Phaseless Demon

This person, he should be dead...

Zhu Zhi took a step back in horror, trembling all over, staring at the man in front of him.The man was also staring at Zhu Zhi intently, after a while, the man suddenly smiled and said in an ethereal and inexplicable voice: "I remember you."

Even though it was such a simple sentence, Zhu Zhi was filled with panic. Zhu Zhi's face turned livid, and he took another step back, trying to stay away from this man.At this moment, a nurse pushing a trolley passed by in the aisle next to him. Seeing Zhu Zhi, the nurse shouted at Zhu Zhi, "Doctor Zhu, what are you doing here?"

Seeing the nurse, Zhu Zhi seemed to be grabbing a life-saving straw. He quickly stepped forward and grabbed the nurse's arm, and pointed to the bloody man sitting on the chair next to him. He asked the nurse, "Xiao Le , can you see him!?"

The nurse called Xiao Le looked at Zhu Zhi's finger, thinking that Zhu Zhi was joking, and said with a smile: "Doctor Zhu, don't make fun of me, there is nothing there!"

"Impossible! That man... that man, he's sitting there, don't you see?" Zhu Zhi trembled when he spoke, his face turned from livid to pale, and his head was sweating profusely.

Maybe seeing that his complexion is really bad, Xiao Le worried: "Doctor, are you too tired? Or is there something uncomfortable? Why don't you ask the director for a leave? You are really too busy recently."

"No... I don't need to ask for leave!" Zhu Zhi's tone became irritable, and his voice was raised in vain, which startled Xiao Le. Xiao Le thought about it and asked, "Doctor, what's wrong with you?"

Zhu Zhi shook his head vigorously, he staggered and took two steps to the side, then ran straight to the other end of the corridor, ignoring the call of the nurse named Xiao Le behind him, he ran forward desperately, he felt that he must be Something was wrong, or someone was joking with him.

After all... there are no ghosts in this world!

Zhu Zhi rushed forward all the way, rushed up the stairs to the hospital lobby, bumped and ran in a panic along the way, bumped into many passers-by, and attracted all kinds of curses.

Zhu Zhi was unable to take care of it. When he walked to the hospital lobby, he saw many pedestrians coming and going in the lobby.

But it seems there are more ghosts too.

Those ghosts are actually easy to distinguish under the light, they have no shadows, their feet do not touch the ground, their bodies are transparent and hazy, and most importantly, most of them maintain the appearance of death, or flesh and blood Blurred, or stumped limbs and broken arms, they are so conspicuous that they can be distinguished in the crowd at a glance.

Zhu Zhi stood in the hall and rubbed his eyes vigorously, but no matter how much he rubbed, those ghosts did not disappear, they were still in front of his eyes, beside him, wandering around him or making strange noises.The others didn't say anything about it, only Zhu Zhi could see those ghosts, which filled him with horror.

"What's going on...Did I see a ghost? It's impossible, there must be something wrong..." Zhu Zhi tried to calm himself down, knowing that this might not be a simple hallucination or dream, he pinched his cheek and then Feeling the pain, he knew that his brain was awake now, more awake than ever.

Then he suddenly thought of his younger sister Zhu Shuyi, and the spell that the younger sister dropped when she left.

Zhu Zhi reached into his pocket and touched the yellow talisman in his pocket. His fingers touched the talisman paper. The paper was a little rough and thin, and it seemed to have a strange temperature on it, and then Zhu Zhi Zhi thought to himself: No way?

Could it be that this yellow talisman is real... really effective?

Can I see ghosts?

But how can there be such a bizarre thing in this world...

Zhu Zhi raised his head and looked at all kinds of souls floating around in the hospital hall. There were a large number of them, some wandered in place, some stood still in the corner, some could be seen clearly, and some were so blurred that there was only a faint white figure .

There are really ghosts in this world!

Zhu Zhi felt as if he had opened the door to a new world.

Standing foolishly in the hospital lobby for a long time, passers-by passing by Zhu Zhi would occasionally look at him curiously, and the onlookers were a little surprised, what's wrong with this doctor, he just stood there motionless, Isn't it stupid?

Only Zhu Zhi knew that there were turbulent waves rolling in his heart.

Just when Zhu Zhi was distracted, an unexpected moment happened.

Zhu Zhi suddenly found that these messy and numerous ghosts in the hall seemed to be in a collective commotion. They all scattered like birds and beasts, and some even made strange screams. They scattered and drifted towards the dark corner , Disappeared into the darkness one by one, not knowing where to hide.

The appearance of these ghosts looks like they are running for their lives, hiding from something.

Then Zhu Zhi saw a ghost with black air floating down from the stairs behind him, and the appearance of this ghost was quite familiar to Zhu Zhi.

Isn't it the vicious case that happened in Xikou Hospital a few days ago, the murderer who made trouble in the hospital with a gun?

That incident caused a big commotion. Two days later, doctors, nurses and patients in the hospital were still talking about it, but the culprit of the incident had already been shot dead by the police on the spot.

The murderer was shot in the head by the police, and his body is still temporarily placed in the morgue of the hospital, waiting for the forensic autopsy and verification. Zhu Zhi and his colleagues secretly went to the morgue yesterday out of curiosity. The body of the notorious murderer.

Unexpectedly, the next day, he saw the murderer's ghost appear in the hospital lobby!

Maybe he noticed Zhu Zhi's gaze, the murderer over there turned his head to look at Zhu Zhi, Zhu Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned his head away to pretend that he didn't see him.Zhu Zhi's heart was pounding and his breathing quickened. He squeezed the yellow talisman in his pocket tightly, pretended to be calm, and then walked to the edge of the rows of public seats in the hospital hall, and found a place to sit down.

I have to throw away this yellow talisman, or tear it up.

Zhu Zhi thought, if it was because of this yellow talisman that he saw the ghost, then tearing off the yellow talisman should be all right.

Thinking of this, Zhu Zhi naturally took out the talisman paper in his pocket, and pinched it with both hands to tear it open.

But the bad thing is...

"Can't it be torn apart?" Zhu Zhi tried it several times. The material of this talisman paper is so good, it's amazing! ?Obviously there is only such a thin sheet, and its texture feels the same as ordinary white paper, but it can't be torn. Zhu Zhi pulled it left and right, and the yellow talisman was crumpled by him, but it was still intact. .

Zhu Zhi said to himself: "Let's throw it away..."

He looked left and right, looking for the trash can, but when he raised his head, he realized that the ghost of the murderer had drifted to his side before he knew it.

The black mist was agitating just a short distance away from Zhu Zhi, and Zhu Zhi even saw that his arm was submerged by the black mist. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect or what, Zhu Zhi felt that his arm was covered by the black mist. The places contaminated by the black mist were very cold, as if the hands had been soaked in ice water full of ice cubes, and they felt numb after soaking for a long time.

Zhu Zhi didn't dare to look at the scary ghost beside him. He tried to take a deep breath to calm himself down. Even if this yellow talisman could make him see a ghost, it didn't matter. Ghosts couldn't hurt him anyway. Ghosts are nothing, even if they really exist. It's just some intangible energy.

So, as long as Zhu Zhi pretended not to see it, everything will be fine.

Zhu Zhi swallowed his saliva, he wanted to stand up, then calmly found a trash can, and threw away the hot yellow talisman in his hand, but just when he planned to get up, the ghost of the murderer beside him seemed to be planning to get up. The idea was that he didn't want to make him feel better, so he floated directly in front of Zhu Zhi, face to face, and was very close to him.

The murderer was shot in the head by the police on the left side. The bullet entered his left temple and came out from the right side. Because of the huge impact caused by the bullet's spin, the murderer's right head burst into a huge hole. pit.Blood and brain matter flowed all over his right cheek, and his right eye seemed to be affected, so it was filled with blood. He stared at Zhu Zhi closely with his only left eye, as if he was observing him.

The murderer had just died two or three days ago, and his soul was not particularly transparent. Zhu Zhi wanted to ignore him and pretend that he hadn't seen anything at all, but it was impossible.The murderer was too close, and the black energy on his body was entangled everywhere, and Zhu Zhi couldn't ignore it.

Perhaps it was also because he realized that Zhu Zhi could indeed see him, the murderer smiled grimly at Zhu Zhi, and made a hoarse sound from his throat. It can be said that the hand of the "black hand" touched Zhu Zhi...

However, Zhu Zhi was not stupid, he had an idea at this moment, let go of the yellow talisman he was holding, and let the talisman fall to the ground naturally.

The moment his hand left the yellow talisman, the murderer in front of him disappeared.

Not only the murderer disappeared, but also the other ghosts in the hospital hall. Zhu Zhi felt the heavy and oppressive surroundings, as if the gray-black atmosphere spread away from him at once, and the whole hospital hall became brighter. The noise of the crowd also gradually poured into Zhu Zhi's ears, making Zhu Zhi feel the beauty of this world like never before.

Then Zhu Zhi's body became limp in an instant, and he sat limply on the chair, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, but the heart in his chest was still beating crazily, and the sound of the heartbeat was so loud that it was as loud as his ear. Thunder generally resounded.

After a long time, Zhu Zhi, who almost came back to his senses, finally thought of the yellow talisman he threw on the ground. The effect of this thing was so good that it was scary. Zhu Zhi never expected that Zhu Shuyi was really not lying at all He, these so-called gods and gods are real!

Although Zhu Zhi was somewhat unacceptable.

In fact, no one can accept it in a short while. Zhu Zhi has lived for more than 30 years and has been growing up in an excellent educational environment. He believes in science and pursues rationality. He never believes in the superstitions of the older generation. , never believed that there were any monsters and ghosts in this world, his belief has been persisted until today, but was broken by a small talisman.

----

Later, Zhu Zhi sat on the chair and thought for a long time, but he still couldn't let go of his mind.

The effect of this broken talisman paper is too good. If you throw it anywhere, it would be bad for someone who doesn't know where to pick it up. So after thinking about it, Zhu Zhi wanted to bend down to pick it up. In the case of ghosts floating around, just call Zhu Shuyi and ask her to take the talisman away.

Having made up his mind, Zhu Zhi lowered his head again, looking for the talisman paper he had just dropped all over the floor, but one wave after another, Zhu Zhi squatted there and looked under the chair for a long time, but he didn't see his yellow talisman paper Where did it go.

Strange, it shouldn't be too far away.

At that time, Zhu Zhi just threw the talisman paper lightly to his side. It is impossible for the paper to float far away, and there is no one else in the seat next to him, so it is impossible for someone to pick it up so quickly.

Zhu Zhi, who was squatting next to the seat and looking left and right, suddenly saw a rabbit puppet under the public seat in the back row.

That's right, it's a rabbit puppet, a small rabbit puppet, pink, wearing a red flower skirt, and has two big long pink ears.

When Zhu Zhi squinted his eyes and looked carefully, he would find that his evil yellow talisman paper was stuck on the body of the rabbit puppet!

Zhu Zhi didn't have time to think about how his talisman paper floated on a rabbit puppet, and he didn't have time to think about why a rabbit puppet was placed under the chair of the public seat. Maybe a child fell down, but now he just wants to Retrieve your talisman paper.

So he walked around a row of seats, walked to the middle of the back seat, and squatted down to pick up the stuffed rabbit under the chair.

After touching it with his hands for a long time, Zhu Zhi couldn't find anything. He bent down and looked under the chair again, only to find that the rabbit puppet...

Does it move by itself? ?

Zhu Zhi discovered that the position of the rabbit puppet had changed!Just now he clearly saw that the position of the puppet was under this chair, but now he found that the position of the puppet had changed, and at some point it moved to the side of the potted plant beside the public seat!

Zhu Zhi felt a little confused, he accepted the fact that a piece of talisman paper could let him see ghosts, but what the hell is a rabbit puppet that can move by itself! ?

Zhu Zhi stood up and walked towards the potted plant next to the seat, but when he walked over, he found that the position of the puppet had changed again, and somehow moved to a farther place, and ran to the corner of the hospital hall In front of the grooming mirror placed inside.

Zhu Zhi was probably competing with the puppet, he stared at the puppet intently, and strode towards it, and then something even more miraculous happened, Zhu Zhi saw the puppet rabbit stand up with his own eyes!

Yes!It stands up!

It was obviously so soft and full of cotton cloth body, but he insisted on standing up, staggered and lay on the mirror surface of the grooming mirror, and patted the mirror surface with his paw ridiculously, just after it patted the mirror surface , the mirror seemed to be a door, and then the puppet climbed in!It was as if it had fallen into a pool of water. When it entered, ripples like water ripples appeared on the mirror.

Zhu Zhi quickened his pace and rushed to the grooming mirror. When he took a closer look, he felt that there was nothing unusual about the mirror. Although it was a large mirror, it was old, and the frame and mirror surface looked Somewhat dated, with some scratches visible.

Zhu Zhi has been working in Xikou Hospital for several years, but he doesn't know anything about the mirror placed in the corner of the hospital hall. He remembers asking the director of the hospital before, and the director said so of:

"You mean that mirror? I don't know, and I don't know where it came from... But, I seem to have heard someone say that the mirror was placed there by the director of our hospital. The director knew him when he was young. I met a group of strange friends. They said that they were going to travel far away. They couldn’t take the mirror away, so they asked the dean to keep it for them. But there was no place to put such a large mirror, so they just put it at the entrance of the hospital. The corner is used as a grooming mirror."

Zhu Zhi stretched out his hands to touch the mirror. The mirror was very cold, but the reflection was very clear, and it could illuminate the entire hospital hall. He just clearly saw the rabbit puppet enter the mirror. Could it be His delusion?Or is it some sequelae left by the talisman paper?

"Do you want to come in?" A voice suddenly rang in Zhu Zhi's ear.

Zhu Zhi was taken aback and looked around: "Who?"

No one answered him, but it was because his weird behavior of lying on the mirror and dancing with hands and feet attracted many people around him to point and point.

"Doctor Zhu! What are you doing here?" At this time, Xiao Le, the nurse who had just talked to Zhu Zhi, came over and saw Zhu Zhi acting strangely on the grooming mirror. At that time, she was angry and funny, because Just now when Zhu Zhi was talking to her, his face was very bad, and he ran away for no reason. Xiao Le thought that something happened to him, and worried about Zhu Zhi for a long time. Now he saw Zhu Zhi lying on the mirror, and there were still people gathered There were many onlookers, so she wanted to step forward and pull Zhu Zhi back.

But just when she stepped forward and grabbed Zhu Zhi's arm, Zhu Zhi suddenly went limp and lay down on the ground.

Xiao Le suddenly felt that this scene was a bit familiar. She remembered that not long ago, there was also... It seemed that a family member of a certain patient was also dancing in front of this mirror. It was lying on the ground like this.

Xiao Le sincerely hoped that such a thing would not happen a third time.

……

He Qianjue knelt down, hugged Han Chan in his arms with one hand, and poked Zhu Zhi's cheek lying on the ground with the other.

Zhu Zhi, who was awakened by the poke, opened his eyes. The first thing he saw was the familiar ceiling in the hospital lobby, and the second thing he saw was a long-haired handsome man in a dark blue ancient robe sitting kneeling next to him.

"Are you awake?" He Qianjue moved his face closer to Zhu Zhi, so frightened that Zhu Zhi sat up in vain, but He Qianjue was very sensitive, and he didn't bump his head.

"Who are you?" Zhu Zhi sat up straight and moved back, but his back was leaning against the mirror behind him. He looked around and found that he was still in the hospital hall, but this hall looked a bit strange, because there was only Zhu Zhi in the hall. There was no one there except Zhihe, a man in ancient costume, and the layout looked a bit weird.

He Qianjue didn't leave him much time to continue looking around, politely reached out his hand as a gesture of shaking hands, and said, "My name is He Qianjue, nice to meet you."

Seeing that he wanted to shake hands, Zhu Zhi subconsciously reached out to shake hands with He Qianjue. After the handshake was over, he felt weird: "Where is this?"

"Inside the mirror." He Qianjue smiled.

Unable to think about what the other party meant by "inside the mirror", Zhu Zhi shifted his gaze to the rabbit doll He Qianjue was holding in his arms. It was this moving doll that attracted him. By the way... that doll He still has his talisman on his body!

Zhu Zhi carefully observed the rabbit puppet in He Qianjue's arms, and he saw the talisman paper on the puppet's body, so he said to He Qianjue, "That...is that your puppet in your arms?"

"Yes." He Qianjue said, "His name is Han Chan."

Zhu Zhi felt that the man in ancient costume had some brain problems, but as a doctor, Zhu Zhi didn't show it, but said calmly: "There is a piece of paper on your puppet. It belongs to me. Can you return it to me?"

"You mean this?" He Qianjue picked up the rabbit in his arms, tore off the yellow talisman paper from it, and asked Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi nodded hurriedly: "Yes, that's the one! Can you return it to me?"

"Are you sure you want this back?" He Qianjue squinted at Zhu Zhi, smiling sinisterly and weirdly.

"It's mine, of course I want to get it back." Zhu Zhi felt that this strange man gave him goosebumps, but when Zhu Zhi looked carefully, he found that He Qianjue was very clear, not like a ghost It was vague, so he thought that He Qianjue was at least a living person.

A living person dressed in ancient costumes, who looks beautiful but behaves strangely.

"I don't suggest you take this away." He Qianjue shook the yellow talisman paper in his hand, and said to Zhu Zhi seriously, "This kind of talisman paper is not used by ascetics, because the talisman on the talisman paper is It was written in the spell of the demon clan, so it should be regarded as a demon talisman."

"It is very different from the ascetic's spell. Although it also has the functions of attack, protection, and assistance, if humans use it casually, it will cause some damage to you."

Zhu Zhi couldn't understand what He Qianjue said, but also through He Qianjue's words, Zhu Zhi realized that the strange costumed man in front of him was not as simple as he thought.

"Who are you?" Zhu Zhi couldn't help but asked again.

"I'm He Qianjue." He Qianjue replied with a smile.

Zhu Zhi said: "I'm not asking for your name, I want to know who you are and what do you do?"

He Qianjue tilted his head, seemed to think for a moment, and said back, "I'm a monster, so are you satisfied?"

Zhu Zhi rubbed his temples, and said to himself: "I'm so tired, I'm hallucinating, all of this is hallucination, yes! It's all hallucination!"

"Do you have a younger sister named Zhu Shuyi?" He Qianjue held the rabbit puppet in his arms and looked Zhu Zhi up and down, completely ignoring his self-hypnosis, still narrowing his eyes and smiling: "Is she still there?" Recognized a master named Yan Snake?"

What He Qianjue said made Zhu Zhi recover from self-hypnosis, and he looked at He Qianjue suspiciously and vigilantly: "How do you know this?"

"Not only do I know this." He Qianjue smiled happily: "I also know how your parents died."

Zhu Zhi was even more baffled, doubts mixed with panic, he stared at He Qianjue: "What do you mean?"
