The master of metaphysics is trying to break up again

In the evening, Lin Xuekuang was already standing on the boundary of City S.

At this time, it was the evening rush hour of get off work hours, and the bustling streets were crowded with people. It seemed impossible to find Wei Lin.

Since he didn't have Wei Lin's belongings on him, and he didn't know the other party's date of birth, he couldn't even use the tracking technique very well, so he had to go to the youth hostel that Wei Lin booked first.

According to what Lin Xuekuang asked before, the location of the hostel should be behind a nursing home by the sea in the east of the city.

Youth hostels are booked according to beds. There are eight-person rooms, six-person rooms, and four-person rooms. They are cheap and safe accommodation options. There are six hostels in S City. Because of the different locations and decorations, the bed prices are also different. Wei The one Lin booked was at a mid-range price.

Given her financial situation, she didn't choose the cheapest one, not because it was uncomfortable to live in, but because other hostels were too far away from where she wanted to go.

The bunk belonging to Wei Lin in the youth hostel was still vacant, and the bedding was neatly arranged. It was obvious that she hadn't checked in yet. Lin Xuekuang walked around the hostel, but felt that this place had soothing water, flat and wide sandy beaches, and good feng shui. A place of rest and tranquility.

Before Wei Lin came, Lin Xuekuang drank half a bottle of Pulsation for a long time, and his stomach began to feel a little uncomfortable. He found a relatively clean small noodle restaurant opposite the hotel gate, put down his drink after entering, and asked for a drink at the front desk. Ordered a bowl of Yangchun noodles.

There were not many people in the noodle shop, but there was surveillance. The little girl at the front desk didn’t dare to play with her mobile phone, probably because she was free. After ordering, she smiled at Lin Xuekuang and said, “It’s so cold today.”

Lin Xuekuang also smiled, leaning on the counter still looking like a tree facing the wind, staring at the other person a little straight: "It's cold, I've been looking outside for a long time, and my hands are going to be numb from the cold. Come in and eat something to warm up." warm."

In fact, there is nothing to talk about, but because he is good-looking, every sentence is very interesting. The clerk asked curiously: "Looking for the way, are you a foreigner? Why don't you tell me where you are looking for?" ? I've been here five years."

Lin Xuekuang laughed and said, "Really? Thank you, that's really great. I want to find a nearby Buddhist temple to worship, if there is no one, or Taoist temple, nunnery, Confucius temple, Guandi temple, etc. It's okay."

Shop clerk: "..."

The handsome guy's beliefs are a bit careless.

Lin Xuekuang looked around and lowered his voice a little: "Beauty, to tell you the truth, I came here to do some business. Before I came here, my mother told me that this place is a bit evil. I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the place. Yes, you have to pay homage to the gods and find a backer before you can live, otherwise, you will easily encounter... that kind of thing."

He said it seriously, if other people who knew Lin Xuekuang saw this appearance, they would definitely be surprised, but he managed to scare the little girl into shivering.

She also lowered her voice involuntarily: "Who did your mother listen to? Really?"

Lin Xuekuang: "..."

Girl, I want to talk to you!

Fortunately, he did not disappoint his expectations for the sentence "It's been five years." The clerk's next words were: "I also heard people say that there seems to be a villa by the sea. It was burned down a few years ago, and dead people died inside. There were a lot of people, and then the remaining half of the house started to be haunted, and a few people were scared crazy, and no one dared to approach, and the ruins were deserted. I haven’t seen it with my own eyes, and I don’t know where it is. Could this be what Auntie said?"

Lin Xuekuang shook his head, and said ambiguously: "I don't know too well, and she sighs if I ask too many questions. But apart from this incident, there shouldn't be any other unjust and tragic cases, right?"

The clerk said: "I've never heard of it, this one is scary enough. Look, that aunt is..."

Lin Xuekuang hadn't followed her instructions to look back when he heard the clerk suddenly raise his voice: "Hey, wait a minute, the customer at that position hasn't left yet!"

Lin Xuekuang turned his head and found that a plainly dressed old lady and a seven or eight-year-old boy came into the store, who looked like two grandparents.

The little boy was holding Lin Xuekuang's half-bottle of pulsation in his hand, and wanted to put it in the woven bag in the grandmother's hand, but the clerk forced him to drink it. He was a little frightened, and quickly put the drink back on the table , small hands behind his back.

The clerk quickly apologized to Lin Xuekuang: "Hey, I'm sorry, don't be angry. I just heard this old lady mention what we were talking about just now. Her son is an engineer, and he visited the villa last year. Please go and evaluate whether the value is worth dismantling. After the result, people are stupid. Their family has spent all their money to treat him this year. The old lady comes out to collect waste products every day, and the children also come out to help, with us Everyone here knows everyone, and they are usually well-behaved, maybe they thought you were gone, so they took the bottle."

Lin Xuekuang looked down, probably because of malnutrition, the child was quite thin, but he looked a bit thick-headed, like a kohlrabi, and he dared not look at him with his head drooping.

He couldn't help reaching out, gently pinching the child's face, and asked, "What's your name?"

His fingers were a little cold, but there was a faint fragrance of laundry detergent on his body. The child was so frightened that he didn't make a sound, but the old lady tremblingly took out five yuan and handed it to Lin Xuekuang: "Son, take it, I'm sorry." ah."

Lin Xuekuang pushed the money back: "Ma'am, no need, I was going to throw this bottle away."

He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, without showing any distaste, drank the rest of the pulse in two gulps, and put the bottle into the woven bag.

The old lady paused holding the money for a while, smiled gratefully and embarrassedly, and carefully took the five yuan back.

The little boy seemed relieved at last, glanced at him secretly, and whispered: "Brother, I'm sorry, my name is Sun Ping."

He paused, and then said softly: "You can't go to the house by the sea. When Dad went, he got sick."

Lin Xuekuang was slightly startled, and said, "Did you hear me talking to my sister just now? The house by the sea...is the one on fire?"

Sun Ping nodded: "Dad took me to see it in the car, and then he went by himself. After he came out, he ignored me, grandma and mother, and said a lot of things we couldn't understand every day. The doctor said, This disease can't be cured..."

The old lady patted her grandson's head lightly: "What nonsense are you talking about?"

Lin Xuekuang said: "Ma'am, do you know the location of that house? I'm also here to see the land, and I'm afraid I might accidentally walk there."

After hearing what he said, the old lady said: "The place can only be seen three miles to the east from here and around the tallest building over there. I told Pingping's father earlier, and the place looks It’s poisonous, but you can’t go there, young people don’t believe in evil...children, you must not go there.”

Lin Xuekuang asked and understood the place, and responded with all his mouth. At this time, his noodles were also ready. The grandparents and grandchildren packed up the waste paper shells and bottles and left. Lin Xuekuang sat down to eat.

After paying the bill, before Wei Lin returned to the hotel, Lin Xuekuang followed the advice of the grandfather and grandson to the east.

When passing by a restaurant again, he saw that the little boy did not go in this time, but stood waiting at the door, while the old lady bent over and counted the bottles one by one, her white hair fluttering in the wind.

The engineer's symptom should be "lost soul". After inadvertently breaking into the place of great evil, part of his soul was swallowed by the resentment inside. There is no way to cure it except to solve the resentment from the root. His family has suffered a lot this year One can imagine.

Lin Xuekuang stopped for a while, bought a catty of cake and two servings of hot oden, put them in plastic bags and handed them to the little boy.

"Thank you and grandma for what you told me just now, I will give you a small gift, and I wish your father a speedy recovery."

After speaking, Lin Xuekuang patted his head, turned and left.

He walked towards the legendary haunted house.

The location here is a bit remote, and since the fire broke out, it has become even more inaccessible, and it has almost become a wasteland in this city of every inch of land.

As the night deepened, the incomplete three-story building looked like a ferocious monster under the hazy moonlight, with a half-cracked mouth full of fangs, as if impatiently wanting to swallow everything in front of it.

When Lin Xuekuang walked closer, he could already see that the villa was just like this, and there were some entertainment venues around it. There was a rusty boat on the shore, indicating that this place should not be a residential building, but was originally rented out. place for vacation.

Half of the villa burned down, the other half seemed to be in good condition, and the two gates were closed tightly.

Lin Xuekuang picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the door.

His smashing seemed to be an understatement, but the sound of the stone piercing through the air was very urgent. There was only a "boom", and the two doors creaked open.

Lin Xuekuang didn't come close, so he stood a few meters away and waited for a while. Seeing that there was nothing unusual, he turned on the flashlight on his phone and walked in through the gate.

The fire must have been huge back then, the surrounding walls were smoked and blackened, charred wood and bricks were piled up all over the place, broken cobwebs hung precariously in the corners, the corpses should have been transported out, The overturned pieces of cups and plates are still there, presenting a decadent scene.

But there was no resentment, and no ghosts.

Lin Xuekuang walked up the wobbly stairs to the second floor. The road was easier than the first floor. At least there wasn't so much waste on the ground, so he didn't have to walk around.

He saw some snacks and picnic supplies piled up on the table and the ground respectively, and speculated that the people who gathered here should be a group of young people.

While flipping, a photo fell on the ground. Lin Xuekuang bent down to pick it up, and saw that it was a group photo of more than ten young people. They looked about eighteen or nineteen years old, with bright smiles and vitality.

But he always felt that something was wrong.

After staring at this photo for a while, Lin Xuekuang suddenly realized, why are the things on the second floor so well preserved?Even in this photo, even the traces of smoke are hard to see.

Thinking like this, he was about to raise his head and look around again, when he suddenly heard a crisp voice beside him laughing and saying, "Hey, why are you in a daze? Let's go out for a swim!"

The voice sounded without any warning, and it was very close at hand. Even Lin Xuekuang was a bold man who had been through life and death for countless times since he was a teenager, so he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

Instinctively, he leaped back, and at the same time turned around quickly, with his backhand poised to raise his back, a dagger with a sheath that was the length of his palm was already clasped between his fingers.

Lin Xuekuang's series of movements took less than two seconds, and his reaction was quick, but when he looked intently, he found that standing in front of him was a beautiful girl wearing a suspender skirt and sandals. Looking at the back of myself with a smile.

Lin Xuekuang turned his head slowly, and there was a young man standing behind him, holding a bottle of soda in his hand, and replied to the girl just now: "Okay, it's just too hot today, I'll drink some water."

The girl said: "Everyone is waiting, get a few more bottles, let's go out and drink on the beach."

Lin Xuekuang was standing between them, but the two of them turned a blind eye to him, their gazes pierced through him without hindrance, and they talked freely, and the clothes on their bodies were even less likely to be worn this season.

Lin Xuekuang suddenly raised his head, his eyes flicked over the white walls, clean floors, clear windows, and the bright sunlight outside, and he was even more surprised than before.

——Here is no longer the wreckage of the fire in reality, he has unknowingly walked into the illusion formed by the resentment of the undead!

Last time, in order to watch what happened before Qi Yanzhi's death, Lin Xuekuang took the initiative to go to the scene of the crime. The resentment there was timid and afraid to come out in front of him, but was aroused by Lin Xuekuang's provocation .

But this time, he was pulled into the obsession formed by this resentment without realizing the existence of resentment at all, and without realizing it, it can be seen how powerful the resentment of the undead here is.

After all, being burned to death is one of the most painful ways to die, and the hatred of the deceased is naturally not just for fun.

What he said to his grandparents was right, this place was indeed extremely dangerous, but Lin Xuekuang only thought for three seconds before deciding to stay and continue to check.

He picked up the photo just now, wiped his finger on the blade, blood had already seeped out, Lin Xuekuang wiped the blood horizontally across the photo, made a seal with one hand, and said in a low voice: "Looking at the face with the eye of the eye, the cave of the dead skeleton." God. There is nothing and nothing, and the mind is clear."

Inga formed, a golden light flashed on the photo, and in the group photo above, the bodies of five people suddenly turned into bones. These five skeletons stood with the remaining nine ordinary people, and opened their mouths to reveal their white teeth. Smiling, looking indescribably weird.

It seems that five of them died in the fire, and the remaining nine escaped by chance.The man and woman who spoke through Lin Xuekuang just now were among the dead.

Lin Xuekuang took out his mobile phone, called up the underworld mode specially made for Taoists, took a "click" on the photo he picked up just now, and saved this clue.

He walked to the window and looked down, and saw about five or six happy young people holding life buoys, beach chairs, parasols and other things, playing and going to the beach, and they couldn't see clearly from a distance.

There were faint voices and footsteps walking back and forth on the first floor, which should be the two men and women who just went down.

Lin Xuekuang went up to the third floor again, where the rest of the 14 people fiddled with their cameras to take pictures.

A girl said excitedly: "Ms. Gao is really interesting. The summer camp has been over for so many years, and you still invite us to come back to play together. The scenery here is absolutely amazing. Just take a picture and it will be a painting."

The person next to her suggested: "After Lao Liu and the others come back, let's take another group photo? The location will be taken as when I graduated that year, and it will be posted together with the old photos. Alas, it's a pity that no one is there. Come on, there are still a few more."

A boy laughed loudly and said: "Li Fei, you must remember wrong! How can we have photos when we graduated? Qi Mingfeng just jumped off the building, and the summer camp was immediately closed, and even the graduation certificates were sent to everyone's home. OK?"

He didn't do much when he said it, but after he finished speaking, the surrounding immediately fell into a strange silence. After realizing it, the boy scratched his head and said, "Then what, did I say the wrong thing?"

"Damn, you're going to die!"

Li Fei scolded: "What's the point of mentioning that? It's unlucky."

The boy muttered: "If you mention it, you will mention it. What can I do? He is a big man who is always nervous, and he sings with orchids like a woman. It is normal for him to go crazy and jump off a building. He pretends to be that Zhang Qiannv Still a ghost!"

"Singing opera" - Hearing these two words, Lin Xuekuang's heart shuddered.

At this point in the investigation of the case, it was Qi Yanzhi who inexplicably heard the singing, and now he finally found some vague connections.

And from the singing he heard a few times before, except for the time when Cui Kai played a prank, all the libretto came from Zheng Guangzu's "A Chinese Girl Leaving Soul", in which the protagonist is Zhang Qiannv in the boys' mouth.

His mind turned, and he quickly thought about the relationship between the whole thing, and at the same time secretly hoped that a few people would say more.

Too bad it's too late.

There was a loud bang from downstairs, and the floor under his feet trembled, as if the whole building was shaking, and the things on the table and shelves fell down with a clatter.

"what happened?!"

Just as the people upstairs were panicking, they only heard the sound of heavy and fast footsteps coming from the stairs outside, and then a man covered in blood and soot rushed in, with a ferocious face, like a ghost.

"what!!!!"

Amidst the horrified screams, the blood man yelled hoarsely: "What should I do? The gas stove exploded, and the downstairs is on fire!"

This is exactly the reenactment of the death scene of these people in the past.

When everyone was in chaos, Lin Xuekuang had already walked downstairs quickly. When he reached the second floor, thick black smoke had already choked up. He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, and stood at the stairs and looked down.

The fire started quickly, spreading as if everything in the house was inflammable. In just half a minute, the billowing smoke was replaced by red flames soaring into the sky, and the entire first floor was engulfed in flames. .

The wildly dancing flames danced desperately upwards, like innocent souls raising their arms and shouting, and they couldn't help but remind people of Qi Yanzhi and Cui Kai's weird dancing posture after being wrapped in costumes.

For the people in the scene at that time, these were deadly fires, but for Lin Xuekuang, this was a huge grievance that could tear people's souls apart. If he was burned to death in the grievances, then in reality will suffer the same damage.

Seeing that the flames had spread to the second floor, Lin Xuekuang turned over and ran up without hesitation, rushed to the window on the second floor, took off his coat with his backhand, pushed the window open, and jumped out.

At this time, even the window sills were scorching hot, and the courtyard below was also in flames. What Lin Xuekuang saw was a big tree with thick branches outside the window.

While jumping towards the big tree, he shook off the clothes in his hands, tossed and rolled them, and wrapped them around the tree trunk. Lin Xuekuang borrowed a little strength and successfully jumped up the tree trunk.

He squatted on the tree, turned his head to look at the raging fire and the people struggling in the fire, he could clearly see the situation on the first, second and third floors through the glass, and saw extremely strange scenes.

The two people on the first floor were the most injured before, and they were already dead at this time. Several people on the third floor reacted quickly and jumped from the upstairs wrapped in bedding when the fire just started.

Although the first few people suffered some injuries, none of them were life-threatening. Only the girl named Li Fei had her feet down when she jumped off the building, but Lin Xuekuang watched her body turn in mid-air for no reason. Turned 180°, it becomes head down and feet up.

Although he knew that everything before him had already happened, he still couldn't help stretching out his hand, and the next moment there was a muffled sound, Li Fei's head hit the stone on the ground and died on the spot.

Her brain burst, her neck was broken, her body stood still in mid-air for a moment, her legs kicked violently, and then she fell limply to the ground, and someone beside her uttered a horrified cry.

Of the five dead, three have died so far.

There are two other people upstairs, one is the girl who looked at the camera before, and the other is the boy who mentioned the incident of jumping off the building at the summer camp. The two of them wanted to jump down too, but after seeing Li Fei crashed to death, they didn't dare. wandering around the room.

Suddenly, the girl remembered something and said loudly, "Go to the roof! I know where the ladder is!"

She rushed to the door quickly, pulled out a folding ladder, and climbed up the ladder to the skylight on the roof. At this moment, the boy suddenly rushed over and shouted: "I'll come first!"

At this time, everyone showed their most real and hideous faces, and he grabbed the girl's calf with both hands, trying to drag her down.

The girl struggled hard, and the ladder kept shaking. She was not as strong as the boy, and was about to be torn off, but the floor under the boy's feet suddenly collapsed. He was caught off guard and fell down screaming.

The girl quickly climbed up, and when she reached the roof, she dared to turn her head and look down. She was shocked.

Lin Xuekuang said in his heart, there are four, the villa is damned, and there is almost no one left, so the girl who climbed on the roof is still not spared?

And they died so strangely and miserably, even Lin Xuekuang, who was as knowledgeable as Lin Xuekuang, couldn't help but feel chills in his heart after seeing these tragic scenes.

These people died so badly, the resentment in this ferocious place can be imagined, no wonder it has been abandoned for several years, the situation is still much more serious than he expected before he came in.

According to the old rules, when the last dead person dies, it is time for resentment to come back and launch an attack!

Leave now, or take this opportunity to look for more clues?

Lin Xuekuang hesitated for a while, but suddenly heard footsteps on the stairs again, which was quite unhurried.

There is a big fire downstairs, how could anyone come up?

Lin Xuekuang stared, but suddenly saw Wei Lin, who had been waiting before him, walking up the third floor with a dazed and shocked face, looking around while walking.
