Mysterious country

Chapter 373 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 formation board he was holding back into his backpack, and before Xia Qi could say anything, he turned around from room to room.

Xia Qi sat on the sofa in the living room, smoking a cigarette while waiting for the result from Leng Yue.

Last time, because his parents were there, Leng Yue didn't let Leng Yue take a good look, but this time it was different, Leng Yue had enough time to inspect the whole house.

Leng Yue turned the whole room back and forth, then he returned to the living room and said to Xia Qi:

"Do you have a pen and paper?"

"Will a carbon pen work?"

"As long as you can write."

Although I don't know what Leng Yue suddenly asked him to find paper and pen, but Leng Yue would never do meaningless things, so he quickly followed Leng Yue's instructions and found a few pure white A4 papers, and A black carbon pen.

"See if it works."

Xia Qi put the pen and paper on the tea table in front of the sofa, Leng Yue just nodded symbolically after seeing it, then picked up the carbon pen and began to draw on the paper.

Xia Qi watched curiously, and saw that Leng Yue's sketch on the paper looked like an hourglass of time, divided into upper and lower parts.

"What is this you drew?"

"This is the array arranged in your house."

As she said that, Leng Yue pointed to the pattern on the paper that looked like a time hourglass and said:

"During the day, your mother's ghost will be sealed in the illusion above, and at night, it will be released into the normal period in the middle, which is the intersection of the upper part and the lower part, so your mother can Be like a normal person at night.

But after that, it will enter the second half of unconscious wandering, just like most wandering souls, wandering unconsciously.

And after that, the formation will be reversed, and your mother will re-enter the intersection point from the previous bottom, and return to normal again.This is the time period when she gets up early to go to work, and then she will enter the first half of the illusion, and so on. "

Xia Qi was listening secretly, he just thought that grandpa arranged a formation at home to allow his mother to 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 must be very confused about one thing. Since your mother only has a few clear periods of time, why do you still call her?"

"Yeah, I thought I might have been tampered with by grandpa, but now it doesn't seem to be the case."

"This is actually very easy to achieve, because as long as there is something pretending to be your mother, it will be fine to answer and call you normally."

"Pretend? What do you mean?"

"For example, raise a little ghost, let it pretend to be your mother, and answer your phone calls on weekdays. This is not a difficult task for a person who can arrange this formation."

"My grandfather is really thoughtful."

After Xia Qi heard this, he smiled wryly and shook his head. The person he had been talking to on the phone for a long time was not his mother at all, but a kid raised by his grandfather.

"Raising little ghosts, is my grandfather a corpse raiser?"

"Raising little ghosts is not exclusive to corpse breeders. If I want to, I can also try to raise a little ghost."

Leng Yue shook her head after hearing this, and did not agree with Xia Qi's point of view.

"Where is that little ghost raised by grandpa?"

"It's at your house."

"But I don't feel it at all."

"It's on that Barbie doll."

"You said that the ghost living on the Barbie doll is the little ghost who usually talks to me on the phone?"

Xia Qi looked at Leng Yue suspiciously and asked:

"But when it attacked me the night before yesterday, it showed far more strength than a little ghost. It was clearly a ghost infinitely close to an evil ghost."

"As the eye of the formation, it absorbs the grievances from the eliminated ghosts every day. For such a long time, it would be strange if it was still a little ghost.

But if I'm not wrong, your grandfather should change a little ghost as the formation eye every once in a while, otherwise, no matter how bad the formation eye is, the little ghost will be a peak evil ghost.

The reason why I don't let you touch that doll is because it is the eye of the formation, once it is thrown away by you, then the formation will be finished. "

After Leng Yue finished speaking, Xia Qi couldn't help recalling the scene of that night in his mind. He remembered that the walls in the bedroom had cracks along with the cracks of the ghost doll. It can be seen that the little ghost sealed in the Barbie doll is He wanted to break through his grandfather's seal and escape from the eyes of the formation, so that the formation would be destroyed and his freedom restored.

Fortunately, it was his grandfather who kept his hand cautiously, otherwise, not only would he have made up his mind that night, but his parents might also be unavoidable.

"If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I won't be able to solve this mystery for a long time."

Xia Qi sighed, then looked at the expressionless Leng Yue and said:
"Thank you for being cold."

"Humph!"

Leng Yue's sudden thanks to Xia Qi not only didn't catch a cold, but seemed very upset, and asked with a cold snort:
"Where's the Barbie doll?"

"It should be in my bedroom."

Xia Qi and Leng Yue walked into his bedroom and found that terrifying Barbie doll in the closet.

Leng Yue took the Barbie doll out of the cabinet, and after looking at it, threw it back into the cabinet.

"I have no way to dispose of this thing, after all, it is sealed inside as a formation eye."

Hearing Leng Yue say that there is nothing she can do about that ghost doll, Xia Qi couldn't help but ask:
"Then can you feel its presence?"

"I can feel it, but it's not as obvious as it was when I came to your house last time. 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 that ghost at all, which made him very puzzled and asked:
"Why do I have no perception of ghosts?"

"I am not aware of it, but 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 knows the situation of his own family. He is not capable of solving this mess right now, so he is too lazy to think about it. After all, apart from making himself anxious and feeling very bad, it will not make the family's situation worse. There is no improvement.

"By the way, Lengshen, there is something I almost forgot to tell you."
