The second detail is blood. When Ma Danlong was summoning spirits, he pricked the middle fingers of his hands with a sharp needle, squeezed out a drop of blood, and smeared it on the forehead, temples, eyes, lips and other places of the deceased Brother Peng. One can imagine how terrifying it was for a cold and stiff corpse with a pale face smeared with red blood.

Peng Gang said that at that time, he was numb and asked Ma Danlong what was going on. The man said that this is part of an ancient ritual, and it is said to be related to the six realms of reincarnation, what forehead is the way of animals, eyes are ghosts or something, full of nonsense, I can't understand it, and I am scared to death.

Another detail is that Ma Danlong used a very strange spell when he summoned spirits. Its pronunciation is simple but very peculiar, with several syllables staggered up and down, full of rhythm and solemn sound. This spell was used in conjunction with blood, and Ma Danlong recited a spell once after smearing a trail of blood on the corpse, which looked very eerie in the dim light.

Peng Gang said in a trembling voice: "I don't want to go through that kind of torture again." If it weren't for what happened to my father, I wouldn't have been interested in finding out about his background, or even reminiscing. ”

I can imagine that the ancient rituals of life and death must be secretive, weird, and terrifying, and ordinary people are afraid when they see a corpse, let alone this process of in-depth exploration of death. It's not the same as a doctor in a hospital, who faces death head-on, after all, on a purely material level. And such a strange ritual can penetrate into people's hearts and destroy you spiritually.

I held Ma Danlong's address, and I was very hesitant to follow in Li Damin's footsteps to explore such an unknown field.

I don't know what I'm going to go through, but I know that I'm going to face death directly.

When he broke up with Peng Gang, he suddenly remembered something and said, "Lao Liu, I still missed a little bit about Ma Danlong." I once asked him how he knew that our family was running a company. Guess what he said? He said he could sense death. If someone is about to die and is sure that the spirit will return, he will investigate the person's background and visit the scene of death to treat him. It's a skill for him to make a living. ”

Originally, I had already gotten up, and when I heard this, I sat down again: "You mean that when your father was still alive, Ma Danlong already knew that he was going to die, and could accurately predict the time of death?" ”

"Yes." Peng Gang smiled: "Isn't it scary? Like the Grim Reaper. ”

My heart was blocked, and I looked at the notes that I had taken a whole book, and it was a little difficult to breathe.

After breaking up with him, I went to the bar again. Late at night, the bar is lively, and the men and women under the lights make me feel grounded and safe.

In the wee hours of the morning, I returned to my lodgings and was stuck in bed, my mind was a mess, but I couldn't sleep. I suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly turned on the computer to surf the Internet.

I'd like to find out what kind of music Brother Peng was listening to in the basement.

It's a pity that search engines haven't yet found music based on melody. I thought about it and filled in those keywords, such as "relax", "take a deep breath with my voice", etc., not to mention, I can really search for them.

A row of similar music appeared in Baidu, and I clicked and listened to them one by one, and finally found the one. The whole melody is exactly the same as Peng Gang's humming. Peng Gang's description is also problematic, in fact, this is not sofa music, but a self-hypnotic music.

The creator of the music is a psychologist, and the male voice in it is him, who uses music and language to subtly guide the listener to self-hypnosis. I checked some posts about this music, and there were quite a few listeners, all of whom were talking about their thoughts after listening to music hypnosis, some said nonsense, some said that they had no reaction to their nerves, some said that they were indeed hypnotized and seemed to be able to fly, and some people were even more exaggerated, saying that they saw their past lives during hypnosis.

I played music, took a hot shower, and listened to it with my eyes closed. The music is very soothing, and it does bring a warm and relaxing feeling, but to say that this music can lead to self-hypnosis, I think it's a bit ridiculous, at least I listened to it drowsy, and there was no sign of hypnosis.

Maybe I'm too nervous.

As I listened, I imagined the scene of Brother Peng curled up in the basement playing music. To be sure, he wasn't attending any church, the whole process wasn't a Black Mass-like ritual, and the music wasn't so evil.

He was self-hypnosis.

I'm not a psychologist and I don't know much about hypnosis. However, it is probably also known that the purpose of hypnosis is to allow people to enter a specific psychological state, interpret the subconscious, and then accurately analyze psychological problems.

This state of mind can be a fragment of memory.

I sat up suddenly, and a ridiculous thought came to my mind, Brother Peng hypnotized himself in order to return to that memory in the underworld!

It's not impossible. There is only one way to enter the underworld, and that is to die, but Brother Peng found another way, after all, he had the experience of the underworld in the past, and this memory was stored in his brain, and now he used self-hypnosis to enter the underworld again!

The more I thought about it, the creepier I felt.

It seems that there is an American movie that talks about sealing a memory, and the protagonist continues to enter this closed world of time through some means. Will Brother Peng be like the same? He hypnotized himself in order to enter the underworld again and again. If this is the case, it can be concluded that he must have had some kind of unique experience in the underworld, and this experience made him want to stop.

The experience should be beautiful. No one wants to experience it again and again after experiencing the corpse mountain and blood sea, the murderous house and the haunted house and the wife are separated, even if they are mentally retarded and perverted, they still know that they smell good.

So the question is, what exactly did he experience in the underworld that made him so obsessed?

The next day was Sunday, and I got up early in the morning and took a taxi to find Ma Danlong's address. He lives in Block B of the Garden Complex. The garden community is an old building with a history of more than ten years, not far from the unit where I work now, but I have never been there.

This community is relatively remote, the residential buildings are gray and can't see the primary color, there is a small night market at the entrance of the community, and in the afternoon, it becomes a snack street, making a miasma of smoke and sewage. How does it look like a rich person lives here.

When I arrived at the community, I saw a group of people gathered inside, forming a big circle, pointing and pointing at what they were looking at. I hurriedly squeezed over, and there was a yellow cordon in the innermost part, and several men who seemed to be plainclothes were talking to a manager in blue uniform in front of the building with small leather bags under their armpits.

I looked up at the building, there were twenty-one floors, the white clouds were drifting down, the building seemed to be crumbling, as if it was about to collapse on a tilt, I was confused for a while, and quickly closed my gaze.

There was an old man next to him who sighed: "How old is this, just jump off the building." ”

I hurried over to listen, and a few old ladies probably had just arrived, full of energy, their eyes shining, and they surrounded the old man and asked what was going on.

It turned out that this morning, someone jumped off the platform of this building. Twenty-one layer, you think, what can this person do when he lands, it is estimated that he will have to use a shovel.

The dirty ground was a large black patch, and I don't know if it was left by the corpse, and the more I looked, the more blocked I became, and I listened to the old man continue to gossip.

Someone asked how old he was when he jumped off the building. My heart suddenly moved, and I remembered that Li Damin was here, and my heart was pounding, it couldn't be this kid, right?

Because this building is exactly the address where Ma Danlong is located.

The old man said: "It's a little girl, it seems to be less than thirty, I heard that she was dumped by her boyfriend, and she is still pregnant." I couldn't think about it, so I climbed onto the roof and jumped down, alas, one corpse and two lives. ”

Someone next to him quipped: "How do you know that Lu Dao is so detailed?" You're not going to be the father of the kids, are you? ”

"I'll fuck you." The old man was on fire, and his eyebrows moved: "Can you accumulate some virtue when you speak?" Let me tell you how I know the truth, have you seen Lao Wang? He pointed to the administrator in the blue uniform with his hand: "Lao Wang and I are chess friends, and he works and squats in the communication room of the building every day, and he doesn't know what to do." ”

I was listening when suddenly a cold wind blew and gave me goosebumps. The old man saw that the people around him were listening to him, he was very proud, shook his head and continued, this building has ten rooms and nine emptiness, no one lives in it at all, and the evil is very exciting! It is said that he has died this year alone, some jumped off the building, some hanged himself, and some took medicine. Many of the residents are ready to sell their houses and move.

At this time, the plainclothes men finished speaking, got out of the building and left in the car. The administrator known as Lao Wang stood at the entrance of the building and waved his hand to see him off. Looking at the crowd around him, he frowned with his hands behind his back and walked back to the communication room with his ass pouting like a wise man.

The onlookers talked for a while, and then they all dispersed. A few good things went into the communication room with the old man to continue gossiping with Lao Wang. I didn't have anything to do anyway, so I followed them and walked in together.

Lao Wang patted his leg and sighed: "Poor that." In the morning, I had just gotten up, folded my face and was about to go out to eat, when I walked to the entrance of the building, and saw a dark shadow falling from the sky. At that time, I was so frightened that before I could react, I heard a loud noise, as if a big bag suddenly burst, and what red, yellow, and white splashed everywhere. You also know that the residents of our building have no quality, often throw things down and spit or something, I thought it was whose sundries were thrown down, and I looked at it this way, damn my mother, my grandmother, almost didn't give me urine scared out, a big living person fell into pieces. The blood, the flesh, the arms and legs, tsk, can't say. The most terrifying thing is that this man is still wearing a bright red pajamas. ”
