Chapter 102 - Summoning the Soul

After getting on the car in the rain, I asked Shen Qing what was the situation, but she said that she was not clear, it was Zhao Qi who called her to inform her to rush to East Ward, that there was a murder, and that she had to call me.

East Ward? Old He was locked up there.

We rushed all the way to the east city and reached the jail. Looking at the time, it was exactly 12 o'clock.

Shen Qing called Zhao Qi and very quickly, Zhao Qi drove out and brought us in.

After parking the car, Zhao Qi turned around and looked at me and said:

"The situation is a little special. You might want to meet someone first."

"Who is it?" I asked.

"He Shangsheng."

"Old He?"

"Landlord?"

Shen Qing and I were equally shocked.

After entering the door, Zhao Qi brought the two of us to an office on the second floor.

Upon entering, he saw a fat old man sitting in a chair, smoking with his legs crossed. It was Old He.

Behind the desk, an old policeman with short hair like a hedgehog was also smoking a cigarette.

The ashtray on the table was full of cigarette butts.

"Old Lin, this is our department's Xu Huo, Shen Qing." Zhao Qi introduced the place to us, "This is Lin Dong, Superintendent Lin."

Shen Qing saluted Lin Dong and I nodded at him.

With a cigarette in his mouth, Old He squinted at me. "You're here. Did you bring the guys?"

"What do you mean?" I asked doubtfully. Why did the old man come here? To think that he received such preferential treatment.

Lin Dong frowned and said:

"Two of our colleagues had a problem in the evening when they went to the old warehouse to pick up their stuff. When we found them, one was dead, the other. The other is still unconscious. "

Old He snorted, "What coma? I told you, he has lost his soul!"

Lin Dong and Zhao Qi shot a glance at each other, revealing a complicated expression.

Still not understanding the situation, I asked hesitantly, "Where are the living?"

Old He took a cigarette and stuck it in his ear, then stood up and looked at Lin Dong.

Lin Dong stood up and opened his mouth, as though he wanted to say something. In the end, he sighed, "Come with me."

Back on the first floor, in a room at the end, two policemen were smoking at the door.

I looked at the sign on the door. The infirmary.

Upon entering, he saw a person lying on a small bed covered in white sheets.

A white-coat scientist sat behind his desk in a daze.

When I saw what the white coat looked like, I couldn't help but be stunned.

It was actually Tang Xi's boyfriend, Jiang Huaibo. I didn't expect him to be a medical staff at the jail.

"Superintendent Lin." Jiang Huaibo stood up, and was also taken aback when he saw me, "You … You are Xu … Forensic Medicine Xu? "

I nodded. She thought he was nervous the last time, so his speech wasn't as fast. She didn't expect him to really stutter.

Thinking about makeup artist Tang Xi, I had an indescribable feeling. I don't want to say I'm jealous and jealous, but that's the way it is.

Zhao Qi pointed to the person on the bed, and said to me: "His name is Qian Tao, and he is the one taught by the Institute."

I walked over to the bed and stared at the person on it.

This person was very young, no more than 25 or 26 years old. He wore a dirty police uniform with several holes in it, as if he had just come out from a hole in the ground.

What was strange was that while he was lying there motionless, his eyes were staring at the ceiling and not moving at all.

Despite the anger in his eyes, I picked up his wrist. His pulse was steady, but it was beating very slowly.

He raised his hand and waved it in front of his eyes. Unexpectedly, he didn't even have a natural reaction.

"What are you still looking at? Hurry up and take out the brush and cinnabar." The Old He said.

I hesitated, then took a brush and cinnabar from my bag and handed them to him.

After thinking for a bit, he took out a Yellow Talisman and took out. Then, he chanted a few incantations and patted Qian Tao's spiritual altar.

As soon as he took his hand away, it was as if an invisible wind was blowing, and the paper talisman fluttered and fell to the side.

My heart skipped a beat as my soul and spirit really weren't together.

"Which sect are you from? This rune is truly strange. "

Old He frowned as he said this. He dipped a brush into the cinnabar and drew a glyph on Qian Tao's forehead.

I looked at the talisman and couldn't help but ask, "What is the use of this talisman?"

The Old He said slowly:

"There are so many bad guys locked up here. It's not like your Public Security Building with its Vast Righteous Energy. Now that he had lost his soul, if a wandering ghost were to see him and take over his physical body, he would be in deep trouble. I have used talismans to guard his spiritual altar so that the other souls cannot enter. "

Seeing Zhao Qi looking at me, I could only nod my head.

What Old He said was indeed correct, it's just that I couldn't react in time, so I wasn't able to make an accurate judgement.

The Old He turned around and said arrogantly:

"What are you still standing there for? Do you still need me to tell you what to do next?"

I bitterly smiled. If I lost my soul, of course I had to call back my soul. The problem was that I didn't know how to call back my soul.

I told the truth to Old He: "I don't know how to summon souls."

The old man was stunned at first, but soon a look of confusion appeared in his eyes.

"Give me the yellow paper and the peach wood sword." The Old He said.

I took out two pieces of yellow paper, and then I took out the mahogany nail to ask if it was working.

Old He took the wooden nail and his eyes turned cold, "Nine Moon-Peach Tree!"

He suddenly glared fiercely at me: "Xu Huo, you aren't being unorthodox, are you?"

I was stunned for a moment before recovering and sadly said:

"My classmate's family members were burned to death. He couldn't take the blow and hanged himself in his own peach orchard. This yin peach tree is his …"

Old He interrupted me and said, "Sorry, it was this old man who was thinking too much."

Now that I know that Old He is a ghost person, I naturally understand why he had the question just now.

The Yin Tao wood could only be created by hanging a person on a September Yang Peach. Blind Liu once said that some unscrupulous exorcist would scheme to kill a person to obtain the Yin Tao wood, in order to achieve their goal.

This was the reason why Old He had such a reaction when he first saw the Yin Tao wood.

This proved that the old man was at most a bit of a money grubber, and his heart wasn't bad at all.

Old He first tore apart a piece of yellow paper that resembled a paper man and placed it on Qian Tao's chest.

Then, he dipped a brush in cinnabar and drew a talisman on the yellow paper. He asked Lin Dong about his birthday and wrote his name on the Yellow Talisman.

He lit the Yellow Talisman on fire, used the mahogany nail to incite it, straightened his body, then started to walk in a gossipy position with his feet on the ground. He then started to chant an incantation: The sun shines in the sky, the earth is bright, the sky is bright, the earth is upside down, the dao is learned, the yin and yang is peaceful, the four sided ghost gods, under my orders, all the ghosts captured, immediately release! The Three Pure Ones were extremely anxious!

My heart chilled. This old man was actually from the Three Purities Sect.

Old He only recited the chant once, but his steps didn't stop. He had the aura of a dragon and tiger, as if he was a completely different person compared to his previous vulgar appearance.

After the time it took to make a cup of tea, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his forehead.

He suddenly stopped in his tracks as the mahogany nail pointed straight at the paper man and said loudly:

"Returning to my altar of three souls and seven souls, report to me immediately!"

Following his shout, the paper man on Qian Tao's chest actually moved. It was as if he was alive, struggling to stand up.

However, after barely being able to lift his body up a few times, he fell down again.

Old He's face changed as he recited another incantation once again. He raised his voice:

"Returning to my altar of three souls and seven souls, report to me immediately!"

With three consecutive shouts, the paper man struggled even more violently, but was still unable to stand up.

Old He's posture stopped, he staggered a few steps back, and fell into his chair. He panted heavily and said:

"Not good, not only did he lose his soul, but he was also controlled by other ghosts!"

"Then what should I do?" Lin Dong asked anxiously.

If it was said that Lin Dong and the rest were suspicious of his words, then after seeing the paper man struggling, even if they did not have any doubts, they still believed eighty to ninety percent of it.

"What else can we do? We'll find it wherever it is." Old He wiped his sweat and his face turned a little waxy yellow. He had obviously expended a lot of energy.

Zhao Qi's eyes flashed, and said: "They met with troubles in the old warehouse."

"How did this happen?" Shen Qing could not help but ask.

Lin Dong frowned as he looked at Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi shook his head, feeling conflicted.

"After on-site investigation, another woman was thrown from a shelf, resulting in death from a broken neck fracture. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... It might have been an accident. "

Lin Dong said: "When we discovered something was wrong, Little Qian fell in the corner, and that was the case."

Old He slapped his thigh and said anxiously:

"Now is not the time to talk. After the fifth fragment of the night has passed, his soul will be invaded by the ghost and he won't be able to return! Hurry up and go find him! "
