Just as I was about to open the car door, I was startled. A bloody face was pressed tightly against the car window, with disheveled hair, creepy eyes, and blood dripping from the mouth. It looked as if it was about to rush in and eat me.
"Shit!" I was so scared that I jumped up from the car seat and hit my head on the roof. It hurt so much. I quickly took out the yellow paper and chanted a spell towards the bloody face outside the car window. The Samadhi Fire Talisman instantly burned up and was about to shoot out.
The man suddenly spoke: "No, no, no! It's me! Man Yuanyi!"
I was startled when I saw him walk around to the other end, open the car door, and walk in. Only then did I see clearly that this guy was indeed Man Yuanyi! I threw the talisman fire out the window, frowned, and asked him, "Aren't you in the tunnel? How did you get up so quickly? Where are those two frozen corpses?"
Man Yuanyi wiped the blood off his face and smoothed his messy hair, finally looking somewhat more human. He then said, "I discovered that those two ice corpses, while powerful, had no intelligence. I just held my breath and pretended to be dead, and they turned their heads back into their coffins, which is how I escaped safely. It's just that they punched me in the head earlier... By the way, where are my cousin and Ah Xue?"
I almost forgot about the important matter!
I told him about the suspected "supernatural" incident that had just happened. Man Yuanyi's eyes widened and he said, "Is everything you said true?"
I nodded: "Why would I lie to you?"
Man Yuanyi's eyes showed a look of fear, and he kept muttering: "It's over, it's over, it's over..."
I asked him what was going on. Man Yuanyi said solemnly, "This should be 'ghost recognition'!"
A ghost recognizing a relative? I was stunned.
Man Yuanyi explained, "Ghost recognition is when a person dies and is placed in a coffin. Years later, a blood relative of the deceased opens the coffin for no apparent reason, tricking the deceased into thinking that their relative has come to take them home. Consequently, the deceased's spirit will cling to them all the way home. Generally speaking, family members visiting a cemetery to pay respects to their ancestors pat their shoulders and stamp their feet after leaving. This way, the spirit of the deceased, who originally wanted to follow them home, will automatically let go..."
I was shocked to find out there is such a thing as "ghosts recognizing their relatives".
But what does this have to do with the sudden disappearance of Ning Changfeng and Ning Xue?
Man Yuanyi knew of the doubt and said, "In one of the two hanging coffins we opened just now, the body in the coffin was Ge Pulan, Axue's grandmother. So I think it is very likely that the phenomenon of 'ghost recognition' occurred. However, it is difficult for the dead to climb out from the tunnel, so my cousin and Axue are probably still in the tunnel, and they were left behind by the 'ghost recognition'."
Left behind in the tunnel by a "ghost"? No way! I had just climbed up with Ning Changfeng and Ning Xue, and even got in the car with them. How could this be possible...
Besides, even if it was a ghost claiming kinship, what did that have to do with Su Xiaoniu? Su Xiaoniu had no connection to the Ning family, no blood relationship, so how could she suddenly "disappear"?
Man Yuanyi seemed to have a sudden thought and hurriedly opened the car door and ran out. I followed him. He ran to the entrance of the garbage dump, his brow furrowed. He said, "But it's strange. My grandmother Ge Pulan's ghost isn't here. Logically, a ghost shouldn't recognize a relative. Could it be that Ge Pulan has already been here?"
Damn, can you please stop being so scary? If Ge Pulan had really been here, how could I not feel anything at all?
Man Yuanyi asked me, "When you came up just now, did you see any unusual signs?"
I scratched my head and thought for a moment, then said, "A strange, chilling wind blew from nowhere. I felt something strange, so I got in the car and called out to Ning Xue, who was in the driver's seat, twice, but she didn't respond. Then there was a loud thunderclap, and when I looked again, they were gone."
Man Yuanyi slapped his forehead and said, "It's really over now. I didn't expect Ge Pulan to come so quickly. My cousin and Axue are in a state of uncertainty as to whether they will live or die!"
From what he said, it seemed like Ge Pulan had already been here. I was shocked. Why didn't I feel anything just now? And what happened to Su Xiaoniu?
