Chapter 12 The Truth
His face suddenly turned pale like a dead person, with a strange smile on his lips, and only darkness was left in his eyes.
The young man dropped his cell phone and then let out a terrifying howl at the door.
After doing this, Jiang Li saw him caressing the iron bed in front of him and slowly pressed his head against the edge of the bed. He slowly took out a strip of cloth from his pocket and tied it to the edge of the bed. Then the young man put his head in, with a strange smile on his face, and stood still, like a dead body for a long time.
At this moment, Jiang Li saw a piece of skin exposed under his sweatshirt. A dark bruise suddenly appeared on the other party's neck.
"No..." Jiang Li's scalp was numb, and his heartbeat almost stopped beating at this moment.
He slowly turned his head and looked at the door behind him, but saw a picture that almost shuddered: a pale face was pressed against the glass window beside the door, squinting his eyes and staring at him with a mouthful of snow-white teeth.
And that face is the evil ghost who appeared on the radio before!
The moment he saw the face, Jiang Li heard another terrifying call from outside the door. The sound should have been made by a man named Xiaowei. He shouted "haunted" and accompanied by a burst of hasty footsteps, Jiang Li knew that the other party had been frightened by the scene in front of him and ran away in panic.
At the same time, he also activated the props in his hand, left the room directly, and teleported to the corridor on the 12th floor.
In the darkness, Jiang Li saw two figures.
One passed by himself and fled down the stairs quickly; the other seemed to be planning to run downstairs, but seemed to see some terrifying scene, and then turned around and ran upstairs.
Jiang Li was no longer willing to stay. When he was in the room just now, he obviously felt a creepy cold air. I'm afraid what he saw just now was not a review of the scene, but... a real evil spirit.
He didn't think much, and his brain couldn't even think about what was going on with the figure just now. Jiang Li almost burst out all the energy in his body. He picked up the flashlight and ran wildly in the dark corridor. At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps behind him that were not too fast.
Although the sound sounded like someone was slowly going down the stairs, he was always following behind him in a gloomy way. In the empty and silent corridor, Jiang Li heard the familiar, hoarse and strange laughter again.
Something seems to be important in my mind that is about to surface!
"Ahhhhh, don't come over!" Looking at the bright concrete floor at the stairs in front of him, Jiang Li felt his voice sweet. The footsteps behind him were getting closer and closer, as if they were only a few steps away from him!
"No!" Jiang Li suddenly saw the figure fleeing in the corridor ahead, his familiar outfit and body shape...
Jiang Li finally saw clearly that it was not someone else who escaped from the upper floor before, but Chen Mo himself!
At this time, Chen Mo fled to the first floor in panic. He panted and looked at the dark corridor behind him, and collided with Jiang Li's sight. His expression was very frightened, as if he had seen something extremely terrifying behind him through Jiang Li.
"Bang"
The next second, a black figure fell from the sky and hit Chen Mo with impermanence.
Before Chen Mo could even make a terrified scream, he was killed by the person who fell from above. Blood slowly flowed along the two of them to the concrete ground. The man named Xiaowei twisted his limbs, and his expression was frozen on the terrifying scene at the moment of death. Chen Mo under him vomited blood, fell on the concrete ground with his eyes closed, his body twitched a few times, and finally he was no longer angry.
Jiang Li walked out of the corridor and looked at the scene incredibly. He slowly raised his head, and with the moonlight, Jiang Li saw a black figure standing quietly on the corridor on the thirteenth floor. Under the moonlight, the earrings on the man's left ear were shining, reflecting the pale and weird face.
At this point, Jiang Li finally understood the cause of the incident.
As early as the beginning, I was deceived by A Qi's story.
"Do you know? I heard that there is an old building here in the New Territories, which is very evil. Every year, two people die bizarrely, and then everything will subside..." What Xiaowei said during his lifetime came to Jiang Li's mind again.
It turns out that the reason why Ah Qi's ghost pestered Chen Mo was not because their death was caused by Chen Mo. That Ziwen should be a relative of Xiaowei's friend, the resident who lived here a year ago, who committed suicide by surprise. The high-necked sweatshirt he wore was just to cover up the scars on his neck. As for Ah Qi, it should be another deceased in the building last year.
From beginning to end, these two evil spirits are looking for new substitutes, and their targets are Xiaowei and Chen Mo, who was "attracted by accident when he heard the conversation" that night.
People who are not normal deaths will turn into vain after death, wandering in the dead place and cannot leave. They can only repeat the actions they committed suicide, and experience the despair and pain before death again and again until their lifespan is over. And if they want to be liberated, they must find someone to replace themselves.
Ziwen looked for a substitute Xiaowei, and Aqi's target was Chen Mo.
Uncle Hua told Guo Jiang Li that the bardo body can only exist for 7749 days. During this period, the dead people do not realize that they have become ghosts. After 774, the bardo body will reenter the cycle of reincarnation and completely dissipate. At that time, the evil ghost will also lose their substitute.
Jiang Li looked at a translucent figure slowly standing up from the ground, and the ghost was Chen Mo who had just died. At this time, there was still a lot of blood on his head, but Chen Mo seemed not to realize this. He stood up staggeringly, slowly left the corridor under Jiang Li's gaze, and then walked all the way to his car, driving away from the scene with a dull look on his face.
As for the blood under the car, it should be left behind at that time.
Seeing the scene in front of him gradually faded away, Jiang Li realized that all his experiences just now were still a plot review. It turned out that Chen Mo had already died as early as August 1st.
But for some reason, perhaps he had an extremely strong obsession with the radio station and could not let go of his concern. Chen Mo, who was obviously dead, did not realize this. The heavy blow in the head made him lose that part of his memory and turned into a ghost and left the unfinished building.
This explains why Chen Mo's home is clean and there is no breath of fireworks in the kitchen: ghosts don't have to eat at all.
From the beginning of the mission to now, almost no one can see Chen Mo's existence. Therefore, on the night he was about to enter the company, he would be hit by two white-collar workers for no reason. The "illness" in the two of them said was just that the elevator that was about to be closed was opened for no reason.
The people in the company ignored him. It was obvious that it was night but no one was on duty. Everything was because of a supernatural phenomenon in the company. Every night, the empty live broadcast room would suddenly light up and all the equipment would run automatically. The employees were very scared, so whenever the company was haunted, everyone would immediately lock the door and leave.
There are also security guards and cleaning staff downstairs, female white-collar workers I met when I stopped the car, and bar waiters... It turns out that from beginning to end, no one can see themselves.
