Chapter 7 Chapter 5 The Plague
"Why did you follow?" I turned my head and asked Annie who was sitting next to me while I was driving back to Seattle.
After that night, the rest of us wasted three more days before we officially drove home because of things I didn't even bother to mention.There are a couple of things that I think I have to mention.
First of all, the person who cleans Xiaojie's sister's room is none other than Xiaojie herself.Unexpectedly, it verified the idea that I compulsively suppressed it at the bottom of my consciousness.But why didn't she meet me in a spirit form?According to Annie, my body has a smell that makes it difficult for pure spirit bodies to approach (of course it is not the kind that humans can smell.) And Annie happens to have the physique of a psychic medium, so sister Xiaojie begged to be attached to Annie's body. Meet me on the body.Well, in short, she said that it is a human being or a ghost, but I don't quite believe it.
The second is that Yao Jia also knew Annie.According to her, the two of them were very good neighbors when they lived in Vancouver. Annie's grandmother is a well-known psychic in that area, (also known as the magic stick.) And Annie's physique seems to be better than her grandmother, but she is just inexperienced. (That's half a magic stick.) But since the family moved to Seattle, they seldom contacted each other.
Recalling this, I couldn't help laughing. Just imagine, a yellow-skinned Chinese man in a dark dark room, wearing a dark black priestess costume, sitting in front of a large crystal ball... Hehe, isn't that pretty? funny? ?
Annie seemed to know what I was thinking, and glared at me and said, "My grandmother and I followed the traditional Chinese way of psychic mediums, without those western tunes!"
Maybe I was angry that she didn't tell me anything, so I snorted and said, "The devil knows your tone. Look at you, even your name has been changed to English. What Annie! Humph!"
Her angry face also turned purple, and she said loudly: "You are simply unreasonable! Who told you that I don't have a Chinese name anymore?!"
I glanced at her coldly and said, "You never said that either."
She was blocked by this sentence, and turned her head to the other side angrily. "Huang Shiya...my name is Huang Shiya." She said in a low voice.
"I can't hear you!" I yelled, putting my ear close to her on purpose.
"You..." She was so angry that she couldn't speak anymore.Hey, if you still don't understand the meaning of the idiom Qi Kong Shengyan, you can use the current Huang Shiya as a reference.
"You two have such a good relationship." Yao Jia turned her head and smiled at us.Huang Shiya and I glared at her and scolded at the same time: "There is something wrong with your eyes!"
The speed of the return journey always felt much faster than the time of departure, and several hours passed like this amidst the scolding. "I don't know how Jones and his investigation are going." Jame said casually.
I frowned.Sister Xiaojie's last words still linger in my heart for a long time. 'She's already started...'Action!What exactly is the action?And who is it for?Could it be...
Suddenly a thought flashed through my mind.correct!Ever since I found Xiaojie's jeweled thimble in the church, I have stubbornly believed that she has something to do with the church incident.But I never connected that puppet with the thing we summoned.
Compared with the nature of the Abuculus exorcism array in my memory, I couldn't help but shudder.A terrible conclusion forms in the mind...if the judgment is not wrong.Then the puppet should be there...
The car pulled into the only road into the town.We were surprised to find that the road ahead was blocked, and a group of policemen in full armor stood in front of the guard pole.
A middle-aged man in a conspicuous uniform stopped us and said: "The front has been blocked, and we can't go there for the time being." Jame stuck out his head in surprise and asked: "What happened? We live in the town. Just left 4 days ago!"
"What!" The middle-aged man turned his face aside, and immediately asked us to get out of the car forcefully, and stuffed us all into a large medical car.After checking for a while, and after confirming that there was no problem, he breathed a sigh of relief and explained: "There was a plague in your hometown two days ago, and most of the people fell ill. Therefore, until this problem is solved, we cannot Let anyone in."
Suddenly, an unprecedented shock hit our brains.
"How... how are my parents?" Yaojia asked in a dry tone, almost crying.
"I don't know about that." The middle-aged man looked at her sympathetically and said, "But there are still some uninfected people in the town who live in temporary houses provided by the government. Maybe your parents are there too. ’ Then he gave an address.
The car started to move slowly again.Silence continued in the car.
"DCUI." After a long time, I said slowly.
"DCUI?!" Jame suddenly turned his head to look at me in shock, and then repeated as if asking for proof: "Deal with the Center in Urgent Incident (Emergency Incident Processing Center)?!"
"That's right." I nodded: "They are not ordinary policemen, let alone the Plague Response Center. They are people from the U.S. military's Emergency Response Center."
"How do you know?" James asked nervously.I put my head on my hands and recalled: "In the medical cart, I noticed that some equipment had the DCUI logo printed in some very inconspicuous places, instead of the DCP (Deal with the Center in Pestilence Plague Treatment Center) logo. "
Yaojia looked at us nervously in puzzlement, and interjected, "Maybe DCP already has a task, so DCUI was sent to solve the problem here!"
"You don't know..." Jame shook his head: "The DCUI is a resident force of the military, and it is usually not easily dispatched. Moreover, he and the DCP are two troops with completely different attributes! But this is strange, why did it happen? Where there is a plague, DCUI will appear..."
"It's very simple." I said coldly, "Because what happened in the town is not a plague at all. If I'm not mistaken, she must have started to act!"
"she?!"
right!It's her, the puppet.I finally understand the meaning of sister Xiaojie's last sentence...
The so-called non-infected people in the town all lived in a large hotel provided by the government.Fortunately, Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao were safe and sound. When we found them, they were still eating dinner energetically. According to my constant side-by-side inquiries, I found that the people here don't know what happened in the town, but they just believe in the so-called plague reason of DCUI. Since we couldn't get any clues, the few of us got together again. Mark also came. According to him, 70% of the people in the town fell ill, and there were only 3 of the 21 members of the Seattle High School Spirit Club.Him, Jame and Haruka. "You guys called three days ago to ask for clues between the puppet and the rich man. I heard that Jone made a big discovery. But he also fell ill two days ago." Mark said regretfully. "Well, it seems that we still have to sneak into the town." I thought for a while. "But all the roads have been blocked, and there are still people patrolling the nearby woods, so it's really hard to get in." Jame was very distressed. "I know there is a path to get in." Mark smiled and said, "But I have one condition." "If you want me to take you there, then there is no discussion." I stared at him and said, "I will go alone this time, and I can't let you take risks!" "What?? You want to go alone!" Jame said in surprise: "No! This is a matter in our town, and we should solve it ourselves. We should never let you, an outsider, take risks for us!" I stared at him and said dumbfoundedly: "Have you not discovered a problem yet?" "What's the problem?" James and the others asked in bewilderment. I frowned and said: "According to my investigation just now, almost all the townspeople who have not fallen ill are new residents who moved here in the past 50 years. The original old residents have all contracted strange diseases. What does this mean? It should be obvious!" Jame said hurriedly, "You mean her curse is limited to the aborigines in the town?" "Yes. From all indications, she only has strong resentment towards the aborigines here." I nodded and said, "That's why I asked to investigate alone. This is the safest and most reasonable way." "Then... I'm not from here, I'll go with you." Huang Shiya glanced at me and said. "Me too!" Yao Jia naturally raised her hands not to be outdone. "Okay, I've decided that Shiya will go with me." I thought about it. "Why can't I go?!" The little girl Yaojia immediately became dissatisfied. "It's very simple, because you have to keep Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao steady so that they don't worry." I said firmly. "What! It's obviously biased!" She pouted aggrievedly.I looked at the four people around me, stretched out my hand and said, "Good friend!" "good friend!" Immediately, five people, ten hands, held each other tightly...
After finally crossing the so-called path, we finally reached the hillside not far from the town.It was already beginning to light up.In the dim light, the small town under his feet was eerily quiet. "You're so smart, you should have already guessed why I'm here, right?" I deliberately challenged Huang Shiya beside me.She smiled slightly and said, "You want to find that puppet." "That's right." I said with a satisfied smile, "You're half a magician, you should know better than me how the curse will be lifted." "What, I've already said that I'm a psychic, and you still call me a magic stick, are you annoying!" She squeezed me hard in dissatisfaction. "Ah! I'm sorry. I forgot that you are still half a magic stick!" I rubbed my arm and countered. "Okay, I'm the loser. I can't say no to you!" She threw up her armor and raised her hands: "It's important to do business first, let's talk about what you are going to do first?" I made a victorious V shape and said: "It's business... Well, not all movies, books, and ghost novels say that every spirit body has its own medium. If this medium is destroyed, the spirit body will be destroyed." It will be gone, hey, then the curse will be broken by itself. Ha, right. Anyway, that's all my arguments! What do you think?" "...It's okay, grandma said so too. But it's just most of them. Maybe this one is a different kind." Shiya couldn't laugh or cry. "Then do you have a better way?" I pretended to be humbly asking for advice. "However, do you know where that thing is?" She didn't answer, nor did she smile, she just tilted her head to look at me. "It's so boring!" I scratched my head, and then I told her the ins and outs of the incident in detail and then smiled: "There is a very special thing about the Abu Kelusi exorcism circle, that is, it must have the medium of a spirit body. would work. So I'm sure that puppet is back somewhere in the church." "Hmph, I really don't know where your confidence comes from!" She curled her lips and continued, "There seem to be a lot of people from DCUI camped in the town. Are you not afraid of being discovered if you walk there like this?" "It's okay, we'll talk about it when we get caught. At worst, we'll be deported back to our country. It just saves an air ticket." I walked down the hillside nonchalantly and said, "If you're afraid, just wait here for me." "Hmph! Who would be afraid!" The way to the church has not changed, it is still so gloomy and damp.The forest densely covered the sky, as if something was about to break out of its cocoon.Although Huang Shiya was used to seeing scary things since she was a child, it was the first time she had suffered such a strong sense of depression. She couldn't help but hugged my arm and looked around nervously. I originally wanted to sarcastically say something to her, but when I saw the delicate and delicate expression of a little girl on her face, the words rushed to my throat and I couldn't say any more.So naturally, I hugged her tightly to show her courage.Shiya glanced at me gratefully, holding nephrite in her arms, sniffing the faint fragrance of her body, and only then did she give me the feeling that she is a girl. Then naturally, I let go of my hand in embarrassment.Shi Ya also seemed to feel something, her face blushed, and she quickened her pace and walked forward. The church is still decadent, and the cracked wreckage is exposed in the morning light with incomplete features.We didn't pause at all, and immediately started searching the entire church.This dilapidated church covers an area of about 300 square meters. If you want to find a small puppet inside, it is undoubtedly a needle in a haystack.Fortunately, there is Shi Ya, a psychic medium. (I don't know why, but I started to respect her unconsciously.) She seems to feel that there is something abnormal about Lingbo. Hours passed, we scoured almost every inch of the ground, and we still found nothing. "It's strange, the spirit waves on the ground are all average, and the average is a bit abnormal!" Shi Ya sat on the ground in distress. "On the ground...?" I was so tired that I kept pounding my legs, when I suddenly realized something: "That's right! If it's not on the ground, then it's under the ground." "You mean...the morgue?" Shi Ya's eyes lit up. Formal European churches generally have a basement, and that basement is used to store the remains of monks of all ages.Hundreds of years ago, this architectural pattern was spread to the Americas and remained unchanged.Especially those cathedrals that consider themselves legitimate, and even pride themselves on the size of the mortuary. "It's very possible." She said, but immediately began to have a headache again: "But the entrance to the morgue has always been well hidden. Especially now that the church has collapsed again, it's impossible to find it!" "It doesn't matter, this situation is the time for me to show my power." I smiled mysteriously, picked up two iron wires of the same length and bent them into an L shape, and then stuffed the short end into the plastic straw I used at noon , and then gently pinch the plastic straw in the palm of your hand. In recent days, Huang Shiya, who is used to seeing my endless strange ideas, silently watched me complete this series of actions, and then asked strangely: "What are you trying to do again?" "Moest metal detector, have you heard of it?" I looked at her surprised eyes and asked happily. "Not at all, what is that thing?" She shook her head. I explained: "This is an instrument invented by an Englishman named Moest. It can detect metals buried deep underground, sewers, and secret rooms, etc. The specific working principle is unknown, and the scientific community has not given any information. Reasonable explanation. However, the governments of many countries have tacitly acknowledged its existence and used it to monitor the status of sewers." "Are you sure it works?" she asked. "I don't know." I shook my head, "I've never tried it before." "You..." She was so angry that she couldn't speak. I blinked at her and said, "If it works, you'll know if you try it." Standing up, I began to walk in circles around the church, gradually narrowing my search.Shi Ya followed behind me without saying a word, her eyes were very strange, as if she wanted to see me make a fool of herself. After searching like this for less than ten minutes, the iron wire wrapped in the straw gradually began to vibrate.I took a deep breath, and my nervous heart eased a little. "It's almost there." I whispered, and slowed down.Finally, the wire vibrated to its fullest on the floor of the church where the main bedroom had once been. "It should be here." Shi Ya and I looked at each other and nodded, and started to clean up the things covered in this area.Sure enough, an iron plate appeared in front of him.I used the iron braze I just found to crack open the iron plate, and a foul-smelling turbid wind immediately rushed towards my face.The hole is very dark, I don't know how deep it is.All that could be seen was a steep black staircase. Gusts of hot wind continued to blow out of the cave, and it could be seen that the ventilation conditions in the cave were extremely poor. "Flashlight... Hey! Wait a minute, don't go in yet." I stopped Shi Ya who was about to go in, took out a candle from my pocket, lit it and threw it into the hole.The candle, which was burning brightly at first, went out as soon as it fell to the bottom of the hole. "It's a candle containing magnesium. Generally, as long as there is oxygen, it can't be extinguished even if you blow it or step on it. But look now?! What are you impulsive about!" I blamed.Shi Ya didn't seem to care about her dangerous behavior just now, she just looked at me curiously and asked, "You always carry these weird things?" I was taken aback, and laughed dryly and said, "You think I'm Doraemon! It's Yaojia's birthday in a few days. I originally wanted to punish her, but I didn't expect it to come in handy here first." " Then he turned on the flashlight, waved his hands left and right to feel the temperature of the air in front of him and said: "It's almost there now, let's go down." Shi Ya snatched the flashlight and said, "I'll go ahead." "Why? Aren't you very scared just now?!" I was puzzled.She looked shyly at the beige pleated skirt she was wearing, and then at the stairs at an almost 70-degree angle.I suddenly understood, laughed loudly and said, "It's better for me to go ahead, and I promise I won't use the public to benefit my own interests. I'm a gentleman." Hehe, of course I am a gentleman, only I understand. After finally getting to the bottom floor, I scanned it with a flashlight, and I saw a small stone room.The square is about 20 square meters, and there are nearly 5 sarcophagi parked there.Shi Ya looked around and frowned. "Did you find anything?" I asked.She said doubtfully, "The spiritual pressure here is very chaotic, especially near the coffin, it seems to be constantly shrinking like a whirlpool." "That would be much easier." I kicked the lid of the sarcophagus, and the heavy lid was slowly pushed away by a corner.We both stretched our heads to look inside, and we were so surprised that we almost suffocated. Puppets... the sarcophagus is full of puppets.All kinds of puppets were crammed into this small space in a mess, revealing a trace of unknown weirdness. Shi Ya shuddered, and couldn't help but grabbed me tightly again. "Look at the other sarcophagi." I suppressed my shocking heart and said calmly.She timidly agreed, but she didn't relax my hand at all.I sighed, thinking that although Shiya is a so-called psychic, she is still an ordinary girl after all. After opening all the sarcophagi, we found that they were filled with puppets without exception.Hundreds of puppets.I don't know how many years these puppets have been here, and the silk clothes will shatter when touched. At the same time, we also found plenty of gas in the corners.Perhaps it was left over from the self-immolation of the Kobanis three years ago. Because it was placed in the basement, it was not affected by the fire and was kept. "Can you recognize which one is the culprit?" I asked Shi Ya who was still in a daze beside me.Only then did she wake up, and after looking at it for a while, she shook her head in frustration and said, "No... I can't find it." "It's okay, I have one last resort." I smiled mischievously at her.
After dragging her out of the morgue, Shi Ya asked dumbfoundedly, "Is this... really okay?" "What's wrong?" I said leisurely, "Since I can't find the real name of the emperor, I have no choice but to kill a hundred people by mistake. Besides, this church is in ruins. It can't be considered a crime." Toss the match. The firelight drew a beautiful curve and fell into the hole... But what I didn't know was that a few years later, the historical records of this small town actually wrote: On a certain day and night in XX.The abandoned church in the east of the town suddenly caught fire.The fire burned for a whole day and night before it was gradually extinguished, but the surrounding 500-meter birch forest was completely burned, so that the land was bare for decades without any trees. The source of the fire has long been unknown. But what is strange is that when the fire went out, the sudden plague also disappeared...
The so-called non-infected people in the town all lived in a large hotel provided by the government.Fortunately, Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao were safe and sound. When we found them, they were still eating dinner energetically. According to my constant side-by-side inquiries, I found that the people here don't know what happened in the town, but they just believe in the so-called plague reason of DCUI. Since we couldn't get any clues, the few of us got together again. Mark also came. According to him, 70% of the people in the town fell ill, and there were only 3 of the 21 members of the Seattle High School Spirit Club.Him, Jame and Haruka. "You guys called three days ago to ask for clues between the puppet and the rich man. I heard that Jone made a big discovery. But he also fell ill two days ago." Mark said regretfully. "Well, it seems that we still have to sneak into the town." I thought for a while. "But all the roads have been blocked, and there are still people patrolling the nearby woods, so it's really hard to get in." Jame was very distressed. "I know there is a path to get in."

I'm not from here, I'll go with you." Huang Shiya glanced at me and said. "Me too!" Yao Jia naturally raised her hands not to be outdone. "Okay, I've decided that Shiya will go with me." I thought about it. "Why can't I go?!" The little girl Yaojia immediately became dissatisfied. "It's very simple, because you have to keep Uncle Yao and Aunt Yao steady so that they don't worry." I said firmly. "What! It's obviously biased!" She pouted aggrievedly.I looked at the four people around me, stretched out my hand and said, "Good friend!" "good friend!"
