According to Liang Yubai's own description, other exorcists in the family passed by here and took away the soul of a woman, then locked it in the body of a doll and temporarily placed it in her own rental house. When she finished her business and returned, she found that the soul in the doll had run away.
When he was about to leave, he suddenly discovered that the soul was possessed by a woman, but there were many people at the time and he lost it, so Liang Yubai came here to deal with this matter.
Everything was fine before, why was it attacked suddenly?
Yu Yao recalled the brief disappearance of Liang Yubai yesterday. She guessed that she had encountered this situation yesterday, but she was suddenly released yesterday, allowing Liang Yubai to go back in time to deal with Zhenqin's matter.
She slowly walked in the direction indicated by the objects, carefully recalling some of the things Liang Yubai mentioned about this place last time.
This area is probably composed of some abandoned factories and a forest. It used to be a gathering place for gangsters, but later it was completely abandoned. I heard that many people died here. As for the resentment, there must be some. When you think about it this way, this area is quite dangerous.
Yu Yao took out her cell phone and took a picture of Bai Fang, told him her approximate current location, and then tried to call Liang Yubai. Sure enough, no one answered.
She passed by abandoned factories on both sides, most of which had closed iron gates and a flat patch of dust at the entrance. No one had been walking around for a long time. This area was particularly quiet, without a single human voice. The entire street was filled with the sound of Yu Yao's footsteps, and there was not even the chattering sound of objects.
It was Yu Yao's first time to visit such an old yet very quiet place, which made her feel a little strange and indescribable.
A place with many old things must be very noisy, but this place was exceptionally quiet, so quiet that it was eerie, and she subconsciously felt that something was not simple.
It’s not because there are no old objects that can speak, but because everyone is afraid to speak.
If Yu Yao, who has been around many strange things for many years, were to rank the people, events and things she knows, they would be people, ghosts, objects and plants. Among these classes, the only things that can make objects quiet are people or ghosts. If the so-called yin energy is heavy, even objects will subconsciously become quiet.
However, Yu Yao seldom goes to such places. Ordinary souls rarely appear there, and they will not spread their aura so wantonly. Even Miss Makoto from Ye Laihe usually hides herself.
Should we say that these things here are filled with heavy yin energy... or rich resentment?
It was a bit hot all the way, but as soon as I got to this place, I felt a bit cold.
Yu Yao rubbed her arms and rubbed the dust on the ground with the tip of her shoes. It seemed that she had not been here for a long time. Whether it was the streets or the doors of every abandoned factory, they were all covered with dust. There was no trace of anyone having set foot on them. From this, it can be judged that Liang Yubai at least did not enter these abandoned factories.
Not on the streets, not in the abandoned factories...
Yu Yao slowly raised her gaze towards the small path leading to the dark woods not far away.
This forest is just behind this deserted town. There is only a small path leading to it, and there is a mountain above it. It is said that there is a tourist attraction on the top of the mountain, but Yu Yao does not like climbing mountains. After living here, she has never climbed it. She only heard that people often got lost and disappeared in the woods in this area, so later other roads were built to change the route, and this place became completely deserted.
The forest with thick fog where people often got lost in the past is probably here.
Yu Yao stared at the small entrance and carefully took a photo with her mobile phone and sent it to Bai Fang. As it would be easy to get lost, she didn't dare to go in for the time being.
The one who took Liang Yubai away was a soul possessed by a woman, and Liang Yubai was an exorcist. In addition, she had let Liang Yubai go once yesterday. Before she knew the other party's identity and purpose clearly, it was difficult for Yu Yao to label him as a bad person.
No matter if it was a person, a ghost or an object, Yu Yao always treated them in the same class, always wondering if there was some reason behind it.
Although I was a little worried, rushing into the forest where it was easy to get lost without any clues was not a good option.
While telling Bai Fang the address, she turned around and looked for old objects that could speak to find out some news about this place.
"Hello, can you speak?" Yu Yao turned around and first knocked on the dilapidated iron fence outside the window. It was rusty and very fragile, and the rust was all over her hand when she touched it.
Seeing no sound, she turned to the street lamp next to her, estimated the age of the object, raised her head and asked, "Hello, can you talk? I have something to ask, can you respond to me?"
The streets were still silent.
Yu Yao didn't get discouraged and went to ask about other things one by one. She walked along the street and asked for a long time, but no one responded to her.
Facing the silent old objects on the street, Yu Yao was silent for a moment, and slowly walked to an old table lying overturned under a street lamp. It was probably thrown there by the people who lived here when they moved away.
"This table looks good. The legs are made of iron. If we take them apart and send them to the scrap yard, I'm sure someone will want them." Yu Yao walked around the table, then rolled up her sleeves and pretended to go up and move the table.
A voice suddenly jumped out from the table, interrupting Yu Yao weakly: "What are you doing... Don't send me to the scrap yard."
Seeing that the other party deliberately lowered his voice, as if afraid to break the silence of the street, Yu Yao subconsciously lowered her voice as well. She squatted in front of the table and asked quietly, "I want to ask you something. If you tell me, I won't send you to the scrap yard."
"What an annoying little girl, please leave here as soon as possible. This is not a place for a girl like you." The table said in a low voice.
"Why? Isn't it just a place where no one lives?" Yu Yao turned her head and looked around. Apart from the desolation and an inexplicable chill, there was nothing overly strange about it.
"I'm not talking about this street. I'm talking about the woods behind it. Let's get out of here before it gets dark."
"What happened to the woods? Tell me about it."
"Don't think this is just an ordinary forest. Many people have gone missing or died in this forest in the past. Don't think it looks fine now. Many people have died in this forest. All the resentment is locked up here. It's dangerous for a normal person to go in."
Yu Yao turned around and glanced at the narrow path leading deep into the woods. "Is it as exaggerated as you say? How come I've never heard of it before?"
After all, she was a person who visited the urban legend forum every day, so such a real thing must have been discussed heatedly on the top.
"Now... now... someone is in charge. Although the soul will not come out to harm people on its own initiative, it will still be very dangerous if it gets touched by something." The table reminded Yu Yao seriously.
"Is there someone in charge? Is there anyone who can control souls?" Yu Yao suddenly became curious about this place. "What kind of person is in charge of this soul? Is he a ghost exorcist?"
"Of course it's a soul too, able to control others. It's a resentful ghost that lingers even after death. I wonder if it's related to the resentment from her life, but she always controls these ghosts and traps them here."
"I heard that he ran away and possessed a woman before. He must still want to be a human being, but he was working outside and came back here at the same time. I don't know what he was thinking."
"Maybe he still wants to control the ghosts here."
Yu Yao glanced back at the dark path in confusion. "Controlling the ghosts here? Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"
"This may be a good thing for humans, but not necessarily for ghosts."
Yu Yao squatted there, staring at the woods in a daze for a moment. Suddenly, she remembered something and turned to ask, "My friend is still in there. Do you know what the possessed woman's characteristics are? Her name? Her job? Her clothes? Anything is fine."
"As for the name..." The table pondered for two seconds, "It should be okay to tell you a little girl from outside, but wait...what's your name, little girl?"
Yu Yao immediately replied, "My name is Yu Yao."
"..." The table fell silent for a moment. "Just pretend I didn't say a word about what I just said. It's up to you whether you send it to the scrap yard or not."
"Huh?" Yu Yao squatted there in a daze, reaching out and knocking on the useless table. "Wait, at least tell me something, even a little bit. Didn't you say it's okay to tell the little girl from outside?"
Yu Yao stared at the table in front of her in confusion, totally bewildered as to why he refused to say anything when he heard her name.
It seemed that as soon as Yu Yao announced her name, the whole street became even quieter.
She's not that notorious. At most, she might have just threatened someone by asking for information.
Yu Yao squatted there, fiddling with her phone and asking about the situation on Bai Fang's side, feeling worried.
Did the soul in the forest specifically instruct the objects in this area not to tell her the news?
Just as I was thinking about it, Bai Fang replied.
[I just finished here. Send me the address and I'll come find you. Please don't just go into the woods in the photo you just took.]
[good. ]
After responding, Yu Yao continued to squat there, reflecting.
Whether it was the objects passing by or the things in this area, they all seemed to be deliberately concealing information about that soul from her. But that soul should have come for Liang Yubai, and it also specifically reminded the objects along the way. It must know her and know her ability.
Maybe I got to know her because of the investigation into Liang Yubai, and I got to know her by the way, but not many people knew that she could communicate with objects.
Ordinary souls cannot communicate with objects. Unless they understand that objects can speak and their characteristics, they can unilaterally issue orders or threats to them, which such people can also do.
For example, you can say to your phone, “If you lag again, I’ll throw you away.”
Cell phones that have been used for a long time may be a little smarter, or when they feel tired, they may simply find an opportunity to self-destruct and go to the scrap yard.
You can convey awareness without hearing them speak.
Another possibility is that this soul was able to hear objects speak when it was alive?
Yu Yao was there seriously considering various possibilities.
