"No, we didn't have much contact at that time. It took more than half a year after he got rich before he came to see me again. You should have done your homework. His mother passed away at that time."

"Yes."

"His wife had his condition under control at that time, and he was relieved. Unexpectedly, his old mother passed away suddenly. He lamented to me that things are unpredictable. Later, I heard that his business was getting bigger and bigger, but there were rumors around him. . His relatives and friends died one after another, and some people suspected that he was up to something."

"What are you doing?"

"It's just about cooking methods, Feng Shui and the like. Rumors are very ridiculous. It's said that he set up a Feng Shui bureau in his factory, and the fate of everyone who comes in is recorded. Then every once in a while, someone dies and becomes The ghost was sucked into the Feng Shui bureau to bring him wealth. Anyway, it’s some messy stuff.”

"Is there a source for this rumor?"

"source?"

"It may be that his enemies, business competitors, etc. deliberately set it out to attack him, or maybe someone really saw unusual Feng Shui decorations in his factory."

"How is this possible? It was just random speculation by people at the time. Just let this kind of rumor go unnoticed, no one believes it at all."

"Rumors spread, but no one believes them?"

"We've all started reforming and opening up. How long have we been destroying the Four Olds? How can anyone still believe in that kind of thing?"

"But it is a fact that Mr. Lin's relatives and friends have died one after another. Isn't it that no one is afraid? There are no employee resignations in his factory? And no one among his relatives and friends alienates him because of this?"

"This... didn't happen. At that time, no one did that."

"Mr. Sun, don't you think this situation is strange?"

"I...I don't think so...I didn't think much about it, but...ah, when you say it...those rumors do have a source. At that time, Lin Yifan opened a factory, and there were two people in our scientific research institute. I was dragged by him to work there. At that time, there was a little Wu named Wu Ze, and he was the first to say those words."

"Wu Ze? What kind of person is he?"

"A very motivated young man went to college in a rural area. He was assigned to our institute as soon as he graduated from college. Then he worked for a year or two and went to Lin Yifan's factory. He was very motivated at work, and no one expected him to say such things. I also heard this rumor from him. He had found a new job at that time and was leaving Minqing City. Before leaving, he came to the office to say goodbye."

"There are also such rumors in Mr. Lin's factory. Was he the first to say it?"

"I heard this later. Some people scolded him for being unreasonable, but Lin Yifan didn't care and spoke for him. No one believed the rumor anyway."

"So, when you first said Mr. Lin was pitiful, you were referring to the fact that his wife was ill and he was forced to go into business?"

"Yes. His wife died in 1999, and his son died before that. I went to the funeral, and everyone was dead and had no consciousness at all. The factory was very profitable before he died, but I think something is wrong with his state, and his mind is not on the factory. He once mentioned to me that he wanted to close the factory and return to the scientific research institute, but the factory is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more people below, so he can't say that he wants to close the factory. Even though it was time to find a new owner, he couldn't find a suitable successor so quickly. As far as I heard from him, he had been doing this since 2000, and he didn't get rid of this burden until he committed suicide. That factory, that That’s when he becomes the burden.”

"I see."

"In other words, he has no intention of running the business, but the factory is still making progress?"

"Yeah. If you ask me, when a factory reaches that scale, it really doesn't make any difference whether it has a boss or not. In ancient times, wasn't it true that if the emperor didn't go to court, the world would be peaceful?"

"What you said makes sense. Do you have Wu Ze's contact information?"

"No. He didn't go into detail about the new unit."

"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you today."

"You are welcome."

On July 4, 2010, I contacted Wu Ze. Audio file 06620100704.wav.

"What do you want to ask Director Lin about?"

"Yes. According to what we heard, you noticed something was wrong with Mr. Lin's condition at that time, or was there something wrong with the factory that Mr. Lin opened?"

"You...are you asking this?"

"Yes, we are from the magazine "Strange Stories" and are very interested in this kind of supernatural events."

"Oh..."Strange Tales"...this incident can indeed be regarded as the supernatural incident you mentioned."

"Can you tell me more about it?"

"You guys are working on this magazine, have you ever seen anyone with Yin and Yang eyes?"

"Have you opened your Yin and Yang eyes?"

"I can see that kind of thing. But that was when I was a child. My hometown is in the countryside, and there is a big mountain next to it. I have seen ghosts and ghosts in the mountains. Haha, you may think I am bragging, but I really see it. I’ve been there before, it’s not a mistake, I’ve really seen that kind of thing.”

"That's amazing. Will you still have this ability when you grow up?"

"It's gone. It probably disappeared after entering junior high school. The last time I saw it was in the last year of elementary school. At that time, I went to play with the village children in the mountains. I saw a ghost in the cemetery on the mountain. It was an old man from the village who had just been buried."

"You don't seem to be afraid of this kind of thing?"

"They won't hurt me, so why should I be afraid? The ghosts on the mountain in our village were all villagers when they were alive. The villagers also gave tribute to those mountain spirits and monsters. They don't harm the people in our village."

"So, where is Mr. Lin's factory?"

"...So I was scared at that time. Alas...Many people died around Director Lin at that time, and there were constant funerals, but those people didn't feel anything at all. They didn't even say 'Why did someone die again?'" I didn’t say anything, it seemed...it seemed like I was the only one who realized that many people had died, and more and more people were dying. I was really scared, so I found a new job and left Minqing City."

"Did Mr. Lin notice it?"

"He did. When he attended the funeral, he was not sad, but numb and worried. Furthermore, after I told people about my discovery, Director Lin came to see me. He did not warn me not to mess up. When you talk, you just ask me if I have noticed that people around him have been dying."

"In other words, you and Mr. Lin are the only ones who feel the abnormality?"

"Yeah, we were the only ones who felt it. When I resigned, Director Lin still smiled. He...I think he wanted everyone around him to leave."

"You only discovered this phenomenon of dead people, but didn't find anything else strange? Where did the rumor from the Feng Shui Bureau come from?"

"That's not what I said. I just think that this kind of frequency of dead people is not normal. The Feng Shui Bureau rumors may have been spread by... Director Lin himself."

"He wants to drive people away from the factory?"

"I think so."

"Can't he just shut down the factory?"

"The factory is expanding too fast. Not only the people inside the factory, but also many suppliers and sellers are relying on the factory to make a living. He wants to close the factory all at once, and many people will have to drink the northwest wind. To put it harshly, , that way you may die faster, and the impact will be too great.”

"Did you hear about Mr. Lin's death later?"

"I saw it in the newspaper. It's quite funny. After he died, everyone discovered that all his relatives and friends were dead. It was like a ghost covering his eyes. Before that, no one noticed anything was wrong."
