Chapter Eighty-Three: Catching Ghosts

Mrs. Qiu told me that the method was not complicated, she gave me a black candle and three white paper figures, and told me to light the candles and stand on the windowsill when I went home, and if the flame of the candle turned from yellow to green, I quickly threw the paper figures to the ground.

Naturally, I accepted the bait plan, and I took the candle and paper figure in my arms and went out to get ready.

I can trust Mrs. Qiu's methods, and I was inexplicably excited at the thought that I would catch this ghost tonight and confirm its identity.

The curse of the 13th bus has been haunting me all along, and this ghost who has been pretending to me all day has finally come to an end.

Although I still don't know what the root cause of the curse of the No. 13 car is, but here in the matter, I suspect that this curse must have something to do with the three car accidents in the reservoir ten years ago, and that this ghost must also be involved.

My current situation is hazy in a haze, everyone tells me that there is danger, but I can't see the enemy, so if Mrs. Qiu catches this ghost, as long as I know who he is, I can find out a lot of secrets.

After returning home, I didn't dare to delay, and quickly took out a black candle and lit it on the windowsill according to Mrs. Qiu's words.

The minutes ticked by, the first half of the night was fine, but the second half of the night was really hard, the night was very quiet and there was nothing unusual, I stared at the candle boringly and yawned.

Tonight, isn't that ghost coming?

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I simply closed my eyes for a while, opened them again and looked at the candle, and repeated it intermittently, but I accidentally fell asleep!!

When I woke up suddenly, it was half past two in the second half of the night, and the black candle had burned two-thirds of the way, I looked at the flame of the candle, and I was scared all of a sudden, I don't know when it started, the candle flame was already green!!

I slept in a daze, I pulled out my clothes and trouser pockets in a panic, and I couldn't find the white paper figure that Mrs. Qiu gave me.

The candle was still burning, and it was getting less and less, and the flame was getting less intense than before.

Just when I was busy, there was a "squeak", and the closed wooden window next to my bed opened by itself inexplicably!

I didn't care about it, I was still flipping through the paper figures in a panic, letting the beads of sweat the size of beans flow down, there was no wind tonight, how did the window open? This ghost, it's indeed near me!!

The more panicked I became, the more I remembered that the white paper man was in my pocket, how could I wake up and couldn't find it?

Tonight was a sultry day without a hint of wind direction, but now the wind suddenly blew again, this strange wind let out a terrible howl, the wooden window was blown back and forth, and what made me desperate was that the candle with a green flame on the windowsill was actually blown out by the wind!

There was no candlelight in the room, and it was pitch black.

I sat stupidly on the bed with one hand still in my pocket, and the darkness instantly released the fear in my heart, is the ghost beside me?

I quickly crawled out of bed in the dark, leaned against the wall and walked to the cabinet, which I knew had candles and lighters on it, and I needed light.

My palms were sweaty, and I couldn't catch fire when I held my phone, just when I was anxious.

"Squeak squeak..."

There was a strange sound in the room, which was small and lingering, like 10,000 insects crawling, and my scalp tingled when I heard it.

"Click..."

I'm still lighting the lighter over and over again, and the lighter has never had a problem on weekdays, and it's basically fine, but today I don't know what's wrong, and I can't catch fire.

I endured my fear and comforted myself in my heart: Mrs. Qiu said, this ghost doesn't want to harm me, it's okay, it's okay!

I simply put down the lighter and leaned against the cabinet to face the darkness below.

I don't know where I got the courage, I yelled at the room:

"Old Tang, Sixth Uncle, Tang Yao, I know it's one of you, if you have the ability, you can fuck out!"

As soon as the scolding fell, I suddenly felt that my feet seemed to be held by a hand!!

I hurriedly looked down in the faint light, and there was a long-haired woman dressed in white on the ground, her hair covering her cheeks, one hand grasping my ankle, and the other hand desperately crawling forward!

I screamed in fright and pumped my leg out, but I didn't expect this woman to be so strong that she accidentally tripped me to the ground.

My right foot was still being dragged by her, and suddenly I saw a white-clothed long-haired female ghost crawling beside this white-haired woman!!

It's broken!!

I can't run away if my feet are dragged, if this female ghost crawls over, I'll wait to be torn alive!

Cold sweat soaked through my clothes, didn't Mrs. Qiu say that a ghost came to me? How can there be two of them?

I was thinking that something even more terrifying had happened, and behind me, another female ghost in white clothes and messy hair crawled up.

Three !!

The three female ghosts crawled forward like spiders, making "squeak" sounds as they crawled.

I screamed wildly and kicked the female ghost who was dragging me on the head with my other foot.

The female ghost didn't seem to feel the pain, and I kicked her head crookedly, but her hand still clasped my ankle.

The second female ghost also crawled over, and one hand grabbed my right arm frantically.

With one leg and one hand controlled, I couldn't struggle anymore as I watched as the third female ghost stretched out her arms and grabbed at me.

I closed my eyes in despair, at this critical moment.

I suddenly heard a cat meow

"Meow...."

I opened my eyes and saw a big fat black cat jumping into my house from the windowsill and pounced on the three female ghosts!

The black cat's eyes were as bright as two pearls of the night in the dark, and I couldn't even make out its shape, only two eyes floating in the air.

I couldn't break free, I thought that the black cat would pounce on it to no avail, but what I didn't expect was that as soon as the black cat arrived, I suddenly felt my ankles loosen.

The female ghost let go!!

I looked down and saw that there was no female ghost, so I quickly retracted my feet and retreated.

There was no fierce fight between the black cat and the female ghost, and gradually, my grabbed arm was released.

In the blink of an eye, the three female ghosts suddenly disappeared!

I quickly got up, grabbed the lighter and continued to light it, this time it worked, the lighter was on, and after I lit the candle on the table, I finally saw everything in the room.

I gasped in horror and looked around the room with a candle in my hand, surprised to find.

There are actually three white paper figures lying on the ground!!

I squatted down and took a closer look at the three paper figures, and startled me again, isn't this the paper figure that Mrs. Qiu gave me?

No wonder I can't find it, how did I run to the ground?

Let me take a closer look, two of these three paper figures are in the front and one in the back, isn't that the position of the three female ghosts?

"Meow..."

I was looking at the fat cat next to me, staring at me and barking.

I also have the impression of this black cat, it is the cat raised in the east house of Mrs. Qiu's house.

After the black cat barked, she lazily jumped on my bed and fell asleep on the bed.

My heart is surging, what's going on, are the three female ghosts in white who asked me for my life just now the incarnation of a paper man?

It's strange to say, since the black cat entered the house, not only did it scare off the female ghost, but even the strange wind whistling outside stopped.

In short, it's a good thing that there is no danger tonight!

I sat on the edge of the bed sweating profusely, holding three paper figures in my hands in a daze.

The black cat was sleeping beside me, and I held the candle tightly for fear it would go out again.

I sat down until the rooster crowed, and the sky gradually brightened, I heard the sound of the outer door opening, and thought it was Shuilian who came to bring me breakfast, but I didn't expect it to be Mrs. Qiu who came in!

When I saw Mrs. Qiu, my feelings were very complicated, she gave me these three paper figures to catch ghosts, how could she become a ghost last night to catch me??

But if Mrs. Qiu deliberately harmed me, why bother so much, how could the black cat she raised come to save me?

After Mrs. Qiu looked into the room, she stared at the paper figure in my hand for a while, and asked slowly:

"You slept last night, didn't you?"

I didn't speak, nodding slightly.

Mrs. Qiu came over and pulled the paper figure in my hand, and said with a smile:

"Young man, knowing that there are ghosts standing next to you, you can still sleep, your heart is really big enough"

When Mrs. Qiu said this, I was a little embarrassed, and asked her rhetorically:

"I saw a ghost last night, but not one, it's three female ghosts in white!"

"Huh"

Mrs. Qiu laughed for a while when she heard this, and said:

"Female ghosts? Aren't these three paper figures? I found out that the paper figure was being moved at home, so I quickly asked Xiaobai to come over and help you."

I was stunned when I heard this, Xiaobai, do you mean this fat big black cat?

Mrs. Qiu tore the three paper figures in her hand one by one, and said:

"You don't have to worry too much, it's no problem for me to give you these three paper figures, but while you were asleep, you were taken away by the ghost who followed you and used by him, this ghost, it's not simple."

I was still a little suspicious of Mrs. Qiu, but after her explanation, it really makes sense!!

And the most fundamental mistake is because I went to bed last night!!

"You're saying the hell will use your paper figurines?"

Mrs. Qiu nodded.

I was just about to continue asking, when suddenly something came to mind, turned my head left and right, and whispered:

"Gee, we just talked about it so openly, didn't he hear it?"

"It's just dawn, he's not here, it's okay"

I breathed a sigh of relief and asked:

"Aunt Qiu, you really blamed me last night, so do you think you can use this method to catch him again tonight?"

Mrs. Qiu shook her head and said:

"No, of course not, you don't have to worry about it tonight, look at me!"

While chatting, Shuilian came to bring me breakfast with a plate, and when she entered the room, she saw that I was chatting with Mrs. Qiu, and stared at me in surprise.

When Mrs. Qiu saw Shuilian coming in, she didn't say anything and went home.

After she left, I told Shuilian about the little girl's safe return, and emphasized to her that the little girl's disappearance had nothing to do with Mrs. Qiu.

Shuilian was relieved at this time, and I told her that she didn't have to come over tonight without dinner, and she didn't agree at first, but then she reluctantly agreed when she saw that I really insisted.

I washed my face, ate breakfast, and then rushed to Mrs. Qiu's house to continue to discuss the countermeasures for catching ghosts tonight.

Maybe I disappointed her with my performance last night, she only gave me a black candle to light on the windowsill like last night, and told me that I didn't have to do anything else, just wait for her to come!

Although I didn't know the bottom of my heart, I had no other way to do it, so when I got home, I had to wait.

After I stayed up until dark, the little girl actually came again.

I was restless and afraid that she would be in danger, so I quickly drove her away without waiting for her to play for a while.

I lit the black candle and lay on my bed looking at the concrete slab of the ceiling, feeling uneasy.

It was late at night, and after last night's horror, this time I didn't feel it anyway.

I deliberately opened the window next to the bed, thinking that I would leave a way back, but it really didn't work, I could still jump out of the window and escape!

I don't know what time it was, but the flame of the black candle I was staring at slowly turned green!!

I gasped and came!!!

I swallowed a mouthful of saliva, let my heart beat wildly, and lay on the bed pretending to be calm.

It didn't take long for me to notice that the flame of the black candle on the windowsill was slowly deviating, like, like someone was blowing!!

I nervously grabbed the corner of the quilt, thinking that this candle must not be extinguished before Mrs. Qiu arrived!!

The flame of the candle was blown to and fro, and the flame gradually became smaller, just as it was about to be extinguished.

I suddenly heard a "bang" in the yard!

"Da-da-ta...."

The door to the outer room was pushed open, followed by the sound of shredded footsteps.

It was a long line of small paper figures that entered the house!!

These little paper figures moved quickly, entered the room, and quickly formed a circle hand in hand at the window opening.

I looked at the scene in front of me in surprise, and my heart tightened, is that the ghost in the circle surrounded by this paper man?

Before I could think about it, the paper figures suddenly trembled violently, as if there was some force in the circle that was breaking free.

I'm worrying about these paper figures.

"Click.."

A team of paper figures walked in again, and quickly circled outside.

After being surrounded by two circles of paper figures, the power to break free became significantly weaker.

After a while, Mrs. Qiu finally came.

When she entered the house, she saw the two teams of paper figures and said with a smile:

"Oh, it's really not easy to catch you."

I hurriedly asked:

"Aunt Qiu, is the ghost who came to me in this circle?"

Mrs. Qiu nodded and said:

"Yes, it's him, I can't see him now, but when it gets dawn, we'll all see him."

I was finally relieved and caught!!

Mrs. Qiu didn't speak again, came over and sat on the bed with me, staring at the paper circle on the ground.

We waited for dawn like this, during this period, the two teams of paper figures continued to fall, and Aunt Qiu frowned when she saw this, but she still comforted me and said that I was not in the way.

Although there are constantly paper figures falling, but fortunately, there are enough of them, and it is almost dawn, so you only need to be caught until dawn!!

Is it Old Tang who is trapped in this circle? Is it the sixth uncle? Or Tang Yao?

My heart tightened, and I couldn't take my eyes off the circle.

In the past, I always felt that the dawn was very fast, but when I really looked forward to the dawn, I felt that it was so difficult!!

The speed at which the paper figure fell kept getting faster, and my heart was in my throat, so I could only pray silently in my heart that I must hold on!

At four o'clock, only the last two of these two teams of paper figures remained!!

As soon as the paper figure falls, it will be in vain tonight, but fortunately, the sky has cleared, and it won't be long before the sky will be completely bright!

I clenched my fists tightly, my fingernails were clasped in the flesh, and I hoped that the last two paper figures would hold out until dawn!!

After a few minutes, another paper figure fell, one, only the last one remained!!

I was sweating profusely and even breathing gently, for fear of blowing it down, and the sunlight on the horizon began to radiate, as long as it took a while, it would be a while!!

This last paper figure trembled and stalemate with the ghost in front of him, although it was also constantly swaying, but it still stood there firmly, it seemed that it should be no problem to hold on until dawn!

At this critical moment.

I heard a "squeak", and the door of the outer room was opened, and it was the water lotus who came to deliver breakfast.

As soon as the door of the outer room opened, a gust of wind blew in, and the last piece of paper finally failed to hold on, and fell to the ground under the blow of this gust of wind!!
