Yuzhi, Xiangyang Road, Building 5, Unit 304, Happiness Community.
As a college student, Gu Sheng's hobbies are obviously a bit niche. At this moment, he is lying on the table, concentrating on writing and drawing on a palm-sized yellow paper. Red paint outlines obscure and complex lines, slowly forming a talisman.
The laptop screen in front is lit up, showing a paused restricted movie, the kind that hot-blooded young people love to watch.
A pair of fair and plump jade legs lie across a traditional wooden bed, completely exposed, with a pair of pure white arms... detached and placed on the nearby table, the woman's head is on the ground, various body parts separated, each with a yellow talisman attached, this is an old-fashioned horror movie that has been banned due to its extreme horror.
Late at night, alone in a rental house, watching a horror movie without turning on the lights.
This kind of behavior is possible because Gu Sheng's background is extraordinary, even to the extent of having a deep family heritage and profound background.
His grandfather is a well-known fortune teller in the surrounding area, and sometimes he also works part-time in exorcism, dispelling evil, presiding over weddings and funerals, mediating family disputes, and catching adulterers for others. His business scope is very wide, and in the eyes of outsiders, the old man is mysterious and unfathomable, proficient in fortune telling, physiognomy, feng shui, and ensuring safe childbirth.
As a family member, Gu Sheng prefers to refer to their profession as "Psychological Counselor." After all, only he knows that in the study of the old master, there are only five or six books about fortune-telling and metaphysical principles, and the rest are either discussions of human affairs by ancient people or modern psychology and criminal investigation. The latest trendy book is an online purchase called "The Art of Speaking."
The renowned Li Banxian from the Li family village is not a master of communicating with the heavens and earth, but rather an artist of communicating with people. He is known for his ability to talk his way through any situation, being three parts honest with people and seven parts deceitful with spirits. Some uninformed individuals may mistake him for a fraud.
However, in Gu Sheng's view, in some remote villages and towns without psychologists, the presence of their profession has saved many people who have encountered "strange occurrences" and have been living in constant anxiety.
"Simple psychological counseling and suggestion are no longer effective. I have to draw a talisman. Xie Xiaoyu's symptoms are a bit severe. Otherwise, should I recommend her to see a regular psychologist?"
Gu Sheng was drawing symbols while muttering to himself with a frown.
The lines on the yellow paper were exactly the same as those in the movie, clearly in the process of Learn and apply.
Although he was influenced from an early age, he did not inherit his father's mantle.
According to the other party, this industry is already outdated and will soon be engulfed by the tide of the times, requiring industrial iteration.
So I sent Gu Sheng to Yuzhi for college, hoping he would become a psychologist.
Unfortunately, the psychology major he applied for required too high of a score, and he was unfortunately rejected and transferred to the finance major.
Strong people never complain about their environment. Gu Sheng found that there are quite a few wealthy people in this profession.
Perhaps influenced by their family, they particularly believe in all sorts of superstitious things. As a result, they have returned to their old profession and have already developed five clients in just one semester.
Recently, a female classmate has been acting even more strangely, claiming that she has encountered a ghost and wanting to invite Gu Sheng to come to her house to take a look.
He asked about the situation. This female classmate goes to the bathroom at night and always feels like there is something staring at her in the mirror. There was even one night when she looked in the mirror and felt more and more like the person in the mirror was not herself.
Gu Sheng then further understood some details.
Asked about the other person's measurements, inner wear, menstrual cycle, and other details, and finally gave a solution: don't remove makeup before going to bed.
The female classmate came back the next day very surprised, directly gave him a 1,200 yuan red envelope, saying that she slept with makeup on at night, and it really worked. She felt that there were more normal people in the mirror.
Gu Sheng thought that things would end here.
But a few days later, the female classmate became increasingly haggard. She found him again and said that the reflection in the mirror was becoming stranger and sometimes even quietly called her name as she passed by.
And one morning, she found lipstick and face cream marks on the mirror, applied to the corresponding positions on the face, as if there was an invisible face in the mirror.
Gu Sheng judged that the other party had suffered a relatively serious stress-induced psychological trauma due to a family tragedy.
This situation may have a certain possibility of secondary somnambulism, also known as sleepwalking, and those cosmetics may have been applied by her during her sleepwalking at night.
He investigated and found that Xie Xiaoyu's parents divorced not long ago due to infidelity. It is said that during the confrontation at the scene of the affair, the third party hid by climbing out of the window, and an accident occurred.
He speculated whether the other person had seen a terrifying scene, and then continuously self-suggested upon returning home, resulting in a mental disorder.
This time, Gu Sheng used the knowledge learned in psychology elective classes and some previous experiences taught by the old man to conduct a simple psychological counseling for the other person.
Her condition seems to have improved a bit. But the next day, Xie Xiaoyu dropped out of school directly. Before leaving, she grabbed Gu Sheng's hand as if grasping at a lifeline, asking him to save her. She said she must have encountered a ghost and that Taoist priests can draw symbols to ward off evil spirits, so she asked him to draw one for her.
As the old man's assistant, I have witnessed numerous exorcisms and understand that they are all just tricks to deceive people. Gu Sheng is a staunch materialist, so he didn't think much about it. He just felt that the other party was urgently seeking some kind of psychological comfort, so he decided to draw a few talismans for her based on the ones in the movie, to give to her next time.
Carefully dipping the brush in red watercolor, it moves cautiously on the yellow paper, and it looks like a talisman is about to be completed.
"Tap, tap, tap."
In the quiet late night, a sudden footsteps startled Gu Sheng, causing his hand to shake, and the pen tip to veer off, dragging a long line across the previously drawn area.
"Pah!"
The brush slapped on the table.
"Isn't this over yet?"
Gu Sheng looked up at the ceiling, feeling a bit unable to bear it.
It's 2 am now, and the reason I'm still up and not sleeping is all because of the neighbor upstairs.
I don't know what they are doing so late at night, constantly making noise.
Sometimes it's like dense drumbeats, and sometimes it's a dull "thud thud thud," accompanied by constantly increasing and decreasing distances, just like dancing ballet on Gu Sheng's head.
Having changed to a young person who has never been in society, one can only endure it.
But who is Gu Sheng? He's been following the old man since he was young, deceiving and guiding others everywhere! I'm afraid he can't handle ghosts.
But when dealing with arrogant and evil people, he still has experience!
So at twelve o'clock, he had already gone upstairs once and found that the girl upstairs was quite pretty, and seemed to be a college student renting a room just like himself.
He explained his purpose for coming, and the other party was also very polite. However, it's strange that she refused to admit that she made the noise and even invited Gu Sheng to come in and see for himself. She claimed to be the only person in the house and was just watching a movie with headphones on.
Late at night, a man and a woman alone.
Gu Sheng immediately became alert and refused to go in no matter what.
In the end, he just gave a warning, hoping that the girl wouldn't mess around anymore, or else no one would be able to sleep tonight.
After that.
The upstairs was indeed quiet, but only for an hour.
At one point, Gu Sheng went up again, this time he didn't have a good expression on his face, and he knocked on the door without any fear of making a scene.
The girl was also a little angry after opening the door, asking him if he had to pick a fight for no reason late at night.
Both of them were about to start arguing, but when they heard Gu Sheng say that the footsteps upstairs sounded like ballet dancing, the girl seemed to suddenly realize something and her face turned somewhat pale.
She restrained her arrogance. First, she apologized, and then added Gu Sheng on WeChat, saying that if she heard the voice again, she would call to confirm with her.
At this moment, Gu Sheng also took out her phone and dialed the person's number. The footsteps upstairs suddenly stopped.
Hmph!
Gu Sheng sneered coldly.
Sure enough, the person opposite was lying, so he was not polite.
"Song, you're working so hard? Practicing dancing during the day isn't enough, you want to learn Kuang Heng at night?"
On the other side, there was silence at first. Then came some slightly heavier breathing.
The woman's voice seems to be trembling!
"No way!"
"I've been lying in bed without moving at all, and you really... heard footsteps?"
At these words.
Gu Sheng just frowned slightly.
"Do you still want to be stubborn? Do you want me to find the landlord?"
Just as the voice fell silent, there came the hurried footsteps "tata" from upstairs, followed by the creaking sound of the door opening.
After a moment.
The door of Gu Sheng was knocked.
