"That's it!"

After killing the dry corpse and the headless ghost, I also told the news to Xiao Guo on the other end of the phone as soon as possible.

"It's the same as what I said, it's easy to deal with zombies, but it's hard to deal with meat zombies, that thing is too strong, five or six people together may not be able to control it, you can only use charms to control it, but you definitely can't do it."

"Let's put the zombie thing aside and talk about the symbol, what is that?" I shifted the conversation from me to what I cared about.

"Your encounter with the dry corpse has something to do with that symbol." Xiao Guo replied: "I still remember the Three Halls Soul Gathering Array I told you before, this is very similar to the Soul Gathering Array, but it is much older than the Soul Gathering Array, simply put, it is the talisman array that people used to make ghost soldiers more than two thousand years ago. ”

"Does this have anything to do with the years? Isn't this thing of yin and yang spells all passed down from ancient times to the present? I wondered.

"Absolutely! Nothing will be static, and the same is true of Dao Yin and Yang, just like what Ye Hong gave you and what Qiao Wei gave you, which is very revealing. But the rune array is a bit special, the older the thing, the more powerful, but the more unstable the effect. The runic array you sent me can summon souls and lock souls, but it's rather chaotic. ”

"Can it be so chaotic that an axe becomes a ghost?" I asked.

"Actually, that's what it's used for in the most basic way. Have you ever heard of the word Horcrux? ”

"Harry Potter?"

"It's not! How to say it, this is also a kind of borrowing corpse to return the soul, but it is not a borrowed corpse, but a borrowed object. There is a saying that the weapons used by ancient generals would condense the souls of the people he killed, and through some spells, they could use this weapon to resurrect the generals, and at the same time, the souls condensed on the weapons could be dispersed to other containers. Legend has it that Zhang Jiao of the Yellow Turban Army used this spell to create ghost soldiers to fight at night, and it was difficult for the army to resist. ”

"If a serial killer has hacked more than thirty people to death with an axe, and after he dies, someone uses the rune you mentioned on his axe, will that axe become a Horcrux? And then the serial killer who slashed people will be resurrected with this Horcrux, right? I asked following Xiao Guo's words.

Xiao Guo then gave me a very positive reply: "Absolutely!" ”

"But the dead serial killer who used the axe has already done a transcendent ritual for him, and it was I who didn't succeed?" I continued to ask.

"I can't say this well, but even if you succeed, it's useless. This rune array is like a teleportation array that teleports souls, and the Horcruxes will be entangled with a lot of undead souls, and any one of the revenants will be transmitted to another rune array through an axe, and the soul will be regenerated on the spot where the rune is located. This rune array is an earth array, and fire is needed to open the array, and those places where the accident occurred are likely to have been drawn in advance, and as long as the fire starts, it will lead to a severed ghost. Xiao Guo explained.

"So these fire decapitation cases are not a coincidence at all, and someone has set up a bureau in advance?"

"Hmm. The range of influence of this rune array is quite wide, and it does not necessarily work on the fire point, so it is said that it is unstable, if you want to find this rune array, you have to look for a radius of two hundred meters around the fire point, I guess it should be found! ”

"I see. Now Chen Mu is gone, but there are other revenants on the axe, and those revenants use the axe to cut off people's heads instead of Chen Mu, and continue to do what Chen Mu is used to, right? ”

"That's right! Unless you can overkill all the souls on the axe, or simply destroy the rune array on the axe, the rune array on the axe is the main array, and the others should be secondary arrays, and if you break the axe, it will be eradicated. ”

The information and advice given by Xiao Guo are enough for me, and whether I choose to overkill the soul or destroy the rune array, there is only one thing I have to do - find the axe engraved with the rune array.

After hanging up the phone, I also told Tang Hui what Xiao Guo told me, and Tang Hui also reported these words to Lei Qishan as a setter. There is no doubt that the person who carved the talisman on the coffin and the handle of the axe is Chen Mu's son, whether intentionally or unintentionally, he must know the whereabouts of the axe, so Lei Qishan said that he would go to Wang Qiang to talk to him first, and strive to solve this trouble as soon as possible.

Tang Hui and I immediately began to destroy the talisman array on the coffin's head, and put all the bones that had been smashed by the two of us back into the grave, and then buried the soil again. After the aftermath was completed, we immediately drove back to the city, and when we came downstairs to Wang Qiang's house again, it was already ten o'clock at night.

There was a police car parked at the entrance of Wang Qiang's house, there was no one in the car, and it seemed that the policemen who came over were still upstairs.

Tang Hui and I hurriedly got out of the car and ran upstairs, and when we arrived at the door of Wang Qiang's house, Tang Hui went directly over and slammed the door hard.

After only six slams, the door opened, and it was a woman who opened the door for us, she looked at Tang Hui nervously and then at me, and then she stepped back without saying a word, obviously motioning for me and Tang Hui to go in.

I glanced into the room from the door, Lei Qishan and another police officer were sitting on the sofa in the living room, and Wang Qiang was sitting opposite Lei Qishan.

Wang Qiang held his head in both hands, I couldn't see his face, but it seemed that he was in pain.

After Tang Hui and I entered the room, Wang Qiang immediately raised his head and looked at me, his face was very bad, and his expression also gave me a feeling of confusion and confusion.

"What's wrong with him?" I pointed to Wang Qiang and asked Lei Qishan.

"He doesn't remember going back to the village to buy a coffin, and we searched the whole house, and there was really nothing, no coffin and no axe."

"No?!" I turned my head to look at Wang Qiang and said, "Where did you put the axe?" Hurry up! I don't have time to grind my teeth with you here! ”

Wang Qiang still raised his head with a distressed face and said, "I don't know what you're talking about, what axe coffin, I haven't done anything!" ”

"Less garlic! We've just returned from your dad's grave, and you've turned him into a zombie! Don't tell me you don't know this rune! As he spoke, I also held up the photo of the rune array taken by my mobile phone in front of Wang Qiang.

Wang Qiang was stunned the moment he saw my mobile phone screen, his two eyes were glued to my mobile phone, and after a long time, he said, "I...... I've seen this pattern, it's on my father's coffin, but I didn't really engrave it, I remember it as if I had it when I bought it. ”

"Good! Quite able to make it up! So how do you explain that you went back to the village in the middle of the night to buy the coffin? I asked.

"I haven't been there, I came back from the village yesterday and went home directly, my wife can testify."

I immediately turned my head to look at the woman who had opened the door for me and Tang Hui. The woman also nodded immediately: "My husband didn't lie, he came back at four o'clock last night, and then he didn't leave the house until he went to work this morning." ”

"And what about after you fall asleep? Are you sure he didn't sneak out? ”

"This ......" Wang Qiang's wife was speechless, but her eyes only drifted to the side for less than a second before she looked directly at me and said: "I believe that Wang Qiang will not do anything bad, he is a good man, a good husband and a good father, you must have made a mistake!" ”

Wang Qiang's wife's attitude is unusually resolute, but this does not change my suspicion of Wang Qiang.

Just as I was about to change the target of the inquiry back to Wang Qiang, Tang Hui came from behind me and gently patted me on the shoulder, and whispered to me: "Could it be that the person in the village lied to you, he was afraid that you wanted to take the coffin back, so he lied to you." ”

Tang Hui's words also reminded me, as if this really made sense, if Wang Qiang didn't want the secret of the coffin to be discovered, he didn't need to leave the coffin to the people in the village at all.

"Why don't we go back to the village and ask?" I proposed to Tang Hui.

"I'll just go myself, I'll take this gun and use it first."

Tang Hui had just proposed to act separately, but Lei Qishan's mobile phone rang at this time!

It's ten o'clock in the middle of the night, and the sudden ringing of a criminal police captain's mobile phone always makes me feel that this is not a good sign.

Sure enough, Lei Qishan's brows suddenly furrowed after picking up the phone.

"Hmmm! Well! Got it, I'll be there right away! After Lei Qishan finished the short call, he immediately looked at me with a stern expression and said, "Something happened again!" This time it was a bungalow in the far suburbs, and five people were beheaded. ”
