Chapter 5: Don't Approach the Living (2)
"I'm really crazy, I can't hear a voice, I can't see a person, I don't know how long I've been here."
She said that she didn't know how she encountered this kind of thing, and she didn't encounter any strange people and strange things at that time. She was carrying a mobile phone at the time, but she couldn't get out, even if she got through there, it was a busy sound, she knew that her mobile phone would be out of battery if it continued like this, so she turned off the mobile phone and waited until she was tired to open it to contact the outside, but even so, the phone was still out of battery. She asked me if I knew what despair was like, and I said I didn't, and she didn't even look at me, but went on herself. Maybe she's not talking to me at all, she's just hoping to find someone who will allow her to tell her what she's been going through these days. So I obediently kept my mouth shut.
She said that she was desperate to sit on the stairs that she didn't know which floor, and she was so uncomfortable that she wanted to cry, but at that time she realized that she didn't even seem to have the ability to cry, and she couldn't make a sound of crying, let alone any tears. She began to walk the stairs again without a purpose, step by step, always thinking that the next one would definitely return to the real place, although every experience shattered her hopes again and again.
I looked at her face, "Haven't you slept in a long time?" ”
She turned her head suspiciously, as if she had just reacted to what I said, "No, I haven't slept before, I will be sleepy at first, but I told myself that I can't sleep, and then I have been holding on, and then I didn't even feel sleepy, maybe the sense of survival is too strong, stronger than the consciousness of sleeping." ”
I nodded, only then did I notice that she was holding a mobile phone in her hand, and she noticed my gaze and said with some excitement that this mobile phone was picked up, "I know that there is no endless way." She made a phone call to her mother at that time and actually got through, as soon as the mother's voice on the other end rang, she seemed to have returned home safely, she told her mother that she was trapped in the dormitory corridor, let her mother come to save her, the mother on the other end did not speak just a strong cry, with a crying voice After saying that your mother must save you, the mobile phone entered a busy sound again, and it could no longer be called. But she had great hope again. It didn't take long for her mother's voice to ring in her ears, and her mother was calling her name, and she followed the sound and walked and walked into me.
Her tone told me that she was really happy to see people again, and that I wasn't so happy the opposite.
I looked at her and thought she was quite pathetic. At this time, I looked at the darkness behind her, and it seemed to gradually take on a human shadow, and by the time I wanted to take a closer look, the shadow began to move towards us. I felt bad, I took her hand and started running down, she asked me what was wrong, I didn't reply to her, asked her if she could still hear her mother's voice, she said now I heard it again, I said okay, let her go ahead, let her follow the voice. From time to time, I looked back behind me, and the dark shadow was always behind us. The darkness around it faded as it moved, and the dark shadow became more human, as if the darkness had shaped it. It was getting faster and faster without me even noticing, and it was even a step away from us in one of my turns. I had to urge her to hurry up, but she suddenly stopped, I subconsciously turned around, and the black shadow of the human figure stopped in front of me, and I felt the air spray on my face, and she also turned around and asked me what was wrong, and I said, "Don't you see?" She was even more confused, "What? I stared at the shadow, and it melted back into the darkness, dissipating many times faster than it could tear into a human form. I only blinked and it was gone, and that's when I looked back, and although I already knew what she was, I always felt sorry for her when I saw her like this.
Her face was rotten and only a little flesh was attached to the skin, her hair was still the same, just dry, and her fingers were already bubbling with black death. She didn't seem to notice the change in herself, she took my hand and never let go, she said that her mother's voice was gone, and her voice was not as light as it had been at the beginning, but gradually lost its voice as if it was about to be taken away, and it was not a mouth but a completely exposed tooth. I knew we were leaving here when I saw her change. Sure enough, after going down the floor I saw the door, and she had her head down, and I knew that she had discovered the fact that she was already dead. She let go of her grip on me and walked towards the door, her figure disappeared, I looked out of the door, I really had seen a ghost, nothing strange, I saw myself standing outside the door.
I didn't know what to do for a while, but my eyes looked at the old man who was standing next to me, and he happened to see me in the door, nodded at me, and I walked out the door. But before I could move, a drop of cold water fell on my head, I looked up, and this time I could see a human-like thing clinging to the top of the gate, and it was tilting its head towards me, and the long hair on its head began to grow wildly, which also made me see that its face only had two black holes. I was so lucky today, watching its hair reach up my neck, watching it slowly crawl towards me, and I couldn't do anything, not even blink my eyes. I'm done, I haven't done anything, am I going to say goodbye to the world today?
Looking at its crawling posture, I felt familiar, and when its black hole face was pressed against me, I suddenly remembered that it was the one I met in the bath, and it was really narrow.
"Girl, close your eyes." I heard the old man shouting, and quickly closed my eyes, I was able to move again, and I heard the voices of the old man and a group of people, I had a headache, the restraint on my neck disappeared, and its screaming roar sounded in my ears, and then I collapsed and fell to the ground. Just let me sleep for a while.
I just wanted to close my eyes when I felt like I was being slapped in the face. When I woke up, I found myself standing in front of the dormitory door, as if I had never been in before. The old man was still standing next to me.
"Grandpa, am I gone?"
"Ha, ha, guess what! I don't know if you've ever encountered that thing, that thing eats souls, you must have been targeted the first time you encountered it, and it was a model worker in the industry who would definitely look for you, but fortunately I met me" The old man is very proud of course and very arrogant, I think so, "Sensing that it was inside, we made a fake to lure it outside, and it detected something wrong and hid by the door, and we didn't even find it, what a failure." "I thanked the old man, and he asked me to call him Master Qu.
I saw that Master Qu was dressed as a Taoist priest, and I knew what they did. He liked to talk very much, saying that he had come here today to summon spirits. I should know who the soul he wants to recruit is, she I met in the hallway. As for why I also walked on the road to the world of no return, Master Qu said that he also wondered. I was more curious about the conjuring spirit, and although I had already figured out a rough idea in my heart, I still wanted to verify it, so I followed Master Qu to meet his patron for this incident. It was a haggard woman, and as soon as she saw Master Qu, she immediately got up, and her eyes were unconsciously energetic, and she could see that she was very excited and anxious. Master Qu was serious, and didn't say a word, just handed her a navy blue silk bag. It smelled faintly scented, and if I was not mistaken, it should contain the black incense ash that had been burned out, the three that were lit in front of the dormitory door.
The man thanked him repeatedly, but Master Qu still didn't say anything and left with me, leaving only Brother Ma who called him master there. As soon as I came out, I couldn't wait to ask about it, and through Master Qu's words, I confirmed my thoughts.
Do you remember the senior sister I mentioned earlier who stepped on the wrong path of yin and yang? The one I ran into in the hallway was her. Her surname was Yang before her death.
Master Qu told me about this matter roughly, the location of our dormitory is very yin, not the meaning of fierceness, but the fact that this location is at the intersection of the deceased entering the underworld, bringing together a lot of yin and cold qi, and there are often dead spirits who cannot be reincarnated looking for a substitute in such a place. But our dormitory is located at a different intersection than the usual cold intersection, because the dormitory is too popular for such a dead spirit to stay for long. And the day of Senior Sister Yang's accident was the Midyear Festival, a day specially used to worship the underworld, the ghost door was closed, and the yin energy at the intersection of yin and cold overshadowed the yang energy of people and made Senior Sister Yang step on the wrong road. Only one night later, Senior Sister Yang's corpse was found as if she had been drained. Master Qu said that Senior Sister Yang was not really sucked dry of her essence, but that her soul had been separated from her body, and her body was shriveled and shrunk in this cold and wet place. Since then, Sister Yang's mother has always dreamed from time to time that her daughter can't find a way out in the dark corridor, and just a month ago, Yang's mother went to the suburbs of Pudu Mountain to interpret the dream when she met Master Qu, he taught Yang's mother to burn a paper phone, when burning must read her daughter's name and birthday, Yang's mother will be suspicious of burning the letter after the night actually received a call from her daughter, she was shocked and scared, but after all, it was her daughter who was more sad and sad. The next day, Mother Yang found Master Qu, and Master Qu said that her daughter's three souls were trapped on that road, neither Yin nor Yang nor Heaven and Earth, and the only way was to bring back the soul of Senior Sister Yang. The summoned soul will be resided in the ashes until it is buried, and then it can finally be reincarnated and rested.
There are always places in this yang world that are not suitable for the living, those places are hidden behind the light, we can't find them, and they always appear when they should appear. But warned, don't go near the living.
