"Dad, do you have three million?"

"Yes." My father looked at me puzzled, and suddenly laughed out loud with relief: "Haha, my foolish son, you finally have the idea to study abroad." Good, good! ”

I frowned and said unhappily, "No, I want you to buy six places for three million." ”

"What's your nerves again?" Dad sank his face.

I poured him a glass of water, sat down on the couch and said, "Well, I'm afraid you can't understand it in a normal way." Let's put it another way, do you think your son's life is important, or is it three million? ”

"Nonsense, of course it's a son." My father stared at me without blinking, and suddenly asked, "Did you encounter something strange again?" ”

"Yes, so if you don't buy those six places and tear them down, your son and I will definitely die."

"Three million...... Hmph, what are the six places? ”

I breathed a sigh of relief and laughed: "Building 97 of Da Nan Road, and the five old buildings around it. ”

A week later, the ghost building, along with its neighborhood bell towers, hotels, shopping malls, department stores, and entertainment centers, which had long been abandoned more than a decade ago, began to be demolished.

Since it was far from the city center, and it was a headache for the town government, the price was very cheap, but even if it was cheap, I didn't expect my father to buy it for only half the money, alas, the old stubborn was indeed a born businessman.

When demolishing Building 97 Da Nan Road, I asked my father to erect a conspicuous sign on the construction site, which read: "It is forbidden to bring apples inside, otherwise you will bear the consequences." ”

It took more than a month to demolish the buildings. During this time, I asked Shen Ke and Xu Lu to go to the café once.

"Is it over?" Section Chief Shen asked with a sigh.

I was silent for a moment, shook my head and said, "Maybe." In addition to the ghost building, a few days ago, workers found the body of the flower girl who was divided into five parts in the other five buildings.

"It was at that time that I made a shocking discovery, which was about the connection of the six buildings."

I took out a piece of paper and drew the locations of the six buildings and connected them together in straight lines.

Xu Lu stared at the piece of paper in confusion, but she really couldn't see what was false or real; Shen Ke also stared at it in a daze, constantly gesturing with his hand, and suddenly shouted in surprise: "Pentagram!" Clock towers, hotels, shopping malls, department stores, and entertainment centers make up the five corners of the pentagram. ”

"Not bad!" I nodded, "This is the so-called white pentagram in the West, it is said that it can make the body that is riddled with diseases better, and it is the harmless category that belongs to the pentagram." ”

"Harmless? So why are so many people dying? Shen Ke asked in a hurried voice.

I said slowly, "According to the occult of the West, it is indeed harmless in itself, but when its five corners are occupied by evil spirits or evil spirits, certain mutations occur. At the very center of the way, it will grow the resentment of the spirits to a point that we cannot imagine. ”

"Is that an explanation?" Shen Ke pondered for a while and asked, "But I remember that you and Xiaolu have encountered many strange things, and you always say that you have a close connection with that ghost building." How do you explain this? ”

"I still don't believe in ghosts. So there's a guess, a scientific point of speculation. I thought for a moment and continued, "The so-called resentful spirits are nothing more than derived energies. The pentagram is a concentrating ring, and when the energy is filled and can no longer be stored, it will overflow from that ghost building. Eligible people receive those energies, and then they are affected by the energies and have hallucinations or. ”

After a wry smile, I continued, "I looked into the causes of death of more than 100 people, and found a big thing in common - they all touched apples in the first room of that ghost building. According to the description of Wang Chengde's notebook, before the flower girl died, she was also clutching an apple in her hand, and we can guess that she must have some kind of strong bond with the apple. Strong enough that she wanted to kill everyone who touched the apple. Her dying attachment eventually affected the energy fluctuations. ”

"What kind of bond?" Xu Lu asked curiously.

"Maybe only Lu Ping and herself know." I sighed.

"How pitiful!" Xu Lu and Shen Ke took a deep breath.

"Don't worry, since we buried the body of the flower girl and destroyed the pentagram, the energy there has also disappeared because of the loss of gathering power. No one will die from it! ”

"But Wang Chengde should also be the target of the flower girl's revenge, why was he able to live unharmed in that ghost building for nearly ten years?" Shen Ke asked confusedly.

I smiled bitterly: "These things have no rules and reasons at all, if it is far-fetched speculation, maybe it is because Wang Chengde still has the value of living." ”

"That's right!" I pulled out a black iron box the size of a cigarette box from my pocket and placed it on the table, "This was dug out of that haunted house, do you know what it is?" ”

Shen Ke took it in his hand and checked it, "It's heavy, isn't it iron?" He flipped it over and suddenly exclaimed, "There's also a production address here." I leaned my head over and saw his finger on the words MadeinUSA.

"Made in the USA!" Shen Ke looked up at me in confusion.

"No, it's made in Japan." I pointed to the inscription of the 13th year of the Showa carved in a very inconspicuous place.

"But there's MadeinUSA in it! Is it wrong? Xu Lu was also puzzled.

I shook my head: "That's right. I remember reading in a book that there was a city called Usa in Japan, and until the end of World War II, all the products produced in that city would be labeled MadeinUSA. USA is the Japanese pinyin of Usa. ”

"That'...... So this thing is from before and after World War II?! Shen Ke was taken aback.

"Not bad! To be precise, it was made in 1938. I toyed with the iron-like thing in the palm of my hand, and my voice was low again.

"So do you have any idea about this thing?" Shen Ke leaned heavily on the back of his chair.

I smiled bitterly: "Not at all, but I think it must have a deep connection with that ghost building, and it is constantly connected." ”

"What connection?"

"I don't know. In short, I don't quite believe that this white pentagram was formed by accident, and the Japanese overseas Chinese named Lu Ping always felt that there was something wrong with him, and it seemed that he was not as innocent as he appeared. But who knows? I'm afraid that the truth will only be possible to find out if we go to Japan. I laughed dryly, stood up, and walked out.

This event seems to be over, but it seems that there are still many mysteries unsolved.

I've been wondering, why did I see that scene in the mirror? If I hadn't seen that scene, I might have been killed by Yang Shanshan. So, who saved me?

There is also Lu Ping, what he does is really not simple, and there seems to be some unknown secret.

Walking aimlessly down the street, I shook my head desperately, trying to get rid of all my worries, but in the end, I finally bought two bouquets of flowers and walked into the cemetery.

Mi Jingyun and Zhang Lu's tombstones are side by side, and in the photo, their smiles are beautiful and sweet, as if they know that I will come.

"I'm sorry I didn't go to the funeral for both of you." I gently placed the flower in front of the tomb and said softly, "Actually, I want to go, but I'm afraid, I'm really scared...... Because it's me, it's my curiosity that kills you! ”

looked at the photo of the two of them in a daze, and his heart ached like a knife. "Damn! Today's wind and sand are really big! "I wiped away the tears that had just come out of my hand, and finally broke my vow to never cry again......

Crying......
