After the goodbye, Hu Zongren said to me with a smile, let's also say goodbye to the master, how can there be a reason for the host to call the guests. I laughed along, but I was obviously not as relaxed as Hu Zongren, and I also understood that Hu Zongren's self-deprecating joke was actually that he had realized that this time, we might encounter a more violent situation than any before.

In fact, I also foresaw this, because in the previous twenty-one cases, our cases were almost one-on-one relationships, that is to say, we were able to have a very clear goal, and then contact the ghosts in those goals, but this time it made me feel a drum for several reasons, the first is that this case can be said to be of unknown origin, in fact, there is no client, once it is messed up, it is me and Hu Zongren who bear this redundant cause and effect. The second is because Sister Liang's description of her father's symptoms sounds very similar to the ghost's upper body at first glance, but it is fundamentally different. Although the person on the upper body of the ghost will also show a large degree of difference from the original personality, but at least most of the time will be in an active state, not lying motionless like this, in this case, what is the purpose of the upper body? The third is because Uncle Liang's symptoms are so strange that I am a little confused, if I say that I wake up regularly every day to eat, then eating is equivalent to maintaining his vital signs, but this is by no means something that ghosts can do, so from this point of view, I can reduce the suspicion of ghosts by half. The fourth is the crow that appeared outside the window in the middle of the night, this kind of spiritual animal I usually stay away from, and when I checked the house later, I noticed that the crow on the window had a strong agility, not to mention whether this crow was originally a dead spirit, first of all, I can be sure that its appearance must have something to do with the strange things that the family encountered. The fifth and the one I am most afraid of is the lotus tattoo on the ghost's hand in Sister Liang's description.

I was very open about tattoos in themselves, even though my parents used to threaten to stop recognizing me as a son if I got a tattoo when I was a child. Although the lotus flower is a very common plant, it can be regarded as a more common pattern when getting a tattoo, but why does this ghost hand have it? Because I know that ghosts can change their form and even confuse the living according to their own will, if that ghost can sway the crows, can make Uncle Liang sleep for a long time, and can also directly contact people to catch Sister Liang, then its ability to do this is actually completely stress-free, but it has to show up so that Sister Liang can see this hand, and more importantly, see the lotus tattoo on the hand.

Perhaps it was after the dispute with the Dead End a year ago that I was timid, and I was a little afraid of many things, and before I had time to think of overcoming it, I first chose to maintain a contradictory state of awe and hostility towards it. Because I'm afraid that because of one of my carelessness, I will get into trouble with someone who shouldn't be messed with. And I know that Hu Zongren actually thought of all this, but we just didn't say it, so that everyone would keep talking about it in their minds later.

After getting off the stool, I walked to the door, took a deep breath, and gently pushed the door open of the back room. It can be seen that this door has probably not been changed since Sister Liang was born. So when I pushed the door open, there was a strange creaking sound, which made Hu Zongren and I, who were already very nervous, even more nervous. Since Sister Liang turned off the lights when she took us out before, the room was still dark at the moment. Although it was noon, and there was light outside, there was nothing to see in this hut, and the only thing I could see was the light that came through the crack in the door when I first entered the room. The most terrible thing is that Hu Zongren and I know that there is an old man with sunken cheeks and a wide open mouth lying here.

Hu Zongren and I began to creep in, because there was no light, so I had no way to see my compass, so I just took a few steps into the house, and I stood still. Hu Zongren leaned into my ear from behind and asked me, why did you stop suddenly, I said I can't see, I'm standing still now, can you go to the side and turn on the lamp? Hu Zongren scolded in a low voice, why should I go? Wouldn't it be nice for you to take out your phone and light it up yourself? I said that my hands are full, how can I have extra hands? Hu Zongren was silent, and soon he said, I am really unlucky to know you. I said this, I'll put the compass down first, and then I'll use my phone to light you up, and you go and turn on the light and then withdraw it immediately. Hu Zongren probably thought that there was no other way, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. I never moved my steps, but bent down and put the compass on the instep of my left foot, so that it would be easier and faster for me to hold it later. Then I pulled out my phone and switched to recording mode, but I didn't have to record, I was able to turn on the flash behind me. Then show Hu Zongren the way.

When Hu Zongren passed by me, I patted him on the shoulder and said, don't worry, I will definitely rush up immediately if something happens. Hu Zongren snorted and said I don't believe you anymore, I have suffered a big loss several times, what's the matter, look at me as an honest bully, right.

In fact, I forgot to tell Hu Zongren that the word honesty is only used because he is by my side, otherwise he will not have anything to do with him at all.

Hu Zongren walked lightly to the bed, I illuminated Hu Zongren while closely observing Uncle Liang on the bed, as long as he moved a little, I immediately reminded Hu Zongren. Hu Zongren stood a little farther away from the bed, stretched out his arm as much as possible, and turned on the twist of the lamp, and then the light inside began to gradually brighten, and Uncle Liang was still breathing long and short, as if he might lose his breath at any time. Until the lights came on, Hu Zongren nodded at me, which means it's okay, now you can turn off the light on your phone. Then he shamelessly gestured to me in a V-shape.

At this time, there was a sound of opening the door behind me, and any slight noise at this time would frighten me and Hu Zongren, I quickly turned my head and found that it was Sister Liang who opened the door, stretched out half her head and came in, and then looked at me mysteriously, and said, do you need me to help with anything? I was a little impatient and said, "Just don't come in and make trouble, get out of here and we're not done yet." Sister Liang was choked by me like this, and seemed to be a little unhappy and muttered, Inspect a house for so long, as if I have a large area here. He closed the door very reluctantly. Just when Sister Liang had just closed the door and I was breathing a sigh of relief, there was a frightened sound behind my ears.

This time it was Hu Zongren who made this sound, I quickly turned my head and found that Hu Zongren was pulling his hand hard, and his wrist, that is, the hand that left a black handprint, was being grabbed by the old man lying on the bed, Hu Zongren is a big and three thick person, and I generally suffer more when I fight with him, just looking at the body type, this Uncle Liang will not be the opponent of any of us, but at this moment, Hu Zongren can't shake off his hand. When I saw this, I immediately rushed forward, because I knew that even if Hu Zongren hit Uncle Liang with a thunder charm at this moment, it was estimated that it would have no effect, but it might hurt myself by mistake, so I rushed forward, stretched out my finger and took it in my mouth for a while, dipped it in some saliva, and then made a pen with my saliva-stained fingers, starting from the tendon that could be clearly seen on the inside of Hu Zongren's forearm, and smeared it in a straight line in the direction of his wrist. During this period, I deliberately stroked my fingers to the fingers of Uncle Liang who were tightly grasping Hu Zongren's wrists, and when I scratched Hu Zongren's fingertips, and then continued to scratch to Uncle Liang's hands, his body suddenly seemed to be electrocuted, and his eyes twitched a few times, and then he lowered his hand, and let go of the hand that grabbed Hu Zongren, and stood there motionless, as if nothing had ever happened.

Seeing that I let go, I immediately pulled Hu Zongren back a few steps back, and then stood there looking at Uncle Liang on the bed. Uncle Liang's appearance was almost the same as at first, except that his hand came out of the quilt. I asked Hu Zongren, what happened just now, why did he grab you as soon as I turned my head. Hu Zongren said I don't know either, I was startled when I heard the sound of opening the door, and I was looking up, after you said a few words to the woman, I felt that my hand was grabbed as soon as she closed the door. I said, did you see the old man at that time? Hu Zongren said that he saw it, it was very strange, he reached out and grabbed me, but his eyes were closed, and I was still some distance from the bed, how did he catch my hand so accurately. I asked Hu Zongren in surprise, are his glasses closed? Hu Zongren said yes, and I seemed to see his mouth open wider when he grabbed me.

I patted Hu Zongren on the shoulder and said don't worry, I'll come over and take a look again, this time we won't be caught off guard. Hu Zongren nodded and said to me, I'm behind you. So I leaned to the side of the bed by the faint light, for fear that this Uncle Liang would suddenly get up and attack me, although I could find a way to break free, but I still felt very terrifying. As I moved with my footsteps, I noticed that this Uncle Liang's mouth seemed to be a little wider open than when we first entered this room, and I seemed to notice that in this Uncle Liang's mouth, the tongue curled slightly towards the back, and the lower lip originally covered the lower jaw a little, so that at least half of his tongue could be seen by me.

Faintly, I felt like there was something on his tongue.
