Chapter 72. [Case 12] Go upstairs to lure the spirit

As a person who fought with dogs and cats countless times as a child and left tragic scars on his body, these three paw marks can be recognized by me as canines at a glance. Judging from the distance between the three scratches, as Mr. Zhang described at the beginning, the body shape of this dog is at least similar to a large dog such as a golden retriever or a wolf dog. But at the same time, I also know that in addition to the Tibetan mastiff, which is a guy who doesn't recognize his six relatives, most of the large dogs are just in vain, and their temperament is actually very gentle, and they are very good companion dogs, most of which can also act as nannies to take care of children, how can there be such a fierce dog that will attack people several times in a row, and seriously injure both of them.

Considering that it might be difficult to find the previous thief and the fired worker who stole the goods, and that there was no reason for people to cooperate with me in such an investigation, the only way I could get more clues was through the worker in front of me. I asked him, "You said that when you saw that black shadow, it seemed to be surrounded by a thick fog, and it was as if it was all black, and then on the outer outline of the black shadow, it was as if the heat was coming out, but the heat was black? The worker nodded yes.

So I basically determined that this must be an animal spirit, many animal spirits are similar to this form or translucent, before this I have dealt with animal spirits for dogs, cows, horses and other animals, so I know very well that the so-called black "heat" emitted from their bodies belongs to the expression that is about to dissipate but is forcibly controlled by them in order to maintain the form, because there is a gap between the intelligence level of animals and humans, and they always know what their form is after death. Even if the soul has begun to drift around, it is still necessary to try to bring it together. To be precise, it is very likely that they do not know that they have died, or that the process of their own death before is just a matter of making them feel uncomfortable.

When I thought of this, I said to the worker, can you take us to see the place where you were attacked? The worker seemed to be a little resistant when he heard me say this, after all, I could understand that he himself was injured there, so I said to him, with the two of us on the side to protect you, you don't have to be so afraid. After hesitating for a long time, the worker said, I can take you there, but I won't come closer, so I can only show you a place. Hu Zongren looked at me and nodded, so I said to the worker, okay, just do it.

Originally, many workers wanted to follow us, but I stopped them one by one and refused, saying that I have to take time to take care of you with me, so as not to add pressure to us. The workers led us from the prefabricated area towards the construction site, bypassing several piles of steel frames, to the bottom of a building, which was less than a third of its height, and the foundation had been backfilled, but the exposed steel bars on about five floors were still stretched out in the air. I asked the worker if it was the building, and he said yes, but it was the back of the building, and if you wanted to go upstairs, you had to go around to the other side. I took a closer look at the terrain, if there is any accident in this place, the board room area is not directly visible, because the entrance of the corridor is just separated from this building, so I gradually understand that the two seriously injured people were found after falling to the ground, probably because they are stealing, it is already a loss, plus it is far away, the escapee can definitely not run away from the dog, and it was very late, if you call for help, you may not be able to save it. And this worker went back to get the tools relatively early, and many of the other workers had not rested during that time period, so they got everyone's support as soon as they called for help, but even so, he was still injured.

Bypassing the building, about a few dozen meters away from the entrance of the building, the worker refused to leave. He pointed to it and told us, "This is it, I came down from the upper floor, and as soon as I turned around, I was attacked, and I can only bring you here, and I'll leave the rest to you." I nodded at him and said, "Are you going to go back and stay with the guys now or wait here for us?" He hesitated for a moment and said, I'd better go back.

So Hu Zongren and I walked alone to the entrance of the building, on the way I took out the red rope, on the palm of the left hand repeatedly wound, because it is the relationship of animal spirits, I don't know how much red rope to use in the road is enough, after wrapping, I took out the compass in my right hand and held it in the palm of my hand. Hu Zongren seemed a little at a loss, he even came to ask me what to use, I said don't you have incense ash, just try it with incense ash, we are two people in broad daylight, even if we can't beat it, we can't run.

The entrance of the building was probably blued with a warning sign after the worker had an accident that night, and there were many cigarette butts scattered on the ground, and judging from the dust accumulated on the cigarette butts, no one dared to come here for several days. It is no wonder that the amateur life on the construction site is relatively barren, and the content of the chat after everyone gets off work is nothing more than the things in this small circle, since that incident, this topic must be the most enthusiastic talk among the workers, and there must be many strange and strange speculations, the arrival of Hu Zongren and I is either to confirm their speculation, or to break their rumors.

About 10 meters away from the entrance of the building, Hu Zongren and I began to slow down and approach slightly sideways, because when people are sideways, the target of attack will be smaller, and the relative chance of escape will be greater. The entrance to the stairs is about two meters high and three meters wide, and I can steal the dog at the entrance of the stairs to see the safety staircase that has not yet been installed with fire doors and the elevator shaft that has been dug but has been dug but has a black hole, just imagine the scene when the worker was attacked, the position of the staircase is about two o'clock in the direction of facing the door of the stairway, standing outside, you can easily see about a quarter of the stairs from the first floor to the second floor, which is not difficult to explain the possibility that the worker hit something head-on after just going downstairs. So I concluded that in the distance between the staircase and the staircase, we would be able to find the traces of this animal spirit.

The ground was freshly filled with cement, and there were a lot of messy footprints on the cement, and as we slowly approached, we saw that some slight reactions began to appear on the compass, and Hu Zongren and I became more vigilant. But to my surprise, the smart reaction on the compass is not very exaggerated, at least not the kind of offensive agility I imagined. So I had the opportunity to relax a little, squatted down with Hu Zongren, and began to check the footprints on the ground. As Mr. Zhang said before, the footprints of many people are mixed with several dog paw prints like plum petals. And when I put the compass on the footprints, there was a big fluctuation in my reaction, and at the same time, suddenly I heard in my ears the low guttural sound of a canine about to get angry.

I am familiar with this voice, although I don't own a dog myself, but many of my friends have dogs at home, and even my mother has two dogs. And because I have been a naughty personality since I was a child, most of the dogs around me don't have a good impression of me, so I often get bitten because of certain behaviors that provoke the dogs. When I heard this guttural voice, I knew that it was a warning from the dog, and that if I did anything further or if I didn't leave quickly, it would attack me.

Since I didn't see anything, when I heard this voice, I quickly stood up and asked Hu Zongren, did you hear any sound just now? Hu Zongren said that he heard it. When he said this, Hu Zongren also looked around vigilantly, I had never seen him so serious about catching ghosts before, so I think Hu Zongren might be as afraid of dogs as I am. I asked him, "What now?" Withdrawn? Hu Zongren said that you won't have to come over later, let's continue to try to move forward. I said, what if we get attacked later? Hu Zongren thought about it and said, then run away then.

So I took a closer look at the footprints on the ground and imagined that the messy human footprints were caused by the second seriously injured worker kicking his legs indiscriminately after being attacked. Then we continued to walk forward slowly, intending to go upstairs, considering that the three people who were attacked before, whether they were stealing or not, had passed through this corridor, so if we encountered danger when going upstairs or downstairs, we could reduce the range of animal spirits to a greater extent.

As soon as I stepped on the first step of the stairs, the agility on the compass began to rotate rapidly, and then the next step turned more violently, which made me have a very bad premonition, I quickly called Hu Zongren, I said let's not go up, the reaction here has proved that it is around, just catch it here, okay? Hu Zongren looked at me and said, catch it now, you can't catch it, there is still one step left. I asked him what was missing, and he said that you only know that the three people who were attacked before in the road had all come down from this corridor, so you didn't notice that these three people were also attacked when they came down from the upstairs, otherwise why weren't they attacked when they went upstairs?

I thought to myself that Hu Zongren was right, when I was a child, my uncle's family also had a dog, and every time I went to their house with something during the New Year's greetings, the dog would always shake his head and tail at me, but if I tried to take something from my uncle's house, even if it was just an orange, I would be bitten by the dog for a while. So I thought to myself that if this dog's animal spirit itself is a thief, if we don't take something and leave, I'm afraid it won't show up. While the sky was still bright, I said to Hu Zongren, okay, let's go up.

After saying that, I put the compass back in my bag, and it was like this anyway, so it didn't matter if I looked at it or not.
