Chapter 255: The Leap of Prajna (17)
"Later, my father told me that if it was speculated that thousands of people had died in Rong Village, in order to allow these resentful spirits to continue to be reincarnated in the underworld, Rong Village opened a connection point similar to a gate connected to the underworld." Wang Daochang explained.
But why does this gate of hell open every night? And what about those who didn't die? Why do people disappear at night? Jiang Qiao couldn't figure this out.
"My master said that later they deduced that when the government closed the village, the dead and the living were together, and the resentment, death, and anger were mixed together, blurring the boundary between life and death, and the underworld may have accidentally brought everyone into the underworld. But because the yang life of those living people is not over, they should not have entered the underworld, their bodies and vitality make the underworld of that piece chaotic, and the door that should have disappeared a long time ago cannot be closed, so whenever a new living person arrives there, the door of the underworld will open at night, and a new living person will be sucked in. ”
"Yes, that's what my dad said. When he went to the entrance of the village, what he saw was probably the scene of the living people who had been absorbed into hell before, and the underworld was different from the yang world, and the temperature was extremely low, so my father's body was covered with frost. Wang Daochang nodded and added, "Of course, this is all our speculation. No one is sure what's going on. ”
"And then?" Jiang Qiao is more concerned, what happened to the last Praruo.
Wang Daochang sighed: "Later? Later, just when everyone was desperate and thought that they were really going to blow up the mountain and release the water, Pranya came back. No one knows what happened to him for four days and three nights, only that Prajna came back as usual. He told everyone that the matter had been settled and that the gates of Hades would never be opened again. ”
"Solved? How was it solved? Mao Daxin was very curious.
"Oh, who knows. All I know is that when Prajna came out, everyone dared to enter the village again, only to find that there were thousands of corpses lying in the village, all of which were originally alive. Later, the government did not allow anyone to mention this again, and pushed the village to be rebuilt. Even the name has been changed. Wang Dao Chang thought about it for a long time and said, "It seems to... It seems to be called Ping'an Village, to keep it safe, but no one dared to live there at that time. ”
"But, Dao Chief, you've been talking about it for a long time, and it has nothing to do with what we're tracking down now? We're talking about a different case, how did the bodies of those people disappear? Mao Daxin had a bitter face, he took notes on Wang Daochang's words, but no matter how you look at it, it doesn't match the current case.
"Oh, you don't understand, when Praruo went out of the village, he was holding a doll in his hand, the doll was about seven or eight years old, and he was wearing a mask on his face, which was the one you showed me, exactly the same, I was there back then, I hid behind my dad and watched, I don't know if it was my delusion, I remember that the doll's fingers moved." Wang Daochang still talks about the doll, and there are still palpitations.
"I remember very well that when Praruo entered the village, she didn't have this doll in her hands." Wang Daochang's face was solemn.
"What happened to Prajna?" Mao Daxin was excited for a while, and finally knew the whereabouts of Praruo. "Do you know where he is now?"
"Hmph, boy, oh, no, comrade policeman, you still have to arrest him, I said it, if you are not a man, you are either a devil or a god." Wang Daochang glared at Mao Daxin with disdain, suddenly remembered his identity, and hurriedly changed his words, but his disdain was overflowing.
"It's just that you saved people, and then you walked around the underworld and you weren't human? You're too arbitrary, aren't you? Mao Daxin basically didn't believe this statement.
"He can manipulate life and death. Not your own, it's someone else's. Jiang Li suddenly opened his mouth.
I don't know why, his flat tone actually made Mao Daxin and Jiang Qiao sweat at the same time, and a strange feeling crept into the hearts of the two: what Jiang Li said about life and death must not be a simple meaning.
"What do you mean?" Jiang Qiao opened her mouth gently, she suddenly thought of herself, there was less than a year left to live, if there was really someone in this world who could manipulate life and death, then could he also solve the innate curse in her blood.
"I don't know if he has seen through the secret of life and death in the underworld, he can easily let one life and let one die." Jiang Li explained.
"I still don't understand... Mao Daxin shook his head, Jiang Li and Wang Daochang always talked about this Pranya, and they always said that half of them were left and half were left, which made people guess.
"Since Prajna came back from Rong Village, he has been elected as the head of Pranyamen, but it is just a false name, and the environment at that time did not allow them to do anything. Prajna still plays puppets on the streets and alleys every day to make fun of the children. Wang Daochang squinted, recalling the situation at that time, and a trace of fear crossed his eyes.
He hesitated before continuing: "At that time, I didn't know what would happen next, I used to go to see Pranya play puppets, but then I watched it once, I don't know why, I think he played the same puppet show as the original, so the puppet gives me the feeling... How to say it, it looks like a living person is moving. I always think back to the day he took the puppet out of the village, and I always felt like he had brought back a demon from the underworld. Anyway, I'm not going to look at it again. ”
"At that time, the prestige of the Pranya Gate among the people was very high, and the government turned a blind eye to them, and soon after, something happened: many children's children disappeared." Wang Daochang hesitated, but still said: "The strange thing is that they all seem to have left home by themselves, as if someone commanded them. At that time, the law and order was very good, almost every house did not close the house at night, after this incident, as long as there were children, everyone kept the doors and windows tight, but there were still children missing. ”
"Moreover, the family of the missing child did not hear any sound at night, as if they had been given ecstasy, and the next morning, they found that the child was missing." Jiang Li added.
"Damn, and then? Does the government not care about this? As soon as Mao Daxin heard about this kind of big case, he instinctively became indignant.
"The problem is that the children go missing for a day and a night and then come back on their own." Wang Daochang said.
"Huh? Came back on your own? Did you say where you went that day and night? Jiang Qiao inexplicably felt that this story was a little familiar.
Wang Daochang asked for another glass of water and continued to immerse himself in his memories: "No, these children have lost their memory, and when they come back, they are demented, like obedient dolls, they will do whatever they are called, but they will not have any other reactions of their own." Everyone suspected that the child had been sucked away by some evil spirit, so they went to Prajna Gate for help... ”
