When the pain in his heart gradually eased, Zhai Di, who was carrying his backpack, had already appeared in a strange mountain village.

There were also some colorful figures around him, and Zhai Di understood that his third investigation had begun.

At this moment, a hand was very skillfully placed on his shoulder, and Lu Ye's face came into his eyes.

"Although I'm not some kind of perverted man who is bored in class and craves excitement, I have to say that it feels good to be in another world. Lu also looked at the scenery of the entire small mountain village.

Zhai Di wanted to say something, and a mysterious and grand voice came to his ears: "A strange thing has happened in Niquan Village recently, there are frequent disappearances of children and even adults, please investigate the cause of the matter, and when the investigation progress reaches 50%, 70%, and 90%, there will be three prompts respectively." ”

"Your identity: An investigator sent by the authorities, and the relevant documents have been issued. ”

When the voice ended, a few people around him relaxed slightly, and at this time, a man about thirty years old wearing glasses spoke: "It seems that everyone is the investigator of this investigation incident, let's introduce myself first, and then I can cooperate." ”

"I, Zhang Chengxu, this is my sixth investigation mission, and I have mastered the transcendent profession Spirit Flame Messenger, which can create and drive spiritual flames, which has a certain amount of damage to mythical creatures, and at the same time, it has extraordinary prop rotten eyes, which can make abnormal creatures show signs of decay. ”

Zhang Chengxu pushed his glasses, and then noticed that Lu Ye next to him was looking at him with a frightened look, and then walked away from Zhai Di for a distance, as if he was seeing something terrifying.

Zhang Chengxu frowned, but through the rotten eyes, he didn't find any signs of decay on Lu Ye's body, and he didn't know what this guy was afraid of?

"That, my name is Ji Xusong, this is my third investigation mission, no ...... If you don't master the transcendent profession, you have a transcendent prop black needle, which can force the stabbed person to stun for 1~3 seconds. "It was a somewhat scruffy young man who spoke, with long hair, a greasy forehead, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses, who looked like a decadent college student.

"Chu Bai, the fourth mission, the transcendent professional spirit possessor, your weapons can be handed over to me. "It was a short-inch girl who spoke, and she didn't have any expression during the whole process, and she didn't make any movements after she finished speaking.

"Hello everyone, it's an honor to cooperate with you on this mission, my name is Ye Yu, this is my fifth mission, I have mastered the extraordinary professional talisman, and I can make talismans with special effects, I hope we can work together to get through this difficult time." A young man with neatly combed hair and a suit and tie, like a salesperson, pushed his glasses and said to everyone with a smile.

Zhai Di opened his mouth and before he could speak, he heard Lu Ye next to him say: "You call me Y, after all, taking the letter code is our traditional art, can we lose it, huh...... It's my first time on a mission, and it sounds like a lot of fun. ”

"Well, you call me a deer, the third investigation mission, with a transcendent tool to make a stake, through the arrangement can restrict the existence of some spirits, and at the same time can cast one or two control spells. Zhai Di was interrupted by Lu Ye, and hurriedly added an animal code name to himself.

"Then it seems that this time the investigation task is completed by the six of us, and I have the most experience in the investigation, so I will temporarily act as the captain and come forward to ask all kinds of questions, and if there is a omission, you will add it, no problem, right?"

After Zhang Chengxu finished speaking, his eyes swept over everyone, and when he saw that no one objected, he continued: "When you enter the village, don't touch anything with religious or weird colors casually, don't leave the team without permission, or talk to strangers, if you want to solve private matters, it's best to have two or three people together, be careful in everything, and don't act rashly until you have enough information." ”

The investigators nodded, and walked into the entrance of the village together, Lu also walked behind, and at first glance saw that there was a mud spring temple not far from the entrance of the village, and the temple door was slightly open, and the scene inside could be seen vaguely.

When Lu Ye looked at it, he suddenly saw a figure flashing inside, and the temple door closed tightly with a bang.

Such a loud noise suddenly appeared in the quiet mountain village, which made several investigators react to varying degrees, Zhang Chengxu Yeyu, who had experienced many tasks, faced the temple gate as soon as possible, dragging things in his hands, but his feet stood on tiptoe slightly, ready to run away at any time.

However, Zhai Di and Ji Xusong were taken aback, like fried cats, and almost turned around and ran away.

Lu Ye squinted at this mud spring temple, knowing in his heart that the figure that had just flashed past must be a clue, but when he didn't know anything, he ventured to track it down, just afraid that there would be danger.

These investigators were very cautious and spared their lives, and they would not pay attention to the changes in the Niquan Temple until they were sure, but looked at the situation of the entire mountain village.

There are many one-story or two-story buildings on the bluestone brick-paved path, but now every household closes their doors and windows, and from some signboards and objects hanging outside the door, it can be seen that the tourism industry in this muddy spring village should be quite developed, and you can look at all kinds of souvenir shops.

It's just that this desolate scene now makes a strange sense of uneasiness instantly envelop everyone's hearts.

Several experienced investigators have long been accustomed to this atmosphere, after all, all kinds of strange things are generally happening in places where they need to investigate, either mythical creatures are doing it, or there are cultists performing some ritual to communicate with evil gods.

Instead of bothering the Niquan Temple, the investigators knocked on the door from door to door, explaining that they were investigators of the imperial court, but most of them did not respond.

It wasn't until I knocked on the end of the village that the door opened, and out came an old man with white hair and white beard, who coughed a few times from time to time, and then said enthusiastically: "Welcome to Niquan Village, the little old man Li Si is the village chief of Niquan Village, and he is also my application for assistance." ”

"Let's sit down first, and I'll explain the situation to a few adults. ”

The old village chief Li lived alone, welcomed a few people into the house, and hurriedly prepared tea for a few people.

However, except for Lu Ye who did not hesitate to sip tea, no one else touched the tea, Niquan Village, as soon as I heard the name, I knew that this village had a relationship with the spring water, and in this case, I dared to drink the water here, it was not a big heart, it was a desire to die.

"The first case of disappearance happened a month ago, the missing person was the son of Li Sanjia, at first I thought he had run to the mountains to play and got lost, and I took someone to look for it together. ”

When I came back, I found that the eldest son of Li Gouzi's family was gone, and I thought it was someone from the village. ”

But in the years that followed, more and more children went missing, especially on the third day, when the seven or eight children who came back from school at the bottom of the mountain did not return home. ”

The school teacher watched them leave the school together and gave them a ride up the mountain. ”

"The parents searched for several days, and no one dared to go out at night until a few parents who were also looking for people disappeared and disappeared. ”

"There are a few families who go back to their parents' homes with their children during the day, and some time ago I heard people from neighboring villages say that they didn't see people from our village passing. ”

"These days, people are missing one after another, and the temple blessing of the Niquan Temple is also inexplicably gone, there is really no way, so I asked for the help of the official family. Before the old village chief could drive, he was already in tears.

"I see. Zhang Chengxu nodded, and then made further inquiries, such as how many people are still in the village, what special customs are in the village, and have a comprehensive understanding of the situation in Niquan Village.

Niquan Village is a tourist mountain village, and many tourists come to Niquan Village to live for a period of time every year.

After the disappearance, there were only more than 30 people left in more than 10 households in the entire Niquan village, and the entire mountain village was also closed.

As for the more famous mud spring village, naturally there is only the so-called mud spring.

It is a mountain spring, the spring water is crystal clear, the reason why it is called the mud spring, is because on the night of the full moon, the whole spring will come out of a lot of turbid muddy water, and after a period of time, when the spring water is clear again, you can see your future from the spring water, it is said that this is the gift of the god of bad water to the mud spring village, but a long time ago the temple Zhu blocked the mud spring temple, and did not want people to go in to visit the mud spring.

The main tourism project of Niquan Village is indeed the spring water of Niquan.

Just now, a few investigators saw at least three teahouses, all of which had signboards of mountain spring tea at the door, and in addition to mountain spring water, boiled fish, and so on.

But now it also happens to reflect the idiom that people go to tea and cool.

It was already early outside, and several people declined the offer to stay at the village chief's house, and came to a teahouse inn together.

According to the village chief, this teahouse is Li San's family, and it is also the first teahouse in the village, and his son is the first person to go missing, and then the husband and wife also disappeared in a night outing, and the entire teahouse inn was empty.

Several investigators are very experienced, and in bizarre events like this, the first victim usually has the potential to be problematic.

They came to the teahouse, and after a quick rummag, some abnormal things were placed on the table in the hall.

"The last guest on the register was a family, and according to the time, it was the day the family left, that there was a disappearance. Ye Yu took out the registration book, which requires signatures for check-in and departure, but although the signature for leaving and the signature for check-in are the same name, the handwriting is not the same.

"In several rooms, I found traces of camera installation. Chu Bai said what he had gained: "In addition, in the room of Li San's family below, a lot of personal items with traces of others were found, and there was something wrong with this Li San." ”

"I sprinkled luminos in various rooms and found large blood stains, there had been large-scale bloodshed here, and there may have been more than one death, and the blood stains flowed all the way to the back mountain. Zhang Chengxu said seriously: "This is a clue, tomorrow I will look for bloodstains first, and by the way, I will walk around the village and collect all kinds of information." ”

"Tomorrow during the day, we will go to look for these clues, sort out what happened in this village little by little, collect information about the mythical creatures that may exist in the mud spring, and stay at this inn tonight. Zhang Chengxu glanced at everyone, stayed on Lu Ye for a moment, and then continued: "Fight the table, sleep in the hall, and if you want to go to the toilet, you must wake up the others to follow." ”

After determining the itinerary, several investigators sealed the doors and windows of the teahouse, paid attention to where to hide and where to escape, and gathered in the hall to wait for the night to pass.
