Qin Yiheng was referring to a bathing pool in the center, I didn't pay attention when I came in just now, and I found that the pool was full, and it is estimated that what I heard upstairs before was the movement of releasing water here.

I don't know if he sprinkled something on the water, or if it was originally in the pool, anyway, there was a layer of floating things, and I couldn't see the water below. I didn't dare to reach out and touch it, so I turned my head and asked him, "What's the blame?" ”

He leaned down and fished something out of the water. It's not small, and it looks like a mess.

Qin Yiheng told me: "This thing is a cloth, and it is very difficult to buy now, so I spent a lot of money in order to get one." ”

I heard that it was a cloth, and I was quite fresh. But before I could reach out and touch it, he put it back into the water, and reached out to scoop up a handful of things that were floating on the water, and said, "These are wheat bran." ”

Listening to his introduction, I was even more confused.

I know what the coat is for, although I have never worn it myself, but I can see it from some martial arts dramas, it is the raincoat that people wore in the old days. And wheat bran is wheat husk, and this is the raw material for many feeds, and it is also used when making wine. It's just that I don't understand the combination of these two things at all.

I asked Qin Yiheng: "What is the therapeutic effect of using this bath?" ”

He explained to me that he had also inquired about the ins and outs of this bathing center, and he came in to check it and found that the contents had not gone away. This bathing center is too big, the filth is in the dark, and the people are in the light, so in order to ensure safety, he plans to use this method to draw out the filth.

This is called temptation in magic. Seduction is not a kind of trick, but a means, which is literally explained as the meaning, the filth of greed for money is used for money, and the filth of greed for lust is used for sex, anyway, it is to do what it likes, hook it out.

And the one he is using now is also a kind of temptation. Normally, a dead soul instinctively avoids what causes it to die. This is contrary to many popular conjectures. Like some Hong Kong ghost movies, a person is very greedy and is strutted to death, and after death, he turns into a ghost to steal food, which almost never happens. In the same way, people like those who are burned to death in this bathing center will actually hide from flames or heat sources after death. But because it is a horizontal death, it can only stay in the same place, and there will be traces of lingering on the wall.

It's actually a kind of torment for them. Therefore, he put the water away, and sank the old clothes under the water, which were heavy in yin and in contact with rain all year round, and sprinkled wheat bran on the water, which was heavy in the sun and had been exposed to the scorching sun, in order to draw these filth into the water and give them a safe place for the time being. If they do come, they will surely be able to find clues on the wheat bran on the surface of the water. However, he stayed here for more than ten minutes, but he didn't find anything.

Listening to Qin Yiheng, it's really a bit weird.

According to past experience, his methods sometimes backfired, but not often without effect.

I asked, "So what's next?" ”

He actually confidently came up with a second set of plans, and asked me to help support a small steel frame, under which he put a piece of solid alcohol on a tray, and finally he didn't know where to drum out a large piece of meat that had been drilled through with an iron brazing, and put it on the shelf to prepare for the fire.

While he was pounding the meat, I heard the movement of shaking off the plastic sheet, and it was so loud that I didn't look at it, and it sounded like he had a lot of meat with him. This has found the source of the sound I heard upstairs before, and he still knows how to enjoy it, is this preparing for a local barbecue or what? I can only go out to buy some beer and side dishes, and I was just about to hurt him two sentences: It's worthy of doing this business, everyone goes to the beach or the meadow, and you come to the house to barbecue. didn't wait for me to open my mouth, but Qin Yiheng asked me not to move and pay attention to my surroundings. After speaking, while he was roasting, he explained to me: "I couldn't be tempted just now, so I can only drive it this time." ”

This drive is the same as the previous explanation, the smell of barbecue is very fragrant to people, but this burned filth is not willing to touch it no matter what. If you force it like this, let's see if those things show up.

At this time, Qin Yiheng's searchlight had been turned off, and only the solid alcohol in front of him was lit in the entire bathroom. The light reflected his face, which made him very weird, and there would be a loud echo in the bathroom, and when I moved, the footsteps were very clear, and I began to get nervous.

Qin Yiheng may be really good at barbecue, I haven't eaten buffet barbecue with him before, and I really haven't noticed it, and after a while, I really smelled the aroma of meat. It's just that the smell of the meat grows, the more uneasy I feel, so I leaned closer to him and felt a little more comfortable near the light source. If it weren't for this damn place, I'm afraid I'd be a little hungry.

Qin Yiheng roasted for a while, lit a cigarette, looked around, shook his head at me, and probably didn't find it. The pain of waiting is really hard to put into words, let alone the ghosts who are waiting. I lit a cigarette and looked back at the bath, but I didn't see anything.

As the minutes ticked by, and as a piece of solid alcohol burned out, we still didn't notice any vision. After the meat was cooked, Qin Yiheng handed me a piece and told me not to waste it. I didn't answer, and said to him: "You can eat it yourself, this meat has no condiments at first glance, it smells fragrant, and it tastes nothing." "He was quite unhappy when he heard it, thinking that I thought he was not good at his craft. Just as the two of us were pushing me because of this meat, I suddenly heard a movement outside the bathroom, not loud, it sounded like it was coming from a relatively distant place.

I listened carefully and thought it should be a wild cat, because it was very similar to the sound of a wild cat calling spring.

Qin Yiheng was also stunned for a moment, and walked to the door to listen for a while, and when he came back, his face was not very good, and he asked me to put out the fire, saying, "This voice seems to be coming from upstairs, we have to go and take a look." ”

Seeing him so serious, I also became nervous.

After extinguishing the fire, Qin Yiheng turned on his portable searchlight and then led me upstairs.

He walked very slowly, from the first floor to the second floor, stop-and-go, it took almost five minutes. During this period, the movement did not stop, but became bigger and bigger. It sounds like it's upstairs, but it's not the second floor, it's the third floor. We paused briefly on the second floor and whispered to each other. I asked, can I hear what it is, I still suspect that this is a wild cat, after all, this house has been abandoned for so long, and it is not completely enclosed, and it is normal for a cat to come in.

Qin Yiheng thought for a moment, shook his head, and actually asked me, "Do you know what kind of place is upstairs in Lu Dao?" ”

I was completely stunned by him, and I haven't gone upstairs for so long since he came in? No wonder he walked so slowly, he was observing the terrain as he went.

I told Qin Yiheng: "I didn't go up to the third floor before, and according to my experience, it should be a small single room for massage." He listened and pondered for a moment, and told me to wait where I was, and he went up first to see if there was no danger before calling me. With that, he took the searchlight and moved up the stairs.

I don't have to go up with him, but it's exactly what I want. But when he was gone, he took the light source with him, and it was so dark that I had to lean against the wall to feel more at ease.

He went up for a long time, and he didn't hear any movement from him, but the sound similar to the meow of a cat before slowly disappeared. Because I've been paying attention to the sound, it's obvious that I feel it. If you look at it this way, it is a wild cat, and now that it hears someone coming, it naturally runs away. Thinking about it, I simply relaxed and squatted down.

After waiting for another ten minutes or so, Qin Yiheng took the searchlight and walked down step by step.

He stood still for a long time without speaking, took out a bottle of mineral water from his bag and filled half a bottle, then asked me to follow, and turned to go upstairs again. This time he walked so fast that I couldn't keep up. When I went upstairs, I found that as I expected, only a deep and long corridor was left on the entire floor, and the rest of the place was made into a small single room. I roughly counted it, and there are quite a few single rooms, which shows that the business of this bathing center should be very good before. Because of the use, this floor is also covered with a thick carpet, and the decoration and decoration give people a very ambiguous feeling. There are also no windows, and it is more claustrophobic than the second floor, and it feels a little depressing to walk inside.

Qin Yiheng didn't stop, and directly led me along the aisle to the innermost. At the end of the hallway, there is only one room, and the door is not the same as the other rooms. I guess it's the old staff lounge, but there is no sign on the door, so it's possible to say it's a bathroom. He opened the door and stepped in, followed by me. As soon as I entered the house, I was shocked.

Qin Yiheng took the searchlight and slowly shone it around, probably trying to let me see the room clearly. The room wasn't that big, plus the light was very bright, so it was very clear. It's just that the more I look at it, the more I feel at a loss, because the room is pitch black, and both the floor and the walls look like they have been burned by fire. Moreover, there is also a thing in the center of the room that looks like a bed but not a bed, and a table that looks like a table. The reason why it is so described is because this thing looks very large, and if you look at the shape alone, it should be a bed; But it's very tall, about the same as my navel, so it looks like a table. The material should be made of steel, which is very heavy to look at, and this thing should have been roasted by fire and has changed color. I reached out and touched the wall to make sure my guess was correct, and that the room was on fire. My heart said, this is the room where the legendary burned man died? But after the burning of people, didn't they redecorate again? Why is this virtue still here?

I exited the door and touched the outside wall, the wallpaper was intact and new, and it didn't look like it was going to take long.

I walked back and asked Qin Yiheng, "Could it be that there was a fire here later?" Otherwise, since it has been redecorated, it is impossible to leave this room alone, or that boss likes to be maverick, specifically to keep this room as it is, and organize employees to observe every other day, and the alarm bell will ring to prevent fires? ”

He didn't answer, but rushed the searchlight up to the thing in the center of the room, and then came over and touched the wall, and said, "I'm afraid this room is really specially kept." With that, he dragged me to the searchlight and pointed to the ceiling for me to see.

The ceiling is very white, and with the strong light, it is a bit dazzling at first glance.

After getting used to it, I realized that there were no traces of fire on the ceiling, and it should have been replaced with a new one.

Moreover, there is a small table on the ceiling, facing the thing below, and there are patterns in the table. I looked at it and immediately remembered that I had seen these patterns. The painting on the house that I bought back with Qin Yiheng on Cage Street a few days ago is also such a thing!
