I remember that when I was doing English reading questions before the college entrance examination, I read a Chinese translation of a reading.

It was said that a boring sociological research expert in a foreign country conducted a study on the communicative category of ordinary people. The results of the study showed that more than 70% of the 3,000 ordinary people surveyed had never experienced a group activity of more than 100 people.

When the study was transferred to China, the data dropped to less than 20%.

Using the data from this study, the sociologist whose name I don't remember concluded that the collective consciousness of Chinese is more than three times higher than that of Westerners, and then began to unreservedly appreciate the idea of Chinese collectivism.

When I read this reading comprehension, I was still young, and I only focused on how to answer the questions, completely ignoring the content of the article itself.

Looking back now, it is really embarrassing for the questioner to find such a report from thousands of English newspapers, torturing the candidates while patting the sycophants of socialism, leaving no trace at all.

At the same time, I think it is not easy for the foreign expert, who is the only foreigner I have met so far who dares to say that China is better than the West.

This foreign expert deserves gratitude, but I would like to tell him that in China, group activities of more than 100 people are everywhere. If you don't believe it, if you look at a car accident on the road, hundreds of people can gather to watch within a few minutes, this is the power of collectivism!

Ahem, it's a bit far, the above words just want to tell all students who are on the edge of the college entrance examination that the English reading comprehension test questions are actually very fun. As long as you can read the exam questions as stories, you win.

To get back to the point, when we just talked about activities with more than 100 people, this situation is not limited to Chinese-style onlookers, and military training for college students is also a kind of activity, which is an activity that really cultivates our collective consciousness.

For example, now, I agreed to Brother Hu's request and joined the team looking for Han Zhen, standing in line with hundreds of strangers without any sense of disobedience. I am grateful that the military training has tempered my sense of collectivism.

This team of 100 people is made up entirely of college students. The students of the Ghost Academy of Tiandao University accounted for about one-third, the Ghost Hunting Daoists of Heavenly Master University accounted for about one-third, and the Soul Crossing disciples of Tianlu University accounted for about one-third, which means that all the students who can hunt ghosts in the three universities of the Human Ghost Village are here.

And the task of these people. Just before the sun rises tomorrow morning. Find Han Zhen from the woods within a 10-kilometer radius of Yufeng, Shanxi, where he was buried alive.

In my opinion. More than 100 professionals catch a ghost, some of which make a big fuss, but after they really enter the mountains and forests and start looking for them. I realized that more than a hundred people were too few.

The entire area of the woods within a radius of 10 kilometers is about the size of a hundred Beijing zoos combined, and it is difficult for a hundred people to throw them into it to find their own people, let alone find ghosts. This is the same as looking for missing tourists in the famous mountain scenic area, it is completely a blind cat touching a dead mouse, and whoever finds it is completely dependent on his fate!

In addition, finding Han Zhen does not mean success, catching him is the ultimate goal, everyone else is a professional ghost hunter, and I, Fat Man and Liang Tianyu are completely novices, and we don't even have a guy to take advantage of, so we can only follow acquaintances.

This acquaintance is the old senior Chen who indirectly helped us during the freshman assessment.

At that time, if Senior Chen hadn't told us about the function of the freshman identity card, and later "placed" the computer used to monitor the freshman in front of us, it is estimated that we would not have confirmed Wu Ming's murderer identity so quickly.

Later, everything Wu Ming did came to light, and Lao Chen, as one of the witnesses, went to the police station with us to make a record, and the relationship was not bad.

This time we asked him for help, and he readily agreed to our request at that time, and led the five of us into the mountains and forests from the south side of Xiyu Peak.

At first, when we entered the forest, it felt no different from an ordinary grove, but as we went deeper, the trees around us became smaller and smaller, and the branches and canopies above our heads crisscrossed and shaded more and more tightly. Although it was only five o'clock in the afternoon and the sun had not yet set, it was already difficult for us to get any light in the jungle.

Lao Chen led the way in front until it was completely dark before stopping. He reached out and took out two small flashlights from his bag, turned on one by himself, and took a look around, as if to make sure that there was no one else around, before turning around and slowly speaking: "Okay, there were a lot of people outside just now, I don't dare to say anything more, there is no one here, let's make a plan." Come, Yan Shifei and Liang Tianyu, you two will take a flashlight first and help me take a photo. ”

Hearing Lao Chen's words, I took the small flashlight full of doubts, turned on the light, and then saw Lao Chen take out a laptop from his school bag.

"Damn, Lao Chen, you came out to catch ghosts with a computer?"

"Of course, we are professional ghost hunters, how can we go to work casually if we are not fully prepared, come, give me all your mobile phones. ”

Lao Chen connected our mobile phones to his computer one by one, and then clicked on a program, and the screen went black instantly.

After a few seconds, when the screen lights up again, it has turned into a strange flat map, with a few points of light flashing in the lower right corner of the map.

Lao Chen clapped his hands excitedly, pointed to the computer screen and turned his head to us and said, "Okay, come and see, this is the overlook plan of Xiyu Peak, the gray and white part in the middle is the peak, and the green area around is the woods, these views represent the six of us." I'm going to transfer the map and location app to your phone now, and as long as you don't lose your phone, we'll be able to find each other's location. ”

After speaking, Lao Chen put the computer aside for the time being, reached out and took out a small glass bottle from his bag.

"If any of you can't see ghosts, tell me, I know that Yan is a god-given spiritual eye, and this thing shouldn't be needed. ”

"Lao Chen, what is this?"

"This is soul-calming water, which is made of cow tears, dog saliva water, cat urine, toad body fluids, and chicken neck blood according to a certain proportion. Rubbing it on the eyelids allows the living to see the ghost. ”

"I'll go, really, and this thing?"

"Of course, this is a must-have for the students of the Ghost Academy. Let me tell you, there are three lamps on the top of the head and on the shoulders, representing the three souls of man, heaven and earth.

If you extinguish any of the three fires, the heavenly fire or the earth fire on both shoulders, you can see the spirit. But at the same time, people will also be sick and painful, and evil spirits will invade the body. The fire of life above his head is extinguished. You can see a terrible ghost, this is a terrible ghost looking for you to ask for your life, and instead of it to go to the underworld to be tortured, such a person is not far from death. All three lights went out. There is no yang energy at all. And the man died.

Of course. This fire will not be extinguished for no reason, there must be something unclean that blows out the yang fire close to the body, which is commonly known as the ghost blowing lamp.

The principle of soul water is to temporarily extinguish people's soul fire. But it also protects people's souls from ghosts. The Han Zhen we are looking for this time is a ghost, so as long as we rub the soul-suppressing water on one eye and temporarily suppress one of the lights in the heavenly fire or earth fire. The potency of the medicine lasts for three hours, who wants to wipe it with himself. ”

Lao Chen explained as he applied the potion to his right eyelid and reached out to hand the medicine bottle to us.

I know I don't need it. Jing Han didn't seem to like this thing, and shook her head and stepped aside. Li Su pursed his lips and didn't ask for it, but just took out another mobile phone from his pocket and held it tightly in his hand.

In the end, only Liang Tianyu and the fat man took it and wiped it on their eyelids.

After putting away the small medicine bottle, Lao Chen took out two more Dao talismans.

"These two are Vermilion Bird Fire Charms, I borrowed them from the Dao Academy, the people of our Ghost Academy generally don't use charms to catch ghosts, I brought them just in case, and now I just want them for you. If you meet Han Zhen later, as long as you stick the rune paper on him, he will turn into a fire and start burning from the rune paper. Find me before the rune paper burns out, and we can catch him, if the rune paper burns out, Han Zhen's ghost will run away, so use this thing with caution. Which of you wants?"

"I, I want it!"

The fat man was the first to raise his hand and shouted, and then Liang Tianyu also reached out to ask for one.

After handing out the rune paper, Lao Chen lowered his head and took out a nylon rope and a sack.

"I usually prepare two sets of things when I go out to catch ghosts, and this ghost hunting bag and ghost rope are extra, which of you use them?"

"Give me the rope. ”

Jing Han stretched out his hand and asked for the nylon rope, thinking that when he was on the ghoul road, he used a red rope to subdue many zombies, and it is estimated that this kind of soft weapon is what he is used to.

I thought so in my heart, and suddenly the figure in front of me shook, and Li Su stepped forward and asked for the ghost hunting bag from Lao Chen's hand.

Now the other four people have tools, I turned my head to look at Lao Chen and waited for him to take out something next, but Lao Chen lifted his schoolbag and closed the zipper.

"Hey, Lao Chen, are you out of equipment?"

"Yes, but they're all professional tools, and that's all you can use. ”

"Does that mean I have nothing left?"

"Uh...... Pretty much. By the way, you can use this little flashlight in your hand. ”

"Can this little flashlight catch ghosts?"

"No, this is an ordinary little flashlight, I mean you can use the flashlight to signal us after you find Han Zhen. ”

"Damn, I'm going to make soy sauce together?"

I'm really speechless, and I've been waiting for a long time and I'm still useless.

Lao Chen spread his hands apologetically, turned around and picked up his computer, and returned our mobile phones.

"Alright, that's all for the preparations, this time the mission is to catch a ghost, there is no danger, let's just go separately. Although the five of you are freshmen, you have experienced a lot of things, and I believe that you can handle emergencies well. In addition, please do me a favor, once someone catches Han Zhen, please bring him to me first and leave it to me to deal with. I'm already in my senior year and I'm graduating next year, so this action can give me a lot of performance points, and maybe the key to my ability to leave the ghost village alive. How many people, are you okay with this request?"

Lao Chen's request didn't hurt us much, so we naturally nodded and agreed.

"Well, I'll just thank you in advance. The six of us split up, I had marked the meeting point on the map, and in three hours we met at location 1. OK, let's go. ”

Lao Chen waved his hand, turned his head directly into the dark, and walked deeper into the woods, leaving the five of us looking at each other.

Liang Tianyu scratched his head and took the lead in speaking: "Lao Chen left all the two flashlights for us, Yan Shifei uses one, and I have another one, do you want to leave it for girls?"

Liang Tianyu seemed to ask, but his hand had already stretched out and handed the small flashlight to Jing Han.

But Jinghan didn't answer, waved his hand and said, "I don't need it, someone will explore the way for me." ”

After saying this, she took out a hat from behind her and put it on her head, and when the familiar black tulle hung down, Jinghan snapped her fingers, and something suddenly flew down above our heads and landed in her arms.

"Black charcoal?!"

Seeing clearly what jumped into Jinghan's arms, I was shocked at the time, the cat's head like a Tai Chi yin and yang fish, what else could it be if it wasn't black charcoal.

Didn't this cat sleep in the office, and when did it come here?

I had all kinds of doubts in my heart, but I was destined to get no answers, so Jinghan picked a direction and walked forward with black charcoal.

Jinghan left, I subconsciously seemed to follow, but Li Su's kid was one step faster than me, and as soon as I had such an idea, he had already chased after me.

However, he went fast and came back quickly, and three big black wasps the size of his thumb forced Li Su back. At the same time, only Jing Han's crisp voice echoed in the mountains and forests.

"Act separately, don't follow anyone, waste manpower!"

Li Su's experience was a wake-up call for me, but I didn't know why, I suddenly had an idea.

If I follow me at this time, will Jing Han treat me the same way he treated Li Su? Or ......

Well, in the end I didn't dare to try it, some things don't work out, it's better than bad results.

Jing Han is gone, and the four of us have nothing to discuss.

Li Su is this strange thing, he actually brought four or five mobile phones with him, even if he turned on the flash to illuminate it all night, he didn't care about a small flashlight at all, and directly chose a route closer to Jinghan, and ran away.

The fat man didn't ask for a flashlight in the end, but chose a route closest to the next meeting point, he left in the dark and waited for us at the next meeting point, and then Liang Tianyu gave him the flashlight to use.

The plan took shape, and I went our separate ways, tightening my bag on my back and walking deeper into the woods.

The surrounding trees towered into the sky, and the canopy of branches and foliage intertwined to obscure the entire sky, making it impossible to tell if it was day or night outside.

In such a place, such a large territory, if you want to find a ghost, I'm afraid ...... Uh, what's that? (To be continued......)
