Chapter 429: Chapter 321: Takeout (Part 5) (Vote for monthly ticket!)

Yan Junze and Xiang Er packed their things but Yan Junze didn’t plan to check out of the hotel; in case they couldn’t complete the task today, they might need to stay another day.

After drinking a small bag of pig’s blood that he usually prepared, Yan Junze and Xiang Er left the room.

On the way, he took out his cellphone again to check the addresses He Yun had sent, besides Sun Changbiao’s house which could be ignored for now, it was necessary to visit the others.

Yan Junze made a choice to start from the family closest to them.

According to the map, the Guo family was 1.1 kilometers away from their location.

When they arrived at the bus station, a bus came by, and after they checked its route, they found out it passed through the Guo family’s neighborhood, so they got on directly.

...

They rode for one stop and found the Guo family’s home upon getting off at the second stop.

An elderly person, hard of hearing and with a heavy local accent, opened the door. Yan Junze explained the reason for their visit, but there was obvious communication difficulty.

Then the elderly person shakily took out an old cell phone, pressed a speed dial button, dialed a series of family contact numbers, and after getting through, handed the phone to Yan Junze.

Upon asking, Yan Junze found out that the person on the other end of the phone was the old man’s grandson who had just turned 18.

“Is it the Exorcist?” the boy’s voice quivered with excitement.

“Yes,” Yan Junze nodded, frankly stating, “We have come to understand the situation first, not to immediately resolve the strangenesses; you start by telling us what is going on at home.”

“Every night at two o’clock, without fail, there will be this very crisp knocking sound, like monks hitting a wooden fish in a temple. My father and I have looked everywhere, but we haven’t found anything,” said the boy, speaking quickly yet very clearly.

“Does anyone in the household have any abnormalities?” Yan Junze asked.

“No,” the boy replied, “During the day everything is normal, but at night these strange noises appear, disturbing the whole family to the point of being unable to sleep. We even stayed in a hotel nearby for a night, but it was no use; at exactly midnight, the sound would also start in the hotel room, but still, we couldn’t find the cause.”

While he was explaining, Yan Junze had already read through the task prompts that had popped up in his mind upon entering the Guo family’s home. He said directly, “I won’t remove this strangeness today because it’s not just your family that’s experiencing this. I will eliminate the root of all this as quickly as possible.”

The person on the phone didn’t speak, he just listened carefully.

“Now, do as I say,” Yan Junze continued, “Buy a copy of the Ksitigarbha Sutra and every night before going to sleep, recite it twice in the southeast corner of your room. Remember, recite it twice every night before you can go to sleep.”

“You, you use Buddhism to eliminate strangeness?” the boy said in surprise.

From what he knew, nowadays these strangenesses did not respond to Buddhist or Taoist practices, but now Yan Junze was clearly telling him to use the methods of Buddhism to eliminate the strangeness, which was obviously contrary to the traditional ways of handling such phenomena.

Yan Junze chuckled, “This has nothing to do with using Buddhism to exorcise strangenesses. It’s that the spirit that’s attached to you all was a faithful Buddhist in life, resilent in reciting the Ksitigarbha Sutra twice daily. Otherwise, you all will be plagued by his knocking on the wooden fish.”

“I see,” the boy said, suddenly enlightened, “So if we recite it a few more times, will he leave us?”

Yan Junze shook his head, “Of course not, this is just a temporary method. When I remove the root cause, then the problem will be truly solved. On the day when the strangeness occurred, did your family eat a takeout meal?”

“Yes, I ordered a box of fried rice for myself. When it arrived, I thought it was just that. But when I opened the takeout box, it turned out to be bacon baked rice. It was quite delicious, though,” the boy replied.

Yan Junze turned to look at Xiang Er, who, being confined all year round, obviously didn’t know what food this was.

“Do you remember what the delivery person looked like?” Yan Junze asked the boy.

“Tall and skinny, I can’t remember what he looked like anymore,” the boy said.

“Well, we’ve got all the information we need for now. I’ve already told you how to temporarily stop the strangeness; tell your family to wait for our news,” Yan Junze hung up the phone and returned the old cell phone to the old man.

After leaving the Guo home, Yan Junze asked Xiang Er, “Have you noticed any commonality?”

Xiang Er, perplexed, shook her head.

Yan Junze counted on his fingers, “The takeout includes pizza, pasta, bacon baked rice. This means that, as far as we can see, it’s all Western food.”

Xiang Er thoughtfully said, “This means that the person pretending to deliver takeout might be best at making Western food.”

“Did this guy get his head stuck in a door jam? Using a special method to attach spirits to the takeout, and after people eat it, immediately they’re plagued by strangeness; what exactly is he after?” Yan Junze mumbled to himself.

Xiang Er suggested, “Could these people be raising spirits?”

Yan Junze shook his head, “Raising spirits is for one’s own benefit. After these strangenesses attach to innocent people, we haven’t seen them approach these people to bargain or seek benefits before resolving the issue.”

“So what exactly is it for?” Xiang Er frowned slightly.

Yan Junze looked down at the phone message, “Let’s go, visit another family. For the other, more distant families, I will directly contact them by phone, clarify these key points, and then we should be able to find the delivery person based on this information.”

The Cai Family was closer to the Guo family.

This time Yan Junze called in advance; the three members of the Cai Family were all at home and hadn’t gone anywhere.

From their tone, it seemed the strangeness were causing more severe disturbances in this family, as the head of the family, Cai Yongheng, spoke tremblingly.
