Chapter 24 end

"Dad, do you have 3 million?" "Yes." Dad looked at me puzzled, and suddenly laughed out loud in relief: "Haha, my foolish son, you finally got the hang of it and want to study abroad. Good, good!" I frowned and said displeasedly: "That's not the case, I think you bought 6 places with 3 million." "What are you trying to get out of your nerves again?" Dad's face darkened. I poured him a glass of water, sat on the sofa and said, "Well, I'm afraid you can't understand it in an ordinary way. Let's talk about it from another angle. Do you think your son's life is more important, or 3 million?"

"Nonsense, of course it's my son." Dad stared at me without blinking, and suddenly asked, "Have you encountered any weird things again?" "That's right, so if you don't buy those six places and tear them down, your son and I will definitely die." "3 million... Hmph, which six places are they?" I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Building No. 7, Danan Road, and the five old buildings around it." A week later, the ghost building and its nearby clock tower built more than 10 years ago, hotels, shopping malls, department stores, entertainment centers and other abandoned buildings began to be demolished.Because it is far away from the city center, and it is a few key haunted houses that the town government has a headache, the price is very cheap.But no matter how cheap it is, I didn't expect my dad to buy it for half the money. (In fact, the government's asking price is more than 5 million.) Alas, that stubborn old man is indeed a born businessman.

When demolishing Building No. 7 on Danan Road, I asked my dad to put up a conspicuous sign on the construction site, which said: 'It is forbidden to bring apples in, or you will pay for the consequences. ' It took more than a month for those buildings to be demolished.During the period, I asked Shen Ke and Xu Lu to go to the coffee shop once. "Is it over?" Chief Shen asked with a sigh.I was silent for a long time, and then I shook my head: "Maybe. Except for the ghost building, the workers found the body of the flower girl who was divided into five parts in the other five buildings in the past few days. At that time, I suddenly made a very shocking discovery. It was about the connection of those 6 buildings."

Shen Ke and Xu Lu raised their heads immediately. I took out a piece of paper and drew the positions of those 6 buildings, connected them together with straight lines, and then stared at them inquiringly.Xu Lu stared at the paper in bewilderment, she really couldn't see anything false or true.Shen Ke also stared blankly, gesticulating something with his hands, and suddenly cried out in surprise: "Wumangxing! The clock tower, hotel, shopping mall, department store, and entertainment center actually constitute the five parts of Wumangxing." horn." "That's right!" I nodded, "This is the so-called white five-field star in the West. It is said that it can make the body recover from all kinds of diseases. It belongs to the harmless category of the five-field star array."

"Harmless? Then why did so many people die?" Shen Ke asked in a hurried voice. I said slowly: "It is indeed harmless in itself, but when its five corners are occupied by evil or resentful spirits, some mutations will occur." The first room on the first floor is circled: "It will continue to increase the resentment of the wraith at the very center, to the point that we can't imagine." "Even if you are right." Shen Ke pondered for a while and asked: "But I remember that you and Xiaolu have encountered many strange things, and you always said that you have a close connection with that ghost building. How do you Explanation?"

I smiled bitterly: "I have investigated the causes of death of more than 100 people, and found a big common point - they all touched apples in the first room of that ghost building. And according to Wang Chengde's notebook According to the description, the flower girl was still holding the apple tightly in her hand before she died, so we can guess that she must have some kind of strong bond with the apple. So strong that she wants to kill everyone who touches the apple." "What kind of bond?" Xu Lu asked curiously. "Perhaps only Lu Ping and she know." I sighed and continued: "As for the strange incident I encountered a few days ago, now I have a very reasonable explanation. Three days ago I went to ask a Master, he told me that the souls of people killed by powerful vengeful spirits cannot ascend to heaven. They will be imprisoned and become earth-bound spirits, wandering endlessly in the place where they died."

"It's so pitiful!" Xu Lu and Shen Ke took a deep breath. "Don't worry, since we buried the body of the flower girl, the resentment there has also disappeared. Those ghosts who died in vain should also be freed from their shackles. But Wang Chengde should also be the target of the flower girl's revenge. Why did he even Can you live in that haunted building for nearly 10 years safely?" Shen Ke asked in bewilderment. I smiled wryly and said, "Those things about ghosts and ghosts cursing are completely irregular and unreasonable. If it is a far-fetched guess, it may be because Wang Chengde still has the value of living."

"That's right!" I took out a black iron box the size of a cigarette case from my pocket and put it on the table: "This was dug out from that haunted house, do you know what it is?" Shen Ke held it in his hand and weighed it: "It's very heavy, is it an iron block?" He turned it over, and suddenly exclaimed: "There is still a production address here." I leaned my head over and saw To his finger on the words Made in USA. "Made in America!" Shen Ke looked up at me in confusion. "No, it's made in Japan." I pointed to the words Showa 13 engraved in a very inconspicuous place.

"But there is clearly the words Made in USA here! Is it engraved wrong?" Xu Lu, who had been silent all the time, was also puzzled. I shook my head: "That's right. I remember that I read in a book that there was a city called Usa in Japan. Until the end of World War II, all the products produced in that city would be marked with Made. The words in USA. USA is the Japanese pinyin of Usa." "Then...then this stuff is from around World War II?!" Shen Ke was taken aback. "Not bad! To be precise, it was made in 1938." I played with the iron-like thing in the palm of my hand, and my voice became low again.

"So, do you have any idea about this thing?" Shen Ke leaned heavily on the back of the chair. I smiled bitterly: "Not at all. But I always think it must have a deep connection with that haunted building. It is constantly connected." "What connection?" "I don't know. In short, I don't really believe that the white five-bounded star was formed by accident. And I always feel that there is something wrong with the Japanese overseas Chinese named Lu Ping. It seems that he is not as simple as it seems. But who knows? The truth may only come to Japan. Only then can we figure it out.” I laughed dryly, stood up, and walked out.

Don't forget to look up at the sky, the sun pierces through the thick autumn rain clouds with difficulty.Exhaling forcefully, I smiled inexplicably, laughing loudly, laughing crazily.Tears of laughter flowed out. The event appears to be over.But it feels like there are still many mysteries that have yet to be solved.Always wondered why I saw that scene in the mirror.If I hadn't seen that scene, I might have been killed by Yang Shanshan.So, who saved me?And Lu Ping, what he did was really not simple, it seemed that there was some unknown secret. Walking aimlessly on the street, I shook my head desperately, trying to get rid of all my troubles.But in the end, I finally bought two bouquets of flowers and walked into the cemetery.The tombstones of Li Jialan and Zhang Lu are side by side. In the photo, their smiles are beautiful and sweet.It's like knowing that I will come. "Sorry, I didn't go to your funeral." I put the flowers gently on the grave and said softly, "Actually, I wanted to go. But I was afraid. I was really scared. Because I was the one who really deserved to die." , It was my curiosity that killed you!" Staring blankly at the photos of the two of them, my heart ached like a knife. "Damn it! The sandstorm is really strong today!" I wiped away the tears I just shed with my hands, and finally violated my vow never to cry again... Cried…… (Finish)
