The material was different from today's printed photos, with lace at the edges. I'd seen it in a photo album at home.

When he compared the photos of Zhang Xiaomei's phone, he found that even the black mole on his face looked exactly the same. As for the man beside her …

When he saw this photo, he finally understood the strangeness of what Lin Xiaole and the others were talking about. This man truly didn't look like a normal person.

After letting Lin Xiaole leave first, I took the photo back to look for Wu Ji and Ding Li.

Seeing this picture, Ding Li couldn't help but curse out loud.

As for Wu Ji, the center of his brows slightly knitted. With just a glance, he was certain that the man in the photo was indeed not a living person.

Because of the great difference between a dead person and a living person, it can be seen at a glance from many minor details. Moreover, it is impossible for a living person to be completely confused with a dead person in disguise, or a dead person in disguise.

Furthermore, Wu Ji had seen a lot of people die, so he was very sure of that with one look.

"This is a picture of a retro, if not, it would appear to be at least ten years old. At that time, Zhang Xiaomei was only just a few years old." Ding Li stared at the photo and said.

I fiddled with the photo for a while. "Whether it's really an old photo or a retro one, I should be able to tell by looking for a master at an old photo studio."

Ding Li and Wu Ji were also in favour, we immediately paid the bill and left the restaurant, and walked towards an old street. That place was the oldest street in the city, and there were even some hundred year old shops.

We walked along the old street for more than half an hour until we finally saw an old photographic shop. The door was old, with a layer of dust on the glass that seemed to have been there for years, and an old man in his sixties or seventies was sitting by the door, smoking a pipe.

With the mindset of trying it out, we went up and asked if the old man could tell whether the picture was an old one or a real one.

When the old man heard this, he immediately said we found the right person. His father passed down this photo studio to him, but it's not doing well now. Young people like to follow the trend, so it won't be long before it closes.

The old man took the photo from me. He looked at the name of the studio on the back of the photo, then looked at the front.

But as soon as I saw who it was, I shoved it back into my hand. "Where did you get this stuff?"

The grandpa's actions made us wonder. I said that the photo was my friend's and wanted to make sure whether it was an old photo or a real one. I asked him if there was any problem.

The grandpa sat up a little and impatiently waved his hand at us. "Bring me this, it's bad luck! "Let's go, let's go!"

Suddenly, a 180 degree change occurred. A moment ago, they were still talking with us. In the blink of an eye, they treated us like gods from the moment they saw the pictures!

Just as Ding Li and I were in a daze, Wu Ji walked over and asked the old man if he had seen this kind of photo before.

The old man swept Wu Ji with his eyes, probably finding him rather pleasing to the eye, and did not rush Ding Li and I over. Instead, he pulled his face back and sighed, "I have not seen this kind of thing in many years."

"What's wrong with this picture?" Seeing that the old man had relaxed, Ding Li took the chance to ask.

The grandpa didn't answer right away. He slowly stood up and walked into the studio. The three of us immediately followed.

It had been a long time since the studio had been renovated. There were spots of mildew on the corners of the walls and the smell of old houses. However, they were still very clean even though they had gone back to the old ones.

The grandpa lit up another cigarette and took two long puffs. In the old days, there were some people in the photoshoot profession who were specially used to take pictures of the dead!

At first, neither the living nor the dead were so clear about it. However, the people from the old days were very superstitious and believed that taking pictures of the dead when they were taking pictures would suck in the souls of the dead into the camera, so it was very unlucky.

As a result, a small part of them started taking pictures of the dead. There were all sorts of things about those who were murdered, those who committed suicide, and those who died from illness. As long as they were dead, as long as someone paid, they would take pictures of the dead.

Even now, there were professional wedding photographers. At that time, there were also photographers who took pictures of people who had married to celebrate. However, there were still some who took pictures of the living, while there were some who took pictures of the dead.

When a dead man marries, it is naturally to form a negative relationship, also known as an underworld marriage.

Those who had died before they were married were afraid that they would be left alone in the underworld, so they looked for corpses of the opposite sex of a suitable age and were managed by the First Mister, who would make friends with two dead people, as if they had a wife in the underworld.

But in those days, it was not only the dead and the dead who formed the Yin, but also the living and the dead who formed the Yin.

When you take a picture of a person who is related to the Yin, you can often find strange places in the photo. Sometimes, when you see a corpse, you smile, but the corpse itself doesn't laugh, and there's even a corpse with its eyes closed, only having its eyes open. In short, it's all bad luck, so when the grandpa saw this photo, he immediately threw it back to me.

"This picture is old, not old. It seemed very new, probably only two or three years old. Could it be that there was someone who had formed a relationship with someone these past few years? A living person and a dead person had formed a relationship! "Forget it, I don't want to know about this either. Don't ask me." The grandpa once again ordered them to leave.

After getting the answer we wanted, we didn't bother the grandpa anymore and left after thanking him.

But before we left the house, the grandpa told us that the photos were very strange, so we didn't have much contact with them. It was said that in the photos of the Yin Kindness, there would be souls of the corpses, so we had to throw them away as soon as possible.

When we left the studio, none of us said anything for a moment, because the answer was as surprising as we had expected.

The old man and Wu Ji were sure that the man in the photo was dead, and said that the photo was taken within two to three years. In other words, three years ago, Zhang Xiaomei had actually married a corpse!

I've been with my aunt for a long time, and I've seen all sorts of strange things, but I've never seen any kind of kinship, because this sort of thing isn't popular in our world, and it's rare for anyone to think like this.

However, in such a short period of time, it was unthinkable for a teenage girl to marry a male corpse.

"Brother Wu Ji, you are experienced and knowledgeable, have you ever seen this kind of thing before?" Ding Li asked Wu Ji first.

Wu Ji shallowly shook her head: "I just heard of it."

Wu Ji said, he had previously heard that the Yin Kindness between the dead and the dead was a very common thing in some places, it was not really anything strange, but it was true, the dead and the living were rarely seen.

Earlier, Wu Ji had heard that there were living and dead people who were close, but not only for money, not all of them were alive. Some of them were actually the relatives of the deceased, who took the initiative to seek out the deceased's corpse and form a relationship with them.

"Why are you doing this?" I asked.

"It is said that when one is still alive, they can walk the world of Yin and Yang after forming a Yin bond with the dead." Wu Ji's expression was serious.

Ding Li opened his mouth wide in shock.

I was also quite surprised. "There's such a thing?"

Wu Ji nodded his head, although this living person could walk in the Yin Yang World, when he died, his soul would belong to the dead relatives.

Simply speaking, while he was still alive, he had sold his soul to the dead in order to be able to travel between Yin and Yang while he was still alive.

"This transaction is too much of a loss. Even if we can obtain the ability to teleport Yin and Yang, what use would that be? " I do not quite understand this approach.

Wu Ji did not immediately answer, but focused on thinking about something.

After a while, he suddenly said, "I seem to understand!"

"Understand what?" Ding Li asked curiously.

Wu Ji said that Zhang Xiaomei's Yin Kinfatuation was not something she thought, but something she was forced to do!

When I heard his words, I thought for a while, and suddenly realized what he meant: "It's because of her foster father, Zhang Si!"
