Although it was only a soft sound, I heard it carefully and clearly. But judging from the sound, it was made out of laughter. However, judging from the tone and rhythm, it is not really laughing, but a very deliberate sound. Instead of being happy, there is a hint of sneer in the mood.
Before my brain could react to the sudden laughter, my body had already made a move to escape. I quickly took a few steps towards the center of the yard, then turned my head and looked at isolation room No. 2. There was nothing but the dark door. I even shined a flashlight into the empty isolation room, but still didn't find anything.
The laughter just now was undoubtedly the sound made by ghosts. Because there are only three bed boards in my isolation room and not even a shelter, it is naturally impossible for anyone to hide in it without being discovered. As for why this voice is laughing, I guess it is probably because the deceased in the past were basically mentally disturbed people, so the pain of death and the sadness of turning into ghosts after death may not be felt by these dead souls.
Master probably saw my unusual behavior just now, so he was a little worried. He asked me through the iron railing what happened. I told Master that when I went out just now, I heard laughter coming from the house. I thought this was the ghost who was going to harm people tomorrow. Master said to me, since it has appeared, you should quickly light the incense and let the soldiers confirm it. After saying this, Master threw three sticks of incense to me through the iron railing. So I quickly called out the soldiers and horses and lit incense. Without any surprise, the smoke went straight to isolation room No. 2.
But I didn't dare to enter the house again, because I was afraid that the weird sneer would appear again after I entered. And I knew my personality well. Without any safety guarantee, I would not dare to go in and seek death rashly.
The trend of Bingmaxiang tells me that at this moment, isolation room No. 2 is filled with a relatively strong ghost. Because the smoke did not enter the isolation room directly, but dispersed directly at the door. It's as if there is an invisible but transparent wall that blocks out the smoke of my soldiers and horses.
This situation seems to be telling me that the ghost in this isolation room at the moment is using its own way to block the entry of my soldiers and horses. It not only blocks it, but also blocks it. In other words, my soldiers and horses seem to have no effect on the ghosts in the room at the moment.
The soldiers and horses are here to do things for me, but when they encounter some unreasonable ghosts, they actually have nothing to do. This is a dangerous signal for me. If I can't even do anything about the rampant soldiers who are also composed of dead souls, I think I need to think of something in another direction.
I retreated to the iron railing, told Master the situation, and told him that otherwise the two of us would force our way in together. If there was any resistance, we could just clean it up and save so much trouble. This was originally the simplest and crudest method and could solve the problem the fastest, but it might cause trouble for the ghost in the isolation room. Although they exist for the purpose of harming others, in the end they themselves will be harmed and die. So Master did not allow me to do this. Instead, he turned to Long Jiyou and said, "That crazy woman who knocked on the door, can you take her out alone? I'll try to find a way to talk."
Long Jiyou said that it was possible, but this woman's speech was very unclear and she was basically unable to communicate. Moreover, she was somewhat aggressive, crazy, and not very emotionally stable. But the master insisted on looking for her, so Long Jiyou could only take out the key and open the door of the women's dormitory.
In fact, the women's dormitory is isolation room No. 8 among the nine isolation rooms, and all female interns are detained in it. After Long Jiyou opened the door, he took one of the unkempt women out into the dam. The master also walked in at this time. He asked Long Jiyou to leave the dam first, lock the iron door, and stand far away.
Although this woman looks like a beggar, judging from her age, she is only in her thirties. Although her hair is messy, judging from the length, it should have been trimmed not long ago. The shelter does not have the conditions to clean up the image of the inmates, otherwise these people would not look dirty. This means that this woman should have entered the shelter not long ago, and because someone specially arranged her hair, it means that someone was taking care of her before she arrived at the shelter.
She just stood timidly in front of the master, with her shoulders slightly hunched, and she did not dare to look directly at my master, but looked down slightly at the ground behind us. Her hands were rubbing her fingers together. Although her feet were in an upright position, her knees were slightly bent. She seemed to be afraid of me and my master, but she didn't dare to run away.
The master said softly to the woman, I heard that you knocked on the door today, can you tell me why you did that? The woman didn't answer and turned a deaf ear. The master asked again, I also heard that this is not the first time you hit the door like this. Every time you hit the door, is it because you saw something?
In fact, I have also thought about this. Sometimes people tend to regard people who are frightened by ghosts or even have personal opinions about ghosts as a type of mental illness. In other words, some seemingly abnormal people will be judged as mentally ill by the world using unified standards, but in fact they just see things that are different from us. Originally, when I was having dinner with Master in the restaurant, I proposed to ask this woman because of this consideration, because her behavior of knocking on the door was obviously directly related to the ghost in isolation room No. 2. This There is a direct relationship, and it is most likely that she can see ghosts.
In metaphysics, this is called yin and yang eyes.
People with yin and yang eyes are mostly related to their physical constitution. Excessive weakness will cause the person to be closer to death than a healthy person, so ghosts can sometimes be seen. I have also seen the appearance of ghosts. Although most of them look like human beings, their faces are ferocious and filled with the aura of death. This aura of death will naturally resist living people, even lunatics. If this woman really has yin and yang eyes, I have no way of telling whether she first had yin and yang eyes and was frightened by ghosts for a long time and became like this, or whether she went crazy first and then started to see ghosts.
But this woman still didn't answer Master's words. I was a little anxious and wanted to interrupt, but Master gave me a "leave it alone" gesture, so I could only stare from the side. The master saw that she still didn't answer and didn't even change her posture, so the master asked in a slightly stern tone, do you know that every time you knock on the door, someone will die in that room? Are you a murderer? Yeah, I'm going to punish you.
At this time, the woman raised her hands to her chest, waving them left and right, raised her face, and faced the master with a face full of tears. She was babbling as if she was arguing about something, and her tone was a little anxious, but none of us could Don't understand what she wants to express. However, judging from her reaction after Master's question, she could understand the meaning of Master's words. This shows that as long as a method is found, there is no problem of being unable to communicate.
When I thought of this, I also followed Master's example and said in a somewhat fierce tone, if you don't tell me why you knocked on the door, we will throw you into the isolation room, and the people you killed will be there. Inside, when you go in, you will be killed by them!
Maybe my tone was a little more fierce than Master's. After hearing this, the woman looked extremely anxious. Her feet began to move in small steps, her hands kept waving in front of her chest, and her head He also started shaking, looking like he wanted to deny it but didn't know how to express it. She muttered some words, mostly consisting of two or three words, with a relatively obvious accent. If you didn't distinguish carefully, you wouldn't know what she was saying. She was talking nonsense while pointing to her head, and then pointed to the door of isolation room No. 2. Among her vague words, Master and I heard a few words clearly.
"Stuck", "Bad guy", "Run quickly", "Big mouth".
The woman kept repeating these words, pointing at isolation room No. 2 and shouting while repeating. In Sichuan dialect, the word "Ka" means pinching with hands. Therefore, when women say "stuck someone to death," it should mean strangling someone to death. "Bad person" probably means that she saw the ghost, and because it was scary, she thought it was a bad person. "Run quickly" is easier to understand. It should be what she said to ask the people in isolation room No. 2 to run away, and "big mouth" should be referring to the appearance of the ghost. After all, the previous deceased people all died from suffocation. Death, suffocation will make people open their mouths. And because someone would not die until the day after the woman went crazy and knocked on the door, this means that the person was still alive and well at that time, but the ghost was already in the house at that time.
I couldn't help but think of the sneer just now. In fact, the current situation was very consistent with what the woman said. Although no one was dead in the room at this moment, it was an indisputable fact that the ghost was already there. In this way, the woman's words plus my speculation, she should be saying that she saw a bad guy with a big mouth, who was about to choke another person's neck. She was scared, but wanted to save this person, so she appeared The act of banging on the door.
If this is the case, it would be a pity for such a kind woman.
At this moment, Master suddenly walked up behind me, put his arms around my neck, and then reached out and grabbed my throat. He didn't use any force on his hands, but when his rough palms came into contact with my neck, I couldn't help but feel goosebumps all over my body. Master’s understanding of the woman’s words should be the same as mine. He probably choked my neck to make the woman’s image reappear and to think of more things. But unexpectedly, as soon as Master completed this action, the woman suddenly went crazy. The master pounced on me. Fortunately for the master, when he saw the woman pounce, he immediately let go and stood aside. Because I couldn't react in time, the woman threw me directly to the ground.
She began to claw at my face crazily, screaming heart-wrenchingly, as if I was the ghost that was causing harm. I had to cover my face with my hands while struggling to turn over and stand up. After finally breaking free, the woman was pulled left and right by Master and Long Jiyou and stuffed back into the women's dormitory. After closing the door, she grabbed the railing on the door and yelled at me.
Although the skin on my face was not broken, there were still several scratches on my face. I was so shocked that I turned to look at Master, who was looking at me with a bit of schadenfreude. That sly look seems to be saying, boy, are you feeling good now?
