Chapter 5
Chapter 4
However, at that moment, the dead soul got through the gap, jumped out from under Jiang Liu's hand, and rushed straight to Shen Kodan.
Shen Kodan was startled, and took two steps back. Although he has caught countless ghosts in these years, he has never seen such a powerful evil thing.
Ghosts have no entity, and generally cannot directly cause physical harm to people, especially in front of people with strong spiritual power.
But it can kill people by affecting people's brain waves, controlling people's central nervous system, causing people to be paralyzed and various hallucinations. Untrained ghosts have no magic power at the beginning, and can only harm people by creating hallucinations and "ghost pounces". People who have been "ghost pounced" have either been caught by ghosts or absorbed yang energy, with great cold and weakness in their bodies, slight The most serious ones are just a cold war, and the serious ones will appear sick and even no cause of death can be found. Ghosts usually use this to prolong their stay in the world, so that their souls will not disperse.
The ghost in front of him now is just a baby like most of the ghosts that Shen Kodan had subdued before, with a particularly big head, grinning and giggling weirdly.
Jiang Liu saw it escape, quickly and calmly took out a metal bottle from the box next to it, and sprayed it into the air twice. Shen Koudan suddenly felt a bone-piercing cold seeping through her limbs, and then the big-headed doll slowly stopped in the air less than two decimeters away from her. As if frozen in an instant, there was a light blue translucent entity, and a ferocious smile remained on his face.
Shen Koudan loves to run in the playground not far from home, and she is always used to the basketball, football, badminton and baseball flying from all directions. Pick up the broom next to it to fight back. If it was a ghost, she would naturally avoid it under her strong aura, but the ghost just solidified at this moment, so the poor big-headed doll spun around, smashed the glass, and flew out of the window.
Jiang Liu was stunned, and Shen Koudan himself didn't react for a while. The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Shen Koudan threw the broom aside guiltily, and wiped his clothes with his hands.
Mao'er knew she was going to laugh at her again, why was she always brain-dead at critical moments.
Jiang Liu shook his head helplessly. Afraid of scaring the other party, he pretended to inadvertently pull the white sheet to cover the corpse on the shelf.
"Can the mother-in-law see it?"
Shen Koudan met his caring eyes, felt a little warmth in his heart, and said in a hoarse voice: "That's natural, I've been in this hospital for most of my life, I've seen these things a lot, what kind of brat sees me? run."
Jiang Liu nodded: "Mother-in-law isn't home so late?"
"I should ask you this. I have no children and I often live in the hospital. Who are you? What are you doing here?"
Jiang Liu smiled softly: "My mother-in-law saw it just now. I'm here to work."
"Are you a ghost hunter?" Shen Koudan was puzzled, something seemed wrong with the man in front of her, but she didn't have enough mana to see clearly.
"Don't catch ghosts, I'm a dead makeup artist, the dean invited me to do makeup."
"For that baby?" Shen Kodan was startled.
"right."
"Isn't he the cause of the hospital's recent unrest?"
Jiang Liu nodded: "He took other dead babies to make a fuss around, looking for his parents all the time. But because he was born and died here, he couldn't get out of the hospital. I didn't expect to be beaten out by you with a broom."
Shen Kodan sweated profusely: "What does it look like, can I have a look?"
Both of them are top makeup masters, but Jiang Liu usually paints for the dead, while she paints for herself. Seeing that someone was putting makeup on a dead baby, she naturally wanted to visit.
Jiang Liu hesitated for a moment, and slowly opened the white sheet.
A finely crafted baby was lying in front of Shen Kodan. The skin was not as wrinkled as it was when it was just born, but smooth and tender, with a watery face that made one want to pinch it. He bit his fingers and curled up into a ball, as if he was having a sweet dream. It's just that there are several places on the body that are sewn with transparent threads, and most people don't notice it at all.
An angel created by God must be like this. Shen Koudan couldn't help but leaned forward, but suddenly saw the baby's finger-sucking mouth move, and couldn't help but turn pale with shock.
"Isn't he dead?"
"Yes, dead."
"But just now..."
"The soul is dead, but the body is not dead yet."
"What do you mean? Is the soul out of the body?"
"No, this problem is very complicated. He is a ghost, but he has a human body. The hospital has nothing to do with this vegetative body, so I asked me to come over and take a look. Strictly speaking, I am not here to give him makeup, but to give him Suppressing the soul, thinking about whether the return of the soul can make him a normal person, but obviously, he is used to being a ghost and does not want to be a human being. Now there is neither physical restraint nor hospital restraint, and he can finally go out and play without thinking How happy he is."
Shen Kodan was a little dizzy by him.
"Talk to my mother-in-law again when I have a chance. I'm going to arrest him now, otherwise I don't know how many troubles will be caused."
Jiang Liu wrapped the baby's body in a transparent airbag, put it in one of the layers of the carry-on box, and was about to leave.
Shen Koudan hurriedly said: "Let me help you!" She accidentally let go, so she should have caught it herself.
Jiang Liu turned around and smiled: "No need, Grandma Shen, you can continue cleaning here..."
As he spoke, he jumped out of the window on the fifth floor, his black windbreaker fluttering, and disappeared in the night in an instant.
Shen Kodan looked out the window and shook his head. He really didn't pay much attention to concealing it just now. He is also a professional makeup artist.
But next time it will not be so easy, and the one she just let go, no matter it is a human or a ghost, she will definitely catch it back herself.
Jiang Liu returned to the store and found condoms thrown all over the floor.
"Xiao Si, haven't you slept yet?" It's almost dawn.
Xiaosi didn’t look up and went through the boxes and boxes by himself: “Dad, do we have durian-flavored condoms in our house?”
Jiang Liu couldn't help but laugh: "Why are you looking for that?"
Xiao Si waved his fist viciously: "I want to send a box to Li Yueyi in front of the whole class!"
Jiang Liu raised his eyebrows, took the ubiquitous lollipop in the shop and peeled it open in his mouth: "How did she offend you, and she used such vicious methods to retaliate?"
Xiao Si sneered with his mouth crooked, "Hmph, she made me look ugly in front of a super handsome guy today."
"Super handsome? How handsome? More handsome than your father?" Jiang Liu picked her up and put her on his lap.
Xiao Si found his usual comfortable position to lean against, wrapping his arms around his neck.
"It's very imposing and makes me feel scared. It's RH blood type!"
"That's no wonder, blood type is the key point. I ran into someone from the Shen family in the hospital today."
"The Shen family who catches ghosts?"
Jiang Liu nodded.
The Shen family has been hunting demons and catching ghosts for generations, and they are somewhat famous in the shady world of Taoyuan City. Usually the old ghost will teach the little ghost like this, "Run, run, see if you go out mischievously and scare people, be careful and let the Shen family catch you."
Jiang Liu brought Jiang Xiaosi to Taoyuan City for two or three years, always doing business with ghosts, always well-informed, how could he not know about the Shen family. But at any rate, he is someone from the land, and as an inhuman, he naturally has to restrain himself a bit. As long as the Shen family participates in such things as putting makeup on the dead and calming down their souls, Jiang Liu usually won't take over.
Although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, there are still many rumors about the Shen family. It is said that in a night battle where hundreds of ghosts devoured the city many years ago, the Shen family suffered countless casualties. The man's spells are superb and unreasonable, and the ghosts that usually fall into his hands end in misery, which is an absolute ghost. Fortunately, he has a job to do, so he doesn't catch ghosts often. The other is the heir of the Shen family, with a mysterious identity, always appearing in various forms such as old people and children, and no one even knows whether it is a man or a woman.
When he first saw Shen Koudan today, he didn't recognize her. In terms of disguise, she had almost no flaws, and even her language, demeanor, and movements were lifelike. He just deduced it according to common sense, and felt suspicious, and then observed it. She was not afraid of ghosts, and even knocked ghosts away with a broom. Her movements were quick, ruthless and accurate, and she could hit a home run. Later, he said that he wanted to help, except for the Shen family who are good at disguises, there should be no one else. But whether she is a man or a woman, and how old she is, I really can't tell.
My own make-up technique is more focused on modification than camouflage. Compared with her superb skills, it is nothing.
You must know that the best disguiser among ordinary people has no face, because the camouflage is not perfect because of the height, so the nose, lips, etc. have to be cut off, and the cheekbones, chin, etc. have to be smoothed. However, if you practice bone shrinking skills, you can change your height at will and become anyone. The members of the Shen family know spells, so it is naturally more convenient to disguise themselves.
Xiao Si looked at Jiang Liu with some worry: "Is there a conflict? Didn't there be a fight?"
Jiang Liu pinched Xiao Si's nose: "Fool, are you still afraid that I will be taken in? Your father is a thousand-year-old man. How can the Shen family beat me? Don't worry. But if you meet, you'd better avoid it."
"I know, Dad, I want to sleep with you today." Xiao Si shook him back and forth and began to act like a baby.
"Don't you think it's too dark in the coffin and refuse to sleep?"
"I will sleep with you in the coffin on the fifteenth day of every month! You will sleep with me in bed on the first day of every month!"
Jiang Liu was helpless: "What kind of bargain is this?"
"I don't care, that's it, today is the first day of the new year."
Xiao Si cheerfully pulled Jiang Liu onto the bed.
