Chapter 142: Burning Newspapers at the Grave and Fooling Ghosts
The fat man spoke very casually, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, but I was terrified to hear it, this mortality rate is too high.
If that's the case, why would anyone want to work in the polling bureau?
The fat man's explanation is that there are not necessarily supernatural things happening every day, most of them are man-made, and there are still very few cases of dirty things that really cause trouble, but I was more lucky, and I caught up as soon as I came.
While chatting and walking, soon we came to the campus, the fat man was not in good spirits, but as soon as he entered the school, he suddenly got up, looked east and west, as if Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden, and felt new to see everything.
"Fatty, what's wrong with you? Why didn't you go to school? ”
I looked at him with a sneer, just like him, he looked dirty than me, a typical migrant worker entering the city, and his eyes were black.
"Don't say it, I really haven't been to school, my family was poor before, I didn't go to elementary school after I went to school, I followed my grandfather at home to see evil diseases, my skills were actually passed from my grandfather, and I didn't have a half-dime relationship with the polling bureau, but because I had such attainments at a young age, I was targeted by Liang Fatzi, and I directly pulled Zhuang Ding over, otherwise you think I want to do this business? When I was at home, I would just give them a ticket to point out the bus. ”
The fat man seemed to be resentful, and there were many complaints about Liang Fat in his words, but I could only pretend not to hear it.
It was just getting dark, and the school was crowded with students, but there were many students wandering around the campus, and there were also many students exercising in the stadium.
"I'm surprised, according to such a heavy popularity, even if those dirty things are there, they don't dare to come out to meet people, how can they kill people?"
The fat man said as he followed me towards the dissection building, and slowly, there were fewer people around us. After all, no one wants to stay in such an obscure place for a long time.
When I came to the small house where the old man who was guarding the morgue lived, I found that the door of the small house was actually guarded by the iron general, and there was no one at all.
I saw him here yesterday, did he take a leave of absence again? But it's right to think about it, what's in the morgue? It's all corpses, it's too late for ordinary people to hide, no one will go to the morgue for a walk, and it's normal that no one is guarding it.
"Since the old man is not here, let's go to the elevator and wait, I don't believe I can't wait for something tonight."
The fat man saw that the old man was not there. Without saying anything, he just asked me to take him to the elevator.
To be honest, I really don't want to go into the elevator, after all, where is the legend, and if something really comes out that we can't deal with, I don't know if I'll make it out alive.
"Don't worry, I'm prepared."
At the entrance of the elevator, the fat man took out a plastic bag, and the bag was black and I don't know what it was. It's not something to eat anyway.
The fat man told me that this thing was made of old glutinous rice and black dog blood, and that it would be used to draw charms on the four sides of the elevator when the time came, as long as those things dared to come. That is, there is no return, and it must be slaughtered.
I shook my head at these preparations for him, although this thing is useful. But that would have to wait for the elevator to come out automatically.
"So what do you say you should do? Neither of us has yin and yang eyes, so it is impossible to see this thing, and we can only know by feeling whether it is coming or not. If you have a better way, I'll listen to you. ”
I don't have any words when the fat man says this, after all, I don't have a lot of experience, but I have just been filled with a belly of knowledge about magic, but I am still in a stage of exploration for how to apply it.
"That's it, Mr. Huangfu once gave me a compass, saying that it can detect dirty things, I didn't dare to use it alone last night, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to deal with any dirty things, now that we are both here, we can use it."
"There's such a good thing, you said it earlier! Huangfu Yufei, that old man is definitely a master, and what he gave should not be wrong, in this way, you are watching from the side, and I will first take care of those imps who have no malicious intentions, so that they don't mess with us. ”
As he spoke, the fat man took off his backpack, and then took out the incense, candle, paper money and ingots we bought.
When I saw him burning paper in the medical school, I felt a little funny, but I couldn't laugh, after all, what he had to do was related to whether we could investigate the cause of death of those classmates, and there was no room for being unserious.
Soon, the fat man lit the candle, but in the cold wind, the candle was swaying and could be extinguished at any time.
Draw a circle on the ground, leave the south gate, the fat man used his own fat meat as a candle to block the wind, and then lit the paper money on the candle, put it in the small circle, and then added the ingots to it.
As the paper money burns, patches of black paper ash drift into the sky, and there is a strange smell in the air, which can only be found when burning paper when burying people, and there is absolutely no such smell if it is burning newspapers.
Suddenly, I noticed that the light of the fire had turned a miserable green, like a ghost fire, and the fat man's face also appeared a strange green.
"Damn, it's not good, there are too many wandering ghosts here, I'm afraid that the paper money is not enough, careless, really careless, once those who don't get the paper money make trouble, we will be in big trouble."
As soon as I heard the fat man say this, I couldn't help but shudder in my heart, during training, those old things tortured me with dirty things, but I know how powerful these things are, I am not afraid of one or two, but I see that the fat man means more than one or two, and my heart is furious.
"So what to do? You've got a solution, huh? Otherwise, shall we withdraw first tonight? Come back tomorrow. ”
The fat man shook his head and said, "No, these things are already eyeing us, even if we leave, they will follow, and we have to send them away today." ”
"How do you get rid of this black light? Could it be that you are burning paper here and let me buy paper money? But now that all the shops are closed, where can I buy incense, candles, and paper money? Even if you can buy it, I don't know how much effort it will take, can you carry it alone? ”
I'm so anxious that I'm about to cry, this dead fat man, if you don't burn paper, maybe you won't have this thing, isn't this burning incense to attract ghosts and make trouble for yourself?
"No, now I have a stopgap solution. It can be used for the time being, so let's deal with the past first. ”
"If you have any plans, just tell us? Don't sell it, seeing that the paper money is about to burn out, if you don't take action, let's wait for the hundred ghosts to devour the soul. ”
I looked at the fat man anxiously, and I really couldn't think of any other expedient measures.
"In this case, go to a teacher or student who knows philosophy, borrow from them the newspapers you don't use, the more the better, and borrow a pair of scissors."
The fat man instructed me to slowly renew the paper money in the circle, and muttered: "Brothers." Big brothers and sisters, uncles and aunts, brothers and sisters, I am not your relatives, I am here to investigate a case, I hope that the deceased will be given justice, you are all reasonable, I hope you don't embarrass us, come and collect the money! ”
I don't know what the fat man is doing. But I couldn't help but listen to him, because now I had no choice but to take out the compass and let him defend himself if something didn't go wrong.
"I don't need it. You better hurry up and find the newspaper, Lao Tzu has the ability to protect himself. ”
In the faint green light, the fat man was calm, even if he knew that there was dirt around him, he did not have the slightest look of fear. I can't learn this composure.
I had no choice but to run out with the compass, but fortunately there was nothing else around here. There are still a lot of people in the school, knowing that we are investigating the deaths of Li Lin and Xia Yu, and they are all watching here from a distance, but Tasmania definitely didn't expect that there were already an unknown number of ghosts gathered here.
Soon, I met a teacher who took me to the office to get a large stack of newspapers as soon as he heard that I was looking for unused newspapers, but the scissors were not found.
I can't take care of these anymore, I don't have any scissors, I don't know what will happen to the fat man if I look for it for a while?
Thinking of this, I quickly ran over here with the newspaper in my hand, and the students and teachers could only watch me from a distance, but they definitely didn't dare to approach.
First, they couldn't accept this kind of strange thing for a while, and secondly, the principal also issued an order, saying that no teacher or student should be allowed to disturb our investigation.
In my hurry I was about to cross a small lawn, and no one was going to fine me anyway, but just as I was about to cross it, I tripped over something under my feet, and I fell and gnawed on the mud.
Fortunately, I was holding a large stack of newspapers, which saved me from touching the earth with my face.
Finally came to the fat man, at this time I found that this green light was stronger, even the light of the candle turned green, the fat man was sweating profusely, the paper money ingots on the ground had been burned, only a little bit on the hand, if I came back half a minute later, it would be burned out.
"Where's the scissors?"
The fat man asked yelling when he saw that I didn't have scissors in my hand.
"I don't have scissors, I haven't borrowed scissors, can I use a knife?"
I don't know what he's going to do, but if he doesn't have scissors, he doesn't, and I have a knife with me, but I don't know if it's useful.
"It's okay to use a knife, bring it first, you come and burn it first, burn it slowly, you can't extinguish it, otherwise we will both be unlucky."
The fat man handed me a few pieces of paper money in his hand, then took the knife from my hand, cut the newspaper into strips three fingers wide, and then tore the strips into paper money with his hands and handed them to me, so that I could use them on top when I didn't have to burn them, and anyway, deal with the past first.
"Damn, are you going to the grave to burn newspapers, fooling the ghost?"
I couldn't laugh or cry, I didn't expect the fat man to play this hand, which greatly surprised my expectations, and the paper money was also fucking fake.
"I'll wipe it, you don't talk about it, it's just an expedient measure, let's fool the past first, and then talk about it, and buy more paper money tomorrow to compensate them."
The fat man was speechless, and as he spoke, he stepped up the speed in his hand, and fake paper money with raw edges was quickly born from his hands.
"You girl, be careful that Lord Yama catches you, sues you for disrupting the market and economic order below, and when the time comes, he will fry you all over the body." (To be continued......)
