Chapter 6: Smoke

Under normal circumstances, Brother Jiu uses the sofa as a bed, Zhang Yu almost never sees Brother Jiu go back to his room, but this villa is still very large, and there are quite a lot of rooms, but Zhang Yu has always been tolerant of other people's quirks.

It's just a simple negotiation with Brother Jiu, in fact, it's not that difficult, Zhang Yu also thought so at the beginning, but things will never go according to plan, this is the reality.

Brother Jiu did stay quietly in the place where he was before, watching TV and drinking wine, but Zhang Yu didn't know how to speak after entering the door and going down left.

"If there's something, let's talk about it." Zhang Yu hoped that Brother Jiu could see his embarrassment and say it in advance, but Brother Jiu's eyes were a little confused this time, Zhang Yu counted the wine bottles, there were two empty bottles on the table, if it was an ordinary person, this would definitely lie down, although Brother Jiu was lying on the sofa, but at least he was conscious.

The atmosphere was a little dull, for a while, the loudest sound in the whole room was the sound of the TV, and the time passed slowly, and the two of them seemed to be enjoying the calm, until, a phone ringing woke Zhang Yu up.

"How's it going? Is it solved? What did he say? There is no doubt that the voice of the phone is Cao Legou's, Cao Legou is anxiously waiting for the result, but now there is no result.

Zhang Yu followed the phone, his eyes swept over Brother Jiu, but he found that Brother Jiu was also looking at him, being watched, especially by a confused guy like Brother Jiu, Zhang Yu felt that his adrenal hormones were secreting, and he couldn't help but start swallowing saliva in his mouth, but his expression was quite calm.

"Nothing, wait, it's being resolved." Zhang Yu replied calmly, but his voice trembled a little. hurriedly pressed the hang up button, and before Zhang Yu could wipe the cold sweat on his head, the phone had already been picked up by Brother Jiu.

"Cao Legou? Boss Xue? It's rare that this guy has a heart and has found your head, but this matter is a bit troublesome, and he probably can't do it alone. Brother Jiu glanced at the phone and put the phone back into Zhang Yu's hand.

"Tell me, that guy promised you something." Brother Jiu returned to his previous posture, this time Zhang Yu could see clearly, although the appearance of lying down like this is not good-looking, it is the most effort-saving, although Brother Jiu did not show anything, but his eyes were full of tiredness.

A person who is bored and idle at home all day can be tired, Zhang Yu didn't believe it very much, he could only think that he might have seen it wrong.

"Didn't promise anything, you see, he's a big boss, and I'm a poor ghost, what else will there be besides money." The matter was revealed, and Zhang Yu became calm, if it was true about combat effectiveness, Zhang Yu was relatively confident in himself, if he didn't count those things that science couldn't explain.

"But do you know what's going on here?"

Brother Jiu lazily held the wine, but did not pour it, the program on TV did not mean anything, it was a documentary, but Brother Jiu's eyes were staring at it.

"Didn't you make it all here? Since that's the case, then you can solve it, money is not a problem, this is what Boss Cao said. "Zhang Yu really doesn't know what's going on, and there's no big problem with living here, except it's a little cold.

Thinking of this, Zhang Yu shuddered again, he really had nowhere to go, in the final analysis, this matter had nothing to do with him, and he was not even too familiar with Brother Jiu, but he had met a few times, and he knew that he was a month ago, but he didn't even have a place to live.

People can't be greedy, once greed then all the problems follow, there may be ghosts in this house, Zhang Yu knows, but he can live in it, there may be a little doubt at first, but after experiencing the last incident, such suspicions began to worsen. A person's hallucinations are possible, hypnosis will do, but what about a large number of people?

Zhang Yu already regretted his Meng Lang, he was simply poor and crazy, and he had already thought about it early tomorrow morning, no, leave this place tonight, Cao Legou's family should be able to spend the night.

"This place is a bit of a problem, and I haven't made this trouble yet, I've been researching it for a long time, but I haven't figured out what it's all about. To put it simply, it's a haunted house. "Brother Jiu has always been unwatchful when he speaks, it's still the TV, but now, Zhang Yu has also found a problem with the TV, he is indeed sitting here watching TV, but the people in the TV have stopped and stared outside.

"Haunted House??? Funny, you're here, haven't all these things been solved a long time ago? ”

"Resolved? How to fix it? Like a TV movie, do something? Draw some ghost symbols? Sorry, I don't know any of that. The TV suddenly went black, Brother Jiu also got up from the sofa, walked to the TV, picked up the plug from the ground, plugged it in, and the TV began to light up again, but it was the kind of white spot with no signal, Brother Jiu slapped the TV a few times, but the TV was not good at all, and at the end, I felt bored, Brother Jiu turned off the TV directly, but the TV with the power turned off was turned on again, and this time there was a program again.

"Look, I can't even pack up a TV, what can I fix?" Brother Jiu smiled self-deprecatingly, while Zhang Yu was stunned by this operation.

It wasn't until this moment that Zhang Yu realized that the TV has always been a problem, and the TV has no built-in power supply, and it can operate normally without plugging in? If you're not hallucinating, you're hell.

The atmosphere condensed suddenly, and the TV didn't know when it turned to the music channel, but Zhang Yu felt that the suppressed high note was like a soul-hypnotic sound, which made people collapse, and the wine brother didn't know when he lay back again, but he didn't hold the wine in his hand, so he should have finished drinking.

"It's noisy! That's enough! Zhang Yu was still enduring it, but the wine brother was angry, and threw a wine bottle out, and the sound in the TV immediately stopped abruptly, but then, the whole villa began to roar, all the doors and windows began to frame, and the cold wind that blew in from nowhere washed the entire house over and over again.

Zhang Yu grabbed the handle of the sofa tightly, but it seemed to be molded on a cold arm, Zhang Yu looked down, which was the arm, that was a hand bone that was rotten to the extreme, looking up along the hand bone, a face to the ugly creature grinned his mouth, let out a silent laugh, a lightning bolt flashed, Zhang Yu seemed to see that the whole house was full of people. Fear is like a demon, devouring Zhang Yu's reason and eating away at Zhang Yu's heart.

This is indeed a haunted house, Zhang Yu can finally be sure, it is not a ghost made by anyone, I always thought that it was Brother Jiu who used a special method to occupy this house, but now it seems that he is really too young.

Without any hesitation, without any hesitation, Zhang Yu got up from the sofa, threw himself towards the door, and walked through the room full of figures, cold, cold that can condense thoughts, for a while, but finally, he walked to the door, but the door seemed to come to life, and the life of the frame was closed heavily.

Everything that happened to Yalan Villa was something that Zhang Yu had never thought about, but now it has all happened, the door is closed, it is tightly closed, and it is clear that the road to survival is in front of him, just a little bit, but he has missed it.

Zhang Yu could hear behind him, those whistling sounds, those cold winds, and those strange screams, these were not what he wanted to touch, but he had already encountered them, what could he do?

Zhang Yu's hands held the handle, but the handle couldn't move at all, and the doorknob had much strength, but he was such a big person, and he used all his strength, but the doorknob still didn't move, as if it had been welded to death, and he couldn't move at all.

The sweat on his hands had wrapped the entire doorknob, and even began to form stagnant water dripping downward, and Zhang Yu had already hung up all his strength, as if it was a damaged door, and the whole door was wrestling with himself.

A hand suddenly hung on Zhang Yu's shoulder, Zhang Yu trembled, this should be Brother Jiu, with the last trace of expectation, Zhang Yu slowly turned around, but this hand is not Brother Jiu's, but a person he doesn't know at all. However, taking advantage of this turn, Zhang Yu found that the whole room did not know when it would return to normal.

The whole room became bright, and a few people I didn't know were busy, but judging from the clothes, it should be a waiter, and the one behind me looked like a waitress.

Brother Jiu had already sat up and invited Zhang Yu to return to his previous position, and the table between the two was full of food and fruits.

Zhang Yu was a little suspicious of his eyes, should this be an illusion, or was he hypnotized? wiped his eyes vigorously, and these things really disappeared, but Brother Jiu did sit up and beckoned Zhang Yu to come over, and Zhang Yu was like a marionette, walking in front of Brother Jiu step by step.

"Speaking of which, it seems that we haven't talked since the last time we talked, right, Cao Legou's matter is a bit troublesome, but I can indeed help a little, but in exchange, you have to do one thing for me." Brother Jiu didn't care about everything that happened just now, this calm attitude made Zhang Yu think that everything that happened just now didn't happen at all, maybe he was just in a daze just now, and now he is still sitting in the position just now.

But sweat can't be fake, at this time, how dare Zhang Yu refuse Brother Jiu's proposal.

"Okay, no problem." Zhan Zhan Keke sat down, but Zhang Yu didn't feel a little warmth in his body. The table was empty, it didn't matter, but the broken wine bottle that Brother Jiu threw on the ground just now disappeared without a trace. seems to be laughing at Zhang Yu's incompetence and ignorance, except for the volume of the TV has become smaller, everything is no different from just now.

However, at least the door was opened just now, and Zhang Yu didn't have time to close it because he was in a hurry to enter the house, but now, the door was tightly locked in the dark night outside the house, but I don't know which one was more frightening than this house.

"Which ones were hallucinations?" Zhang Yu felt that he had asked another extremely stupid question.

"If you think it's hallucinations, then those are hallucinations, and human organs have been deceiving humans all along, just without knowing it." Brother Jiu shook his head, the wine on the table was gone, it was time to get a little.

"I'm going to get some wine, here, don't move."

"Can I come with you?" Zhang Yu didn't dare to stay here alone, especially when something like that had just happened.

"Love will follow you, I don't guarantee your safety." Brother Jiu turned around and showed a smile, but it was full of sneering.

But Zhang Yu didn't feel anything wrong, leaving, yes, he was leaving here, in such an environment, as long as there were people around, it would be much safer.

This is the first time Zhang Yu has come to Brother Jiu's house, but the whole house is very neat, but this place is a bit eerie, as Brother Jiu said before, he lives in the basement, Zhang Yu has always thought that it will be a dilapidated place, why do you have to live in the basement when there are so many houses in the villa.

But now, everything has an answer, the basement is a very luxurious independent single room, but this large single room is divided into four small pieces for structural stability, the size is different, but the whole is a rectangle. Brother Jiu's bedroom is in the innermost, next to the wine cellar, and then there is a separate bathroom, and the closest to the stairs is a study.

Brother Jiu casually took down a bottle of wine from the cabinet in the wine cellar and lay down on his bed, while Zhang Yu moved the chair in the study and sat opposite Brother Jiu.

"What the hell is going on here?" Although the small space is small, it can give people a sense of safety, Zhang Yu can finally relax a little when he arrives here, and when he is in the hall, he always feels that something is not quite right in that place.

"You say this is here, this is the source of everything." Brother Jiu's thinking is still very clear, even if the bottle in his hand should be the fourth wine bottle that Zhang Yu saw today, this is not beer, this is liquor, more than three catties of liquor is in the stomach, but Brother Jiu is like no one. It can only be said that it is a creature that makes people feel fear.

"The source?"

"Hmph, you should have seen the kind of people who build houses, the name is urban planning, a large piece of land, but in fact, they don't get it all." Brother Jiu's eyes are half-squinted, he should be about to fall asleep, it is true that some people will fall asleep soon after drinking, and they can't see any drunkenness before, but I don't know if Brother Jiu is this kind of person.

After a long pause, Brother Jiu continued to speak.

"In fact, there was no agreement to the demolition at all in this area. The owner of this place, surnamed Tang. The Tang family may have been in the past, and the family was powerful and occupied a large area, but now, it is all in the past, and this place is their yin house, that is, the cemetery. ”

"When this building was built, a whole family cemetery was under the building, and some other coffins were dug up, but in order to save trouble, those coffins dug up, because there were too many, there was no place to deal with them, and finally they were buried, and the funeral goods were stolen and stolen, of course, it was not worth a few dollars, and the current villa area is the last place where those coffins were stacked. From this place further down, there were a lot of coffins, and then, these coffins were put together in a chaotic manner. ”

"The feng shui here should actually be pretty good, but after death, you have to be tossed around like this, who wants to." Brother Jiu explained lightly, but Zhang Yu didn't believe it at all.

"According to you, there are so many large residential areas, and I haven't seen problems in other residential areas."

"You can think about it this way, what kind of explanation will it be for a big family in the past, all of a sudden death."

Although Brother Jiu's explanation is very unreliable, it is like hearing absurd ghost stories in the corner of the village when he was a child, but a big family died all at once, which is indeed a bit resentful, but there were more families in those dynasties at the beginning, why didn't I see those guys making trouble?

If it is really like what Brother Jiu said, the dead do not disappear, but become ghosts, then in this whole history, so many people have died, and this matter should have become a ghost by now.

It is said that people who drink will talk more, but in fact, this is not true at all, Zhang Yu is still infinitely constructing and overthrowing the horror story in his heart, and Brother Jiu slowly continued the story last time and told it:

I'll never forget what happened at Blue Mountain Hospital.

It was a rather uneventful day, just like my life, my life, without a little passion, just a simple waste of life and time, I needed to go to work at the Blue Mountains Cemetery management office, carry out my day-to-day collection work, get off the bus, and walk a long way, the scenery on the road is very good, especially in the rainy season, the wind is mixed with the sound of raindrops, and the whole forest seems to be playing a hymn to life.

The only thing that's a little unacceptable is that you have to pass by Blue Mountain Hospital.

Blue Mountain Hospital is an inpatient department, and the people who can be treated are those with brain diseases, referred to as neuropathy.

There is a lot of social pressure and there are many patients in the hospital, which is nothing, but that day, I am very disgusted with this place, there is no oil and water in the Blue Mountain Hospital, and there is also an inpatient department in Xijing City, only those who do not have much money will go to live in the Blue Mountain Hospital, because of the official funding, it is still able to do it.

There were some people who were more dangerous, and I, on the edge of the guardrail, encountered a neuropathy that day.

He leaned against the guardrail, which was high and had an obstacle at the top, which he couldn't turn over, but that didn't stop us from communicating. I don't remember what year it happened, but I know his name very well, his name is Ren Chujiu.

On the ninth day of the first month, don't use the hidden dragon, this is the words in the Book of Changes, but the Book of Changes is a bit of a god, and he can enter the Blue Mountain Hospital, maybe it has something to do with it.

At that time, he had a cigarette in his hand, but there was no fire, he should be going to ask me to borrow a fire, in the mental hospital, fire is definitely contraband.

"Hey, brother passing by, borrow a fire."

But at that time, I didn't lend it to him directly, I worked in the management office of the Blue Mountain Cemetery, and my colleagues were all gloomy and a little excessive, probably because of the environment, often we didn't talk for a long time, and suddenly when someone spoke, the empty old building could amplify the sound many times in a minute and then spread out, if you didn't pay attention to it, you would be startled.

But we still have a bit of a way to have fun, that is, those old employees told me jokes, most of them are about the Blue Mountain Hospital, the Blue Mountain Hospital itself is next door, and it is also a place for a group of crazy people, the funny things are simply endless, some patients are completely normal people, but their thinking is simply extreme to the extreme. So my colleagues often tease them, but usually no one cares, even if the management of the Blue Mountains Hospital is nearby, these patients need to be integrated into society, and it will never be normal to be with crazy people for a long time.

So that day, I also decided to tease him, anyway, it makes no difference if I go to work early and late, the face brush is just an ornament, if I want, it won't take me a minute to clean up the face brush data.

"If you want to borrow fire, you can, I have it, but why should I give it to you?"

If ordinary people may be stunned, or they will get angry, but mental patients have a wide range of ideas, but it is not bad at all. This guy answered my question very seriously.

"Mmmm, yes, you're right, why are you lending it to me? Well, maybe so, do you know the nature of this world? The only truth in this world? ”

I was on the verge of laughing, a madman who said the nature of the world, the only truth, but I now refuse to continue communicating with him if I could, but at the time, I just wanted to have fun.

"The only truth? Tell me about it. ”

"No, I don't say, why should I tell you, you must know that the only truth in this world is equivalent exchange, and if you don't say the same value, I refuse to tell you." The guy looked very proud, but he had already slipped his mouth.

"But I already know this truth, equivalent exchange."

"How do you possibly know that this is the result of twenty years of research in the Institute." The patient went a little crazy, even excited, shaking the guardrail vigorously, as if he didn't want to believe that anyone knew the so-called truth, it seemed that in this guy's heart, this was a research institute, and he was a scientific researcher conducting research in the research institute.

I wanted to slip away, because shaking the guardrail might attract management, this guy was going crazy, and I didn't want to take the responsibility.

But before I could take a few steps, I was stopped by this guy.

"Alright, alright, now that you know this truth, then according to the truth, let me tell you another story." The patient's voice was cold, I didn't want to be that pompous voice at all, I didn't know what was going on, but this guy was calm, so I didn't need to rush to leave.

After I turned around, I saw that this guy had become very calm, leaning against the guardrail, with no expression on his face, slowly telling a story.

"This story, called A Trip to the Barren Mountain, tells the story of an adventurer who died in a barren mountain. The story takes place in ......"

The cold rain woke me up, and I suddenly realized that I was still standing outside the Blue Mountains Hospital, and I looked around at the guy who had just told the story, but there was no trace, what had just happened? Where the hell did that guy go?

I put my hand in my pocket, and in my pocket was a lighter, which the guy desperately needed, to smoke and find a fire, and then kept me, telling a story that I don't know what it was, but where I didn't know how long I was in a daze?

I looked down the road in front of me, a straight avenue, leading to Nanshan Cemetery, but I was a little stopped, inexplicable fear shrouded in my heart, with a slight chill, the misty drizzle turned into a storm in a minute or two, the wind was about to tear the whole sky, I didn't hesitate, turned around and went down the mountain, I was running all the way, and the rain was accompanied by a whole road.

After going down the mountain, because it was a bit desolate here, I didn't look for a hotel to live in, even if there were, it is estimated that the environment is quite poor, I bought an umbrella at the convenience store, and then waited for a taxi on the side of the road, there are not many taxis in the small place, and finally I took a ride through Didi, and then returned home.

After I went back, I had a high fever, and I have forgotten everything that happened at the beginning, but I will not forget the last words that the guy said, he said that his name is Ren Chujiu, so that I can find him in the future.

Brother Jiu finished telling a story in one go, but Zhang Yu listened to it in a daze, and he didn't know what Brother Jiu was talking about, this was mainly a matter of substitution.

Seeing Zhang Yu's confused appearance, Brother Jiu smiled faintly.

"Let's go back to sleep, it's not too early, tomorrow, let's start dealing with Cao Legou's problem." After saying that, Brother Jiu began to walk out, Zhang Yu knew where he was going, it seemed that for Brother Yajiu, the hall was far more comfortable than the bedroom. Zhang Yu thinks that he is a normal person, and the bed is more comfortable than the sofa.

Another dull day passed, Zhang Yu stretched his waist and got up from the bed, in fact, it was already night.

Put down the mobile phone in his hand, Zhang Yu once again determined that he did not have the legendary European emperor bloodline, the current mobile game, Hearthstone, he has been playing back and forth for several years, but until now the card is not ready, among them, the main reason is luck.

But let's not talk about the game now, since early in the morning, Cao Legou's phone calls have not stopped, all urging Zhang Yu to hurry up, but what can Zhang Yu do, Brother Jiu is still lying on the sofa and sleeping, Zhang Yu doesn't dare to disturb at this time, well, Brother Jiu may have forgotten, at most tonight, to remind me.

After playing the game for a day, Zhang Yu, who was a little dazed, felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, but it didn't matter, he was about to go to bed, but after Zhang Yu was really lying on the bed, Brother Jiu knocked on the door and came in.

"Hurry up and get up to do errands."

Zhang Yu was depressed, how could anyone go out to run errands at night, and he still had a bottle of wine in his hand when he went out to run errands, he was afraid that he was not going out to run errands, but going out to find a place to drink bar.

Annoying, Zhang Yu still got up quickly, and then the wine brother didn't disappoint Zhang Yu at all, the first thing he did when he went out was to find a place to drink, oh no, it should be a place to eat. It's nine o'clock in the evening, watching Brother Jiu gulp down blood-red oily noodles, I don't know why, Zhang Yu feels that he suddenly has no appetite at all.

By the time we finished eating, it was almost ten o'clock.

Brother Jiu walked in front without saying a word, and Zhang Yu could only follow as if he was fine, although he was still a little sleepy, but he was already much stronger than before.

If you don't know the road, it's easy to get lost in the Yalan community, but the mobile phone software is so developed, even if you get lost, the mobile app can also let people get out in minutes.

The two of them were silent with each other, Brother Jiu was by nature, and Zhang Yu didn't know what to say at all, and when they reached their destination, Zhang Yu looked at the time, thirty minutes.

However, it is not clear whether this is the destination or not, Brother Jiu stopped, then sat on the ground, looked at Zhang Yu, pointed to the ground next to him, and Zhang Yu also sat down.

The cold ground was very humid at night, and Zhang Yu was not prepared to sit for a long time. And at this time, the wine brother, who had been silent all the way, finally spoke.

"What kind of existence do you think ghosts are?"

asked such a high-end question all of a sudden, Zhang Yu was really dizzy, what kind of existence is a ghost? Ghosts are ghosts, dead spirits? Resentful souls? A ghost who has never been reincarnated?

"This should be an existence that is different from human beings, but how can human beings have a common side." When you encounter this kind of question that you don't know the answer to, you can only try to answer this kind of question more vaguely.

"Hmph, do you know that?"

"And what else?"

"Think about the ghosts you usually know."

"Ordinary ghosts? Well, there are evil spirits? Murderous ghosts? There are also ordinary ghosts, lonely ghosts, well, if the family dreams, there are also house ghosts. Zhang Yu knew that what he said was not very accurate, but he could only say this.

"Then do you know what those ghosts are capable of?"

"This depends on the way of death, for example, the water ghost is only in the water, and the strength in the water is particularly strong, and the ghost who dies of poisoning may also be poisonous, but the general ghost at most ghosts hit the wall, just like you that night, the ghost covers the eyes, and the scary person, knows the secret in your heart, it seems that some good can appear in the form of a substance." Zhang Yu felt that he had tried his best to elaborate.

"Hmph, have you ever thought that a ghost may actually be a creature, and the abilities you are talking about may also be the abilities of these creatures themselves. They may be transformed, simulating the appearance of a dead person, reading your memories, and they may be no different from the animals themselves, except that they have awakened their original intelligence, but they are scarce because their instincts may not live long and reproduce hard. ”

"Since it's so powerful, how will it be solved later?"

"Solve, then it's even more troublesome, haven't you seen those movies and television works? Exaggerate the film and television works you see dozens of times, and it is reality. After speaking, the wine brother began to pour wine, gulping wine, as if it was just beer, not liquor.

Zhang Yu was silent and speechless, indeed, no one has said that maybe the existence of ghosts is problematic in itself, and the root of these problems is no longer exquisite, but he has watched so many films and televisions, and it is many times more exaggerated than film and television, is it possible? Those powerful films and television are opening mountains and rivers, and now, all the weapons on his side are the wine bottles in the hands of Brother Jiu. Thinking of this, Zhang Yu could only pray, in fact, there were no ghosts in the Yalan community, or ghosts did not exist at all.

"So, after all you said, do ghosts really exist?"

"Hmph, your question is a very simple Boolean problem, there are only two options, yes or no, and there is really no way to prove that they exist, and it cannot be denied that they do not exist. But if I answer you with my vision, ghosts exist, they really exist, and even in front of you, there is one. ”

After speaking, Brother Jiu began to communicate with the air, but in Zhang Yu's eyes, this is an autistic person talking to himself.

The whole process only lasted a few minutes, and after the wine brother was done, he got up from the ground, patted the dust on his body, and began to walk back.

"Let's go, it's settled here."

"That's it?"

Zhang Yu feels that his IQ has been insulted, and this is the end? I am ready to retreat at any time, but what about a good battle?

"Of course it's over, didn't you see me fighting there for a long time?"

"But why didn't I see anything?"

"Hmph, it's ridiculous, since you can't see ghosts, then you naturally can't see the battle, you better hurry up and call Cao Legou, it's solved here, but that villa must belong to me." Brother Jiu's explanation was useless, and even after the explanation, he immediately determined the sovereignty of the villa, Zhang Yu could only nod weakly, and began to seriously think about whether there was a problem with his IQ itself.

Zhang Yu himself is a little suspicious that Brother Jiu is a master hidden in the city, but this style of painting has changed abruptly, Brother Jiu is clearly fooling people, what is the difference between this kind of behavior and those gods who cheat on the side of the road to cheat and drink and cheat money.

At night after going back, Zhang Yu began to have a nightmare, in which Brother Jiu did have a big battle with other unknown creatures, and the loud noise lasted until dawn, but after Zhang Yu got up, he found that he was too sleepy after coming back yesterday, and he fell asleep on the sofa on the other side, and the so-called loud noise was just the snoring of Brother Jiu.

Impetuousness belongs to the day, and the night is peaceful.

Zhang Yu couldn't sleep, what was everything that happened during the day, Zhang Yu didn't want to know, if it was perfunctory, there was no need to make such a play, but if it wasn't perfunctory, would the extraordinary power exist in this world?

Zhang Yu has never doubted his three views for so many years, the unknown can indeed make people scary, but what about the known? The Yalan community may be haunted, and he is living in the Yalan community, but this is about to end, Zhang Yu has already made up his mind, and when it dawns tomorrow, he will quickly find Cao Legou, and then move out of the Yalan community completely, and there will be no intersection with this place in the future.

But the black seems to be very long, Zhang Yu wants to fall asleep quickly, and this long night is over, but obviously looking at the time on the phone passing little by little, there is no such thing as sleepiness at all. The wind howled outside the house, accompanied by the snoring of the wine brother, from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. And then immediately after that until 4 o'clock.

The drowsiness finally became thicker, Zhang Yu finally fell asleep, and it was dark until 12 o'clock at noon, when Zhang Yu got up from the bed.

Although there is enough sleep time, after all, if you sleep too late, the whole person is confused.

Brother Jiu didn't know where to go, but Zhang Yu didn't want to pay attention to it anymore, took out his mobile phone, and the first thing he did was to call Cao Legou.

"Sorry, your mobile phone is in arrears, please pay the bill and ......"

The mobile phone can't get through, but Zhang Yu remembers that his mobile phone is not in arrears, could it be that 4G is running too fast? Accidentally got in arrears? It seems that the signal is not very good, the sound of the mobile phone is intermittent, the voice has become hoarse, but the words are still clear, Zhang Yu began to call Cao Legou again.

“…… Right...... No...... You ...... Target...... Bear...... Life...... Already...... Pass through...... Owe...... ...... fee"

Zhang Yu's heartbeat stopped violently, and he subconsciously threw the phone out, but the ringtone of the mobile phone became louder, and the words "life is already in arrears" kept circulating. Zhang Yu left the bedroom, closed the bedroom door, and came to the living room, but the ringtone of the mobile phone did not become a little smaller, as if the walls of the whole house did not have a sound insulation effect, but continued to amplify the sound.

"That'...... Is it a ringtone? ”

People will always deceive themselves and comfort themselves, obviously knowing in their hearts that this is not a bell at all, but at this time, Zhang Yu just wants to find solace for his soul.

Calm down! It is necessary to calm down quickly.

Zhang Yu wanted to calm his breathing, but the sweat didn't know when it came out, it was a cold sweat.

The ringtone of the mobile phone became quieter, but then the door frame was shaking, no, it was the handle of the door lock shaking, as if someone in the house was holding the handle, but the door was not opened.

Zhang Yu's eyes were staring at the door, but his weak feet were slowly moving back, but before he could take a few steps, the whole person was stiff, and the afterglow of his eyes swept to the sofa next to him as if there was a person sitting, Zhang Yu slowly turned his head, his eyes were wide, and there was indeed a figure sitting there, with a weird smile on his face.

"What's the matter, your phone is ringing in the house, has anyone called you? Hurry up and pick it up. "The person sitting on the sofa is Brother Jiu, Zhang Yu didn't remember that Brother Jiu was here just now, but since Brother Jiu is here, Zhang Yu is not so afraid. It took more than a dozen steps to retreat from the door to the current position, but it only took a few steps to walk through. The doorknob is still slowly sliding, and when it reaches the end, the door lock will open.

Zhang Yu, who was no longer afraid, walked to the door generously, but before he could open the door, the door had already opened by itself. A mobile phone was immediately handed out.

"Hurry up and turn off your phone, it's noisy."

Zhang Yu's eyes widened, isn't this person who is handing himself a mobile phone with a weird smile on his face Brother Jiu? How could it be, then the one on the couch just now was.

Zhang Yu turned his head violently, but the sofa was empty at all, and his body began to chill again.

"Brother Jiu, I seemed to see ...... on the sofa just now." Zhang Yu froze, there was no one in front of him, he was indeed holding his mobile phone in his hand, but the figure just now disappeared completely.

If it weren't for seeing everything with his own eyes just now, Zhang Yu would not have doubted his eyes, the air seemed to have become condensed, and the empty living room had never been as silent as it was now. Zhang Yu restrained his trembling legs, if everything in front of him was false, it was simply an insult to a person's IQ.

More than ten years of red flag education collapsed at this moment, what can't be seen doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but it's there, but you can't see it. Zhang Yu wanted to move, but his legs seemed to take root, and what he couldn't see was the most terrifying, he knew that there was something very scary here, but that thing seemed to be hidden, maybe in the corner of the wall, maybe behind the door, or more likely, just behind him.

Arlan Community, a remote corner.

Brother Jiu was sitting quietly, still carrying a wine bottle in his hand, Zhang Yu had already fallen to the ground, black gas was visible to the naked eye, and there were pieces of smoke in front of him. Brother Jiu walked all the way along the light smoke, and the houses here were more or less affected by this kind of thing, but the source was in front of him.

Is this a ghost? Brother Jiu didn't know that since he was able to see this kind of thing, there was nothing strange about this thing at all. Because of the quantity, but it is also because of the quantity, the ghost actually has a lot of doubts.

If ghosts are ghosts that people have died, then every moment of every day, there are ghosts born, but there are not so many things that I can see, Brother Jiu has always thought that since there are so many disciplines to extend in offline society, even if things that don't exist at all like aliens have special disciplines, why isn't there a special one who specializes in ghosts? Or even if it's classified as a mystical discipline.

The history of ghosts is not too short, there is no clear origin, there is no clear beginning, it is like something that appeared out of nowhere. At a certain moment, in the civilizations of various countries in the whole world, presented. But if it's too early, then it's not clear how early it is.

"The Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji", "Taiping Guang Ji", "Sou Shen Ji", "Feng Shen Romance", "Huainan Zi", "Shen Xiao Lei Fa", "Lao Tzu", "Zhuangzi", "Liao Zhai Zhi Wei", "Zi Bu Yu", "The Emperor's Neijing", "Yun Ji Qi Xuan", "Naturalist Chronicles", "Artemisia Gossip", "Shen Yi Jing", the history of these books can be said to be not short, these are only the East, if you say the West, it is not a lot, what werewolves, witches, vampires, and even can be traced back to prehistory, if you say the work, a "Bible" is enough to explain everything.

Throughout the history of major civilizations, it would be ridiculous to blame this kind of thing only on Chinese culture, and if it really doesn't exist, why don't there be the same stories and the same conclusions in the cultural histories that intersect with each other? Chinese and Western ghosts can float without their feet hitting the ground? Vampires and zombies, both suck blood, and both are afraid of sunlight. There are too many things of the same type, so who can say whether there is a mysterious power or not.

Brother Jiu smiled self-deprecatingly, thinking so much, in fact, there is only one fundamental reason, there is no academy that specializes in teaching the knowledge of mysterious things, and he also has no means to deal with ghosts, so how to break the situation in front of him? After all, he and Zhang Yu came here, and they didn't think about how to deal with these guys, Zhang Yu had already fallen to the ground, thinking that Zhang Yu was tall and big, so he could start to play a role, but now he was left alone, what to do to deal with the smoke in front of him.

Zhang Yu was undoubtedly in danger, the expression on his face was condensed with fear, and his whole face was twitching, but unfortunately Brother Jiu recalled the knowledge he had learned, only his mind was full of procedures, and he did not have any knowledge about first aid.

Time can't wait, whether it's the smoke slowly spreading in front of you, or Zhang Yu lying on the ground.

I don't know why, Brother Jiu remembered the various weapons of the demon slayers in the movie and television, and checked his equipment, wallet (there is not much money in it), keys (basically not needed), cigarettes (there are not many anymore), lighters (should be able to play a little role), liquor (and most of the bottles).

In that case, there's nothing to be afraid of in front of you.

Brother Jiu looked at the wine bottle and the lighter, and snorted coldly. There was no suitable weapon at hand, and he was not here to fight, and when dealing with a thing, he should at least understand the nature of the thing, and there was no doubt that he knew nothing about the smoke in front of him, except that he knew that this thing could make people unconscious, and he had no fear of this thing at all.

In the face of danger, there is a great fear, a great fear between life and death. But Brother Jiu didn't, I don't know when he started, he lost his own emotions for everything, in addition to constantly drinking and anesthetizing himself every day, he asked himself more in his heart what was the reason for all this.

In addition to anesthetizing himself, perhaps, Brother Jiu knows that he may have a big problem with his body, and the lack of emotion is not a weapon to deal with fear, but is gradually losing his qualifications as a person, detaching himself from the crowd, and being disqualified in the world.

Opening the wine bottle, the wine brother did not hesitate to splash the wine directly into the smoke, this wine is actually not lit, more than 40 degrees of liquor, in this night when the temperature is less than 20 degrees, the wine has no possibility of being lit. So at the beginning, Brother Jiu didn't think about using fire to solve the smoke, in fact, water can also dispel smoke.

Smoke is unconscious, but it has its own instincts.

Part of the smoke dissipated, and the rest flew around, if this is the opponent, then this opponent is undoubtedly too weak, Brother Jiu ignored the flying smoke and poured all the remaining wine at Zhang Yu. The smoke dissipated quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and Brother Jiu quietly looked at Zhang Yu, who was tall and tall, and it took nearly twenty minutes to walk back to the apartment from here, and how to go back was the biggest problem.

But it's all over, and next, there's something more important, Aoyama Psychiatric Hospital.
