Chapter 32

Haha, protect them? Can you even afford to protect them! Old Wang’s eyes bulged, his big finger pointing at me, his cheeks trembling with anger, and the raindrops sliding down seemed to steam, making it quite terrifying.

The surroundings were filled with the sound of ruffians beating the ground with iron rods, the rhythm of *pa, pa pa* like war drums, causing shivers.

Han Shanshan and the police officers, including Huo Dade, saw this scene and their faces all changed slightly, involuntarily surrounding me in the middle.

Nowadays, those involved in the underworld often privately store firearms, and the detectives were all afraid that someone might suddenly fire a black gun.

Brother Wang, why get angry with the younger generation? They didn’t come here to challenge you specifically. They just want to see Ah Heng’s condition. If you block them here, it will lead to a dead end, and you wouldn’t want that, right? Lin Feiyu stepped forward to mediate, indirectly blocking Old Wang’s line of sight.

Good, interesting, a kid who dares to challenge me, Wang Cheng. I want to see if he can even get out after entering this door! Old Wang sneered, his eyes fixed on me.

As Old Wang’s words faded, the surroundings became eerily quiet. The ruffians stopped beating their rods, and we could already hear the pattering of the rain.

I glanced at the morgue door, not knowing what the old man meant. Could it be that it’s already very dangerous inside?

You are my little apple, how much I love you is never too much. Just as the scene was very quiet, my phone rang.

This ringtone almost made the people around me fall over.

I awkwardly picked up the cheap phone I had forgotten to set to silent mode, secretly cursing Yu Xiaoxue for changing my ringtone. I won’t let her play with my phone again next time.

I quickly glanced at the screen, thinking of hanging up, but saw a call display with only the character “Zhou.”

It’s from my mother. I glanced at everyone around me, who were all looking at me, and answered the call with a deadpan face: Mom, it’s me, I’m busy right now, what’s up?

The police called, saying that Xiaoyi Village has encountered a disaster and is now very dangerous. I asked about your grandmother, but the police said they haven’t found her yet and are still searching. You should focus on your work and don’t think about visiting your grandmother, and definitely don’t go back to the village. Be a good boy. On the other end, my mother said, sounding a bit sad.

Mom, I know Xiaoyi Village is finished. You don’t need to make excuses to deceive me. I’ve seen many things with my own eyes. I just came out of there two days ago and am now in the county. I didn’t plan to hide it. If I did, with my mother’s stubborn personality, she might even run to Xiaoyi Village.

Ah? You’re in the county?

My mother’s voice was stunned, as if digesting the meaning of my words. However, I didn’t plan to explain too much. Mentioning this would only make her more worried, so I said: Mom, don’t worry too much. I have some things to do now. I’ll call you back later.

After saying that, I hung up the phone. When I lifted my head, Old Wang and Lin Feiyu’s expressions were both solemn.

You came out of Xiaoyi Village? What is Zhou Xian to you? Old Wang’s red face turned cold as if doused with ice water.

My grandmother. I didn’t plan to hide this either. After all, anyone with a bit of effort could find out.

Lin Feiyu drew a sharp breath, his eyes immediately changing, looking at me with a “no wonder” expression: Tsk tsk, Brother Wang, did you hear that? This is the grandson of the senior Zhou.

Old Wang pursed his lips and after a moment, grunted: Hmph, what’s the point of being related? Who isn’t related to someone? If this can’t be handled, even her own son coming won’t help! Go in!

Seeing that Wang Cheng had let us in, I didn’t respond and followed Lin Feiyu to the morgue door.

Han Shanshan was confused, but Huo Dade knew a bit about the situation in Xiaoyi Village.

Old Wang and his son, Wang Dong, also followed behind, wanting to personally witness the autopsy process.

I’ve never seen an autopsy, but just thinking about the bodies makes my back feel cold. I wouldn’t dare to look if I didn’t have a bit of courage.

Looking at the tightly closed morgue door, even though Huo Dade was the captain, he didn’t dare to open it, his hands trembling, and he looked at Old Lin’s face.

Rainy days are when ghosts appear, and it’s easy to see dirty things. This is common knowledge. Looking up at the drizzle gradually turning into a downpour, everyone’s mood was very heavy.

Lin Feiyu knew this was a bit difficult for Huo Dade, so he took the initiative to stand at the door.

The door was an ordinary aluminum alloy door, but it looked quite sinister after being hung with dog teeth and splattered with dog blood.

Lin Feiyu opened the safe, took out a bunch of black incense wrapped in red cloth, lit it, and recited a few words before sticking it outside. Then, without turning his head, he said: Unrelated people, turn around.

Everyone turned around, didn’t they? Wang Dong, seeing his father nod, turned around to pass the message.

No one dared to look anymore. The female family members were all pale-faced. They had seen red and yellow incense, but never black incense.

What is burning black incense for? It’s for inviting fierce ghosts. Ordinary incense doesn’t work; they won’t listen to the living.

The black incense, once lit, had a heavy aroma, indicating it was of high quality.

I looked at Old Lin with a bit of respect. It seems he works in autopsies, and despite the yin energy, he’s still alive. He must have some skills. I need to learn from him. Following him around could get me some black incense, which is expensive but worth it.

After burning the black incense, Lin Feiyu took out a bag of white ash and evenly sprinkled it at the door.

Is this ash? If it’s ash, I understand. It’s for driving away evil and preventing the body from changing. After all, it’s dangerous to go in, and they’re afraid of being contaminated by dirty things, so they sprinkle these things.

However, this ash was too white, and it felt eerie. I had some doubts about whether it was really ash, but since Old Lin didn’t show off, I didn’t ask at this moment.

After doing all this, Lin Feiyu opened the door. Instantly, a cold wind blew out, scattering the ash Lin Feiyu had just sprinkled!

Lin Feiyu’s face turned white, and the black incense, which seemed to be made of paper, burned very quickly. If we hadn’t seen it burn slowly before opening the door, we might have thought Lin Feiyu was cutting corners!

Turning around, the two detectives had already turned their backs. They were close to the door and seemed to feel the yin energy on their necks, shivering.

Huo Dade didn’t show any cowardice, but his face was also very pale.

The air conditioning inside is cold enough. As for Han Shanshan, she had a hole in her forehead, so for her, it was like going shopping.

Wang Dong stood there, not looking as tough as he usually did. Crossing the threshold was like a thousand pounds on his feet.

Aren’t you going in? Little Lin, are you going to back out? I’ll tell you the truth, the guys who helped carry Ah Heng are still in the mental hospital. Wang Cheng said coldly.

Is it that scary? Han Shanshan said sarcastically and stepped into the door, and I couldn’t stop her!

No!

There was a few-meter-long corridor inside the door. Lin Feiyu was about to stop her, but Han Shanshan had already gone in. I instinctively tried to pull her back, but at that moment, my sister-in-law tugged at my clothes!

Xijun! I called out in a low voice and immediately opened the lid of the soul jar!

Xijun moved extremely fast, almost three times faster than us, and instantly rushed in front of Han Shanshan!

A scream came from inside. When Lin Feiyu and I rushed in, we saw Han Shanshan kneeling on the ground, her eyes fixed on the iron bed in the middle of the morgue!

On the iron bed, the middle-aged man with a smashed head sat straight, his posture very upright and flat, his hands hanging down, like a primary school student listening to a lesson.

But his eyes were terrifyingly white, his black lips half-open, as if welcoming us at the door.

Ah Heng! Seeing his son’s terrifying appearance, Wang Cheng’s old tears flowed, and he couldn’t bear to look.

Brother Wang Dong was both shocked and scared, his voice trembling. His brother was still stiff last night, but now he had changed into a corpse!

Xijun stood in front of Han Shanshan, baring her teeth, her black eyes full of ferocity.

Han Shanshan was crying and couldn’t speak, and I pulled her up, wanting to give her a slap: If you don’t seek death, you won’t die! Do you understand now!

She not only cried but was almost scared out of her wits. However, I was relieved that she wasn’t crazy. If Xijun hadn’t stopped the surging yin energy in time, she would have been sent to the mental hospital.

Xijun didn’t go to pull out the fierce ghost but only stood in opposition, which made me a bit worried. It seems the ghost inside is even more formidable than Xijun.

Huo Dade, who had a gun in his hand, aimed at Wang Heng’s head, but his hand was shaking so much that it didn’t look like he could hit.

Old Lin, what do you think? Should we go in or stay? I asked Lin Feiyu beside me.

Lin Feiyu and Old Wang had seen me release the fierce ghost and Xijun standing in front of me, but most of their attention was on the corpse-transformed Wang Heng, not on the ghost I had.

There’s no way. This ghost is very powerful, and its resentment can be felt around. When they carried him in last night, he was still sealed. Now, he has completely broken the seal. Little Lin, it’s not that Brother Wang and I are afraid, but even if we work together, we might not be able to drive it away. Even if we kill one or two, we might not be able to carry it away. Wang Cheng and Lin Feiyu said, their eyes turning to me.

I didn’t say anything. Xijun couldn’t handle it, and I’m not very skilled at these ghost-exorcising things, so I could only frown.

Wang Cheng and Lin Feiyu, seeing me frown, thought I was thinking of a solution and just waited for me to decide.

I was speechless: Why are you two looking at me, a young guy, at a critical moment? You can’t solve it, but you expect me to? Do you really think I’m my grandmother?

I’ve never seen a ghost that can stand up to Xijun. After a moment, seeing that Wang Heng was just sitting there without moving, I had no idea what to do and suggested: Old Lin, why don’t you burn some more black incense? Maybe we can talk to it?

But just as I said that, the sound of chattering teeth came from my ear. I wondered who was still chattering at this moment. Turning my head, I saw Wang Heng’s closed mouth suddenly move.
