Chapter 44 Burning (1)

I have been waiting downstairs of Building 6, Gongnong Village, about a blink of an eye, and Shouzi and Ma Yibing arrived. I looked at the time, and it had been an hour since Shouzi called me, rather than the flash of an eye. The hand holding the lighter was numb because he maintained a posture for a long time, but the lighter in his hand was still the cold touch at the beginning, and it was not heated by my body temperature at all. I don’t know if it was the lighter problem or if I was blowing the cold wind downstairs, my body couldn’t get hot.

The thin man was holding a transparent plastic bag, and with the light of the street lamp, he could clearly see a ball of black cloth inside. Ma Yibing was carrying an iron bucket and a bottle of cooking oil, and was a few steps behind the thin man, staring at the plastic bag in the thin man's hand, and was on guard.

"Let's go." I moved my fingers and felt a soreness.

The thin man's face was full of sweat, as if he was facing a great enemy, and turned around to greet Ma Yibing faster.

Ma Yibing probably doesn't know why we came here to burn kimonos, and he didn't have any extra thoughts to think about these things. The burned kimono that appeared again took away all his attention.

When the thin man went upstairs, he told me about their experience in finding the kimono.

That can't be said to be "finding".

They went to the Drama Academy and entered the club's club's club office. They saw the kimono in the room where props and costumes were stored. The kimono was hung on the shelf and was side by side with other clothes in "The Big Family", as if no one had touched it.

The thin man boldly checked it carefully. There was no burning mark on the kimono and it was intact. As Chen Xiaoqiu once said, the materials were used carefully, the production was exquisite, and the craftsmanship was exquisite, and the storage was very well preserved. This kimono was like a work of art stored in a glass cabinet, rather than a costume hanging in a student club.

The thin man asked Ma Yibing to find a plastic bag to put the kimono on the kimono. When he started, he was afraid that the kimono would react. Who knew that the kimono was like ordinary clothes, and he pinched his hands and went all the way, nothing happened.

"By the way, I asked. Starting from that Fan Wen, the drama club in "The Big Family" has been performed four times."

My steps were slightly paused, "Four times?"

"Well, that is to say..." The thin man grinned.

In other words, four people may have died before. If Zheng Xiaorui is included, there will be five, which is exactly the same as the number of people under the cherry blossom tree I saw.

But it seems that it shouldn't be calculated like this.

I shook my head.

The three of them went up to the sixth floor.

Ma Yibing shivered and finally remembered to ask a question: "Where are we going?"

The thin man and I didn't answer and went straight forward.

The lights in the corridor here are not on, I don’t know if they are broken or have a ghost. We all thought it was broken and pretended to turn on the phone to light it calmly.

The light flashed, and Ma Yibing saw the sign of Qingye and asked carefully: "Is there any expert here?"

Skinny and I still didn't answer him.

The thin man waits for me to open the door.

But I stopped before the key inserted into the lock's eye, and hesitated and knocked on the door twice.

The thin man was shocked, and Ma Yibing was also stunned.

"What are you doing when you knock on the door?"

"You opened this place?"

The two asked completely different questions and used completely different tones.

The thin man was frightened, and Ma Yibing was surprised.

I waited for a while, and no one responded to the door, so naturally no one came to open the door for us. I opened the lock and said, "That... I'm in."

The thin man became even more afraid of kimono. He hugged the kimono on his chest and shrank his body like a little girl, "Hey, hey, Brother Qi, what are you doing!"

Scream-

The door opened and the sound was a little louder, probably because the surroundings were too quiet.

Both of them were shocked.

"Come in." I took a deep breath and entered the office first.

The office is quieter than outside, with no sound at all. I glanced around and didn't see anyone, and I didn't know if it was disappointment or gladness in my heart.

Ma Yibing came in directly. The thin man was furious by my actions. Now he seemed timid than Ma Yibing.

"Hurry up! Don't delay!" I shouted to the thin man.

The thin man stepped into the office with a generous expression on his face.

"The door is closed," I said again.

"Or why not, should you open it?" The thin man discussed with me and pushed the door wider to escape later.

"Don't talk nonsense!" I scolded again.

The thin man looked at me suspiciously, and after a while, he could not see any results.

I walked over and closed the door.

The thin man was shocked and hid two steps away from me.

"Get the iron bucket and clothes." I reached out to the two of them.

Ma Yibing wanted to end this matter quickly, but he cooperated with me very much.

The thin man gave me the kimono.

I poured oil on the kimono and threw it into the iron bucket. The lighter was still being held by me. I didn't know what kind of magical creature this was, so I could only pray that it would come in handy, burn the kimono clean and stop being a demon. After praying, I chanted Amitabha in my heart, talking to myself and advised him to reach the Pure Land soon and not to cause harm to the world.

While muttering, I turned on the sterling silver lighter and the flames jumped out, and the warm light added a little temperature to this cold and dark space.

When the kimono hit the flame, it started to burn and turned into a fire ball, burning extremely fast.

"Will it be fine?" Ma Yibing laughed dryly and asked us both.

The thin man had a calm face, "How did that Lanlan burn?"

Ma Yibing's smile froze on his face, "Yes... I heard it was a match... I just burned like this..."

"Just burning like this, not leaving any ash?" asked the thin man again.

Ma Yibing panicked.

This kind of thing is fine if you don’t want it, but you feel something is wrong when you think about it.

The kimono is either paper, but even paper has ashes, so why is it so easy to burn?

"Maybe it's a special material..." Ma Yibing thought for a long time before coming up with such a reason.

The thin man probably wanted to say something like "ghost material". As soon as he opened his mouth, the fire ball in the iron bucket was burned out.

There are several layers inside and outside the kimono, which is so big that even if the oil is poured, it doesn’t burn so quickly.

Ma Yibing himself didn't believe the nonsense of "special material" he said, but he didn't believe in other "truths". He said anxiously: "We'll leave after burning!"

The thin man glared at Ma Yibing, "At least wait, it will come back..."

Before I finished speaking, I felt a gust of wind blowing by my side. I suddenly raised my hand, and my arms were straight in circles, grabbing behind me.

Both Skinny and Ma Yibing were frightened by my actions, and Skinny took three steps back and was far away from me.

I was carried by the arm, just in the direction where my arm was poking out. My hand showed a fist-clenched posture, which should have been used to use strength, but I couldn't feel it at all.

While Skinny and Ma Yibing were about to ask, something appeared in my fist.

It was a piece of black fabric, which expanded and grew in my hands, and turned into the appearance of clothes. The cherry blossom trees gradually appeared from the canopy to the roots.

The thin man and Ma Yibing vented frequently.

I couldn't make any sound because I saw that the kimono with my collar pinched was not hanging like a normal dress, but stood upright in the air, as if inside the dress...
