Chapter 169 Going to Prison
The days of lying at home and getting moldy always pass quickly. Half of the National Day holiday has passed. Chu Runrun is at home with Han Lixue watering flowers and growing grass. The days are much more leisurely and peaceful.
That afternoon, Han Liming and Zhuo Chi came home.
Chu Ruanruan hurried over: "Uncle, Uncle Zhuo, why are you here?"
"We have checked what you told us last time. There are indeed ghosts in the prison." Zhuo Chi said.
"The ghost wants to absorb yang energy. There are so many prisoners in the prison, why did he choose Zhang Zicong?" Chu Runrun asked.
"Maybe it's because we have similar tastes!"
Han Liming handed a piece of information to Chu Ruanruan.
Chu Ruanruan opened the file bag, which contained the information of a prisoner named Li He.
Li He, male, 32 years old, dropped out of school after graduating from high school and went to work in an electronics factory. Later, he became resentful of his girlfriend because she despised his poverty and wanted to break up with him.
After killing his girlfriend, he took revenge on society by killing several young girls. He was arrested and imprisoned three years ago.
In prison, prisoners like Li He were the lowest class. Within a month, Li He committed suicide in prison because he could not bear the humiliation.
The cell where he died is the one where Zhang Zicong is staying now.
"That ghost is called Li He!" Chu Runrun frowned.
"That should be it! After we found some clues, we sent someone to pretend to be a criminal and locked him up next to Zhang Zicong.
Our people pretended that he was the same person as Zhang Zicong and complained a few words, and Zhang Zicong told us everything.
Last night, he saw Li He in person. Li He told him that as long as he gave him the yang energy, he could help him get revenge.
Our people pretended to be scared, saying they needed to think it over, and then they spread the news that night."
Chu Ruanruan narrowed her eyes slightly and said coldly:
"After being dead for so long, his soul is still in prison. Even the ghost soldiers didn't find it. This Li He is really capable!"
"Uncle, can I go to the prison to take a look?" Chu Runrun asked.
"The prison is a confidential unit, you probably can't get in!" Han Liming said.
Zhuo Chi smiled and said, "Not necessarily! If Ruanruan is willing to join us, she can join as a consultant to the Abnormal Case Investigation Team!"
Chu Ruanruan's eyes lit up: "The certificate you gave me last time is still there!"
"Take it and let's go!" Zhuo Chi said with a smile.
Han Liming looked at Zhuo Chi helplessly: "You really want Ruanruan to join you!"
"It's not my idea, it's the people above me who want to do this. With all her ghost-catching skills, it would be a waste of her talent if she didn't come to us."
But it’s not easy in our line of work, and if she doesn’t want to, I won’t let anyone force her.”
As Zhuo Chi was speaking, Chu Runrun came out with her ID.
Han Liming and Zhuo Chi brought Chu Runrun to the prison. After showing their ID cards, the wardens' eyes changed when they looked at Chu Runrun.
It was really hard for them to imagine that such a delicate little girl could be a consultant for the abnormal case investigation team.
But they wisely didn't say much, after all, there is a kind of people in this world called child prodigies.
After arriving at Zhang Zicong's cell, Chu Runrun felt the same yin energy as Bao Mengxue.
However, Li He was not in the cell at this time, and Zhang Zicong looked even more depressed than the previous two days.
Since Dahei is not in prison, Chu Runrun can only use paper men to track Li He's whereabouts, but the paper men's search range is limited. If Li He is not in prison, the paper men will not be able to find him.
The paper man walked around and shook his head at Chu Ruanruan.
Chu Ruanruan was deflated: "Sure enough! Li He is not here!"
Suddenly, the paper man flew out as if he had found something.
Chu Ruanruan immediately chased after him.
The paper man flew all the way to the end of the prison and stopped on the wall.
Seeing Chu Ruanruan following over, the paper man jumped into her hand and pointed at a strange pattern on the wall.
Chu Ruanruan walked over and looked at the familiar patterns on the wall and couldn't help but murmured, "Soul Purification Formation!"
"Ruanruan, what's wrong?" Zhuo Chi and Han Liming caught up and asked.
"Where did this pattern on the wall come from?" Chu Runrun asked.
Zhuo Chi looked at the warden, who squinted his eyes, glanced at the pattern, and said with a smile:
"This, I heard that it was left by a strange monk many years ago.
This prison has been renovated and there was a cell here before the renovation.
There was once an old monk who stole things imprisoned in the cell. He was detained here for two days and was transferred to three cells.
The warden at the time was a Buddhist, so he changed it for him as he requested. As a result, when he got out, there was this thing on the wall.
Later, when the prison was being renovated and the walls were being painted, the workers could not get up to the walls no matter whether they were painting or tiling. The paint would fall off as soon as it was applied, and the tiles would also fall off as soon as they were applied.
Finally, the workers were at their wit's end and wanted to remove the pattern, but before they even put their hands up, the wall started to crumble.
After that, no one dared to touch the pattern on it anymore.”
Chu Ruanruan chuckled: "Fortunately you didn't move, otherwise this prison would have collapsed!"
"Young counselor, what do you mean?" asked the warden.
"That monk is a highly accomplished monk. He set up this soul-purifying formation to expel the resentment in the prison and prevent evil spirits from breeding and harming people." Chu Ruanruan said.
"Since there is a Soul Purification Formation, what about Li He?" Han Liming asked puzzledly.
"Li He was a wicked man when he was alive. He killed so many people and was tainted with their resentment. His evil spirit must be heavier than that of an ordinary ghost after his death. The soul-purifying formation set up by this monk is very powerful.
For evil spirits like Li He, whose suppression effect is limited, it will automatically form a contractual relationship with Li He, preventing him from leaving the prison.
Therefore, if Li He wants to leave this prison, he has to absorb the yang energy of living people to strengthen his own strength to fight against the restraint of the Soul Purification Formation.
But because of the Soul Purification Formation, Li He couldn't do anything if the person was unwilling.
"And relying solely on Zhang Zicong's yang energy, Li He wouldn't have been able to completely escape prison. This is also the main reason why Bao Mengxue saved her life," Chu Ruanruan said.
"Since Li He is not here now, does that mean that he has borrowed Zhang Zicong's yang energy to go out and look for Bao Mengxue again?" Zhuo Chi frowned.
"No matter who he goes to find, we'll just wait here. I want to see if this Li He can stay away from coming back!" Chu Runrun said coldly.
Bao Mengxue has the talisman paper. Given Li He's soul and body condition, he won't be able to stay outside if he gets hurt once.
It's daytime now, Li He shouldn't be stupid enough to harm others in the daytime!
Chu Runrun sat in the chair and thought about this, and gradually fell into deep thought.
When it was dark, Chu Runrun suddenly stood up and ran towards Zhang Zicong's cell.
Zhuo Chi and Han Liming were also frightened by Chu Runrun's behavior and hurriedly chased after her.
"Ruanruan, how..."
Before Zhuo Chi and Han Liming could ask what happened, they saw Zhang Zicong dead in the cell.
Chu Runrun slapped her head suddenly, why didn’t she think of it!
