The Haunted

"Get a body together?" Chi Yan repeated in a murmur, somewhat unable to understand the meaning of the other party's words.

He had heard of taking the place of a dead ghost, of seizing a house... but he had never heard of "putting" a body together in this way.How to get together?They can't be sewn together to form a single person, can they?

"To be precise, it's looking for a host." Hu Xingdao, "As I told you just now, this kind of demon spirit is usually born by relying on some objects that are originally humanoid, such as statues, dolls, or even portraits. Because humans It is the spirit of all things, and when a humanoid dead thing sees blood and is possessed by evil and resentment, it is easy to produce such evil spirits. Its host will be regarded as its own body."

"If the evil spirit is very strong and powerful, it may be able to condense into a solid body without a body, but such ones are so rare that it is basically impossible to exist. This one is very strange. After I came to City A, I came into contact with the murdered The dead body of the victim, you can still feel the evil spirit left by that thing, its evil spirit is very strong and domineering, but now you want to make a host for yourself... So I deduce that it should have no physical host before, and it has been relying on The evil energy it possesses condenses into an entity, disguises itself as a human being, and blends in human society, but this cannot last long, and its evil energy may be lost all the time, so it is so anxious to risk exposure and come out to harm people so frequently.”

Hearing this, Chi Yan felt a chill behind him, couldn't help shivering, and asked, "...Finding hosts...does it hurt so many people? And why did those victims come to me?"

"This is a kind of sorcery. If it doesn't have a natural host, it's not so easy to find a suitable host for yourself. The easiest way for that thing is probably to gather the flesh and blood of nine people. Come out with a new body. As for you..." Hu Xing turned to Chi Yan, and looked at him again from top to bottom.

Chi Yan's heart sank following her words, and at this moment, a fluffy little black head with two pointed ears got out of Hu Xing's tote bag, and he let out a "owwow" , brown and round eyes looked at Hu Xing with some grievances.

Hu Xing touched it, as if to appease it, and then stuffed the little thing in again.

She smiled at Chi Yan: "This is my black fox. It's not a demon, but it's very spiritual. It was raised in my teacher's school. It can suppress evil spirits. Most demons and ghosts are afraid of it, and it can help me a lot. busy."

After explaining, she continued to answer Chi Yan's question.She looked at Chi Yan, and said with some hesitation: "No offense meant, I just want to ask for sure, do you know that you have a lot of evil spirit?"

"Me? Very evil?"

Hu Xing nodded: "You have a strong evil spirit, and it was brought out at birth. If ordinary people carry such a strong evil spirit, they may not be able to bear it, or they will be too hostile and short of blessings, or Misfortunes are frequent and short-lived. But you fit well with that evil spirit, which is also very rare. Those evil spirits will not harm you, but protect you, so that ordinary ghosts and ghosts will not dare to approach you. But also because of these Evil aura is likely to cause you to be noticed by a big demon, and I speculate that this thing is probably the one who noticed you this time."

She looked at Chi Yan with a hint of reassurance: "...That's right, if my guess is right, you should have had contact with that thing that turned into a human being, and you just can't tell the difference. This time You can see those victims, one is because they were all victimized by evil spirits, and they are different from ordinary ghosts; the other is probably because...you have already been selected by that thing, and become the key to finding a host for it. One ring."

Chi Yan felt his scalp go numb, and he couldn't help but jump up!

The figures of the classmates and friends he had been in contact with slipped past his eyes one by one, whether happy or angry, angry or laughing, but he couldn't tell which of them was a human being and which was a murderous monster in human skin.

He tremblingly asked the lady in front of him: "You, do you know who that is?"

Hu Xing shook his head: "I have also been looking for the whereabouts of that thing and researching ways to get rid of it, but it is disguised as a human being and will cover itself with the smell of people around, so it is not easy to find. I can only recognize that thing if I see it myself , now I can only tell you that Yuan Bo is human, you can trust him."

Speaking of this, Hu Xing suddenly thought of a way, and said to Chi Yan: "By the way, we can quietly make an appointment in a public place with a lot of people. You bring the people you have been in contact with recently, and I will secretly observe if there are any of them. monster."

"...Okay." Although thinking that he would still have contact with that monster without knowing it, Chi Yan still complied.

Seeing him like this, Hu Xing felt pity for him, not to mention that he might be able to find important clues from the young man in front of him, so he patted the bag and carried the little black fox out of the bag and handed it to Chi Yan: "What are you doing in the past two days?" Let A Sheng follow you. Although it can't tell who is a demon, but if another victim appears, A Sheng can at least protect you from being harmed by the ghosts they transform into."

Chi Yan is not good at getting along with small animals, but thinking that this little fox can suppress ordinary evil things, he thanked him and took it.

Hu Xing explained some precautions such as feeding, and added with a smile: "A Sheng is a girl, you have to treat it well."

Chi Yan also felt a little relaxed because of this witty remark. Under Hu Xing's guidance, he put A Sheng into his backpack and left a vent for it, and then remembered to exchange contact information with Hu Xing.

After doing all this, he thought for a while and said, "Sister Hu, do you have something to do tonight? I want to ask you to help me see someone first."

Although he didn't think there was anything wrong with Ye Yingzhi, after all, Ye Yingzhi was the person he had been closest to and spent the longest time with recently. It's not the monster pretending to be a human being that can be relieved.

Hu Xing said: "I have something to do tonight. But if you can ask this person out now, I can go directly to have a look."

Chi Yan nodded yes, then sent a message asking where Ye Yingzhi was now, and soon received a reply saying that he was in the library.

Chi Yan sent back a message to ask Ye Yingzhi to wait there, saying that he needed to find him.

But it is not easy to make up an excuse to find the other party in a hurry.Chi Yan thought about it for a while, bought a piece of cake from the bakery next to the hotpot restaurant, packed it up, and then rushed to the school library with Hu Xing.

He and Hu Xing pretended not to know each other and went in one after the other. Hu Xing looked young, so it was not surprising that he pretended to be a student.

According to Ye Yingzhi's message, Chi Yan found him on the second floor of the library, sat down next to him, and saw Hu Xing walking between the two rows of bookshelves behind them pretending to be looking for books.

Ye Yingzhi turned over a page with her head down, and said with a light smile, "What's wrong? Are you looking for me so urgently?"

Chi Yan hesitantly handed over the cake in his hand: "...It's nothing, I just passed by this cake shop after having lunch with Lao Yuan at noon, and remembered that this kind of cake is delicious, so I bought a piece and wanted you to try it... ..." He didn't realize how lame this reason was until the end of the matter, like a fledgling boy chasing his beloved girl jerky.

So he added: "...and I just want to ask where you are going to sleep today, do you want to go back to the dormitory or go home..."

Only then did Ye Yingzhi raise his head to look at him, and said with a smile, "Does it matter where I sleep?"

Chi Yan nodded: "I just want to say that no matter where you go, you will take me with you."

After saying this, he realized that his heart tightened belatedly. Although it was impossible, what if that sister Hu said that Ye Yingzhi had something wrong with him?

Thinking of this, he quietly opened his phone, and saw Hu Xing sent a message 30 seconds ago: "Don't worry, your roommate is just an ordinary person. I don't see anything wrong, so you can get along with peace of mind. I will leave first if I have something to do. See you."
