Demon Book and Strange Essay

On May [-]rd, Shang Yin went to the teahouse to listen to books alone, and at the same time, paid a sum of money for someone to go to Nanjing.

On this day, the "virtual ghost" did not appear.

On May [-]th, Shang Yin still went to the teahouse alone to listen to books.On this day, the "virtual ghost" still did not appear.

On May [-]th, Shang Yin went to the "Shen's Tailor Shop" to ask Shen Lishi to listen to the book. When Shen Lishi stepped forward with a smile, when he heard that Shang Yin asked him to listen to the book, the smile on his face froze, and his eyes flashed A touch of uneasiness.So, he refused and said, "Shang Yin, I have something to do in my store. I really can't leave."

Shang Yin didn't force it either, he said: "I'll come to you tomorrow." After speaking, he left Shen's Tailor.After leaving, he didn't go to the teahouse to listen to the book, but went to the police station to see the "virtual ghost" child whose fingers he cut off and put in prison.

Seeing this dying child, Shang Yin took a puff of cigarette.

"I really think of myself as a human being." Shang Yin said.

The child could barely hold on anymore, he would starve to death after a few days without eating or drinking.It is covered with a layer of black mist, this thin layer of black mist, I believe that after today, it will become heavier tomorrow.Until it completely turns into black mist and disappears, at that time, its life will come to an end.

Looking at the human-like child in front of him, Shang Yin stepped forward.He took out a pocket knife and cut into the child's arm.When I saw black mist flowing out of the child's arm accompanied by black and red blood flowing out.Shang Yin said in his heart: Interesting.

The black-red blood fell to the ground and disappeared into black mist.

This "virtual ghost" seems to have changed.It's just that there is nothing more for him to continue this experiment.

The police chief who saw this scene also felt strange.But monsters are monsters.

The Chief of the Police Department asked Shang Yin: "How to distinguish the 'virtual ghosts' living in Hang County?" He heard the word "virtual ghosts" from Shang Yin.

Shang Yin replied, "You can ask the ghosts and ghosts that live in the city."

The chief of the police department twitched his face, it was like he didn't ask this question.

This city in the south of the Yangtze River was inhabited by monsters and ghosts thousands of years ago, and everyone has lived in peace for thousands of years.No one has pierced the last piece of paper, and if they know it, they regard the demons and ghosts living in the world as strange stories circulating in the streets and alleys.

Well, in Hangzhou, who hasn't seen ghosts and goblins once or twice.

Human beings can't recognize "virtual ghosts" at all, but they can recognize the demons and ghosts hidden in the world and the frightening evil spirits in the dark night.

Today, until Mr. Jiang finished the book, the evil spirits in the book did not appear.After confirming that it was all right, Shang Yin went to the West Lake and rented a boat.The fat chicken flew up and flapped its wings, and the boat headed for the center of West Lake.Sitting on the bow of the boat, Shang Yin took out his cigarette stick and lit it up to smoke.

In West Lake in May, there are more and more people renting boats.Shang Yin looked at the West Lake, thinking about something in his mind.Sitting on the canopy of the boat, Cheng Fu was wearing a bamboo hat, and he stretched out a long fishing rod to catch fish in the West Lake.The fat chicken flew into the West Lake and took a bath while catching fish, scaring away all the fish Cheng Fu wanted to catch.

Cheng Fu, who was fishing on the canopy, asked Shang Yin on the bow, "How do you know that the 'Xu Gui' will not appear today?"

"Guess." Shang Yin took a puff of smoke.Therefore, he didn't ask Yanshi Zhenwo to go shopping in the street to see if the "virtual ghost" would appear.

"Did you find the person behind the 'Xu Gui'?" Cheng Fu asked curiously.

"Not sure yet." Shang Yin said.

"uncertain?"

"Just like the real me in Yanshi, I also have things I don't understand." Shang Yin said.

"What can't be figured out."

"What kind of existence is 'Xu Gui' staying in Hangzhou?" Shang Yin said.

After being quiet for a while, Cheng Fu said: "I don't know what this 'virtual ghost' is. But I know that this Hangzhou will sooner or later become the world of 'virtual ghosts'. Then, people and 'virtual ghosts' The position of 'is reversed, and people become 'virtual ghosts'. Virtual ghosts become real 'human beings'. My senior brother said that if one thing surpasses another in terms of having a huge number, then it is originally on the side of the prey. , will completely become a hunter."

This is very similar to Hankou where he lives.

It's just that hunters are humans with hot weapons.The prey are the monsters and spirits living in Hankou.When one day, this monster surpasses them in number, then, at that time, human beings will become prey.Goblins and goblins become hunters.

This place is different from Hankou. In his place, it is full of hatred and killing between the two ways.The blood that has penetrated deep into the ground cannot be washed away no matter how much you wash it.Hankou has long been reduced to a hell of monsters and ghosts!

Hangzhou is really a peaceful place.Obviously there are a lot of monsters and spirits, but there is no big killing.And this place is full of all kinds of anecdotes and strange things. Even in this West Lake, there are legends about the white snake and the scholar.It seems that the two paths have long been fused together.

"If this is the world of demons, then human beings will become 'monsters'..." Shang Yin lightly exhaled a puff of smoke and chuckled.He continued: "I don't know why the people behind the 'Xu Gui' did this. But now, they seem to know what kind of posture the 'Xu Gui' is in Hangzhou Mansion." This is thanks to Cheng Fu's words .

"What is it?" Cheng Fu asked.

"The 'virtual ghosts' living in Hang County regard themselves as human beings, but the 'virtual ghosts' with tails and blood in the dark night are the 'evil ghosts' in their eyes. Those black hands who frighten children appear in the dark night , it is their 'nightmare'. In this way, real people are replaced by 'virtual ghosts' in human skin. Real ghosts are replaced by 'virtual ghosts' with tails and covered in blood." Shang Yin said.

This time, Cheng Fufan suddenly woke up!

That's why, even though they are "virtual ghosts", they are different.

Because, the person behind the "virtual ghost" wants to create a Hang County that completely replaces the city of humans!In this way, "virtual ghosts" build a world that belongs to them.

In their world, there are "people", "ghosts", and there will be more "demons" in the future.

Only there are no real people and real ghosts and ghosts.Even if there were, real human beings and demons and ghosts would become aliens instead, and become the targets of fearful hunting by "virtual ghosts".

The summer breeze blows, and Shang Yin's shoulders are short.

Cheng Fu didn't catch a single fish.After eating enough fish in the West Lake, Fat Chicken flew back to the boat to shake, shook off all the water from his body, and basked in the sun.

"People are really more complicated than demons and ghosts," Shang Yin said.

"So, this is the real world." Cheng Fu seemed to be laughing, but also disgusted.

"Yes..." Shang Yin let out a puff of smoke.

After spending a day in the West Lake, Cheng Fu finally caught a small fish.He brought the little fish to the fat chicken's beak, and the fat chicken grabbed the little fish and threw it into the West Lake in disgust.

Cheng Fu touched the fat chicken: "You are really a difficult monster."

On May [-]th, Shang Yin continued to go to the "Shen's Tailor Shop" to find Master Shen Li to listen to the book.Master Shen Li still refused on the grounds that the shop was busy.Shang Yin didn't say anything, he said: "I will come to you tomorrow."|

It seems that as long as Master Shen Li refuses to agree for a day, he will come to him every day to listen to the book.

Master Shen Li looked tired.Li Miaoqing saw it.

What happened to Shang Yin and Master Shen Li?If it was before, Master Shen Li would have happily gone to listen to books with Shang Yin.

On this day, the evil spirit in the book that Mr. Jiang mentioned still did not appear.As a result, Hang County began to spread that this evil spirit would never appear again.And when Shang Yin went to the police station to see the "Xugui" child, the black mist that spread around the child became heavier.It has become so weak that it does not respond to the outside world.

"It's dying," said the Superintendent of Police.

"Well, he is dying." Shang Yin replied.

"When it dies, what will it become?"

"It will turn into a black mist and disappear completely."

After questioning and answering, the Chief of Police's face became stiff.

Shang Yin left the police station, Gao Fei who kept Sun Suer following Shang Yin, saw that he was either looking for Shen Lishi or going to the police station these days, which made him wonder if Shang Yin locked Deji in there.

Sun Su'er came back and told him that in the past few days, Shang Yin asked Master Shen Li to listen to the book.But Master Shen Li did not agree.Hearing this, Gao Fei had a weird face: "Master Shen Li, didn't he beg Shang Yin to listen to the book before, but now he doesn't go... What has Master Shen Li been doing these days?"

"Busy at the dress shop." Sun Su'er replied.

Gao Fei felt that Master Shen Li was weird, but it was good to think that he rejected Shang Yin.

"Continue to watch them for me." Gao Fei said.

"Yes, master." Sun Su'er went down.

On May [-]th, Shang Yin still went to the "Shen's Tailor Shop" to find Master Shen Li to listen to the book.Master Shen Li refused with difficulty: "Shang Yin, during this period of time, there are many things in my store, so you should stop looking for me."

After hearing his words, Shang Yin paused.He took a puff of smoke: "I'll come to you tomorrow." After speaking, he left.

Master Shen Li stretched out his hand to stop Shang Yin, but he held back.

Today, the "evil ghost" in Mr. Jiang's book still does not appear.The people in Hang County all said the book Mr. Jiang said, and the ghosts in the book really won't appear again!

After leaving Shen Lishi's place, he went to the police station again.

In the prison of the police department, the chief of the police department is staring at the "virtual ghost" in the skin of a child.

"How is it?" Shang Yin came in and asked.

"Look, it's about to start," said the Commissioner of Police.

Then, they saw the child slowly disappear into black mist.Before the final disappearance, the child reached out to Shang Yin for help——

In the depths of its eyes, there is a desire for survival.

The child died completely, turning into black mist and disappearing.

Just now, the expression on the face of this "virtual ghost" child moved all the policemen present, but did not move the Chief of Police and Shang Yin.

From the late Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China.

The chief of the police department, who has experienced the Revolution of [-], can see more clearly what is real in front of him.

If this child was a child of an ordinary family in their Hangzhou Prefecture, he would be moved.I will use my life to protect it!

But Hang County belongs to them.

This thing, put on the battlefield, is the enemy who takes everything from them!This enemy invades them, replaces them, obliterates them!Thousands of years later, this Hangzhou county only knows "people" in human skin.But I don't know the real Hangzhou people!

It is undeniable that this child who looks exactly like ordinary people is torturing the hearts of everyone present.But he didn't want to kill their children in order to protect the children in human skin!

In the world, that's it.Can't have both.

The ghosts and ghosts who live in seclusion in the world, at least never thought of replacing them!

Shang Yin left the police station.

The next day, May [-]th.Shang Yin stepped into "Shen's Tailor Shop" again.

"Master Shen Li, how about going with me to listen to Mr. Jiang's storytelling." Shang Yin said.

Master Shen Li: "..." He no longer knew how to refuse.

Li Miaoqing took a step forward, Fat Chicken stood in front of Shang Yin, his fur all over his body exploded! "Quack", it threatened to prevent Li Miaoqing from approaching.

Li Miaoqing stopped and did not move forward.

Master Shen Li didn't go to listen to books with him for a day, and Shang Yin went to his shop to look for him every day.

"...Okay." This time, Master Shen Li could no longer avoid it.He knew that as long as he didn't agree for a day.Shang Yin looked for him every day until he agreed.

"Let's go." Shang Yin stepped out of the dress shop, Master Shen Li instructed Li Miaoqing before leaving with Shang Yin.

After leaving the shop, Shang Yin kicked the fat chicken down and said, "Go and walk with Cheng Fu."

"Cuckoo." The fat chicken fell down, and it got up again to walk around the streets and alleys, waiting for the "Xu Gui" to appear.

"Master, Master Shen Li and Shang Yin are going to listen to the book!" Sun Su'er hurried to the restaurant to find Gao Fei who had breakfast.As soon as Gao Fei heard this, he left the restaurant and chased to the teahouse.

Shen Lishi and Shang Yin went to the teahouse again to listen to Mr. Jiang's storytelling.As soon as he sat down, Master Shen Li asked in a low voice: "Shang Yin, why did you ask me to listen to the book?"

Shang Yin turned his head to him and replied: "Oh, I just want to ask you to listen to the book."

This is obviously perfunctory!On the stage, Mr. Jiang started to talk about books, and Master Shen Li's face turned pale.He shifted his gaze to the table, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Shang Yin glanced at the teahouse, and finally set his eyes on Master Shen Li.After Shen Li drank a cup of tea, he kept his head down and didn't stand on the stage or listen to the book.

Master Shen Li knew that Shang Yin was staring at him, and Shang Yin's gaze made his hair stand on end.

"Shang Yin!" After a while, a person came in and sat at their table.

It's Goofy.

Shang Yin ignored Gao Fei.Gao Fei was used to the other party ignoring him, so he said, "The book that Mr. Jiang said, there will be no evil spirits in the future. What's the meaning of this book?"

"Young Master Gao is right. My store has woolen foreign goods and satins that are suitable for merchants. Let's go and see how it goes. I will make you a suit." Shen Lishi stood up and said.

Shang Yin was good-looking, and he believed that Shang Yin would be even more eye-catching if he wore a western suit.

However, Shang Yin grabbed Master Shen Li's hand: "Sit down and finish listening to the book first."

Seeing Shang Yin grabbing Shen Lishi's hand, Gao Fei stood up and put his hand on Shen Lishi's shoulder and pushed him back to his seat: "Shang Yin doesn't care about your western clothes! Listen to books as you like, sit down!"

Master Shen Li's face was ashen. After he sat down, Shang Yin let go of his hand.

Forced to stay in the teahouse, Master Shen Li's face was extremely ugly.

Outside the teahouse, Fat Chicken galloped quickly with its two paws in the bustling streets and alleys of Hang County.Fortunately, Cheng Fu can catch up to its speed, but if this fat chicken gets into the crowd, it will be more difficult to catch up.As a last resort, Cheng Fu jumped onto the roofs of the commercial alleys on both sides and quickly jumped to catch up with the fat chicken.

"Quack!" The fat chicken in front yelled!

"Ah—the evil spirit! The evil spirit has appeared again!" A strange cry of fear came from the front.For a moment, the crowd in the commercial alley rushed to flee.

"Quack!" The fat chicken screamed strangely.

After seeing the evil spirit that appeared in front of him clearly, the spell in Cheng Fu's hand flew out of his hand like a sharp knife and chopped the evil spirit that was about to kill in front into pieces. The evil spirit then turned into black mist and dispersed.

I found the evil ghost in Mr. Jiang's book, and finally destroyed it before it hurt anyone.Cheng Fu only felt his head sink, and the fat chicken flew up and squatted on his head.

"Cuckoo." Fat Chicken said, "Go to Shang Yin." "Go to Shang Yin."

So, Cheng Fu looked for Shang Yin who was told in the book with the fat chicken on his head.

teahouse.

"Mr. Jiang's book, the evil spirit appeared again!" Another person ran in and shouted loudly.

There was an uproar in the teahouse!

Didn't it mean that the evil spirits won't appear again, why did they still appear!

Shang Yin looked at Shen Lishi, and saw Shen Lishi's face was ashen.

"Let's go back." Shang Yin stood up and said.

Master Shen Li followed Shang Yin to stand up, Gao Fei looked at the backs of the two people, feeling very happy.After leaving the teahouse, Master Shen Li was no longer in the mood to walk with Shang Yin, so he said goodbye and went back alone.

"Hey!" Cheng Fu greeted Shang Yin with a fat chicken on his head not far from the teahouse.

"Did 'Xu Gui' appear again?" Shang Yin stepped forward and asked.

"Yes." Cheng Fu said.

"Tell me."

"The face is distorted and looks unformed." Cheng Fu replied.

Same as that day.

In return, Shang Yin invited Cheng Fu to dinner.

In the evening, Cheng Fu followed Fat Chicken to see the situation at the home of the "Xu Gui" child who died yesterday.

"It appeared again." Looking at the brightly lit house from the top of the wall.

Still a family of three, a newly born "virtual ghost".This time, Shang Yin did not kill them, nor did he tell the police.Because there will be evil spirits dragging them out to slaughter.

The evil spirits that appear at night are born of human beings.Hang County without people, when the time comes, they will disappear.

On May [-]th, Shang Yin did not ask Master Shen Li to listen to the book.The man sent to Nanking has returned with some news for him.After that, he went to the police station to inquire about Bishu's death.

On May [-]th, Shang Yin asked Master Shen Li to tell a story, and he asked Yanshi Zhenwo to go down the mountain with a fat chicken.

In these two days, Master Shen Li looked very haggard, and Li Miaoqing's complexion was not very good-looking either.But these have nothing to do with Shang Yin.After he entered the store, he said, "Master Shen Li, let's go listen to the book."

Master Shen Li lowered his face: "Shang Yin, what exactly do you mean?"

Shang Yin replied, "Nothing interesting."

"No." Master Shen Li said.

"The last time. In the future, I won't ask you to listen to books again." Shang Yin said.

Master Shen Li's face was as gloomy as ink.

Shang Yin sneered, and stopped pressing.Just when he was about to leave, Master Shen Li said, "I'll go!"

So, Lishi Shen and Shang Yin went to the teahouse again to listen to Mr. Jiang's storytelling.

Today, the "virtual ghost" reappeared in Hang County, Yanshi Zhenwo and the fat chicken Cheng Fu broke up the "virtual ghost".When Shang Yin found Yanshi Zhenwo and the others, Yanshi Zhenwo asked: "Has the test yielded results?"

"Well, it's been tested." After Shang Yin finished speaking, he remembered that when he was listening to the book in the teahouse just now, Master Shen Li listened very carefully.It's completely different from the previous two times when I avoided hearing it.

"How about the 'virtual ghost' that appeared today." Shang Yin asked.

"It's exactly the same as the evil spirit in Mr. Jiang's book." Cheng Fu said for the invisible Yanshi Zhenwo.

Shang Yin smiled, and the smile didn't reach his eyes.

During this time, Gao Fei who made Sun Suer stare at Shang Yin and the others finally came to his senses.Shang Yin asked Master Shen Li to listen to the book, probably there is something in it.Thinking that Shang Yin suspected Master Shen Li, Gao Fei felt happy.

"Get out of Hangzhou Mansion early!" Gao Fei said.

But what he never expected was that before he waited for Shen Lishi to leave Hangzhou County, something happened that almost ruined his reputation!
