Chapter 175: Trapped Soul Array
The building of the guest house is very dilapidated, the wooden staircase handrails have lost their paint, and most of the walls on both sides of the staircase have fallen off, and there is a sense of decay everywhere.
When I went up to the third floor, I looked left and right, turned left, and the second room on the left was 304.
The door was unlocked, hanging from the inside, I knocked on the door, and called tentatively, "Yu Ming? ”
"Who?"
A vigilant voice sounded behind the door.
"Team Zhao sent me!" I said.
Squeak!
The door cracked a small crack, and a person hid behind the door, secretly glanced at me, and said, "Master Chen? ”
"It's me!"
I nodded, I was involved in the case a while ago, and many of Zhao Feng's subordinates knew me, at least they were familiar.
"Come on in!" Yu Ming hurriedly opened the door, and looked out vigilantly.
I carried Qiqi into the room, a little strange Yu Ming's reaction, he seemed to be very nervous.
The layout of the room is very simple, a bed and a table, the area is only six or seven square meters, and there is a person squatting by the window with his hands bound by a sheet.
"Master Chen, didn't they come, captain?" Yu Ming closed the door and asked anxiously.
"Didn't come!" I replied.
Before I came, I had already told Zhao Feng that no matter whether they found Yu Ming's soul or not, they were not allowed to come to Hualin Town tonight.
There are too many variables on the road from the city to Hualin Town, and I don't feel at ease when they come in the middle of the night.
However, Yu Ming's state was a little beyond my expectations, and he didn't seem to know his current state.
"Master Chen, I lost my phone, and there is no phone here, do you have a phone with you? If you bring it, quickly call Team Zhao and say that I found a suspect! Yu Ming said in a low voice.
"Is that him?" I asked, gesturing to the guy under the window.
"No, he's a thief, I'm talking about another case!" Yu Ming said as he leaned to the door, put his ear to the door, and listened to the movement outside.
The way he looked confused me and made me confirm that he didn't know his current state at all.
"Another case?" I asked.
"Hmm!"
Yu Ming walked back and said: "I have been staring at that case with Team Zhao for half a year, and when I was about to catch the murderer, the murderer suddenly disappeared, and I saw the murderer here!" ”
"Master Chen, did you bring your mobile phone? Hurry up and call Team Zhao and ask him to bring someone quickly! Yu Ming looked at me anxiously.
"Don't worry!"
I took out my mobile phone and said, "I'll dial, you talk to Brother Zhao about the situation!" ”
Without waiting to dial out, I found that there was no signal on my mobile phone, so I compared it to Ming and said, "There is no signal here!" ”
Yu Ming gritted his teeth and said, "In this way, Master Chen, I'm guarding here, you hurry back and call Team Zhao over!" ”
I didn't move, it was completely unexpected, not at all what I had imagined.
In my prediction, Yu Ming should be in a state of lost soul, that is, he doesn't know anything and doesn't remember anything.
But Yu Ming now knows everything and remembers everything, but he doesn't know that he is out of his body.
This is more difficult to do, his situation can be said to be supported by a belief, once that breath is vented, it is likely to dissipate.
After all, he has been away from the body for three days.
I thought about it for a while and said, "Yu Ming, let's not talk about the case first, can you tell me what happened that night, and why did you stay here for three days?" ”
"What happened that night?" Yu Ming repeated, with a look of confusion in his eyes, and muttered, "How did I forget what happened that night!" ”
I didn't bother him, walked up to the suspect under the window, crouched down and took out the torn sock that was stuck in his mouth, and asked, "Do you remember what happened that night?" ”
"I don't remember, I don't remember!" The suspect's reaction to Yu Ming was similar, and he didn't know what to ask.
I glanced down at Qiqi, Qiqi and I looked at each other, and said, "It's okay, this will indeed happen after the soul has been out of the body for too long, but it doesn't matter, as long as the soul returns to the body and recuperates properly, it will gradually remember what happened today!" ”
"That's good!" I exhaled, stared at Yu Ming for a while, and had an idea.
When we came, we came by bus No. 13, and when we left, we could also take bus No. 13.
There is still half an hour before the departure of the No. 13 bus, and it is too late to go.
As for the so-called murderer in Yu Ming's mouth, in my opinion, there is no urgency, with the current situation of the guest house, it is unlikely that a living person will come to live here, and the murderer is likely to be a dead person.
"What happened?"
Looking at Yu Ming again, he was still muttering, his eyes full of doubts.
To be honest, I am also very confused about how Yu Ming got here.
I think things may not be as simple as I thought, and there must be some secret hidden in this guest house that I don't know.
The experience of this period of time tells me that this incident is likely to be another set set for me by the Chen family's father and son.
Some time ago, the Chen family's father and son made various layouts, turning the dormitory manager aunt of the girls' dormitory of No. 68 Middle School into a green ghost, and flickered to the Beishan Psychiatric Hospital building as a test subject.
Is it possible that this time there is another pit?
The more I thought about it, the more I thought it was possible.
The top ten murderous places in Dongyang City are interrelated.
The legend of the No. 13 bus has been circulating in Dongyang City for a long time, I don't believe that the Chen family father and son will be indifferent, not to mention, I suspect that the fire of the No. 13 bus was set by the Chen family and his son.
Of course, this is all speculation, and it is not yet known how it is.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to the team, what's the matter, go back and think slowly!" I tried my best to make my voice softer, and leaned in front of Yu Ming and whispered.
"Huh?"
Yu Ming looked up at me in a daze, with a sense of confusion in his eyes, and nodded: "Hmm!" ”
Fortunately, as long as Yu Ming is not stupid, everything will be easy.
I grabbed the theft suspect from under the window, stuffed the smelly socks back into his mouth, and carried him out, and when I walked to the door, I said to Ming: "Team Zhao orders you to lead the suspect back to the team!" ”’
"Yes!"
Yu Ming subconsciously stood up and saluted.
I breathed a sigh of relief, and it was a good response.
Opening the door, Yu Ming and I walked out with the suspect left and right.
I felt the same way I did when I came up in the hallway, quiet with a hint of weirdness.
The descent went smoothly, and when I got to the bar, the fat woman was snoring in her cot.
I was worried about an accident, so I put the key on the table and pulled Yu Ming, who was bent on checkout, and walked out.
The moment I pushed open the door, the crisp wind chimes rang, and I held Yu Ming's hand empty, and Yu Ming disappeared in front of my eyes.
"My day!"
I subconsciously burst into a foul language, and it was not only Yu Ming himself who disappeared, but also the suspect.
"Huh?"
At this moment, the fat woman got up from the bar in a daze, rubbed her eyes, and after finding out that it was me, she said vaguely, "Do you want to check out?" ”
"No retreat!"
I shook my head, walked a few steps to the bar, grabbed the key and went upstairs again.
Coming to the door of 304 again, I tried to push the door, but the door hung from the inside and didn't open it.
I knocked on it and asked, "Is Yu Ming here?" ”
"Who?"
A familiar voice came from behind the door, and when I heard this voice, my heart was relieved, and it was Yu Ming behind the door.
"Team Zhao asked me to come!" I said.
Squeak!
The door cracked, Yu Ming hid at the door to look at me, and after finding out that it was me, he was surprised: "Master Chen? ”
Things have come to this point, exactly the same as when I came up.
Qiqi and I looked at each other, and neither of us said anything.
The next plot is completely a repetition of the previous one, and Yu Ming's tone and demeanor are almost exactly the same as before.
I repeated my previous words and took Yu Ming downstairs and went out again.
Walking out of the gate, the moment the crisp sound of the wind chimes sounded, Yu Ming disappeared again.
"Trapped Soul Array!"
Qiqi and I looked at each other and said the same words.
Someone took advantage of the environment of the guest house and set up a formation here.
The so-called Trapped Soul Array is also called the Soul Detention Array.
The function is very simple, it is to trap the Yin Soul in place and not to escape.
In other words, all the ghosts in the guest house cannot leave.
There is only entry and exit here.
This formation is only aimed at the Yin Spirit, not at the people.
The yin soul in the trapped soul array, the yin qi on the body will become heavier and heavier, therefore, the trapped soul array is also called the ghost raising array, I am here, I saw the shadow of the girls' dormitory of the sixty-eighth middle school.
Unlike the girls' dormitory of No. 68 Middle School, the dormitory manager of the girls' dormitory is a ghost, and the dormitory manager here, or the fat woman at the bar, is a person.
When the wind chimes rang, the fat woman got up from the bar again with a chirp, and when she saw that it was me, she muttered, "I won't let people sleep!" ”
"You sleep!"
I waved my hand, at this point, there was no need to experiment, even if it was ten more times, Yu Ming would still disappear.
He has been in the guest house for three days now, and the yin qi on his body is getting heavier and heavier, and if he stays for another two days, he can't go back even if he wants to return to his body.
The Trapped Soul Array, or the Ghost Raising Array, has one advantage, that is, it can raise ghosts, and it can let many ghosts who are nostalgic for the world stay.
There is also a little disadvantage, once you enter the formation, unless the person who set up the formation breaks the contract, you can't leave.
Of course, ghosts who have not signed a contract can move in and leave at will, but they need to pay a certain price.
Yu Ming obviously signed a contract and sold himself without knowing it.
I thought about it, came back to the bar, and tapped, "Wake up, wake up!" ”
"What are you doing!"
The fat woman lifted the quilt and reluctantly got up.
"Yu Ming checked in when you checked in yesterday, right?" I asked.
"Ascend!" The fat woman rubbed her eyes and said vaguely.
"Show me where to register!" I demanded.
"Big brother, what do you want to do?" The fat woman took out the registration book, handed it over and said, "Look at it yourself, don't bother me, okay?" ”
I stared at the fat woman for a long time, there was a pressed mark on her face, her eyes were squinted, half-open, and her face was sleepy.
Looking at her appearance, it doesn't seem like she knows something, of course, it is not ruled out that her acting skills are good.
I withdrew my gaze, put my gaze on the register, and slowly opened it.
On the first page of the registration book, the date shown is two years ago, and a name is Zhao Wei, and the age is written on it, sixty-eight years old.
Continuing to look down, there is no name on the registration book, there is no younger, at least on the first two pages, the youngest one is fifty-nine years old.
The fat woman said that the guest house is full of ghosts, and it is equivalent to the ashes storage place of the funeral home.
Judging from the register, she was right.
The names on the registration book are the same, and you can tell that they are from one person.
I glanced at the fat woman who was already lying down, and the name on it should have been written by her.
Continuing to scroll down, I finally saw a young one, this person's name is Hong Chaoguang, thirty-eight years old.
Unlike other names, there is an extra horizontal bar under the name of Hong Chaoguang.
I made a note of the name and kept flipping through it.
On the next few pages, I found two more names with a horizontal bar underneath, one named Zhao Hong and the other Jiang Chunguang.
The two men were also not very old, one forty-one and the other twenty-nine.
Yu Ming's name is on the last page, and his name, like the previous handwriting, was written by the same person.
To sign a contract, you must sign it yourself, not that it is difficult to sign it yourself.
This is the same as pressing a fingerprint, which is signed by someone else and has no legal effect.
Closing the registration book, I took another look at the fat woman who was sleeping on the small window, and saw that she didn't look like she was pretending.
can sleep so soundly at this time, if it is pretended, then this acting skill is absolutely full marks.
I thought about it and knocked on the bar again.
The fat woman didn't wake up, snoring, and slept soundly.
I walked to the door, struck the wind chimes, and in the crisp sound of ding dong, the fat woman got up from the bed and wailed, "What the hell are you going to do?" ”
"Did you write all the names in the register?" I asked.
"yes!" The fat woman nodded while rubbing her eyes.
"What about Yu Ming? Also you wrote it? I continued.
"Yes!"
The fat woman nodded again and said, "Big brother, what are you going to do?" ”
I didn't speak, just looked at her fixedly.
"Big brother, are you talking?"
After looking at it for a while, the fat woman couldn't support it for a while, and said with a bitter face: "Big brother, you look more scary than a ghost!" ”
I didn't answer, still staring at her.
"Big brother, don't look at me, I've been here for more than two years, and there are more than 100 dead ghosts of all kinds who have moved in through my hands, and I've never been afraid of it once, big brother, I'm afraid of you, whatever you want to ask, I must tell you what I know!" The fat woman was spared.
"Trapped Soul Array, you don't know, do you?" I went straight to the showdown.
If the fat woman is acting with me, there will be no result if you continue to ask like this, so it is better to go straight to the point and ask her directly.
"What Soul Trapping Array?" The fat woman asked, wide-eyed.
I looked at her thoughtfully, and judging by her expression, it seemed like she really didn't know.
At this point, even if the fat woman lied to me, I admit it, her acting skills are too good.
"Who put the wind chimes?" I pointed back at the wind chimes.
"Our director hung it, and he said that hanging a wind chime on the door can attract fortune!" The fat woman replied.
"Director?" I clicked on the bar and looked at her suspiciously.
"Ah, Director Zhang!" The fat woman looked right.
"Director Zhang!"
I repeated, if the fat woman didn't lie, then there is definitely something wrong with Director Zhang.
"Big brother, don't embarrass me, it's not easy for me to make some money!" The fat woman raised her hand and glanced at the time, and said, "Big brother, you see it's the middle of the night, you just let me sleep?" ”
As soon as the voice fell, a ding-dong sound sounded behind me, and someone came in.
I looked back, a little surprised, it was the man in the trench coat who came in, he came to the bar with his head bowed in a trench coat, and asked in a dumb voice, "Is there still a room?" ”
"Why are you here again?" The fat woman said helplessly.
As soon as these words came out, I was interested, she knew this man in a trench coat.
"Do you still have a room?" The man in the trench coat continued.
"Okay, okay, I've served you, you're all uncles!" The fat woman muttered as she took off a key and slapped it on the bar, saying, "Here you go, go to sleep!" ”
"Thank you!"
The man in the trench coat knotted the key, spit out two words lightly, picked up the key and went upstairs.
When the trench coat man disappeared around the corner of the stairs, I said to the fat woman, "Do you know him?" ”
"Acquaintance, a neurotic, often do thirteen roads to come to my hotel!" The fat woman muttered as she wrote down a name in the registration book: Hua Yongliang.
After writing the name, the fat woman put down the pen, and I was just about to ask Director Zhang, when there was a ding-dong sound behind me, and someone entered the door again.
I didn't look back, and I was surprised to find that the fat woman's face was very bad, and there was a touch of horror in her eyes, even so, she still squeezed out a smile and said to the person behind me: "Hello, do you live in the hotel?" ”
I saw a touch of red in the fat woman's eyes, and a cold voice sounded in my ears, "Stop! ”
With the sound, a chill hit, and there was one more person next to me.
With a wet red dress, messy hair, a pale face, and a bare foot, she was the red-clothed female ghost who rode the No. 13 bus with me, why did she come here too?
"What's your name, I'll register!" The fat woman asked with a trilled voice holding the pen.
This makes me admire very much, no matter who the fat woman is, she dares to speak, can speak, and her basic literacy is good.
"Cheng Jing!" The female ghost in red spit out two words lightly.
The fat woman wrote two words crookedly in the registration book, turned around and took a key, handed it over and said, "Your room is at 308!" ”
"Hmm!"
The female ghost in red picked up the key and stared at it for a long time before leaving and walking upstairs.
She walked in a natural way, with her bare foot touching the ground on tiptoe, as if she had shoes on her foot.
"Whew!"
When the female ghost in red disappeared around the corner of the stairs, the fat woman exhaled, patted her chest and said, "Scared me to death, scared me to death!" ”
When I came back to my senses, the fat woman looked at me with a hint of unkindness in her eyes, "Big brother, you are a plague god, right?" Before you came, I was all normal, as soon as you came, I became abnormal, I beg you, you go! ”
