"What's even stranger is that within seven days of their death, the souls of these three people had already disappeared, which is very similar to Yan Bing's situation."
Qiao Ruoxi said these words to Taoist Wuya.
Taoist Wu Ya touched his chin and asked, "Could it be that the person who took away their souls is the same person who took away Yan Bing's soul?"
"It may not be the same person, but there must be some connection between them." Qiao Ruoxi responded.
Zhuo Yanting looked at Qiao Ruoxi, then at Taoist Wuya, and finally couldn't help asking, "What are you guys talking about?"
Taoist Wu Ya coughed lightly and said, "The end of science is metaphysics. Comrade police officer, there are some things you'd better not know."
Zhuo Yanting: ...
Then don't say it to his face!
He was originally very curious, and because of his professional habits, he couldn't stand the fact that there were secrets that he didn't know, so he gritted his teeth and said, "No, you must explain it to me clearly today, otherwise..."
Taoist Wuya blinked and whispered in Qiao Ruoxi's ear, "Is he going to threaten us with feudalism and charge us exorbitant fees?"
Qiao Ruoxi raised her eyebrows but said nothing.
Zhuo Yanting spoke with great difficulty: "Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep!"
Taoist Wu Ya:?
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
"Do you really want to know?" Qiao Ruoxi asked.
Zhuo Yanting nodded vigorously, his face filled with the curiosity of a newborn calf that is not afraid of a tiger.
Qiao Ruoxi moved her fingertips slightly, and a talisman appeared out of thin air and landed on Zhuo Yanting.
"Open your eyes and take a look." Qiao Ruoxi said and winked at Pei Yaori.
He was familiar with this part. Pei Yaori adjusted his suit and tie, then stood in front of the young policeman with a smile.
As soon as Zhuo Yanting opened his eyes, he met Pei Yaori's gaze.
"Who are you and when did you come in?"
Pei Yaori laughed and said, "Don't blink. I'll perform a magic trick for you."
After saying that, he opened his mouth, which became wider and wider until it was bigger than his face. He stuck out his long tongue and performed a 360-degree face-licking performance.
Zhuo Yanting screamed and fell to the ground: "Ghost!"
Pei Yaori was very satisfied with this reaction. He put his hands on his hips and chuckled: "Oh, yes, I am a ghost!"
Qiao Ruoxi: ...
"Okay, put away your magical powers." Qiao Ruoxi rubbed his forehead.
It wasn't until he drank the hot sugar water that Taoist Wuya poured for him that Zhuo Yanting gradually came back to his senses. He muttered to himself, "This, this must be an illusion, right?"
Pei Yaori was still unsatisfied: "Is my performance not realistic enough? How about I show you some other techniques?"
Zhuo Yanting immediately covered his head and said, "No, no, no."
Qiao Ruoxi moved her fingertips slightly, and the talisman covering Zhuo Yanting disappeared.
Seeing Pei Yaori's figure disappear before his eyes, Zhuo Yanting became anxious instead.
"What about the uncle? Why is he gone again?"
*
Ningyuan Town is now in a state of panic. Once the moon comes out, no one dares to go out even if the sun has not set yet.
The setting sun and the moon shone together, and on the empty stone road, only a human figure was swaying.
Ning Sheng staggered, holding an unfinished bottle of wine in his hand, and cursed as he drank: "A bunch of idiots, open your eyes and see clearly, there is no ghost at all, I am not alive and well!"
The mayor listened to the noise outside and shook his head: "I'm afraid Ning Sheng won't see the sun tomorrow."
I don't know how long I walked before the bottle of wine was empty.
Ning Sheng angrily threw the bottle to the ground, smashing it to pieces. When he looked up again, he saw lush green trees all around him.
He rubbed his eyes hard and finally figured out the direction. He actually walked into Ningyuan Mountain, and in front of him was the Baby Cave.
Ning Sheng sneered, "If ghosts really existed in this world, the wronged spirits in this cave would have come out to seek revenge long ago. Everyone in Ningyuan Town would have died!"
As he said that, he walked into the baby cave.
There is a tradition passed down from ancestors in Ningyuan Town that one should not go to the Baby Cave after noon, so all babies who died in Ningyuan Town will be sent to the Baby Cave before noon.
Courageous as he was with wine, Ning Sheng didn't care about these things anymore. He wanted to prove to everyone that there were no ghosts in this world, and it was even more impossible for Pei Yaolin to turn into a ghost and harm him.
Someone was jealous of Ning Sheng's good life and wanted to harm him. If he knew who this person was, he would definitely tear him into pieces!
"Such a strong resentment, Master will definitely like it!" A shrill laugh came from the darkness.
Ning Sheng shuddered and looked around: "Who, who is playing tricks? Come out here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Sheng's eardrums were filled with the crying and screaming of a baby.
"Dad, help me, it hurts so much, my whole body hurts!"
When Ning Sheng lowered his head, he saw a little baby girl curled up at his feet. Her body was covered with silver needles and she was looking at him with a pair of red and swollen eyes from crying.
"Er, Erniu?" Looking at the big eyes that were exactly the same as Pei Yaolin's, he recognized the little baby in front of him.
He immediately shook his head and denied it: "No, you are not Erniu. Erniu was only a hundred days old when she died. She couldn't speak at all. Who are you!"
No matter how Ning Sheng kicked, the baby clung to his legs like an octopus and climbed up little by little.
Just like a child playing with his father, it would have been a very heartwarming picture if the baby wasn't covered in needles and bleeding.
Ning Sheng recalled that night more than ten years ago.
His mother quietly pulled him into the yard and told him about the witchcraft of killing girls to get boys.
He and his mother discussed it and gave Pei Yaolin and Ning Yimeng sleeping pills. At night, they took Erniu out of Pei Yaolin's room.
Looking at Erniu with her round eyes wide open and her giggling at him, Ning Sheng hesitated for a moment.
But the mother said that if this child did not die, the next one would definitely be a girl. Ning Sheng immediately made up his mind and agreed.
At first, it was Old Lady Ning who was giving her acupuncture. Erniu tried to bear it at first, but eventually she couldn't bear it anymore and started to cry loudly. She stretched out her little arms, which were as thin as lotus roots, and asked Ning Sheng for help.
Old Lady Ning handed a needle to Ning Sheng, her eyes fierce: "You are his biological father, it will be more effective if you do it. You should say as you do it, 'The girl dies and the son lives.' Quick!"
Ning Sheng took the needle, hesitated for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and inserted the needle: "The girl dies and my son lives."
Erniu seemed stunned and stopped crying for a moment.
The first time is new, the second time is familiar, Ning Sheng was completely determined and inserted all the hundred needles into Erniu's body.
The cries that night echoed throughout Ningyuan Town.
Old Mrs. Ning was overjoyed and kowtowed several times to the Buddha statue in the room: "God bless you! The louder you cry, the better the effect! The next baby will definitely be a unicorn!"
