Chapter 23 Mirrors and Promenades

This was repeated for nearly a dozen rounds, and nothing happened.

The four people took turns coughing, and there was not one more person in the house.

There's no point in continuing like this.

Lu Yingjiu lit a piece of talisman paper, and the utility room was suddenly filled with warm light. He said, "Stop for a while." He looked at Chen Yanyan, "You can recall more details, and we will try to restore the scene as much as possible. The higher the degree of restoration, the greater the chance of finding a ghost."

Everyone came out from the corner, Jingxian leaned against the wall and stood behind Lu Yingjiu, while the other three sat on the ground.

Chen Yanyan twisted his hands.

She was quite uneasy because of the game just now, and said, "What more details do you need?"

"Let's start with the standing position." Lu Yingjiu said, "At the beginning of the game, where are the four of you standing?"

Chen Yanyan tried to recall and pointed to a corner: "I'm standing here."

She pointed to other corners respectively: "Fan Xin is there, my boyfriend Ke Yu is there, and in the farthest corner is Fan Xin's boyfriend Lu Fanghong."

"and then?"

Chen Yanyan said: "Then, after we played more than ten rounds, suddenly no one coughed. Fan Xin looked back and the light came on."

Lu Yingjiu pondered for a few seconds and said, "I have a question."

"What?" Chen Yanyan stared at him subconsciously.

Lu Yingjiu raised his eyes: "Is there any cheating among you?"

Chen Yanyan was stunned.

Lu Yingjiu also said: "This game cheating is actually very simple. For example, in the game just now, I started first, took Chen Yanyan, Chen Yanyan took a little li. Going forward, I met the corner I left, so I coughed my leisure. "

He continued: "But if, after filming Chen Yanyan, I secretly turn around and go back to where I used to be. Then, Jingxian will not meet no one in a corner, but will meet me directly."

"At this time, I walked forward, and I didn't cough when I met an unoccupied corner, but jumped directly to take a photo of Chen Yanyan. Then I would use the same method to go back to the previous corner, then no one would ever cough again. ."

Lu Yingjiu looked at Chen Yanyan again: "I've always been puzzled by the fact that even if this slaughterhouse is a little strange, in a big afternoon, a very simple supernatural game should not attract such powerful evil spirits."

Chen Yanyan hesitated: "I...I don't know...If someone really cheated, it's impossible, can all the lights turn on the moment Fan Xin turns around? The light switch is outside the house, don't leave the house No one can open it. If you open the door and go out, everyone will hear the door open."

"That's not necessarily true." Lu Yingjiu said, "There is another possibility: using a talisman paper."

It is not difficult for a ghost exorcist to turn on a few lights.

But among the four students, only Chen Yanyan had contact with the field of exorcism.

Chen Yanyan blinked: "Mr. Lu, are you doubting me?" She bit her lip, "Me and Fan Xin are the biggest victims of this game. My family and my best will die. My friend, how could I lie about such a thing..."

"I'm just analyzing the possibility." Lu Yingjiu smiled, "I didn't say it must be you, did I?"

Chen Yanyan stopped talking, and after a while, she sighed softly: "I continue to talk. After the lights came on, we panicked and quickly left the room and ran to the exit. We ran away and ran away."

"Go away?" Lu Yingjiu paused.

He had never heard this detail from anyone.

"Yes." Chen Yanyan said, "I was with Ke Yu, Fan Xin was with Lv Fanghong. In the end, Ke Yu and I went out first and stayed outside the slaughterhouse. After about 5 minutes, Lv Fanghong helped Fan. Xin came out. Fan Xin accidentally fell while escaping, but luckily Lu Fanghong was there."

"After that, we calmed down a little bit, and joked that it was a coincidence that we got separated. They all got separated one by one. I also told Fan Xin that Lu Fanghong is so kind to you, and if you can rely on it at the critical moment, just let it go. Get married." Her voice was getting smaller and smaller, "What details do you want?"

Lu Yingjiu asked a bunch of questions, such as what they did before entering the utility room, their clothes that day, whether there was anything strange when they escaped, etc., but nothing special.

In the end, he said: "Probably the most critical problem is still 'people'."

"People?" Little Li was puzzled, "Who?"

Lu Yingjiu said, "The four of us are so different from the four of us at the time, and even the genders don't match."

Little Li was stupid: "What about that? Is we going to find a foreign aid girl?"

"It's not necessarily successful." Lu Yingjiu said, "The most important thing is not who we are, but who the ghost thinks we are."

"Then the sticker to disguise it?"

He replied: "There is a better way." He looked at Chen Yanyan, "You were an art student before, can you draw the other three people on paper?"

2 hours later.

Negative layer mask processing room.

Little Li returned with a lot of things panting, saying, "Brother Lu, I mentioned things from the door, do you see if there is a lack?"

He put a plastic bag on the ground with bottles of developer inside.

It is used to develop old photos. This kind of thing is rarely sold now, but Lu Yingjiu called Chen Xiaoling, and within 2 hours, the developer was delivered.

Lu Yingjiu picked out a workbench, and from a pile of dusty equipment, took out a huge square iron box. The box was very shallow, so he simply cleaned it with a rune paper and filled it with developer.

He has three portraits at hand.

The paper is roughly cropped to the size of a human face.

It was drawn by Chen Yanyan, and painted the faces of Fan Xin, Ke Yu and Lu Fanghong. After all, she is an art student, and she draws a friend she is familiar with, which is lifelike.

Lu Yingjiu first picked up Fan Xin's portrait and carefully placed it in the developer.

When the liquid completely covered the paper, he also sank the prepared talisman paper into it.

Next, he did the same, immersed the other two paintings in the liquid, and turned on the phone to start timing.

Jing Xian watched intently from the side.

Lu Yingjiu glanced at him and explained to him, "I have learned about cloud weaving because of my interest. The process of printing the faces on the portraits on the leather is very similar to the process of developing photos. Developer. But I don't know how their runes are drawn, I can only find similar effects."

They just waited until the timer reached 5 minutes.

Lu Yingjiu took out the first piece of paper with tweezers.

The paper used to have black lines on a white background, but now it has become white lines on a black background—black and white reversed, like those developed negatives.

He shook the tweezers lightly, shook off the excess liquid on the top, lightly placed it on a piece of dry white paper, took an extremely thin water pen, and started from the forehead, slowly drawing complex lines.

Jing Xian helped out and spread the other two paintings on the white paper.

For the next half an hour, Lu Yingjiu patiently drew lines on all three faces.

By this time, the paper was almost dry. He picked up a few fake masks and said, "We've got to put it on our faces."

"How to do it?" Little Li asked.

Lu Yingjiu pointed to his forehead: "Glue it with transparent glue."

In the end, Lu Yingjiu's forehead was posted on Fan Xin's portrait, and his leisure was as Ke Yu, Little Li was dressed as Lu fanghong.

Little li asked, "Can you really lie to that ghost like this?" When he spoke, the breath spit out of his mouth was blowing paper.

The paper mask that Lu Yingjiu made temporarily, even if the color is not mentioned, it has nothing to do with "realism" at all. Even a deeply myopic eye can see that something is wrong with a distance of 100 meters.

"No problem." Lu Yingjiu said with a smile.

They returned to the utility room, and according to their identities, stood at the corresponding four corners of the room.

Lu Yingjiu extinguished the fire.

The game still started from him. He walked clockwise and patted Chen Yanyan on the shoulder. Then Chen Yanyan walked forward and patted Jingxian.

This round of cough is Little Li.

In the second round, Jing Xian was the one who coughed.

Third round...

This time, Lu Yingjiu was slapped twice on the shoulder, but no coughing sound was heard.

For the next two or three minutes, there was not a single cough.

There is one more person in the room.

This time, they finally succeeded.

Lu Yingjiu's right hand turned slightly, and in the darkness where he could not see his fingers, a talisman was tightly held in his hand.

But the next second, a strong sense of weightlessness came!

Everyone is empty under their feet, falling into the endless darkness. Lu Yingjiu reacted very quickly, adjusted her figure in mid-air, and was about to land in a perfect posture with one hand on the ground, when suddenly the whole person plunged into some kind of softness that did not belong to the ground.

Lu Yingjiu: "..."

He whispered in Jingxian's arms, "Why do I feel like we've been hugging each other since we met."

Jing Xian smiled, his chest vibrated, and he let go of Lu Yingjiu's hand.

Lu Yingjiu took off the portrait of the face attached to his forehead, and at the same time pulled a piece of talisman paper and set it on fire.

When the light came up, he saw a corridor that was so deep that there was no end to it.

They should be somewhere in the slaughterhouse.

When Chen Yanyan and the others finished playing the game, they ran away anxiously and divided into two groups. The same is happening now:

They put on paper masks to restore the scene.

The summoned ghosts also tried to restore the scene and separated them into teams.

Lu Yingjiu had seen similar things many times, so he didn't find it strange.

but……

Lu Yingjiu said, "Jingxian, what Chen Yanyan said at the time, when they fled in a hurry, should be her with Ke Yu, and Fan Xin with Lu Fanghong."

"Yes." Jing Xian nodded, "They are each with their boyfriends."

Lu Yingjiu said: "But, I play FAN XIN, you are Ke Yu, Little Li is Lu Fanghong. According to the reason, now I should be with Little Li, you should stay with Chen Yanyan. Why this is this. The combination is wrong? "

He thought: "Since the ghosts of the year have all come, there shouldn't be such a deviation..."

Lu Yingjiu paused for a few seconds, lowered his head, and sent Chen Xiaoling a few messages.

After sending the message, he heard Jingxian say, "There is a mirror here."

Lu Yingjiu walked over. The mirror was gray, and there were several hideous cracks spreading like a spider web. Their faces were inside, broken and unfamiliar.

One tall and one short.

One male and one female.

Lu Yingjiu clearly looked like Chen Yanyan in the mirror. Jingxian was a young boy with an inch head and a scar on his forehead.

Before Lu Yingjiu asked Chen Xiaoling to check on Ke Yu and Lu Fanghong, in case they suffered the same bad luck as Chen Yanyan. Therefore, he had seen the photos of the two of them and recognized that it was indeed Ke Yu in the mirror.

He frowned.

If he is regarded as "Chen Yanyan" by a ghost, then who has Chen Yanyan become, Fan Xin?

Before Lu Yingjiu could sort out his thoughts, the two people in the mirror suddenly smiled.

The smile was cut to pieces by cracks.

"Whoa-"

The mirror shattered, and saw two pale hands suddenly sticking out from the inside of the glass!

At this moment, Lu Yingjiu could actually react.

He has already made a decision in his hand, and as long as he wants to, he can shake the ghost hand back. But he finally put down his hand and let the ghost hand pull him into the mirror.

Just before he was pulled in, he clearly saw that the ghost hand that was reaching out to Jing Xian shrank.

It was as if he didn't dare to catch it.

Then Jingxian remained calm, reached out his hand, grabbed the ghost hand that was about to escape, and forcibly squeezed into the mirror together.

Lu Yingjiu: "...?"

Ghost Hand: "...!"

It was pitch black in front of him, and when his vision was restored, Lu Yingjiu saw a man and a woman running in the dim corridor.

It was Chen Yanyan and Ke Yu from the past.

The two looked extremely frightened.

The scene in front of them is the scene of those people fleeing after the Four Corners game is over.

Chen Yanyan was wearing red lace-up sandals and ran fast. One shoe fell in the middle of the road, so he could only run with one bare foot. And Ke Yu held her hand tightly, panting, "Hurry up! The exit is just ahead!"

Chen Yanyan replied with a crying voice: "I can't run anymore!"

Ke Yu had a lot of strength and dragged her forward. The two figures disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Lu Yingjiu tried to reach out to them, but an invisible barrier blocked his movement.

He turned his head and looked at Jingxian.

The two of them seemed to be alone in a small space, watching images of the past.

Lu Yingjiu couldn't hold back and said, "Why do you want to squeeze in when you're okay?"

Jingxian looked innocent: "I don't have it." Then Lu Yingjiu poked him lightly.

The two were close, as if they were in the car, Lu Yingjiu smelled the cold fragrance.

This taste is so special.

Lu Yingjiu was silent for a while and said, "Jingxian, when this matter is resolved, I have something to tell you."

"Huh?" Jing Xian looked at him, his low voice scratched his ears, "What's the matter, can't I talk here?"

Lu Yingjiu smiled lightly: "It's not the time yet."

The vision in front of them turned again, and Chen and Ke stopped at a corner.

Chen Yanyan gasped for breath and supported his knees with both hands, while Ke Yu looked nervous and kept taking measurements.

Chen Yanyan said: "We must have gone wrong! We should have gone to the right at the last corner!"

"Where is this place then?" Ke Yu asked.

"I don't know." Chen Yanyan shook his head, "I clearly, clearly remember that there is no way here."

"Then what should I do?" Ke Yu hesitated, "Or I'll turn on the flashlight and take a look."

Chen Yanyan nodded.

This time, they brought all kinds of small equipment, such as amulets, talismans, flashlights, red and white candles, and compass.

They fled all the way, because they were worried that the light would expose themselves, they all ran in the dark, both of them hit hard, and they must have bruised when they returned.

Ke Yu carefully took out the flashlight and turned it on.

The light of the flashlight flickered a few times, and finally illuminated the corridor—

"Ah!" Chen Yanyan exclaimed, his hands and feet even colder.

I saw that wherever the beam passed, there were all human faces!

Not only those two people were so frightened, but Lu Yingjiu, who was watching, also frowned.

In front of them, masks were glued to the wall, neatly attached, row after row. As far as Lu Yingjiu could see, he saw at least thirty or forty masks. Not to mention that this corridor is so long, there may be hundreds of them.

There was a subtle fishy smell in the air.

The smell of rotten fish and rotten shrimp.

Where the fire was not in the light, several mutant big cockroaches that were enough to scream Little Li were swinging the tentacles and climbing around on the mask.

"This, this, what's going on?!" Ke Yu's flashlight almost came out of his hand, "Why are your masks hanging here!"

Chen Yanyan was also surprised.

Her nerves were tense, and she vaguely felt that these masks were not right, but she couldn't say it, she just said in a daze: "Where is the exit? Where is the exit!"

They tried to run back, but there was no end to the hallway, and the corner was nowhere to be found.

Both of them were sweating profusely, and finally stopped.

Ke Yu said: "The ghost hit the wall, we must have met the ghost hit the wall." The light of the flashlight flashed over the wall, illuminating the ghostly masks, "Can you see the problem with these masks..."

Chen Yanyan forced himself to concentrate.

She has no interest in the art of exorcising ghosts at all. Like weaving clouds, she only knows a thing or two.

But even so, she grew up in the Chen family and had seen many masks.

She looked around and recalled carefully that something was wrong in her heart just now.

Under the light of the beam, each mask is condensed with rich shadows. They are lifelike and delicate, and there is nothing wrong with them...

and many more!

exquisite!

Chen Yanyan opened his eyes slightly, walked quickly to a mask, and observed carefully by the light.
