Chapter 14: Just Possessed by a Ghost
"Don't look at it. Some things are better not to look at." I stood against the wall and advised helplessly.
"Shut up and stand still."
Unfortunately, the policeman guarding me didn't show any gratitude towards me.
The living room fell into silence. After a long while, the guard could no longer bear it and took out the intercom: "Captain Zhou, Captain Zhou, are you alright? Do you need help?"
There was only a buzzing sound coming from the intercom. The five people who entered seemed to have disappeared without a trace.
"Tell me, what's going on in there?" The guard simply pulled out his gun and yelled at me.
"Can you believe what I say?" I asked helplessly facing the gun.
"You are interfering with the police's investigation. Just for this one charge, you will be imprisoned for half a month. Now all you have to do is cooperate and make the people inside lay down their weapons and surrender."
"Don't get excited, there's no one inside. If you're curious, you can go in and take a look yourself."
The guard hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, a strange laugh came from the intercom.
whee!
"Captain Zhou! Captain Zhou! Captain Zhou!"
The guard immediately shouted excitedly into the intercom.
"I'm fine, you can come in too!" the intercom responded. But the voice sounded eerie.
"I advise you not to go in." I looked at the young policeman seriously and advised him sincerely.
"Hmph!" The policeman snorted coldly.
"You go ahead."
I shook my head helplessly. The basement! That place is extremely cold and can be used as a refrigerator! However, I am also a little worried that the few people who came in earlier might be impulsive and give up!
With a creaking sound, I pushed the door of the basement open. A chill instantly hit me.
"What kind of place is this!" The young policeman couldn't help but shiver and complain.
"This is an extremely cold place, so it's naturally very cold. It's not a place suitable for you to come in."
"Sir, are you okay?"
Ningxiang's voice suddenly appeared. What came into view was Zhou Qi. At this moment, Zhou Qi, who originally had a sturdy body, was acting like a little woman. He was looking at me with concern.
"Zhou! Captain Zhou! What's wrong with you?" The policeman behind me opened his mouth wide and his jaw almost dropped to the ground.
Zhou Qi's eyes fell behind me, and his face immediately became gloomy: "Why don't you let him go?"
"Ah! It's Captain Zhou!"
The young policeman was stunned at first, and then he quickly carried out the order of Zhou Qi who was possessed by Ningxiang.
I loosened my wrist and asked hesitantly, "Ningxiang, where are the others? Are they okay?"
"Haha, it's okay, Huzi and Niuniu are accompanying them." Zhou Qi acted like a little girl and threw me a wink. She twisted her waist and led the way.
Uh ! This look really electrified me! Even the police behind me were terrified. I looked around suspiciously, and some Kante followed me.
The storage room was strange and unusual. Two policemen were lying on the ground with their eyes closed, apparently passed out. The remaining two were facing each other, stretching out their palms, playing games in very childish voices.
"You clap once, I clap once, and a little ghost can get on top of you. You clap twice, I clap twice, and the two little ghosts play a game!"
"What did you do to them!" No matter how dumb the policeman behind us was, he realized that something was wrong and pulled out his gun and pointed it at us.
The two kids stopped playing, stood up and looked at .
"Don't move, or I'll shoot!" He shouted, taking out the walkie-talkie and shouting desperately: "Call headquarters, call headquarters for support."
Unfortunately, in such a dark place, not only walkie-talkies, but even mobile phones have no signal.
Faced with the strange scene in the basement, the policeman could no longer control himself and rushed out.
"Hurry up and stop him!" I hurriedly shouted to Ningxiang. If this guy rushed out and called a wave of people, I would be in trouble! What's more, I don't know how to end the current situation.
Before I finished speaking, a white shadow rushed out and disappeared directly behind the fleeing policeman. The fast running footsteps suddenly stopped at this moment. She turned around slowly and gracefully, looking at me with a smile on her face.
Uh! "Ningxiang, you should come out, as long as he doesn't run away." Facing another version of Ningxiang, I couldn't help but feel a churning in my stomach. It's really not easy to accept this man acting like a woman.
"Ahem! What's going on? What did you do to my subordinates? I warn you, you are assaulting a police officer and you will be held criminally liable."
Zhou Qi, who was abandoned by Ningxiang, also woke up at this moment, looked at me and yelled angrily.
"Ni Ge, do you want to knock him out?" Ningxiang possessed the young policeman, walked over slowly and asked softly.
"Uh, no need. I'll just explain it to him." I interrupted Ningxiang's next move. It was already chaotic enough. Besides, I was new to Dongmen City and didn't know anyone there. If I had a falling out with the police, I guess I'd have the word fugitive engraved on the back of my head.
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. Besides, I have advised you not to come in, and now look at what has happened!"
I said with some regret, and the expression on my face was very sincere.
"Who are you? Who is the woman who just rushed in? What did you do to my men?"
Zhou Qi threw a series of questions at me. It was obvious that he was hit hard. But I also secretly admired him. Zhou Qi was in an absolute disadvantage at this time, but he didn't show any fear. His tone towards me didn't mean submission, but rather an interrogation tone.
"Well, how should I put it? You can understand that I am an unemployed vagrant. As for the woman you saw when you came in, she is not a human being. And except for the one who fainted, the rest of your men are just possessed by ghosts."
Ugh! Zhou Qi was so shocked by my words that he was speechless. Possessed by a ghost! As an atheist, this is shocking enough! There is more to come!
"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Zhou Qi's eyes suddenly became gloomy.
"Ah!" I sighed, "I know it's not easy for you to accept, that's why I didn't let you in. I can release the three possessed ones, but I want you to promise me to control their emotions. Things are bad enough now!"
"Okay, I promise you, but since you said you were possessed by a ghost, then let the ghost come out and let me see it!"
Unexpectedly, Zhou Qi readily agreed and even asked to see a ghost.
The world is a bit chaotic. Normal people probably don't want to see ghosts, except for those who seek excitement. Zhou Qi probably doesn't have enough excitement.
"As you wish." I nodded in agreement, and then said to Ningxiang: "Ningxiang, come out! The other two little ghosts, hurry up!"
Ningxiang smiled slightly and appeared in front of me in an instant, while the policeman who was possessed by him fell limply to the ground.
"Hmph, why should we listen to you!" Even the little ghosts objected in unison at this time.
My face suddenly turned ugly. Could it be that these two little devils wanted to use the policeman who was possessed as a substitute?
"The sky and the earth are boundless, the chaos opens the eyes of heaven, the punishment of the gods is like thunder, shining on the eight poles, the evil spirits are punished, hurry up and obey the command!"
Chanting the spell, he wielded his fingers like swords and was about to capture the two little ghosts.
Ningxiang suddenly stood in front of them and said, "Sir, please don't do that. Huzi and Niuniu are just playing around."
Then Ningxiang said to the two little ghosts anxiously: "Huzi Niuniu, be obedient! Come out quickly."
The two little ghosts finally left the bodies of the two policemen unwillingly, looked at me viciously, and stood on the left and right of Ningxiang.
Ugh! Zhou Qi was so shocked that he couldn't speak. After a while, he stammered to himself: "Ghost! Ghost! There are really ghosts in this world!"
"Well, Ningxiang, take them away for now."
I quickly sent Ningxiang away. Then I squatted down, stared at Zhou Qi who was half lying on the ground, and asked with concern: "Hey! Hey! Officer Zhou, are you okay?"
"Ah!" Zhou Qi screamed, and shuddered all over. He looked at me for a long time, then sighed.
"It seems there was a misunderstanding. Sorry, Master Ni. I was too reckless! I don't know what happened to my men!"
Faced with the facts, Zhou Qi finally believed it and apologized to me sincerely.
"Well, don't worry. They will wake up in a moment. You wait here for a moment. I'll get you some medicine and you'll be fine."
Leaving Zhou Qi with a horrified look on his face, I returned to the room, took out yellow paper, used cinnabar to condense spiritual power, and drew six soul-calming and soul-condensing talismans. I burned them to ashes and divided them into six parts.
Being possessed by a ghost is the most depleting of one's energy and spirit. A person has three souls and seven spirits: the living soul, which represents vitality, the wandering soul, which represents perception, and the dead soul, which represents the dead soul. After death, the living soul and the wandering soul dissipate, and only the dead soul exists in a special form. Being possessed by a ghost affects the living soul and the wandering soul the most. It becomes a necessary step to calm the soul and gather the spirit.
Returning to the basement, he mixed the ashes with water and gave them to Zhou Qi and his men to drink.
A few minutes later, Zhou Qi had recovered his energy, and his subordinates woke up one by one and looked around in confusion.
"Mr. Ni Ge, what did you give us?" Zhou Qi stretched his limbs and felt surprisingly energetic. He immediately asked curiously.
"Nothing, this is a secret recipe passed down from my ancestors. By the way, Officer Zhou, why did you come to see me suddenly?"
Zhou Qi smiled awkwardly. As a criminal investigator, it was understandable for him to do this to a suspicious person, but this time he slapped himself in the face. But Zhou Qi was not a petty person. If it was wrong, it was wrong. It did not affect Zhou Qi's mood.
"I'm sorry for what happened just now. I came here because a vicious case just happened in Dongmen Village. The deceased was 36 years old and from Donghua Village. He was suffocated to death by a rope-like object. According to the investigation, the deceased did not have any bad habits or enemies. Mr. Ni Ge, you just moved in, and the local villagers are very secretive about you. So! Haha!"
Zhou Qi used a laugh to cover up the embarrassment of what happened later. Naturally, I would not expose him. Besides, apart from the unpleasantness this encounter brought me before, I still admired Zhou Qi's daring character, his courage to love and hate.
