Chapter 57. Three minutes

Li Jia's words made my vest break out in a cold sweat. I don't know if you have ever felt the same way as me, that is, when you are worried about something, it is suddenly confirmed by the people around you, that feeling of suddenly a numb scalp and a cold vest. However, Li Jia's joking way of confirming made me even more frightened.

I lowered my voice and said to Hu Zongren, you hurry up and see where that thing is. Hu Zongren can't see ghosts with his eyes, so when he heard me say this, he immediately ran to Li Jia's side in a few steps and leaned over to look at his screen. I kept squinting at Hu Zongren and them, and I saw Hu Zongren's expression suddenly become very surprised, and I couldn't help but guess how scary this female ghost behind me was. Many people misunderstand our profession and think that we are ghost hunters, so we should not be afraid of ghosts. It's actually a misconception, to be precise, we just don't have a lot of people who are so scared, and even a lot of people who have never believed in ghosts are less afraid of this stuff than we are. For example, I was born timid, but I did this business, and it is absolutely a lie to say that I am not afraid. A lot of people are scared because they think ghosts are "scary", but I'm afraid of the feeling that souls are made by "death". And Hu Zongren is a little different from me, I know that he is also afraid, but he still dares to go up against fear, he has a sentence that I think is a wise saying, that is, if you don't struggle anyway, you will be killed, so why don't you struggle?

So when I saw Hu Zongren's expression, I knew that this female ghost standing behind me might be even more terrifying than many of us had seen before. I asked Hu Zongren in a low voice, have you found the right position? He said that he found it, should he start fighting now? I said to him, in this way, you slowly approach me, and then use the blood-stained ash you just left, throw it towards its place, I will run when you throw it, after you throw it, try to stand with me, I am afraid that this guy will not be able to handle it by the two of us.

I'm by no means alarmist, Hu Zongren himself knows it in his heart, at first when we entered the house, we checked any place in the house that had a supernatural reaction, covering the whole room, to put it mildly, this is a murderous house with extremely heavy yin energy, and only Guan Erye's location has no supernatural reaction, which shows that although this female ghost is bold and arrogant, it is still afraid of Guan Erye. But where I chanted the mantra just now, my butt was leaning against the cash register, and behind the cash register was Guan Erye, that is to say, at this moment, the position where the female ghost in Li Jia's mouth was standing was under Guan Erye's feet. This is first of all disrespectful, in fact, it also shows that this female ghost can't even control the Guan Gong in this store. In addition to knowing a little more metaphysical knowledge and magic than ordinary people, I am also flesh and blood, I don't dare to compare with Guan Erye, so how can I be a ghost who can't even handle Guan Gong?

Hu Zongren naturally understands this truth, so the reason why I asked him to do this is just because if I rashly turn around or run away at this moment, I will definitely be recruited. And that ghost was standing behind me, and it was precisely because of my previous recitation of the mantra that it stimulated it, and it also showed that my mantra had no effect other than to provoke it. It must be noted that this feeling of being in danger knowing that I am not an opponent is uncomfortable and terrifying, but I don't have the courage to do it, and even if I dare, I won't do it, because it is undoubtedly tantamount to looking for death.

Hu Zongren half-squatted and slowly approached me, and when he walked between me and Li Jia, Li Jia suddenly laughed weirdly, Huh? This female ghost turned her head to look at you, and she still tilted her neck, as if she was thinking, how can this person walk in such a strange position? After Hu Zongren heard this, he hesitated for a moment, and then turned his head to Li Jia and said, Xie Lu, thank you for your warm reminder, and I will settle accounts with you when Lao Tzu is done! It seems that he is also starting to be unhappy with Li Jia's poor temperament. With that, he continued to hunch over and slowly approached me. It looked a lot like a video game I used to play, I forgot the name of the game, and it was basically about a Japanese ninja who walked when he secretly sneaked into a place and couldn't let anyone find out.

Although Li Jia knew that the female ghost behind me was noticing Hu Zongren's movement towards me at this moment, it didn't seem to make any movement. So Hu Zongren continued to approach me, and when he was about a meter away from me, Hu Zongren raised his hand and held almost all the remaining incense ash in his hand. He asked me with his eyes if I could throw it away, I nodded lightly to Hu Zongren, Hu Zongren took a deep breath, then raised his hand, a handful of incense ashes smashed in my direction, I quickly closed my eyes the moment he let go, because I really didn't want the incense ashes on his hands to ruin my excellent vision, and then I rolled in place, the posture should not be good-looking, because when I rolled, I hit the display stand in the center of the room, and the shoes on the top fell to the ground, and then I quickly got up, Hu Zongren also ran towards the position where he was standing at the beginning, that is, the position of the entrance and exit, after throwing away the ashes, so I also ran over to stand with him. In less than 2 seconds, when I was running away with my back to the cash register, I heard a high-frequency, dolphin-like "woo~" scream behind me. Then there was the sound of something hitting the shelves or the table, so I couldn't help it, turned my head to look, and saw a misty thing, covered with incense ash, and the incense ash was still glowing with sparks, colliding back and forth, and even the pen holder and calculator on the cash register were knocked down, but the process was still very short, and before I could react, the incense ash seemed to suddenly fall off something, and all fell to the ground.

Having just experienced all this, I quickly sensed if there was any cold pain in my body, or if I had bumped into something and had been injured, and luckily, I felt normal. I once dealt with a ghost incident in Guizhou, that time was a group of donkey friends camped near there, and ended up blocking the way home of a grave owner, that time I was too careless, casually probed someone's grave, which led to inhaling a lot of powdery things and had a ghost disease, it is worth mentioning that the smell of that powder is very stinky, rotten eggs mixed with the smell of dead rats, so that since then I will be frightened every time I smell this similar smell, and that ghost disease, One of the very noticeable symptoms is that I always feel that there is something in my body, which is cold from the inside out, cold and cold, and it hurts, and I still remember this feeling vividly, which means that the ghost has invaded your body, and ordinary people may relax a little or give up fighting against it, and the consequences will be unimaginable. So it took me a long time to recover from that illness, and this time I just escaped from the female ghost, which is also the reason why I checked my body for the first time.

Incense ash is the product of flame burning, which is fire. The ghost is a cold thing, not necessarily to say that its attribute is water, after the collision between the incense ash and the ghost, it is like hitting the cold wall with hot incense, even if the wall is not damaged at all, but there are also some eye-catching sparks because of such a collision, but the sudden burning phenomenon in this is to indicate that although there is no big effect, it can still make this ghost hurt for a while, but since the incense ash landed, I knew that the incense ash mixed with Hu Zongren's finger blood was still useless to this thing.

I asked Li Jia loudly where the female ghost was now. Li Jia probably heard that my tone was a little impatient, so she didn't slow down when she answered me. After all, he was the only one in the entire room who could see female ghosts with the help of the power of technology. But Li Jia said to me, I didn't see her, is she hiding?

No way.

The house has been locked by me and Hu Zongren, unless someone has artificially broken an exit or this female ghost has used brute force to escape, then she must still be around us. And even if it escapes and breaks through my rope, then I should hear the movement, and besides, we are no match at all, so why should it run away? So I said to Li Jia, it's still in this house, you help me keep an eye on it, and tell me as soon as I come out. Hu Zongren and I slowly retreated back, and soon I ran into the rope that I had pulled earlier, and the incense ash on it was slightly sprinkled because of my collision. The whole room was quiet, Hu Zongren and I didn't even dare to take a breath, I secretly regretted it in my heart, I knew that this thing here was so difficult, why did I have to be reckless here? Why don't you wait for Fu Yunni and Situ to meet first, and then give an explanation before acting? I began to repent of my impulsiveness and conceit. I squinted at Li Jia and Mr. Chen, Li Jia seemed to be a person who had nothing to do with him at all, holding the remote control in both hands, staring at the screen, chewing gum in his mouth, and looking very bad. He didn't seem to realize that his location was also very dangerous, if that female ghost found Li Jia, Hu Zongren and I didn't dare to guarantee that we could save him. And Mr. Chen is like a gecko against the wall, his mouth and eyes are tightly closed, I think he probably doesn't even dare to look at the screen in Li Jia's hand, a middle-aged citizen, this appearance looks quite funny, so I was a little relieved. At this time, Li Jia suddenly said, I saw her! I said, "Tell me where it is, don't remind me like that, are you kidding me?"

Li Jia finally looked away from the screen in her hand, then looked at me and Hu Zongren, and then stretched out her finger and pointed in the direction of our feet.

All of this happened in less than three minutes.
