Secret Notes of a Mystery Investigator

Chapter 17 The Evil God's Tribute (17)
Head Chen shook his head and said: They clearly know that it is wrong to practice evil methods, but they still want to practice, just to make their conscience passable. They chose a person who doesn't seem innocent, and want to kill him, isn't that right? ?This is not only the greed of human nature, but also the terrible side of human nature. They often find excuses for doing a wrong thing. This is a very ridiculous thing. In the end, it is themselves who suffer.

I said: "Did they suffer? Didn't they succeed in cultivation in the end?"

Head Chen said: "They calculated for a long time, but finally they calculated themselves into it, because the one they buried was not human at all. From the very beginning when he found the four of them, he took advantage of the psychology of these four people. In the end, the four of them As expected, I did not let him down, and tried to use him as a sacrifice, but was backlashed, and all the hard-earned moments were vomited out."

I said, "Then the little girl who died was actually backfired?"

Head Chen said: "That's right, including the little girl's family, they knew all the secrets. After their daughter was killed, they chose to commit suicide as a way to escape the backlash. At that time, people were probably desperate. , prepared to become ghosts to rebel against fate, but they didn't know that fate wanted them to be ghosts instead of humans. The truth of ghost talismans is actually the retribution planted on people. It makes people who should be ghosts go back to be ghosts again. Those cultivators are doing something. A very sad thing."

We were all silent for a long time. After a while, Captain Chen said again: "One of these four people is a teacher who teaches art, the other is a farmer who has been farming for generations, and the other is a coach who teaches dance. They are all good people. Engage in those unattainable ways of becoming immortals, but in the end they become accomplices, and in the end, even humans and ghosts can't do it."

I said, "Head, what does the other person do?"

Head Chen said: "That's the only one among the five who is still human. Of course, if he hadn't turned around early, he would be a ghost now. As for who this person is, we will keep it secret for now."

I vaguely guessed who this person was, so I dare not say any more.Head Chen said: "The case investigated by my father, the dead postures of the couple when they committed suicide, and the red thread used to tie their hands are all seeking the same path in the underworld. Way back. I think they must be very sorry."

I said, "Then what about that little girl named Wang Wenna, does she have anything to do with this matter?"

Head Chen said: "Of course it has something to do with it. Can it appear in this case without it?"

I said: "What's the relationship? If you look at it according to what you said, I don't find any intersections. Isn't the damn thing dead?"

Head Chen said: "This matter is not so easy to settle, but what needs to be settled will always be settled."

He Zhuang said: "Is there any way to deal with them?"

Head Chen said: "Are you asking me?"

He Zhuang nodded, and head Chen said: "There is no clear method, but what makes me wonder is why they haven't done anything yet?"

He Zhuang said: "They are waiting."

Head Chen said: "You mean the time hasn't come yet?"

He Zhuang nodded.Head Chen thought for a while and said: "It's not impossible. Anyway, everyone should be careful recently. Judging from the news from Xiao Wang, they are probably coming soon."

Ma Tianxing said: "What news did Xiao Wang give back?"

Head Chen said: "Nothing has been investigated."

Ma Tianxing said: "Then we don't need to be so nervous, right?"

Head Chen said: "The other party is not a criminal in the traditional sense. They came here with a purpose but did nothing, which is very suspicious in itself, so we must take all precautions now to prevent them from rioting."

Tribute to evil gods

After dinner, Captain Chen left alone, He Zhuang said: "The leader is in trouble."

Ma Tianxing said: "I think so too, and these days we have been living in his place, and today we suddenly let us go home separately, I always feel that there is something wrong with it, did he deliberately let us avoid this matter?"

I said: "It should be like this. Judging from what the leader said just now, I think the fourth person may... maybe be his grandfather, so this matter must have something to do with his family."

He Zhuang looked at us and said, "What do you mean?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Needless to say, can we ignore his troubles, besides, the four of us have never seen any scenes, are we afraid that he is just a little brat?"

He Zhuang nodded and said, "Luo Zi, don't go."

After getting along with him for a long time, I know how to communicate with him. What He Zhuang means is that I am afraid that I will not be good enough and will suffer in the end; but I will definitely not agree. After all, I have been through life and death for several years. Of course, I can't stay out of the matter, so I said: "You all go, I will definitely go too, the four of us are together in the first place."

After saying this, He Zhuang patted me on the shoulder and said, "Let's go to the head of the group."

We took a taxi to head Chen's house, but when we got there, we found that his house was dark, and no one opened it when we went up to knock on the door. Ma Tianxing said: "It's bad, today's meal is a breakup meal, it turned out to be interesting." .”

I said, "Then where should we go to find the team leader?"

Ma Tianxing said: "Since he sent Xiao Wang to Nuanxin Studio as an undercover agent, there must be something wrong there. I dare say that the head of the team went there in all likelihood. Anyway, there is nowhere to look for it. Go and have a look." Say it again."

As soon as we turned around and were about to go down the stairs, we suddenly found that Captain Chen was standing behind us at some point. To be honest, I was really shocked. He looked at us with a strange expression and didn't speak.

His house belonged to an older community, and the lights in the building had long been broken. We looked at "his" blue complexion through the faint moonlight, and felt chills in our hearts. We just looked at each other for a long time.Head Chen squeezed past us and took out the key to open the door.We didn't communicate with each other all the time. We opened the door and went in. We were about to turn on the light, but we heard him say: "Don't turn on the light." The voice seemed to be wrong, and we all had an ominous premonition in our hearts.

After entering the house, he walked around each room one by one, and then asked, "Where are the photos of the old man at home?"

After hearing this, we immediately understood everything. Just as I opened my mouth to speak, He Zhuang suddenly dragged me behind him and said, "Aren't you all burned?"

Head Chen frowned and said, "There is another matter, why should I burn it?"

He Zhuang said: "You said you can't let those who practice ghost charms find out."

Head Chen sighed and said, "What else do you know?"

He Zhuang said: "The ghost talisman is actually an article in the underground book, which records the alchemy to become a god, but this god is an evil god. I think you may not know this."

It was the first time I heard He Zhuang say such a long speech, and I was more surprised than seeing a ghost, but what he said seemed to know more than Commander Chen, could it be, could it be that He Zhuang also practiced ghost charms?
Just when I was thinking wildly, "Teacher Chen" asked my heart: "How do you know?"

He Zhuang said: "Do you want to know? If you want to know, let Captain Chen come back, and I will go with you."

Ma Tianxing said: "Zhuangzi, don't use this method of losing your wife and losing your army, you can negotiate if you have something to do."

Everyone ignored him. Head Chen pondered for a long time and said, "Who the hell are you? Wouldn't it be better to just say it?"

He Zhuang said: "My surname is He, and I belong to the He family. If you know the book from the ground, you should know our family."

"Head Chen" seemed to be taken aback with his pale face, "You are actually from the He family, aren't you all finished?"

He Zhuang said: "You who practice alchemy should know that everyone has no good end in the end, it's just that the time has not come."

Hearing this sentence, the other party was also speechless for a long time, and finally sighed: "That's not necessarily true, if I succeed in cultivation..."

He Zhuang said with a smile: "If you can cultivate well, then the person behind you would have been able to go to heaven long ago. Think about it, is there any truth to what I said?"

"Chief Chen" changed his face in an instant and said, "What do you mean by that?"

He Zhuang said: "It's not interesting. It's meaningless to lie to yourself. Ghost talisman cultivation is four-in-one, and one is indispensable. The grandfather of the head of Chen has long passed away. Do you think it will be useful to catch him? That's too ridiculous gone."

"Head" suddenly stood up from his chair, and said, "Do you really understand this?"

He Zhuang said: "Then what do you think, you should know the contents of the last page of the book from the ground?"

Suddenly, "the head of the group let out an earth-shattering scream, and suddenly a breathtaking white light lit up in the room, like lightning, but after a while, everything returned to normal, but the head of the group disappeared."

The three of us looked at each other, Ma Tianxing said, "Da Zhuang, what should we do?"

He Zhuang said: "Go to the studio." He went first, and we followed closely.

After getting into the car, Ma Tianxing said: "Da Zhuang, what do you mean by talking so mysteriously with that one, can you tell us?"

He Zhuang thought for a while and said: "It's not that I want to hide it, you believe that I know this is not good."

The night wind blows He Zhuang's hair loose, and I don't know why I have been with him for six or seven years. It wasn't until this night that I discovered that He Zhuang's scalp seemed to be engraved with some strange symbols, and his ears There is also a very small image engraved on the back. Sitting next to him, I was really surprised by today's discovery. He Zhuang said, "Do you think it's strange?"

Ma Tianxing turned around and said, "What are you talking about strangely?"

I said, "Indeed, because I've never seen anyone tattooed on the scalp and behind the ears."

He Zhuang said: "This is not a tattoo."

Ma Tianxing looked at me and then at He Zhuang, but he still didn't speak in the end. Afterwards, everyone came to Nuanxin Studio in silence. After getting off the car, we rushed into the classroom. In the empty classroom, only the headmaster was alone. He sat there with a terrified expression on his face.At this time, people must not disturb easily, otherwise it will scare him to death, so we all stood beside him quietly. After an unknown period of time, the fat man took a long breath and collapsed with a "click". fell to the ground.

We hurried up and pinched people and poured cold water. It took a long time for him to come back to his senses and say: "They, they..." Before he finished speaking, he tilted his head again, and this time some milky white water came out of his mouth. liquid.We guessed it was not good, so we called the hospital quickly, but what happened to the head of the team made us feel troublesome.When we were scratching our heads in anxiety, we suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs, and when we looked over nervously, we found that Captain Chen walked down slowly from above.

We were taken aback again, but after careful observation, we found that this was indeed the real Captain Chen. He approached us step by step, smoking a cigarette, and said, "Why are you here?"

I said: "Leader, do you have to avoid us if you do this?"

Head Chen thought for a while and said, "It's not that I want to avoid you, but that I don't want to involve you."

He Zhuang said: "Commander, since this is the case, why did you use me?"

Head Chen's face suddenly changed when he heard this, and he said, "Da Zhuang, this matter is different from yours, and my identity is also different from yours."

He Zhuang said: "Leader, we will not leave."

Ma Tianxing said: "Leader, although I'm a bit stingy, it doesn't mean I'm afraid of death. You're not enough friends to leave without a word."

Head Chen looked at us one by one, patted me on the shoulder and said, "You guys are messing around, disorganized and disciplined. If I didn't come here today, things might get worse."

Ma Tianxing said: "Absolutely not, isn't there a strong man here, we are all safe."

Head Chen said to He Zhuang: "What did you tell him? Did you tell him about that?"

He Zhuang nodded and said, "Can we still think about it? Leader, now we all have to advance and retreat together."

Head Chen sighed and said, "I owe you all, thank you."

Ma Tianxing said: "Why are you talking about this, I will treat you tomorrow."

Head Chen said: "I'm afraid there will be no such time. The matter has reached the last moment, and the truth will soon come to light." While speaking, the rooster crowed, and the sky in the east began to faintly turn gray.

23. The truth of the ghost talisman
The fat man was taken away by the ambulance. I couldn't figure out something, so I took the opportunity to ask: "Commander, the concept of space you mentioned means that when the space intersects, you can see ghosts, but why can't the fat man see ghosts?" We can all see Mrs. Tang's wife?"

Head Chen said: "You have a wrong understanding. The intersection of spaces can indeed see the matter of another space, but only certain people can know this. For example, it does not mean that only those with yin and yang eyes can see ghosts." Seeing, but only the yin and yang eyes know that what we see is a ghost. In fact, we can all see, but we just don’t know it.”

I said: "Then it doesn't make sense why only that fat man can't see Mrs. Tang's wife. He should be able to see it too?"

Head Chen said: "He can indeed see it, but his wife doesn't let him see it, because she has always avoided meeting people on purpose, and she avoids it because she is human."

I said, "Why would she do that?"

Leader Chen said: "The reason is very simple. She is the creator of the ghost talisman. Any ghost talisman in the world is passed on through her, and those who want to become immortals will be completely used by her, and eventually become ghosts." her offering."

I said: "What is the purpose of her doing this? If it is for cultivating immortals, why is she still a human being?"

Head Chen sighed and said, "Xiao Luo, don't expect to figure out all the problems at once, but the truth will be figured out soon."

Teacher Tang has almost lost all his beliefs. For many years, he tried his best to turn his beloved wife into a human being, but seeing that everything was about to come true, a "man from the He family" suddenly appeared, which made Teacher Tang almost collapsed. He knew that all his calculations would be in vain, and his wife would no longer have the possibility to become a human being, so as to stay with him.

The two staggered and supported each other and ran to the small forest where they practiced. The ghost charms on the trunk were still so conspicuous. Teacher Tang shook his head and said, "Xiao Yao, I'm sorry for you. I thought everything was going to come true. Imagine it would be like this.”

Xiao Yao didn't seem to be disappointed. She put her arms around Teacher Tang and said softly, "I've been with you for 40 years, and all of this is enough for me. There is no eternity in the world or in hell. Brother Tang can be so true. That's fine."

After hearing what his wife said, Teacher Tang couldn't stop crying again. He really couldn't accept this kind of fate, and he couldn't accept it no matter what.Death is not terrible to him, what is terrible is being separated from the one he loves forever, he absolutely cannot accept such a fate, and is going to make the final decision for his wife Mr. Tang.

He gently broke away his wife's arms and said, "Xiao Yao, do you love me?"

Xiao Yao looked at him with tears in his eyes and nodded, Teacher Tang said: "Then do you believe me?"

Xiao Yao nodded again, Teacher Tang closed his eyes and let out a long breath, "Okay, no matter what, we will not be separated, no matter what happens."

Xiao Yao nodded happily to her husband, the two of them didn't say anything else, they supported each other and sat down, I don't know how long it took, the sun shone through the woods, and it was dawn, Teacher Tang said: "Xiao Yao, go and help each other. I scraped off the notch on the ghost rune, I don't want anyone here to see it."

Without hesitation, Xiao Yao stood up, walked to a tree not far away, and began to scrape off that evil memory piece by piece.But Teacher Tang slowly pulled out a dagger from his arms and said, "Xiao Yao, since I can't let you be a human being, then I will accompany you as a ghost." After finishing speaking, Teacher Tang inserted the dagger into his heart without the slightest hesitation. After the film entered his chest, countless memories suddenly flashed in Teacher Tang's mind like a mirror.
