Raising Ghosts Records

Chapter 94 The Basement and Footprints

I climbed in through the wall, and Tongtong told me the entrance to the basement, which was in a corner of the room where my third uncle lived.There was originally a bed in this corner, which was the bed that Third Uncle slept in before he was alive, and the entrance to the basement was under the original bed.

I don't know if the third uncle knew about this basement when he was alive, or he dug it himself, but it's unlikely, after all, he is blind, and the amount of work is difficult and meaningless.

To dig such a large basement, even if a man in his prime would secretly dig it, it would take at least a year and a half!Not to mention a blind old man.If the third uncle didn't know, it means that this basement has existed for decades, before the third uncle lived here.

I found a wood chopping knife and took it with me, opened the cover of the basement and climbed down the ladder. The basement is very big, as big as a middle school classroom, and the height of the space is about three meters.But this is only the height of the space, there is still a thick layer separated from the ground, which is left to prevent the house from being hollowed out and collapsed.I am standing on the ground of this basement, which is actually six to seven meters above the entrance. This ladder is also made of two large bamboos.

When I got down, I didn't find anyone, so I inserted the hatchet knife into my trouser belt, and Tongtong also got out of the beads and floated in front of me.She said that there is indeed no one here, but that person should come back, she can set up a small magic circle here, as long as that person comes back, she will know.In this way, we can bring people to surround this room, and then the mysterious man can't fly even with wings, so we can capture him alive and ask some questions.

I asked Tong Tong what kind of small magic circle, and she said that when she was in Xunjiang, she used to set up magic circles in different places in the river, as long as people who entered the water approached her, they would know.If a person entering the water enters the magic circle she arranged, Tong Tong can also make the swimmer's hands and feet weak and lose the ability to escape, and Tong Tong will come to drag him to drown.

This kind of magic circle is the same as making ghosts hit the wall, it is the ability of ghosts themselves.Tongtong said that the magic circle has a great effect in the water, but she doesn't know it on the ground, but as long as someone enters the magic circle, she can sense it.

I asked her how to arrange this formation, and what should be prepared?Tongtong didn't need to say anything, just asked me to bring a plate of water, she knew how to do it herself.

I climbed up the ladder, took a rotten bucket and filled it half full with water, and Tongtong dipped his feet into the bucket and started walking on the ground.I saw her bouncing around like dancing, leaving dozens of wet footprints on the basement floor.These wet footprints formed an odd shape that looked like a large tortoise shell lying in a circle, and then the wet footprints evaporated and disappeared.

I asked Tongtong is it that simple?Tongtong said it was that simple, and I asked her to teach me next time, she said she could try it.

After Tongtong set up the magic circle, I then checked everything in the basement. The bags of snakeskin were filled with sand, which was probably used for plastering the walls when the basement was dug.I also looked at those dozens of jars one by one, but most of them were empty, and the rest contained wine, so I went out because there was nothing to see.

It was already daylight when I came out of the basement. I went back to Mr. Zhang’s house, but there was no place to sleep.At this time Wang Jinping just got up, I asked her why she got up so early!She said she likes to get up and go for a run at dawn, rain or shine!
I went back to the hall and sat down doing nothing, Wang Jinping was brushing his teeth in the patio, she asked me why you get up so early if you don’t run.I stretched and said I haven't slept yet!She asked me why I didn't sleep!You can't grow taller if you stay up all night, but it's time for you to grow your body?

I said I have nowhere to sleep!How about asking Aunt Zhang to make another bed for me in your room?

Wang Jinping froze for a moment after hearing this, and then showed a very bright smile, saying that her bed can let me sleep for a day temporarily, so I was very happy.

Lying on Wang Jinping's bed, there is a faint smell, she let me sleep on her bed, maybe because I have saved her life!It may also be that I am treated as her younger brother because of my young age.

I took out the beads and told Tong Tong that if something happened to the magic circle, she would wake me up immediately, and she said she knew, so I could sleep peacefully and beautifully.In the afternoon I got up and asked people in the village, and asked the villagers if there were any strangers in the village besides me in the past two days, but their answers were all the same, that is, no, never seen, don’t know, and don’t know, so I preliminarily Judging that the mysterious person should be a villager of this village.

In the evening, Wang Jinping called me to her room and closed the door. I asked her why she asked me to come in. She said that she wanted to tell me something, but she asked me not to say it, otherwise she would be punished.

I promised never to talk about it, so she told me. Wang Jinping first told me how she became a researcher of paranormal phenomena in a certain research institute.The so-called supernatural phenomena are phenomena that cannot be reasonably explained by current science, such as the mystery of UFO, the mystery of ghosts, etc.

Although she is a researcher, she actually doesn't know anything. It's just that her grandfather is the director of the institute, so she was arranged to join her who just graduated from graduate school, in order to increase her resume.

And this time she was sent to investigate the human-to-skeleton incident just to gild herself. Before coming here, his grandfather read the information and judged that it should be a small black beetle called a water tiger.So the higher authorities sent an aquatic biologist down, so that the aquatic biologist can formulate a treatment plan after investigation and research, and she can also get a share of the credit after the incident is handled according to the treatment plan.

To put it bluntly, it means coming down to make soy sauce. She has a share of the credit if the matter is done well, and she has nothing to lose if the matter is not done well. She can pass it on to the biologist.

However, to everyone's surprise, it was sand that ate meat, which was beyond everyone's expectations.The higher authorities attached great importance to it, and sent a few more people down to ask them to find out the source of the sand. After figuring out the source, the higher authorities will send more than a dozen people down.So she went to Guizailing that night, because this kind of meat-eating sand was also found in a ditch in Guizailing.

Wang Jinping said that she told me because she thought I was a person with special abilities and hoped that I could help her. She hoped that she could figure out the ins and outs of Shasha and give her an answer.

It turns out that I hope that I can help, but I am willing to, and I also want to know what the hell that sand is.

Wang Jinping talked with me in her room for half an hour, and also told me about her recent investigations.After I went to Xiangxi, she and Lao Ding went out every day, carrying some bought chicken and pork to test everywhere, with the purpose of finding the source of the sand.Finally, they found meat-eating sand in a stream in Guizailing, and then contacted the many stone statues in Guizailing.She guessed that there must be something buried under Guizai Ridge. The source of this kind of sand must have escaped from Guizai Ridge, maybe it was used as a mechanism.

After hearing this, I disagree with her guess. The sand is neither a spirit nor an animal, but real sand. Why does this sand have its own consciousness?I think while the source of the sand is important, it is also important to figure out what the sand is.

After I came out of Wang Jinping's room, it was time for dinner. After dinner, Aunt Zhang made a bed for me.The next day, Wang Jinping and Lao Ding and I went to Guizailing again. There was indeed meat-eating sand in that ditch, but only a small amount, and no springs were found in the ditch. I don’t know where the sand came from. .

Everything was so messy, because they were locked in the basement for two days, and because they drank the drug, the three men didn't do anything for the next three days, but Wang Jinping and Lao Ding ran around, and of course I followed them.

Shortly after nightfall on the third day, we were having dinner when suddenly the beads in my pocket shook violently, and I knew Tongtong wanted to tell me something.After I put down the bowl and went back to the room, closed the door and covered the quilt, I took out the beads and asked Tongtong what was going on. Tongtong said that someone had broken into her magic circle. It must be that mysterious person from the basement. He told me to go and have a look quickly. .

I put away the beads and immediately went out of the hall to look at the village head Zhang's family who were still eating at the table, as well as Lao Ding and Wang Jinping.I quietly called out Lao Ding and Wang Jinping, and told them that I knew where the person who drugged us that day was, and asked them to come with me.

Without further ado, Lao Ding went back to his house and took an electric baton and a military flashlight. Wang Jinping also took two flashlights and gave them to me.Then we walked towards the third uncle's house. When we got to the gate, the gate was still locked. For safety, Wang Jinping went back and asked Village Chief Zhang to get the key.Otherwise, we have to climb the wall to go in and wait until we can't beat that person, and we have to climb the wall to get out when we want to escape, so we have no chance to escape.

Five minutes later, Wang Jinping brought the key, and I opened the door immediately after taking it. At this moment, a person rushed out of the room and knocked me to the ground.

Lao Ding was also unambiguous. He pushed the electric baton against the man and pressed the button. The man snatched Lao Ding's electric baton with a scream and threw it on the roof. Then the man ran out of the village.

Wang Jinping yelled at this person, "Mr. Zhang!"

The man was still covering his head, and he ran very fast. We couldn't catch up after a few steps, so we had to go back for safety.Both Lao Ding and I asked Wang Jinping out of breath, why did you call that person the village head Zhang? Did you see that it was indeed the village head Zhang?Wang Jinping shook his head, saying that he stopped until the person shouted, and the voice was exactly the same as Village Chief Zhang.

This man's voice was exactly the same as Village Chief Zhang's, and he was able to run like flying without falling in the dark without using a flashlight.
