Nangong Yao took out his mobile phone, and after operating it for a while, he handed it to us.

I saw a list, each of which was describing an object, a noun like a crystal ball that appeared two or three times.

Obviously, this is a supernatural item under the influence of the thin man.

The thin man's face was very ugly, he covered his head, and said, "How do you find these crystal balls?" I don't remember how many psychic shops I've been to with her, some of them weren't shops, they were houses in residential buildings, main houses. ”

"We've also taken this into account, so we're not ready to take action for the time being. Mr. Tan already knows his abilities, and subconsciously, his concept is also changing. The items he had used to exert his power on were gradually losing their original powers. So don't worry, we'll figure out what's left after this transition period. Wu Ling said.

The thin man patiently read the complete list of lists, and his face did not improve, but drew a few lines on Nangong Yao's mobile phone screen.

"These, judging by the description, should be the content of some ghost stories she told me."

I took my mobile phone and came over to look at it, and Guo Yujie and the others also turned their heads.

"An oval mirror with a carved border?" Guo Yujie said.

The name is followed by some data such as the size and diameter of the mirror.

"That's the story I just told. Nothing but the original version of gore. The thin man said.

He told the story, and it was a cliché ghost story.

A young lady combs her hair in the mirror in the middle of the night, when someone who holds a grudge against her cuts off her head. The mirror reflects the whole process, turning into a cursed supernatural object that attaches to the ghost of the noble lady and kills all the young women who are mirrored in the middle of the night.

Guo Yujie looked at the thin man with an idiot expression.

The thin man explained loudly: "She found a lot of documents, newspaper clippings at the time, some records in the local library, police investigations, and court verdicts. The killer was a servant of her family, and the official documents say that the servant was reprimanded and abused by her, so he killed her in retaliation. The servant was sentenced to be hanged. The gallows is still in the local museum. However, there is also information such as Noshi that she cuckolded her husband and was killed by her husband. Her husband settled the matter with money and hanged a substitute. By the way, there is also a ghost story that says that the ghost of the servant remains on the gallows. If someone touches the gallows, they will be bewitched and hang themselves. There are many versions of this ghost story, one is this, and there are several that say that slaves were randomly executed in other places, resulting in ghosts. Gallows and guillotines, lynching paraphernalia, and the haunted house that spawned it...... This belongs to the source of the ghost story that has been examined, and that history is true. ”

I can understand this kind of evidence, which belongs to the category of history and folklore.

But......

"But you believe that mirror can kill." Guo Yujie said.

In history, there may really be such a noblewoman, in that dark period, many slaves were killed by their masters at will, and there was nowhere to seek justice.

But there are really ghosts that remain to this day, and they are still taking revenge and killing people; There are cursed items, handed down, and wanton killing...... This is really ridiculous for the good young people of the new era who have never seen ghosts and don't believe in the supernatural.

Several of us looked at the thin man with subtle eyes.

"You're so superstitious." Guo Yujie said.

"It's affected. I believe in the occult. The thin man casually said, "There are many things that science can't explain, and everything is possible." By the way, now prove that I'm right! There are really ghosts in this world, you have all seen it! ”

The thin man was almost about to shoot the case.

"Those are two different things." Guo Yujie spoke on our behalf.

Believing in a ghost before you have seen a ghost is a different thing from believing in a ghost after you have seen a ghost.

The thin man was speechless.

"Are these things from abroad?" Wu Ling took the phone and confirmed with the thin man in a serious way, without the intention of laughing at the thin man's past.

The thin man nodded dejectedly.

Wu Ling looked at it and handed the phone back to Nangong Yao.

Guo Yujie asked curiously, "Is that cursed item real?" ”

Wu Ling replied: "If it is the carrier of a certain ghost, then it may be true. But this is rare. Generally speaking, people become ghosts after death because of obsessions, and they have things they want to accomplish. Pure resentment, just killing everyone who is close to you, is a rare situation. Among the ghosts, those who are sane are always stronger than those who are not. It is unlikely that a sane person would have killed so aimlessly. ”

I looked at the thin man, and then at Nangong Yao.

Nangong Yao happened to be looking at the thin man, probably sensing my gaze, and glanced at me, slightly. He lowered his head and made a few clicks on his phone.

I looked at the skinny man again.

I suspect that Wu Ling's words have changed some of the thin man's concepts, and some of the supernatural stories he believed in before should not be believed now.

Guo Yujie complained about the thin man casually: "Did you hear that? ”

"I didn't know." The thin man argued.

Chen Xiaoqiu coughed dryly and asked, "So, what is the situation with Mother Zheng?" ”

We are here today for Zheng Wei's mother's matter, and we were pulled away from the topic before and forgot about business.

"You just mentioned a possibility, it is Yu Chuanfeng's ability that is influencing him." Chen Xiaoqiu reminded.

Wu Ling said: "Yes. One possibility is this. The second possibility, which is more complicated, can also become very bad. ”

Wu Ling's expression was much more solemn, and Gu Mo, who had been eating vegetables and watching the play, also put down his chopsticks with a serious expression.

"I've heard that you've been to Huixiang and seen a ghost who claims to be a guide?" Wu Ling asked me suddenly.

I chuckled and nodded in the affirmative.

"That ghost is special, isn't it? You should have felt it at the time. Wu Ling asked again.

I still nodded, and briefly explained the things about the guide.

Wu Ling listened carefully, and when I finished speaking, she spoke: "Huixiang should be spiritual." The history of the Zhou family and the status of the city god in the local area are enough to form a spirit. This is the kind of spirit that I told you, the spirit of the human mind. Some traditional supernatural views, such as the city god, the underworld, as well as the consensus of the society, the most basic morality, worshipping the ancestors, and worshiping the sages, can all form a spirit and stabilize it through a certain form. ”

The thin man interrupted Wu Ling's narration, "Wait, according to what you said, aren't there many spirits in this world?" ”

"So to speak. But most of these spirits are weak. Because the idea is not strong enough, because there are too few people who have such thoughts, and it may be because the ideas are conflicting. As with the perception of the sages of history, everyone is different. The most important thing is that everyone knows that the man is dead. Without establishing them as some eternal form, such as God, this mere worship would not have been able to form a spirit. Wu Ling said, and also gave examples, "God of wealth, God of poverty, God of love...... The image of such a god, which has survived to this day, is basically some kind of special spirit. If you look at history, this kind of god related to man is not from the belief in natural phenomena in primitive society, but from the allusion of a certain historical figure. Historical figures are dead and souls have long since been reincarnated, but this artificially created image that has been recognized by many people will become a spirit and remain to this day. ”
