Coming to the Living Coffin Village again, Chen Ge was a little excited. The last time he came, he only took away a small number of evil spirits, and most of them escaped.
The Living Coffin Village is different from other scenes. Most of the ghosts here are related to mountain legends and are very unique.
"My completion rate of the Living Coffin Village Trial Mission was very low. I only went in and took a look at the door and then came out. I didn't explore it in depth. Maybe the secret of the female ghost who jumped into the well is hidden inside the door."
The ghost of the woman who jumped into the well has existed for a very long time. She is very mysterious and knows many secrets. It seems that she has entered the depths of the bloody city through the blood gate.
The night wind blew, but Chen Ge did not feel eerie, he just felt very cool.
Under the guidance of Sister Jiang Ling, Chen Ge once again entered the Living Coffin Village.
He dragged a skull-crushing hammer and held a comic book in his hand, and went door to door to check, just like the staff in charge of the census in the community.
In the Living Coffin Village, there is a coffin parked in the main hall of every household to worship their ancestors. There is nothing wrong with this in itself. However, due to the existence of the female ghost who jumped into the well, these customs have been distorted. Coupled with the continuous influence of the "door", this special scene of the Living Coffin Village eventually emerged.
People living in big cities would never imagine that there is such a "paradise" hidden in the mountains and wilderness.
"So much time has passed, and there has been no change in Living Coffin Village."
Chen Ge was filled with emotion when he revisited the old place. He felt quite satisfied when he saw the comic book filled with his harvest.
Scanning from the village entrance to the center, the white paper lanterns on the gate of the old house swayed uneasily, and more and more figures began to appear in the small square in the center of the village.
The villagers living here gathered together spontaneously. They didn't seem to be welcoming Chen Ge, and they all had gloomy faces.
History is surprisingly similar. A similar thing happened when Chen Ge first entered the Living Coffin Village, but it was not him and the villagers who were confronting each other in the square.
"Some of them look familiar." Chen Ge and Jiang Ling's sister took a step forward: "Don't be so angry. There is no deep hatred between us. Last time I came here, you guys kept chasing me."
When Chen Ge was speaking, people in red clothes were guarding him.
The villagers have become much more well-behaved and appear to be people of simple and honest character.
The door of the house on the other side of the village was opened, and a woman wearing various accessories walked out. Her surname was Zhu, and she was one of the most trusted people of the female ghost who jumped into the well. She usually managed the village.
"Hello, we meet again." Chen Ge and his employees looked at the woman surnamed Zhu, who looked embarrassed but finally forced a smile.
"Chen Ge, what are you doing here in the middle of the night?" the woman surnamed Zhu said stiffly.
"Jiang Ling is fine, don't worry." Chen Ge chatted with Jiang Ling for a while, and then slowly told his real purpose: "Actually, I came here today to discuss something with the red-clothed man in your village. Don't worry, it's just to discuss some things."
It was a dark and windy night, and the villagers huddled together. The woman surnamed Zhu frowned. People who didn't know the inside story might have thought that this was an unscrupulous developer who wanted to demolish the ancestral home and occupy the land.
"She has never come out of that door since her last appearance, and the ghost baby has been taken away." The woman surnamed Zhu looked at the red-dressed woman behind Chen Ge, hesitated for a moment, and finally told the truth.
There are two ghosts in red in the Living Coffin Village. The strength of the female ghost who jumped into the well is unfathomable, but she was seriously injured because she wanted to reincarnate as a human. As for the ghost baby, its strength is very average, only slightly stronger than Men Nan.
"It seems that she may have encountered trouble behind the door." Chen Ge thought for a while: "There is no other way. It is almost midnight. She can't come out. Then we can only go behind the door to find her."
If he hadn't been busy all this time, Chen Ge would have wanted to go into the door of the Living Coffin Village and take a look.
"Isn't this a bit bad?" For the villagers of Living Coffin Village, the female ghost who jumped into the well is the god of the village. They often hold sacrificial activities just like the ancients worshipped the river god, and that door is equivalent to the place where the "god" lives.
"There's nothing wrong with it. If we make some things clear, there will be no misunderstandings in the future." Chen Ge remembered the location of the door. He has always had a very good memory.
After obtaining the consent of the woman surnamed Zhu, Chen Ge carried his backpack and went with his employees to the former home of the female ghost who jumped into the well and found the door.
When it was midnight, he pushed the door open with the help of several people in red.
A thick blood mist enveloped his entire body, and Chen Ge's pupils slowly shrank. He soon realized that something was wrong.
"How is that possible?"
The living coffin village behind the door was almost razed to the ground!
There were horrible scratches everywhere, as well as countless traces of chains!
"The living coffin village behind the door is destroyed?"
Chen Ge could hardly believe his eyes. He asked the red-clothed employees to stay by his side and be on high alert.
"Blood and curses permeate the ground. Just standing here makes people feel deeply uneasy." Chen Ge looked carefully for a long time, his eyes moving over the chains, the remaining curses and blood. "Did Doctor Gao do it? I saw him once in Liwan Town. At that time, he was holding his wife's head, and his body was wrapped in black iron chains."
Doctor Gao was already a top red-clothed man in Liwan Town. He and Zhang Ya shared Shadow's heart. Now he might have become a fierce god like Zhang Ya.
"The Ghost Story Association did come to the Living Coffin Village before, but they returned empty-handed because of my interference..."
The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more he felt that the murderer was Doctor Gao, but he didn't understand why Doctor Gao, who was already a top red doctor, would come to the Living Coffin Village.
"Could it be that the ghost of the woman who jumped into the well really has mastered the method of resurrecting the dead? Dr. Gao wanted to resurrect his wife, whether she was alive or dead. This was his greatest obsession, and he might do anything for this obsession."
Human nature is complex, but sometimes it is also simple. Dr. Gao is the best example.
He is Hanjiang's best psychologist, but also Hanjiang's most terrifying madman.
Standing on the ruins, Chen Ge's expression was uncertain: "When I was doing the mission in the Living Coffin Village, I met people from the Ghost Story Association. One of them was Wu Fei, and the other should be Doctor Gao who was carrying his wife's body. Doctor Gao was fighting outside at the time, and Wu Fei entered the door. This arrangement seemed to have no problem and was very logical..."
If the suspect was not Dr. Gao, Chen Ge would not bother to think about it.
"Could Doctor Gao have anticipated his fate? Did he start preparing to become a Red Dressed Man long ago? After Wu Fei was brought into the gate of the Living Coffin Village by the well-throwing ghost, he became the breakthrough point for the well-throwing ghost to understand the Ghost Story Association, but he also became the coordinates for Doctor Gao to determine the location behind the gate of the Living Coffin Village." The more Chen Ge thought about it, the more scared he became: "Yes! Before Doctor Gao committed suicide, he set up a trap to run into the door of my haunted house and engraved the evil ghost pattern on the door. This can also be considered a coordinate he left behind!"
"The plan was started from the living and carried out after death. Is this a plan that spans life and death and surrounds the entire city?"
Chen Ge got goose bumps on his neck: "What exactly does Dr. Gao want to do? How many secrets does he know?"
Chen Ge was a little nervous about this former president of the Ghost Story Association.
If it were someone else, Chen Ge might have thought of catching the other person and using various means to force him to tell the truth.
But this method doesn't work on Dr. Gao. Even after knowing Dr. Gao's true identity, he doesn't dare to think deeply about Dr. Gao's words. The other party may be brainwashed without realizing it.
For someone like Dr. Gao, whose IQ is much higher than his, Chen Ge's strategy is to not listen, not look, and not think. If he can catch him, he will just let Zhang Ya swallow him.
"If Dr. Gao regains his sanity, the situation will become even more confusing."
Chen Ge knew that he was very close to the truth, but he had to be more cautious at this time: "All the secrets are intertwined, and everyone has their own obsessions. If someone wins, someone must lose."
Chen Ge searched the coffin village behind the door with his employees, but he did not find anything related to the female ghost and the ghost baby. The coffin village behind the door was about to be assimilated by the blood mist, as if the memory of this scene was slowly dissipating.
Fortunately, the door of the Living Coffin Village was about to break, and Chen Ge and his team could easily return the same way.
"The ghost girl who jumped into the well may have been to that blood-red city. Doctor Gao may have been there too. They must know something."
Before coming to the Living Coffin Village, no one expected something like this to happen. After searching fruitlessly, Chen Ge left the world behind the door with the help of many red-clothed people.
The woman surnamed Zhu was standing outside the door. In her opinion, Chen Ge only went in for a while and then came out: "Did you see her?"
Chen Ge naturally knew who the woman surnamed Zhu was talking about. He closed the door and made sure that the villagers outside could not hear him before speaking: "I have some unfortunate news to tell you. The Living Coffin Village behind the door has been razed to the ground. There are curses and bloodstains everywhere. I didn't find that woman."
"Didn't find it?" The woman surnamed Zhu's expression suddenly changed.
"Don't be nervous. She may have gone to other places, but you'd better not tell anyone about this." Chen Ge sighed: "If I can't find her, then I have some questions that I can only ask you."
"Ask me, I will tell you everything I know." After learning that the female ghost who jumped into the well was not inside the door, the woman surnamed Zhu's attitude became better.
"That female ghost had a miserable life and couldn't rest in peace after death, so she always wanted to reincarnate as a human. As the person who knows her best in the village, do you know what she did to reincarnate as a human?" Chen Ge himself was also very curious.
"I don't know the specific method, but I heard from my great-grandmother that as long as I prepare a coffin for her to bury her past and hold her new body, she will not make things difficult for me."
"A coffin for the past? A coffin for the new body?"
"Well, that coffin will bury all memories and misfortunes. After the coffin is buried, you will lose everything you had before, which means you will no longer be yourself from that moment on." The woman surnamed Zhu recalled what her grandmother had said: "The body that holds the newborn refers to the newborn. I don't know how to do it specifically, but I know that every ten years the village will choose a baby girl without defects and let her enter this room."
"Put the baby girl in the room with the 'door'? You left a baby alone with the red ghost?"
"She is as gentle as a mother in front of the baby, but in front of other people..." The woman surnamed Zhu glanced at the door inside the house and did not dare to continue.
"I roughly understand. For the female ghost who jumped into the well, reincarnation and resurrection require two conditions. First, the past must be completely buried, and second, there must be a suitable body." Chen Ge stood in the house. Everything that had happened in Liwan Town was finally connected together: "What I heard about in Dongjiao is that a soul is planted in the heart of another child. Those cases in Dongjiao should all be attempts by ghost fetuses."
For the ghost fetus, the new body it welcomes is one of the nine children it chooses.
The female ghost who jumped into the well can only choose in the Living Coffin Village, so she always fails, but the ghost fetus can choose from the entire Hanjiang, so he is very likely to succeed.
As for the coffin that buried the past, this hint reminded Chen Ge of an incident that happened in the eastern suburbs before.
When he was doing that and other related tasks at the Donggang Reservoir, he once discovered a floating coffin under the Donggang Reservoir.
There were countless puppets with names engraved on them inside the coffin, and the real body of the water ghost he was looking for was also inside the coffin. (See Chapter 1 for details)
What was even more terrifying was that there was a big hole under the coffin. No one knew where it led to, but Chen Ge remembered clearly that Xu Yin kept urging him to leave.
"Is the past of the dead fetus buried in that coffin?"
Chen Ge did not think that a coffin was enough to bury the evil spirit's past. He felt that the ghost fetus' past was most likely buried in the cave at the bottom of the river.
“This is crucial information!”
Chen Ge asked the woman surnamed Zhu some more questions, and then took Jiang Ling's sister away from the Living Coffin Village.
Excluding tonight, he only has one night left, so he wants to go to Donggang Reservoir as soon as possible to take a look.
After crossing mountains and rivers, it was already dawn when Chen Ge returned to Hanjiang.
He rushed to Donggang Reservoir without stopping. That place was very desolate and almost no taxis were willing to go there, so he was delayed for some time on the road.
It was not until after seven in the morning that Chen Ge finally arrived at his destination. When he got out of the taxi, he was almost exhausted.
The ghost fetus mission lasted for nine nights. During these nine days and nights, Chen Ge entered several doors in succession. This kind of exhaustion was not only physical, but more on the mental level.
Feeling the river breeze, Chen Ge walked towards the reservoir with his backpack.
The air in this place is particularly good. The only drawback is that it is very desolate and sparsely populated.
Chen Ge found the reservoir manager's room based on his memory. When he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly saw a mother with a child climbing over the guardrail on the dam of the reservoir.
The mother held her child's hand and looked at the deep water silently.
"What do they want to do?" Chen Ge was worried that they would do something impulsive, so he ran over quickly.
