First Chapter 32: Ghost Touching Feet
After entering the house, I found that the decoration was quite modern. Everything looked angular. Although it was beautiful, its practicality was reduced a lot. The furniture looked very new, which showed that the family paid great attention to the cleanliness of the house. Qin Yiheng and I walked around the house. The orientation and layout of the house with three bedrooms and one living room were very good. Qin Yiheng couldn't help scratching his head while walking around, saying that the house looked very clean and didn't seem to be haunted by filth. I asked him to take a closer look, and then I took the male owner to the living room to smoke and chat for a while. After a while, Qin Yiheng came back and gestured to me to go into the bedroom.
This bedroom is where the girl died. The room is arranged a bit casually, but it looks quite comfortable. There is a low double bed in the room, but it has not been occupied for a while, and there is dust everywhere. Qin Yiheng took a look and saw that the male owner was still smoking outside, so he lowered his voice and told me that there is no problem with this house now, but you know, some things must be checked at night.
I understood what Qin Yiheng said before he finished. He meant that we should come back to take a look at it in the evening. I agreed immediately. When I got out of the door, I had a brief conversation with the male host. I said that my friend knew a little about Feng Shui, but some things could only be seen accurately at night. He hoped that we could stay here for the night. The male host did not object. After all, all the electrical appliances in the house had been moved out, and he did not plan to take the remaining furniture, so he was not afraid of being stolen. So we went downstairs to a small restaurant for a simple meal, and then found a cafe to wait for dark. I was bored in the cafe. Qin Yiheng did not seem to have any desire to chat, so I could only flip through magazines to pass the time. When I drank the third cup of coffee, it was finally dark. Qin Yiheng suddenly told me not to be alone with Yuan Zhen in the future. Although I could not see what Yuan Zhen’s purpose was, this person was still wrong after all.
His words were somewhat nonsensical, and I thought to myself: 'Didn't you tell me that Yuan Zhen had something on him? Why are you talking about one thing endlessly? When did you become so fussy?' But seeing his serious expression, I didn't know what to say, so I could only nod. When Qin Yiheng saw me nod, he blinked thoughtfully and continued to drink coffee in silence. I could only continue to flip through the magazine. When the time was almost up , the two of us went straight to the house.
Maybe it's a psychological effect, this house is indeed a bit gloomy at night. Qin Yiheng patrolled the house as usual, still with a puzzled look on his face, saying that he still didn't find anything in the house. Could it be that some dirty things were hidden or hidden by someone, and we can't find it?
I saw that there was still no discovery. Although I was still unsure, I was not so scared anymore. I lit a cigarette and asked him, what should we do now? Qin Yiheng pondered for a long time, and finally turned his head and told me, how about this, you go sleep on the bed that the girl slept on, and I will watch from the side to see if there is anything strange about the bed. Only when someone lies on it can we find the problem.
This request was a bit unreasonable, but I couldn't say no. After all, the money earned in the end was not his alone, and I had to help him. I hesitated again and again, and thought to myself: "With Qin Yiheng protecting me, there shouldn't be any problem, so I bravely lay down on the bed."
As soon as I got into bed, Qin Yiheng turned off all the lights. In the darkness, I could only see a small light from his cigarette. I was already feeling a little shaky lying on a bed where someone had died, and now that the lights were turned off, my heartbeat instantly sped up, and I felt cold all over. I wanted to find a quilt to cover myself, but there was none on the bed, so I had to curl up. Although I was lying down, I felt much more tired than standing, and I didn't dare to stretch my limbs. After a while, my body felt numb.
Qin Yiheng finished smoking and told me that his staying in this room might affect the yin and yang energy in the room, so he had to stay in the living room. He told me to call him immediately if I had any problems, and then he turned and left before I could object.
I barely moved my neck and looked at the clock. It was almost 11pm. After Qin Yiheng left, the room seemed to get a little colder. I knew it was because I was scared, but no matter how I comforted myself, I couldn't stop feeling cold.
About 30 minutes passed, and nothing strange happened. Although I couldn't see Qin Yiheng from where I was lying, I could still feel his presence from the occasional subtle noises in the living room. Slowly, I relaxed a little and was not so nervous anymore.
But just after I relaxed for a while, I felt something touching my ankle. The touch was very light, but because I knew in advance that some little devil might touch my feet, I focused a lot of my attention on my lower limbs, so I felt it immediately.
But it was only for a moment, and I thought to myself: 'Is it a psychological effect? This kind of light touch, sometimes some subtle air flow can also make people feel similar. Thinking of this, I concentrated my mind, but still did not feel the touch again, I felt a little strange, was it really my feeling wrong? But after thinking about it again, I found a problem, could it be because I was still wearing shoes, so I didn't feel it? This is possible, because after all, the touch will definitely be greatly affected by the shoes. '
I was thinking about it, and I couldn't help but be distracted. When I focused again, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart. I don't know when, a hand gently grasped my ankle. The hand was very cold, and I felt my scalp numb, but I didn't dare to move. I wanted to call Qin Yiheng, but I was so scared that my brain went blank and I froze. This kind of terror was too frightening. I gritted my teeth and tried for a long time, and finally shouted, Qin Yiheng! Damn it, save me!
After I shouted this, I started kicking my feet recklessly, trying to sit up from the bed. Who knew that hand also exerted force at the same time, grabbed my ankle, and pulled me down. I didn't expect the other party to have such great strength, and I was not prepared for a moment, and I was dragged down. I instinctively tried to grab something at hand, but I couldn't grab anything except the bed sheet.
Qin Yiheng probably heard my shouting and ran over from the living room. Before he could get close to me, he was also startled and quickly shouted at me, "This is not a little ghost! Don't let it drag you down, or else, damn it, no one can save you!"
I was still resisting stubbornly, but after hearing him shout like that, my hands instantly went limp, and I even had trouble grabbing the sheets. This time, my calves had been pulled out of the bed. Fortunately, Qin Yiheng was only stunned for a moment, and soon came to help. I saw him hurriedly take out a small stone from his pocket and quickly stuffed it into my hand, and then he took off his shirt and covered the floor like a pocket. Strangely enough, from the moment I grabbed the stone, the force instantly weakened. When he covered the floor with his clothes, the hand on my ankle completely disappeared. Qin Yiheng was sweating profusely after just a few simple movements, and he didn't dare to delay any longer. He asked me to stand up immediately and dragged me to the living room before stopping to wipe the sweat from his forehead.
I was still in shock and asked him what that was. Qin Yiheng first reminded me not to drop the soul-falling stone in my hand, and then told me that this thing was very strange. It was actually half a body. The range that its hands could reach was very small, only reaching the end of the bed. As long as we left the range it could reach, there would be no danger. Although I don’t understand how this thing appeared here, at least I can infer how the girl died before. If I guessed correctly, the girl must have been dragged out of her body by this thing one night. I guess this thing must have been in great pain because it couldn’t move, and it wanted to find a substitute to come back to life early. But after the girl’s soul left her body, it might have been because the distance was not enough or it failed to get on the girl’s body.
After finishing speaking, Qin Yiheng clicked his tongue again, still a little puzzled, and continued: "There is just one thing that is puzzling. According to common sense, after a spirit leaves the body, it should mostly be complete. Although it is not ruled out that the soul will be dispersed in the process of leaving, at least after the dispersion, it is only the spirit that becomes weaker, which does not mean that it will be incomplete. On the contrary, many wronged souls who were dismembered before death will remain incomplete before death, but at least they can still move, and this one in the bedroom is obviously bound to the floor by something."
Although I was still terrified, I gradually calmed down after hearing that I would be safe as long as I left its reach. Then I began to wonder, according to Qin Yiheng, this thing grew in the house? I heard that, for example, when many new houses were being built, workers would pour cement into the walls of the people they had killed. Wouldn't that make the dead souls unable to move freely? Could it be that this thing was poured under the floor when the house was being built?
I told Qin Yiheng my guess, but he replied that it was possible, but the reason why the spirit could not move could not be simply defined by one condition. It depended on the time, place, the degree of harmony between yin and yang, and even the birth date and clothing of the deceased and the murderer. Now it seems that the most likely reason is that a building outside the house is arranged according to Feng Shui, which happened to press the evil spirit into this house, so that this thing could not escape. After saying that, Qin Yiheng recalled that it seemed that the surrounding buildings did not look like the evil spirit was rushing out.
From what he said, this house is indeed very difficult to deal with and we really can't act rashly. In this case, we can only go back to the hotel first.
It was only then that I realized that Qin Yiheng's clothes were still on the floor, so I asked him what the secret of that clothes was.
Qin Yiheng smiled and said, "There is actually nothing mysterious about that dress. The secret lies in the seven buttons on the chest. These buttons look like the plastic or metal buttons on our clothes, but the materials used are very special. These buttons are made of wolf teeth, and the materials are carefully selected. Only the upper canine teeth of male wolves can be used.
According to legend, wolf teeth can not only ward off evil spirits, but also have a strong murderous aura and can scare away wild beasts. Since ancient times, herders on the grassland have had the custom of wearing wolf teeth to ward off evil spirits. First, because the grassland is endless, it is easy to run into dirty things; second, wild beasts often appear, even if they cannot be scared away, at least there will be comfort in the heart. "Qin Yiheng said that he was a little scared. At that time, there was no object that was very convenient in his hand. Fortunately, he wore this piece of clothes, otherwise I would be in danger tonight.
I can't take my clothes with me tonight. Fortunately, the temperature is not low, so I won't freeze if I go back shirtless. After we left the building, Qin Yiheng kept looking around. After looking for a long time, he still said that there were no buildings nearby that could suppress the evil spirit. Even if there were evil spirits in the nearby high-rise buildings, they were basically dispersed by the streets and people, and would not affect this place. After listening to him, I also looked around in a serious manner, but I couldn't find anything except that the buildings were taller than each other.
But Qin Yiheng suddenly seemed to realize something, and he couldn't help but say "Hey", patted me, and told me that he might have thought of the reason. The half-body thing couldn't crawl out. Since it was not the reason above, then the problem must be below.
I immediately understood what he meant. Could it be that the thing came up from the downstairs of this house? And then for some reason it was trapped in the middle of the two floors, unable to go up or down?
Qin Yiheng nodded and said that we should try to go to the house downstairs tomorrow and there would be an 80% chance that we would find something.
