Chapter 124 Five Outer Parts: Iron Hook 2

Jin Ling said, "This chair is right next to my bed, very close. It was empty at first, but after a while, a man in black suddenly sat."

Jin Ling wanted to see this face clearly, but the man lowered his head, and half of his long hair fell to cover his face, and only a pair of snow-white hands rested on the armrests.

He quietly adjusted the position of the mirror, but as soon as his wrist moved, he seemed to sense something, and the woman slowly raised her head.

That face was covered with dozens of bloody knife marks.

Wei Wuxian was not surprised, but the younger generation were dumbfounded.

"Wait?" Lan Jingyi put a bowl of porridge in front of Jin Ling, and said, "A female ghost? How could it be a female ghost? Would you be frightened and misunderstood..."

Jin Ling slapped it with a palm: "I don't want to listen to anyone who says I'm stupid. Although blood is blood and hair is hair, I can't tell what it looks like, but the bun and clothes are all in the style of young women, it's definitely true. It's because we looked in the wrong direction." He said, "Although there is indeed grievance on the iron hook, it is probably not the hooker who is making trouble in the white room."

Lan Jingyi said, "You didn't take the time to take a closer look and see her appearance... Maybe you can check her identity based on her appearance, such as moles or birthmarks."

Jin Ling said angrily, "You think I don't want to. I originally thought about it, but the girl noticed the moonlight reflected by the mirror, and immediately looked up here, the mirror caught her eye, and I accidentally looked at her. already."

When you are discovered by evil spirits while spying, you must not look at it any longer. You must immediately put down the mirror, close your eyes, and pretend to be asleep. If this is not the case, it will stimulate the evil nature of the evil and increase its killing intent. Lan Jingyi said, "It's very dangerous and dangerous..."

There was a lot of talk at the table: "But the Snitch didn't see a woman in his eyes."

"I didn't see it doesn't mean I didn't, maybe the Snitch was in the wrong position..."

"No, this female ghost, why is she a female ghost, who is she!"

Lan SiZhui said, "The woman's face has been slashed dozens of times, so she is probably one of the many victims of the hooker. What Jin Ling saw must be the afterimage of her resentment."

The afterimage of resentment is the constant reappearance of a scene with deep resentment. Usually just before death, or something that makes it hate the most.

Jin Ling said: "Well. I saw the white house in the mirror last night. The furnishings are completely different from the present, like an inn. Before the Baifu was built, there used to be an inn here. That woman was in this inn. murdered."

Lan Jingyi said: "Oh, speaking of which, indeed, someone mentioned in the things we found that the hook hand can easily open the lock of the inn. He often sneaks in at night and picks up women who are alone!"

Lan SiZhui said, "And the room where this girl, or Madam, was killed, happens to be in the same location as the White House built by the White House!"

It's no wonder that the master of the Bai family insisted that there were no old secret cases in the Bai mansion, and no one was killed. It was not because they deliberately concealed it, but because they were really innocent, and it really had nothing to do with them!

Jin Ling picked up the porridge and took a sip, pretending to be calm, "I knew for a long time that things wouldn't be so simple. It's alright, it's something to solve anyway."

Wei WuXian said, "Jin Ling, you'll get some sleep later, and you have to work at night."

Lan Jingyi glanced at his bowl and said, "Senior Wei, you haven't finished eating, so don't leave any leftovers."

Wei WuXian said, "Don't eat it. Eat more, Jingyi, you're going to be in the lead tonight."

Lan Jingyi was startled, and almost lost the bowl: "Ah? Me?? Fighting, what are you fighting for?!"

Wei WuXian said, "Jin Ling didn't finish watching it last night, so let's watch it together today to get to know it. You take the lead."

Lan Jingyi paled: "Senior Wei, did you make a mistake, how could it be me?"

Wei WuXian said, "There's no mistake. Everyone has a share in the experience, everyone has a chance, and everyone has to go. Sizhui and Jin Ling have already gone, and the next decision is yours."

"Why did it decide to be me next..."

Of course, Wei Wuxian wouldn't say it outright because he only remembered Lan Jingyi's name among the group of children except Lan Sizhui and Jin Ling, he just patted him on the shoulder and encouraged, "This is a good thing! Look at the others, Everyone think about it."

"How can anyone else, haven't they all run away long ago!"

No matter how Lan Jingyi protested, at midnight, he was still pushed to the front of the white room.

There are several benches outside the white room, and the rows are full of people. One person pokes a window hole in the paper, and the paper window becomes riddled with holes in an instant, which is horrible to see.

Lan SiZhui poked the hole in his window with one finger, and said to himself, "I always feel... this can't be called 'spying' at all. If it's poked like this, it's better to just remove the paper window..."

As expected, Lan Jingyi was mentioned by Wei Wuxian to the frontmost position. From this place, he could see the most complete and clearest things. If you go to the theater, it is a first-class seat that is hard to find. It's a pity that Lan JingYi doesn't want this first class at all.

He was sandwiched between Jin Ling and Lan Sizhui, and he said tremblingly, "Can I sit in another place..."

Wei Wuxian kept walking around and said, "I can't."

When the others heard it, they all felt that Wei Wuxian's three-character tone was quite authentic from Lan Wangji, and some even snickered twice. Wei Wuxian said, "The mentality is good, it's so relaxed, it's pretty good."

Lan SiZhui, who couldn't hold back just now, quickly turned serious. Wei WuXian said to Lan JingYi again, "Look, I don't even have a seat, so don't be in the midst of bliss and be ignorant of your bliss."

Lan Jingyi said, "Senior, can I give you your seat..."

Wei Wuxian said, "I can't."

Lan Jingyi: "Then what's the point?"

Wei WuXian said, "You can ask questions."

Lan Jingyi couldn't, so he had to say to Lan SiZhui, "SiZhui, if I faint later, you, your notes will be copied to me."

Lan SiZhui didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Okay."

Lan Jingyi breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then I'm relieved."

Lan Sizhui encouraged, "Don't worry, Jingyi, you can definitely persevere."

Lan Jingyi just showed a grateful expression when Jin Ling patted him on the shoulder, looking very reliable, and said, "Yes, don't worry, if you faint, I will wake you up immediately."

Police Lan Jingyi slapped his hand away: "Go away, go away, the ghost knows what means you will use to wake me up."

While muttering, a blood-colored halo appeared on the paper window, as if someone suddenly lit a red light in the dark room.

Everyone immediately fell silent and held their breaths.

The red light also leaked from the small window holes, and the prying eyes seemed to be covered with bloodshots.

Lan Jingyi raised his hand tremblingly and said, "Senior...why, why does this room look so red? I, I have never seen such a blood-red afterimage. Is there a red light?"

Lan SiZhui whispered, "It's not the blood-red light, it's because, this person..."

Jin Ling said, "It's because this person's eyes got blood."

In the red light, something new suddenly appeared in the room.

A chair, and a "person" sitting on the chair.

Wei WuXian said, "Jin Ling, this is what you saw last night?"

Jin Ling nodded and said, "However, I didn't look carefully last night. She wasn't sitting on a chair... She was tied to a chair."

As he said, the woman's hands on the armrest were tightly bound by hemp ropes.

Everyone was still waiting to take a closer look. At this moment, a black shadow flashed by, and another figure appeared in the room.

There is even a "person".

As for the second person, the eyelids and upper and lower lips of the face were cut off. He couldn't blink or close his mouth. His bloodshot eyeballs and bright red gums were exposed, which was more terrifying than the legendary one. 10,000 times!

Lan Jingyi lost his voice: "Hook hands!"

"What's the matter, isn't the iron hook melted? Why is the hook hand still there?"

"There are actually two evil spirits in this house??"

Hearing this, Wei WuXian said, "Two? Are there one or two evil spirits in this room? Can someone explain clearly?"

Lan SiZhui said, "One."

Jin Ling also said: "One. The hook hand in this white room is not a real murderous spirit, but an afterimage in the dying scene that the woman restored with grievances."

Lan Jingyi said, "Although it's an afterimage, it's completely undiminished!!"

While they were talking, the face slowly moved towards the wooden door. The face was getting closer, clearer and more sinister. Even if everyone knew that this was just an afterimage, and the iron hook that really attached the residual resentment of the hook hand had been refined, this afterimage would never really pass through the door, but there was always a creepy thought lingering:

Discovered by him!

If the unfortunate Snitch peeked into the White House in the middle of the night and saw just this scene, no wonder he had a heart attack.

The face was approaching less than a foot away from the paper window, and after a long pause, he turned around and strode towards the chair.

Everyone just started to breathe again.

Inside, Hooker walked up and down the house, old wooden boards crunching under his feet. Outside, Jin Ling suddenly became strange.

He said, "I've been concerned about one thing since just now."

Lan SiZhui said, "What's the matter?"

Jin Ling said, "The afterimage of resentment must be the scene before this woman's death. That's right. However, when faced with a murderous madman, would ordinary people be so calm and not make a sound at all? In other words."

He said, "This woman is clearly awake, why didn't she call for help?"

Lan Jingyi said, "Are you scared?"

Jin Ling said: "That's not to say nothing, not even to cry. When women are extremely afraid, shouldn't they cry?"

Lan SiZhui said, "Is the tongue still there?"

Jin Ling said: "There is no blood at the corner of the mouth, it should still be there. And even if you lose your tongue, you won't be able to speak, and you won't be able to make a sound at all."

Lan Jingyi was sandwiched between the two of them, as if he was about to die: "Can you guys stop discussing such terrifying things in such a calm tone in my ear..."

A teenager said, "Could it be because this inn is abandoned, or because no one else is there, and I know it's useless to shout, so I just stopped shouting?"

Lan Jingyi, who can see the most clearly here, has something to say: "No, look at this afterimage, the furnishings in the house are not dusty, obviously they have been in use, it is impossible that no one else is there, otherwise she will not live in what."

Jin Ling said, "You're not so stupid that there is no cure. Besides, it's one thing to have someone else, and it's another thing to call you. For example, being chased and killed in the wilderness, even if you know you won't. If there is a third person who can come to save him, wouldn't he still be afraid to call for help?"

Wei Wuxian applauded softly from the side, and said in a low voice, "Oh my god, he is indeed Sect Master Jin."

Jin Ling blushed and said angrily, "What are you doing, don't distract me like this!"

Wei WuXian said, "This way you can be distracted, which shows that concentration still needs to be practiced. Look, look, the hook hand seems to be about to start!"

Everyone quickly turned to look. saw that the hook hand took out a loop of hemp rope, put it around the woman's neck, and was slowly tightening it.

The sound of twisting hemp rope!

It turns out that this is what the master of the Bai family said, the source of the strange "squeaking" noise in the white house every night.

The dozens of scars on the woman's face bleed profusely under the squeeze, but she just didn't make a sound. Everyone looked worried, and someone couldn't help but urged in a low voice: "Call, call someone!"

But contrary to their expectations, the victim did not move, but the murderer moved. The hemp rope suddenly loosened, and the hook hand took out a shiny iron hook from behind.

A group of teenagers were terrified outside the door, wishing they would jump in instead of the woman and roar wildly, waking up the whole city. The back of the hook hand blocked their view, and a hand was handed forward. From them, they could only see the back of a hand on the armrest, and the back of the hand suddenly appeared with blue veins.

Even at this point, the woman still didn't say a word!

Jin Ling couldn't help but began to doubt: "Is she mentally abnormal?"

"What do you mean by mental disorder?"

"Probably... stupid."

"..."

Although it sounds very rude to say that people are stupid, but according to the situation, it is the most likely situation, otherwise, if it is a normal person, why is there no response at this moment?

Lan Jingyi saw her brain hurt and turned her face away. Wei Wuxian said in a low voice, "I'm optimistic."

Lan Jingyi couldn't bear it, and said, "Senior, I... I really can't watch it any longer."

Wei WuXian said, "There are things in the world that are a thousand times more tragic than this. If you don't dare to face them directly, you don't need to talk about anything else."

Hearing this, Lan Jingyi was calm, turned his head and gritted his teeth, and continued to look on with a miserable expression. Who knows, at this moment, the sudden change occurred——

The woman suddenly opened her mouth and bit the hook!

This bite caused a group of teenagers outside the door to jump up in a row.

The hook hand in the house also seemed to be taken aback, and immediately retracted his hand, but after pulling it, he was unable to pull the hook out of the woman's teeth. The iron hook to take someone else's tongue, somehow, cut his own belly!

The teenagers shouted "Aah" indiscriminately, almost all of them slammed on the door, one by one can't wait to put their eyeballs through the window hole into the white room to take a closer look. Hook's hand was hurt and hurt, and he was stunned for a moment, as if thinking of something, his right hand grabbed the woman's heart, as if she was going to dig out her heart alive, the woman rolled with the chair again, dodging the heart-piercing blow, "Chi la", but the clothes on the chest were scratched.

In this situation, the young people don't care about the tangle and see no evil.

What made them stunned was that the "woman"'s chest was actually flat and flat.

Where is this "woman" - this person is actually a man disguised as a woman!

The hook hand rushed forward and pinched his neck with his bare hands, but he forgot that the hook was still in the other's mouth. The man turned his head sharply, and the iron hook cut into his wrist instantly. One tried to break the other's neck, and the other tried to give the other a big bloodletting. For a while, the two were at a deadlock...

It wasn't until the roosters crowed and the red light in the house disappeared, the afterimages all faded away.

And the circle of teenagers around the door of the white house looked sluggish.

After a long while, Lan Jingyi stammered, "This, this, these two..."

In everyone's mind, there is a thought:

These two, in the end, neither of them will survive...

Unexpectedly, the evil spirit who had tossed the Bai Mansion for decades was not the hooker, but the hero who removed the hooker.

The discussion was in full swing.

"I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that the hook hand was subdued like this..."

"If you think about it, this is the only way, right? After all, the hook is a ghost, and no one knows where he is. If you don't pretend to be a woman to lead him out, you can't catch him at all."

"But it's so dangerous!"

"It's very dangerous. Look, didn't this chivalrous man get tied up by his trick, so he was in a disadvantageous situation from the beginning. Otherwise, if the two were facing each other, how could they be so disadvantaged!"

"Yeah, and he still can't call anyone to help. Hook hands kill countless people with ferocity. Even if they call for ordinary people, I'm afraid most of them will be sent to death..."

"That's why he refused to call out for help!"

"It's all over..."

"The rumors didn't mention the righteous deeds of this chivalrous man! I really don't understand."

"It's normal. Compared with heroes and chivalrous men, everyone still thinks the legend of the murderer is more interesting."

Jin Ling analyzed: "The unwillingness of the deceased to die is nothing more than a desire for unfinished personal affairs. And the deceased with an incomplete body is unwilling to die, often because he has not recovered the part of his lost body. Why did he make trouble? Here it is."

Even if it is a fat thing, it will be reluctant to carry it on your body for decades, not to mention a piece of meat in your mouth.

Lan Jingyi was already in awe when she heard it: "Then we have to find out the tongue and burn it to him as soon as possible, so that he can die!"

Everyone was gearing up, and Huo Ran stood up and said, "Yes, how can such a hero be allowed to die without a corpse!"

"Look, look, start from the graveyard in the west of the city, the cemetery, the entire Bai Mansion, and the old house where the hook hand lived in the past, don't miss a single one."

A group of teenagers were full of energy and rushed out the door. Before leaving, Jin Ling turned to look at Wei Wuxian.

Wei WuXian asked, "What's wrong?"

During the discussion of the crowd just now, Wei Wuxian was noncommittal and didn't say a word, causing Jin Ling to feel uneasy and wonder if something went wrong. But after thinking about it carefully, I felt that I didn't miss any important points, so I said, "It's nothing."

Wei Wuxian smiled and said, "If you don't have anything, then go find it. Be patient."

Jin Ling went out in a dignified manner.

It took several days before he knew what Wei Wuxian meant by "be patient".

Wei Wuxian brought Lan Sizhui to find the iron hook before, and it only took half an hour in total. But this time, Wei Wuxian didn't intervene in the search for the tongue.

When Lan Jingyi jumped up holding a piece of something, everyone else was almost collapsed from exhaustion.

However, although they were tossing around in the wild graves, their bodies were messed up, their clothes were disheveled and they smelled bad, but everyone was very happy. Because after hearing what they said, Wei Wuxian told them the truth very seriously: Just relying on them, finding it in five days was a great deal. You know, there are so many monks who just gave up after ten days and a half.

A group of people were excited and swirled around the dead man's tongue. It is said that something with a vicious aura will turn blue, and that piece of thing is not only blue, it is so blue that it turns black, it is so hard that it suffocates the hand, and there is a suffocating aura, and it is impossible to tell that it was a piece of human flesh. If not, it would have rotted long ago.

After some practice, he burned his tongue, and it seemed that a major event had finally come to an end.

To get to this point, it should be done no matter what.

Therefore, Jin Ling was quite satisfied with this night hunt.

Who knows, before being satisfied for a few days, the master of the Bai family came to Jinlintai again.

It turned out that after burning the chivalrous man's tongue, he was indeed calm for two days. However, only two days.

On the third night, there was another strange noise in the white house, and it became more and more arrogant every day. On the fifth night, the whole white house was so disturbed that he couldn't sleep.

This time, it was menacing, more frightening than ever before. The strange sound was neither twisting hemp rope nor cutting meat—it became a human voice!

According to the description of the owner of the Bai family, the voice was very hoarse, as if the tongue that had not been used for many years was moving heavily, and the words could not be understood clearly, but it was indeed a man screaming in agony.

After calling out, cried, miserable, at first weak, gradually louder and louder, and finally almost hysterical, very pitiful and terrifying. Not to mention the White House, you can hear it even three blocks away from the White House, and the screams make passers-by shudder and lose their minds.

Jin Ling is also a big head. In recent years, he has been so busy that he has no time to take care of it himself, so he sent a few disciples to check it out. After came back, reported that there was no harm except that the screaming was indeed very miserable.

Disturbing people doesn't count.

When handing over the night hunting notes, Lan Sizhui told Lan Wangji and Wei Wuxian about it. After hearing this, Wei Wuxian took a cake from Lan Wangji's desk and ate it, "Oh, there's nothing to worry about."

Lan Sizhui said, "There's nothing to worry about if you call it this...? Logically speaking, after the obsession is over, the soul of the dead should be released."

Wei WuXian said, "It's true that you can save the souls of the dead by ending obsessions. However, have you ever thought that maybe that chivalrous man's real obsession isn't to find his tongue and reincarnate?"

Lan Jingyi finally got A this time. Thinking that there is no need to punish copying anymore, she was so happy that she was weeping secretly. At this time, she couldn't help but say, "What is that? Is it that everyone can't sleep because of howling every night?"

Unexpectedly, Wei Wuxian really nodded, "Exactly."

Lan SiZhui was stunned: "Senior Wei, what's the explanation for this?"

Wei WuXian said, "Didn't you infer earlier that this chivalrous man didn't want the lives of innocent others to be endangered, so when he was tortured by the hooker, he tried his best to endure and refused to make a sound?"

Lan SiZhui sat upright and said, "Exactly. What's wrong?"

Wei WuXian said, "It's not wrong, but I'll ask you a question - if there is a murderous maniac, dangling in front of you with a knife, bleeding your blood, slashing your face, strangling your neck, Hook your tongue, is it scary or not? Are you afraid or not? Want to cry or not?"

Lan Jingyi thought for a while, then said with a pale face, "Help!"

Lan Sizhui said sternly, "The family motto is clear, even if you are in danger..."

Wei WuXian: "SiZhui, don't talk to me, what I'm asking you is if you're afraid, just tell me."

Lan SiZhui blushed, his waist straightened, and said, "SiZhui doesn't—"

Wei Wuxian: "No?"

Lan SiZhui said honestly, "I can't say I'm not afraid. Cough."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Lan Wangji nervously.

Wei WuXian was overjoyed: "What are you ashamed of? When people are in pain and fear, they will be afraid, they will want someone to save them, they want to shout and cry, this is not human nature? Do you think so? Guangjun, look at your family SiZhui, I'm afraid of being punished by you, so I secretly watched you. Just say yes. If you say 'yes', it means that you agree with my point of view, and you won't punish him."

With his elbow, he gently stabbed Lan Wangji's lower abdomen a few times, while he was sitting at the front of his neck and taking notes, Lan Wangji said without changing his expression, "Yes."

After he finished speaking, he wrapped his arms around his waist and locked it tightly, preventing him from moving, and continued to approve the notes that he had handed in.

Lan SiZhui's face turned even redder.

Wei WuXian couldn't break free after struggling twice, so he maintained this posture and continued to say to Lan SiZhui seriously, "So, to hold back and not scream is indeed heroic, but it goes against the nature of human beings. It's also true."

Lan SiZhui tried his best to ignore his posture, thought for a while, and felt a little sympathy for the chivalrous man.

Wei WuXian asked, "Is Jin Ling still bothering about this?"

Lan Jingyi said, "Yes, the size... er, Young Master Jin doesn't know what went wrong."

Lan SiZhui said, "Then, if that's the case, how should we deal with such evil?"

Wei WuXian said, "Let him call."

"..."

Lan SiZhui said, "Just, let him call?"

Wei WuXian said, "Yes. If you have called enough, you will naturally leave."

Lan Sizhui's sympathy was immediately divided in half to everyone in the Bai residence.

Fortunately, although the chivalrous person has grievances and grievances, he has no intention of harming others.The strange sound from the white room continued for several months before it gradually subsided.Presumably, after the death of the chivalrous man, he finally shouted enough for the unfinished call before his death, and reincarnated with satisfaction.

It only hurt everyone in the Bai Mansion. For a long time, they were tossing and turning in pain and couldn't sleep at night.And the White House has once again become famous.
