Well of Mystery

"You still have the face to howl?!"

Almost every word Jiang Chenglu squeezed out between his teeth: "If you hadn't been pretending to be crazy and messed up with something you shouldn't have messed with, how could Xiaobai end up in the situation he is today!"

When he mentioned it, Li Kun finally realized that something was wrong: "Xiaobai, where is Xiaobai? Why didn't you see him?"

"He was beheaded by the guy who possessed you." Tao Chuan explained on the side: "Now his soul has left his body and his whereabouts are unknown."

Li Kun couldn't howl anymore, just hugged Jiang Chenglu's thigh and froze on the spot, his expression was dull: "How could it be... how could it be like this..."

"You get up first!"

Jiang Chenglu finally managed to suppress his anger: "Please tell me the matter clearly, how did you die?"

"How did you die... how did you die... Ugh, I was deceived, deceived!"

Amidst a series of terrified and painful sobs, Li Kun intermittently explained the ins and outs of his killing.

Things have to go back to the day of Wang Tiqi's first seven. Li Kun and Jiang Chao were invited to the TV station to record the so-called "first seven special program".In the early hours of the morning, the drowsy crowd dispersed one after another, leaving only Jiang Chao and Li Kun.

It's just that the person lying on the back seat so drunk was not Jiang Chao, but Li Kun.

Taking advantage of Li Kun's drowsiness, Jiang Chao found Li Kun's car keys. The driver was obviously not a driver from any surrogate driving company, but an accomplice who had been found in advance.

In order not to be photographed by the surveillance cameras on the road, Jiang Chao sat in the back seat with Li Kun throughout the whole process.When the car was about to drive to the suburbs, Li Kun woke up and looked up to see that Jiang Chao was beside him. He was suddenly curious about who was driving, so he glanced into the front rearview mirror of the car.

He saw the man in the mirror.He turned his head 180 degrees and stuck his long, forked tongue out at him.

Then, Li Kun's neck was broken by Jiang Chao.

Everything after that.Li Kun just didn't remember much.He just remembered that he seemed to be sucked into a very dark place, and he couldn't see anything up, down, left, or right.

He was terrified.But he couldn't say a word, and could only maintain a hazy consciousness of half asleep and half awake, waiting helplessly.

I don't know how long it has passed, but suddenly Li Kun was dragged out of that dark place again, his consciousness recovered, and his hands and feet could move freely.He sat up and found himself lying on a stainless steel dissecting table.The body is already translucent ghost-like, very weak.

And under his body was the corpse of a boa constrictor several meters long and the thickness of a bowl. Its abdomen had been cut open.The viscera or something was taken out and set aside.

"It was taken out of the snake's belly, and there is a finger of mine."

Speaking of this, Li Kun sighed and raised his right hand, there was indeed a ring of teeth marks at the base of one finger.He pulled his finger out and back in like a portable USB flash drive, and sighed again.

"That python is the substitute driver who helped Jiang Chao drive. His accomplice."

Tao Chuan commented on Li Kun's experience: "The boa constrictor's body was dissected. Except for the finger, no more human tissue was found. This means that at least recently, it did not feed on human corpses. It might devour human souls."

"There is indeed such an evil way of cultivation, which absorbs human souls and transforms them into one's own cultivation."

Jiang Chenglu affirmed his conjecture: "The boa constrictor was killed before it completely absorbed Li Kun's soul. So Li Kun's soul did not die completely, but was trapped in the boa constrictor until the snake's body was delivered It was released at the Natural History Museum for dissection."

This brat always has a little bit of luck in his misfortune.

Li Kun cried and cried, and suddenly remembered another thing: "After I fell into the darkness, I felt very uncomfortable for a while, as if I was about to die a second time. But it didn't take long for the uncomfortable energy to disappear. I just lost consciousness completely."

"You are uncomfortable because the python is absorbing your soul."

Following Li Kun's confession, Tao Chuan introduced some new content: "But this absorption almost stopped shortly after your death, which means that the time of death of the python and you is close."

"It's Jiang Chao."

Jiang Chenglu spoke out the subtext in this sentence for him: "The rabbit is dead, the python was also killed by Jiang Chao. Jiang Chao originally thought that killing the python would make no one know what he did, and a snake corpse He also couldn’t provide more evidence for the police. But he didn’t know that the python bit off and swallowed a part of Li Kun’s finger at the last moment, which made the truth of the incident surface.”

"Unfortunately, the truth came too late."

Tao Chuan sighed: "Now we only know that Jiang Chao is disguised as Li Kun, but we don't know what it is, and where it is hiding now."

"what……!"

Li Kun yelled again: "I saw a tattoo on Jiang Chao's wrist before, and Xiaobai also mentioned it to me. Could it be some kind of witchcraft!?"

Jiang Chenglu and Tao Chuan looked at each other, and at the same time remembered the severed hand that fell into the muddy water of the underground passage.

"Wait a minute."

Jiang Chenglu turned around and asked the ghost messenger in front of the ghost gate: "Excuse me, I want to ask a question. Will the damage after death also appear on ghosts?"

"Yes and no."

Ma Guichai smiled and replied: "Wandering ghosts in the world, unless they become ghosts or monsters by chance, the corruption and damage of the corpse will also appear on the ghost. But as long as you enter this gate of ghosts, the body It has nothing to do with the soul, and even if the body is burned in the crematorium, it will not have any impact."

Jiang Chenglu nodded, and asked Li Kun to raise his right hand again.

"You have not yet entered the gate of hell, so no matter the physical damage before death or after death, it will be reflected in the soul. The finger of your right hand bitten off by the python is a proof... However, this afternoon we got a severed right hand , the five fingers are intact, and your right hand shows no signs of being cut or separated."

"That is to say, the hand in the underground passage is not mine!" Li Kun said loudly.

"So this case is not an ordinary ghost possession. Borrowing a body."

Tao Chuan has already taken out his mobile phone: "There are not many monsters who can imitate other people's appearance at will, and most of them have registered and tracked in the management departments in various places. You can check whether there are any abnormal movements or disappearances recently."

"Hey. I'm afraid it's not as simple as imitating my appearance..."

Li Kun sighed, and suddenly supported his head.

"My head. Really, really, really hurts."

As he spoke, he pulled his head off his shoulders with force.

—————————————————————————————

After "appreciating" Li Kun's guillotine show, Jiang Chenglu and Tao Chuan left the ghost gate on Huangquan Road in a trance.

Li Kun didn't follow, because Jiang Chenglu gave him a very important opportunity to redeem himself - to stay outside the gate of hell, in case Bai Xiuqi came over, stop him at all costs.

It was already midnight when we returned to Xuanjing's apartment.The sound of the pattering rain finally stopped temporarily, and the surroundings became cool and quiet, which is really suitable for sleeping in the cool.

But Jiang Chenglu couldn't sleep.

Not only couldn't sleep, he didn't even eat dinner.After getting off the car, he hurried to Huayang's studio.

The door of the studio was wide open and the lights were on, but there was no one inside.Jiang Chenglu opened the bead curtain and wanted to go inside, but the giant clam flew out from nowhere, and blocked him with flapping wings.

"Go to eat. Go to rest!" He repeatedly yelled at Jiang Chenglu: "Hua Yang said that you will not be allowed to enter Hutian tonight!"

Jiang Chenglu grabbed the giant clam with one hand and threw him on the soft cushion beside him, then probed into the room to look around, but he did not see the entrance of Hutian.

No one could forcefully enter Hutian without the owner's permission, so Jiang Chenglu stopped in resentment.

"A Jiang, let's go. You really, really need to rest."

As Tridacna said this, he yawned himself, leaned against the soft cushion and simply stopped standing up.

There is no other way.Jiang Chenglu stood at the door for a while, then finally turned around and left with heavy steps.

It took him a long, long time to get back to his place.Bai Xiuqi's new house was still dark, and the door was locked.Adjacent to it, Jiang Chenglu's own room was also dark, but there was a person sitting by the door.

For a moment, Jiang Chenglu thought it was Bai Xiuqi.But he rubbed his eyes, only to find that it was just another person sitting at the door of his house.

Now he knew that he really needed a break.

Hearing his footsteps, Gongping suddenly raised his head from his drowsy sleepiness, but there were a pair of bright eyes on his haggard and pale face.

"I'm not running away again. I have to talk to you."

"...Come in and talk about it."

Jiang Chenglu was silent for a few seconds, then took out the key and opened the door.

--------------------------

There is nothing to eat at home, and just in the evening, the deliveryman from the shopping website braved the heavy rain to deliver the food, and everything was not touched at all.Jiang Chenglu opened the bags one by one and checked them one by one, with slow movements and a blank expression.

After looking at all the food bags, he picked out two or three, put them in a bowl, and threw them on the table.

"Sure enough, I still made a lot of mistakes. Xiaobai is really stubborn. You can ask me a question in advance..."

He let out a wry smile, and pushed the bowl and chopsticks in front of Gongping.

"eat."

Gongping didn't even dare to raise his head, he just stared at the small space in front of his toes, and after a while, he murmured: "Listen to my dad, you called me. He said you are not bad people , so I decided to come here... but who knows, I was knocked out by that guy just as I got to the door..."

Jiang Chenglu didn't look at him at all, he just took out a pair of chopsticks and started picking up vegetables.The cold dishes have already lost their aroma, and the taste is not as good as before.

But Bai Xiuqi ordered it himself, and Jiang Chenglu told himself that nothing should be wasted.

There was another sound of footsteps in the corridor, and Tao Chuan, who had just been to Huangquan Road together, walked in. He first looked at Gongping, and then turned his gaze back to Jiang Chenglu.

"What did you call me for?"

Jiang Chenglu still didn't speak, and only pointed to the seat beside him with his chopsticks.

Tao Chuan sat down, Jiang Chenglu knocked on the table again, Gongping was stunned, and then realized that he was asking himself to continue talking.

"Last night, I saw a news on TV that the body of a boa constrictor was found under a bridge. I knew the snake, so I called the police. It was not an ordinary snake, it had been It's a container from my jewelry store."
