I use the fox fairy to suppress all ghosts

Chapter 2509: Dead Man's Ditch

The old man's dim eyes suddenly lit up again after hearing Cui Jiangyu asking about that place, but his eyes were full of fear, as if he was thinking of something that he could not forget.

He was stunned for a long moment before his eyes fell on the two of us again.

"You...why are you asking about that place?" The old man was a little panicked.

At this point, we have no choice but to reveal our identities, otherwise the old man might hide something.

Cui Jiangyu immediately took out his ID and showed it to the old man. Then he said, "Old man, there has been a lot of unrest in that place recently. Many people have died. More than ten years ago, there was a fire that killed many people. We want to ask you to investigate the past of that place and find out the whole story. Then we can decide how to deal with the problem there."

The old man took a look at Cui Jiangyu's ID, sighed, and said quietly, "That place was called the Death Pit in the past. It was a mass grave. As far as I can remember, if a poor person died and had no money to bury him, he would be thrown directly into the Death Pit and wrapped in a tattered straw mat. In a few days, wild dogs would eat him up. Sometimes, even if he was buried in the soil, he would be dug out and eaten by wild dogs. It was really pitiful."

"Besides the corpse pit, is there anything else?" Cui Jiangyu asked.

The old man turned his head to look out the window, thinking carefully about the past events. After a while, he continued, "In the past, that place was a place of execution. When executing criminals, they would do it in the death pit. I've seen beheadings when I was a child. Several people were tied up tightly and knelt on the ground. The executioner held a big knife and chopped them down. Their heads rolled to the ground and blood spurted out far away. Every time an execution was carried out, many people would go to watch. Some people would take steamed buns and dip them in the blood of the death row prisoner, saying that it could cure diseases. Later, beheadings were no longer done. Instead, they were shot. A gun was aimed at the head and the brains were shot out..."

Perhaps he had too many things to think about, so the old man paused and continued.

"I don't know how many people died in that place. I remember going there at night when I was a kid. There were blue ghost lights floating everywhere in the Dead Man's Ditch. During the day, the place was eerie. I remember when I was a kid, I went to the Dead Man's Ditch with a few friends. After we came back, several of us were possessed by evil spirits. I also got a serious illness and it took me half a month to recover. Since then, I have never been there again."

"Those were chaotic years. It was easier to kill a person than a dog. As long as you were rich and powerful, you could do whatever you wanted in Shanghai. What impressed me most was that there was a very young and beautiful female star in Shanghai named Ruan Xiaoyu. Everyone in Shanghai knew that Ruan Xiaoyu was favored by a warlord in Shanghai. But Ruan Xiaoyu already had a lover, so the warlord killed Ruan Xiaoyu's lover and threw the body into the dead man's ditch."

Hearing this, an idea suddenly occurred to me, as if I had captured some useful information.

Could the woman in cheongsam that I saw in the haunted building yesterday be the female star named Ruan Xiaoyu?

"Old man, please continue." I urged.

"After the warlord killed Ruan Xiaoyu's lover, he forced Ruan Xiaoyu to surrender and live with him, but Ruan Xiaoyu refused and hated the warlord so much. So the warlord took force and captured Ruan Xiaoyu to his home. When he bullied Ruan Xiaoyu, Ruan Xiaoyu bit off a piece of flesh from the warlord's body. This annoyed the warlord, and he immediately ordered people to tie Ruan Xiaoyu up. After bullying Ruan Xiaoyu, he let dozens of soldiers around him bully her together... Later, Ruan Xiaoyu died, and her body was taken to the ditch and burned. When Ruan Xiaoyu died, there happened to be a crematorium there." The old man sighed again.

Wow, no wonder he was so fierce. It seems that Ruan Xiaoyu died even more miserably than Sister Na. It was simply inhumane.

Cui Jiangyu asked with some confusion: "Old man, how did you know about this?"

The old man glanced at Cui Jiangyu and said calmly, "I used to have a younger uncle who worked for that warlord. He was responsible for standing guard at the door. He did not participate in the bullying of Ruan Xiaoyu, but he heard everything that happened at the time, and he also heard the noise inside. Ruan Xiaoyu was tortured to death and kept cursing the warlord until she died... It was so pitiful."

"What happened to the warlord later?" I asked curiously.

"She died... She was killed in the war. After Ruan Xiaoyu died, many of her fans in Shanghai were very sad. I also heard that seven people set themselves on fire in front of the crematorium for Ruan Xiaoyu. The crematorium was not peaceful afterwards. I heard that it was often haunted. The workers in the crematorium saw many shadows swaying around the crematorium every night. When people were cremated, many horrible noises came out of the crematorium. Later, several workers in the crematorium died inexplicably, and the crematorium could no longer operate." The old man continued.

The more I listened, the more I felt that Ruan Xiaoyu was the cheongsam female ghost we met last night.

At that time, the cheongsam female ghost let out a ghostly howl, and seven ghost shadows appeared behind her, and the terrifying purple-black evil spirit rushed towards us.

Those seven ghosts probably burned themselves to death just because of Ruan Xiaoyu.

The old man continued, "The crematorium was demolished after only a few years of use. At that time, the people above discussed and decided to let foreigners build a church there because the place was too evil. They said building a church could suppress it, but it didn't work... The church was haunted all the time, and many people died there, including many foreigners. The church was then abandoned. Even after the church was abandoned, the place was still not peaceful, because people would always die there..."

After listening to what the old man said, I finally understood the general idea. There were countless people who died in the Dead Man's Ditch before, and there was a lot of resentment in the place. Later, Ruan Xiaoyu and her seven fans were also buried there. Ruan Xiaoyu had a lot of resentment to begin with, and then she was buried in such a place with a lot of resentment as the Dead Man's Ditch. After she died there, she would inevitably become like the ghost king of the Dead Man's Ditch, devouring and gathering the ghosts in that place, making her even more powerful. Now it has come to this situation, and it is already a little out of control.
