Chapter 301: The Widow of the Ghost Master
The house has not been lived in for many years and is very dusty.
Lin Zhi didn't go inside because her fingers were hooked.
Lian Qing said calmly: "He is not here. There is no residual breath here. He has not been back for a long time. We need to find someone to ask about his whereabouts."
Evil ghosts and demons are not of the same kind, and Lian Qing had no way of directly contacting the snake that might have taken away his flesh and blood.
Lin Zhi nodded slightly. Since he knew the target was not here, he did not go into the house.
Today the newlyweds walked in, and together they moved the offering cabinet out.
Apart from the thick dust, there were a few burnt-out sticks stuck in the incense burner, and the wax solidified irregularly on the wooden table, as if it had merged into one, with traces of corruption over the years everywhere.
The bride carefully took the statue of the immortal down from the altar and asked someone to help carry the altar cabinet to the trunk of their car. She then wrapped up the statue of the immortal and held it in her arms, fearing that it might be treated with carelessness.
Gu Xing walked a few steps inside, calculated something, and burned a yellow talisman. He concluded that the guardian deity supported by the bride's parents had not returned, and left the yard.
As the person in charge of the operation, he arranged things in a very methodical manner.
First, he asked the district staff if there were any with such a family background, then he inquired about where the most powerful Chu Ma lived nearby, and then he sent someone to go back with the bride and groom to see if Chang Xian would return.
In summer, the sun rises early, and if everyone stays here, it will attract too much attention.
After getting in the car, Gu Xing looked at Lin Zhi and asked, "My arrangement should be similar to that of my senior brother, right?"
Lin Zhi didn't comment and smiled, "You look like a student being watched by a teacher."
Gu Xing returned to his usual sleepy state, leaning bonelessly on the passenger seat and saying, "Who said it wasn't true?"
"Senior brother is a person with a very strict set of standards and rules. How can you stand him and still be in a relationship with him?"
Chen Xun, who was driving, and Shuang Ling, who was sitting in the back seat on the other side, didn't say anything. They pricked up their ears secretly. Even the black cat stopped wagging its tail and pretended to be asleep.
When Lian Qing heard Gu Xing saying bad things about him, he wanted to tell him to shut up, but when he heard Gu Xing's next words, he stopped emitting cold air.
He was also very curious about how he and Lin Zhi fell in love in the first place and what Lin Zhi would think of him.
Unfortunately, he turned into a ghost and couldn't pretend he wasn't there.
"Does he have a very strict code of conduct? I don't think so. Maybe you don't know him too well. He is very easy to get along with."
Lin Zhi was very good at avoiding the main point and shifting the focus, and she responded to everyone with a smile.
In order to present the details of his love affair to the people in the Special Department, he had made up some details, patching them together based on his previous experiences and mixing together information from the past and the present.
There is indeed no such thing as what happened exactly in this world. After all, when he arrived, Lian Qing was already dead, and his death was very broken.
Lin Zhi's words made it impossible to ask about the details of his relationship with Lian Qing. Gu Xing was silent for a while and said almost flatteringly: "Love really makes people blind."
Shuang Ling joked, "Brother Gu, I can tell from the look of your face that you've never been in a relationship before."
Gu Xing said lazily, "Yes, I plan to talk about it after I die. After all, I have to draw 500 Taoist talismans when I am alive, so how can I have time to find a partner? Some ghosts don't know how to feel sorry for others unless they are lonely."
Suddenly, a chill came over his heart, and Gu Xing heard a cold voice.
"One thousand."
Gu Xing felt good for being sarcastic and servile just now, but he didn't expect that his senior brother couldn't afford to play with him.
He looked at Lin Zhi with a sad face and said, "You call this getting along well?"
"Brother, could you not be so cruel and vicious in front of your lover?"
Lian Qing said slowly, "One thousand and five."
Not being able to ask a single question is a sign of incompetence, and sowing discord is an even greater crime.
Gu Xing looked outside and changed the subject: "Oh, it's almost dawn."
You love-dead guy, just go wherever you want to fall in love with!
After a short break in the division, Lin Zhi and his team heard about a famous shaman.
This was not a difficult task. The other party was registered in the system and was a non-staff member of the special department, with a relatively high rank.
"She is a famous witch in the surrounding area. She worships the Huang family's spirit medium. Everyone calls her Ah Chun Po."
Grandma Chun is over seventy years old, but she still looks very strong.
She had neatly combed silver hair and a thin figure, looking like a very formal old lady. But when she put on the clothes and crown used to summon the gods, and danced a sacrificial dance and sang in a mysterious and ancient tone, she was completely different.
In the eyes of those who don’t understand, it seems like a crazy movement, but in these seemingly random movements, there is a sense of regularity and wildness.
Her bones creaked, her facial features twisted wildly, she cried and laughed, and at one point she suddenly became quiet and her demeanor changed drastically.
She became less human-like, her eyes wide open, the corners of her mouth turned down, and her posture gave people a feeling of anger and impatience, as if countless short hairs would emerge from her pores at any moment and turn her into a weasel.
"Eighty miles west, he's usually coiled in that cave. If he's not there, ask someone else."
A shrill sound came out of Achunpo's mouth. She came and left quickly without stopping at all.
Achunpo's body shook a few times and then returned to normal.
Lin Zhi thanked him: "Grandma, thank you."
Grandma Chun waved her hand and said with great pride: "Why are you being polite? I am a party member, and it is only natural for me to contribute to the country."
Fortunately, the person who came to ask for help did not hear these words, otherwise he might have experienced the same shock as the guy with a buzz cut, Wang Mingliang.
Everyone rushed to the location Wong Tai Sin mentioned and headed towards the cave in the mountains.
Before reaching the cave, everyone saw a human leg hanging diagonally on a tree branch. Fortunately, it was daytime, otherwise several special department employees would have been terrified.
Under the tree, there was a patch of scattered rotten flesh, and the surrounding grass and trees were all corroded, accompanied by an unknown mucus.
Chen Xun quickly climbed up the tree and took down the human leg.
Lin Zhi nodded to everyone, and soon after entering the mountain, the punctuation on the system map was restored.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it was correct.
But unlike the previous neatness, this leg seemed to have something wrong.
Lin Zhi put the leg into the box, looked at the spots of corrosion on it, frowned and said nothing.
If the demon hadn't already turned into a pile of rotten meat, he would have wanted him to die again.
This time the rotten flesh was not as lively as before, and it couldn't even transform into corpse-eating bugs and escape. The whole body was grayish white, as if it had been consumed once.
Judging from the mucus on its body that was exactly the same as that of the groom, it was also swallowed and spit out by Chang Xian.
Gu Xing placed an incense burner at the entrance of the cave, lit some incense, briefly informed the other party of the whole story, and informed them that they were about to deal with the rotten meat and there was no need to be hostile.
Inside the cave, a giant snake was coiled up half-dead, with some snake scales lying around it.
After practicing for a long time, he never expected that what he ate last night would cause him so much pain. That unknown mass of rotten meat actually wanted to swallow his body, and he just vomited it out after tormenting for a long time.
I can only slowly recuperate from my current injuries... Hey...how did I get to eat some of the offerings?
The human and the snake did not interfere with each other, and the people from the special department quickly dealt with the flesh and blood of the demon, bringing the matter to an end.
Lin Zhi was in a bad mood on the way back, and everyone knew it, but no one talked to her.
Gu Xing didn't know much about this field. He didn't even know why his senior brother's body hadn't decayed. He had no idea what to do with his senior brother's limbs that had been corroded by the stomach acid in the snake's belly.
He watched Lin Zhi go upstairs in silence and sighed unconsciously.
He muttered quietly, "I really don't know if I can have a relationship like this before I die."
Shuang Ling coughed twice and reminded: "Brother Gu, please don't try to live forever in this way."
Gu Xing glanced at her and asked, "When did your ears become as pointy as a cat's?"
"My third uncle is a cat, so it's normal for me to have this kind of hearing."
Shuangling smiled and lifted the cat up, rubbing it with his cheek.
"So amazing, go practice your spear skills later, and then recite to me which exorcism spell to use in which situation, and the effects of different talismans."
"Captain Gu, you can't drag me down with you just because you were punished by the company!"
Gu Xing sneered: "If you can draw talismans, I would give you half of it."
The voices faded into the night, and everything fell silent.
The lamps that had not yet been repaired were unable to work, so Lin Zhi took the box home and turned on the flashlight on her cell phone.
The corroded skin had some ugly bumps and unevenness. Lin Zhi stroked one of the wounds with his fingers and asked the ghost that appeared beside him: "Is there any way to repair it?"
Lian Qing thought for a while and raised his hand slightly.
The next moment, the skin of the stump in front of him regained its smooth and flat appearance, just like when its owner was alive.
Lin Zhi raised an eyebrow: "Don't hallucinate."
Lian Qing honestly withdrew his influence on Lin Zhi, looked at his part and said, "Maybe there will be a way after I put it all together."
He was not very sure, after all, it was only the last part left, and he still didn't remember Lin Zhi.
The limbs looked really bad in this way, and Lian Qing was not satisfied after seeing it.
"If there is really no other way, then just leave it like this."
Although Lin Zhi did not have obsessive-compulsive disorder, he did have certain requirements for alignment. The flesh and blood displayed in the coffin was the body he loved most in this world, so he naturally hoped that it would be intact, but he did not want to repair it.
After all, this is just a virtual place created by data. When the mission is over, not to mention this body, both he and Lian Qing will appear in a world outside this world.
"There will be a way."
Lian Qing slowly tightened his grip on Lin Zhi's hand, his voice becoming more confident.
The dark pupils hid the emotion in his eyes. Lin Zhi was so tolerant of him and didn't mind his ugly body parts even after death, but he couldn't help but care, and this also made him feel more guilty.
He looked at the soft hand he was holding. Compared to the healthy and warm white of humans, his skin had the paleness of the dead, emitting a cold feeling in the dim light.
He felt somewhat dissatisfied, but he hugged Lin Zhi's body more greedily, touching his soft, slightly curved belly.
Although there is only this one container left, he can replicate it as long as he sees all of the witch's notes.
The clearer his memory, the more he understood the different paths of humans and ghosts.
But he will not let him go, they will be entangled together forever and ever, not even death can separate them.
