I Can Rewind Chapter 22: The old woman knocking on the door in the middle of the night (3)

As early as the beginning of receiving the task of "The Old Woman Knocking on the Door at Midnight", Yan Junze knew that there were branch tasks to be triggered for this task.

So when the map indicated that the branch mission had been triggered, he wasn't too surprised, and immediately looked at the flashing text.

[Task name: Combing hair;

Task level: panic (low);

Task background: According to the custom of Lianhua Town, Shuntian City, Tianmeng District, Huaying Dadu, the dead person must be combed three times, so that the dead person will go away peacefully without any nostalgia. Although Granny Ren is gone, her obsession is very deep. If she combs her hair three times, it may make her go peacefully.

Mission description: Find a comb and comb her hair for Grandma Ren, while saying "Reborn in bliss, remove the troubles of this life", "Reborn in bliss, erase the pain of this life", "Reborn in bliss, eliminate karma in this life";

Mission reward: 100 different-dimensional energy points;

Mission penalty: Unknown;

Task tips: 1. The evil spirit cannot be locked; 2. Do not recite the words of rebirth;

Remarks: Granny Ren is not dumb. 】

Yan Junze looked at it carefully, and felt that this branch task was not difficult, and could be completed by the way. The only thing was that he didn't have much experience in combing the dead's hair.

And Granny Ren didn't know how long she had been dead. If it had started to rot, would the scalp be ripped off during the combing process?

Just thinking about that scene gives chills to the bottom of my heart.

"Comb gently, combing your hair is not the purpose, just don't misread the words of the past life." Yan Junze muttered to himself.

Turning his head to look around, the light was dim, and he didn't see where the comb was placed.

He left the bedroom and returned to the living room. He searched everywhere, but he couldn't find it in the living room. Then he ran to the bathroom to search, searching all the drawers and sinks.

After a few minutes, there was still no trace of a comb.

"Don't Granny Ren usually comb her hair? Impossible, she is not me."

Yan Junze murmured to himself and went back to the bedroom, standing by the bed, looking at the body of Granny Ren lying on her side on the bed with only a little hair exposed outside the quilt.

He remembered very clearly that when he saw Granny Ren's back just now, her hair was very neatly arranged, and she didn't look like someone who didn't comb her hair often.

"Look again."

Yan Junze searched in this bedroom this time. Since Granny Ren sleeps here, there is a high possibility of finding the comb.

If you really can't find it, then you have to go back to your own home, find a comb and bring it up.

But Yan Junze was unwilling to do this. If he made a noise after returning home and woke up his parents, it would be self-defeating. Then all the tasks would not be completed, and the consequences would be unimaginable.

Yan Junze looked through the bedside table, desk, wardrobe, and even under the bed, but he still couldn't find the comb.

Strange!

Glancing at the dead body on the bed, a strange idea suddenly popped up, Yan Junze swallowed his saliva, and said to himself: "I won't be like Zhang Tiantian again!"

Last time in the task of "Staying in the same room with Zhang Tiantian", a ballpoint pen was found by the possessed spirit, and it ended up being stuck in Zhang Tiantian's eye socket.

"Is this comb stuck in Granny Ren's body again?" Yan Junze showed suspicion, "She is already dead, so she got up to find the comb and stuck it in herself? What kind of operation is this?"

Doubt is doubtful, but always confirm whether your guess is correct or not.

Yan Junze approached Granny Ren's bed, reached out and grabbed the quilt, during which he sniffed vigorously, but still did not smell any rotten smell.

Could it be that the mother-in-law is allowed to sit and become a fairy, and her body will not rot?

Never mind, let's find the comb first.

Slowly lifted the quilt, revealing Granny Ren in a thin padded coat, curled up with her back to herself. I didn't see any comb stuck in her back, or the back of her head.

"Something's wrong!" Yan Junze stared at Granny Ren's body suspiciously.

If Granny Ren died in her sleep, how could she wear all the clothes well? It is impossible for ordinary people to sleep wearing so many clothes.

With doubts, he walked around the bed and stood in front of Granny Ren who was lying on her side.

From this position, I can finally see Granny Ren's face clearly.

This is a sallow face full of wrinkles, and the eyes are not open, otherwise Yan Junze can't guarantee whether he will be scared to pee. Those closed eyes, and the squeezed skin between them, seemed to be conveying some kind of unspeakable pain.

Granny Ren's entire body is bent, with her hands clasped tightly in front of her chest. This posture feels very strange to people. If a normal person sleeps, he would not assume such an awkward posture.

No comb in sight.

Yan Junze looked it over carefully, and if it was just the way it was now, there was indeed no comb on Granny Ren.

At this moment, he remembered the note in the mission: Granny Ren is not dumb.

She is not dumb, but she is already a dead person, can a dead person still speak?

Yan Junze shook his head, remained silent for a moment, and finally couldn't help but said: "Grandma Ren, I'm going to comb your hair now so that you can leave here with peace of mind. Excuse me, where is the comb at home?"

After the words fell, the room fell into silence again, without any abnormal reaction.

Yan Junze waited, then cleared his throat again, and said, "I want to help you, there is no other meaning. Comb your hair earlier, and I can notify your family members earlier, and you can see your grandson Yu as soon as possible." Xiao Chang."

This time the words just fell.

Lying on the bed, Granny Ren, whose limbs had long been stiff, suddenly twitched her face slightly, her mouth slowly opened, and a series of sounds like the door opening of a house in disrepair came out from her throat~IndoMTL.com~ah Ahh..."

It's like a mute who suddenly opened his mouth, wanting to make a sound, wanting to speak.

Yan Junze's heartbeat accelerated, but he still held back his fear and leaned forward slightly.

He had to hear what Granny Ren was saying.

"This...in."

Although the voice was very indistinct, the voice from Granny Ren's mouth was extremely slow, and Yan Junze could barely distinguish it.

"Here? Where is it?" Yan Junze tilted his head, his eyes fell on the hands of Granny Ren's chest.

After saying two words, Granny Ren stopped making any movements, and her body became stiff again.

Yan Junze hesitated for a moment, stretched out two hands, grasped the cold hands that Granny Ren was encircling each other, tried to use some strength, and opened her arms without much effort.

Immediately, Yan Junze's complexion changed, and he backed up with an "ah", and almost fell to the ground.

On Granny Ren's chest, an old red comb was just inserted into the heart. dry up.

This cannot be inserted by Granny Ren herself after her death.

She did not die a natural death, but an accident, or murder!

Yan Junze's heartbeat became even more violent, and he said, "Fortunately, I took a video of the whole process, otherwise I would not be able to clean up after jumping into the Yellow River! Netizens can see that Granny Ren died at home unnaturally, and I am just helping her now. .”

As for why a comb was inserted into Granny Ren's heart, Yan Junze is not a detective, and he has no time to care about it now.

What he cares about is to complete the task of [combing hair] immediately, and then call the police to inform Granny Ren's family to come over.
