The reason why I changed the puppet to the lower cabinet was because I was afraid that this kind of magic would also require a high or low position.

When I returned to bed, Meng Xiang explained: "If you want to have nightmares or something, tell me quickly!" But it's also strange, Sister Juan once asked me for help when she had a nightmare, why did you have a nightmare just now, and I was right in front of you, but I didn't feel anything? ”

"Maybe my symptoms aren't that severe!" I said, I really think so.

At the same time, I am determined not only to find out the truth as soon as possible, but also to find a way to destroy this evil art.

Otherwise, these people will harm people without a trace, and kill people, but the law will do nothing about them.

In the time that followed, I had a hard time falling asleep at first because I was pretending to be in trouble, but after falling asleep, I slept very soundly.

It wasn't until the next day that Meng Xiang woke up first and called me after washing, and I didn't wake up.

"Looks like you slept soundly afterwards!" Meng Xiang said.

"yes!" I nodded, not feeling the slightest sign of tiredness and weakness, "It seems that the farthest distance that thing can harm people is not more than five meters!" ”

"Maybe it's because of the wall, the effect is reduced?" Meng Xiang reminded.

I thought about it and shook my head.

"This isn't some radiation, it's a kind of magic, and I don't think the walls will work on it!"

"Not necessarily!" Meng Xiang pursed his lips, "Although it is not a radiant product, why does this evil art damage people's bodies?" Could it be that this kind of magic is caused by the formation of some kind of invisible magnetic field or undetectable radiation? ”

When I think about it, what she said is not unreasonable.

After all, it is certain that evil arts like the grass man can harm people, and with the current technology, it is not possible to detect the root cause of evil magic harming people, so all possibilities cannot be ruled out.

So I nodded in agreement with her reasoning.

Meng Xiang smiled at me smugly and asked me again, "Where did you hide that thing?" What do we do now? ”

I went into the bathroom and took out the puppet with my name, birthday, and height written on it.

Meng Xiang was a little worried, and said: "You already had a nightmare last night, which means that the evil art has begun to take effect, if we destroy this thing directly, maybe it will be self-defeating like saving Sister Juan last time!" ”

"You don't have to worry so much!" I laughed, "I put this thing in the bathroom last night, and it didn't work, so let's just throw it in the trash can downstairs, and then it will be fine?" ”

"It's not necessarily all right, is it?" Meng Xiang retorted, "In my opinion, if this thing is placed far away, it doesn't necessarily have no effect, but the effect is not so significant!" That's the same as chronic poisoning and acute poisoning, if you throw this thing far away now, you may not feel anything in the short term, and it may still be harmful to your body in the long run! ”

Her worries were not unfounded, so I smiled and said, "Then don't worry, anyway, the effect is not obvious now, I just pull out the needle!" ”

"Pull the needle out, if you suddenly ...... How's it going? Don't scare me! Meng Xiang immediately objected.

"Don't forget that Gao Lingkai is here, he spent time in that divine cave like me, presumably what I can do, he can also do. So if there's something wrong with me, let him save me quickly. I said.

Meng Xiang was still a little worried, but there was no better way than what I said, so she had to ask me to call Gao Lingkai quickly.

Soon Gao Lingkai came over, took the straw man in my hand and looked at it, Gao Lingkai was also surprised at first, and then cursed the straw man for being too insidious and vicious.

After that, I explained the method taught to me by Daoist Huaqing in detail to Gao Lingkai. Only then did he hold the puppet in one hand and pull out the steel needle on the top of the puppet's head with the other.

I clearly felt my heart pounding, as if I couldn't breathe up, causing my heart to suddenly become ischemia.

My face must have been a little unsightly, so frightened that Meng Xiang immediately reached out to support me, and asked me anxiously, "How is it?" ”

I shook my head to indicate that it was okay, and pulled out all eight stitches on the front and back of the puppet.

Every time I pulled one, I felt my heart pound. After pulling out the eight roots, I felt cold sweat oozing all over my body.

But after all, this evil spell has only just taken effect, so after I was quiet for a while and took a few deep breaths, I felt refreshed and no longer felt anything unusual.

But Meng Xiang was still not at ease, so he still let Gao Lingkai bite the middle finger of his right hand, and used the blood from his fingertips to dye the top of the puppet's head, as well as the front and back of the puppet red, and then asked Gao Lingkai to stand up, slapped me on the top of the head, and shouted three times: "Gao Li!" ”

I felt a little funny myself, but when I saw Meng Xiang solemnly, I didn't dare to laugh out loud.

When Gao Lingkai withdrew his hand from the top of my head, Meng Xiang carefully checked my face, probably seeing that my face was as usual, he was completely relieved.

After that, the three of us had breakfast together, Gao Lingkai was still playing casually in Yunlang, and Meng Xiang and I rushed to the central hospital.

We asked the front desk nurse to help check if there were any cases that could not determine the cause in recent days, the nurse was not easy to check, and then Meng Xiang showed her police ID, she changed her attitude and carefully helped us find out.

As a result, there have been five unconfirmed cases like this in recent days, including a female patient, Chinese New Year's Eve, who has been hospitalized since yesterday.

I immediately decided that this woman was the person I was looking for.

We immediately went to the ward where the female patient was, and first went to the attending doctor to inquire about her condition.

The attending doctor looked at Meng Xiang's police card, and then said: "This patient is very strange, saying that he has nightmares every day, and he is weak and languishing!" But according to the results of the current examination, except for a little anemia, there is nothing wrong with other physiological functions, so it can only be diagnosed by observation for a few more days! ”

The doctor's words gave me more confidence.

So we went to the ward of the female patient and met with the female patient.

The female patient's name was Yang Min, and she was cared for by a woman in her fifties and sixties.

Later, I learned that the woman was Yang Min's mother, who originally lived in the countryside, because Yang Min was sick and Yang Min's husband was busy with work, so he took Yang Min's mother over to take care of her.

Xu has been sick for a long time, and Yang Min still can't see that he is very weak, but his face is pale and his spirit is not good.

When we walked in, Yang Min was sitting on the hospital bed on an intravenous drip, and Yang's mother was sitting on the side talking to her.

Meng Xiang revealed his identity as a police officer, which surprised Yang Min and her mother.

"Why did the police find the hospital, did something happen to my husband?" Yang Min asked.

She was obviously lacking in qi when she spoke, which was naturally the cause of her illness.

"No, no, no, it's not!" I opened my mouth to deny it, naturally it was impossible to tell the truth, "We are investigating a case, but it has nothing to do with your husband!" This case involved a patient, and the patient's symptoms were exactly the same as Miss Yang's! ”

Yang Min glanced at her mother, and even more confused, and asked, "I didn't understand what the police meant!" ”

"Miss Yang, don't you feel a little strange about your own illness?" I asked rhetorically.

Before Yang Min could answer, Yang's mother grabbed the interface.

"It's weird! She was in good health, and she rarely dreamed since she was a child! But I don't know what's going on in the past few days, and suddenly I'm tired, and it's only been a few days, and I can't even walk. And every night I have nightmares, and I will scream in my dreams, I look very scary, and I said that I want to go to the temple to ask the masters, but she won't let me! ”

"Mom, in front of the police, don't mention what the temple is or not!" Yang Min said.

Mother Yang shook her head helplessly, glanced at us more, and didn't say anything more.

"Since you also think it is strange, then I will tell you the truth!" I said the lie I had made up before, "We suspect that Miss Yang's disease is a very strange poison!" Miss Yang has been in contact with any strange things recently. ”

"Strange poison? What's so weird about poison? I haven't been exposed to anything weird! Yang Min said, the confusion on his face turned into surprise.

"Well, if Miss Yang doesn't mind, how about we check around Miss Yang's bed?" I asked.

Yang Min nodded and said, "If you want to check, check it!" If I really planted something...... It's a strange poison, so I'm going to ask you to investigate it as soon as possible! ”

Mother Yang hurriedly asked us how to check.

Meng Xiang didn't need me to say, he had already rummaged through Yang Min's hospital bed, and then looked for the bedside tables on both sides, and even searched carefully on the adjacent hospital beds, but he couldn't find anything.

"Why don't you go and look for it at home! We Xiaomin have been sick for several days, and if there is anything bad, it should be at home, not in the hospital! Mother Yang said.

In fact, the place I really want to search is Yang Min's house.

It's just that from the moment we met, I could see that Yang Min was a very thoughtful person, and if I directly proposed to go to her house to have a look, I was afraid that she would be suspicious.

Now that Mother Yang took the initiative to bring it up, I was secretly happy in my heart, but I didn't nod immediately, but asked Yang Min's opinion first.

"What does Miss Yang think?"

"I don't think there's anything bad going to be in the house, if...... I really got poisoned, and it couldn't be at home, right? Yang Min said.

"As far as we know, this poison is a chronic poison, and the process of poisoning is relatively slow, if Miss Yang is really poisoned, then the source of the poisoning is indeed more likely to be in Miss Yang's house!" I say.
