Chapter 3 Chapter 3 They Play with the Blood Bar
Su Yun quickly coughed and said, "Seriously, you really don't find anything strange?"
The sexy ghost and the ghost bride shook their heads seriously. They had seen too many similar things. A residential community was a concentration of all kinds of human life. Every house had its own problems and was filled with strong love and hate.
Besides, what Cheng Haixiang said was indeed commonplace, so what was wrong with it? They also wanted to ask him if he was suffering from paranoia?
Cheng Haixiang was a little anxious: "Really, if you don't believe it, you can wait until dawn and come with me to see it. After moving in, you will feel that everyone is abnormal."
"So what you mean is that you think they are not human?" asked the ghost bride puzzledly.
This question was a bit extreme. Cheng Haixiang was stunned for a moment and denied it: "No, I think they are all human beings, but... they are no longer like themselves. Let me give you an example. Originally, I should have graduated from college and entered the society as a slave, but I inherited a huge inheritance and became a free young man. Can you roughly understand this gap?"
The sexy ghost and the ghost bride still shook their heads. They had never been college students, so how could they know the difference? So Cheng Haixiang placed his hope on Su Yun, hoping that Su Yun would believe what he said and that he really did not lie.
Su Yun crossed his arms subconsciously, then raised one hand to support his chin: "Are you trying to say that a person has a behavioral logic for everything he does, even if he wears a mask outside, the basic behavioral logic will not change, but the people in the community have two sets of behavioral logic?"
Cheng Haixiang nodded vigorously, feeling a sense of smoothness as if what he wanted to say was finally spoken out: "Yes! That's it! The most obvious thing is that I saw a sister taking her brother out to the supermarket to buy food. They were both very happy, but after they came back, the two were playing on the stairs, and the sister suddenly reached out and pushed her brother down the stairs."
"Could it be that this family favors boys over girls, and the sister hates her parents and brother, so she wants to kill her brother?" The sexy ghost directly stated the crueler reality.
"No, because they moved away after the accident, and they were fine afterwards," Cheng Haixiang didn't know if this counted as proof, "The child of that family still had to go to school nearby, so I saw them again after a while, and the sister and brother still had a good relationship. It seemed like they became normal after leaving the community."
Su Yun thought thoughtfully: "You saw the difference between the inside and outside of the community, so you began to suspect that there are ghosts. Are those bloody incidents in the community all manipulated by ghosts?"
Cheng Haixiang nodded: "Yes, I suspect that there is something wrong with the community. Maybe it is a vengeful spirit, or maybe the feng shui of the community is not good. I have read a lot of novels and watched a lot of supernatural videos. They all said that in this case, it is either because of bad feng shui or someone died before, and the resentment has shrouded and retaliated against everyone in the community."
The ghost was still very suspicious: "But, it seems that not many people in your community died? There were just a lot of small accidents. Maybe it was a trick of fate?"
Hearing this, Cheng Haixiang pointed to the coffin next to him and said, "Lai Shu is not playing a prank. She moved in a while ago."
It all happened three months ago, when Su Yun was still busy with the funeral. Lai Shu suddenly came to the community to look at houses. When the agent was taking her around, she met Cheng Haixiang who was picking up takeout.
The agent knew Cheng Haixiang. He knew that Cheng Haixiang had bought a very large house. In order to get the agency fee, he would go to the homes of every owner who had bought a house to ask if they wanted to rent the house. He would also tell the owners that they could make a lot of money if they rented it out.
Cheng Haixiang didn't like agents. He was annoyed by those agents who said they were nice but only wanted money. When he saw an agent saying hello, he reminded them, "The houses here are expensive and small, and not very comfortable to live in. If you have just graduated, you can look around, because this is a school district house, and it's really expensive."
Hearing him say that, the agent's face turned green, but she had to maintain her image in front of the client, so she had to say: "Haha, sister, you see, the owners in our community are still very good at joking. We are all the same age, and it is safe and stress-free to live together."
The elevator stopped while they were talking, and Lai Shu said directly: "Thank you for your concern. If your house feels a little uncomfortable, you can go buy some peach blossoms to decorate it."
Seeing that Lai Shu was not angry, the agent immediately took over the conversation and agreed with the suggestion of buying flowers, saying that people who buy flowers must love life and will be very happy to see them every day.
Later, Lai Shu lived in the community. Cheng Haixiang would occasionally see her walking around the community. He didn't know what she was doing, and it seemed like she didn't have a job. Lai Shu always came out during work or school hours. There were few people in the community during that time period, and even old men and children would rarely come out.
After meeting her several times, Cheng Haixiang suddenly realized that Lai Shu had not changed at all. She did not become gloomy or irritable. She was as calm as the first time they met. So on a nice weekday, he could not help but go downstairs to "accidentally meet" Lai Shu.
The conversation between the two sounded like a stilted chat, with each other greeting each other, mainly asking each other how they were doing and whether everything was going well.
Lai Shu understood what Cheng Haixiang meant, but she found it strange: "You seem to be different from the bachelors in the community. I remember that they were not very lively, as if their energy was drained by the company."
Cheng Haixiang touched his head and said, "I don't have a job. No, I'm a freelancer. I don't have that much pressure, so it's okay. How about you?"
"Then let's get to know each other again. I'm a charlatan." Lai Shu said, taking out the compass from her pocket.
No one introduces themselves as a charlatan. They should brag about being a master, just like Che Xuming. However, because of Lai Shu's modesty, Cheng Haixiang believed her and asked her why she came here and whether there was really something wrong here.
Lai Shu was silent for a while and said, "I don't know what's wrong here, but it makes me feel very uncomfortable, so I can't help but keep checking, but..."
But no matter how I checked, there was no problem.
Seeing that she was really young, Cheng Haixiang asked carefully, "Could it be because... you are not yet experienced enough?"
Lai Shu was stunned for a moment, lowered her head and turned her compass, and replied in a low voice: "Actually... it is possible, I didn't learn it very well..."
Therefore, they did not even think about solving any problem. Perhaps they had to find a way to stay awake first. Not knowing whether they would become another person one day, Cheng Haixiang suggested that they move to another place. After all, this place was so strange that they could investigate in another place.
However, Lai Shu refused. She said that what she studied was different from other schools. Hers was the type that was possessed by a ghost, which was generally said to be a ghost who was asking for help from a ghost. She had no way to move away.
Cheng Haixiang happened to have watched a lot of supernatural movie commentaries at that time, and he said inappropriately: "I know what you are doing, but what if you invite someone and they don't leave?"
"Some are dead, while others are very powerful. They will leave one hand to prevent ghosts from controlling them. Once the ghost doesn't want to leave, the remaining hand can drive away the ghost. However, this proposition is not absolute, because other people can't tell whether the ghost leaves after possessing it, right?" Lai Shu asked back with a smile.
Looking at Lai Shu's smile, Cheng Haixiang got goose bumps all over his body.
Because of this theory, Cheng Haixiang didn't dare to trust Lai Shu too much. He couldn't be sure whether the Lai Shu he met today was the same person as the Lai Shu he met yesterday.
After several contacts, they gradually became familiar with each other, and Cheng Haixiang suggested that they set a time, place and code. If one of them was wrong, it proved that there was a problem with the other party, and they should immediately cut off contact to protect themselves.
Of course, if Lai Shu is capable enough, Cheng Haixiang hopes that she can save him.
Because of this agreement, Cheng Haixiang found Lai Shu first and asked for help according to her instructions.
Su Yun grasped the key words: "Ask, is she a fortune teller?"
"Is there any difference between a charlatan and a fortune-teller?" Cheng Haixiang was puzzled.
"The biggest difference is the method. A witch usually uses folk remedies. Do you play games? You can understand it as, ordinary Taoist priests, alchemists and charlatans all use blue bars, but a witch doesn't. They use blood bars, and if the blood bar is empty, the person will die. And, she really didn't lie. How do you know that the person in the coffin must be the Lai Shu you know?" Su Yun spread his hands and asked back.
