Chapter 43: It's not Zhang Banxian
This peasant woman's surname is Wang, and we all politely call her Aunt Wang.
When Aunt Wang stopped us at first, I felt a little strange in my heart, Panda and I are just outsiders, why did Aunt Wang come to us for help?
Later, we figured out the ins and outs of this matter, and also understood Aunt Wang's distress.
Aunt Wang is a widow, her husband went out to work when she was very young, and she never came back for more than ten years, and her life and death are unknown.
Zhang Banxian and Aunt Wang live closely, both of them are very lonely, and then they inevitably hooked up, and the relationship between the two has been very good secretly, until Zhang Banxian went to the villa to exorcise ghosts, things changed.
Zhang Banxian, who escaped death and returned to the village, began to become crazy, at first he didn't talk to anyone, but then he finally became more normal, and he was always closed.
Zhang Banxian was originally a god stick, and most of the people in the village had no friendship, and as time went by, everyone thought that he was stimulated and suffered from slight amnesia, so he behaved very abnormally, but what a close relationship between Aunt Wang and Zhang Banxian, she naturally saw at a glance that this Zhang Banxian was actually not the previous Zhang Banxian at all.
But her relationship with Zhang Banxian can't be known to the villagers, so Aunt Wang has always kept this secret in her heart, and today when she saw me and Panda visiting, she thought that the two of us looked very decent, so she came to try her luck and tried to ask us for help.
Panda and I listened to Aunt Wang's narration, and we both looked at each other in a cold sweat.
The notes of the big shopkeeper do record some real cases, some ghosts can borrow corpses to resurrect souls, attach their souls to the body of people who have just died, and some ghosts can even go directly to the body, drive away or even devour the soul in the original living person's body, so as to directly occupy the body of the living.
There is also such a legend in my hometown, so I almost concluded that Zhang Banxian encountered such a tragedy.
I first reassured Aunt Wang and told her that Panda and I would definitely find a way to solve this matter, and then the two of us began to think carefully about what to do.
What is desperate is that this situation is basically inexplicable, because if it happened just now, it is okay, Zhang Banxian's soul may still linger around, and we can find a way to drive away the soul of the dove occupying the magpie's nest in Zhang Banxian's body, and then we can bring back Zhang Banxian's original soul.
However, now Zhang Banxian's body has been occupied by another soul for two or three years, we don't know where Zhang Banxian's own soul has gone......
After thinking about it, we actually couldn't help Aunt Wang change Zhang Banxian back to the original Zhang Banxian, and this feeling of powerlessness made me feel very uncomfortable.
At this time, the panda said in a low voice: "Yang Ye, since we can't help Zhang Banxian, it's better to put this matter aside for a while, and think about the connection between Zhang Banxian and that villa." ”
When I heard this, my mind was suddenly opened, and I asked, "You mean that the reason why Zhang Banxian was possessed by other souls was because of that villa?" ”
Panda nodded: "Well, it's basically certain that Zhang Banxian was taken up in the villa, and in this way, the soul on Zhang Banxian's body should be inseparable from that villa......"
When we said this, the two of us looked at each other, and although we didn't speak, we both tacitly made the same decision: we want to go back and continue to interrogate Zhang Banxian! To be exact, it should be the soul in Zhang Banxian's body!
At this time, it was almost dark, and the panda and I crept into Zhang Banxian's yard.
Looking into the room through the window, I saw "Zhang Banxian" sitting cross-legged in the room with his eyes closed, looking comfortable.
The panda led me to the door, it seemed that he still had the hand to pick the lock of the sliding door, and gently put his right hand on the door, only to hear a crisp sound, and the door opened directly!
The panda and I rushed in one after the other, and "Zhang Banxian" panicked, looked up at us and said, "I...... I don't have any money! ”
I smiled, first stretched out my hand to grab Zhang Banxian, and then said, "Don't worry, we're not here to rob, we're here to ask you questions." ”
Zhang Banxian was stunned for a moment, the expression on his face became even more panicked, he shook his head and said, "I forgot everything in the villa, don't ask me." ”
I smiled, grabbed his wrist and gradually increased the strength of my hand, and said, "We all know, you are not Zhang Banxian at all, let's say, who are you?!" ”
When Zhang Banxian heard this, his face instantly turned pale.
He lowered his head and said a few words, and suddenly got up, trying to break free from my grasp!
However, Zhang Banxian is skinny and old, how can he be my opponent, and before he can fully stand up, he has been pressed by me on the dilapidated sofa in his house.
"Oops...... Kill! Kill! Zhang Banxian shouted like a pig.
I reached out and pressed his mouth, shook the red rope gourd in front of him, and said, "You can see clearly, we are both exorcists and demons, if you don't cooperate like this, we can do the right thing for heaven and drive you out of Zhang Banxian's body, you know?" ”
Actually, I don't have the ability to do this at all, so it's just a bluff.
But it seems that my deceptive skills are not low, Zhang Banxian was immediately frightened by me, and honestly lay on the sofa, never daring to move anymore.
"You want to ...... What do you want to know? Zhang Banxian said in a low voice.
"Who the hell are you? Why did you go up to Zhang Banxian's body? I asked.
Zhang Banxian's eyes lowered and he bargained: "Then if I tell you, you promise not to drive me out of his body?" ”
The panda glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, answer the question first!" ”
Zhang Banxian showed a desperate expression, sighed, and said, "I...... I'm actually a worker in a decoration team, not a harmful ghost, three years ago the villa was renovated, I followed the team in, I didn't expect it...... Unexpectedly, there was an accident later, the back half of the villa collapsed, and several of our brothers were buried in it, and not many people survived in the end......"
"You died in the accident?" I asked.
Zhang Banxian shook his head and said: "I don't know if I'm dead, I was very confused at that time, and I remember that my body hurts, especially ...... Then I fainted. I don't know how long it took to wake up, but after waking up, I became Zhang Banxian. ”
When he said this, his eyes were very sincere, and there was no awkward expression on his face, so it was clear that he should not lie to us.
Panda and I looked at each other and nodded, thinking that he was not lying.
"Let me ask you again, is there a person named Cao Ying in your decoration team?" I asked.
When Zhang Banxian heard this, he nodded and said, "It's really there!" Xiao Cao, quite young, is said to be a college student, and he is very smart, but he has too many ghost ideas, is lazy and greedy, and is not welcome. ”
The panda and I were shocked again, we didn't expect the portraits we saw in the villa to be real!
"So how the hell did you get into the accident?" I asked.
"Zhang Banxian" obviously didn't know anything about this sudden accident, he thought for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "I don't know, it stands to reason that the villa is a high-standard building, and it will never collapse, but ...... But it just happened. ”
Panda and I interrogated him with some questions, and "Zhang Banxian" was also very cooperative and answered all questions.
Panda and I summarized it and now came up with three main doubts:
First, why did the villa collapse?
Second, apart from Cao Ying, are there any survivors in the decoration team?
Third, does Cao Ying have anything special to do with the whole thing?
And these three questions can't be answered here in "Zhang Banxian", we have two solutions to these problems, one is to ask Wang Hao, and the other is to find another Daxian who has been to the villa, Master Li.
In our contact with Wang Hao, we have never heard Wang Hao talk about the collapse of the villa. According to the description of "Zhang Banxian", the collapse of the villa caused at least ten deaths, which must be an important reason for the haunting of the villa in the future, but why did Wang Hao always keep this matter secret?
This is a scandal after all, and perhaps Wang Hao does not want this scandal to be made public.
I discussed it with Panda, and decided to go find another Master Li who had handled the villa incident first, because through the previous description, this Master Li also suffered from "amnesia" after going to the villa, and it seems that Master Li was also taken by other souls......
It was already late at night when I arrived at Master Li's house, who lived in the city on the first floor of an old-fashioned residential building.
The panda and I knocked on the door, and it was a long time before an old man came to see the door.
I politely asked him if he was Master Li, and he nodded slightly, but didn't mean to let us in.
In the previous situation, Panda and I were not polite, and directly broke into Master Li's residence, only to find that like Zhang Banxian, Master Li also lived alone.
This also confirms that Master Li may have been possessed by the soul, and they are afraid of goofs, so they choose to live alone.
"Master Li, let's not go around in circles, we know that you are no longer Master Li, but the workers of the renovation team in the villa who died tragically, right?" I said straight to the point.
Master Li was already very surprised, and when he heard this, he almost fainted.
The panda hugged the elderly Master Li, and then Master Li actually sobbed.
"Woo woo...... Master Li whimpered in a low voice: "I don't want to do this, I don't want to do this......"
