Chapter 028 A Peaceful Life(1/2)
Affected by obsessions, ghosts will maintain their behavioral habits in life.
This habit will make their behavior more predictable, and it is also the only hope for ordinary people to survive after encountering ghosts.
What I have to do is to take advantage of this opportunity and this habit to get to know Liu Jie, who I have worshiped for eight years.
One minute, two minutes, five minutes passed, and there was nothing abnormal in the monitoring room.
The landlord whispered: "Is everything okay?"
"Maybe it's already in."
"Coming in?"
The landlord's sudden increase in voice made Xiaojuan, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly wake up. She looked around blankly, and the first thing she said was: "Where is my child?"
The landlord wanted to come forward to comfort her, but found Xiaojuan on the sofa staring at her feet non-stop.
The landlord shrank: "Xiaojuan, what are you looking at?"
"one person."
The landlord jumped up from his seat.
I quickly squatted down.
Below, there is a small door for cats to enter and exit, and now the small door has been opened.
I glanced at Xiaojuan strangely. I didn't expect that she could actually see Liu Jie.
However, the next moment, Xiaojuan ran down from the sofa and went directly under it: "Where is my child? I want to find my child."
This time, I was immediately confused.
I hurriedly rubbed my eyes with my hands. In the slight pain, I realized that the person trying to climb in from the small door was not Liu Jie, but Chen Er.
At this time, his whole body was bruised and purple, his eyes had been gouged out, his nose was gone, his white teeth were exposed, and his mouth was missing. It was as desolate as it could be.
It was Chen Er who tried to come in, so where did Liu Jie go?
But now is not the time to think, so I pulled Xiaojuan out: "Aunt Landlady, hold her."
After handing Xiaojuan to the landlord, he directly poked Chen Er's empty eye sockets with his fingers stained with incense ash.
A cold and slippery feeling came, and Chen Er let out a scream and shrank out of the small door.
I didn't chase him out. I sprinkled incense ash on the small door.
The main opponent now is Liu Jie. As for Chen Er, I don't care about him who is not over the top seven.
Time passed little by little, and Chen Er was indeed a plumber. He came in from the vents and air-conditioning ducts everywhere, frightening the landlord to the point of paralysis, and at the same time making me completely angry.
You are no longer a human being when you are alive, and you are no longer a troublemaker when you are dead.
I lit a white candle on the monitoring table. When the fire first started, I pinched it out with two fingers. The newly lit green smoke was like a living snake entwining between my two fingers.
"go."
With a flick of his hand, green smoke nimbly emerged from the gap in the window, swam quickly in the hall, and then landed on the green plants in the corner.
The fire light protruded, faintly illuminating the outline of a human figure, and screams rang out the moment the fire light ignited.
Then the glass of the door was directly knocked open, and the figure with a flaming figure ran outside.
After chasing away the flies, I sat on the chair again and waited.
Unexpectedly, Liu Jie did not show up after one night.
This makes me a little confused. Liu Jie has gone out. Doesn't he intend to take revenge and continue to devour those children?
Thinking of this, I hurried back to the room. In the closet, the golden dots on Liu Jie's memorial tablet did not spread, but became much darker. Only the spot in the middle remained charred and black.
I let out a sigh of relief. It's good that Liu Jie didn't go looking for those children, otherwise I wouldn't know how to find him.
After getting off the bed, the landlord, who had been surprised all night, did not stop and took Xiaojuan directly to the hotel.
I plan to go have something to eat and then find another place to live. After all, after what happened last night, the landlord may be more determined to sell the apartment. Whether the new landlord wants me to live in it is also a question. I must make plans in advance.
Just as I walked out of the door, I subconsciously glanced at the broken glass and then stopped.
There were clear footprints beside some burnt green plants, which were left when Chen Er was burned by fire last night.
Those are not the footprints of cloth shoes.
Liu Jie came last night.
Maybe he has entered the control room.
I hurried back to the monitoring room and pulled up the monitoring from last night.
After the door of the monitoring room was opened, I started to look around bit by bit.
When I saw that I asked the landlord to hug Xiaojuan, I suddenly took a breath of cold air.
At that moment, the landlord's face lost any fear, and she looked at Xiaojuan with a very strange look in her eyes. She hugged Xiaojuan into her arms, slowly stroked Xiaojuan's back with one hand, and opened and closed her mouth.
It seemed like I had read it a dozen times before I realized what she was saying was: a pity.
What a pity, why is it a pity?
Take out your phone and call the landlord.
The landlord's phone, which is open 24 hours a day, can't be reached.
I waited anxiously, but the landlord never came back.
It wasn't until the afternoon that I heard someone mention that this morning a woman directly broke through the tempered glass of the Kaibin Hotel and jumped from the 36th floor.
The landlord was the one who jumped down. As for Xiaojuan, there was no news again.
I felt heavy in my heart after getting the answer I had been waiting for.
The golden dots on the tablet in the wardrobe have completely disappeared, and only inconspicuous black dots remain in the scorched black spot.
Liu Jie vented his resentment, and the price was an innocent life.
Ghosts sometimes don't make sense.
After the landlord died, his family took over the apartment.
They planned to convert the apartment into a hotel, and I found a private house to rent in advance.
Without saying goodbye to anyone, I moved into a private house a month before I left school.
I found this place on the haunted house sales website. The house is very nice and quiet.
I rented it for a whole year at almost no cost.
In the following time, I stayed at home and did not communicate with my neighbors. I kept reading the books left by my grandfather.
The incident between the landlord and Xiaojuan made me feel my own shortcomings, and this shortcoming cost innocent people their lives last time, and it might cost me my own life next time.
A month later, I went to school amidst a bombardment of phone calls from my parents.
After staying in Xinhai for two months, I became familiar with the school I was going to study in. I quickly registered and applied to live abroad.
Next, life is the same as before, except that I have to go to school every day.
Whether in the eyes of my classmates or neighbors, I am a weirdo.
But I enjoy it.
Three months later, I finished reading the last book left by my grandfather.
Although I only read it briefly, if I encounter the same problem as before, I will never waste Blind Liu's three precious opportunities.
And three months is just enough for people to forget about Chen Er.
I want him to be thin in earth and thin in coffin, and never be reincarnated.
I learned about the place where Chen Er was buried from an old tenant, so I went to the cemetery on a rainy day.
Chen Er had no family and no funeral. His body was cremated and buried directly in the most remote corner of the cemetery.
This just makes my movement easier.
The cemetery is not sealed with earth, but is directly covered with stone slabs, and the ashes are placed in a unified well below.
I confirmed Chen Er's tomb, took off the cover, dug out soil from the flower bed on one side and filled it in the well. Then I opened the urn and sprinkled a small amount of ashes on the soil that was almost level with the ground.
, once covered with stone slabs, nothing strange can be seen from the outside.
But such a thin coffin with thin soil cannot be regarded as a final resting place for the deceased.
Not only will they not be nourished by the earth's energy, they will also be blasted by the sun, and their souls will seem to be burned by fire forever.
After everything was done, I clapped my hands and left.
My thoughts have become clearer.
Studying continues and life continues as usual.
Even though I don’t interact with people very much, as time goes by, everyone, whether they are neighbors or classmates, gradually becomes familiar with me.
Occasionally we go out to have a meal or have fun.
To be continued...
