Further down, in the middle of the diary are several sketches, all depicting the owner's bedroom. It was raining outside the window, and the room was neatly arranged with ordinary things such as a sofa, a desk, a bottle of daffodils by the window, and so on.

Li Yifan looked at it carefully, and didn't understand why the owner of the diary abruptly drew this ordinary picture in the diary.

Tingting's crisp and melodious voice sounded again, and she softened her tone as much as she could, so as not to scare others and herself again.

"On June 8, I never saw Miss Xu again. She may indeed be a ghost in human skin, but I'd rather call her that.

In addition to me, there seemed to be a few charcoal sellers in the village, and they had also seen Miss Xu. Surprisingly, not too many people panicked.

Life has always been very difficult, prices are soaring, people are not making a living, and there are some bandits that appear every now and then, and everyone has too many things to worry about.

In this border village and town, even if there are terrifying things, they are probably not worth the horror of the lack of firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea.

Recently, some terrifying rumors have begun to rise in the village.

I study folklore, and I know very well that there are some ancient, weird rumors in every place. But here in Beilu Mountain, it is different, and rumors that have been made out of nothing have suddenly spread. It's obviously a man-made rumor, which is somewhat unreasonable.

I was convinced in my heart that it must have something to do with those strange outsiders, although I had no proof. What the hell are those people for, and what are they here for? No one seems to care but me......

There is a rumor that there are shadow people in the village, and many people have described the monster in vivid words, but everyone has described it differently. Some say like a man, some say like a ghost, and some say like a beast. But without exception, it is seen at night.

A few days ago, when I went to the street to buy vegetables, I saw Mrs. Wang at the vegetable stall teaching her son a dead lesson. Mrs. Wang has a bad temper, but she loves her only son very much, not to mention beating him, and she has never even said anything serious to her son.

So, I wondered what trouble his son had caused, so I stood by and inquired.

Unexpectedly, the reason for teaching the child was that he didn't close the window when he slept at night!

To my surprise, when Mrs. Wang saw that I didn't leave after buying vegetables, she drove me away in disgust, as if she were driving away a plague god......

Reading this, Tingting's hands were slightly sore because she had been holding the diary for a long time. One accidentally dropped the diary to the ground.

In the exclamation of everyone, she hurriedly squatted down to pick it up. When I picked it up, I found that the diary, which had been a little weathered, had been rubbed off several pages.

She turned to the article on June 8 just now, and most of it was damaged, and the content recorded in the back could no longer be read.

Tingting smiled embarrassedly at everyone, seeing that no one blamed her. Holding the diary, he planned to read it on.

"Come on me!"

Shen Xue opened her mouth and was about to volunteer to take over the diary in the other party's hand and let her girlfriend rest. Unexpectedly, one hand took the lead in taking the diary.

It was Li Yifan. He smiled at a few people and said, "I'm in good shape. You won't get tired of holding things for a long time. ”

Shen Xue and Tingting glanced at him gratefully, and he continued to read.

"On June 11, I heard that several people had died in the village, apparently from a heart attack.

When I went down to buy groceries today, everyone avoided me like a ghost. I don't know why......

On the way up the mountain, I met a woodcutter I knew. I greeted him, but he stopped talking, pretended not to see the ground, turned around and left.

When I was about to get home, the woodcutter caught up with me again and whispered to me that there was a ghost in the house where I lived. After saying that, he ran away as if he was fleeing, as if he had seen something terrifying.

I was scared and wanted to move out, but I didn't have any extra money.

I thought to myself. Perhaps, they discussed it, played a prank together, and made up a story to play tricks on me? But that's all I can think about right now.

I comforted myself that I had read a few books of sages and had studied abroad. Don't be intimidated by these fabricated urban weirdos.

Besides, I haven't done anything immoral on weekdays, and I don't have to worry about it in the middle of the night, for fear that ghosts will come to my door.

......”

Further down, there is a series of sketches.

The paintings are still prosaic still life sketches and heavy rain outside the window. The crowd looked at it a little and didn't understand what these paintings meant.

After the sketch, it's some crazy talk that has no viewing value.

It's the kind of babbling that patients with persecution paranoia usually have.

For example, if you are being targeted, who wants to harm yourself, etc., there is no viewing value at all. Judging from the other party's records, the owner of the diary should have gone crazy.

Li Yifan closed the diary and thought about the intelligence information in it.

"Let's go back!" Chen Ming was frightened enough by the diary, and urged repeatedly.

By this time, it was almost evening, and the light had dimmed completely.

No matter how bold Tingting is, she doesn't dare to spend the night here. She also said: "Ah Xue, let's go back! If we don't go back, it will be dark!"

Shen Xue looked at Li Yifan silently.

The latter smiled, "You guys go back quickly." It's not safe to go down the mountain after dark!"

"What about you?"

"I'll spend the night here tonight", Li Yifan is a master of art and bold. He was determined to find out what was special about this house. There was a feeling in the dark that this house could bring him some adventures.

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked.

Chen Ming was so shocked that his jaw couldn't close together, stretched out his thumb, and said, "There's a kind of buddy!

Tingting thought that he didn't think it was a big deal to see the excitement, so she twisted the other party's arm fiercely, ignored the other party's screams, and persuaded: "This place is indeed very evil, come down the mountain with us!" If you want to see the house, don't be in a hurry at this time, the coming day will be long, and some will be ......."

"Time!

These two words kept flashing in Li Yifan's mind, and he suddenly remembered something, ignoring the words of the other three people. I quickly opened the old diary.

Sure enough, those sketches all had one thing in common. All were drawn on a rainy day.

Seeing that Li Yifan seemed to have found some clues, everyone's curiosity was aroused again, and they all went up, and the matter of going down the mountain was temporarily left behind by them.

Li Yifan once again compared the details that might have been overlooked in these sketches, and carefully flipped through them.

Shen Xue suddenly found an anomaly, pointed to one of the sketches, and shouted, "Look, is there a strange shadow here?"

The four of them followed his fingers. Sure enough, I thought that the shadow was used for lighting in the sketch, but after a closer look, I realized that something was wrong.

A total of about a dozen sketches. The shadow did seem to have been used as a background color at first. But if you look at it together, the further you go to the back, the more weird it becomes.

From the initial dough shape, it gradually became the shape of a human being. He was upside down in a corner of the ceiling, with slender limbs, a tall, lanky body, and an oval head. It's obviously a humanoid.

Just from this sketch, you can feel an inexplicable weirdness, which makes people feel cold all over the body. If you do see the entity, it must be even more terrifying.

"Shadow Man!"

The four of them had in their minds the horrific rumor that had been circulating in the village as mentioned in their diaries.
