Chapter 326: Entanglement (11)
Li Yun's consciousness was not clear. He seemed to be wrapped up in many emotions, and his soul drifted with the waves, from anger to sadness, and from sadness to horror, all kinds of emotions, all negative, and there were no positive emotions at all, which also made Li Yun feel that his soul was sinking.
He also didn't know where he would descend.
The number "78" has dimmed and has been replaced by faces, human faces, doll's faces, alternating appearances. Some are laughing evilly, some are crying, and some are crazy and exaggerated, and they can't see what their expressions are.
I don't know how long it has been sinking like this, Li Yun's soul struggled.
His subconscious seemed to sense danger.
If he sinks any longer, he may not be able to protect himself.
He struggled, and he saw something clearly.
He saw the weeping faces. The souls of those people were imprisoned in the shells of dolls, and they simply died or survived.
They opened their mouths and said something to Li Yun.
Li Yun didn't hear it clearly at first.
He couldn't hear clearly, but he had already guessed a rough idea.
Combined with what he knew about the church dolls, and the images that the strange ghost showed him, he was able to deduce the course of a murder. There may be more than one homicide.
The one who took all the dolls from the church, created a murderous pattern. He replaced the living with the soul in the body of the church doll. The souls of the living are imprisoned in the doll's body. Some may choose to be obedient, expecting that they can escape the predicament in this way; Others, dead, or rather, somehow detached from the doll, it's just that they can't go to reincarnation, and they can't go to the capital.
They are the haunting things in Yi Xin's mouth, and they are more vulnerable than those haunted ghosts.
They can't even call for help, but they can't do it all.
Li Yun followed their emotions and found the most intense place.
The soul in that place will be completely dissipated.
Even that remnant of soul is gone.
If it were complete, it would have saneness, and it wouldn't have been.
Not necessarily, not really.
The little thing that remains of the soul in the end can probably be called the essence of the soul.
Li Yun followed the remnants of the soul and saw the murderer and the two big boys who were about to become victims.
The emotions of the three are intense, and Li Yun can guide their emotions, but there is no way to interfere with their actions.
He's just a bystander.
He heard a cry for help.
But what could he do?
Li Yun was at a loss.
Time has stopped for Li Yun.
He thought about it for a moment, and then he felt a heat source in his body.
Something is radiating heat.
The familiar heat shook Li Yun's heart.
Will it work?
Li Yun took out the ID card that his boss helped him get from his pocket.
The thing was getting hot.
Li Yun fumbled in his pockets again, trying to find a lighter, but he didn't smoke, and this time it didn't happen that he happened to have a lighter on him.
He was at a loss again.
The ID card in his hand seemed to be urging him.
The temperature rises and becomes red-hot, like a flame, which is more intense than a normal flame.
Li Yun did not miss and threw away his ID card.
It was as if he was holding a fire in his palm.
Raising his hand slightly, Li Yun looked at the assailant.
The opponent's movements were still frozen at the moment when the knife fell, and the expression on his face was still so ruthless and hideous.
Li Yun saw the flames on his body.
In the center of his torso, a small flame ignited.
The flames quickly turned into a ball of fire, engulfing the assailant. He didn't even scream, and he didn't leave any ashes behind.
The fire continued unabated, making Li Yun think of the office that had burned down. He hadn't seen that before. However, he had seen the ghosts consumed by the flames.
The fire engulfed the entire apartment, but did not hurt the two older boys who passed out.
The fire consumed everything, all the sins, all the remnants, and, all the ghosts.
There was nothing left.
Li Yun's pupils reflected the raging flames.
He heard the phoenix chirping in the flames.
The final fire was like a phoenix spreading its wings.
Li Yun looked at the figure soaring in the sky, and the shock in his heart was indescribable.
When he opened his eyes, there seemed to be that figure in his eyes, and he could hear the echo of the phoenix chirping in his ears.
Li Yun was stunned for a while, and then saw Uncle Li sitting in front of him.
"You're awake." Uncle Li sighed.
"I ...... Passed out? Li Yun sat up from the bed.
He looked around.
They are now in the hotel room. This is the room they booked before.
Uncle Li nodded, "You passed out in the park." Xue Xiaolian said that there was no need to go to the hospital. Easy to ...... I got those people to help. ”
Li Yun's eyelids jumped.
Uncle Li looked at him with a helpless look in his eyes.
Li Yun held his forehead.
Uncle Li sighed.
He has a consensus with Li Yun on the issue of Yi Xin's love. It's just that Uncle Li, an old man, really doesn't know how to beat mandarin ducks. Even if it's not a mandarin duck, Uncle Li doesn't know what to do with such a bad person's feelings.
Li Yun actually didn't know what to do, so he could only try his best to cut off the opportunity for Yi Xin to meet his love partner.
Who knows, or failed.
Although he had been prepared, he still felt bad when he heard the news.
Li Yun sensed it and found that there were only him and Uncle Li in the room, and in the room next door to Yi Xin and Xue Xiaolian, there was only Xue Xiaolian alone.
I'm afraid Yi Xin has already gone on a date.
"How many days have I been in a coma?" Li Yun asked a little pessimistically.
Uncle Li shook his head, "It didn't take long, it was just over one night." ”
Li Yun looked at the window and took his phone again.
He hadn't been in a coma for long, and it hadn't even affected their trip to the chamber.
Li Yun exhaled.
"I'm fine. Well...... There are some things to tell Sister Xue. Uncle Li, come too. Li Yun lifted the quilt and got out of bed.
Uncle Li saw that he was in good spirits, so he was relieved.
Xue Xiaolian had checked Li Yun before. It's just that Xue Xiaolian is a demon after all, not a ghost, and her attention to ghosts is limited on weekdays, and she doesn't know many things about ghosts. It's that many ghosts themselves don't know their condition.
They can't find black and white impermanence to inquire about the situation. Even the pair of black and white impermanence encountered in the park disappeared without a trace, and it was impossible to contact them.
Uncle Li was worried all night. If it weren't for Li Yun's steady breathing and ghosting, he would definitely send Li Yun to the hospital for rescue.
Xue Xiaolian was basking in the sun in the guest room. She didn't look much different from what she did in the office.
It's just that the distance between this hotel and the adjacent building is limited, and there are people in the adjacent building looking here.
Li Yun looked at Xue Xiaolian's appearance, and then looked at the figure in the building next to him, and it was difficult to speak.
"Sister Xue."
"Oh. Are you alright? Xue Xiaolian lifted her eyelids.
After glancing at Li Yun, she sat up and looked at Li Yun carefully.
Li Yun didn't dodge.
He sat down on the made bed and assumed a serious conversational look.
Uncle Li also hurriedly sat down.
Xue Xiaolian didn't say anything, just looked at Li Yun like that.
"Sister Xue, boss, he ...... Is there a deliberate attempt to lend us the ability to use? Li Yun asked.
Xue Xiaolian's eyes flashed, "No wonder you have the temperature of the boss." Not...... Did you use the power of your boss? ”
"Yes. I...... I'm not sure ......," Li Yun frowned, "I felt my ID card burning at that time. ”
Li Yun took out his ID card and described his feelings in detail.
He didn't hide the emotions he felt. Even the faint cry for help he heard, and his own speculation, he told Xue Xiaolian.
"This thing, it's the church......" Uncle Li was taken aback.
"Well, it must have been made by those dolls. There may also be a mastermind behind it. They...... Let's take advantage of each other. Li Yun guessed.
Those dolls are definitely willing to be taken advantage of.
They want to be born again.
For example, Jiang Yuan, whom Li Yun had contacted before, even if they didn't have this mind, if they had the opportunity, they would definitely be willing to become human again.
In addition, I don't know how many dolls have been taken in in that church, so many souls, different minds, and have been locked up in that church for many years, and there are a few murderous demons, it is not surprising.
Li Yun has already caught some clues.
It's just that he is not confident at all about whether he can follow the vine and catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
The souls that are crying for help are too fragile and incomplete to even express the meaning of the cry for help.
What the number "78" represents, Li Yun has no clue for the time being.
“…… They are supposed to use the secret room game as a disguise. Li Yun analyzed, "The reservation system, the confined space, the number of people is small, and the steps are complicated...... There are a lot of places where you can use your hands and feet. Also, it's difficult to look up. If they do some work in the early stage, they can also pick and choose who they are. ”
Li Yun thought about the young man he saw.
Young people, not fragile children, not weak old people, this age should be just right for souls who want to be reborn.
I don't know how many people have been murdered.
"If that's the case, it doesn't have to be that complicated." Xue Xiaolian did not agree with Li Yun's speculation, "If you want to borrow a corpse to return the soul, there are many ways, and you can complete the exchange of souls by directly abducting people into a remote place." ”
Li Yun was stunned.
"There are so many of them." Uncle Li interjected.
"yes, there are so many of them." Xue Xiaolian said lightly, and showed a smile.
Li Yun was stunned.
There are many people.
This makes sense at all times.
There are so many dolls in the church waiting to take the bodies of the living, if they really let go of their hands and feet......
"This restriction is for those dolls." Li Yun said.
Xue Xiaolian nodded.
"That person will not only screen the living, but also those dolls. Possible...... Maybe it's going to be something to do with them......" Li Yun was confused.
What is he going to do with those dolls?
Among the victims Li Yun saw, there didn't seem to be any particularly wealthy and wealthy people.
Xue Xiaolian shrugged, "I don't know, and there's no need to study it in such detail." The boss can lend you power, and if you encounter such a ghost again, you can burn it to death. ”
Li Yun was speechless.
In the end, it's a youkai. No matter how different Xue Xiaolian and Yi Xin usually behave, in terms of killing people and destroying ghosts, the attitudes of the two monsters are exactly the same.
"Are you still going to that secret room?" Xue Xiaolian looked at the time.
"Of course." Li Yun nodded.
"If you want to find it this way, you have to run all over the country." Xue Xiaolian said again.
"Hmm...... 78! Li Yun said suddenly, "That number, it's the address, right?" ”
"Then it's not the one you booked." Xue Xiaolian was not interested in this.
Li Yun was entangled, "I'll check it first." ”
Because he found the key clues and got the help of his boss, he was full of energy.
When Uncle Li saw Li Yun like this, he also comforted him and helped Li Yun find it with his mobile phone.
Xue Xiaolian just looked at them, then turned her gaze and looked at the sun outside the window.
Phoenix Flame...... The boss lent out the strength, not always because he was helpful.
Humans are alien to youkai, or a group of strange aliens.
※※※※※
Compared to Li Yun's calmness, Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi couldn't be calm at all.
Fire, students, stab wounds, deaths......
Together, these keywords mean a big case.
Yan Shu and Lu Ziqi, who woke up, were in a daze, but they both remembered the fear of being hunted down.
The words blurted out are not real enough. At least, for ordinary people, what space crossing, what ghosts, that's all the nonsense of a child after being frightened.
It is an indisputable fact that two students were chased and killed by the teacher's children, and one of them was stabbed twice.
Yan Shu's back and arms were bandaged.
His mother's eyes were red and swollen from crying, and her whole body looked like a dehydrated vegetable, crumpled.
His father's face was dark, and his eyes were bloodshot.
Yan Shu looked at his parents, and his heart was sour.
He also remembered Teacher Sun.
Teacher Sun...... Presumably...... There will be no more ......
Thinking of this, Yan Shu's tears welled up.
The police who came to ask questions could only patiently comfort this big boy who was not yet an adult.
They don't know Yan Shu's impression among the teachers and students in the school, they just think that this child is obedient and sensible. Visiting the head teacher, but encountering such a thing, if you don't get it right, you will leave a shadow for a lifetime. It's pathetic.
Lu Ziqi and Yan Shu are not in the same ward. He didn't suffer many external injuries, and if it weren't for his poor mental condition, he would have been almost discharged from the hospital when he woke up. His parents hugged him and cried. Lu Ziqi also cried.
The investigation of the case is at an impasse.
From the two witnesses, the police could not ask for many useful clues for the time being. The scene of the crime was burned again, leaving no trace.
Now that I think about it, it's a miracle that these two boys were able to survive without any burns.
Most people think so.
Officer Qian is an exception.
Officer Qian and Captain Huang were smoking together. The two swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog and occupied the smoking area. When the other smokers saw the uniformed policemen there, they took their addiction and left.
"It's like that." Officer Qian extinguished the cigarette butt.
Captain Huang glanced at him.
"Don't say you don't think so." Officer Qian tugged at the corners of his mouth.
Captain Huang didn't squeak.
"It's a good person, killed his parents, and wanted to kill his mother's students, and finally set fire to himself and his own home...... Hey......" Officer Qian let out an indecipherable laugh.
Captain Huang also extinguished the cigarette butt, "Old Qian, where do you want to go?" ”
He didn't ask Officer Qian what he thought, but asked him "where did he go."
Officer Qian did not answer.
Both old partners knew the answer to this question.
The only difference, or difference, between the two, is that Officer Qian saw something with his own eyes, but Captain Huang didn't see it.
In the past, if someone was as yin and yang as him, Officer Qian himself would laugh at people first. He didn't believe that.
How is it possible to believe this?
It's just that I saw a ghost...... You say ghosts are ghosts? Can't it be a psychotic person who walks around in red and white clothes at night? Not to mention the real neurosis, where are the people who are idle and panicked? White clothes, red clothes, and not yellow robes, what's so strange?
Officer Qian talked to himself many times in his heart, but the more he recalled, the more he proved that his conjecture was not wrong. What he saw was not a simple female ghost in red or a ghost in white.
Officer Qian smiled wryly at Captain Huang, "I have to take a leave of absence." I can't do that. If you don't say it, I know it. He sighed.
When you encounter a case, think about it first, this is not the attitude of handling a case.
If everything is pushed to the top of the strange force, what do you need the police and the law to do?
Officer Qian can't let himself do that.
Even if there are indeed many doubts in this case, the fire is very strange, which is not the reason for him to treat the case this way.
It's just that he can't control his thoughts. is to repeatedly tell himself that such things are very rare, and most people will never encounter them once in their lives, and he will not be able to encounter them twice in a lifetime, or twice in a row, but he still can't help but think in that direction.
He felt like he was hooked.
In the words of the young man, his three views have been impacted. Few can deal with such an impact with a normal heart.
Captain Huang looked at Officer Qian, sighed as well, and patted him on the shoulder.
The two walked out of the smoking area.
They also need to ask the two children.
On the way to the ward, the two saw a figure.
The police's instincts led them to keep an eye on the man.
