Chapter 186 Videotape
Qi Gu had not expected to encounter such an unexpected accident the first time he was a "director". He silently gave the wandering soul a guilty look and thought to himself that he would burn more paper money for it later.
The reason why Tiewan was not used was mainly because Mu Xingchen was not brought along on this trip.
Fortunately, Qi Gu was not a good actor, but he had good luck in choosing ghosts. The wandering soul turned out to be very dedicated. Even when an emergency occurred outside the rehearsal, it did not affect its performance at all. It was far better than Qi Gu by a hundred kilometers and could be called a hidden gem in the entertainment industry.
It was facing Huang Andao's horrible, decadent face, with its sharp nails digging into Huang Guoliang's neck, slowly closing them up. The nails were so sharp that they quickly cut Huang Guoliang's rough skin, and warm blood dripped onto the ground.
Huang Guoliang had already been frightened into incontinence by the wandering ghost's sudden strangling of his neck, and now he was instantly sobered up by the strangulation. He struggled constantly and made a similar hoarse sound as Huang Andao had made before.
"Let, huh, go, huh, me..." Huang Guoliang begged desperately, not knowing why Huang Andao suddenly attacked... It was obvious that the other party should not know that he had harmed him!
The wandering ghost grinned, revealing his jagged teeth, and said something in ghost language, tightening his grip on Huang Guoliang's neck.
Huang Guoliang was having difficulty breathing. His body, which had been burning hot due to the alcohol, felt like it was thrown into a river, freezing cold to the bone. He simply couldn't understand what Huang Andao was saying!
What can he do if he can’t even communicate! How to save yourself!
Just when he was in despair, he tilted his head back and saw the figures of Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi. For a moment, he didn't care about anything else and struggled to reach out his hand: "Master, save me, save me!"
There was fear on Lin Hanzhi's handsome face. The arms around Qi Gu's waist slowly tightened, and he spoke slowly: "It's not that we don't want to save you, it's just that we can't deal with this evil ghost for the time being..."
"Unless...unless you do as he says." Qi Gu's waist was burning hot as Lin Hanzhi hugged him, causing his eyes to unconsciously fall down.
He had not trained Lin Hanzhi on this reaction in advance, it was all done freely by Lin Hanzhi... Lin Hanzhi really liked to hug people, it was like this when they first met.
"But I can't understand anything it's saying!" Huang Guoliang yelled in horror.
Qi Gu said: "I understand some of it. I tell you, if you do as it says, nothing will happen to you. But if you don't... it says it will kill you right now."
The torture of dying at any time made Huang Guoliang instinctively unable to have any other thoughts. He just followed Qi Gu and said, "Okay... I will do it. Can you let it let me go first?"
I don’t know why Huang Andao, an honest farmer in his lifetime, became so cruel after his death!
Where on earth did he reveal his flaw?
After Qi Gu and You Hun had a "cautious" communication, You Hun finally let go of Huang Guoliang's neck, but the look in his eyes was still full of resentment, as if he would hit him again at any time.
Huang Guoliang was frightened and hurriedly hid behind Qi Gu.
Qi Gu avoided his movements and said, "Don't move, it will anger it!"
Huang Guoliang covered his injured neck, afraid and dared not move.
Seeing that the man had been frightened enough, Qi Gu struck while the iron was hot and started asking questions in unison with Youhun.
But in fact, the ghost language spoken by the wandering soul is "12345, 678910."
After all, their rehearsal time was limited, and Youhun had no time to memorize all the lines. But Huang Guoliang couldn't understand them anyway, so he just let them say whatever they wanted.
Huang Guoliang suffered from his lack of education.
The wandering soul was very dedicated, shouting 12345 with precise movements and expressions, and one could clearly see hatred in his expression.
Qi Gu began to translate: "It asked, why did you want to harm it? It also said that the ghosts who were killed in the underworld must know who and how they were killed in their lifetime, so that they can settle their grudges and enter the next life. If you don't explain everything clearly and correctly, it will not be able to reincarnate, and will haunt you forever... making it difficult for you to sleep peacefully."
The word "forever" broke Huang Guoliang's defense. No one can accept that no matter what he does, there is always a fierce ghost around him who wants to kill and torture him.
He immediately shook his head vigorously: "No, no... I'll tell you everything, everything!"
There were tears in his eyes that were even more terrified than when he was dying.
"I... I owed gambling debts at that time, and they were the ones who schemed against me! They tricked me into gambling, and when I didn't want to play anymore, they deliberately lent me money. When they lent me the money, they said there would be no interest. But within two days, they came to my door and said that if I didn't pay back the money and interest, they would use my family's land to pay off the debt... How could my land be worth only two thousand!" Huang Guoliang was an idle old man in his fifties who had no money to marry and was exactly the favorite target of those people.
Huang Guoliang couldn't come up with the two thousand yuan, so he went into hiding. Since he couldn't afford to stay in a hotel, he spent a little money to rent a book from a bookstore, and then slept on the small sofa there.
Occasionally, he would rent discs to watch in the store. The discs available in the small county town were mostly those with a bit of color, which were quite tempting to people like Huang Guoliang.
One day, Huang Guoliang found a special disc among the pile of discs. The cover was pure black. Huang Guoliang thought it was curious, so he opened it and took a look.
After a brief camera rotation, Huang Guoliang saw a vast expanse of white subtitles that read "Everything is completely true. If you are willing, please try it."
Then, the disc contained some strange ritual methods. Huang Guoliang initially thought it was just the prelude to the film and watched it patiently. But who would have thought that even at the end, there wasn't a single bit of pornography in the film. Huang Guoliang, angry at his unresolved sexual desire, took out the film and threw it back into the video box.
Just then, the bookstore owner came back from outside and urged Huang Guoliang to pay the money he had owed for the past few days, otherwise he would be asked to get out.
Huang Guoliang couldn't afford the money, and he kept cursing the bookstore owner, saying that he looked down on him and that he would kill him with money tomorrow when he became rich.
The bookstore owner saw that the man was a busybody and didn't dare to get into a conflict with him, so he didn't say anything more.
Huang Guoliang lay down on the small sofa again and closed his eyes. His mind was filled with the threatening face of the debt collector and the disgusted look of the bookstore owner as if he was looking at a rat.
Money... isn't it just money!
The scenes in the movie suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. If he remembered correctly, there was a ceremony in it to pray for wealth, right?
Thinking of this, Huang Guoliang sat up suddenly, then without saying a word, picked up the disc and rushed to the old TV again.
Coffin gas...seeking wealth...
The person who filmed this video tape is obviously very good at manipulating people's hearts and minds. He knows that if he exchanges his own life for money, not everyone may be willing to do it. But if he exchanges the life of others for money... isn't that just taking money for free without paying any price?
Huang Guoliang thought about it and considered all his relatives and friends, and finally decided to try it out at his cousin Sufen's house.
This family is honest, and even if they find out something, they won’t make a fuss.
At the beginning, Huang Guoliang actually just wanted to make a few thousand dollars to pay off his gambling debts. He quickly implemented his plan. He went to the cemetery and found a fresh coffin that had been buried not long ago. He lifted the coffin board, polished it again and placed it on the path that Sufen's family must pass. He also drew the talisman for changing luck according to the video tutorial and tricked Huang Andao, who was drunk by him, into agreeing to it. Then, he used the only three dollars left in his pocket to go to the lottery station in a small county town and randomly bought a set of Mark Six balls.
He was not sure whether this method would work, but if it didn't, he had no other choice.
In this way, Huang Guoliang stayed in the rental bookstore for another two days with an uneasy mood. The bookstore owner looked at him with more and more disgust, as if he was looking at a cockroach that he wanted to step on to death.
On the third day, the lottery draw took place.
Huang Guoliang checked the numbers under his breath, one, two, three... He won, six thousand yuan! Six thousand yuan was enough for him to pay off his gambling debts and the money owed to the bookstore owner, so that he could live a life without fear again!
Huang Guoliang happily came to the lottery shop to exchange money. As the amount was not large, the boss checked the lottery ticket and gave him the money directly.
After getting the money, Huang Guoliang walked briskly to the debt collector's home and paid back the money. Then, in the other party's surprised eyes, he strode to the rental bookstore and paid double the overdue money of the past few days, in return, the rental bookstore owner looked equally surprised and delighted.
The owner of the rental bookstore said: "I'm sorry for what happened before, I was just afraid..."
Huang Guoliang waved his hand and said, "It's okay, it's just a small matter. I'm just in trouble for the time being. Thank you for not kicking me out."
He said this like a wealthy man returning home in glory.
Huang Guoliang used the remaining money to travel around the county town for a few more days, spending most of his time hanging out in the red-light district that he could not afford before. On the last day, the woman kicked him out because he had no money. He spat in her face. He said, "If I want to make money, it's just a matter of raising my hand. You look so stupid. I won't hire you next time."
Having spent the money that he got without paying anything, Huang Guoliang naturally could not settle down again. He went to the lottery station again, bought a lottery ticket, and won another 10,000 yuan.
Huang Andao didn't feel obviously uncomfortable at the moment. At most, he was a little tired and got up late in the morning.
Sufen asked him if he wanted to go to the clinic to take his temperature. Huang Andao just waved his hand and said that there was no point in going to the clinic for such a minor illness when he had to save money for his child's schooling. A trip to the clinic would cost dozens or even hundreds of dollars.
Huang Guoliang's money was soon spent. He was afraid of people getting suspicious if he went to the lottery station to buy again, so he went to the casino. This time, he did not lose money. Every time, he was "lucky" enough to leave before the dealer gave him enough benefits and was ready to close his bet.
Soon, he was not allowed to enter the gambling games here.
So Huang Guoliang used the money he earned from gambling to buy a motorized tricycle, telling others that he was going to carry passengers, but in fact he was just going back and forth between the major casinos in the city to make money.
Finally one day, Huang Guoliang made a big bet and won two hundred thousand in one go.
He was thinking whether he should use the money to buy a house or get married, but he felt that two hundred thousand was still a little too little... He didn't know how Huang Andao's health was and how much money he could get from it.
Afterwards, he received a call for help from his cousin Sufen, who said that Huang Andao suddenly became ill and asked if she could lend him a car to take him to the county.
Huang Guoliang "kindly" agreed, in return for a string of praise and thanks from Sufen. Huang Guoliang thought to himself... two hundred thousand is not enough. If Huang Andao is gone, then Sufen will come instead. That is, he can change the horoscope on the bed and trick Sufen into agreeing to a contract.
Sufen didn't know what her cousin was thinking when he looked at her with his squinting eyes. She just felt that this cousin who had made great progress had become a better person recently, and wondered why he didn't move around more often before. If I had known he was such a loyal relative who would always be there for me, I should have treated him well.
In the next few days, Huang Guoliang helped Sufen advance several thousand yuan of medical expenses in the county town, and was also responsible for picking up Huang Andao, which earned Sufen's greater trust...
Later, when he saw Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi, and listened to Lin Hanzhi's exaggerated boasting and the classic nonsensical rhetoric of a ghost, he became more and more certain that they were liars. Therefore, he no longer worried that they would pose a threat to his plan. He dropped them off at the village entrance and left happily, finding his "brothers" to have a drink.
*
Huang Guoliang was afraid of death, so he quickly explained everything clearly. He kept explaining to Huang Andao that he really didn't want to kill Huang Andao at the beginning. He just wanted to get some money to pay off his gambling debts... But using evil magic to exchange for money was the same as gambling. He simply couldn't help it and couldn't stop.
Qi Gu asked: "Where is the video tape?"
There must be something fishy about that videotape, and we must find its source.
Huang Guoliang said that he bought it and hid it under the bed at home.
After all, there are some other evil spells on it. Although they cannot be exchanged for money, they are good for revenge.
Qi Gu heaved a sigh of relief and asked Lin Hanzhi to get the videotape. Then he was afraid that Lin Hanzhi was afraid of the dark, so he asked him, "Can you do it by yourself?"
There is only one street lamp installed in the open space at the entrance of the village, and the rest of the village is pitch dark.
Lin Hanzhi: “…I can do it.”
After he finished speaking, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he walked in front of Huang Guoliang and looked down at him with some disdain: "Take out the things in the pocket of your shirt."
Huang Guoliang trembled: "What, what?"
Lin Hanzhi grabbed his collar, frowned, reached into his pocket, picked up a bright red talisman with his fingertips and handed it to Qi Gu: "Here is the talisman."
Then, as if he couldn't wait even a second, he reached into his pocket for a wet wipe and wiped his fingers inside and out three times before he stopped and went out.
Qi Gu hesitated to speak: "Hanzhi..."
"Hmm?" Lin Hanzhi thought Qi Gu was still worried about her, so she turned around in the deep dusk behind the wooden door.
Qi Gu: "I wanted to say that you could have wiped your hands a little later, because you still have to look through things in his house later."
Lin Hanzhi:.
After Lin Hanzhi left, Qi Gu's expression became even colder. He looked at Huang Guoliang as if he was looking at a piece of paper. With a hissing sound, tongues of fire jumped out from his fingertips and licked the talisman. In a few seconds, the talisman between Huang Guoliang and Huang Andao was burned to ashes.
