Chapter 5: Doubts
"Wei Dong was sober at that time, and he was very scared, so he didn't dare to open the door to look, but just pricked up his ears and listened carefully, but at this time, suddenly his shoulder was patted, and a hoarse voice came out from behind his ear, and he was paralyzed on the spot."
"Liu Haiping?"
"Well, that's the name I heard in the basement.
He was so frightened that he didn't dare to turn his head, and he stalemate for a while before he stood up and dared to turn around, and found that there was nothing behind him.
He realized that something dirty was following the game in the basement.
He told Yang Xu about it, saying that it was definitely not an illusion, that the game had hit an evil spirit, and said that it was ...... He also said that no one could escape.
Yang Xu didn't take it too seriously at the time, he just felt that Weidong's mental state was not good. But...... It didn't take long for Wei Dong to have an accident on duty at night.
At this time, Yang Xu was scared. He also heard about some things, saying that Wei Dong died a very evil family.
The people in Weidong's unit said that the door was fine at that time, and as soon as Wei Dong walked over, before he touched the doorknob, the big glass fell off and smashed at him in pieces, and some people said that Wei Dong peed casually in the yard at night and poured it on something that should not be watered.
Whether it's true or not, Yang Xu was already panicking, so he called Dabao that time to talk about it.
Dabao said in that call that Wei Dong's death was just an accident, and asked Yang Xu not to think about it in that direction with psychological hints, because no one encountered anything abnormal except Wei Dong after that, so let Yang Xu relax.
Then not long after, it was Yang Xu who called at night and said that he had a dream or something.
"Smack!"
The tape recorder's buttons popped up again, and the first tape was finished.
At this moment, Qin Ding's back was a little cold, he rubbed the back of his neck, thinking that these contents were true and fake.
He took his breath, took out the tape, and put the second disc inside.
"You continue."
"At that time, after listening to what Dabao said, I was very scared and worried, but Dabao insisted that Weidong's death was just an accident, and Yang Xu was purely a panic and hallucination caused by psychological suggestion.
He felt that although he encountered something unexplainable in the game that night, no matter what it was, at most it was a scare and scare person, and he could kill people, and he didn't believe it.
He told me not to scare myself, otherwise it would be easy to get into trouble. I thought it made some sense, and then I relaxed a little.
However, three days after Yang Xu made the call, something strange happened to me.
…… Call...... Dabao worked overtime at night that day, I saw that it was eleven o'clock, and he hadn't come back yet, and then I was so sleepy that I went to sleep first.
Falling asleep, I was in a daze when I heard the sound of water in the bathroom.
Then I got up from the bed and saw that the bathroom door was closed, the light was on, and there seemed to be a figure, I thought Dabao was taking a shower when he came back from work, so I looked at the clock, it was just past twelve o'clock.
Then I shouted, what are you taking a shower so late!
There was only the sound of water in the bathroom, and no one responded, I thought the water was loud, he didn't hear it, and then I lay down in a daze.
If I slept a second time, I slept very lightly. After a while, I heard the lock of my house ring, and I wondered, what is Dabao going to do?
I was a little unhappy, and said what are you tossing around at night, go to bed after taking a shower.
At this time, Dabao went to the bedroom and said to me, 'Oh, I opened the door softly enough to wake you up.' It's too late to work overtime today, so I won't take a shower yet. ’
When he said this, I woke up immediately, and my head really sounded like it had exploded, and the hairs on my body stood on end.
I bounced out of bed, didn't even put on my slippers, and ran to the bathroom door to see that there was no light on inside and the floor was still dry.
This scared me to death, my teeth were still chattering when I cried, and it was impossible for Dabao to scare me with such a joke.
Dabao looked at me like this and asked me what was wrong, and I told me what was wrong.
He went into the toilet and checked it out, and then said to me, maybe I'm dreaming and confusing it with reality.
Although I was puzzled, I couldn't explain it better, so I couldn't really believe that there were ghosts.
I was even more scared in those days, and I didn't dare to be home alone, but I didn't have anywhere else to go at night, so I asked Dabao to go home early.
But in those days, Dabao Company always asked him to work overtime, so I went to the nearby Xuandi Temple and asked for two talismans.
At the time, I thought the amulet was really useful, and I didn't seem so scared, and strange things didn't happen again.
But a few days later, we received a call from the police, saying that Yang Xu was ...... disappeared, and asked if we knew a person named Liu Haiping.
Dabao didn't know how to explain to the police, not to mention that the name Liu Haiping was originally said by Wei Dong, is there such a person who still said it.
We don't know who Liu Haiping is, but Dabao decided to tell the police about playing the four-cornered game.
Although the police were a little confused after hearing this, they didn't say much, just said that they shouldn't play in that kind of place so late in the future, it is easy to have accidents.
A few days later, we were informed that Yang Xu had been found, but he ...... He's dead. ”
"Did you die in the basement where you played the Four Corners?"
"Are you...... How do you know? ”
"It's not hard to guess."
"Forehead ......"
"You go on."
"Yang Xu did find it in the basement of the old factory.
It is said that when he was found, he ...... Kneeling facing a corner, unwound. Later, the forensic examination said that it was sudden cardiac death due to stress, and nothing else was found.
Anyway, the case was closed quickly, and then the analysis given by the police said that a few of us played the four-corner game, which produced a certain psychological hint, and the implication was that Yang Xu was scared and mentally had a problem, and he scared himself to death.
I'm panicking, whether it's an accident or not, the four of us are already dead, and I'm afraid that Dabao and I will also be in danger.
Dabao agrees with the conclusion given by the police, but both friends died unexpectedly, how could it be so coincidental.
Later, we attended Yang Xu's funeral, and Yang Xu's mother asked me something that scared me even more. ”
"What did his mother ask?"
"Whew...... She asked us, who was ...... Liu Haiping.
His mother said that Yang Xu was in a bad mental state in the days after the accident, and said that there was a person named Liu Haiping who always patted him on the shoulder.
His mother thought it was a joke or a conflict between colleagues, but when asked, Yang Xu refused to say anything, but he didn't expect that he would have an accident in just a few days.
This time, although Dabao didn't say anything, I asked him to go to the temple with me to worship, and he actually agreed.
After we finished worshipping in the temple, we asked for two more amulets, and I had no other way, after all, life and work had to go on.
I thought the amulet was still as good as before, but not long ago, Dabao's colleague called me and asked me to hurry over.
They said...... Call...... They said...... (sobbing)...... The elevator that Dabao was riding broke down and he fell into the elevator shaft.
When I arrived at their company, the rescue and maintenance personnel had just lifted Dabao up from the elevator shaft. ”
“…… Woowoo woo ......,......"
"Miss Liu, I'm really sorry for making you sad again. Why don't you take a break? ”
“…… Whew...... I'm fine......"
"Then Miss Liu, did you find anything abnormal in Dabao's accident? I mean, if it was just an accident, you probably wouldn't be so scared, would you? ”
"Well, I don't think it's an accident.
When Dabao was carried up by the workers, I was completely confused, because in addition to a little blood coming out of his nose, his eyes were still open, and it seemed that he was only injured.
I didn't believe he was dead, but by the time I reacted again, I felt like the air around me had been drained. I began to tremble, my tears could not be controlled, and I cried next to his body.
I cried for a while, and someone came to persuade me halfway, and then I was a little tired, and then I noticed that Dabao seemed to be holding something in his hand.
I quickly snapped off two of his fingers, and it was the amulet.
When I completely broke his hand, I found that the amulet ...... It's only halfway, and on his hands, there's still a layer of paper ash.
The amulet was in his pocket, why did he hold it in his hand, why did he burn it, I think he must have encountered something, and the amulet can be burned, there should be something trying to harm him.
Now that Dabao is gone, there are only four people left with me, and I feel that it will be my turn to be next.
You'll save me. ”
"Rustle~"
"Miss Liu, how much will happen to Dabao?"
"Five days ago."
"Did anything strange happen to you after that?"
"No, because I was so scared, I lived in the temple after that, but I couldn't live there for the rest of my life.
Later, the head of the temple gave me a phone number and said that this kind of matter could be solved, and I contacted you. ”
Whew, whew, whew-
"Miss Liu, take this peach pit and put it in your underwear."
"This ...... What is it? ”
"One peach presses a hundred trees, and one core suppresses a thousand evils, this is something that can temporarily ward off evil spirits. Before we can find out the source, it can keep you safe in a short time.
Be sure to keep it close to your body and never get wet. You can now go home. We're trying to resolve this within this safe period. ”
“…… This...... Will it work? I didn't dare go home. ”
"Please believe me, this peach pit will definitely keep you safe."
"But I still didn't dare to go home."
"Miss Liu, even if you don't believe me, you always believe in that Hui Daoist, right?"
"No, no, I believe you, I'm just scared."
"Miss Liu, this is not an ordinary peach pit, with the blessing of the Dharma Seal of the True Martial Emperor, as long as it does not get wet and does not leave the body, the evil cannot get close.
And we are short on time, we may need to investigate now, and the sooner we find out, the sooner your danger can be removed. ”
"Okay, okay!"
The tape was blank for a few seconds, and then there was another sound.
"26 January 1997.
Hello Sister Wang, Director Xu told you, let's ask about something. ”
"Well, you ask."
"What was that basement in the yard used to be used for?"
"It's hard to say what it was used for, but when the factory wasn't built, it was a mental hospital.
It seems that in the mid-30s, foreigners invested in it, and after liberation, it was abandoned. That basement belongs to a psychiatric hospital. ”
"The 30s? Didn't you use this basement after your factory? Like storing something. ”
"Uh...... This ......"
"You know, since Director Xu has allowed us to ask some questions, you should trust us."
“…… It's not the inner meaning, that place, how to say, it's not very suitable for putting things. ”
"Not suitable? What do you mean? ”
"That is, when we built the factory, we needed to push the old building of the mental hospital first, but that place was a bit inconspicuous because it was underground, and there were a lot of miscellaneous things piled up at the entrance, maybe the hospital didn't want to attract attention before, so when we built the factory site, no one found that there was an entrance there.
When the factory building was built and the compound was cleaned, the entrance to the basement was discovered.
At first, the workers thought it was a bomb shelter, but when they looked down, they found that there were several locked rooms. ”
