Chapter 0570 – Runic Paper
”Granny, what else do you know about all sorts of things? Has anyone succeeded before? Who told the family about this method?” Chen Ge wanted to be sure of what he had in mind, first he had to have a general understanding of the sorts before he could do so.
”Why are you asking this? Knowing too much won’t do you any good, there are some things that you’ll be retributed for as soon as you touch them.” The old lady looked like I’m doing this for your own good as she turned around and entered the room next to her, rummaging through it to find two yellowed talisman papers.
”Here you go, keep them with you, they can ward off disasters when it matters.”
The old man’s kindness was not rejected by Chen Ge, who smoothly took the talisman paper.
There were strange symbols drawn on it, and it didn’t seem to be the vermillion sand used, just ordinary red dye.
”Granny, are you sure this will work?” The ghosts and monsters in Chen Ge’s own body were not only not afraid of this talisman paper, they were even a bit curious and wanted to run out specifically to see it.
”I don’t know if it’s useful or not, anyway, since I put the talisman paper all over the house, that ghost monster outside has never come near my room again.”
”She even appeared in your room before?” Chen Ge had doubts in his heart, some ghosts and monsters were extremely aggressive and incommunicative, they would kill all living things in their way, regardless of whether the other person was innocent or not.
”You brats say all the unlucky things, if she had entered my house, do you think my old bones would still be alive?” The old lady was very dissatisfied and pooh-poohed twice behind the door of her room, and Chen Ge didn’t know the significance of her doing so, “The first time I saw the female ghost, she stood in my doorway with her head down, and it wasn’t until later on when I put talismans all over my own house that she started going to the right door.”
Chen Ge understood in his heart that this might not be the efficacy of the talisman paper, the female ghost originally went to the little girl and stayed at the old lady’s door probably for another reason.
Chen Ge couldn’t say this explicitly, although the old lady looked warm-hearted and kind, Chen Ge always felt that she had something to do with the incident that happened at the little girl’s house as well.
”Granny, I’m not going to beat around the bush with you, that little girl’s situation isn’t too good, that ghost you mentioned seems to be haunting her, if we don’t care, that child’s life may be in danger.”
Being told this by Chen Ge, the granny hesitated for a moment.
”Regardless of what wrongdoings their family has done, the child is innocent, she shouldn’t be victimized, furthermore, this matter hasn’t reached the point of no return.”
”You haven’t seen it, that’s why you’re saying that, there really is a ghost in this world, it appears every night, if you’ve seen it afterward you won’t say that anymore. This is their family’s retribution, if you interfere, you yourself will be targeted by a ghost.” The old lady wanted to dissuade Chen Ge, but Chen Ge’s attitude was very firm.
”Since I was allowed to encounter it, I have to manage it.”
”Why are you so stubborn, this child?” The granny spoke after ten seconds or so, “Forget it, if you have to go and die, I won’t stop you, I just hope you’ll have better luck.”
The old lady’s tone changed, “This is something I didn’t want to bring up again, the one who suggested all sorts of things to their family in the beginning was my husband, that old man wasn’t a bad person by nature, he was just talking off the cuff, who would have thought that that family would actually go through with it, the old man fell ill and passed away after Wenwen’s birth, and he blamed himself and regretted it very much when he left.”
”It was your husband who helped Shizuku’s family with all that?”
”Don’t you talk nonsense! My old man only heard about it, and he meant well.” The old lady once again went into the inner room, from the drawer to find a few pages of yellow paper, looking like a prescription: “This is the prescription for the species, I can not understand, it is said to be the opposite door of their family elders do not know where to find, by my old man found and hid it. My old man tried to stop them later, but they were already crazy by then.”
”Their family’s genetic disease is passed on to males but not females, in order to continue the lineage and change their own bloodline, so their family used their first daughter as the ‘seed’, that child I’ve still seen, very healthy and cute.”
”Planting the seed of the specific over the name only the old man and the opposite door child’s grandparents know, but they few have been successively sick and died, so exactly what they did to the first child now no one knows.”
The wrinkles on the old lady’s face seemed to be squeezed together like bean skins, she tried hard to recall half a day, “I can tell you only a few things, before the first child’s accident, they ran all over the eastern suburbs, seemingly looking for a suitable place, and in the end, they chose Donggang Reservoir. Anything further than that, I don’t know.”
”Looks like I’ll have to make a trip to Donggang Reservoir myself.” Chen Ge took a few pages of yellow paper and roughly scanned them, he couldn’t understand the words written on them either, they felt like Chinese characters, but he just didn’t know what each word represented.
”Granny, these pages, can I take them away? I want to find a specialized person to study them and see what is actually written on them.”
”No, absolutely not, these few pieces of paper can’t be circulated anymore, if it wasn’t for the fact that the old man had an explanation before he left, I would have been ready to burn it directly.”
”Then do you know where they got these pieces of paper from?” Chen Ge casually asked, not expecting an unexpected gain.
”Liwan Town in the eastern suburb, it’s said that the grandparents of the kid across the street begged for them in a building called the Underworld Building.”
”Underworld building?!” This word Chen Ge had heard before when he took the last train on route 104, and only by taking that last train could he have the opportunity to enter the middle of the Underworld Building in Liwan Town: “Could it be that all sorts of things are also related to the mastermind behind the eastern suburb? Is this a casual move, or is there some other arrangement?”
Chen Ge was skeptical that the mastermind behind the plot to murder so many children in the eastern suburbs was for the sake of all sorts of things.
”All sorts of things only need one child, but the number of children missing in the eastern suburbs is huge ……” The words “Plutonic Fetus” flashed through Chen Ge’s mind, and he was instantly nonplussed.
Originally, he thought that this was a very simple two-star trial mission, but he didn’t expect that it would be connected to the four-star trial mission Underworld Fetus.
”Granny, can you fetch me a few more talismans? I’m going to go to Donggang Reservoir tonight and take a look on the ground, so I might be able to make a significant discovery.”
”Go to Donggang Reservoir? It’s almost dark, what are you going to that place for?” The old lady really felt that Chen Ge was the kind of weirdo who knew there was a tiger on the mountain: “Many people have died in the reservoir, that place is not clean, you have to think clearly.”
”I’m scared too, but more than being scared, I want to figure this out.” Chen Ge took out the talisman paper given by the old lady, “Granny, give me a few more talismans, what if there aren’t enough at the critical time?”
”Don’t push yourself if you’re so timid.” After the old lady finished speaking, she still walked into the house and rummaged for talisman paper, taking advantage of this time when she left, Chen Ge took out his cell phone and photographed all the words on those pieces of yellow paper.
