Chapter 24
At the same time, Zino also saw self-improvement. The two were stunned at the same time, neither of them moved, and their eyes intersect. Everything was particularly quiet, and only Qiao Xiaoxuan's nosebleed from his nostrils dripped down his chin to the floor and made a slight "drip" sound.
A few seconds later, Zino's big smart eyes, which first recovered, suddenly showed a frightened look. A scream came from her mouth: "Ah..."
The lights in all the windows of the whole building keep lighting up.
Qiao Xiaoxuan, who was awakened by Zino's screams, immediately realized that he was going to suffer again. He bent over and quickly passed by Zino, and his figure disappeared in the living room.
After finally suppressing her anger, Zino quickly put on her clothes, blushed, gritted her teeth and rushed into the living room to find the "culprit" who saw her body.
There was no one in the living room. Zino kicked open the door of Lin Xiaowei's room heavily. Qiao Xiaoxuan was indeed inside. At this time, he was turning something in Lin Xiaowei's drawer.
Seeing that Zino had broken in, Qiao Xiaoxuan quickly took a ointment from the drawer, and then immediately jumped to **'s hand holding the ointment tightly, closed his eyes and said as if he were dead: "
Come on."
Zino walked into the house, closed the door heavily, took off his sleeves and rushed to Qiao Xiaoxuan with a ferocious face.
"Ah............"
The lights that have just gone out of all the windows of the whole building are on again...
In the early morning, Lin Xiaowei walked alone on the lonely street, and the cold wind at midnight directly invaded her smooth skin through the thin dress.
It's only summer now, but for some reason, Lin Xiaowei always feels that the evening wind is very cold, which makes him creepy. He rubbed his arms vigorously, but there was no warmth at all.
Today is the first day of work after the rest of the research institute. Of course, it is only the group that Lin Xiaowei belongs to. The other groups have begun to work as early as the day after the picket is lifted. And their group has been resting because Dr. Li Nian, the team leader, is still detained by the police. Dr. Li Nian was quickly acquitted without evidence by the police. After coming out, he rested at home for nearly a month on the grounds of poor mental health before returning to the research institute, and Lin Xiaowei also received a notice to return to work at this time.
After a month of separation, Lin Xiaowei, who returned to work on the first day, found that every colleague looked at her with a strange look. No matter where she went, someone would always point out something behind her back.
It was hard to get through to get off work, but Lin Xiaowei was called by Dr. Li Nian and had to let her sort out all the documents that had been piled up for a month before she could go back.
Lin Xiaowei, who did not dare to resist, could only nod and agree. After her colleagues left after work, she stayed alone in the research institute to sort out the information silently until this time.
Inadvertently kicked away a small stone at his feet. The stone rolled forward, and the sound of rubbing against the ground when rolling was particularly harsh in this uninhabited street.
Lin Xiaowei shivered unconsciously, and her whole body trembled. She couldn't help speeding up her pace and walked home.
Suddenly, an old and unreal voice sounded in her ear, "Little girl, how can I get to West Street?"
"Ah..." Lin Xiaowei was shocked, and her whole heart suddenly beat violently. Then she turned around and found that she didn't know when there was an old woman around her.
Because of the dark street lights, she can't see the old woman's face clearly. She can only see her white hair, her body, not tall, only to Lin Xiaowei's chest. Judging from her body shape, she should be an older old man.
Lin Xiaowei covered her fast-beating heart, exhaled a long breath, and said, "Old woman, you scared me to death."
The old woman opened her mouth and smiled, "I'm not even afraid of me. What are you young girl afraid of?"
Lin Xiaowei shook her head helplessly, pointed to her right hand and said, "Go straight on this road and turn right at the intersection to West Street."
The old woman nodded and said, "Thank you."
"Mother-in-law, it's so late and the road is not easy to walk. Can I take you there?"
"No, no, I'll just go by myself." The old woman shook her hand and staggered to the right.
When the old woman's figure completely disappeared in the dark, Lin Xiaowei continued to walk home.
turned a corner at the intersection, and suddenly another voice sounded in her ear: "Little girl, how can I get to West Street?"
Lin Xiaowei turned around and found that it was the old woman who asked the way just now. I don't know when she had stood behind her.
Lin Xiaowei said in surprise, "Old woman, why is it you again? Didn't you go to West Street just now?
Is that right? Have I asked? When people are old, their memory is also poor.
"This is the road behind, go straight to the intersection and turn right. Grandma, why don't I go there with you?
"No, no, I'll just go by myself." The old woman shook her hand and turned around and walked back step by step.
Shaking her head, Lin Xiaowei continued to walk forward.
"Little girl, how can I get to West Street?"
I don't know when there was a person standing beside her. Lin Xiaowei was surprised to find that this person was still the old woman. At this time, no matter how stupid she was, she understood that there was definitely something wrong with this old woman.
A heart beat uncontrollably and violently. Lin Xiaowei raised her hand and pointed in a direction randomly, and said in a trembling voice, "That... over there."
"Oh." The old woman walked slowly in the direction she pointed out.
Lin Xiaowei is fierce. After taking a few breaths, she turned around and ran wildly in the direction of her house.
"Little girl, how can I get to West Street?"
"Ah... I don't know..."
What is the most frightening thing?
Unknown, fear comes from the unknown.
Just like the ancients saw thunder and lightning in the sky, they would think that it was the immortals in the sky who came out to patrol, and they were in a hurry to kowtow and worship. This is not because they are stupid or superstitious, but because people at that time did not know that thunder and lightning were the result of the collision of various clouds in the sky. The sparks caused by the collision of dark clouds on rainy days formed lightning, and the sound of the collision was thunder. Because of their ignorance of the celestial phenomena, they thought it was caused by the immortals in heaven, so they had awe and fear in their hearts.
Modern people are not afraid of thunder and lightning because they already know the answers to these normal phenomena, but they will still be afraid, and that fear still comes from the unknown.
There are too many unknown mysteries that have not been solved in this world. How are the pyramids created? Has the once disappeared civilization really existed? Does the Bible really have a prophetic code? ......
These don't happen around us, so we don't have to pay attention to them. But there is an unknown mystery that is closely related to us, and everyone wants to know, that is, do human beings really have souls? Where will the soul go after death?
Do people really have souls?
Dr. Mactangail in the United States conducted a special experiment in a hospital; he moved a lung patient who was about to suffocate on a large but very sensitive beam scale. After about three hours and 40 minutes, the patient's facial expression suddenly disappeared. In an instant, the beam shifted, and there were two Eleven grams of weight have been lost. This discovery was exciting. In the next two and a half years, he verified five critically ill patients who lost 16 to 40 grams of weight at the moment of death. This seems to show that there is no other explanation except that the soul has left the human body.
This study caused a great sensation in academia. Since then, people have continued to carry out this study, and the final result is that people lose an average of 21 grams of weight at the moment of death, which shows that human beings really have souls, and the average weight of souls is about 21 grams.
The weight of the soul has finally been weighed, but people face another unknown mystery again: where did the soul go after death?
It is said in the Western Bible that everyone has a spirit, and after death, the soul will go to heaven to enjoy eternal life or go to hell to suffer forever.
For those who cultivate demon immortals and cultivate the golden road, once a person cultivates the truth and obtains the Tao, his soul will break his body and fly to heaven after the disaster and become a golden fairy and become a magic fairy. As for ordinary people, after death, their souls will enter the hell to be judged, choose to reincarnation or go down to the 18th floor of hell to receive the punishment they deserve.
Zinuo's profession is an exorcist. She once mentioned the topic of soul with Lin Xiaowei. According to Zino, man has a soul, and the soul will leave the body after the death of the body, and then be taken to the underworld by the guide of the underworld for final judgment. It's just that some people don't want to enter the underworld after death because of their great resentment or unwillingness before death. After escaping, they become wandering ghosts in the world. Although the number of ghosts that can escape the chain of passers-by in the underworld is very small, there will always be a few ghosts that succeed. After thousands of years of human accumulation, there are countless ghosts wandering around the world. And the underworld has also set up a special team to catch these wandering souls, and the members of this special team are called Death.
Death is basically composed of the cultivation world with great cultivation before his death, but in the end he can't see the way of heaven. After his death, he entered the underworld and still has strong power.
The selection of death in the underworld is very strict, so although each death is strong, after all, the number is too small. In the end, it is a drop in the bucket, and the wandering soul in the world is still increasing.
While the underworld is also having a big headache, a profession has emerged among human beings to solve their problems: exorcism.
The exorcist is slightly different from death. They don't just take ghost hunting as their responsibility. While catching ghosts, they will also defeat demons and eliminate demons. After all, there are not only ghosts in this world, but also demons and monsters often disturb the world. Although practitioners often come out of the mountain to defeat demons and eliminate demons, after all, they are dedicated to seeking the way of heaven. On the contrary, they do not care too much about secular things. They will only occasionally meet and solve them casually when they go out of the mountains and clouds.
And exorcists are different from the cultivation world. Their existence is not to cultivate immortals, but as their profession.
When Zino and Lin Xiaowei mentioned ghosts, Lin Xiaowei just smiled faintly. After all, a person has never seen the legendary ghost in more than 20 years of life. Once these topics are mentioned, they will always feel a little ridiculous.
Although Lin Xiaowei does not believe that there are ghosts in the world, she has still seen demons with her own eyes and has had close contact with zombie Lieyan, so she has always maintained a credible and unbelievable attitude towards ghosts. But Qiao Xiaoxuan is different. As soon as he hears the story about ghosts, he will rise up and shout, "Is there a ghost? Call me to come out and let me have a look. If it's a male ghost, I will beat him. If it's a female ghost, I'll X first and then X and then XX. Every time Qiao Xiaoxuan said this, he would always get Zinuo's unique skills, and then waste a bunch of plasters.
Every time Zinuo and Qiao Xiaoxuan had an earth-shaking battle for these things, Lin Xiaowei watched the two of them tossing around with a smile and couldn't help thinking, "Is there really a ghost in this world? After staying with Zino for a long time, I don't know if I will meet a ghost one day? Then Lin Xiaowei always feels ridiculous about her sudden idea.
Fantasy is always a fantasy, but she never dreamed that she would really have such a day.
Running and running in a panic, Lin Xiaowei has lost her way and doesn't know where she is running. She just wants to leave the street as soon as possible, but no matter how many turns she turns, she will eventually return to this street.
Her heart was beating wildly. She felt that her whole body was weak and wanted to stop and have a good rest, but her subconsciously kept reminding her that she must not stop, keep running, running home or running all the day.
Lin Xiaowei gritted her teeth, took a deep breath and continued to run forward.
Suddenly, her whole body fell forward and fell to the ground, regardless of the pain of the abrasions. She hurriedly turned her head to see what was mixed with her feet.
A dark rope was wrapped around her ankle, and the other end of the rope seemed to emerge from the ground. Lin Xiaowei pulled hard, but the rope seemed to be connected to the ground. No matter how much strength she used, the foot wrapped around the rope could never move.
Lin Xiaowei hurriedly got up and bent down to untie the rope wrapped around her feet. At this moment, the rope seemed to move.
More ropes emerged from the ground, more and longer and longer. Finally, the ground at her feet slowly raised a small black slope, and the slope became more and more convex. Lin Xiaowei could faintly see that the soil slope slowly formed an olive shape.
It was very quiet around, and only the "grid" sound of Lin Xiaowei's two rows of teeth fighting was quiet.
Sum, two cold lights flashed on the olive-shaped black soil slope. Lin Xiaowei gasped quickly and kept trembling. Her face was pale like a piece of white paper, and she stared at the small slope at her feet with unbelievable.
She finally saw clearly that this was not a slope at all, but a person's head, and the hair covered the whole face. Only two cold light stared at her between the cracks of her hair, and her feet were wrapped in the hair growing on the head of this person's head.
Lin Xiaowei wanted to shout, but she was shocked to find that she couldn't make a sound.
"Come with me..." A call from the nine hells echoed faintly in her ears.
Lin Xiaowei felt black in front of her eyes...
"The purple heart mysterious charm breaks the heaven and the earth, the demons appear without a trace, the words of extermination open the way, and the exorcise the demons and the demons see the sky."
With a delicate shout, a yellow rune flew up in the air and suddenly burned in mid-air. The dark long street suddenly became bright, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.
The head beside Lin Xiaowei made a miserable cry in the strong light generated by the burning of runes, and then began to melt slowly, just like ice cream melting. From the beginning of his hair, he began to shed a white to almost transparent face. Through the pale skin, the blood vessels on his face were clearly visible. Both eyes revealed painful and pleading eyes. Then the whole face fell off one by one until the whole face became bloody.
In the scream, the flesh on the face of the human head slowly turned into blood and dripped to the ground. An eyeball fell out of the eye frame and rolled to one side, instantly turned into a green smoke and dissipated.
"No..." The human head roared unwillingly with all its strength, and the whole head burst in an instant, scattering a pile of blood-red insects crawling around.
If Lin Xiaowei was still awake at this time, she would definitely be nauseous, because this pile of blood-red insects is the maggots produced after the decomposition of the body, and the large number of scalps is numb.
The rune paper finally burned to the end and turned into a pile of paper residue and drifted away in the wind. The maggots on the ground also turned into a pool of blood when the rune was burned, and then evaporated into countless blue smokes and dissipated. Two figures slowly appeared in the dark.
On the left is a girl with a slender village, with a long head, a long sword shining with blue light in one hand, and a rune paper in the other hand, with a slightly disdainful expression on her stunning face.
On the right side of the girl is a boy, who is one head taller than the girl and looks beautiful. Unfortunately, a good-looking face is blue and swollen, and there are many damages on her clothes.
"Qiao Xiaoxuan, I can't see that your intuition is still full." Zino's tone was obviously loose, as if he didn't pay attention to the scene just now.
"Cut!" Qiao Xiaoxuan turned his head aside and said proudly, "Don't look at who I am. I'm pure and invincible, beautiful and cute. The jade tree is facing the wind, handsome and unrestrained, loved by everyone. The car sees the car, and the beer opens the lid..."
"I'm pooh. Nowadays, TV dramas are really tireless. How can they teach you to be this virtue? I'll just hit the wall."
Qiao Xuan touched his swollen face like a pig's head and said aggrievedly, "Didn't you hit it? Just because he looks better than you and is more attractive than you, you are jealous of me, so you beat me like this."
"I'm jealous of you?" Zino pointed to his nose and shouted in surprise, "With a beautiful woman like me, Fan Gong Shidai, who looks better than Xi Shi, stepped on Diao Chan, punched Zhaojun... Looking back and smiled charmingly, people who want to date me can line up to go abroad, just because I Zino is also jealous of you?"
"Ah, I owe you." Qiao Xiaoxuan yawned, stretched out, and said lazily, "You dead woman, you are really talkative, like an old woman."
"What did you say?" Zino pinched his finger bones and made a "crack", "Isn't the skin itchy again? Huh?"
Qiaoxuan swallowed a mouthful of foam water and immediately changed his charming face. He smiled and said, "Zino, don't be angry. It's easy to grow wrinkles when you are angry. If you grow wrinkles, you will get old. If you are old, you won't look good-looking. If you are not good-looking, I won't take you. If I don't take you..."
"Bah, the men all over the world are dead, and I can't marry you."
