Yu Yao was stunned.
"A cemetery?" She leaned towards the window blankly and looked out. Her sight passed through the small courtyard to the path outside and the house opposite. There were people walking back and forth and the house was very dilapidated. No matter how she looked at it, it didn't look like a cemetery at all.
"The village is abandoned, but the people inside may not be real people." Liang Yubai raised his chin towards the food placed at the door. "In such a deserted village, there is naturally no food. So you almost brought it in just now. You can imagine what it was."
Yu Yao was still a little confused. Although she did feel something very strange recently, for a moment she really couldn't tell the difference between a human and a ghost.
"Those people outside...ghosts, are they dangerous?"
When they came in, the ghosts didn't hurt her.
Bai Fang also stood outside the window in confusion, "I can see it too."
"Because this place is very special, after all, it is a place with a lot of ghosts."
"It doesn't look dangerous now, but tonight..." Liang Yubai turned around and sat down on the broken bench inside the house. "I came here last night. I was brought here by a woman. I woke up here. My things were all over the place. I escaped to this room in an emergency."
"During the day, they look quite normal, but at night they become very fierce, so just don't treat them as human beings." Liang Yubai leaned back in his chair and glanced at the two of them. "I didn't expect you two to come here to find me. Did you encounter any danger on the way?"
Yu Yao pulled Bai Fang around and sat down, and told Liang Yubai roughly what happened on the way here.
Liang Yubai listened quietly, nodding occasionally. "You're the only one who could have found it all the way here based on the information about the object, but it's really dangerous in the foggy woods."
"Here are your fan and phone." Yu Yao took the things she had found out of her bag and returned them to Liang Yubai. "Before your phone turned off, I received a call from someone who added the name Xiao Hei. Is he someone you know?"
Liang Yubai took the fan and put the phone in his pocket. "She's a ghost exorcist like me, from the same family. She was the one who made this woman's soul escape from the doll before. She was originally the one who came to investigate this time. I wanted to come and take a look, so I exchanged with her."
Yu Yao nodded thoughtfully. "Then maybe she can help us. I left her phone number. Do you have anything to say to her?"
Liang Yubai's eyes lit up, "You left her phone number? That's perfect. Let's stay here and wait for her to come."
Yu Yao fished out her phone from her pocket and just turned on the screen when she suddenly realized, "Huh? No signal?"
Bai Fang immediately took out his cell phone, but there was really no signal.
Liang Yubai took a look, then retracted his head and leaned back in his chair. "This is still the standard horror scene. The phone has no signal. It's because of the interference of the magnetic field. This is normal. As long as Xiao Hei knows our approximate location, she will find her own way to find us. I just don't know how long it will take."
As he spoke, Liang Yubai lowered his head and coughed twice, his face turning pale.
"Are you okay?" Yu Yao immediately came forward and put her hand on Liang Yubai's. She found that she was a little hot all over. "Do you have a fever?"
"That's a complicated story." Liang Yubai himself was very calm and waved his hand. "Don't worry, I was dragged into the water by Miss Makoto from Yorai River last night. I took her to the hospital soaking wet. As soon as I left, she dragged me here. I fought with ghosts all night and didn't go to bed until dawn. My clothes are dry now, but I don't seem to be feeling well."
Yu Yao thought about it and became a little nervous. "Then we have to leave here quickly. There's nothing to eat or drink here, and you're sick. It would be dangerous if we stay for too long."
She glanced outside and said, "How about we leave here while it's still daylight? It was fine when I came here, so it should be fine if I leave too?"
Liang Yubai smiled crookedly, "You're fine, but I'm not sure. I don't know why that woman didn't kill me directly, but trapped me here instead. But all these ghosts are here just to keep an eye on me."
"You are outside their police jurisdiction, so they won't bother with you."
Yu Yao shrank back on the stool in confusion and began to think, "Then the problem lies with the woman who brought you here, right?"
"Did you see what she looked like? What were her characteristics?"
Liang Yubai recalled, "It's quite ordinary... It doesn't seem to have any easily recognizable features. I haven't seen it before, so I don't recognize it."
She shook her head, a look of melancholy on her face. "This soul is a bit stubborn. It seems that it doesn't intend to leave that body. It has its own ideas. And..."
Liang Yubai tilted his head. "I don't know if I'm mistaken. She seems to have integrated well with that body, without any signs of rejection. In any case, it's not her original body, and the original owner would have resistance, which would usually cause adverse reactions."
"The woman possessed by the demon was quite normal. Apart from some ghostly aura, there was no instability. An ordinary person would definitely not be able to sense anything unusual from her."
Yu Yao was stunned when she heard this. "What special circumstances would cause her to be in this state?"
Liang Yubai was silent for a moment, then looked at Yu Yao with a normal expression, "There is a special situation that will cause this state. She is possessing a corpse without any consciousness, so there will be no rejection."
"But when she touched me last night, I could feel her body temperature and blood flow. She possessed a living person without a doubt."
Yu Yao was also confused.
Bai Fang, who was standing next to him, was silent for a long time. Then he said slowly, "What about the vegetative state? Is it considered a living corpse?"
Liang Yubai paused, staring at Bai Fang in thought for a moment, then said, "To be precise, a vegetative person's body can't move, but their consciousness exists. If possessed, there will be resistance from the consciousness. Possession isn't primarily about control over the body, but about the struggle for control over the consciousness. As long as there's consciousness, there will inevitably be resistance."
"When a soul possesses a person, it first struggles for control with the original owner's consciousness, then merges. Fusion is the ultimate state of possession, and the two souls interfere with each other, resulting in memory confusion, a poor mental state, and various trances and amnesia."
"But when I saw her reaction last night, it was extremely normal. Her thoughts were clear and her words were fluent, as if she had complete control. But I've never seen such a situation before."
Bai Fang also pondered, "Is it possible that the possessed soul could kill the original owner's soul and then seize control?"
Liang Yubai shook his head decisively, "The possessed soul cannot drive out or kill the original owner's soul. After all, the body does not belong to it in the first place."
"If this kind of action could be put into practice, a large number of souls would have already come looking for people to possess."
Bai Fang nodded silently.
"So, that possessed woman is weird?" Yu Yao shrunk her head as she leaned back in her chair. "It's kind of scary to see all these spirits possessing other people. They become someone else without even realizing it. Luckily, I don't have anyone like that around me."
Bai Fang glanced at Yu Yao unconsciously and said nothing.
"Let's stay here for now and wait for support. I'm already very tired. With so many souls guarding me outside, my chances of escaping from here are slim." Liang Yubai raised his head and sighed, muttering to himself, "If it weren't for that possession yesterday, I wouldn't feel so weak now."
"Yesterday? Were you possessed yesterday?" Yu Yao, who was very close, heard it with her sharp ears.
"Hmm...it'll only take about ten minutes." Liang Yubai sighed lightly, "But possessing me is stronger than possessing an ordinary person, so there's no real danger."
"Are you feeling okay now?" After she said that, Yu Yao became even more worried. She had caught a cold with a low fever, had been possessed, and was now staying in a place with a strong ghost aura. She felt very dangerous in every way.
Liang Yubai calmly unfolded the fan in his hand. "My body is fine. I'm more worried about the woman who brought me here. What is her intention? Is she going to kill me, or does she have other plans? From the looks of it, she just left me here and let these ghosts trap me, preventing me from leaving."
“Who knows what ideas will come next.”
At this point, Liang Yubai's face seemed to turn even paler. He looked up at the two of them and said, "Why don't you leave here first? While the ghosts outside aren't on guard against you, you can leave. It's very troublesome to involve two insignificant people like you. Instead of staying here with me, why not go out and help me contact Xiao Hei?"
"I'm worried about you being here alone." Yu Yao looked at her nervously. "What if you get into danger while we're away? You're so weak."
"That's better than the three of us getting into danger together, right?" Liang Yubai sighed helplessly. "Besides, if there really is danger, what can you two do to help?"
"I can! I can hear their voices. Even if they're hiding, I can still determine their location. I can also ask for clues from the old houses throughout the village. These are all old things." Yu Yao clenched her fists excitedly. "I'll stay and help you, and then Doctor Bai..."
She turned her head and glanced at Bai Fang. "Doctor Bai, you should definitely not get involved. So how about you take Xiao Hei's contact information and leave here, then go outside and bring people to find us?"
Bai Fang was silent, her expression a little heavy, as if she was not very reassured, but she really couldn't help much, after all, ghosts couldn't stand being beaten.
At this point, Bai Fang felt that his fighting power, which was envied by the gangsters, was of no use at all.
"Then...you two be careful here, I'll be back soon." She stared at Yu Yao reluctantly, feeling quite uneasy about leaving her here.
"Okay! I'll be careful." Yu Yao reached out and hugged Bai Fang soothingly.
