Hou Wenjie continued listening to Ye Feng recount the whole story.
"The three policemen quickly met up. After learning that Tu Cuiyun was going to Yangshan Village, they followed her from a distance while sending a message to the Bureau of Strange Events to report their discovery."
They followed her all the way to Yangshan Village, and then watched her turn onto a path in the fields in front of the village.
Because the field was too open, the three policemen could only follow from a distance, pretending to chat.
But soon they realized something was wrong, because they suddenly discovered that Tu Cuiyun, who was walking in the distance, had disappeared, as if she had vanished into thin air.
The three police officers knew that this was very unusual and had exceeded their capabilities.
They reported the situation, and soon, a ghost-sealing official from the Bureau of Ghostly Affairs arrived.
His codename is "The Corpse Burner." He can clearly sense the heartbeats of all the living people around him, but he found nothing at the place where Tu Cuiyun disappeared.
He walked further away and saw many graves, all of which were the tombs of the village's ancestors.
Apart from that, nothing unusual was found.
The cremator stayed in Luomen Village for a day but found nothing unusual.
He then asked the elderly villagers what legends Luomen Village had.
A villager recounted a story from the past: "About seventy or eighty years ago, Luomen Village wasn't called Luomen Village; it was called Luomen Temple. The reason it was called Luomen Temple was because there used to be a large temple in this village, which enshrined many Bodhisattvas and Buddhas."
Later, due to war, the army built it into a defensive fortress. Then, planes and artillery bombarded it, and the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas in the temple were shattered into pieces; the temple was gone.
Then came the new era! Who cared about gods and Buddhas anymore? So the name was changed to Luomen Village.
The old villager pointed in the direction of the temple ruins. The cremator realized something was wrong; the direction the old villager was pointing to was exactly where Tu Cuiyun had disappeared.
The cremator returned to the temple ruins but still found nothing. The matter was thus left unresolved.
Until this year, another strange event occurred in Luomen Village, with four elderly people in the village mysteriously disappearing.
This case, which once concerned Luomen Village, has also been re-filed.
"What did you find out?" Hou Wenjie asked.
Ye Feng said seriously, "There really is a temple on that site!"
But the temple was peculiar; it only appeared in reality at 11 p.m. and then disappeared before 1 a.m. There were four people in the temple, one dressed as a temple keeper and three dressed as Taoist priests.
They were the four elderly people who disappeared from the village.
The deity enshrined on the altar in that temple wasn't a deity or Buddha, but rather a statue of your aunt, Tu Cuiyun!
"This..." Upon hearing this, Hou Wenjie was shocked and fell into even deeper confusion.
My aunt Tu Cuiyun's behavior was very abnormal. The reports from the three policemen indicated that when she ate at that noodle shop, she was no longer insane and had become a normal person.
Now that she has returned to normal and become a Feng Guiren (a type of spirit medium), why did she suddenly leave home without saying goodbye and come to a small mountain village in a neighboring city?
Why did he place himself on a divine status after disappearing for twelve years?
Thinking of this, Hou Wenjie merged with the original owner's emotions in the stream of memories, and it seemed as if his grandmother, who once loved him deeply but had passed away in a daze, appeared before his eyes again.
He could deeply sense the original owner's lingering resentment.
My mother's suicide attempt by overdosing on pills, my aunt's disappearance, my grandmother's Alzheimer's disease, and my father's car accident a few years ago.
Such tragedies are already deeply painful, not to mention that in each of those tragedies, the original owner always seemed to see all sorts of distorted shadows.
This feeling of being burdened by a curse is enough to break a person.
Hou Wenjie calmed his emotions and asked:
"Are the four old people in the temple still alive?"
Ye Feng thought for a moment and said, "They have normal breathing and heartbeats."
Their complexions were rosy, and they even seemed more energetic than the average person. They also remembered their own names and their families.
They claimed to be believers in God, saying that sincere prayer to God would bring peace of mind.
"Did they say what god they worship, or why they were in that temple?" Hou Wenjie asked.
Ye Feng shook his head: "They said they didn't know. God didn't tell them His name, but as long as they sincerely pray in front of His image, they will find peace of mind."
As for their coming to that temple, it was simply because they were inspired by a divine intervention.
Hou Wenjie asked, "What are your plans for the investigation next?"
Ye Feng said, "I'm going to go and see. I plan to spend the night in the temple and see where they went during the day! Maybe I can run into Tu Cuiyun alive."
"Thank you for your help!" Hou Wenjie said.
Ye Feng laughed and said, "I'm just doing this for money, what trouble could there be? Don't worry, you'll receive the news soon."
One possibility is that I've gone missing; the other is that I've returned safely.
First, my colleague will message you. Second, I will talk to you in detail about my experience.
After leaving Banana Media Company, Ye Feng walked for a while and got into a white car.
There were two other people in the car.
The fat man in the passenger seat chuckled and said, "Captain, what do you think? Is there anything wrong with this newly rich guy?"
Ye Feng shook his head:
There was not a trace of coldness about him.
Furthermore, I used my strange abilities to test him. If he were truly a hidden, sealed-away ghost, then the ghostly aura emanating from him would have reacted accordingly. However, at that time, there was no ghostly aura emanating from the air.
The bespectacled man in the back seat looked surprised and said, "This person's experience is quite legendary. He was present when his aunt was possessed by a strange entity, but he was unharmed."
And, Captain, take a look at this!
As he spoke, Glasses turned the laptop screen toward Ye Feng:
"Captain, look, this is the Xiashan Town forum. There's a post here about celebrity gossip."
Ye Feng picked up his laptop and started reading the post, while the fat man next to him leaned closer.
It's fair to say that Hou Wenjie is now the richest man in our Xiashan Town.
His Banana Media Group is now expanding rapidly, building factories, logistics parks, internet celebrity parks, and agricultural e-commerce bases in our town.
Once the industry develops, the economy around Xiashan Town will take off, and we might all become landlords!
As a native of Xiashan, I am very proud of Hou Wenjie and I admire him greatly.
I'm not jealous at all that Hou Wenjie can make money. He didn't rely on his parents or women, and his rise to wealth is quite simple.
He didn't start from a high point. He grew up with his father and his academic performance wasn't outstanding. Later, he learned to operate an excavator.
Then, he drove an excavator on the construction site for several years.
Until this year, when he was digging soil at a construction site, he unearthed a large python.
The python was said to have been very ferocious when it was dug out, and it came at the people.
When the man surnamed Wang, who was digging the soil with him, saw this, he used the excavator's shovel to kill the snake.
Normally, this wouldn't be a big deal, but that Mr. Wang suddenly passed away that afternoon, suffering cardiac arrest and dying with his eyes wide open. How should I put it, this whole thing is a bit eerie, definitely unlucky.
It was around this time that Hou Wenjie sold the excavator and used the money to start Banana Media.
No one believed in his ability to succeed in this venture.
Then, he successively discovered Zhan Chengwen, Doll Sister, Zhou Xingxing, and Hua Disheng.
The rest, as everyone knows, is history.
After reading the entire post, Ye Feng said, "It is indeed a bit strange! The death of this Master Wang is indeed suspicious. Lei, what do you think?"
A Lei took back the laptop and said, "In the latest research report from the Academy of Strange Things, there is a hypothesis proposed by Dr. Yang Ning. He said that the Strange Things may be a kind of alienated spiritual entity."
So, could it be that after the python was killed, it quickly mutated into a monster and killed Master Wang?
If so, Xia Shan Town may very well harbor a Class D anomaly.
Ye Feng shook his head: "There has never been such a case before. No one has ever seen a creature quickly turn into something bizarre after death."
If that's the case, then murderers and terrorists in this world wouldn't need the law to judge them; the innocent souls who died at their hands would be enough to kill them a thousand times over.
