Chapter 13 Chapter 12 Strange Possession

The crowd slowly walked downstairs, and before reaching the second floor, a woman's cry suddenly sounded from above, and the cry came from the top balcony.The cry was faint, not howling, nor moaning and whimpering, but sobbing softly, like a wronged woman crying secretly. In a house shrouded in the shadow of death and fear, hearing such cries is like hearing the cries of a female ghost in a barren mountain, which makes people get goosebumps.Everyone on the stairs stopped and looked at each other, because no one was there upstairs, and the three rooms for the dead were checked, but there was no one inside, and the woman's cry was inexplicable and eerie.

"Could it be Mrs. Shen?" Mama Zhang looked at everyone in panic. No one agreed with her guess, the balcony is currently isolated from the house, how could Ye Caixia appear on the balcony.Without saying a word, Gao Pingying turned around and ran upstairs, and the others hurriedly followed. Standing on the edge of the isolated iron fence and looking at the balcony entrance, there is nothing there.I don't know if it was because of their arrival that the crying became softer.The balcony without sunlight is a bit dark, and with the heavy rain, the glass room has no light.The rain fell on the glass, making a noisy sound, and the crying sound beat everyone's heart coldly and sadly in the noisy rain.There was a piercing chill in the air, the indifference from the winter wind and rain, it turned out that the balcony window was opened.The cold wind blowing in front of her reminded Ye Wan of the wind chill when she descended from the fourth floor. It seemed that the window was opened at that time.

The crying stopped suddenly, but the crowd in front of the iron fence gradually became agitated, not all because of the cold wind and rain, but because of seeing a crying woman.At the entrance of the dim balcony, a red figure slowly appeared. The blood-red silk robe was dragged to the ground, and the long black hair hung in front of the figure's face, revealing a pale face vaguely.Ye Wan gasped, feeling that it was a female ghost, a young female ghost. The red figure stood tall at the balcony, and the blood-red fluttering silk robe was blown by the wind. The figure lowered its head, hunched its shoulders and shivered, and said in a sobbing voice: "I'm so cold, in the tomb of death, The cold soil is always devouring my lonely body, it took away my blood, my flesh, my soul..."

"Shen Qing, is that you?" Wu Meilan threw herself on the iron railing and called to the red figure, "Who killed you?!" The cry made the red figure twitch, as if struggling, trying to break free from some kind of force. While struggling, he made a panicked voice: "Shen Qing is going to take me away, save me, save me..." Seeing the red figure The twitching fingers and long blood-red nails made Ye Wan suddenly think of someone. She looked at the person beside the iron fence, but she didn't see that person. "She is Shen Dan!" Ye Wan shouted, meeting Gao Pingying's reproachful eyes, she lowered her head aggrievedly.She didn't deliberately bluff and create unreasonable panic. The man was obviously Shen Dan, but she couldn't explain how Shen Dan got to the balcony.

Shen Huaqi has already volunteered to go downstairs to find Shen Dan, the red figure at the balcony is getting more and more painful, and the voice for help is getting weaker and weaker.Wu Meilan was out of control, she cried and asked what to do, and then yelled at the balcony, telling Shen Qing not to take Shen Dan away, if she took Shen Dan away, she would not be able to live. "It's so cold... so lonely..." The female ghost on the balcony shivered again, "Why... locked my young life... in the cold soil... why... why..." The female ghost was a little angry, and the crowd in front of the iron fence was a little chaotic, and no one knew how to comfort the figure at the balcony.In the chaos, He Yi walked to the iron fence and prayed to the red figure at the balcony, then he raised his head and looked at the ceiling: "Lord, please forgive all sins and let your soul rest in peace." After speaking, he He drew a cross on his chest, lowered his head and said "Amen", just like a devout believer.

Prayer made the red figure calm down slowly, retreated towards the back of the balcony, and soon disappeared.The cry sounded again, the helpless and sad cry, as if she was crying, who could drive away the cold and loneliness, and make her soul no longer convulsed.The sad voice made people feel moved. Whether she was a human or a ghost, she was a pitiful and sad woman. Shen Huaqi hadn't come back from downstairs yet, everyone was confused about who the figure with red lipstick was on the balcony, his face was covered by black hair, and he couldn't see the real face clearly.Judging from what the red figure said just now, it seems that Shen Qing's ghost is possessing Shen Dan.From the perspective of age, that red figure also met Shen Qing's requirements.

The crying on the balcony gradually weakened, and in the end, only the sound of rain remained, and the cold wind disappeared.The balcony window, which was suddenly opened and now closed again, seemed to be a door for ghosts to come in and go out.The six confused people in front of the iron fence walked slowly downstairs after the crying stopped. When they reached the third floor, they met Shen Huaqi who ran up from downstairs panting.He told everyone that he had searched everywhere he could, but Shen Dan was not found. Was Shen Dan really taken away by Shen Qing?No one can give an answer.To have an answer, there must first be a reasonable explanation, explaining Shen Dan's disappearance and the phenomenon of ghost possession.This kind of strange phenomenon of ghost possession can be heard or watched on film and television, but it cannot really exist. Its existence is a blasphemy to human science.

"Shen Dan must have been possessed by Shen Qing. She was in Shen Qing's sacrificial hall just now, and her expression was not normal." Wu Meilan guessed with her unique thinking.Her guess reminded those who went downstairs to look for someone. Shen Huaqi apologized for his mistake. Just now he rushed downstairs in one breath, ignoring the sacrificial hall on the fourth floor, and asked everyone if they want to go to the fourth floor now. Take a look at the sacrificial hall upstairs.This was a very serious mistake, Gao Pingying frowned, and led the crowd to the fourth floor. In Shen Qing's sacrificial hall, there was a woman lying on the ground, not wearing a blood-red silk robe, but a long white nightgown.The skinny hands with blood-red nail polish tightly hugged his arms, and the long black hair was scattered on his face, covering most of his face.Gao Pingying knelt down and brushed the woman's hair away. Everyone saw a face that was so pale that it was not human. It was Shen Dan's gloomy and pale face.

Shen Dan has clearly walked out of this room, Gao Pingying knows this best, he is the last person to leave the room.When walking downstairs, Shen Dan was also in the crowd. During this period, she did not escape from everyone's sight.When everyone heard the crying and rushed upstairs, everyone's attention was on the crying, and Shen Dan left everyone's sight at this moment.Is she the red figure that appeared on the balcony just now? Shen Qing possessed her body and manipulated her to pass through the closed wall?The red figure has many similarities with Shen Dan. Although the hair covers the face, the figure and appearance can prove that they are similar.

Shen Dan, who was woken up, seemed to know nothing, what happened just now, what she experienced, she had no memory at all.She got up from the ground, looked at the people around, pushed away the crowd and walked out of the room on her own, completely different from the previous sluggish state.If Shen Dan was really possessed by Shen Qing, such a vivid ghost possession would be a fantasy, even if he saw it with his own eyes, it would be hard to convince him.But if it wasn't for being possessed by a ghost, it wouldn't be able to explain the red figure on the balcony. The thrilling ghost possession incident is over for the time being. The people on the fourth floor dispersed. Ye Wan walked a few steps and then stopped. She found that Gao Pingying did not leave. Find the flaw in the ghost possession.

The fourth floor brings many unexplainable doubts to people. These doubts seem to be complicated, but in fact, it is only necessary to find the correct thread end, just like the lines produced by an edger. Talking is useless.Find the main line, start from the main line, and the other lines will be solved. The main line on the fourth floor is whether there is anyone. Ye Wan thought of those men's feet, and felt that she should tell Gao Pingying, because she couldn't be sure that those men's feet belonged to her father. The men's feet wore black pants, and her father usually didn't wear black pants.If not, it's the main line on the fourth floor, the terrifying Avengers. She walked to Gao Pingying's side and told about the first day she saw the man's feet.Gao Pingying was shocked by what she said, and complained why she didn't say it until now.Ye Wan realized that her concealment was wrong. She had concerns at the beginning, that those feet belonged to her missing father, so she didn't dare to say it rashly, a little selfish. "I never had a chance to say it, but later I thought it was my father." Ye Wan apologized. Gao Pingying didn't have time to argue with her, so he made a suggestion, suggesting to simulate the scene when she saw those men's feet.He will imitate Ye Wan, and Ye Wan will imitate the man. Based on the positions of the two, he needs to correctly understand the situation at that time. "When I was walking up the lower stairs on the third floor, I stretched my neck and looked towards the stairs on the fourth floor." "When you turned your head, where was the person on the stairs?" Gao Pingying interjected. "Yes," Ye Wan thought for a moment, "it's on the third or fourth step of the stairs, oh, the left foot is on the third step, and the right foot is on the fourth step, walking up." "Where are those male feet?" "It's here..." Ye Wan walked over, stood at the corner of the stairs on the fourth floor, turned her head and said to Gao Ping, "At this location." Gao Pingying came over and turned Ye Wan's body 90 degrees to the left, saying: "Since he is walking inwards, he is facing the aisle, not the stairs. If the simulation on the spot is not correct, it will be misleading. Think about the position of those feet and the scene at that time. Pay attention, when you stand on the top, do you see me coming up from the downstairs? When I turn my head to look at the stairs, you walk into the corridor, and you must move quickly. Same as those feet." After explaining, Gao Pingying walked downstairs.Ye Wan carefully recalled the position of those feet. At that time, those feet were standing sideways with their toes facing the aisle.She regained her position and lowered her gaze. Gao Pingying hadn't appeared on the stairs on the third floor.Ye Wan adjusted her gaze to a natural state, as if she didn't expect someone to come upstairs at all, so she let her gaze from the corner of her eyes pay attention to downstairs. Inadvertently, Gao Pingying's figure really appeared in the corner of his eyes. He squatted a little bit, on the third step of the lower stairs on the third floor, and turned his head to look at the stairs while walking towards the fourth step.Ye Wan walked in quickly, walking and running, she felt that those feet should be like this at that time. "stop." Gao Pingying yelled to stop.He was standing on the seventh step of the upper stairs on the third floor, while Ye Wan was standing in the third room on the fourth floor.The residential staircase is folded. There are two staircases on the first floor, and there is a turning surface from the lower staircase to the upper staircase. Each staircase has nine steps.At the seventh step of the upper staircase, you can almost see the entire corridor of the floor.This scene shows that those feet did not have time to run into the third room at that time. If they ran into the second room, they would leave signs and movements. There was no sign at all, and they probably hid in the first room. Otherwise, Ye Wan will definitely see it when she runs up. After the simulation, Gao Pingying stood where Ye Wan was standing just now, that is, the position of those feet, and stared ahead. There was a beautiful scenery there, which was the oil painting of the Virgin Mary holding the baby Jesus at the end of the corridor.Ye Wan followed Gao Pingying's gaze to appreciate this oil painting, but the sacred and serene oil painting could not bring sanctity and serenity to the fourth floor. Gao Pingying looked at it for a few minutes, then went to the painting to examine it closely, but he was a little disappointed that he didn't see anything. "Does this painting have something to do with those feet?" Ye Wan asked puzzled. "I just want to know why those feet are standing there." "Just now you were downstairs, why were you squatting?" Ye Wan asked again in puzzlement. "For accuracy," Gao Pingying chuckled, "my height is more than twenty centimeters taller than yours." His thinking is very strict, this is Ye Wan's feeling towards Gao Pingying.She asked him, what do you think of the man's foot on the fourth floor, is it her father's or the murderer's?Gao Pingying shook his head noncommittally, and did not tell her who those male feet would be. This simulation can only explain three points: 1. She is not lying; 2. There may be other people in the house; .Still, what she found was pretty good. Gao Pingying affirmed her grades and told her not to tell other people about this, so as not to panic.Ye Wan asked him again, what do you think about the ghost possession phenomenon just now, Gao Pingying's answer was the same as her thinking, the problem is on the fourth floor, and solving the mystery on the fourth floor can solve the ghost possession phenomenon.The man's foot on the fourth floor is the biggest mystery. It is the main route. As long as this route is cleared, other routes will be very simple. "Sometimes, I think Shen Dan is suspiciously weird." Ye Wan thought of the fright she had received, and said in confusion, "She has a special idea of ​​attacking me. I don't know where I offended her. Doctor He said that it was because I am a stranger, that's why I overreact to me. At first, I thought so too, but later, I found that she didn't react strongly to you, and you are also a stranger. The most incomprehensible thing is that she Some behaviors are too weird, there is no human breath at all, it looks like a ghost, just like the pair of men's feet, elusive." Gao Pingying looked at the stairs and thought deeply, still thinking about the reason why those feet were in that position. He didn't agree with Ye Wan's words and said: "She is a bit weird, but it is not necessarily that she is elusive. The phenomenon of ghost possession just now It is also abstract, and there is not enough evidence to prove that the woman on the balcony is her." Ye Wan talked about how she suddenly met Shen Dan when she chased after seeing the man's feet on the fourth floor to check. At that time, she had been looking around in the corridor. If someone walked or peeped on the stairs, she would feel arrived.When she checked the third room, she only paused in front of the door for a moment. When she turned around, Shen Dan was already standing between the first room and the second room on the fourth floor, as if she suddenly appeared. Like coming out. These words attracted Gao Pingying, he stopped looking at the stairs, and asked Ye Wan to demonstrate how she looked at the three rooms, whether she could see the whole of the stairs from where she was standing.Ye Wan demonstrated while recalling, when she checked the first and second rooms, she could notice the stairs from the corner of her eyes, and there was no one on the stairs.Only when looking at the third room, the position was far away from the stairs, and when she stopped thinking in front of the door, according to the sequence of turning around, she turned her body slightly towards the oil painting.Yes, she looked at the oil painting and thought for a while, then turned around.The time between this is extremely short, even less than ten seconds. It is impossible for people under the stairs to suddenly run to the position between the first room and the second room without making a sound. "What are you doing here?" Shen Huaqi stood at the stairs on the fourth floor and asked, before waiting for their answer, he urged, "Go downstairs and have a look, something happened again." What happened downstairs was that the food was missing. When Zhang’s mother went to the kitchen to prepare dinner, she found that the vegetables in the refrigerator, the rice in the rice jar, and some other food were gone. The food that could have been used for three days was now only available. Eat one meal, finish tonight's dinner, and they'll be out of ammunition. Shen Huaqi once again apologized for his mistake. At that time, he hurried downstairs, only to see if there was Shen Dan, and did not pay attention to other things.No one blamed him for his mistakes, and even if he went downstairs and found something missing, it would not solve the problem.The dim light in the living room reflected the shadow of death, and the Avengers intensified the bargaining chip of death, and did not intend to let them live comfortably before death came.
