Yin Yang Lantern Man

Chapter 135 Gods and Ghosts
After returning home, Chen Ning'an found some bamboo sticks and added some paper to fold it into a paper figure the size of a palm.

He glued the words onto the paper figure, then drew a puppet talisman and controlled it with his soul.

His soul entered into the paper figure, which actually had no power, but was still suitable for delivering objects.

He threw the paper man out of the window and then walked towards the hospital with narrowed eyes.

No one noticed this little paper man. It walked straight to the door of Chen Mengran's ward. It was already late at night, and it began to knock regularly.

“Da, da, da~”

The sound was not loud, but it seemed particularly eerie in the silent corridor.

The nurse fell asleep, but Chen Mengran was not asleep. She was still looking at the notes on her mobile phone. For some reason, she felt creepy when she heard it on the hospital bed with the lights turned off.

At this moment, a "da da" sound suddenly rang out at the door, scaring her so much that her whole body went numb and she almost couldn't hold the phone.

What is it?
She couldn't help but think of the contents of her notes: [Do not make any noise during the ugly hours in the hospital.]

Zi hour is dark and Chou hour is evil, which means the hospital from 1:00 to 3:00 is very spooky and there will be "weird" things. You need to be extra careful and it's best to pretend to be asleep and know nothing.

She quickly covered herself with the quilt and pretended to be asleep, but the sound was still there.

Chen Mengran was scared, so she had to press the call bell at the nurse station. When the bell rang, the whole corridor was filled with an eerie echo, which made it even more terrifying.

Finally, after a while, the sound was stopped, and then the footsteps of a nurse were heard, gradually walking towards her door.

Chen Mengran saw a shadow on the window glass, but why didn't the other party come in? What was he hesitating about?
The "da da da" sound suddenly disappeared.

Suddenly the shadow on the window disappeared, and the girl almost screamed. Could it really be a ghost?
But soon the door opened, and it was not a ghost, but a nurse walked in with a paper man in her hand.

It turned out that she disappeared just now because she went to pick up a doll.

"Strange, why is there this thing at the door?"

The nurse walked to Chen Mengran's bed and muttered sleepily, "Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"No...no, I just heard a 'da da' sound at the door and I was a little scared."

She told the truth, but the nurse smiled, a little helpless.

Was this the reason she was called here?
That's what work is like. You'll meet a lot of weird people, but she still tried to ease the atmosphere and said:
"Don't worry, the hospital is very safe. There are security patrols every once in a while, and our nurses are online all day long."

She half-jokingly said: "Of course, it could also be a ghost~"

These words gave Chen Mengran a sudden shock.

"Sister, are you reading that novel too?"

"Of course, who wouldn't watch it if it's so popular? It's a pity that it's been banned."

The nurse was about to leave: "It's getting late, go to bed. If you're scared, you can turn on the light. There's no one else in your ward anyway."

"Ah."

Chen Mengran nodded and watched the nurse leave.

Not long after the nurse left, she suddenly heard the "da" sound again.

The sound came from the foot of her bed and had already entered the room!

"what!"

She was so frightened that she screamed and huddled up on the bed.

The notebook says, [Don’t bow your head when you hear the sound under the bed]

She didn't dare to lower her head at all, but the voice was getting louder and louder.

It seemed... as if it was climbing up the bed legs.

"Da~da~da~"

She huddled in bed, staring in the direction of the sound.

Finally, a palm-sized paper man climbed up. Chen Mengran opened her eyes wide and opened her mouth, but could not make a sound.

There were strange red patterns painted on the paper man, which formed a sharp contrast with the white paper man, making it even more mysterious.

Wasn't it taken away by the nurse? How come it's back again!

But the paper man did not continue to move forward. Instead, he suddenly fell on the bed as if he had lost his strength.

It took Chen Mengran a long time to finally adapt. She turned on the light, looked at the paper man, and poked it with the takeaway chopsticks next to her.

There was no movement, which reminded her of the fact that the content in the novel was just as absurd, unreal, and irrational as it was now.

"It would be nice if my brother was here at this time."

The curiosity in her heart began to suppress her fear, and she actually held the paper man in her palm.

This also allowed her to see the note on the paper man.

Any words?

She opened it carefully and saw this sentence on it.

[Your brother's disappearance is related to gods and ghosts, find him. ]

It was just a short sentence, and the handwriting was exactly the same as the one in the notebook.

It's him?

Chen Mengran confirmed it almost immediately, and at the same time, she became increasingly nervous.

She quickly sent a message to her best friend on her cell phone. She really didn't know what to do about this matter.

After briefly explaining the situation, the other end became shocked.

"What! Such a miraculous and horrible thing happened to you?"

[Magic] A new word in Su Mei's novel, but it has been widely welcomed!
"Yeah, now what should I do?"

She was totally at a loss and could only rely on her best friend.

When you encounter something like this, why don’t you turn to your parents or your best friend?

Chen Ning'an was a little confused, but her best friend thought it was normal and began to analyze it seriously.

"Protect your notes! This must be related to your brother. This is the hope of finding your brother!"

"Don't trust others. Send the paper to me. I have connections and may be able to sell it for a good price."

"Huh? Does this have anything to do with saving my brother?"

Chen Mengran was a little confused, but her best friend soon figured everything out.

"Can you find a way by yourself? If we leak the notes, sooner or later someone will find the clues, and then your brother will be saved."

"Besides, the price of this book must be quite high now. We will split the money 50-50 when the time comes."

"Good girlfriends split the profits 50-50!" Chen Mengran's confidence increased greatly. The development of the situation was smoother than Chen Ning'an had imagined.

He took one more look and returned to his body.

Then just wait quietly.

He didn't know that after he left, Chen Mengran's face changed. Fear and paleness appeared on her face, and her whole body was shaking.

She threw the paper man into the corner, then hid under the quilt and called Fang Long tremblingly.

Just now, that cold feeling had been around her, and she could sense that there were other people in the room.

She was pretending to behave that way just to paralyze the other party.

When the coldness disappeared, it seemed that her bet was right. The other party wanted her to spread these things.

The call was quickly connected, and Chen Mengran broke down and cried: "Uncle Fang, help me..."

Fang Long arrived very quickly. For the case, he stayed in a nearby hotel, but the hotel was too expensive and his rent was not reimbursed.

After entering the ward, I saw Chen Mengran curled up in the quilt and shivering.

"Xiao Chen, are you okay?"

Fang Long's voice gradually quieted down Chen Mengran.

She stared at Uncle Fang with empty eyes and asked, "Uncle Fang, do you believe in ghosts? I have encountered one."

The experience just now and the paper man have become obvious evidence, but Fang Long still can't believe it.

"This……"

"If this is really the case, it is obviously not something we can solve."

He took Chen Mengran to the Ri'an Bureau to take a statement. Strangely enough, the Ri'an Bureau made him feel very uncomfortable at night.

But after the transcripts and materials were handed in, someone soon came and took the paper man away.

It was just that the man had a scar on his face and his temperament was very cold, which made Fang Long stare at him for a long time.

"Brother Fang, what are you looking at?" Li Fengde asked. He had just finished overtime work.

"No, I saw a familiar man, but he has been executed. I guess he just looks like him."

Fang Long didn't think much about it and said to the girl, "I'll take you home, and we'll go through the discharge procedures tomorrow."

"Ok."

Chen Mengran hugged her husband tightly, and she did not reveal the matter of the notes to anyone.

Because she felt that the vague chill was still around her.

Indeed, Chen Ning'an came back again. He had already left, but after seeing Fang Long downstairs, he followed him back.

This Chen Mengran is quite something. Although she is young, she is very smart. She even discovered him just because of a novel.

Just now he took a look at Chen Mengran's information. Her date of birth was all Yin, no wonder her spiritual perception was so sharp.

What a terrible fog.

He couldn't help but sigh again, this was equivalent to creating something again, it was something of some level that could directly change reality.

Sun Buyu's words seemed to ring in his ears again. But this was too real.

Chen Mengran said nothing and didn't dare to fall asleep in the room. She felt the coldness was still there, following her back home.

The invisible ghost was right next to her, and this terrifying experience was enough to make a person collapse.

But she thought of her brother, and her missing brother gave her great courage.

Girl, save your brother!
She mustered up her courage and whispered to the cold place: “Do you know where my brother is?”

No response, as expected.

She added:
"Do you want me to help you spread that content? Like the missing Su Mei?"

Still no answer, Chen Mengran gritted her teeth and said, "I promise to help you spread the word, and you return my brother to me, how about that? Otherwise, you can give me some clues, and if you agree, I will show some appreciation."

The coldness suddenly disappeared.

Chen Ning'an left, he felt that this move should be a safe one.

Fang Long reported his information, and Ye An would come to see him soon. He hoped that they would have a more "appropriate" meeting then.

His soul returned to his body and he felt tired. It seemed that he couldn't leave his body for too long.

It felt very uncomfortable to put on the shackles again. My body was cold and painful, and my eyes kept sending mixed messages.

The cold and stiffness, coupled with the pain, tortured him all the time.

"It's time to take medicine."

He took out a special medicine, and this soft thing was actually made of placenta.

How to make it?
Chen Ning'an didn't quite understand. Maybe next time he could buy some fresh ones and try eating them to see if they had any effect.

Of course, he felt that it would probably be ineffective, otherwise there wouldn't be so many people holding lanterns.

The fog seemed to stabilize everything.

Ye An came faster than he thought.

Someone knocked on the door again, and coincidentally, this person looked a little suspicious to Chen Ning'an.

Hu Pingan?
No, Hu Ping'an is dead. This person should be his younger brother Hu Pingfu.

"Hello, my name is Wang Pingfu."

He also changed his name, but he was still frightened when he saw Chen Ning'an.

The man was shrouded in shadow and could not see anything clearly.

"You may not know this, but we are actually Ye An."

"Good morning, you supervise the living, and we supervise the dead. Do you have time to talk to us?"

"What is the forum address of Lantern Man?"

Chen Ningan stared into his eyes and asked, "I know what you are, no need to introduce you."

"That's right, you must have held up the lamp. I sense a very strong scent."

Hu Pingfu was a little confused: "Ri'an said that you might be from Mucheng, so is it because of this forum that doesn't know about our Zhongcheng Lantern Man?"

"Yes."

Chen Ning'an nodded and quickly got the URL of the Lantern Man Forum.

"Thank you."

He smiled at Hu Pingfu, and suddenly fell down.

Hu Pingfu was startled and thought it was some new type of attack method, but he soon discovered that the person in front of him was not a real person.

Instead, it was a paper figure with only bamboo and a cell phone that was talking on the phone.

What kind of ability is this? How can it be so powerful in the real world?

Hu Pingfu's heart tightened. This was not good. The level... was too high. It was beyond his ability to handle.

He could only report this place, and Chen Ningan disappeared as if he had evaporated from the face of the earth.

At the same time, supernatural incidents did not decrease, but became more and more serious.

The same words began to appear in various places, and Zhongcheng's management was simply unable to contain them.

There are even comments like this on the Internet: [There is a small group of people who know the real content, and that is the truth of the world! ]

"How will Ye An respond to this?" Chen Ning'an hid in the shadows. He completely moved from the front stage to behind the scenes. He came out today to witness his "good helper".

He was not the one who created that supernatural case, and he himself didn't know who was fanning the flames.

It was already night, but not very late, just past evening.

The street lights could not illuminate the dark shadows, and the food stalls were bustling with people.

The barbecue owner skillfully picked up the skewers of meat and placed them on the charcoal fire. Oil sizzled and the smoke made the owner's face unclear.

"drink!"

A group of people at the table were drinking heavily. The grease and spots on their faces were particularly noticeable. After drinking cup after cup of beer, some people soon couldn't bear it anymore.

"You guys drink first."

A fat man with a big belly loosened his trouser belt and walked into the alley next to him. The alley was full of vomit and excrement and the smell was terrible.

Because the distance was close, no one noticed it, and even if someone saw it, they couldn't see the other person's face clearly.

He staggered and saw a shadow in front of him, squatting and didn't know what it was doing.

"Hey, Xiao Pa Cai, you can't do it anymore."

The middle-aged man laughed and unbuckled his belt beside him, preparing to release himself.

This guy feels comfortable when he is drunk. After unbuckling his belt, he feels as if everything below his brain has disappeared.

"Huh? Why are your hands and feet not working as you want them to?"

He subconsciously tried to lower his head but found that his neck was out of control.

Then he saw an extremely horrifying scene. In front of him, there was a headless figure standing motionless, groping for defecation with his hands.

That figure looks so familiar, as if I have seen it somewhere before. Wait, isn’t that my own body?
His head was taken off?

The middle-aged man wanted to scream, only to find that no air came out of his lungs and his head was empty.

Who left him hanging?

His vision suddenly spun, and then his mind went blank.

On the wall behind him, there was a big word "ghost", and he was basically floating in the air with his head on his head, there was no one there!

"Ah! Help!"

He found that he could suddenly move and shout again, and ran towards his friend like crazy.

But to the people at the food stall, a head suddenly rushed out from the darkness and then fell heavily on a table of barbecue, with beer peanuts falling all over the floor.

"what!"

Screaming and wailing, all his friends were so frightened that their legs went weak, and some even vomited.

"Help me, help me!"

The head was still speaking, but soon his words began to become unclear and his voice gradually changed.

"When I am not myself, I am always myself. Am I a human or a ghost? Is there a God?"

This sentence reached everyone's ears.

No one noticed that the dish in front of a person in the corner of the food stall had gone cold and no one had touched it.

Chen Ning'an did not see the person who made the move. He only saw a streak of black air mixed with dark green, connecting to a distant direction.

It is obviously impossible to keep tracking with the Qi-Watching Technique turned on all the time. This should be a curse.

There was also a strong curse on the head, and it was even transmitted to Chen Ning'an through his line of sight.

The Vajra Talisman heated up slightly to block this level of erosion. He took a deep breath. Judging from the color, the other party was at least at the level of a guide.

Is there anyone to guide the night of Zhongcheng? He doesn't know, but there are human realms. This may not be the human realm.

Everything is reset, maybe His Holiness Anjiang has been resurrected?
The fog was too thick, this possibility was unlikely, maybe it was someone else.

The guide who had been lurking before came out, just because of those two words?
He felt that this was not a coincidence, but the information of these two words triggered something. Perhaps there were other reasons why the Qin Emperor burned books, buried scholars and killed alchemists.

He stood up, put the coins on the table, and then entered the alley.

The middle-aged man's body was still standing and defecating, and the gurgling sound was extremely clear in the darkness.

There were more smells mixed in with the excrement and vomit. Vehicles passed by on the street, and the brief light showed the continuous dripping of blood red.

"How could it be wasted from this place?"

Chen Ningan turned his head and saw the big ghost words on the wall that looked like they wanted to eat people!

This word was filled with a trembling aura. When Chen Ning'an heard the voice of Ri An, he quickly left and disappeared from here.

Shi Qinghai led his team and hurried over. When he saw the big words on the wall, his eyelids twitched!
The head on the table had been protected, lifeless, but the body was still standing, continuing to bleed.

And that word seemed to be mocking him, speaking of his incompetence, his arrogance, and the weakness of this world.

"You are so arrogant!"

Shi Qinghai clenched his fists: "Everyone, seal off the scene and look for clues. Call a forensic doctor to autopsy the body and analyze the time!"

They moved quickly, but were destined to not find the source.
