Chapter 294: The Widow of the Ghost Master
At night, Lin Zhi still slept in the master bedroom and went to rest early as he was lacking energy.
It is easy to have many dreams when you are surrounded by negative energy, and today is no exception.
Lin Zhi's dream was still chaotic and weird. Things that were considered absurd in reality seemed to be extremely natural in the dream.
Lin Zhi even dreamed of his wedding with Lian Qing. People from the Special Department came to congratulate him, even Wang Mingliang, a repeat customer he had met before, and his good friend Xu Lingchun, whom he bumped into Hong Yansha, and Xu Lingchun's husband came.
The black cat Uncle San occupied a seat like a human being. Shuang Ling fed it and wished them a happy wedding.
He was wearing a white suit, and in front of him was Lian Qing, who was looking down at him.
The MC seemed to have finished his long speech, and the scene entered the stage of exchanging rings.
Unlike ordinary diamond rings, this is a pair of silver men's rings.
It is carved with thorns and flowers, with exquisite and intricate patterns.
Lian Qing's expression was extremely serious. He put the wedding ring on him with great concentration, and then extended his hand expectantly.
Lin Zhi put it on him with a smile, and the ring sparkled in the light.
After waking up, Lin Zhi thought about the content of her dream and couldn't help but smile with her head down. It was not because she felt happy and sweet, but because she was simply amused.
He doesn't attach much importance to these rituals, and he doesn't have the idea that happiness must be shown outwardly. For him, maybe one morning after making love, his lover proposing to him with a ring in his hand would be a more memorable experience than exchanging rings at such a ceremony.
Lin Zhi's personality is not that flamboyant, and she is even introverted and has the habit of hiding certain information.
Sleepiness completely disappeared. Lin Zhi pressed the swollen and painful solar plexus and prepared to get up and wash up, but he felt a slight foreign body sensation on his fingers.
He raised his left hand and found that a paper-cut ring had appeared on his ring finger at some point, exactly the same as the one in his dream.
Lin Zhi looked at it under the light for a while, turned the paper-cut ring with her hand, and opened the box where Lian Qing's finger was placed. Sure enough, there was the same object on the severed finger.
ring? Why did Lian Qing suddenly send this?
If Lian Qing had complete memories of his own, he should know that everything he said was a lie. He did not appear in his life, so love was naturally nonsense.
So he recalled memories that did not belong to this fragment of his?
Or did he actually not remember anything, but just thought that they were lovers, so there should be a ring, so that's why that strange wedding appeared in his dream?
From the initial contact, Lian Qing really had no doubts about him and even accepted this fact very naturally.
After all, the world continues to function because he has not yet seen his obsession. Lin Zhi smiled and sighed, closed the box, took off the ring on his hand and put it in his pocket.
He was going to wash up and the paper sculpture would get wet.
01 secretly shook his head, this is the bad thing about being a ghost, the gifts given are all made of paper, there is nothing you can do about it, it’s the master’s fault for not having any burial objects.
Where is the owner's money? Oh, they are all in the host's hands, so it's okay.
After washing up, Lin Zhi ate something simple and started packing his backpack.
The ticket is ready, and Shuangling will come to pick him up soon.
This time their destination was Qiong Island in the south, and they were going to the airport.
Shuang Ling was still dressed similarly to a few days ago, in short-sleeved shirt and shorts, with a black cat in her arms.
The black cat seemed to notice something strange about him and arched its body slightly.
Shuang Ling stroked the cat's fur while saying, "Brother Lin, it's very hot over there, and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. Do you have sunscreen with you?"
Lin Zhi shook his head, and Shuang Ling said, "I brought two. I'll lend you one when the time comes. Brother Lin, you are so white and your stratum corneum looks very thin. Don't get sunburned."
Lin Zhi didn't refuse and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you."
This time, there were not only Shuang Ling but also two other staff members from the Special Department. Both were men. One wore a cotton T-shirt and shorts and looked sleepy. He introduced himself as Gu Xing. The other was named Chen Xun and sat and lay down like a soldier.
There was an aura about Chen Xun that Lin Zhi didn't like very much. It wasn't because he was evil, but because he was too upright.
From the conversation along the way, Lin Zhi learned that Chen Xun was different from Shuang Ling and the others. He did not have the Yin-Yang Eyes, but was born with a pure Yang body that could restrain evil spirits. In order to avoid accidents during the operation, the department specially seconded Chen Xun to participate in this trip to Qiong Island.
They were not taking an ordinary flight, the car could take off as soon as it arrived at the destination.
Gu Xing was taking a nap and Chen Xun was talking little. In this atmosphere, Shuang Ling didn't speak either. Lin Zhi was quietly handling things on her phone.
After communicating with the gold shop, Lin Zhi turned off his phone.
Naturally, he never put on the paper-cut ring again and placed it together with Lian Qing's severed finger.
The sky outside the window is boundless, and the planes flying by leave traces.
"Doctor He, what are you daydreaming about?"
A waving hand brought He Ting back to her senses. She withdrew her gaze from the trail cloud and smiled at the nurse in front of her.
The two chatted casually for a while, and He Ting asked, "How is the patient in bed 3 who was sent in at noon? Has his family come?"
Because it was a recent surgery, He Ting still remembered the man who was sent there with a bloody head.
The man was brought in by an ambulance from the abandoned old hospital area. The causes of the wounds on his head were complicated, with injuries from impact and falling, but the man was still strong enough, and He Ting successfully rescued him.
He Ting remembered him not only because of his wound, but also because of the place where he was injured. When He Ting was a child, her family lived near the old hospital area and she often went there to play. The wall of the old hospital area carried her childhood memories.
But later, a terrorist incident occurred in the old hospital area, where someone stabbed dozens of people to death. After this incident, the number of people in the hospital decreased. Later, all kinds of haunted rumors appeared in the hospital, so the hospital closed one year.
As the city continued to develop, that area became more and more dilapidated. He Ting's family moved out shortly after the hospital closed. Today, when she suddenly heard the name of the old hospital area, it brought back her memories.
She didn't think much about the reason why the man was injured. A remote place would always be used by people to do shady things. Maybe the man had offended someone or something and was beaten like this.
"Doctor He, you must have remembered it wrongly. The patient in bed 3 was discharged yesterday."
"I'm talking about the man with a broken head who was brought in this afternoon."
The nurse asked in confusion, "No, you didn't have surgery this afternoon."
The nurse's genuine expression made He Ting's heart tremble. She said with a strange expression: "Sister Liu, you followed what I did, how could you forget it?"
"I don't have Alzheimer's disease yet. If you don't believe me, look for the records."
The nurse grumbled in dissatisfaction and immediately went to look through the records.
The nurse found the record and said emphatically, "Look, there's nothing there."
The hospital's procedures are complicated and rigorous. Not to mention an operation, even some consumables will be recorded.
He Ting flipped through it several times in disbelief, then frowned and asked other people who had participated in the operation. They were also surprised and said they had no impression of it.
"Doctor He, are you hallucinating because of exhaustion?"
"Doctor He, why don't we switch shifts tonight so you can have a good rest."
He Ting didn't believe it was an illusion. The patient's wounds felt so real, and even if she was sick from exhaustion, this wouldn't happen, right?
He Ting asked other patients in the ward and their families, and the answers he got were all negative.
How is that possible?
He Ting was completely distraught. She couldn't work anymore. After switching shifts with her colleague, she left the hospital feeling a little dazed.
The afternoon sun was shining brightly as she walked ahead, totally unaware that the shadow behind her was swaying slightly, like flesh and blood wriggling.
At the same time, in front of the abandoned old hospital, the atmosphere within the team was extremely tense.
Lin Zhi looked at the dilapidated hospital sign with a cold expression.
An hour ago, the plane landed on Qiong Island. After meeting up with the people from the special department here, they arrived at their destination. But when there were still a few dozen minutes of driving time, Lin Zhi discovered that the positioning point representing Lian Qing's torso had disappeared.
Lin Zhi initially thought that there was a bug in 01, but after careful checking, 01 found that there was nothing wrong with the map. 01's authority is higher than the mystical arts of the small world, and no one can deceive it, so there is only one possibility left.
I don’t know what merged with Lian Qing’s torso, so the data determined that this part of the limb no longer belonged to Lian Qing, so the location disappeared.
Lin Zhi and the people from the Special Department searched the abandoned hospital for an hour but found no clues.
There is a very serious negative energy and resentment here, but Lian Qing's body is not there.
The person in charge of this special department operation was Gu Xing, but everyone looked at the young man standing at the door.
He often has a gentle face with a smile on his face and a blank expression. His aura is not fierce or overbearing, but it makes people feel cold in their hearts.
Shuang Ling asked reluctantly, "Brother Lin, what should we do next?"
Her fingers nervously grasped the cat's hair, and she couldn't help but think of an experience during a certain operation. She had mistakenly entered a cave alone and lost her way. She finally walked to a place where she felt she could relax. After unconsciously catching a strand of white spider silk, she realized that she had been in the spider king's web.
She thought it was a safe and harmless place, but in fact it was full of murderous intentions. She felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave and her whole body was stiff, just like she feels now.
"First ask around to see if there are any unusual times. I'll try to find him by other means later."
Lin Zhi has always been an emotionally stable person. Even though his heart is filled with anger at this moment, his mind remains calm.
The sun is too strong right now, and there are no people with sufficient yang energy around, so it is not suitable to communicate with Lian Qing.
The special department personnel were deployed near the abandoned hospital area and dispersed to search for information.
This area is mostly desolate, with almost no available surveillance, so we can only keep asking people.
After passing another house, Lin Zhi stood in the backlit stairwell and suddenly felt like smoking.
He is not addicted to smoking, but at this time he seems to need a little nicotine to calm his mind.
Lin Zhi doesn't have a violent temper. In most cases, he is calm and almost indifferent, and he has a kind of "it's none of my business" indifference towards everyone and everything in the world, so he will be moved by extreme enthusiasm and love, which will make him feel alive.
Lin Zhi rarely gets angry. Even if he dislikes people or things, he will not waste his emotions. He will not be happy about the endings of those losers who become his stepping stones.
He has never been the kind of person who wants the people he loves to live and hates to death. His world is full of interests, and he looks at people only for how much benefit he can extract from them.
The initial interest in the lover is because he meets his preferences and provides him with emotional value.
So he didn't feel sad when he left for the first time. The other person liked him, and he didn't feel guilty about using her as a vibrator.
But as time goes by, he has already brought people into his own domain.
There were footsteps coming up the stairs. It was Gu Xing coming out of a house.
The man was lazy, his slightly long hair made him look sloppy, and his unremarkable facial features always showed a sleepy look. But the occasional gleam in his eyes made people realize that he was not a simple person.
Gu Xing asked: "Want a cigarette?"
Lin Zhi nodded and thanked him.
He held the cigarette between his fingers, the flame of the lighter flickered, and smoke came out from his lips.
Gu Xing said while smoking: "Don't worry too much, you will definitely find it."
Of course Lin Zhi knew it, but she didn't know why Gu Xing was so sure.
Seeing people looking at him, Gu Xing said, "You probably don't know, he is considered my senior brother. You are haunted by a ghost, but you are wearing his beads. He hates others touching his things the most. You don't need to think to know who the ghost haunting you is."
Gu Xing pushed the hair that was blocking his eyes away. This was why he did not doubt what he said even though he had never seen this man around Lian Qing before.
If what this person said was a lie, he would not be able to wear the Bodhi necklace that Lian Qing had kept for more than 20 years, and he would die suddenly within three days of sleeping next to Lian Qing's coffin.
But this person only had a mild amount of Yin energy entering his body, which showed that his good senior brother really treasured this person and was controlling the evil energy so that it would not spread wantonly.
He remembered that when he was not proficient in drawing talismans, he envied his senior brother's good drawing skills and suspected that his senior brother's brush was good, so he secretly took the brush. Although he returned it, he ended up getting a brush and 300 yellow talisman homework assignments. This made him completely understand his senior brother's territoriality and revenge.
Later, something happened to his senior brother's family, and he was buried in a Buddhist temple. When they met again, he seemed even more indifferent, as if he had no worries. In the end, he died for revenge and to save all sentient beings, which did not surprise him at all.
However, the death of a genius always makes people sigh. Gu Xing thought that based on Lian Qing's personality, his soul should have returned to heaven and earth long ago. He didn't expect that he would turn into a ghost because of his obsession. In this case, he will definitely let his partner find his body.
Out of good intentions, Gu Xing still gave a reminder: "You'd better go to a temple or Taoist temple to stay for a while, and then contact him when you feel better. However, it's not good for your body to pull back and forth like this, so you should weigh it yourself."
Gu Xing didn't intend to mention the matter of exorcising ghosts. If the young couple was willing, why should he interfere? Although the most important thing was that he couldn't beat Lian Qing. He was so perverted when he was alive, what would happen after he died?
When he was still a human being, at least he could communicate. Now that he is dead, there is no way to communicate. Then he may really die young.
"Thanks for your advice."
Lin Zhi put out the cigarette and continued to inquire about the news.
His fingers touched the soft beads, and he felt a little better. It was because of what Gu Xing said, but not because of the sentence "I will definitely find it", but because he didn't have to say it. People who were familiar with Lian Qing knew Lian Qing's love for him from the details.
The investigation process was not smooth. Most people said nothing happened. Some people said they knew something, but it was something completely unrelated. But there were also a few who said they heard the sound of an ambulance.
Gu Xing: "Although I don't know what took it away, the thing that took it away is very powerful and can actually deceive people's perception. The few people who heard the sound are people with strong perception and were not affected."
Being able to affect people and things within a certain range is not something that ordinary ghosts can do.
With caution, everyone followed the clues of the ambulance, went to the hospital closest to the old campus, and investigated the surveillance along the way.
As they expected, there were some problems with the surveillance not long ago.
Either it was not recorded, or it was damaged, repeated, or blurry. Even the ultra-clear lenses used by modern technology cannot capture the strange magnetic field force.
It was getting dark and the lamp posts on the roadside were lit up.
He Ting walked from the living room to the kitchen. The rice was ready and she prepared to cook.
She had already thought about what to eat in the evening: stir-fry some shredded pork with green peppers and cook some spinach and pork liver soup.
But when she entered the kitchen, she found that the pork liver that she had placed in the bowl to soak in blood was gone, and even the shredded pork that she had cut and marinated was gone. The green peppers and spinach in the basket were still there, indicating that she had indeed bought vegetables.
He Ting stood in the kitchen feeling somewhat empty, and once again felt a strong sense of disobedience with reality.
She bent down and opened the cupboard, and found that she was indeed missing a large bowl and a plate, the two bowls and plates she used to soak the pork liver and marinate the meat.
It wasn't her problem, she wasn't hallucinating at all.
He Ting couldn't stand in the kitchen any longer. The more she thought about it, the more scared she became. When she thought of the non-existent patient, she became even more panicked.
She turned on all the decorative lights in the living room, and after fidgeting for a while, she decided to stay at her friend's house for the night.
She hurriedly took the key and ran out of the door without even bothering to turn off the light, so naturally she didn't notice the unnatural shadow behind her.
He Ting closed the car door and started the car.
She was feeling uneasy, so naturally she didn't notice that there was a car following behind her.
In the afternoon, Lin Zhi and his team found the hospital and discovered that the hospital surveillance had been interfered with, but the clues ended there.
Until dusk fell, the severed finger showed Lin Zhi the way.
Their original destination was not the car in front, but in the gap between the two cars, the severed finger suddenly changed direction, and anyone with a discerning eye could tell something was wrong.
He Ting's friend lived nine kilometers away. She did not drive her car into the underground garage. Instead, she found a parking space outside, locked the car door and walked inside.
She was startled by the sudden appearance of several people. The girl with a black cat squatting on her body smiled at her soothingly and showed her police ID.
"Hello young lady, you may be involved in a case, and we need you to follow us back to the bureau for investigation."
Next to the girl was a man in shorts with a sleepy face, and on the other side was a young man who was so good-looking that he looked like a star on a fashion show. The styles of the three people were extremely disparate, making the police officer's ID in the girl's hand look like a joke.
However, the soldier with a crew cut and several other men in plain clothes behind him seemed very reliable.
He Ting was just about to nod when he saw the people in front of him become tense.
The sleepy man opened his eyes, and a yellow talisman appeared in his hand, burning in the air as he chanted a spell. The girl drew her gun and the others were also on high alert.
He Ting felt something was wrong and couldn't help but look back, and saw the most horrifying scene of his life.
Her shadow was extremely bloated, and a monster crawled out from it.
Under the head of the patient at noon was a body that was obviously not the right size, and the body did not have proper limbs. It was clearly the body of an adult man, but the hands and feet were like those of a child of a few years old, like shrunken and weird flesh protrusions.
He Ting couldn't even make a scream, he closed his eyes and fainted.
Shuang Ling immediately supported the person, and at the same time she heard Lin Zhi's voice.
"Give me the gun."
Shuang Ling obeyed subconsciously and threw the gun to Lin Zhi.
The next moment, the exorcism bullet accurately hit the monster's head.
The young man holding the gun did not stop and fired several shots, avoiding the man's body and hitting the monster's head, hands and feet.
"Get out of his body."
Get out of the body that belongs to me.
It was not pure love and possessiveness, but was mixed with an attitude of dominance that did not allow for questioning, and it came from the desire for control that was fueled by Lin Zhi's abnormal body cleanliness.
In addition to protecting his lover's body, he is also protecting his property.
When I fell in love with you, I was the second ruler of your body.
