Chapter 8: The Yin and Yang Eyes

  The red wall of the storage room was originally sealed for this reason, and what role did the female corpse play in it? Some previous doubts were resolved, but new questions arose.

  "Don't you think these words don't sound like they're coming from a police officer's mouth?" Li Jian Tian spoke up after pausing for a few seconds.

  "I believe you, because I've also seen things I shouldn't have." I said sincerely.

  "But what does this have to do with you bringing me here today? I have a lingering question in my mind."

  "In my opinion, you and she are the same kind of people. You can both see things that shouldn't be seen." Li Jian Tian pointed to the seat where the madwoman had sat.

  "If you want to crack this series of cases, you must be able to help us."

  "What are you referring to the police for? What's in it for me?" I retorted.

  "We can arrange a job for you in the future and provide you with all the help you need, as long as it is within the legal scope."

  "Alright, deal." For the first time negotiating with a police officer, I was surprisingly fearless.

  "I still need to take you somewhere else to verify my guess." Li Jian Tian said again.

  I nodded and followed him to another place.

  Zhenling Temple, it is said that a thousand years ago, a high-ranking monk subdued the ghosts and demons, sealing them in the tower, which was located at the highest point on the mountain, known as Zhenling Tower.

  "This thousand-year-old temple was suddenly ravaged by a great fire a few years ago, because it was a mountain fire, the fire burned for three days and three nights without being extinguished. It's strange to say that after the big fire, the town's spirit tower was not damaged at all. Now it has been renovated and has a new look. At that time, I met the master of the temple, Master Wu Wei, and became old friends for many years. I think he should have a way to see through things on your body." Li Jian Tian said to me.

  "Amitabha, Li Shi Zhu, it's been a long time since we last met." A monk wearing a kasaya walked out.

  "Master Wu Wei, I've been busy with official duties for the past two years and haven't had a chance to visit you. I was just thinking of coming to hear your lectures on the classics, and here you are." Li Jian Tian said with a smile.

  "Li Shi-zhu is idle and talks nonsense. Nothing can be done without going to the Sanbao Hall, let's go there one by one." The monk said with deep meaning.

  "Master Wuwei is indeed a man of his word. I was just about to ask for your help with something." Li Jian Tian didn't beat around the bush either.

  "Master, take a look at this child and see what's different about him compared to ordinary people?" Li Jian Tian pointed at me.

  "Please follow me into the hall," said the monk, leading us into the grand hall.

  The monk took a red thread, applied some incense ash to it, and wrapped it around my two wrists, inch by inch, as if he were taking my pulse from afar like in ancient times.

  "Tsk tsk, what a troublemaker, born with a yin body."

  The monk took another bottle with a willow branch inserted and sprinkled water on my eyes, saying it was to brighten my eyes.

  "As expected, born with a pair of yin-yang eyes, yin can communicate with the underworld, yang can see through people's hearts."

  "This donor, have you ever seen anything strange?" the monk asked me.

  "I once saw a boy that nobody else could see," I replied.

  "Benefactor, with these Yin-Yang eyes, you can observe matters of the underworld. Nothing is strange to you." The monk said again.

  "Master, is there a way to break it?" I asked anxiously.

  "This bottle contains Cow's Tears. The Cow's Tears can make ordinary people see ghosts and monsters, and also break the Yin-Yang Eyes. I give this one to you." said the Master.

  "Thank you, Master."

  "Master Li, is there anything else troublesome?" The master turned to Li Jian Tian and said.

  "Master, there's something else I'd like to ask you, have you heard what this ghost grave is?"

  "The ghost grave, that's what the Feng Shui master said. The Buddha said: a place where yin is hidden, according to the classics, it's where the wronged souls are buried. In simpler terms, it's the graveyard of ghosts." The master explained.

  "Is there a way to break it?"

  "Resolve grievances, grievances resolved, injustices redressed, let the spirits rest in peace." The master said.

  "Alright, Master, nothing else, I'll come visit you again next time." Li Jian Tian was about to bid farewell.

  "If there's a ghost tomb, he might be able to crack it." The master said, pointing at me before we left.

  Then, asking him why, the master said "it can't be said, it can't be said", and we didn't entangle too much, went down the mountain.

  "Yang Guo, I'll send you back first," Li Jian Tian said to me.

  I nodded, today has been too unbelievable, can't accept it for now.

  "Don't think too much about it, if there's anything, just give me a call." Li Jian Tian left his phone number.

  Back at school, I went straight to bed and fell asleep, not wanting to think too much, hoping that when I woke up, I would find myself dreaming.

  It didn't go as I wished, and after waking up from a dream, my mind was still a mess. Everything seemed to be going in an abnormal direction.

  The body of Chang Ai-ai has still not been found, and now this thing has happened again.

  I decided to start by searching for the body, and temporarily put the amusement park's matter aside, waiting for Li Jian Tian's side to have some clues before going to help.

  What exactly does that half-page of residual file record? What is the connection between the body number and what's inside, and how can I find her corpse?

  Corpse number: 5204444, what mystery is hidden in it? 520 represents May 20th, which is the time of Chang Ai's death. What do the four 4s represent? Thinking of the homophone "death" read together, May 20th death death death death, suddenly feeling a bit scared, as if the number was intentionally arranged, or just a coincidence, no one knows.

  To know what's behind the corpse number, we need to go to the hospital, where we might find out the real cause of Chang Aiyue's death.

  Going to the hospital, as a medical student, I will definitely be refused entry. It seems that we need to plan for the long term and may need to use police force if necessary. This is what I thought in my heart.

  I attended classes steadily for two days. For these two days, I kept sneaking into Lin's class, and she was extremely annoyed with me, but I was having the time of my life.

  "Yang Guo, are you annoying or what? You follow me every day, don't you have anything else to do? It's like you're going to go back to the girls' dorm with me." Lin Mo said sarcastically.

  "I'd rather go back to the girls' dorm with you." I said with a silly expression.

  "Yang Guo, if you follow me again, I'll get my boyfriend to beat you up."

  "What? You have a boyfriend now? When did this happen?"

  At this time a tall and sturdy boy walked over, "You see, he is my boyfriend."

  He was tall and sturdy, and looked quite handsome.

  I lowered my head slightly, and I clearly felt how insignificant I was in front of him.

  "Sorry, I'm leaving." I forced a smile.

  "Yang Guo, don't go, I was just joking." But I had already walked very far and couldn't hear him at all.

  "Sister, who is that kid? You're so concerned about him, aren't you thinking of pursuing him?" the boy said to Lin Mo.

  "Brother, he's my friend, I was just joking, maybe I hurt him." Lin Mo looked regretful.

  "Look at that kid, he's not even good-looking, completely unworthy of your sister. Don't think about it anymore." The boy patted Lin Mo's head.

  "Really? But he always gives me a different feeling." Lin Mo muttered in a low voice.

  I bought a few cans of beer and came to the lawn behind the medical school. I had a failed romance, or rather, it wasn't even a romance, just unrequited love. My heart felt heavy, and I wanted to cry out loud. As I drank alone, staring at the sky, I suddenly felt that my life had become messy and gloomy, with so many strange things happening all at once, and now even the only girl I liked belonged to someone else.

  From young to old, I have never had a romantic relationship due to my own circumstances. Perhaps it's because of my innate inferiority complex, but I've always had very few female friends and no close friends at all. I was born with a cheap skin and a cheap mouth, and for the first time, I felt how much people disliked me. This time, I'm really heartbroken. Maybe getting drunk is the only way to forget my worries. I forced out a smile, and tears streamed down my face and into my mouth, tasting bitter and unbearable.

  I drank a bit too much and stumbled back to the dormitory, sleeping until noon the next day.

  Who would have thought something big happened.

  Four female students found hanged to death in dormitory of medical college, the scene is extremely gruesome, each with their tongues stretched out, as if they were killed by evil spirits.

  The news spread like wildfire in the school, and there was no way to contain it. The school was on the verge of exploding, causing the biggest commotion in the history of the college. Female students collectively protested, occupying every corner of the school. Even when the police arrived, they were at a loss for what to do.
