Chapter 107 Jinjiang Debut
Zheng Jun paid for the pulse diagnosis and left with heavy and sad steps. Looking at his back, Lame Brother sighed: "Alas, I didn't expect the first case today to be so sad. It's a pity for the father and son. They were almost reunited. It's fate. Sun Shaohua really deserves to be cut into pieces!"
He turned around and asked Bai Mian: "Will Sun Shaohua receive the punishment he deserves?"
Bai Mian nodded: "Of course, there is a huge amount of evidence stored on his computer at home. With this evidence, even if a god came, he would not be able to get rid of the crime. He will definitely be sentenced."
"That's good," Lame Brother sighed, "It's a pity that those lost lives cannot be brought back. If there is reincarnation, I hope they can be reborn into a good family and live a healthy life without having to endure the pain of illness."
As the two were talking, the second client couldn't wait to sit down at the table. He was a male college student. He was holding a schoolbag in his arms and looking at Bai Mian anxiously, looking very scared.
Bai Mian poured him a cup of tea and comforted him, "Don't be afraid. Drink some tea and tell me slowly. What happened?"
The male college student took a few deep breaths, raised his head and said to Bai Mian: "Master, I have seen a ghost."
Bai Mian nodded, her heart was calm. After all, it was not the first time she had dealt with such a thing. She said calmly, "How did it happen?"
The male college student showed an embarrassed expression: "It was me...I brought it upon myself."
As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, pointing at the boy and talking about him.
"Is this guy stupid? If you actively invite ghosts, who else will the ghosts go to if not you?"
"Young people nowadays are so bold and have no sense of awe at all. Auntie, let me tell you, there are some metaphysical things that you cannot offend!"
"Isn't this courting death when you're just giving up your good life?"
Facing the accusations from everyone, the boy loudly retorted: "What do you know? I had my reasons! At that time, I went to play an escape room with a few friends, and we had no choice but to do the Yin-summoning ritual!"
Bai Mian frowned: "Why do you say you had no choice? Did anyone force you at that time?"
The boy's face turned red. "That... that's not the case. We did it voluntarily. It's hard to explain. Let me tell you from the beginning. Master, my name is Shen Suifeng. I'm a sophomore. I'm not very studious. I often skip classes and go out to play with my classmates. After all, we're young. If we don't play now, when can we play?"
"I know a lot of classmates. Almost half of the school are my friends. We often go traveling, camping, playing script-killing games and escape rooms together. This incident happened when I was playing the escape room. There were four of us that day. We went to a newly opened escape room store. The owner recommended a horror-themed escape room to us, which was exactly what I wanted, because I went there not only to have fun, but also to chase the girl I like. Just think about it, in the atmosphere of horror, if the NPC scares her, she will jump into my arms, and this thing will be done, right?"
"With this in mind, I chose the secret room recommended by the boss. At that time, I didn't know what a stupid decision it was. After entering, my eyes were always on Xiaoya. Oh, I forgot to mention that the girl I like is called Xiaoya. We talked and laughed along the way and solved many difficulties. After all, I am already an old player, so these are a piece of cake for me."
"The two wingmen I brought with me were also trying to bring us together. On the way, we met a few NPCs dressed as ghosts, but they were not very scary. Xiaoya had a lot of fun. I thought the atmosphere was good, so I planned to confess my feelings on the spot. At this time, we entered the last secret room."
"The last secret room was very strange. It was decorated like a funeral hall. I don't know if it was because the air-conditioning was turned on too high, but I felt cold all over as soon as I entered. There was a table in the middle of the room, and on the table was an urn. There was also a piece of paper next to the urn."
As Shen Suifeng spoke, he opened his schoolbag and took out a piece of paper. It turned out that he had brought the paper from the secret room out. Bai Mian took it and saw that it read:
The door has been locked. To get the key, you must complete the Yin-summoning ritual as required: the first step is to open the urn and drink the ashes inside to let the soul of the deceased enter your body; the second step is to prick your finger and write your name on the ground with blood; the third step is to turn off the lights, hold hands, and swear in unison in the dark - I am XXX, I am willing to offer my body for your use, please come into my body...
There was a long list of oaths behind it. When the people around came over to take a look, their hair stood on end. Several ladies said:
"Oh my god, is this a game? Why does it look so real?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk. If it were me, I would run away after seeing this oath. These kids are really honest. Why are they actually reciting it?"
"That's right, eating ashes, eh - disgusting!"
Chen Suifeng explained helplessly: "I've already said that I went there to confess my feelings. I didn't want to spoil Xiaoya's fun! I understand what you said. I'm not a fool. If Xiaoya wasn't there, I would have walked away right away. But Xiaoya was right next to me at the time. If I didn't dare to do it, I would have seemed too cowardly. In order to prevent Xiaoya from looking down on me, I went to complete the ceremony."
Bai Mian ignored his explanation and asked directly: "What happened next?"
Shen Suifeng recalled and said, "I was very hesitant at the time. I called my boss for help. My boss assured me that this ritual was made up by them and we shouldn't take it seriously. If we don't dare to try it, we can choose to end the game now, but then we won't get the clearance gift."
"I couldn't give up in front of Xiaoya. In order to save my face, I called on everyone to hold a Yin-summoning ceremony. Xiaoya agreed. The other two brothers were originally here to be my wingmen, so of course they listened to me."
"So, I started the ceremony in fear. First, I picked up a disposable paper cup and distributed one to each person. Then I poured some mineral water, which was provided by the store. Then I bravely opened the urn and looked at the ashes inside. There was some gray-black powder inside, which looked very much like real ashes. At this time, I was worried, so I called the store again. The store owner repeatedly assured me that this was a prop made by them."
"I picked up the ashes and sprinkled some into everyone's cup. Then we raised our cups and drank it all. Of course, I didn't dare to taste it. After drinking the ashes, we took the needle on the table and pricked our fingers, squeezed out the blood and wrote our names. Finally, we read the oath. We read it the same as on the paper. There is nothing to say about it."
"However, I took this opportunity to hold Xiaoya's hand. Her hands are so soft and small, and she has a nice fragrance, hehe."
At this point, Shen Suifeng laughed, as if he saw the scene at that time again.
Bai Mian coughed lightly: "Ahem, let's get to the point."
Shen Suifeng became serious and continued, "After we finished reciting the oath, the lights in the room came on and a key fell from the ceiling. It should be controlled by a mechanism. Anyway, we passed the level."
"After we cleared the customs, we returned to the front desk. Because I was the first person to clear the customs today, I received a special gift - ninety-nine roses. I confessed my love to Xiaoya with the flowers on the spot, but the result was..."
Shen Suifeng paused for a moment and said awkwardly: “In the end, she actually rejected me. It’s so strange. I thought she liked me too!”
Bai Mian went straight to the point: "What do you mean by encountering a ghost?"
Shen Suifeng then got back to the topic: "Oh, yes, after the confession that day, we dispersed awkwardly. I thought it was over, but I didn't expect it was just the beginning. Since that day, a series of strange things have happened around me, which made me realize——"
Shen Suifeng and Bai Mian moved closer and whispered, "The Yin-summoning ritual we performed that day might have really summoned a ghost..."
