Chapter 6: Soul Attraction Spell
Early the next morning, Xie Xiaolou had breakfast and rushed to the county public security bureau.
As soon as he walked to the door of the Public Security Bureau and took a look at Bai Ling, Xie Xiaolou stiffened, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Where are you going?" Bai Ling laughed generously: "You came so early, it seems that the temptation of the bonus is indeed very great." When the stall was washed and ready to eat breakfast, Bai Ling's washed face looked extraordinarily fair, with a few drops of undried water on it, and his silky hair was tied in a ponytail at will, and a few strands of hair hung down on his forehead.
A burst of aroma was in his nose, Xie Xiaolou was particularly useful, and his nervous emotions suddenly dissipated without a trace.
"Bonus is secondary, assisting the police is the first priority!" Xie Xiaolou has regained his ability to smooth the oil cavity.
Bai Ling smiled and said, "I'm going to buy breakfast for my senior brother, have you eaten it?" ”
Xie Xiaolou's heart turned, if he said that he had eaten, he would miss an opportunity to buy breakfast with Bai Ling, so he said, "I got up early, I haven't eaten yet." ”
"That's right, you hurry up to find my senior brother, he said that if I run into you, I will call you to go to him quickly, and I will bring it to you later." After Bai Ling finished speaking, he walked out of the gate.
The thousand words in Xie Xiaolou's heart were blocked in his chest, and he wanted to chase it out, but he found that his feet and legs were like being filled with lead, and he couldn't take a step.
"It's useless." Xie Xiaolou sighed self-deprecatingly, and then thought that the black wolf was looking for something wrong with him, and he didn't know if there was something new, so he shook off his lead-filled legs and walked to the office of the criminal investigation team.
"Ah, Xiaolou is here." The black wolf was standing in the office energetically at this time, looking down at a pile of documents, and when he heard a sound at the door, he looked up.
"What did Uncle Black Wolf find?" Xie Xiaolou said and leaned over.
"Uncle Black Wolf?" The black wolf reread it again, and couldn't help but laugh dumbly, although he was nearly forty years old, compared to a twenty-two-year-old boy, he was called an uncle, but it was a little awkward to shout like this.
"You just call me Black Wolf." The black wolf is colorful.
It's not allowed to call uncle, it's so hypocritical! Xie Xiaolou thought in his heart.
"So Uncle Black Wolf...... Black wolf, did you find anything? Xie Xiaolou hasn't changed for a while.
"Well...... I checked some information, but I really didn't find any useful clues, and I couldn't find the identity registration information of the living corpse, it seems that it is a perennial black household. "The black wolf summed up some of the previous information, and there was no breakthrough, since the current case is extraordinary, it can only be solved in an extraordinary way for so long.
"So our current breakthrough can only be those two." At this time, Bailing had already bought breakfast and came back, fragrant fried dough and soy milk and local characteristics of sugar and oil baba, Xie Xiaolou, who had already eaten, smelled this tempting fragrance, and the gluttonous worms in his stomach came out again.
"Come on, let's have breakfast." Bai Ling put the plastic bag in his hand on the table and beckoned them to eat together.
"Xiao Lou, last time you were blocked from doing those two, don't you have any other ways?" The black wolf took out a golden fritter and asked while eating the sweet soy milk.
"Last time, I wanted to find out the person who cast the curse directly through the spell in the corpse, but this time I won't alarm him anymore, so we'll let the corpse speak for itself." Xie Xiaolou said confidently.
"The corpse speaks on its own? Is it difficult to refine corpses? Bai Ling's eyes widened and she asked.
"How can it be so easy to refine corpses, you can refine it if you say it's refining." Xie Xiaolou shook his head and smiled, "After a person dies, the brain is not dead, and the memory of the seventy-two hours before death can be retained at most, then, let's let the two of them repeat the activity route of the seventy-two hours before death, and I believe that we will definitely find favorable clues." ”
The two black wolf larks suddenly realized, isn't this a bit like a conjuring, but conjuring only summons spirits, but this is a real body, speaking with actions.
"Without further ado, when are we going to start, and what do you need us to help with?" The black wolf swallowed the remaining half of the fritters in one gulp and stood up.
Xie Xiaolou grabbed the corner of his clothes and said with a wry smile: "Don't worry, at least you have to wait until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, is it possible that you want to show the corpses of tourists in broad daylight?" ”
Bai Ling laughed, making the black wolf a little embarrassed, he sat down slowly, and asked, "Then what do you want us to help with?" ”
According to the "Book of Corpses", in order to make the corpse get up and walk according to the memory left behind, it is necessary to open the altar, and the method is called the "soul attraction spell", and the corpse is under the traction of the "soul", repeating the final action, and the soul here only refers to the memory of the last 72 hours.
Xie Xiaolou's family is surrounded by four walls, and he is the only one in the family who has a low-end domestic mobile phone, and the props and materials required for the opening of the altar recorded in the book are sandalwood tables, peach wood swords, glutinous rice, candles, kerosene lamps, etc., how can he have the money to buy these things, so he told the truth to the black wolf.
The black wolf said boldly: "No problem, junior sister, you can buy it." ”
Xie Xiaolou clenched his fists with both hands, ready to say thank you, but before he could say anything, the black wolf continued: "Deduct from his bonus." Bai Ling laughed and went out.
"Do you use it like that?" Xie Xiaolou said unhappily.
"This is an additional expense, and it can't be reimbursed, anyway, it's not much for 100,000." The black wolf said calmly.
If conditions permit, Xie Xiaolou really wanted to beat up the "Huang Shiren" in front of him, but unfortunately the disparity in strength was too great, so he had to swallow his anger.
When the night is ugly, the supper stalls on both sides of the street are gradually withdrawn, and the street becomes deserted, with the occasional dog barking.
The mortuary of the county public security bureau has set up a legal altar, and props such as cinnabar, rune paper, candles, and mahogany swords are neatly placed on the sandalwood table.
The door of the room was suddenly opened, Xie Xiaolou gasped and walked in, looked at the two with solemn expressions and said, "Okay, there is no one on the street anymore, you can start doing it." ”
"After a while, the corpse will get up and walk to the place where it has been in the seventy-two hours, and each of you will guide the corpse, and the kerosene lamp in your hand must not be extinguished, otherwise the corpse will lose control and will move indiscriminately." Xie Xiaolou instructed seriously, he also read the book completely, and he couldn't predict what the consequences would be if there was a mistake.
The two of them each held a kerosene lamp, which had not yet been lit, and the two of them carefully wrote down Xie Xiaolou's instructions, then held their breath and stared at Xie Xiaolou who had begun to practice.
"The soul returns to the heavens, the lamp leads out, and it is as urgent as a law, get up!" Xie Xiaolou picked up the peachwood sword, pasted the rune paper with the spell written in cinnabar to the foreheads of the two corpses, and then the peachwood sword slashed through the candle and pointed to the sky.
Bai Ling only felt that there was a gust of yin wind, and his heart trembled suddenly, and he saw two corpses standing up and standing straight!
"Long soul-attracting lamp, searchlight and twilight." After Xie Xiaolou finished reading this sentence, the kerosene lamp in the hands of the two black wolves lit with a "whew".
Immediately afterwards, the two corpses that had been standing straight slowly began to walk towards the two people holding kerosene lamps.
"Be careful." Xie Xiaolou looked at the two of them, and couldn't help but glance at Bai Ling.
The two nodded, and followed as the body moved.
Two candles were lit on the sandalwood table, which corresponded to the kerosene lamp, and as long as the kerosene lamp was not extinguished, the candle would not be extinguished.
Bai Ling was followed by Lao Chen, and Lao Chen died in the county hospital, so the first step was to walk back to the hospital first. Bai Ling was racking his brains on how to deal with the nurse on duty at the front desk, but he didn't expect to go in and find that there was only one nurse on duty, and he was dozing off on the table. In this way, a person and a corpse quietly came to the morgue downstairs.
Lao Chen went back in time from the morgue at the time of his death. After coming out of the morgue, he went to the restroom, then walked to a restaurant in front of the hospital, and slowly walked back to a shopping mall in the center of the county......
Bai Ling followed him, silently recording where Lao Chen went, and at the same time carefully guarding the kerosene lamp, for fear of being blown out by the wind.
Just when Bai Ling had a glimmer of hope in his heart, he saw Lao Chen standing at a crossroads and stopped abruptly!
Bai Ling looked at the kerosene lamp in his hand strangely, it was still full of firepower, and there was no sign of extinguishing it, why didn't he leave?
While she was wondering, she found that another kerosene lamp had also appeared!
The black wolf actually followed Dr. Zhang's corpse to the same crossroads as Bai Ling, and the corpse was also still.
The two were no more than 100 meters apart, staring at each other's kerosene lamps in their hands, and they didn't go out.
"Something can't happen to him, right?" Bai Ling said with some concern, and at the same time took out his mobile phone and dialed Xie Xiaolou's number.
"Hey, Xie Xiaolou, there's nothing wrong with you, right?"
Xie Xiaolou nervously received the call, subconsciously looked at the burning candle, and replied, "I don't have anything here, everything is normal, what about you?" ”
"The 'stuff' on our side is gone." Bai Ling said hurriedly.
"The lights aren't out, are they?" Xie Xiaolou looked at the candle again and confirmed that the candle had not been extinguished.
"No, my brother and I haven't gone out."
"It's not extinguish......ed" Xie Xiaolou pinched his chin and thought about something, suddenly his scalp tingled, and he hurriedly asked, "Who did you say you were with?" ”
"Senior brother and I." Bai Ling didn't know what to do.
"I mean, you're together now?" The more Xie Xiaolou asked, the more scared he became.
"yes, that's right, we're all at the same crossroads, and the 'stuff' doesn't move." Bai Ling felt that there was something wrong with Xie Xiaolou's voice, and looked at the kerosene lamp in his hand with apprehension, and it was still lit.
"Oh no, run!" Xie Xiaolou immediately shouted and rushed out of the door.
"It may be too late." Bai Ling replied that he didn't know if Xie Xiaolou heard it, but found that the "Lao Chen" in front of him slowly turned his head 180 degrees and turned his head to stare at himself.
The kerosene lamp in his hand suddenly went out.
"Damn, the soul attraction spell was self-defeating, and it stimulated the evil qi of the corpse, which is good, and gave birth to two evil corpses." Xie Xiaolou rushed towards the direction where the two were, hoping that the two of them would try to hold on.
"How so?" The two black wolves were back to back, holding a laser knife glowing with blue light in their hands, which was used to eliminate Doctor Zhang and save Captain Li in the first place, but at this moment, it had no effect on the two corpses in front of them.
At this time, the two of them had been fighting with the corpse for more than ten minutes, and not only were the bullets finished, but even the laser knife could not help them.
"Why hasn't Xie Xiaolou come yet?" Bai Ling's arm was injured and he was scratched by the living corpse, and his flesh and blood were blurred.
"It's coming, it's coming, it's as urgent as the law." Xie Xiaolou ran over with a rough face, threw out a few pieces of rune paper casually, and pasted them on the two corpses.
"What's going on?" Bai Ling breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Xie Xiaolou easily restrained the evil corpse.
"I didn't expect it either,......" Xie Xiaolou was about to explain, but when he saw that the two demonstral corpses had scattered the spirit runes, he rushed over again.
"Wow! So fierce? Xie Xiaolou thought that the "Five Fu Dingkun" would be able to do it, but he didn't know that this trick would not work.
Seeing the two corpses staggering over, Xie Xiaolou pulled out a ball of ink fountain from his waist, shook his hand, and threw it at them.
The corpse was wrapped around the ink fountain line, trapped in place and unable to move, Xie Xiaolou hurried up, bit his finger, wrote a spell on the rune paper with blood, and shouted to the black wolf: "Borrow a lighter." ”
The black wolf didn't dare to slack off, took out a lighter and threw it over.
Xie Xiaolou took the lighter and hurriedly lit the rune paper, walked in front of the two corpses, and forced it into their mouths.
Then I heard the howl of the corpse, and a flame burned in the chest, which slowly spread out until it set itself on fire, and was consumed by the flames, and in a short time it was burned to ashes.
"Huh~~" Xie Xiaolou looked at the corpse that turned into ashes, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, and let out a long breath.
"What the hell is going on?" The black wolf asked puzzled.
"These two corpses have absorbed the evil qi and turned into evil corpses, which are more powerful than ordinary living corpses, so they can only be cremated, fortunately they are not yet in the climate, otherwise it will be miserable." Xie Xiaolou explained weakly.
At that time, Bai Ling said that when the two met together, Xie Xiaolou felt that something was wrong, it was very likely that both of them had been to a place before their deaths, so when the soul attraction spell led the two to the same place, the corpse qi of the two corpses would attract each other, like a magnet, the corpse qi would become thicker and thicker under the interaction, and gradually turn into evil qi, once the evil qi entered the corpse, it would no longer be controlled by the soul attraction spell, and it would become a very aggressive evil corpse.
At this time, seeing the wound covered by Bai Ling, Xie Xiaolou's heart tightened, and he hurriedly took Bai Ling back to the autopsy room, used glutinous rice to remove the corpse poison, and then smeared iodine wine to disinfect and stop bleeding, and finally bandaged the wound well.
"Thank you." Bai Ling said softly.
