Chapter 117: Guess
A person who has just experienced a terrorist incident should be terrified, not to mention exhausted mentally and physically, but now Guan Hua actually talks about everything about his daily work.
It seemed that this horrific accident triggered the resentment and sorrow deep in his heart, eroded his reason, and amplified his emotions.
The more Guan Hua talked, the more excited he became. Finally he stood up suddenly, grabbed the mineral water on the ground and threw it at Bai Luoxin.
His eyes were staring straight, his expression was blank, he opened his mouth wide, revealing the red mucous membrane inside, and shouted loudly: "Kill you moths and blood-sucking demons!"
Bai Luoxin didn't react and stood there blankly.
I walked up in one stride and stood in front of Bai Luoxin.
Wang Liqing was not slow in his movements. The moment Guan Hua burst out, he reached out and grabbed his collar, trying to catch him back.
Unexpectedly, his hand actually passed through Guan Hua's body and was exposed to the air.
Wang Liqing was stunned, his eyes filled with disbelief.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, I took out a soul-calming charm from my arms and put it on Guan Hua's head.
The soul-suppressing talisman burned instantly, and the flames made my cheeks red. I yelled softly: "Suppress!"
Guan Hua looked at me fiercely with a pair of malicious eyes. His figure gradually faded, and before disappearing, a strange smile suddenly appeared at the corner of his mouth.
He said: "Zhao Rui, I will come to you again."
This guy is also here for me?!
Guan Hua's body disappeared from the same place without any trace.
The mineral water bottle suspended in the air fell to the ground, the bottle broke, and the mineral water gurgled out.
Bai Luoxin's cheeks were slightly red and her almond-shaped eyes were bright: "Zhao Rui, you are so amazing! Can I learn this talisman?"
Zhang Geng danced and clapped his hands: "As expected of Brother Zhao, you are just a little devil, you can catch it! Brother Zhao, you worked hard just now to exorcise ghosts. Let me give you a massage tonight. I learned it by watching videos in the past two days..."
I ignored them and instead looked at each other with Wang Liqing, both of whom saw the vigilance and inquiry in each other's eyes.
Guan Hua is actually a ghost?!
It was Wang Liqing who helped him in, and I didn't see anything unusual. How could this happen?!
The owner of the small shop suddenly yawned, slowly put his reading glasses into the case, and said seriously:
"I should have warned you not to go out. You have to go through this. Oh, it's so boring to do this every day!"
I turned to look at the owner of the small shop. He was a very old man. The wrinkles on his face were many and deep, like ravines, marking the traces of time.
"Boss, do you know what's going on with Guan Hua?"
The old man didn't answer my question, but asked me: "What kind of talisman are you using? It looks a little strange to me."
I stared at the old man and showed a kind smile: "The boss is well-informed and seems to have studied talismans."
The old man nodded proudly: "It's not bad. There are many rest stops on the road that must pass through Lop Nur. I've met many of them, so I know a thing or two."
I took out a soul-calming charm from my arms and handed it to him.
The old man looked at it for a long time and nodded.
Wang Liqing frowned, slammed the table and said, "You knew there would be problems if you went out, why didn't you make it clear?! How did you create Guan Hua's image and pretend to be a ghost to scare people?!"
The old man's face darkened, he raised his eyes and glanced at Wang Liqing, and said slowly: "It's not easy for you either. Your family is short of water. I'll give you a box as a greeting to your family."
His words were normal, but I could clearly see beads of sweat appearing on Wang Liqing's forehead.
Wang Liqing seemed a little scared, but what was he afraid of?
Wang Liqing pursed his lips, and finally said coldly: "Don't worry, there are ways to survive without water."
The old man raised his head and looked at Wang Liqing with a half-smile: "Then... I wish you all a smooth journey across Lop Nur."
Wang Liqing looked at him for a moment, looked away, and said in a strange voice, as if squeezed out of his throat: "Thank you then."
After Wang Liqing finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the small hotel without looking at the three of us again.
After he left, the atmosphere got better.
The old man shook his head slightly and continued to observe the Soul Calming Talisman.
"Little brother, how much does this talisman cost? Can you sell me one?"
When Zhang Geng heard the money, he immediately rushed over and said, "One thousand yuan a piece, buy ten and get one free. How many do you want to buy, sir?"
In order to make money, Zhang Geng even used the honorific title.
The old man blinked, probably not expecting Zhang Geng to open his mouth like a lion.
I blocked Zhang Geng and said with a smile: "He's just kidding, I'll give you this one as a gift. If you buy it, I'll give you a 50% discount and five hundred yuan a piece. What do you think?"
The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, not bad."
As he spoke, he folded the Soul Calming Talisman and carefully put it into his pocket.
Zhang Geng still wanted to speak, but I held him down with my palm.
I turned my head and winked at Bai Luoxin.
Although Bai Luoxin usually has a strange mind and thinks of random things from time to time, he is still reliable at critical moments.
She understood what I meant, grabbed Zhang Geng and left the small shop and walked into the small hotel.
As soon as Zhang Geng opened his mouth to argue, Bai Luoxin bared his teeth and shook his bag. There was a kitchen knife in it.
Zhang Geng immediately lowered his head and followed her honestly.
The old man and I were the only ones left in the house.
"Tell me, send them away. What do you want to ask?"
The old man was quite perceptive and understood what I meant immediately.
I was not vague and went straight to the point: "What's going on with Guan Hua?"
"What do you think is going on?"
I came to him to inquire, but he was so kind that he actually asked me questions.
"It's neither human nor demon, it's a ghost."
"good."
"How did he die?"
The old man raised his eyebrows, took out a pack of tobacco from under the counter, and slowly rolled up a cigarette.
"Think carefully about what he said."
"Is what he said true? He experienced horrific events during his lifetime, and then jumped out of the window and died..."
The old man rolled the cigarette very quickly. He licked the cigarette paper and rolled the cigarette easily.
I picked up the lighter from the side and helped him light the cigarette.
The smoke rose, blurring the outline of the old man, then spread above the head, turning into thin lines, and then disappeared.
The old man took a puff of his cigarette with satisfaction, and then said slowly: "People can lie, and so can ghosts. Especially ghosts who died violently. They often only remember the unbearable and sad experiences they experienced during their lives. They will tell lies once and for all at the place where their accident occurred."
Repeat the scene before death.
They will lie to themselves and distort the reality around them into what they like.
You can only half-believe ghosts like Guan Hua.
