Chapter 3 - evil spirits
Among the memories of the original body, the original body had never seen such a black mist either.
Jiang Luo took this to heart for the time being and followed the owner with his steps to the Sleeping Beauty themed room.
It is a triple room with three queen-size beds in the middle of the room, decorated in a girlish dreamy style. There is a pot of lush greenery in the corner and the window opens on the west side, just out of the way of the outside window brakes.
The owner stood by the door, looking at the room with a scornful expression, as if there was some monster in the room that would devour him, "A month ago, the three guests who disappeared booked this very room. It was three girls, they were very close and still in school. Before the surveillance failed, the camera caught them returning to the room to rest, only for no one to come out the next day, and when we opened the door, the people had disappeared."
The owner shook twice, the panic in his eyes showing, "The two male companions who live next door to them can testify that they hadn't gone out at night and said goodnight to the two boys before they went to bed. We called the police as soon as we realised they were missing, and the whole hotel was searched everywhere, but there was no sign of them."
The three men listened quietly as Ye Xun asked, "Nothing was found in the room?"
"No," the boss took a slow, calm puff from a cigarette, "only our cleaning aunt found strands of their hair in the bed, proving they had slept in it."
Other than that, the three girls acted as if they hadn't been here before.
When the owner talks about it, he gets all hairy and crawling with lice, "Since a year ago, our hotel's business has suddenly gone downhill, the clientele has become less, the bad reviews have become more, and the guests who have stayed here always have some minor health problems, not serious but too evil. Not only that, but some guests have heard the sound of a ball being played in the corridor in the middle of the night, so what kind of person stays up in the middle of the night to play a ball? Some guests were curious and didn't dare to open the door in the middle of the night, so they looked out under the door and saw a human head bouncing on the floor outside the door!"
The owner blushed furiously, "I, I don't know if what the guests saw was real or not, but I haven't seen ..."
After listening, Ye Xun took the lead and looked around the room. Jiang Luo, who was half an amateur, followed Ye Xun. After following them from place to place, Jiang Luo asked curiously, "Did you find anything?"
Lu Youyi shook his head, "I don't see anything. Ye Xun, what about you."
Ye Xun, thoughtful, said faintly, "We'll look at it at midnight."
Lu Youyi stretched out his fingers for a moment, and his face suddenly turned ugly as he lowered his voice and said, "The three missing girls are in grave danger."
In fact, Lu Youyi's divination was "very bad" and the three girls were most likely dead.
Jiang Luo and Ye Xun both fell silent.
The owner didn't hear Lu Youyi's words, and when he heard Ye Xun say that he would come back to see you at midnight, he hurriedly said, "Let me take you to eat first, your rooms have been arranged, and when you have finished eating, I will take you over to rest."
Ye Xun led the way out, "Dinner is fine, but not the room, boss, we'll stay here tonight."
The boss looked at him in admiration, worthy of being a big man who had lived for fifty-eight years and swallowed countless ghosts, and he responded with a full mouth, "Yes, yes, I'll ask auntie to come and change your bed sheets and covers."
Lu Youyi looks rich, and Ye Xun doesn't look too bad either, but they eat like refugees from a refugee camp, gobbling down their food and rolling in their hands. Jiang Luo watched as they ate an extra bowl of rice and slumped back in his chair.
When he had finished eating, the other two were not yet full, Lu Youyi gave him a disgusted look, " Jiang Luo, why did you only eat so much."
Jiang Luo held up three fingers, "Three bowls now."
Ye Xun looked up from his bowl of rice, "Are you full?"
Jiang Luo nods his head.
Ye Xun handed him the rabbit doll in his arms, "Hold Xiao Fen for a while."
The pink rabbit looked like a normal three-year-old's favourite type, half the size of an adult. Jiang Luo took the doll into his arms, remembering what he had said to fool his boss, and joked, "Do I need to pay attention to anything?"
"Hmm?" Ye Xun looked up as if remembering something, "You can't feed Xiao Fen."
Jiang Luo nodded fervently, grabbed the doll rabbit's paw and waved it at Ye Xun, "Got it."
After a few moments, the old grandmother came over to eat with her grandson in her arms. Jiang Luo Yu Guang looks over and sees the little boy sitting at the table, gorging himself on eggs, eating fiercely, with a fine egg white stuck to his face.
Jiang Luo's eyes go down, still seeing a black haze on the child's chubby white arms.
The black mist does not give Jiang Luo a very good feeling as he walks over curiously with his doll in his arms and sits next to the child.
The old grandmother was tending to her grandson's meal, her kind face cheerful as she slowly said, "Eat more, eat more well."
My grandson looks like Lu Youyi and Ye Xun when he swallows like that. But Lu Youyi and Ye Xun are adults and children have small throats, so is it okay for them to eat like this?
The child reaches out to take the peeled egg from his grandmother's hand, the flesh on his face twitching, and Jiang Luo is aptly reminded of a pig waiting to be slaughtered in a pig farm.
He sidled up to the grandmother and said, "Grandma, is this the time you're having lunch too?"
The grandmother responded for a moment before she said sluggishly, "Ah, lunch, I've had it! My grandson was hungry, so he ate some more."
Oh, afternoon tea.
The child had enough to eat and slid off the chair, "Grandma, I'll play for a while!"
The grandmother said yes, smiling as she watched her grandson play in the sand. Her face was full of happiness and relief, as if she was content just to watch her child.
Jiang Luo said casually, "Grandma, is it not good for children to eat too many eggs?"
The old grandmother waved her hand, "It's okay, he loves to eat. Look how nice he is ... white and chubby."
Jiang Luo's chatty tone, "How are the kids' grades?"
"Results?" The grandmother looked confused for a moment and then laughed again, "It's okay, it's okay. Grades are not important, being fat and white is the most important thing, and being able to eat is a blessing."
Jiang Luo smiled a little, "You are so enlightened."
After a while, the grandmother got up trembling and went to the kitchen to get food, muttering as she went, "I have to get him something to eat, he'll be hungry again in a while ..."
After the old man left, Jiang Luo and his fat grandson were the only ones left around.
Jiang Luo took a piece of candy out of his pocket and put it in his mouth. He crunched the candy with a bang, and the children playing in the sand were attracted by the sound of the candy, and ran to Jiang Luo's face, sucking in their saliva.
Jiang Luo took out another piece of candy and waved it in front of the child, "Little friend, do you want some candy?"
The child nodded vigorously.
Jiang Luo's eyes narrowed with a smile and he coaxed softly, "If you want to eat, you have to promise me one thing."
Child: "Good~"
Jiang Luo poured a big glass of water to the child, like a big bad wolf in granny's clothes, "You finish this glass of water and then promise your brother not to go to the toilet before you go to bed at night, okay?"
The child bit his finger in embarrassment, "It's hard to hold your pee."
Jiang Luo pulled out two more sugar cubes.
The child's eyes lit up and he took the glass of water and banged it down, his little belly stretched out to the naked eye and he burped.
Jiang Luo gave him the sugar cube and returned to sit next to Lu Youyi in a good mood, asking casually, "Does child's urine ward off evil spirits?"
Lu Youyi said, "Yes, not only can it ward off evil spirits, it can also be used as medicine, and it can also be used to boil eggs.
Jiang Luo is a great insight.
After dinner, the three of them go back to Sleeping Beauty's room. It is still early in the morning, so Lu Youyi turns on the TV to watch an idol drama, while Jiang Luo and Ye Xun each go back to their rooms to rest.
Jiang Luo has finally had time to sort out the memories of the original body.
He went over the memory of the original killing Chi You and the corners of his mouth turned up.
The death of Chi You is indeed suspicious.
This is a good thing, as long as there is suspicion, Jiang Luo will be able to follow the trail and find someone who will take the fall for him. Of course, if there is really no suspicion, as the saying goes, if there is no way, create a way, if there is no opportunity, create an opportunity.
If there is no doubt, then create it.
As far back as I can remember, Chi You was a natural-born spiritual being with a talent so strong that it was unheard of in the entire metaphysical world. Chi You was the last heir to the Chi family lineage and became the head of the Chi family at a very young age. He is the last heir to the Chi family lineage, and at a young age he has become the head of the Chi family. Such a life looks like an open existence to the onlookers, and with just one talent, he is able to overwhelm many people who have worked hard and studied hard.
The original was so jealous of Chi You's talent that his eyes were about to bleed.
If only his gift could be given to me - the original certainly thought about it, but he only dared to think about it in his mind.
Originally, even though the original body was cynical about Chi You, the surface was still calm. But the week before Chi You died, the original stumbled across a forbidden technique on the internet.
The forbidden technique is an evil spell that can take someone else's spirit into its own body, and before he knows whether it's true or not, the original body is already getting more and more tempted, and finally he doesn't resist the temptation to take Chi You's spirit away. He did it all half-heartedly, but Chi You died in the forbidden spell - and his soul was cut into pieces and shattered to pieces.
The original owner gets nothing, but instead invites a crazy and evil spirit.
The original owner is indeed the murderer of Chi You, but it is more like a knife in the hands of the person behind it. Can you blame the knife for the murderer killing with a knife?
Well, even if the knife was guilty, wouldn't the knife be able to pay off by finding the murderer for the victim?
Jiang Luo rubbed his face and thought, "If I were Chi You, I'm sure I wouldn't want to blame this poor, innocent knife.
It is getting darker and the sun is setting.
Jiang Luo stopped thinking and got out of bed and went out the door. Lu Youyi looked up at him and then said with a complicated expression, " Jiang Luo, Chi You is no wonder he has fallen in love with you."
The young man who had just gotten out of bed had messy black hair, two faint puffs of pasty red on his declining face, lips engorged with blood from dryness, lips red and teeth white, and a flamboyant air. His presence alone gave the impression that a hundred flowers were blooming, a cluster of flowers.
Beautiful.
Pretty for a man.
Even if Jiang Luo's character is bad and stupid, his face has the power to make Chi You fall in love with him.
Jiang Luo smoothed out the strands of his hair, he was used to hearing such compliments and smiled casually, "Shall we start catching ghosts now?"
Ye Xun kept his hands to himself, "I'm getting things ready."
A long rectangular table sits against the north wall, with a large square mirror hanging in the centre of the wall. On the brown table is a bowl of white rice and some unlit incense.
Jiang Luo, for the first time in his life, was excited about everything. When he was ready, Ye Xun looked up at the clock and said, "Wait for the hour of the son."
Jiang Luo nodded and asked, "Why is there a mirror hanging in the middle?"
"Mirrors are a gathering of yin energy and can repel evil and illuminate forms," Ye Xun said, "If there is really something dirty here, yin energy will spill out of the mirrors, blowing the cigarettes and carrying us to the place where the yin energy is gathered."
Jiang Luo is a hundred thousand questions: "Why not use a compass?"
Ye Xun took the compass from one side and showed it to him, only to see that the magnetic needle in the inner disk of the compass was wavering all over the place, unable to point out a clear direction, Ye Xun said, "The compass is disturbed by the magnetic field here, it won't work around the hotel."
Jiang Luo's realization dawned on him.
The wait was quick, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost eleven o'clock at night.
The light is scarce at night in the Northern Third Ring Road, and the darkness outside the window is as thick and sticky as ink poured on it. Lu Youyi, sitting in a twisted position, suddenly gets up and says, "I'm going to the toilet, is there anyone with me?"
Ye Xun got up with his doll in his arms, "I'll go too."
Jiang Luo knows the horror genre well and never leaves a single person behind, "Together."
Lu Youyi couldn't hold it any longer, so he rushed into the toilet and closed the door. Half a minute later, he suddenly exclaimed, "Shit!"
Jiang Luo and Ye Xun looked at each other, " Lu Youyi ?"
Lu Youyi opened the door and said with shock, "Crap, what do you think this is?"
The two men walked over and saw a white plastic bag wrapped in something that looked roughly like money soaking in the toilet flush tank.
Lu Youyi took the object out and put it on the ground and opened it.
Jiang Luo's goose bumps were rising, "What's the point of putting plague coins in the toilet?"
"It's definitely not the shop that put it there," Lu Youyi said with a flourish as he ran to wash his hands of bad luck. "Putting plutonium coins in the toilet ... is really brilliant. The toilet is a place to hide dirt, the moisture itself is serious Yin Qi, the toilet is even more dirty. Putting plutonium in the toilet is either trying to drain away your own bad fortune or the fortune of others."
"Business at Hotel 129 has gone downhill since a year ago, could it be related to this?" Jiang Luo rubbed his chin and said.
"Most likely," Lu Youyi immediately agreed, "we'll go to the toilet in the other room tomorrow and see if there are any more plutonium coins."
After washing their hands, Lu Youyi and Jiang Luo retreated. Lu Youyi was also a bit frightened and kept pestering Jiang Luo, "What do you think the dirty things in here could be?"
Jiang Luo said, "How would I know if you didn't know?"
Lu Youyi choked for a moment and muttered, "I don't have a clue, do I?"
Jiang Luo's heart thumped and he said, "Lu Youyi, I'm not as good as you and Ye Xun is not as big as you. You are the most capable of the three of us, and the only reason I came out with you to take on the mission was because you were there. You're more than that in my mind, if even you don't have confidence, what are we going to clean up the filth?"
Lu Youyi had never been complimented like that before and he was a little shy, "Really, really? Am I really that good?"
"Of course!" Jiang Luo nodded decisively, "You have to believe in yourself, don't be afraid even if there are ghosts, just grab your dick and go for it, the dirty things here are no more powerful than you are for sure."
Lu Youyi was overwhelmed with emotion, he never thought Jiang Luo would trust him so much, his sense of responsibility rose from his heart and Lu Youyi clenched his fist and said, "Yes, I will protect you!
Jiang Luo sent him applause in relief, just as Ye Xun came out of the toilet and Jiang Luo drew back into the toilet in a hurry.
He dropped the lock cleanly and walked to the mirror to wash his hands with a contented hum.
The tune is lively and in a lovely key.
Jiang Luo bends down to wash his face again to wake up, and when he looks up, he sees a young man with phoenix eyes, long eyelashes draped with crystal droplets of water, and dark hair falling in front of his forehead in a closed circle at his temples.
Eyes like dotted paint, lips tinged with a little smile. A mix of classical poise and modern beauty, with a glance and a flow of light.
But the pretty young man's face turned abruptly ugly as a deep palm mark suddenly appeared on his slender neck.
The five finger marks are hideous and bizarre, and the bloodline of Jiang Luo's neck is held between these five fingers.
Jiang Luo's breathing became laboured and he looked into the mirror, which reflected him and the mist that had suddenly appeared behind him.
The yin energy gathered in a large iron branded palm, so hard that it was about to suffocate Jiang Luo.
Morose deadly air blew past my ears, and the mist slowly tightened its palms as someone laughed twice in a low voice and asked with interest, "When did I ... become deeply in love with you?"
