Chapter 169: Pretend to be dead
When they arrived at the hospital, they found that Nie Jianxi was already there.
The ward was sealed off, and there was no doubt that the matter was naturally handed over to the special department.
Nan Huo's body was even lying neatly on the hospital bed, but it's not actually accurate to say that, because his death was not a good one.
Blood was gushing out of all his orifices, his eyes were open, his pupils were dilated, and he was in an extremely painful posture before dying.
As soon as Nie Jianxi arrived, he pasted a few yellow talismans in the ward.
Seeing Yan Shu, Qiu Tingxu and Xu Yansheng coming over, he was silent for a while and asked: "Xu Yansheng, can you see anything?"
Xu Yansheng looked at Nan Huo, whose death was horrific, lying on the hospital bed, and the increasingly thick black aura.
"The black air has become even thicker."
Nie Jianxi nodded. "I heard that someone in school wanted to jump off the building to commit suicide today? Is it related to this person?"
Qiu Tingxu was a little surprised: "Didn't Yan Shu tell you?"
Nie Jianxi: "He only said that someone died mysteriously, but he didn't say what happened specifically."
Yan Shu spread his hands and said, "How can I explain it clearly in just a few words?"
"There is indeed a connection. This person mentally controlled and bullied the student who wanted to jump off the building, causing him to have suicidal tendencies and behaviors."
"The student has been rescued and is in much better spirits."
"But what does this have to do with his mysterious death?"
Nie Jianxi nodded at Nan Huo and said, "He must have been controlled by someone with evil spirits. The strong evil spirits will amplify the evil thoughts in his heart and will also affect the people around him."
"I guess his friends are all like him, bullying their classmates."
Yan Shu's world views had been shattered and reshaped in the process of seeing ghosts time and time again, and he accepted them well.
"How come the student who jumped off the building didn't have any evil intentions?"
Nie Jianxi looked at the three of them: "Really? There must be some, it's just a matter of varying strengths."
Qiu Tingxu suddenly remembered: "Yes, he was jealous at that time, so he asked Xu Yansheng and I to go up, and also asked us to break up, but later on, I gradually lost that feeling."
Nie Jianxi nodded: "It's normal. Where there are negative influences, there are positive influences. The three of you are enough to dispel the evil thoughts that have been magnified in people who are already kind."
Then he pointed at Nan Huo and said calmly, "He must have been given a mission to cause a death in the school. The person chosen must die with extreme emotions, so that he can become a ghost."
"And school is a paradise for ghosts."
"But in general, schools have a strong yang energy, so ordinary ghosts cannot stay here. However, if someone who has stayed in the school for a long time and is extremely unwilling to accept his fate dies in the school, it is very likely that he will turn into a fierce ghost in one step."
"If you hadn't saved that student, the school would have been in chaos next."
"But you saved that classmate. As compensation for the loss, the person who was assigned to carry out the mission will be killed by the evil spirit."
"This is why this student died despite having stable vital signs."
"He probably didn't even know he was chosen."
"Either the person being bullied dies or he dies, one of them has to die."
He glanced at Yan Shu and said softly, "Fortunately you informed me early, otherwise the hospital would be in chaos. The hospital is already full of negative energy, and he is more likely to turn into a fierce ghost."
Yan Shu wondered whether you were praising me for my good work or criticizing me for not doing a good job in sending the patient to the hospital.
He tentatively asked, "Maybe I should just take him to the police station as well?"
Nie Jianxi nodded: "The police station is better, they have their own righteousness and can suppress the evil spirits. Maybe he can die later."
Yan Shu: "...That's my fault. How would I know there are so many twists and turns here? I just want to rectify the social atmosphere and economic market."
Nie Jianxi shook his head gently: "I don't blame you. You will die sooner or later. It doesn't make much difference whether you die earlier or later."
For a moment, Yan Shu couldn't tell whether Nie Jianxi was kind or not. If you say he is kind, he doesn't even blink an eye when some people die. If you say he is not kind, he works hard to prevent more people from dying from evil spirits.
It's really strange.
"Stop talking nonsense. What should we do next? How can we investigate if the person is dead?"
Nie Jianxi looked at Qiu Tingxu, "Tingxu, can you try to choose to share memories now?"
Qiu Tingxu had previously acquired memories from skeletons, but now he was suddenly asked to acquire memories from a person who had just died...
Sorry, this is a bit creepy.
But we can't wait until the corpse turns into bones before going, right? It’s outrageous just to think about it.
So Qiu Tingxu took a deep breath and slowly reached out his hand to Nan Huo's forehead.
The closer it is to the brain, the easier it should be to retrieve the memory, right?
Before he could put his hand on it, Nan Huo's big, beautiful eyes suddenly turned.
He slid to the side at an extremely unnatural angle and speed, staring straight at Qiu Tingxu. Blood was oozing from every hole on his face, and his eyeballs were moving strangely, which was very scary.
Qiu Tingxu was startled and jumped back to Xu Yansheng's side.
Pointing at Nan Huo with a shaking finger, he asked Nie Jianxi: "Is this a resurrection?"
Nie Jianxi said calmly, "Don't be afraid. This is his ghost trying to control this lifeless body. But I put a talisman on him. He can only perform some simple movements and cannot hurt anyone."
Qiu Tingxu didn't understand: "Then why don't you just send him to hell? This is an example of a failed attempt to train a cannon fodder to become a villain. If you hesitate for a second, you will be sorry for the victim."
Nie Jianxi looked at him and explained, "If a person's soul disappears, then his memory will also disappear. Our next step will become even more confusing."
Qiu Tingxu suddenly realized: "So that's why. No wonder all the memories I've acquired so far are of ghosts. So the body is not that important?"
Nie Jianxi nodded, "Yes, you didn't use your body when you first empathized with Luo Qingfeng and Luo Qingyue."
Qiu Tingxu still felt uncomfortable, "Then can you please stop him from pretending to be dead? I have a psychological disorder."
Nie Jianxi casually slapped a talisman on Nan Huo's forehead and said, "Sleep."
Nan Huo's eyeballs stopped moving, but his eyes were still wide open.
Qiu Tingxu couldn't bear to look directly at him: "How about you let him compare his eyes?"
Nie Jianxi: "He couldn't close his eyes. He just died with his eyes open."
Xu Yansheng didn't want Qiu Tingxu to do something against his will, so he pulled Qiu Tingxu behind him.
"If you don't want to do it, don't do it. Let them investigate it themselves."
Qiu Tingxu: "Well, that would be a waste of time. Let me think about it."
He pulled up the quilt on the bed, covering Nan Huo's entire body, including his bloody face.
"Isn't this solved?"
"As long as your thinking doesn't slip, there are always more solutions than problems!"
He rubbed his hands together, then carefully stretched out a finger and pressed it on Nan Huo's crown.
Concentrate your energy and imagine that you are absorbing other people's inner strength.
The next second, his head felt numb, and a series of memories that did not belong to him seemed to flow through his fingertips into his cerebral cortex.
