Chen Yang heard the noise downstairs and involuntarily let go of his hand and wanted to go downstairs to check the situation. Wei Zhizhi took the opportunity to break free from his hand and escape, but was caught again after running two or three steps. Wei Zhizhi found that she couldn't run away, so she simply stopped running and turned around to laugh. The laughter was very clear. It seemed particularly strange in the silent corridor and the screams of the woman downstairs. She said, "Do you want to play with me?"
Chen Yang looked at Wei Zhizhi quietly. His gentle and calm gaze gradually made Wei Zhizhi stop laughing. He said, "Zhizhi, enough is enough."
Wei Zhizhi tilted her head. She should have looked innocent, but she looked extremely strange because of the purple scars, cold body temperature and ashen skin. She raised her head to let Chen Yang see the marks on her neck: "Did you see it? They said this was the cause of my death."
Chen Yang's expression changed. He reached out to touch the mark and asked softly and gently, "Does it hurt?"
Wei Zhizhi's eyes, which were clear black and white, were innocent and naive. Suddenly, she smiled, and then became cunning the next second: "Hehehe, I was just kidding you. You're so easy to fool. Who told you not to play with me?" She turned around and ran to the door of the children's room. She stopped and pressed her index finger under her eyes and pulled it down, making a naughty and mocking gesture: "Lululu, Chen Xiaoyang is so stupid."
She ran into the children's room with a smile on her face and closed the door, blocking out all the sounds. Chen Yang was the only one left in the corridor. Deathly silence swept across the entire second floor at lightning speed. It was quiet and deathly silent. Not even the sound of breathing could be heard. Chen Yang took three or four steps, and the scene in front of him suddenly distorted.
The entire corridor was twisted, and all the objects were shaking violently, as if there was an earthquake. The heavy clock-like decorations placed in the corner, the paintings and photo frames hanging on the wall, the porcelain, potted plants, etc. fell to the ground, making a loud crackling sound. The corridor seemed to be closing, and the patterns on the wall twisted into a vortex shape, and finally gradually twisted into countless human figures.
These figures seemed like evil spirits, roaring and struggling, and as the walls closed on both sides, they tried to catch Chen Yang, tear off his arms, rip off his legs, break off his head, drive his body into the sand and throw it in the rain, and let the land collapse to bury his broken bones, so that he would never see the sun. Finally, drive his soul to hell, where he would spend eternity in wailing and pain, day after day, and the punishment would never end.
Chen Yang was in a trance for a moment. He heard these meanings from the noisy voices roaring in his ears. The stairs were still some distance away. At least it was impossible for him to run out before the two walls closed. He touched the copper coin string on his arm and was about to tear it off to turn it into a copper coin sword when he saw the door of the children's room suddenly open. Wei Zhizhi screamed at the corridor with a cold and clean little face.
The sound was so harsh that even Chen Yang felt his ears sting for a moment. But it was precisely because of this long and sharp cry that the corridor returned to normal in an instant. Chen Yang looked closely and saw that the corridor had returned to normal and was as quiet as before. He looked towards the children's room, but the door was closed and Wei Zhizhi was not there at all.
It seemed as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion, but Chen Yang knew it was not an illusion. He stood there in silence for a long while, and finally returned to his room.
At noon, several people gathered in Chen Yang's room to discuss. Mao Xiaoli patted her chest and said, "Do you know that Xu Yue fell from upstairs and broke his leg?"
Kou Xuanling: "Who is Xu Yue?"
"Wei Jie's wife has been hiding in the room and hasn't come out. It is said that she has been afraid to step out of the room because she saw a ghost before. Today, she broke her leg as soon as she stepped out of the room. She suffered the same leg injury as Wei Jie. I don't know if the couple's behavior is synchronized." Mao Xiaoli said.
Chen Yang: "Tell me in detail about the ghost she saw before... Did you find out clearly?"
"Of course there was. As soon as I heard it, I felt that there must be a problem, and I had already found out." Mao Xiaoli said proudly: "Wei Jie and Xu Yue live on the second floor. The former always hears a lot of noisy noises in the corridor, and Xu Yue woke up in the middle of the night one day and heard someone running around outside the corridor. At first, she thought it was Wei Zhizhi who refused to sleep and got up and ran around in the middle of the night. Because Wei Zhizhi did not sleep in the middle of the night before, got up and ran around to tease others. Xu Yue roared, and the sound stopped. After a while, it sounded one after another, which angered Xu Yue."
Xu Yue put on her pajamas and opened the door to see an empty corridor. The noisy sound stopped abruptly. She closed the door and the sound reappeared. She believed that Wei Zhizhi was causing trouble, so she opened the door angrily and searched for the place where Wei Zhizhi usually hid. She made a lot of noise and finally found the source of the sound in the decoration that looked like a clock.
She opened the clock angrily, but she didn't know what she saw, and she screamed in fear. After that, no matter what others asked, she kept silent and hid in the room. If Wei Jie hadn't been injured, she probably wouldn't have left the room.
After finishing her speech, Mao Xiaoli propped her chin with both hands and said, "From the description, I can tell that Wei Zhizhi is really a naughty child. Tell me what she was thinking when she couldn't sleep and ran and screamed in the corridor in the middle of the night? If it were me, I would definitely be so angry that I would give her a lesson. But look at Wei Guangming and Qi Yin, one of them is full of collections, and the other only cares about Wei Guangming's feelings. Neither of them cares about their children. The father doesn't care, and the mother doesn't teach, so Wei Zhizhi will continue to be a naughty child."
"Xu Yue was frightened last time, but for some reason she agreed to play games with those 'people' this time. In the end, she was not frightened by those 'people', but was frightened by Wei Zhizhi and broke her leg." Kou Xuanling shook her head, obviously keeping a distance from Wei Zhizhi, the naughty child: "Even after all this, no one has taught Wei Zhizhi a lesson. And she is only five years old, and she can think of dressing herself up as a corpse and hiding herself in a clock to scare people. To be honest, any normal person would be frightened by this."
Zhang Qiu said, "Wei Zhizhi played such a prank, but Wei Guangming and Qi Yin were not angry?"
Mao Xiaoli: "I was angry, but Wei Guangming received a call saying that someone wanted to see the painting "Grotesque", so he left behind the matter of Wei Zhizhi and his eldest son and daughter-in-law. As for Qi Yin, I seemed relieved to see her."
Kou Xuanling: "Wei Jie and his wife live downstairs and would never go back to the second floor. Xu Yue looked terrified and was sleeping after taking a sedative. We couldn't get any useful information from her. As for Wei Jie, he kept roaring angrily. Unless Wei Zhizhi was sent away, he would never go back to the second floor to sleep. Doctor Hao and his assistant didn't want to get involved in other people's family affairs, so they didn't say anything. Wei Mianmian was busy trying to please Wei Guangming and didn't care about her half-sister and half-brother. Wei Xiaoxiao remained silent and there was no ripple. This family is really indifferent. Wei Jie and his wife were injured, but no one was worried about the consequences. They all cared about themselves."
Lu Xiuzhi held his hand and said, "The human heart is scarier than a ghost."
Zhang Qiudao said coldly: "Evil ghosts are more terrifying than human hearts, because when they were alive, they had a more terrifying human heart than ghosts." He glanced at the hands of Lu Xiuzhi and Kou Xuanling, and deep down he was a little jealous. A straight man and an old antique were actually in love, and he was still at a stage where he would definitely be laughed at for pursuing her.
Lu Xiuzhi and Kou Xuanling looked at Zhang Qiudao in surprise, and then looked at Mao Xiaoli together. Mao Xiaoli was puzzled: "Why are you looking at me?" So the two of them turned their eyes to Zhang Qiudao, full of sympathy and comfort.
Chen Yang tried to smooth things over, advising Kou Xuanling and Lu Xiuzhi: "Be kind." Didn't Lu Xiuzhi pursue Kou Xuanling so hard that he finally made a steel pipe bend straight? Now that he has succeeded in wooing her, can he maliciously sympathize with the poor single boy
Hearing this, Kou Xuanling and Zhang Qiudao glanced at Chen Yang in unison: "Director Chen, you are the least qualified to say this."
Chen Yang spread his hands: "I'm married anyway." He's not single, and he can face any show calmly, and he doesn't change his expression and is extremely calm. So he doesn't need to be kind, because even if the situation changes, it won't be to him.
Mao Xiaoli interrupted: "What are you talking about? I don't understand."
Chen Yang said lovingly: "Single dogs don't understand, but you will understand in the future."
Mao Xiaoli was immediately hit hard, lying on the chair with her head in her hands, dazed: "I still have a 10-centimeter-thick blind date book, all of them are excellent men. It doesn't matter, I'm not jealous or sad."
Zhang Qiudao said gloomily: "Brother Chen, you must be kind."
Chen Yang hummed a little tune. Who asked them to show off in front of him these days? They showed off whenever they wanted. They haven’t even officially gotten together yet. What’s the point of showing off?! Hmm? Together? He suddenly raised his head and glanced at Kou Xuanling and Lu Xiuzhi with a shining gaze: “Did you two achieve your goal?”
Kou Xuanling: "We just started dating officially."
Lu Xiuzhi added: "On the premise of marriage." It might not work to get on the bus first and buy the ticket later, because he didn't expect Kou Xuanling's unexpectedly pure and traditional love. But on second thought, it's pretty good, which means that they won't get divorced easily after marriage.
Mao Xiaoli clapped her hands: "Congratulations." After a few seconds, she put her hands together, moved her palms a few times, and nodded her chin: "Hmm?"
Kou Xuanling: “Huh?”
Lu Xiuzhi shook his head: "No."
Mao Xiaoli said contemptuously: "Slow down."
Chen Yang flicked Mao Xiaoli's forehead with his finger: "Dirty."
Zhang Qiudao tilted his chin and stared at Mao Xiaoli's back thoughtfully. Dislike it being too slow? That means he likes a fast pace. Apart from his endurance, he felt that his own conditions were still in line with the situation. When Lu Xiuzhi heard Mao Xiaoli's disdain, he also showed a thoughtful expression. After Kou Xuanling reacted, he felt that he was disliked so much, was it really because he was too conservative? So he also fell into deep thought.
Chen Yang was helpless and clapped his hands to bring everyone back to their senses: "Let's get back to the point. Stop making trouble. Xiaoli and Qiudao, you two don't need to investigate Wei Zhizhi's affairs. Pay attention to the painting in the collection room. As for Lao Kou... you two should see if you can understand the runes on the wall. I found that those patterns are not ordinary patterns. They should be some kind of evil-suppressing runes. If you know the meaning and function of these runes, you can probably figure out some things."
"The Wei family members all look very strange. They always feel that the strange things happening in the collection hall are related to them." Mao Xiaoli said.
Chen Yang: "I know they are weird, but they will definitely not tell us easily. There are no servants in the collection hall except Dr. Hao and his assistant, so there is no way to know anything else. Anyway, under the premise of ensuring their safety, we should first find out what happened in the collection hall."
At this point, the general matters were explained, so Chen Yang said to adjourn the meeting. Several people left, but Kou Xuanling stayed and said to Zhang Qiudao: "I want to ask Director Chen some private matters."
Zhang Qiudao immediately left the room and closed the door considerately. Kou Xuanling twitched her lips, and as soon as the door closed, she met Chen Yang's questioning gaze, and her expression became serious: "Are you hiding something else from us?"
"What do you mean?"
"If you hadn't concealed anything, you would have directly denied it instead of asking back. Chen Xiaoyang, do you know anything else?"
Chen Yang: "What did Lu Xiuzhi tell you?"
"How do you know he would tell me something?" Seeing Chen Yang's teasing eyes, Kou Xuanling moved his body slightly uncomfortably and knocked on the table: "You almost succeeded in changing the subject. He did tell me some things about this collection hall. He said that so far, the cause of death of the security guards was greed. He also told me not to interfere in the affairs of the Wei family. Do you know why?"
Chen Yang: "The wronged spirits are seeking revenge, the living should stay away."
"It seems you know. Ah Zhi said that the ghost who wanted to take his life holds the Fengdu amnesty token, and we can't interfere." Kou Xuanling said: "I know this, so you can tell me what you are hiding."
Chen Yang held his forehead and told him what happened in the corridor this morning. After listening, Kou Xuanling was silent for a while, and finally said, "I know."
After Kou Xuanling left, Chen Yang stared at the rain outside the window. The depressing and gloomy sky foreshadowed something ominous. He sighed heavily and murmured, "You have done many evil things, and you will be punished."
In the afternoon, everyone was taking a nap. Because in such a dull and gloomy weather, there was no network or signal, and the only way to get through the long day was to sleep. But the screams downstairs broke the dead silence of the entire collection hall. Chen Yang opened his eyes immediately, put on his coat, looked at Zhang Qiudao, and walked out of the door. Kou Xuanling and Lu Xiuzhi, who were opposite, also opened the door together, and the four of them went downstairs.
When he reached the stairs, Chen Yang glanced at the children's room, and the door was closed. He quickly retracted his gaze and hurried downstairs. Downstairs, he saw the door was open, and there were thunder and lightning outside. The strong wind blew the heavy rain into the hall. Wei Xiaoxiao turned her back to them and fell to the door, screaming. In front of her was a doctor named Hao, whose limbs were tied and hung on the door. Doctor Hao's neck was broken and his facial features were horrified.
Mao Xiaoli took Wei Xiaoxiao aside to comfort her. The latter was still in shock but no longer screaming, but her face was still pale. Wei Guangming, Wei Mianmian and Feng Ping came over after hearing the noise and were also surprised to see this scene. Wei Mianmian showed a frightened look, and Feng Ping also felt scared after he recovered from his surprise.
Chen Yang walked to the door and looked at the hemp rope that was used to hang Dr. Hao. The rope was very old. He said, "The wronged soul is seeking revenge." Then they took down Dr. Hao's body and placed it in the middle of the hall. Dr. Hao's assistant wanted to call the police, but Wei Guangming firmly refused.
Wei Guangming said, "Since it is the wronged ghost who is seeking revenge, then he deserves it. Wouldn't calling the police mean that they should come over to investigate? Every piece of the collection in my museum is valuable. With so many people coming in and out, what if one gets lost? It won't matter to me if the collection outside gets lost, but what if the collection above the third floor gets lost? Who would I ask to compensate? Anyway, I can't call the police."
Of course the assistant refused. Dr. Hao was killed innocently. If he didn't call the police, he would have no way to explain himself. So he insisted on calling the police, but there was no signal and he couldn't dial through. So the assistant decided to drive away from here. Feng Ping followed him and shouted as he ran: "The wronged ghosts are here to take our lives. Wouldn't it be stupid not to run away and stay here? This is already a gloomy place, and it has to house those dead bodies and human skin portraits. Whoever wants to live here can live here. Anyway, I don't dare to live here. If you don't want to die, leave quickly."
"Feng Ping!" Wei Mianmian called Feng Ping in a shrill voice, and the latter walked towards the garage. She smiled at Wei Guangming awkwardly: "Dad, look, I, Feng Ping... I have to go and see him. You know his personality. He gets irritable when I'm not around. I'll go first..."
Wei Guangming's eyes were cold: "Go ahead." Wei Mianmian quickly said a few polite words and left, her back seemed a little anxious. Therefore, no one heard Wei Guangming's low hum: "Let's talk about it when you can leave."
Wei Guangming asked Chen Yang: "Master Chen, will the ghost who killed Dr. Hao be angry with us?"
"If there is no relationship, there will be no anger."
Wei Guangming quickly asked Wei Xiaoxiao: "Xiaoxiao, what did you see when you opened the door?"
Wei Xiaoxiao's face was pale, her eyes flickering with fear: "I saw a white shadow passing by the window, and I thought there was someone outside, so I opened the door. But I didn't expect to see Dr. Hao's body. I was so scared that—"
"Do you know that white shadow?"
"I didn't see it. I didn't see it."
Wei Guangming was unhappy, but he couldn't blame Wei Xiaoxiao, so he just said, "Could it be the white shadow that Doctor Hao saw? Master Chen, didn't you say that it was a wandering ghost in the mountains?"
Chen Yang said, "Mr. Wei, what I heard about the white shadow was all told to you by Dr. Hao. If you have concealed something or did not see it clearly, I cannot tell you the exact purpose of the ghost. Besides, ghosts that seek death are rare, and most of them are harmless wandering ghosts. Mr. Wei, if you do not do anything wrong, you will not be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Even ghosts looking for a substitute cannot enter a house where people live, unless Dr. Hao is bewitched by a ghost. People who are bewitched by ghosts are mostly guilty or lusty."
Wei Guangming was choked up, thought for a moment and said, "But when the evil spirits harmed people, didn't you notice it?"
Chen Yang said meaningfully: "I think Mr. Wei must not know that this collection hall is full of ghosts."
As soon as these words came out, Qi Yin beside Wei Guangming got goose bumps all over her body, and Wei Xiaoxiao also began to tremble uncontrollably. Wei Guangming's face turned pale, and he couldn't stand these words.
Half an hour later, the assistant who left, Feng Ping and Wei Mianmian were soaked and came back in a mess. Feng Ping's eyes were filled with despair: "We can't leave."
The author has something to say: I have something to do this afternoon, so there will still be a second update, but it will probably be later.
There is not only one wronged ghost in this chapter, and the murderer is not necessarily the wronged ghost. But some people were killed because of the same thing, that is, they all participated in it. But they were not necessarily killed by the same ghost.
You may be confused at the beginning, but the answers will be given later. If you are really confused, you can read this chapter first, and then you won’t be confused when you read it together.
In addition, thanks for the nutrient solution and mine feeding.
