In the short silence, Sur suddenly asked: "Have you ever met a tongue-pulling ghost in the previous copy?"
Ji Heng shook his head.
Sur frowned: "What if the other party is not a young lady, but an old man in his 70s or 80s?"
He was afraid of not being able to speak.
Ji Heng glanced at him: "You are quite picky."
"… "
I don't know if it was an illusion, but as soon as the voice fell, Sur felt a cloudy wind passing by.
In fact, the matter of the forced kiss was just talk. He asked himself that he was not so talented, and he could be a tongue-pulling ghost.
The death of Ge Xuyan made the players feel that time was pressing, and before they could experience the sadness of the death of a rabbit and a fox, they went out one after another and carried out their respective plans.
Su Er and Ji Heng did not stay in the yard for long, collecting clues about the three most vocal brothers outside.
After inquiring about the residence, Sur thought for a while: "It's better to make a judgment after in-depth contact."
Ji Heng was very experienced in this area, so he chose to visit directly. He took the attitude of a weak man, although there was not much humility in his tone: "We want to visit Mr. Li."
A young man in his early twenties came to the door and asked, "Which Mr. Li?"
Ji Heng: "Anyone will do."
The man looked at them with scrutiny.
Ji Heng lowered his head slightly: "The two of us grew up in Yutang. A few days ago, we were punished for stealing alcohol, and most of us were turned away when looking for a job."
Suer cooperated very well, and said: "Everyone in the town believes in the three gentlemen of the Li family. If you can help to talk things out, it will not be difficult to find a job."
The young man looked disgusted when he heard that they were drinking secretly. Originally, he wanted to drive people away, but he rolled his eyes and changed his mind for some reason: "You guys wait here for a while."
After saying that, he closed the door temporarily, as if he was going back to find someone to discuss something.
The two of them were left outside the door for a while, and there were sparrows on the tree behind them, making a lot of noise.
Sur smiled and asked, "Will you agree?"
Ji Heng: "100% likely to answer, 70% likely to let us stay here temporarily to help."
Thinking of how the Guard wanted to find someone to publicize when he faced the corpse in the morning, Suer's tone was a little more mocking: "Then we can publicize how we can repent and set foot on the right path under his teaching."
It is indeed a good canvassing case, but it seems ridiculous to compare the respect for the rules here.
Ji Heng saw what he was thinking, and said lightly: "Rules are rules, and people's hearts are people's hearts. It cannot be generalized."
After about three or four minutes, a man in his fifties walked out of the door. His hair was meticulously combed, because his mouth was always pursed into a mean arc when he didn't smile all the year round.
Su Er and Ji Heng bowed respectfully and said hello.
The man was quite satisfied with their attitude: "Come in with me."
The town emphasizes blood kinship, and the Li family lives in a large house.
The man holds the identity of the elder, so naturally he can't take the initiative to tell them too much. The young man took the job and introduced: "This is my father, Li Youzun." After a while, he said: "I am Li Shouzhang."
According to the clues obtained before, Li Youzun is the oldest of the three brothers and has the best reputation. Originally, the position of the head of the guard this time belonged to him, but Li Youzun also had a daughter, and he scolded vulgar words when arguing with others, which caused his reputation to decline.
The owner of the breakfast shop still remembers the contempt of Li Youzun's daughter when he mentioned: "The ignorant junior implicates the elders in the family. Fortunately, she is still a little ashamed. She hanged herself two days ago. I heard that the tongue was sticking out."
Su Er recalled that he looked at Ji Heng and the latter nodded, indicating that the tongue-pulling ghost was probably Li Youzun's dead daughter.
Although the game world is cruel, it pays attention to cause and effect. The clues that can be collected in it can often echo back and forth until they are completely connected.
However, Su Er breathed a sigh of relief at this moment, gently tugged at Ji Heng's sleeve, and said with his mouth: "It's a young lady."
He is fine again.
Ji Heng's eyelids twitched slightly, pretending not to hear those words.
"There is a piece of land behind the house, and you are responsible for that." Li Youzun said, "Of course the wages won't be too high."
Sur pretended to be grateful to Dade: "I am very grateful to be able to solve the urgent need."
Most of Yutang’s children have only attended junior high school, and everyone is telling them that they have lost their parents and can’t lose their education. These children usually have low self-esteem, and after graduation from junior high school, they will learn crafts to make a living.
Su Er felt sympathetic at first, but with the lessons of Li Youzun's daughter, he suddenly felt that no one really had a good life in this sick place.
·
There are scattered trees in the back ground.
"Every year my father will take us to plant trees here," Li Shouzhang said with a sense of honor: "You have to take good care of it. Also, my father hates weeds, and he must get rid of it when he sees it."
Sur glanced around: "But there are not many trees here."
Li Shouzhang: "The crooked ones will be chopped off by the roots."
As soon as he finished speaking, Sur saw a tree lying on the side of the road whose leaves were not completely yellow, and it looked like it had just been cut down.
Li Shouzhang explained a few words about the daily work that needs to be done, and turned to leave. Sur shook his head: "Cut down the roots? Fortunately, these trees haven't grown up yet, otherwise the roots will spread dozens of meters underground, and they won't be exhausted."
The two were guarding the land, and they couldn't see anyone else. It took time for lunch before someone finally called. The Li family has two nannies. Because of their small wealth, they also hired a night-time janitor. These helpers have a special place to eat.
According to common sense, the most useful information can be inquired from their mouths, but unfortunately no one spoke at the dinner table, and even the sound of chewing was rare. You can't use your tongue-in-cheek tongue.
After eating quietly, Su Er was going to find Li Shouzhang, but unexpectedly the other party took the initiative to come over, and after a glance at everyone, he said: "Tonight is the first seven of my sister, my father wants to invite people to come over, please ten Don't go out after noon."
Sur seized the opportunity to speak and asked about the accommodation: "The roof of the place where we live now is broken."
Li Shouzhang was not very old, so he was a good talker here, so he arranged two adjacent small rooms for them to temporarily live in.
During their lunch break, Su Er and Ji Heng sat under a tree in the backyard.
"Would it be better to stay tonight?"
Ji Heng nodded: "Something will definitely happen in Huihun Ye. Knowing more about the Li family is beneficial and harmless, but there are risks."
Sur made it clear, posing a more realistic question: "Why aren't other players asking about the situation?"
Unsurprisingly, the final candidate for the chief guard will be one of the three brothers of the Li family.
Ji Heng's tone was flat: "Maybe they have other plans."
·
The house is very quiet, everyone speaks softly and walks quietly. When the sun was about to set, something different finally came out. Sur hid in the dark to observe, and a monk wearing a cassock was surrounded by him.
Beside him, in addition to Li Youzun, there are two middle-aged people who look alike, most of them are Li Youzun's brothers. What the two sides are talking about, but unfortunately the distance is too far to hear.
The work ended early, and before entering the door to rest, Ji Heng gave Sur a talisman.
"The new soul that has just died won't be too powerful," Ji Heng said, "I brought this amulet from a zombie copy, and pasting it on it can restrict the ghost's movements."
Sur turned to both sides with curiosity: "Is there a time limit?"
"No more than five minutes, enough for you to run out and ask for help."
Sur thanked him: "But I shouldn't be so unlucky."
"Players are more likely to attract the attention of ghosts than the aborigines." Ji Heng said no more, and stepped into the room first.
Sur stared at the talisman paper in his hand, thinking about what preparations he could do now if he really wanted to hit a ghost at night... He quickly came to a conclusion: make up for sleep.
Staying up late will reduce people's concentration. In order to ensure a certain degree of sleep, Sur almost forced himself to fall asleep.
At this time, it is impossible to sleep soundly, the sky turned from dark to dark and finally to thick ink, and the sound of chanting scriptures was faintly heard in the half-dream and half-awake. Sur opened his eyes and quickly woke up.
The air-conditioning was overflowing, and he specially checked whether the windows were tightly closed. During the biting coldness, it was almost impossible for people to walk.
Sur is now sure that the ghost is staring at him.
It's no wonder that Ge Xuyan didn't escape on the first night. This coldness slowed down the frequency of his body movements.
He lowered his head and breathed into the palm of his hand, and the moment he raised his head, cold air hit his face. A face suddenly appeared close at hand, the mouth was festering, and there was venom deep in the hollow eyes.
Sur couldn't help but take a small step back, but he couldn't help but cry out.
After staring at each other for a few seconds, the female ghost ran out of patience, and stretched out her thin hands directly to his mouth.
Sur moved his stiff fingers, and at the same time stretched out his arm, enduring the cold and sticking the talisman on the female ghost. For a moment, he thought about whether the talisman paper would fall off. Fortunately, like the two ends of a magnet, the talisman paper was firmly glued to the female ghost's shoulder.
Instead of running out to ask for help immediately, Sur stared at the female ghost instead. Ji Heng said that the new soul is often not very strong, in other words, it will be a good experimental subject.
First, he took out the electric shocker and charged the opponent. The female ghost opened her mouth because of the pain, and the festering area became larger.
Sur tried again, and the surrounding temperature gradually rose, confirming that the female ghost was indeed in a weak state. He carefully recorded what he observed. The electric shock can replenish the host's energy, but it does harm to the ghost.
Why is this happening
Unfortunately, only two experimental subjects have been found so far, and no further data can be collected. Sur sighed and retracted the shock for the next test. He seriously asked the female ghost, "Did you fall in love with me at first sight?"
The female ghost shook her head desperately, her long hair danced in the sky, and she didn't know if she understood.
Sur frowned and said to himself: "It seems that the charm value can't make the ghost feel close."
Since it can be tied with the force value and the spiritual value, it must have its existence value, I thought about it and tried to blink an eye to discharge.
The female ghost's eyes are obviously empty, but looking at him is like looking at some kind of monster.
The talisman can only be dragged on for five minutes. Even if there is an electric shock device, Suer does not dare to put all his safety on an uncertain thing. Seeing that there is not much time left, he seizes the time to hook his finger at the female ghost and make a few self-defeating actions. Think cool pose.
"how about this?"
"How about that?"
"Come on, have you ever fallen in love with me?"
When he was trying different things, his sixth sense, which had been very keen since he entered the game, suddenly woke up. Su Er suddenly raised his eyes and looked out the window, only to see a familiar figure standing there: "Ji Heng?"
Ji Heng touched the left earlobe. This was the secret code that the two of them had set before, in order to prevent dirty things from disguising themselves as human beings.
Sur opened the window, and the bungalow had no protective fence, and people outside easily jumped in.
Ji Heng: "I heard movement from your room."
He didn't wait to ask for help, just in case, he chose to go out to check the situation, after all, breaking in through a window was less difficult than breaking in through a door. Unexpectedly, what was waiting for him would be the picture of Sur scratching his head and posing to the female ghost.
At this moment, the female ghost posted Zhang Fu and shrank in the corner and shook her head frantically. There were more wounds at the corner of her festering mouth, and she looked pitiful.
Sur justified his name: "These are all appearances, she just pulled Ge Xuyan's tongue alive last night."
Ji Heng turned a deaf ear and walked to the female ghost. Instead of asking about the Li family's information, he asked a rather strange question: "Are there any other people of your kind in town?"
The female ghost grinned at the corners of her bloody mouth and made a threatening expression.
Ji Heng pointed at Sur: "Or I will let him come to the trial."
The female ghost was silent for a moment, then shook her head sharply.
Ji Heng repeated the question, this time the female ghost nodded quickly, indicating that there is a similar kind.
Ji Heng: "Is Li Youzun your father?"
The female ghost continued to nod.
Ji Heng: "What happened before you died?"
The female ghost opened her mouth and stuck out a long tongue, unable to pronounce it normally.
Sur reminded: "It's not that you still have a hand, write it down."
Since this hand can dig out the tongue, it should also be able to hold the pen.
After speaking, I actually found half a pencil from the drawer.
The description of the female ghost is not much different from the rumors. After the incident, the family regarded her as a shame, and the people in the town also talked about it. She couldn't bear to choose to commit suicide.
When Ji Heng lowered his eyes to think, the light on the talisman paper gradually dissipated, and the female ghost felt the power returning to her body. She didn't hesitate to seize the time, her nails became longer and jabbed at the eyes of the person in front of her. Ji Heng didn't even look at it, raised his palm and pushed it forward, the female ghost's movements stopped a few centimeters away from the target.
For the force value, the booklet only indirectly wrote a sentence: more than 150 can slightly distort the space to deal with ghosts. Only when he really saw this scene did Suer know how incredible it was.
Seeing that the female ghost's body gradually became nothing, Sur frowned: "Is there any way to deprive her of her power and keep her soul. After researching the charm value, I will send it away."
The eyes that had only been resentful suddenly showed panic.
Ji Heng took a deep look at him and did not hold back. In the moment before the female ghost dissipated, he reached out and closed the pair of eyes that could not dissipate resentment, and said in a low voice: "Go in peace, I hope there will be no Sur in hell."
"… "
The author has something to say: Sur: Please, keep her.
Female Ghost: Please, let me go.
Ji Heng: … Rest in peace.
