Episode 4 Chapter 036 Shadow
Naturally, I couldn't see anything. It was obvious that Master Nan saw or felt something strange there. Then I saw Master Nan stretched out his hand, but soon I saw Master Nan suddenly retreating in fear. This change happened in just a moment. Master Nan quickly retreated to our side, away from the door. Then he stretched out his right arm, and I saw something like a burn on his right arm, which was actually a palm print.
Master Nan seemed to be enduring the pain, and then he told us that this was not something that was originally in my house, but came in after we came back. When I came in, he saw a dark shadow behind me.
Another one was brought back? How many of these do we have at home now?
Then Master Nan asked me where I had been and what I had encountered, so that he could determine the general origin of this thing. Now he was basically certain that this thing was extremely very different from the ones I had in my house before. The main thing was that it hurt people! Master Nan said that if it was not sent away or driven away as soon as possible, the people living in the house would soon be in danger, or even lose their lives.
Hearing the seriousness of Master Nan's words, Shi Hu and I dared not be negligent or careless, so we recounted in detail what happened in the wilderness. The more Master Nan listened, the gloomier his expression became. Finally, after thinking for a long time, he said that he would go to that place to take a look. For the time being, he could not come up with a definite answer, but there was one thing. He said that I woke up in a room full of paper people. Master Nan said that each paper man represented one of these things. This matter was not as simple as we thought. It was not the end of my safe return. Something bad would happen later.
I said there were so many paper figures in the room, if there was one on each of them, then that wouldn't be...
This scene was chilling enough to think about, and the source of the whole incident was that CD. But now the CD was gone, and Master Nan and Shi Hu couldn't look at it carefully, otherwise they would definitely notice something else unusual.
Later I remembered the phone call Shi Hu made to me before the accident. He seemed to know what was on the disc under my desk at that time. I asked him how he knew it. Shi Hu said it was entirely because of the disc found at Ma Yippin's residence. The scene on that disc was exactly the same as when I was putting something on the desk in my room and suddenly bent down to touch under the desk. Then I took out a CD from under the desk. I was surprised to say how this was exactly the same as my actual experience.
Shi Hu then asked me if I felt anything strange in the room when I bent over to touch the disc. I shook my head and said there was nothing else. Shi Hu looked at me, as if to confirm my statement, and then he said that he had given the disc to Shan Rankin to investigate, and if not, he should show it to me, not to scare me, but to let me know what kind of situation I was in at the time.
I found what Shi Hu said was so suspenseful, so I asked him what happened. Shi Hu said that when I bent down to take the CD under the desk, there was a person standing by the windowsill, but only half of the body was shown in the video, so I only knew that there was a person standing there, but I didn't know who it was. I was shocked and said it was impossible because I was the only one in the room at that time. But then I couldn't continue because I had already realized what Shi Hu was talking about. Shi Hu said that the figure was there from beginning to end, including when I took the CD to play it.
But there are still some differences between the video and reality. The CD at Ma Yippin's residence only contained the content that I got the CD from, and there was nothing after that. After watching it, Shi Hu felt that it was inappropriate, so he called me. But it was too late. At that time, I had already finished watching the content and was experiencing that horrific scene.
Later, I just remembered that I fainted. Now, when I talk about this, I touched my body and found that my phone was not with me, which meant that I left it at home. However, Shi Hu said that they had searched the house and found no trace of the phone, and they guessed that I had taken it away. The reason why Shi Hu had the idea of looking for the phone was because I was talking to him at the time, and then what happened later happened. Shi Hu said that there was suddenly no sound on the other end of the phone, and then there was the sound of the phone falling to the ground, but the call was not interrupted.
Shi Hu then took out his cell phone, turned it on, and played the call recording for me. I remember the previous conversation, and then there was a "bang" sound, followed by a very noisy sound, and there seemed to be footsteps, as if many people were walking, making a very crisp sound. This sound reminded me of the footsteps in the dark video, but I didn't say anything. I held my breath and listened carefully, and then I heard a faint cry, like a man's.
The crying continued for a while until the call ended, and the call ended suddenly, and I didn't know how the caller hung up. I asked what the crying male voice was about, and Shi Hu said that I had to ask Master Nan, because the reason Master Nan stayed at home was to find out why there were noisy footsteps and the man's voice later.
So Shi Hu looked at Master Nan, and Master Nan said that he found many things wrong with our house. My room had the most, with things like desk, windowsill, bedside and behind the door, sofa in the living room, behind the door, in the corners, bathroom and guest room. So Master Nan speculated that different things were occupying these places, and their activities were very regular and did not interfere with each other. It might also be a kind of tacit understanding.
I asked, "How can I know who they are?" Master Nan shook his head and said that he had said it last time, that it was basically difficult for him to see, and even I could see more, so I only knew that these things existed, but I didn't know who they were.
This is a difficult situation, and as of now, I have no idea why these things are in my house. But when I heard this, I remembered the sketch that was handed in through the crack in the door, so I got up and went to the room to get it. When I opened the drawer, the sketch was still there, so I took it out to show Shi Hu and Master Nan.
It was the first time they saw this thing, and they were all very surprised. When they first saw it, Master Nan said that the painting looked so strange. I asked why it was strange, and Master Nan said that there was a gloomy atmosphere blowing in, a smell of death. I didn't know what the smell of death was, and Master Nan said that to put it bluntly, the smell of death is the feeling that a dead person gives people, and this painting gives people that feeling.
My heart skipped a beat and I said no way, I didn't feel anything myself, I just thought it was just an ordinary sketch, although its origin was a little strange. And I also told Shi Hu about the loss in the elevator last time, but Shi Hu and Master Nan were both superstitious about 721, so they never went to see it.
Shi Hu fiddled with it for a while and said that he couldn't see anything special. Master Nan just saw that there was a smell of death, and he was confused about the rest. He just said that it would be better not to keep this painting. He always felt that this painting was not a good sign and meant that something bad was going to happen.
Since Master Nan said so, it is almost certain. But now I have to put the painting away. Master Nan said that thing is lurking there, so I definitely can't sleep tonight. After tonight, I will have plenty of time to prepare for exorcism tomorrow, but I definitely can't do that tonight.
So after that, Master Nan and Shi Hu stayed up late with me at home, but there were some rules for staying up late. It was not just sitting there. Master Nan lit a white candle behind the door. This was the first time I saw a white candle. I remember that even the candles used in funerals were red. I asked about this when I was a child, but I only remember that the adults replied that white candles could not be used . No one could explain why.
Now seeing Master Nan in use, I asked. Then Master Nan pointed behind the door and asked me if I could see anything. At this time, I was really surprised and couldn't close my mouth, because to be honest, this was the first time I really saw that thing without being frightened. Although it was just an unclear shadow, I could really feel its existence. Master Nan said that white candles have the function of illuminating, but they will not alarm this thing, while red candles will alarm it because it can see.
I only saw a dark shadow covering the door, indicating that the thing was indeed there. Before lighting the candle, Master Nan closed all the doors and windows, mainly to prevent the wind from blowing in. He said that if the candle went out, it could not be lit again, otherwise it would be discovered and something bad would happen.
So after the doors and windows were closed, Master Nan lit candles behind all the other doors. He said that we should stay in the living room tonight and not go to other rooms to avoid unnecessary trouble. In addition, Master Nan still found some rice to seal the doors and windows, and sprinkled it around the sofa. Then he took some flour and sprinkled it evenly on every door and window. He said that this way he could see if there was anything moving.
After that we sat down on the sofa. Since neither Shi Hu nor Master Nan were good at chatting, we each did our own things. Master Nan meditated on the sofa, I lay on the other end of the sofa, and Shi Hu sat on the sofa on the other side, thinking about something, very absorbed.
Around midnight, I suddenly felt the flame of the candle in the guest room move, so I I saw flour-covered footprints appearing one by one out of thin air, and they were already next to the water dispenser. I quickly stood up and motioned Shi Hu to go and have a look. At this time, Master Nan seemed to have noticed it as well, and they all looked over there.
