Hit the yin and yang road

Wei Jie's face and facial features were originally good, but because of years of poor sleep and neurasthenia, his face was a bit fierce, unsmiling and tired.Wei Guangming asked him to come down to meet Chen Yang and the others. In front of his father, Wei Jie's attitude was not bad.As soon as Wei Guangming left, he showed a disapproving expression.

Wei Jie held a bunch of keys: "Let's go, I'll take you to the fifth floor to see the painting." After speaking, he walked upstairs, and told him as he walked: "You'd better not touch the collection on the fifth floor. , are very precious and rare. If it is missing or damaged, it will be difficult to get again.”

Chen Yang followed behind him, and asked straightforwardly: "Mr. Wei Xiao doesn't seem to like outsiders entering the collection hall?"

"Just call me Wei Jie. No one likes those greedy mice who covet their own property. As long as they see the things in the collection, as long as they understand the value of the things inside, even fear will quickly turn into greed." Wei Jie seemed to recall the greedy faces of those people in the past, with disdain and disgust.He continued: "I know that old man Wei invited you here to solve the murderer who killed the security guard, but let me tell you that the security guard's death deserves more than he deserves. Who told him to covet the things in the collection, and actually want to steal those treasures!"

Chen Yang: "His death was so strange, it is very likely that an evil spirit was behind it."

"It's just something that can be said with one mouth, who knows if it's true or not. Ha, of course you are all celestial masters. It's normal to suspect that the first object is the evil spirit. But if it is really evil spirits, then those of us who go in and out of the collection hall every day Why hasn’t he died yet? That painting has been hanging in the collection hall for nearly a month, and nothing happened to us who live in the hall.” Wei Jie sneered and stepped up the stairs on the third floor.

Chen Yang casually glanced at the door of the collection room on the third floor. The door was locked, and it was an ordinary big lock.However, there are security doors and electronic locks behind the gate, so the collection inside cannot be seen even through the door.He retracted his gaze and said, "I heard that you often hallucinate."

"It's just taking medicine. Those medicines for neurasthenia will cause people to have hallucinations," he stopped and turned around and said, "Did Qi Yin tell you?" He didn't have to wait for the answer to guess: "She always likes outsiders." Showing her motherly side in front of you, hey, even if she is younger than me, she is rushing to become a stepmother. Did she describe me in front of you as a psychopath who has hallucinated with a pitiful and innocent expression? I just don't sleep well, and it has nothing to do with those supernatural events. She herself advertises that she doesn't believe in supernatural beings, but she prefers to pretend to be ghosts."

Wei Jie continued to step up the stairs: "At home, there is only the old man who is talking about it, and there are two little kids who play tricks every day to attract attention. You'd better not be misled, and you won't find anything if you stay in the library."

Kou Xuanling and Chen Yang looked at each other and asked: "Before we accepted the order, Mr. Wei mentioned to us that many strange and supernatural events have occurred in the museum in the past month. Did it appear in another place, or the electrical equipment that was originally turned off suddenly turned on again. Especially the dead security guard, the way of death is so strange, don’t you suspect it at all?"

"Of course I doubt it, but I don't blame ghosts, I only suspect people with ulterior motives. Qi Yin manages the electrical equipment at home, and whether it is closed or not is what she said. Who knows if it is true or not. As for things falling for no reason It’s better to say that it’s in another place, Wei Zhizhi has no education, it must be her fault.”

Mao Xiaoli frowned: "Zhizhi is still a child under five years old, even if she is a ghost, she doesn't have the energy to do this every day." She doesn't like Wei Jie's pointing all conflicts at Qi Yin's mother and son because of personal feelings, especially when those supernatural events are pushed to the The five-year-old child splashed dirty water without hesitation.

Wei Jie glanced back at Mao Xiaoli, with weird eyes, then smiled, the smile disappeared quickly: "Wei Zhizhi has a mother like that, she is smarter and cunning than anyone else."

At this time, he reached the fifth floor. He stopped in front of the door and opened the door with the bunch of keys, and then opened the electronic door with fingerprint and facial contour recognition. When he walked in, he said in a proud tone: "Only the old man and I can use it at home." Fingerprint and facial contour recognition can open the door on the fifth floor. Others can only open the third and fourth floors. That woman Qi Yin is not even qualified to step into the third floor. no."

Hearing that he belittled Qi Yin in three sentences, it seems that there is a festival.Chen Yangzhu whispered behind him: "Guess...what's the holiday?"

"Cheating.", "I was given a cuckold.", "The ex-lover became a stepmother.", "I thought they were children, but they turned out to be brothers and sisters." Everyone's answers were almost the same, and Chen Yang gave them a tacit high-five.

They walked into a three-meter-long corridor with a door inside.Wei Jie opened it and walked in, and everyone followed.It was pitch black inside, and the light was turned on with a 'snap'.Mao Xiaoli took a step back in fright when she saw the thing in front of her, and could not restrain herself from cursing in a low voice: "Fuck!"

Chen Yang's complexion was also not very good-looking, no wonder Mao Xiaoli would swear, anyone who looked up and faced a soapy female corpse would explode in emotion.In front of him was a glass box two meters long and one meter high, and inside the box was the corpse of a soap woman.There is also a sign on the outside of the box introducing the source and value of the female corpse.

The soap female corpse is considered to be a kind of mummy, and the preservation of the corpse is very good.The formation of soap corpses requires a special environment. Under suitable conditions such as soil, humidity, and temperature, the fat and water when the corpse decomposes combine to form corpse wax. Perfect for preserving dead bodies.However, the formation of a soap corpse requires the whole body to be covered with corpse wax, so it needs enough fat, which means that the corpse must be obese.

The body of the soap girl in front of me was dug out in a certain tomb, and it has a history of 300 years.The relatively well-known corpse of the soap woman was stored in the American Museum 100 years ago, and according to surveys, it is only 200 years old.

Wei Jie said happily: "This soap girl corpse is the treasure of the town hall, and it was also obtained by accident. Ten years ago, the old man went on a business trip to a remote mountainous area, but the villagers there dug up this soap girl corpse. They thought it was an unknown and wanted to burn it. Fortunately, the old man rescued it in time, and spent money to buy it and ship it back to the fifth floor. Every time the museum is opened, those people must come to admire the soap girl corpse."

Covered in wax, the body of the soapy woman lies on her back in a glass box.The mouth grows very large, and the facial expression is distorted and painful, as if he had been tortured before his death.She is displayed in a glass box in the collection hall, under the dim light and the dead atmosphere, it is scary and weird.But Wei Jie's eyes were full of admiration and love, and the words he blurted out were mostly praise, which seemed even weirder.

Zhang Qiudao wandered to a wall covered with human skin faces.After standing quietly for a while, he asked, "Is this true?"

Wei Jie said: "Of course it is true. These are human face slices with a history of hundreds of years. I dare say that no one has such a complete collection as here. These face slices are found in all regions of the world. They are very valuable for research, of course, if you don’t want research value, you can also use them as human skin masks. They can make you into another person without plastic surgery.” He walked to the other side of the wall and looked at the faces on it The slices are full of fascination: "Here are ten face slices, all of which are beautiful faces with various styles."

Mao Xiaoli touched her arm, feeling creepy.She frowned and asked, "I really want to know. The Wei Collection has only been established for 15 years. Where did you get these face slices with a history of more than [-] years?"

Wei Jie said with a smile: "The collection has only been established for 15 years, but our Wei family has collected these things for more than a hundred years. Maybe it's genetics, or maybe it's the influence of bathing since childhood. We all like to collect these weird things. Of course In the eyes of ordinary people, it looks scary, and they think we are all perverts. But we just like to be different, you only see their horror, and we appreciate their unknown beauty."

Mao Xiaoli whispered: "You appreciate their unknown beauty, do they agree?" Even if it is a corpse or a slice of a human face, they are willing to be displayed in the exhibition box for people to satisfy their inner curiosity and serious taste?To put it nicely, it is to discover their advantages and appreciate their beauty, and the essence is to satisfy the inner curiosity.

"What did you say?"

Mao Xiaoli's tone was light: "It's nothing."

Perhaps seeing that the faces of the people present were not very interested, Wei Jie put away his flamboyance and complacency and led them to the other side: "Now I will take you to see that painting."

There are also a lot of strange things in the collection hall, including corpses, human bones, Ajie drums made of human skin, thangkas, skull bowls and other very bloody and brutal things.But on the other side, it becomes other collections, not those human specimens.When passing over the soapy woman's corpse, Mao Xiaoli suddenly felt hairs on her back, she suddenly turned her head to look over, and she didn't find anything wrong after checking it all over.

The hall was very quiet, there was not even the sound of footsteps when not speaking, and it fell into a dead silence.The floor was covered with blankets, and according to Wei Jie, it was because they were afraid of disturbing the things in the museum.Mao Xiaoli originally mocked him because he didn't believe in ghosts and gods, so he was afraid of disturbing the things in the museum. Wei Jie replied that in his heart, these things are alive and full of charm.

This answer made Mao Xiaoli feel hairy all over. She turned around slowly and felt that it might be due to her own psychology. She shook her head and followed the pace of Chen Yang and the others.Therefore, she didn't notice that when she turned around, the head of the soapy female corpse in the glass box tilted to the left with a 'click', just in time to watch the back of the group of people leaving.And the face slices on the entire wall seemed to come alive in an instant, watching the backs of Chen Yang and others leaving.

Go around one wall to the east room of the collection and see the painting right in the center.The painting titled "The Grotesque" is said to be a self-portrait of the artist himself, the murderer who was shot, mixed with blood and paint.The figure in the self-portrait is more like a devil, with a mouthful of sharp and jagged teeth, opening his bloody mouth as if he just finished eating human flesh.Big ears shaped like jagged teeth, eyes like devils, bald head, and a grotesque and terrifying appearance.

Just standing in front of the portrait, you can feel the smell of blood rushing through the glass.The Wei family dares to collect typical ominous objects!But it's not surprising that they can even collect soapy female corpses and human face slices.

Wei Jie: "How? What tricks do you see?"

Chen Yang pointed his finger on the glass and asked, "When did this drop of blood get on?"

"What blood?" Wei Jie leaned over to look, and found a drop of scarlet blood next to the self-portrait's mouth through the glass.He was stunned for a while and then said: "Probably the artist's original blood. This painting was originally painted with his own blood mixed with paint. It is really normal to have blood stains."

The more he spoke, the more confident he became, and his eyes began to flicker.Since the portrait was moved into the collection room, he came up to look at it almost every two or three days. He had already remembered what the portrait looked like, and he had never seen this drop of blood before.He stared at the portrait carefully, feeling in a trance that the mouth of the portrait opened wider and the smile became more ferocious.Even the blood stains on the lips that had been black for a long time seemed to have turned a lot brighter, as if they would open their mouths and bite off the person's head in the next second, and then gnaw off his body bit by bit.

He shook his head and took a few steps back: "I may have taken too much medicine and had hallucinations. There is absolutely no supernatural event. This painting is just an ordinary painting." Wei Jie's attitude was very firm, and he quickly persuaded Self: "This drop of blood was there before, nothing unusual."

Chen Yang: "Really? I think it seems to be stained later."

"Your delusion." Wei Jie suddenly turned cold, and said sharply, "Just because the painter of this painting is a serial murderer, you can't assume that it will kill people! In your eyes, as long as it is used by a dead person, it is unknown. , evil, a house where someone died is a haunted house, and there are frequent accidents on the main road outside, can you still not pass that road because of accidents?"

Chen Yang's tone was still gentle: "Don't get too excited, calm down." He suddenly raised his eyes and looked at Wei Jie, who regained his composure in an instant, but felt a little regretful for his gaffe.

"Sorry, I've been a little troubled recently, and my mood fluctuates." Wei Jie stepped aside to calm himself down, but when he was leaning against the wall, he heard someone call him, "Lean to the left." He subconsciously turned to the left After taking a step, I heard a slight 'duh' sound in the next second. I quickly turned my head to look, and found that the candle holder hanging on the wall fell down and stuck on the ground.

If someone hadn't reminded him, the sharp point of the candle holder would have plunged straight into his head.Wei Jie stared at the candle holder on the ground, panic gradually spread from his heart to his throat, and the blockage in his throat made him feel suffocated in an instant.He vaguely recalled that situations like today had happened many times in this month, and even his second sister and second brother-in-law couldn't stand this life-threatening accident and moved out of the collection hall yesterday.

Wei Jie fumbled for his pocket, took out a sedative tablet from his pocket and swallowed one, took a deep breath before slowly suppressing the panic that was almost overwhelmed.Then he looked at the person who reminded him, it was a handsome young man.He has never had a sense of presence in the crowd, but he has a good relationship with another young man.After reminding him, he turned his back and whispered to the young man.

Wei Jie touched the medicine bottle and thought for a while, then leaned over to Lu Xiuzhi's side and made friends with them.Chen Yang and Kou Xuanling looked at each other, secretly made a gesture of "I'll leave it to you", and then softly signaled Zhang Qiudao and Mao Xiaoli to go to the corner for a chat.

Chen Yang said to them: "Wei Jie's spirit is not normal, and he is often in a trance. He seems to have experienced the situation like just now more than once. Although he looks panicked, he is unexpectedly calm. But he pushes all supernatural events to man-made, It is believed that Qi Yin did it. But he is not important. The Yin Qi in this collection room is heavier than that of any floor in the museum. There are corpses, human face slices, human skin drums, Thangkas, etc. The ghosts are lingering. But the most terrifying thing is that painting. The serial murderer who was shot may really use blood and painting as a medium to hide himself in the painting to escape the pursuit of the evil. Xiaoli, try to find out previous owner of the painting."

Mao Xiaoli: "No problem."

"Please, pay attention to Wei Zhizhi."

Zhang Qiudao: "Don't you care about Qi Yin?"

Chen Yang shook his head: "She doesn't care. Her thoughts and calculations have nothing to do with us, including the relationship with Wei Jie. The conflicts between the Wei family have nothing to do with us, just don't get involved." Anyway, their purpose is to catch The evil spirits in the collection hall did not come to help the Wei family solve puzzles.

"it is good."

After finishing the order, Chen Yang went to look at the painting again, and the more he looked at it, the more sinister he felt.It's just that at present, he knows that there is a problem with the painting, but he can't directly solve it violently. For the Wei family, they must hope to subdue the evil spirits without damaging the painting.Faced with this situation, we can only wait for the evil spirits in the painting to come out by themselves to solve it completely.

While thinking this way, Chen Yang inadvertently caught a glimpse of a glass cabinet next to the painting, and inside the cabinet was a scroll of sheepskin.There are scarlet fonts on the sheepskin scroll, and if you look closely, you can find that these fonts are all island characters.The name of the parchment is written on the front of the display case: "Tomi's Hell", below is a brief introduction, the horror ballad, if you read it from beginning to end, you will be taken to hell by Tomino.

Chen Yang didn't know Japanese, so he couldn't read it even if he missed it.Wei Jie followed Lu Xiuzhi, saw the parchment next to him, and said, "A deceitful horror ballad, it's just a rumour. Even if you read it from beginning to end, you won't be taken to hell. Nothing happened. "

Hearing this, Chen Yang raised his head and asked, "Have you read it before?"

"Of course. I understand Japanese." After finishing speaking, he read it again, and said after finishing reading: "Look, nothing happened. The value of its collection lies in this human skin scroll, which is said to be named Tomino The skin on the boy's back. The background of the horror ballad, a boy named Tomino was tortured to death by his father, and the skin on his back was scraped off to make human skin rolls. The background may be true, but the curse is not true."

"Do you think that the murders you encountered were all accidents? Isn't your fear just because you are in hell?" A child's voice suddenly appeared behind them. They turned around and found that it was Wei Zhizhi.

Wei Zhizhi hugged the clown doll, staring blankly at the human skin scroll in the display case.After hearing what she said, Wei Jie was so angry that the flesh on his face trembled slightly. He roared angrily, and the volume became louder and louder: "Wei Zhizhi, you have a weird mood all day long, have you had enough trouble?! Who taught you this sentence? Didn't you? Yin? Is it her!!"

Wei Zhizhi suddenly broke into a smile, and stuck out his tongue at Wei Jie: "Slightly slightly." Wei Jie was so angry that he wanted to hit her, and she ran out quickly.Wei Jie was so angry that he chased after him. After running out of the storage room, Wei Zhizhi slipped out from the corner and laughed, laughing at Wei Jie for being an idiot.She ran up to Chen Yang and said seriously: "Although you lied to me that adults can't play hide-and-seek, I still like you."

Chen Yang squatted down: "Why do you like me?"

"Huh? Don't you ask me who taught me to say that sentence? They will ask me when they hear me say something strange." Wei Zhizhi tilted her head in confusion, looking innocent.It's just that the words that come out of the mouth are much more indifferent: "But if they ask, I won't say anything."

"I asked and didn't tell?"

Wei Zhizhi showed a troubled expression: "Why don't I ask them?"

"No need." Chen Yang already knew from this sentence what taught her to say those wicked words, he patted Wei Zhizhi's head and smiled, "Zhizhi is very obedient and very good."

Wei Zhizhi stared at her big eyes, then suddenly turned and ran out.Just bumped into Wei Jie who was coming back, and Wei Jie grabbed her to prevent her from running.Wei Zhizhi struggled and cried, but Wei Jie made up his mind to teach her a lesson, so he grabbed her arm and asked Chen Yang and others to leave the collection room, and he wanted to lock the door.

Chen Yang walked over and hugged Wei Zhizhi, his eyes were calm and oppressive, forcing Wei Jie to let go of his hand unconsciously. "Zhizhi is only five years old, so it's inevitable that he will be playful. As an adult, Mr. Wei Xiao doesn't need to transfer the grudges between adults to children."

Wei Zhizhi put her arms around Chen Yang and whispered, "It hurts." Her arm was pinched with bruises.

Wei Jie: "Just be deceived by her, she is the best at deceiving people just like her mother." Wei Zhizhi nestled into Chen Yang's arms in fear, and buried her face in Chen Yang's neck to be quiet.Wei Jie continued: "I can't control you, let the old man teach you a lesson."

After speaking, he went downstairs, probably in a hurry to tell Wei Guangming.Chen Yang comforted gently: "It's okay, don't be afraid."

Wei Zhizhi whispered, "I didn't mean it, I was reminding him."

"I know."

Wei Zhizhi's voice was so low that only he could hear it: "It's really a reminder, but it's a pity he didn't listen..."

When Chen Yang and others arrived on the first floor, they found that the downstairs was in chaos, mixed with cursing and wailing, and heard Wei Guangming scolding Qi Yin: "Who told you to call an ambulance? Call my personal doctor and come back quickly." beat!!"

Qi Yin hung up on the ambulance and called Wei Guangming's personal doctor instead.Seeing Chen Yang and others coming down, Wei Guangming became a little complicated when his eyes fell on Wei Zhizhi, but he quickly returned to normal and called them to the living room.

Chen Yang asked: "Mr. Wei, what happened?"

"It's nothing, Ajie accidentally fell from upstairs and suffered a slight injury." Wei Guangming described it lightly, but the actual situation was much more serious than a casual sentence.

It was later that Chen Yang and the others found out that when Wei Jie tripped and fell on the third floor, out of self-rescue, he tore off the decoration hanging on the side, and the decoration fell directly downstairs.And Wei Jie rolled down the stairs just in time to press his leg on the decoration, and was directly pierced.

The author has something to say:

"Tomino's Hell" is a horror ballad, and it is said that after reading it, you will be cursed.Then its background is fabricated, because there is too little information about this ballad found, which is equivalent to no.Therefore, they will fabricate and fabricate the background.
