Chapter 19 The Situation at Home
No one was at home, so the room was quiet, and the curtains were still tightly closed, making the living room look very dark.
Leng Yue closed the door and put the array disk he was holding back into his backpack, and without waiting for Xia Qi to say anything, he went from room to room.
Xia Qi sat on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigarette while waiting for the result on the cold moon's side.
Last time, because his parents were there, he didn't let Leng Yue take a good look, but this time it was different, Leng Yue had plenty of time to inspect the entire house.
Leng Yue turned the whole room back and forth, and then he returned to the living room and said to Xia Qi:
"Do you have pen and paper?"
"Is a carbon pen okay?"
"As long as you can write."
Although he didn't know what Leng Yue was doing when he suddenly asked him to find a pen and paper, Leng Yue would never do meaningless things, so he quickly followed Leng Yue's instructions and found a few pieces of pure white A4 paper and a black carbon pen.
"Let's see."
Xia Qi put the pen and paper on the coffee table in front of the sofa, and Leng Yue only nodded symbolically after reading it, then picked up the carbon pen and began to sketch on the paper.
Xia Qi looked at it curiously, and saw that Leng Yue's sketch on the paper was very much like a time hourglass, divided into two parts.
"What are you drawing?"
"This is the formation that is arranged in your house."
As he spoke, Leng Yue pointed to the pattern on the paper that looked like an hourglass of time and said:
"During the day, your mother's ghost is sealed in the illusion above, and at night, it is released into the middle normal period, which is the intersection of the upper and lower parts. So your mom is able to act like a normal person at night.
But then it enters the second half of its unconscious wandering, like most wandering spirits, wandering unconsciously.
After that, the formation will be reversed, and your mother will enter the intersection point again from the previous bottom. Back to normal again. This is the time when she wakes up early to go to work, and then she enters the first half of the illusion, and so on. ”
Xia Qi was secretly speechless, he originally just thought that his grandfather had arranged a formation at home, which could make his mother live like a normal person, but now listening to Leng Yue's explanation, this is completely different from what he imagined.
Seeing that Xia Qi was silent, Leng Yue glanced at the pattern on the paper and continued:
"I think you're going to be very confused about one thing. Since your mom only has a handful of two time slots that are clear, why would you still be able to call her? ”
"yes, I thought I might have been manipulated by my grandfather, but now it doesn't seem to be."
"It's actually very easy to achieve, because as long as something pretends to be your mother, it's good to talk to you on the phone normally."
"Impersonation? What do you mean? ”
"For example, raise a little ghost and let it pretend to be your mother and answer your calls on weekdays. This is for a person who can arrange this formation. It's not that hard. ”
"My grandfather was really thoughtful."
Xia Qi shook his head with a wry smile after hearing this, the person who had been talking to him on the phone for a long time was not his mother at all. It's a little ghost raised by his grandfather.
"Raising little ghosts, is my grandfather a corpse keeper?"
"Raising a ghost is not a corpse keeper's patent, if I want to, I can also try to raise a ghost."
Leng Yue shook her head after hearing this, and did not agree with Xia Qi's opinion.
"And where is that little ghost raised by grandpa?"
"It's in your house."
"But I don't feel it in the slightest."
"It's on that Barbie doll."
"You said that the ghost thing that lives on Barbie's body is the little ghost who talks to me on the phone on weekdays?"
Xia Qi looked at Leng Yue and asked with some suspicion:
"But when it attacked me the night before. The strength shown is far more than just a little ghost.,It's clearly a ghost thing that is infinitely close to a ghost.。 ”
"As an eye, it absorbs the resentment from the destroyed ghosts every day, and it would be strange if it was still a ghost for so long.
But if I'm not mistaken. Your grandfather should change a little ghost as a formation eye every once in a while, otherwise, the little ghost used as an array eye is afraid that no matter how bad it is, it will also be a peak evil ghost.
The reason why I didn't let you touch that doll was because it was the eye of the array, and once you threw it away, then the array would be over. ”
After Leng Yue said this, Xia Qi couldn't help but recall the scene of that night in his mind, he remembered that the wall in the bedroom cracked with the crack of the ghost doll, which showed that the little ghost who was sealed in the Barbie doll wanted to break through his grandfather's seal and escape from the formation eye, so as to make the formation destroy and restore freedom.
Fortunately, his grandfather cautiously kept a hand, otherwise, not only would that night be hung up by himself, but even his parents would probably be inevitable.
"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to solve this mystery for a long time."
Xia Qi sighed, and at this time looked at the expressionless Leng Yue and said:
"Thank you for being cold."
"Humph!"
Leng Yue's sudden thanks to Xia Qi not only did not say anything, but instead looked very unhappy, and asked with a cold snort:
"Where's that Barbie?"
"It should be in my bedroom."
Xia Qi and Leng Yue walked into his bedroom and found the terrifying-looking Barbie doll in the closet.
Leng Yue took the Barbie doll out of the cupboard, looked at it, and threw it into the cabinet again.
"There's no way I can dispose of this thing, after all, it's sealed inside as an array eye."
Hearing Leng Yue say that there was nothing she could do about that ghost doll, Xia Qi couldn't help asking:
"Can you feel it, then?"
"I can feel it, but it's not as obvious as the last time I came to your house, he seems to be weakened."
Xia Qi was a little surprised by Leng Yue's perception, in fact, he couldn't feel the existence of the ghost thing at all, which also made him very puzzled and asked:
"Why don't I have a sense of ghosts?"
"I don't have a perception of it, but I have a perception of the formation. Because it is the eye of the formation, I can feel its existence.
Under normal circumstances, if a ghost wants to hide, we can't sense it. ”
He remembered that Leng Yue seemed to have said the same thing to him, but he didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
Xia Qi already has a number of his own situation, and he has no ability to solve this mess at the moment, so he doesn't bother to think about it, after all, it will not make the situation at home improve in the slightest except that it will make him anxious and make his mood very bad.
"By the way, Leng Shen, there is something I almost forgot to tell you." (To be continued.) )
