After Gu Zhisang appeared, all the details about the death of Xing's daughter-in-law in the village came to light.
Based on the known information, it can be inferred that the dead villagers in the village were basically killed by the "rising corpses" of pregnant ghosts and ghost babies.
What is even more cruel and brutal is that the residual souls that Xi Haihong discovered floating in the cursed barrier of the village are all fragments of the souls of dead villagers.
This shows that the daughter-in-law of the Xing family not only killed people, but also tore apart the souls of the villagers after they died in order to vent her anger.
This is also true for the deceased grandmother-in-law.
Most of her soul was torn into pieces by the evil creature.
The only remaining soul and spirit could not condense into a solid entity. There was only a shadow with a barely discernible outline, huddled in the shaman totem in the house, shivering.
After the host Liu Da integrated the information obtained by all the contestants, he held the microphone in his hand and said to the live camera:
"Dear audience friends, after an afternoon of observation and analysis, the strange things happening in Watuo Village and the stories that may be hidden behind them are gradually coming to light."
"A village deep in the mountains, corpses hanging at the entrance of the village, villagers dying one after another... everything is inextricably linked to a young woman who claimed she had not cheated on her husband but became pregnant unexpectedly, and ultimately died to prove her innocence."
"At this point in the case, all the contestants have completed the commissioned task of 'Exploring the Strange Things in Watuo Village'. Tonight, the staff and contestants of the 'Spiritual Matters' program team will stay in the village for one night.
The case will be closed tomorrow morning. If the contestants have other discoveries or there are new developments in this case, the program team will inform them one by one. Please stay tuned!"
After Liu finished speaking, the live broadcast room turned off the camera.
Many viewers were confused and felt that this help-seeking match started off well but ended badly.
Even the way to deal with the evil creature in the village and the most mysterious "pregnancy truth" of the incident were not clearly revealed, which was too sloppy.
There are also many rational viewers who came out to explain:
[There is definitely no way the program crew will not shoot the sequel. The traffic of Xiaopozong is too high now. If they really shoot something that cannot be explained by science, or some bloody and horrifying scenes, it will definitely not be accepted by the mainstream society. Maybe even the program will be taken off the air.]
[The situation in the village has not been fully revealed. The contestants did a good job, but they just didn't do the additional questions. ]
[According to the production team, what happens next cannot be filmed? Are the contestants staying in the village to catch ghosts?! ]
[The scores haven't come out yet, but Liu Cixin said there might be new news tomorrow. Does this confirm that we need to keep checking? I'm excited and nervous at the same time. Everyone must pay attention to safety!]
【……】
After the live broadcast was paused, entries related to the Watuo Village incident directly jumped to the top of the hot searches.
After confirming that three staff members of the program team were really injured in the car accident and that the old woman in the village had indeed died as revealed in the live broadcast room, many atheists and staunch materialists fell into doubt.
At the same time, more passers-by and the largest metaphysical forum on the Internet were discussing the ghost pregnant woman in Watuo Village and speculating on the truth of the incident.
That evening, the sun had just set and the light in the sky gradually dimmed, and there was no one in the huge Watuo village.
The shops throughout the village closed early and the streets were empty.
If it weren't for the faint light coming from behind the curtained windows, Watuo Village would have looked like a dead and deserted city.
Every household in the village received a yellow talisman in the afternoon.
The strangers from outside the village told them that starting from six o'clock in the evening, all family members should gather in one room.
Just stick this paper on the inside of that room's door and they'll be safe.
During this period, no matter what noise they heard, they must not step out of the house, otherwise they would bear the consequences.
After hearing the outsider speak so seriously and seeing with their own eyes that the fortune teller was killed by the evil spirit, they were so scared that they obeyed.
Many families finished their meals early, and then took their children and parents into the house and closed the door tightly.
Among them, village cadre Lamu and his family also stayed in the master bedroom of their home.
The children in the family were still young, and could not feel the heavy atmosphere and fear in the village. They just thought that their parents were playing some game, and they excitedly lay on the corner of the curtains lifted up by the bed to look at the window gap outside.
As the sky got darker, the wife became more nervous and couldn't help asking:
"Are those outsiders trustworthy? I saw you caught several roosters this afternoon."
Lamu sighed, "It was the master named Gu from that group who wanted it. She also took away the 'General' from the old Chen family."
"Now we can only hope that they are really capable. If we don't trust them, no one else can help our village."
The wife sighed upon hearing this: "What a sin! Even if the Xing family's daughter-in-law has resentment in her heart, she should have vented it enough, right? Does she really want everyone in the village to be buried with her?"
Lamu didn't say anything. After a while, his wife couldn't help but poke him:
"Tell me, is the daughter-in-law of the Xing family really wronged? She lives in her mother-in-law's house. If she really had an affair, would her mother-in-law not have discovered it at all?"
"Then her belly can't have grown bigger on its own!" Lamu said in a muffled voice.
Wife: "I think if we really do it, she can't be so tough."
Lamu frowned impatiently: "What's the point of saying this when the person is dead..."
Before she finished speaking, her little daughter, who was lying on the bed and lifting a corner of the curtain, suddenly cried out in extreme fear:
"Aman, Daddy...there is a weird auntie!"
Lamu and his wife looked at the child.
When they saw the surface of the taut curtains, a chill ran down their spines and their scalps suddenly felt numb.
All I saw was a vague shadow on the tightly drawn curtain.
It looks like a human figure, with distinct limbs and head, but the proportions are extremely distorted.
Lamu's wife was so scared that she was about to cry. She pulled the child into her arms tremblingly, covering her own and the child's mouths and not daring to make a sound.
Although the light transmittance of their curtains is a bit poor, as long as they are drawn during the day and at night, you cannot see the silhouettes of the trees outside.
At this moment, a strange shadow appeared through the window, like a human-shaped creature, quietly sticking to their window and eavesdropping on their conversation.
As if noticing the silence in the room, the sound of nails scratching on the glass slowly began to rise.
When the sound reached the ears of Lamu's family, it scared them crazy!
Lamu broke out in a cold sweat and suddenly turned his head to look at the door.
I saw the yellow talisman pasted on the door was shaking and making a slight sound.
Master Gu from outside said that once the talisman is activated, you must not go out.
Because that thing has already arrived.
Just when they were about to give up and collapse under the torture of this strange sight, the faint shadow on the window began to move.
With a creaking sound, something outside seemed to be climbing away along the window.
After a long time, Lamu's wife's stiff hands slowly loosened, her face pale;
The girl in her arms was crying with snot and tears all over her face...
——
West end of the village
There is a crescent moon in the sky, emitting a faint white light.
A small, not-so-bright light was on in a detached wooden house. Several people were scattered inside the house. They were Gu Zhisang and others who had not left Watuo Village.
The body of the mother-in-law who died in the wooden house during the day has been taken away and placed, but the house is still filled with a lingering smell of death.
At this time, Gu Zhisang was sitting at the table, holding a paper man in his hand, and using a brush to draw the man's facial features and eyes.
When she was drawing the eyeballs, the tip of the extremely fine brush in her hand did not dip into the ink in the inkstone, but instead dotted into the red mucus that had not yet solidified in another small plate - it was blood.
She picked up the pen again, with a cold expression, and added the finishing touches to the paper figures one by one.
As soon as the red pupil sank into the paper, the other people in the room who were watching silently felt that the paper man's face had become more vivid, and the red eyeballs looked a little strange under the light.
Then Gu Zhisang wrote a string of words on the front of the paper man, which was a person's birth date.
Daisy, who was sitting on the kang, was amazed and asked Xi Haihong in a low voice:
"Your Eastern witchcraft is so magical? You can make a 'surrogate doll' with just a piece of paper?!"
In the eyes of psychics like Daisy, although what Gu Zhisang was holding in his hand was a paper man, the aura and energy emanating from the paper man were clearly that of a living person!
This is called a 'surrogate doll' over there.
But this was the first time Daisy had seen such a delicate doll that could be confused with a living person.
Xi Haihong: …
"There are not many people who can do it, and she is the best."
Daisy understood, nodded, and asked, "Will this attract those two evil creatures?"
Xi Haihong said: "It should be possible."
At this time, Gu Zhisang put down his brush, exhaled, raised his eyes and said, "Of course you can."
"That pregnant ghost had already killed their child, but that wasn't enough. She also entered their home to kill the man. This is enough to show that she hated the family deeply. In addition, she failed to kill and was bitten by the black dog, which made her hatred even more intense."
"It won't let go of this opportunity."
After the live broadcast ended, Gu Zhisang specifically went to find out the identity information of all the dead in the village and found that they were still related.
First of all, there is the only woman who died. She was the eldest sister of the Xing family and also the elder sister-in-law of the pregnant ghost who hanged herself.
No one in the village spoke anything but the truth when they mentioned her.
Moreover, he is too honest and too untenable, which makes people feel at a loss as to what to say.
This elder sister-in-law didn't get a penny of the dowry when she got married. Later, she started her own family. Her husband was capable enough to open a small shop in the next village, and she gave birth to a pair of sisters.
But even though her husband and her in-laws treated her well, she still favored her natal family and her younger brother. She always felt that she had not given birth to a boy and that she had to support her younger brother's family in order to survive.
For this reason, even though she didn't get a good look from her biological mother, she would often bring oil, salt, sauce, vinegar, rice, flour and grains from the supermarket at home to her mother's house.
People in the village all said that Sister Xing's husband's family was miserable because he married a daughter-in-law who was always trying to be disloyal.
Because the elder sister-in-law was so good to her family, the Xing family's daughter-in-law had a pretty good relationship with her. She often advised her not to send gifts to her family anymore, saying that she was embarrassed to accept them.
Before the death of the Xing family's daughter-in-law, although the elder sister-in-law was also angry that her younger brother had cheated on her and got pregnant with an unknown father's child, she did not beat or scold her like Old Lady Xing did.
Several times she secretly went to her brother's wife to persuade her to tell the "truth" and to take the child away and live a good life with her brother.
This was a pair of aunt and sister-in-law who had never quarreled before. After the wife of the Xing family died, the only member of the Xing family who was killed was the elder sister-in-law who had been very kind to her during her lifetime.
As for the other four middle-aged men, they had no connection with Xing's wife.
They had a good relationship with Xing Laoer. They were colleagues in a group of people who went out of the village to work together, and were led by the same contractor who organized the work and was in charge of the same affairs.
If there is any difference between them and other migrant workers in the village, it is that the money they earned after working hard for half a year was all taken away by the contractors from the same village.
This happened two years ago.
The foreman who was in charge of arranging work for them was a young man from the same village. He was only twenty-two years old, very smart, and had gone to the county town to make a living right after graduating from primary school.
Although this man is younger than all of them, he has been in the county town for more than ten years and has become a veteran, making money by introducing jobs to villagers.
In the construction industry where Xing Laoer and his colleagues work, food and accommodation are provided, and the harder they work, the more money they earn.
But generally, the money will not be transferred to the foreman's account until the project is completed, and then distributed to the workers by the foreman.
Xing Laoer and his team of more than ten people worked hard for half a year. When it was time to get their wages, the foreman ran away with hundreds of thousands of public funds due to gambling debts!
This made the villagers very angry.
During those days they blocked the door of the foreman's parents every day, wishing they could tear down their house, but it was of no avail.
Later, Xing Laoer and his brothers were so angry that they got information from some insiders and wanted to catch the foreman who had escaped and get the money back.
It’s a pity that after a few people went out for a run, they came back covered in dust and looked ugly, as if the person had run away.
They worked for almost a year and didn't get a penny.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out that the four dead people were the ones who went out with Xing Lao Er to ask the foreman for money.
Even the dead boy was the only son of the last one among them - and the only man who did not die.
Not long after the boy died and his body was found, another death almost occurred in this family.
The man of the house was feeding piglets in the yard that evening when something cut his throat and he fell to the ground with blood gushing out of his wound.
His family had a black dog named "General". Its fur was pure black without a trace of other colors. It would surround its owner and bark and roar madly, attracting other family members in the house.
Fortunately, the man's throat was not completely cut, only his trachea and vocal cords were damaged. He was sent to the grandmother-in-law who treated him and was saved. He is now recuperating at home.
If the carotid artery is cut, no one can save it.
Everyone in the village said that the man must have encountered something that night. If they didn’t have a big black dog with spiritual power to protect its owner, he would have died tragically at home.
The black dog 'General', who had made great contributions, also had a long cut on his abdomen.
In short, even with so many major incidents happening, the villagers never thought of calling the police.
First, they knew that the person who harmed people was definitely not a human. When many villagers were trapped in the "ghost wall", they saw the daughter-in-law of the Xing family.
They felt that it was useless to call the police in cases of evil spirits harming people, as the police would not be able to get in.
Secondly, their village is relatively isolated and the villagers do not trust the police. Rather than asking the police to investigate the case or going to the hospital for treatment, they would rather go to the village nanny to see a doctor.
Until the program team called the village manager for the first time, they were directly rejected.
As the situation became increasingly serious, they were forced to seek outside help and agreed to allow the program crew to come into the village to film.
After learning about these circumstances, Gu Zhisang did not think as the villagers did, thinking that the Xing family's daughter-in-law was taking indiscriminate revenge.
She believes that everything in the world follows cause and effect.
Although the Xing family's daughter-in-law was cruel, the first person she would take revenge on after her death would definitely be the person she hated the most.
This is especially true since this family was visited by it twice.
For this purpose, Gu Zhisang set a trap to lure the snake out of its hole.
She first asked for the birth date of the man whose throat was cut, and then took the blood from between his eyebrows to use as a "substitute".
The blood here is the most important blood except the blood in the heart and contains the richest essence.
By dotting the paper man's eyes with blood from between his eyebrows, you can create a real paper body and human soul.
For ghosts and evil spirits that have lost their five senses after death, breath is the key to identifying the identity of living people.
Gu Zhisang set up a concealment formation in that family's house to block their aura;
In this way, the paper man naturally becomes the target of the evil creature.
In addition, the black dog is indeed psychic and has a certain ability to restrain evil spirits. It was indeed because it fought desperately to protect its owner and drove away the evil creature that the man was saved from death.
In the eyes of the evil creature, this dog ruined its good deeds, and it must hate the dog to the core.
Gu Zhisang brought the 'General' here, which was naturally a double attraction.
She touched the black dog's head at her feet.
The pure black dog rubbed her palm with its wet nose. When she lowered her head, she could see a long scar on the 'general's' belly.
This is the wound after Bai Ci had healed it.
When the black earth dog was first brought in, it was limping and looked listless.
The wound on its abdomen was caused by a vicious beast, which carried a strong smell of death and evil, making it impossible for the wound to heal. The flesh and blood in that area had rotted and become smelly.
After being cured, its spirits improved a lot.
The 'General' was rubbing his head when he suddenly raised his head alertly and looked out the dim window. His pair of black eyes suddenly became fierce.
A low whimpering sound came from its throat, as if issuing a threat.
Gu Zhisang raised his eyes and looked out the window.
I saw the talismans pasted on the walls and windows trembling slightly, the temperature in the room suddenly dropped, and a faint smell of decay continued to spread.
“Here I come.”
The other people in the room looked at each other with serious expressions.
At this moment, a voice full of resentment sounded from outside the house: "Father, A'man...it's me, Zhuangzi is back..."
"Open the door for me, Daddy. My body hurts and it's so dark outside... I'm so scared, Daddy..."
The 'general' in the house stood up and barked frantically in the direction of the window. The incessant roar made the sound outside the house even more resentful.
"General, you know I'm back, right?"
"Ah Man, father, why don't you open the door for...Zhuangzi?!"
It was clearly the young man's voice that was getting shriller and shriller, and finally suddenly rising to a pitch that was truly terrifying.
At the moment when the scream was heard outside the house, the small lamp hanging inside the house suddenly exploded.
With a loud bang, the whole room fell into darkness, making people's hearts sink to the bottom of the valley in an instant.
It takes time for human eyes to adapt to light.
But something that wants to kill you won't give you a chance to adapt.
The sound of the saxaul climbing trees in the dark is terrifying and also amplifies the fear caused by not being able to see.
A thing less than half a meter long suddenly jumped up from the darkness and pounced on the paper man placed on the bed.
Its sharp claws and teeth tore into the paper man's belly.
The expected sweet and hot blood plasma did not spurt out. The "human" body it tore apart rotted instantly and was held back.
The evil creature was stunned for a moment, and the next second a basin of fishy-smelling rooster blood fell from the sky and accurately covered the evil creature.
Once the rooster's blood, which contains the power to drive away evil spirits, touched the evil creature's body, it screamed and rolled around like crazy, as if it was burned by fire.
It stared with its bulging eyes and climbed up the wall trying to escape.
A spell with clear words came out of a woman's mouth.
With a 'chi' sound, the yellow talisman held between Gu Zhisang's fingertips burst into flames, clearly illuminating the bloodstains on the wall and the evil creature that caused all this.
It was a ferocious baby-like creature with a blue-black body, protruding fangs and red eyes, similar to a zombie.
Seeing that it still wanted to escape, Gu Zhisang kept chanting spells and raised his hand. Several talisman fires that he had set up in advance flew towards the infant-shaped monster.
The baby-shaped monster climbed extremely fast.
It thought it had dodged all the true fire talismans, but the next second, an extremely powerful evil-suppressing nail with the power of numerology pierced its skull, and its entire body was nailed to the wall.
On the other side, several other people broke out, each holding a magic weapon, and stood guard around the wooden house.
They were going to catch another evil creature, but when they came out, they found that the mother creature had disappeared out of thin air.
There was nothing around the cabin.
Xi Haihong held a short sword in her hand and walked cautiously in the night. She always felt hairy all over, but there was no danger in her sight.
At this moment, the other three people exclaimed almost one after another, which made her heart skip a beat.
"Watch your back!"
Xi Haihong turned her head and her expression changed drastically.
A charred corpse with twisted limbs pounced towards her from behind and above. Its face was as red as if covered in blood, and its pair of dark eye sockets was particularly terrifying.
The 'corpse' of the Xing family's daughter-in-law was actually lying on the roof of the wooden house!
That's why they didn't see it when they were chasing after them.
He Mi Tu directly threw the 'Oil Ghost' off his shoulder, and the small wooden statue seemed to come alive, rushing over quickly and hugging the legs of the monster.
But this only had a momentary distraction.
The Xing family's daughter-in-law's 'resurrection' is too fierce!
It directly shook off the "Oil Ghost", raised its zombie-like hands, and was about to tear Xi Haihong's body into two pieces.
"Taishang Laojun taught me how to kill ghosts and gave me divine methods. I called the Jade Maiden to take away the bad luck. I climbed the mountain and the rocks cracked, and I wore a seal...①"
At the critical moment, the sound of a spell came from not far away.
Immediately afterwards, a long wooden sword with the power to break the wind came towards the direction of the monster at an extremely fast speed.
"...The divine master kills and strikes without fear of the powerful. He kills the evil ghosts first and then cuts off the night light. What god will not surrender? What ghost dares to confront him? Hurry and obey the order!①"
When the last word of "Demon Killing Curse" came out, the wooden sword with the power to kill evil fell at the same time.
The sword, with unstoppable force, slashed down along the neck of the 'zombie' of the Xing family's daughter-in-law, and with a 'click', it chopped off the 'zombie's' head.
The head of the corpse fell to the ground, and the wooden sword trembled as it pierced the ground...
The author has something to say:
