Chapter 345: Groundwater
Because, on the first night of Lu Yang, when he entered Hu's house, among some reproduced old scenes, there was a scene of Hu Yulan sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair and summoning her soul.
Not only that, the two graffiti on the wall, the one with soul summoning was tried by Hu Yulan, and the one with spiritism was tried by Zhang Xiaowen.
Is Hu Yulan's murder and the mysterious disappearance of her body related to this soul summoning technique? She couldn't have been killed by the mysterious thing she summoned, right? Zhang Xiaowen, who used spiritism in a lot of words, Lu Yang also felt that she must have been more than lucky, and the one who appeared next to her was her ghost nine times out of ten.
There's definitely something strange about that.
It seems that after going back, I should go to Hu Yutao's house again, and the reason why I was able to see Hu Yulan in front of the dresser last night was probably because the time at that time coincided with the time required by the soul summoning technique, at midnight.
If you enter Hu Yutao's room again before midnight, you are likely to see Hu Yulan again and get her murderer from her.
Or maybe it was something mysterious she summoned that killed her.
Even if you can't see the recreated old scenes, you can try to do some soul summoning in Hu Yutao's room, maybe summoning Hu Yulan, and even the real murderer.
There is a certain danger, but perhaps this is the only way to find the real culprit and put an end to this strange realm.
Spiritism ...... If it doesn't work, let's take it to Hu Yutao's room and try it, maybe there will be some gains.
What happens if these two methods are used together?
I can't do it alone, and it seems that I have to find someone to help.
The graffiti on the walls of the mine house provides these clues, and the next thing can only be done after returning to Hongsang Town, then, now, you should find a way to get back to the ground.
Wait a minute
Lu Yang always felt that he was missing something......
After thinking about it carefully for a long time, Lu Yang's mind was excited, and he suddenly realized something......
There should be some clues in it, right?
Lu Yang picked up the flashlight and carefully compared the graffiti on both sides, and soon he found some abnormalities.
The graffiti and handwriting on the left is old, blurred in places, and covered with dust, but the 'Spiritism' side is clearly newly painted on the wall
The style and font of the graffiti on both sides are also inconsistent, and it is clear that they are not the work of the same person.
Then, this probably means that 'Soul Summoning' is a legend that belongs to Hongsang Town, and 'Spiritism' may not be, it is likely that Zhang Xiaowen painted it on the wall after seeing 'Soul Summoning'
This also means that Zhang Xiaowen has indeed been here, and found the mural opposite, inspired by this 'soul summoning technique', so she painted her 'ancestral', or her imaginary 'spiritism', on the other side.
Then, Zhang Xiaowen must have been here, and what she said about finding in the No. 13 pit is likely to be found from here.
She entered the No. 13 pit, returned to the hotel unharmed, and left a note for Xu Yaping, telling Xu Yaping what she found in the pit, because the second half of the note was completely gone, so Lu Yang didn't know what she wrote behind, but it was probably related to what she found.
They were investigating the mining disaster, so Zhang Xiaowen volunteered to enter the mine, and it was likely that she found something here, so she investigated Hu Yutao's death and Hu Yulan's 'disappearance' by the way.
What did Zhang Xiaowen want to tell Xu Yaping? And why did Xu Yaping swallow Zhang Xiaowen's note and then commit suicide?
The purpose of a person swallowing a note is obviously to hide something, if it is not the evidence of his own crime, it is the evidence of someone else's crime, anyway, he is very afraid of being known, Xu Yaping must have felt a great threat, so he swallowed the note.
And her suicide by hanging the beam is most likely just an illusion, and she is also very likely to have been murdered
It's just that, judging from Zhang Xiaowen's words, she didn't know about Xu Yaping's death, she thought that Xu Yaping, like Hu Yulan, was just missing. If Zhang Xiaowen died, her thinking would probably still be in the state before she died, so she would say this to Lu Yang.
Zhang Xiaowen, what was found in the No. 13 mine should not only be these two graffiti, she should have also found some incriminating evidence...,
The very critical and powerful evidence is likely to be related to Hu Yulan's murder case, which is the goal of Lu Yang's treacherous mission.
If this evidence had not been destroyed, it would have been in the thirteenth pit
Will there be anything in this hut that has been overlooked?
What do so many red mulberry dolls with names on them mean? Do they just herald death?
Lu Yang continued to look around the walls of the mining house, not missing a single corner, he even kept tapping here and there with his hands, trying to find something like a cassette in the wall.
However, apart from two graffiti, he found nothing.
Just when Lu Yang was about to give up the search for the mining house and go to the waterhole to see if there was anything unusual in the waterhole, he suddenly thought of something, so he returned to the mining house, squatted down, and carefully searched the ground of the mining house with a flashlight.
Sure enough, he found something unusual again.
The floor of the mine has been washed
And it was rinsed recently
Who would be so bored to wash the ground of a mine deep in this uninhabited pit?
Lu Yang casually went to other mining houses to check, but found no traces of washing, only that mining house had been washed.
What is the purpose of flushing the minehouse?
Obviously, it's trying to cover up something.
Cover what?
Lu Yang doesn't need to think about it to know.
Bloodstains
Although it was rinsed, if Lu Yang was lying on the ground and sniffing hard, he could still smell some blood. And carefully following the traces of washing on the ground, all the way forward, it was the waterhole that Lu Yang had encountered before.
Lu Yang was in danger in the waterhole last night, and was attacked by something in the waterhole, causing him to wake up early, although it is difficult to say whether he really woke up, but this can also be regarded as a turning point.
Looking at the pool of water in front of him, Lu Yang began to ponder the meaning of the 'dream' last night.
Maybe the answer to everything is hidden in this pool.
When he was on the woman's body last night, although his vision was better than today, but yesterday there was no flashlight, and he couldn't see anything on the other side of the waterhole, and today Lu Yang had a flashlight, and he used the flashlight to shine on the opposite side of the waterhole, and after carefully observing it for a while, he confirmed that the opposite side was a dead end.
Then, whether it is a corpse or a evidence, it must have sunk in this pool.
What's in the pool?
Hu Yulan's corpse?
But it is not enough to find Hu Yulan's body, it is also necessary to find some evidence on or next to her body to find out who her killer is.
If you don't enter the tiger's den, you can get the tiger, and if you don't enter the pool, you will definitely not be able to catch the female ghost.
But Lu Yang had an intuition that it would definitely be very dangerous to go down into this pool, and he knew that the bottom of this pool was very slippery, and he would fall into it if he was not careful.
Last time, when the body was salvaged under the river water of Longmen Fish Pond, after all, there were many people around him, and three people went into the water with him, this time, in this empty pit, he had to go down alone to touch the body.
No matter how bold a person is, he will have some chills in his back at this time.
Not only that, but I don't know if the strange ore monster followed, but after going into the water, it can't shoot, and its reaction will be much slower.
Although there are many concerns, Lu Yang has no other choice and must go into the water.
After putting the gun into the plastic bag prepared in advance and wrapping it layer by layer, Lu Yang got into the water step by step. Although it was summer, the temperature of the water in this pit was very low, so low that after Lu Yang entered, his body couldn't help but start shivering.
Lu Yang's flashlight is specially made, waterproof and strong electricity, and a special strap can be worn on the top of the head, and in strong light mode, it can clearly illuminate a place one or two meters away under the water. Of course, Lu Yang's water quality is also good, and if you dive, you can hold your breath for at least five or six minutes without any problems.
After Lu Yang fixed the flashlight on the top of his head, he walked into the waterhole step by step, the bottom of the waterhole are all extremely smooth stone walls, and it is inclined downward, although it seems that this is a small pool, but it is much deeper than Lu Yang imagined, and he can't take a few steps forward, Lu Yang's feet slip, and the whole person enters the water.
Lu Yang had already prepared, and after a few swims, his body floated to the surface, took a few sharp breaths, and then plunged headlong into the bottom of the pool. …,
The water in the pool is not as clear as Lu Yang imagined, it looks very turbid, and it has a certain flow rate, and it seems that the bottom should be connected to an underground dark river that passes through here.
If the corpse is abandoned here, tied to a stone and sunk the corpse, it will sink directly to the bottom of the groundwater, and it is indeed difficult to be found, I have to say that this is a good place to destroy the corpse, even if Ye Hanqiang and those people know that someone is destroying the corpse here, they may not be willing to send someone down here to find the corpse.
The intricacies of the pit itself will discourage most people, so the number of missing people in China's mines is uncountable, but it is impossible to find out.
When Lu Yang felt that the water below was getting stronger and stronger, he didn't dare to continue to explore, he was worried that if he lost his bearings below, it was very likely that he would not be able to float up to the place where he had just fallen, then he would suffocate inside.
Lu Yang estimated the direction of the current, quickly swam back, and after coming to the surface of the water, he exhaled a few times again, and at this moment, he suddenly felt an extreme danger......
As soon as he turned around, Lu Yang saw that where he had entered the water just now, there was a four-legged monster with green eyes standing......
It's not a wolf, it's not a creature at all, it has a very thin body on four legs, a round head supported in front, except for two eyes, it's the mouth below, the mouth is full of fangs, and the whole looks very strange.
It had an irregular pit at the center of its eyebrows, which was obviously caused by Lu Yang's pistol shot.
At this moment, it was squatting at the water's edge, staring gloomily at Lu Yang on the water, but it did not go down to the water, and it seemed that its water properties would not be too good.
"Grass"
Lu Yang scolded and raised his middle finger at the monster. Although the monster could not hurt him now because it refused to enter the water, it obviously blocked his back road, so that he didn't even have a chance to swim back to shore to catch his breath.
And if you stay in this pool of water all the time, with such a low water temperature, Lu Yang will freeze to death sooner or later.
Unless, he finds another outlet in this groundwater.
Thinking of the unfathomable groundwater under the water, as well as the disordered flow of the groundwater, Lu Yang couldn't help but feel a little chill in his heart, unless he knew very well where the other exit was, otherwise once he dived down and lost his way in the chaotic current, he would suffocate to death in the underground water flow.
Now this situation is really unstoppable, which makes people very depressed.
But since there is no turning back, you can only find your way below the water.
Try to remember this direction, I only dived for about a minute just now, but this time I dived a little more, maybe the groundwater didn't go deep when it passed through this place.
If it is a sunken corpse, there is a certain possibility that it was not washed away.
Although finding the sunken corpse may not necessarily be able to find clues, but now that things have developed to this point, Lu Yang has no other choice but to dive again.
In the second dive, Lu Yang explored downward for more than two minutes, and according to his observations, the groundwater was not as deep as he imagined, and the bottom seemed to be almost to the end.
It's just that when Lu Yang swam back, he almost got annoyed, originally he thought it should be the surface of the waterhole, but it was the top of a cave wall, and when he couldn't bear it anymore for more than five minutes, Lu Yang finally recognized the direction, or the feeling of betting right, and floated up from the surface of the waterhole.
After breathing violently for a while, Lu Yang looked in the direction of the monster again......
Faint...... There was only one just now, but now it's two......
"Grass"
Lu Yang raised his middle finger again.
The back road is completely blocked, and I don't even have to think about going back to the shore.
Lu Yang's body is getting colder and colder, and the groundwater is constantly absorbing the heat in his body, and it is estimated that it will not be long before he stops going into the water and suffocates underneath, he will freeze to death in this extremely low temperature groundwater.
Lu Yang decided not to dive into the depths to test it, but to explore the surroundings, and perhaps there would be similar water surfaces like this kind of waterhole elsewhere.
Although Lu Yang's purpose in coming to the pit was just to find some proof, or to encounter the old scene again, but now it is obvious that he has been trapped and must find a way to escape, otherwise the treacherous task will not be completed, and he will die here first.
And this time, Lu Yang didn't feel that after he 'died', he would suddenly wake up from which bed, although there were many spaces in this treacherous mission, and there seemed to be many lines, but now this line, which is likely to be dead, has really become a dead line. …,
Therefore, for the sake of this life, you must be very cautious.
If you go down to explore, there are upstream and downstream to choose from, theoretically speaking, if there is a water outlet elsewhere, it should be upstream, so Lu Yang first explored in the direction of the upstream.
Lu Yang limited the exploration time to less than three minutes, and it would be more laborious to swim upstream when swimming, but it was relatively easier to come back and swim downstream.
The situation upstream was more complicated than Lu Yang imagined, at least four branch roads converged on this side, and Lu Yang also found a place where he could surface, only to find that there was a dead top with no way out, and the air was very dirty, not suitable for breathing at all.
After nearly half an hour of tossing, Lu Yang confirmed that there was no way out in the upstream direction.
Or even if there is a way out, the way out is very far, and it will definitely not be able to swim through it in a few minutes.
The two green-eyed and fanged monsters were still crouching beside the waterhole, staring at Lu Yang on the water, as if waiting for him to return to the shore at any time and become a delicacy in their bellies.
Lu Yang was very suspicious that this ore monster would like to eat human flesh, but judging from their vicious eyes, even if they don't eat human flesh, they must have a hobby of abuse, although this hobby is very nonsense, but all the creatures of this treacherous domain are this virtue, so there is nothing to complain about.
What's next?
Frozen to death in this pool?
Lu Yang decided to go downstream......
According to last night's prompt, there must be something wrong with this pool, if it is a sunken corpse or something, it will be washed down the current, maybe after reaching a place below, the old scene will reappear in the treacherous domain, so that Lu Yang can find new clues and continue this treacherous mission.
But what if it doesn't trigger a re-enactment?
Lu Yang is now very out of strength, and his body temperature has also lost so much that he can't use all the trick cards, and once he reaches the turbulent place of the downstream water flow, he doubts that he will still have enough strength to swim back here.
Exploring upstream, when you have the strength, you can go uphill, if you don't have the strength, you can swim back here with the current, but you don't have to go downstream, when you go, you may easily slide down a long way, but if you want to swim back, it will be very difficult.
However, waiting here forever will definitely end up freezing to death, and the only choice is to venture downstream.
Lu Yang took a few breaths, regained his confidence, plunged headlong into the bottom of the water, and swam downstream.
The speed of going down the river was very fast, because it was very cold and tired, and he kept thinking about various problems in his head, Lu Yang was in a trance, and when he concentrated again, he suddenly found that he had forgotten the time......
How long has it been down?
According to the difficulty of breathing, Lu Yang estimated that it should be at least more than three minutes
depend on
In that case, you probably won't be able to go back
The further down he went, the narrower the underground cave became, and the more turbulent the water became, and if he wanted to swim back, at the speed of this current, Lu Yang would have to take at least four times as long as he came before he could swim back...... ,
