Then, under the suspicious gaze of everyone, Chen Xiaoyao continued with a serious expression: "However, although the ghost this time is a fierce ghost, it is actually very likely to be different from ordinary ghosts."
"Everyone knows that there are many ways for ghosts to advance. Although there are many types, the whole thing is supported by resentment. That is to say, the stronger the hatred when a person dies, the more powerful the soul will be after death. By the way Kong Ling, when you were observing at the entrance of the village before, in addition to the hanging female ghost, you seemed to have also seen a red mist covering the village, right?"
"Well, there is indeed a red mist covering the village." Faced with Chen Xiaoyao's deliberate inquiry, Kong Ling answered truthfully, but then quickly changed the subject and said suspiciously: "But it's strange. In my personal impression, the ghost's resentment It’s always black, and often in the form of black mist, but this time the mist is actually red?”
Seeing Kong Ling's affirmation, on the opposite side, Chen Xiaoyao ignored the girl's subsequent doubts and said again without stopping: "It seems that my guess is right. The red mist does exist. If this is true, then things will be a bit tricky."
"Tricky?" After hearing this, everyone, including Kong Ling, showed a puzzled expression. Some of them couldn't figure out what Chen Xiaoyao was expressing. Among them, Li Tianheng was the most direct. In line with the principle of asking if you don't understand, the young man stared. He closed his eyes and said curiously: "Tricky, why is Red Mist so troublesome? Isn't Red Mist resentful?"
"It's resentment. It's the same as the black mist mentioned by Kong Ling. In fact, the red mist is also resentment, but the difference is that the nature of the red mist is different from that of the black mist!"
Xu Shi wanted to keep the story short. After casually admitting that the red mist was still filled with resentment, the next moment, Chen Xiaoyao's expression changed again, from a serious face just now to a face full of bitterness. Finally, he said something that shocked everyone. :
"Although the red mist can be regarded as resentment, it belongs to the resentment after advanced level. It is a whole level higher than the black mist. Ordinary ghosts will never be able to release resentment of this color. Only ghosts who have reached some ultimate peak can. Possess red resentment!”
Ding!
There is no reason, no reason. Just after Chen Xiaoyao said those words himself, everyone on the other side, except for the newcomers, felt their hearts were high. Everyone who had some experience in the task all changed their expressions. Except for their faces, which turned pale, they suddenly felt bad. , Cheng Ying frowned, and at the same time asked tentatively in an uncertain tone: "Could it be a peak-level ghost?"
The so-called peak-level ghost refers to a form that a ghost evolves through killing or other methods. To put it bluntly, it is a high-level ghost, a ghost whose strength is higher than that of regular ghosts, although its nature is still limited to that of a ghost. category, but the strength has already approached a higher level, and is only one step away from a qualitative change. Chen Xiaoyao has analyzed peak-level ghosts for everyone before, and the executor has also encountered peak-level ghosts. Because of this, he is listening After Chen Xiaoyao's words, everyone would be frightened, and Cheng Ying would realize something, so she asked Chen Xiaoyao if this was the peak level of the devil.
I thought that Chen Xiaoyao would definitely nod directly, but what surprised Cheng Ying and everyone was...
After Cheng Ying finished speaking, opposite Chen Xiaoyao nodded first, and then shook his head. Only when everyone's confused expressions became more obvious, Chen Xiaoyao smiled bitterly, and then said something to Cheng Ying:
"What you said is both right and wrong. From a broad perspective, this female ghost is indeed a peak-level powerful ghost. But if we use Red Mist as a reference, then this female ghost belongs to the pinnacle of peaks and has reached the peak level. I have reached the ultimate peak that Li Gui can reach, and there is only the last half step left to advance again!"
……………
"My ability and knowledge all come from the teachings of my master. According to what my master said, ghosts have grievances, and grievances are black. The deeper the black is, the deeper it becomes red. The red color is the qualitative change caused by the grievances that are deep enough to a certain extent. At the same time, it is also The best proof that Li Gui is about to advance."
Under the curious listening of Cheng Ying and other teammates, Chen Xiaoyao talked and told all the reasons why he could easily know the strength of the female ghost. In a nutshell, based on the red mist that Kong Ling witnessed, Chen Xiaoyao Xiaoyao determined that the female ghost was the peak of the fierce ghosts, and it was still the peak among the peaks. It was only half a step away from a complete qualitative change. As for what the female ghost would advance into after the complete qualitative change, the answer was self-evident.
"Do you understand now? Everyone finally knows why I said that this mission is difficult. It's not an exaggeration, but it is the fact. This mission is a big test for us. If we are not careful, we will be in trouble. Finished."
After completing the popularization of spiritual knowledge, Chen Xiaoyao began to smile bitterly. Although he had a calm temperament and could face many crises calmly, Chen Xiaoyao still pretended to cry when it was obviously not good for him. One can imagine the tearless expression. Even Chen Xiaoyao, who had always been calm and calm, was full of bitterness. Needless to say, there was no need to say anything else about the others. As expected, after listening to the explanation, apart from being empty and calm, Cheng Ying's The curious expression disappeared, replaced by paleness, and he was as frightened as Tang Meng who was standing next to him. Peng Hu and Li Tianheng were so frightened that their limbs were cold and their foreheads were sweating. Chen Shuihong was simply spinning and his whole body was shaking. ! If Cheng Ying hadn't quickly helped him up, the fat man would have collapsed on the spot, but even if his body was held by Cheng Ying, Chen Shuihong's body was still weak during the shaking, and then he looked up in panic as if he suddenly thought of something. , asked Chen Xiaoyao the question that concerned him the most: "Wait a minute, Brother Chen, you, you just said that the female ghost is about to advance. How long will it take? How long will it take?"
As mentioned above, although Chen Shuihong is the bravest in the team, his question is exactly on point. In fact, after learning about the strength level of the female ghost, everyone present instinctively thought of one question, that is, the female ghost When will the ghost advance! ?
"Well..."
Seeing Chen Shuihong mentioning the important point with fear, and seeing other people also casting nervous glances at the same time, Chen Xiaoyao felt the pressure instantly on the opposite side! Fortunately, he is not an ordinary person. In the face of pressure, Chen Xiaoyao can tolerate it. He just shook his head and said truthfully: "I definitely don't know when to advance. However, according to common sense, when killing people, killing After reaching a certain level, the female ghost will naturally advance."
"Damn! Aren't you talking nonsense? Who doesn't know that ghosts always kill people on sight?" As soon as Chen Xiaoyao finished speaking, Peng Hu, who was already nervous, lost his composure. He jumped out and said with a glare: "But The problem is that we don’t know how many people the female ghost needs to kill to advance. If she advances after the mission is over, there will definitely be no problem, and it will have nothing to do with us then. But if she suddenly advances during the mission, then, Then we will be in danger..."
Having said this in a panic, Peng Hu took a breath and was about to say more, but before he could open his mouth, a bland rhetorical question suddenly came from behind him: "Do you think we are not in danger now?"
Um?
After hearing this, everyone, including Peng Hu, turned around and saw Zhao Ping staring at everyone expressionlessly. As Peng Hu and others turned back one after another, he adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose and straightened his suit. Tie, the man continued: "Remember, we don't need to care about when the female ghost will advance. This kind of thing is not something that humans can prevent, it is a force majeure factor. Now we only need to know the current strength level of the female ghost. That’s it.”
Yes, the above is the key, and this is also the main reason why Zhao Ping asked Chen Xiaoyao to explain the situation. In fact, from the moment Xiaojuan learned the context of the entire incident, Zhao Ping was vaguely aware that the situation was not good, and through Xiaojuan Juan recounted that he discovered that A Cui was filled with hatred when he died. Not only did he hate Liu Chenghai who persecuted him, he even hated the entire villagers of Qiuye Village, so much so that resentment enveloped the entire village! In addition, Kong Ling had indeed witnessed a bloody red mist that was different from the black mist. After analyzing this, Zhao Ping began to panic. He always felt that this female ghost was unusual. Although he felt that it was unusual, he could not tell it. This was why Chen Xiaoyao, who was familiar with yin and yang, was asked to explain. It was not until Chen Xiaoyao fulfilled his expectations and explained the key points that Zhao Ping finally figured out what he was worried about, that is...
The female ghost is very strong, she is actually a top-notch powerful ghost, a Netherworld Evil One who is only half a step away from being equal to the invincible one!
Not only that, what is even more terrifying is yet to come. As we all know, Li Gui is an extremely powerful type of ghost, possessing supernatural powers that humans cannot imagine. They basically have no consciousness, and the meaning of their existence is to kill. It is true that Li Gui has no consciousness and basically kills. It is an indiscriminate killing, but the remaining consciousness of the evil spirit will still prefer the area where it died to kill.
And the area where A Cui died... was exactly this Red Leaf Village!
This vengeful ghost transformed from the soul of A Cui after his death will definitely not let anyone in the village go, and this naturally includes several reporters from Liu Guangshui and the entire execution team!
According to the normal logic of an enforcer, the smartest thing to do after learning about this incident is to escape before the evil ghost starts killing the village. Unfortunately, under the forcible restrictions of the curse rules, the enforcer has already died. The death limit was limited to the village, and there was no way to escape. It was no longer possible to use escape to deal with the crisis.
Zhao Ping's plain reminder was easily understood by everyone, but then again, even if the source of the crisis is clear, there are still optimistic people in the world. As soon as he understood Zhao Ping's meaning, although his heart was beating fast and he was sweating, Li Tianheng still comforted himself. He reminded himself and told himself not to be afraid, and at the same time forced a cameo appearance as He Fei, and then imitated He Fei’s tone and cheered everyone up: “By the way, Xiao Juan seems to be A Cui’s best friend during his lifetime, and the two of them kissed Like sisters, I think even if A Cui turns into a ghost and takes revenge on the village after his death, at least he won't attack Xiao Juan, right? We are currently living at Xiao Juan's house, maybe..."
Huh?
Li Tianheng behind did not continue, but everyone still understood the meaning instantly. Not to mention, when Li Tianheng mentioned it like this, everyone who was still trembling with fear just now was startled, and then their faces gradually improved, and some people even secretly said He breathed a sigh of relief, and his expression of rejoicing was obvious. Yes, although Li Tianheng's remarks just now were just a relief, it was undeniable that they were very reasonable. If the evil ghost transformed by Atui really started to kill indiscriminately in the village, then as a It stands to reason that Xiaojuan, his closest friend during his lifetime, would not be involved. It is true that most ghosts are unconscious, but it is often said that ghosts will always have some memories of their lives. Liu Chenghai, who was hurt the most by A Cui, would not be the first to be killed. According to this logic, maybe, maybe the female ghost might really let Xiao Juan go!
And once the female ghost lets Xiao Juan go, the executor living in Xiaojuan's house will also have a certain chance of survival. It is precisely this point that is difficult to determine the chance, but now it has become the executor's glimmer of hope. If they are lucky enough, everyone will It is still possible to survive to the end with this.
Of course, although the above conjecture is reasonable, in fact, everyone does not think this is a good way. If they can, they will definitely not choose this evasive method which is not much different from waiting to die. Instead, they will take the initiative to solve it. It's true to say that a female ghost is missing, but the problem is that they can't do anything about it! In fact, as early as the beginning of the conversation with Xiaojuan, Cheng Ying specifically asked where A Cui's grave was. Zhao Ping also asked about A Cui's personal life experience. The purpose of this question is self-evident, that is, to find A Cui. Breakthrough to see if they could find a way to eliminate the threat of the female ghost. Unfortunately, they failed. The reason for the failure was also very simple. That is, A Cui's life experience was unremarkable. There were no doubts worth paying attention to during her lifetime, and the tomb where the body was buried was It is located outside the village and has long been far away from the village. Precisely because the tomb is located outside the village, the so-called carrier guess cannot be put into practice.
Obviously, because they had just experienced a villa mission and were looking for corpses throughout the process, after entering Qiuye Village, everyone who knew the identity of the female ghost subconsciously doubted whether the female ghost had a carrier, and thus guessed whether the corpse and the female ghost had a carrier. Whether there is any connection between them, the idea is certainly a good one, but it is a pity that A Cui is buried outside the village. Regardless of whether the female ghost has a carrier or not, the executor cannot leave the village to check.
It is conceivable that what can the executor do when there is no way to deal with it? In desperation, they, who are just ordinary mortals, can only retreat and defend. At least until they find a way out of the situation, everyone must temporarily hide at Xiaojuan's house.
so……
After scanning the reactions of everyone present, with a strong sense of unwillingness, Zhao Ping issued an order: "Listen, from now on, we'd better not leave the village chief's house before we find a way out."
"Ms. Tang, Mr. Zhao, why are you out?"
At the same time, just when everyone had made up their mind to retreat and Zhao Ping had finished speaking, Xiaojuan, who was still crying alone in the room, came out and saw the crowd coming to the yard at some point. Xiaojuan still had tears in her eyes. Asked out of curiosity, similarly, when he saw Xiaojuan coming to the yard, even if he was thinking about it, everyone's discussion could only come to an end first. However, Kong Ling felt pity for Xiaojuan the moment he saw her. Xu felt pity for this age and A girl who is similar to her but has lost her best friend now. As soon as Xiaojuan came out, Kong Ling ran up to her, hugged Xiaojuan, and then comforted her softly: "Xiaojuan, you don't have to be sad. Those people who did bad things will be gone." Retribution is about to happen, don’t worry, these people won’t live long..."
"Huh? Live, how long can you live?"
(Oops!)
Seeing that what Kong Ling said was about to be leaked, everyone was shocked. Among them, Tang Meng reacted very quickly. Before Kong Ling could finish speaking, the female doctor hurriedly spoke and changed the subject to Xiaojuan: "We have just treated you Everything that was narrated has been recorded, don’t worry, after we return we will write down the matter and publish it in the newspaper to let the world know.”
"Really? That's great. Sister A Cui can finally be redressed!"
"Thank you, Miss Tang, thank you all!"
Seeing that Tang Meng clearly expressed her willingness to report this matter, Xiaojuan was immediately overjoyed and didn't care about what Kong Ling said. She hurriedly expressed her gratitude to Tang Meng and others. As for Tang Meng...
Although she forced a smile and nodded, there was still a lingering coldness in her heart!
………
Perhaps in the eyes of people who are accustomed to the fast-paced life in the city, time has always passed very quickly, but in the eyes of the villagers of Qiuye Village, the situation is completely opposite, and the long-term lifestyle of sunrise and sunset is the most important thing. Good evidence. This is true for other Hongye Village villagers, but how is it true for Liu Chuanlan?
Liu Chuanlan is an ordinary villager in Qiuye Village. She is in her early thirties. Although she is just an ordinary village woman, because rural life has always been boring, Liu Chuanlan has undoubtedly developed a habit of chatting, which is often seen in rural areas. A common sight is that whenever they have free time, a group of women will gather to chat, and the topics are often unproductive gossip.
There is no doubt that Liu Chuanlan is this kind of person. Especially after learning about A Cui's rape two months ago, it was as if he had discovered big news. Liu Chuanlan chatted with other women in high spirits. After this incident, she almost chatted with and talked to everyone she met. Although this was a personal hobby, it also really played a role in fueling the flames. Not only did she fuel the flames by talking behind her back, her attitude towards Acui also changed rapidly. Every time she saw it, When she passed by A Cui, she would spit at his lonely back and curse at him just enough for A Cui to hear:
"Bah! Broken shoes!"
That period was Liu Chuanlan's most active time. It was not until A Cui committed suicide, or in other words, after seeing A Cui's deathly and hideous body that Liu Chuanlan stopped talking about it because she felt panic! An emotion called uneasiness quietly emerged in her and even the hearts of the whole village. Gradually, I don’t know whether it was intentional or unintentional. Ever since they saw A Cui’s body, the villagers had tacitly chosen to shut up and not talk about it. Due to this incident, the name 'A Cui' has gradually become a taboo word that the villagers are unwilling to mention.
until……
Until today, until Liu Chenghai hanged himself inexplicably!
With Liu Chenghai's inexplicable suicide, the panic that had gradually faded quietly revived in Liu Chuanlan's heart.
Time, 17:52 in the evening.
The sun sets at the foot of the mountain and night is approaching. Liu Chuanlan, who has been busy in the fields for a day, and his neighbor Zhang Yuhong are both carrying hoes and rushing towards the village. Since they are neighbors and both of them like to chat, they are indispensable along the way. What to say, and the topic is still the most common shortcomings of the boss and the Li family, but...
Maybe he had some doubts about Liu Chenghai's death. As he walked, Liu Chuanlan changed the subject with a complicated face: "I said that he was Yuhong's sister-in-law. I always felt that something was wrong. Liu Chenghai, a bachelor, didn't look like him at all. He is a suicidal person, and he does not owe foreign debts, so how can he commit suicide just because he committed suicide?"
"Who, who knows, maybe he did something immoral, and finally he hanged himself due to uneasy conscience." When she heard that the other party suddenly mentioned Liu Chenghai, Zhang Yuhong, who had been chatting happily just now, suddenly felt nervous and didn't know what to do. In reply, he had no choice but to make a casual guess. The guess was a guess, but if you look closely, you will find that Zhang Yuhong's tone was weak and her expression was slightly unnatural.
The reason why it was unnatural came from the fact that she had been to the scene during the day and watched Liu Chenghai's body with other villagers. The death of Liu Chenghai was simply terrifying, and it didn't look like suicide no matter how you looked at it. Although on the surface Liu Chuanlan and Liu Chuanlan When Zhang Yuhong mentioned this matter, they both agreed that Liu Chenghai committed suicide. However, they both held opposite attitudes in their hearts. Not only did they hold opposite attitudes, but as soon as they talked about Liu Chenghai, they unconsciously thought of something else. One person, another dead person whose name they did not want to mention at all. .
Because she really didn't want to talk about it anymore, Zhang Hongyu pretended to be relaxed and continued: "Hey! Why are we talking about Liu Chenghai? He is dead, so what does it have to do with us?"
"Yes, yes, don't say this, don't say this anymore."
With a few words of forced smiles, the two women soon stopped talking in a tacit understanding, and then they continued to walk without saying anything. They thought that the matter would come to an end, but who would have thought that right on the road between them? When they were sitting in the low City God's Temple that they had to pass by every day when they went home, a sudden voice came out in the darkness, which scared the two of them to the point of peeing!
"Hello, two sisters-in-law."
"ah!"
"Who? Who!?"
Just after the sound, Liu Chuanlan, who was almost paralyzed by fright, hurriedly turned around and asked who it was. After he completely saw the big living person standing behind him, he patted his chest that was beating wildly. Then they took a long breath and wiped their hands with cold sweat. As the initial panic gradually dissipated, what happened next became predictable...
"Is there something wrong with you? Your soul is scared out of your mind!"
"That's right. I was really scared to death just now. Are you sick? Or do you city dwellers always have this kind of hobby?"
As expected, as soon as it was confirmed that the false alarm was a false alarm, an emotion called anger emerged instantly. Then, before the man in front of him could say anything, the two women began to curse almost at the same time, especially Liu Chuanlan. , and then asked the other party a more critical question:
"By the way, you, what are you doing here?"
