Gu Chen followed the old lady to her house.

To be honest, compared to the buildings in the city, the houses in Liucun are more like homestays.

Not to mention spacious, there are still few people.

Gu Chen learned from the old lady that it turned out that the old lady's children had long since stopped living here, and they only returned home every Spring Festival.

Moreover, every year, the villagers of Liucun will make use of their rural characteristics to develop the rural tourism economy and receive many tourists who come to visit.

There are the most quaint buildings, the best delicious pollution-free vegetables, and spacious and clean rooms.

Nowadays, the rumors are rampant, and people in Meishan Town are panicking, and everyone likes to define unexplained things as gods and ghosts.

Especially the older generation in rural areas, especially believes.

Since the depression in Liucun, a large number of young and middle-aged people have been lost, and the income of the villagers has also plummeted, and everyone has lost hope.

"Young man, there are a few houses here, you can pick up and live in yourself, and they are all quite clean. The old woman hunched over and introduced the room to a few people.

Officer Wang next to him said: "I heard that Liucun has beautiful mountains and rivers before, and the homestay is also extraordinary, but I didn't expect that it is better to see than to hear, it is true." ”

The old lady waved her hand: "I have bad ears and I can't understand what you're saying." ”

Lu Weiwei on the side laughed and said, "Lao Wang, people's grandmothers can't understand your crepe things, can you be a little more grounded?"

"Down-to-earth?" Officer Wang was stunned for a moment, then stretched out his hand and said, "You can do it, you can come." ”

Lu Weiwei immediately lowered her head, put her hands on the old grandmother's shoulders, and whispered into her ear: "Grandma, thank you, you are so good." ”

"Good, good. The old grandmother was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Since the haunted things began to occur half a year ago, we don't have any people from other villages living here, you should be the last batch, you live comfortably, grandma is happy." ”

"Thank you grandma. After Lu Weiwei finished speaking, she didn't forget to put on her grandmother's wrinkled face...... A slight peck.

Now the grandmother was even happier, and immediately said that she would prepare the ingredients for dinner for everyone.

Officer Wang said that he was shocked, he didn't expect this to be okay? Sure enough, with Lu Weiwei, it was easy to break into the interior of the villagers.

There were two rooms, Gu Chen and Officer Wang asked for a large one, and Lu Weiwei's room was at the opposite door.

After everyone put their luggage away, they carried the sketchpad paint and the camera on their backs, and prepared to go out to go around Liucun.

The villagers looked at the three of them and didn't pay much attention to them, which was very common in Liucun before.

When there are a lot of people, there are hundreds of people who come at one time, and it was lively at that time, but it was not as deserted as it is now.

At that time, the villagers sat in front of their homes every day, and just collecting some room and board fees was enough for their own expenses.

This model has also attracted many villages to imitate it, but most of them have failed.

The rural tourism economy of Liucun has not only not decreased, but has increased a lot, which has made the villagers of Liucun taste the sweetness.

Night crept in.

With the help of Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei, the old lady made a table of dishes, and she felt happier than the New Year, it was rare to have so many people to accompany her.

During the meal, the old lady desperately served Gu Chen with vegetables, praising Gu Chen for being as handsome as her son was when he was young, which made Gu Chen embarrassed.

When the family had reached a certain point, Gu Chen suddenly asked about the situation in the afternoon: "Grandma, in the square in the afternoon, are the symptoms of dizziness, nausea or vomiting that you said true? Or are there only a few people like this?"

The old grandmother put down her chopsticks, and at the same time lowered her head and pondered for a moment: "The whole village has reacted to this matter, just like me." ”

"You?" Lu Weiwei's eyes widened, expressing shock: "You have such a good body, do you also have this symptom?"

At this moment, Officer Wang hurriedly took out a pen and paper and put it on his lap, ready to record some key clues.

"One evening when I went to the mountains to pick some wild fruits, I suddenly heard a terrible and shrill scream from a long distance, which was strange and terrifying. ”

"Did it come from someone?" Gu Chen asked.

The old lady frowned: "I don't know about this, anyway, this terrifying sound echoed throughout the empty valley, and many people heard it." ”

Speaking of this, the old lady also specially raised her legs, swept her trouser legs to her knees, and said: "You see, the injury on this foot is that when I went down the mountain that day, I suddenly felt that the whole mountain road was up and down, and I felt that the road was shaking. ”

Lu Weiwei and Gu Chen, through the light, can clearly see the old lady's calf, and the scar with stitches.

"You mean...... Do you feel like you're shaking when you walk, and you don't have a sense of balance?" asked Officer Wang, who sat across from him.

"Yes, and a little dizzy, I'm sick when I get home. The old lady said this, and she still had palpitations.

"Do other people in the village have this symptom?" Officer Wang asked, "like the people who chatted with us in the square in the afternoon." ”

The old lady nodded: "Yes, everyone feels that their health is suddenly not as good as before, and several old people died during that time." ”

After thinking about it, the old lady said again: "By the way, there are always some animal carcasses around inexplicably, this is an ominous sign, our village was built here, although it is only a hundred years old, there has never been such a thing." ”

"There is also the big willow tree across the river, which has been undertaking the mission of crossing the river in our village, and our older generation calls it a sacred tree, and it is also a blessed tree, but I don't know which people with ulterior motives say that it is a ghost tree, saying that our village is a piece of yin land, alas!"

Speaking of this, the old lady also sighed powerlessly, feeling like something pressed against her chest.

Gu Chen got up and looked at the window, and after finding that there was no one around, he walked back to the old lady and asked, "Is the ancient temple in the village really a forbidden place?

"I don't know. The old lady had no way to say anything, so she could only say in a persuasive tone: "In short, it's best not to go over there, although I don't know the situation, but the miserable screams that will come out in the middle of the night every once in a while come from that side, and now that there is a forbidden area, our own villagers have to take a detour." ”

"Understood. ”

Gu Chen didn't ask any more......

But it is certain that the haunting of Liucun, as well as the various symptoms of these villagers, seem to have something to do with the ancient temple.

At the same time, in order to reassure the old man, Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei also specially said that they would not go anywhere at night, and chatted with the old man until they coaxed her to sleep, and when they looked at the time, it was already eleven o'clock in the evening, and they went back to their rooms.

In the early hours of the morning, a terrible and sharp scream suddenly came from afar, echoing throughout the empty valley.

All the villagers were afraid to go out with their doors closed.

Gu Chen and Officer Wang opened the window and confirmed that the source of the sound was from the direction of the ancient temple.

"Is there really a ghost?" Officer Wang couldn't help but shrink his neck.

This kind of voice, not to mention ordinary people, even police officers like themselves who have seen big scenes will have a creepy feeling when they hear it.

After all, the hair on your body doesn't lie......

"It seems really weird. Gu Chen looked back at Officer Wang and asked, "Are you going?"

After swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Officer Wang said, "Go...... Go for it!"

"Then I'll call Senior Sister Lu. Gu Chen immediately turned around, gently opened the door, and walked towards Lu Weiwei's room.

In order to cooperate with everyone's contact, the rooms of the two parties were unlocked, and when Gu Chen gently pushed the door in, Lu Weiwei was already sorting out the equipment.

Seeing Gu Chen coming over, he also asked, "Senior Brother Gu, how are you preparing?"

"We're ready to go, Senior Brother Wang asked me to come and call you, let's leave now. Gu Chen said.

Three minutes later......

The three people brought simple equipment, and three of them brought a fully charged law enforcement recorder, which is the key equipment for forensics.

Also included is a flashlight, a multi-functional police flashlight that can make people dizzy or blind in less than a second.

The blinding time can last for one minute, and there is an attack head in the anterior segment, which has the effect of attacking pain and subduing.

For this investigation, Gu Chen also took a bottle of energy drink by going to the toilet to keep himself energetic.

At this moment, for Gu Chen, he can react to any unexpected situation as quickly as possible.

For the three of them, various situations are still unknown, and the risk factor can be imagined.

It didn't take long for the miserable screams to die down and everything was calm again.

In the room, Officer Wang's mind was now full of ghosts......

The terrible scream just now is even more terrifying than the BGM in a horror movie.

Especially with the reverberation of the valley, it feels as if this kind of dirty thing is all around you.

Then he glanced at Lu Weiwei, this girl also looked a little timid, so he was relieved, at least he was not the most cowardly.

"Senior Brother Wang, are you leaving?" Gu Chen asked after observing by the window for a while.

"Let's go...... Let's go, everyone follow me, stay safe. ”

"Okay!"

A few people quietly pushed open the door and walked through the dead and empty village, with the help of the faint moonlight, towards the direction of the ancient temple.

In less than two kilometers, everyone seemed to have walked a long way, and their legs were like a piece of iron tied to them, which was unusually heavy.

Everyone is extremely nervous in their hearts, although they don't show it, it doesn't mean that they are not afraid.

What makes the three of them stay awake in the middle of the night and come to such a haunted place to find out?

Is it love, is it responsibility?

That's right, yes.

Isn't it the responsibility of the police to be responsible for people's lives and property?

With this sense of mission, what is fear, and what is exhaustion?

Officer Wang has been arming his fears with these thoughts so that he can appear stronger and bolder.

He was the first of the three......

There is no way, because Officer Wang is the only police inspector among the three.

When out of dangerous tasks, young policemen follow behind the old comrades, and if there is danger, the old comrades go first, this is the unwritten rule of the police force, and everyone also acquiesces to this rule.

When the moonlight is obscured by dark clouds, the surrounding light becomes even darker.

The prototype of the ancient temple in front of him was getting closer and closer in front of the three of them.

Officer Wang abruptly stopped moving forward and turned on the flashlight.

Suddenly, a seriously damaged ancient temple stood in front of the three of them.

Before the ruined temple, the ground was covered with broken tiles.

A stone statue of an old man wearing a cloak and a hat, with his head bowed as if he was contemplating something.

Behind him was a giant unicorn, glaring ahead.

The two stone statues are covered in moss, and there is a smell of decay around them.

"It is said that this kind of herdsman has gone down the mountain to save many people, and I heard a classmate in the southwest say it before, but the details are not clear. Gu Chen looked at the stone statue in front of him, and also said something he knew.

"Maybe it's not suitable for cultivation right now, so these people are all gone, living in seclusion in the mountains?" Lu Weiwei also answered casually, in order to break the shackles of fear.

Gu Chen smiled: "Some things do exist, but now the society is developing too fast, so that those things that should exist slowly disappear from the eyes of the public." ”

Officer Wang looked at the old man and the unicorn in front of him, and couldn't help laughing: "Slipping the unicorn? ”

"Lao Wang. Lu Weiwei glared at him and said: "You can not believe it, but you must be in awe, after all, legends are also a cultural embodiment." ”

Officer Wang doesn't care about any culture or non-culture now, he just wants to quickly find out the truth about the haunting of Liucun.

Standing in front of the gloomy building, the three of them looked at each other, all trying to adjust their condition.

Gu Chen put on white gloves and turned on the law enforcement recorder, but he inexplicably had a sense of ritual of filming ghost movies, and felt that the painting style was a little crooked.

A movement at Lu Weiwei's feet suddenly broke the deadlock.

"What is this?"

"Wait, don't move. Gu Chen shone the light over, squatted down to check, and then picked up a few broken bones.

"Human bones?" asked Officer Wang.

"It's not. Gu Chen shook his head: "It should be a small animal in the mountains." ”

"There are a lot of dead rats here. Lu Weiwei found another corner of the wall, littered with dead mouse corpses.

"No wonder, the smell of rot in the air just now turned out to be emitted by these things. Gu Chen covered his nose with his arm, feeling a taste of gagging.

A dark wind blew, and the dry leaves began to flutter in the wind.

The trees around the ancient temple also began to sway in the wind......

Several crows croaked in the treetops overhead, as if sensing that an enemy had entered their territory as a warning.

"Don't worry, there's nothing to be afraid of. Officer Wang was protecting the two of them, he knew that with Gu Chen and Lu Weiwei behind him, he was still down-to-earth.

"Old Wang, but your legs are shaking. Lu Weiwei pierced Lao Wang's feigned composure.

"Well, it's just a normal reaction, the muscles are stimulated to a certain extent, and there is no way to control it. "Lao Wang is also a decent person, but Lu Weiwei doesn't think so.

Officer Wang regretted it a little now, so dignified, why did Gu Chen talk about those ancient myths just now, making it the same as the real thing, weird and scary.

But the three of them must find clues to the haunting in a very short time, otherwise it will not appear as the villagers say.

What vomiting, dizziness, and even delirium, no one can say for sure now.

After all, these are really confirmed by local elders......

After Gu Chen looked around, he said hesitantly: "The sound we heard in the room in Liucun just now should be from this place, it seems to be a woman's crying. ”

"I think so, too, I feel that the sound is too miserable, a little hysterical. Lu Weiwei clasped her hands to her chest and thought very seriously.

Every brick and tile here is dilapidated, and the walls and stone statues are also covered with moss.

Rotting small animal carcasses are everywhere.

Further inside, the gloomy hall was filled with thick dust and cobwebs everywhere.

The three of them formed an inverted triangle formation and conducted a carpet search of each room of the ancient temple.

Gu Chen even turned on his specialization-level observation, and with the assistance of functional drinks, the whole person's spirit is now completely in a state of excitement.

While searching a room, Gu Chen suddenly stopped, and Officer Wang had no flank cover, so he immediately retreated to Gu Chen's side and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

"There seem to be a lot of footprints here, and it's the same person. Gu Chen simply squatted down and irradiated the flashlight vertically.

In the thick dust, a noticeable footprint, looks very obvious.

"Size 44 shoes, they should be men. Gu Chen used his hand as a measuring stick and measured it briefly and roughly.

Officer Wang and Lu Weiwei also stepped forward, and the three of them studied it carefully.

"Look at these footprints, it seems to be new. After pondering for a few seconds, Officer Wang asked, "You say, could that terrifying sound just now be artificial?"

"Most likely, what do you think?Senior Brother Gu?" Lu Weiwei set her eyes on Gu Chen.

Gu Chen didn't answer immediately, but made a simple comparison and verification of the footprints before saying: "According to the environment here, the dust will have a solidification phenomenon after a certain period of precipitation, and judging from this footprint, it seems that it was stepped on not long ago." ”

In order to dispel the concerns of the two, Gu Chen also specially stepped on his footprints in a casual manner.

"You see, the depth and shape of my footprints are about the same as the state of this footprint. ”

"Does this mean that it won't be long?" Officer Wang made his own judgment.

"And...... Maybe someone stayed here when that sound came out. Lu Weiwei judged in disbelief: "Didn't the people in the village say that this is a forbidden place, there will be danger, so why do people come here in the middle of the night?"

Lu Weiwei is not only not scared now, but also feels quite excited.

"In the case of night, it is difficult to deal with the footprints in general, and I think this person should have left not long ago. Gu Chen pondered for a few seconds, and then said: "Our landlord said that this kind of voice will happen once in a while, and generally people from other villages will come in once, so these people don't dare to come to Liu Village." ”

"In other words, someone is doing tricks and tricks to scare these outsiders?" Officer Wang said: "But it's not right, since it's a scare, then why are the villagers afraid to get close to the ancient temple, Gu Chen, do you remember those things you said?"

"Of course I do. Gu Chen nodded and said, "The old lady who sells vegetables, her wife began to have some bad symptoms because of farming near the ancient temple, and finally left, and many villagers can prove that they have also experienced a decline in physical fitness, and even dizziness, especially the elderly, who can't stand it." ”

"His heart is punishable!" Officer Wang gritted his teeth and said, "If all this is really man-made, then this guy should be cut with a thousand knives." ”

Just when Officer Wang was beeping blindly into the air, Gu Chen's own visual cutting (elementary) skill had made a new discovery.
