The first person who went to No. 444 Ye's House to broadcast the adventure live was said to be crazy, but in fact he has been cured. He was just crazy for about two years before he gradually woke up. Chen Yang and his friends were going to visit this person. He lived alone in an old residential building.
When Chen Yang rang the doorbell, a thin man came to open the door. Standing at the door, the thin man asked them, "Who are you looking for?"
"He Tao."
"That's me. What do you want from me?"
After Chen Yang and Du Shuo looked at each other, they said to He Tao, "We are here to inquire about No. 444 of the Ye Family Residence."
He Tao stared at them silently and gloomily for a while. Just when Chen Yang thought he would slam the door, he stepped back and made room: "Come in."
Chen Yang and the other person walked in. He Tao closed the door behind them and sat on the sofa without paying attention to them. The room was very dark, with instant noodles piled on the table and old movies and TV series playing on the computer. Chen Yang also noticed that there were talismans posted in the corners of the room and a statue of Guandi in the corner.
After a long while, He Tao spoke: "I advise you not to be curious, not to play around, and not to go to No. 444 Ye's House. Don't offend those things. Even if you don't believe in ghosts and gods, you should still be in awe of these unknown things."
Chen Yang went straight to the point: "What did you encounter at No. 444 of Ye's House?"
He Tao recalled what happened at that time, and a slight fluctuation appeared on his numb face, which was despair and fear. He stared at Chen Yang: "If you don't want to die, don't go! Don't go!!"
His mood was unstable and he was a little crazy. It seemed that the two years in the sanatorium had not allowed him to fully recover, and he would still be emotionally unstable when encountering things that stimulated him.
Chen Yang didn't know whether it was the right decision to ask him for clues. If he didn't come, he might miss the clues and cause more people to die. So he waited for He Tao to calm down before saying, "There was a college student who followed your example and went to Ye's house to broadcast his adventure live. He died."
He Tao froze: "How did he die?"
"How do you think he died?"
He Tao stared at the table and blurted out four words: "The punishment of vertical eyes."
He really knew something. But what puzzled Chen Yang was how did He Tao know about the punishment of vertical eyes? After all, no one died when the live broadcast of the expedition took place. The only supernatural incident was when the screen suddenly went black halfway through the live broadcast. Others screamed, and He Tao went crazy.
He Tao sneered: "Do you think we had no casualties during that live broadcast?"
Chen Yang: "What do you mean?"
"There were seven of us that time." He Tao's smile turned into tears: "In the end, I was the only one left alive."
Chen Yang's pupils shrank: "Six people died, and there was no movement at all?"
"No. It's as if they all disappeared from the face of the earth. The six dead people had their traces of their lives erased day by day. Even their parents don't remember them, so who would remember their deaths?" He Tao said with sadness: "I am the only one who remembers."
He stood up and took out a photo from under the table. The photo was taken during the day, with a two-story building behind him that looked quite old. There were seven people in the photo, all young college students.
"This is Liu Xiaojun, this is Mai Rong, she speaks harshly, but she is actually very loyal. This is Chai Ming..." He Tao named the six people in the photo one by one, feeling quite sad: "Now I am the only one who remembers them. Every time I mention them, others think I am having a psychotic hallucination. Only I know that this is not the case. They did exist, but no one else remembers them. Only I, who participated in No. 444 Yejiazhai, still remember them."
"What's going on? Are they all in trouble because of No. 444 of the Ye Family Residence?"
He Tao recalled the night two years ago, and the memory was particularly vivid, and the fear still penetrated deep into his bones. He described the events of that night in detail, and even Chen Yang felt scared, probably because it reminded him of the horror of being haunted by ghosts before he was sixteen.
He Tao's previous association wanted to do a filming project, but they couldn't decide what to film. So someone suggested filming the top ten horror legends in Shen City and broadcast them to the Internet through live broadcast.
Everyone thought this was a good idea, especially when they found that their number of fans increased dramatically after live streaming a horror project. Their popularity gradually increased as they live-streamed places rumored to be haunted. When the live broadcast of the top ten horror legends in Shen City was about to end, it was the turn of Ye's House No. 444.
At that time, He Tao and the others were still making fun of it. How come No. 444 of the Ye Family Residence was listed among the top ten horror legends in Shen City but had such a low sense of existence? It was probably not explosive. Should we create some horror effects
So they broadcast a ghost summoning game in a room at No. 444 of Ye's House, where someone was said to have died, but of course nothing was summoned. After they dispersed casually, the seven people also dispersed. He Tao was still broadcasting live in the room downstairs while introducing the three murders of families at No. 444 of Ye's House. Then he heard the screams of his companions, and then the nightmare began.
He Tao covered his face in pain. "I was downstairs and didn't know what happened to them. When I was about to leave the room to see what happened, I suddenly noticed a rustling sound above my head. I took the light of my mobile phone and shone it over a little bit. I was shocked to find that right above my head, a naked woman was staring at me. Her facial features were almost blank, and there was a vertical eye on her forehead."
He Tao was so scared that he went crazy. When he thought about how he had been alone in the room for so long, and there was something watching him from above, he was so frightened that his heart and liver were about to burst. He crawled out of the room, but found that his classmates had died miserably.
A wooden stake was stuck into one of Mai Rong's eyes. The long, protruding stake looked like a deformed eye. Her face was covered in blood. She stumbled in and pushed He Tao into the closet, saying to him, "Don't make a sound. Don't come out. You didn't commit any crime... You'll be fine."
Then a tall figure appeared, with a terrifying bronze mask on his face. He grabbed Mailong and pressed her to the ground, holding a wooden stake in one hand and a hammer in the other, and slowly drove the stake into Mailong's other eye.
Mai Rong screamed miserably, struggled in agony, but died in the end. She knelt facing north, blood gushing from her eyes, and the two wooden stakes looked like deformed eyes.
He Tao rolled his eyes in fear. When the tall figure left, he came out of the closet and found his companion who died in the same way. Then he ran out of No. 444 Ye's house and called for help. When he came back, there was only blood all over the floor, and no body of his companion.
The police came and initially identified him as the murderer. Later, they diagnosed him as suffering from psychotic hallucinations. Later, they all forgot about Mai Rong and the others and believed that He Tao was the only one who entered No. 444 of Ye's house.
He Tao was sent to a sanatorium for two years. When he came out two years later, he was depressed, but he still looked up a lot of information about No. 444 Ye’s House and the deaths of Mai Rong and others.
"That is the punishment given by the Three-Eyed Ghost Clan to those who offend the Vertical-Eyed God. The Three-Eyed Ghost Clan also calls themselves the Vertical-Eyed Clan, and they have an abnormal worship of eyes. They have three eyes and like to wear vertical-eye bronze masks."
Chen Yang: "Are you sure they all have three eyes?"
He remembered Dushuo saying that no one in the world is born with three eyes. If not, in his opinion, it must be something like a forehead ornament. Some witch cults and wizards would stick a forehead ornament with an eye pattern on their foreheads, or draw an eye on their foreheads to show that it was the eye of heaven.
"The people with vertical eyes do have three eyes, but they rarely appear in front of people and have always lived in seclusion away from people. Some historical books have records of this, and the most recent historical books record that in the 30th year of the Guangxu period, someone saw more than 20 people with three eyes in Jincheng. The third eye is not innate, but a manufactured one."
He Tao brought a lot of information and placed it in front of Chen Yang. Chen Yang picked it up and looked at it. He turned to the information about the three eyes of the vertical eye people, which recorded the origin of the vertical eye people's third eye.
It turns out that the Vertical Eyed people worship eyes so much that they would cut a hole in the forehead of their tribesmen when they were young and put a black bead in it. Over time, a crack in the forehead appeared, and the black bead was contained in the crack, making it look like an eye standing vertically.
Chen Yang turned the page, and the next page was about the origin of Yejiazhai No. 444. The first tragedy at Yejiazhai No. 444 happened 70 or 80 years ago, and the victims were a family of four.
According to the testimony of the surrounding residents, the deceased's male owner's surname was Ye, and his family was particularly religious. They believed in the Luozu religion, which was quite powerful among the people at that time. From today's point of view, it is a cult.
Luozujiao was founded during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It believed in the principle of non-intervention and was a very important folk sect during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. The famous White Lotus Sect took Luozujiao as its Taoist founder and believed in Luozu's non-intervention and non-intervention. Luozujiao also worshipped Wusheng Laomu, a deity created by its own sect. It was regarded as the supreme goddess and believed that she was the creator and savior of the world.
Later it was refuted as a cult by orthodox Buddhism.
The first male owner of No. 444 Yejiazhai was a family of four, all of whom were followers of the Luozu sect. At first, their murder was defined as a conflict between followers and the sect. After that, the case was left unresolved.
The second and third cases of family massacre at No. 444 Yejiazhai have one thing in common, that is, all the family members are followers of Luozuism.
"What's the relationship between Luozu Sect and the Three-eyed Ghost Clan?" Chen Yang was puzzled. How could a cult that believed in governing by doing nothing impose the punishment of the Three-eyed Ghost Clan on others just because they offended the Zongmu God
Du Shuo took the information from Chen Yang, flipped through a few pages and said, "Luo Zu Sect created its own doctrines and gods. Some of its followers are quite extreme and may exclude and deny other sects, thus offending the Zongmu God and being retaliated against."
Based on the extreme behavior of some local followers of the Luozu sect and the sect's overly distorted doctrines, Chen Yang felt that Du Shuo's statement was more reliable. The two families who later moved into No. 444 of Ye's house were also followers of the Luozu sect, and they denied that it was possible that the Zongmu God was being retaliated against.
If the above assumptions are true, then we need to know whether the person who carried out the punishment was actually a member of the Three-Eyed Ghost Clan. In other words, what was the tall figure wearing a bronze mask that attacked He Tao? Why were all traces of the people he killed in the world of the living wiped out
He Tao: "This is all I found out. As for the tall monster wearing a bronze mask, I can't find out anything. There is no information at all, but I know that he is still hiding in No. 444 of the Ye family residence."
"Do you know how the murdered man offended the Eye God?"
"Profanity, insults, disrespect."
"Too general." Chen Yang shook his head. "It's impossible that there would be an act of blasphemy against the God of Long Eyes for no apparent reason, unless... you didn't go to the second floor, but your companions did, right?"
He Tao nodded hesitantly.
Chen Yang said he understood. Then he stood up and left with Du Shuo, and they went downstairs again by stairs. Du Shuo turned on the flashlight on his mobile phone to illuminate the stairs for Chen Yang, and listened to him talk about his doubts.
Suddenly, a dull sound came from the roof, followed by a series of loud noises. Chen Yang paused, took out his cell phone, turned on the flashlight, and ran upstairs quickly: "I'll go up and take a look."
Chen Yang walked quickly, and when he stepped onto the corridor, he found that the entire corridor had fallen into an unusually quiet state. All the doors were tightly closed, as if they were isolated in another space. He kicked open He Tao's door, and the room was in a mess.
The sound came from He Tao's bedroom. Chen Yang ran to the door, only to see a twisted woman's body climbing on the ceiling. Her long hair tightly wrapped around He Tao. Her two hands were very long, holding a wooden stake and a hammer respectively, and were about to hammer He Tao's eyes.
Chen Yang untied the red rope on his wrist and threw it towards the woman on the ceiling. The woman felt pain and let go of He Tao. She then stared at Chen Yang with hatred and suddenly opened her mouth, making a snake-like mouth and a hissing sound.
The long hair seemed to have life and crawled towards Chen Yang, trying to wrap around his ankles. Chen Yang dodged the long hair, ran inside, grabbed He Tao and pushed him out of the bedroom, then stepped on a chair and nimbly jumped to the top of the wardrobe, turned around and threw the red rope with a copper coin wrapped around one end to the woman on the ceiling.
While the woman was moving her head, the red rope was wrapped around her neck and wrapped around several times. A strand of hair came towards his face, and Chen Yang did a backflip and landed on the ground, with the hair poking through the wall. Chen Yang took a glance and ran towards the bedroom door, pulling the red rope.
The long-haired woman couldn't break free from the red rope, and the copper coin at one end of the red rope was pressed tightly against her neck, and the Yang Qi on it burned her skin, causing her endless pain and making a hissing sound.
Chen Yang ran out, and the long-haired woman simply rushed towards Chen Yang with her long hair covering the whole house. The long-haired woman suddenly appeared in front of Chen Yang, almost face to face.
He Tao stood up with great effort, and seeing this, he shouted, "Don't stare at her third eye."
However, it was too late. Chen Yang was facing the third eye of the long-haired woman. The long-haired woman's facial features were very small. If you didn't look closely, you would almost think that her facial features were blank, just a big white dough. However, the third eye was slightly larger than that of a normal person. It was closed before, but now it suddenly opened.
Chen Yang was in a trance for a moment, and when he came back to himself, he found himself buried in Du Shuo's chest. He shook his head and finally woke up, then popped his head out of Du Shuo's arms to look for the long-haired woman.
The long-haired woman was found huddled in a corner, tied up with chains. The chains were tightening, almost twisting her body, but no sound of bones breaking could be heard from her body.
From the way she stretched out her hands just now, we can tell that the woman has no bones in her body—no, maybe there are still bones in her head.
After Chen Yang stood still, he said, "Brother Du, let her go first. I want to ask her a few questions." As he spoke, he looked up and saw Du Shuo's cold and terrifying expression, which frightened him so much that he immediately fell silent.
"Du, Du brother?"
He called out cautiously, and Du Shuo seemed angry.
Du Shuo glanced at Chen Yang calmly, pulled him behind him, and took a step forward. "Do you have a knife?"
He Tao was stunned for a moment: "There are only watermelon knives and kitchen knives."
"Bring it here."
For some reason, He Tao felt that Du Shuo was more terrifying now. In fact, when he met Chen Yang just now, he hardly noticed Du Shuo. Du Shuo's appearance and aura were more outstanding, but it was as if there was a layer of fog covering him.
Unless Du Shuo himself wants to be noticed, others will ignore him without noticing.
He Tao didn't know whether Du Shuo wanted a kitchen knife or a watermelon knife, so he simply handed both to him. Du Shuo picked up a watermelon knife and walked towards the long-haired woman. He walked a few steps and stopped, then looked back at Chen Yang: "Stand still."
Chen Yang said obediently: "Oh."
Brother Du is angry, he has to behave well.
He Tao walked up to Chen Yang and said, "You were in danger just now. You were almost pierced through the eye. Fortunately, your companions arrived in time."
Chen Yang lowered his eyes, and in his mind he raised Du Shuo's anger level to the highest threshold. He had to coax him well.
The long-haired girl retreated in fear when she saw Du Shuo coming. Du Shuo stepped on the top of the long-haired girl's head, pushed aside her hair on her back, raised his machete and chopped her down expressionlessly and mercilessly.
Chen Yang and He Tao stretched their necks to take a peek, and happened to see the back of the long-haired woman who had parted her hair. They were horrified to find that the long-haired woman's back was extremely deformed, with tumors growing on it. Upon closer inspection, they found that those tumors were actually human heads. Those heads were still groaning in pain.
He Tao's face turned pale. He only now realized what the rustling sound he heard before was. He originally thought it was the sound of the long-haired woman crawling by, but now he realized that it was the groaning of the head on her back.
That scene was too disgusting. He Tao couldn't help but retching a few times and turned his eyes away, not wanting to watch anymore. On the other side, Du Shuo had already chopped off the tumor on the long-haired woman's back. Every time he chopped off one, the long-haired woman screamed extremely miserably. But she didn't dare to struggle, and could only scream while the tumor was chopped off until it disappeared.
He Tao was impressed to see Chen Yang looking calm. Chen Yang waved his hand to say that this was nothing, he had seen worse things before. He Tao was even more impressed, he asked: "What on earth is that long-haired girl?"
"Female resentment."
"ah?"
"As the saying goes: infatuated men and resentful women. Men and women who died because of love have a lot of resentment. Female resentment refers to women who died because of love and were extremely painful before death, which resulted in a strong accumulation of resentment. After forming, female resentment likes to eat corpses, especially corpses that died of fear, because the resentment is very strong." Chen Yang explained: "I guess that the bodies of your companions and the bodies of the other two families who lived in No. 444 of Ye's residence but died disappeared, and they should have been eaten by female resentment."
When mentioning his companions, He Tao looked gloomy.
Seeing this, Chen Yang said: "If you want to kill the female ghost, you have to chop off the tumors with human heads on her body. Those tumors with human heads are the souls of the corpses she has eaten. As long as you chop them off, the souls can be separated and can be reincarnated."
He Tao: "Mai Rong and the others can still be reincarnated, right?"
"yes."
"Can I... meet them?"
Chen Yang didn't say anything, just nodded.
Du Shuo threw away the machete, turned around and walked towards Chen Yang.
Chen Yang took a few steps forward, paused, and looked at Du Shuo's hands. Very good, no blood. So he happily threw himself into Du Shuo's arms, "Brother Du, I'm glad you're by my side."
Du Shuo embraced Chen Yang, smiled and said softly: "It's no use saying nice things. Have you forgotten everything I taught you? You knew there was a problem with the third eye, but you didn't take it into consideration when you were fighting. Reflect on it when you go back."
Chen Yang realized that it was useless to say nice things, so he just leaned into Du Shuo's arms and said nothing. He secretly hoped that Du Shuo would calm down quickly, and it would be best if he would forget about it after returning.
On the other side, He Tao saw his former companions and burst into tears. He felt very sorry that everyone was dead and he was the only one alive. He also knew that if his dead companions had not dragged the long-haired girl, he would have been killed by the long-haired girl. How could he have waited for Chen Yang and the others to come and rescue him
He Tao's companion looked at him quietly, without saying forgiveness or words of comfort. He just smiled, then walked up to hug him and left.
The room returned to silence. He Tao looked up and asked Chen Yang: "Will they be reincarnated?"
Chen Yang couldn't say that even if he entered the underworld, he wouldn't necessarily be able to reincarnate, but the other party's companions weren't extremely evil people, so they should be able to reincarnate. So he nodded and said, "You can pray for them and accumulate virtue."
He Tao nodded: "I will!"
Chen Yang: "Forget about what happened at No. 444 of the Ye Family Residence. Start your life anew."
He Tao nodded, covering his face and sobbing.
Chen Yang and Du Shuo left, and this time it was smooth. However, Du Shuo was silent all the way, with a cold expression, and it was obvious that he was still angry. Chen Yang looked up, stared at Du Shuo's profile for a long time, and then said softly: "Brother Du, I was wrong."
Du Shuo responded: "Yeah."
"Brother Du, it's not that I didn't consider it. It's just that I'm not afraid because I think you're by my side."
Du Shuo didn't say anything, which meant that Chen Yang still had a chance to convince him and calm him down.
"If you're not by my side, I really won't let my guard down. Brother Du, I feel safe only when you're with me, really." Chen Yang stood on tiptoe and kissed Du Shuo's chin, saying sincerely and flatteringly, "Trust me, husband."
Du Shuo narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hand that was around Chen Yang's shoulders changed to stroking his neck.
Having been married to Dushuo for six years, Chen Yang knew that this was a sign that Dushuo was in a good mood. Because Dushuo loved to hear Chen Yang call him "husband", Chen Yang felt it was too embarrassing and never took the initiative to call him that.
"Scream again."
"husband."
Du Shuo narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "Reflect on yourself after you go back."
"Are you still angry?"
"Once you have consolidated your skills, you won't have to write a self-review."
"… oh."
Wrong.
The author has something to say: The emperor is very powerful now, but it is hard to say what will happen in the future.
ps:
1. It won't happen so quickly. It will happen when the time comes.
2. Haha, I really like the nutrient solution. I'm just too embarrassed to ask for it, and if I were to thank everyone, the list would be too long.
