Part 2 Chapter 44 Bait
I rushed straight into the living room, which was also pitch black. However, the curtains were not drawn, so some light from outside could still come in.
I looked around, but there was still no one. I found the switch and pressed it, but the light didn't come on, so I had to use my phone to scan around. This time I realized that this living room was very strange, because there were many bowls on the floor near the living room and the door.
I leaned over to take a look and saw that the bowl was full of rice porridge, which was completely cold. I had no idea when it was put there.
I thought to myself: 'Were the people in the room eating? The food is really not that good, no wonder they were embarrassed to ask me to eat with them. But this house doesn't have a dining room, why did they all come to the door to eat?'
Although it was strange, I didn't think too much about it and continued to search the house to see if I could find the main power source. I turned around and walked a few steps, then I stopped again. Because right behind me, I heard a very clear slurping sound.
My scalp immediately went numb. The situation was obvious. Someone was obviously drinking porridge!
But how come the other party doesn’t react at all when I’m such a big person shining the light?
I tried to calm my breathing, turned around, and saw a person squatting on the ground with his back to me, eating something that seemed to be quite delicious. The slurping sound never stopped...
I couldn't see his face, and I didn't dare to use my phone to shine, so I could only look at him with the light from the window. Unfortunately, he was squatting far from the window, so I couldn't see anything clearly.
I was hesitating whether to call him out loud. Before I made a decision, I discovered another problem.
This person doesn't seem to be wearing any clothes!
I opened my eyes wide and tried to confirm, and found that the person was indeed naked.
Now I dared not to act rashly. This was not normal even for a living person! The man was very absorbed in eating, never looking up, and ate one bowl after another.
I was very conflicted. I wanted to take the initiative, but I was afraid of hurting someone by mistake. I wanted to avoid him, but he was blocking the door. I couldn't just hide back in the room, right?
Just as I was struggling, a figure suddenly jumped out from behind me, moved very quickly, and knocked down the person eating porridge.
The bowl fell to the ground with a "bang" and the two figures started fighting each other in an instant.
My mouth opened wide, and my first reaction was that another person had come to steal the food. I thought to myself, "No wonder there's no one in this room. These two are so hungry, they must be cannibals." I immediately ran back to the previous room.
As soon as I started to move, I heard one of the figures yelling my name, and then Qin Yiheng's familiar voice came over: "Jiang Shuo! Don't fucking run away, help me hold him down and look at his palm lines! Look at his palm lines quickly!"
When I heard it was Qin Yiheng, I was so happy that I didn't care about being afraid anymore and went forward to help. Unfortunately, the two of them were fighting too tightly. At first, I wanted to kick them, but I didn't dare to kick them after aiming for a long time.
Finally, I just ignored it and rushed towards the two of them. There was no other way. The two of them were fighting on the ground, rolling around, and I really couldn't find any other way to help Qin Yiheng.
The man Qin Yiheng was holding down was very strong, and he didn't look like he had nothing to eat! I tried my best to push him down, but he couldn't hold me down, and in the end he even rolled me on the ground.
There were quite a few broken pieces of bowls on the ground. One of them pierced my forearm directly and penetrated into the flesh. It hurt so much that I almost cried.
In this situation, in the dark, two against one is not necessarily an advantage. Fortunately, we just wanted to hold this person down, otherwise if we used fists and feet, Qin Yiheng and I might get hurt accidentally.
If Qin Yiheng hadn't been wearing clothes, I wouldn't have been able to tell who was who between them, and I could only hold on to that person's thighs desperately.
The three of them tossed and turned for five minutes, and I started to sweat all over, and the man's resistance became less severe. However, he still kicked me in the face several times.
After another cigarette's time, Qin Yiheng was finally able to stand up and use his knee to press against the man's back, thus subduing him.
I collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath. This amount of exercise was really a bit too much for me. Not only was my body covered in bruises, but when I touched my butt, I found a lot of porridge on it. It was fucking disgusting.
I wanted to see what the naked man looked like, but then I realized that my phone had fallen somewhere during the fight, so I had to get closer to take a closer look.
This person didn't have any special reaction when he saw me. I don't know if I didn't see clearly, but I felt that his expression was very dull.
What surprised me was that this person was not only naked, but also had no hair. I resisted the urge to pat him on the head, even though he looked quite docile now, he might go crazy again if I patted him.
Qin Yiheng held the man down for a while, then asked me to take out a lighter and shine it on the man's palm. After lighting the lighter, I could finally see what the man looked like. Judging from his face, he should be from the south. Strictly speaking, he looks pretty, but because of his hairstyle, he doesn't look very pleasing.
Although this man was being pinned down, he still clenched his fists tightly, and looked ready to fight back at any time.
It took me a lot of strength to pry his fist open, and when I shone the light on it, I gasped.
I saw that the palm of this person's hand was obviously burned by something. The wound was very old and looked extremely painful.
Qin Yiheng exclaimed "Ah" when he saw this, and told me to look at the other palm immediately. The result was the same. Not to mention the palm lines, even the person's knuckles were a little indistinguishable.
I simply lit a cigarette with a lighter, put it into Qin Yiheng's mouth, and lit one for myself.
In fact, I was ready to scold him at first. He was really too much in the bath center. I thought about it and asked him first: "Who is this person? Where did you go that night?"
Qin Yiheng took a puff of cigarette and asked me to take his place for a while. I then realized that he had been strangling . I took it and took a photo with my hands free. I found that it was the Yinkou that Qin Yiheng had shown me at home earlier, the hemp rope that several people had used to hang themselves.
I knelt on one knee on the man's back in the same position, and when I looked down, I saw a scar on his back that looked like a table. When I saw this, my heart immediately jumped to my throat. How could this person look like the plaster statue sent to Qin Yiheng's house?
I held the clitoris buckle in my hand, and my palms began to sweat. Fortunately, Qin Yiheng was just pulling out the broken pieces of bowl that had stuck in his body, and then he came to control this person for me.
I continued to use the lighter to illuminate him. The flame flickered and his expression was solemn.
After he finished smoking a cigarette, he spoke again and said that this person was a bait, maybe a homeless person, or maybe he was swindled from another place. In short, his previous identity was not important.
This bait, with only a shell left, was thrown at a crossroads at night, and then a fire was set on it, attracting filth from kilometers around.
According to legend, this was a method used in ancient times to deal with locust plagues. People in the old days believed that locust plagues were caused by evil spirits from the human world, so if porridge was offered to the evil spirits at the entrance of the village, there would naturally be no locust plagues.
This kind of bait is usually made of live cattle, live sheep or even live fish, the purpose is to lure the leader of the starving ghosts to the bait, and then kill him with a butcher knife. It can be described as killing the leader of the bandits, and it is also to use the evil spirit to dispel the negative energy of the starving ghosts.
Only a butcher with many years of experience can carry out this entire process. First, ordinary people don't have enough violence and are easily fooled. Second, according to legend, once starving ghosts have taken the bait, they are not easy to be slaughtered, so they must be killed with one knife, otherwise there will be a big mess.
Qin Yiheng lit another cigarette and continued, "And this person was possessed by a starving ghost using the same method. I'm afraid he has been kept in this house for a long time."
The starving ghost itself is a very vicious kind of filth, and it is difficult to drive it away once it possesses a person. To put it simply, it is relatively stable, and because it instinctively wants to eat, it is relatively easy to control, and all you need is food and some small magic.
The purpose of raising it is very simple, it is used to wake people up from dreams!
