The kid finally shut his mouth for the time being.

I looked at him and asked, "Do you think I took Zuo Ziteng?" ”

"No, brother, what do you mean by that? Isn't it? He looked at me inexplicably.

"Heh......" I smiled, put down my stick, and asked, "Why do you think so, and I'm also curious about one thing, what were you looking around when you went to the tea shop that day?" Can you see things that ordinary people can't see? ”

"Isn't this nonsense, otherwise how could I talk to you now? I've heard the legend of your family, and I wonder if I can't find you on this mountain, so come to your former residence. Sure enough, I was waiting...... No, brother, are you a little guilty of that, the kind of symptoms that often appear as a ghost, confusing the real world with your own soul world, just think, you are still a living person? Isn't it? That's right, I've seen a lot of this, you belong to the world and stubborn attachment, this is a disease, you have to ......"

"Shut up." I picked it up again.

"Oh......"

From Ye Yan's words, it seems that he is treating me as the noodle restaurant owner who committed suicide ten years ago. I don't know if this guy was actually able to see the ghost, but he did see something in me that no normal person should see, and that kind of thing probably happened to the weirdo I saw near the corpse temple that night.

So I asked, "What do you see in me?" ”

"It's not just you, it's all around you......" Speaking of this, his expression bared his teeth and grinned, as if he had seen a picture that made his stomach feel extremely uncomfortable, to put it bluntly, disgusting. Ye Yan stretched out his hand, pointed around me, and described: "White, floating one by one, a bit like that...... Wire worms! That's it, the one in the mantis's belly, I used to play with it when I was a kid. ”

He was not wrong.

That's what the worm venom looks like in my eyes, but why can this kid see it? If it is a lie, then where did he get the information?

"What, man, can I interject?" Ye Yan looked at the stick in my hand.

"Say, be brief, men don't be so inky."

"Ahem, that ...... I think about this question carefully, and it's very strange to ask it, do you want to say that Zuo Ziteng was not tied by you? You're not a ghost either? If what you say is true, who are you? ”

"I'm Zuo Ziteng's cousin, my name is Zoraku."

"Cousin? Really human? Ye Yan looked confused, and glanced up and down at me several times, "No, if you are really human, you are full of insects, then you are evil!" ”

Although the expression is exaggerated, I always feel that it is not pretending.

I can't think of why he can see insect venom with his eyes, and I guess he can't say it himself. So I put these questions aside for a moment and asked instead, "Tell me what happened after Sakoteng was attacked that day." ”

"That day, you fell from the sky...... Oh yes, it's not you. Hey, but don't say it, after you said it wasn't you, I took a closer look, and your silhouette was indeed a lot bigger than the thing that knocked down my buddy that day. He gestured for a moment and continued: "Zuo Ziteng was pounced, I will go to save it, I can not only see with my eyes, but also occasionally touch those ghosts or something, innate." But that guy is too strong! Shake me off in a few clicks! We tossed and turned, and finally, I pulled Sako away, and then we both ran, but it seems that we ran in the wrong direction, and we kept wandering around in the mountains, and then we ran away. That thing seemed to be on me, chasing me all the way, chasing me to a cliff! ”

"Cliffs?" I looked at him curiously and asked, "Then how did you get out in the end?" ”

"I jumped, and then I got out."

When he said that he jumped off the cliff, this kid's expression was extremely calm and natural.

I think he's lying.

"How the hell did you get out, or rather, are you lying to me, and what happened after that?"

He hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I'm really not lying, I can't beat you, you mess, how dare I lie to you." Besides, jumping off a cliff to get out is normal. As we all know, jumping off a cliff is an extremely beneficial activity for the protagonist's physical and mental health, and he usually can't die, with good luck and adventures......"

"Heh......" I stood up and walked over to him, a pair of hands on his shoulders.

His neck retreated, but his strength was too small to break free, and his expression was distorted, "Hey, hey, hey, can you stay away from me!" I'm not lying, you see my back, my clothes are still broken that day on the branches, and the skin is torn! ”

I pressed his head and took a look, and sure enough, the underside of his clothes was torn open, and there were wounds on his skin, which really looked like they had been scratched by a tree branch.

"That day I fell down and hung on a tree branch, and it took me a long time to get down. After that, I was looking for Zuo Ziteng in the mountains, such a big mountain, where did I go up, I searched for a long time, and I felt that it was not necessary to find Zuo Ziteng if I went down to find it, and I starved to death 100%. And that monster is chasing me, maybe Sako Teng will go back sooner. So I looked for the way down the mountain, and around noon, I went back to the homestay. But I didn't expect that guy to really not come back......"

I just let him go, but he didn't finish his words, "I saw that no one came back, so I was stunned at the time, could it be that we went apart?" It's okay to split up, don't let that monster grab or something. I told my buddy to call the police, and then I went to the mountains to look for it. I walked around the ruined temple, there was no clue, and I walked around the mountain several times, and I found it...... Then I thought, they all say that you can hear crying and laughter near this house at night, so I'll come and squat for a while, and just a few minutes after you come, you will come down. ”

"You told them to call the police?" I wondered.

"That's right, isn't there something wrong with not calling the police?"

I sat down, "But your friend left overnight, and the B&B has already checked out." In addition, the matter of calling the police was only going this morning, and it was his father. ”

"Ran away??" Ye Yan's eyes widened, as if he was very annoyed, stood up and turned around, and asked me, "Then I didn't lose my luggage, right?" Is the payment clear? Didn't you run away without paying? Bastard, fuck it! ”

Well......

I felt like I had a problem.

My initial impression of this kid was probably not wrong, this is a second fool.

"Follow me up the mountain." I pulled him up.

"What?"

"Find someone."

"It's not that I've been looking for days, I must not be able to wait for anyone, I think, we should be guarding here, maybe the ghost of the noodle shop owner will ......"

I interrupted him, "I don't know if the owner of the noodle shop has a ghost, but I probably know where the thing that took Sakoteng was taken." ”

"Huh?"

……

Ye Yan and I went to the bottom of the mountain, near the corpse temple, and it was already four o'clock in the afternoon.

On the way, I asked Ye Yan another question, about the entrance and exit of the murderous mansion. When we left, we didn't go through the main entrance, it was a secret passage that Ye Yan came into, connecting to the lawn not far from the noodle shop owner's murderous house, which was usually covered by a boxy stone for resting.

Ye Yan said that the entrance and exit was still told to him by Zuo Ziteng, saying that many people in the town knew it. But why it exists, I'm afraid I can only ask the owner of the noodle restaurant who died in the first place.

"But brother, why do you have so many bugs on you?" Ye Yan kept his distance from me, and when I asked him if he was scared, he explained that he just felt disgusting.

"I can't say a word, and it has nothing to do with you."

"Is it infectious?" He asked.

"Contagious, but ......" is also strange to say, the insect venom in the Moshan cave will actively invade outsiders. But what I have in my body will only get infected because it flows into the wound or is swallowed, "most of the time it doesn't." ”

"Well, I'd better stay away from you......"

"Do you remember that day, when you were running around in the mountains that day, you finally reported to the group and waited for the place where it was dawn?" I asked.

"Then how do I remember, it's too dark...... If you think about it and try to find it, you might find it. How? Ye Yan was curious.

Actually, I'm guessing.

When they first spotted the monster near the Temple of Corpses that day, it quickly disappeared into the darkness. Ye Yan also said that the other party had a lot of strength, chasing him and Zuo Ziteng to flee in all directions, if the strength was enough to easily deal with these two young men, then if you wanted to hurt them, there was no need to disappear when you were in the corpse temple.

The thing was just running away, and it didn't seem to want to be seen.

And the second time I met, it was a few people waiting for dawn, and at first the low roar of the monster was around, continuous, but it didn't get closer.

Why?

I was going to hide before, but now I have to stay around all the time?

Perhaps, it was the place where Sako Teng and the others stayed, and it was the place where the monster really wanted to go. They didn't leave for a long time, and when they finally angered the monsters, they attacked them.

“…… So, if you go to that place, you should find some new clues, and perhaps, maybe find the monster's lair. ”

"That's really the case, I knew I would go there and find it directly!" Ye Yan slapped his thigh.

I was curious and asked, "Aren't you afraid?" ”

"Afraid of what?"

"Monsters."

"I've been used to seeing it since I was a child, so I don't have anything to fear."

Interesting guy.

I didn't continue to ask, and began to go up the mountain under the leadership of Ye Yan.

But this walk, it went straight to the dark, and it felt like the time was almost nine to ten o'clock in the night. We found a place in the woods and sat down to rest.

Once again, I changed my judgment about this guy.

It's boring, it's just a fool.

"No, big brother, don't look at me like that, I've said it, I can't remember, this thing is in the middle of the night, who has such a good brain, you just let me go down the mountain now, I'm struggling!"

I sighed, looked at the night sky, and said helplessly: "The people who were present at the time, one more person here, I'm afraid it will be more useful than you." ”

"It's not big brother, it's too much for you to talk like this! Don't you know what that sentence says, things gather like people, people divide into groups! We are these things...... No, we all have something in common! When I came that day, just your brother, who has lived in this small town for so many years, couldn't even find the small ruined temple at the foot of the mountain! If we hadn't had that little girl to lead the way, we'd have lost our way down the hill. ”

I frowned, "What did you say?" ”

"To tell you the truth, whether your brother is a road idiot or not, you don't know?"

I waved my hand, "That's not what I mean. You say, it was Li Yue who led the way when he went to the broken temple that day? ”

"yes, she brought it, there's a problem?"

Big problem.
