Chapter 23: What a kind heart!
Chapter 23: What a kind heart!
Su Qin sat on the ground for a while until his head started to ache more and more, and he felt a cold, stinging sensation in the palm of his right hand before he came to his senses.
I almost forgot, I also have a pair of ghostly stone eyes in my hand, and I need to get rid of those things immediately.
Just as Su Qin was desperately trying to find a golden woven bag to put the eyes in, he felt the cold, stinging sensation in his palms intensify. He felt the stone eyes wriggling in his palms, trying to burrow into his body, and he immediately panicked.
This is part of a vengeful ghost. Once it enters his body, the consequences will be unimaginable. There is another ghost inside his body. Once another supernatural entity enters, his body will become a battlefield, and his body will be severely corroded. He may die immediately from the resurrection of the vengeful ghost.
He didn't care about anything else. He loosened his grip, shook his hands forcefully, and threw the strange stone eyes away.
However, this seemed to be of little use. He did manage to throw away the stone eyeballs, but what he wanted to get rid of stuck to his hand and had now pierced through his palm and entered his body.
His entire hand became numb and immobile. Then something seemed to wriggle rapidly inside his arm, quickly climbing upwards toward his head. His entire arm, along with his shoulder, became paralyzed.
He tried to use the supernatural powers within him to pry those eerie eyes out of his body, but it was too late; the eyes had already burrowed into his head.
He was completely unable to move and could only lie on the ground resigned to his fate. Gradually, he felt a dizzying sensation, and then he lost consciousness and lay motionless on the ground.
After an unknown amount of time, the roar of car engines gradually came from outside the village, and the sound became more and more frequent and closer.
Gradually, military trucks began to appear on the village roads, searching house to house throughout the village.
About half an hour later, a vehicle entered the center of the village, came to the crossroads, and stopped next to the military truck whose front end was embedded in the wall.
A dozen or so young soldiers, armed with guns, jumped off the military truck and rushed toward nearby houses, searching them one by one. Only two soldiers remained to search the wrecked truck.
As the two soldiers approached the carriage, they heard muffled thuds coming from inside, along with the thuds of the carriage being hit.
Immediately, the two soldiers also became alert, cocked their guns, and prepared to check what was inside the carriage.
Looking into the carriage, one could see a golden woven bag inside. The contents of the bag were twisting and turning, as if trying to get out, and a whirring, straining sound could be heard coming from inside.
Seemingly having heard the commotion outside, the contents of the sack began to wriggle more violently. Just as the two soldiers were holding their guns in surprise and disbelief, a voice came from inside the sack.
"Is anyone there? Is someone outside? I'm Wei Jing! Let me out!"
The two soldiers were slightly taken aback when they heard the voices coming from inside the woven bag.
Wei Jing? Platoon Leader Wei? How did he end up in the woven bag? What happened?
Without the slightest suspicion, the two soldiers immediately climbed onto the carriage, quickly untied the ropes binding the woven bags, and released the people inside.
As soon as the woven bag was untied, Wei Jing crawled out like an eel and lay on the ground, breathing heavily for oxygen.
"Phew! I was suffocating! Which bastard stuffed me in this sack and tied me so tight? I almost suffocated!"
As soon as Wei Jing came out, he started cursing, wishing he could give the bastard who stuffed him into the woven bag a good beating.
Actually, he should be grateful that Chen Hao had been careful enough to leave him an opening so he could barely breathe; otherwise, he would have suffocated to death long ago.
He had been awake for half an hour, but he couldn't get out. All his weapons had been taken away, not even a knife, as if they were afraid he would run out of the bag. The bag was extremely sturdy, and he couldn't break it no matter how hard he tried.
He had even tried using the strange iron chain inside his body before, but it was completely useless and caused him excruciating pain, so he decisively gave up and dared not use such a strange thing again.
At this moment, Wei Jing seemed to suddenly realize something, and suddenly jumped up from the ground, looking around warily.
"What's going on? Why is it so bright already? Where are the ghosts? And where are the other people? What on earth happened here?!"
Wei Jing remained tense, not daring to relax for a moment, fearing that something terrible might suddenly appear around him.
The two soldiers stood there, completely bewildered, wondering what had gotten into Wei Jing.
"We just arrived, and we don't know what exactly happened here."
Wei Jing ignored them. Judging from their expressions, he knew they were unaware of the situation. He looked around and finally fixed his gaze on a corner of the crossroads.
There was a person lying there, and a golden woven bag had fallen to the side.
This person looks familiar; Wei Jing has a vague recollection of him. He seems to be a teammate of the old squad leader, Zhang Zhen.
Wei Jing quickly ran over, and the two soldiers followed closely behind.
Wei Jing cautiously checked Su Qin's breathing and pulse with his hand.
"He's still breathing and has a pulse; he's not dead yet, he must just be unconscious. What on earth happened?"
Wei Jing only remembered that the rusty iron chain had pierced his body before he lost consciousness. He wanted to figure out what had happened after he fainted and what his current situation was.
Just then, a soldier noticed a golden woven bag next to him, bulging and seemingly containing something. He decided to open the bag to see what was inside, since the previous woven bag had contained Wei Jing.
"Stop! Don't touch that bag!"
Wei Jing hurriedly shouted loudly to stop the soldier from opening the woven bag. Upon hearing Wei Jing's reprimand, the soldier hesitated for a moment and then stopped trying to open the bag.
Seeing that the soldier did not open the bag any further, Wei Jing breathed a sigh of relief. He remembered that they had used this kind of golden woven bag to imprison evil spirits before, but he was not sure if it was effective or if the ghost had been imprisoned.
Now that the darkness in the entire village has disappeared and everything has returned to normal, it is very likely that someone has successfully imprisoned a vengeful ghost. These woven bags are used to imprison vengeful ghosts, and they are bulging inside, clearly containing something.
If they rashly open the gates and release the vengeful spirits they've painstakingly imprisoned, it will be a disaster. All their efforts will be in vain, all those who sacrificed themselves will have died in vain, and their entire group might even perish here.
"It's best not to touch that bag. There might be something terrifying inside. If it escapes, we'll all be doomed. The consequences are something neither you nor I can afford."
Find a way to wake him up. He's a special agent assigned to handle this incident; he must know what happened here.
As platoon leader, Wei Jing still wielded considerable authority. Since he had said so, the two soldiers naturally obeyed the order and moved away from the golden woven bag, afraid of accidentally causing trouble.
They were trying to wake Su Qin up, but before they could make any further moves, Su Qin's body on the ground began to twitch slightly, and then he suddenly sat up, startling the three of them into retreating.
The two soldiers immediately raised their guns and aimed them at Su Qin's forehead. They would open fire immediately if anything seemed amiss.
Su Qin rubbed his head, feeling a little dizzy. When he opened his eyes, he saw two soldiers pointing their guns at him, ready to fire at any moment.
"Why are you pointing guns at me? If you accidentally shoot and kill me, you're all finished."
Su Qin rubbed his dizzy head and stood up from the ground, not worried at all that the two soldiers would fire, because Wei Jing, who was standing next to him, would not let them fire.
When Wei Jing saw that Su Qin had regained consciousness and could speak, his vigilance lessened considerably.
"Put the gun away!"
Following Wei Jing's order, the two soldiers quickly put away their guns and stood by to observe.
"What on earth happened? Where's the ghost? Was it dealt with? Where did the others go? And who put me in the sack?"
Wei Jing was filled with questions, and perhaps this person in front of him could provide the answers.
Su Qin pointed to the gold woven bag on the ground.
"Hey! The ghost is in this body bag. If there are no other unexpected events, this paranormal incident can be considered resolved."
As for everyone else, they all died; only you and I survived.
You should also feel fortunate. If I hadn't had you put in a body bag, you wouldn't have been able to escape the vengeful ghost's attack and would have died long ago!
Dead? They're all dead? Wei Jing clenched his fists involuntarily, his knuckles cracking so hard they dug into his palms, but he seemed to feel no pain.
Only two people survived. None of his dozens of comrades who had been with him day and night survived. He himself only survived because he was stuffed into a body bag.
But despite his burning anger, he was powerless to do anything.
Instead of dwelling on what has already happened, you should worry more about yourself!
The chain that burrowed into your body is no ordinary thing; it is definitely an unknown vengeful ghost. Now you have become a ghost tamer, neither human nor ghost, just like me.
You don't have much time left. At most, you will die a painful death in six months, and you will not be able to escape the torment of the vengeful ghost until the very end.
"Hurry up and apply for a career change! While you're still alive, do as much as you can. With your professional background, the Paranormal Investigation Bureau should be happy to accept you."
Su Qin spoke the cruelest truth in the most relaxed tone, then picked up the gold woven bag from the ground, no longer caring about Wei Jing's feelings. His task was complete, and the mess to clean up was left for others to deal with.
Before leaving, Su Qin didn't forget to deliver a final blow to Wei Jing.
"Let me give you a piece of advice: if you encounter a paranormal event again, I advise you not to be so reckless. Not everyone will be kind enough to save you. If you do this, you will not only kill yourself, but also cause even bigger trouble and kill more people."
Because of your recklessness, your comrades, and my teammates were forced to fight the vengeful ghost without any intelligence. Not only did they fail to imprison it, but they also killed someone.
You tore off that eerie chain, shattering the balance between the vengeful spirits and triggering an even more terrifying change, understand?
Wei Jing is a good person, but he is too reckless. Although he is not as bad as Su Qin said, Su Qin still felt that he should kindly help him correct this bad habit.
