Chapter 321 No motivation to live anymore
The sports car drove slowly along the mountain road, heading towards Huangshan Village near Kowloon. As the high-rise buildings gradually receded, the road conditions began to get worse.
As a last resort, Liao Wenjie found a crooked-neck tree, pulled over and took Saeko Nogami to walk instead.
"Ajie, once the yin and yang eyes are opened, they can never be closed, right?" Nogami Saeko asked.
Along the way, she saw many wandering ghosts. The normal ones were born, old, sick and died, and their shapes were no different from ordinary people. The abnormal ones, such as the ghosts at the scene of the car accident, were so miserable.
"I can close your yin and yang eyes by withdrawing the spell, but I thought you wanted to look at it for a while longer, so I didn't ask." Liao Wenjie smiled slightly, showing that he had a good eye.
"..."
Nogami Saeko rolled her eyes and said nothing more.
Liao Wenjie was right. She did have this idea. Only by facing fear can she understand fear. She couldn't escape if she wanted to see the other side of the world.
"Saeko, you are very brave, but there is no need. This is not your world. Believe in your own eyes, not the eyes I gave you, and just be yourself." Liao Wenjie kindly reminded Nogami Saeko is an elite in the police community and is good at She uses guns and throwing knives, but she is just an ordinary person. Even if she sees the world clearly, she can't change anything.
In this case, why bother yourself.
"No, there are many people like you in the world. You have already appeared in my world. Even if it is to obtain information, I must know you better." Saeko Nogami insisted.
"Okay, you have big breasts, you are right."
Liao Wenjie shrugged, and then smiled sinisterly: "The ugly words are ahead. The villages ahead are scary. Don't regret it when the time comes."
"Is it because of that female ghost named 'Chu Renmei'?"
"Well, things happened at the beginning of this century, a long time ago. She was a very resentful female ghost. She was framed by her husband with a human face and a beast heart, and she was brutally beaten to death..."
Liao Wenjie briefly talked about Chu Renmei's situation. He was deeply impressed by the story, but if he really wanted to elaborate, he didn't know where to start with the details. He only had a rough outline in his mind.
It sounds contradictory, but it is very true.
After reading "Shadows of Childhood" once, he didn't want to watch it a second time. When Liao Wenjie saw the file, he could instantly think of Chu Renmei with long hair in blue. He knew that her body was lying in a pool, but he couldn't tell the specific location of the pool. I can only spread my hands and follow the clues honestly.
Therefore, rather than saying that he was deeply impressed by Chu Renmei, it is better to say that the name has become a symbol. Just like Sadako, there is no way around it when it comes to female ghosts.
Speaking of Sadako, Liao Wenjie raised his eyebrows. Is there a murder tape over there in Neon?
"Saeko, have you ever heard of the murder tape in Tokyo?"
"What murder video is related to Chu Renmei?" Nogami Saeko asked warily.
"It doesn't matter. Chu Renmei is in Hong Kong Island and the murder tape is in Neon. I'm just asking casually."
"Ajie, you... saw it, right?"
Nogami Saeko's eyes flashed, and she asked curiously: "About Chu Renmei, did you get the information from the archives, or did you see it with your own ability? What about Neon's murder video? Did you also see it? What?"
"Zezi, you are so excited."
Liao Wenjie shrugged and said truthfully: "I do have some insignificant abilities, but they must be in contact with the corresponding people and things to trigger this ability. I saw Chu Renmei, and the murder video tape is a fabrication... eh , which does not rule out its existence.”
Murder tape!
Saeko Nogami kept this in mind silently. Seeing Liao Wenjie admitting his ability, he immediately dug deeper: "Ajie, how much can you see, for example...for example, me, what will happen in my future?"
"Nothing will happen. I will live a peaceful life. There is nothing wrong with me except being single with no partner and ending up alone."
"Single for the rest of my life...without a partner..."
Nogami Saeko's expression was stiff: "No way, take a closer look and see if you missed anything."
Liao Wenjie shook his head: "I saw it when we were on the cruise ship. You will get married to Axiang. There is no hope for you."
"Congratulations to them for actually having such a future. Ah Xiang is so miserable. He is not someone who would hang himself from a tree. He will definitely have an affair after marriage."
Nogami Saeko sighed, and then leaned towards Liao Wenjie: "It feels pitiful to be single all my life, but I don't understand at all, why I didn't even become your spare tire? Did you change your ways, or did you one day Is there no one left?”
"What nonsense are you saying? How can I change my ways!"
Liao Wenjie curled his lips in disdain, then raised his brows and said cheerfully: "This is the future without me. After I join...forget it, let's not talk about it. After all, those children are quite cute. You can't just be greedy for a moment of pleasure." I said no more."
Nogami Saeko: ()
It was such a terrifying future that she had no motivation to live.
"Hey, are you serious about such an outrageous future?"
"You should be well aware of the marriage between Li and Axiang in the first half. I can't lie to you. What happened between us in the second half..."
Liao Wenjie paused for a long time, until Nogami Saeko looked nervous, and then said seriously: "If you believe it, there will be it, if you don't believe it, there will be nothing. Who can say for sure about fate!"
"That means no?" Nogami Saeko breathed a sigh of relief.
"No, no, it's just a pity for those children. They are so cute and they are the treasures of your life!"
"..."
…
Huangshan Village.
A deserted village that has been abandoned for many years, with weeds covering all the roads in the village, and shabby brick-walled houses with no doors or windows. Each house is like a distorted human face with dark eyes and mouth, lying motionless among the dead branches and leaves.
Residents of nearby villages know little about Huangshan Village. Rumors say that this place was once haunted by ghosts. Most of the people died in three days, and the rest moved away. Huangshan Village was therefore abandoned and became what the older generation calls a ghost village.
Some people did not believe in evil and chose a dark and windy night to pitch a tent and stay overnight in Huangshan Village. They were carried away the next day and were shaking like a sieve. They lay there for half a year before they could barely get off the ground and walk.
Since then, this village has become a forbidden area, deliberately forgotten by the residents of nearby villages, and no one dares to find it uncomfortable anymore.
"Zezi, you are so lucky. It's a cloudy day with rain and wet sounds. You can enjoy it today."
Liao Wenjie looked up at the sky. Just as he arrived at the entrance of the village, the cloudless sky suddenly turned overcast. The ground was moist and a hazy mist rose. The visibility was reduced. The abandoned village suddenly became eerie and terrifying.
Not to mention that there are indeed ghosts in the village, there are quite a lot of them, and even if there aren't, the visual effects are enough to make one's scalp tingle.
"Ajie, don't scare me. If you dare to come with you, I have no intention of escaping." Saeko Nogami replied stiffly, with a forced smile.
"Then please let go of your hands!"
Liao Wenjie shook his tightly held arms. As soon as he arrived at the village gate, Nogami Saeko hugged him. It meant that he had a good heart, otherwise he would never tolerate the other party taking advantage of him.
"No, I'm just a little cold..."
Nogami Saeko looked down at the ground and made a trembling sound.
Just because there are bloodless ghosts standing at the door of every house in the village, there are men and women, old and young, as if the whole village is waiting for her to start the banquet.
Her dead fish-like eyes were strange and sinister, and a dozen cold gazes focused on her, making her feel as if she had fallen into an ice cellar, and she had to be dragged along by Liao Wenjie.
"How about it, do you want to help you close your Yin and Yang eyes?"
Please be quick!
Nogami Saeko swallowed, feeling terrified, and said stubbornly: "It doesn't matter, you insist on locking me up, and I can't stop you."
"Forget it, I wish you a good dream tonight, and don't keep thinking about people under the bed, outside the window, in the closet, or in the bathroom."
"..."
Liao Wenjie dragged Nogami Saeko and continued walking. He wanted to take her into the village for an outing and breathe the scent of the grass up close, but he saw three figures on the edge of the wasteland outside the village.
People, living things, not ghosts.
"There are actually people who are not afraid of death..."
Liao Wenjie murmured and dragged Saeko Nogami towards the wasteland. Unable to bear the speed of the latter, he took out his arms and put them around her waist, and started walking quickly.
"Hiss!"
After taking just two steps, Liao Wenjie took a breath and stopped.
"What's wrong, those three people are... ghosts?"
Nogami Saeko was very nervous. She was a newbie in opening the Yin and Yang eyes. Without Liao Wenjie’s guidance, she couldn’t tell the difference between a human and a ghost.
"No, Saeko, your waist is so thin."
"..."
…
"Who are you three? It's very dangerous here. Leave as soon as possible!"
Liao Wenjie walked to the wasteland and found three people, two young and one old, and a brazier on the ground. The ashes of paper money were picked up by the mountain wind and swirled into the air.
"Who are you?"
"I seem to have seen this face of yours somewhere..."
Liao Wenjie looked at the young man who asked the question. He had seen a copy of the young man's photo in the file. He was one of the five people who participated in the spiritualism game.
Thinking of this, he decisively took out his ID from his arms: "My surname is Liao. I am responsible for the case of the Soul Conjuring Game. Please cooperate with my work."
Two minutes later, the three of them introduced themselves. The two young men were 'Xiao Ming', a death-seeker who participated in the soul-calling game, and 'Fa Mao', a drama teacher who was passionate about spiritualism. The last old man was more powerful, Chu Renmei's nephew 'Li Qiang'. '.
Despite his age, gray hair and few teeth, the old man was still a strong man at the age of ten. He suppressed Chu Renmei for more than half a century with just a peace bracelet.
"Aunt Mei was not like this when she was alive. She was beautiful, kind-hearted and liked to help others..."
While Li Qiang was burning paper money, he recalled that Chu Renmei was a Cantonese opera actor who loved performing. Later, she married a respected teacher in the village.
Men are afraid of getting into the wrong profession, and women are afraid of marrying the wrong man. The teacher appears to be gentle, but in reality he is a beast with a heart like a snake.
After the teacher married Chu Renmei, he met the eldest daughter of a wealthy family and seduced her with the help of his ink. In order to cling to the powerful, this guy came up with a vicious plan that could easily get rid of the troublesome Chu Renmei while preserving his reputation as a noble person.
The teacher lied to Chu Renmei that he was addicted to opium. Because he had no money, he was miserable every time he became addicted.
Her superb acting skills successfully deceived Chu Renmei. She was afraid that the news about her husband's opium smoking would spread and damage his reputation, so she swallowed her tears and started a flesh and blood business.
Just after opening, the news leaked out, and the villagers caught and raped her on the spot.
Chu Renmei did not want to tell the story about the teacher's opium smoking, and insisted that she was hooking up with an adulterer. In order to preserve the reputation of the village, a group of old people in Huangshan Village lynched Chu Renmei to death.
The boulder fell, and a human head became bloody and deformed.
Chu Renmei's body was wrapped in a roll of straw mat and dumped in a mountain cemetery. There was not even a grave in the corpse wilderness.
Two days later, Li Qiang learned that the adulterer and the lynching were arranged by the teacher, so he came to the cemetery to cry and explain the cause and effect in front of Chu Meiren's body.
That night, with resentment rising to the sky, Chu Renmei transformed into a ghost and massacred Huangshan Village, killing sixty-six people in three days.
Later, Chu Renmei's resentment subsided, and it was because of Li Qiang. He took the peace bracelet Chu Renmei gave him and successfully made his aunt promise not to kill anyone again.
"A very pitiful woman, but she should not commit murder again..."
After hearing the story, Liao Wenjie sighed and shook his head. Chu Renmei's misfortune was related to the teacher and Huangshan Village at that time. Times have changed and the people she killed now are all innocent people.
Let’s not go too far, just take the Li Qiang in front of us as an example. Chu Renmei can kill anyone, but this nephew should not be killed, but...
Liao Wenjie remembered clearly that Li Qiang accidentally drank water and was killed by Chu Renmei without mercy.
"Officer, I know you may not believe this, but this case is really not man-made. Aunt Mei must have done this... there must be her reasons." Li Qiang said dryly, wondering why Chu Renmei had been silent for many years. , why did he suddenly jump out and commit murder again?
"I believe it, and I also know the reason. Her bracelet fell off, and she was so angry that she started killing people again."
Liao Wenjie glanced at the pool not far away, staring at the bottom of the pool. After a while, he let go of Nogami Saeko's slender waist, squatted down and pressed his palms into the pool.
Gululu————
Changes occurred, the water in the pool was rolling and bubbling, sediment was rising, and the entire pool was turbid.
"When the husband is in your heart and the concubine is heartbroken, you will know your grievances"
“It’s hard to meet but easy to separate”
A figure in blue with black hair emerged from the pool, waving his long sleeves and walking towards Liao Wenjie on the water.
I went downstairs to pick up the express delivery, but when I came home I found that I didn’t bring my keys... Looking at it this way, I’m not only handsome, but also pretty cute.
