Chapter 193: Journey to Thailand (8)
() Shen Yu looked at the time, and there was still half an hour before the time they agreed to meet, so Shen Yu began to tell Lin Xia the relevant story.
First of all, in addition to the famous food in Thailand, what attracts more attention is the supernatural horror legends such as Thai evil gods and imps. In Thailand, the most common commemorative item is the amulet plaque.
Ordinary Buddha cards are asked for from the temple hall, and this is called the Good Buddha card. It is similar to the role of the consecration items asked for by domestic temples, and there are also those who directly supply Buddhist cards to local Buddhist halls, seeking a better meaning.
There is also a kind of Buddha card that becomes an evil Buddha card, and this kind of Buddha card is not asked for from the regular temple hall. Instead, it is sought under the evil Buddha, and generally the evil Buddha card is sought, and its purpose and effect are not so bright.
It is rumored that the evil Buddha cards are sealed by some lonely ghosts, and whoever buys the evil Buddha card will be haunted by evil ghosts. Compared with the good Buddha card, the evil Buddha card is more expensive, but there are many people who buy it.
The case that Shen Yu handled at the beginning was related to the evil Buddha card. A Japanese businessman died at his home in Colombia with a Buddhist plaque in his hand.
The Buddha card is carved with a kind of evil Buddha in Thailand, and Shen Yu and the FBI agents at that time also came to Thailand for this purpose. It was confirmed that the deceased had not been to Thailand and that the amulet in his hand had been bought from an antique shop.
There are very few people who do criminal investigation who believe in ghosts and gods. But at that time, two young police officers came into contact with the Buddha plaque out of curiosity, and it is said that one had a car accident the next day, and the other had a high fever.
As a result, the whole case was too weird, and everyone was very jealous of that Buddha card. During this period, Shen Yu did not believe in evil and studied the Buddha card for a night, but nothing happened the next day.
This dispelled the sense of panic that pervaded during the investigation, and finally confirmed that the deceased had been killed by a friend. Because he learned that he had this Buddhist card, he wanted to use the gimmick of the supernatural event to kill him.
The case was over, but Shen Yu didn't tell anyone. In fact, after he came into contact with the Buddha card, strange things did happen, but in order to stabilize the morale of the army, he didn't say it at that time.
"So what the hell is going on? Isn't it scary? ”
Lin Xia listened to it with relish, which made her more excited than listening to those horrors. Shen Yu looked at Lin Xia, who was curious, and continued to speak like a memory.
"That night, after I studied the amulet, I was ready to make dinner. But I can't always find the thing I just put away, and when I don't want to look for it, the thing appears in the same place.
When I was emotionally disturbed and packed up my dinner, when I was eating, I felt that there was wind in the living room, and the doors and windows were closed. I also feel like there's one more person in the living room, and someone is watching me.
When I sleep at night, I feel that my body is very heavy and the air is very thin. The next day I had a fever, but in order not to cause panic, I treated it urgently. ”
Lin Xia listened to what Shen Yu said, and shrunk her neck a little frightened, feeling that there were people looking at her in the living room now.
"Really... Is it so evil? Is there really anything in this world..."
Knock knock!
Before Lin Xia could finish speaking, a knock on the door suddenly sounded, and she was so frightened that she fell into Shen Yu's arms for the first time. Shen Yu hugged her and comforted her for a long time before she calmed down, and she also reacted that someone was knocking on the door.
Shen Yu got up to open the door, but Lin Xia tugged at Shen Yu's sleeve and didn't leave an inch.
Shen Yu looked at Lin Xia with a little tail and couldn't help but let her drag the door open. After opening the door, I saw Li Tong and Du Yichen standing at the door.
Du Yichen looked at Shen Yu and Lin Xia behind him suspiciously, and asked cheaply, "Why did it take so long to open the door?" Isn't it the right time for us? ”
"What are you thinking about? Come on in! ”
Shen Yu let the two into the room, and Du Yichen saw that Lin Xia had been dragging Shen Yu, and teased maliciously: "What's wrong?" Haven't seen kraft candy for a while? Could it be... What the hell? ”
"Shut up!"
Lin Xia was suddenly startled again, and shouted out in a hurry. This made Du Yichen and Li Tong a little surprised, and looked at Shen Yu with a look at each other, not knowing what happened to Lin Xia.
Shen Yu sighed bitterly, so he had to say, "Let's talk while walking!" ”
The four of them left the hotel and headed for the night market. Shen Yu said to Lin Xia as he walked: "There are no ghosts, don't be afraid." ”
"What you've been through..."
"You haven't heard me yet! After the case was over, I gave the amulet to a friend who was studying biology. My friend later told me that the amulet contained a highly toxic substance that was harmful to the human body.
People who have touched the amulet will be poisoned once they enter their mouth and nose if they are not disinfected in time. Mild cases are poisoned and infected with fever, and severe cases will have hallucinations.
The two police officers were not disinfected in time because they came into contact with the Buddha card, and they were diagnosed with respiratory tract infections in the later stage of fever, and they were cured in the hospital for half a month.
Most of the car accidents are also caused by hallucinations. As for me, after studying that amulet for a night, I just had hallucinations and a high fever, which is considered fateful. ”
As soon as Shen Yu explained, Lin Xia's heart slowly relaxed. Then I also understood why Shen Yu didn't let her touch the Buddha card, and put aside the theory of ghosts and gods, many black-hearted traders did not hesitate to use this way to harm people in order to make a piece of wood have 'magical powers'.
Although Li Tong and Du Yichen didn't know what Shen Yu had told her, they heard Shen Yu's explanation and knew that it was better not to watch the Buddha card casually for the sake of safety.
After Lin Xia's fear was lifted, the four of them found a restaurant in the night market and settled dinner. During the meal, Shen Yu showed the promotional card to the three of them.
"Shall we go to this one? It is estimated that there will be anything in the Buddha card ghost boy, but first of all, unless necessary, they will only look at it and not buy it. ”
Human beings are always contradictory, although they are afraid in their hearts, they are always more curious than afraid of the unknown. Lin Xia had just been scared, but he couldn't resist his curiosity and wanted to see it.
In the end, the four of them decided to take a look, sticking to the principle that Shen Yu said, just looking at it and not buying it, it was regarded as a long insight.
At the end of the night market, I saw some vendors putting out all kinds of things similar to ornaments one after another.
Because Shen Yu had been in contact with related cases before, he also had some understanding of these strange goods, so he became Lin Xia's commentator.
"Generally, the thing with the highest appearance rate in Thailand is the Buddha card, in addition to the Buddha card and the ghost boy, which is the little ghost that you see in Thai horror movies.
Dead babies are dried with special potions, sealed with paint or other materials, and sold in Buddhist shrines in the shape of children. ”
Shen Yu pointed to the small Buddha shrine in one of the stalls and said, Lin Xia looked in the direction that Shen Yu pointed to, and saw a black dried corpse that seemed to stretch out its limbs in a delicate Buddhist shrine.
