The Taste of Ghosts in the World

The next day was Saturday, Qi Mu slept late, and when he woke up, only Dahei was left in the living room.

Sitting on the sofa with half-open eyes, he turned on the TV, which happened to be a news channel, broadcasting news 24 hours a day.Because the frequency was too high, in order to make up enough time for the program, the same news was repeatedly broadcast and the small things about sesame and mung beans were also added to the broadcast. After watching it for a while, Qi Mu fell asleep again.

At this time, a piece of murder news was broadcast, which was a follow-up report on the headless female corpse a few days ago, and Qi Mu focused a little bit.

"The case of the headless female corpse discovered in Longhu Square has made a breakthrough, and the identity of the victim has been confirmed. She is a pioneer reporter of a certain newspaper and is well-known in the industry for her meticulous spirit of inquiry and pungent manuscript style. He had several illegal and criminal activities, and was intimidated and threatened many times during his lifetime. At present, the police have identified the suspect and are conducting further investigations..."

Then, a photo of the victim was released on the screen, a very young and energetic girl.

Just about to say a few words of emotion, I suddenly heard the startled voice of the dead ghost: "This...isn't this my daughter?!"

Qi Mu was taken aback, only to realize that he had come back at some point.

"You said this is your daughter?" Qi Mu turned his head to look at the TV, then turned back stiffly, and cast his gaze at the headless female ghost next to him with the hitman, "That is to say...she is your daughter?"

"She, she, she..." The dead ghost suddenly became at a loss, turned around a few times, and suddenly floated into the room.

Qi Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry on the spot, he didn't know whether to say "God's will tricks people" or "fate", the world seems to like to make people jump quietly like this.

Then his next reaction was - don't call the police...

Balancing the two, Qi Mu felt that the headless young girl in the living room needed comfort more than the headless young girl in the living room.

So he got up and walked into the room, the dead ghost was facing the corner and kept floating up and down, saying that he wanted to comfort him, but at this moment he didn't know what to say, hesitated for a long time, Qi Mu could only stand quietly by the side.

Probably because he calmed down, the dead ghost discovered Qi Mu's existence. He stayed for a while, and said slowly: "It's okay, I just can't react. If I hadn't, I wouldn't want to live if I knew my daughter was dead, but now I have been dead for such a long time, and many things have been taken away. It's okay, our father and daughter can still be reunited."

Qi Mu felt that it was not right to say anything at this time, so he could only tell him: "Since the police have locked down the suspect, they will be able to solve the case quickly. As long as they are caught, they will be able to find your daughter's head."

"Yes, yes, yes..." The Killer nodded again and again, then rubbed his hands and said, "I just said that she looks familiar, so she is really my daughter."

After the initial shock was over, there was only the joy of reunion between father and daughter. The dead ghost circled around his daughter excitedly, but the latter didn't respond.

A few days later, there was a new report that the police had caught a suspect. After interrogation, they learned that the crime was committed by a gang.

But the dead ghost saw the face of the suspect in the news, and immediately yelled, "That's him! He was the one who bumped into me a year ago!"

Qi Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "You want to take revenge?"

The dead ghost said: "Forget it, he has been arrested, and now I just want to find my daughter's head."

Qi Mu absently glanced at the TV screen. This man killed someone a year ago, and the criminal gang he belonged to killed his daughter a year later. If the extremely cruel way of beheading is not for venting anger, it is purely psychological. abnormal.

Is it really just a coincidence that both father and daughter died at the hands of the same gang?

Although it looks like nothing on the surface, Qi Mu always feels that things are not that simple.

At night, the dead ghost brought his daughter to ask Qi Mu for help.

"Look for a head? Where can I find it? Doesn't she remember nothing?"

The ghost who killed me stammered and said: "Seeing the person who killed me, I remembered something... That night I went to the warehouse to pick up the goods, but because of the traffic jam, I arrived half an hour later than usual. I went in and saw A few people were talking, and that person was among them... I was afraid that I would be scolded by the boss for taking it late, so I quickly packed up the goods and left, but I was hit and killed by that person while I was still on the way..."

"You mean, those people in the warehouse may be his accomplices?"

"That's right... I just thought... can I go to that warehouse again, maybe I can find someone..."

"It's been a year. If I were a criminal gang, I would have changed my den."

"I... just want to see if my daughter's head is there..."

After thinking for a long time, Qi Mu finally turned off the computer, took out a backpack, filled it with a camera, gloves and a butterfly knife, and put the tear gas spray from the bookshelf into it. After hesitating for a while, he put on a hat and a mask.

Then he took his wallet, mobile phone and keys, opened the door and went out.

The dead ghost followed behind in surprise and said: "Are you really going? If you don't want to go, I can go with my daughter."

Qi Mu said angrily, "Even if you know where the head is, can you pick it up?"

"Hey, I knew you were a good guy!"

"No, I just want to get rid of the trouble sooner."

Under the guidance of the dead ghost, Qi Mu made several bus transfers before arriving at the warehouse he mentioned. The warehouse was built in the outskirts. Looking at the desolate surroundings, Qi Mu couldn't help but worry about whether there would be a car to go back later. .

Approaching the warehouse, the door was closed tightly, but there was a dim light from under the door.

someone.

Qi Mu carefully took out his hat and mask and put the knife in his palm, then pointed at the warehouse door to the dead ghost, beckoning him to go in and have a look.

The dead ghost floated in, and soon floated out, whispering: "There are four people, two are familiar, and the other two are not."

Qi Mu slandered, why are you a ghost imitating people to speak in a low voice, is it interesting?But he didn't dare to make a sound, and began to nervously think about what to do next.

At this time, the dead ghost let out a "huh" and asked, "Where is my daughter?"

Qi Mu raised his eyes to search, and saw the headless female ghost standing fixedly on the deserted land not far away, and the dead ghost went to pull her, but did not pull her.

So he floated back and said to Qi Mu: "Something's wrong, my daughter is usually quite obedient, is she tired?"

……

Qi Mu didn't bother to pay attention to him, and went straight to the female ghost, pointing to the pen and paper she had been holding in her hand.

The female ghost wrote down in a hurry: head.

"it's here?"

This time she didn't write, just squatted down and started digging the soil, but her hand went straight through the soil.

Qi Mu asked her to get up, looked around, and found a shovel next to the warehouse, carried it back and aimed at the spot just now.

After digging for a while, a stench mixed with earthy smell began to emanate from the dug hole. Qi Mu took a small breath and continued digging, finally digging out a black, round thing.

After just one glance, Qi Mu took a step back. Most of the head had been rotten, covered with a lot of mud, and the messy black hair was glued to it.

Qi Mu put on his gloves, frowned and asked the bumper: "Do you want to take it back?"

The dead ghost shook his hand and said: "No need, the soul of the first girl will be complete after finding the head girl."

Sure enough, the headless female ghost held a head at some point in her hand.

Qi Mu breathed a sigh of relief, took out his camera to take a few pictures of the dug-out head, and took pictures of the exterior of the warehouse before he packed up his things and left quietly.

Looking at the time, it was a quarter past twelve, the last train left long ago, Qi Mu could only resign himself to walking to the city on two legs.

The suburbs in the middle of the night are so empty that there is no one there. Although you can hear unknown bugs, it doesn't make you feel at ease.Qi Mu remembered that there was a burial cemetery nearby that hadn't been planned yet, and hoped not to encounter anything that shouldn't be touched.

Cautiously walking through the path in the middle of the cemetery, I suddenly heard someone shouting: "Hey! What are you doing in such a place in the middle of the night?"

Qi Mu looked up, and saw a boy standing beside the grave mound obliquely in front, wearing a loose tracksuit, staring at him with raised eyebrows.

"Uh..." After hesitating what to say, Qi Mu decided to retreat and advance after finding that no matter what he said was far-fetched.

"Aren't you also in the cemetery in the middle of the night? What are you doing here?"

The boy in the sportswear was obviously annoyed, and then he raised his voice and shouted: "It's none of your business! This is a cemetery, you'd better leave as soon as possible, or you won't have time to cry for your life by the evil spirits."

"Okay, thank you for your concern."

Needless to say, Qi Mu didn't want to stay here any longer, so he hurried forward after speaking.

"Wait a minute!" The boy in the sportswear stopped him again.

"What?"

"Although you can't see it, I have the responsibility to remind you that there are two ghosts around you, and they are all wronged souls who died abnormally. One of them is a woman whose head was beheaded. This kind of ghost is the most dangerous. You may die without knowing it. Will be killed by them." The sportswear boy said seriously.

Qi Mu's heart sank suddenly, and he quickly put on an expression of fear and curiosity, "Really? Why can't I see it?" He winked at the dead ghosts, who could see them, so that He hurried away with his daughter.

"Ordinary people can't see it, only we can see it."

Out of the corner of his eyes, Qi Mu caught sight of the disappearing figures of the Killing Ghosts and the others, and asked calmly, "Are you a celestial master? Or a Taoist priest?"

"It's a celestial master, anyway, it's exorcising ghosts... oops! Oops!" The boy in the sportswear finally realized that the two ghosts were gone, and rushed over shouting.

"Run to the city! Don't look back! I'll clean them up!"

The boy took out two talisman papers from his sleeve.

"Then be careful yourself." Qi Mu left this sentence and ran forward without looking back.

It wasn't until the lights became brighter and there were more and more vehicles on the road that Qi Mu stopped panting, and the dead ghost and the female ghost slowly appeared beside him, patting his chest with lingering fear.

"Oh my god, I haven't met a celestial master for a long time! It's so dangerous!"

"You were not caught?" Qi Mu stretched out his hand to take a taxi.

The dead ghost said proudly: "The little boy has some skills, but he is still too tender, he can't catch us alone."

After finally waiting for a taxi, it was already two o'clock in the morning when he got home. Qi Mu anonymously sent the photos he took and the warehouse address to the mailbox of the Public Security Bureau, and fell asleep as soon as he fell on the bed.

"Get up quickly, it's late... Hey... get up..."

An annoying voice kept making noise next to his ears, Qi Mu turned over, turned on the cell phone next to the pillow and took a look, it was 10 minutes before the alarm time.

very precious.

So put away the phone and continue to sleep.

The voice sounded again, "How can you sleep so well?! It's time to get up!"

whose voice?so strange...

After lying down for several seconds, Qi Mu suddenly realized what was wrong, and sat up abruptly to look to the side. The headless female ghost was standing beside the bed, because the effect of the spell was not too close, and her hand was still carrying something...

Before he could see clearly, the thing actually spoke by itself: "You are finally willing to get up, aren't you afraid of being late?"

Qi Mu mustered his attention, and found that it was a human head hanging in mid-air, the eyes on the head were looking straight at him, and the mouth was still opening and closing to speak.

He should be thankful that the head remained the same as it was when it was cut off, and there was nothing more uncomfortable than blood stains.

Suppressing the chill in his heart, Qi Mu said to her, "Take your head away."

The female ghost withdrew her hand in disappointment.

"Can't you put it in its normal place?"

"You say so?" The female ghost put her head on the severed neck. Qi Mu just wanted to nod when she heard the female ghost say, "This will fall off." Then she stretched out her hand and pushed lightly, and the head fell off.

Qi Mu watched silently as she picked up the head from the ground and put it back in her arms.

Then Qi Mu soon began to regret why he helped her get her head back, because her mouth never stopped during the whole process from getting up to going out.

In addition to the father who killed the ghost in the living room, Qi Mu felt his temples throbbing, and finally saw what "noisy" is. He thought very unkindly, the reason why those people killed the two father and daughter was half possible It's because it's too noisy.

Fortunately, the father and daughter are busy with their reunion, so Qi Mu can have a quiet day of class alone.
