8. Another
People know how to make progress, and although I am a person who is indeed a bit of a lazy worker, I am still willing to invest energy in things that interest me, such as ghost things.
After the murder of the souls in March was resolved, Qiao Wei got me a lot of bronze knives as he said before. The knife is as long as the palm of the hand, the willow leaf is wide, don't look at the knife is not big, but the workmanship is very exquisite, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a work of art. Qiao Wei said that a friend of his specializes in wholesale of this thing, and he told me not to worry too much about using it, and I am not afraid of losing it if it is broken.
For half a month after that, I practiced throwing knives at home when I was tired of writing. For this purpose, I also made a target out of plastic foam to replace the small basket that has been hanging on the wall of the study.
Half a month of practice won't make me a knife master, but one thing has made me realize it clearly today - I'm not as afraid of ghosts as I used to be. It would be impossible to say that there was no fear at all, and my heart almost stopped beating the moment I saw the flames gushing out, but I quickly regained my composure.
Facing the fire dog that was about to pounce out of the house, I reached out and pulled out two bronze knives from my jacket pocket as fast as I could, ready to defend myself at any time.
In less than a second, the fire dog had already rushed to the door and jumped high! The jump made its head almost hit the door frame, and its large open mouth was obviously going straight to Qiao Wei's throat. Because it was much closer than before, even though there was still flames wrapped in it, I could still see the guy as he was!
That's a dog, it's clearly a wolf! A gray-haired wolf!!
"Scattered !!"
Qiao Wei suddenly shouted in the sea of fire, and then the fire wolf exploded at the door like fireworks. There was no heat in the scattered flames, even if occasionally a spark fell on me over Qiao Wei's shoulder, my clothes were not ignited, and I was not burned, as if the fire was not real, but just a hallucination.
This is probably the reason why the fire can be seen, but no traces of burning can be found.
As the sparks of Zuihou dissipated, the entire corridor suddenly fell silent and darkened. Now there is no other light source in the hallway except for the voice-activated lights overhead.
Qiao Wei exhaled softly, and I also relaxed, and put the two bronze knives back away.
"How many days can it be honest this time?" I know that this fire wolf has not been destroyed, Qiao Wei just scattered the wolf soul, so that in the next time to find the ghost root, this fire wolf will not come out to harm people again - I have already figured out Qiao Wei's routine of exorcism.
"If nothing else, it should be possible to stop for ten days." Qiao Wei's answer was very cautious, obviously learning the lessons of Wang Dongmei's reunion last time.
"It's not easy to find the root of this wolf in ten days, so let's start with the dog meat restaurant?"
"It's not just a problem that the ghost root is hard to find, but even if it is found, the chance of the transcendent Dharma being effective is only about 20%. Man does not understand the language of beasts, and beasts do not understand human language. ”
Qiao Wei said it very easily, and he didn't frown, so I think he must have a backhand.
Sure enough, Qiao Wei then added that once the ghost root was not found within ten days, or the ghost root was found but the law did not work, then he would gather a few security guards who killed the dog and ate meat into the building, and let the fire wolf take revenge on them. As soon as the ghost grudge is removed, the fire wolf will naturally be removed. Of course, in the process of revenge of the fire wolf, Qiao Wei will be on the side to keep an eye on it to ensure the safety of several security guards.
At first glance, Qiao Wei's two sets of plans before and after seem to be foolproof, and I can see from his expression that he is full of confidence, but I always feel that something is not right, and there is an indescribable sense of disobedience.
Ghost Fire ...... Grey-haired wolf...... Avenge...... I was thinking about the connections in my head, trying to figure out what made me feel out of place.
Two!
It was like a sudden flash of inspiration, and I suddenly thought of something that was wrong. We've already made up our minds that there are two Ghost Fires, but now only one has come out!
"Qiao Wei, what type of attack do you think this wolf belongs to? Was it an indiscriminate attack on the security guards, or was it specifically aimed at Sun Tiefeng? ”
Qiao Wei was stunned for a moment, and couldn't answer my question for a while.
And at this time, the voice-activated lights suddenly went out!
I quickly clapped my hands vigorously, but the lights didn't come on, but the fire lit up in the corner of the hallway! I just saw a little bit of a fire, something blocking most of the fire, and it was like a little trash can in the corner, but the trash in the bin was lit.
"It's a different ......"
I was going to say that it was another ghost fire, but I was only halfway through it, because when I opened my mouth, I exhaled white breath in front of my mouth!
Although April in the Northeast has not yet reached the time when it is really warm, the temperature is already completely above freezing, but now, not only the breath exhaled from my mouth immediately turned into white mist, but I even felt a strong cold current all over my body, and I shivered involuntarily.
Suddenly, the voice-activated light that had just been extinguished lit itself turned on again! Not only the voice-activated lights, but even the elevator doors opened inexplicably, and bursts of children's laughter came from the elevator cabin. All kinds of situations are the same as the strange things that Li Mengjia experienced!
I was about to touch the bronze knife again, but Qiao Wei raised his hand to stop me and shouted, "Biedong!" 10 million biedong! ”
I don't understand what the situation is now, but Qiao Wei's expression is extremely grim, and there is even a sweat on his forehead! This is the first time I've seen this situation in Qiao Wei's body, so I guess that the current situation must not be good. I didn't move at all as Qiao Wei said, not even the fingers I had reached into my jacket pocket.
Qiao Wei and I both remained motionless like wax figures, the air around us was obviously cooling down further, and my collar was frosty.
The elevator door closed on its own after a moment, and then the elevator began to descend automatically, leaving the only way for the two of us to retreat was the stairs.
When the elevator came down to the first floor, the voice-activated lights above my head went out again. It was only extinguished for a few seconds and lit up again, but soon went out again. Everything in front of me was like a slide in front of me under the strobe lights, and I suddenly noticed that a baby's head was poking out of the staircase at some point!
I couldn't tell if the baby was male or female, because he was so small, more of an embryo than a baby! Embryos that crawl on their own!
The lights went out again, the fire in the corner of the hallway was gone, and the whole building was pitch black, except for the child's laughter still echoing in the distance.
Finally, the lights came back again, and I looked at the staircase for the first time, but it was empty. But then I felt something touch my ankle, and I quickly looked down to see that the embryonic baby who had been at the top of the stairs was at my feet at this time, and Xiangshang was holding up his crumpled head, looking like some kind of alien creature!
His eyes couldn't be opened, but they looked like they could stare at me, and his nonchalant mouth had a weird smile.
"Hey, hey, hey~Let's play with us~" The child's laughter, which was still echoing in the distance just now, suddenly came close to my ears, like something was about to get into my head!
