Chapter 8 Obsession

Early the next morning, the phone vibrated desperately beside the pillow, Ye Feng was sleepy, picked it up and looked at it, it said "Lu Yingjiu".

He connected and yawned: "Why - I'm still sleeping."

Lu Yingjiu said: "Yesterday, the police checked it overnight. They came to Lujiang City from Dingyang Town with Zhang Hong and Chen Songhai. There was also a man named Yang Meng. When they went to find Yang Meng, the boy was at the train station. , fortunately it was stopped."

"What did Yang Meng say? Are you willing to explain anything?"

"He has a ghost in his heart. He knew that Zhang Hong and Chen Songhai died in a strange way, and he was too scared to die. Now he will explain everything when he asks. He said that last year in Dingyang Town, the three of them got drunk and saw Ji Cai who was off the night shift. I went up to molest her, but it turned from a quarrel into a physical conflict, and Ji Cai accidentally fell into the water while pushing, and I saw her body downstream the next day."

He continued: "Those three didn't dare to speak up and were going to flee to other cities, but when they bought train tickets, they found that they only had tickets to Lujiang City that day - this is of course not a coincidence, it was Ji Cai's revenge, in order to attract them to her hometown, where her body was transferred."

Ye Feng asked, "What happened to Zhong Aiguo? He also offended Ji Cai?"

"I don't know, I plan to go to Lotus Elementary School."

"What are you going to do there?"

Lu Yingjiu said: "Ji Cai worked as a language teacher at Lianhua Primary School before she went to volunteer teaching. The police investigated Zhong Aiguo's whereabouts within a month overnight and found that he had been to Lianhua Primary School three times before and after, both during the day and at night, each time he stayed. more than 3 hours."

Ye Feng was stunned for a moment: "You are so interested in this case?"

In my impression, Lu Yingjiu was only interested in very special supernatural events.

"I wasn't interested at first." Lu Yingjiu said, "but Ji Cai came to me yesterday. She stood at the head of the bed in the middle of the night and looked at me, I thought, it was quite interesting. I wanted to communicate with her, but she didn't. If she didn't speak, I burned her again with the runes. She shoveled all the ashes into the trash can, and even put them in several garbage bags. This morning, Lao Liu told me that her body had returned to the Meihua community. downstairs."

Ye Feng: "...To be honest, it sounds a bit scary. I mean the ashes."

"What's scary, I also sorted out non-recyclable garbage."

Ye Feng: "..."

Lu Yingjiu said, "So, are you coming?"

"Come." Ye Feng rolled over and got out of bed, "See you there at half past eight."

40 minutes later, the two stood at the gate of Lotus Elementary School.

Today is Friday, and the school is full of hustle and bustle. The children are screaming one after another, running faster than a dog, venting their excess energy.

Lu Yingjiu went straight to the back door of the school.

Ye Feng stopped him: "Hey, hey, where are you going, the gate is here!"

"I can't get in. They said they can give me permission in the afternoon, but I can't wait." Lu Yingjiu said, "We don't look like parents of students either."

This is true.

The two of them stood outside, carrying schoolbags like college students, but they didn't look like people with children.

So they went around to the back door, where there was a wall that was neither high nor low, about two people tall.

Just as Ye Feng was about to say that I would hold you up, he saw Lu Yingjiu take five or six steps back and accelerate suddenly! He stepped on the wall a few steps and hooked the top of the wall with his right hand, kicked two more steps on the wall, and turned over in less than two seconds, turning around and saying, "Why don't you come up."

This series of actions can be called smooth flow, Ye Feng looked up at him: "Are you always over the wall when you are studying?"

"Yeah, turn it over every day." Lu Yingjiu smiled and stretched out his hand, "Come on, good student, I'll pull you up."

Behind the wall is the playground. In the distance, a group of elementary school students are in physical education class.

While walking, Lu Yingjiu said, "Ji Cai used to be a Chinese teacher in Grade 6, Class 4. After she died, her grandmother came here to take away some of her things - but not much. Three months ago, her grandmother also After she passed away, she had no other relatives, and the relics were cleaned up by the landlord and can't be found now."

It's easy to want to obliterate a person's existence in life.

The relic is lost, the memory fades, and there is nothing left.

The shadows of the trees swirled and fell on Lu Yingjiu's body. He was thinking about something, rubbing the longevity lock lightly.

Ye Feng didn't know what to do, so he became sad: "Don't worry, your female ghost will definitely remember you. You will have a litter of children, and everyone will remember you."

Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

Lu Yingjiu said, "You're still talking about this. People don't want to come to see me. It's been so many years."

Ye Feng patted him on the shoulder: "If she doesn't come to you, I'll be your fragrant ghost girl and be together forever."

Lu Yingjiu felt a chill, took a small step back, and stayed away from Ye Feng.

Ye Feng leaned over again: "Hey, I'm serious, don't you think about finding a girlfriend? The female ghost doesn't know if it's true or not. You can't hang yourself on a tree."

"Why are you like a relative who urged marriage?" Lu Yingjiu shook his head and smiled, "I'm not interested, besides, I run outside every day, and it's normal that I don't go home for a few days and weeks, and I have no core competitiveness at all. "

"Not only do you not go home, but you often skip meals."

"busy."

"You're busy, you want to have a stomach problem?" Ye Feng hated that iron was not steel, "so you should find someone powerful to take care of you."

Lu Yingjiu still shook his head: "I will die sooner or later, so I won't harm others."

"You talk nonsense, who won't die."

"That's not what you mean," Lu Yingjiu smiled, "I like exciting and dangerous events, and I can't stop in my bones - I know that this is likely to be the cause of my death. How did you say that? I It has beaten Reaper many times, but it only needs to beat me once. Probably, the chances of me dying well are almost zero."

Ye Feng was speechless for a while, and after a long time he said, "What is immortal, don't be a crow... You are the most powerful ghost exorcist I have ever seen."

Lu Yingjiu shrugged.

Ye Feng looked at him and thought that what he needed was not a splendid female ghost, but someone who could fight side by side with him, climb the wall together every day, and cook by the way.

... Although he didn't figure out for a while, where to find such an almighty person.

Entering the teaching building, they bumped into a very young trainee teacher-she was holding a stack of exam papers, her smooth black hair was draped over a beige shirt.

Lu Yingjiu stepped forward and said, "Hello, we are the family members of Teacher Ji Cai. When she left her job, she missed something here. Let us help you get it."

The intern teacher hesitated: "I'm sorry, I don't know her, why don't you go to the office and ask?"

It was almost two years ago that Ji Cai worked here, so it's normal not to know each other. Of course Lu Yingjiu didn't expect to ask directly.

Lu Yingjiu smiled: "She said that things shouldn't be thrown away. Where do you keep your sundries?"

"The belongings of the former employees are all in the utility room on the first floor. The security guard is in charge of the keys there. You have to ask Mr. Ji to call him before letting you in." The teacher replied.

The two of them went downstairs, just in the middle of class. After passing a group of screaming students, they saw the utility room at the end of the corridor on the first floor.

There is only one security guard here, sitting not far away doing nothing. Lu Yingjiu took out a rune, flicked it lightly, and the rune burned, giving off a dark fragrance. The security guard smelled the smell, his upper and lower eyelids immediately fought, and his head dropped.

The door of the utility room is still locked. If it is directly blasted with runes, the movement will be too great.

The security guard had a bunch of keys, and he didn't know which one they were. Just as Ye Feng was worried about how to try it, he saw Lu Yingjiu took out a paper clip, straightened it, and stabbed it in the keyhole: "Don't look for it, it's just this old man. The lock, I will pick it quickly."

Ye Feng was shocked: "What skills do you know! This is another way to jump over a wall and pick a lock!"

Lu Yingjiu said calmly, "Everyone needs to know some life skills."

"It's a life skill of a hammer! Are you living in a beggar's gang!"

"It's very practical, who knows. Compared with this, you should go and see if there is any Zhong Aiguo in the visit record."

Ye Feng opened the roster on the security desk and saw Zhong Aiguo's name.

The note is "Ji Cai's family".

He said, "Zhong Aiguo has been to the utility room more than once. He came to find Ji Cai's things."

Lu Yingjiu's hand turned, and with a slight "click", the lock was unlocked.

He twisted the door handle, and the metal screeched sharply. What came over was the stale smell that had accumulated for many years, causing Ye Feng to cough violently.

Cardboard boxes were stacked on the shelves, with everyone's name on them, filled with personal belongings. The room was very dark, Lu Yingjiu flipped the switch a few times, but the light didn't respond, so he turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone and looked for them one by one.

The light shone across the front of the carton, and dust danced in the beam.

at night.

Xu Zhonghua.

...

Jiang Mengmeng.

Ji Cai.

"That's it." Lu Yingjiu said, tugging at the cardboard box.

very light.

It was so light that there was nothing there. He took it down and saw that there was only a dusty book inside.

"Beyond the Mountain"

Ji Cai wrote.

Ye Feng leaned over to look at it: "She also wrote books?"

"It looks like it is." Lu Yingjiu blew the dust, picked up the book, and briefly glanced at the introduction, telling the story of a volunteer teacher. While teaching and educating people, she also gained love.

But there is something wrong with this book.

Lu Yingjiu took another look and said, "It doesn't have a publication number."

The official publication of a book requires a publication number. He turned the pages before and after, but couldn't find the publisher or edition or book number at all.

This is an unpublished book.

Ye Feng checked it on the phone: "Indeed, there is no information about it on the Internet. Could it be that she printed it out to play?"

Lu Yingjiu turned the book to the last page, was silent for a while, and said, "It's not like it."

He showed Ye Feng the last page.

The last paragraph is:

[We stand together in the fields, and the mountains in the distance are like daisies. The weather is fine today, he smiled and said to me, yeah, this story will end until we]

[Until we] There are no words at the end.

Ye Feng was stunned: "Is this sentence unfinished?"

"Well." Lu Yingjiu said, "She died before she could finish writing it."

He weighed the book "The Other Side of the Mountain" in his hand and said, "This is not a normal relic, this is an unfinished book of the deceased, her obsession. You can't kill Ji Cai with a talisman, but as long as Destroy the book and she's gone."

Some ghosts have [obsessed things], which represent their deepest wishes.

If the ghost exorcist gets the obsession of ghosts, it is equivalent to winning the trump card. Next, no matter how fierce Ren Ji Cai is, he can't jump out of their palms.

Lu Yingjiu was wondering whether to burn the book.

Yin Qi fluctuated.

He looked back, and out of the utility room window, Ji Cai stared at him silently. The woman's body was still wet, and her eyes were all black, leaving two lines of blood and tears.

Tick, tick, blood splattered on the ground. She opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, but she couldn't say a word.

When Lu Yingjiu blinked again, she was gone.

Ye Feng didn't notice the anomaly and asked, "We burned it directly?"

Lu Yingjiu withdrew his gaze: "For now. I will continue to say that Zhong Aiguo will come back to this elementary school probably because of..."

He paused briefly for two seconds.

Something is wrong.

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through his mind: the obsession left by the ghost is very yin, and if the living person brings the obsession back, it will be utterly unlucky at best, and the family will be destroyed at worst. Fortunately, this is a school, which is full of vigor and vitality, so there are no consequences. But Zhong Aiguo came here so many times, it is impossible not to see this book.

Why didn't he take the book with him?

——Because he knew that bringing it back might be bad luck.

It seems that Zhong Aiguo is not completely ignorant of "exorcism". Ordinary people don't even know the existence of obsessions.

But it also means that he is likely to do more.

For example, using obsessions to attract ghosts.

In other words, make the ghosts more powerful.

My memory goes back to last night. At the Japanese food store, Little Li said: "I remember before, there were several cases of missing homeless people nearby, and it was on the news. Why are all the bad things there, this is much more Feng Shui.Bad."

A series of suicide cases by jumping off the building, the first one that appeared in Zhang Hong's case, was on January 7 this year.

This is what Ji Cai did.

She has been active since then.

Ye Feng heard Lu Yingjiu muttering to himself: "Ji Cai died in August, but she didn't start dying until January this year, during which someone strengthened her strength, the medium is this book, and Zhong Aiguo, who has come here many times, can do it. Arrived. And the best tribute to sacrifice to evil spirits is human... corpses, there must be corpses, the homeless is the best choice. We may be wrong, although Zhong Aiguo is the victim, he was Ji Cai There may even be a murderer on that side."

Lu Yingjiu immediately called Lao Liu: "Help me check, whether Zhong Aiguo has been to Lianhua Primary School from August last year to January this year. There is also a case of disappearance near Meihua Community. I suspect Zhong Aiguo and the disappearance case. Connected."

"I'll call someone to investigate right away!" Lao Liu replied, "Do you need any help over there!"

"...It's okay, Chu Banyang brought people here soon." Lu Yingjiu squeezed her phone tightly, "I may know where those homeless people are, I'll tell you later."

He hung up the phone and walked out quickly.

Ye Feng followed behind him.

Lu Yingjiu said, "Ye Feng, if you were Zhong Aiguo, and you were looking for an open space in the elementary school to draw spiritist runes and bury the body, where would you choose?"

Before Ye Feng could answer, Lu Yingjiu's eyes had already fallen into the distance.

On the green grass on the playground, a group of students are playing football and laughing constantly.

...

"Aqiang, pass the ball to me!!" Dalong shouted, his immature face was full of anxiety, and the blue school uniform was all wet with sweat.

Ah Qiang ran out of breath, a flying kick——

Someone tugged at his left foot, made him stagger a bit, kicked it crookedly, and the ball followed a crooked trajectory to the left and was snatched away by the opposite side.

Dalong scolded: "You, you, what's the matter with you! I won't go with you after school today!"

A Qiang defended: "Someone dragged me just now!"

"There's no one behind you!"

"Obviously! You are a fool!"

"Bounce!"

"The rebound is invalid! Big idiot, big idiot!"

The two scolded a few words, both full of anger, and then went to chase the ball.

Seeing that the opponent is ahead, the score is getting bigger and bigger. Ah Qiang finally got the ball again and ran to the goal.

His angles were so good, the little fat goalkeeper was even wandering.

As long as you kick, you can score!

Aqiang became more and more excited, shouted loudly, and rushed forward with the ball, and kicked the door——

The soccer ball flies out and draws nice lines in the air!

"Okay!" Dalong raised his hand and cheered!

boom!

The football flew upside down, flew a long way, and rolled on the ground.

A Qiang took a closer look, and saw a blue-gray hand sticking out from the ground, standing upright, and the football just hit it.

Dead silence all around.

"Grass..." Dalong murmured, "He handball, foul."
