Chapter 14 File 14: Soul Locking Curse ([-])
I stopped filming and replayed the video I recorded just now. The video is very short, less than 1 minute. Obviously Mrs. Tan started filming after she rushed to the balcony.

The camera was shaking around, "Come on! I'm not afraid of you!" Then the camera suddenly rolled, and it was obvious that the phone had left Mrs. Tan's hand at this time.But the tumbling camera suddenly returned to Mrs. Tan's body with her back facing the fence, and then her body seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, and she suddenly jumped into the air and rolled backwards...

This process only took a short second, but it was enough for me to see clearly that she didn't fall by herself!Who would that be?I looked around in a daze, the moonlight shone brightly on the balcony, and besides Tang Ke and me, there was no third figure in sight.

At this time, Tang Ke had already reported to the police through the intercom. He looked at me and said, "You saw it too?" I nodded, thinking that my face must be equally ugly now.

We almost used "escape" to run back to the ground, and we didn't know what we were afraid of. Maybe it was because we didn't know that we felt particularly terrified.

The moment I ran out of the gate of the factory, I almost collapsed on the ground. I swore that no matter how much money someone gave me, I would never set foot in this damn factory again.

Tang Ke tested Mrs. Tan's pulse on the side of the neck with his fingers, then shook his head in despair.I saw that Mrs. Tan's eyes were open, and there seemed to be a smile on her face.Although she died, she succeeded!
Ten minutes later, the police brigade arrived, and when I heard the siren that broke the silence, my suspended heart finally touched the ground.A large number of people is courage. Usually, letting a person walk through the cemetery alone may feel frightening, but when it comes to Tomb-sweeping Day, the cemetery is crowded with people, and no one will take fear seriously.

But when I actually saw those police officers, my slightly relaxed mood immediately became heavy again—because they all wore big masks without exception.I immediately thought of the terrible legend - anyone who enters the Xiangyang Factory will be cursed!But Tang Ke didn't wear it. In his desperation just now, he actually forgot this top priority!

"Tang Ke!" I reached out and pointed to his face, reminding him to wear a mask.Tang Ke smiled wryly and shook his head, then pointed to my face: "Aren't you not wearing it too? If you really need to wear a mask, it's too late to wear it now."

After the other policemen finished recording my statement, the mobile phone was taken away as important evidence.Tang Ke was about to take someone to the balcony to inspect the scene at this time, when he was about to enter the door, he suddenly turned around and said to me: "Jian Zhen, go and see Xue Rou, I'm worried about her staying there alone."

"Well," I nodded, it's been a long time since we've been in.Now that there are police cars coming in, Xue Rou will definitely be worried if she stays there alone, so let's go out and tell her what happened.

The gate of the factory had already been opened by the police later, so I went out directly from the gate and came to Tang Ke's police car.Through the glass window, I didn't see Xue Rou, my heart thumped, and I hurriedly looked closer, thinking that she might have waited too long, and might have fallen asleep lying on the chair.

But I didn’t see anything when I looked closely. I really panicked now, and quickly opened the car door and climbed up. There is only so much space in the car, so I can see it in just a few glances. How can there be Xue Rou?

I jumped out of the car in a panic, and saw that the surrounding fields were all in darkness. Where did Xue Rou go?I climbed onto the roof of the car in two steps, and shouted loudly: "Xue Rou... Xue Rou..." The voice kept echoing in the wilderness, but no one answered.

I knew something must have happened this time, so I rushed back to the factory in a panic, and shouted loudly: "Tang Ke! Tang Ke!"

Tang Ke poked out half of his head on the roof and asked me, "What's the matter?"

"Xue Rou is gone!" Before I finished speaking, Tang Ke's body shook and he almost fell off the stairs.

The policemen who were investigating the scene immediately got busy again and devoted themselves to the investigation of this second sudden case.The police dog urgently dispatched by the police station played a role. After it recognized Xue Rou's smell in the carriage, it barked twice, then turned around and ran towards the Xiangyang factory.

We trotted along with it and came to the bottom of the blast furnace. The police dog howled at the door of the blast furnace, and kept jumping up and down, seeming to be very afraid.

Did Xue Rou run into the blast furnace?But it's impossible, no matter how courageous Xue Rou is, she has no reason to go into that dark blast furnace by herself.The policemen all drew their pistols, and the light of the snow-white flashlights was projected on the furnace door together, illuminating the inside as bright as day.

I saw a red leather boot stuck in the black ashes inside, which was exactly what Xue Rou was wearing.Under the illumination of the light, the police dog seemed to be more courageous, rushed in with a "hoo", and kept digging in the ashes with its paws.

Could it be that Xue Rou was buried in the ashes?Tang Ke and I rushed in almost at the same time, digging up the ashes with our hands.The ashes were mixed with slag, and had hard and sharp edges. Our hands were already dripping with blood after digging for a long time.But none of us stopped because sometimes a second can be the difference between life and death.

I've watched a person die helplessly, and I can't do anything about it. I absolutely can't let something happen to Xue Rou.Other police officers also joined the excavation ranks. Because they were worried that they were burying living people, no one dared to use tools such as shovels and could only work with bare hands.

The ashes were nearly a foot thick, but my heart slowly relaxed, because Xue Rou disappeared only for a short time.Even if someone wanted to kill her, it would be too late to dig such a deep pit to bury her, but why would the police dogs automatically dig the ashes?
Just as I was thinking about it, my fingers touched something rough and hard. I carefully pushed away the floating soil on the top of the thing, and the thing below almost scared me so much that I fell on my back—because it was a hideous and terrifying thing. Mummy face!

"Jane Zhen, don't move!" Tang Ke pulled me. As a policeman, he was already sensitively aware that this might be the third "emergency" case.

After detailed cleaning, it was confirmed that there was no Xue Rou in the blast furnace, and the mummy was also excavated, and the two corpses were taken back to the police station together with me.This case involved two wealthy families and three lives. The entire police station was as busy as an ant that had been stabbed in its nest.Roaring police cars were sent out one after another, and Xue Rou's parents, Tan Zhenye's lawyer, and other relevant people all followed.

The big and small officials in the police station were all busy receiving these "visitors", and I was left alone in the police room and ignored.I really wanted to join those search teams, but was rejected by the police force, which is what they should do, and it has nothing to do with me, an ordinary citizen.And the police in the whole city are dispatched. If they can't find it, what else can I do alone? It's better to stay in the police station and wait for the first news.

I waited until the sun rose at night, and when I was so agitated that I was about to explode, the police officer on duty asked me to answer the phone, saying that Tang Ke had called back.

When I answered the phone, my eyes suddenly went dark, and my body shook a few times involuntarily before I could stand still.why?A chill passed through my heart.

"Jane Zhen!" Tang Ke called out on the phone.

"How?" I asked anxiously.

"There has been a major breakthrough," Tang Ke's hoarse voice couldn't hide his excitement, "We found traces of another car at the Xiangyang factory, which means that Xue Rou must have been kidnapped. Colleagues from the forensics department just checked It turns out that the tires with that pattern are dedicated to a limited-edition foreign sports car, and only five of this sports car have been sold in China, but there is only one in this city—the buyer is Tan Zhenye!"

"It's him?" The result was too unexpected, "Why did Tan Zhenye kidnap Xue Rou?"

"We have to ask him now. We are rushing to the headquarters of the Tan Group to 'visit' him. If Xue Rou is found, I will notify you as soon as possible." Tang Ke hung up the phone after finishing speaking.

This was originally excellent news, but I always felt that there was something wrong in my heart. The feeling when I answered the phone just now seemed to have been experienced somewhere.I suddenly understood, this is the feeling of death!Because the feeling on the phone was not as strong as it was in person, I almost ignored it.

Is it a curse?I immediately thought of the curse of the Xiangyang factory. Tang Ke didn't wear a mask when he entered the Xiangyang factory just now, so he was cursed by the devil.

I hurriedly called back to Tang Ke: "Tang Ke, listen to me, don't go!"

"What?" Tang Ke obviously couldn't understand what I meant.

"Tang Ke, don't go to Tan Zhenye's place!" I said loudly, "Believe me, I feel it, if you go, you will die!"

Tang Ke was silent on the phone, of course he knew that I had this mysterious intuition.After a while, he spoke, his voice was very soft, but there was a kind of determination after careful consideration: "Jane Zhen, I must go! If it were you, would you not go?"

After hanging up the phone, I called again, but couldn't get through. "Idiot!" I was so angry that I threw the phone on the ground. Before the police officer on duty could reprimand me, I rushed out of the police station like a gust of wind.

I rushed to the road, and almost hijacked a taxi: "Go to Tan's Jitu headquarters!" I can't let Tang Ke die!I've seen an innocent man lose his life before my eyes, and I can no longer watch death take my friend!

As soon as I got to Tan's headquarters building, I jumped out of the car and rushed inside, "Hey, haven't you paid yet?" The driver yelled from behind. "Give it to me next time!" I left a sentence and rushed into the elevator.

I pressed the button to the top floor, "Wait a minute!" There were others rushing to squeeze into the elevator. "Come in if you're not afraid of death!" I yelled, and those people immediately shrank back in fright when they saw my bloodshot eyes and murderous look.Because I don't have a second to spend in the process of the elevator going up and down, I can only use a little violence when necessary.

The elevator finally arrived at the top floor smoothly. Just as the elevator door opened, I heard a "bang" gunshot, "Ah..." Immediately there were screams from the whole floor.I rushed out of the elevator and saw several police officers dragging a bloody man out of the office.

"Police 31749 called the headquarters. We were shot at the headquarters building of the Tan Group. A colleague was shot. Please send an ambulance immediately..." A police officer was calling urgently, but I could no longer hear it.

In my eyes, the whole world is gradually disappearing, leaving only Tang Ke covered in blood.I'm late, I still can't save him after all!I seem to see the god of death grinning at me in the void, predicting the death of my friend, but I can't change the result at all, I'm so fucking useless!

Sixteen, who is the devil

After sending Tang Ke to the emergency room of the hospital, I walked on the street like sleepwalking.I don't know what to do, or what else to do.Whatever I do seems ridiculously futile in the face of fate.

No one would have thought that Tan Zhenye would suddenly shoot before the questioning.They came to Tan Zhenye only to "assist in the investigation". Although the tire marks were the same as his sports car, it was not enough to prove that he kidnapped Xue Rou. He had a hundred lawyers to get rid of this suspicion.And even if he is really charged with kidnapping, he is not guilty of death, but shooting and killing the police is tantamount to seeking his own death!
Therefore, no one would have expected that he would shoot Tang Ke, and Tan Zhenye took advantage of the confusion to escape from the secret passage.

Tang Ke might die, and Xue Rou's whereabouts are still unknown. Facing all this, I have nothing to do.Is there really no way to stop this curse?I jumped into the fountain in the park and let the cold fountain hit my whole body.

At the moment when the cold water poured over my mind, I suddenly thought of a person!How could I have forgotten him?Although he refuses to reveal the secret to me, as long as he knows, even at the cost of his life, I want him to tell me the secret!

I ran all the way back to the familiar campus of S University, where the professors' villas are located by the quiet lakeside.When Professor Gu opened the door, he saw my wet and embarrassed appearance. Although he was slightly taken aback, he didn't take it for granted. He knew that I was such a weird person.

"I want to know the secret of the Xiangyangchang curse!" I panted and said to Professor Gu, who nodded in understanding: "Come in and talk about it!"

He first gave me a towel to dry off the water on my body, and then asked, "Have you been to Xiangyang Factory?"

I nodded, and briefly described what had happened during this period of time.

Professor Gu sighed and said, "I warned you, but it's pretty good if you support me and come to find me, it proves that I didn't misread you!"

"Although I am still alive, I still have a friend who is being rescued in the hospital, and the other is missing. I must rescue them! So no matter what, I must know the secret of the Xiangyangchang curse!" I begged .

"Now that you have come this far, this secret can be revealed to you now." Professor Gu returned to the study and took out a black file folder.When I opened the folder, the first thing I saw was an ancient topographic map.

"This is the geographical map of the location of Xiangyang Factory," Professor Gu explained. "You can see that this place is surrounded by mountains on three sides, the terrain is low and concave, and a road passes by overhead. According to the ancient Fengshui theory, it is an iron flail hanging on the neck, A soul-locking land with a knife in the face.

"If people live in such a geographical environment, it is easy to breed malignant diseases such as cancer, and their spirits are also easily disturbed, leading to psychological depression and mental disorders. Ancient people attached great importance to Feng Shui, so they have strange and evil Feng Shui in this place. With clever use, in the past hundreds of years, this place has been the execution ground for the government to execute felons.

"They believe that the energy field formed by the closed geographical pattern here can trap the souls of condemned prisoners forever, so that there is no need to worry about evil spirits seeking revenge from the executioner. But those souls that can never be reborn will turn into evil spirits, Curse everyone who enters Soul Locker."

"So there really is a curse!" I gasped.

"Curse, it sounds very mysterious, but it can be explained by science." Professor Gu said with a slight smile, "In fact, it is the evolution of psychological strengthening through words and special rituals, so as to influence or control the mind of the cursed." A method. In a way, it is very similar to hypnotism."

"I have never been to Xiangyang Factory, so I don't know if there are really evil spirits there. But since this place has been considered an ominous place for hundreds of years, during these hundreds of years, people have continued to accumulate and form The psychological suggestion has reached an unusually strong level.

"Everyone who has heard the legend of Xiangyang Factory, once he enters that place, his subconscious mind will naturally be affected by this kind of psychological suggestion, which will lead to huge changes in his physiology and psychology. In real life, there are There are many cases of death due to strong psychological suggestion.

"For example, the famous bloodless killing experiment. The scientist blindfolded a murderer who was about to be executed, then scratched his wrist with an ice cube, and told him that he had cut his veins with a knife. Then he kept dripping water on the copper plate, telling him that what is flowing now is his blood, and when the blood runs out, he will die. As a result, when the sound of water dripping stopped, the prisoner also died. In fact, he did not bleed a drop of blood , what killed him was his own mortal thoughts."

"You mean, the so-called grievance is just our own intentional suicide?" I said in amazement, this conclusion is too simple to accept.
