Chapter 3 Chapter 2 Living with Ghosts

Liangchen Meijing and I deliberately joked about Fei Li's name, and thought it was very funny, laughed, and looked at each other, from their expressions, we could see that they had a naughty idea immediately, but they didn't say it out, only to Bai Su and I clasped our hands together, we retreated quickly, we had already arrived at the door, and said in unison: "As soon as there is a result, report it immediately." I hurriedly said: "Wait a minute." To deal with them, sometimes the words used in the language are too modern and may not be useful. The word "wait a minute" happened to be used. They had already opened the door, their figures floated out, and then flashed back in immediately.Two pairs of big eyes fixed on me.Going back and forth, I was about to turn around, and I saw a pair of rather unique earrings hanging on their earlobes, one on the left and one on the right, dangling around.

I said: "I'm working hard on the subject—it must be very specialized. If you can't understand it, you can't remember it. You need to bring some tools. I have—" Before I could finish speaking, the two of them were fighting over each other: "Compared to the Gobi Desert, Uncle Wei, your so-called tools are like things from the Stone Age." I glared at them angrily. The two pretended to be scared on purpose, but they were never going to change their mouths. I snorted: "Okay, is there a miniature camera that can capture the document? How tiny is it?" The two sighed and shouted: "My God, I still use a camera."

I was annoyed: "What's the use?" Liang Chen said: "There must be something more advanced, for example, photo-text fax." I was even angrier: "How do you know that there must be a teletext fax machine for you to use in places that are laborious?" Meimei said: "We can carry it with us. It's miniature, it's transmitted directly by radio, and the scanning terminal scans it. In the receiver in the Gobi Desert, the files will come out clearly." I looked at Bai Su, thinking in my heart, in what they said, the abilities of the two people called the Gobi Desert might have been exaggerated.

This kind of miniature radio map file sent to the real machine should only be something in the laboratory, so I want to verify it with Bai Su. Bai Su smiled at me and nodded at the same time, affirming that the Gobi Desert is indeed capable. People come forth in large numbers, when is the time to get acquainted with these two people." When Liang Chenmei heard this, she jumped forward happily: "Great, they didn't know they wanted to know you, and they talked about it many times, but we were afraid of being scolded by you, so we didn't even dare to talk to you." I smiled wryly: "How can I be so fierce."

Liang Chen pointed to the beautiful scenery, and beautiful scenery pointed to Liang Chen, both of which were earrings: "This is a sophisticated communication device designed and manufactured by them, which has multiple functions. The computer in their residence automatically transmits to the transmitter, and we have received the signal here.” I took a breath: "Every different person has different communication methods. For example, Wen Baoyu is—" The two rushed to answer: "Three long and two short." "Three longs and two shorts" is a way of signaling, which is also a common saying in Chinese. It is not very well-intentioned. Of course, they deliberately chose such a signal for Wen Baoyu to use, so when they said it, they laughed. stop.

I stared at the dangling earrings under their ears. They were hexagonal, no bigger than a fingernail, and very thin. It is really not easy for a miniature electronic device to be so small. The two said again: "Our work is going well, you will be introduced to them by us." I was angry and funny: "I have become a prize." Liang Chen and Mei Mei called together: "Who told you to 'blow the horn through the wall'--we are famous, we will do it right now." At that time, if I knew what they meant by "go ahead", I would have suggested that it would not be too late to start again tomorrow morning.

That can only be regarded as a small episode, and I didn't know what they did after they left that night until a few days later. That was later. Once, Xiao Guo, who has become a world-renowned private detective, suddenly mentioned it to me. When he said it, he still had lingering fears: "It's really shocking. There are so many talented and supernatural people in this world. A few days ago, in the middle of the night... , one of my employees was on duty at the office, and two girls in red clothes and eyes came in. They acted as fast as ghosts, and immediately forced to find a...all the information of the doctor. When I got to the ghost, I was so frightened that I had a fever for three days, and I didn’t dare to work the night shift.”

After hearing this, I naturally had to smile wryly, but I couldn't express anything, so I just said: "Your staff member is too timid." Xiao Guo's expression was very serious: "It's not that he is timid. In my office, there are closed-circuit televisions everywhere, and they are constantly recording. Afterwards, when the video tape was played out, when the two girls stood still , bright and lovely, the two are exactly the same, but when they move...it is absolutely impossible for anyone to move so fast, they are..." I smiled and knew what he was going to say next: "No, they are not aliens. If there is a chance, I will introduce them to you."

Xiao Guo looked at me for a long while before saying, "You know so many weird people." I immediately replied: "Including your Excellency." After Liang Chenmei left, she got all the information of Dr. Fei Li from Xiao Guo's detective agency. Dr. Fali's Institute is supported by a worldwide research foundation.This type of fund is very tolerant to qualified researchers. They pay a lot of money for research, and there will be no results for three to five years. They will never complain, and they rarely ask researchers how to spend money. The laborious research institute and even the buildings were built with funds, and it is very beautiful and quiet on the edge of a bay.

I only found out about this after the fact. To be more specific, it was the third night after we broke up that night. That day, from the afternoon onwards, it seemed very abnormal.Originally, the autumn was crisp and the weather was pleasant, but that day was unnaturally hot and very humid, so when the doorbell rang around three o'clock in the afternoon, I heard Lao Cai's old voice, and when he scolded the visitor, I thought in my heart: yes The older Cai gets, the more angry he gets?Or is it the weather that makes you grumpy? Following Lao Cai's scolding, a weak-sounding voice begged: "Lao Cai, look clearly, it's me, I'm not a stranger, I'm an old friend of Wesley's."

Lao Cai's voice was even louder. It is conceivable that when he yelled loudly, he must roll his eyes upwards, and would not look carefully at who was coming: "Everyone said that they are acquaintances, why haven't I seen you?" I was thinking quickly: "The voice is very familiar, but there has been some extraordinary blow, so the voice has changed, who could it be? Could it be that Chen Changqing came back after learning the Tao? No, it can't be Chen Changqing." I didn't want Lao Cai to continue to offend people, so I opened the door of the study, walked towards the stairs, and looked down. The first thing I saw was the sweat soaked shirt stuck to the back of the visitor, and at that moment , I know who he is.And also very surprised. I stopped Lao Cai first: "Old Cai, why don't you even know this gentleman? Invite him in quickly." Lao Cai listened to my running, and then took a closer look at the visitor. He couldn't be blamed for his old eyesight. At this time, the visitor also turned his head to look at me, and made a face-to-face meeting at a distance of less than two meters.I know him very well.But if he hadn't heard his voice just now, it wouldn't be easy to recognize him at once—it wouldn't be surprising if it was the result of his deliberate disguise; Next to the tomb of Qin Shihuang, he disguised himself as a local shepherd, and almost hid it from me. But now, he is definitely not putting on makeup, but because he doesn't know what happened to him, even his appearance has changed. His face full of confidence is now full of fear and doubt, like the end of the world It's already arrived, and in my imagination, even if the end of the world is really coming, people like him shouldn't panic like this. At this moment, he seemed to have completely lost his self-control, and his shirt was drenched with sweat. It seemed that he was sweating that way not only because of the sweltering heat, but because of extreme fear and cowardice in his heart. Moreover, his sweating profusely, wrinkled face and gray complexion. At this time, he looked up at me with helpless eyes.He stretched out his hand to push Lao Cai away and move forward.But instead of pushing the old and frail Lao Cai away, he staggered and almost fell. Lao Cai hurriedly reached out to support him, and he gasped for breath. Seeing this situation, I was very surprised, and hurried forward, calling, "Qi Bai, what happened?" Yes, Qi Bai, is the unique tomb robber Qi Bai, Qi Bai appeared many times in the stories I described. I believe that after reading my description of the visitor, you must be surprised to hear me call out the name Qi Bai.There must be a very special reason for Qi Bai, who is strong, brave, meticulous, tenacious, and possesses high scientific and modern knowledge, to become what he is now. The last time Qi Bai appeared in my story was this story, so I immediately thought, is it possible that in that story, the strange and indescribable thing that looks like a human but not a pupa has matured and turned into a terrifying creature? Inexplicable evil monster? If it is, it can indeed scare him like that. However, Dr. Bandon, who is related to this monster, took the monster to Leman Hospital to observe its growth. If there is any change, we have agreed to tell me as soon as possible, but I have not received any information from Dr. Bandon. Notice. As I was thinking quickly, I also came to him, and he grabbed the back of my hand at once. His palm was sweating, but it was cold—it was known that his condition was more serious than I imagined, he was dilated. Mouth, the voice is hoarse, but the words cannot be spoken.I pulled him to the sofa and pushed him to sit down, but he kept grabbing the back of my hand and refused to let go, so I had to ask Lao Cai to bring the wine quickly, but Lao Cai moved slowly, I was really worried that Qi Bai would be there During that period of time, I passed out and never woke up again. Qi Bai's intrusion like this has happened before, but his ability is indeed so poor, I have never seen it before, even back then, he was hunted down by the space agency of a big country, like a groundhog, hiding in the It wasn't like it was when it was in the cave. Finally, I took the bottle from Lao Cai, bit the cork with my teeth (he had been holding my right arm tightly), and moved the bottle to his mouth. He finally knew how to open his mouth, but When he drank, the wine kept flowing out of his mouth. After a few sips of wine, his whole body seemed to have a tinge of anger. He turned his eyes and looked at me. His voice was still hoarse, but he was finally able to speak. He said, "I...Damn it." I stayed for a while. Qi Bai is a tomb robber. According to the principle of "there are more tigers in the mountains", the one who has the most chances to see ghosts should naturally be the tomb robber. In fact, Qi Bai often lingers in some spacious and magnificent ancient tombs, not knowing what the outside world is like. For a person of his status, hell, it seems that there is nothing special about him.At first I was really taken aback by his appearance, but now I knew that he was just seeing a ghost. Although he could see that ghost (one or a group) made him feel uncomfortable, it was not a big deal .I thought he was making a fuss, so I threw away the arm he was holding, and at the same time, there was a sense of sarcasm in the voice: "Oh, what the hell? Big-headed ghost? Water ghost, long-legged ghost? Green A male ghost with fluffy teeth, or a charming female ghost?" Qi Bai called in that hoarse voice: "I've seen a ghost, do you know? I've seen a ghost." He didn't blame me for being sarcastic, he just grabbed my arm again, shaking it, with little strength, very weak, repeating his experience, eyes full of help.I couldn't bear to ridicule him anymore, and sighed: "It seems that the ghost you met didn't do you any harm. Your current situation is so bad, it is mostly due to human psychology." These two sentences played a certain calming and comforting effect on him.He took the wine bottle and drank a few more sips; he let out a big breath, put his head in his hands, and said after a while: "I never believed in ghosts, but this time... oh, this time This time... I really saw hell." I'll wait for him to go on. He took another deep breath: "Not only did I see the ghost, but I also lived with the ghost for three days." I frowned: "Please say it again." Qi Bai repeated weakly: "I lived with ghosts for three days." I shook my head: "What life do ghosts have? People become ghosts only after they die. They neither live nor live." If it was different from normal times, Qi Bai would definitely be angry because I was still chewing on words in this situation, but at this moment, he doesn't even seem to have the energy to be angry.He just changed his words: "Okay, even if I and the ghost...existed together for three days." I was still full of doubts: "Based on your current situation, the ghost you saw... you should have run away as soon as you saw it. How could you have existed with him for three days? Could it be that ghosts have the power to You can't avoid it?" Qi Bai's eyes were wide open, his eyes were blank, as if he didn't even know what happened, and he licked his lips frequently. I brought him a large glass of water and he picked it up.He gurgled and drank a few more sips of wine as a supplement, and then asked in a more normal voice: "Can you listen to me from the beginning?" I patted him on the shoulder: "Of course, old friend. Of course. If there is something that can scare you like that, I'm naturally interested in hearing it." Qi Bai corrected my words: "I'm not afraid, it's just that...it feels extremely strange. Death is so strange to people, and ghosts have always been...unreal, and suddenly...a ghost appeared solidly in front of you , that feeling... so weird..." I have long recognized the existence of the soul, and I have done a lot of work to search for ways to contact the soul, sometimes with success and sometimes with failure.But as Qi Bai said, it is one thing to study and explore the soul, but it is another thing to have a "solid" ghost in front of you. (“Sturdy,” what a strange adjective he used.) I couldn't help but feel a chill, Qi Bai looked at me with an expression of "now you know". I gestured to him to be more specific. Qi Bai took a few breaths before saying, "It's an old ghost...I mean, an old...been dead for many years...but appeared in front of me alive..." What happened to him must have shocked him extremely, because until now, his speech was still broken and difficult to coherent, which made it sound extraordinarily weird. I was also infected to a certain extent, and gestured to him for a year: "Speak slowly, start from the beginning." Qi Bai looked at me, he didn't know what he was thinking, then he drank heavily and pursed his lips for a while, before saying: "Recently, I discovered a very strange ancient tomb──" If a story starts with such a sentence, it should be quite attractive, but if Qi Bai wants to tell a story and starts with such a sentence, it will not be attractive at all.Because as a tomb robber, if he can't enter a new tomb every three to five days, it's probably worse than ordinary people not eating for three to five days-he will die because of this. Therefore, the discovery of an ancient tomb was nothing more than a normal thing for him. However, there are still places worth noting, he said "very strange ancient tomb".Qi Bai "reads a lot of tombs", and it is certainly not easy for him to be called "strange". So I'm not expressing an opinion, and it occurred to me that what he was about to tell must be astonishing, because he had been so shocked. He paused for a while: "This ancient tomb was obviously operated by the tomb owner during his lifetime. After passing through the traditional tomb passages and tomb chambers, it is a quite spacious underground building. It is almost completely built in comparison with a house on the ground. The furnishings are no different from those of a comfortable house. When I entered, everything was in excellent condition, and perfectly usable—” He gradually became fluent, and I should have let him continue and not interrupt him, but I couldn't hold back the most basic question, so I waved my hand: "Wait a minute, the old man you mentioned Where is the tomb located in the middle or the west? Which province?" These questions are very important, but after hearing this, Qi Bai rolled his eyes: "What's so important?" I was a little angry: "Of course it is important. You said that the ancient tomb is very strange, with all the perfect furnishings of an underground house. It is modern Nordic furniture, or the ancient Roman baths of Dali. It can be Japanese style or Chinese style. " Qi Bai pursed his lips, as if he was considering whether to sit down and answer this question. This made me even angrier. He came to see me with his life in mind, 70% to 80% of the time, claiming that he spent three days with a ghost, of course he wanted to ask me for help, but at this time, But he hesitated, which was indeed unbearable. I sneered, and then I spoke bluntly: "I know that tomb robbers are mostly ghosts. When they find an ancient tomb, they think that people from all over the world will flock to that ancient tomb. Better sew your mouth shut so you don't talk in your sleep." Qi Bai blushed: "How could you... accuse me like this?" I sneered: "Why not? I know that the tomb is probably not too far away from here. Otherwise, judging from your mental state, you would not be able to support me at all, and you would have died on the street." Qi Bai smiled wryly: "Why are you so angry? It's not that I falter, it's that he won't let me speak." I asked out loud, "Who?" Qi Bai said: "He... that... ghost." I said louder: "Any ghost used to be a human being. Anyone has a name, so let's call him by his name. What's the ghost's name?". Qi Bai opened his mouth wide and looked at me like an idiot.His reaction was really beyond my expectation, and his expression lasted for a minute, which really tested my patience—I have cultivated a lot in recent years, If it was before, they would have grabbed his hair and dragged him out. After a minute, he shook his head: "I can't say it, I promised him not to say it." I laughed back in anger: "He is a ghost, according to you, he is an old ghost. He has been dead for many years, hasn't he? How many years?" Qi Bai murmured: "It's been more than five hundred years." I stopped drinking. "A person has been dead for more than five hundred years and has become a ghost again. What else can he keep a secret? Why doesn't he let you say his name? What's so scary about him? You say such nonsense to prevaricate Do I want to be with that old ghost forever?" Qi Bai's face was flushed with blood, and it can be seen that he was also very angry in his heart. Less than half an hour ago, he couldn't even stand upright, but now he suddenly stood up and said angrily: "Wesley, you, you— —It’s unreasonable, self-righteous in everything, why did I lie to you, he didn’t let me tell, I swear to God, it was him who didn’t let me tell, and at that time, he asked me to keep a secret, and I swore to promise him. "He was so hoarse, and he looked like only heaven can express his feelings, so naturally he wouldn't impress me. I "hehe" sneered: "For a person like you, when you swear, your face should not be facing the sky, but the ground. All Ancient tombs are all underground, you dig underground all day, be careful that one day you dig into hell.” Qi Bai stared at me with a horrible expression, while I looked at him coldly.After a while, I realized that he had tried his best: "You don't want to hear what happened when I was with that ghost?" I immediately replied: "I think, not only think, but think very much." He hurriedly said, "Then—" I yelled and interrupted his words: "I want to hear a complete story, with the exact name, place, and all the detailed background of the story, instead of hearing that you met someone in a certain ancient tomb at a certain time and place." some ghost." When I said it in one breath, Qi Bai's face turned blue and blue, and he was speechless for a long time. I said again: "Looking at the situation you came here just now, you desperately need my help. If you want help, you must tell others everything without reservation." Qi Bai sighed, sat down, put his head in his hands, and said after a while: "You are wrong, my situation is not good because the things I encountered are too strange, as I said, I am not afraid, I am also I don’t need any help from you, in fact, I can’t help much.” I was so angry with him that I could hardly speak: "Then why did you come to me?" Qi Bai paused every word: "I want to share...a strange experience with someone, maybe, if that person is willing, you can also have the opportunity...to meet him."
