Chapter 153: Man-made Disaster
The aura was really weak, so weak that Chen Xing couldn't even determine whether it really existed...
Perhaps, it was just an illusion caused by one's imagination...
In fact, this was not Chen Xing's illusion. Behind him, there was really a person squatting.
A man shrouded in a black cloak.
Lin Zhen.
...
Last night, Lin Zhen was wandering around Yijiang City as usual.
Since there have been no evil spirits in recent days, Lin Zhen’s daily activities are to patrol around Chen Xing’s house for a few times and then to see if Chen Yue’s condition has improved.
But as he walked, Lin Zhen suddenly felt something was wrong and immediately took out the "Yin and Yang Tracking Plate" in his arms.
It doesn't matter when it looks like this, but I only saw the pointer of the "Yin and Yang Tracking Disk", which rotates rapidly like an electric fan!
There are only two possible situations.
1. The "Yin and Yang Tracking Plate" is broken;
2. A large number of evil spirits appeared in Yijiang City.
Lin Zhen automatically blocked the first possibility, so the only one left is the second one.
Lin Zhen made a quick decision and immediately recited the mantra to stabilize the "Yin and Yang Tracing Plate" and pointed out the direction of the evil spirits one by one.
Afterwards, Lin Zhen followed the compass' guidance and went to kill the evil spirit.
However, this trip was a waste of effort.
Lin Zhen followed the compass' guidance and ran all night, but saw nothing.
This feeling is like the evil spirit knows that someone is tracking it, so he keeps avoiding it.
However, this makes no sense. The "Yin Yang Tracking Disk" rotates rapidly, indicating that many evil spirits suddenly appeared in Yijiang City. There is no reason to run all night and see nothing...
In desperation, Lin Zhen began to consider the first possibility, that is, something might have happened to the "Yin Yang Tracking Plate"...
However, when the master passed on the "Yin and Yang Tracking Plate" to himself, he did not say how to practice it if it breaks.
Lin Zhen believes that perhaps in the eyes of his master, this "Yin and Yang Tracking Plate" will not be broken at all...
Seeing that dawn was approaching, Lin Zhen could only lift the magic spell cast on the "Yin and Yang Static Tracking Plate".
However, as soon as the mantra was lifted, the compass pointer began to rotate again.
This time, Lin Zhen originally planned to ignore it, but after turning the pointer for a few rounds, he actually stopped by himself.
After all, the "Yin Yang Tracking Pan" had no fault before. Although Lin Zhen had doubts, he still decided to follow the guidance of the compass.
This followed and then returned to the south of the city.
However, this time, it was not nothing.
The compass guided Lin Zhen to a bungalow with an open courtyard gate.
Before entering it, Lin Zhen saw that there were continuous black air in the bungalow courtyard...
This is the aura of evil spirits, and there will be no mistakes.
Lin Zhen put away his compass, pulled out his kitchen knife, prepared for battle, and sneaked into the yard quietly.
The route he chose was not to go to the main entrance, but to jump onto the wall lightly and look down at the entire courtyard from a high place.
It doesn't matter when Lin Zhen saw it at first sight, and he found that a boy's body was lying on campus, near the gate of the courtyard.
It seems that he was hanging to death...
Is the hanged ghost harming people? Lin Zhen had speculation in his heart.
This hanged ghost is commonly known as the "hanged ghost" and "old hang master". Some of them commit suicide and some kill him, but the cause of death must be caused by ropes and suffocation.
If a person with this kind of death is obsessed with or resentment does not dissipate, he will become a hanged ghost.
"The Evil Spirits and Evils" records: If a hanged ghost who commits suicide will look for living people who also have suicidal thoughts, quietly entangle them around them, and constantly instill with their own yin energy.
People who are tangled by hanged ghosts will become more and more depressed, and the idea of suicide will become stronger due to its influence, until they are eventually bewitched by them and commit suicide by hanging themselves.
After they die, the hanged ghost will swallow its soul to enhance its own strength.
If it was a hanged ghost who died, it would not be so "gentle".
They will directly look for targets, most of which are people with the elderly, young, sick and disabled, or who have just recovered from serious illness and weak yang fire.
Once entangled, the hanged ghost will whisper behind him while he is alone: "When is it?"
Once the person answers, it is equivalent to having a head-on conversation with the hanged ghost. The hanged ghost will take this opportunity to manipulate the other party and directly hang himself.
Judging from the boy's appearance, Lin Zhen analyzed that he must have encountered a second type of hanged ghost, which is the deadly hanged ghost.
Although the hanged ghost rarely stays in place after harming people, Lin Zhen still recites a mantra to the point of being safe, "The heaven and the earth are yin, and the great way is rotated, and you can prove my supernatural powers and open your eyes!"
After reading it, my fingers touched my eyes, and a gleam flashed in my eyes!
In Lin Zhen's sight, everything in the courtyard changed.
Straws of black air connected into veins and spread into the bungalow ahead...
Lin Zhen's eyes could directly penetrate the walls of the bungalow and see the general scene inside.
Lin Zhen was shocked at this glance.
There was actually a body in the bungalow!
And from Lin Zhen’s perspective, the corpse seems to have no head yet!
In this way, it is not just a simple matter of hanging ghosts and harming people...
His eyes swept across the surroundings quickly, and Lin Zhen could confirm that the evil spirit that harmed people had left here.
As the saying goes, knowing yourself and your enemy, you will win every battle. Lin Zhen immediately jumped into the courtyard and quickly entered the bungalow, wanting to check what it was that killed the people in the house...
The evil spirit harms people just to devour their souls. Therefore, all of these victims have been scattered and become the energy in the evil spirits' bodies.
Otherwise, Lin Zhen only needs to prepare talismans and recite the mantras to summon the souls of the deceased and ask about the cause of his death.
In this situation, Lin Zhen can only use a "stupid method" to judge what harmed them based on the remaining yin energy and death conditions on the deceased.
Generally speaking, whether it is "evil monsters" or "ghosts and evil spirits", each evil spirit has different ways of harming people.
Lin Zhen, who has already understood the "Evil Spirits and Evils" in his heart, can naturally distinguish the differences.
However, the corpse in the room made Lin Zhen a little confused.
The "pregnant ghost", "bulimia", "heart-eating ghost" and "stood ghost" recorded in "The Legend of Evil Spirits" will harm people in this way.
To tell which kind of evil spirit is doing, we must check whether the victim's organs are missing.
If the heart is missing, it is done by the "heart-eating ghost". If all of them are gone, it is a "bulimia"; if the victim is a woman and the uterus is missing, it is mostly caused by the "pregnant ghost". As for the "gut-piercing ghost", as the name suggests, it will take away the victim's intestines...
