Chapter 143: A Sudden Visitor
There are various ways to catch imps in the East. It can even be said that there is no doubt that the same three words are used in any kind of "catching imps".
In Lei Chan's opinion, whether it is putting on a women's swimsuit and then wearing a red skirt. Such an act is undoubtedly more like a ritual, a ritual of cursing the soul. Whether in the East or in the West, it is generally believed that there is a color that can condense resentment and make people reluctant to go to distant places after death. Of course, this eye color will not be black, but red!
In many Western countries, red represents fiery and joyful spirit, which can drive away evil, and red is a symbol of justice. But many people don't know that the creatures of hell also love red, blazing red. In a certain secular occult, red also has the meaning of proclaiming the banner of evil.
Speaking of the East, there has been an ancient legend in the East a long time ago that if a person dies in red, he will become a ghost. Although it is no longer exquisite, the legend has been passed down in the end. Later, in the book "Ghost Worship Record" left by Mr. Lin from the Northeast, it was described in detail that in the northeast border, there was once a mysterious people who worshiped ghosts as a custom.
And in order to have ghosts to worship, this people began to practice evil arts. There are often strange works such as "How Powerful Ghosts Are Made", "My Diary of Raising Ghosts", and "Postmodern Life of Raising Ghosts". So Mr. Lin compiled a book based on these works, and finally wrote a mystical masterpiece like "Ghost Worship".
Perhaps this nation really did things that hurt nature and reason according to the books they wrote, and the nation finally disappeared into the long river of history. And this "Ghost Worship" was read by Lei Chan.
...
"You mean, someone is using this remote mountain village to raise ghosts? No way! Anne was amazed, even though she was a monster, she still had humanity in her heart. Living in an era of peace, she really can't imagine that someone would do such an inhuman thing.
But Lei Chan just shook his head and motioned for Anne to speak quietly, obviously not wanting to affect the mother and son in the room. After all, he was already the last little boy in the village, and according to the law of the toes, he was bound to be the next target. I only heard Lei Chan say helplessly: "If my guess is correct, then it is indeed someone here who uses the lives of ordinary people to raise little ghosts!" ”
"We have to stop this from happening!" Although these words came out of a vampire's mouth, it seemed a little funny, but looking at Anne's serious look, Lei Chan smiled playfully: "Once we intervene in this matter, then our whereabouts will definitely be exposed, are you ready for this?" ”
Anne hesitated, of course she knew what was important. knew that what was happening in front of her was just a plot in the script, but she still couldn't bear to watch the boy die. However, after Lei Chan's traces were discovered, he would fall into a life-threatening situation, and he fell into a difficult situation for a while.
Lei Chan couldn't help but laugh softly: "We have to do this, because today is the third day that Xu Ming said, if what happened in the neighboring village is true." If we hadn't helped, he would have been hanged today. Even if this matter has been reported to the Brotherhood, they will definitely not have time to save this little ghost! ”
"But..."Anne was still about to speak, but Lei Chan waved his hand and stopped her: "I'm an exorcist, I can't sit idly by and watch what is about to happen, let's rest!" There may be a big battle tonight! ”
After speaking, Lei Chan smiled at Anne and walked into the house, and soon the voice of mother and son was grateful.
...
At night, you can see the mountain in the distance.
It was hundreds of meters away, cloudless, and a bright moon shone on the earth. However, it was pitch black in the mountain village, and not even a little moonlight could penetrate the thick black gas above. The mountain village is very remote, and the people in the village seem to know that something big is about to happen tonight, and there is no fire in the village.
The door was closed again, and the room was lit by a worn kerosene lamp, and an old candlestick was placed beside it. It is conceivable that on weekdays, the mother and son are not even willing to use this kerosene lamp for lighting.
"Mr. Lei..."Mother Xu saw Lei Chan return to the house, and stood up with some trepidation, obviously as it got late, her heart became more and more uneasy.
Lei Chan waved his hand, looked at Xu Ming, who was sitting with Anne, and asked, "Do you feel any discomfort?" Seeing Xu Ming shake his head, he was puzzled. Because the minutes and seconds passed, the later it was getting dark, the more uneasy he became. Vaguely, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly asked, "Do you know the death of the little boy in the neighboring village?" ”
The three of them were stunned, and Mother Xu was obviously a super otaku type who couldn't leave the house in three steps, and shook her head to say that she didn't know. In the end, Xu Ming jumped out, this child was very precocious, and as the chief suspect who suffered damage, he had already inquired about the matter.
According to Xu Ming's account, the little boy who died in a neighboring village died in an extremely tragic state, and his limbs were firmly bound by ropes. The man who did the act even hung a big tag between his legs, which was extremely cruel. But when Lei Chan finished listening to Xu Ming's description, his brows furrowed even deeper!
Anne sensed that something was wrong, pulled Lei Chan aside, and asked in a low voice, "Lei Chan, what's wrong?" Is there something wrong? ”
"This thing... I've heard of it! Lei Chan said, but the tone between the lines revealed uncertainty, "But I don't remember where it stopped!" Anne was a little surprised, but she didn't know what to say, but neither of them noticed that Olivia, who was sitting on Anne's shoulder, was starting to look ugly again.
"So, what do you remember?" Anne finally broke the silence and whispered to Lei Chan.
"It's not a lot, but I remember that the general situation of this incident is similar to what the child described, but in the end it seems to be a little different." Lei Chan's tone was a little hesitant, but it was clear that there was no time to continue to let him speak, because there was a strange voice outside!
A soft knock sounded outside the door, which immediately startled the people in the room.
Everyone glanced at each other, and Xu Mu asked tremblingly, "Who is it?" ”
But the person outside the door did not answer, and still knocked on the door in an orderly manner. Gradually, the sound of knocking on the door became harsh, from the initial regular three knocks on the door to a crazy knock on the door. But the strange thing is that the wooden door, which looked broken, withstood the crazy slapping and crumbled in the violent impact!
The faces of the people in the room suddenly became unpleasant, they were not stupid, of course they knew that the comers were not good!
In line with the uncomfortable setting of not dying, Lei Chan pulled out a short knife, suddenly stepped forward, and slammed open the door!
