I asked Situ, what should I do now? How should Hu Zongren and I start? Situ thought for a while and said, from the current situation, it seems that we have just found one of the clues to all this. We still don't know more details. I think the crow you mentioned earlier is probably from the White Lotus Sect. The White Lotus Sect has its own unique methods for collecting animal spirits or adding undead spirits to an animal. If I were you and Hu Zongren, I would inquire more in the local area. Since you said that few outsiders go to that place, then if some suspicious people have appeared, the local residents should be aware of it. "That's right. Most of the local people know each other well. Otherwise, when Hu Zongren and I knocked on the door of Sister Liang's house, the neighbor opposite would not have looked at us with that strange look. Situ said to me, now that we know it is related to the White Lotus Sect, then we have another way to start searching. How about this, you two first ask around to see if you can find any new valuable clues. I Let us immediately notify our friends on the road to learn about some of the activities of the White Lotus Sect members in Chongqing over the past few years, especially in recent years. Let's keep in touch at any time. After Situ said this, he hung up the phone. Hu Zongren had always been worried that if too many people were involved in his affairs, it would be bad for everyone. Especially someone like Situ who is both a master and an old man. Now that I'm old, I can't drag myself around the world like before. But since Situ said this, he will definitely intervene in this matter. With such a very powerful helper joining the team, although there are still many crises, I feel relieved a lot. So I conveyed the conversation between me and Situ to Hu Zongren as carefully as possible. After learning that we were involved with the White Lotus Sect this time, Hu Zongren looked very surprised, and when he heard that the two of us might have been being used by the Xuanyuan Society to achieve some purpose, Hu Zongren also Showing his usual anger. He said cruel words again, these shameless old people, or else they will torture me to death. As long as I, Hu Zongren, am not dead, they will be surprised if I don't torture them to death! So Hu Zongren and I planned to follow Situ's method and first find someone to inquire in this small corner of the city. Since Sister Liang's home was originally located at the corner of this old wall, if anything suspicious had appeared in this area If you are a person, you must be much more noticeable than Hu Zongren and I. When we were about to leave, Sister Liang came back from dinner. She asked us where we were going, so Hu Zongren told her that we needed to go elsewhere to understand the situation, but after hearing this, Sister Liang looked very embarrassed. expression, so I asked her, do you have anything else? Sister Liang said, the time is coming soon, and my father will wake up soon and want to eat. He hasn't started cooking yet, and didn't you say that you were the one who helped to feed him before the matter was completely finished? So Hu Zongren and I looked at each other and began to regret our previous promise. Hu Zongren said to me, let's do it. I'll just go find a restaurant over there and buy some ready-made food. After saying that, Hu Zongren went to buy some fried rice, then handed it to me and said, I have never been able to do this kind of thing of serving people, so I will leave this glorious and great task to you. I glared at Hu Zongren and thought to myself, what a glorious fart, what a great bird, you are just afraid of getting punched when you go in later. But I can't refuse. In front of customers, it would look unprofessional if the two of us shirk each other. If word gets out, how can we survive in this industry in the future? So I had no choice but to take the meal from Hu Zongren and turned around and walked into Uncle Liang's house. However, I deliberately did not close the door. Instead, I put the meal down on the table and folded it in the entrance hall. I used the red rope formation. Although I know that this formation probably can't stop the ghost, I think it can still slow down its speed. Then I drew a sign on the inside of the door to ensure that if there is a special situation and I have to escape, after I cross the red rope formation, when I close the door, the sign will be facing the direction of my escape. . Then I said to Hu Zongren, do you want to come in and stay with me? In fact, I was also a little scared. Hu Zongren shook his head and said I won't come in, I'll just wait for you outside. I had no choice but to go alone. When I was about to open the door on the inside, I said to Hu Zongren, I don¡¯t close these doors. If I encounter any situation later, you have to remember. Come in and help me. Hu Zongren nodded, so I opened the door. I was holding the food in my hand, but as soon as I opened the door, I was so frightened that I almost dropped the food on the floor. Hu Zongren and I fled in a hurry. Before escaping, we had no time to close the originally open door, curtains, and bedside lamp. But when I entered the room at this moment, I found that not only were all these things closed, but Uncle Liang's posture on the bed was also the same as when he was at the beginning.?The hand that had been stretched out from the quilt because of the fight was now firmly placed inside the quilt, and the quilt was still neatly pulled up, as if everything had never happened. With the faint light coming from the door, I couldn't see Uncle Liang's expression clearly, but now that the matter was at this point, everything became inevitable, and I still had to go in and wait for him to wake up. Obviously, after Hu Zongren and I escaped just now, I don't know if it was the ghost or Uncle Liang himself, but he got out of bed, turned off the lights and closed the door, and then lay back down in a polite manner. In this case, this shows that the change in the environment is very difficult for Uncle Liang and even the ghost to adapt to. I walked quietly to the bed and put the food down on the floor. Then I reached out and turned on the desk lamp. I knew that Uncle Liang was afraid of light, so I turned on the light so that I could see clearly. Uncle Liang lay quietly, but this time it was different from before. He did not open his mouth wide, but closed it tightly, but the corners of his mouth drooped. It looked like he had deliberately closed his mouth tightly, and he felt a little unhappy. . Although there is only one room separated, it is much quieter here than outside. It is precisely because of this quietness that I feel uncomfortable all over. I could even hear my own heartbeat speeding up due to nervousness. In addition, I could hear Uncle Liang's breathing that came and went. While Uncle Liang is still awake, I don't have the trouble to provoke him, so I plan to take this opportunity to check the house. Considering that time is a little tight, I can't check the whole house in detail. It is a fact that there is a ghost here. , I just need to find the source of this ghost's appearance, if it is in this house. Recalling what Sister Liang said before, she saw her father clinging to the mirror of the closet that night, and we also saw the ghost hand sticking out from the quilt. If Uncle Liang had personally closed the doors, windows and lamps, there would undoubtedly be traces of movement left in these places. So looking at the whole room, there are still three places that I am most suspicious of. One is at the foot of the bed, near the memorial tablet of Sister Liang¡¯s mother. After all, that is the place in this room that can be most directly contacted. place of death. The other one is the wardrobe with a full-length mirror next to me, and the bed where Uncle Liang is sleeping at the moment. So I took out the compass and planned to check it from the mirror first. The results of the inspection were soon clearly reflected on the compass. The entire mirror was full of agility, and it was relatively strong. This level of intensity was by no means Maybe he stayed once or twice. In other words, the scene that Sister Liang saw that night was actually just seen by her by chance. Before that, it was very likely that Uncle Liang had to put a sticker on the mirror every night since it first became like this. It's been a while. As for why, I actually don¡¯t know yet. But when I waved the compass next to the wardrobe, I saw a slightly stronger reaction near the gap between the mirror and the wood, so I looked closer to see what was inside the gap, but there was nothing. I couldn't see it, so I took out another nail. The nail is the one I usually use to tie rope-head nails, but this one hasn't been tied yet. I put the nail head into the gap and scraped it a few times, but the nail didn't work. It penetrated through, and it seemed to be empty inside, so I exerted a little force, and the door of the cabinet with the full-length mirror opened. Only then did I realize that behind the mirror, there was actually a cabinet that could be opened. When I slowly opened the cabinet door to its maximum position, I looked at Uncle Liang lying on the bed again, fearing that he would suddenly attack me again. Fortunately, he was still lying there quietly, and his posture did not change. . So I turned on the light on my phone, blocked Uncle Liang's view with the open cabinet door, and started searching in the cabinet. The wardrobe is just like an ordinary wardrobe, except for some clean clothes, there are still some sundries left. But there didn't seem to be many clothes that Uncle Liang could change. In the corner of the closet near the lower right corner, I found a piggy bank made of ceramics that looked like a little doll. I held it in my hand and weighed it. There should be a lot of coins in it, but they were coins after all, and they definitely didn¡¯t have much money. Maybe they were steel coins that others found when I was shopping for groceries or things. I felt that I should bring them with me. It was troublesome to jingle on my body, and it was of little use, but it was money after all, so I kept it. I put the compass on the piggy bank and made some gestures. Something¡¯s wrong, this piggy bank is surprisingly flexible!
