Nirvana
"Brother Liu, which way are you going? Qiu Zimu is upstairs." Ye Jing'an said.
"Oh." Liu Muze turned back and walked back to the room. He looked at Qiu Zimu and said, "He's fine, he just fell asleep."
"His eyes were yellow just now. It's really not like that." Ye Jingan almost jumped out of the window.
"I know, um...actually you don't need to explain anything to me. Even if it is true, there is nothing wrong with liking men." Liu Muzhe patted his shoulder and walked out of the room.
Ye Jing'an heard "No need to explain to me" and "There's nothing wrong with liking men," ignoring the "I know." Ye Jing'an roared in his heart, unable to explain himself. He followed him out, looking for the monster that had just possessed Qiu Zimu.
Liu Muze muttered to himself that this damn thing was too cunning. To confuse people, it spread its aura everywhere. It slipped away quickly and was quite good at hiding. As a result, he didn't notice whether Qiu Zimu was possessed. He checked the entire villa, but couldn't be sure where it was hiding. He didn't want to waste his energy to catch it in the middle of the night. Anyway, it couldn't escape. Liu Muze said, "Don't look for it. Go back to sleep. You and Qiu Zimu sleep together. If anything goes wrong, you can take care of each other."
"I won't sleep with him. He just wanted to bite me." Ye Jing'an looked extremely disgusted.
Liu Muzhe looked at him in astonishment.
"I'm talking about that monster." Ye Jing'an held his forehead, not wanting to explain any more. The more he spoke, the more confusing it became. He simply dragged Liu Muze along with him, refusing to let him leave, insisting on having him accompany him no matter what.
Liu Muzhe was stubborn, so the three of them spent the night together.
Qiu Zimu was startled when he woke up and found himself sleeping on Ye Jingan's bed with two people sitting beside the bed: "Why am I here? What are you doing?"
Ye Jingan hadn't slept all night and was a little depressed. He instantly became excited after hearing this and woke Liu Muze up: "Look, look, I just have something, but he doesn't remember anything!"
"Well, he's awake. I can go now." Liu Muzhe was so sleepy that he squinted his eyes slightly. He didn't care what Ye Jing'an said and went back to his room to sleep.
"What's going on?" Qiu Zimu asked.
"How dare you ask! Yesterday you were possessed by a monster and bit my neck. Brother Liu saw us and thought we were doing something!" Ye Jing'an glared at him, wishing he could cut a piece of his flesh off.
"What?" Qiu Zimu's eyes widened. After a moment's silence, he buried his head in the quilt and shouted, "Ah, my innocence! I've never been in a relationship with a girl!"
"You got excited first, go and explain to Brother Liu." Ye Jing'an slapped the quilt that covered his head.
“Ding Dong… Ding Dong…”
When I opened the door, I saw a master who looked older standing at the door, looking around with an unnatural expression.
"Are you a circuit repairman?" Ye Jing'an asked, looking at his clothes.
"Yes." The technician nodded, and Lu tiptoed over to check the circuit. He came out soon and said it was fixed. There was no big problem, just a tripped circuit breaker. After saying that, he hurried away.
"Master, what's wrong with you? What's the matter?" Ye Jing'an asked, holding his master.
It would have been fine if he hadn't asked. But when he did, the master wanted to run away like he had lost his soul: "I don't know anything!"
Ye Jingan: “…”
Before he could even reach the front door, Qiu Zimu slammed it shut. "You don't know anything, so why are you running? If you don't want to tell me, don't leave!"
"I don't know anything, get out of the way!" The master was almost crying in anxiety, and pushed Qiu Zimu away and ran out.
“…”
"There must be something wrong with this house. It seems they all know about it. We have to go and ask." Ye Jing'an said.
The two decided to ask their neighbors if they knew anything, so they went to the villa next door and rang the doorbell.
A young lady opened the door.
"Hello, we would like to find out something about the villa next door, is that okay?" Ye Jing'an pointed towards the villa.
The young woman looked where he pointed and asked, "Did you just move next door?"
They both nodded.
"Okay, come in and tell me." The young lady took them to the living room, poured two cups of tea, and told them what she knew about the villa.
The original owners of this villa were three young men, who later died in the house for unknown reasons. Two more families moved in, but they all moved out soon after, saying that the house was haunted.
"Did you find anything unusual next door?" Ye Jing'an asked.
The young woman shook her head. "No, I don't believe in ghosts or gods. So I didn't ask much. You might have to go to the property management office to find out about other things."
"Okay, thank you." After thanking him, Ye Jingan and Qiu Zimu found the property manager.
"What did you see?" the property manager said with a bitter face.
"Ghost!" Ye Jingan sneered, "Is there any need to ask? Otherwise, why would I come to you?"
"That's right, hurry up and tell me, don't waste time!" Qiu Zimu cooperated.
The property manager frowned and sighed: "Alas, this matter has been messed up. I have already asked a master to take a look, but it seems to be useless."
He dug out a newspaper from the drawer and handed it to them to read.
It seemed like a long time had passed since the incident. The newspaper had turned yellow and was covered with a thin layer of dust. The content on the first page of the newspaper was about the first owner of the house.
It turns out the three owners of the house were the founders of an animal cruelty organization called "Nirvana." They took orders through special channels, slaughtered small animals according to the sponsors' requests, and filmed and sent them to the sponsors. This way, the three of them made a lot of money without being discovered by the police.
But in the end, they all died tragically in this villa. A forensic examination revealed that one was tortured to death by the other two, his body bearing marks from various torture instruments, likely demonstrating the full range of torture methods. The second was cannibalized by the third, but his bones were completely gone. The final victim ate the second and died of bloating, his stomach filled with human flesh. He had cut off his tongue and was holding it in his hand, and his eyes had been gouged out.
The images were too gory, so the photos were not released. The newspaper only had a photo of the Nirvana organization's logo. The following content stated that the police had captured other members of the organization and were counting the number of animals they had abused.
The incident was exposed, sparking public outrage. Everyone focused on the cruelty to the animals, ignoring the strange circumstances surrounding the three men's deaths. Ultimately, the police determined the three men had acted out of a conflict of interest, and the case came to a close.
"Finally, we cleaned up the house and sold it at a low price. But the family said there were ghosts after living there for only a few days and sold the house immediately. Then another person came, who didn't live there often, but also encountered strange things after living there for a while. We spent money to hire a master to solve the problems with the house, but he didn't continue to live there. Then, when you came, problems arose again," added the property manager.
"So that's how it is." Ye Jing'an thought about Qiu Zimu's eyes yesterday, which were like some kind of animal. They ran back and told Liu Muzhe about it. "Brother Liu, don't sleep anymore. Open the door quickly."
"You made me unable to sleep well all night, and you have only slept for a few hours now?! Don't bother me!" Liu Muzhe closed the door.
Ye Jingan: “…”
Qiu Zimu: "Uh, what should we do now?"
"What can we do? Just look for it yourself. How can we be innocent if we find it?" Ye Jing'an stared at Qiu Zimu with ill intentions. "Release your insect and look for it."
"I don't even know what this thing is, what should I put in it? Besides, the corpse Gu from last time was eaten by the corpse baby. If I don't put it in, I will have no Gu left if it is eaten again." Qiu Zimu held the Gu in his pocket tightly.
"Corpse baby..." Ye Jing'an remembered that the dead child might have hidden at that time. It took a lot of effort for him to catch him. Maybe it could find where the ghost thing was hiding. He took out the jade button and said, "Little guy, come out and I'll give you something good to eat."
I called it several times, but it didn't come out.
"Stop shouting. It almost died last time when you cooked that dish. It won't pay any attention to you." Qiu Zimu sneered.
Ye Jingan glared at him and continued to shout at the corpse baby: "Come out and help me. I'll feed you the worms he raised."
He shook the jade button towards Qiu Zimu again. When he heard the insect, the corpse baby jumped out immediately and looked at Qiu Zimu expectantly.
Seeing this familiar expression, Qiu Zimu said with a bitter face: "I really don't have any more!"
"Oh, ordinary bugs will do, too. We don't have to use the poisonous insects you raised." Ye Jing'an touched the corpse baby's head, his smile deepening. "Isn't that right?"
The dead baby bared its teeth and nodded vigorously.
"Then we'll drive to the mountains to catch as many as he wants. You can also catch the poisonous insects you want while we're at it." Ye Jing'an put his arm around his shoulders. "How about it?"
When Qiu Zimu heard that this was a good idea, he nodded in agreement.
"Can you help me find the thing that was attached to him yesterday?" Ye Jing'an coaxed the corpse baby in a gentle voice.
The corpse infant said something incomprehensible, sniffed Qiu Zimu's body, and began to search. It came to the golden nanmu cabinet and suddenly disappeared into the cabinet. The two were dumbfounded and hurried to look inside the cabinet. They found that the board was loose and there was a wooden door underneath.
"Hey, the symbols here are the same as those in the newspaper!" Qiu Zimu took a photo and compared it with it.
"Well, let's go down and take a look." Ye Jingan opened the wooden door and climbed down the ladder.
Looking at the various torture instruments on the table, the two men suddenly felt depressed, and the tragic scenes of the animals being slaughtered involuntarily emerged in their minds.
"So this is where animals are tortured." Ye Jing'an came back to his senses and thought of the corpse baby that just jumped down. "Little guy, where are you?"
Qiu Zimu found the light switch in the basement.
A dim yellow light came on, revealing a corpse-baby licking something against the wall. As I approached, I saw dried black blood stains all over the wall. The corpse-baby licked enthusiastically, unwilling to leave.
“…”
"Brother, can you be more professional? I asked you to help find that damn thing, but you came here to find food by yourself. Do you still want to eat bugs?" Ye Jing'an poked his head with his hand.
After hearing what he said, the baby corpse stopped what it was doing, pointed at the torture instrument, muttered something, and continued to lick the blood.
"What does it mean?" Qiu Zimu asked.
