Chapter 353 The Eerie Church
I kept an eye on it, and before I left, I put a Listening Gu in the house of the ghost mother-in-law.

In this way, if there is any movement, even if the person is not there, I can know in time, because I always feel that the ghost nurse is hiding some secrets.

On the way to the old church, Lao Liu asked Xiao Li about the abandoned church.

Xiao Li said that the old church was built more than 100 years ago. It used to be called St. Mary’s Gospel Church. After the 70s, it was basically abandoned, and the new church was built in the urban area.

My heart moved. The name of St. Mary's Gospel Church was very familiar. When the small county was infected with leprosy, it was this church that stepped forward and built a shelter deep in the mountains.

"In that church, who else is there now?" Old Liu asked.

"There shouldn't be many people there. Even if there were, they were hired to look at the gate." Xiao Li was a policeman and was quite familiar with this area.

It didn't take a few minutes to walk to the church, but the big lock hanging on the iron fence of the church made us frown.

"What should I do, should I climb over the wall next to me?" Ghost Detective Xu looked inside.

When I looked at the crooked-neck tree in the yard, I always felt that the tree had a ghostly aura, with large and small pimples on it, like pairs of eyes, which made people feel chills from the bottom of their hearts.

"Come on, I'm here, I have to go in and have a look." I looked around on tiptoe, and pointed to the north courtyard wall. There happened to be a tree over there, which was very convenient for climbing.

We had just walked under the tree when a familiar figure came around the corner.

When I saw that figure, my pupils shrank suddenly, and a huge wave was set off in my heart.

The person walking towards her was actually a ghost nurse, she was cooing, holding a handful of millet in her hand, and scattered them on the ground along the way.

"Why did she come here?" Xiao Li was impulsive, and was about to go over to question.

As soon as I grabbed Xiao Li, my face was extremely serious, because the figure walking towards me couldn't possibly be a foster witch.

When I was leaving, I left a Listening Gu at the house of the ghost nurse. Just now, through the listening Gu, I heard the ghost nurse whispering and looking for scissors at home. How could she appear here?

The figure approaching turned a blind eye to us, as if feeding chickens, and walked forward with grain.

I winked at Ghost Detective Xu, he understood, staggered, and walked towards the middle of the road.

When passing by the old woman shoulder to shoulder, Ghost Detective Xu deliberately staggered and bumped into her with his shoulder.

A weird scene happened, and the old woman was not seen dodging. The ghost detective Xu actually passed through her, staggered and fell to the side of the flower bed.

"Young man, you have long eyes when you walk." The old woman turned her face sideways and said sinisterly.

I frowned tightly, this old woman who is exactly the same as the raised hag is definitely weird.

"The world is so big, there are so many wonders, there are people who look the same." Xiao Li pouted.

"Could it be twins?" Lao Liu guessed.

"Ah, did we make a mistake at the beginning, and she is the one we are looking for?" Xiao Li slapped his legs with an annoyed tone.

Ghost detective Xu patted the dirt on his body, stood up straight, hesitating whether to test the old woman again, but I stopped him with my eyes.

Even I didn't see the scene just now, I was afraid that the ghost detective would be impulsive and take advantage of the other party.

The old woman cast a glance at us, smiled sinisterly, made a cooing sound in her mouth, and walked forward while shedding millet.

"Hiss, why do I feel that the old woman is so ghostly, especially the look in her eyes, it makes people feel cold." Old Liu took a breath.

"I'll follow and have a look, don't act rashly." I confessed, seeing that the old woman had turned the corner, I immediately chased after her.

Just turning the corner, the old woman took out a key and opened the big lock on the iron fence of the church.

My eyelids twitched. I didn't expect that the other party actually lived in the church. It seems that the foster ghosts did not lie to us, but the two identical foster ghosts, what is the relationship between them, are they really twins?
"That old woman is weird. Just now I pretended to bump into her, but I didn't touch her body." Ghost Tan Xu's voice came from behind.

"Did she get out of the way, or did you just walk right through her?" I asked, turning around.

Ghost Detective Xu thought about it for a while, and said with some uncertainty: "It seems to have passed through directly, as if her body is transparent, don't you think it's weird?"

Thoughtful eyes appeared in my eyes. If it is true that the other party’s body is illusory, as Ghost Detective Xu said, then things will be tricky, because she may be the kind of thing in the legend.

"Did you think of something?" Ghost Detective Xu asked, staring into my eyes.

I nodded, thinking of a story my second uncle told me when I was a child.

It was a ghost story about paper-cutting, and when I was young, it scared me so much that I stayed up all night.

The second uncle said that when he was a child, there was a family next door who made a living selling window grilles, and the paper-cutting work was really ingenious.

One day, grandpa got drunk and said on the table that the house next door had violated a taboo, and disaster was imminent, so he asked the second uncle not to go to the house next door if he had nothing to do.

The second uncle's curiosity was aroused, and he hurriedly asked the grandfather what kind of taboo the next door committed.

Grandpa didn't answer because he had fallen asleep lying on the table.

The second uncle looked like seven or eight years old at that time, which was the age when he was most curious. He sneaked out, lay on the window of the next door, and peeked in through the crack.

It was also this sneak peek that scared him half to death, and he fell seriously ill after returning home. If Grandpa hadn't prayed for him, he might not be able to recover from the illness.

At that time, I asked the second uncle what he saw that could scare him like that.

You must know that the second uncle accompanied the grandfather to watch the private house, and often walked around the cemetery at night, so he was quite courageous.

The second uncle said that he saw a paper figurine holding a pair of scissors and disembowelling a living person, bleeding the intestines all over the floor.

What's even more weird is that the living person didn't die, and kept smiling and looking at the paper figurine.

Such a strange scene naturally scared the second uncle to death. Later, when he recovered from his illness, he heard from a friend of the same age that just the night before his illness, the family next door to them all died and were disemboweled. .

Later, there was an even weirder thing. One day, the second uncle got out of school late, and it happened to be his turn to clean the classroom. When he returned, it was already dark.

When passing through the small woods in the east of the village, he saw someone digging the soil with a shovel. Seeing the figure of that person, he was so frightened that he ran away, because the person digging the soil was the neighbor who had been disemboweled. uncle.

The second uncle was flustered, and when he ran home, he covered himself in the blanket and shivered with fright.

Finally, when his grandfather came home, he immediately grabbed his grandfather and asked the next door what was going on.

After listening to the second uncle's narration, the grandfather was silent for a long time, and after a while, he told him that what he saw in the grove was not a living person, but a kind of evil called the sticker ghost.

This kind of evil spirit was born in a special paper-cutting ceremony. After killing a living person, it will change into the appearance of the other person. Except that it does not have a real body, its demeanor and behavior are exactly the same as that of the person who killed it.

Moreover, the person who was killed was not really dead. They would return to their souls on the night of the first seven days, and they would not be limited by their lifespan ever since.

Of course, there is no immortal person in this world. Those who perform this evil paper-cutting ceremony will endure the pain of skinning once every ten years.

The evil spirit born with the help of the paper-cutting ceremony has a parasitic relationship with the performer of the ceremony, and if one party is damaged, the other party will have a hard time.

Ghost detective Xu said that the old woman had no body, and that the two identical people, apart from being twins, was the only possibility.

Don't look at the name sticker ghost, it's ordinary, and it sounds no different from ordinary ghosts such as hanged ghosts and drowned ghosts.

But one sticker ghost is more powerful than a hundred hanged ghosts and drowned ghosts combined.

An ancestor specifically reminded in the Broken Physiognomy Sutra that if you don't have the strength of a master, it's best not to provoke this evil thing.

Because the sticker ghost is born with the ability to transform into anyone's appearance, lifelike, and there are only a few secret methods that can make it reveal its real body.

I'm riding a tiger right now, I've reached this point, no matter how dangerous the front is, I have to investigate.

Seeing that I hadn't spoken, Lao Liu walked up and down anxiously, glancing into the church yard from time to time.

After the old woman entered the church, she locked the door again, and from the beginning to the end, she didn't pay much attention to us.

Footsteps came from behind me, I turned my head and saw Lao Liu and the others walking this way.

"Liu Dui, that old woman is very ghostly. Xiao He's disappearance is probably inseparable from her. We should take measures."

Old Liu pondered for a moment, then turned his gaze to me with a questioning look in his eyes.

If it's his turn to catch criminals, this is Lao Liu's specialty, but things that have something to do with supernatural beings are obviously beyond his ability.

I looked up at the sky and tossed back and forth for most of the day, and now it was approaching evening.

"Let's climb over the wall, everyone be careful." I explained in a deep voice.

The dream that night was a demon lingering in my heart. I always felt that there was something weird hidden in this abandoned church, not just the addition of an old woman.

We walked to the tree and turned over the wall. The moment I jumped to the ground, I felt a cold breath permeating the surroundings.

"Strange, why did the temperature inside drop so much all of a sudden?" Xiao Li rubbed his hands, wondering to himself.

"It's not that the temperature is low, it's that there's a lot of yin here." Ghost Detective Xu and I have experienced several supernatural events together, and gained some insight.

I turned my head and looked around. Judging from the mottled walls, the church was very old. Some places in the back of the sun were covered with moss, and some fallen leaves and plastic bags on the ground were not cleaned.

The soil under our feet, because the pile of fallen leaves is too thick, the soil has been decomposed, exuding a stale smell.

Suddenly, I fixed my eyes and saw a pair of cold eyes staring at us by the window on the second floor of the church.
