What I didn't expect was that when I asked about Chen Er, the shopkeeper thought for a long time, shook his head and told me that there was no such person in the Pearl Community.

I didn't want to give up, so I described Chen Er's appearance again, but the shopkeeper still shook his head.

I can see that the shopkeeper didn't lie to me, and there was no need for him to lie to me.

But Chen Er is not a resident of the Pearl Community, why should he go to the Pearl Community?

If Chen Er is related to the story of the Mingzhu community, the only possibility is because of the second missing child.

It's a pity that the owner of the store only heard about it back then, and he didn't know who the missing person was and where he lived.

Bidding farewell to the shopkeeper with a stomach full of doubts, as soon as he returned to the apartment building, he saw Chen Er standing at the gate, blocking a dirty woman.

He blocked the door with his body and kept persuading.

In addition to him, the landlord and several old residents were also there, and they obviously knew the woman as well, and helped Chen Er persuade him with sympathy.

I stopped, not because the way into the apartment was blocked, but because of the woman.

At the age of about 40, her hair was greasy, and her whole body was dirty and exuding a faint sour smell, she looked excited, her mouth babbling sounded, but she couldn't say a complete sentence.

She looked like a homeless person, but there was a gloomy aura around her.

It's as if you've been in an ice coffin for a long time.

I pretended to rub my eyes inadvertently, and my eyeballs would be blurred for a moment.

Many people have experienced, and even seen, something strange in that fleeting blur.

Most people blame it on corneal damage or overuse of the eyes.

There's nothing wrong with that, but rubbing your eyes has another effect, and that's hell.

Temporarily damaged eyes become more sensitive to yin qi and can see things they don't normally see. The only downside is that it's a bit of a waste of eyes.

When I put my hand down, my eyes had turned red, and the whole world seemed to be distorted, except for the woman's figure, which was still normal and conspicuous.

Even more conspicuous is behind the woman.

Behind her, a dozen children stood quietly in a row.

As if sensing my gaze, the next second, more than a dozen children turned their heads to look at me in unison.

My gaze swept over them casually and looked at the landlord: "Auntie, what's going on here?" ”

"It's nothing, you go in." The landlord obviously didn't want to explain and beckoned the others to get out of the way for me to pass.

I looked strangely at the woman, and my eyes swept over the children again.

The children were still looking at me in unison, and when I got closer, I could see that these children's bodies were all mutilated.

I instantly thought of the child who died in the Pearl Community.

After entering the apartment, the landlord blocked the gap again, as if he was afraid that the woman would enter the community through the gap.

The human wall of the landlord and others blocked my view.

The eyes that had been rubbed gradually recovered.

I didn't eavesdrop and I didn't do anything superfluous.

Many times, a look at each other, a superfluous action, will be haunted by ghosts, I am just interested in Chen Er and the Mingzhu community, but I don't want to deal with so many ghost children.

I went straight back to my room and lay on the bed, thinking about what I had just seen.

There are many reasons why ghosts follow people, but whatever the reason, one thing is for sure, those children are related to the woman.

"Crazy woman, mother of the first missing child mentioned by the shopkeeper? Could it be that her own children disappeared and killed the other children? ”

It's not impossible, human emotions can make people do a lot of crazy things, not to mention that this woman is already crazy.

But what I'm more curious about is the relationship between this crazy woman and Chen Er.

When Chen Er was blocking the crazy woman, he acted very much, and he didn't take into account the problem of men and women, and the landlord and others didn't react to this, so it can be seen that the relationship between Chen Er and the crazy woman is not ordinary.

Husband and wife? Sibling?

When I thought about it, I found that the number of children did not match the number of deaths in the mouth of the shopkeeper.

I remember very well that the owner of the shop said that there were 15 children who died, plus the first missing child who was confirmed to be dead was 16, and if the second missing child who did not belong to the Pearl Community also died, it should be 17.

There are only 15 children who can follow the woman.

If the woman is the mother of the first missing child, combined with the similarity of the death of the child in the Pearl Community, it seems that the first missing child has nothing to do with the woman, and the second missing child may not have died or has nothing to do with the woman.

I rubbed my temples, and sure enough, I was still suitable to be a bone picker to move graves for people, simple.

This kind of brain-seeking thing is not suitable for me.

After an afternoon of rest, I went out for dinner.

The madwoman didn't know when she was gone, and the landlord was sweeping the steps outside the gate when he saw me and said hello.

I responded with a smile and stopped as I passed her: "Auntie, who is that woman today?" ”

It was exactly what I expected, and the landlord was clearly reluctant to tell me anything.

"Nobody, you go to dinner."

I had no choice but to nod and leave, and a thought suddenly sprung up in my heart, maybe the landlord was also a resident of the Pearl Community back then.

The idea came out of nowhere, but it quickly took root in my heart.

After dinner, I didn't go back to the apartment, but went to visit the night market in Xinhai and waited until 10 o'clock to return to the apartment.

I opened the wardrobe with the incense, and before I lit the incense, my eyes were attracted by Liu Jie's tablet.

Liu Jie's tablet is carved from a whole gloomy wood, and the black wood is only carved with the five big characters of Liu Jie's spiritual seat, without any decoration.

And now, in the upper right corner of the tablet, a faint golden dot has appeared.

The gold point is very faint, and if it weren't for my familiarity with the tablet, there would be almost no way to find it.

"Why did the golden point suddenly appear?"

I grabbed a little incense ash from the incense burner and smeared it on the gold dot, but the incense ash did not leave any traces on the tablet and all fell off.

"There is no yin qi or resentment. Odd. ”

I couldn't think of it for a long time, so I still incense Liu Jie in the same way as before, and kept paying attention to the tablet until the incense was completely burned out.

I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary, and I lay down in bed and slept.

The next day, just after dawn, I was woken up by a commotion and stood at the window looking down.

Yesterday the madwoman came again.

is still the same, stopped at the gate by Chen Er, the landlord and others.

Rubbing his eyes, he saw that the group of children was still following the woman.

I wasn't going to look at it more, but I was about to go back to my room, but I was suddenly stunned.

1、2、3、4......13、14。

Why are there only 14 children, and I saw 15 more yesterday afternoon.
