Chapter 191 Paper in the drawer
From this Zhou Wei’s mouth, Liang Xingyang learned what happened to the watcher, which was roughly the same as the information Shen Lan gave him.
First of all, whether it is Shen Lan or Gao Wei, they all volunteered to be on duty in order to enter the streets.
However, the difference is that not everyone who enters the Yinjie has to be a watchman. This is certain because Gao Wei once brought Zhou Pi, a man with a melon skin hat, in there.
Zhou Pi is not the one on duty.
If you light a paper ingot and enter the Yin Street one day, and happen to encounter a watchman who is unwilling to let you go, and you are not strong enough and cannot force your way through, you must abide by the rules of the older generation, or join the watchman, or leave directly.
Of course, not everyone has the opportunity to join the Watchers. The lowest threshold is to be a ghost controller who can control two ghosts.
Becoming a watchman is not a verbal agreement between everyone. You have to go into the old bungalow and make a mortgage with the ghost.
Gao Wei led the way, and Liang Xingyang crossed the threshold of this century-old old house. After walking in, he immediately observed the furnishings inside: a large black bed, a large black wardrobe, a dressing table, and glass hanging on the wall. The photo frame contains a few slightly yellowed blurry photos, and finally a desk made of mahogany.
The air in the old house is cold and the smell of rotten wood is a bit strong.
Liang Xingyang walked to the glass photo frame and observed the old photos stored inside.
The photos record the lives of two people, a young handsome man with long hair and a woman wearing a red woolen coat. Judging from the background of the photo, they were once the owners of this old house.
The man had a small camera hanging on his chest. He was not smiling. His face was a little stiff, like a corpse, but his eyes were gentle. The woman smiles brightly, and you can feel her happiness through the photo. The relationship between the woman and the man is very close, and they are most likely from the Republic of China period.
Liang Xingyang didn't find anything valuable, so he didn't stay long and followed the confused Gao Wei to the mahogany desk.
The top of the mahogany desk is a bit scrawled. Not only are there traces of fingernails on it, but also various twisted children's drawings painted with pencils and oil-based pens. A black 38 line on it is a bit blurry. There are two drawers under the tabletop.
"There is a fierce ghost in the two drawers of this mahogany table. The watchman's press paper sometimes appears in the left drawer and sometimes appears in the right drawer. To become a watcher, the ghost controller needs to find the paper by himself and press the fingerprint , and then put it back. If you are unlucky twice and draw all the drawers where the ghosts are hiding, you may be attacked twice. "
"If you are lucky, you may avoid the attacks of the ghosts twice." Wei explained with dull eyes.
Liang Xingyang looked at the drawers on both sides. Since the ghost masters who control the two ghosts have the opportunity to become the watchers, it means that the terrifying level of this fierce ghost will not be too high.
He directly put his hand on the left drawer, and suddenly felt a cold feeling, but he didn't care.
“Kaka…”
He didn't open it the first time, as if something was moving inside the drawer, preventing him from opening it.
"Li Gui is in the left drawer?"
Liang Xingyang narrowed his eyes, gave up on the drawer, and reached out to open the right drawer.
But the next moment.
The drawer on the right had just been pulled out, and a small skinny hand covered with corpses suddenly stretched out from inside and grabbed his wrist. The huge force came and there was no time to react. It was pulled into the drawer.
Liang Xingyang's expression changed, and he quickly calmed down. He watched with cold eyes as the entire arm turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye, without a trace of blood, as if it had been necrotic for a long time.
But soon, this pale arm turned black and covered with crawling bruises. The elbow shook slightly, and the palm deep into the drawer seemed to have grasped something.
The mahogany table was shaking, and the four table legs made a rattling sound.
Liang Xingyang's face was cold, and he pulled out his palm forcefully, taking out a small hand covered with corpse spots.
This is only a part of this evil ghost, and more limbs are still hidden in the drawer.
Covered in black and white like a portrait, the skinny little hand quickly faded away. The evil ghost in the drawer was suppressed, and the strength in the arm disappeared.
Liang Xingyang had no intention of dealing with the drawer ghost. He just held the ghost tightly while opening the left drawer.
There is a piece of paper with white characters on a black background quietly placed in the old drawer. There are a few lines of crooked text written on it. It is very sloppy and the meaning of the text is completely unrecognizable.
"Pressing the fingerprint will become the watcher. From now on, this drawer ghost will randomly select the ghost controller who is on duty that day, and the path leading to it will appear three times. As long as you do not step into the path, you will refuse to be on duty." Lieutenant Gao's voice sounded at the right time.
The benefits of being a watcher are quite good. If you are attacked by a ghost at a critical moment, there is a very small chance that you will encounter the guide on duty, and you may be able to escape from danger. With the identity of the day's watcher, other watchers will not block the entry into the Yinjie. Being a watcher can also bring other ghost masters into the Yinjie to help the other party ease the progress of the ghost's recovery. If it is done well, it should be possible. Gained many benefits.
Liang Xingyang took out the paper with white characters on the black background and rubbed it in his hand. The texture was no different from ordinary paper. There was a cold air hanging on it, but there was nothing special about it.
I pressed my fingerprint casually and put the paper back.
At the same time, he also let go of the limp little ghost hand and moved away from the mahogany desk.
"Click."
After Li Gui's arm lost its restraint, he immediately retracted into the drawer. The drawers on the left and right also slammed shut, and the strange desk where Li Gui was stored became quiet again.
Take out the red scissors.
The next moment.
Liang Xingyang's vision changed strangely, the surrounding light suddenly dimmed, and some terrifying things appeared around him.
An old wooden cabinet with peeling paint, a red balloon floating beside him, and besides, a child curled up into a ball appeared at his feet.
This is the curse presented by the drawer ghost, and it is also the true appearance of the ghost, not the mahogany table where it is stored.
Liang Xingyang didn't think it was anything. He dared to provoke the curse of the ghost closet, but he didn't take it seriously yet, just a drawer ghost.
However, this old one-story house may be hiding more than one evil ghost. He doesn't know how the drawer ghost controls the leading path.
This is a supernatural thing built by the older generation of ghost controllers. So far it is safe and controllable.
Liang Xingyang looked around the house without a strong desire to explore, so he left with Gao Wei.
Outside.
Zhou Pi, the man with the melon-skin hat, is still here. It seems that there is no guidance from Captain Gao. He cannot leave here casually unless he personally makes a deal with the evil ghost in the street.
Zhou Pi had a look of fear on his face and hatred hidden in his eyes. When he saw Liang Xingyang looking over, he immediately lowered his head and did not dare to come closer.
Liang Xingyang gently held the ghost necklace in his hand, which lifted the influence of the deceitful ghost on Gao Wei and restored his sanity.
After Gao Wei woke up, he immediately glared at Liang Xingyang. His memory had not disappeared, but he had been deceived by the supernatural before.
"I promised someone that I would not break the rules here. You are free to do whatever you want. If it takes you so long, I should go in."
Liang Xingyang said a few words, took a special look at Zhou Pi, who was afraid of him, and walked to the corner, walking into the real dark street.
"Is this the strength of a top ghost controller? It is simply unbelievably strong." Gao Wei murmured in a low voice.
"Bullshit top ghost controller, I curse this bastard. He will be bought and sold by evil ghosts when he enters. He will be lost in it forever. If the evil ghosts revive, it is best never to come out." Zhou Pi saw that the other party seemed to be walking away, He immediately gritted his teeth and said.
Gao Wei frowned. This kind of verbal curse was very harsh. After all, in order to alleviate the resurgence of the evil ghost in the body, many people had to venture into the Yin Street.
"Shut up, don't say..." he reprimanded, but he didn't finish his words yet.
Suddenly, Zhou Pi's face changed suddenly, he clutched his heart in pain, his clothes were wrinkled, and a terrifying deathly gray color quickly climbed onto his face.
"Save me..."
The next moment, his eyes suddenly widened, his face was frozen in pain and distortion, his body collapsed and fell, without any breath.
