Chapter 7: The Ballad of Horror 6
"Soul Talisman? It seems so powerful, why is each one different? When Jiang Qiao heard that it was this kind of profound magic weapon that he had only seen on TV, he couldn't help but take a closer look.
"I drew it randomly, and there was no uniform template, so it was different." Jiang Li raised his head and replied solemnly, puzzled to find that Jiang Qiao's mouth gradually opened to fit the whole egg.
"Draw it randomly? So why are you painting these? Jiang Qiao was speechless again.
"Senior brother said that he would reimburse the expert's expenses, as if he was talking about what kind of voucher or something." Jiang Li continued to bow his head seriously and draw talismans.
Jiang Qiao felt that he was simply an idiot when he had just come up with the idea of worship.
"Senior brother? You're not talking about Team Liu, right? Jiang Qiao raised his eyebrows and asked uncertainly.
"yes, how do you know?" Jiang Li asked in surprise.
"Hmph, at first glance, he looks like a person who can do such a thing, you are actually senior brothers? Oh, by the way, isn't this case tricky. You just said there would be dead people? Jiang Qiao remembered another important topic.
"Ghosts are different from people, the main reason why they stay in the world is that their obsession is not over, if their wishes are fulfilled, the meaning of ghosts staying in this world will be gone, and they will naturally disappear and go to reincarnation. But I didn't see any signs of this disappearance yesterday, which shows that this ghost still has something to put down. Jiang Li stopped his pen and sat up to explain.
"If the obsession is not over, wouldn't there be a lot of people... Isn't it that a lot of ghosts remain in this world? Thinking that there might be countless ghosts crowded around, watching her sleep, eat, take a bath and go to the toilet every day, Jiang Qiao couldn't help but want to go crazy.
"The power of ordinary obsessions is not enough to support the ghosts to stay in this world, and only the kind of ghosts with very deep attachments can do it. And it's very painful and dangerous for them to stay in the world. Jiang Li paused, and then said: "In fact, they have to endure a feeling like skin pain every day, which is the price. So, it's not easy for you to see a ghost. ”
Jiang Li's explanation finally made Jiang Qiao let go of the big stone in her heart, and now she was finally able to take a bath and go to the toilet with confidence.
"But you just said that the souls of those people in yesterday's murder are gone, what is going on?" Jiang Qiao remembered what he had just said to Team Liu, and asked suspiciously.
"I haven't encountered this situation either, I wanted to find their spirits yesterday and ask who the murderer was, but it turned out that they were all gone."
"Could it be that you are going to be reincarnated?" Jiang Qiao asked after frowning and thinking.
"It's not to be reincarnated, it's gone. I couldn't feel any of them. Jiang Li also encountered this situation for the first time, and for the first time showed a puzzled expression on his face.
Jiang Qiao didn't ask any more questions, because she suddenly found that if Jiang Li talked to her, he would completely stop the pen in his hand, sit upright, and talk to her seriously. At this rate, when will this large pile of symbols be completed?
In Jiang Qiao's excited and frightened anticipation, it finally got dark. After much hesitation, she still decided to follow Jiang to find out. On the way there, she kept comforting herself: It's okay, Jiang Li said that there is no soul left there, don't be afraid, there is nothing.
But when he really got to the abandoned residential building, Jiang Qiao regretted it. Looking up from the downstairs, the building was shrouded in a bleak white moonlight, and the black cavern looked like a monster opening its jaws ready to devour the humans who walked in.
Jiang Qiao obviously overestimated herself, even after a whole day of mental preparation, when she really faced it, her legs were still weak, and her heart was about to jump out of her mouth. Jiang Li looked at her face worriedly, and signaled that if he was afraid, he would wait for him downstairs.
No matter how scared it is at this time, it is too late, Jiang Qiao looked at the dark surroundings where there were no street lights, and thought to himself that it was better to follow Jiang Wei'an, this area has been blocked by the police, ordinary people will not enter this vicinity, if a murderer or some kind of perverted person wanders around here, the danger is no less than encountering a ghost.
"Knock knock."
The hallway was quiet, save for their footsteps. Jiang Qiao's whole body tensed, as if he was sensing the slightest movement in the outside world with every pore.
All the way to peace and quiet, Jiang Qiao tightly grasped the corner of Jiang Li's clothes with one hand, and held a candle with the other, and finally reached the layer of the murder. The flickering candlelight of the candles seemed so insignificant in the corridor of the black hole. The darkness beyond the faint candlelight was even more terrifying.
Jiang Qiao scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, and at the same time recited Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha to be brave.
"The candle is too dark, otherwise we'd better turn on the flashlight, the highlight." Jiang Qiao finally couldn't help but speak, she had had enough of the darkness.
"No, the flashlight is too bright, it will scare them away."
Jiang Li's voice was calmer than when he spoke to her during the day, as if such an environment and such an atmosphere made him more comfortable. He wore sunglasses, and walked in this dark corridor, but his steps were not messy in the slightest, as if he was not affected at all.
"They... Jiang Qiao's voice trembled a little when he spoke, and the hand holding the corner of Jiang Li's clothes tightened.
"It's here!"
Jiang Li's footsteps stopped. Jiang Qiao slowly leaned out from behind him, and by candlelight, he could see that the murder scene had been cleaned up, all the bloodstains, corpses and other things were gone, and even the dust had been swept away. If you don't know about it, you won't be able to tell that such a murder has taken place in this room.
"Let's go inside." Jiang Li's footsteps stopped slightly, and he walked in with Jiang Qiao.
Hey, the bone-chilling feeling is gone, and although it's still a little cooler than outside the building, the temperature in the room seems to be back to normal compared to yesterday.
Jiang Qiao finally remembered where he felt different, the temperature in the corridor returned to normal, so to speak, although he was more scared today, it was more because of psychological reasons, self-conscious fear, and yesterday's sense of oppression and hair for no reason was not the same.
In that case, that awesome thing must be gone.
Jiang Qiao relieved her mind a little, she didn't have time to take a closer look at this place yesterday, she followed Jiang Li into the house, and looked at the wall for the first time, and at a glance, there was still nothing. Jiang Li was going to go inside, Jiang Qiao looked at him, then at the wall, gritted his teeth, but let go of the corner of his clothes, and held a candle alone to observe by the wall.
Except for a few peeling marks of cement peeling off the wall, there is no red word of complaint written on the wall like other walls. Jiang Qiao bent down again, holding a candle and carefully shining on the root of the wall. The dust in the house was roughly swept over, but fortunately this was near the corner, and the people who cleaned it were not so careful, so this small piece of dust was still there.
Jiang Qiao carefully held the candle back and forth, and recalled in his mind the position of the round object in the photo. Sure enough, she found traces of a round object on the ground.
It seems that the round object in the photo is real, and it should have been taken away by the police as evidence before she that day. It wouldn't have been a head, and in that case, there would have been more than just the people who were seated.
So what could it be?
