ghost stories

When Meng Fanyu received the call from Lu Yuan, he was lying on the sofa watching TV. When he heard the word "Bie Ling", the cigarette in his hand fell to the ground.

"Bound spirit?" He reached out to pick up the cigarette and put it back to his mouth.

"You don't know?" Lu Yuan's tone sounded a little disappointed.

"It's not that I don't know," Meng Fanyu turned down the volume of the TV. "I don't know much. There are very few materials, a small amount of folklore, and basically no written materials."

"Have you seen my pendant, does it have anything to do with binding spirits?" Lu Yuan asked.

This question made Meng Fanyu's hands tremble a little, did you finally notice it... Things changed so fast, which surprised him a bit, if Lu Yuan kept entangled in this matter, the result would be a bit unpredictable.

"Is that the yellow pendant you always wear?" Meng Fanyu sat up from the sofa, how should he answer this question?

"A colleague of mine from the physical evidence department said that someone told him that this pendant is used for binding spirits or something. You have read Jiayin's diary and mentioned that the 'it' asked her to exchange something of mine. I think If there is anything in this pendant..."

For the sake of Lu Yuan's words, Meng Fanyu also knew that he was not simply interested in this pendant, he had a clear idea, and he would check it out if he didn't say anything.

"If the pendant is a spirit-binding bottle, haunting Xu Jiayin's ghost, it must be what you want," Meng Fanyu took over the conversation, and replied briefly, "but can you be sure that your pendant is?"

"They looked at the photo and said it was quite similar to what was described in the rumors. I have no other clues. This is the only thing I have, and there may be no second one. What else can you say? Watches, mobile phones, clothes and pants? You don’t want as many as you want,” Lu Yuan sighed, and added a little depressed, “I’m so busy that I haven’t had time to wash last week’s dirty clothes. I really want to give them all. It got it."

"Whether it's true or not, how are you going to prove it?" Meng Fanyu thought for a while, then pinched out his cigarette and asked.

"I want to find out how this thing came about, I mean... go back."

Meng Fanyu was silent, and it took a while before he spoke: "Is the house demolished?"

"I don't know, it should be an old house in the country, maybe it's still there, even if it's demolished, maybe I can think of something when I get there." Lu Yuan sighed, what else could he do, he really had no place to start.

"are you going alone?"

"Accompany me when you are free. I will ask Han Xu to borrow a car."

"I have a car..." Meng Fanyu's heart sank when he heard Han Xu's name. He didn't want Lu Yuan to find out about Han Xu now.

"Your car has a hard time driving in the countryside," Lu Yuan interrupted him, "wait for my call."

Hearing the "beep" sound from the receiver, Meng Fanyu reluctantly dropped the phone and looked for Han Xu, where are you going to find him?He opened the drawer, took out the old leather-bound book from the interlayer, and turned to the page with the bottle pictured in a daze.How long, how long had he not touched it?Are you coming back now?

"Tell me," Meng Fanyu closed the book and leaned his head on the back of the chair, "Who will get it first, Su Mo or I?"

There was a soft sound behind him, and a hoarse voice came from the shadow cast by the cabinet, accompanied by a bellows-like laughter: "I hope none of you can get it... As long as Lu Yuan can figure it out... you will all disappear , I would rather disappear with you..."

The person you are calling has switched off their phone.The person you are calling has switched off their phone.The person you are calling has switched off their phone.

Lu Yuan looked at Han Xu's phone number on his phone and felt uneasy. Han Xu's phone had never been turned off.He thought for a while and stood up. He was still a little tired, but it was better than before.He changed his clothes, opened the door and walked out. Su Mo was already sitting in the patio at some point.The moon was covered by thick clouds, and the moonless courtyard looked very cold, and Su Mo's lonely figure leaning on the recliner was also somewhat blurred.

Lu Yuan went down the stairs, walked up to Su Mo, and looked at the cup on the tea table. It was still that strange green tea.Su Mo watched him pick up the teacup with half-closed eyes, with a faint smile on his lips.

"Can I drink?" Lu Yuan asked.

"Yeah." Su Mo tapped his foot on the ground lightly, and the recliner began to shake slowly.

Lu Yuan didn't say much, and took a sip with the cup.

No taste at all, just as light as regular water.He just wanted to ask what was the meaning of drinking, but he faintly felt an indescribable feeling.Something seemed to be stuck in his chest, which made his breathing a little difficult. For a moment, his thoughts surged, and all kinds of feelings rushed up in his heart.

"What is this?" He stared into Su Mo's eyes.

"I told you, soul." Su Mo swayed with the chair, his eyes were flickering.

"...Well, why are you drinking these...souls?" Lu Yuan frowned, feeling very uncomfortable, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"One person, the joys and sorrows of a lifetime, joys and sorrows, joys and sorrows, are all here," Su Mo poured water into the cup, and at some point there was a dark green sugar cube in his hand, and immediately after throwing it into the water, There was a burst of tiny blisters, and the water quickly turned green. "You can feel it, isn't it a bit mixed?"

Lu Yuan was a little surprised, Su Mo didn't say that, he really didn't realize it, he was feeling like this now, he couldn't explain the unexplainable sudden sadness and joy.

"I'm asking why you drink it." Lu Yuan took a deep breath, trying to get rid of Li's inexplicable mood swings.

"Alive." Su Mo's voice was very low, as if a gust of wind could blow it away.

Lu Yuan was a little disappointed by Su Mo's desolate tone, two simple words, alive.In his opinion, Su Mo is obviously not a "living" person, a person without breathing and heartbeat, but wants to live.

He turned and walked towards the courtyard door, he didn't know what to say to continue.

"Why do you want to 'live' like this?" When the courtyard door was closed, Lu Yuan stood outside the door and asked softly.

"I hate."

Sitting in the taxi, Lu Yuan gradually calmed down, but Su Mo's words still echoed in his mind, I hate it.

Buried under the tree are the begonias of the unjustly killed, the begonias raised with resentment, and the begonias with hatred.

Lu Yuan shook his head, pressed his temple, took out his mobile phone and dialed Han Xu again. The cold female voice still came from the receiver, and the user you dialed has turned off his phone.What happened to Han Xu?Lu Yuan flipped through the phone book and found a name, He Zheng.This is Han Xu's boyfriend, Lu Yuan hesitated, and dialed the phone.

"I'm Han Xu's friend. My name is Lu Yuan." Lu Yuan and He Zheng have only met twice, and he can't even remember what He Zheng looks like. If he was not in a hurry to find Han Xu, he would never be like this Called rashly, "Han Xu is here with you, I have something to ask him, but his phone has been turned off."

"Not with me. I haven't seen him for more than a week. He's the uncle. I've been waiting for Uncle Han to summon me." He Zheng replied angrily.

Lu Yuan didn't ask any more questions and hung up the phone.Han Xu has a very bad temper, probably because he has never lost his temper at himself, he would get angry with He Zheng at every turn. If Han Xu was really with him, he would not say he was away, he dared not.

The car stopped in front of Han Xu's small courtyard on the outskirts of the city, and Lu Yuan jumped out of the car and trotted into the courtyard.The courtyard door was unlocked, but the room door was locked. He knocked on the door and yelled again, but there was no movement.

Taking out the key from under the flower pot in the yard, Lu Yuan froze in place as soon as he opened the door.

There was no one in the room. The first thing Lu Yuan saw was the camera thrown on the ground. The lens was broken and scattered on the ground in several pieces.Han Xu cherishes the equipment very much, it is impossible to let the camera fall on the ground so casually, and Lu Yuan has already realized in his heart that something happened to Han Xu.

He didn't rush in right away, but withdrew and looked around the door first, reflexively wanting to protect the scene.A self-painted black can was thrown in the yard. The bottom of the can was dented, and it could be seen that it was smashed out with a lot of force.

There was no other abnormality in the yard. Lu Yuan walked into the house and stopped after taking only two steps.Something was wrong to the right, and he turned his head to see a large black patch.He is very familiar with Han Xu's house, that location is a mirror.

He reached out and touched the mirror. The self-painting was completely dry.The entire mirror was sprayed all over without leaving a gap.Another mirror!Another mirror!

Lu Yuan turned into the bedroom, and the mirror inside was also sprayed black.He was holding on to the door frame, his legs were a little weak, and his whole body was chilling. The thing he was most worried about had happened.

Now he regrets so much that he wants to cry. He shouldn't have involved Han Xu in this matter at the beginning, and he should have stopped pulling Han Xu when he found out that this matter was unusual.Now Han Xu disappeared without any preparation, just like that!

"Asshole!" Lu Yuan slammed his fist hard against the wall, and the severe pain from his hands made him calm down a few seconds later.Seeing the blood slowly oozing from his hands, he took a breath and began to examine the room carefully.

Other than the mirror and the video camera with the shattered lens, nothing unusual.The only thing he couldn't understand was that the mirror in the bathroom hadn't been painted, was it because it was too late or for some other reason?

Lu Yuan sat in the living room with a splitting headache. Not only was he full of unresolvable pain and guilt for Han Xu's disappearance, he also felt incomprehensible for Han Xu's behavior of spraying the mirror black.He looked at the camera with a broken lens on the ground. This was the one that had strange fingerprints on it that day. It was not known whether the lens was broken or smashed artificially.

Lu Yuan pressed his temples with both hands, rubbing them in circles, desperately suppressing the confusion in his heart, and began to sort out the context of the matter.The root of the problem is this camera. If there is any problem with this machine, it means that Han Xu brought the trouble home.Then what?What happened to him?

Han Xu must have discovered something, so he treated the mirror like this, but why didn't he cover it with a cloth or something similar like Xu Jiayin did, but chose to use spray paint?When a person encounters the same thing subconsciously, he often adopts what he has seen or heard before to deal with the same thing. Why is Han Xu's behavior that violates the normal thinking pattern?

Was the situation he encountered different from Xu Jiayin's, or did he have a new discovery?

Perhaps both of these points are true.

Han Xu took back the phone until today when Lu Yuan found him missing, that is, two days. Such a short period of time is completely different from Xu Jiayin's situation, and Han Xu is different from Xu Jiayin. He has received professional criminal investigation training. Fear of these supernatural phenomena will arise, but Han Xu may be able to discover a detail that they did not notice before...

But now that the other person is gone, all the guesses are just guesses and cannot be confirmed.

Lu Yuan took out his mobile phone and looked at the screen, do you want to call the police?After hesitating for a moment, he put down his cell phone and could not call the police.Xu Jiayin's disappearance, Han Xu's disappearance, he was at the scene of both disappearances, so they could be easily linked, and he knew very well that it was impossible to solve such a disappearance case by conventional means.

The huge pressure made Lu Yuan's hands tremble a little, he picked up the phone again and dialed Meng Fanyu's number.

The mobile phone was blinking on the table, but Meng Fanyu didn't answer it, he was holding the receiver of the landline.

"What about the kid? Let him come back, or we'll all be in trouble."

"It's too late."

"Su Mo, don't challenge my limit. You know why I haven't done anything. If the matter is irreversible, I don't have to wait until Lu Yuan understands everything, and I will turn you into ashes with my own hands."

"Are you so cruel?"

"I've lost my heart a long time ago, do you want to try?"
