Chapter 1065 The Returnee's Notes 139
After saying goodbye to the old lady, Xie Ning took the porcelain bowl and walked to the fireside, lit an incense stick, and burned some paper money. "Let's go, don't linger any longer."
Upon hearing this, the soul that had been staring blankly as its own corpse burned also embarked on the right path.
As the fire gradually subsided and was about to disappear, the sound of sirens could be heard in the distance. Qiu Wei, who was being held captive, stared blankly for a moment, then shouted, "Didn't you say you wouldn't call the police if I confessed?!"
Xie Ning turned her head to look over, thinking to herself that she was just stating a fact, but she did not say that she would not call the police as long as Qiu Wei confessed.
It's better for someone like that to stay inside.
Wang Ze also came with the police. He had just finished a small case and then received Xie Ning's message, so he drove his new car over!
This gravel road leading into the village is so difficult to drive on! His new car got three scratches on it!
"Goodness." Wang Ze walked around the fire, where only some burnt firewood remained, and thick black smoke could still be seen in the distance.
A corpse was burned here, and not just any ordinary corpse. The old woman probably used a talisman to burn it so cleanly.
Remembering what Xie Ning had mentioned in the message, Wang Ze went to ask the old lady for advice.
When Wang asked how she got half-stiff, the old lady only gave Qiu Dafu, who was being escorted into the police car, a meaningful look, and said, "Gui Beishan."
hiss--
Wang Ze gasped. His master had said that Guibei Mountain was not a good place, and no matter how much money someone offered, he shouldn't go.
Because someone set up a formation there before, as long as people don't go in, nothing will happen.
If you go in, you won't be able to get out.
People like Qiu Dafu probably only made it to the outer perimeter and got blocked.
Even though she has escaped and learned some methods of raising corpses, she won't live long. That's why the old lady said what she just said.
Xie Ning finished packing her things and noticed Qiu Wei struggling in front of the police car. She couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is it because he's possessed by a ghost?"
But she didn't notice anything wrong.
"No."
Wang Ze shook his head. "It's a curse. Things there can't get out, but you can cast curses."
So even those who only entered the outer perimeter could not escape death.
What you gain, you will inevitably lose. It's just unknown what curse Qiu Dafu was under. Perhaps we can wait for the police's follow-up. He knows people in the police station, so it shouldn't be difficult to find out.
Because Wang Ze drove there, Xie Ning and the old lady went back in Wang Ze's car. As for Xie Ning's bicycle, they just needed to fold it up and put it in the trunk.
It wasn't until they were in the car that the old lady started talking to Xie Ning about Guibei Mountain. She said that because of its strange terrain, it was a place where ghosts often gathered, and they were all evil ghosts.
Besides ghosts, there are other things buried in the mountains that have plagued the area for a long time, causing strange occurrences from that deep mountain all the way to their town.
I've heard that this is one of the origins of the name "No Return Town".
I won't come back, I won't come back once I've left.
Later, a Taoist priest who traveled to this place saw that the mountain was strange, so he set up an array outside it to trap those ghosts.
Some of the ghosts that were attracted there later went inside and could no longer come out because of the suppression of the formation.
If someone goes in but can't get out, then there are other reasons.
Even if they manage to escape by sheer luck, they cannot escape the curse.
Xie Ning listened quietly, then asked Qiu Qing, "Grandma, I didn't see Qiu Qing's spirit."
This shouldn't be the case.
"Qiu Qing is already half-stiff, but his soul is still inside his own body."
The spirit you saw standing beside the coffin when you first arrived... if the body isn't removed, the longer it's buried, the more it will return to the body, slowly merging with it and generating a new consciousness—that's what a zombie is.
There are many theories about the consciousness of zombies. The old lady personally believes that it is a new consciousness, while others believe that it is the remnant consciousness of the original body of the zombie.
Wang Ze, who was driving, listened attentively. However, in his experience, zombies generally didn't have much consciousness, only some instincts, unless they were very powerful zombies.
Of course, he had never seen anything of that level.
