I am Li Ang, and these are my colleagues Tom and Lily.\"\nSeeing a guest coming to the door, Li Ang quickly put on his suit and tie.\nHe also extended his hand to introduce Tang Mu and the others to the two of them.\nAlthough Li Ang has tried his best to be personable.\nBut introducing a cat and a pot to people as one's colleagues still seems a bit strange to people who are not familiar with them.\nThe two people outside the door obviously thought so too.\n\"Hey, are you reliable? I feel like there's something wrong with his brain.\"\nXiao Ming, who had a hedgehog hair, looked at Li Ang, leaned back slightly, and spoke in a low voice to his companion beside him.\nFa Mao's surname is Mao, so logically it should be called Mao Mao.\nBut the name doesn't sound good no matter it's called upright or backwards. In comparison, it sounds slightly better, so I chose this name.\nHe has a short buzzcut and round-rimmed glasses. He looks polite and agrees with Xiao Ming's words.\nAfter all, this office is located in a mental hospital.\nThe boss of the office seems to have some mental problems, which is hard not to make people think of him.\n  \"How about it?Are we still going in? \"\nXiao Ming looked at Li Ang, facing Li Ang's expectant eyes, with an awkward smile on his face, and asked Fa Mao in a low voice.\n\"Come in, you're here.\"\nFa Mao said, walking into the office first.\n\"Hello, we are here to ask you about something. It would be great if my sister Qin Xinji.\"\nFa Mao said, taking out a flyer from the pocket behind his buttocks and saying, \"I found it after reading the flyer you posted.\"\nAs he spoke, Fa Mao placed the flyer on his desk.\nAt this time, Li Ang had already sat behind the desk, and nodded with satisfaction when he saw the flyer handed over by Fa Mao.\n\"It seems that the flyers we posted outside these days are still effective.\"\nLi Ang said this to Tang Mu.\nAfter the guests came in, Tom went to the water dispenser and poured two glasses of ice water over.\nLooking at the cat holding a tray in front of them and walking upright like a human, Fa Mao and Xiao Ming were greatly shocked.\n\"Thank you, thank you.\"\nThe two took the water glasses from the tray, although they were startled by Tom Mu.\nBut it was precisely because of Tom Mu's presence that the two men's suspicions about this firm were a little lessened.\nAfter all, Tom Mu doesn't look like a normal existence.\nA firm with such a strange cat may really have some ability in catching ghosts.\nAt least they are more reliable than those masters who have nothing but a mouth and come out with their mouths.\n\"Master, do you believe there are ghosts in this world?\"\nFa Mao and Xiao Ming had obviously encountered some supernatural events, and they still looked a little frightened.\nBut Fa Mao is a relatively stable and cautious person.\nIt was obvious that we came to a spy agency, but I still tried to test it out of habit.\n\"Of course I believe it. I have been dealing with ghosts since I was a child.\"\nLi Ang put on his round sunglasses and smiled very proudly while motioning for the two guests to sit down and talk.\nThe guests asked him questions, and he responded politely, asking Fa Mao and Li Ang: \"I also want to ask you, do you believe that there are flying saucers in the world and that there is a water monster in Loch Ness?\"\n\"Believe it.\"\nFa Mao nodded.\n\"I have read \"The Adventures of Jackie Chan\" written by Tom and I believe it.\"\nXiao Ming also nodded on the side.\n\"Very good, we can communicate.\"\nLi Ang shook hands with Fa Mao.\nTom Mu also came over, took out a copy of \"The Adventures of Jackie Chan\" he had written, signed his name on it and handed it to Xiao Ming.\nI stupidly took the novel from the big cat, with a confused face.\nHe looked at the book in his hand, and then at the cat in front of him, which was obviously not a normal cat.\nSuddenly I remembered that Tom was the one Li Ang introduced to Tom Mu.\nCould it be that the adventure novels that have become popular around the world in recent years were actually written by a cat? !\nXiao Ming already felt that his brain was not enough.\nThis world is really becoming more and more magical.\nLi Ang didn't pay attention to Tang Mu's actions. Facing the first guest above, he was very enthusiastic and said happily: \"I saw flying saucers when I was a baby, which is what the world often calls UFO. Do you understand UFOs and UFOs?\"\n\"When I was four years old, I saw the legendary Loch Ness Monster, chatted with Bigfoot in the Himalayas, and played guessing games.\"\n\"In addition, since I was a child, I have played roller coaster every morning and pirate ship in the afternoon. I have played pirate ship in the morning, roller coaster in the afternoon, and pirate ship again in the evening!\"\n\"So I often tell young people, don't think about reaching the sky in one step. I have the skills I have today because I have gone through countless tests. I have seen the most terrifying things! I have also seen the most abnormal things! What else can Scared to the point of knocking me down?!\"\nLi Ang's long string of words, like a barrage of words, obviously shocked both Fa Mao and Xiao Ming, and they didn't speak for a long time.\n\"So you don't have to worry about my professionalism. If you have anything, just tell us. We will definitely be able to help you solve the problem.\"\nLi Ang mentioned something again.\nOnly then did the two of them wake up from a dream.\n\"It's like this. We seem to have bumped into a powerful ghost. She has killed three people in the past few days.\"\nXiao Ming was obviously impatient. When the topic got to the point, he immediately started talking eagerly.\nAfter all, in just a few days, three of his close friends suddenly died.\nNo one else would be able to calm down.\n\"Don't worry, drink some water, and tell me everything about this, so that we can help you.\"\nLi Ang motioned to Xiao Ming to drink water.\n\"Let me tell you. Although I am not a personal experiencer of the incident, Xiao Ming has told me everything he knows.\"\nMao Mao, who was relatively calm, began to introduce the whole story of their ghost encounter.\nTang Mu listened attentively, nodded repeatedly, and even took out a small notebook to record something in it, looking very professional.\nXiao Ming was a little curious about this, so he stuck his head over to take a look.\nIn the end, all I saw was that Tang Mu had drawn a bunch of stick figure comic strips on the notebook.\nIt seems that he is indeed drawing what Fa Mao is talking about.\nThe original professional atmosphere was instantly broken.\nAccording to Fa Mao's narrative, their ghost encounter should have been caused by a psychic game.\nThis is simply the standard opening of horror movies and horror stories.\nIt's a classic within a classic.\nA few days ago,Xiao Ming and his four friends played a psychic game in Datou's house.\nDa Tou is one of Xiao Ming's friends.\nHe was also the host of this psychic game.\nHe found a bit of human corpse oil from somewhere.\nI want to use this as an opportunity to channel.\nThe process of channeling is like this.\nDatou poured most of the tap water into a large bowl.\nExcept for Xiao Ming, the other four people who participated in the channeling cut their fingers and mixed their blood into water.\nThen the four of them drank the blood water one after another, surrounded the lit corpse oil, and held hands at the table for channeling.\nXiao Ming was not interested in their psychic game because he was born with yin and yang eyes and could see ghosts.\nAs a result, just as the psychic game started, Xiao Ming saw a female ghost with disheveled hair and blue clothes in the corner of the room.\nAnd getting closer and closer to the four people who are channeling.\nXiao Ming was worried that something might happen to them, so he quickly stepped forward and blew out the wick of the corpse oil, interrupting the four people's psychic game.\nAt first, the four of them were still blaming Xiao Ming.\nAs a result, it didn't take long for the host of this psychic game, Da Tou, to drown himself in his bathtub.\nThe frightened people called the police and then returned home.\nFrom that moment on, bad things began to happen to them.\nFirst, A B left home inexplicably, walked onto the rooftop in the middle of the night, and fell directly to his death.\nThen Sister Fa strangled her mother to death, then sharpened a knife and stabbed it into her own mouth, stabbing herself to death directly.\nAfter the police came to investigate the scene, they only said that Sister Fa had committed suicide after committing the murder.\nBut Xiao Ming, who has participated in psychic games, knows that this incident is definitely related to the female ghost he saw.\nAt first, the two of them just wanted to find the answer behind it themselves.\nAfter all, three people are dead now.\nXiao Ming doesn't want his girlfriend Annie to die too.\n\n            \n\n\n\n                 \nFor this reason, Xiao Ming asked his sister Xiao Qiao, a reporter, for help a long time ago.\nIt's just that Xiao Qiao doesn't believe that there are ghosts in this world.\nIn the end, Fa Mao, who was Xiao Qiao's good friend and wanted to be Xiao Ming's brother-in-law, believed in Xiao Ming and investigated the matter with Xiao Ming.\nIt happened that during this process, I saw the small advertisement posted by Tom Mu and others on the telephone pole.\nBased on the idea that there is strength in numbers and there is no chance of success, Li Ang was approached by Li Ang, a firm that had just opened a few days ago.\nAfter listening to Fa Mao's story, Li Ang nodded seriously: \"You are indeed ghosts, and it seems that you are not ordinary evil ghosts.\"\n\"Let's go, isn't Annie who participated in the psychic game still alive? Let's go see her first.\"\nLi Ang stood up directly as he spoke, holding the toolbox in one hand and the lily potted plant in the other and walked out.\nFa Mao and Xiao Ming did not expect Li Ang to be so action-oriented.\nThe two looked at each other and quickly stood up and followed.\nTang Mu walked at the back, calmly closing the glass door of the office and hanging a sign saying it was temporarily closed.\nA group of people arrived downstairs at Annie's house.\nIt was already afternoon.\nBut for some unknown reason, the old apartment building where Annie's house is located looks a little gloomy.\n\"This is it, I'll take you up.\"\nXiao Ming led everyone up the stairs and walked upstairs. He also said: \"Because Big Head and A B are both dead, Anne's family also thinks that the psychic game has attracted ghosts.\"\n\"So they also invited masters and put talismans everywhere in the house, saying they were used to suppress evil spirits. Annie has been at home these days and has not gone out.\"\n\"There are a lot of fake masters and half-baked people these days. If something like this happens again in the future, you'd better come to our firm. It's more reliable.\"\nLi Ang took the opportunity to start soliciting customers, and he also didn't forget to treat his companions.\nXiao Ming, who was leading the way, couldn't help but look back at Li Ang, looking at his outfit, and then at Tang Mu who was looking around, his mouth opened, but in the end he didn't say anything.\nHe always felt that Li Ang was not very reliable.\nAnd Tom the cat is really a bit too bizarre.\nA timid person would probably be scared to death if he saw Tom Mu, the cat.\nIn fact, Tom Mu has indeed scared many people since he turned into a cat.\nWhile the few people were talking, they had already arrived at the door of Annie's house.\n\"Bang bang bang!\"\nXiao Ming started to knock on the door and shouted inside: \"Annie, Annie, it's me, Xiao Ming, I'm here to see you.\"\nXiao Ming called the door for several minutes, but there was no response from inside.\nThis made Xiao Ming instantly nervous, fearing that something would happen.\n\"What should we do? Should we break down the door?\"\nFa Mao said something behind.\nAfter hearing this, Tang Mu took out a clay bomb with directional explosion and handed it to Fa Mao.\nLooking at the bomb in front of him, Fa Mao was almost scared to death.\nHe quickly pushed Tom Mu's paw away: \"It's not necessary! It's not necessary!\"\nGood guy, not everyone in this firm is mentally ill.\nHow could anyone break into the door and use a bomb?\nIf you are not killed by the female ghost by then, you will be shot by the Flying Tigers first.\n\"Clay bombs don't work, so can you think of this?\"\nLi Ang opened the tool box and took out an old friend's chainsaw.\n\"You are exaggerating.\"Fa Mao quickly refused.\nNow he has begun to regret looking for Li Ang and the others.\nBefore, I just speculated that Li Ang and the others were unreliable, but now I am sure that Li Ang and the others are unreliable.\nWhile there was still commotion outside, there was a \"squeak\" and the door was opened.\nAnnie, with a gloomy face, was standing inside the door, staring at the group of people in the corridor outside.\n\"Annie, you finally opened the door. You scared me to death. Just be fine.\"\nWhen Xiao Ming saw his girlfriend opening the door, he quickly stepped forward and hugged her.\n\"I'm fine, you can come in.\"\nAnnie shook her head, turned around and walked into the room without saying anything else.\nThe light in the living room was a little dim, there was not enough lighting, and the lights were not turned on.\nAt this time, Anne seemed to be the only one in her family.\nThe whole room was quiet.\nAnne sat down on the wooden sofa in the living room. She had no intention of entertaining guests. She just sat there quietly, surrounded by a low pressure.\nThe whole person seemed to be in a very bad mood.\n\"How's it going? Did you see anything?\"\nFa Mao stood next to Li Ang.\nAlthough I think Li Ang is very unreliable.\nBut now that the matter has come to this, I can only choose to believe in Li Ang.\nJust like Xiao Ming said before.\nThis room is indeed covered with talismans everywhere.\nIt seems that he is well prepared to guard against ghosts.\nJust putting these talismans on it made this home even more gloomy.\n\"There is indeed a ghost here.\"\nLi Ang said, looking at the lily potted plant held in his left arm.\nFa Mao also followed Li Ang's gaze and looked at Lily in his hand.\nThis pot of lilies that can sense the location of ghosts is slowly turning.\nDuo searched for dirty things in the house like a radar.\nSuddenly, Lily Lily aimed in one direction, seemed to have locked on a certain target, and began to slowly turn to the right.\nSeeing this, Li Ang and Fa Mao looked up and saw Annie, who had just sat down, stood up again, walked to the side and came back with a basket of medicine bottles.\n\"What does this mean? Why is it always facing Annie? Can you tell me?\"\nFa Mao thought of some possibility, and his eyes suddenly widened.\n\"Yes, she has been possessed by a ghost.\"\nLi Ang nodded in agreement.\n\"Hey, Annie, what are you doing? Annie, don't scare me.\"\nXiao Ming also noticed that Annie was not normal, so he started to talk on the spot.\nIn the original plot of the movie \"The Old Corpse\", the time period when Annie was attacked by the female ghost happened relatively late.\nAt that time, Xiao Ming and Fa Mao had already investigated certain truths.\nBut it's different now.\nBecause of Li Ang's intrusion.\nBefore Xiao Ming and Fa Mao had time to investigate, they came directly to Annie's house.\nIt seemed that it was because of this that the female ghost in blue started to attack Annie directly.\nThis also proves that the four people who played the psychic game have always been haunted by ghosts.\nWhen she dies depends entirely on the female ghost's mood.\nAt this time, Annie had an extremely ferocious expression on her face. She unscrewed all the medicine bottles in the basket and poured all the pills inside into the basket.\nAfter a while, the basket was filled with all kinds of white pills.\nAnnie raised her head, looked at everyone in the room and sneered, grabbed the pills in the basket and stuffed them into her mouth.\n  Three-drug.\nWhat's more, there are all kinds of medicines here.\nNo one can hold such a large amount of stuffing into his mouth.\n\"No! No! Please let Annie go! Annie is innocent! Annie! Annie! Calm down!\"\nWhen Xiao Ming saw Annie like this, he was immediately nervous and sad. He could only stand there and scream at the ghostly Annie, trying to awaken her will.\nWhen he saw Xiao Ming's appearance, Tang Mu suddenly became furious.\nJump up and slap him in the face!\nXiao Ming was slapped to the ground with a \"pop\" sound.\nXiao Ming felt a burning pain on the left side of his face.\nLooking at Tom Mu, his face was full of confusion.\nI don't know why this cat hit me.\nTom Mu saw that he was unhappy, so of course he wanted to beat him.\nAll I can do is stand on the side and shout \"No, no, no\", why don't you just rush up and lift her medicine basket? !\nEvery time he watches movies and TV shows, this is the kind of character that Tom Mu hates the most.\nAlways fall short at critical moments.\n\"Hahaha! It's useless for anyone to come! I want her to die! You must die too!\"\nAnnie, who was possessed by the ghost, suddenly started to laugh to the sky.\nA long hair automatically windless.\n  \"Snapped!\"\nTom rushed up and slapped Anne who was laughing!\nLaugh!\nLaughing, Nima, laughing!\nAfter being slapped, Annie looked at Tom Mu in disbelief.\nProbably because I took a lot of medicine.\nIt may be due to ghost possession, or it may be a drug reaction.\nBlood was already flowing from the corner of Annie's mouth.\n\"You dare to hit me!\"\nAnnie yelled in disbelief and glared at the cat in front of her.\n  \"Snapped!\"\nTom slapped Annie again, making her dizzy.\n\"Ah! I'm going to kill you!\"\nAnnie's face turned livid, and she immediately stretched out her claws, screaming and trying to strangle Tom Mu to death.\nBut Tom was like a slippery eel, moving around in Annie's hands.\nAfter a while, Annie's hands twisted and she actually tied a knot on herself!\n\n            \n\n\n\n                 \n\"What! How is this possible!\"\nThe female ghost looked shocked.\nLi Ang also came up at this time, holding an electric horn in his hand, and shouted in Annie's face: \"Come out!\"",3401,"2026-06-05T15:23:28.309Z",1,null,"77857f43a5e4d2859889562895fe873af998f933f8fe3dea66509dd48fffe744","stew-yourself-in-an-iron-pot-227","the-old-corpse-in-the-mountain-village-225",463,"\u002Fcovers\u002F2744d9e2-255e-4853-bafb-59a1dcb29203-1780673005081.jpg"]
