Volume 2: Hundred Ghosts, Chapter 38: Missing(1/2)
After the rain, the sky cleared. Gu Chuan stretched out, got up from the bed, and looked at his phone. It was already 11 o'clock.
He hadn't slept so peacefully for a long time, so he couldn't help but squint for a while.
Gu Chuan walked out of the bedroom and went to the bathroom, ready to brush his teeth, but his eyes accidentally glanced at the toilet.
Gurgling, the sink in the toilet is bubbling, and it seems to be blocked by a ball of black hair!
hair?
Gu Chuan rubbed his eyes and took a closer look. The hair was gone again.
"Where did the dirty stuff come from again?"
After what happened last night, Gu Chuan felt more and more that there was something fishy about this nursing home. When he first came here, he felt that this place was unusual, especially after hearing the story Fang Hui told yesterday.
This night he was thinking about all these things, but the strange thing was that he didn't see any ghosts or even ghosts here.
He speculated while looking through the previous news about Songshan Nursing Home.
In the major death case at Songshan Mental Hospital, a total of eight employees were killed, including a patient. After that, a fire suddenly broke out in the hospital, and many more people died, including the murderers.
Later, the hospital was bulldozed and the building was rebuilt. It is now a nursing home. The area is not large, with a total of only four floors. Each floor has six rooms, three of which are occupied by residents, and the highest floor is the main switch.
He remembered that there was thunder last night and the power was out in this house. It must have been the same line as the nursing home.
Eight?
Gu Chuan frowned, took out his cell phone, and sent a message to Yu Hai, asking him to help check the nursing home. Then he came to the door. After opening the door, he took a look at the wet parchment on the ground.
"It's a coincidence that it rained. It washed away all the talismans I drew."
Gu Chuan sighed, and after returning to the room, he began to think about drawing another one tonight.
After lunch, he went out.
There were no plans for today, so Gu Chuan thought about going to a nursing home.
At this time in the past, the iron door was always closed, but today, strangely, it was surprisingly opened.
He saw that Fang Hui's face was not very good, and she had been talking to Mrs. Wang. Uncle Li, who had locked the door, was also there.
"I've looked for it, but I can't find anyone!"
"What kind of trouble is this lunatic making? Could it be that he's on strike?"
Gu Chuan walked over and knew they were talking about Cao Guifen when he heard the madman.
Just as he was about to say hello, he heard Uncle Li snorting coldly, "Anyway, it's useless to say anything now. I've already told Xiong Jiancheng that he will come in the afternoon. Everyone should do their own thing!"
After saying that, he glanced at Gu Chuan and left.
Why do I always feel like he is avoiding me?
Gu Chuan looked at Uncle Li who didn't look back, and murmured in his heart.
I haven't even had time to talk to him yet.
Looking at Uncle Li's back, I caught a glimpse of a bunch of keys hanging on his waist.
Isn't that the string that Cao Guifen took away yesterday? There were several copper coins hanging on it, so he recognized it at a glance.
"What's wrong? Sister Guifen quits?"
Gu Chuan retracted his gaze and turned to Fang Hui to ask.
It sounded like this was what they were talking about.
Fang Hui glanced at the person who came and said nonchalantly: "Whatever with her! It's not me who signed the contract, but it's because of her that I have to work so hard. It's the same with Mrs. Wang. Why would one or two of them choose this time to get into trouble!"
Wang Po knocked her, "What are you talking about!"
Realizing that she had said the wrong thing, she immediately stopped her mouth and said, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Damn, she is obviously on duty tonight. It's good, because it's me again."
She moved her eyes to Gu Chuan again, "She disappeared. When Uncle Li came this morning, he found that the door was open. We also checked the surveillance camera, and we only saw her dead face. She entered the door but did not come out. We searched everywhere
After walking up four floors, her key was only found at the entrance of the out-of-service elevator on the second floor."
"That's really weird. It's so good. How come this person is not here anymore even if he's not here?" Gu Chuan asked.
Who knows!
Fang Hui pointed at the surveillance camera, which clearly showed that this person was missing. I thought it was a ghost. Now I just wait for the guy named Xiong to come and see how he solves the problem. If that doesn't work, call the police.
Haven't her family members come looking for her?
Family members? Fang Huili was very happy. How could she have a man like her? Anyway, I never heard her say that she had any relatives.
Okay, Gu Chuan stared at Fang Hui and rolled his eyes, "Sister Hui, why don't I take your place tonight? I live here anyway, so you can just leave it to me."
Fang Hui was stunned, and then she curled her lips and smiled, "That makes sense. Since you live here anyway, you will be working as a part-time worker. I will certainly not pay you less for your wages."
Wang Po shook her head, this girl really wanted to get off work early.
She looked at Gu Chuan worriedly, "Young man, are you okay? Something happened to Guifen, I'm really worried."
"Worried? What is there to worry about? The young man is full of energy. It's not like I haven't been on duty, so nothing happened. What else can he have?" Fang Hui smiled and poked Gu Chuan's elbow.
The people who rent Boss Bear's house are basically living in a tight situation. I think he is as thin as a thin bamboo pole. He may be hungry a lot, so this can be considered a help to him.
Gu Chuan smiled sheepishly.
But I was secretly criticizing, look at what you said, do you think I am really just for money? I just want to try the results of my reading last night.
Not to mention, the few books his aunt gave him helped him a lot.
An imperial book on the spiritual talismans of heaven and earth, a view on the categories of ghosts, and a magic talisman on the secrets of magic.
He has been reading these three books in the past few days, and has learned a lot of knowledge. But after all, they are books, and if you understand them, you can only talk about them on paper, and there is no master to teach you.
He didn't dare to ask more questions about Xiao Yu, for fear that she would know something, but this was not the main purpose. His purpose was not to learn any talismans, but to find a way to solve the corpse curse.
Gu Chuan's smile was half fake, "Yes, I really need money. I've encountered some troubles recently, so I have to come here."
Not far away, Uncle Li was standing there, looking in his direction. Gu Chuan glanced sideways, and he looked away.
"Look, the young man is also happy." Fang Hui smiled, tugged on his sleeve, and asked him to go into the nursing home to have a look and get familiar with it.
"Let's go then." Gu Chuan responded.
Mrs. Wang remained silent and allowed Fang Hui to lead him through the door.
But there was a lot of worry in that look.
…
Entering the hall, I saw two old people sitting on the benches on both sides. They were stupid and didn't speak. They just kept looking at the stairs dullly.
Gu Chuan is also used to it. He came in here yesterday and it was the same.
Fang Hui followed and explained, "Our old people are like this. They can't understand you when you talk to them. Their ears are not good and their brains are damaged. Their families may also think they are a burden, so they sent them here."
, one after another, I have already seen off four old people here."
Oh, no wonder Fang Hui is not afraid, she seems to be used to it.
She also spoke harshly, which made people feel uncomfortable.
He said that these two people were probably not very friendly towards these old people. He didn't have much contact with Cao Guifen, but he could tell her character just by looking at her daily style, words and deeds.
An important point to mention is the forbidden door here.
To put it bluntly, it is a disguised form of restricting the freedom of the elderly.
Why is the person behind this so conniving?
Gu Chuan looked at one of the old men. She raised her head and met his cloudy eyes. At this moment, her pupils suddenly dilated.
Her back was hunched, trying to lift her limbs, and her bloodless mouth opened and closed, she wanted to speak!
Noticing her abnormality, Gu Chuan quickly moved over to listen.
"Run, run!"
Her wrinkled face remained unchanged, but her eyes widened.
When Gu Chuan knelt down, he suddenly noticed that there was a dark, dead air between her eyebrows, and he felt something bad in his heart.
This is obviously a symptom of being haunted by resentment!
These resentments have invaded the mind and are swimming on the surface of the body. It seems that this situation has been maintained for a long time.
But he clearly hasn't encountered any resentful spirits here. Could he be hiding?
"Don't make a fuss, these old people often say strange things to themselves."
When Fang Hui saw him showing such a big reaction to an old man, she couldn't help but feel that he was unusual and strange.
"Sister Hui, how long have you been here?"
Fang Hui said without thinking, "Three or four months."
Three or four months? Gu Chuan was slightly surprised, thinking of what Fang Hui said before.
That is, on average, one elderly person dies every month. This number sounds scary.
