Chapter 324 Shadow Murder
When I saw Xian'er's birth date through this layer of plastic film, I felt like I was watching the flowers in the fog, and I felt very happy.
18 years old! She has lived for hundreds of years, but she even forged such an ID card to pretend to be young.
By the way, in 2003, in our small place, we didn’t need an ID card to stay in a hotel. Just register for it. Xian'er could take out her ID card, as if she was guilty and insisted on using this method to prove that she had just grown up.
Seeing that I was staring at her ID card, Xian'er probably guessed what I was thinking, so she rushed up, grabbed the ID card on the table, and gave me a fierce look.
I was amused on the spot: "Don't you just look at your ID card? I'll show you that you feel guilty."
Xian'er glanced at me again and put my ID card in his pocket.
Luo Fei was leaning against the back of the bed watching TV. Seeing Xian'er stuffing her ID card into her pocket, she asked from a distance: "Xian'er, where did your ID card come from? Did Brother Feng help you get it?"
Xian'er said: "He is so thin-skinned, so why should he be embarrassed to do such a thing? I bought this certificate from the person who applied for the fake certificate. It's not cheap. It cost me several large tickets."
Luo Fei turned his face to me again: "Where will we go to have lunch?"
I raised my eyebrows and said, "Didn't you just had a meal in the morning? Are you hungry again?"
"Yes, I just had a meal," Luo Feibai leaned on the bed boredly and sighed, "Oh, but I'm so bored. It's so snowing so hard that I can't go out to play."
I looked outside the window. It was snowing harder at this time. The strong wind blew on the hotel window, causing the window to make a "squeak" sound similar to an old record machine when it swayed.
There is really no need to play in such a weather.
Snowball fights? Forget it, people like us who have no childhood will never have such childlike in their lives.
I sat on the sofa and watched the advertisements broadcast on TV over and over again, and was extremely upset, so I said to Luo Fei: "It's really not possible to go online. I know an Internet cafe owner, and it's cheaper to go online from him."
Luo Fei thought for a while and said ok. Then I took out the phone and prepared to dial Wang Dapeng's number, wanting him to leave me some machines to lean on each other, but as soon as I took out my phone, the phone rang, and it turned out to be called by Wang Dapeng.
I answered the phone and said with a smile: "Why do you remember to call me? You're about to find you?"
Unexpectedly, Wang Dapeng's howling voice came from the other end of the phone: "Brother Dao, help, help! I'm over the ghost!"
I immediately frowned: "Being on the ghost? What's going on, please explain it clearly."
Wang Dapeng: "Brother Dao, where are you now? I'll come to your uncle's house to find you, why is there no one?"
I said, "I'm in a hotel near the Public Security Bureau, where are you now."
"It just so happens that I'm nearby," said Wang Dapeng: "Which hotel are you in? I'll go find you."
I said there was a hotel near the Public Security Bureau, and I could find it by just looking for it. I told him that I was in room 4012, and then I hung up the phone.
At this time, Liang Houzai said next to me, "Wang Dapeng is possessed by evil spirits?"
"No," I said, "He spoke in a very organized manner, and it should be nothing serious. Alas, no matter what, as long as this guy appears, there will be no good things."
Liang Houzai nodded with a smile.
Luo Fei asked me: "Who is Wang Dapeng? Are your friends?"
I, then, talked about the troubles that Wang Dapeng has brought to us in recent years. As I was chatting, the door was knocked on.
Along with the knock on the door, Wang Dapeng shouted like a pig: "Brother Dao, help me!"
I was afraid that he would disturb the nearby residents, so I quickly opened the door for him and let him enter the room.
When Wang Dapeng appeared, he was like a wilted radish, extremely haggard. His clothes and hair were messy, his eyes were covered with bloodshot, and he looked like he had lost a whole circle of weight than before the Chinese New Year.
After I asked him to enter the house, I poured him a cup of hot water to warm him up.
Wang Dapeng took the water cup as if he was lost, and then sat blankly on the sofa, staring at the floor with his eyes blankly.
I can't tell you what's wrong with him. He has no evil energy and his breathing frequency is still normal. Obviously, he has not been attacked by a ghost and has no other problems in his body. I guess he might have seen something and was scared.
Because of the cloudy day, the room was darker, and Liang Houzai turned on the lights.
Unexpectedly, as soon as the lights were on, Wang Dapeng rushed to the switch of the room light like crazy, and shouted, "Don't turn on the lights, it's coming, it's coming!" while pressing the switch hard to turn off the room lights again.
Liang Houzai and I looked at each other, and then I asked Wang Dapeng: "What's wrong with you? What happened to you?"
Wang Dapeng just turned off the switch, but seemed to have used all his strength to lean against the corner of the wall and gasped. He stared at me for a long time before he said to me tremblingly: "Shadow...shadow, my shadow wants to kill me. Help, Brother Dao!"
As he said, he hurriedly leaned in front of me and grabbed my ankle hard, as if he didn't do this, I would suddenly run away.
I tried to comfort him, patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, we are all here. Even if you really encounter something unclean, it can't move you. There is nothing to be afraid of."
After hearing what I said, Wang Dapeng gradually came to his senses. He lay on the ground for about four or five minutes, and then he slowly stood up on the ground.
Wang Dapeng took a sip of the water I poured for him just now, and was silent for a long time before saying to me: "Brother Dao, you really have to help me this time. I am possessed by evil spirits, and my shadow wants to kill me."
At this time, Liang Houzai suddenly came over and asked Wang Dapeng: "You can't the post that shadow murdered people was posted by you, right?"
Wang Dapeng blinked: "What post?"
Liang Houzai thought for a while and said, "Oh, yes, you were there when I was surfing the Internet in your Internet cafe that day. It was impossible for you to send it. I asked you, have you returned to your hometown recently?"
As soon as he heard the word "hometown", Wang Dapeng seemed to have recalled something terrifying, and his face turned pale.
I quickly patted him on the shoulder and said to him, "Don't be afraid, we are all here."
Wang Dapeng's face only improved a little. He murmured to himself, "Yes, are Brother Dao and Brother Xiao Liang here? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."
After muttering for a long time, he straightened his back and responded to Liang Houzai: "Yes, it's the New Year, I must go home for the New Year's Eve dinner, but I met the goddamn last night."
After he finished speaking, he drank all the water in the cup in one breath. I filled him with another cup, let him sit down, and said slowly.
Wang Dapeng held the water cup in his hands and kept it warm in his heart. After a few minutes of silence, he slowly revealed his experience on the third night of junior high school.
The customs of celebrating the New Year are similar to most parts of the country. You have to have a reunion dinner on New Year's Eve. You can go to family and houses to pay New Year's greetings on the first day of the New Year, and wait for guests on the second day of the New Year, and it is a bad day. It is not advisable to go around the alleys in the whole country, so you can stay at home honestly.
But customs are customs. Except for New Year’s Eve, the first and second days of the Lunar New Year, the rest of the days depend on personal preferences. Every time Wang Dapeng arrives on the third day of the Lunar New Year, he will gather a large group of young people from the village to set up a big table at home, and everyone drinks and plays, and gathers together to be lively.
Although the weather is not good this year, Wang Dapeng still gathered a lot of people like in previous years. However, because he had guests at home, the banquet was placed at his friend's house.
At the beginning, the atmosphere of eating was quite normal. Everyone talked about daily life, either they were just slapping the swollen face and pretending to be fat, bragging about how many scenes they had done. Anyway, drinking, a few big men gathered together and had a few glasses of wine, saying whatever they like, and bragging and having fun.
But after three rounds of drinking, someone talked about a strange thing that happened in the village recently. It was said that something happened to the three sons of Wang Dahai's family at the east end of the village.
One night, nearly a month before the Chinese New Year, Wang Dahai's three sons came home from school and walked past the new street light at the entrance of Dongcun, and found something was wrong. There was no moon in the sky that night, and the street light was not far away in front of them. At this time, the shadow of a human should have appeared behind him, but the shadow of the three of them was always in front of them.
The first person to find out the problem was the youngest third child, who immediately told the eldest and second child about the abnormal situation.
The boss immediately became nervous and said that the shadow might have been transformed by a little ghost. The village had a shadow ghost more than ten years ago. At that time, several villagers who were spending the night were killed by their shadows.
When he said this, the second and third brother were also afraid. The third brother was the least courageous and was so scared that he peed his pants on the spot. At this time, the eldest brother showed a smirk and said that the story was made up by him. Unexpectedly, the third brother was so timid that he scared the rotten soup out.
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly rushed up to the boss's body. The shadow didn't know what it was, and it covered the boss's nose and mouth. In just a moment, the boss fell to the ground and was out of breath.
Then a shadow appeared on the third brother. The second brother saw it with his own eyes. When the shadow appeared on the third brother, the shadow that the third brother originally projected on the ground disappeared.
Like the eldest, the third brother was instantly exhausted after being put on the shadow. The second brother was frightened and trembled all over. He felt something along his back on his shoulders, and then he felt his head hurt like a needle and fainted.
The second child finally survived, and when he woke up, he was already in the hospital.
The doctor said that the eldest and the third brother had a sudden myocardial infarction and the ambulance was no longer helpful when it arrived. However, no one could explain why the two died suddenly at the same time, and there was no way to explain the reason why the second brother fell into a coma.
Later, this incident spread in a small area in the village. Some people said that someone had used evil magic in the newly built street lamp, and there was a little ghost hidden in the wick. Anyone who walked past the lamp at night would be entangled by the little ghost. Only those who were open-minded and had never done anything bad would have nothing to do.
After that, there were indeed people who walked by the street light at night but did not have any problems. Most of these people had never heard of what happened to Wang Dahai's three sons.
