Since it was still a short time before 11 p.m., Hu Zongren and I bought some beer and shrimp crackers at the shop in front of the community, planning to satisfy our hunger if we were hungry later. And the two of us also called Sister Cai and Fu Yunni respectively, saying that we would not go back because we were busy tonight. Since the two ladies knew that Hu Zongren and I belonged to the brave guys, we didn't return all night, and they were very relieved. On the way, the two of us also made a detour to the hardware and grocery store, and bought some candles, gypsum powder, and a bundle of sturdy hemp rope.

After returning to Sister Zhu's home, we began to make some necessary preparations. I first opened the sliding door of the balcony and then the kitchen window to allow the whole room to be airborne, but I still put rope nails on every entrance, such as the doorway and the window opening, to prevent the ghost from entering the house through these channels during or before the summoning, because as a ghost who has committed suicide and died in vain, it is better for us to fix the route for it, so as to avoid extraneous complications, in case of a fight, we will have to be ruthless against it. After the house was finished, I only left the window of Sister Zhu's bedroom without touching my feet, but only drew a dressing on the ground from the window, this is to ensure that when it enters the house through this window, it will inevitably fall into my dressing.

After watching TV and drinking beer until about 10 p.m., we started to prepare, and although we said that we were acting on the spot, in fact, we discussed a lot of countermeasures with each other for a long time. Now we have a few things that we must achieve, otherwise we won't be able to control this female ghost. The first is that we must find a way to lure it out, because we are not related to it, neither grace nor resentment, and Sister Zhu is not at home, so it actually has no reason to appear for us to see, so we must think of a trick to let it take the bait, since it appeared on the roof of the canopy of Sister Zhu's house every three or five consecutive months, it means that it arrived at this canopy from a certain path, and there must be its residual supernatural reaction on that path, and we should be able to attract it with a reaction.

The second thing that had to be achieved was that we had to get it into the house, because we couldn't get the key to the residents on the 23rd floor, and this was the 22nd floor, plus Hu Zongren and I hadn't learned the cool skill of levitation, so we had to have a place to settle down to chant mantras and send souls, and we had nowhere else to go except Sister Zhu's bedroom. But I believe that the soul of suicide will not willingly follow us in, in other words, we may have to "catch" it. If the first two conditions are met, the third and most critical step is to send it away, before that, we must try to resolve its resentment and let it be relieved, otherwise even if it goes, it will not be clean, and when the time comes, Hu Zongren and I can't stand it.

So we turned off the TV, took all the tools to Sister Zhu's room, lifted the quilt and put it on the bed. Hu Zongren took out two thick white candles and lit them on either side of the lower edge of the window. Then Hu Zongren went to the kitchen of Sister Zhu's house, found a big white radish, then split it in half, put the section flat on the ground, and then took out a large handful of incense, burned it and inserted it on the radish. In fact, it doesn't have to be radish, soap or even plastic foam, as long as it can hold the incense.

Hu Zongren took out the gypsum powder from the pile of things he bought before, and then stood on the windowsill and stirred a little with his own saliva to seal the small open opening on the canopy. Then he grabbed a handful of dry gypsum powder, held it in the palm of his hand, and blew it vigorously towards the inside of the canopy. In an instant, the white powder flew everywhere, and I covered my nose with my hand, but I didn't blame Hu Zongren's technique of blowing powder was not good, because I knew that he did it to use this powder but there was something that was easier to see as a medium, ghosts and people, in the process of moving, they would affect the surroundings because of their own movements, so that subtle changes occurred, and the powder of gypsum was almost weightless, and it was also the most susceptible, so if the female ghost appeared later, Its energy field will raise the powder in advance, giving us a few more seconds to anticipate.

The incense is to hook the soul, because Hu Zongren and I guessed before that the location of the 22nd floor, except for the female ghost accident, I am afraid that there will be no other ghosts nearby. So if this incense can hook the soul, there is a good chance that ** will hook the female ghost. But this alone is not enough, I said, we must find a way to lure it out, which requires us to guess according to Sister Zhu's previous description of the cause of death of this person, if I can't think about it because I was rudely reprimanded by the leader, and I chose to commit suicide by jumping off the building because I was insulted and lost my dignity, then those words must be very hurtful to its heart, considering that they are cleaners, as Sister Zhu said, most of them are migrant workers or laid-off workers of enterprises, Maybe it's because life isn't very good that I come to this job that is both heavy and low-paying. So Hu Zongren and I guessed that when the leader of the department store insulted the eldest sister of the cleaner, he must have mocked her in these places, so Hu Zongren and I planned to act in a play later, and the female ghost appeared in anger.

Hu Zongren took apart the roll of hemp rope and threw it to me and said, "Put it on your waist." In fact, I have always been very curious about why Hu Zongren wanted to buy such a roll of hemp rope for Lu at that time, and I also guessed whether they had any special techniques in the Yaoshan faction to tie up ghosts with hemp rope, who knew that Lu Dao He actually wanted me to put it on at the moment, I asked him what he was doing with it, Hu Zongren told me, I overlapped the rope three strands, and the other end I will tie it to the thick water pipe in the bathroom later, you put it on your waist and wait to poke out of the body, and wait until the female ghost appears, use your rope to grab it and pull it in.

What the? After a long time, you still prepared this broken rope for me! It's dark outdoors, and it's the 22nd floor, so you can figure it out. So I scolded Hu Zongren and said, brother, wake up quickly, you know that I will never do such a dangerous thing. It's better that you're only telling me now, why don't you go by yourself? Hu Zongren smiled and said, I'm afraid of heights... You fart! I scolded, why didn't you say that you were afraid of heights when you were pulling the cliff in that dilapidated house! I threw the rope on the bed and said nothing. Hu Zongren said to me, you are smaller than me, and your weight is lighter than mine, there are only two of us here, you have to have one, if you really don't want to, I can only call Fu Yunni to come over. I know that he is deliberately angry with me, in fact, I also know that what he said is the best way to catch the female ghost as soon as it appears, but I have no experience in aerial work at all, and I don't even know how to tie the rope to myself so that I can do it firmly.

So I stopped talking, and I knew that this time I still had to go. With apprehension, we went to the bathroom, urinated first, and by the way, we saw if the water pipe was secure. Fortunately, the water pipe is a thick iron pipe, which is completely enough to bear the weight of my body. So I settled down, and I began to study how to tie a rope around myself. Hu Zongren enthusiastically came to help me, he quickly tied me up, I struggled hard, and it was really strong. So I asked Hu Zongren, you are quite good, who taught you this knotting skill?

Hu Zongren said, no one teaches me, I learned it in the movie. I asked him, what kind of movie... Forget you, I didn't say hello.

I told Hu Zongren that as soon as he saw that my hands were starting to be put on later, he would immediately pull the rope and pull me into the house. Hu Zongren agreed. So he wrapped the other end of the rope around the pipe, then walked to the middle of the rope himself and grabbed the rope in a tug-of-war position, and the rope was wrapped around his arm a few times, and nodded to me that I could get on. I took a deep breath and slowly climbed out the window, trying not to look down because I was afraid that I would pee out. After standing on the windowsill, I turned around and faced Hu Zongren, I asked Hu Zongren to tighten the rope first, then I held the edge of the window with both hands, and then let Hu Zongren slowly let go, I myself followed his hand After the rope became longer, I began to lean my body to the outside, I stood with my feet apart, and squatted diagonally on the windowsill in a posture similar to a horse step. Above my nose was the canopy, and I adjusted the position so that I could go directly through the canopy and see the situation upstairs, and I said to Hu Zongren, okay, you can tie the knot. Hu Zongren quickly tied the knot, so that I stood firmly, as long as my feet did not slip and step on the air, I would not fall.

The night in Chongqing is a world of neon lights, and even though it is late at night, I can even see the hollow windows on the 23rd floor under the neon lights around me. Seeing that the handful of incense was about to burn out, I asked Hu Zongren to start reciting the soul mantra by the window. I played a one-man show alone and scolded:

"You poor migrant workers have come to the city one by one, causing many people in the city to lose their jobs!"

"People like you, it's good to die, and you save food for the country!"

"I don't think you're a good thing, you look honest, you must be stealing chickens and dogs behind your back, men stealing women and prostitutes!"

……

I scolded like this, at first I was afraid of causing a siege by the surrounding residents, but later I didn't care so much. Just after I scolded for a few minutes, I suddenly smelled a smell of dust in my nose, I took a closer look, the gypsum powder that had been blown up by Hu Zongren on the canopy was falling down with a bang, I knew that it was coming, so I immediately felt out the red rope, looked at the top of the canopy, and waited nervously. At this moment, a person suddenly crawled out of the windowsill of the 23rd floor very quickly, if you have ever seen the curse, you can imagine the speed of the cocot when it climbed down from the attic by 5 times, it looked like a spider, or a gecko, completely contrary to the rules of physics, lying on its head and feet on the outer wall of this building and crawling towards me, I saw its eyes, full of anger.

Gritting my teeth, I shouted, I'm talking about you! You stinky cleaner! Then, it lunged at me.
