2. Hit ghosts
Zhu Yue's disappointment did not immediately manifest itself on her face.
She has been the editor of a supernatural magazine for a long time, in fact, at least 80% of the stories published in the magazine are not ghosts at all, and as long as the story is twisty enough, bizarre enough, and has a supernatural atmosphere, this is enough, so Zhu Yue did not give up because of the judgment of the god of fortune.
She came to the girl's bed and sat down, and then said in a gentle tone: "Hello, my name is Zhu Yue, can you tell me what your name is?" ”
The girl on the bed moved, but she didn't answer Zhu Yue's question.
"My daughter's name is Zhou Qian, you can call her Qianqian." The curly-haired mother replied in place of her daughter.
Zhu Yue didn't actually need to know the girl's name, she just wanted to use this simple question to achieve an ice-breaking effect, and now it seems that this trick doesn't seem to have much effect.
"Zhou Qian, this name is very good, can I also call you Qianqian?" Zhu Yue asked as she tentatively put her hand on the quilt.
At the moment when Zhu Yue's hand touched the quilt, the girl suddenly screamed "ah", and then curled up her body as if she had been electrocuted, and hid in the corner of the wall at the head of the bed, and the quilt was wrapped tighter, and the hair that was originally exposed from the quilt was all wrapped into the quilt this time.
"Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you, I'm here to help you."
"Don't come here~! Get away from me~~! ”
The girl finally spoke, and this time she didn't scream again, but the horror in her voice didn't diminish in the slightest.
Zhu Yue has encountered similar situations many times, many people who think they are ghosts, especially girls, most of them will have similar reactions to Zhou Qian, and Zhu Yue also knows very well what to do in the face of this situation.
She didn't touch the quilt on the girl's body again, but kept a distance of about two meters from the girl on the bed and said: "I know you have encountered something, I can really help you, if you see anything incomprehensible, you can tell me, I am an expert in this area." Whether it's a ghost or a monster, I can help you solve it! ”
Zhu Yue said very confidently, although half of what he said was false.
The girl still didn't respond immediately, and Zhu Yue didn't urge again, but walked to the bedroom window and opened the curtain completely.
Although the northeast at the end of March is not as warm as the south, it also bids farewell to the bitter cold of winter, especially on sunny days, standing by the window and bathing in the warm spring sun is definitely an extremely comfortable thing. Zhu Yue opened a ventilation window, and then took a deep breath of the fresh air outside.
"You should also come here to breathe, the sun is very haode outside, ghosts are most afraid of the sun, but dark places are more likely to hit ghosts. If you're afraid of ghosts, then you should get out of the bed and stand under the sun by the window, and I'll protect you. Zhu Yue said.
This time Zhu Yue's words seemed to have played some role, and the girl did not show strong resistance, but slowly took off the quilt that had been covering her head.
The girl is not pretty, maybe she hasn't eaten or exercised for too long, her cheeks are very sunken, her cheekbones are bulging outward, and her two eye sockets are even darker.
"Don't be afraid, you see, there are no ghosts here, the weather is good, you should feel better when you come to the window to bask in the sun." Zhu Yue said to the girl with a smile.
The girl sat on the bed and hesitated for a moment, then looked at her mother again.
The woman with broken curly hair hurriedly nodded to her daughter and said, "Listen...... Listen to that sister and go to the window. ”
The mother's words seemed to reassure the girl a lot, she moved the quilt to the side, and then tried to get from the bed to the floor, but she was about to stand up when she almost fell due to the unstable center of gravity. The curly-haired woman hurried over to hold the girl, and then helped her to the window.
The sun shone on the girl's body, and the girl's nervous expression suddenly eased a lot.
Zhu Yue also reached over again at this time and tried to touch the girl's long hair that was scattered on her back, the girl's body trembled, but this time she didn't shout or dodge.
"Nothing is going to hurt you here, you're safe at home, day or night, trust me, you're safe here."
Zhu Yue carefully chose her words, she did not mention people, nor did she mention ghosts, but chose a more vague word - things.
The girl didn't react to Zhu Yue's words immediately, she seemed to prefer to bask in the sun quietly, she could feel calm and safe here, although most of the reason was from Zhu Yue's inner hint to her, but such a result was undoubtedly what Zhu Yue was very willing to see.
Zhu Yue stood by the window with the girl for about five minutes, although the girl's face did not improve, her expression was obviously much stronger than when she just got out of bed, at least her sense of fear was reduced a lot.
"Can you tell me what you saw?" Zhu Yue tried to guide the girl.
The girl's whole body visibly shook, and her expression, which had been eased, instantly became tense again, and this strong resistance was obviously not suitable for answering sensitive questions.
Zhu Yue knew very well that if he continued to ask, there would be no results, and he was even likely to bury the good progress he had just made back. So she stroked the girl's hair and said: "It's okay, if you don't want to say it, you don't need to say it, and you don't have to recall, you just need to remember that you are safe at home, and your family will take good care of you, and when you are willing to go out, you will go out and have a look, and then you will find that it is not as dangerous as you think." ”
The girl nodded slightly, then fell silent again.
Zhu Yue smiled at the girl, then turned around and pulled the woman outside the room and whispered to her: "Your daughter's condition is not very stable, but one thing I can be sure of is that she is definitely not a ghost, but she has encountered some terrible things, and what she needs now is not the magic of exorcism, but the care of her family." If possible, I think you should go to a good psychiatrist. ”
The curly-haired woman was completely stunned, she clearly did not believe that such a statement could come from the mouth of a man who made a living as an exorcist. Of course, she didn't know that Zhu Yue didn't know how to exorcise demons, nor did she know any spells, Zhu Yue was just a fanatical supernatural lover, an ordinary person.
Without an exorcism, Zhu Yue naturally would not receive any remuneration from the Broken Curly Woman, but the Broken Lady still expressed her gratitude to Zhu Yue very sincerely, after all, it was Zhu Yue who let the Broken Curly Woman's child get off the bed, and her mood seemed to improve a lot.
However, Zhu Yue didn't plan to stop there.
What was Zhou Qian afraid of, what happened when she was playing with her classmates, these questions Zhu Yue planned to figure out no matter what, so before leaving, she also asked the curly-haired woman for the contact information of Zhou Qian's classmates, she planned to visit a few more to see the situation of those people's homes, maybe someone among Zhou Qian's classmates would be willing to say something to her.
