Episode 6 Chapter 051 Complex
The old lady didn't seem to be very worried about the mark. I could see that she was a little bit indifferent. This made me a little puzzled. The old lady said that this was a warning, asking her not to interfere in this matter. When I heard the old lady say this, I was a little nervous, so I asked her what she would decide. The old lady sneered, and I thought her smile was a little scary. Then she said that if this little threat could scare her, she really lived for decades in vain.
After she finished speaking, the old lady put down her sleeves to cover the mark. She said that she could handle it on her side, but it was mainly me, because if this thing was really enraged, neither she nor I could escape, so she had to consider me. But when she said this, she suddenly seemed to have thought of something and paused. I felt like there was more to the sentence, but she didn't continue.
I listened to half of it and was eagerly waiting for the second half, but the old lady stopped talking. I was so anxious that I asked her what happened next. The old lady looked at me and said that she thought those things wouldn't do anything to me. If they really wanted to do something to me, they wouldn't have dragged it out for so long.
The old lady didn't say anything more. I guess she was a little unsure and just guessed. But at this point, she said that the matter of the two dummies was finally resolved. I said, is it resolved like this? The old lady nodded and said yes, but she said that only the matter of the dummies was resolved, not that the matter of my family was completely resolved. After saying that, she looked at the bowls on the ground and said that maybe she didn't understand what the situation was. The two dummies and our group were not in the same group.
The old lady said that she had thought earlier that these things must be one and the same, and there was some reason or something that lured these things in one by one. But from what happened last night, it seemed that something was helping me, otherwise how could I succeed so easily. The old lady said there were only two possibilities. One was that something was helping me, but this possibility was not great. The other was that the prey was hers, so how could she tolerate others snatching it away? So the old lady said she was more inclined to the latter, that is to say, there was a big conspiracy behind these things being entrenched here, but the time was not yet ripe.
The old lady said that this was all she could see and dared to say at the moment. Besides, we have more important things to do right now, which is to help Master Nan summon his soul. Speaking of helping Master Nan summon his soul, I told the old lady what happened in the early hours of yesterday morning. I said that maybe what I saw in the grove was Master Nan's lost soul. Since my experience that was like a dream was real, it means that what I saw Master Nan might also be real.
After listening to her, the old lady looked at her daughter-in-law, then looked at me and said what was Master Nan's soul doing there. She was even more surprised when she heard that the two dummies had also been hanging there. But although she was surprised, the old lady didn't say anything useful. She told me that it was not easy for her to go to Master Nan, but I could go in and out of the police station, so she asked me to help her go and see him. Moreover, this matter was caused by me, so I might be able to see something unusual.
I always felt that the old lady was avoiding Master Nan, as if she didn't want to see him at this time. Otherwise, they were relatives, and the police wouldn't have stopped them from seeing each other. I was confused, but I thought about it and asked her what I thought. The old lady smiled and said, "I am indeed different. If ordinary people asked me to go and see him, I would think I was just going to see him, and I wouldn't ask this question."
Then the old lady gave me a small paper man cut out of three pieces of yellow, white and red paper and pasted together. I saw something like a strange rune written on the small paper man. She told me to put it on Master Nan when no one was paying attention. I asked what it was. The old lady said it was something that could make Master Nan safer and prevent the things that were bothering him from getting close to him.
I said that the things that were bothering Master Nan had just been burned by us, and the old lady said that I would know when I went there. She thought so at first, because she thought that the two dummies were in cahoots with the things in my house, but now it seems that they are not , which means that there is still something on Master Nan. The old lady said that if she guessed correctly, this thing should be on Master Nan's back, and the paper man she gave me was to replace Master Nan.
I felt a little creepy after hearing that, and remembered the feeling of the paper man lying on me last night. The old lady said that the dummy might have just followed Master Nan and didn't get close to him. The reason for not getting close might be that it was afraid of Master Nan, or it might be because he already had something more powerful on him. In addition, there was a warning mark on Master Nan's wrist, so the thing that was pestering Master Nan should be there.
As she spoke, the old lady pointed behind the door. I could only see a bowl and incense there, and nothing else. But I looked at there intently. It was the thing that I carried back from the seventh floor. And when I thought of the paper man that I burned, I remembered the room where I woke up, the room full of paper men. There were times when I had a feeling that those who were there were not paper men, but people. Every time I thought of this, I was too scared to think about it anymore. I didn't know why, but the fear came so violently that it seemed like it would swallow me up soon.
Since the dummy had been removed, the old lady removed the table, and her daughter-in-law collected the upside-down bowls one by one. The old lady's words were somewhat similar to what Master Nan had said before. She said that as long as I stayed in the house like before, I would at most encounter some supernatural events, but they would not harm me. However, despite this, she told me to pay attention to myself. When some inexplicable marks appeared on my body, I should be careful, because it meant that those things were beginning to approach my body.
After putting the things away, the old lady said that she would come to see me when she was free, because Master Nan would need my help in the future. I said it was nothing, Master Nan had brought trouble upon himself because of helping me, so it was all right. The old lady left with her daughter-in-law. Before leaving, she told me to put two cups of full water on the coffee table and leave them alone. She also told me that I had better not look in the mirror recently, and that I had better cover the mirror in the bathroom with something. She said that if I did as she said, I would find something.
I think the old lady knew something but was not willing to say it directly, so she used this method to guide me. Not long after the old lady left, I received a call from Shi Hu, who asked me if I had finished my work here, and if I had nothing else to do, to come to the police station, as they needed my help. I asked what it was, and Shi Hu said it was Master Nan, and they found that Master Nan was a little different from yesterday, so they asked me to come over to help, so that they could make a quick decision.
If Shi Hu hadn't told me, I would have forgotten that I was their temporary psychic consultant. But after the old lady came, I had decided to agree to Shi Hu's job. The fear I had earlier had dissipated a lot. Now I am no longer as scared and terrified as before when I experience these things again. Now I want to know the truth and why these things happened to me. It is said that human curiosity is fatal. I think my current situation is that curiosity has occupied most of the decision.
I took a taxi to the police station, and when we got there Shi Hu took me directly to the detention room. Master Nan was still sitting there motionless. Shi Hu said that Master Nan had not slept at night and had been sitting like this. I said that this was no different from when he came in, wasn't it always like this?
But Shi Hu asked me to take a look at this, so he led me to an empty office, I don't know if it was his temporary office, then he woke up the computer and entered the password, and pulled out a video for me to see, and he said, "Let me take a look at this." This was not monitored by the master, but after editing, the most important part was cut out, but it was not processed.
The time displayed above was a little after three in the morning. Master Nan was originally sitting on the edge of the bed, but suddenly he stood up and walked to the wall facing it. Because of the surveillance angle, I could just see Master Nan's profile from here. I saw Master Nan's shadow reflected on the wall, and his mouth was moving, as if he was talking to his shadow.
This phenomenon was indeed strange enough, so I confirmed with Shi Hu in a questioning tone that Master Nan was talking to his shadow, but Shi Hu told me to look carefully. Although the light was located in the corridor, it was on the right side of Master Nan. From that angle, Master Nan's shadow should be a little to the left. Although it would be projected on the wall, it was completely different from what I saw, because the shadow on the wall was facing Master Nan directly. That situation would only occur if the light was directly behind Master Nan.
Shi Hu said that in order to confirm, he went in personally to try it, and it was indeed the same as he inferred. I asked if it was not a shadow, then what could it be? Shi Hu gave me an expression that said I knew it, and I instantly understood that, as the old lady said, there was something following Master Nan.
Shi Hu said that I can see things that they can't see. I once saw a black mass on Master Nan's body, so he asked me to come and see if there was anything on Master Nan's body. When I went to see it just now, I just took a quick look and didn't see anything, so I said I would give it a try.
I was not sure about what Shi Hu said, because I felt that it was an accident, and I only saw it that time. Shi Hu and I came to the detention room again, but I didn't see anything on Master Nan. Just when I was about to say that I was missing , I suddenly saw a shadow under my feet. I saw that my shadow had two heads, and the posture was like I was carrying someone on my back.
I looked at Shi Hu and said to him in a shocked and flustered voice: "That thing is not on Master Nan, but on me!"
