Chapter 198 No One Is Wrong
As Qi Gu finished speaking, the other four people in the box all looked confused, and then their confusion turned into shock. Dead? How could they die? They can speak and run, and still have their own thoughts...
How could a person look like this after death?
Qi Gu said: "Some ghosts will forget the memory of their own death after death, thinking that they are still alive in the world, and then live like ordinary people until the body begins to rot and stink..."
"If you still don't believe it, you can look at your torso and limbs." Qi Gu looked at the four people opposite him. Only then did they realize that in October, when the weather was still hot, they were actually wearing long sleeves and long pants, covering their entire bodies tightly.
Several people hurriedly lifted up their sleeves and saw their arms covered with corpse spots under their sleeves.
When they feel they are still alive, they will automatically ignore the inharmonious aspects of themselves, and even subconsciously try to cover up the fact that they are dead. It is like this box, which is filled with at least four or five different scents of perfume, making people dizzy.
After confirming Qi Gu's words, the four people's originally normal faces began to show corpse spots, and then one by one their faces turned pale as if they had reached the end of their lives.
Dead, it turns out they are already dead.
Everyone thought sadly in their hearts.
Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi did not interrupt, but waited quietly for them to digest the news that they were dead.
After a long while, Xu Leyan raised his head and looked at Qi Gu: "Master...how did I die? Why don't I remember anything?"
The other three people had the same question, so four eyes turned to Qi Gu at the same time.
He died but remembered nothing, exactly the same as Lin Youxin's situation.
Qi Gu lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then said, "First, tell me what you remember?"
A group of confused ghosts began to tell their experiences in life one by one.
Xu Leyan was the one who felt the most baffled. After all, other people could say that they were affected because of the ceremony held during the filming of the film, but as a director, he only directed the actors throughout the filming and did not participate himself.
In his narration, he had been busy raising funds for the film, drinking and networking, and had done nothing else. Finally, he speculated: "Could it be that I have been drinking every day recently and lack of sleep, so I died suddenly?"
Lin Hanzhi glanced at him and said like a subordinate counting votes: "Very good, your insensitivity is very strong. Next one."
Liu Yue briefly talked about the ritual he held to raise a ghost fetus with a Buddha amulet, and also said that he often felt someone was watching him recently. Qi Gu listened and asked: "Do you still have the Buddha amulet used in the ritual?"
Liu Yue shook his head: "If I were shooting other TV shows, I might keep some props as a souvenir, but this is a horror movie. Who would leave such an unlucky thing behind?"
Qi Gu said coldly: "Lower your head."
A spiritual fire ignited at the fingertips and went towards Liu Yue's collarbone.
After a few seconds, the spiritual fire burned away the illusion, revealing a black Buddha amulet strung with a black rope hanging around Liu Yue's neck. Traces of blood seeped between the patterns on the amulet, and the twisted lines eventually took the shape of a childish eye.
No wonder... no matter how hard Liu Yue looked, she couldn't find out who was spying on her, because that thing was hanging around her neck from beginning to end, watching her every move all the time.
Liu Yue looked panicked, tore off the amulet and threw it on the ground, then looked at Qi Gu: "But, but I don't feel any good luck. My life and career have been mediocre in the past six months..."
Qi Gu looked at her fate and grasped a point from the entangled silk thread: "You should have had a great disaster this year, probably a car accident or something like that, but you escaped it with the help of the ghost fetus. Because the ghost fetus escaped such a great disaster for you, but you did not offer it any sacrifices, so it can only absorb your vitality."
A little black ghost crawled out of the Buddha amulet that fell to the ground. It had a round belly and thin limbs, and it crawled on the ground on all fours. It crawled very slowly, and every few steps it would stop to carefully sniff the air, and then continue to crawl towards Liu Yue's direction unswervingly.
This ghost baby is still a little blind.
Liu Yue had not yet gotten used to her identity as a ghost. She was so frightened by the strange scene that she stood up on the stool. But the ghost refused to give in and kept reaching out his hand towards her.
"Master, save me!" Liu Yue asked for help.
"It didn't mean to hurt you." Qi Gu said, "It stands to reason that if the ghost fetus doesn't get the proper offerings within a month, it will attack the host, but you didn't notice its existence from beginning to end, which shows that it didn't mean to hurt you. It absorbed your vitality later because it could no longer control itself after blocking the disaster for you. It was too weak."
Liu Yue was stunned: "But, but I don't know if it's true..."
She didn't even know that she had actually signed a contract with a ghost fetus, so how could she remember to offer offerings to it?
The ghost fetus seemed to finally sense Liu Yue's rejection of it. Its two arms, which had been raised in pursuit of a hug, dropped down, and it crawled silently and darkly to the corner of the box, clinging to the wall like a gecko.
The ghost fetus was abandoned as soon as she was born because she was a blind little girl and no one liked blind little girls.
Perhaps her parents did not want to give her a chance to survive, so she was abandoned in the cold winter, and when her small body was found, it was bitten to pieces by wild dogs, with only some torn summer clothes on her body.
She was a blind little girl, so she could only sit there and wait. When she died, she knew nothing and had no concept of anything. She didn't know about birth, old age, sickness and death, parents and children, and she couldn't even understand human language.
She was picked up by a human who practiced evil magic and brought him home. That human tortured her cruelly, turned her into a ghost fetus, made her into a Buddha amulet, and then sold her to the public.
One day, she was taken to a place full of noisy voices. She felt the Buddha amulet she had hidden was gently taken up by someone. The person had a light citrus scent on him. She liked this smell very much. It smelled very much like the smell that filled the ward when she was just born.
Later, she followed the smell back home. She always followed her duty as a Buddha amulet to bring good luck to the owner of the smell, even if her owner had never worshipped her.
Just having this smell is enough.
But later, the more she gave, the less she got, and she began to absorb the life force from her master uncontrollably. She tried to remind the other party to make offerings to her, which was something she knew instinctively after being refined into a Buddha amulet, but she could not speak or write. She was abandoned and died just after she was born, and she could not do anything.
She tried to warn him with her prying eyes, but it didn't have much effect. The fragrant citrus scent began to disappear from its owner, leaving only the smell of decay.
The taste she longed for was gone again.
But it seemed that neither she nor Liu Yue was at fault.
