Maybe Xiaoyi took too long to go downstairs to throw away the garbage. Uncle Ye and Aunt Zhang couldn't sit still, so they went downstairs to look for her with a flashlight.
Seeing Xiaoyi and Jiang Yue together from a distance, the worry on Aunt Zhang's face immediately turned into a smile of relief. She tugged on Uncle Ye's clothes and said, "Old Ye, let's wait aside for a while. Don't disturb the children."
Jiang Yue had seen the couple before Aunt Zhang discovered them.
"Uncle Ye, Xiaoyi is here!"
This voice shouted, and people in half the building could hear it.
It would be inappropriate for Uncle Ye and his wife to pretend not to see it any longer.
"Xiao Jiang, did you just come home?" Uncle Ye was calm. His daughter was still young, so he actually had no idea of marrying her, and he couldn't handle the fact that the family's status was not high enough to make her his wife.
Aunt Zhang is still as enthusiastic as ever: "Xiao Yue is back, why don't you come and sit at home? Xiao Yi, don't you have a lot of things to ask Xiao Yue about in your study?"
Xiaoyi followed her mother's temperament, and was charming and enthusiastic. She put her hands on Jiang Yue's forearm and pulled him tightly. This situation is like a kidnapping. It is absolutely impossible not to go.
Jiang Yue still had some questions and worries in his mind. After thinking about it, he didn't refuse. We’re already home anyway, so it wouldn’t be a waste to go to Uncle Ye’s house and sit there for a few minutes.
When they got home, Aunt Zhang pinned Jiang Yue to the sofa, and then kept moving all kinds of snacks and fruits onto the coffee table until there was no space left on the coffee table.
To be honest, Jiang Yue saw Aunt Zhang's enthusiasm and felt warm in his heart.
In this world, there are not many people who can treat you sincerely. It’s hard to find someone who has given you all your heart and soul without any reservations, even with a lantern.
They are just neighbors, and if they can do this, Jiang Yue can't help but accept his love.
"Uncle Ye, I want to have a few words with you alone."
What happened before was really weird. Jiang Yue was worried about what the ghost had done to Xiaoyi. If this leaves any sequelae, the whole family will not be able to live in peace in the future, and their lives may even be in danger.
At that moment, Jiang Yue was completely unsure whether the aura of immunity from all evil had killed that ghost.
"Honey, take Xiaoyi to the study and sit down for a while. Let us have a few words."
Only Jiang Yue and Uncle Ye were left in the living room.
Jiang Yue didn't speak in a hurry and rubbed his face with both hands.
After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Uncle Ye sincerely.
"Uncle Ye, what I'm about to say may be a bit unbelievable. If you don't believe it, just think it's the nonsense of a junior like me."
Uncle Ye's curiosity was aroused when he saw Jiang Yue being so serious.
"Xiao Jiang, tell me. Uncle Ye is a very open-minded person."
"Well, when we were downstairs just now, Xiaoyi...she bumped into something dirty."
"Dirty things?" Uncle Ye didn't understand the meaning of these words for a while.
"You...you mean?"
"Evil thing." Jiang Yue said seriously.
"I just returned to the community from outside..." Jiang Yue restored the previous events one by one. Except for the aura of being immune to all evil, no other details were left out.
Uncle Ye's expression kept changing as Jiang Yue told him. By the time Jiang Yue finished speaking, he was like a wooden pile and completely speechless.
"Uncle Ye, the rape and murder case today was in Unit 2 of Building 8, right?"
"What do you mean? The victim's resentment persisted and turned into a ghost? Wandering in the community and harming others? This...how is this possible?"
This is just a show on TV. In reality, few people who have received formal scientific education can accept it quickly and calmly.
"According to the folk saying, this is called a ghost asking for directions. It's really unbelievable. It's not surprising that Uncle Ye had this reaction. Logically speaking, if Xiaoyi didn't bring her to Unit 2 of Building 8, she should be fine. If she really did, then..."
"What will happen?" Although Uncle Ye didn't believe it, he still couldn't help asking.
"Yin and Yang are separated."
This answer was cruel, but Jiang Yue had to be cruel this time.
"Uncle Ye, go and ask Xiaoyi. Did the person asking for directions touch her, such as holding her hand, patting her shoulders, or grabbing her waist?"
Even if he didn't believe it at all, Jiang Yue's description was so terrifying that Uncle Ye didn't dare to neglect it. Anyway, there's nothing wrong with asking.
Xiao ran into the study and asked Xiaoyi a few words.
When he returned to the living room again, Uncle Ye's expression was obviously serious.
Obviously Xiaoyi also mentioned many details to him, which were completely consistent with Jiang Yue's description.
The sister who asked for directions was in Unit 2 of Building 8. It was very cold. A gust of wind blew by, and suddenly I couldn't open my eyes. When I opened them, the person who asked for directions was gone...
These details, taken at night, are indeed strange.
The most important thing is that the place where she and Jiang Yue met was obviously some distance away from the door of the unit downstairs. If you throw trash in the trash can at the door of your unit, you won’t be able to walk that far at all!
"Xiaojiang, Xiaoyi said that the person who asked for directions...patted her on the shoulder."
Jiang Yue stood up abruptly, his face becoming a little ugly on the spot.
"Uncle Ye, please ask Aunt Zhang to take Xiaoyi to the room. Take off her clothes and see if there are any marks on her body, especially where her shoulders were patted."
Uncle Ye was also panicked this time. Jiang Yue's movements and demeanor completely frightened him.
He ran back to the study, said a few words, and then hurried out and paced anxiously in the living room.
No matter how powerful a person is, when encountering such inexplicable strange things, fear will always prevail.
"ah!"
After a while, Aunt Zhang and Xiaoyi screamed at the same time.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Uncle Ye's voice trembled, and he rushed to the study.
"Handprints, handprints... Wuqing's handprints!" Aunt Zhang's face turned pale, and there was deep fear in her eyes, as if she had seen a ghost.
At this time, Jiang Yue didn't care to avoid suspicion and followed him into the study.
A black handprint was printed on Xiaoyi's right shoulder like a birthmark!
What is obviously different from the birthmark is that this fingerprint obviously has a strong sense of death! It has a gloomy aura, which makes people inexplicably frightened and creepy at the first sight!
"Old Ye, what is this?" Aunt Zhang was a woman after all, and she was already a little stunned.
Uncle Ye stepped forward, took a rag in his hand, and rubbed it hard on the fingerprints a few times.
All in vain.
This gloomy handprint seemed to have penetrated into the skin and flesh, without fading at all.
No matter how atheist you are, you will inevitably be shaken when faced with such horrific and strange things.
"Xiaoyi, you haven't had a tattoo, have you?"
Aunt Zhang glared at him: "What are you talking about? Yesterday we, mother and daughter, took a bath together. Today, we have tattoos under our noses all day long? You can't think of that! How old is Xiaoyi?"
Xiaoyi was confused before, but seeing her parents so nervous, she finally became a little worried.
"Brother Jiang Yue, is Xiaoyi an evil spirit?"
"Yes, Xiao Yue, what on earth is going on?" Aunt Zhang was confused.
If Jiang Yue wanted to explain clearly, this matter would really embarrass him.
He only came into contact with these a few days earlier than Uncle Ye and the others. When he was a child, he heard his grandfather tell many strange folk tales.
There are many rumors among the people that resentment turns into evil spirits, but in fact Jiang Yue has never witnessed it with his own eyes before.
until……
I just personally experienced a ghost beating a wall.
That pale and bloodless hand, that weird female student asking for directions, that timid and shy face hidden in the darkness...
"Uncle Ye, wait a minute, I'll make a call."
I found Officer Han's phone number from the address book and dialed it directly without caring about whether the time was right.
Officer Han has been on a roll these past few days. Sun Bin, the murderer who had just conducted a surprise trial in the Crescent Harbor rape and murder case, was lying tiredly on his office chair, gathering his thoughts.
When his cell phone rang, he answered it immediately when he saw it was Jiang Yue.
"Officer Han, I want to confirm whether the victim in today's Crescent Harbor case is a girl from Star City No. 3 Middle School? She lives in Unit 2 of Building 8?"
"That's right. You should be able to find out about your community, right?"
"Officer Han, there is something very important that I need your help with. Can you send me a photo of the victim? No need for a scene photo, a ID photo, or a daily life photo!"
"This..." Officer Han hesitated.
Discipline aside. It is morally unjustifiable to disseminate the victim's photos as a matter of great importance to a person's death.
"Officer Han, if I told you that there is a monster more terrifying than the Year Eater, would you still hesitate?"
"What?" Officer Han's fatigue suddenly dissipated and he sat up.
"Xiao Jiang, are you kidding me?" The psychological shadow left by the Year Eater has not yet dissipated. If something more powerful were to come, Officer Han felt that he would collapse in minutes.
"Can this kind of thing be a joke?" Jiang Yue sighed, "Waiting for your photo."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yue held the phone, switching from left hand to right hand, and from right hand to left hand, looking slightly anxious.
Officer Han was still able to carry it clearly and sent a photo of the victim’s ID a few dozen seconds later.
Click to take a look.
Jiang Yue's expression suddenly changed.
It's that face!
Even the ID photo shows a bit of timidity and shyness, with a very recognizable expression.
"Xiao Yi, come and take a look. Is this the sister who asked you for directions?"
No matter how long Xiaoyi's reflex arc was, she was obviously scared in this atmosphere. Hesitantly, he looked at Jiang Yue's cell phone.
"Ah! It's her!" Xiaoyi's face suddenly turned pale, she covered her eyes with her hands, screamed, and shrank into her mother's arms.
Uncle Ye's family listened to the phone call between Jiang Yue and Officer Han just now, so they naturally knew who was in the photo.
She asked in a trembling voice: "Xiaoyi, if you look carefully again, is it her?"
Xiaoyi kept digging into her mother, trembling and frightened: "I don't want to see, I don't want to see!"
"Lao Ye, don't you think the child is scared enough!?"
Jiang Yue's ears suddenly twitched, and his expression immediately changed. He raised one finger with a solemn expression, and pressed his other hand down in a silent gesture.
Through the security door, Jiang Yue heard the sound of the elevator opening.
Then——
Boom, boom, boom...
There were strange knocks on the door, sometimes soft and sometimes heavy.
It felt like an ignorant child causing trouble outside the door.
The people in the room were breathing hard.
Uncle Ye's family of three had horror written all over their faces.
He was trembling like a quail, his face was earthy, and his whole body was completely occupied by fear.
Their upper and lower teeth were chattering, and their eyes didn't even dare to look in the direction of the door.
It seemed that if they looked over there, boundless terror would engulf them.
A heart rose in his throat.
Boom, boom, boom...
The irregular knocking on the door sounded again!
