Chapter 25 Control
"Pull me up!" Xie Nanhua's voice came from the darkness.
Aunt Wang hurriedly said, "Quickly pull him up." ”
Ye Fan and I were stupid just now, and only then did we react, and hurriedly went over and grabbed one of his feet. dragged Xie Nanhua in through the window.
Why is Xie Nanhua so heavy, tired Ye Fan and I are out of breath, and when we dragged him up, we saw that one of his hands was grabbing Xie Ling's neck.
At the moment when Xie Nanhua hit the window and disappeared, Xie Nanhua stepped forward, flew out of the window, and grabbed him in the air, and the two of them hung in the air, completely supported by Xie Nanhua's two arches on the window frame. Although the height is not high, there are only two floors. But if the bell disappears, we will completely cut off the clue.
Xie Nanhua's hands turned white, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks, leaning on the heater. Tired and out of breath. He gasped a few times and pushed his glasses.
Xie Ling was already unconscious, his eyes were closed, his face was pale, and he did not move. Ye Fan and I worked together to put the bell on the bed in the inner room, and he lay like a dead man. I gently touched his forehead. Cold, without a hint of temperature.
Looking at Xie Ling's face, I felt very uncomfortable.
I have vaguely guessed what happened just now, but in fact, Xie Ling has not woken up and recovered, and it has been an illusion from beginning to end. Xie Ling, like the old man Wang we saw in the woods, was manipulated like a puppet.
It's just that the method of manipulating the bell is more ingenious, and he can actually speak, behave, and even make various expressions and demeanors like ordinary people. Laughing or crying or sad or happy.
In fact, I had a vague feeling that something was wrong, but I didn't think about the fact that the bell was a puppet at all.
I was standing by the bed, looking at him, when Xie Nanhua and Aunt Wang walked in.
Xie Nanhua explained the matter to Aunt Wang briefly, and his statement was the same as I guessed. Aunt Wang sighed deeply and looked at Xie Ling: "It's really hard for this child." ”
Xie Nanhua walked to the front of the bell, poked out two fingers to measure his snort, and turned the bell over again, with his back facing up. He touched the back of the bell's head and moved his fingers. In the neck of the bell, he slowly pulled out a thin needle.
I was dumbfounded, Xie Nanhua opened the red cloth bag from his pocket, and there was a thin needle in it, which was pulled out of the old man's neck in the woods. Now the two needles are lying side by side, the length and thickness are exactly the same.
Xie Nanhua looked at me: "It's still her." ”
When he says "she", he refers to the mysterious murderer who manipulates people's bodies with her hair.
"Why didn't you see the hair this time?" I asked.
Xie Nanhua shook his head: "I don't know." This person's puppet technique is already miraculous, shocking the world and crying ghosts and gods, and manipulating the human body can reach the realm of harmony. I suspect that manipulation with her hair is just one of her methods of puppetry, similar to a marionette. And as long as the core of the fine needle is there, this person can completely do it without hair as a clue, so as to control it in the air, and even let the manipulated person talk and do things as usual. Such a spell is truly unbelievable and unheard of. ”
"You're still clever enough to see through this mechanism." I say.
Xie Nanhua said: "I'm just more suspicious, and when I see the Insight Bell, I subconsciously feel that something is wrong." Don't forget, I have the same tattoo as Xie Ling, and we're barely one thing. I have a sharper sense of unwinding than you do. That mysterious master can fool you, but he can't fool me. I splashed his face with wine, in fact, it was also a temptation, and until that time I was still not sure, this kind of puppetry is simply too godly. This temptation proved to be a problem. ”
Aunt Wang said worriedly, "What happened to the bell?" ”
Xie Nanhua said: "I probably guessed the behavior pattern of this master, she will ingest the soul of that person after seeing the object, leaving the body as a puppet that can be manipulated......"
"What does she do with a dementor?" I asked.
Xie Nanhua looked at Xie Ling and said, "Do you remember that Old Man Wang said that the murderer wanted to refine the soul, I probably guessed what she wanted to do, she wanted to integrate the ingested soul into her body." ”
"Huh?!" Aunt Wang and I both screamed in shock.
"In this way, she can get the memories and behavior patterns of the manipulated, and then she can manipulate the puppet freely, so that the puppet can blend into life without a trace, without being noticed by the outside world." Xie Nanhua said.
His reasoning was so daring and unexpected, yet so logical that I was dumbfounded.
"Why? What's the point of spending so much effort? I said.
It has to be said that Aunt Wang has rich experience in life and has sophisticated ideas, she said: "If there is really such a person, then he can do too much." For example, accusing a billionaire of rewriting a will, for example, accusing an innocent person of killing someone, or even accusing a head of state of a country of pressing the nuclear button......"
"Actually, there is a deep meaning," Xie Nanhua turned his face to look at the dark sky, and said word by word: "Control zhì." ”
Xie Nanhua explained: "Everyone has a desire to control, and the more insecure a person is, the stronger the desire to control. Because they don't have a sense of security, they will be enemies of everyone, so they want to control and restrain all people, and stifle the factors that threaten them. If I were a puppeteer, first of all, I would be a person with a strong desire to control. ”
I suddenly remembered one thing: "This mysterious master can manipulate the bell, does it mean that the soul of the bell has been ...... Refined? ”
Xie Nanhua shook his head firmly: "No, if Xie Ling's soul is scattered, I will have a strong sense." Besides, your natal lamps are connected together, and if the bell is really refined, you won't be standing here chatting. However, even if he is okay for the time being, it doesn't mean that he is safe, and I can vaguely feel that the breath of the bell is very weak. Now that I think about it, it is precisely because that mysterious person did not refine the soul of the bell that she played the role of the bell was full of loopholes and her personality was distorted. She's not a good actor. ”
"Then can you feel where the soul of the bell is?" I asked.
Xie Nanhua looked sad and sighed.
I said to Aunt Wang, "Auntie, didn't you say that Boss Isa had already let that person stop?" Why did she still come to work on these things, why didn't she put the bell back? ”
Aunt Wang shook her head: "Boss Isa said that he had already communicated with that person, and he said that person was very powerful, very capable, and his behavior was very erratic, he could only do his best to communicate...... Otherwise, I'll give Boss Isa another call. ”
"I know where the soul of the bell is!" Suddenly, a voice came from behind.
When we looked back, the person who came was actually Old Man Wang. He leaned against the doorframe, his face as white as paper, coughing incessantly, as if he was dying, his life hanging by a thread.
Xie Nanhua walked over and helped him to the chair and sat down, Old Man Wang leaned on the back of the chair and breathed a long sigh of relief: "I can't die." ”
Xie Nanhua felt his pulse: "Steady dìng down." Old man, do you know where the bell is? "Stay on the sidelines.
"Housheng, you won't blame me for dealing with you just now. At that time, I was also involuntarily self-conscious. Old man Wang gasped and said.
I hurriedly poured a cup of hot water and sent it over: "Uncle Wang, what have you been through these days?" Where's the bell? ”
Old man Wang said, "I heard what you said just now. That demon is indeed refining the soul. Xiao Luo, after we parted in the woods, my soul was taken away by that person, and the experience was very mysterious and strange, and I still can't understand many things. Later, she was about to refine my soul, but somehow she didn't continue, and I was released to deal with you. At that time, I was in a very strange state, and I only had a faint impression of what had happened. ”
Xie Nanhua patted him: "Old man, don't blame yourself, I saved you to show that I already trust you." You tell us where the bell is now. ”
Old man Wang closed his eyes, gently touched the hot water cup, and opened his eyes for a long time: "I've seen him." ”
We didn't speak, we listened quietly.
Old man Wang said: "After my soul was taken away by the demon, I saw Xie Ling in a very strange realm. He paused: "I feel like I've been to a very strange place, it's like an unbelievable dream world. My memories are broken in that place, many experiences are not connected, sometimes I understand what I am experiencing, and sometimes the white horse passes by in a trance. That's when I met the bell in that strange world. ”
Xie Nanhua listened very carefully, and he said: "I have heard the master say that this evil technique of refining yin souls requires magic weapons, such as soul refining furnaces. Old man, is this wonderful world you are talking about in the soul refining furnace? ”
Old man Wang said: "Now I think back to that experience, that is, the experience of my soul. It didn't seem to be a fantasy, maybe it was really experienced in a container like the Soul Refining Furnace that could contain souls. I experienced a lot of strange things there, and now looking back on it looks like a long, long dream. ”
He closed his eyes, sighed deeply, and was completely lost in his memory.
"Is it okay to untie the bell there?" I asked.
Old man Wang said: "There is no concept of time and space, it is all subjective feelings, sometimes very long and sometimes very short, and the scene is changing at any time, whether ancient or modern, Chinese or outside, just like a dream." I've only seen the bell a few times, it's all a quick glance, we don't communicate, he seems to be very busy, he doesn't know what to do in that dream world. ”
What am I talking about, what Old Man Wang said is equivalent to not saying anything, and there are still no clues at all.
"I have a way to get into that place." Old man Wang suddenly said a word.
We all came to the spirits, and I hurriedly asked, "How to get in?" ”
"I was in that place, and I gave a spiritual lead." Old man Wang said, "This spiritual guide is one of my seven spirits. I didn't have much thought about it at the time, I just wanted to save myself, and now it can be the way we get there. He paused: "I can take one of you in to find the bell." ”
