Chapter 15: The ghost of letting go of his obsession
"You called me?"
When Chen Hao arrived, the old man reacted, hurriedly stepped back a distance, and then asked cautiously.
Chen Hao was speechless.
Are there any outsiders here?
"Yes, it's you, uncle, you're a ...... Well, do ghosts live here? Chen Hao asked with a smile.
The old man was even more dumbfounded.
You know I'm a ghost and you still ask me? That's too bold, isn't it?
No, he can see me!
The old man reacted again and looked at Chen Hao in surprise: "How can you see me?" Do you have dog eyes? ”
Chen Hao's expression darkened, if it weren't for the fact that the ghost in front of him was an old man, he really wanted to burst into foul language.
What kind of dog eyes, the kind of name that spits out scum and sounds like it has a special meaning, how can it be used to describe yin and yang eyes!
"Uncle, I'm a Taoist priest." Chen Hao solemnly stated his profession and explained the reason why he can communicate.
"Daoist? No, I've seen a lot of Taoist priests over the years, but they can't see me, and they don't seem to know the legendary spells or anything. The old man retorted.
Chen Hao was speechless, don't you want to be so persistent, don't I see you now, do you want me to perform a spell to prove it? I'm going, it seems to be led by the old man, no, I'm here to do the task.
Taking a deep breath, Chen Hao said: "Uncle, there are many kinds of Taoist priests, the ones you see are all fake Taoist priests, mixed rice and food, I am a true Taoist priest, and I have practice, otherwise how can I see you, you are right." Well, that's all I don't say, uncle, you haven't answered my question yet. ”
The old man was stunned, and then smiled: "Well, I am alone, eh, a ghost lives here, and there were some companions in the early years, but they have all disappeared, and now I am the only one left." ”
Speaking of which, the old man was a little sad and seemed to miss the departed companions.
Chen Hao was silent.
Looking at the old man's current state, he knew what the old man meant by disappearing, his soul was scattered, and nothing was left.
Speaking of which, after Chen Hao got the system of helping ghosts for fun, he also pondered for a while, from ancient times to the present, not to mention the whole world, in the land of China, the total population does not know how many billions, but there are more than a billion living people, and so many people have died, this reincarnation ratio is too large, how is the underworld managed?
Look at it now, maybe this reincarnation is not qualified for all ghosts, it is very right that after death, if you can't be reincarnated, you can't transform into a powerful ghost and evil ghost, then you can't live forever, and slowly your soul will fly away, turn into a yin qi, and disappear without a trace.
"Uncle, mourning." Chen Hao didn't know how to answer, so he could only reply formulaically.
The old man smiled: "It's okay, in fact, I have long seen through the old man, people live for a lifetime, grass for an autumn, this is the cycle of heavenly principles, after I can die, I can exist for so long, it is not worth this life, and there are no regrets." ”
Chen Hao hesitated for a moment and asked, "Uncle, as far as I know, after a person dies, unless he has an obsession, he should not remain in the world, is there nothing to pick you up at that time?" ”
The old man thought for a while, and said: "It seems that there were, more than ten years ago, I was a cleaner in Shicheng, one day in the winter of that year, I got up early to clean up the garbage on the street, and I had a heart attack, so early and so cold, and no one saved me, so I died, speaking of which, I also knew that I was not in good health, and I estimated that I would not live long, and I would die, but at that time I also had a little grandson who was in junior high school, and his parents also left early, no one took care of me, after I died, it seemed that something was pulling me, and I was worried about my little grandson, I resisted for a moment, and that feeling never came back again. ”
Chen Hao's eyes lit up: "So, uncle, are you very worried about your little grandson?" I wonder how your little grandson is now? Do you want to see him again? ”
After speaking, Chen Hao looked at the old man expectantly.
The old man smiled: "At first, I was very worried and worried, but then my little grandson met a noble man and was adopted, I watched him pass the college entrance examination to a key university, although I have only seen two or three sides over the years, but he now has a job, a family, and a good life, so I have no worries." ”
Chen Hao was dumbfounded.
I'm going, do you want to be like this, I finally met an obsessive ghost, and I actually put it down by myself, isn't this playing with me.
Chen Hao was unwilling, and asked again and again, but the old man was still indifferent, it seemed that he really let go, and the system of helping ghosts for fun was even more Mao's movement, and Chen Hao was dead.
In any case, unless the ghost system stimulates the task, even if the old man says that he doesn't put it down, he will be in vain.
"By the way, what are you doing here? Did you hear that I was here and came to take me? The old man suddenly asked, his face was a little panicked, Taoist priests accept ghosts, isn't this a normal situation? I used to listen to stories when I was alive, but now it's my turn, even if I let go of my obsessions, he doesn't want to be the one who is accepted.
Chen Hao pouted.
Collecting ghosts? Idle? It's no good, I don't do this kind of thankless work, and besides, I don't know how to collect it.
"Uncle, don't worry, you are a good ghost, and you haven't done anything evil, what am I accepting you for, live here, it's okay, if you encounter problems in the future, you can also go to me, as long as it's not illegal, it's not difficult, I'm willing to help." Chen Hao smiled and conveyed kindness.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Hao continued: "I came, mainly because I heard that there was a corpse division case here, and a woman died here, so let's take a look, after being killed, there is resentment, and after death, it will transform into a demon and a ghost, this is the unstable factor, the uncle has lived here for so long, do you know what the situation is?" ”
The old man said: "I know this, but people are not killed here, they are transported here by others, and then abandoned in the underground waters, and the female ghost has never appeared." ”
Didn't you kill here?
Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, it seemed that the information also suggested that the underground sewer did not seem to be the first murder scene, but someone came to throw the corpse in the middle of the night, but the monitoring of Shicheng had not been deployed in the whole city, and the female corpse could not be identified without a head, and the clues were interrupted, so it became an unsolved case.
But if you don't die here, wouldn't the ghost be here? What is the reason for this?
"By the way, I remember that the person who threw the body opened a small bread, and there were three people, two young people, and a middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man had a big black mole next to his nose, which was obvious." The old man gave some clues.
Chen Hao's eyes lit up.
If the identity of the body can be determined, you can follow the clues to investigate the case, this can be provided to Zhou Gang, and maybe you can also follow the clues to find the first murder scene.
"Yes, this clue is very important, thank you, uncle." Chen Hao hurriedly thanked him.
The old man smiled: "It's okay, just help if you can, those people who dare to kill people and dismember corpses must be extremely vicious people, and such people will be punished by the law." ”
Chen Hao nodded and said, "Don't worry, uncle, I also have some cooperation with the police to ensure that I will not let go of any bad guys." ”
Subsequently, Chen Hao asked about the sound of the underground waterway in the middle of the night, and the old man also gave an answer.
It made Chen Hao feel a little sad, this sound was a strange phenomenon caused by the old man's body when he resisted the invasion of yin qi, his body couldn't bear it, and the yin qi was emitted, combined with the flow of underground waterways.
Speaking of which, the old man began to not give up here, because he had lived here for a long time, and there were a few ghost wives, which was equivalent to his second home. However, in the last six months, the old man knew that it was difficult to resist the evil spirit, so he hid in other places at night, and it had been a long time since that strange sound had appeared in this underground waterway, but the people in the streets had moved away, and they didn't know it.
Hearing this, Chen Hao was keenly aware of the business opportunities here.
