Ghosts have fairies

Chapter 24 The Old Soul

"Have you made up your mind?"

Qi Tong let go of He Zhen's hand, and sat down across from Wu Min. The lights on this floor were all on, there were some office chairs in the corridor for some reason, and the door of an office in the corner was closed tightly. , but a human voice could be vaguely heard from inside.

"I..." Wu Min hesitated to speak, she forgot what she was going to say when she saw Qi Tong's inexplicably gloomy face, she didn't dare to meet the eyes of the person opposite, subconsciously Asking for help, he turned his eyes to He Zhen.

"I picked up that book on the fourth floor where more than a dozen sarcophagi were stored." He Zhen pointed to the work card and the book put aside by Qi Tong, and said, "I flipped through it, it is The work log of an employee in Rongding Building more than ten years ago.

Following his words, Wu Min also glanced at Qi Tong cautiously, and said, "You may have heard that there was an accident in Rongding Building 16 years ago..."

"The elevator fell in the middle of the night and killed more than a dozen people?" Before Wu Min finished speaking, Tang Cheng suddenly and quickly continued.

"Uh..." Wu Min was stunned for a moment, "Yes, there was a team of employees from a company that had a meeting in the building at night, and they took the elevator together when they left after ten o'clock in the evening. But they didn't When they got home, their family members couldn’t contact them, so they hurriedly reported to the police, and finally found their bodies in the broken down elevator of the Rongding Building. Building monitoring showed that the elevator stayed on the upper floors for nearly 10 minutes before falling.”

"That's not right." Yan Chuan frowned and said, "Mobile phones should have been common at that time, right? Even if they were stuck in the elevator and had no signal, the emergency calls could still be made, and none of them tried to call for help. Pass?"

"That's the reason for the blame. When we carried out their bodies, we found that everyone had mobile phones on them, but everyone's mobile phones had malfunctioned, not broken ones. Two mobile phones were well preserved, but even I can’t even turn on the phone,” Wu Min said.

Qi Tong: "Not only are all possibilities of survival cut off, even after death their souls can't even get out of this building."

Wu Min nodded furiously, "It is said that after death, the soul will go to the underworld to reincarnate, but this building is like being sealed. Their souls have been wandering here for more than ten years, and many ghost stories have been spread. It is indeed from their hands, but no matter how big the commotion is, there has never been a ghost sent to seduce the soul."

"Do you know what's going on?" Bu Yehou suddenly remembered that when Tang Cheng disappeared on the 26th floor, Qi Tong had laid down a talisman.

"Yeah." Qi Tong took out his phone and opened an app, "Ghost Array."

Tang Cheng suddenly remembered that when he was drawn into the illusion of dry bones yesterday, Qi Tong said that his earth-shattering fall broke the "ghost lock formation" he had set up. He looked at Qi Tong's cell phone.

As soon as he got closer, Qi Tong twisted out a piece of yellow talisman paper full of spells with his fingertips. He clicked a button in the app, and the phone jumped out of the camera interface. He scanned the talisman paper, Then he said: "Someone set up a ghost gate in this building to let the souls of the people who died here drift away in it. They died in vain, and with great unwillingness in their hearts, they were trapped here for more than ten years. The backlog, over time, becomes a ghost."

"Brother Tong, are you looking for Du Niang?" Tang Cheng looked at Qi Tong's mobile phone interface kept turning in circles, not understanding the meaning of his scanning the talisman paper.

"I still need a search engine?" Qi Tong held up the talisman and waved it in front of him, "This talisman was discovered just now, and now I need to scan it into the phone to see the three-dimensional effect."

Tang Cheng: "Now you can scan the QR code to exorcise evil spirits?"

Qi Tong: "Your classmates have any opinions?"

Tang Cheng shook his head, "I dare not."

Qi Tong put the mobile phone flat on his palm and asked everyone to surround him. Only then did Tang Cheng realize that the mobile phone contained a three-dimensional map of the entire Rongding Building, and there were dense red mantras on several walls of the building.

"These are the soul-inducing scriptures?" He Zhen asked, zooming in on the image on the wall with two fingers.

"Yes, it is this thing that is pulling their souls, that's why after that girl named Zhou Yue committed suicide in this building, her souls will also be trapped here to die." Qi Tong paused, with eyes wide open Looking at Wu Min again with a smile, "You have a corridor mirror in your hand, there must be someone in your family who eats yin and yang. Your colleague found you after his death, and let you meet other lonely souls in this building. Did they tell you that someone will break into this place tonight, and as long as they get something from the person who broke in, they can get rid of the prison of the ghost gate and enter reincarnation?"

"Yes, 16 people died in the elevator [-] years ago, including my colleagues, a total of [-] people, they said that six people will come to this building tonight, as long as three drops of apex blood are taken from each of them, they will You can leave here." Wu Min cried just now, her voice was still trembling slightly, and her tone seemed very tired.

"But we came here with seven people." Tang Cheng said, seeing the other four teammates all looking at him, he suddenly realized: "Oh yes, I joined in halfway."

"Wait a minute." Bu Yehou was puzzled, and asked: "They were imprisoned here, how did they know that the six of us would come here tonight? We even made a temporary decision in the afternoon."

After a while, Yan Chuan suddenly stared and clapped his hands, "There is an even more powerful character behind these ghosts! He monitors our whereabouts!"

As soon as he said this, Qi Tong and He Zhen straightened their backs imperceptibly at the same time, staring straight ahead with no emotion on their faces.

Yan Chuan looked at Qi Tong, and Buyehou looked at He Zhen, and the two fairies, a flower and a tree, had a guess circling in their minds at the same time.

Yan Chuan: Qi Tong knows that he came here on purpose!

Bu Yehou: He Zhen knows that he came here on purpose!

Unaware that their psychological activities were so exciting, Wu Min continued: "They said that a man in a white robe suddenly appeared in the building yesterday. relief."

"Yesterday? There are so many office workers in the building. From yesterday to tonight, they didn't get enough eighteen drops?" Tang Cheng felt that the fighting power of this ghost was slightly different from what he imagined.

"No." Wu Min shook his head, and carefully glanced around at the other people, "The white-robed person must be a sharp-blooded person with spiritual power like a god, ghost, and demon."

Tang Cheng looked at Qi Tong thoughtfully, "Brother, this white-robed man sounds like the same one we heard in the Dry Bones Illusion, although he is picky today."

Qi Tong didn't answer his words, and asked Wu Min again: "So when we were on the 26th floor, you hid Tang Cheng with the corridor mirror, and then kept him with you to prevent him from seeing us, but you didn't expect to bring Tang Cheng with you? When he ran all the way to the thirteenth floor, they locked Tang Cheng in the corridor, and in the end your colleagues even hung him on the roof to throw him to death."

Wu Min rubbed his arms, crying in his voice, "I thought it would be okay to take a few drops of blood, so I agreed to help them, but you all have spiritual power, and I'm afraid I can't control you, so I can only try to disperse you as much as possible." , and take blood from the apex one by one."

"Taking apex blood can be a big or small thing. You don't understand these things, and you can be forgiven for believing what they say." He Zhen knocked on the armrest of the seat, "But now, we have figured it out, and your situation is not the same. It's safe."

While they were talking, the door of the office in the corner of the corridor was suddenly opened from the inside, and the voices inside suddenly became clear. Before the group of people sitting outside could react, a dozen or so people from the office came out one after another.

A group of people sat in the same place, Wu Min and Tang Cheng moved behind Qi Tong unconsciously, and the others put on a posture of attacking at any time.

Unexpectedly, the people who came out of the office didn't even look at them, and just walked over, as if they didn't exist at all.

"What's going on?" Tang Cheng asked angrily.

"We are in the corridor mirror." He Zhen put away the wooden fan, "This should have happened in Rongding Building more than ten years ago."

Wu Min: "But the corridor mirror can only go back three days at most..."

"That's you." Qi Tong interrupted her, "The person who controls the corridor mirror is probably someone."

"That's the security guard that Changying and I met!" Yan Chuan pointed to a man holding a flashlight among the group.

"It's those people who died in the elevator 16 years ago." Wu Min swallowed nervously.

Bu Yehou pointed to the group of people and counted them one by one. After a while, he frowned and said, "Didn't seventeen people die? Why are there eighteen here?"

Wu Min was obviously also confused by this strangeness, and couldn't help but leaned closer to carefully identify the appearance of the group of people. After a while, she pointed at one of the young men tremblingly and said, "That's my boss, he He was only transferred last year, why haven't I heard that he worked in Rongding before?"

"One survived?" Qi Tong asked.

Wu Min: "Only [-] people were mentioned in the news. There was no surveillance in the elevator at the time. When the investigators checked the surveillance in the building the next day, they only saw these [-] people staying until late at night."

"Follow and have a look." He Zhen stood up and motioned.

The group of people talked and laughed and turned to another office area to pack their things. The cleaning lady took a small bucket and a rag to the bathroom to clean up, and then went back to the office where everyone was. There was some fatigue in the room, but it could be seen that he was in a good mood.

"Aunt Fang, are you going home to take care of yourself after work today?" A capable woman wrote two strokes in her work diary, closed the cap of her pen and stuffed the notebook into her bag. She put her chin on the back of her hand and looked at the cleaning lady with a smile on the partition board of the booth.

"Yeah, I'm old, I should go home and enjoy myself." The aunt seemed to think of something happy again, and her eyes narrowed with a smile, "My wife is clamoring every day to go back to my hometown to take care of the elderly. My son gave us a few days ago A house was built in my hometown, and now my old man is even more anxious, like a child, looking forward to returning to his hometown to live in a new house every day."

A boy with a youthful face also came over, he should be an intern, with a badge hanging around his neck in a neat manner, "Aunt Fang, you two have such a good relationship."

"I've been suffering for most of my life, and it's hard to survive until now everything is better, so I should cherish it even more." The aunt said with a smile, looking at the two young people in front of her, "Xiaojin's baby is almost three years old, right?" It’s not easy for you. After finishing this project today, you can spend time with your children. And you, Xiao Yuan, spend more time with your girlfriend when you have time.”

Xiao Jin: "The third birthday will be here soon, and the little girl is clamoring for her mother every day, so I have to spend a good birthday with her next week, otherwise I won't be able to recognize my mother."

Intern Xiao Yuan scratched her head, "My girlfriend understands me quite well. She said that it was not easy to work at the beginning. In fact, I feel very sorry for her. After two years when we both stabilize, we are going to get married."

"Good job!" The security guard with a flashlight yelled not far away.

"Uncle Zhou, is your grandson in primary school?"

"Yeah, in the third grade of elementary school, I got a perfect score in the last exam and asked me for a reward. I kept forgetting to buy it, so I will pick out a gift for the child tomorrow."

A woman who looked like a leader interrupted them with a smile, "Let's go back, it's late, everyone has worked hard today, and Aunt Fang and Uncle Zhou, please stay with us so late tonight."

"Hey, it's okay, I can get a little bit of vitality by following you young people!" Zhou Shu laughed loudly.

A group of people turned off the lights in the office and were about to go to the elevator, when a man suddenly stopped in his tracks, "Well... you guys go first, I suddenly feel a little sick to my stomach, so I need to go to the bathroom first."

"Go." Uncle Zhou said, "I'll wait for you at the gate on the first floor, and I have to lock it."

The man smiled embarrassedly, clutched his stomach and went straight to the bathroom.

******

"My boss got away with going to the toilet?" Wu Min said, looking at the back of the man leaving.

"Look, the elevator isn't moving." Yan Chuan clicked his chin on the elevator that everyone just stepped into.

Just in an instant, the lights on the entire floor dimmed. A group of people looked up and looked around, and the sound of slow footsteps came from the corridor not far away.

Tang Cheng: "Hey! Look, your boss is back again."

The man had a sullen face, and he was completely different from the one who was holding his stomach and rushing to the bathroom just now. He walked slowly to the elevator door and looked at the immobile floor number. After a long while, he suddenly said, "Everyone is inside." gone."

"Who is he talking to?" Bu Yehou turned around in a circle, except for this man, there was not even a ghost on this floor.

As soon as he finished speaking, mist suddenly billowed around the man. After the mist dissipated, he saw a figure of a man in white robe standing there upright, with no hair around his body.

Tang Cheng was surprised, "He is..."

He only had time to utter two words when he opened his mouth, when the white-robed man suddenly stretched out his hand, and the palm seemed to grow out of a thin transparent tube, which went straight into the elevator door. A thin tube flowed out.

"You've done a good job." The white-robed man's voice has obviously been processed, and it's gloomy like the wind blowing from the ground, "Don't worry about your marriage with that rich girl, you just have to wait for your peace of mind now." the phoenix man."

A trace of humiliated anger appeared on the man's face because of the word "Phoenix Man", but he didn't dare to vent it, "Can I go now?"

"Wait." The white-robed man withdrew his hand, and immediately hid his whole arm in the wide robe, "Are you going to let them go just like that?"

"What do you mean?" The man turned his head to look at him in horror, "Didn't you say that you can take the blood?"

"It's uncomfortable to be looked down upon by others, isn't it?" the white-robed man said irrelevantly, "What if these people can change your life for the rest of your life?"

"That can't kill a dozen people!" The man said quickly.

"Do you still remember the eyes of your relatives when you borrowed money to go to school? Or because you have no background at work, your hard work has become a stepping stone for others to get promoted?" Counting some rare treasures, he suddenly gave a strange "Oh", "Or maybe in order to save money for father's medical treatment, he had to sleep with a rich lady?"

"Shut up!" the man roared, blood rushing from his neck to his face.

"Your girlfriend's parents are particularly dissatisfied with you, aren't they? You obviously like each other, but everyone else thinks that you are interested in other people's property. Even if I help you achieve this marriage, this kind of marriage with a wrong family, you How long will the two young people last? By then, she will still be a glamorous rich girl, while you are just a pauper who fell off the phoenix branch."

The man's breathing suddenly became heavy, and every deep breath seemed to plunder the air of the entire floor.

"Besides, you are not afraid that they will tell your girlfriend about you and that rich lady?" The white-robed man added slowly: "Everyone inside knows, if someone among them exposes you, what do you think? Is this rich girl still willing to marry you?"

"You don't even need to move your hands." The white-robed man's fingertips paused in front of the elevator, as if he was holding a string to control a puppet. "Just a word, even a nod, and you have a chance to turn around."

The man pursed his lips and lowered his head silently, his whole face was buried in the shadow, his expression could not be seen clearly, but his trembling outline could be seen clearly.The white-robed man was not in a hurry, and stood quietly waiting for his answer.

"There are surveillance cameras in the building, which will capture the time when I leave, which will easily arouse suspicion." After a long time, he suddenly said hoarsely.

"Heh." The white-robed man chuckled, "With me here, you don't have to worry about this. And what are you afraid of? This is just an accident caused by an elevator failure."

The man raised his head, his eyes were bloodshot, and his lips were trembling.

He took several deep breaths and said with a choked voice, "I haven't been to Rongding Building tonight."
