Daoism catches ghosts [Rebirth]

When Lin Xingzhou took a taxi to the gate of No. [-] Middle School, it was class time. Unsurprisingly, he was stopped by the gate guard. He pretended to go back to his alma mater to visit the teacher, and finally managed to let the guard let him go.

Although he has never been here, high school seems to be like that. He found the teaching building easily, and pretended to be his brother of a certain "unlucky student" who was called by the teacher to be scolded. Floor, searched around, and sneaked into the teacher's office.

During class hours, most of the teachers were not in the office, and the seats were largely empty. Lin Xingzhou looked around the remaining few, and chose a young female teacher. After deciding, he said in a low voice, "Hi, may I ask... is Teacher Chen Daozhong here?"

The female teacher didn't look much older than him, she raised her head, probably dazzled by this handsome guy who fell from the sky, she was taken aback for a moment before pointing: "Yes, the first row on the right is his place, but... ...He has asked for leave for the past two days and has not come to school."

Lin Xingzhou's gaze followed her pointing direction, then quickly retracted, and put on a puzzled expression: "Ask for leave? How come, I saw him a few days ago."

The female teacher looked at him and said, "Did Teacher Chen ask you to meet here?"

"No, no," Lin Xingzhou waved his hand, thought for a while before saying, "That's right, I used to be his student, um...not from this city, I haven't contacted for a long time, I met suddenly recently, and I heard that he is not in good health recently Well, I think I have to visit anyway.”

The female teacher suddenly said "Oh": "Ms. Chen is a special teacher of the school. Are you a student of his previous school? He has indeed been ill recently, with cervical spondylosis. He has survived for a month, and he really can't hold it for the past two days." , went home to rest."

Lin Xingzhou: "Then... do you have any other contact information for him? I only have his mobile phone number, and I can't get through all day today, so turn off the phone."

"Shut down?" The female teacher was stunned for a moment, then rummaged through the table and found a form similar to the registration information, "Here is also a landline at his house, you can call it, if it doesn't work...then I There is no other way."

Lin Xingzhou hurriedly thanked him, wrote down the number and walked to the end of the corridor, stood by the window and dialed the phone, and the answer was answered quickly there.

The voice who answered the phone was a middle-aged woman who claimed to be Chen Daozhong's wife. Lin Xingzhou briefly explained his intentions. The other party was silent for a moment and sighed softly: "It's not that I won't let you come, it's just that he... stays in bed. It's been a few days and I can't entertain you."

When Lin Xingzhou heard this, he thought that it had only been a few days and it was already so serious?It's not easy to directly point out the ghost seal, so I had to talk nonsense: "Actually, my uncle opened a Chinese medicine clinic. I learned a little technique from him before, or...you let me see? Just take a look, I will Don't mess around."

The other party finally couldn't hold him back and reported an address.

Half an hour later, Lin Xingzhou successfully found Chen Daozhong's home.

This place is not far from No. [-] Middle School. The taxi fare has just passed the starting price. It is also an old community. The roads inside are relatively complicated. He walked around for a long time before finding the right place. He followed the address given by the other party to go upstairs and compared it three times. The house number before reaching out to knock on the door.

Maybe it was because he was too "student" in his attire today, the people in the door didn't suspect him, and let him in happily.

As soon as Lin Xingzhou entered the room, he felt that the smell in the room was not right.

He chatted with Ling in his spare time these days, and learned that in order to make their system more humane, they will evaluate their abilities based on the comprehensive information of ghost hunters and assign corresponding tasks so that "novices" can adapt to the system more naturally.

The so-called "capable people do more work", the more capable ghost hunters, the more difficult and dangerous the tasks they receive, and the "rookie" like Lin Xingzhou, the first task is to deal with animals .

Ghost hunting does not allow you to see all the ghosts from the very beginning, and the range of visibility of ghosts is also related to your ability, so that newcomers will not be scared when they see too scary ghosts too early—Lin Xingzhou did not bump into them in the hospital before. Ghosts, not because there were no ghosts in the hospital, but because he couldn't see them at that time.

But now that he has completed a ghost catching task alone, his ability has improved, and his perception of ghosts has increased a little, so he immediately felt that there was something unclean in the house, or "yin energy".

He looked around for a while, but couldn't find the source of the Yin Qi.

He remained calm and talked to the woman for a few words, and the other party pointed him to the bedroom: "He's awake, go and have a look, I'll wash you some fruit."

Lin Xingzhou thanked him and knocked on the door to enter. Chen Daozhong knew he was coming and struggled to sit up.

"You don't have to..."

Lin Xingzhou originally wanted to say "You don't need to get up", but he saw dense black marks on the other party's neck when he was halfway through the conversation, which was much more serious than the last time we met.

So he had no choice but to change his words: "I'll help you."

The bedroom was tidy and tidy, but it was probably because the patient was afraid of the wind, so he didn't open the windows or turn on the air conditioner, so he felt a little stuffy.Chen Daozhong leaned against the head of the bed, with his head lowered all the time, as if he couldn't lift it up, and his complexion was even worse than before.He forced a smile at Lin Xingzhou: "You really have a heart, none of my many students came to see me."

Lin Xingzhou squinted his eyes and stared at the back of the other party's neck. He always felt that there seemed to be something else besides the black mark. He reached into his trouser pocket and touched the talisman paper to try it out. He thought about it and said, "Teacher, if I do You won't blame me for some... things that ordinary people can't understand?"

Chen Daozhong really wanted to look at him, but he couldn't raise his head, so he asked in doubt, "What's the matter?"

"I don't think you're sick, but something unclean." Lin Xingzhou said as he took out a ghost-repelling talisman, "I've offended you."

He stretched his hand over the opponent's shoulder, and patted the talisman in his hand on the back of his neck.

The talisman paper shook violently, and the cinnabar ink on it suddenly dimmed. Something let out a scream, retreated from Chen Daozhong, and was about to slip away.

"Still running!"

Lin Xingzhou grabbed the thing - a small paper man the size of a palm.

The little paper figurine has a nose and eyes, arms and legs, and struggled in his hands: "Take it easy! Take it easy! Don't pinch it, it will break!"

Hearing this scream, Chen Daozhong couldn't calm down even though he had more than twenty years of experience than Lin Xingzhou. He raised his head and looked at him in astonishment: "What is this?"

After he said this, he touched his neck belatedly - he was able to raise his head!

Lin Xingzhou didn't answer right away, he loosened his grip slightly, took back the talisman paper and threatened it in front of the little paper figurine: "Say, who made you attach to him?"

The little paper man wanted to cry but had no tears: "I, I don't know! I was here as soon as I woke up, and someone asked me to hold his neck to prevent him from looking up, I...I..."

Chen Daozhong suppressed the horror in his heart, only felt that his neck still hurt, but he could already raise his head normally and even get out of bed.He looked at the little paper figurine in Lin Xingzhou's hand, and asked after a while, "This..."

Lin Xingzhou waved his hand to signal him to be calm, and turned back to close the door: "Your neck has been hurting all this time, it's because this little paper man is sticking to your body and pressing on your neck. I... there must be some reason, I can see these things, there are many black marks on the back of your neck, it is the ghost of this little paper man."

The two hands of the little paper figurine can match those black marks - the length of the black mark is not the length of the child's fingers, but exactly the width of the little paper figurine's two arms.

Chen Daozhong couldn't answer for a long time, Lin Xingzhou smiled helplessly: "These weird things are really hard to accept, it doesn't matter if you don't believe it, there are some bad things in this room, I will leave after I deal with it, you It can be treated as if everything today...has never happened."

"Xingzhou," Chen Daozhong sighed, and gradually calmed down, "I didn't say I don't believe you, but this kind of thing needs to be digested for a while—you can continue."

Lin Xingzhou nodded, then asked the little paper figurine, "You said 'someone', who is that person?"

"I really don't know." If the little paper man could cry, he would probably have cried himself wet. "I feel like someone is ordering me. I really don't know who he is. I... I don't even know who I am." How did you get onto this paper figurine!"

Lin Xingzhou glanced at it, and suddenly his eyes went wrong, as if he found something, his eyes fell on the bottom drawer of the desk by the window.
