Chapter 14: Revenge
"Hey guys, how was your day?" Los was the first to go up and greet them.
As Roy was moving a set of diving equipment out of the car, John replied, "What a bad day, this incident is really strange, the corpses and related items have been burned, why are there ghosts, this is so unreasonable." ”
Gu Chen took a cigarette and said lazily: "Of course, your set in the United States will definitely not work here, our ghosts here can't be killed with iron and salt." ”
"Alright, man, do you want to smoke there, or do you want to help us out?"
Gu Chen threw away the cigarette butt and stepped forward to help Roy put on a diving suit.
Lois wondered, "Where did you get these things?" ”
Roy replied while putting on his diving goggles: "The car is rented nearby, we have diving equipment in the hotel in S City, we will bring all the equipment that may be used, borrowed ones are not used to it, and it is not allowed to be sloppy when dealing with ghosts, and it is likely to die with unfamiliar equipment." ”
Everyone helped Roy into the water, and in order to prevent him from encountering accidents underwater, they also deliberately tied a rope around his waist and pulled it three times as a code for a situation.
After Roy got into the water, everyone stood on the shore in twos and threes, chatting.
Gu Chen walked up to John and asked, "How did you know about this pond?" ”
John said: "Roy actually left some memories after being possessed, it should be one of Kang Ling or Zheng Mo, but it was very chaotic, it was all some fragments related to murder, but there was a scene he remembered very clearly, that is, two men threw a woman into this pond." ”
"So you think that Li Yi, who disappeared back then, is in this pond?"
"Didn't you think so about why you came here?"
Gu Chen smiled and put a cigarette in his mouth to change the subject: Gu Chen said: "There are not many people in this club who can really catch ghosts this time, but I can see that although the two of you are not ...... You know, superpowers or something, but he's a real ghost hunter. ”
"Ghost hunters? I thought we should be called Taoist priests in China, but in our business, we are called hunters, we hunt ghosts, we have no fixed residence, we forge credit cards, we drive around 50 states in the United States to investigate suspicious paranormal events, we are a group of people with no future. ”
"Then why did you do this?"
John looked thoughtfully at the surface of the pond and sighed after a long time: "I don't know what it's like in China, but in our place, every hunter starts more or less the same, it's a tragic story. ”
Gu Chen took a deep breath of smoke: "Is it for revenge?" ”
John looked up at Gu Chen, and then smiled bitterly: "Man, you are really a smart person, you seem to be able to see through everything at a glance." ”
"Don't mind telling me, I'm tight-lipped." Gu Chen also took out a cigarette and handed it to John.
John took the cigarette, lit it, smoked it for a while, and then recounted the old story from many years ago: "Roy and I have been neighbors since we were children, and our fathers were a couple in the police department, and they were the best, and we wanted to be heroes like my father from a young age.
Our two families also had a very good relationship, my mother went to pottery classes with Roy's mother, Roy's dad took us fishing, my dad took us hunting, Roy asked my sister to go to the high school prom, and I still remember the apple pie that Roy's aunt made, it was the most delicious thing in the world.
Our two families are like a family, and Roy and I are like brothers. But it all ended seven years ago, and that day was a nightmare that is still fresh in my mind: it was Thanksgiving night, and we spent Thanksgiving together as we did in previous years, and Roy and I drove back from college together, and when we got out of the car with a beer, we felt that something was wrong, and when your loved ones were in danger, people have that strong instinct.
We rushed into the house and saw the old postman we knew with a big knife and fork cutting turkey, eating my father's intestines, the family was all dead, we couldn't even tell who was who, the floor was covered with guts and blood, Roy and I tried to kill the bastard at that time, but he just waved us off the wall, his eyes were pitch black, no whites, and we realized that he was not the postman we were familiar with at all, but something else.
I desperately managed to get my father's gun in the drawer, but the bullets were useless to that thing, Roy and I could only watch as this bastard ate the internal organs of both families in front of us, and he was torturing us in this way, and finally when the police arrived with a report of the shooting, the old postman spat out a dark fog from his mouth, and the fog fled, leaving the old postman to die quickly, the cause of death was the previous gunshot wound.
The police thought the killer had been brought to justice, they didn't listen to our testimony at all, they thought we were too stimulated and needed to see a psychiatrist, but Roy and I knew that all we needed was knowledge, knowledge of how to get rid of that thing......"
Gu Chen's cigarette was finished, and he looked at John, who was a little excited, and said, "I guess you have already taken revenge." ”
John replied, "Yes, in just two years, we found that bastard and then eliminated him." ”
"Then why do you want to do this? You can go back and live a normal life. ”
John looked up at the sky and said in a firm tone, "Do you need to say this?" Of course, it is to prevent more people from suffering the same misfortune as us. ”
Gu Chen was silent for a long time after hearing this.
Then he said: "I understand, you only participate in Rand's club for convenience, you don't catch ghosts for him at all, so Roy has hidden the clues of his memories from him, and you want to eliminate the ghosts from the beginning." ”
"Gu Chen, I can also see that you, Mr. Yu An, and Lu Ping shouldn't belong here at all, and you are also real hunters."
"Hehe, don't compare me to the two of them, they're hunters, I'm just a doctor."
At this point, Roy surfaced, and he took off his diving goggles and shouted, "Guys, give me a hand." ”
The crowd pulled him ashore, and Shalombas appeared to be the most active, and the fat bearded man asked excitedly as he helped, "How is it?" Are there any big discoveries? ”
Roy went ashore and spat a few mouthfuls of saliva and said: "In addition to silt and aquatic plants, there is only garbage, and the ecological environment is too poor, it is not strange if there is a mutant monster crawling out of this water." ”
Gu Chen said: "Since this is the case, there is basically no problem with my reasoning. ”
John immediately came to his senses: "You already knew that there was nothing underwater? ”
"It's just speculation, I'm here tonight to confirm, you are just about to go into the water, so I didn't stop it."
Roy grumbled, "Well, man, since we did a probe for you for free, should you tell all your secrets and share them?" ”
Gu Chen lit another cigarette, because he was really lazy, and every time he had to explain it, he had to take a puff to refresh himself: "The whole thing went like this, ten years ago, Kang Ling and Zheng Mo circled Li Yi first and then forked, then circled and forked, circled and forked, and circled and forked, in an infinite loop, I won't describe this process to you specifically, lest you have nightmares in the future."
Later, they stuffed the dying Li Yi into the trunk of a red Ferrari, drove to the edge of this pond, threw her in, and prepared to destroy the body, and then they left, so far, I think Roy's memory fragments should also match, right? ”
Roy nodded: "The latter one is completely consistent, but I only have a little impression of the circle fork process you said......"
"Well...... Anyway, after that incident, Kang Ling and Zheng Mo still lived their lives, racing on this mountain, molesting women from good families or something, but they didn't know that Li Yi was actually not dead, she climbed out of the pond that day again, and planned a revenge, in fact, this terrible revenge has continued to this day......"
