"Hey, what are you saying? Xiaorui is already really scared, so can you not make these cynical remarks?"
"There is many evil spirits in this world, and those who's minds are not strong will easily be tangled with those evil spirits. Wrap up all your stuff since all I'm doing is scaring you. I am still not sure what it is, but there is no doubt that it's goal is your fear. The more you're afraid, the more you worry, and the more stronger it is. Miss Zheng, if you can't face it bravely, I don't know how strong it will grow."
"What do you mean? Will...will it kill me?"
"Xiaorui, don't be scared."
"There is no denying that it will happen. So, Miss Zheng, please be brave."
"You speak so easily! How can I be brave? It's not you who has encountered this type of situation! How can I not be afraid? If it was you, wouldn't you be scared, too?!"
"You...Xiao...Xiaorui..."
" [HUFFS!HUFFS!] "
"You having this kind of vigor, I am very pleased. If you act like this towards that thing, it would be even better."
"Hey, just stop talking!"
"What do you know...you don't understand how I feel....."
"Little girl, Zheng Xiaorui. If you are this scared and you're just waiting for someone to save you, I suggest you to go commit suicide now. I can recommend you some places with heavy yin and on the right time, you may have the chance to become the thing that you are afraid of now. This way, you won't be scared anymore, right? After all, after you reincarnate, it is possible that you could encounter a spiritual encounter in the next life. Might as well just become a ghost, then you can be fearless."
" [CRIES] "
"That's enough! Xiaorui, don't listen to him talk nonsense. It's fine, Xiaorui. We can go find other psychics, someone will save you!"
"Hey, Tou Er..."
"Are you done crying?"
"You..."
"If you're done, go home and find things that have lessen or increased in your home. This is very important, please take it seriously. This thing, only you can do it, no one else can help you. If you don't want to die, then you need to be brave."
"..."
"Ling, send them out."
"Ok. You two, here please."
"Xiaorui, let's go and not come here again."
"..."
CLATTER...CLATTER...CLATTER...BANG.
"Hey, Tou Er. You didn't need to be so strict on a little girl, right?"
"Did you see something?"
" [SIGH]...that little girl's yang has been weakening."
"Is it because of that thing?"
"I didn't see anything. It is estimated that her spirit isn't that good and she encountered an evil spirit, her yang will weaken. Even after, when she doesn't have that thing anymore, she won't live long anyways."
"Ah...then what should we do?"
"We can only rely on her. For many people, even though we got rid of their evil spirits, but we couldn't save their lives."
"Is it similar to a serious illness? There isn't any treatment, it has already damaged the body, and if it is not well-regulated..."
"It's like that."
January 15, 2014: A call from the client was received. Call recording 2014011516.mp3
"Hello, Miss Zheng."
"..."
"Miss Zheng?"
"I...found...something..."
"Ah? What is it? Is it convenient for us to come to your home now?"
"Yes, come over. The things...are the masks and kimonos..."
"Ok, we come over soon."
January 15, 2014: Arrived at client's home. Audio file 07820140115.wav.
"Miss Zheng...Miss Duan, hello."
"You are here."
"What happened these two days? You two don't look very good."
"I didn't find anything, Xiaorui...found these two things..."
"Masks and kimonos, right?"
BANG!
"Ah!"
"AHHH!"
"What is it? Tou Er!"
BANG!
BANG!BANG! CLANG!CLANG!
"This——Ow Ah!"
"What, what is that? A fox?"
" [CRYING] "
"Xiao Rui, don't be afraid, it's been caught."
" [WHIMPER] "
"Is this a fox? Before did it run out from this mask?"
"It is a fox, a fox spirit, and likes to play tricks on people."
"That thing did this to Xiao Rui?"
"It looks like it."
"The kimono...is there any problem with it?"
"The kimono's yin is also very heavy and it's been experienced by many owners as they passed it down. People like Miss Zheng are not suitable for these kinds of old things."
" [WHIMPERS] "
"Can you guys solve this, then?"
"Yes."
"Xiao Rui will be ok, right?"
"She's ok for the time being."
"Ah?"
"Zheng Xiaorui, do you still remember the words I said last time?"
"..."
"If your will is not strong and your mind is unstable, it is easy to be targeted by evil spirits. If you don't want to encounter this type of thing again, you need to be brave. Ghosts and monsters are not so scary. They have no form after all and are not comparable to living people. But if you are afraid, then they may kill you."
"..."
"I will protect Xiao Rui well!"
"Oh? Then alright. Keep fighting."
"You!"
January 15, 2014: The fox was killed, the fox mask and cherry blossom kimono was destroyed. The event ends.
Attached: Fox spirit, fox mask and cherry blossom kimono photos.
____________
Several enlarged photos were clipped to the end of the file.
The picture of the fox spirit was a bit blurry, the fox looked like a typical red fox, a hand pressed against its neck, shrinking into a ball, it's big tail encircling its body, looking very scared of the person holding it.
That fox mask are those popular white fox with squinty eyed mask in Japan. With red decorative designs on it and is indeed very beautiful. You could never tell that it was something horrible.
The kimono however gave me an uncomfortable feeling. The color was black, there were a few petals on the upper part of the kimono. There were lots of cherry blossom and there were fluttering on the sleeves. On the back was a cherry blossom tree with dense branches and the front of the kimono was the extension of the tree. The top of the tree was on the shoulder area, like it's a hand reaching out and grabbing the shoulders.
"But if you are afraid, they may kill you."
The words that "Tou Er" said echoed in my ear, reminding me of the cold feeling back at the office. Is it because I am afraid, that I have those kinds of feelings? Then does that office really have ghosts?
"Must be psychological effects," I said to myself.
It's ridiculous to have ghosts at a place where a ghost catcher lives. Although this Qingye Supernatural Office has failed, but at least it's not like those unreliable swindler shops, and those people in the office don't seem like they don't have any abilities.
The feeling at the office must have been psychological effects. It must be a psychological effect too when I looked at the picture of the kimono.
I looked down at the file and suddenly noticed that there was something else in the picture of the kimono. I looked closely and found that under the cherry blossom tree there was two people. The two stood by each other and held the trunk by hand and half of their body was blocked by the trunk. Compared to the cherry blossom tree, the two people were small. They were both wearing back safflower clothes, which were easy to beldn into the background.
I didn't know why, but heart began to beat faster. I felt like this was a terrible discovery.
"Brother, are you still not sleeping? You have work tomorrow, do you?"
