Book 1: Chapter 117
I had heard of this kind of situation before. It was called thunder possession in the Northeast. It was said that when the thunder was especially loud, wandering ghosts couldnt stay outside and had to hide with people. There were many folk tales in the Northeast about parents coming home on the day it thundered and sitting motionless in their chairs. Once the thunder passed, they suddenly came to their senses. These were good spirits who weren't willing to disturb the living, but the thunder outside was so loud and dangerous that they had to borrow those parents' bodies to hide for a while.
At that time, Uncle Three felt that Yang Daguang was suffering from thunder possession. But he had never been afraid of these kinds of things, so he tied Yang Daguang up and threw him back into the tent to play with the spirit.
The thunder boomed for a long time, and Yang Daguang kept talking to Uncle Three in a woman's voice. As Uncle Three listened, he slowly began to feel creeped out. Everything this woman said had all happened to him in that temporary weather station and the village. The woman kept talking like she had witnessed it herself.
After talking about all the things that Uncle Three had experienced, the woman then began talking about the things that happened after Uncle Three left. It turned out that after Uncle Three left, the villagers started to die every time it stormed. Later, the old people were so afraid that they moved out of the village and basically abandoned it.
Shortly after the thunder stopped, Yang Daguang came to his senses. Combined with some of the details he noticed before, Uncle Three realized that Yang Daguang hadnt been thunder possessed. Although Yang Daguang didn't understand the information in the thunder, his spirit seemed to have been affected while listening to it.
I touched my chin. There also seemed to be a missing sentence here. Uncle Three's journal flowed very smoothly, so it didnt take a sensitive person to realize that a sentence was missing.
The information just now didnt constitute a logical explanation for such a bizarre event. Uncle Three had even stated three times that he didnt feel like it was thunder possession. There just wasnt a sufficient reason for it.
But the grammar didnt lie, so it was very possible that this sentence was deleted because Uncle Three didnt think thunder possession was a logical explanation.
I tried to reason it out a little bit. If this incident was worth writing down and showing to me, then it was likely that the situation was as follows:
The leader of the meteorological team was a woman.
And among the words Yang Daguang said at that time, there mustve been some words that only he and the woman knew.
So, was this thunder spirit a woman in the meteorological team?
I didnt believe in things like thunder possession either, so that couldnt be it. This woman's team had the intention and custom of connecting their ashes with lightning in order to merge themselves with thunder.
So, was this woman dead? Her colleagues said she was.
Moreover, she really had connected with the thunder.
Her consciousness had even communicated with Uncle Three through Yang Daguang and the thunder.
If that was the case, then this description could really be regarded as an unusual encounter; otherwise, why record it?
But why delete the key information?
Uncle Three wasnt good at texting, so I couldnt imagine him typing up so many journal entries himself. Someone mustve typed it out for him and Uncle Three was trying to prevent them from seeing these key messages.
I scrubbed my face hard, feeling as if it was all oily. At that moment, I found that my old perception was starting return.
The first possibility was that this information was very important, and Uncle Three didn't want it to be revealed when he dictated it. As a result, he left out the key information.
The second possibility was that the typist saw this piece of information and deliberately left it out. But if Uncle Three checked it afterwards, then he would definitely notice, so this one was unlikely.
The third possibility really brought my perception back.
It was a woman who was helping Uncle Three type the journal entries. Uncle Three was worried that she would be jealous when she heard of his previous love story with another woman.
But the old guy was getting older, so even if he really did find a young girl willing to listen to his story, she probably wouldnt be jealous.
Unless Chen Wen-Jin had also been there when Uncle Three was in the village at that time. Even now, Chen Wen-Jin couldnt know what Uncle Three and the female leader of the meteorological team did together.
So, Uncle Three was with Chen Wen-Jin when creating these journal entries.
I cracked my neck and recalled my whole process of analysis just now. There was no evidence to support it, but why did I think that I was so accurate?
