Volume 1, Death Assistant Chapter 78, Bone Broth

My brow furrowed into a big pimple, if I made a list of the most disgusting things I've ever seen, then this pot of soup would definitely be in the top three, not to mention the first!

Floating out of the pot is obviously a cooked baby!

I had to throw the spoon into the pot and quickly retreat to my desk, where I took a few more sips of water to push the nausea down. The two of them stared at me nervously, but neither of them said anything, and they were probably afraid that I would spit it out as soon as I spoke.

After a while, my breath finally eased up, and I nodded at them and said, "I see it, can you two see it now?" ”

The two looked at each other, then shook their heads at me together.

"It's okay, it's better not to see." I shook my head, then raised my hand to signal them to sit down on the couch.

Once I was seated, I asked, "Have you ever encountered anything strange lately?" It's about children. ”

The two looked at each other, and then the man replied, "It's not strange, it's that my son was born just a month ago." Then a few days ago, my daughter-in-law wanted to drink bone broth, so I boiled a big pot of soup for him, and who knew that when the pot was turned over, a child's head would come out. Isn't that unlucky? My son is now under the watchful eye of his grandfather, and he really doesn't dare to let him live at home anymore. ”

"It's unlucky to say that the key is what's in your soup...... You said boiled bone broth, where did you buy the bones? What bone? I asked.

"It's pork bones, and if you buy them in the fresh meat wholesale market, they're ordinary pork ribs." The man said.

"Has anything like this ever happened before? Did you have any weird dreams when you were pregnant? Or which of the two of you has done something out of the ordinary? I asked.

The woman's expression changed noticeably when I mentioned the unusual behavior, and she glanced at her man, but did not dare to speak.

"Your daughter-in-law seems to have something to say." I said.

The man's expression also became very complicated, he lowered his head and held his mouth as if he was a little embarrassed, and as if he was engaged in a fierce mental struggle. After a long while, he finally sighed as if he had made up his mind, and then said, "There are no strange dreams, but when my daughter-in-law was pregnant, there was a quarrel in the family, and it was quite unpleasant. ”

"You two had a fight?" I asked.

"It's not!" The man shook his head, "It's my mother and my daughter-in-law." ”

It should be a common thing for mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to quarrel, but seeing the reactions of these two people, there seems to be something else hidden, so I hurriedly raised my hand and motioned for him to continue.

The man sighed again, and then said: "My daughter-in-law is pregnant and needs to be taken care of at home, I am usually busy with work and can't take a break, and then she is still a single parent, and my father brought her up, I thought about asking my mother to come over and help take care of her, but my mother and her ...... My mom she's ...... She hit my daughter-in-law and hit her in the stomach for no reason. But as soon as I came home, she forgot about the beating, and I don't know if it was deliberately pretended to show me, or if she had some kind of illness. "The pit is dead.

"Really hit?" I asked, skeptically.

"What a fight! I couldn't believe it when I first heard my daughter-in-law tell me, but she showed me the injuries on my body, and my arms and thighs were all pinched, and when I came back the next day, my daughter-in-law's face was swollen. Then I sent my mother back to my hometown, and I didn't dare to tell anyone about it, for fear of ...... Fear...... I'm afraid my mom is crazy and will be arrested and taken to a mental hospital. ”

"Didn't take her to check it out?" I asked.

"I checked, there was no problem, I also asked her why she beat my daughter-in-law, she said that she didn't beat at all, and it was too late to feel distressed, how could she beat someone. But after this happened, my family has been quite stable, and I haven't thought too much about it. The man replied.

"So, apart from this baby soup and your mother beating your daughter-in-law for no reason, there's nothing else wrong, right?" I finally confirmed.

The two of them looked at each other for a moment, then nodded at me together.

"On the other floors, are there any strange things in the neighbors' houses? Or someone has recently moved? I asked again.

"Like...... I haven't heard of it. The man thought for a moment, then replied.

"Okay, I see. So, you two go to the place where you bought the ribs before, go buy some more, and boil another pot of soup in the evening. I'll go to your house in the evening to see what the hell is getting into the pot. I said.

"You're going to visit my house?" The man was surprised, and at the same time a little embarrassed.

"Worried about money?" I asked.

The man smiled embarrassedly and nodded, "My monthly salary is two thousand and a half, and the house is a down payment paid by my mother, and now my monthly salary is ......"

I hurriedly waved my hand to signal that he didn't need to continue.

The man was stunned for a moment, and the expression on his face became complicated.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not going to ignore your family's affairs, you should buy bones and buy bones, do everything I just said, you two will leave this matter to me, I won't charge you two a cent for the money, but there is also a condition for this matter."

"Okay, okay, Master." The man nodded hurriedly.

"I don't take any money from you, and you are not allowed to tell anyone, including your parents. I don't want my kindness to help me make it impossible for me to continue my business. Can it be done? I asked with a stern expression.

"Yes! Yes, yes! We promise not to tell anyone! Is...... Thank you so much, thank you so much! The man thanked me again and again.

I hurriedly signaled that they didn't need to thank them anymore, and after leaving their addresses, I asked Wang Shan to send them away.

In the afternoon, I made some simple preparations, and after work, I rushed to the couple's house, just as the ribs were chopped and the ingredients were ready, just waiting for me to be in place. As soon as I entered the house, the man immediately lit a fire and boiled water and began to boil the soup.

Before going upstairs, I deliberately looked at the feng shui of this community. Generally, those who do real estate believe in feng shui, and they will invite people to come to see it before building a building, and they must worship God with incense before breaking the ground, so the feng shui of the new community in recent years is very particular. The community where they live was opened in the first half of this year, and although feng shui is not auspicious, at least there are no mistakes or disadvantages.

However, his unit, floor, and door number are not very good. His house is Building 3, Unit 3, 3rd Floor, Gate 303. The so-called "two more reputation, five more merit, four more fear, three more fierce", although I am not too superstitious about this, but the whole building is just about their family accident, others live well, here seems to be a little said.

I thought about this in my heart, but I didn't say it, because Zhou Yiliuyao's things can only be approximate, but they can't catch the root of the disease, the child who is cooked in the pot, and the old lady who beats people for no reason...... The inauspiciousness of the floor is only a secondary cause at best, and the root cause must be the ghost.

The bones quickly came out of the pot, and after an hour, the aroma came out.

It just so happened that I came directly after work in the evening, and now I am hungry, if his house is not haunted today, I will not come in vain, and it is not bad to eat a big bone and then leave.

While thinking about this, I also chatted with the male host: "You are a good cook, a chef?" ”

"It's not." The man waved his hand and smiled, "I am an accountant, and my father taught me to cook, my father told me since I was a child, cooking is good, and my daughter-in-law is not difficult to find, this makes sense now that I think about it, my daughter-in-law just ate the dishes I cooked, and then died for me." ”

After saying that, the two of them also showed their affection in front of me, and it seemed that when I came, they were relieved.

"Really?" I smiled and looked at the woman, but I looked away from the woman's face for a moment, because a vague shadow appeared not far behind her. The shadow was round, perhaps because the mistress of the house had just given birth, and I immediately associated the shadow with the pregnant woman.

The two of them couldn't see this, and were still laughing and talking, while I cooperated with them, and continued to watch the ghost's movements.

It doesn't make any superfluous movements, it just stands in place, and its form is always blurred, and it has no figurative meaning. This makes me feel strange, as if the soul left there is not complete, just a shadow. But if that's the case, then where has the other part of its soul gone?

"The bathroom is that, isn't it?" I got up and pointed to a closed door on the edge of the living room.

"Yes." The hostess nodded in response, and as she spoke, the pregnant woman's shadow behind her moved.

I still didn't alarm the two of them, but quickly walked to the bathroom and glanced at it. The bathroom was very clean, at least visually there were no ghosts. I took out the rune paper from my arms, then silently recited a spell to open the rune paper, and then found an open space to set up a rune array - in case something unexpected happened, I could let these two people hide in the rune array, and I could let go of it without worries.

When the talisman was ready, I opened the door and walked out, and at the same time as I came out, I also found that the ghost shadow of the pregnant woman was almost attached to the back of the hostess of the house, and the shadow stretched out two hands and grabbed the mistress's ears, and the shadow's head also stretched forward, forming a huge black hole, like an exaggerated mouth to swallow the mistress!

I can't pretend to be calm anymore when I see this.

"Get down!" I yelled at the woman, then shook my hand and threw a talisman at the shadow.

The hostess heard my shout, but she was so frightened that she had no intention of lying down. Fortunately, my rune paper was in place in time, and the shadow was also swept back to the wall. I ran a few steps after it, and reached out to grab the shadow, but the shadow suddenly disappeared into the wall, leaving me scratched into the air.
