Chapter 102: The Dark Shadow of the Corpse Temple
The tragic death of a mother and daughter is already a tragedy in the world, but the real horror has just begun.
The man could not bear the blow of the death of his wife and daughter, and could not find the real culprit, and as time passed, his spirit was constantly tormented by the cruel reality, and finally he could not bear it and chose to commit suicide. He ended his life on a cliff in the mountain behind Gujing Town.
When he was found, he was broken to pieces and buried by the town's well-wishers.
Later, a strange legend appeared in Gujing Town, saying that the family of three turned into resentful spirits after death due to the tragic experience in life. The shadow of the mother and daughter often appears in the ruined temple, and the house of a family of three has now become a famous murder house in Gujing Town. It is said that when the night passed, the men's remorseful cries could be heard, and there were crazy laughter.
However, this incident is not only illusory and weird, and soon, there is another case of disappearance in the town!
The one who disappeared this time was a man with a not very good reputation, who was idle on weekdays, abducted and deceived, and offended many people in the town. There has been a history of tailgating women and plotting against them before. More than a week after his disappearance, the body was found in the ruined temple.
Compared with the mother and daughter, this person's body is, to some extent, more miserable.
Only the head was intact, the rest of the body, the flesh and skin were almost completely lost, and the whole person became a bloody skeleton, the internal organs were rotten, and the smell was disgusting and strange. Some people say that this is a resentful spirit asking for his life, the murderer who imprisoned and killed the mother and daughter at the beginning, is this person, a family of three turned into resentful spirits, and avenged themselves.
Although there is no factual basis, the people of Gujing Town are willing to believe this result.
What people didn't expect was that just a month after the bloody corpse was found, the corpse was found again in the ruined temple!
The head is intact like the man before it, but the rest of the body becomes a bloody skeleton of horror.
And this person, no one knows.
Later, after some investigation, it was found that the deceased was actually a homeless man who had just come to Gujing Town not long ago, and relied on begging for a living. After the body was discovered, people once again relied on their imagination to make up all this with the previous death of the mother and daughter.
But after another month, a third corpse appeared in the corpse temple.
This time it didn't seem to matter at all, because it was a woman who died.
The villagers began to panic, but just like the mother and daughter disappeared in the first place, the investigation of the case took a long time, gathering almost all the information about several corpses, but it still did not help solve the case. Later, whenever someone went missing in the town, their body would always be found in the temple shortly after.
It can be as short as seven days or as long as half a month.
Before and after, not counting the mother and daughter, and the husband who committed suicide, a total of seven people died.
As a result, the relevant authorities have greatly strengthened their investigations. But since then, no one has died in the same way.
It was as if it had stopped.
But the legend of seeing the ghost in the corpse temple and hearing his late-night crying in the noodle shop owner's residence has never stopped.
“…… I've heard a little bit of this story. "I recalled, the second uncle did tell me, it was a long time ago, I was shocked by the cruelty of the murderer, but I didn't think about it in a mysterious direction. After all, my experience was limited at that time, and I never imagined that one day I would become what I am now.
"This case has not been solved?" I asked.
Li Yue shook his head, "How do you break it...... Again, it wasn't done by man. ”
Without an investigation, I would not have been able to find out what the truth of the matter was. And the focus at the moment is not this case, I looked at Li Yue curiously: "Why did you go there?" ”
She never answered my question.
Even though I repeated the question a few times.
So I had a guess in my mind that the proposal to go to that place might have something to do with the girl, probably her request. That's why at this time, she was particularly reluctant to mention it. But I asked her so repeatedly, and she knew that she couldn't escape, so she finally said one word with difficulty: "Play ......"
Play?
This answer is very incomprehensible to me.
"What to play?"
"It's not about playing anything, it's ...... I grew up listening to that story because of curiosity, but I didn't go there because I was timid. I love things that are mysterious...... Zuo Ziteng said that he had a classmate who was very powerful and could drive away evil spirits or something. I thought, when it comes to the evil sect, how can there be a place that can compare to the corpse temple in our Gujing Town, so ...... We were actually going on an expedition that day. ”
Li Yue tugged at his sleeve, "Actually, I didn't believe it very much at that time, I also went to the old house of the Shentu family, and I didn't hear crying at night." But I really don't dare to go to that broken temple. Actually, I just wanted a few boys to accompany me, to be brave and see what it was like. ”
"Heh......"
I laughed out loud.
But I know that my laughter is not warm at all.
On the contrary, Li Yue's body couldn't help but tremble, "I'm sorry......"
"No need to apologize, it's none of your business. I'm just curious about one thing. I sat down and sat down on the couch, next to Li Yue.
She shrunk her shoulders: "What? ”
"Have you ever seen a dead man?"
Li Yue shook his head.
I asked, "Do you know what people who are about to die think about when they are dying?" ”
Li Yue shook her head again, but this time, her neck was stiff.
I continued to ask, "Do you know their loved ones, when they get the news of their deaths, when they see their bodies, what is their expression?" ”
Li Yue stiffened his neck and looked at me, "I ......"
"So I don't understand why you think it's fun to be in a place like that. Regardless of whether there is an evil sect or not, that place will never make any normal person find it interesting. ”
"I'm sorry ......"
"No need to apologize."
"I'm sorry ......"
"I said I didn't need to apologize, tell me what happened."
She told what happened that day, it was night, about eight o'clock, Li Yue took care of everything in the store in advance, and then a few people gathered at the entrance of the town and brought snacks. Originally, he was very happy all the way, but Li Yue didn't think that he would really find anything at the time, and he didn't even believe that the so-called exorcist boy would have any ability. She thought it was just Zuo Ziteng who wanted to make her happy and find a few people to help strengthen her courage.
They came all the way to the broken temple at the foot of the mountain, but when they approached the broken temple, they panicked inexplicably.
She herself said that she couldn't explain that feeling, but it seemed that she was not the only one who became different, and the words of the rest of the people were inexplicably reduced.
I guess I understand it as a perception of danger.
Any creature will have a premonition when danger is approaching.
But only the child named Ye Yan always played with his mouth, which was also the last thing that made Li Yue feel a little more at ease. The place in the ruined temple is very large, Li Yue went for the first time, he was very nervous, and because of the darkness, many places were shadows, and if the distance was not close enough, he would feel that there was some ghost and figure there.
A few people went in and explored, but found nothing, and the one named Ye Yan also said that nothing existed in this place.
Li Yue was a little frightened, so she decided to leave.
But just as a few people were about to leave, they suddenly saw a moving shadow in the woods outside the ruined temple! It was clearly humanoid, and it was extremely fast. Not only was it fast, but it also made an extremely strange sound, like the low roar of some kind of beast, and like the choking of a man, but it was louder.
“…… It was very dark, and it had been quiet before, when suddenly a dark shadow appeared, and it made that sound, and I thought of all the legends I had heard before, and I was so scared that I wanted to go back. But ......"
"But what?" I asked.
Li Yue's eyes were puzzled, as if he had thought of something important at this time: "That Ye Yan is so strange. ”
She seemed to suddenly lead the conversation to something else.
"He's weird? What did he say? Or did something be done? I continued to ask.
"After the black shadow saw us, he quickly ran into the depths of the woods, and Ye Yan chased a few steps to the grass where the black shadow had stopped before...... He seemed to see something, but we couldn't see it, and then he said something very strange to your brother, and he said, 'Your family seems to be in trouble, go after it, go after it,' and then he chased after him, and his other two classmates followed, and we had no choice but to follow." ”
What did the kid see?
My memory flashed back, and I remembered that when he came to the tea shop before, he also looked around, as if he had found something, and then saw me through the shelves, and talked about pest control.
His actions made me think that the kid seemed to be able to detect the worm poison in my body.
Could it be that he also saw insect poison in that wood, or on the body of that black shadow?
"And after that?"
"We chased into the woods and didn't find the shadow, but, but got lost......"
According to Li Yue, they wandered around the woods for a long time, maybe two or three hours, and in short, everyone was in a bad mood at that time. Ye Yan, who seemed to be able to see something, couldn't find any traces found before, and in the end, somehow, a few people actually ran all the way to the mountain.
At that time, they realized that if they wanted to go down the mountain at night, they were afraid that it was impossible, so they could only wait for dawn.
So a few people signed up for the group and waited tremblingly in a forest glade. It's a pity that they didn't wait until dawn peacefully, and in the quiet environment, there was a sudden "whining" sound like before. Ye Yan still wanted to chase, but this time he was stopped by a few people, and no one wanted to continue the adventure. He didn't hold on to anything more.
But the "whine" sound never stopped.
As time passed, the voice pulled everyone's spirit tight, to the limit! And then at some point, it suddenly became extremely sharp! Several children panicked, some wanted to escape, but they were held down, and just when there was chaos, a black shadow suddenly fell from the sky! Knock Sakoto to the ground.
At this moment, everyone completely scattered and fled.
Speaking of this, Li Yue looked at my eyes, suddenly became very frightened, and quickly changed his lines: "I, I didn't want to ignore Zuo Ziteng, I turned back later...... However, I was stopped by Ye Yan, he was by my side at that time, and asked me to run first, he said that he would find a way to save Zuo Ziteng, and then I ran away. ”
