Except for the strange talisman that caught fire, causing the magic circle to burst into flames, but there was no smoke or heat, and Wen Shuo stood in the magic circle that gradually weakened until it was extinguished, but his clothes were not affected in the slightest, Ma Youcheng did not see anything else.

But he clearly felt that when the fire of the magic circle was gradually extinguished, a cold cold air surrounded Wen Shuo's body.

At this moment, Wen Shuo stood there quietly, with a strange footstep posture, like a lifeless ice sculpture, but his body was trembling slightly. On the other hand, Zhan Dong, who was shrunk in the corner of the bed, trembling under the quilt, with empty and confused eyes, gradually regained some agility and brightness in his expression.

Then, I became more and more confused, surprised, and a little afraid.

Wen Shuo's eyes slowly opened a slit, and after observing Zhan Dong's expression, he slowly breathed and exhaled a wisp of turbid qi for a long time.

Immediately, he no longer looked at Zhan Dong, and he didn't have time to pay attention to Ma Youcheng who was standing in the corner, so he quickly took off the jade pendant from his neck, walked to the small table and put it into a large bowl full of water, and brought the big bowl to the middle of the magic circle that was already full of ashes, and then bit the index finger of his right hand and dripped two drops of blood into the big bowl.

Twist up two more talismans, shake them slightly, and silently recite the mantra to ignite the water bowl twice, and extinguish it in the water.

Wisps of yin and evil qi evaporated from the magic circle on the ground that had not completely dissipated, and climbed up against the edge of the bowl like a mist of flowing water, immersed in the water, and then drilled into the jade pendant.

Quickly collecting all the yin and evil qi, Wen Shuo took out the jade pendant, wrapped it in three talismans, folded it, and put it in his pocket, with a satisfied expression on his face - the jade pendant at this time was not easy to carry, because the cold aura was too strong and easy to hurt.

Wrapped in talismans, a large amount of avoiding yin and evil qi, the periphery of the jade pendant circle is difficult to control, and it is easy to escape and spread, and the second is to isolate the damage of the external heaven and earth five elements to these yin and evil qi.

Wen Shuo made an OK gesture to Ma Youcheng, then shook out a talisman, flicked it lightly and ignited, dragging the flames like arrows and pounced on Zhan Dong, who was stunned as if he was remembering something, so shocked that Zhan Dong screamed in horror and closed his eyes.

......Shh

The burning talisman extinguished on Zhan Dong's forehead, and the ashes scattered.

Zhan Dong passed out with his eyes closed.

Since closing the door, although Ma Youcheng has only watched from the sidelines, he has been affected by the operation of the magic circle, the natural balance changes of the five elements of heaven and earth indoors, and the fact that he has really seen the practice of raising the altar, and he is also very clear that there is a yin and evil aura, and it can even be said that there is a "ghost", how can he not be nervous?

So at this moment, he also had a feeling of mental fatigue, according to Wen Shuo's instructions before, he stepped forward, sat on the edge of the dirty bed, looked at Zhan Dong who was leaning against the corner of the wall, in a coma, and called: "Zhan Dong, Zhan Dong, wake up, ...... you"

Wen Shuo took two steps back to the side at the right time and stood behind Ma Youcheng.

"Huh?" Zhan Dong woke up suddenly, looked around in horror, and then looked at Ma Youcheng suspiciously: "You, who are you?"

"The surname of the contemptible man is Ma, and the name is the city. Ma Youcheng smiled and said, "It's your wife and children who asked me to come to see you." Don't be nervous, don't be afraid, in fact, you have been overly frightened, resulting in an abnormal mental condition, and after the mental treatment just now, you are basically back to health. ”

"Frightened, mentally ill?" Zhan Dong looked confused.

Ma Youcheng looked indifferent and said casually: "You can now recall what you experienced after the accident in the mine...... Then, tell me, don't hide it all in your heart, it will make your mental stress too great, and the disease will easily recur. ”

"I, I don't want to say it, it's too terrible, it's too miserable...... Zhan Dong said with a shuddering shake of his head, tears immediately welling up in his eyes.

"It's not so scary to say, it's just an experience of yours, a sinister and cruel experience that you have personally experienced, everything has passed. Ma Youcheng played on himself and comforted: "You must know that any cruel incident cannot be experienced by the listener, so he will not be afraid, and you also need to confide in you, so as to relieve the pressure in your heart." Think about it, if you continue to relapse and your mental state does not improve, not only will you become a burden to your family, but you will also bring great pain to the lives of your wife and children. ”

"But I ......"

"Say it. Ma Youcheng said softly: "Do you know? Your son's academic performance has always been very good, he has dropped out of school for a year, and he wants to return to school for the third year of high school after the summer, and he will be admitted to university in the future, he has never given up studying and studying." ”

Zhan Dong was stunned, his eyes looked at the dark place in the corner of the roof, hesitated for a long time, and finally began to slowly tell the terrible experience of being in the well that day.

He remembered that it was six o'clock in the morning, not long after his shift went down the mine.

But the well was suddenly permeable.

For these miners in the mine, there have only been two simple trainings on various accident warnings, first aid measures in emergency situations, etc., and there have been no in-depth explanations, let alone any drills.

Even some safety equipment at the bottom of the well is not complete.

Zhan Dong remembered clearly, the experienced foreman at that time, the first to find the working face of the roadway seeping water traces, he yelled badly, quickly shouted to lead everyone along the roadway to run out, some of the roadway is relatively flat, some are very inclined places, from the discovery of signs of permeability, to the beginning of a large amount of permeability, the interval is very short, soon permeable place, began to erupt like an explosion of a large amount of water, the roadway wall quickly collapsed, the sound in the underground roadway like thunder rumbling and muffled, extremely terrifying.

And the water potential is also like an angry dragon encroaching on the space of the lanes.

Soon, the team members were in a panic and lost order, some climbed onto the minecart in a panic, hoping that the top could find the accident below as soon as possible, and then started the minecart to pull up, while others ran into the blocked roadway in front of them in a panic, and some fell to the ground in a wild run and were quickly swallowed by the raging water......

The cries of panic and despair are endless!

Zhan Dong and a few of the fastest workers quickly climbed up the steepest slope, but at this moment, the ventilation equipment in the well has stopped running, coupled with the crazy escape in fear, they are tired and out of breath one by one, watching the water under their feet surging as if boiling, constantly rising, under the instinct of survival, began to continue to climb along the track, everyone did not even have the strength to shout for help.

When Zhan Dong had no strength to run again and could only wait to die, he happened to climb to the mouth of a shaft, and by the buoyancy of the surging water, he grabbed a steel drill inserted horizontally on it, and then struggled to lift his legs, stepped on a hole next to the wall of the well, and struggled to get in and sit down.

When he turned around, he watched as two workers, who had also entered the shaft, were sucked up by the raging water and swept into the tunnel.

Suddenly, a worker appeared in the water and reached out and grabbed Zhan Dong's ankle, which was still hanging in the air.

Zhan Dong was almost dragged in.

The worker shouted for help, Zhan Dong wanted to reach out and grab the worker, but his other hand had nowhere to go, let alone save the worker, he was going to be dragged down, in great fear, he kicked his feet wildly, and at the last moment, got rid of the worker's hands, and then, he saw the worker disappear under the seemingly calm water in an instant.

He retreated into the pit in the wall of the well, and watched the water still rise, feeling terrified in his heart.

He hunched over to his feet, stretched out his feet and tried to reach a steel drill that was stuck horizontally on it, clenched it, and then felt the water rise and swallow his body little by little, until it flooded the pit in the wall of the well, flooded his chest, he raised his face, the desire to survive, let him tiptoe as much as possible, the water, flooded his neck, the back of his head......

Only the face is still on the water, and you can still breathe the foul air.

Exhausted, he saw that there seemed to be some misty light in the darkness above, and then the figures of the workers appeared, their figures erratic, twisted, and sometimes entangled.

But their facial expressions were clear, and they were all looking at him with a numb, empty look!

"You lived......

"You're not dead!"

"We're all dead......"

......

Zhan Dong seemed to be able to hear what these workers were saying, although none of their lips moved, not even their faces.

Zhan Dong was lucky.

He became the only one rescued.

During those days in the hospital, he had been in a helpless state of panic and anxiety, although he knew that he had survived, although his wife and a pair of children were by his side, although the leaders of the mine took turns to visit him every day.

One of the mine's managers told him that four people had died.

But Zhan Dong remembers it clearly, there were more than 20 people who went down the well together at that time!

Moreover, he had witnessed the death of almost all of them, and only his own lives had been saved, so why, only four of them had died? Could it be that the others had been swept away and swallowed up by the raging current, and then fortunately rescued?

He didn't believe it.

But before he was discharged from the hospital, the mine owner entrusted a lawyer to settle his salary and give him a bonus of 10,000 yuan, let him go home, tell him, don't talk nonsense to the outside world, this water penetration accident, only four people died, he was rescued!

If he talks nonsense, he will be held criminally responsible!

Not to mention that the bonus has to be recovered, and it has to be sentenced.

Criminal responsibility?

Zhan Dong, who doesn't understand anything, understands this kind of thing, this kind of person is not something that a little person like himself can offend.

Besides, isn't there a 10,000 yuan bonus?

So, he was honestly sent back to Shinonome!

When he got home, he began to suffer from his inner torment, first with nightmares, then with delirium, often hallucinating, during meals, those dead workers sat opposite him, beside him, behind him, when he was a child, he sat not far away and watched him, when he slept, he lay on his bedside, and sat in the living room to watch TV for a while, and the workers would appear on the TV screen one after another, and later, the frightened and tragic appearance of each worker when he died, and the worker who was kicked away by his feet and stared desperately at him being swept underwater......
