Mysterious country

No one was at home, so the room was quiet, and the curtains were still tightly closed, making the living room look very dark.

Leng Yue closed the door, put the array disk he was holding into his backpack again, and without waiting for Xia Qi to say anything, he walked around the rooms.

Xia Qi sat on the sofa in the living room, smoking and waiting for Leng Yue's results.

Last time, because his parents were both there, Leng Yue was not allowed to take a good look, but this time it was different. Leng Yue had enough time to inspect the entire room.

Leng Yue walked around the whole room back and forth, and then he returned to the living room and said to Xia Qi:

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

“Can a carbon pen work?”

"As long as you can write."

Although he didn’t know why Leng Yue suddenly asked him to find pen and paper, Leng Yue never did anything meaningless, so he quickly followed Leng Yue’s instructions and found a few pieces of pure white A4 paper, and A black carbon pen.

"See if it works."

Xia Xia Qi put the pen and paper on the coffee table in front of the sofa. Leng Yue just nodded symbolically after looking at it, then picked up the carbon pen and started sketching on the paper.

Xia Tian Qi looked on curiously and saw that what Leng Yue had drawn on the paper looked like a time hourglass, divided into upper and lower parts.

"What did you draw?"

"This is the formation arranged in your home."

After saying that, Leng Yue pointed at the pattern on the paper that looked like an hourglass of time and said:

"During the day, your mother's ghost will be sealed in the illusion above, and at night, it will be released and enter the normal period in the middle. This is the intersection point of the upper part and the lower part, so your mother can Act like a normal person at night.

But then, it will enter the second half of unconscious wandering, just like most wandering souls, wandering without consciousness.

After that, the formation will turn around, and your mother will enter the intersection point again from below and return to normal again. This is the time when she gets up early to go to work, and then she enters the first half of the illusion, and so on. "

Xia Qi was secretly speechless as he listened. He originally thought that his grandfather had arranged a formation at home that would allow his mother to live like a normal person, but now listening to Leng Yue's explanation, this was completely different from what he had imagined. .

Seeing that Xia Qi was silent, Leng Yue glanced at the pattern on the paper and continued:

"I think you will be very confused about one thing. Since your mother only has a few clear time periods, why can you still call her?"

"Yeah, I thought I might have been tricked by grandpa before, but now it seems that wasn't the case."

"This is actually very easy to implement, because as long as someone pretends to be your mother, it will be fine to make normal phone calls with you."

"Impersonation? What do you mean?"

"For example, raise a little ghost and let it disguise itself as your mother and answer your phone calls on weekdays. This is not a difficult task for a person who can arrange this formation."

"My grandpa is really thoughtful."

After hearing this, Xia Qi smiled bitterly and shook his head. The person he had been talking to on the phone for a long time was not his mother at all, but a kid raised by his grandfather.

"Raising a kid, is my grandpa a corpse keeper?"

"Raising imps is not just for corpse keepers. If I want, I can also try to raise one."

Leng Yue shook her head after hearing this and did not agree with Xia Qi's point of view.

"Then where is the little devil that grandpa raised?"

"At your home."

"But I don't feel it at all."

"It's on that Barbie doll."

"You said that the ghost that lives in Barbie is the little ghost that I talk to on the phone every day?"

Xia Xia Qi looked at Leng Yue with some suspicion and asked:

"But when it attacked me the night before yesterday, the strength it showed was far more than that of a little devil. It was clearly a ghost that was infinitely close to an evil spirit."

"As a formation eye, it absorbs the resentment from the destroyed ghosts every day. It would be strange if it was still a little ghost after such a long time.

But if I guess correctly, your grandfather should change an imp to serve as the formation eye every once in a while. Otherwise, no matter how bad the imp used as the formation eye is, he will be a peak evil ghost.

The reason why I won't let you touch that doll is because it is the eye of the formation. Once you throw it away, the formation will be finished. "

After Leng Yue said this, Xia Qi couldn't help but recall the scene that night in his mind. He remembered that the walls in the bedroom had cracks along with the cracks of the ghost doll. It could be seen that the little ghost sealed in the Barbie doll was He wanted to break through his grandfather's seal and escape from the eyes of the formation, thereby destroying the formation and regaining his freedom.

Fortunately, his grandfather was cautious, otherwise, not only would he be dead that night, but his parents would also be unavoidable.

"If it weren't for you, I might not be able to solve this mystery for a long time."

Xia Xia Qi sighed, then looked at the expressionless Leng Yue and said:

"Thank you Leng Shen."

"snort!"

Leng Yue not only didn't feel cold about Xia Qi's sudden thanks, but actually seemed very unhappy. She snorted coldly and asked:

"Where's the Barbie?"

"Probably in my bedroom."

Xia Qi and Leng Yue walked into his bedroom and found the scary-looking Barbie doll in the closet.

Leng Yue took the Barbie doll out of the cabinet, looked at it, and then threw it back into the cabinet.

"I can't get rid of this thing. After all, it is sealed inside as a formation eye."

After hearing Leng Yue say that there was nothing he could do about the ghost doll, Xia Qi couldn't help but ask:

"Then can you feel its presence?"

"I can feel it, but it's not as obvious as the last time I came to your house. He seems to be weakened."

Xia Qi was a little surprised by Leng Yue's perception. In fact, he couldn't feel the existence of the ghost at all. This also made him puzzled and asked:

"Why don't I feel any sense of ghosts?"

"I don't have a perception of it, but I have a perception of the formation. Because it is the eye of the formation, I can feel its existence.

Under normal circumstances, if a ghost wants to hide, we can't sense it. "

He remembered that Leng Yue had said the same thing to him, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.

Xia Qi already knows the situation at home. He is currently unable to solve this mess, so he is too lazy to think about it. After all, it will not only make him anxious and angry, but also make him feel very bad. It will not affect the situation at home. There is no improvement at all.

"By the way, Leng Shen, there's something I almost forgot to tell you."
