Volume 1, Death Assistant Chapter 99, The Haunted Glass House
Throughout the day, Hu Yang and I have been inquiring about the situation in Laodao Lane, especially about the Lili Hanfu wholesale store.
This small shop used to be a humble small storefront, and the owner of the shop was a young woman named Wang Lixin, hence the name Lili. Last year, Wang Lixin suddenly quit and cashed out the shop, and the new owner redecorated the shop and added equipment, which became the current "glass house". It seems that because of licenses, industrial and commercial registration, etc., the name Lili Hanfu has also been used.
I also made a point to inquire about whether anything strange had happened in Old Knife Lane recently, especially at night. But there was no worthy answer - it had always been peaceful, not to mention any strange things, not even thieves and the like.
After the sun went down, poplar and I casually found a casual drink bar. I wrote him a set of Eight Yang Mantras and then taught him a few of the simplest Mudras of Enlightenment, and he memorized the mantras while practicing the mudras, while I read magazines and drank to kill time.
At half past eleven o'clock in the evening, the guests at the bar were basically empty, and I thought this time period was about the same, so I went out with Hu Yang to Lili Hanfu.
The streets were deserted, and the snow on the side of the road reflected the light of the street lamps, casting a pale yellow halo on the ground. Lili Hangui pulls the metal sliding door, and the street lamp in front of the store illuminates the metal door.
I figured that there would be no surveillance on this kind of dirty street, so I asked Hu Yang to help me control the wind, and I went straight to the main entrance and took the master key to open the lock of the sliding door.
I slowly pulled the door up, trying not to make too much noise, and just as the door was pulled up a foot high, a face suddenly poked out from under the door! The face was tattered, stitched together with countless pieces of skin, as if it had been patched with flesh, and black blood was oozing out around the sutures.
The face appeared a little suddenly, and although it didn't scare me, it made me pull the door in motion. I stared at that face, and that face looked back at me as well, and at the same time there was a shallow yin qi seeping out from the surroundings of that face.
"Brother Le! Someone's coming! Poplar whispered at the corner of the street.
The patched face immediately glanced in the direction of the poplar, then shrunk its head back with a swish. I quickly pulled the sliding door up, but in front of me were two floor-to-ceiling glass doors that closed tightly. Burst of garbage.
I didn't have to go into the store, I could see through the two glass doors, and now there were no models standing in the whole window of the store, not even the inside of the house!
"Brother Le, the man is gone, should we go in?" Hu Yang asked me in a low voice on the street corner.
"I'll go in for a while, you wait outside!" I answered, then quickly unlocked the glass door and dodged into the room.
The room was cold and gloomy, and I could clearly see that there was still a remnant of yin in the corner of the house by the light from the street outside. I chased the yin qi to the back room, but there was nothing in the room except for the costume, and the female ghost with the patched face from before didn't appear.
I looked at the table below, and it was 11:55 a.m., and there were five more ways to get my distress message every day.
I don't know if it's because of the injury to my left arm, I always feel a little panicked, and my heart is still unsteady, and this bottomless feeling has become more and more severe as time goes by, and I can even hear my own heartbeat clearly.
5 minutes is not too long, and finally, 12 o'clock in the middle of the night arrived! I stood in the middle of the back room, vigilantly watching for the noises in the room, but it was as quiet as ever.
Suddenly, the sound of clockwork bells sounded in the room, followed by the continuous cries of mechanical cuckoos "cuckoo" and "cuckoo". I followed the voice and saw an old-fashioned wall clock on the wall, which I had never seen when I came in before!
As the bell rang, the yin qi in the room suddenly rose, and several women with full body ** came out of the surrounding walls one after another, and the skins on these women were all spliced and stitched together, like a lot of shoddy human skin dolls!
I hurriedly scattered the talisman paper around me, and then made the talisman seal of the nine-character mantra in a very awkward posture.
These female ghosts, whose faces were covered in patches, walked around the house, touching and touching, their movements mechanical and stiff, like puppets.
One of the female ghosts came towards me with her face raised.
The face was terrifying, the skin on the face was twisted and sewn together, and the place where it should have been the eyes was covered by two square pieces of skin, and there were two buttons sewn on it, and I could even see the threads on the buttonholes! Her two lips are also sewn together by thick black threads!
She walked up to me and sniffed vigorously with her nose raised, as if she were smelling me. I held my breath and stood still, the eyeless female ghost sniffed a few times and then turned to the side, I don't know if they were intentional or coincidental, anyway, none of the ghosts stepped on the rune paper I threw on the ground.
The clock rang 12 times quickly, and when the mechanical cuckoo retracted into the bell, the patched female ghosts in the room also dispersed like smoke, leaving only a layer of thick yin qi like black smoke on the ground.
I quickly bent down to pick up the rune paper on the ground, and then walked over to the wall clock to take a closer look, the clock was vague and didn't feel real, but I could still touch it when I reached over. The pendulum moved from side to side in the glass case, but I couldn't hear it, but my eyes were drawn to the only thing that could move.
My face was reflected in the outer glass of the pendulum, and suddenly, I noticed another person standing behind me, who was not tall, only the upper half of his face was high above my shoulders, and it was a woman with bangs!
I quickly turned around, but the woman had already run to the front hall, I ran after her, but I only saw the shaking glass door, when I chased out of the store, the only person I could see outside was Hu Yang standing on the corner of the street, but unfortunately he was looking at the wind with his back to the door of the store, and he didn't seem to notice what was happening here.
"Populus! Come here! I yelled at him.
Populus immediately ran over.
"Did you see a woman running out just now?" I asked.
Hu Yang shook his head, "Could it be a ghost?" ”
"It's not! It's people! "I say for sure.
Hu Yang looked around again, then pouted and shook his head, "I didn't notice." ”
"Forget it, it's fine." I waved at him.
Then I remembered the message, so I took out my mobile phone and looked at it on the Internet, and to my surprise, the doll left me a message again, this time with only one word: pain.
"It hurts?" Hu Yang looked at my phone and repeated the message.
I think I can understand the meaning of this message! If the people who sent me this distress letter were the female ghosts with patches all over their faces, then they did have a reason to cry out in pain, and they were only able to act for a dozen seconds at a time when the clock struck 12 o'clock at midnight, and they really didn't have the opportunity to say much or do too much in their state.
The question is is is there a computer in that room?
I didn't really pay attention to it at the time.
Thinking of this, I immediately returned to the house. There is indeed a computer in the back room, but the power is turned off, and the plugs are unplugged.
According to my guess, there should be traces of logging in to the Leyitang website on this computer, but Hu Yang looked for a long time, and finally shook his head at me.
"None? Are you sure? "I'm a little skeptical.
"Definitely not! Viagra has taught me a lot in terms of computers, and I must be good at finding traces of the Internet as a pediatric skill, no one has ever been on our Leyitang website, at least not on this computer. Hu Yang said.
"Is it possible that it was just deleted?" I asked.
"Even if I delete it, I can restore it, but I definitely don't." Hu Yang replied in the affirmative.
I motioned for him to turn off the computer, and then I looked around the room again, and when Hu Yang turned off the computer, I asked him to help me look for it, and see if there was any secret door in the room, or a basement or something. But we searched for almost 20 minutes, but we still didn't find it, and I noticed that the wall clock had disappeared from the wall.
It's too troublesome to go back to the hotel, so after leaving the hanfu shop, we found a small hotel nearby to make do with one night, and the next morning we came to Lili Hanfu opposite early. When the sissy clerk came and opened the sliding door, a strange situation happened, and the models who had disappeared yesterday stood up again, and even their posture seemed to be the same as yesterday's daytime.
I looked at the models from afar, and I was so surprised that I couldn't speak for a long time. At that moment, I suddenly saw a person in the store looking at me through the glass.
It was a woman with bangs, wearing a beige long coat, and she was in the store!
I quickly ran across the street to the door of the store, then pushed the sissy away and rushed into the store. But the woman who was behind the glass was now gone, and I ran to the back of the store, and there was no living person in the back except for the model or the clothes.
Did I read it wrong? No way!
"Handsome guy, what do you mean by pushing people like this? What exactly are you looking for? The sissy man chased after me and kept asking questions behind me.
"I'm looking for a woman, about 1.6 meters, with bangs, and a gray coat! It's right in your shop! I turned back to the sissy man.
"What...... What the? Don't scare anyone! The sissy man clasped his hands to his chest in a frightened motion.
"Do you know who she is?" I hurriedly asked.
"Of course I know, she is Wang Lixin, the previous owner here, but she had an accident."
"What's wrong?" I asked again.
"I heard that she seems to have entered some kind of cult, and then left a suicide note, and I heard that it seems to have committed suicide." The sissy replied.
Cults, suicide notes, suicides, death assistants...... A terrible thought popped into my head, that so-called cult might be a suicide alliance!
