125 Eyes

◎Each has its own imperfections◎

Both Qi Qiuxue's words and the scene before him were creepy.

Su Wen uttered a "huh" sound and subconsciously raised his hand to rub his arm. More and more people were gathering around him. Many people with poor acceptance ability felt their stomachs churning and began to retch uncontrollably just by standing at a distance and glancing into the house.

"There's a ghost, there's a ghost in this hotel!"

"He was killed by a ghost!"

"I want to leave, even if I have to pay a huge penalty. If we stay any longer, our lives will be in danger!"

“…”

Such remarks continued until the police arrived. Soon, the scene was cordoned off and everyone was ordered to return to their rooms to await questioning.

Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing returned to the room together as requested. Today's filming was doomed to be cancelled, and it was likely that it would not be possible to continue in the next few days.

"Xia Jian's murderers were undoubtedly his mother and father." Combining the clues she had gathered over the past few days, Qi Qiuxue quickly began to review the situation. "I think it's probably related to the previous car accident."

"According to reports, the root cause of their deaths was brake failure, causing the car to accidentally hit the roadside guardrail, resulting in the accident. But if it was just a simple traffic accident, I think the two people's spirits would not have been able to rest in peace until now."

"There's something wrong with that car accident." Li Yiqing opened his lips and gave the answer.

Qi Qiuxue nodded. "I think so, and there's a very high possibility that the brake failure wasn't an accident, but the result of someone secretly manipulating it. And that person is probably Xia Jian."

Li Yiqing frowned slowly: "...Why did he kill his relatives?"

"There are many reasons. Perhaps it's a long-standing grudge, or perhaps it's a desire to profit from it." Qi Qiuxue paused for a moment before continuing, "Remember that time when paparazzi captured Xia Jian inexplicably injured?"

"At first, the entire internet believed that given his temperament, he would definitely take the abuser to court. But unexpectedly, Xia Jian just gritted his teeth and swallowed his anger, taking this loss in silence. This incident happened shortly before Xia Jian's parents died."

Li Yiqing: "Axue means that there is a high possibility that the two things are related?"

"Hmm." Qi Qiuxue pursed her lips before saying, "It's very likely that Xia Jian was beaten because he violated the other party's interests, and he killed his relatives to repay that part of the interests..."

"So he deliberately caused the car accident in order to get his mother and father's inheritance as soon as possible, or to defraud insurance."

"That's probably right."

The truth is often cruel. Li Yiqing paused, feeling sorry for Xia Jian's mother and father. "Something must be wrong. If that's the case, why is Xia Jian only getting his comeuppance now?"

"His mom and dad are perfectly capable of killing him like this, aren't they?"

Qi Qiuxue thought for a moment before saying, "Could it be that during this period, the two of them didn't want to retaliate, but were unable to do so?"

Li Yiqing instantly understood what Qi Qiuxue meant: "In other words, Xia Jian had someone perform a ritual to suppress the souls of the two."

Qi Qiuxue nodded in response: "Yes."

"Could this be his doing?" Li Yiqing lowered his eyes, took out the talisman he got yesterday from his pocket, and gently placed it on the table.

Qi Qiuxue looked at the talisman and said, "Probably not. Xia Jian must have only recently met this person through the director's connections. Otherwise, he should have invited him over or gone to see him in person the night he fainted, and not waited until the next day."

"He seems to have a close relationship with the director. The reason he helped Xia Jian that day was because of this relationship with the director. But why didn't he intervene later? Perhaps he realized that the ghost power attached to Xia Jian was growing stronger and that Xia Jian was no longer able to recover."

“…”

About half an hour later, the police came and knocked on the door and briefly learned about the situation.

Xia Jian's death was so horrific that it would be difficult to achieve this level of death with human power. Such a case has never happened before. The police said they would conduct a thorough investigation, but they also repeatedly warned everyone not to spread the matter for fear of causing social panic.

"Got it." Qi Qiuxue and Li Yiqing agreed very cooperatively.

After sending the police away, Su Wen pushed the door open and entered the room. Qi Qiuxue told her all the clues that she and Li Yiqing had deduced. At the same time, the news of Xia Jian's accidental death spread like wildfire and directly became a hot search.

Someone filmed the ambulance taking him away. Although the scene of Xia Jian's death was not directly captured, the blood-stained white cloth covering the body was enough to make everyone imagine how miserable his death was.

For a time, a large-scale crusade against the crew was launched on the Internet. Some people even threatened to come offline and indiscriminately attack all the actors and staff of the crew to seek justice for the death of Xia Jian.

These remarks caused panic among people, and many people offered to resign. Those who really couldn't leave simply chose to go on strike, repeatedly tagging the director in the group, asking how to deal with the matter and whether the film could still be made.

The uproar lasted until the evening, and finally forced the director to come out and explain that the filming of the movie would be suspended for a few days to give everyone enough time to rest and adjust. He also gave red envelopes of compensation to every staff member, which barely calmed everyone's emotions.

At night.

Qi Qiuxue lay in bed and couldn't fall asleep for a long time. There was obviously more than one ghost in the copy. Every grievance has its perpetrator and every debt has its creditor. Xia Jian's mother and father had completed their revenge and fulfilled their wish, but what about those eyes?

According to other people's oral accounts of seeing ghosts, these eyes seem to appear in different rooms every night. Their real bodies should be very young children who have no intention of hurting others, but are more playful.

Qi Qiuxue wanted to see them again tonight. Perhaps before the man distributed the talismans to everyone, this wish would be difficult to realize, but right now—

Qi Qiuxue tore up all the talismans in her and Li Yiqing's hands and flushed the pieces neatly into the toilet.

While everyone else has talismans to ward off evil spirits, she, who seems to have no protection at all, is obviously the most likely to see the ghosts wandering around the hotel again.

As she expected, about ten minutes later, the ceiling above their heads suddenly became lively. Pairs of eyes appeared above their heads like stars in the night sky, floating up and down and making giggling sounds.

"Long time no see." Qi Qiuxue raised her lips and spoke to them as gently as possible. "You don't mean to hurt me, right?"

After he finished speaking, the eyes moved faster.

"Why don't you show your true self?" she asked, slowly raising her hand and inviting those eyes. "I want to see you, is that okay?"

As if hesitant, those eyes did not make any move.

Li Yiqing and Qi Qiuxue looked at each other, and after a moment, they raised their hands as well. "Let me see you, okay? We don't have any ill intentions."

Perhaps the sincere invitation of the two touched them. After a few seconds, those eyes suddenly disappeared, and were replaced by children crawling out from the darkness one after another.

No head, no eyes, no nose, no tongue...

Each has its own imperfections.
