Chapter 18: Ghost Stories I've Heard
I was startled by the sudden appearance of the crowd and the rain of blood, and then I looked back at the puppet in my hand, which by this time had long since lost its smooth and delicate surface, and the filthy and smelly skin was sewn together with a crude technique, while flat paper figures kept falling from its back.

The blood rain in the sky gradually poured up, and I threw the puppet on the ground and stepped on it with my feet uneasily, and then held up the oil umbrella again. The ninja's neck twisted at an uncanny angle and made a crackling sound, and a moment later he stared at me again with his whites of his eyes and a muttered voice, "Die!" ”
I snorted coldly and glanced at the people around me, all of them were twenty-four or five-year-old men, all staring at me with their eyes open and white, without a trace of blood on their faces, their backs slightly bent and their mouths whining beast-like sounds from time to time.
The puppet gradually deflated, and the ninja's eyes flashed a strange red light, and then slashed at it, while the surrounding crowd all landed on the ground with their hands and feet at the same time, roaring like a pack of hungry wolves. The bones that were originally scattered on the ground and the bone armor that originally covered my shoulders quickly pieced together a complete bone armor on my body, and the color changed from white to jade, and then the nine babies who did not open their eyes quickly merged together into a painting and fell between my hands.
I looked at the painting quietly, there were nine babies with different expressions, standing or crawling in a circle, there seemed to be something faintly painted in the middle but I didn't know why I couldn't see it clearly, the background seemed to be a faint scenery covered by mountains and rivers, and there was a row of small black dots in the sky.
I didn't have time to savor the charm of the painting, and hurriedly dodged the oncoming sword, the wind brought by the knife was more violent than before, but the movement was relatively slow, I flashed to the side and found that the ninja at this moment was not only slow but also stiff, and then the painting in my hand suddenly came to the consciousness: Thank you Engong for the rescue, if it weren't for Engong having a spell-breaking secret weapon in his hand, we would have become blood slave puppets.
Then they continued to come to their senses: the ninja who appeared here at this moment is an executor codenamed Blood Slave, and there is a master codenamed Moon God on it, and they work together for a mysterious organization called Metropolis, which consists of one god, four divisions, and eight kings, among which the master of the blood slave is one of the four parts of the Wind Flower Snow Moon.
And this blood girl plan is also a huge plan secretly decided by the metropolis since the end of the Anti-Japanese War, they first searched around China for historical prostitutes or strange women related objects that meet the requirements, and then finally screened and decided on four samples, and then deliberately created a massacre to accumulate a huge corpse grudge, and finally except for this blood girl, the other three were sealed one after another.
After that, although they withdrew from China, they secretly sent carefully cultivated important personnel to take root in China and secretly look for opportunities, this time it was originally a blood girl who was preparing to recover the first stage, and then slowly cultivated relevant female puppets to infiltrate the government after absorbing a sufficient amount of Yang Yuan.
It's a pity that due to my inadvertent stepping, the plan is basically aborted, although there are still three backup plans, but the blood Mei Niang is the most perfect cultivation, and it was the most core step in the whole plan, if it weren't for the fact that the four departments of one god within the organization are in retreat recently, I'm afraid I don't know how to die now.
I carefully dodged the attacks of the stiff ninjas, and asked them if they had any other wishes or anything like that, and after they were silent, they came back to their senses: the painting they were depositing was a treasure given by a wandering Taoist priest when they discovered the pit earlier, and they could use it to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and when they could get rid of all their resentment, they could leave safely, and the resentment they had left in the painting could also be used as a means of attack.
And they can't initiate attacks on their own, so they can only find someone who can resist the erosion of resentment, and when I resisted the illusion of the blood girl, they found that I don't seem to be affected by resentment, so they decided to help me resist the blood slaves, and also let me help them get rid of the grudge entanglement sooner.
Then, as they had described, I picked up the broken puppet on the ground again, dipped my hand in the blood on its face, and then scribbled some strange words along their visible mark in the center of the painting. As I finished writing, the green mist they had held up for me gradually dissipated, and I saw the ninja and the stiff group of people in formation.
"The person who attacked the back of the ninja with that painting, that's the eye of this formation!" Kenichi suddenly came to a consciousness. So I held the umbrella and carefully dodged and slowly approached the ninja, and the ninja seemed to notice it, and clung to the person behind him and carefully guarded.
"Rotate the umbrella diagonally towards your right eyebrow, then throw the painting over your right shoulder!" A strange consciousness suddenly came, I quickly followed these two movements, only to see the raindrops spinning out of the umbrella quickly into the ninja's eyes, he subconsciously made a blocking action with a knife, and did not think that the person behind him just made a forward posture.
The nine babies in the painting suddenly opened their eyes in unison, and then the blood words I wrote just now all emitted red light and instantly pierced the person's body, only to see a short body covered in blood and fell to the ground, the hole in the body was not only bleeding but also constantly smoking, as the person convulsed on the ground in pain, the ninja and the rest of the people suddenly stopped moving, like a wax statue frozen.
"What's wrong? What did I hit out here? I muttered to myself, "It should be the real puppeteer you inadvertently beat, it should be the real mastermind behind this guy dressed as a ninja, this ninja is also pathetic enough, I'm afraid he never thought that he would have become someone else's puppet a long time ago!" Wang Modao's familiar voice came from behind him.
I looked back at him in some surprise and said, "Huh? Why are you here, I remember you weren't going to go to that land and water meeting or something. ”
He smiled and responded: "Actually, it's a coincidence, this time I got together with a few senior brothers, and suddenly sensed that the energy fluctuations in Hangzhou were abnormal, so I came over to take a look, but I didn't expect to see the scene of your might, tsk, that's amazing, it's really worthy of the man I value!" ”
I snorted and then pointed to the short guy and asked, "Phew, who's the man you value, who is talking like he's doing it, I don't have that much taste." By the way, how do you solve this? ”
Wang Modao walked over and squatted down to check it and said: "This is just a dwarf, but the puppet technique is extremely good, then again, the puppeteer can actually be regarded as a variant of shadow puppetry, but it was developed after Dongying introduced it and cooperated with the mechanism technique, but unfortunately this puppeteer was beaten to death by your stupid boy and the master, hey, but since it is a ghost of Dongying, I will take it back and hand it over to the master to deal with." After saying that, he took out a small porcelain vase and read a few words silently, only to see the dwarf rolled into the bottle like a piece of cloth.
Then he took the umbrella and the painting in my hand and looked at it and said: "It was originally just an ordinary oil umbrella, but now it is contaminated with the strong intention of the original owner, and it has experienced the blood curse with the original owner, and it has become a ghost weapon that grows with the growth of the yin spirit, maybe it can come in handy in the future; As for this painting, it is actually just a relatively ordinary treasure, just because there are nine baby spirits in it plus this exorcism spell, and when these nine baby spirits dissipate their grievances, they will become ordinary psychic paintings. ”
Then he listened to me briefly talk about what I had experienced before, and when I finished speaking, he said solemnly to me: "It seems that the hidden danger left by the snake demon in your body has basically been erased, but there must be a more powerful existence in your body, and it is far from being able to deal with it, because I have not even been aware of its existence, and it seems that you have the probability of voluntarily triggering the consciousness of the surrounding spirits to detect certain things." ”
After the two of us chatted with each other for a while, then he answered the phone and said goodbye first, I looked around at the ground spread out, only then did I find that those people were lying strangely and there was no sign of breathing, I looked at a few random and found that everyone had more or less corpse spots, and there was gradually a rancid smell on their bodies.
At this moment, the sky showed a long-lost sunshine quietly caressing this land full of blood, resentment and intrigue, reflecting the red clods, which looked particularly eye-catching, I closed my eyes and took a deep breath, feeling that my heart finally bid farewell to the heavy sense of depression, but it is a pity that there are still many unknown heroes and martyrs in history who have paid silently, and some are even misunderstood.
I closed my eyes and sighed silently, then turned on my phone, and after a while, I saw the twelve missed calls and seven consecutive inquiring text messages from Zhang Ming, so I quickly called back to report safety, and then lied and said that I was watching a movie just now and the phone was muted, and he said that he was going to drive to pick me up, I quickly said that I would go back and prevaricate after a while.
Time passed quickly, and tomorrow was a new week, I declined Zhang Ming's request to drive me back, and then I bought a bus ticket back, and because of the urgency of time, I bought some dry food and set off.
Sitting on the bus in a daze, I can't see any scenery on the highway at night, but fortunately there are a few okay girls chatting around me, otherwise I guess I am really depressed all the way home.
After chatting for a while, a few girls began to take turns to tell ghost stories, and I listened to the meeting basically some old jokes, nothing more than the toilet dormitory or the office haunted or something, and then a girl next to me suddenly opened her mouth mysteriously: "Hey, what you said is what you see on the Internet, let me tell you about my personal experience." ”
I was a little drowsy, and I suddenly came to my senses and pricked up my ears to listen to her: it was a strange incident when she had just graduated from college.
When she first graduated from college, in order to integrate into the company as soon as possible, she often took the initiative to ask Ying to help her colleagues complete unfinished work, so she often worked overtime until late at that time, but she also heard some rumors about the last train, so she always caught the previous train before the last train.
Until one day, due to a temporary computer failure, I was a little late, and I had to take the last train home. Since it takes nearly an hour to drive from the company to home, and most of them are in the wilderness, she is extremely nervous every time, so she will be extra energetic even late at night all the way.
It's just that this time, not long after getting on the bus, she felt very sleepy, thinking that she was almost going to take the end of the station, so she wore headphones and found a double person by the door to sit quietly, listening to the music and dozing.
The car was shaking and bumping, and she didn't know how long she had been driving, she was suddenly awakened by the unusual noise, she rubbed her eyes and looked around, at this moment the car was full of people, almost enough to catch up with the crowding during the holidays.
She subconsciously looked at the feet of those people, everyone was stepping on the shadow, so she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and then she looked at the people around her, sitting next to her was a woman in the same professional clothes as her, who looked about the same age as herself, and was holding her mobile phone to watch a Korean drama; In front of her is a couple who keep showing affection, looking at the intimacy of the two, she can't help but feel a little lost when she is still single; Sitting behind him was an elderly couple, the old lady leaning on the old man's shoulder and whispering something.
She turned her head and looked at the source of the noise, it turned out that there were more than a dozen aunts in the front half of the carriage talking loudly, looking at the stereo and other things that the aunt was carrying casually, it looked like she had just returned from a square dance.
She shook her head helplessly, then raised her voice a little, leaned back against the window and closed her eyes to recuperate. It didn't take long for her to faintly smell an unusual smell, like burnt plastic, and then an abnormal heat came from behind her, although it was a midsummer night, but the heat still made her feel very different.
She opened her eyes and looked back, and was suddenly surprised, the back of the car had somehow completely burned, but the strange thing was that the five young people sitting in the back row were still playing with their mobile phones with their heads down as if they were completely unconscious, and from time to time they were still shouting "Go on, there is blood on the other side", "Pay attention to the wild area", "Dalong is in this wave, there is a chance" and the like.
And the most incredible thing is that the fire under their feet has burned to their knees, but they are still looking at their phones. The fire spread quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the five had completely become five fires, and then the five melted like candles into a puddle of water and flowed down.
The flames followed the puddle of water to the next floor, and after a while, the people on that floor also melted, and she also found that not only the people melted, but even the carriage melted completely, but the fire burned down layer by layer.
She then turned around and shouted loudly, but no matter how she screamed, the people around her seemed to be deaf and there was no response, she anxiously pushed the professional girl next to her, but the girl continued to watch the Korean drama without any response.
She tried to push the little couple in front of her again, but the couple continued to take selfies from time to time, and then she looked at the old man and lady behind her, at this moment the fire had spread to their backs, she stood up and wanted to go out but found that the woman next to her did not avoid the movement at all, and did not even raise her head at all, in a hurry, she could only stride out of the woman's legs.
The people in the aisle didn't mean to avoid it at all, she didn't care at first, but then she suddenly realized that she couldn't feel the body temperature of the people around her in the process of squeezing all the way to the car door, and even those people seemed to be laughing or looking at their phones mechanically!
A strong fear welled up in her heart, she finally squeezed to the door, and saw that she was about to arrive at the station, but I don't know if it was because it was in the middle of nowhere, only a light flickered on the station, and the driver did not slow down at all, and drove straight over.
She tore her throat and shouted loudly, but the voices of the old ladies in the front compartment were always slightly louder than hers, and seeing that the flames behind her had burned through the couple and went straight to the middle door, she looked around and finally picked up the escape hammer and slammed it into the window.
Suddenly she felt surprisingly quiet around her, she looked at the front in a little panic, only to find that the original chatting and playing with mobile phones suddenly all the heads twisted over and stared at her with a cold eye, some people almost directly twisted the head 180 °, the extremely twisted and seriously raised blood vessels as if they would burst open at any time, the most exaggerated is that the driver not only twisted 180 °, but even the neck directly stretched over the cab and the front partition.
She suddenly felt a chill drenched directly from her head to her feet like ice water, and under the strong stimulation, she finally smashed open the glass, and at this time she saw that the passengers were slowly approaching her with their heads twisted, and at the same time, the flames on the other side had completely melted the car clean, so she resolutely jumped out of the window regardless of the speed of the speed!
"And then?" A girl couldn't wait to ask, and then the beautiful woman next to me continued as if she had just woken up from a nightmare: "Then after jumping out, I found myself falling endlessly, as if I had jumped into a bottomless pit, just when my heart was in turmoil......" The beautiful woman paused.
"Hey, can you stop selling it?" The woman in the front seat urged even more anxiously. "Okay, okay, I'm not going to sell it to you." The beauty laughed lightly and then said, "Later! I'll just, I'll wake up! Ahahahaha! As soon as the beauty finished speaking, she laughed happily, and several people around her said disdainfully: "Cut, it's boring!" ”
I also laughed, it didn't take long for the bus to finally arrive at the station, I saw that the beautiful woman next to me was struggling to hold the things on the luggage rack so I helped her take it down, and a few girls next to me immediately followed and coaxed, I smiled and simply helped a few people to take the things down. At this time, my stomach screamed uncontrollably, and several girls laughed and dragged me to the small restaurant next to me and ordered a few dishes to eat.
A group of people talked and laughed and ate for nearly an hour before it ended, and then I was surprised to find that the beauty actually took the same bus with me, so I chatted a few words casually, and after getting on the bus to help her place the luggage, she motioned for me to sit next to her, I think it's a beauty anyway, even if you can't eat and look twice, it's good.
The car started slowly, and the beautiful woman suddenly approached me and whispered to me, "Do you believe the story I told just now?" ”
I smiled and responded: "The first half is actually pretty good, the end of the end is too cold, but I feel like you're hiding something, I accidentally glimpsed your eyes when I ended the end with a dodgy look, and I saw your body trembling slightly before laughing, didn't you tell the truth?" ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the beauty's eyes, and then she quickly swept around, and then said to me with a little mystery and fear: "Since you can see it, then I will tell you the truth!" After saying that, she lowered her body slightly, and at the same time slowly lifted the long shawl hair that originally covered the left side of her face, and suddenly a strange face appeared in front of my eyes!
