Chapter 307: The Widow of the Ghost Master
Lin Zhi invited Gu Xing in and brought him a pair of guest slippers.
In fact, there was no such thing at home. Lian Qing was often not at home because he was busy, and he would not invite others to his private area. Lin Zhi also did not like others visiting his home.
But the last time they were walking together in the supermarket, he and Lian Qing bought a pair of black and white couple slippers and some daily necessities. The supermarket was having a promotion at the time, and after reaching a certain amount of money, they were given a pair of grey slippers.
"What do you want to drink, water or tea?"
The tea leaves were already in the house. After Lin Zhi nursed his lover back to health, he regained interest in life and didn't want to let the tea leaves go moldy in the corner.
"Just water."
Gu Xing sat on the sofa. This haunted house was still eerie, but inexplicably it was more lively than before.
Lin Zhi poured Gu Xing a cup of warm water, which Lian Qing had prepared not long ago. It would not be too much for him to drink ice water in the summer, but Lian Qing felt that his body was too yin, so it would be better for him to drink something hot. Lian Qing had already prepared it, so he naturally would not refuse.
All the lamps in the house have been repaired. There is no need for a comprehensive disguise. Lin Zhi doesn't pay attention to things that he doesn't care about. In the end, Lian Qing contacted the logistics department of the Special Department to come and repair them. After all, the yin energy here is too heavy, and if ordinary people with weak horoscopes come here, accidents are likely to happen.
"It just so happened that one of our comrades was handling a case that was transferred to a special department. At the police station, they met a couple who reported that their child had died. The doctor diagnosed it as sudden death, but they didn't believe it because the child had been missing before and the body was found to have died of sudden death. They firmly believed that there was a conspiracy and that the child was murdered."
"This comrade was curious, so the police asked him to follow them and see. He had no evil powers, but he also had no spirit. Only five days passed from his disappearance to his death."
Generally speaking, the soul is roughly equivalent to the spirit. Without any interference, a person will linger in the human world for at least seven days after death. After the first seven days, some people's souls return to the earth, some turn into ghosts, and some turn into some remaining resentment and evil spirits. It is impossible for a soul to disappear after only five days.
"He reported this. To be honest, it's not a very important thing. We have a lot of work to do and we won't pursue this abnormality. But you reminded me that there might be strange powers in this game. This comrade thought of this and asked a question. It turned out that the deceased was a fan of this game before he disappeared."
"I checked dozens of cases of people who played the train game and disappeared or died within seven days. I asked the people in the division to check and found that two of them were consistent with the first case. They did not have spirits in their bodies."
Gu Xing has been busy with this matter for the past three days. The overtime work has made his eyes, which were already unable to open, narrowed into slits.
Lin Zhi realized what he wanted to express from his words. There was an extremely dangerous storm brewing in the dark, like a whirlpool deep under the water, but there was no ripples on the surface.
The key points of many things in this world occur accidentally. If Shuang Ling had not invited them to play games together that night, Lian Qing would not have noticed the power related to the Word Spirit in the game settings, and would not have reminded Gu Xing.
Then these dead people will not be noticed. People die every day in this world. The cause of their death is sudden death, which seems to have nothing to do with human beings and will not be noticed.
Furthermore, if seven days had passed, that comrade would not have felt that there was any suspicion and would not have reported it.
"These three people died in different places. Fortunately, their information has been entered into the system. There may still be similar cases but no one has reported them to the police."
Gu Xing looked solemn. If someone really was planning this carefully, there was no need to say more about the consequences.
Lian Qing looked at the photo of the deceased placed on the coffee table by Gu Xing without thinking too much. There was no doubt that he would be involved in this matter.
When he was alive, he was very responsible and never slacked off in his work. Even after his death, he still felt that he was a member of the Special Branch, but there were more reasons for him to do so without hesitation.
He hated the world becoming chaotic and unstable, and hated his current life being disrupted. After all, Lin Zhi was also an ordinary person who had participated in the game. It was possible that he would be involved in it one day, and he certainly would not allow such a thing to happen.
Lian Qing was about to speak when he suddenly felt someone pinching his hand.
Although he is in the state of soul now. But Lin Zhi absorbed too much of his negative energy, so he didn't need to create mental hallucinations to touch him.
Lin Zhi signaled to Lian Qing with her eyes, then looked at Gu Xing.
"The situation sounds grim," Lin Zhi sighed, and then said jokingly, "But do people have to continue working after they die? It sounds terrible."
His words made Gu Xing feel a little uneasy, and he couldn't help but look at Lian Qing.
Lian Qing turned the ring on his hand, looking like "my love has the final say".
Pooh! Dead husband baby boy!
Gu Xing complained in his heart, thinking that his evaluation was very accurate, not a single word was wrong.
"We need our senior brother's help, so of course we won't let him work for nothing."
Gu Xing opened his mouth, discarded the useless process, and asked directly: "What do you want?"
Lin Zhi curved her lips: "You know what I want."
Gu Xing said weakly, "Does it have to be this way?"
Lin Zhi said gently: "If you feel uneasy, you can hold a ritual here. You are also welcome to visit us at any time."
Due to his personality, Lin Zhi will try his best to fight for his own interests.
For example, in the current situation, although the result is the same whether or not a request is made, the nature is different.
Three days ago, Gu Xing sealed Lian Qing's coffin with peach wood nails and corpse-suppressing talismans, and then lit a thick white candle. They could not move the coffin until the candle burned out. They moved the coffin to the department's storage room. Now, only half of the candle was left.
Because Lian Qing was by his side, Lin Zhi didn't particularly care whether his body left or not. However, now that he had the opportunity, he certainly wouldn't miss it. It would be best if he could keep it by his side.
Gu Xing thought for a while and compromised: "I'll go back and discuss it with my superiors."
This kind of compromise actually has an element of performance. Gu Xing doesn't care much about it because he believes that people with the temperament of Lian Qing, his senior brother, would not harm others even if they become ghosts. But the people above think differently. Belief is belief, rules are rules, people are people, and ghosts are ghosts.
Lin Zhi: "Excuse me, could you please add some more water?"
Gu Xing nodded: "Let's have tea this time."
The tea is Kung Fu tea. Lian Qing moves methodically at the table while Gu Xing watches and explains the details.
"It's hard to find the source of this game. It suddenly spread and was modified and improved by different people. The background setting picture was circulated from a forum, and the person who posted it has long since cancelled his account."
"Things like urban legends, which become more likely to happen as more people believe in them, at least have a blueprint. But how did such imaginary things gain faith and make you, Brother, feel the power of the Word Spirit?"
Gu Xing was puzzled and Lian Qing had no idea for the time being.
"Put the bodies in the funeral home. I'll go see them after we've settled the matter."
"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible."
Gu Xing drank a few cups of tea and left. Lin Zhi took the tea handed to him by Lian Qing and sipped it slowly.
"Don't blame me for negotiating terms with your junior brother?"
Of course Lin Zhi knew that Lian Qing would not have such an idea, so she teased him deliberately.
Lian Qing raised his phoenix eyes, with some doubt in his eyes, and said: "We are the community of interests."
Perhaps he felt that he had said it too concisely, so he added: "Luckily I have you, otherwise I would have missed this opportunity."
Lian Qing is a man of few words. It’s not that he is aloof or not good at speaking, he just doesn’t like to talk much.
His eyes can see through so many things, and there is no end to what he can say.
Before he lost his family, he studied Taoism. After the accident, in order to suppress the curse on his body, he entered Buddhism to practice Zen. He practiced silent meditation for three years, and after that he became even less talkative.
But it was different in front of the lover who fell from the sky. He was afraid that what he said might be vague and people might misunderstand his intentions.
It’s just that he can’t say nice things, and that bothers me a bit.
How could he feel that Lin Zhiti's conditions were not good? Lin Zhiti's request was to keep his body, which made him couldn't be happier.
His gaze fell on his lover's lips, which were moist after drinking tea, and his eyes became even deeper.
The deeper his desire became, the more he could not conceal his ghostly appearance, and red marks from stitches appeared on his neck.
Sniffing the warm scent of his lover, he unconsciously made a swallowing motion.
I'm so hungry, I want to eat it all.
However, what he placed on the young man's lips was not his fangs, but a gentle and affectionate kiss.
Lin Zhi noticed his abnormality, and just smiled softly, slightly opened her lips and said seductively: "Kiss me."
Lian Qing invaded without hesitation, stripping off the human appearance to reveal the greed and obsession of a ghost.
His face was handsome, but his cold tongue continued to spread, licking Lin Zhi's throat, as if trying to absorb all of his vitality and become one with him.
But he was extremely restrained in his Yin energy to prevent Lin Zhi from absorbing too much.
Lin Zhi's eyes blurred slightly after being kissed, and her cheeks flushed.
Not long after, Lian Qing deliberately erased all traces in front of Lin Zhi, making him unable to see his soul, and let Lin Zhi watch himself in the mirror being invaded by the invisible thing.
The tide of lust spread like dense spider silk in a spider's nest, spreading to every corner of the house.
A few days later, Gu Xing came again.
He did not come empty-handed this time, but he did not bring hundreds of talismans either. Instead, he brought something similar to a thermometer.
He didn't come alone, he was accompanied by Xu Xiaoyu, Chen Kuo, and Shuang Ling who came to say hello.
"Ms. Xu, Minister Chen, long time no see."
Lin Zhi didn't have any extra slippers at home, so she used shoe covers for the guests.
The two sides exchanged greetings for a while, and then Gu Xing and Xu Xiaoyu, under the watchful eyes of Chen Kuo, reinforced the coffin that was nailed in Lin Zhi's bedroom.
"This thing can automatically detect Yin energy. When the concentration exceeds the threshold, we will receive an alarm. Of course, we will also receive an alarm if it is damaged."
Gu Xing pointed at the thing that looked like a thermometer fixed on the coffin and said that it was also a statement on behalf of the higher-ups.
Lin Zhi: "Thank you. Sorry for the hassle."
This incident resolved the topic and got back to business.
Xu Xiaoyu said: "According to our investigation, some people will worship the train god before playing the game, and there are fixed spells and steps, but how can anyone really believe it? This god is like a child's play."
Gu Xing yawned and said, "It's just a joke. They just think it's fun and don't take it seriously, so they do it. They also have a train cult."
Shuang Ling said excitedly: "Sister Yu, Minister, haven't you heard of the Flying Noodle God Cult, the Earth Meow Meow Cult, and its branch, the Holy Fire Meow Meow Cult?"
Xu Xiaoyu and Chen Kuo both showed indescribable expressions. They really didn't understand the young people of today.
