She's dead, get up and find the comb by herself and stick it in herself?" What is this operation? ”

Skepticism is suspicion, but always confirm whether your guess is correct or not.

Yan Junze approached Granny Ren's bed and stretched out his hand to grab the quilt, during which he sniffed hard, but still did not smell any rotten stench.

Could it be that the mother-in-law is allowed to sit and turn into an immortal, and her body is not corrupt?

Anyway, let's find the comb first.

Slowly uncovered the quilt, revealing Granny Ren in a thin cotton coat, curled up with her back to herself. I didn't see any combs stuck in her back, or the back of her head.

"Something is wrong!" Yan Junze stared at Granny Ren's corpse with a suspicious expression.

If Granny Ren died in her sleep, how could she wear all the clothes well, it is impossible for ordinary people to sleep in so many clothes.

With doubts, he walked around the bed and came to the front where Granny Ren was lying on her side.

From this position, you can finally clearly see Granny Ren's face.

This is a sallow face covered with wrinkles, and his eyes are not open, otherwise Yan Junze does not dare to guarantee that he will not be scared to pee. The closed eyes, and the skin between them, seemed to convey some kind of unspeakable pain.

Granny Ren's entire body is bent, her hands are clasped in front of her chest, this posture feels very strange, if a normal person sleeps, he will not pose in such an awkward position.

No combs in sight.

Yan Junze looked at it carefully, but if it was like this, there was indeed no comb on Granny Ren.

At this time, he remembered the note in the task: Granny Ren is not mute.

It's not dumb, but she's already a dead person, can a dead person still speak?

Yan Junze shook his head, was silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but speak: "Mother-in-law Ren, I'm going to comb your hair now, so that you can leave here with peace of mind." Excuse me, where is the comb at home? ”

As the words fell, the room fell silent again, and there was no unusual reaction.

Yan Junze waited, then cleared his throat again, and said, "I want to help you, I don't mean anything else." Comb your hair early, I will be able to inform your family sooner, and you can also meet your grandson Yu Xiaochang as soon as possible. ”

This time, the words just fell.

Granny Ren, who was lying on the bed and her limbs were already stiff, suddenly her face twitched slightly, her mouth slowly opened, and a series of sounds like the door of the perennial disrepair came from her throat.

"Ahhh......h

It's like a mute person who suddenly opens his mouth and wants to make a sound, wants to speak.

Yan Junze's heart was beating faster, but he still held back his fear, and his body leaned over slightly.

He had to hear clearly what Granny Ren was saying.

"This ...... Village. ”

Although her voice was very vague, the voice from Granny Ren's mouth was extremely slow, and she was barely recognized by Yan Junze.

"Here? Where is it? Yan Junze tilted his head, and his eyes fell on the hands of Granny Ren holding her chest.

After saying the two words, Granny Ren no longer made any movements, and her body became stiff again.

Yan Junze hesitated slightly, stretched out his two hands, grabbed the cold hands that Granny Ren was holding, and tried to exert some strength, and broke her arms without much effort.

Immediately, Yan Junze's complexion changed, and he retreated sharply with an "ah", almost falling to the ground.

I saw that on Granny Ren's chest, an old red comb was inserted into the heart, and the handle of the comb was completely invisible, only the teeth of the comb were exposed, the blood was stuck to the comb, and the blood had dried up.

This can't have been plugged in by Granny Ren herself after she died.

She didn't die of natural causes, she died of an accident, or murder!

Yan Junze's heartbeat was even more violent, and he said: "Fortunately, Lao Tzu took the whole film, otherwise he wouldn't be able to wash it by jumping into the Yellow River!" Netizens can see that Mother-in-law Ren has died unnaturally at home a long time ago, and I am just helping her now. ”

As for why a comb was inserted in Ren's mother-in-law's heart, Yan Junze was not a detective, and he didn't have time to pay attention to it now.

What he cares about is to complete the [comb hair] task immediately, and then call the police and notify Ren's mother-in-law's family to come over.
