Chapter 33: The apartment has changed
On the way back, Chen Yinjun sat in the car and was still thinking about the transaction content of the ghost ring: wearing the ghost ring, finding the puppet ghost at one o'clock in the morning, and delaying the ghost backlash.
The puppet ghost is the third ghost that Chen Yinjun has encountered so far in addition to the three-fingered ghost hand and the dark ghost shadow, although he has not had much contact, but Chen Yinjun can still judge that the puppet he encountered is not very dangerous.
According to the classification of powerful ghosts that Zhao Kai told him, it is neither like the weirdness of the main ability, nor as changeable as the doppelganger, but more like a derivative of the single solidification of the ability to act.
"The price demanded by the Ghost Ring is to capture a powerful ghost, and that is undoubtedly the main body that requires the capture of a powerful ghost." Chen Yinjun thought like this, "It's just that why would you ask to find the puppet ghost at one o'clock in the morning?" ”
Chen Yinjun couldn't think of a reason for a while, staring at the ghost ring on his finger in a daze.
Zhou Wenlong saw through the rearview mirror that Chen Yinjun had been lowering his head, not knowing what he was looking at, so he said: "I saw that you didn't hold the little puppet in your hand when you came out of Du Facai's house just now, but you said that you had found it, what is the situation?" ”
Hearing Zhou Wenlong's words, Chen Yinjun came back to his senses, the thumb of his right hand kept rubbing the ghost ring, and said, "That faceless little puppet is no longer important, it's just an ordinary item." ”
"I've got the most important stuff." Chen Yinjun secretly added a sentence in his heart.
"Is that so?" Hearing Chen Yinjun say this, Zhou Wenlong didn't ask much, he had been with Zhao Kai for a long time, and Zhou Wenlong also knew how to deal with these strange people.
The car was quiet again for a while, until Zhou Wenlong's mobile phone rang.
Zhou Wenlong connected the phone, and the voice released outside was Zhao Guoyan's, but at this time Zhao Guoyan's voice seemed very urgent: "Team Leader Zhou, just now the monitoring colleagues over there in Yi'an Apartment sent a message that there have been new changes in Yi'an Apartment, and the puppets on the second floor are showing signs of moving to the first floor, what should I do now?" ”
Zhou Wenlong immediately replied: "Let the colleagues who are monitoring continue to keep an eye on it, and ensure their own safety, Chen Yinjun and I will rush over immediately!" ”
The situation was urgent, Zhou Wenlong immediately sounded the alarm bell on the car again, and the wind was speeding along the way!
……
"How's it going?" After getting out of the car, Zhou Wenlong and Chen Yinjun immediately rushed to their temporary command center.
"Now the picture captured by the drone is only the puppet on the second floor has stepped out of the door, and now it is walking back and forth on the side of the corridor, team leader, you see, this is the picture taken by the drone at that time."
In the makeshift command center, a staff member pulled over a projection, and the screen showed the images taken by the drone. The picture is black and white, and the transmitted picture is intermittent, presumably due to supernatural interference.
The corridor on the first floor of Yi'an apartment is very normal, and the drone did not find anything abnormal when it patrolled back and forth, but when it flew up to the second floor, two puppets were found at the corner of the stairs on both sides of the corridor, facing the door and constantly tapping.
The picture was very blurry, but Chen Yinjun could vaguely see that it was the two puppets he had encountered in 204 that were very similar to Zhao Pengwei Chunmei's face, and then saw them knocking on the door, Chen Yinjun instantly recalled that he heard a knock on the door on the first night he moved in.
"Sure enough, Zhao Peng had already turned into a puppet ghost at that time, no wonder he could smell the smell of corpses at that time." When he saw this, Chen Yinjun could already conclude that it was Zhao Peng who had an accident at the beginning.
The puppet Zhao Peng in the picture is still knocking on the door of 203, but the owner of 203 is already outside, so naturally no one will open the door for it, and except for 203 and 204 being rented out, no one lives in the other two places, so the puppet is destined to be useless.
"Why do they keep knocking on the door?" Looking at the strange behavior of the puppets in the picture, Chen Yinjun secretly wondered.
At this time, when the drone was about to turn around to shoot the other picture, in an instant, a huge wooden face appeared on the screen, it was the puppet with Wei Chunmei's face, but the cracks on both sides of the mouth looked a little crazy. Immediately after that, the screen is blurred.
"That's the end of what the drone can capture, and when we arrange for the drone to fly in, the most we can shoot is in the middle corner of the stairs." The staff explained.
Zhou Wenlong nodded, then walked out with Chen Yinjun and said, "Chen Yinjun, what do you think?" ”
"I don't have any ideas yet." Chen Yinjun looked at the Yi'an apartment from afar, as if he wanted to see it through.
"What do you think?" Chen Yinjun asked Zhou Wenlong rhetorically.
Zhou Wenlong thought for a while before saying, "According to our previous experience in handling incidents, these puppets behave a little strangely, you must have noticed it, right?" ”
Chen Yinjun nodded, it knew that Zhou Wenlong was referring to the puppet's act of knocking on the door.
"Generally speaking, these doors are only used to prevent theft and may be useful, but it would be a bit funny to say that they can prevent the supernatural, so those puppets knocking on the door must have some meaning, or rather, this is one of its killing laws." Zhou Wenlong said sharply.
Even if he is not a strange person, but Zhou Wenlong has assisted in dealing with a number of supernatural events, coupled with his position as the leader of the assistant group of the strange bureau, the credit sharing in the "Strange Pavilion" must not be less concerned, in addition to not being able to confront the ghosts like a real strange person, Zhou Wenlong can even be said to be much more professional in dealing with supernatural events than Chen Yinjun, a half-way monk.
Chen Yinjun nodded and said, "That's right, the behavior of these puppets knocking on the door is indeed like a law, maybe it is really the killing law of puppet ghosts as you said." ”
"Knock on the door first, wait for the master to open the door before invading and killing, if you think about it, these puppet ghosts are a little polite!" Zhou Wenlong said half-jokingly.
"No matter how polite you are, you can't hide the fact that it's a ghost, and these things shouldn't live in the world to harm humans." Chen Yinjun said solemnly.
Zhou Wenlong lowered his head and sighed when he heard this, and said, "Yes, it's a pity, these powerful ghosts can't be killed." ”
Chen Yinjun patted Zhou Wenlong's shoulder and comforted, "But at least we can detain them, can't we?" ”
At this time, the voice of the monitor came from Zhou Wenlong's headset again: "Team Leader Zhou, no, there is a puppet that has begun to descend the stairs." ”
After hearing this, Zhou Wenlong hurriedly said to Chen Yinjun: "The news just sent is that a puppet has begun to go downstairs, and the situation is very critical. ”
Chen Yinjun glanced at the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and it was only three hours before one o'clock in the morning required by the ghost ring, and after taking a deep breath, Chen Yinjun said to Zhou Wenlong: "You go back and watch, I'll go inside and take a look!" After speaking, without waiting for Zhou Wenlong to reply, he ran directly to Yi'an apartment.
Zhou Wenlong looked at Chen Yinjun's fading back, took out a booklet from his windbreaker, wrote and drew on it, and then put it back in the windbreaker and walked back to the temporary command center, pressing the headset and saying as he walked: "Now there is a person in charge who is urgently dealing with the supernatural incident in the Yi'an apartment, everyone must keep an eye on it, and let people contact the tenants on the first floor of the Yi'an apartment, focusing on conveying information, hearing the knock on the door, you are not allowed to open the door under any circumstances, remember, you are not allowed to open the door under any circumstances." ”
"Yes!" The headset resounded with the echoes of various staff members one after another.
Zhou Wenlong turned around, glanced at the direction where Chen Yinjun's figure was no longer visible, and said silently: "Chen Yinjun, it's all up to you now." ”
Chen Yinjun, who had high hopes for Zhou Wenlong, just touched the door of the apartment at this time, the door of the apartment looked no different from the daytime, Chen Yinjun carefully opened the door and walked in, looking at the corridor on the first floor of the apartment, Chen Yinjun silently closed the door again.
Leaning against the wall and walking, Chen Yinjun looked sideways inside, the corridor on the first floor was quiet, the lights on the ceiling flashed and flickered, and Chen Yinjun still walked in cautiously.
In the four rooms on the first floor, Chen Yinjun approached one by one to observe, and there was still light in the cracks of the doors, indicating that the people inside had not yet slept, and Chen Yinjun seemed to be able to hear the conversations of the people in the room when he was close.
"Just now the staff said that there was already a puppet coming downstairs, why didn't you find it?" Chen Yinjun frowned, feeling very strange.
Chen Yinjun walked to the door of the apartment again, took out the special telephone, and dialed it: "When I came over just now, did anyone on the first floor open the door?" ”
It was still Zhao Guoyan who answered the phone, and she said: "No, when you passed, Team Leader Zhou had already arranged for someone to send a message to the tenants on the first floor to tell them not to open the door no matter what, and it was certain that no one had opened the door." ”
"Good!" Chen Yinjun took back the phone and stepped back into the apartment, since the first floor is quiet and safe, then there is only the second floor, plus the second floor is the first place where the puppet ghost was found, in Chen Yinjun's opinion, it is not the base camp of the ghost.
With a deep breath, the three-fingered ghost hand emerged, field, launch!
The pale yellow light curtain once again spread around Chen Yinjun's body, and the lights in the corridor on the first floor were instantly extinguished, and Chen Yinjun clearly heard the surprised sounds in the four rooms on the first floor, as if he was wondering why the power went out all of a sudden.
Chen Yinjun observed for a while, and when he saw that no one opened the door and walked out, he couldn't help nodding secretly, it seemed that they still obeyed the strict instructions of the strange situation.
The domain has been controlled by Chen Yinjun to spread to the entire Yi'an apartment, if you look from the outside, you can see that the entire Yi'an apartment has been shrouded in a layer of pale yellow light curtain, but unfortunately, the area around the Yi'an apartment has been blocked by the strange bureau in the name of isolation, so not many people have seen this scene.
Only the staff of the nearby Strange Bureau saw it, but after being shocked, they continued to work.
Zhou Wenlong looked at the pale yellow light curtain and muttered, "Is this Chen Yinjun's ability?" ”
How can Chen Yinjun not see the people outside, but in Chen Yinjun's domain, Chen Yinjun saw a puppet walking down the stairs, but it seemed to be affected by Chen Yinjun's domain, and at this time it was constantly turning back and forth at the corner of the stairs, while the other puppet was lying on the handrail of the stairs and looking down, as if watching something!
Chen Yinjun was very surprised, and didn't understand why this puppet had such a strange movement.
"Hmm. What's going on? When did it appear? ”
Suddenly, Chen Yinjun's eyes froze, and he suddenly turned to look at the corner of the first floor.
At some point, a door quietly appeared, a door embedded in the wall!
