Chapter 11: Under the Island of Infant Corpses
The place we came to was called Infant Corpse Island, not what I had imagined, it was now an empty house that had not been built.
Ji Ran's father said: "When the factory was built in this area, the construction workers heard the cry of a baby every night, and everyone was a little taboo, so it was never completed. I've been idle here for a long time, and I haven't found anything abnormal, so it's just that several workers who have recently died have committed suicide here. This place has been sealed off by someone I arranged. ”
"Let's go in first and see, you send people to guard the outside, and don't let anyone in." Ji Ran's father nodded.
"You must be careful, Ji Ran, you take care of Miss Yang, and if you find something wrong, come out and find someone to help, don't be reckless." Ji Ran's mother told us with some worry.
Ji Ran and I went into the factory, it was not built, there was no electricity, it was getting late, and it was very dark inside. I took out the wrapped compass, which was shining with dazzling light at the moment, which showed that the evil qi in it was really strong. The light lit up the factory, and the empty space was particularly permeating, and I looked around, and even the blood stains could be seen on the ground.
"It was left by the workers who died in it before, and in this month, they killed seven workers in a row, all of them men, who cut their wrists with sharp weapons and bled to death." When I heard this, I retreated with some fear, and I didn't dare to move on.
Ji Ran actually pushed me from behind: "What are you afraid of, aren't you still me, don't you rest assured that I will definitely run faster than you if there is something." ”
I gave Ji Ran an elbow: "At this time, you still have the heart to joke, it's really boring."
"Who is kidding, I'm serious, that's why I let you take the lead."
"Don't worry, you can't run, don't forget that all the men who died here before were men."
"Why are you so serious, it's humorous at all, I don't see that you are nervous and want to ease your emotions."
I didn't bother to take care of Ji Ran holding the compass, and with the strength of the compass light, I wanted to find the place where the evil qi appeared.
We cautiously looked around slowly, step by step, when suddenly the compass flickered, and the light cast on the wall to reflect a figure, to be exact, only a black shadow and no one.
"I'm afraid this is the resentful soul that gathers evil spirits." Ji Ran said.
"Ji Ran, isn't this the island of baby corpses, why do I see that the figure of this resentful soul looks like a pregnant woman."
Ji Ran picked up the compass from my hand, he held it in his hand, muttering something in his mouth, the compass could reflect the shadow of the resentful soul and refract the picture. In the picture, there is a young woman with a despondent expression, seeing that the figure is indeed a pregnant woman, the woman is sitting on the ground, cutting her wrist with a knife, bleeding to death, the scene is very bloody.
Ji Ran said: "This should be the resentful soul that attracted the accumulation of evil spirits. ”
"Didn't you say that all the people who killed themselves were men? How could there be a pregnant woman. In this way, it seems that this accumulation of evil qi has little to do with Baby Corpse Island. ”
Ji Ran's expression was a little solemn: "This woman should have died a few months ago." This reason has been ignored because of the recent suicides of male workers. ”
"So, could it be that this woman should be the first person to kill herself, do you know about her?"
"I know, because I also looked at the workers' files in the factory before I came."
I looked at Ji Ran with some surprise, a person who usually hangs his son, but I didn't expect to be a serious person.
"The factory was built in such a remote place, on the one hand, because the land is cheap, and on the other hand, because the economy here is relatively underdeveloped, and the wages of workers are much cheaper than in the city, but for the villagers here, it is quite profitable, so it attracts many young people from nearby villages to work here. In fact, the factory has not been in production for a long time, but there has been a very bad incident, which is related to this female worker.
Last year, three young men in the factory drunkenly raped a female worker who was off the night shift. The female worker is a factory flower, very quiet, and many young men in this factory like her. The three youths were presumably drunk and had bad intentions and conspired to follow the female worker and rape her.
This incident was not small, and the female worker's family came to the factory to make a big fuss. The thinking here is also very feudal, and for that female worker, it can be regarded as ruined for the rest of her life.
The female worker insisted on calling the police, but the female worker's family was actually very difficult, and there was an older brother who had a leg disease and lost his labor. The family of the three young men advocated for privacy, and the family of the female worker agreed, and everyone did not want to make a big fuss, and finally the factory also came forward with the three families to lose part of the money to the female worker's family.
The female worker could not work here, but the three young men were considered strong men, and they continued to stay if they did a good job. Originally, the matter was settled, but who would have thought that the female worker later found out that she was pregnant, and her belly grew bigger day by day, and her family became more and more ashamed of her and kicked her out. She had no choice but to go to the factory to find the three workers, who said that they couldn't tell whose seed they were in their stomachs, and not only did they not want to be responsible, but they also took the opportunity to humiliate her with the other workers. Later, it was discovered that the female worker had killed herself here. ”
After hearing this, I felt very uncomfortable, and said to Ji Ran, "Then she is really quite pitiful, she has been hurt, not only has no one sympathize with her and is helped, but she also suffers such treatment, these people are really too much." ”
Ji Ran was silent for a while and said: "If you think about it carefully, this is the island of infant corpses, most of them are children under the age of one who have died young, and they must have accumulated some resentment over the years, the woman's original death was pitiful and complaining, she was pregnant and bled to death, so I guess she should be the trigger, leading to the resentment of these deceased children, and the accumulation of resentment and resentment attracts evil spirits." I thought about it for a while, and among the dead people seemed to be the three workers who raped her in the first place, and the rest of the people seemed to have something to do with the person concerned. ”
"So what do we do now?" I asked Ji Ran.
Ji Ran didn't answer me, just took the compass, and he didn't know what to say in his mouth, the compass actually floated in mid-air, and the beam of light emitted by the compass expanded like a sucker to suck in the breath.
I stood aside and looked at the shining compass, at that moment I suddenly realized that this compass may really be returned to the Ji family, to be precise, it should be returned to Ji Ran, it belongs to Ji Ran, it is really a pity in my hands, even if I know that this compass is very precious, but I just know that this compass can show evil energy, and the power of the compass in Ji Ran's hand at this moment is completely unimaginable to me.
"What are you thinking, stand behind me, this evil aura is a little scattered, don't hurt you." I stood behind Ji Ran: "I didn't expect it to be quite easy to solve this matter, after a while, this compass will absorb all the evil qi, will we be able to leave." ”
"I hope so." It was only the next second that I realized that we had made things simple. The compass continued to inhale the evil qi, and when the evil qi accumulated by the resentful soul was about to dissipate, there was a sudden backlash of the evil qi.
More evil qi floated out of the ground, and it continued to gather on the woman's formed resentful spirit, and its power became stronger.
"Not good" Ji Ran bit his finger and blood dripped on the compass to strengthen the power of the compass, but it was far from more evil qi floating out of the ground.
Seeing this, I bit my finger and sprinkled the blood into the air with the accumulated aura. Ji Ran looked at me with some concern.
"It's okay, don't worry, it doesn't matter if you have this bit of blood, otherwise you won't be able to stand it." I comforted him. It's just that the blood I sprinkled into the air can eliminate some of it, but more and more are emerging from the ground, and the resentful soul is also increasing, Ji Ran and I saw that the shape of the unjust soul is constantly changing, and the belly is getting bigger and bigger.
Ji Ran said to me with a serious expression, "We may have guessed the wrong direction completely, what really attracts the evil qi is the unborn child in the pregnant woman's womb." It was yet another innocent child who inspired the lonely soul of the child buried in the ground on the island of infant corpses. After Ji Ran finished speaking, a ghost child crawled out of the belly of the resentful soul in the shape of a pregnant woman.
The child crawled towards us with a hideous face, and those resentful spirits followed the child and spread towards us, forcing me and Ji Ran to keep retreating. We were disturbed by the cries of many children all around.
I seemed to be hallucinating, seeing many images of poor children who had died.
I screamed loudly, and I heard Ji Ran say to me loudly: "Don't be frightened by the illusion, cheer up, it's dangerous here, don't be eroded by the evil qi, leave quickly." ”
I came back to my senses a little and saw that the two resentful spirits, one big and one small, were getting closer and closer to us, and Ji Ran could obviously only deal with one, and he was holding the compass and facing the ghost baby. And Ji Ran and I have almost retreated to the point where there is no way out. I sprinkled my blood on the pregnant woman's ghost, but as soon as my blood fell on it, the evil aura that surged from below was reformed when the soul was gone.
"Don't waste time, you go first, you can go one by one." Ji Ran urged me again, "I won't leave, I'll find a way with you here." I said firmly.
Ji Ran looked at me and didn't speak, when the ghost baby suddenly pounced on me, and I realized that the target of this ghost baby was actually me, and it wanted to borrow my body.
My mind went blank for a moment, and I thought to myself that I was done now. At this moment, a dagger was plunged into the ghost baby, and the ghost baby was frozen in place.
I turned around and saw Zhou Xuran running towards us. I can't imagine what I would have been doing if it hadn't been for his timely appearance.
Before I could say thank you, I followed him and dripped blood on the dagger. The ghost baby's resentment disappeared little by little, and the dark shadow of the pregnant woman was also struggling in pain.
"They were originally in a symbiotic relationship, leave it to me here, Ji Ran and Yinglin hurried over there, which is where the resentful spirits first gathered, and used the compass to purify the evil qi there. Prevents the evil spirit from reuniting. ”
Ji Ran and I went back to the original place, Ji Ran and I sprinkled blood on the compass, the light continued to devour the evil qi floating out, and finally the compass sucked away the last evil qi and returned to Ji Ran's hands, we saw the ghost baby lying on the ground scattered into ashes and disappeared. The compass light is gone, and it is back to normal.
