Bewitching

Ji Xingchen stood aside and observed Meng Xi's expression, seeing that he didn't overreact, he was inexplicably relieved. After a while, he pretended to be casual and said: "Wang Changshan's body is here, I think I should come and have a look."

He walked forward a few steps, then stopped suddenly, turned his head and nodded his eyes at Meng Qiang, "I came here two days ago, but I didn't find anything weird. How about you drive it for me?" Yin and Yang eyes, I'll go in and have a look first, you are waiting for me here."

"It's okay, I'll be with you." Meng Xi stepped forward to push the door to go in, but the other party preempted him, so he could only walk in behind him.

Ji Xingchen looked at him secretly, seeing that his face remained unchanged and his steps were steady, he was finally completely relieved.What he did was not authentic, and he thought about communicating with Meng Xi first, but when he thought about how this man calmly faced the ghost, he felt that he was different from ordinary people.But I can't tell exactly how it is different, but I just know that this person will definitely be with him.

He walked beside Meng Kui, his long legs were rarely considerate to accommodate the other's small steps, and he walked very slowly.

The staff on duty in the morgue were watching a drama with an ad, and they were not surprised to see the two of them coming in.He stood up and greeted Ji Xingchen, and then led the two of them to the freezer, muttering as they walked, "Why are you here so late?"

Ji Xingchen knew him, and he lied without blushing, "There was a traffic jam on the road, so I wasted some time."

Meng Xi thought that he had deliberately turned a corner to take him to dinner, his face became hot, and he felt that he might have delayed the time that the two of them had set.

The man didn't doubt it, nodded and said: "Hurry up, my partner will be back in a while. He is newly sent from above, and he is a relative of the leader. It is not good to be bumped into."

Several people went to the freezer, and the man directly opened Wang Changshan's locker behind their backs.

The faces of people who died in accidents were more or less ferocious and terrifying. Even if they were put on makeup by the mortician, they still had a somewhat evil spirit.If it is lightly hit by the horoscope, the mild one will be riddled with diseases, and the severe one will be frightened out of their souls or even frightened to death.

Ji Xingchen has followed Xing Er for these years, so he still has some common sense.He knew that Meng Kui knew something, but he was indeed too weak.To be on the safe side, I stretched out my hand to cover his eyes first.

Meng Kui felt his eyes go dark, and his eyes were covered by a hand with sharp knuckles.He knew that it was Ji Xingchen's hand, so he stood there quietly without moving.There was the sound of shallow breathing, and the two of them were very close.

"You wait."

After Ji Xingchen finished speaking, after a while, there was a rustling sound behind him, and then something hung around his neck, which was very cool and comfortable, like the sea breeze in summer. .

He hung the safety buckle around Meng Xi's neck, and then adjusted the knot at the back until he saw the light blue ring around his collarbone, encircling the bright red mole, and then he let go.

"This is it?" Meng Qian touched the jade ring on his neck in astonishment. It was cool at first contact, but after a while, it became warm.

Ji Xingchen took a step back and looked at it, and felt that this thing looked good on him, and it matched the mole on his neck quite well.

There was a little smile in his eyes, and there was a hint of pride on his face, "I have worn this safety buckle since I was a child. Xing Er said that it has spirits and will keep people safe. I will lend you to carry it for a while."

Meng Qian was a little moved, and was about to thank you, when he heard him say: "Hey, it just covers your savage cinnabar mole, not bad!"

Meng Xi: "..." Feeling moved or something, it disappeared in an instant, so fast.

"Hey, hurry up, both of you." Seeing the two of them muttering and standing still, the staff member urged in a low voice, "Stop dawdling, it will be troublesome when people come back later."

Meng Qian scratched his head in embarrassment, walked to the corpse, stared at the stiff and bluish face carefully, and started to get down to business.He remembered what the two had said in the restaurant, and turned his gaze to the heart again.

Ji Xingchen stood aside with his chest in his arms, watching his pupils shrink slightly, and turned his head to follow that gaze towards the direction of his heart.Wang Changshan's heart was tightly covered by the white cloth. He didn't have clairvoyant eyes, so he couldn't see any problems at all.Seeing Meng Kui walking over, he was about to lift the white cloth with his hand, so he quickly pressed his hand down.

Meng Xi was taken aback when he grabbed his hand, thinking that he felt that he was disrespecting the deceased, so he quickly explained, "I just want to see his heart, there seems to be something wrong there."

Ji Xingchen shook his head, and said to the staff standing aside playing with his mobile phone, "Just lift the cloth to reveal the position of the heart."

The man didn't raise his head, he walked over and lifted the white cloth, exposing Wang Changshan's naked chest.

Meng Kui stared at the position of the heart for a long time, and after a while, he muttered to himself: "Sure enough."

Ji Xingchen didn't know what was going on with 'Sure enough', but seeing that he saw the problem, he stood quietly by the side without disturbing him.After a while, seeing that the time was almost up, he took out a boxy pastry box from his backpack, threw it to the staff at the side, and then greeted him and took Meng Xi out.

As soon as he left the funeral home, Ji Xingchen couldn't wait to take off his mask, and sucked in the air.After a while, I took out the hand sanitizer I had prepared earlier, squeezed it vigorously on my hands, then rubbed my hands vigorously repeatedly, and finally took out the wet wipes and paper towels, and wiped them for a while.After finishing all this, I took the time to ask him: "I see, is there really a problem with the heart?"

Meng Kui didn't speak just now, he just stood there dumbfounded watching him busy, almost suspecting that he would rub off several layers of skin before he would give up.I was surprised when I heard his question. Although it seems that he died in a car accident on the surface, there is indeed something abnormal in his body. . ?

He paused, and continued, "Something once attached to him, slowly gnawing at the vitality in his body. This thing cannot be detected by naked eyes or machines. They live in the target person's body like Gu, and then Bit by bit, their blood is eaten away, and when the heart is corroded, this person is hopeless. And those victims will suffer from pain in limbs and weakness at first, and even slowly have hallucinations, palpitations, and coughing up blood, until finally , died of unbearable heart pain."

Ji Xingchen was a little surprised, "Such an evil door, what exactly is causing the trouble?"

"Cat ghost."

Ji Xingchen had never heard this word before, so he frowned silently, and then looked at him suspiciously: "Cat ghost? I've heard of cat ghosts and human ghosts, but I've never heard of 'cat ghosts'."

In fact, Meng Xi hadn't encountered this kind of sorcery for a long time, thinking about its 'production' process, his face was a little serious.

He patiently explained to Ji Xingchen: "People will become ghosts after death, and cats will naturally become ghosts just like humans after death. The refining of cat ghosts is more troublesome. Gu masters and warlocks usually kill ghosts on purpose. cats, and then use some special methods, such as rituals and spells, to obtain cat ghosts. Of course, not all cats can be refined into cat ghosts, and the cats to be killed must be old cats, and the older the better. Then every midnight, those who keep it will sacrifice to it."

"The reason for choosing Ziye is that the zodiac sign of 'zi' is the rat, and at this time the sacrifice means offering the rat to the cat. This kind of sacrifice cannot be interrupted, otherwise the raised cat ghost will harm the person who raised it. Etc. After a certain period of time, the breeder feels that the cat ghost can be manipulated, and will release it to harm others. The victim first experienced pain in the limbs, which spread throughout the body, and finally reached the heart. When they get sick, the victim will vomit blood, become weak day by day, and finally die of blood. And their property will also be magically transferred to the home of the person who kept them."

After Meng Xi finished explaining in one breath, he saw Ji Xingchen checking something with his mobile phone. He turned his body to look, and saw the word 'cat ghost' being input into the browser.

Ji Xingchen took a quick look at the ten lines, and then read according to the Baidu entry above: "When the 'cat ghost' was most popular in the Sui Dynasty, there was a man named 'Dugutuo' among the relatives of the Sui royal family. He could Manipulate the "cat ghost" and curse his sister, the queen. After this incident, the court of the Sui Dynasty strictly banned the "cat ghost". And believe in "cat ghost" or "voodoo poison" such evil spirits The family was exiled to the border area. After a period of time, the situation gradually seemed to subside..."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Meng Qian with some ambiguous meaning, "This matter is indeed recorded in history. It was clearly mentioned in "Sui Shu" and "Zi Zhi Tong Jian". At that time, it was rumored that a large number of cats were killed. , in order to steal other people’s money, many people raise old cats in large numbers and perform curses.”

The location of the funeral parlor is yin and yang, the terrain is flat, and the temperature difference between day and night is large.In addition, this place is inherently cloudy, so whether it is winter or summer, there is an inexplicable chill in the air, and it is extremely cold at night.

The night is low, and when you look up, you can see the faint light of the sparse stars in the sky, and the surrounding is silent, making this place seem weird and gloomy.As a result, their voices were abrupt and inexplicably empty.

The two walked along the path to the parking lot, Ji Xingchen lowered his head from time to time, looking at the taxi app on his phone.This place is remote and weird, and no driver would wander around here in the middle of the night.He didn't give up and raised the price. After waiting for a while, someone finally took the order for the money.

The two stood in the empty parking lot, waiting for their car, talking about the case.

Thinking about the speculation they had made when they called that day, Meng Xi sighed, "You were right that day, the instigator of this incident is man. But there are so many people here, unless he makes another move, it will be difficult to catch him. "

Ji Xingchen was staring at the location of the car-calling software while pondering, "According to you, cat ghosts are difficult to train. He must kill cats from time to time to increase the number of cat ghosts. If so, I want to find out who is behind it People, you must go to a place with a lot of cats. But now there are so many cat slaves, if your cat is lost for no reason, the owner will definitely not let it go. But if it is a wild cat, a stray cat..."

A person suddenly flashed in Meng Xi's mind, he stopped there immediately, and excitedly pushed Ji Xingchen aside, "Hey, do you remember the girl next to me?"

Ji Xingchen was pushed down undefended, interrupting his train of thought, he glared at Meng Qiang with dissatisfaction, "I'm talking to you about business, what are you talking about girls with?"

"No, I accompanied her to feed the cats in the school cafeteria today. She told me that the number of wild cats in the park near her community suddenly decreased a lot this summer." Meng Xi remembered Wang Yuanyuan's words, his eyes sparkled, "I have a way, I can definitely catch this guy!"

Just as Ji Xingchen was about to speak, when he looked up, he saw the reserved car driving towards them with double flashing lights.He hurriedly waved his mobile phone there, and when the car stopped, he pushed Meng Qian into it, and then got into the car next to him.

He didn't wear much today, and he specially wore a knitted sweater with a large neckline for his beauty.The wind was blowing all around here, and his clothes were not dense, and he was completely frozen when he was blown or hit. He was so cold that he had been stomping his feet just now.

"I'll talk about catching people when I go back. There's wind leaking from all sides in this broken place. Go back to the hotel to warm up first!"

Monk Meng Qianzhang was puzzled and looked at him suspiciously, "Hotel?"

"What time is it? Is it possible that you still want to go back to school? I already booked the room on my mobile phone when I came here. Don't worry, this time is not the shabby hotel last time. It's absolutely soundproof!"

The driver looked at them meaningfully from the rearview mirror, and then sped away towards the soundproof hotel.
