This is not a weird story

"We were on the third floor at that time..." Luo Xiaoya said, pointing in one direction upstairs, "There was a jewelry store there, and we were choosing decorations there. Then there were other customers in the store, including us and two clerks. I was sucked into the ghost stories.”

Wei An followed the direction of her finger and saw that the store had been closed, with a seal on it, and was no longer open for the time being.

Investigator Hu Fei has entered the store to collect evidence and conducted some searches with detectors, but found no useful information.

I believe that this kind of occasional strange story may not appear here again next time.

Among the people who died in the ghost story, the bodies of two people appeared in the jewelry store after the ghost story ended, but the bodies of two others remained in the ghost story, including Zhou Xin again.

For those who knew Zhou Xin, they all thought that this guy was unlucky and that he had encountered all kinds of things that he shouldn't have encountered.

Wei An nodded and said: "This case is in charge of another investigator in our bureau. They named this strange story 'The Conjuring'. I have read the general plot, and the bureau also learned from your dictation." It was sorted out. What I want to know is that the seven of you were briefly separated after entering the ghost story. Were you and Zhou Xin also separated at that time? "

Luo Xiaoya shook her head, "No, the others separated from us, but Zhou Xin and I were always together. We were very scared. No matter what we did at that time, we were together and never let each other out of our sight."

Wei An said: "I once told Zhou Xin what he should do if he encounters a ghost story. He knows some basic common sense. Although he has not experienced it personally, I think he will adapt to the ghost story more easily than other participants. environment of."

Luo Xiaoya seemed to be recalling, "He did tell me some common sense, and we were very careful at the beginning. Although we were scared when we saw ghosts, we didn't encounter any danger at that time."

"The soul summoning in this ghost story requires each of you to summon the soul once, and then complete it one by one according to the request made by the ghost after it appears. If the request is not fulfilled, the person will die." Wei Wei An said: "Is this the actual situation?"

"Yes." Luo Xiaoya nodded, "The investigator not only asked me, but also asked two other survivors like me. We all summoned ghosts and completed the requirements of these ghosts."

"That is to say, Zhou Xin summoned a ghost, but failed to complete the request made by the other party?" Wei An asked: "Is the difficulty of this request the same? Or is it random? Although you completed it, it is possible that you are more difficult than the other party. Are others more difficult?”

"Randomly, some with low difficulty, some with high difficulty." Luo Xiaoya said: "But there are also some with low difficulty that have not been completed. Zhou Xin's ghost asked him to eat himself."

"Eating ghosts?" Wei An was shocked.

This detail was not reflected in the transcript of investigator Hu Fei. It should be that Luo Xiaoya had not yet recalled it at the time.

"Do you all know other people's tasks?" Wei An asked.

Luo Xiaoya shook her head: "I was told by Zhou Xin. Some of the others were together, and some were completing tasks separately. I don't know."

"Are you in a group just the two of you, or with someone else?"

"It was just the two of us at the beginning, but later others asked to join in, saying that the chance of survival would be higher if we stayed together like this." Luo Xiaoya answered.

“It is true that the probability of survival will increase after joining a team, but that is only when the collective task is completed. If the task is only related to a single person and cannot be completed with the help of other people, the actual significance of joining a team is not great. "Weian said.

Having said this, he looked at Luo Xiaoya, "When you are completing a single task, if you are helped from the side by others, for example, you have to climb somewhere, and other people hold the ladder or stabilize the ladder for you. The stool you are standing on, does this count as helping you complete your task?"

Luo Xiaoya shook her head, and then nodded again, "It seemed possible, but then Zhou Xin was ready to help me, but was banned by Kaitan."

"In other words, you can help, but there is a limit." Wei An said.

After a pause, he added: "Now it seems that he was killed because he could not eat the ghost. So what is your mission?"

Luo Xiaoya replied: "I went to the rooftop pool to scoop a bucket of water back to the room. There is a reservoir on the roof, and what I summoned back was a water ghost. She was waiting for me in the reservoir. At that time, I mentioned I ran desperately with the bucket of water, and Zhou Xin closed the door for me behind to stop the water ghost from chasing me. Then that section of the journey was deemed invalid by the monster negotiation. Zhou Xin did not dare to help anymore, and later half of the water in the bucket spilled out, and I only need to carry the bucket with water back to the room to complete the task, so it is considered a success."

Wei An listened carefully and nodded.

At this time Luo Xiaoya asked: "Wei An, you have been asking about the details of this strange story. Do you think there is anything weird about it? Zhou Xin is dead, and I don't know why his body has not come out, but he is indeed in my The one killed by the ghost in front of him was the one he didn't eat."

"How did you kill him?" Wei An asked.

Luo Xiaoya said: "It seemed like he was possessed. The ghost lay on his body, and he started screaming. White gas came out of his body, as if his body temperature suddenly increased and his flesh was rotten and melted. At that time The scene... I didn't dare to look at it. I wanted to drive the ghost away, but a force pushed me away, and then another participant pulled me away."

"Participant? One of the three survivors?" Wei An frowned.

"Yeah, a young man." Luo Xiaoya nodded.

"Have you all known each other before?" Wei An continued to ask.

Luo Xiaoya shook her head and suddenly asked: "Are you doubting what I said?"

"No." Wei An said: "I am also an investigator, and I have dealt with more ghost stories than investigator Hu Fei. Regarding the details of the ghost story cases, some issues must be investigated clearly."

"Okay, if you still don't know anything, you can ask me. If you remember it later, you can call me and ask me." Luo Xiaoya said.

"Let's go up and take a look now." Wei An stood up.

This was also the reason why he chose to meet Luo Xiaoya in this shopping mall. After listening to the other party's introduction, he went to the place where the strange story happened to check carefully. This was not only responsible for Zhou Xin, but also what Wei An believed he had to do to his friends. .

"Ah, go up?" Luo Xiaoya looked obviously a little scared.

Wei An said: "It's okay. The chance of a ghost story happening there is the same as the chance we are standing here. If a ghost story is going to happen, it can also happen here."

Luo Xiaoya nodded slightly, followed Wei An and took the sightseeing elevator on the first floor to the third floor.

This jewelry store was not far from the sightseeing elevator. It was two stores away. Wei An took out the key he had prepared and pressed the button on the remote control towards the electric gate.

The electric gate was quickly activated and began to rise slowly.

"By the way, I heard Zhou Xin say that you went abroad some time before he was planning to propose to you?"

"Well, I went out to play with my relatives." Luo Xiaoya said, "If I had known better, I wouldn't have gone out. If we prepare a new house in advance and buy things in advance, maybe we can avoid this strange story."

Not long after he finished speaking, the electric gate in front of him was completely opened. The store was dark, and a cold breath hit his face. Luo Xiaoya suddenly shuddered and couldn't help but take a step back.
