The chaotic rental house was filled with screams, cries, and uncontrollable retching.
Compared with Xiao Gao and Xiao He who completely lost their minds and were crying and cursing, Yuan Yunfang's reaction was relatively mild as she was just holding onto the door frame and retching.
Seeing the young tenant holding his throat and trying to vomit out the acid in his stomach, Sun Yue, who was escorted by plainclothes police officers, smiled with his pale mouth corners.
Based on the unusual reactions of several tenants, the police officers on the scene and the audience in the live broadcast room had guessed what Sun Yue said, and they were shocked and suspicious.
The two police officers closest to her looked at her face with that sinister smile and felt a chill run down their spines.
[Ahhhh my scalp is numb, is this what I thought? ? ! ]
[What does that mean? How come Sun didn't say anything, but everyone seems to know it already? Is there anyone who can explain what happened? ]
[Going back upstairs, it seems that the female landlord wants to use her dead brother's body to perform evil magic, hoping to give birth to a child for her brother. This involves the tenants living in this house, but the specific situation is still unclear.
But before the landlord revealed his true identity, didn't Sangsang ask a few girls about their impression of the landlord? At that time, they said that the landlord was very nice and often sent them food. Considering what the landlord said about "blood and flesh mixing" and their current reactions, I guess her brother's body was related to the things sent to the tenants... Damn, if my guess is true, I feel sick just thinking about it. 】
[Fuck, this woman is crazy, she is really crazy! ]
[It can’t be that scary. It’s not very likely.
Sun Minghao has been dead for 6 years. To be frank, his body may have rotted away after being buried! 】
【……】
"Master Gu!" Xiao He, who was leaning on the sink with tears all over his face, suddenly thought of something. He stumbled to Yuan Yunfang's side and snatched the phone connected to the live broadcast from her hand, as if it was a life-saving straw:
"Master Gu, this isn't true, right?!"
Several tenants looked up in Xiao He's direction, hoping for a lucky break.
What if their ideas are too serious?
Is Sun Yue lying to them? !
But after repeated confirmation by Officer Zhao and Gu Zhisang, they despaired.
Gu Zhisang sighed softly and began to answer the questions of Officer Zhao and the audience in the live broadcast room.
Among the many doubts, the first question that was asked most frequently was how did Sun Yue take the body out of the cemetery, and how could Gu Zhisang confirm that Sun Minghao's body had been dug out.
"For a sorcerer, 'telekinesis' is not a difficult task, and it is even easier for a sorcerer who knows how to set up a formation." Gu Zhisang said:
"For example, the art of Qimen Dunjia uses the real and fake, constantly changing eight gates and eight positions to perform substitutions. Objects can change, and people's life and death, fortune and misfortune are also determined in an instant.
How can I be sure of that—"
Gu Zhisang tapped the end of his eye with his slender fingertips: "My eyes can see many things that you can't see, such as corpse qi."
Ghosts have negative energy, and evil ways will produce evil energy.
Corpses are buried underground for years, rotting, fermenting, and absorbing filth, which naturally produces a unique corpse gas.
Without exception, these tenants were enveloped by the corpse qi belonging to Sun Minghao that had invaded their bone marrow. The qi was either thick or thin, and lingered for a long time. It was obvious that it was only formed after a long period of "close contact" with Sun Minghao's corpse that this qi could be formed.
In addition, the most frequently asked question is where Sun Minghao's body is and what its relationship is to these tenants.
After a moment's silence, Gu Zhisang asked:
"Ms. Yuan, have the three of you started to have bad stomach problems in the second half of this year?"
"When I stand on an empty stomach, my lower abdomen bulges slightly. When I lie flat, I always feel a slight soreness in my lower abdomen, and the foreign body sensation is more obvious."
Yuan Yunfang nodded, looking embarrassed:
"I feel that I have had dull pain in my lower abdomen for the past two months. It is more swollen than before, but it is not serious and does not affect my life. I always thought it was constipation, so I didn't take it seriously..."
Constipation, a symptom that is not even a disease, is the norm for modern people.
Staying up late, irregular diet or high stress may all be causes.
She had wanted to go to the hospital for a check-up before, but she was embarrassed, fearing that the ultrasound would reveal her stomach was full of feces and she would be embarrassed in front of the doctor.
Xiao Gao, who had been silent, looked pale and spoke up:
"Xiao He and I also had it. I thought it was uterine fibroids and was very scared. I also went for a related physical examination. The results showed that all indicators were normal and there was no major problem. I just had a protruding belly."
She said she had undergone a gastrointestinal endoscopy, had her uterus photographed, and had her stool checked, and she was also healthy, except that her lower abdomen was slightly protruding and she occasionally felt like there was something foreign in it;
She was so puzzled that she could only think that there was something wrong with her digestive system.
As for Xiao He, he was more naive. He thought he was just fat and gaining weight, so he kept shouting that he wanted to lose weight.
Now it seems that the truth is probably not so.
As expected, Gu Zhisang's next words made the already pale girl even more shocked:
"It's normal that there's no problem. You both have very special ghosts in your stomachs, visible and invisible. It's still early in the pregnancy, and if you delay it any further it will only get bigger and bigger, and eventually there will be big problems."
"I'll tell you from the source. I don't know if you've ever heard of the 'art of animal creation'."
'Zaoxu', as the name suggests, means making livestock.
The raw material is human.
It is a kind of sorcery that turns people into livestock, and is also a kind of unconventional sorcery.
Whether in strange novels or folk tales, there are similar stories circulating among the people.
In the past, when this kind of magic had not yet been banned by the Xuanmen sect, many sorcerers south of the Yellow River mastered it.
Those with crude means and ordinary abilities need to peel off the skin of the animals in one piece while they are still alive to ensure the freshness of the skin.
Then the bloody animal skin would be glued to the human body, sewn with needle and thread, and with the use of magic, the animal skin could be firmly integrated with the human skin.
The human skeletal body will also compress and eventually turn into an animal.
Adults were mostly turned into cattle and sheep, and children were often turned into cats and dogs.
The 'livestock' created from 'creation of animals' can generally retain their consciousness and memory as human beings. This is the most terrifying aspect of this evil magic.
As for powerful sorcerers, they can not only change their appearance, but also completely transform a person's flesh and bones and structure into animals.
Gu Zhisang had read the records of his predecessors in the Taoist classics, which said that there had been evil cultivators committing evil among the people, and that civilians often disappeared in the city.
The youngest son of a local rich man disappeared mysteriously. He offered a large reward and sent several servants to look for him, but to no avail.
The distraught man got drunk in the middle of the night, but was stopped by a dirty monkey that suddenly jumped out in an alley on his way home.
The little monkey hugged his thighs and screamed with tears in its eyes, which scared the drunk man and he thought it was a monster.
Unable to get rid of the wild monkey, the man who had lost his son became very annoyed and ordered his guards to kill the little monkey with a knife and throw it into the alley.
Later, the monkey's corpse was picked up by nearby beggars, cooked and shared. The meat was extremely delicious, but when they were about to eat it, they found a piece of a child's finger in the pot.
Looking more closely, aren't the bones that the monkey had gnawed clean actually the bones of a child? !
After many investigations by the local Taoist priests, it was discovered that the missing people had been transformed into cattle, sheep, pigs and dogs by the evil cultivators using the "animal creation technique".
Some were sold to pull carts and dig the soil in the fields, some were bought to be beaten and tamed, and when they were found, they were still fawning and bowing in street circuses;
There are also many people who, like the little monkey, have been slaughtered and eaten as real livestock.
The official could never have imagined that the wild monkey that his guard had hacked to death with a knife was his youngest son, whom he had been thinking about day and night.
After several chaotic periods of "indistinguishability between humans and animals", this kind of divination should have been banned and extinct.
Now it has reappeared.
Gu Zhisang: "After five or six years of death, the body will not be preserved very well. Even if it is dug out from the ground, it will be difficult to hide the rotten smell."
"But if you use special spices to marinate it, remove the stench of corpses, and then use the 'animal creation technique' to wrap the rotten meat with animal skins, you can make it look real and fake."
At this point, she paused, "After the meat is cooked and mashed into a paste, it is wrapped in various doughs as stuffing. Who knows what is wrapped inside?"
This move is insidious and vicious.
First, it was too shocking and outrageous. No one would have thought that beneath Sun Yue's kind and generous appearance, there was such a vicious intention.
Secondly, the food that Yuan Yunfang and others ate would be digested and excreted from the body after two or three days. There was no evidence, and no medical problems could be found, so people would not think too much about it.
The third is to take advantage of the convenience of shared housing and quietly gather a few selected unlucky people together without having to bother to coax them.
Even the knowledgeable Gu Zhisang had to admit that Sun Yue's methods were more evil than ordinary people!
"As for why you do this--" Gu Zhisang looked at Sun Yue, smiling:
"Miss Sun, do you need me to help you finish?"
Sun Yue had a cold face. Just when everyone thought she would never repent and would not speak, a slightly hoarse low laugh sounded:
"Gu Zhisang, Master Gu, you are really amazing."
"This show is broadcast once a week, with tens of millions of people online every time. But Yuan Yunfang just happened to get lucky... I'm unlucky. I admit that I fell into your hands."
There was a hint of unwillingness in her words, and the hatred in her eyes as she stared at Yuan Yunfang was even more obvious.
After another half a minute, her expression calmed down and she said slowly:
“6年前，孙名浩死了，孙传发高位截瘫，名浩科技有限公司乱成一锅粥。
孙传发还在医院重症监护室里躺着的时候，公司里那些远的近的亲戚、股东朋友、还有他那些所谓的兄弟，就堵在医院和我家门口，想吞并公司。”
哪怕是她的亲伯伯，亲小姑，和孙传发一母同胞的兄弟姐妹，都心怀不轨。
当时的孙刖本是孙家的边缘人物，是个温温吞吞的师范生，一夜之间就变成了孙传发唯一的、最亲的人。
为了抗住压力，她被迫休学，走钢丝般地去应对那些如狼似虎的亲戚。
短短一周时间，人就瘦了七八斤。
好在孙传发没死，从昏迷中醒了过来。
但他受伤太严重，要修养太长时间，无暇管理公司。
为了保住家产，无奈之下他只能提拔自己那个从来没重视过的女儿，培养她去学习处理公司业务。
几个月里，孙刖接触了集团核心的资料，也飞速成长着，很快能独当一面。
等孙传发身体稍微好些，精神劲却没有以前那么足了，他总想着死去的孙名浩，想着自己断掉的‘香火’。
几乎是车祸的头两年，他便盘算着再要一个小儿子。
严重的车祸后遗症让他腰部以下几乎没有知觉，更别说造人。
经历了各种稀奇古怪的刺激疗法、药物疗法，还是没有任何作用，孙传发这才不得不相信，自己废了。
他性格愈发阴郁、多疑，看什么都不顺眼，尤其是日渐优秀出众的女儿。
短短四年多的时间，孙氏集团就在孙刖的带领下回归正轨、步步高升，比他没出事前还好。
明明知道当年的孙刖不可能有这样的能力，但精神已经扭曲的孙传发还是开始怀疑她，怀疑当年致死孙名浩、让他瘫痪的车祸另有隐情。
彼时的孙刖脱胎换骨，是商场上的新贵，意气风发。
但她心里清楚，孙传发虽然逐渐退居幕后，但公司的股权大都牢牢攥在他手里，而且光是各种遗嘱他就定了十几份不同的，以防自己意外横死被夺股份。
她也不能确定自己能否在这个父亲死去后，拿到股份遗产，为了这些股份、同时她心中还对孙传发有那么一丝温情，她不留余力地照顾孙传发，忍受他日渐古怪的脾气。
但饶是如此，还是拗不过孙传发脑子里的朽气。
察觉到她这个侄女不是好拿捏的，这些年那些曾经在孙传发危难时趁人之危的姑姑伯伯，打起了感情牌，走温情路线。
尤其是她那个大伯，经常带两个堂哥上门‘孝敬’小叔，背着她和孙传发嘀嘀咕咕。
孙刖多留了个心眼，在孙传发的房间里装了个窃听器，听到了她的好大伯循循诱导，反复给孙传发洗脑。
说她孙刖到底是个丫头，没根子，以后嫁人了孙家的家业都给外人做了嫁衣。
说她现在就开始赶公司里孙家的老人，以后真拿到了大权，指不定要赶尽杀绝。
还说要把她那个二堂哥过继给孙传发，让他也有个‘依靠’，以后二堂哥结婚生子了，得给他养老、孙子得叫他爷爷……
孙刖想，孙传发再怎么犯病，总不该信这些人的鬼话。
但当她发现孙传发的态度一次次软化，甚至真的松口、想让二堂哥落户到他们家，巨大的愤怒和恨意让她恨不得把这些人全都砍死。
她虽然是女人，但能力丝毫不弱，在商场上无往不利。
她也的确是赶走了几个孙家的远亲，但那些都是拿钱不做事还行贿的蛀虫。
“谁知道从零学起、每天啃书到两点是什么感觉？知道连续一周在酒桌上对瓶子吹到胃出血、只是为了拿下一个项目是什么感觉？知道明明清楚那些老东西存着什么恶心的念头、却必须强忍着笑脸相迎是什么感觉？！”孙刖想到自己这些年吃的苦，就不禁咬牙。
掐指算算，她马上28岁了。
恋爱没谈过，胃病腰病极严重，每天恨不得住在公司。
她阴沉的视线中含着狠：“我踩着刀子、付出一切走到今天这个位置，他们说抢我的东西就要抢走，哪有那么好的事情？”
顾之桑：“所以为了达成你的目的，就要踩死别人吗？”
孙刖锐声：“弱肉强食，哪有那么多公平？！”
她呼吸微喘，并不觉得自己做错了：
“顾大师，你们这些人有超常的能力，凌驾于我们普通人之上，可以随意抉择我们的生死福祸，这公平吗？”
“寒门苦读无出路，耗尽几代人的钱包生存买房，富二代生下来不学无术却能挥霍无度，这公平吗？”
“像我这样辛苦经营公司，最后却被人夺走一切，难道公平吗？”
孙刖冷笑说道：“人生从来没有公平过，从来都是大鱼吃小鱼、小鱼吃虾米，商场如战场，她们不死，我就得死。”
她不由想到了做决定那天。
尽管得知了孙传发的动摇、得知了孙大伯的无耻行径，可她清楚就算自己杀了这些人，也无济于事。
孙传发怕死、多疑，她不能保证自己能从十几份遗嘱中得到公司股权。
所以生气归生气，她很冷静。
她已经不是当年那个被当成皮球来回踢、任人嫌弃却无能为力的小女孩儿了，孙刖这样想。
想要打消孙传发的念头、彻底让大伯一家滚蛋，并且获得股权的方法，其实方法很简单。
给孙传发一个他认为的、可以‘传承血脉’的孩子。
只要有一个孩子，孙传发就不会发癫，把股份给大伯和堂哥。
而婴儿想要成人，最少也要十几年；
这期间孙刖可以清理枝叶、可以慢慢想办法磨死孙传发，甚至可以给这个孩子洗脑，让他把自己当成母亲……
但孙名浩死了，孙传发废了。
这几乎是不可能的事情。
到了她这个高度，总能听到商圈里一些真真假假的小道消息。
越是高位者越怕死、越迷信，不少老板都养小鬼、种生基、养祖坟风水，还流传着某某公司就是靠着大师指点才起死回生的类似传说。
孙刖抱着一丝期望去寻找玄学方法，试图能够得偿所愿，万万没想到那位大师真的有方法！
哪怕知道这种方法做她会天打雷劈、断子绝孙，但她还是按照对方教的步骤，一步步地布置下了。
就是现在，孙刖也没几分后悔。
听完孙刖的话，顾之桑眉尖微皱。
她想说些什么，最终却只是轻轻摇头没有开口。
她清楚无论自己说什么，孙刖的观念都已经在一次次压抑而不健康的对弈中扭曲了，完全变成了一个‘商人’。
为了赢，孙刖可以不择手段，也可以抛弃原则。
顾之桑喜欢她的韧劲儿，佩服她的狠劲儿，但她们终归不是一路人。
她声音加快，想快点解决这件事：
“孙刖用的方法非常阴毒，首先她在出租屋里布置好最关键的镜子，把遗像放入其中，紧接着用低廉的房租吸引你们入住。以各种借口拿到你们的照片后，她就把你们的照片在孙名浩的遗像前烧了，这份相片会像纸钱一样烧到阴间的孙名浩的亡魂手中。
我猜测孙刖烧照片的时候，还烧了一封信，上面大概率写着欺骗孙名浩的话，类似孙传发要给他结冥婚这样的话。”
也就是说，孙刖不仅骗人。
她连鬼都骗。
“你说的没错。”孙刖没否认。
要养一个鬼胎的第一步，就是选择一个母体。
她贸然动孙名浩的尸体，底下的阴魂是能感觉到的，为了让孙名浩心甘情愿，她就按照那位大师的方法，用黄纸写了一封信骗鬼。
骗孙名浩让它选一个冥婚对象，这样动它的尸骨时，它就不会排斥、异动了。
“我本来只想让孙名浩自己选，选一个最倒霉的。”孙刖冷冷笑了，语气嫌恶：“没想到我这个继弟到了阴间，还是这么贪得无厌，它选了你们所有人。”
烧完照片没过两天，孙刖就在睡梦中梦到了孙名浩。
它拿着所有照片，没有甄选出哪一个人最合心意，而是全都要。
就连孙刖带着恶意、为故意羞辱孙名浩一起烧过去的男网红的照片，孙名浩都拿在手里，一个没放过。
从某种程度，他们确实是血脉相连的至亲，都遗传了孙传发的劣根性。
一样坏，一样贪婪。
如此一来，孙名浩选择了合租屋的每一个人，一个都不放过，就和他们都建立了灵异链接。
这时给孙刖出招的大师，便开始动它埋在坟土里的尸体。
具体是怎么做到的，孙刖并不知道。
每次都是那人给她发消息，让她去固定地点拿东西——用纸包裹着的软软的、带着古怪腥气的肉块。
哪怕没有腐烂的臭味，孙刖也清楚自己手里拿着的是什么玩意儿，她强忍着恶心加工，再送到合租屋。
看着那些女孩子天真、满是信任的笑脸，一开始她心中也有犹豫、退缩。
But when she thought of Sun Chuanfa's hysterical and neurotic behavior, and the relatives who were eyeing him covetously, her heart slowly sank.
Gu Zhisang's eyebrows were indifferent: "How could Sun Minghao, an ordinary ghost in the underworld, know that the so-called 'ghost marriage' and asking him to select his contract partner are all scams."
If a person's body is broken and his flesh is dug out, he will die.
Ghosts don't.
But as long as the soul has not been reincarnated and remains in the underworld, the "bottom of the ocean" of the soul is always closely related to the remains left in the world of the living.
Otherwise, there would be no concept of feng shui for ancestral homes and tombs.
If the corpse in the grave is damaged or the feng shui is ruined, it will have a great impact on the soul in the underworld.
When Sun Minghao's body was first dug up and destroyed, it didn't feel much, but after it happened many times, it realized something was wrong.
The people who dug up its grave and took its flesh were obviously not ordinary people. They used special powers and magic to do it. Every time a piece of its flesh was dug out, its soul would be reduced by one point, and its power would be reduced by one point!
If it continues like this, I'm afraid its entire soul will collapse!
Only then did Sun Minghao realize that he had been deceived by Sun Yue.
It wanted to stop the leakage of power and prevent its soul from being taken away, but the link was its own choice in the first place and now it was out of control.
It wanted to invade Sun Yue's dream and stop intimidating Sun Yue, but found that it could not find the entrance to Sun Yue's dream at all.
Sun Minghao had no idea that Sun Yue had already changed his fate and birth date with the help of others.
Just like this, Sun Minghao, a ghost who had been dead for five or six years, was used around by Sun Yue. Now he probably only has half of his soul left and may die at any time.
As for the stolen soul power, it was wrapped in the dug out pieces of flesh, entered the bodies of the girls who shared the room through their mouths, and took root and sprouted.
The actual residue is meat, which can cause stomach upset in girls, but it will eventually be digested and excreted by the body without a trace.
But the accompanying corpse gas and yin energy, because of the spiritual connection, condensed in their bodies into something that could not be eliminated and was also invisible, and it remained dormant in their stomachs.
Getting bigger and bigger...
Finally, from the girls' soft bellies, an alien will tear apart the skin and flesh and break out of the "soil" that has nurtured it.
That was what Sun Yue needed, a "child" belonging to the Sun family.
Gu Zhisang suddenly said, "Sun Yue, have you ever thought about a question?"
“That person changed your fate and made your luck better;
Help you reverse yin and yang, let the life of the dead grow in the body of the living, and create uncontrollable aliens..."
"He is so powerful, and your initial wish was just to get the shares of Sun Group."
Sun Yue's eyelids twitched.
"The master said that the will was entered into the Yang World's network system. Even after it was changed, many people who had seen it remembered it. There are also many variables. Only this method is foolproof..."
"Leaving aside the system, he can even fool ghosts. The simplest way is to brainwash your father Sun Chuanfa, control him with spells, and let him change his will directly. Isn't it possible to write a new one?" Gu Zhisang interrupted Sun Yue and said with a smile:
"He is fooling even the devils. How do you know that you are not being manipulated into playing chess?"
Sometimes those involved are confused, while those who are not involved can see things more clearly.
If Sun Yue was in Gu Zhisang's position, she might not fail to notice the strangeness, but she was in it, and her greedy heart and lost reason made her unable to see through the fog before her.
At this moment, a crack appeared in the mist, her smile froze, the corners of her mouth twitched and she couldn't speak.
Gu Zhisang smiled: "You can't even see yourself clearly, so why do you think you can control the aliens caused by the imbalance of yin and yang?"
Her eyes were cold and gloomy. “You have no idea what those things will become once they grow up.”
