Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Vanishing Corpse
readx;
In supernatural cases, curses are the most special and difficult to deal with, which can be called special cases of special cases, and they should be treated with special care. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info even if you are a professional, you must be extremely cautious and careful in dealing with curses, and if you are careless, you may be tricked.
There are many ways of traditional curses, mainly including: witchcraft, evil summoning, head-lowering techniques, etc. Different cultures have also looked up the way curses are understood.
According to the Western Bible, curses come either from God or from serpents, that when people trust God, the serpent will tempt them, and if they trust in the devil, God will curse them. Curses in Chinese culture originally referred to praying for ghosts and gods to bring misfortune on those they hated.
In modern times, curses have changed a lot, and the witch doll that was popular a few days ago is a way to perform curses in the form of dolls. Some people also sell these dolls online. The people who didn't know the truth bought the doll home and cursed the people. It was really fulfilled, and the cursed man died a tragic death. Once the curse started, it couldn't be stopped, and it ended up causing quite a mess. It took a lot of effort for the old god stick to settle down, and he was injured.
I read the files of Task Force Zero when I was idle, and the old god stick has been here for a few years, and the number of injuries is very small. The danger of the curse is clear. Thinking of this, I'm a little worried, Gray and I are two rookies, is it appropriate to deal with this kind of case?
Gray could guess what I was thinking when he looked at me. He whispered in my ear: "Don't think too much, even if it's really dangerous, we two big men will be fine." ”
That's right, the curse will only be on girls, we just need to protect Cheng Nan
"Hey, what are you talking about? We all said that we should investigate the case together and share resources!" Cheng Nan said with a frown.
Gray said: "It has nothing to do with the case, say a few whispers before the man!"
I vaguely felt that this sentence was a little inappropriate, and after thinking about it carefully, I didn't find anything wrong.
"Oh, you two are ......" Cheng Nan covered his mouth in surprise, his expression extremely surprised.
Gray reacted faster than me, and hurriedly said, "It's not what you think, I'm a 24k pure master." ”
Cheng Nan's gaze shifted to me, and said meaningfully: "Then you are ......"
This is certainly not a good thing, and I don't want to dwell on this topic, and said, "According to what you said, what you told us is only one of many legends, and if you think about it, do you miss anything?"
Cheng Nan frowned and thought for a while and said, "There is Xiaohu's corpse again!"
"What happened to the corpse?" I asked.
"In the literature and oral stories, there are several theories about Xiaohu's corpse. According to the first theory, Xiaohu's family did not come to collect the body, and the body kept hanging on the big willow tree, which quickly rotted and emitted a foul smell. Finally, the corpses were collected by the kind missionaries. The body was cremated and sprinkled into Wuliu Lake. But because it hangs on the willow tree for too long. Xiaohu's resentment passed on to the big willow tree. Five large willow trees also emitted a foul smell and were cut down by the villagers. ”
This statement also explains the reason for the disappearance of the five willow trees, which I find more credible.
"What about the second one?" asked Gray.
The second argument is more suspenseful. After Xiaohu died, no one came to collect the body. The school was worried that the family would come to make trouble, so they sent someone to guard the body and wait for the family to claim it. The corpse hung from the tree, and a gust of wind blew. The corpse was still swaying slightly. During the day, it's fine, but at night, the back of the corpse's neck is cold, like someone blowing behind it. That night, there was a special evil gate, a layer of black moon in the sky, and the moon was tightly blocked, and there was no moonlight at all. In the middle of the night, the corpse keepers fell asleep in a daze, and when they woke up, the corpse was gone. There were only the footprints of the corpse keepers at the scene, and they did not approach the big willow tree. But the body was gone. For a long time after that, many people saw a corpse hanging from a large willow tree at night. Later, everyone couldn't stand it anymore, so they burned five big willow trees. ”
The second statement has also been finished, and it is just as hairy. Putting aside the bluffing factor, carefully analyzing, and looking at the essence through the phenomenon, both stories have one thing in common, the corpses are associated with the willow tree, and the corpses are eventually gone.
"Is there a third way to say that?" I asked.
"Yes! just doesn't sound that enjoyable. Xiaohu's family still didn't show up. It was a kind-hearted villager who collected the corpse, and the villagers were relatively poor and could not afford to buy a coffin. Wrapped in a broken straw mat, I found a random place and buried it. Some people also said that the rich son couldn't bear to see Xiaohu's corpse humiliated. paid a lot of money to help Xiao Hu build a very luxurious tomb and buried Xiao Hu in it. From a girl's point of view, I prefer this one ending, with a little romance in the sadness. ”
"Is that all?" I asked.
Cheng Nan nodded solemnly and said, "Everything I know, without reservation." ”
Gray looked at me and frowned, and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"I think it's probably not just a curse, there are many possibilities for Xiaohu's body to be missing
。 My gut told me that the body might be around the school!"
Cheng Nan said excitedly: "You mean that Xiaohu's corpse is doing trouble?"
"It can only be said that there is such a possibility!"
"That's not right!" Gray said: "The old god stick said that the formation of zombies is very complicated, it takes a long time, and it also needs the right time and place, even if Xiaohu has resentment in her heart, it is impossible to become a zombie so quickly!"
I said, "Anything is possible!"
Cheng Nan became suspicious and asked, "How do you two know so much, are you really the police?"
"If you say it's a policeman, it's a policeman, believe it or not. I opened the car door and walked down, staring at the little barren mountain in the night, and it seemed that I had to go up and take a turn tonight.
Cheng Nan also jumped out of the car and said very casually: "Forget it, no matter what you are, just investigate the case!"
Gray opened the trunk of the car and took out the gear. In order to deal with emergencies, we have prepared quite professional equipment for a long time, and it is finally useful.
"Why are there only two sets, without mine!" Cheng Nan was very sad.
"We didn't know we were going to meet you. Gray picked out a flashlight, a knife and a rope from his gear, and prepared to head down the mountain.
Cheng Nan asked vigilantly, "What are you doing with the rope?"
"Just in case, maybe it will come in handy. "I could tell she was a little scared. deliberately said: "If you don't want to go, stay in the car and wait for us!"
"No, I'm going!" Cheng Nan said stubbornly: "I must find my sister, no matter what the cost." ”
I shook my head helplessly, so I had to take her with me. The enchantment has become her heart disease, and she can't live until she solves it.
Walking to the wall, Gray jumped on the wall with an easy leap and reached out to pull the two of us over.
Climb over the walls and you're on to another world. On one side is the human world, and on the other side is the savage world. The dense vegetation gave me the feeling of being planted in a primeval forest.
There is not even a road here, Gray is carrying a mountain knife to open the road in front, and Cheng Nan and I are walking behind.
It was quiet around, and my mind began to think crankily again, and suddenly a question popped up, and I said, "You have investigated so much, you must know a lot about the school, have you ever heard of Xenodegree Society?"
"Of course you know, a bunch of idiots! Cheng Nan despised them very much.
"Is there a classical beauty in this club with long black hair?" I described the girl's appearance.
Cheng Nan smiled and asked, "It seems that you were tricked by him?"
"How do you know?
"No one knows her!" Cheng Nan said: "Classical beauty is a legend in the university town, many people have seen her and have been tricked by her, but no one knows her. It happens almost every year, and the beauty never changes! But she doesn't seem to have any ill intentions! Don't be too nervous. ”
"I'll wipe it!" Gray heard the monster scream, "It can't be a ghost, can it?"
