I asked Liu Shougui.
"How can there be 368 days?"
"There will be three extra days in the ghost market. Those three days are the ghost year, which is the year of another world."
It was only then that I realized that He Dana had never told me this. I never expected it to be like this.
The face plate was the size of a palm, and there were countless faces on it, too many to count, pressed, squeezed, and stacked. No matter how you looked at it, it was just faces. It was the first time I saw such a face plate. I took a closer look and suddenly I was shocked and threw the face plate away. Liu Shougui was so scared that he screamed "Oh my God!"
"What are you doing?"
"Then, then, the face..."
Liu Shougui picked up the mask and looked at it, and was suddenly startled.
"It's strange, there is actually He Dana's face on it. There is a picture of He Dana's face."
There really was a face of He Dana on it, smiling, and that smile was weird, which I had not expected.
"What's going on?"
"This ghost master deceived me. He dared to deceive me. He is seeking death."
I didn't expect this to happen. Liu Shougui put the face plate in his pocket.
"Go to his house after dark."
I don’t know what the ghost master’s home would look like.
After dark, we went to Gui Shi’s house. It was a bungalow with yards within yards and fruit trees planted on it, which blocked the view of the house.
"When you go in, don't walk around or talk nonsense. You only have one pair of eyes."
I nodded.
"Ghost Master Liu, Ghost Master Liu..."
Liu Shougui shouted, but the ghost master didn't come out, and kept shouting.
"Ugly ghost, come in if you have the guts."
"Fuck you, I'm not going in. Come out if you have the guts."
Oh my god, two of them are swearing at each other like kids, what kind of behavior is that
Does Liu Shougui really not dare to go in, or does he not want to go in
Ghost Master Liu just wouldn’t come out.
"Damn it, I have to go in. Don't go in. Wait for me here."
"I think it's okay. He will come out eventually."
"Doesn't that make me look incompetent? I can't die. Ghost Master Liu and I are friends. What are friends for? They're used to trick people, you know?"
Damn it, what kind of bullshit is this point of view? I can't even come up with it when I thought about it. Friends are meant to be cheated, you 1 grandpa 1.
Liu Shougui went in, and he actually limped when he walked in. I was a little shocked. He was fine just now, what was going on
I can't figure it out.
I'm worried that something might happen to Liu Shougui, and I won't be able to explain to Liu Yang. Today I saw that Liu Shougui was a little crazy.
I heard Liu Shougui screaming, and then he limped out.
"No, we can't beat him, go back."
When they were halfway there, Liu Shougui actually stopped turning.
"What happened to your foot?"
"What foot? I let a ghost possess me. It's the ghost I raised. I let the ghost follow me in. Do you think ordinary people can go in? It would be good if they don't die."
"You have a lame ghost?"
"Yeah, what's wrong?"
I want to laugh. This guy is weird. He is so ugly and has a lame ghost. I really can't imagine how weird Liu Shougui is. The weird thing is that he is so ugly and Liu Yang is so handsome. There is really no place to reason.
The face plate that Ghost Master Liu gave us is the most bizarre one. It has He Dana's face on it. With such a face, the face plate controls certain places in this courtyard.
Liu Shougui sat on the chair and cursed the ghost master Liu.
"I made a bad friend."
"Ghost masters are all bad people."
When I returned home that day, Liu Yang told me that someone had come to see me and left something for me.
It was wrapped and placed on the table, and I had no idea what it was.
I opened it and was shocked. It was another face plate, but this one was not convex, but concave. It was obviously a pair with the face plate, which meant the combination of yin and yang. What would happen if they were closed? What exactly did this ghost master Liu want to do? He wanted those spirit ghosts of He Dana. Indeed, Yi ghosts were all very good ghosts.
Actually, I don’t like these ghosts. In my opinion, it’s best to get rid of them as soon as possible, but Liu Shougui wouldn’t let me. He probably wanted to change ghosts himself. Maybe that’s the case. There are many things about Liu Shougui that I can’t understand.
The next day, I went to work and took the concave-faced board with me. I called Liu Shougui and told him what happened. He said he would come over in the afternoon.
In dressing room No. 13, Li Xiaohuan made a face at the camera. I saw it. It was directed at me. She drank coffee. After the corpse was pushed in, she walked aside and started to put on makeup. This girl's makeup was already very good. Today I want to teach her how to do ghost makeup and self-makeup. I don't know if this girl has this luck. Some people are not suitable for learning ghost makeup and self-makeup.
Li Xiaohuan came over when we were having lunch in the cafeteria at noon.
"After get off work, drive yourself to the makeup studio. Today I will teach you ghost makeup and self-makeup."
"Thank you, Master."
After dinner, I returned to the office and saw Liu Shougui sitting inside.
I took out the concave face plate, he took a look at it, and put the convex face plate aside.
"What will happen if you close the Yin-Yang face?"
He was just talking to himself and knew it was useless to ask me.
I was also wondering, what would happen if it was closed
"I think it's best not to close it when you don't know what will happen."
Liu Shougui wrapped the two face panels separately, put them in his bag and left.
I don't know what Ghost Master Liu is trying to do, but he wants to get the spirit ghost, that's for sure. Some people like certain things, but they will feel uncomfortable if they don't get them. I think Ghost Master Liu is like this. I have also been in such a situation. This is human nature and it cannot be changed. There is no such thing as a purely noble person.
Li Xiaohuan left first in the evening. I didn't want people to gossip about it, so half an hour after she left, I drove to Zhafang in Chixian.
When I went over there, Li Xiaohuan hadn't arrived yet. After I called her, she came in and locked the door.
She went to buy food and wine.
There is a restaurant in Chi County, and some of the dishes they serve are quite delicious.
We ate and drank.
"When doing ghost makeup or self-makeup, you have to be obedient and don't mess around. The easiest time to go wrong is after midnight."
"Master, is this paper-making interesting?"
“It’s boring.”
I don't want Li Xiaohuan to learn paper-tying. I will learn paper-tying when I have time, but it seems like it's something I can't get rid of.
In the middle of the night, I woke up Li Xiaohuan and went into the last room of the sixth courtyard. This room was the daughter's room, which should have been where Fu Jiao lived before. Only this room had a dressing mirror, which was the only mirror in the house. It can be seen that the rich family at that time had a firm understanding of Feng Shui. Mirrors are things that attract ghosts, so it is better to use them less.
I opened my makeup case.
"Face the mirror, tie your hair up, don't let it hang down, and then put on your makeup in front of the mirror."
I watched Li Xiaohuan putting on makeup in front of the mirror. She looked a little unfamiliar. She usually didn't wear makeup. She had a bare face and good skin, and she didn't need anything.
When Li Xiaohuan was halfway through putting on makeup.
"Okay, stop, stop."
Li Xiaohuan looked at me.
"Let your hair down. This won't work."
"Just put on ghost makeup, you have to feel good about yourself later."
Li Xiaohuan was a little nervous. She let her hair down. It was almost reaching her waist. It was very beautiful hair.
"Stand half a meter away from the mirror, then stare into it. Tell me if you see anything."
I lit a cigarette and sat by the window. The atmosphere of the old house always makes me feel comfortable. At the same time, there is a sense of tranquility, so I like old houses.
Li Xiaohuan said.
"Master, I saw myself in the mirror, and there was something behind me."
I looked behind Li Xiaohuan and saw a ghost behind him.
"Pick up your makeup brush and put on your makeup."
Ghost makeup is put on to attract ghosts, and then you feel it. That feeling is very important. However, this ghost makeup can be addictive. People who have no willpower sometimes cannot control themselves. If they always put on ghost makeup, they will easily be replaced by the ghost. You will no longer be yourself, but the ghost's you.
"Master, it seems that I am not the one who put on makeup."
"Yes, a ghost is doing the makeup, holding your hand, feeling it well, that's a different way of doing it, if there's anything wrong, tell me."
Li Xiaohuan screamed, and I stood up and looked at the mirror. The ghost in the mirror was actually putting makeup on his face.
"Okay, stop now."
I grabbed the makeup brush and the color in the mirror disappeared.
"Master, what's wrong?"
"Don't put on makeup today. This ghost is interesting. He likes to put on makeup and puts it on his face. Look in the mirror. Do you have any makeup on your face?"
Li Xiaohuan shivered. She had no makeup on her face.
"But you can feel that the ghost makeup method is completely different from the makeup we usually put on in the dressing room."
"Yeah, I feel some, but still no."
"No more melting today. I'll take you home."
"Master, I live here. There are so many rooms."
I looked at the watch and it was already two o'clock in the middle of the night. It was dawn and time to go to work.
"Okay, you sleep in my room and I'll sleep here."
I don’t know if there are any problems with the other rooms, who has lived there, or whether anyone has died there. I have no idea.
When I got up in the morning, Li Xiaohuan was doing exercises in the yard. I was shocked when I saw Li Xiaohuan.
"Xiao Huan, am I wearing makeup?"
"No, I haven't washed my face yet."
Li Xiaohuan has makeup on her face, which should be put on by a ghost. When she is asleep, this ghost really loves to put on makeup. So who else has lived in this courtyard besides Fu Jiao? During the heyday of the Fu family, more than a hundred people lived in this courtyard. There should be many women who gave birth here, but who is this woman who loves to put on makeup? I don't know.
The makeup on Li Xiaohuan's face was her usual makeup, which was delicate and beautiful.
I pulled Li Xiaohuan into the room and stood in front of the mirror. Li Xiaohuan was stunned. To be honest, Li Xiaohuan looked even more beautiful after putting on makeup, and I even felt a little moved.
"A ghost who likes to wear makeup. The one I put on for you is the ghost in the mirror yesterday. Don't be scared. It's okay. Just go to work like this."
"Oh, I'm a little scared."
Li Xiaohuan drove to work with her makeup on. Ten minutes after she left, I drove to work.
I saw Li Xiaohuan drinking coffee on the surveillance camera, so I felt relieved.
I discovered something was wrong at around ten o'clock. At the No. 10 operating table in the refining room, a female refiner pushed the push rod four times. This was the rod for turning the corpse over. The normal operation was one to two times. I stared at her and she pushed it again.
I picked up the wireless stand.
"Refinement room, platform 10, what are you doing?"
The director of the refining room heard it, ran over, took a look, and suddenly pressed the stop button.
I immediately went to the refining room, and the refiner stood aside without saying a word. (To be continued)
