Usually, apart from hospitals, the place where the mortality rate is relatively high is the prison. Because prisons are different from detention centers, detention centers only temporarily detain prisoners, while prisons are places where prisoners need to be reformed through labor after being convicted. There are many serious prisoners in prison, even those on death row. As a result, prisoners in the prison are often taken away and shot because it is time to go on the road. The remaining criminals whose release date is far away are reluctant to beheaded, making them even more lawless. Maybe he was destined to die anyway, so he took some people to be buried with him.
Therefore, the prison can almost be said to be a place with the death rate second only to the hospital. However, the place we are in now is just a reception center. Although the management method is somewhat similar to that of a prison, after all, these people are not prisoners, but more of patients. . When Long Jiyou said that four people died in a row in more than a month, I was still surprised, because this means that on average one person dies every week. For a shelter, this rate seems to be high. point.
Long Jiyou told the master that what was really suspicious about this incident was that every time someone died, it was someone who died in the same isolation room. Four consecutive deceased persons were all imprisoned in the same room. Master said that it was possible that a person had died in this room before, and that person had turned into an evil spirit, so he kept killing people. As more and more people died, his own resentment became more and more intense. heavy, causing the frequency to become higher and higher.
Master used easy-to-understand words to explain his views to Long Jiyou. Then the Master asked, had anyone ever died in that cell before these four people? Long Jiyou said that he heard that a person died a year ago, but he had not come to work here at that time, so he needed to ask the webmaster to know the specific situation. It's just that this kind of thing is not a glorious thing in the first place, and I don't know how to speak to the webmaster. After the death of the fourth person a few days ago, the stationmaster came to say hello. This matter should not be spread to outsiders. These homeless people have no relatives to begin with, so they can just follow the funeral methods of unknown people. In order not to let people know that four of us died in just one month, and that we were being abused.
Long Jiyou said, so no one dares to publicize this matter, but they feel something is wrong. If this situation continues, sooner or later something will happen, and then the situation will be even more difficult to recover. These people who are imprisoned here are originally His life was pitiful, and his death in such an unexplained way did make people feel uncomfortable. So I hid it from the webmaster and secretly told my master.
Master turned around and told me that the first time he mentioned this matter to me was when he received the letter from Long Jiyou, so it has been almost a week since the last person died to today. If the death of four people in a row is not a pure coincidence, I'm afraid something strange is going to happen in the past few days.
Master asked, is there anyone else living in the isolation room for dead people? Long Jiyou said, be careful, new shelter personnel will be sent every day. The place is small to begin with, so there is no choice but to send them there. Master asked, is there any way to move all the people in that room to other rooms first, and then leave some time for me and my apprentice to investigate? Long Jiyou said that this time will come, but it is not a long-term solution, because none of us can say exactly when such a situation will happen again, and what if the people inside are transferred, and other troubles arise. What should I do if the room is gone?
Long Jiyou's worry is not unreasonable. After all, when Master and I come, we need a more thorough investigation to find the root of the problem, and such an investigation cannot be seen by other staff here. Otherwise, we Maybe I will live here for a long time. Long Jiyou is obviously on the night shift this month, but today he took over someone else's day shift. This means that if he counts tonight, he will have had two full nights plus one day without rest, and now there is only one night left. It is probably unrealistic for Master and me to investigate clearly in such a short period of time.
Master asked Long Jiyou, "So, each of your classes only has one guard and one person on duty, right?" Apart from that, is there no one else on this site? Long Jiyou said yes. There used to be a doctor in the station who was dedicated to protecting the health of these people. Now that they are being beaten like bandits outside, the doctor has been recruited by the militia team of the area revolutionary committee, saying that he is going to Send us another doctor, but it’s been almost half a year and we haven’t even seen him. Master asked, what about your webmaster? Don’t you come to check on your work every weekday? Long Jiyou said he would come, and he would come on the first day of every week, but he would only listen to our work reports, including the status of the inmates, etc. He would register once a week and then leave.
Master smiled and said, if that's the case, then the book he kept records in should be in your station, right? Can you take it out and show it to us? Long Jiyou quickly waved his hand and said that was not possible. The stationmaster had his own office, which was at the end of the row of houses you just passed by. The door was locked and no one except the stationmaster had the key. Even if you have the key, you won't know where the station manager has put it when you go in.
Master and I looked at each other and smiled, and then Master said, that's not a big problem. As long as we can find a way to get in, we will naturally find what we are looking for. Long Jiyou looked at the two of us hesitantly, as if my master and I were here to cause trouble.
Master asked Long Jiyou, apart from this, are there any other phenomena that you think are suspicious? You work the night shift. Has anything unusual happened here during your shift? Also, did those deaths occur during the day shift or the night shift?
Long Jiyou said that the specific time of death is not certain. It happened during the day and night. As for the unusual things, it is a bit weird to talk about. First of all, since the first person died, he was on the night shift. I would often hear some strange noises when I was walking, but every time when these sounds sounded, I would subconsciously listen carefully, but at this time, the sounds stopped again. Most of the time, this phenomenon can occur several times a night, but because I can't hear it when I focus on listening, I can't tell whether there is real movement or whether it is my hallucination.
He went on to say that there was another time that was even weirder. It was already two or three o'clock at night, and the reception staff had gone to bed long ago. He also walked out of the office to check after hearing strange noises, so he walked to the iron Beside the railing. Our small dam for shelter personnel has a light at night, which allows those on duty to see what is going on inside. When I came to take over my shift that afternoon, I had just heard from my colleagues on the day shift that a person had died in the isolation room in the morning. But that night, while I was standing smoking across the railing, under the light, I could vaguely see the dead person. When the isolation between people was established, there was a dark and hazy figure standing behind the iron railing door, looking at the isolation room opposite from a distance.
Long Jiyou said that he didn't pay attention at the time, thinking that one of the interns got up to urinate, but after throwing away the cigarette butt, he suddenly remembered that after the death in the morning, the isolation room was empty for a time, and there was no one at all. inside! So he looked carefully again and found that the original figure had disappeared.
Long Jiyou said frankly that it was the first time he was really scared. Since he had asked his master to deal with the ghost things around him many years ago, he had no doubt about the existence of these things. From that moment on , he realized that something was wrong, there was probably something dirty here.
It was precisely because of this thought that Long Jiyou couldn't help but rely on these aspects whenever there was any disturbance. Such suspicion really made him discover some strange phenomena. Long Jiyou told us that since he saw the figure behind the door that day, he noticed that every time someone was about to die, a receptionist in the women's dormitory would constantly hit his head with his head to kill him during an activity. The iron door of the isolation room.
Master and I both think this is an important clue, but we don’t know why. So Master asked Long Jiyou, could it be just a coincidence that this woman knocked on the door? Or does she only hit this door? Long Jiyou said that he thought it was a coincidence at first, but when he was chatting with his colleagues about this woman during the shift handover, he found that the colleague was also aware of the incident, but he did not go to it. Thinking about it this way, it means that this woman has to knock on that door several times every few days, as if she is ringing a death knell. As soon as she finishes ringing, someone will die the next day.
It was originally a joke, but it was a disguised form of telling Long Jiyou that in fact, the day before the first man died, this woman also knocked on the door. But such speculation was undoubtedly unfounded, so from that day on, Long Jiyou paid special attention to this woman's movements when he went to work. The night before the fourth person died, he happened to be on duty. After dinner, the shelter staff were given almost an hour of activity time. Long Jiyou saw that the woman had been squatting at the door of his isolation room, but suddenly she seemed to He danced like crazy, yelled and cursed, and then ran directly towards the door. First he punched and kicked the door, and then, as if he was exhausted, he started to use his forehead, Bang-dong-dong banging against the door. Then he walked away silently as if nothing was wrong.
Master asked, she was yelling, didn't you all pay attention? Long Jiyou said of course he paid attention, but half of the people detained here are delirious. This woman is simply a lunatic. What can you do to her? However, when Long Jiyou saw this scene, he still secretly paid attention to the interns in the isolation room. When he handed over his shift the next morning, there was still no abnormality. He also specifically told his colleagues to pay more attention to the people inside, but when he arrived, When I came back to hand over my shift that night, I found that another person in the room had died.
Long Jiyou held out four fingers, representing the four people who died before and after, and said a little helplessly, although there is still no evidence, I think this is simply too strange. This is why I need Master Lin to come. If there is really something evil here, you can use your magical power to collect it.
