I regretted changing out the old television in the living room.
Just like how every human had their own quirks, ghosts also had the right to have weird hobbies, and Anveena was no exception. This maid, who always stayed at home and cleaned, had three hobbies in her life. The first was to become a perfect maid, the second was to sing "Sin 'dorei Elegy" at midnight in the living room, and the third was to come out from all kinds of places, especially from the television screen. The new large LCD television in the living room was just a decoration to people who were used to using holographic terminals, but Anveena treated it as a new toy. A certain maid even came out from it more than ten times in one go yesterday, until she got stuck inside. This was terrible, especially when the sphinx appeared on the television. I couldn't believe that an Egyptian pharaoh could be so cute.
Early this morning, I first went to the research center to visit the "female ghost" that was undergoing various experiments. She, or more accurately, it, was in a stable condition. It was obvious that the ghost didn't possess any intelligence, and even its reflexes were a mess. The two Ravens had tried various methods to establish communication with the ghost, but all of them had failed. According to the two magical maidens, even if the ghost was an ant, it would still have some sort of reaction. However, the "ghost" still maintained a rhythm of sleeping and sleeping. All these facts proved that the ghost wasn't an evil spirit, nor was it a specter. In fact, it wasn't even the "elf" that Soul Dream had guessed. It was just a creature of energy, nothing more, with only two or three reflexes and the ability to move. It didn't have any consciousness, and it didn't come from anyone's resentment after death. Even the Ravens couldn't explain how this thing was formed.
"The subject of the experiment looks like a single-celled organism, a single-celled type of energy creature."
Raven 085 said.
Lin Xue also conducted a special spying on "Sadako," mainly to find out where the latter came from. The spying wasn't very successful. It seemed to have popped out of thin air, without a source, and was even more unscientific.
After confirming the authenticity of the supernatural incidents and listening to Lin Xue's suggestions, Sandora had sent out hundreds of experienced agents of the Empire to collect similar rumors of hauntings in the city, including recent urban legends and some classic haunted houses. We wanted to gather some information, and it would be best if we could pinpoint the general location of the person who caused all this. Of course, it would be even better if someone happened to be present when a supernatural incident happened. We would be able to obtain firsthand information. In order to increase the probability of such a situation, I even risked moral pressure and sent Cuchulin and Dimu to the new and old districts separately … I believed that after they joined the operation, the supernatural incidents would gather.
However, you have to admit that there are some things that can't be solved with just combat power. Just as the Missy said, even Great Sage Sun couldn't solve a quadratic binary equation. Right now, I could only hope that those guys who liked to shoot first and talk later would cause less trouble for themselves. It wouldn't be good if they had to deal with the supernatural incidents and then they had to deal with the violent disturbances.
While the soldiers were taking action, their commanding officers weren't idle either. From a certain standpoint, we were facing the supernatural firsthand more directly than they were.
The current time was 9: 30 in the morning, and we were still at the new headquarters of "Boundless Love" in the old district. Surprisingly, Shallow Shallow was still interested in continuing to play this game. Her passion for something had lasted for more than 72 hours, and this made me feel pessimistic about the entire world. There would be a request for help this morning, and it was a "business" that Lin Xue had introduced to us. There was still around ten minutes before the appointment time, and I was using this time to teach Mercury Lamp how to write the names of the rose girl's family. She intended to write a letter to her younger sisters soon, even though those noisy dolls had just come to play the day before yesterday.
"Tsk, Daisy is so troublesome. Her name is the hardest to write!" Mercury Lamp held a special fountain pen in her hand. There were still a few ink stains on her fingers. She impatiently poked at the exercise book with the tip of the pen and muttered, "My name is still easier to write."
Liliana watched from the side. She had lost interest in working at the front desk after forty-eight hours, and now she was the office mascot. Facing Mercury Lamp's gloominess, she couldn't forget to add insult to injury, "Tsk, that's because you're an idiot. It's so hard for you to even learn how to write. Dolls are just dolls, and their brains are hard."
Mercury Lamp immediately threw her pen to the ground and jumped on the sofa, shouting, "Idiot! Idiot! Old woman! Say that again! "
Liliana couldn't get into a fight with Mercury Lamp. "I'll say it, but you keep calling me an idiot. You're so arrogant! She's just a princess, and I'm still a virgin. You idiot doll who can't even write your name correctly! … "
As soon as Liliana's voice trailed off, Mercury Lamp turned into a shadow and pounced on Liliana. 92.3 meters and 1.09 meters were wrestling on the carpet as usual. At first, Mercury Lamp had the upper hand, but Liliana suddenly summoned a vine and tripped the careless doll girl. Then, she pounced on the latter and pinned Mercury Lamp down. Then, she took out a brass key from her pocket and twisted it in the keyhole on the doll girl's back.
How could Mercury Lamp tolerate such a failure? She let out a shrill cry and dug a hole in the carpet while waving her hands around …
"Bastard! Don't be so … so mean … Haha, it's so itchy … Bastard! Hurry up … Stop twisting! It's so itchy! Stupid human, don't just stand there and watch! "
Mercury Lamp's words reminded me, and I hurriedly threw Lina to the side, snatched the key, and twisted it myself.
We fought for more than ten minutes. Liliana collected a bag full of things from the crime scene and prepared to make a pillow. I got a head full of teeth marks. Mercury Lamp was still shivering. She looked at the key in my hand as if she was looking at an enemy. Then, she flew to another room in a huff. Less than a minute after the doll left, there was a knock on the door. The "business" I had booked for the day came.
The person who was led in was a slightly plump middle-aged man. He was wearing an ordinary suit and a pair of glasses. He was a little bald, and the remaining half of his hair at the back of his head was neatly trimmed. He had the shrewdness of a small company leader or a small businessman. He was also carrying a small suitcase, which seemed to contain something very precious.
After he was brought in, the middle-aged man nervously thanked the "company security guard" behind him. Then, he was surprised to see a big hole in the carpet that seemed to have been ravaged by a hundred cats. There were black feathers scattered everywhere in the room. A little loli who looked less than ten years old was collecting the items in her bag.
"Excuse me, is this the company that deals with supernatural incidents?"
The middle-aged man carefully placed the suitcase by the door and asked from a distance.
"Yeah, people in different industries have different names for us." I nodded and invited him to sit on the sofa. The man gently lifted his suitcase and wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead. He smiled and said, "I'm a little nervous. I'm just an ordinary person. I didn't expect to meet people like you … Err, don't misunderstand me. I'm talking about your powerful missions. Ah, little girl, you don't need to prepare tea … Oh, it's not for me. "
Liliana held her cup and rolled her eyes at the middle-aged man. Then, she sipped her tea and climbed onto the sofa to play her game. Who would expect this man to entertain guests?
The middle-aged man talked for a while and introduced himself. I had a feeling that he thought 'Boundless Love' was a modern Mao Mountain Daoist priest who subdued demons and devils. They were the computer fortune-tellers. Anyway, it wasn't a big deal. In our group, there was a person who could look people in the eyes and say, "This great immortal has observed the sky at night. I know you're going to face a bloody calamity. Give me the last mung bean pancake on the table to avoid the calamity." The only difference between her and the computer fortune-tellers was that her success rate was higher.
After we chatted for a while, the middle-aged man seemed to be more anxious to solve his problem. He rubbed his shiny forehead and said, "It's like this. Recently, I've been haunted by something that has turned into a spirit. Have you ever heard of a porcelain doll that can go home? "
I nodded. "Never heard of it."
"Err …" The man choked. Seeing that Shallow Shallow and I weren't joking, his expression became strange. However, since our place was much better decorated than the computer fortune-tellers, he decided to trust us a little more. He explained, "It's a kind of porcelain doll. It's an old-fashioned, hand-made, festive doll. If it's kept in the central room and someone cleans it often, it will have spiritual energy. The more attentive the owner is to the doll, the more Yang energy it will receive. In the end, the doll will become a part of the family and can't be chased away. If the owner is ungrateful and wants to throw the doll away, it will definitely come back. No matter how far you throw it away, it will return within seven days. If the owner accidentally breaks the doll, the whole family won't have peace. It's like offending a little demon … "
"You're pestered by a porcelain doll?"
I asked. My eyes subconsciously fell on the leather suitcase by my feet.
The middle-aged man nodded and opened the suitcase solemnly. He took out a pair of plump dolls that were very fashionable in the old days. They were a fair-skinned boy and a girl. Each of the dolls had a noose tied around their necks. The noose was made of yellow silk, and I could vaguely see the swastikas on the silk. There was a shiny silver cross hanging near the dolls' necks. One of the crosses had a Zero and the other had a QB nailed to it.
"It's this pair of dolls. Oh, the noose isn't it. I bought them under Er Li Bridge. I thought they were just decorations for fun. I didn't expect them to appear on the dolls' necks the next day. I didn't dare to take them off."
No, you don't need to explain. We already know what happened. The Empire's soldiers are really good at what they do.
"This pair of dolls was left behind by my mother. When I was young, they were placed in our old house. My mother loved these dolls very much. She always placed them in the central room and cleaned them every day. She also told the family that these dolls must not be thrown away and that they must be kept as family heirlooms. So after my mother passed away, I kept these dolls, and I lived in peace with them. Last month, when I moved, I brought the dolls with me. However, the new house is filled with Western-style furniture. My wife thought it was inappropriate to keep the dolls in the living room, so she put them in the corner of the study room … The next day, the dolls appeared on the shelf in the living room on their own! "
The middle-aged man smacked his lips, but he didn't look scared. It had been a month since then, and he had even calmed down from the first ghost sightings.
"My family was very strange, but they all said that they didn't put them there by themselves. My wife is timid, so she was a little scared. The next afternoon, she locked the dolls in the storeroom. This time, it was even scarier. In less than two hours, when we finished eating, the dolls had gone back!
We tried a few times, but the dolls always came back on their own. My wife was so scared that she fell sick. I knew that the dolls were psychic. The new house couldn't hold them, so I went outside and found some monks and Taoist priests. At night, my whole family took refuge downstairs. I asked the monks and Taoist priests to exorcise the ghosts. Later, two monks went crazy and three Taoist priests ran away. There was also a monk called Old Sixth Liu who took my TV before he left. I knew that I had to solve this problem myself. Otherwise, the things in my house wouldn't be enough for them to steal. However, I didn't dare to smash the dolls. I was afraid that the evil spirits would vent on me, so I drove the dolls to the garbage station outside the city. That place was dozens of kilometers away from my house. "
Before the middle-aged man finished speaking, I knew that the dolls had come back.
"The dolls came back, and they stayed in the living room with half an orange peel on their heads. This proved that they really came back from the garbage station, and they came back even earlier than I did!
I tried a few more times to bring the dolls further away, but they always came back on their own. In the end, I couldn't do it anymore, so I sold them to an old classmate in Yunnan for two thousand RMB. That bastard used to steal my eraser when he was in elementary school. Guess what happened? "
The middle-aged man kept us in suspense. Then, under my and Shallow Shallow's sharp gaze, he continued.
It turned out that in the middle of the night, his phone rang. On the other side of the phone, a child's voice said that the siblings were at the train station and that he should pick them up …
"At night, I took out the battery to charge it. There was no battery in my phone!" The middle-aged man spread his hands. "Then, I drove there, and they were really outside the train station. I had no choice but to personally pick them up. After that, I tried a few more times. I buried them in the ground, sent them to the temple, and even sold them a few times. I sold them to Sichuan, Henan, and even Buenos Aires! But it didn't work. They came back faster than the flight that day. At first, I sold them, and the next day, I had to pick them up from the train station. Then, I got tired of picking them up, so I brought them to the bus stop so that they could find their way home on their own … Last week, I even dug a small door under the door of my house so that they could come in on their own when they came back at night, instead of calling me in the middle of the night. After selling a lot of them, they seemed to have gotten used to it. I registered an account on Taobao for them. I even opened a separate account for them. Every time they sold them, they would receive a ten percent dividend, although I have no idea what the dolls could do with money. I even planned to install a voice input method on the computer so that they could give themselves good reviews … Hey, what are you guys going to do? "
I pulled Shallow Shallow to the next door. "We are a charity organization. Don't try to promote your products to us!"
The middle-aged man realized that he had misspoken and quickly stood up. "Don't, don't, don't. I'm a talkative person. I was just talking about the origin of the dolls. I just wanted to ask for your help. Ask the two dolls to stop following me … "
I turned around and asked in surprise, "Are you sure? Why do I see that you seem to be very happy selling land? "
The middle-aged man frowned and spread his hands. "Sigh, I'm not afraid, but my wife can't take it anymore. I was planning to find someone to deal with this after I get a new car …"
I looked at the uncle with admiration. I thought to myself, 'The real heroes are always among the people. This man didn't have a good environment. If he had been born in America, Bill Gates wouldn't have been able to survive.'
I held the pair of dolls in front of my eyes. Looking at them with my naked eyes, I couldn't see anything special about them. However, I could feel a weak energy fluctuation on their surface. It meant that there was something attached to the dolls. According to the middle-aged man, the dolls could communicate. I was suddenly curious.
"You asked someone to get rid of them in front of them. Aren't you afraid that the dolls will take revenge on you?"
"No," the middle-aged man grinned. "The dolls don't mind. In the past, when I looked for monks and Daoist priests, I always said it in front of them."
Uncle, you were brothers with Zhang Fei in your past life, right? You don't have the guts of a human!
Then, Shallow Shallow and I asked the uncle how to communicate with the dolls. Regrettably, although they could communicate through electronic devices, they could only do so after the sun had set. The dolls could only be used as decorations.
"You can go back. The dolls will stay here. They won't bother you anymore." I put the porcelain doll in a special box. I wanted to take it back to study it. I told the middle-aged man, "Master, don't worry, I'll take it back to study it.
"That's it?" The middle-aged man looked at the box I used to store the dolls in disbelief. The silver-white metal box was as smooth as a mirror. It didn't have any swastikas, crosses, robots, or QB. He couldn't believe that this thing could suppress evil spirits. He was an uncle who had been deeply poisoned by Er Li Qiao. His worldview had been distorted. "I told you that the dolls can't be locked up. They ran away the next day. Don't you need to perform a ritual to release them from the afterlife?"
"Ah, I forgot about that." Qian Qian immediately became happy. She stood up and shouted in the direction of the lounge, "Daoist Three Xuan! Abbess Miejue! Daoist Sanzang! Sister Magatha! Come out and sing! "
I wanted to stop them, but I couldn't. Then, a group of religious people scared the uncle.
