Chapter 51: The 'Super Immortal' Arrives
"The method of calling the soul of the child includes the method of burning old stamps under the bed, knocking on the 'bed gang' method, calling the soul method at the intersection, knocking on the water tank method, standing chopsticks method, etc., etc., etc., very much, the reason why there are many ways to call the soul of the child, is because the child is not good at communicating, or even unable to communicate, it is difficult to determine why the child is frightened, so there are so many ways. And there are not so many ways to call the soul of adults, the reason is that it is easy to communicate with adults, and adults themselves know what they are afraid of, so they can directly prescribe the right medicine. ”
After reading this passage posted by Brother Chao, I don't wonder why he understands this, because I know that he is already very interested in these god-like things.
And I had a similar experience when I was a child, not with me, of course, but with other children, mostly babies. Speaking of those babies, the state of Chen Haobei is really similar, they also cry non-stop, do not eat milk or sleep, whenever they encounter this situation, some old people will say that the child is 'scared'.
Then there are all kinds of strange cracking methods, but I haven't paid attention to these things like Brother Chao, so I don't know the specific content of those cracking methods.
I just finished reading it, and I was digesting these terms, and Brother Chao sent another message.
"Chen Haobei must be an adult, just operate according to the adult's soul calling method, where he is scared, just go there and call him, just burn the paper to call the soul."
I thought about it and replied to him: It's easy to say, do you think he dares to let him go back there with his mental state?
Brother Chao quickly replied: Are you stupid? When did I say I wanted him to go in person?
I asked: So what do you mean...
Brother Chao replied: It's okay for others to go, such as you.
So this is a pit for me? Alas, in desperation, I was thinking about the so-called 'soul calling' that Brother Chao said.
In my understanding, this is nothing more than a psychological comfort to the frightened person, perhaps a psychological suggestion, so that the frightened person believes that the damage caused by the frightened person has been lifted, but if Chen Haobei himself does not go to the scene and cannot see the scene where I call him soul, wouldn't it be in vain?
Thinking of this, I sent a message to Brother Chao again: Are you sure it will have an effect without him going to the scene himself?
Brother Chao said very simply: Sure, this has nothing to do with whether he goes to the scene or not.
I said a little helplessly: Okay, then you tell me the specific steps, buddy, I'll go thousands of miles and ride alone, and go down to save Brother Hao's lost soul.
Dead horses should be live horse doctors, in case it is really useful, I don't have to accompany Chen Haobei here, in case it is useless... After all, I haven't eaten him less recently, so I should eat people with a short mouth, and he's like this, so it's my heart.
Not long after, Brother Chao sent the steps to call the soul: the first step is to prepare raw materials, including yellow paper, spatula, mineral water and lighters; The second step is to find the place where Chen Haobei had an accident at that time, you can ask him directly; The third step, squat, burn the paper, while burning while chanting 'Chen Haobei, come back', every time you shout, knock on the wall with a spatula, knock on the ground if there is no wall at hand, and repeat until the paper is burned. Remember the third step is the most important, don't call the wrong name, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.
Seeing that Brother Chao said so solemnly at the end, I asked: What are the consequences of calling the wrong name? How serious?
Brother Chao replied: It's quite serious, if you can even call such a simple name wrong, it means that you are mentally retarded, this is not serious?
I thought about it, replied to Brother Chao with a nose-picking expression, and then replied with a middle finger expression, and after thinking about it, I was still not angry, so I sent a scolding expression to the girl.
Brother Chao only replied to me with one expression: a cheap smile.
Exiting the WeChat interface, I was thinking about whether to wake up Chen Haobei now, but I received a WeChat message from Brother Chao: You will go out later, I will go to you.
I replied a little puzzled, "? Brother Chao only replied: I'll talk about it when we meet.
Why is it still mysterious? I told Brother Chao that I was waiting for him at Chen Haobei's house, so I turned on my mobile phone to browse the news to pass the time.
More than half an hour later, there was a very slight knock on the door, and after knocking, I received Brother Chao's WeChat: Open the door.
Thinking that Brother Chao knocked on the door so quietly, he must have been afraid of making a noise to Chen Haobei, so I also went to open the door lightly, opened the door, and when I saw Brother Chao's arm, I asked in a low voice: "The doctor asked you to untie the hanging rope?" ”
Brother Chao Huang is only wearing a plaster cast now, but the arm that is not hanging on his neck also whispered: "No, I think there is nothing to do and I will untie it, and it is convenient to go out, Chen Haonan and his brother are still asleep?" ”
I nodded and let Chao into the house, and like me, he covered his nose as soon as he entered the house.
I closed the door and beckoned him to sit down, and when we both sat down, I asked him, "Why are you here yourself?" What's the matter? Brother Chao replied: "It's nothing, I think of something, and I don't feel at ease if I don't come in person." ”
Probably to get rid of the strange smell in the house, Brother Chao lit a cigarette for himself after saying this, and after taking a puff, he said without waiting for me to ask: "Brother Qian, seriously, have you ever thought about moving?" ”
I was a little surprised and said, "Is there anything wrong with you?" How long have I been living in this area? Why do you keep trying to get me moving? Brother Chao said in a somewhat solemn tone: "Underground garage, look at this, there must be a problem with the basement of your community, there must be a problem below, and there will be no normal way to do it above, don't you think?" ”
I thought of Brother Chao's 'Underground Bagua Array Theory' again, and couldn't help but roll my eyes and say: "You are blind and superstitious all day long, you haven't been to the underground garage, the environment below is that little gloomy, I was thinking about this just now, either there is really a plaster figure underground, or Chen Haobei drank too much and hallucinated." ”
Brother Chao took another puff of cigarette and didn't speak, I changed the topic and asked, "Xiaoxi and Wang Yang are at home?" ”
Brother Chao nodded and replied, "Well, anyway, you live alone and keep more snacks, let's go, buy props, I'll go down with you to call him a soul, do you know the specific location of his accident?" ”
I tried to think about Chen Haobei's previous description, and only recalled what he said about the place, but I really don't know where it was.
After thinking about it, I first asked, "Brother Chao, is this method you said easy to use?" Brother Chao turned his head to look at the upper room, where Chen Haobei's snoring sound was heard.
After turning his head, Brother Chao said, "Let's take one step at a time, anyway, I remember that this method is useful, go." ”
After speaking, Brother Chao stood up, I got up with him and just wanted to go out, but somehow, Chen Haobei's snoring suddenly stopped, and Brother Chao and I also stopped moving, and then I heard Chen Haobei's crying voice: "Mother! Mother! No! And who! Thousand! Thousand! ”
It sounded like Chen Haobei was not very sober, and before I could speak, Brother Chao first agreed: "Hey, it's all here, be good, don't cry." ”
I kicked at Brother Chao and scolded, "Why are you still cheap? Brother Chao couldn't help but laugh and didn't speak, and after making a look, he took the lead and walked towards the back room.
I followed him into the back room, Chen Haobei saw the two of us coming in, and he didn't ask Brother Chao when he came, but just cried and shouted, "You are not allowed to go!" You are not allowed to go! I'm scared! ”
Seeing him so pitiful, Brother Chao didn't talk nonsense, pulled a chair and sat down in front of the bed and talked to Chen Haobei about his theory of 'scaring souls'.
Chen Haobei himself is not in a good mental state, and after drinking so much wine, it seems that he has reached the realm where he believes everything others say. As soon as Brother Chao finished speaking, he leaned on the bed and hit his head on the pillow a few times, as if he was imitating kowtow, and said while bumping: "Then ask the master for help!" Ask the master to call me a soul! ”
Brother Chao was stunned for a moment, then stroked the non-existent beard on his chin with his hand, and said to Chen Haobei in a tone while brushing it: "Don't worry, this great immortal will definitely help you." ”
Chen Haobei raised his head and kept saying "thank you" to Brother Chao, I rolled my eyes speechlessly and said to Brother Chao: "That Zhang Daxian, let's hurry up and buy magic weapons." ”
Brother Chao got up slowly and continued to say in that tone: "Okay, Xiaobei, you wait at home, and wait for Ben Daxian to go with me, a stupid man, to find a magic weapon for you and save your life." Then Brother Chao turned his head to me and said, "Apprentice, let's go down to the earth with the teacher to buy magic weapons." ”
Before I could start scolding, Chen Haobei jumped up from the bed and said, "Master! I'll go with you! Don't leave me alone! ”
As if I was going to kneel down as I spoke, I hurriedly stretched out my hand to stop his movements, Brother Chao was squeezing his eyebrows at me on the side, and I didn't bother to take care of him, so I comforted Brother Chao and said, "Take him along?" I'm not worried about him at home, to be honest. ”
Brother Chao shrugged indifferently, and I asked Chen Haobei: "Brother Hao, we have to go to the underground garage, do you dare to go?" ”
Chen Haobei looked at Brother Chao and then at me, gritted his teeth and said, "I dare with you two by my side!" ”
"Good!"
Brother Chao suddenly startled me with a voice, and then looked at Chen Haobei, and was directly stunned by this voice, but he was stunned for less than five seconds, and the corners of his mouth were crooked and he looked like he was about to cry.
Brother Chao immediately said to Chen Haobei: "This is a small test just now, think about it again, do you want to go down?" ”
Chen Haobei pursed his lips tightly, his eyes were tearful but his eyes nodded firmly. Brother Chao said to me: "Let's go, just take him with you, the effect of the victim's presence at the scene will be doubled." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and walked out, and I pulled Chen Haobei and went out with him.
After going downstairs, we went straight to the supermarket outside the community, Chen Haobei was still very face-saving in front of outsiders, he tried his best to pretend to be strong, and did not cry again.
The few things that Brother Chao said were not rare, including the yellow paper to be burned in the supermarket, and soon we found everything. Chen Haobei seemed to be afraid that the effect was not good enough, so he moved several stacks of yellow paper, and the cashier sister looked at Chen Haobei like this at the checkout, and said sympathetically: "Festival mourning..."
Chen Haobei didn't care, I understood, this eldest sister thought that Chen Haobei's family had a funeral, right?
After leaving the supermarket, I discussed it and decided to get down from the elevator in my unit building, and try to restore Chen Haobei's action route last night.
By the way, I told Brother Chao about meeting Ah San in the underground garage before, but Brother Chao didn't care much about it, in his opinion, Ah San asked me not to enter the underground garage that day, which can only be regarded as a 'kind suggestion', and it is not a ban, we just go to ours.
Before entering the elevator and pressing the button on the negative floor, I deliberately glanced at Chen Haobei. This thing stood between me and Brother Chao, holding each of us with one arm with both hands, and his eyes were staring at the button on the negative floor.
After I asked, I finally gritted my teeth and nodded, and then I pressed it with confidence.
