Chapter 10: A wave of nausea filled the Mirror Ghost's heart
Soon, the door opened.
Inside the door stood a woman in an apron, about forty years of age, with some freckles on her face, who seemed to have been cooking before, and her hands were greasy.
Rubbing it on her apron, the woman showed a narrow smile: "Two of you, please come in, the building has not been peaceful recently, everyone is more careful." ”
"It's okay." Chen Xue smiled officially, and the two walked in.
The woman brought two cups of boiling water and placed them on the coffee table and asked, "What's going on?" It's just me and my son at home, so it should have nothing to do with us. ”
"Your son? Can you call him out. Chen Xue seemed to have thought of something.
"My son is only eight years old, so he can't do anything bad, right?" The woman's face was a little ugly.
"Sister, don't get me wrong, every family is like this, everyone in the family needs to register to make sure there are no outsiders." Chen Xue casually made up a reason.
The woman nodded and went to lie on her side.
Taking advantage of her leaving, Chen Xue looked at Jiang Chen with a strange face: "I used the documents of the security station to ask the residents in the building before, and found that in addition to Zhang Meimei, there is a strange person in this building. ”
"Many people have seen a little boy who often squatted in the shadow of the hallway, eating with his back to others."
Jiang Chen's eyes moved, and he remembered the "friend" that the little girl said before.
"And I also learned from the nearby police station that the previous three victims had different degrees of missing hands, feet, internal organs and other parts." Chen Xue said again.
Hearing this, Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed.
Previously, the victims of 502 only had facial injuries, but their bodies were intact, and the killing characteristic of disfigured ghosts was that they only cut off their faces.
This suggests that there is something else, that the limbs of those corpses have been cut off.
"I'm sorry, Yangyang is too shy, why don't you go to his room and ask?" The woman stepped out from her side and said apologetically.
"Okay." Chen Xue nodded.
"Then I'll go cook first, the two comrades have worked hard, let's have dinner here later, right?" The woman walked to the kitchen.
Jiang Chen and Chen Xue entered the side bed.
A little boy was lying on the table writing and drawing, his face was very pale, as if he had not seen the sun for a long time, and there was a faint foul smell in his mouth.
Chen Xue glanced at Jiang Chen and asked Jiang Chen to be careful, she was almost sure that the little boy was the ghost who attacked her.
Jiang Chen's eyes were condensed with demonic power, and he saw that wisps of black resentment did emerge from the little boy's body.
However, he had tried it outside before, and almost all places on the fifth or sixth floors of this building had such resentment, and he turned his head to see that Chen Xue had the same effect.
The demonic power could not directly help him identify a ghost who wanted to disguise himself.
"Kid, did you just stay in your room?" Chen Xue tried to ask, she also had no way to determine the ghost now, she could only guide the other party to reveal the flaws.
However, the other party only looked up at her, then lowered his head and didn't say a word.
"We're your mom's friends, you don't have to be afraid." Jiang Chen said with a smile.
Who knew that when these words came out, the little boy suddenly raised his head and stared at him, and said seriously: "Do you mean the woman outside?" She's not my mom. ”
These words made Jiang Chen and Chen Xue stunned.
"No, there is a family portrait of a family of three outside, and it is clearly the woman and this child, is he trying to confuse us?" Chen Xue whispered.
Jiang Chen nodded, he also saw the family photo, but at this moment, his eyes were a little deep, and he deliberately asked, "Little friend, did you have a conflict with your mother, so you deliberately said that?" ”
"No, she used to be my mom." The little boy's expression was surprisingly serious: "One night, my mother was washing her hair in front of the mirror in the toilet, and when my father came over, she suddenly raised her head and asked my father to help her peel an apple. ”
"Dad listened and went to get a knife and an apple, and I was watching TV on the couch."
"I didn't dare to tell my father, only my mother looked up in the mirror, and the real mother neither looked up nor said she wanted to eat apples."
"What?" Chen Xue was stunned.
Jiang Chen's eyes moved, the woman's behavior before was actually very abnormal, there was a fight downstairs, but she didn't ask after the two came in, and she didn't seem to be curious at all.
"My dad had a habit of peeling apples, and he did it that night." The little boy continued.
After the apple was peeled, he handed it over, and this time the mother outside the mirror turned her head to take the apple, while the mother in the mirror had been washing her hair.
Hearing this, Chen Xue's face changed.
"I didn't dare to say anything, because my father didn't seem to see anything abnormal, so two days later, my father was gone, and at noon that day my mother made a lot of meat dishes, but I didn't dare to eat a bite."
"After that, my mother would sometimes go out and buy a lot of meat, but I would never dare to eat her food again."
"When I'm hungry, I will go downstairs to the trash can to pick up food, and secretly eat in the corridor before going home, and sometimes Liu Xiaoyao of 402 will also share a little food with me."
"Mom seemed to know about my behavior, but she never cared and still cooked a lot of meat dishes every time."
After listening to the little boy's words, Chen Xue pulled Jiang Chen aside.
"What do you think?"
"He shouldn't be lying." Jiang Chen said in a deep voice: "I have heard a strange urban story, after peeling an apple in front of the mirror at twelve o'clock in the morning, as long as the skin is continuous, you can see the mirror ghost." ”
"And if it is not operated properly, the mirror ghost will occupy the person's body and steal his life!"
"That person's soul will be sealed in a mirror for the rest of his life."
"I've heard that too." Chen Xue nodded.
"But I need to be sure." Jiang Chen took her out and came to the toilet of this house, what made the pupils of the two shrink was that the traces of glue that had been glued to the mirror before could be faintly seen on the wall, but the mirror was gone.
The two of them instantly confirmed their inner guess.
Because that's also part of the mirror ghost talk.
In order to prevent the soul of the occupied person from returning, it will smash the mirror that calls out of itself!
"Ready, Yangyang! Two comrades from the security station, let's get ready for dinner. "The woman brought out from the kitchen a plate of five or six dishes, all meat, which made people tired at the sight.
Jiang Chen and Chen Xue walked over, and the little boy also came out, but no one moved the chopsticks.
"Hehe, isn't it appetizing?" The woman smiled and looked very enthusiastic: "Don't eat anything, eat quickly." ”
Jiang Chen looked at the table full of dishes and sighed: "I'm sorry, I have high requirements for food." ”
The woman was stunned for a moment, and reluctantly smiled: "What does this little brother like to eat?" I'll do it for you again. ”
"High-end ingredients often use the most simple cooking method, big sister, will you make sashimi for large intestines?" Jiang Chen said.
The woman's mouth opened.
Large intestine...... Sashimi?
"There was a wave of nausea in the mirror ghost's heart, and the ghost aura was +20."
