"Judging from your account, something is not quite right. Sir, have you told your family about this? ”

"Say, say, didn't they help me change furniture and do a big cleaning?"

"No, I mean, did you tell your family about your suspicions?"

"This ...... I told my wife, but she couldn't figure it out...... Sons and daughters, they didn't say much. Hey, you little comrades, you rarely believe this, do you? ”

"Hmm. So, do you remember when things first started? When was that? Did you do anything special before that? ”

"Huh? This one...... Think about it...... It's been a few years...... At that time, it was a retirement...... Just retired...... I didn't pay attention either...... Originally, I was not busy commuting to and from work every day, but I always had to go to work, and then I retired, and I didn't adapt to it at first, so I ran outside...... There was a teahouse in the community, and I went there to drink tea and talk to my old neighbors, and then I used to stay at home and watch TV......"

"Why don't you go to the teahouse?"

"Huh? If you don't go, you just don't go. I also forgot. It's good to watch TV, right? Sometimes I watch the news, sometimes I watch the drama......"

"Didn't you notice something wrong before you found the bug?"

"No, it's all normal. I also found those bugs out of the blue. I don't know where it came from. And it can't be cleaned...... This is still evil, right? I didn't crush the ants or kill the bugs...... There are not many insect nests in the community now......"

"If you don't have a clue here, we need to contact your family and ask about the situation. It may not be you who commits the taboo, but your family. ”

"This ...... No way? I'm seeing all those bugs? ”

"It's not for sure."

"Oh...... All right. ”

On July 6, 2002, Duan Xiaojun's eldest son, Duan Zheng, was contacted.

"Hello, Mr. Duan."

"Hmm. You say, you said you saw my dad? My dad got you guys?! ”

"Yes. This is our calling card. ”

"Aoba...... Paranormal ...... You guys, are you kidding? Oh, this, this joke isn't funny......"

"Not a joke. We were also amazed when we saw your father. Generally speaking, someone like your father shouldn't be in our office. He came to the door himself, and the situation was a little more complicated. ”

“……”

"Mr. Duan, can you tell us what happened at your house? What your father entrusted us with was the frequent occurrence of bugs in the area where he lived......"

"Shhhh......h You guys, you mean it really? ”

"Of course, we're serious. Your father is already our client. If it hadn't been for that, we would have been able to deal with him directly. ”

"Disposal, processing? What is it handled? ”

"That's what you understand."

“……”

"Mr. Duan, can you tell me what's going on now?"

“…… I...... I don't know what to say...... I don't know where to start......"

"The clues we got from your father are probably since he retired."

"Hah, yes...... He retired...... He is very strong, and his temper is stinky and hard. After retirement, there is nothing to do, and I feel a little uncomfortable. Several of our brothers and sisters are also middle-aged, so we can't stay with him all the time...... At the beginning, it was my son, and my son's unit had annual leave, so he let him take his grandparents out on a trip, and he didn't go far away, just around for two days. On weekends, several of our children also went to see them. But five days a weekday, we can't be with us all the time. My mom has a soft personality. She retired early, and she and her aunt in the community went grocery shopping, playing cards, watching TV, knitting sweaters, etc., but it was okay. My dad ...... He went to the teahouse a few times. That day, I received a call from my mother. On Monday, I received a call from her. It's just a phone call that has nothing to do. She was a little worried about my dad, saying that he had a quarrel with an old man in the teahouse. When I came home, I was sulking. I wanted to say a few words to my dad and persuade him, but my mom said he was asleep. I said, it's hot, and he hasn't been running outside lately. Don't save money at home, just turn on the air conditioner, blow the air conditioner, and watch TV. My mom said yes and ......"

“…… Are you alright, Mr. Duan? ”

"Hmm...... She said yes vigorously, saying yes. Her tone of voice hadn't changed, it was still the same as before. I called again the next day, and she also said yes, saying that my dad didn't go out today and watched TV at home for a day. She's with her. I asked her to call my dad to answer the phone, and my dad snorted twice and hung up. I didn't take it seriously. His stubbornness came up, and that's it. I...... When I talked to my brother later, I didn't notice anything wrong. On the weekend, my eldest sister went to see the two elders. She later told us that Dad might not be feeling well, lying in bed and ignoring people. The second week, I took a leave of absence on Monday to take my dad to the doctor. When I got home, I was chilling...... The air conditioning was turned on low and the room was stuffy. The curtains are drawn. I felt wrong. I called my mom, but no one answered, and when I called my dad again, I heard a sound in the room. I opened the door and went in. The cool air came out. The air conditioning was turned on in the living room, and the air conditioning was also turned on in the room, and the temperature was even lower. I came in from the outside, and I felt cold. I...... I saw my dad lying on the bed, motionless, facing the wall, with a blanket on top of him...... Whew......"

"Mr. Duan, you can rest for a while."

"No, no...... I...... I could go on and on...... I saw my dad lying there and felt bad. I'm still thinking about his body, and I can't blow the air conditioner like this. I called him, and he snorted twice, as if he hadn't woken up. I went over and shoved him...... I could see that he was stiff and not hot at all...... I...... I was blindfolded and didn't know what was going on. My mom ...... My mom came out of the toilet. I heard the sound of flushing. My mother's face is white and blue. When you laugh, that face is stiff. She also asked me why I came here at this time. I pushed my dad, not knowing what to say. My mom talked to herself, complained about the cold air conditioner, turned up the air conditioner, talked about my dad again, and took a small quilt to cover him. How I look, how wrong. When I grabbed my mom, my mom's hands were cold, and I stared at her carefully...... She ......"

"Is she still alive?"

"Ho-live...... Then...... It's alive ......"
