The houses on this street have a strange structure, and the stairs leading to the second floor are all on the back side, so I went around and was about to go directly to the second floor, but suddenly found a figure flashing in the grass downstairs. Originally, it was not unusual for a person to appear in broad daylight, but this person's hair was fluffy and messy, and his clothes were badly damaged, like a beggar, but his movements were very neat, and he disappeared in a flash.

"Why do you think this guy is hiding here on purpose?"

I'm kind of tempted to catch up and see what is going on.

But at the same time, I was even more anxious to learn the truth of the matter from the girl. If she goes a little late, the girl is likely to be disturbed by the content of the phone call and run away, so that the only clue will be difficult to find.

Choosing one or the other, I ended up going upstairs.

When I knocked on the door, I listened carefully to what was going on inside the door. The girl didn't open the door to me right away, she didn't ask who it was, she was pretending that there was no one in the house. But her trembling footsteps, and the metallic sound of colliding with something, completely betrayed her.

I listened quietly as she slowly walked towards the door, perhaps with a knife in her hand if I was not mistaken.

"Aren't you going to open the door?" I tugged the door.

With my ears against the door panel, I could hear the girl's chaotic breathing, she was very nervous at the moment.

Seeing that she didn't move for a long time, I stepped out of the way and hid to the side of the door, "Then forget it if you don't open the door, I'll go." With that, I began to move my steps, which gradually became lighter, and my voice became slower and quieter, and it sounded like I was going downstairs. Speaking of which, this kind of stepping method was taught by Chen Sen, and I didn't expect it to come in handy one day. I just don't know if the girl will believe it.

After a long time, there was finally movement inside the door.

It was the sound of the door opening, and the girl opened the door a small slit, and was about to observe the situation outside.

I seized the opportunity and reached out to clasp the door panel! Then force the door open. The girl screamed, and the kitchen knife in her hand stabbed me, but I quickly grabbed my wrist, and then hit the door frame, the kitchen knife fell to the ground, and the girl was captured.

Two minutes later.

Indoors.

I found an ice cream in the fridge at the girl's house and circled the towel.

She was cowering in the corner of the couch at the moment, her eyes always following me, her eyes full of horror.

"What's your name?" I walked up to her and handed her the towel, "Ice." ”

"Li Yue ......" Although she answered my question, she still dodged me as a person, and her eyes were very resistant.

I put the towel on the coffee table in front of Li Yue, "Zuo Ziteng, that kid, it's hard to serve, knowing that I hurt you, I guess it will annoy me to death." Hurry up and apply it. ”

Hearing me say Zuo Ziteng, she gradually relaxed, and in her frightened eyes, there were more doubts, picked up the towel and put it on her wrist, with a painful expression on her face, and then asked me timidly, "You...... You are...... Who is Sakoteng? ”

"I'm his cousin. We've seen each other, and we've seen each other many times. ”

"Seen?"

"Yes, in the morning. It doesn't matter, though. Tell me, what's going on lately, and where is Sakoteng? Is he in trouble? Or is he dead? ”

I don't want that to be the last answer, but I can't escape that possibility.

Li Yue shook his head: "I don't know...... We got separated, and I don't know where he is now, and his classmates didn't wait for him, and now ...... I can't get in touch now. ”

"Scattered? Where did you go? I asked.

Li Yue's flickering eyes were full of nervousness and uneasiness, and then he slowly spoke: "We...... We went to the temple of corpses at the bottom of the mountain. ”

Temple of the Dead?

It's a bit of a strange name.

Although Gujing Town is my hometown, I left here when I was fifteen years old, and I basically never came back during this period, and my second uncle would often come to Bincheng to see me. So I don't know very much about what has happened in Gujing Town in recent years. At least I hadn't heard of a corpse temple until I was fifteen.

But there is indeed a temple.

There is a barren mountain near Gujing Town, the broken temple is under the mountain, it is said that the years are far away, but it is not clear whether it is a Taoist temple or a temple. Inside, almost all the stone statues were smashed, and it was impossible to see what was carved. Some say that the temple existed decades ago, while others say that there was no accurate information hundreds of years ago. It has not been demolished, mainly because no one has moved the ground near the mountain, and no one has done anything to tear down the temple.

I'm wondering, could the corpse temple that Li Yue said be that place?

When I asked, I guessed correctly.

"Why is it called the Temple of the Dead? Who gave the name. Why are you going to that place? ”

Li Yue stammered, but fortunately, after talking for a long time, I probably sorted out the main information.

Let's start with the name of the Corpse Temple.

What I didn't expect was that the name was actually related to a case of murder in captivity.

Thirteen years ago, a man came to Gujing Town, with his wife and children, and settled here. The man also opened a noodle restaurant, and his craftsmanship was very good, but everyone in Gujing Town had eaten the noodles he made. The man was originally a foreigner, but his wife was born in Gujing Town since she was a child and knew it very well, and the family of three quickly integrated into the rhythm of life here.

was originally a happy family, but in the third year of moving to Gujing Town, about ten years ago, a human tragedy occurred.

It was a summer evening, and my wife took her daughter out for a walk at the night market in Gujing Town. Before leaving, the man also agreed to his wife and daughter that today's supper, he must make the lotus sugar cake, a famous snack in Gujing Town. He is a noodle shopkeeper and has very good cooking skills, but he is always poor at such snacks.

That day, he finally perfected it once, and he felt that it was the best pastry he had ever made in his life. The delicious taste in his mouth made him fantasize about the happy smiling faces of his wife and daughter as they ate pastries.

But that smiling face, he will never see each other again in this life.

The wife and daughter did not return.

She waited until late at night, and when dawn came, he began to look around, but no one knew the clues of the mother and daughter.

He called the police, but after a week, nothing went wrong. The mother and daughter just disappeared out of thin air. In those days, he was haunted by nightmares, and he knew that his wife had no reason to leave without saying goodbye to her daughter, and that her disappearance meant that they had nothing to do.

And the nightmare, in the end, became a reality.

The next time I saw my wife and daughter, it was two months later.

It was in that ruined temple that children who went up the mountain to play found it. At that time, the bodies of his wife and daughter were already seriously decomposed. And what made the man suffer to the extreme, and what made him completely collapse was that, judging from the various frightening traces left by the corpses, they were brutally tortured for at least twenty days before their deaths, and both of them were violated......

The thing that committed this heinous crime is a demon.

Not even children under the age of 10!

And this horrific incident gave the ruined temple a new name, and since then, it has been called the Temple of Corpses.

However, this terrible event was only the beginning of all the horrors that followed.
