The Taste of Ghosts in the World

Nanyao is a place composed of many intricate alleys. Standing in front of these alleys, they really don't know which direction to go, and those who are not familiar with it will definitely get lost.

Qi Mu had no choice but to ask Wen Qinlan, but she couldn't say anything except "Nanyao", she only knew to repeat the words for help like a curse.

When he was at his wit's end, Qi Buyang couldn't wait any longer and said that he should find them one by one. Feng Baisui pointedly pointed out: "That woman died before you found half of it."

He had to give up.

Qi Mu suddenly thought of the way Qi Buyang found him in the haunted house, so he asked if it was still feasible.

"Why didn't I think of it just now!" Qi Buyang suddenly saw the hope, took out the talisman and said, "You can try it."

Qi Mu called Wen Qinlan to the phone: "Is it still connected? Can you hear me?"

There was silence for a while, and a weak voice came, "You said... what..."

"Call my name, quick, call my name!"

"why…"

"Stop asking, call!"

"Qi Mu..."

As soon as her words fell, the talisman paper in Qi Buyang's hand immediately ignited a flame, pulling out a line of fire, and quickly extending forward.

"Follow!" Qi Buyang took the lead and walked forward.

After four or five turns, the fire line became thinner and thinner, and the flames gradually weakened. The last time, when Qi Mu and the others ran over, the fire line had disappeared.

"Is it because you don't have enough spiritual power?"

Qi Buyang shook his head, "There is only one possibility - the breath of life of the person you are looking for is too weak, so you can't connect."

It seemed that Wen Qinlan was injured, and Qi Mu became more and more anxious as he thought about it.

"You don't need to look for it." Feng Baisui said suddenly, "Look over there." He pointed to a room not far away.

When Qi Mu looked over, he felt a cold feeling.

The unremarkable room exuded an ominous smell of death.

Qi Buyang frowned, "The aura of ghosts is so strong there, it's almost impossible to feel a stranger."

"It must be inside!"

After hearing Qi Mu's words, Qi Buyang was about to rush over, but was stopped by him.

"Do you have a cell phone? Call the police first!"

At this time, Wen Qinlan's excited cry came from the phone that Qi Mu had been holding all this time: "He's coming back soon... He's coming back soon... I don't want to die! Help me! Please help me!" said In the back, her words were already trembling, revealing an indescribable despair.

Qi Mu thought for a while, and said to Qi Buyang, "Hurry up and call the police! He and I will go in first!"

Qi Buyang protested: "I will go too!"

"No!" Qi Mu pressed his shoulders, his voice was so severe that no one could doubt it, "The girl's mental state is very problematic now, there is no further delay, and she must be brought out as soon as possible. You'd better report to the police as soon as possible. Wait here, let us know in time if there is any situation, if you must go in, wait until you have reported to the police before going.”

Qi Buyang was stunned. In the past, Qi Mu always had a smile when talking to him, and he didn't feel that he cared much about anything, but now his eyes were very serious. Frightened by such aura, Qi Buyang subconsciously nodded.

Watching Qi Mu and Feng Baisui rush towards that house, he took out his mobile phone and dialed "110".

Qi Mu and the others arrived under the wall of the house, but the door was locked, so they could only climb over the wall.Seeing that there was no one around, Feng Baisui directly hugged him and flew up, easily crossing the wall.

Inside is a small yard, full of discarded old rusty water pipes and iron tools. There is an iron gate in front of the house with a big lock on it.

When they fell down, Feng Baisui tugged at the lock, trying to figure out if he could break it, Qi Mu looked around, found a coil of rusty wire, pulled out the end of the wire, and waved Feng Baisui to get out of the way.He inserted the end of the wire into the lock cylinder, fiddled with it for a while, and with a click, the lock opened.

"You still know this?" Feng Baisui asked.

"My father taught me that only old-fashioned locks work." Qi Mu threw away the wire and clapped his hands. "It is said that my mother was an expert at picking locks back then, and ordinary handcuffs can be fixed by just picking a hairpin."

"...What exactly does your family do..."

"I don't know either." Qi Mu said, pushing open the door, a stench came over his face, his expression froze on his face, his eyes widened, and he covered his mouth and nose with his hand.

The scene in the room is so frightening that it cannot be described in words, and the absurdity of the whimsical world brings full shock.

An old-fashioned TV set, two peeling sofas, four girls sitting side by side on the sofa, their bare skin is covered with interlaced wounds, those wounds are deep, and the raised flesh looks like a hideous Mouths, many festered, smelled of corruption.

They were already dead, but they were placed in a dignified posture, sitting in a well-behaved manner. The strangest thing was that the eyelids of these girls were glued together, and their eyes were wide open, staring straight ahead.

They looked at each other, and Feng Baisui asked with his eyes, do you want to go in?

Qi Mu swallowed, nodded, and stepped in.

The stench inside was even worse. He tried his best to suppress the churning feeling in his stomach. His feet were wet and sticky, and the floor was covered with mottled black spots, which should be coagulated blood, and there were some fresh blood. The ground is bright red.

There was a strong smell of blood in the rancid stench, Qi Mu finally couldn't help retching, his eyes were red, and he was about to burst into tears, Feng Baisui frowned and supported him.

Qi Mu regained his composure and remembered their purpose of coming here.

"Wen Qinlan? Where are you? If you can still talk, just answer me...Wen Qinlan?"

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." There was a faint sobbing sound from the depths of the house. Qi Mu followed the sound and walked around a big drawer, and saw Wen Qinlan huddled in a corner, her hands and feet were tied, and her arms and legs were tied. He was tied to his chest and held a mobile phone.

There were also four young girls in that corner. They were crowded together, their bodies overlapping each other, their blank faces without any expression, exactly the same as the four sitting on the sofa.

But now, Qi Mu didn't have time to take care of those ghosts. Wen Qinlan's body was also covered with countless scars, her clothes were stained red with blood, and she looked like she was dying.

He cut off the call, squatted down and carefully helped her untie the rope on her body.

Seeing Qi Mu, Wen Qinlan's eyes widened immediately, her face was covered with dirty tears, as soon as the rope on her wrist was untied, she collapsed into Qi Mu's arms and cried loudly, her body shaking like Like sifting chaff.

Qi Mu comforted her with a sigh: "It's okay...it's really okay..."

Wen Qinlan cried for a while and then passed out, Qi Mu turned around and called Feng Baisui: "Put her up."

Feng Baisui said: "I will recite it."

"No." Qi Mu shook his head, "What if the police come and see her floating in the air?"

Because of the blood on the ground, Qi Mu was carrying Wen Qinlan on his back, and almost slipped when he took a step.

Feng Baisui held him stiffly, leaned down, lifted his chin and kissed him.

After a while, let go.

"That's enough, hurry up and put her up." Feng Baisui urged.

Qi Mu was a little stunned, helped him carry Wen Qinlan on his back, and said softly: "Thank you."

Feng Baisui said angrily: "If you say it again, I will throw this woman down."

"..."

Qi Mu didn't speak any more, but just walked beside him to help support Wen Qinlan and prevent her from slipping.

Turning around to see, Qi Buyang stood firmly in front of the sofa, staring at the dead men, when he heard the noise and raised his head, his face was frighteningly pale.

"I told you not to come in, but you want to go in, are you scared?" Qi Mu didn't stop, and said as he walked, "Get out, are the police here?"

Qi Buyang quickly regained his senses, and reported: "It's already outside. During the period, the suspected murderer came back and was arrested at the door." After a pause, he said: "...the person we have seen."

"Who?"

Qi Buyang didn't need to answer, Qi Mu had already seen the prisoner being escorted in the yard, the man he bumped into by the Longhu a few days ago, was squatting trembling with his head in his hands in horror, and he couldn't be cruel to him in the room at all. A bloody scene is linked.

They walked out with Wen Qinlan on their backs, and the people outside immediately surrounded them. The policeman leading the team, Qi Mu, knew her as a former colleague of Qi's mother.Through the gaps in the crowd, Qi Mu saw the man squatting there cautiously raised his head to look this way, then retracted in panic.

This person, said to be a murderer, is more like a victim.

Wen Qinlan was sent to the hospital, and Qi's mother's colleagues took good care of them, and let them go back after taking notes and caring.

On the way back, Qi Buyang was depressed all the time, and he didn't even notice that Feng Baisui could be seen. He didn't say until Qi Mu asked, "Why did that person do such a vicious thing?"

Qi Mu understood what he meant, "Do you think that only ghosts can do this kind of thing?"

Qi Buyang wanted to defend himself, but felt that his subconscious really thought so.

"That person tortured and killed the girl. You think it's unacceptable. If you change it to a ghost, you take it for granted. Why is it acceptable to change the form and do evil? Don't you think this logic is contradictory?"

Qi Buyang pursed his lips, frowning deeply.

Qi Mu said slowly: "I've always felt that people are used to putting their faults on other things instead of taking it on themselves, even if the things they are taking on are illusory. But this is another way to be strong, after all, you can maintain Hope it's okay."

After a pause, he said again: "But you can't pretend it didn't happen just because you evaded it. People can do any terrible things as long as they want to, and ghosts are the same. There is no difference between which is better and which is worse. But I Guess, people who can do those things, they shouldn't think what they did is terrible."

Qi Buyang stared in disbelief, "How is it possible! They are of the same kind, but they have committed such a cruel murder. Even children know that this is a bad thing!"

Qi Mu ignored his excitement, and asked lightly: "Do you think that cowardly murderer is someone who can do such a thing?"

"...It's not like..." Qi Buyang admitted.

"Because he is too cowardly, his career may not be very smooth, and his family relationship may not be good. What such a person desires most is a sense of accomplishment. The sense of accomplishment he wants must be obtained from the same kind, which is different from the usual Instead, he wanted them to look at him with fear or admiration. So he glued the eyelids of those girls so that they could always look at him, and get this feeling from their despair and fear. At least that's what I think, what do you think?"

Qi Buyang thought for a while, then nodded seriously.He felt that that person's thinking was distorted, but he had to admit that there were indeed people who indulged in fantasy and enjoyed that false pleasure.

Qi Mu didn't intend to continue explaining, and said to himself: "So what is bad in the eyes of everyone is not a bad thing to him, but... a way to realize self-worth."

His clear black pupils reflected bright lights, and the long dragon formed by the lights stretched forward, bright and brilliant.

Qi Mu thought of the room full of blood and dead bodies, the unpleasant rancid smell still lingered in his nostrils, the dead girl's stiff eyes and the lively passers-by around her seemed to be in different worlds.

Feng Baisui turned his head and saw the faint expression on his face, so he gently held his fingers without speaking.The touch in the palm of his hand was slightly cold, and he couldn't help clenching it a little more.

The next day, Feng Baisui still accompanied Qi Mu to school. As soon as he entered the classroom, the students in the class started applauding enthusiastically.

Qi Mu walked to his seat inexplicably, Fang Ji rushed over and slapped him on the back.

He suddenly had a feeling of being punished, "What are you doing?"

"Brother, you quietly ran to save the beauty without telling us!" Fang Ji squeezed his eyes, "All the letters of commendation from the Public Security Bureau have been sent to the school. You really deserve it!"

"..." Qi Mu murmured inwardly that it was not good, it was probably caused by his mother's colleague, and he should have been reminded yesterday.

But it's too late.

For the next whole day, Qi Mu spent Fang Ji complaining about his lack of loyalty, and other students he knew or didn't know pointing and pointing.

Qi Mu was overwhelmed by the disturbance, and asked the head teacher for leave on the grounds of being overworked yesterday, and finally escaped.

After that, the news reported the news, and it was confirmed that the man was the murderer. He was an ordinary plumber. Due to the setback in life, he had a vengeful mentality, so he attacked the girl who had little ability to resist.Those girls had all been brutally abused before they died, and only Wen Qinlan survived.

Fortunately, Qi Mu's real name was not announced on TV, only a brave classmate came forward to rescue him.

This is the only place where Qi Mu feels gratified.
