Volume 2 The Hundred Ghosts and Sentient Beings Chapter 24 The Murmur of the Dead

"Look!" Hao Feng pointed to one of the pages and said, "These few sentences. ”

Looking in the direction of his finger, a few lines of words came into Gu Chuan's eyes.

The soul of the human gathered, in the name of the lamp, lead the deceased to step into the way home, but by the bridge, when you hear the murmur of the deceased, do not look back, the place of rebirth, forget the past, do not look back, do not look back, bliss, the deceased live forever.

After Gu Chuan finished reading silently, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he vaguely noticed that something was wrong.

The square, which had already been empty, was inexplicably filled with noisy human voices, and large expanses of strange gray mist emerged from the ground.

They floated in mid-air, gradually spreading around, and saw countless shadows emerge from the mist.

They walk, run, and jump, in a very blurry and gray color.

It's just that Gu Chuan's attention is not here at all at the moment.

"Is it a coincidence?"

These words on Hao Feng's finger have been read in a book.

At the beginning, both books were used by my father to pad the foot of the bed.

A copy of the Thirteen Evil Ghosts

The other is a handwritten book, the paper yellowed, the words almost erased by the years.

The annotation symbols are obscure and difficult to understand.

But Gu Chuan still remembers that notebook - "The Styx Lamp Bearer".

His expression was unpredictable, and his surprise could no longer be described as indescribable.

It was still a red light that woke him up, it turned out to be a pendant, and the faint light of its snake tail shook his eyes.

Noticing that the pendant was abnormal, he looked up and noticed that there were more and more of these things, and they were gradually converging towards them.

Gu Chuan turned his gaze to Hao Feng, "Let's go, go back to the city first, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time." ”

Hao Feng looked uncertain.

Seeing that he was at a loss, Gu Chuan didn't pay attention.

If you explain to him that it will take a lot of words, did you go out this morning without looking at the yellow calendar or what, seeing that the two goods were still standing in place, he became angry and said, "What's the matter, rushing to reincarnate?" If you want to die, why drag me. ”

Only he knew that these gray figures were all transformed by the newly deceased, without human form, and if they survived for seven days, then they would have resentment and become resentful spirits.

He sees it a lot.

Those countless shouts, shouts, crying, and angry voices were like magic sounds, and he felt trembling every time he heard them, let alone the crowds gathered here, this was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

I can only try not to provoke them, and go for the best policy.

"It's not me who wants to be reincarnated, it's them." Hao Feng was said inexplicably, and then he couldn't help muttering.

Gu Chuan stopped at his feet and said incredulously, "What did you say?" ”

Seeing him wave his hand, "It's nothing." ”

"Are you really deaf? Clearly, I heard you say that they are in a hurry to reincarnate? Can you see it? ”

"Invisible...... Wait a minute. Hao Feng just wanted to deny it, but his brain reacted, and he looked at Gu Chuan with a confused expression. Youβ€”can you see it too? ”

The two looked at each other.

Gu Chuan glanced around, and said impatiently, "Forget it, let's talk about it in another place." ”

It's better to get out of here first.

When he came home and entered the door, the breath that hung in his heart finally let go.

Ever since Hao Feng entered the door, his curiosity has not stopped.

It's the first time I've been to someone else's house, and I don't know where to converge, so I have to keep Gu Chuan staring at him so that he won't let him run around.

As for the book, the man put it on the coffee table as soon as he entered, completely oblivious to the purpose of his coming to himself.

"Brother, is this your house?" Hao Feng's tone was extremely excited, and a pair of eyes looked around the room, look here, look there.

I thought that this house would be full of many strange things, but now that I look at it, it is no different from ordinary people, and it is messy.

After Hao Feng looked at it, he began to mumble quietly, his eyes were on Gu Chuan, knowing that he had no words, he was empty-hearted, and quickly turned his gaze away.

A trace of displeasure appeared on Gu Chuan's face, if he was allowed to go to his aunt's house, he dared to guarantee that this guy's curiosity would not be exhausted.

Besides, I brought him back, just to avoid those things, as for the eyes.

Gu Chuan asked casually.

Hao Feng grinned and pointed to his eyes, "My grandmother used to be a goddess, she brought me up since I was a child, she said that my eyes are the eyes of heaven, which can peek into yin and yang." ”

It turned out to be the eye of heaven, and the corners of Gu Chuan's mouth curled, "Then what do those things you see look like?" ”

Hao Feng didn't notice the intention of his words, and said confidently: "Naturally, it is what they looked like when they were alive. ”

Gu Chuan sighed and fell into thought.

Seeing that Gu Chuan was silent for a long time, Hao Feng asked, "Brother, aren't you?" ”

Hear this.

Gu Chuan raised his head suddenly, his eyes flashed with a cold light, and he mysteriously approached him, "I, I can see the other side." ”。

This secret was hidden in his heart for a long time.

He had consulted countless books, and had searched for fortune tellers, priests, and warlocks.

But in the end, he didn't get the answer he wanted, so he chose to hide the secret and never intended to tell anyone else.

Hao Feng was the first person Gu Chuan was willing to talk to him, and he only mentioned it, and he wouldn't say the rest.

As if frightened by Gu Chuan's sudden expression, Hao Feng stood up abruptly and said, "Oh yes, I remember that there is something going on at home." ”

He clenched his hands nervously, beads of sweat on his forehead.

"Then you can go back." Seeing his appearance, Gu Chuan frowned, and then sat on the sofa.

He rubbed his temples with his hands, his eyes were fixed on Hao Feng, and when he said these words just now, his head suddenly felt as uncomfortable as being pricked by a needle.

As soon as he heard that he was leaving, he didn't intend to stop him.

"That's okay, brother, let's make an appointment to meet tomorrow and talk again." Hao Feng pulled out a smile and raised his mobile phone.

Before going out, Hao Feng's eyes swept to the living room, on the yellow cloth cover.

His eyes stopped in confusion, and then he turned to Gu Chuan with an ugly face, and a touch of horror appeared in his eyes.

A human face appeared in his eyes, it was close to Gu Chuan's face, it had no face, like a black hole.

Going down to the door of the community, Hao Feng glanced back timidly.

It was that face that scared him so much that he didn't dare to stay.

"Brother, isn't there anything in this house? How could you see such an evil thing. ”

Although Hao Feng was afraid, he didn't think about it, after all, he felt that Gu Chuan was a master, and he still didn't have to worry about these things.

In the living room, seeing that the guy ran away in a hurry, and even forgot to take the book, Gu Chuan chuckled.

I don't know what that guy is afraid of, this stool hasn't been heated yet.

Could it be that he was scared away by his own words?

Gu Chuan shook his head helplessly, and his headache was obviously much better.

He glanced around the room a few times in boredom, and suddenly stood up, his gaze fixed on the yellow cloth.

"Daddy, what is the reason for your obsession?"

Gu Chuan sighed and walked towards the yellow cloth.

The cloth was lifted to reveal the bronze statue underneath. Pick up the picture frame in your right hand.

The so-called other side is just being able to see through the eyes of the deceased.

He hunched over, his eyes fixed on the statue's serpent's head.

People become ghosts, obsession occupies the first place, and the ghosts and ghosts he sees are not the tragic state after death, but the whispers in their mouths.

Unwillingness, anger, desire, greed, these sounds are all too familiar to him, they are constantly repeated, and even in dreams he can change scenes with obsession.

His own sins are infinitely magnified and exposed before his eyes, and it is an obsession that can erode his mind.

Gu Chuan called it "the murmur of the dead".

He straightened up, put down the frame, and pulled out the pendant around his neck.

Lost in thought for a while, he has been aware of the abnormality of this pendant more than once.

And every time something terrible seemed to come across, he did not know for a moment whether it was a sign of an unknown prophet or whether it was caused by itself.

He was afraid of the latter.

"Daddy shouldn't hurt me."

He turned around and sat back on the couch, and picked up the talisman on the table to flip through it.

The doubts that had just accumulated in his heart lingered for a long time, but reading books was really difficult for him.

Before he knew it, he was sleepy, and the clock on the wall ticked and stopped.

The pendant on his chest glowed red again, this time from the snake's eyes.

The picture frame placed next to the statue, and the runes engraved on the back have a lot of traces of retreat.

"Run!"

The dull sound was accompanied by the creaking sound of the wall cracking, Gu Chuan suddenly woke up, he didn't hesitate, and rushed straight to his father's room.

On the originally white and flawless wall, a thin figure appeared, and there were several cracks lying on the wall.

Gu Chuan saw it in his eyes and gasped.

"Is it Li Tian?"

Gu Chuan asked tremblingly, but no one answered, "... Dad? ”

"Run! Come on! The figure twisted into a ball of pain, causing Gu Chuan to sit on the ground in fright.

Then he came back to his senses, and he glanced out the window, and it was daytime.

It's a dream!

He stood up, snatched the door out, and when he opened the door, he was greeted not by the dark hallway, but by his father's room.

He panicked and rushed out again, "It's still this room, why is it still this room." ”

Gu Chuan gritted his teeth, this is not Li Tian's dream, he is no longer here, so whose dream is it?

He tried again and again, the sound of heavy breathing echoing through the room.

As if he had completely lost his fighting wits, Gu Chuan's eyes were bloodshot and he shrank in the corner of the living room.

"Knock knock knock..."Gu Chuan hugged his knees tightly, lying on his knees, and looked at the room with scarlet eyes.

A boy of about ten years old stared at him with a blank face.

That's himself.

"Xiao Gu Chuan" pointed to the wall, his mouth moved, "You forgot, he's here!" ”

Gu Chuan understood in an instant, his eyes widened, and his shoulders trembled uncontrollably.

The wall cracked, and out of the shadows came a gray, dried corpse.

Its flesh was dry and boneless, its belly was sunken, its body was stiff, and it had a pair of withered arms.

The face was indecipherable.

But at first glance, Gu Chuan recognized it.

"Run!" The voice came from the abdomen of the dried corpse, Gu Chuan had no way to retreat, and shouted strangely: "Dad! ”

Suddenly, the clock turned, and everything turned into black smoke and vanished.

Gu Chuan's whole person was like an overturned teapot, Peng De fell from the sofa to the floor, and hit his head on the coffee table.

Warm liquid runs down the forehead.

He touched his forehead and stood up in pain, the book was open, and the walls were intact, without his childhood self, let alone a dry corpse.

He finally came back to reality.

But Gu Chuan did not have a sense of happiness for the rest of his life, but his face was indifferent.

He lowered his hand weakly and muttered, "How long are you going to torture me?" ”

In the dark, Gu Chuan seemed to hear a long sigh.

It's been ten years, ten years, Gu Chuan didn't dare to stay in this house and sleep, for fear that if he didn't pay attention to it, he would be invaded by the residual obsession.

That was my father's obsession, and it was also the shadow of his life.

"There's no next time." Gu Chuan walked gloomily towards the photo frame, he put the yellow cloth back on, and turned his head to look at the wall clock on the wall.

One o'clock in the morning.

He slept for an hour.

He stared at the frame again, subconsciously picked it up, and looked behind him.

He finally noticed that the rune was starting to blur.

"I see." Gu Chuan looked at the wall, and then walked towards the book.

The book is turned to one of the pages.

It reads "Corpse Curse." ”

Gu Chuan laughed out loud, laughing maniacally.

"Dad, you lied to me, you lied to me!"

His eyes widened in rage, and he threw the frame to the ground.
