Hades sequence

Chapter 241 Jiang Brigade

For most people, when they see a 'person' with a white cloth covering their face, they will subjectively think that the white cloth is a shroud, used to cover the body.

This is basic common sense.

This is true even in horror movies and criminal investigation movies, most of which have similar plots.

The same goes for Jiang Jiuguo.

Now after what Scholar Chen said, he realized that his thinking was still limited. The white cloth was not necessarily covering the dead person's face, it might be a kind of mask.

Because in ancient times, some wizards and dancing masters would use white cloth as a kind of mask.

was thinking.

The words of a scholar from Chen University were also heard on the phone:
"Yes, there are many types of masks. Every region and every different period has different mask changes. Of course, makeup is also indispensable."

"Those who dance the Great God, they often put some makeup on their faces. In the eyes of the Great Dancer, these makeups are a symbol of exorcising evil spirits."

"You may not understand what I say. Let me give you an example."

Chen University scholar pondered for a while, then organized his words and said:
"For example, in the funeral culture that still exists, don't they usually invite theater troupes or song and dance troupes to sing? Some places invite singers and dancers, but some places still maintain the tradition and invite theater troupes to sing a crying scene."

"These people who cry in the scene are troupe actors. They put on makeup to represent themselves as the family members of the deceased and perform the crying scene."

"in addition."

"If the deceased died an untimely death, such as hanging, a troupe would be invited to send the soul, such as the custom of 'sending rice dumplings' in Wanwan City. 'Sending rice dumplings' here does not mean eating rice dumplings."

"Instead, they wrap the rope with which the deceased was hung, and then ask the troupe to put on makeup and pretend to be Zhong Kui, and ask Zhong Kui to send away the rope of the deceased to settle the grievances of the deceased on the rope."

Just when Scholar Chen wanted to continue speaking, Jiang Jiuguo interrupted.

"Mr. Chen, I know what you are talking about about wearing makeup. When I was a child, I saw an old man in the community die, and they invited a theater troupe to perform a crying scene at the funeral. But what you are talking about about wearing a mask, I don't understand very well."

"What kind of masks are you talking about here? Copper masks? Or wooden masks? Or cloth masks?"

Chen University scholar raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "This depends on the historical period. Basically, there are all kinds of materials."

He said with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Cloth? Does Jiang Jiuguo think the white cloth of the white cloth ghost is a mask?"

He is worthy of being the top ghost scholar in Daxia. When it comes to ghost sequences, his sharp thinking captured the key to Jiang Jiuguo's words and deduced the meaning of the question.

as predicted.

As Scholar Chen finished his reply, Jiang Jiuguo pondered and said:
"Mr. Chen, do you think it's possible that the white cloth female ghost is a ghost like a dancing master?"

Although he didn't know what Scholar Chen was thinking, he didn't think that with his research on ghost sequences, he would not think of the white cloth female ghost when he asked like this.

Faced with Jiang Jiuguo for consultation.

Scholar Chen Da secretly said that as expected, he also replied:

"It's not impossible, but just because his face is covered with a white cloth, he thinks he's wearing a mask, but there's still no strong evidence."

"What if the female ghost in white cloth has her lips painted with rouge?" Jiang Jiuguo said immediately.

Now that he is cooperating with Scholar Chen, his knowledge of ghost sequences can be of great help. Jiang Jiuguo feels that he should not hide all secrets, but should reveal some information to facilitate research by Scholar Chen.

Before you determine whether Chen University Scholar is good or bad, there is nothing bad in yourself by disclosing some information appropriately.

at the same time.

Scholar Chen Da who answered the phone looked startled, and his eyes suddenly lit up: "Have you seen the true appearance of the white cloth ghost?"

"No, I just accidentally saw its chin that time and found that her lips were red, as if they were rouged."

"Your information is very good. I will check the classics right now. If there is any new progress, I will tell you."

Scholar Chen Da was very excited and hung up the phone in a hurry.Jiang Jiuguo didn't refuse. He looked at the time on the electronic screen and saw that there were still a few minutes before boarding the plane and there was no time to talk anymore.

……

……

To the northeast, there are three underground floors of the Yamen.

Jiang Jiu got off the plane and went straight to the Yamen to visit Jiang Yan.

"Team Jiang." When the yamen guard saw the ID in Jiang Jiuguo's hand, he immediately smiled and let Jiang Jiuguo enter the yamen.

Jiang Jiuguo didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he heard this. Although this was the yamen's name for captain-level villains, it was a bargain after all, and he was somewhat uncomfortable with it.

He simply said hello to the guard.

He didn't stay any longer and entered the third underground floor unimpeded with his credentials.

"Huh? Is it my imagination? Why does it feel like there are fewer people?"

Passing through the first and second underground floors, Jiang Jiuguo found that not only did he see a few well-known Yinzai, he couldn't even see Captain Lin, and even the logistics staff were missing a lot.

"Are you going out to handle the follow-up matters at the airport?"

Jiang Jiuguo thought to himself as he came to the third underground floor.

Compared to the first and second floors underground, there are fewer people here. It has only been a day, the coughs have decreased a lot, and the ward is much emptier. At least half of the beds are empty compared to before leaving.

I only walked through a dozen wards.

Several medical staff rolled out three stretcher trolleys from the ward, covered with white cloth.

"Oh, another one who didn't make it through. I was just transferred here to deal with this kind of thing."

The person who spoke was a medical staff member who walked out of the ward behind Jiang Jiu.

"There is no other way. If you don't accept the ghost sequence formula, ordinary people will not be able to withstand the strange influence of the consumptive ghost. It is estimated that in two days, everyone here will probably die."

His companion looked sad.

However, the next second, the medical staff said: "Even if you take the ghost sequence formula, you may not survive."

Jiang Jiuguo stopped when he heard this, turned around and looked over: "Have any patients already received the Ghost Sequence Formula?"

"Yes, quite a few." The medical staff were stunned at first, but still replied: "Not many people are not afraid of death. Many patients know that tuberculosis cannot be cured by medical means, so they choose to take the ghost sequence formula."

There was no need for Jiang Jiu to ask, the medical staff said directly:

"I just took over five patients and took them to take the Ghost Sequence Formula, but they all died. Counting the number of people, from last night to now, 5 patients have taken the Ghost Sequence Formula."

"But only two of them did not die immediately after taking it. It remains to be seen whether they can survive the transformation."

"But according to this trend, the remaining 40 or so patients here will also have to accept the ghost sequence formula, otherwise they will all die."

"You are wrong. There is another exception."

Suddenly, the companion next to him suddenly spoke and pointed to the special ward where Jiang Yan was:

"The patient in the special ward is expected to be able to survive the next few days. She heard that she took No. 3 ghost blood. She is probably a high-level sinister relative. I heard that she prepared 2 bottles of No. 3 ghost blood to extend her life. .”

"That's Ghost Blood No. 3. It's such a luxury to use to extend your life. By the way, are you... the new Yinza?"

She looked at Jiang Jiuguo curiously.

I was a little curious about the new look of Jiang Jiuguo. Seeing him wearing casual clothes, I thought Jiang Jiuguo was a newly transferred Yinza.
