Volume 2: Hundred Ghosts and All Beings Chapter 19: Ghost Mother Curse(1/2)
This room has simple furnishings and items from a long time ago.
The wooden lacquer-carved bookshelves are filled with many antiquities and classics, and even some extremely rare books.
A super thick black book is placed on the desk, and you can see it the first time you enter the room.
Gu Chuan noticed that the corners of the book were somewhat worn and seemed to have been read frequently. Out of curiosity, he wanted to pick it up and take a look.
Yu Hai mentioned the deceased at the side, "This man's name is Jiang Mingguo. He is still an unemployed vagrant in his thirties. He usually likes to collect classics, but most of the books he reads are of this rare type."
As he spoke, he randomly took out a few books from the bookshelf, the covers were almost all black.
"He didn't know where he copied this from, and it's not an authentic publication. He said he was a vagabond, but he actually underestimated him. With his perseverance, he couldn't do anything wrong. He just indulged in these false things day and night.
That’s all.”
On one of the books were written a few strong characters: Place of Rebirth.
"Is it possible that his suicide was mainly influenced by the book?"
Gu Chuan retracted his hand, turned around and picked a book that Yu Hai took off the bookshelf.
Take this book about the place of death. The first paragraph of the book uses a lot of pen and ink to describe everything that a person imagines and feels when he enters the so-called afterlife after death.
It gives people a feeling that besides being shocked, they are also worried about the author's abnormal mental state.
Gu Chuan closed the book, and then he noticed the author written on the spine of the book - Jiang Mingguo.
This is what he wrote.
Later, Gu Chuan overturned his remarks, "My reading is not the main reason. It is his own psychology that is at work."
Driven by curiosity, he opened the book again and studied it carefully, marveling at it.
After all, he and I are considered half-comrades. To be honest, compared to this man's ability to make up stories, he is simply insignificant and not worth mentioning.
If he had known about the existence of such a person in the early years, he would not have had to go to the black guy downstairs to buy some of those fake and inferior goods from such and such a collection.
If some parts of the book are not perfect, how can he do business?
"Colleagues from the Trace Inspection Department have already checked every corner of the room. After a lot of effort, they didn't find anything strange." Yu Hai snatched the book from Gu Chuan's hand and put it back on the bookshelf.
Gu Chuan read with gusto and was taken away by Yu Hai. Just when he felt that this person was boring, he was attracted by the thick book on the desk. He opened it and started reading it, and kept mumbling, "Why are you so prejudiced against these books?"
Big, I think it’s quite interesting…”
Yu Hai stopped suddenly when he heard Gu Chuan's words, looked at him curiously, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
This book was at least a few hundred pages thick, and every page and every page was scratched with black pen, and only a few words could be faintly discerned in the whole book.
Gu Chuanzheng was surprised as to why Jiang Guoming would act like this.
Yu Hai pondered: "There is no way this book was placed here without inspection before."
Upon hearing this, Gu Chuan felt even more strange and couldn't help but say, "Then there is only one reason - this book was put back later."
Yu Hai took out his mobile phone and made a call, probably to other colleagues in the police station.
Taking advantage of this time, Gu Chuan pondered over the book by himself, starting from the first page and interpreting it word by word.
Yu Hai hung up the phone, and Gu Chuan suddenly exclaimed, "I'll go and see what I find!"
"I just asked other people whether anyone related to Jiang Guoming was captured on the surveillance video in the past few days after his incident."
"What's the result?"
"There is a hobbling old woman. This person is his mother - Jiang Chenglian."
Gu Chuan frowned, "The last name is Jiang? His last name is the same as his mother's?"
Then Gu Chuan took the black book and pointed to one of the pages, "Look, this book says: Use the son as a sacrifice, the painted ground as a cage, and you will not be able to live with your mother for half your life."
Below this sentence, there are several words that are extremely blurry, but three words can be vaguely discerned: Mother and Son Curse.
Yu Hai didn't know, thinking that Gu Chuan was trying to show off, and said in an unhappy tone, "You're telling me, what do you mean?"
Gu Chuan shrugged, "How do I know? Why don't I find someone knowledgeable?"
Almost at the same time, Xiao Yu's figure appeared in their minds.
But Yu Hai shook his head and sat down on the chair, "I don't know about her. She disappeared after getting off the bus yesterday."
Hearing this, Gu Chuan let out a sigh of relief. He had long heard that Men Fu and his gang were secretive about their whereabouts. I am afraid that this aunt is also the kind of person who lives alone. Where can I find her in the vast sea of people?
In fact, there was another reason why Gu Chuan was looking for her, and it was because of the mark on his body. He thought about it, but he couldn't figure out what kind of existence it was.
And does it represent a promise, because he promised Li Tian to help him find out the truth.
What he was more worried about was whether he would really die as the word meant if he didn't finish it.
Logically speaking, this ghost spirit, ah no! Resentful spirit! Can such a strong resentment affect living people?
At this time, Gu Chuan's cell phone dinged. He subconsciously took out his cell phone and opened it. There was an unknown contact on his cell phone.
Just when he felt strange, he replied with a question mark, and the other party responded quickly.
"What? You forgot about me! Don't you want the talisman in your hand to be broken?"
It’s Xiao Yu!
Yu Hai also came over and took a look, "Why do you have her contact number?"
Gu Chuan shook his head, but Yu Hai remembered that when Gu Chuan had an accident, it was Xiao Yu who answered the call. Maybe at that time, she saved her number in this guy's phone.
Yu Hai touched his pocket and narrowed his eyes dangerously. Then he was afraid that his copper coin was in that woman's hand.
"She asked us to go..."
"Let's go find her!"
Yu Hai stood up with a roar and walked towards the door. Gu Chuan saw that he was in a menacing manner, as if he was trying to settle a score with someone, so he couldn't help but mutter, what is this guy doing?
So he quickly took the book in his hand and planned to follow.
When he turned around, there was a grunt behind him, as if someone was swallowing saliva.
The sound was very soft and fell into Gu Chuan's ears. He immediately stopped and looked down in the direction of the sound.
There is the corner of the bookshelf, next to the window.
The curtains were half drawn and there was a pair of shoes.
It looks like a child wearing it. Where did the child in Jiang Guoming's family come from?
Gu Chuan swallowed, but then he heard the sound coming again. It really came from the curtains!
Then a burst of children's laughter sounded in his ears, echoing throughout the room.
"Little Gui Tou, Gui Ling Jing, asked him how light he was. Little Gui Tou, Gui Ling Jing, smiled and replied, "It's five pounds..." The weird nursery rhyme came out as a child's face came into Gu Chuan's eyes.
Stopped abruptly.
"I'm so hungry, brother, give me your food."
It was a little ghost head that was only half his body height. His head was very big, but his mouth took up one-third of the space. His eyes were like two mung beans, and his cheeks were sunken, revealing a row of fangs.
Its fingers were very thick, and its long nails were like extremely sharp knives. It was pointing at its belly, drooling, and twisting its bloated body and walking towards him step by step.
"Get out of my way!"
Gu Chuan backed away again and again, almost roaring, and everything became quiet at this time.
"You brat, what's wrong with you?" Yu Hai stood at the door with an expression as if he was looking at a lunatic.
Gu Chuan did not explain, nor did he pay attention to Yu Hai's calls from behind, but quickly walked out of the door.
"It must be the problem with that talisman!"
In the text message just now, Xiao Yu told him that the ghost-attracting talisman on his hand needs to be broken as soon as possible, otherwise it will easily attract evil things.
He could already see these things, not to mention that he had a very strong constitution and was more likely to be provoked.
Remember the shadow ghost who followed him before? The reason must be the talisman, he thought, holding the pendant on his chest tightly with his left hand.
Besides, for no reason, why would those guys start harassing me one by two? In the past, they could only raise their heads and not look down, without disturbing each other.
It was okay that they were ghosts before, but this time and twice, I could actually encounter ghosts. Those guys could tell at a glance that they did not belong to the world of the living. God knows how they got here.
It seems that I need to find my aunt as soon as possible and ask her clearly.
After an hour, the two finally arrived at Xiao Yu's rental house.
This is an alley located in the deepest part of a noisy and busy city.
There are often some ragged homeless people and beggars lying or squatting outside.
After all, this is a girl's house, and it would be too dangerous to live here.
Yu Hai sniffed. He was still angry at first, but now he started to worry.
"My aunt is not an ordinary person." Gu Chuan pointed at his head, "Think about it, who is that door talisman? The famous ghost hunter, who is not afraid of ghosts but also afraid of people?"
"Tsk, can you kid stop hearing what you hear? If Men Fu really had such great power, how could these weird things happen? Yu Hai poked his forehead with his hand and said, why is it your turn and me running around so proud now?"
Gu Chuan was speechless for a moment, but he didn't take his words to heart, and his expression remained expressionless.
To be continued...
