Actually, as a custom, I didn't think there was anything wrong. It's just that a lot of things have come so suddenly lately that I have to think about some simple things to a more complex level. Hu Zongren is a person who knows me better, and he knows that the current matter is definitely not so simple, at least the act of the Fujian colleague who transferred the brazier to the corridor for no reason seems very abnormal.

Why do you say that, because burning incense and worshiping the Buddha, generally speaking, you will find an open and open place and invite the gods of the four directions to achieve the purpose of doing business, burning incense and worshiping the gods. And the corridor is small and dark, impermeable, as if he is doing something in secret, which does not achieve the purpose of godliness at all, and the owner who wants to come to this supermarket will not agree. Although I can't be sure at the moment that it was really this Fujian employee who did this, I think that if it was really him, then there must be a last resort, and as for the motive of this reason, no one knows.

Mr. Yang stepped aside to make a call, and since the phone was not turned on speakerphone, I only heard Mr. Yang there, and I didn't even have the capital to guess the content of their conversation. After Mr. Yang hung up the phone, he told me that the Fujian employee said that the incense was burned behind the innermost corner outside the warehouse on the first floor every day, because that place was not easy to be found, and the negative first floor was also the import and export of all the goods in this supermarket, which was called "Wealth Road". It was a simple custom, but it got into trouble. The Fujian employee said that due to the different customs and habits, after he burned incense there, he had several conflicts with a residential building over there, saying that burning incense at the entrance of the corridor was unlucky. Later, when I burned paper by myself, I was smashed by the residents upstairs throwing fruit peels, and when I went to burn paper again the next day, I found that the brazier was kicked over by those residents, and I thought that the neighbors were unwilling, so I would change the place, so I changed the place where I burned the paper to the stairwell.

I shook my head, thinking to myself that burning incense, candles, money, and paper in the stairwell, especially in the corner stairwell, was the easiest way to attract ghosts. In the past, if there was a funeral in someone's home, on the first and seventh days of the tail or on the death day, people always used to put a white radish split in half at the door, and put incense candles on it, which was to show the way to the deceased in their own family, so that they could find their way back to their home. Although the customs vary from place to place, the nature of the ghosts formed in each place is the same. So I asked Mr. Yang, I also looked at the environment downstairs in your office just now, and I didn't see any residential buildings, but I saw a fort. Mr. Yang said that he didn't know this, although he had worked here for a long time and had been to the warehouse on the first floor many times, he really didn't pay attention to the residential buildings in the vicinity. However, I occasionally see people passing by this passage through the window, and there is probably a path nearby.

Hu Zongren said to me, why don't we go down and have a look and understand the terrain first. I said it's broad daylight now, do you want me to walk around with a compass? Hu Zongren said, that's not necessary, think about it, since the brazier is now between the corridors, this corridor is nothing more than two easy roads, one is to go upstairs, the other is to go downstairs, and these young people also saw the ghosts squatting on the edge of the brazier before, which means that the ghosts entered this range through one of these two roads. If we can follow the vine, we will get closer and closer to the answer we want. I asked Hu Zongren, so you mean, let's start with the brazier in the corridor first, and start checking from there, right? Hu Zongren nodded and said, this is the most reliable and low-risk way I have thought of at present. And from here on, we can make a judgment about the good and evil of these ghosts, which will directly affect what kind of treatment we should choose in the future.

Hu Zongren paused and said, "How should I choose the way to treat it?"

Hu Zongren stopped after saying this, but I didn't quite understand the meaning of his sentence, originally said "we", and then changed his words to say that it was himself. So I looked at him, but he deliberately avoided his eyes, so I understood, he was actually emphasizing that this was his business, and he also knew that what we had encountered recently was getting more and more difficult, so big that we were in danger several times, and he still didn't want me to get involved too much in the middle, at least not to take this cause and effect that had nothing to do with me.

When I thought of this, although I felt that Hu Zongren was really a friend, I must not say that. I have to pretend that I don't notice anything, when it comes to brute force, Hu Zongren is probably a little stronger than me, but when it comes to having more eyes, he is not my opponent. So I ignored him at the moment, and just said to him, okay, just listen to you, let's start the investigation from the brazier in the corridor.

Then Hu Zongren told Mr. Yang that the office had already been formed, so before the matter was completely resolved, we all thought that it would not be a good thing for these people to go back to the office. If we anger the ghosts, they will suffer with us. So Hu Zongren asked them to find a place to stay, go to other colleagues' offices to visit the door, or go out shopping by themselves, no matter where they go, don't go back to the office, and Mr. Yang proposed to investigate with us, but Hu Zongren refused, Hu Zongren said that there are some things we are not fully sure of now, I don't know if we will encounter danger, or I don't want you to come with it, and there are girls among you, girls are the most in the way, and they love to scream when they encounter something, I'm afraid I wasn't scared to death by ghosts, I was scared to death first.

Hu Zongren said it like a hippie smile, but I knew that what he said was actually the truth. Unless we have to need a key clue, it is not necessarily a good thing for the subject to follow us. Because you think of ghosts in your head, ghosts have been in your heart since that time. Next, Hu Zongren instructed Mr. Yang, wait for us to go out of the elevator, close the fire door here, don't open it, and try to delay people from coming to this range before the matter is resolved, although it is all vegetables, it is easy to become bad, but it is better than constantly haunting. To be like an exorcist, you have to endure this loss first. Although Mr. Yang was still a little embarrassed, he finally agreed, so he said that the rest of the colleagues would disperse first, and he would stay in the warehouse, and explain to the colleagues in the warehouse that he would not let them go upstairs.

Hu Zongren nodded, so he and I did it again to block the ghosts from entering this range as much as possible. Hu Zongren tore off a plastic bag for vegetables in a supermarket, reached out and dug up some sludge from the gutter and put it in it, and then pulled another bag and filled it with the carrots that had been gnawed off, as if the police were collecting evidence at a crime scene. Then he took out a few more charms and pasted them under the shelves where the vegetables were kept, and found an angle that was not easy to be found, but each talisman was facing another shelf, and so on, so that each talisman could play its maximum role. Then we used Mr. Yang's staff card to open the elevator, and before going downstairs, I drew all the clothes on the four walls in the elevator car.

After arriving on the first floor, several of Mr. Yang's colleagues dispersed on their own. I've never been to a supermarket storeroom, and the sight of it still struck me as a bit spectacular. The huge open space was filled with all sorts of goods. At any time, you can see the trucks being unloaded. Mr. Yang sent us to the entrance and exit of the truck, and said to us at a staircase on the right, this staircase is the one that can go up to our office, and you can go up to the brazier by going up here. After speaking, Mr. Yang pointed to the left hand direction, it was a corner that was blocked from view, Mr. Yang said, my Fujian colleague said that the original place where incense was burned was probably over there, but I have never been there, since you asked me not to follow, then you should trouble yourself to find it.

Hu Zongren nodded and said, if we have new information later, we will call Mr. Yang, and in the supermarket, Mr. Yang will provide us with a lot of convenience. After saying these words, Mr. Yang turned around and left, and got together with the group of staff who were taking inventory of the goods, looking like they were explaining something. So Hu Zongren tugged at my sleeve and said to me, then let's start here.

About ten meters in front of me was a stone fort about ten meters high, covered with moss and weeds. In the crevices between the stones, there are occasional cobwebs and dead insect corpses. There was a small ditch about an inch wide between the bottom of the fort and the ground, and some of the water that flowed down from the fort was collected and flowed away. Judging from the degree of moss distribution on the fort, this fort has existed here for at least 15 years, because this area is an old-fashioned residential area, so it is also possible to say that this place is haunted. So I followed Hu Zongren towards the staircase and began to go upstairs.

The staircase from the first floor to the first floor is slightly longer than the one we used to get from the first floor to the second floor, which I think is probably due to the higher space in the garage. So when we climbed one side of the stairs, we just turned the corner and saw the brazier in the corner. The brazier is probably the most common iron washbasin, and I bet I would have been able to see the fine print on the basin if it hadn't been burned black. The walls in the corners were not clean, but they were very dark when they were smoked by the smoke and flames. There were still some burned paper ashes in the brazier, Hu Zongren reached out and fiddled with them, and found that among the paper ashes, there were still some burnt incense sticks.

The color of the paper ash is light white and a little damp, which indicates that it has been at least one night since the last time the paper was burned. We arrived here this morning, which means that the Fujian employee burned paper here last night.
