I picked up a ghost and took it home

Guan Xinxin, 19 years old, is a first-year student majoring in Chinese Language and Literature in the Literature Department of Gucheng University.

Excellent grades, introverted personality, few friends, but no obvious quarrels with others.Apart from staying up late, I usually have no bad living habits.

...Hobbies, unknown.

……Mobile phone commonly used website, unknown.

...Whether there is something strange recently is unknown.

Guan Tong and his wife knew very little about their daughter's basic situation. Since her daughter entered high school, due to academic pressure, she gradually became taciturn and less lively and cheerful than before. However, because she has always been obedient and obedient, the couple did not pay attention.Especially this year, Guan Xinxin was successfully admitted to the Literature Department of Gucheng University and became a college student that they were very proud of. They felt more at ease about Guan Xinxin.

Guan Xinxin began to live on campus after studying at university, returning home every weekend or every two weeks.

But two weeks ago, the school suddenly called and said that Guan Xinxin had disappeared.

When Guan Tong and his wife arrived at Gucheng University, Guan Xinxin was found lying unconscious on the path by the lake.

And never woke up again.

Ye Fan followed Pang Guang's example and wrote down the information in his notebook. Seeing that Guan Tong and his wife couldn't say anything more, he said, "Uncle, aunt, cousin's cell phone, I want to take it back to the police station to investigate the data, wait Check it out and send it back, okay?"

Guan Tong and his wife naturally agreed, hearing that so many people had the same situation, and knowing that the police were involved in the case, they were also a little relieved.

Ye Fan hesitated, and said, "Uncle and aunt, if you have any difficulties, you can call me, but don't quarrel in front of my cousin anymore... Although she is unconscious, she can still hear it subconsciously, listen When you quarrel over her, she may be... more sad than you can imagine."

The tall Guan Tong shook his body and said in a trembling voice, "Yes, Xinxin has always been a sensible and good boy."

"Then take the phone." Ye Fan first asked Guan Tong and his wife to enter the ward, and he followed.Li Xuan was sitting on the chair next to Guan Xinxin's hospital bed, with his right hand resting on Guan Xinxin's forehead, with a focused expression, as if he was searching for something. When he noticed that Guan Tong and his wife came in, he stopped and stood up.

Ye Fan asked with his eyes, "Have you seen it?"

Li Xuan nodded slightly.

Ye Fan took the mobile phone and found that the mobile phone had a password setting. He asked Guan Tong and his wife. The couple shook their heads and said they did not know the password.He put the phone in his pocket and said goodbye with Li Xuan.Walking out of the ward, Li Xuan said, "I can feel the breath of 30 people, locked in the same place."

"All 30 people... have lost their souls?!" Ye Fan asked in surprise, "Can you find a place to release their souls?"

"The location cannot be confirmed. Monsters are more illusory existences than ghosts. They are born from the human heart and exist in someone's heart. Only by finding the person who created the demon and untie the knot can the trapped soul be rescued. "

"A person who has a heart demon? Untie the heart knot?"

"Everyone has inner demons. The deeper the obsession, the stronger the inner demons; the stronger the inner demons, the greater the influence on the surroundings." Li Xuan thought for a while and said, "However, this time the inner demons, the light It's very warm, and the souls trapped by her are also very happy, they... seem to be doing something they like."

Ye Fan suddenly remembered that the victims Yu Huan and Guan Xinxin, although unconscious, had smiles on their lips.

As if immersed in a beautiful dream.

After contacting Pang Guang, Ye Fan rushed back to the police station.

In the small conference room, Pang Guang excitedly pushed away the information on the desktop, spread out a detailed map of Xuanyuan Ancient City-Tongcheng District, and circled twenty locations with a red marker. He said, "This is the second The places where the ten victims were found, you say, are all in the northern part of Tongcheng District! No wonder they all ran away from home or sleepwalked, it turned out that it was not for no reason, they were all unconsciously moving closer to one place!"

Yuan Sen explained Pang Guang's move, "Different demons have different influences. Fortunately, the demons this time don't seem to be malicious-the demons are born of evil thoughts. If The inner demon is not very malicious, so her power will not be very great—but this is temporary, and I don’t know what will happen in the future. The reason why the victim ran away from home or walked to a strange alleyway this time was because In order to get close to the place where the demons are, so that they can be controlled."

Pang Guang connected the outermost red circles one by one to form a circle; then connected the inner red circles to draw a smaller concentric circle within the circle; The red circles on the first floor are connected to form another concentric circle.And the closer to the center of the circle, the denser the red circle, and the higher the frequency of cases.

Yuan Sen said, "We need to find out the body of the demon at the 'center' according to other clues."

"Find out the body of the demon and untie the knot in your heart to save your soul?" Ye Fan asked.

Hara Mori nodded.

After Pang Guang finished drawing the circle, he sat down on the chair next to him, stared at the map and asked, "Who can have a 'demon'?"

"People who have dissatisfaction, evil thoughts, and obsessions in their hearts... kind people have obsessions. This is what I feel this time." Hara Mori said.He has answered this question Pang Guang No. 20 times today, but Pang Guang is used to asking questions non-stop when he is thinking about the problem.And every time he heard the answer, Pang Guang would casually list various possibilities in his notebook.Therefore, Yuan Sen will still answer every time, and when answering, try his best to dig out more characteristics of "inner demon".

"Good people have obsessions... What does that have to do with mobile phones? Why does everyone have to hold their mobile phones before they faint?" Pang Guang asked, "Brother Xiaoye, did you gain anything from there?"

Ye Fan took out Guan Xinxin's cell phone and put it on the table.After he returned to the police station, he immediately asked the technical staff to unlock the mobile phone password, and checked the content of the mobile phone. He said, "There is no 'Wen Tian' game on Guan Xinxin's mobile phone, and before that, Since the phone is set with a password, it is impossible for others to operate the phone. Therefore, the possibility that the victim is related to this game can be ruled out."

Pang Guang crossed out the option of "Mobile Game - Wentian" with a bit of heartache, and complained, "I still put my hopes in this game, thinking that there may be problems here."

"With 200 million people playing, if there is a problem, the victim cannot be of this magnitude." Yuan Sen poured cold water on it.

Ye Fan continued, "Guan Xinxin has an introverted personality and a simple life. There are not many softwares on the mobile phone. Apart from the basic system software, there is only one music software and reading software. You can start with these two."

"No way." Yuan Sen took Guan Xinxin's mobile phone and turned over the desktop - no need to turn over, there is only one page, it is easy to see at a glance, the system software is in a package, and the other software is really only music and reading, he He exclaimed, "Fuck, is this a nun, an ascetic, or a modern person? Life is so monotonous?!"

Pang Guang snatched the phone, "Whether it's a nun or an ascetic, the phone only has two apps, it's really saved, do you know the pain of turning nineteen phones and all the apps over and over to find something in common?"

Having said that, after seeing Guan Xinxin's mobile phones, Pang Guang immediately took out seventeen mobile phones from the locker, together with Yu Huan's mobile phone that he got today, and Guan Xinxin's mobile phones, they were placed in a row on the table, crossed He bent his waist and said, "Then let's start with music and reading software."

Pang Guang also said, "Although the mobile phone models are different, the possibility of system software problems is basically ruled out, but... as expected, we still need to start with music and reading software."

"Nonsense." Yuan Sen rolled his eyes.

"Nonsense. All kinds of situations should be considered." Ye Fan said, "It's just that this incident, considering that the demon is a 'personal' situation, and the scope of influence is limited, it should not be possible to affect the software itself. , probably through some kind of targeted dissemination method, the people who received the relevant news were affected.”

"For example?" Pang Guang asked sensitively.

"For example, the heart demon likes listening to this song very much, so people who hear this song in a certain state will lose their souls." Ye Fan added, "Li Xuan said that thirty people gathered together Let’s do something we like together—could it be getting together and listening to our favorite songs? Do we want to start a band?”

Li Xuan and Mao Shisan were both resting their chins and staring at the KFG takeaway on the table hungry. When they heard Ye Fan's words, Li Xuan raised his face and said frankly, "It's not listening to music, nor reading."

Ye Fan was quite confident at first, but when Li Xuan denied it, he immediately called out, "Hey, isn't it?"

Li Xuan thought for a while, then said slowly, "I'm hungry." Mao Shisan desperately nodded in agreement.

"...Let's eat!" Pang Guang waved his big hand, "Brother Xiaoye, you two are really... so carefree and cute."

"Yes, quite carefree, very free and very cute." Ye Fan said, tearing open the ketchup packet for Li Xuan, and squeezing the sauce on the French fries - Li Xuan has many things he is good at, but the most What he is not good at is tearing this kind of packaging bag, and the "blood splatter" that can be torn back and forth is too wasteful, Ye Fan can't bear it!

Pang Guang came to Li Xuan with a chair, bit his hamburger and continued to ask, "What do you mean when you see thirty people gathered together?"

Li Xuan dipped in the ketchup, ate the French fries slowly, and said, "It's not a gathering, but thirty souls are trapped in the same demon. What are they doing, I don't know... I Didn't go in to see."

Pang Guang slapped his thigh anxiously, and his voice became louder, "Why don't you go in and have a look? What a great opportunity!"

Li Xuan lowered his face, seeing that he was not happy.

Ye Fan hurriedly dragged Pang Guanglian and his chair away, "Eat first, let's talk when we are full."

Li Xuan then continued to eat French fries, Ye Fan said, "Don't you want hamburgers?"

"No appetite." Li Xuan propped his chin on his hands, and turned his face to the other side sullenly.

"No appetite?" Yuan Sen took a bite of the hamburger and said suddenly, "No way, I'll have it so soon?"

"Pfft——" Mao Shisan, who was drinking Coke, spit out a big gulp, spraying the gray-brown Coke froth on Yuan Sen's face.

"Damn it." Yuan Sen stood up vigorously, and was about to throw the hamburger in his hand on Mao Shisan's head. Li Xuan had already clapped his hands, and looked at Yuan Sen with a smile, "It deserves it."

"Damn it!" Yuan Sen cursed back angrily, "Better than you, damn it!"

Seeing that the war was about to break out, Mao Shisan hurriedly backed away while protecting his hamburger and Coke. Pang Guang and Ye Fan had already grasped each other quickly, "Stop, stop, peace is the most important thing, don't say a word, don't say a word."
