After the investigation is over, we are going to leave the USB flash drive with the weird video in the hand of Curator Kim.

Before leaving, I specifically asked him to keep the matter quiet for the time being, and find a way to hide it from the family of the deceased until the truth is revealed.

Curator Jin naturally agreed to come down in a hurry.

In his opinion, once this matter gets out before it is dealt with, his funeral home should probably close its doors.

Not only that, but once the family members of the deceased came to the door, he really didn't know what to do.

Leaving the funeral home, after discussion, we decided to contact Uncle Ma first.

Let's see if he, an old man, can find some other clues from this case.

I called him, and then I realized that he was still "lying" at my house, and I was so angry that I despised him for a while.

Uncle Ma's love for his mother is well known to everyone in Sima Zhao's heart.

Although I know that Uncle Ma's love for his mother is sincere and selfless, after all, there is still my own son, he should be more restrained!

When the four of us returned home, my mother happened to go out to buy vegetables, and Uncle Ma was the only one in the family.

This guy is drinking tea and watching TV with his legs crossed.

When I saw this guy's pleasant face, I was even more angry.

This old boy really regards this as his home.

When Uncle Ma saw my gloomy face, he naturally guessed my dissatisfaction with him, so he stood up with a smile and nodded at me.

I was too lazy to eat his set, waved my hand, and directly asked Ma Jiaqian to tell him the whole case.

After hearing this, Uncle Ma couldn't help frowning, and finally returned to his mature and sophisticated side.

When I got to my bedroom, I skillfully turned on the computer and played the weird video recorded on the USB stick again.

Uncle Ma stared at the video with small eyes, until the video ended, and he suddenly said:

"This video is weird, can you find a way to enlarge the image in this video?"

I couldn't help but smile.

It seems that Uncle Ma is really experienced, and he has already found some clues from the video, and he wants to see it more clearly.

At this time, Zhou Peng stood up and took the initiative to ask Ying, saying that he could help.

It turned out that this seemingly thin and timid young man turned out to be a computer expert.

He first downloaded a few video processing programs on my computer, and then tinkered with them, and sure enough, the original video definition was much higher.

Then, at Uncle Ma's suggestion, Zhou Peng slowed down the video playback speed a little.

However, this made this naturally timid Zhou Peng suffer.

I didn't dare to watch this video, but I had to play it carefully, and it was slow.

"Stop!"

Uncle Ma shouted coldly.

Zhou Peng's hand shook and he hurriedly pressed the pause button.

I stepped forward, only to see the video freeze a few minutes before the body appeared.

In the picture, there is nothing but an empty hallway.

I looked at Uncle Ma suspiciously, hoping to get some hints from him.

Uncle Ma pursed his lips and motioned for me to look at the lower left corner of the picture.

I craned my neck to take a closer look, and I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Hey?

Isn't this the first time I've watched a video, and I don't have time to think about it?

I originally thought it was a problem with the exposure of the lens.

But with the added clarity, it doesn't seem to be what I thought it would be.

"Hey, why is there a small spot of light at the bottom of the corridor, is it a problem with the clarity of the picture?"

Zhou Peng, who was a little frightened, said speechlessly, and then continued to debug the picture.

After he made such a move, the small points of light in the picture finally became clear, revealing its true face of Lushan.

It turned out to be an oil lamp floating in the air!

Everyone was shocked, but also inexplicably a deep sense of fear emerged from their hearts.

Even I am no exception.

This scene in front of me is really weird!

It's simply unheard of.

"Uncle Ma, what the hell is going on?"

I turned my head and asked him suspiciously.

Uncle Ma frowned and said in a deep voice:

"It seems that it should be from the Xiangxi area, and it is a special soul-attracting lamp in the corpse expulsion technique."

Xiangxi corpse expulsion?

Soul Lights?

Listening to the familiar and unfamiliar words in his mouth, we couldn't help but look at each other for a while.

Since ancient times, chasing corpses in Xiangxi has been a mysterious and ancient profession.

Over the years, in many film and television works, there have been relevant plots, and everyone has seen a lot of them, so they have a fairly clear concept of it.

It's just that now when it comes out of Uncle Ma's mouth, the shock it brings to us is indescribable.

The more I felt that there must be some secret behind this matter.

However, since it is the Xiangxi corpse expulsion technique, this fully explains why the corpse "resurrected" itself and ran away for no reason.

And all of a sudden, there are as many as seven.

In terms of manipulating corpses, there are many methods, but the Xiangxi corpse expulsion technique, which was born from the Maoshan technique, is definitely one of the best.

"But in my heart, isn't Xiangxi driving out the corpses to help those who died in a foreign land, bring the corpses back to their hometowns, and let them be buried in peace?"

He Shuyao finally recovered from the shock, tilted his head and said innocently.

"Humph! It is all the product of the beautification of the corpse chasing technique, the real Xiangxi corpse chasing technique, but it is very evil and terrifying. ”

Uncle Ma said coldly, seemingly disdainful of Xiangxi's corpse expulsion technique.

According to his explanation, the art of chasing corpses originated from the Miao tribe in Xiangxi and belonged to the Wuzhu culture.

Together with Miao Jiang Gu Poison and Luohua Cave Girl, it is also known as the "Three Evils of Xiangxi".

In the earliest days, corpse chasers, also known as corpse exorcists, originated in the era of war.

At that time, the Miao tribes in Xiangxi were in a civil war, with countless casualties and mourning.

Therefore, the leaders of the tribes ordered their sorcerers to bring back the soldiers who had died in battle belonging to their tribes for burial.

Due to the large number of corpses, the wizards could only unite to perform sorcery, so that the corpses were briefly "resurrected" like puppets, and they were ordered to walk back to the tribe.

Later, some sorcerers with evil intentions used this witchcraft to modify it, regaining control of the corpses of dead warriors on the battlefield and turning them into zombie armies, destroying rival tribes in one fell swoop.

Corpses are strewn all over the field, and they are extremely cruel.

Because it was so evil and bloody, the evil wizards who modified witchcraft were exterminated by the tribes.

And this witchcraft of manipulating corpses was also sealed away and disappeared for the time being.

But there are no impermeable walls in this world, and this kind of witchcraft finally leaked out, and gradually evolved into the mysterious and ancient art of exorcism.

After listening to Uncle Ma's introduction, all of us present suddenly realized.

It turns out that the mysterious corpse exorcism has such a history, although it is similar to what we know, but there are still some differences.

As he said, it did go through some beautification.

But who would have stolen seven corpses using such an ancient and mysterious corpse exorcism technique?

What is his purpose?
