This is exactly what I thought, but how is this possible, obviously I have seen Duan Jiaming before, how could he die here, and from the time he left the painting, to leave these clues, it was a long time ago, if he died at that time, then who did I see, if he died here later, then why could he lay down such a document so early, and there was no deviation in the slightest?

Either of the two conclusions is a bit incredible.

Although I thought it was incredible, I didn't refute it, because I had already experienced too many strange things along the way, and I asked you Wang Zhexuan, "Since you are sure that the body we are looking for is Duan Jiaming, where is he?" ”

And Wang Zhexuan looked at me, and he said, "I'm going to ask you." ”

I was shocked, I didn't understand what Wang Zhexuan was talking about, I asked, "Ask me?" ”

Wang Zhexuan said, "The current situation is that only you can find his body, so how to find it, do you already have a clue?" ”

I shook my head and said, "I'm feeling like I'm having a lot of thoughts right now, I don't have a clue at all." ”

Wang Zhexuan said, "A hint has been given here, but no clues can be found, it should be said that it is not that the clues cannot be found, but that you have not linked the clues, He Yang, think about it carefully, have you ignored anything?" ”

I muttered, "What did you overlook?" ”

The only special impression I have of this village is this painting, and Duan Jiaming lived here, which is also the mystery I left in my heart when I first came into contact with this village, so when I first entered this village, on the surface, Zhang Ziang took me to find some clues, but in fact, it made me know the existence of this village, and even left an impression on me, that is to say, he knew that in the future, I would come to this village before Sanlian Town no matter what, so these impressions left at that time were the clues that I wanted to find the current mystery.

I won't explore the intention behind Zhang Ziang for the time being, but there are only these two impressions left at that time, so what will I ignore and what secrets are there in this village?

I couldn't figure out anything after thinking about it for a long time, so I said, "Why don't we look around the village again, and there's no clue." ”

said so, but I had no bottom in my heart, but after thinking of Duan Jiaming, a picture suddenly appeared in my heart, that is, I disappeared in Hexi Village for seven days, although I forgot many memories in the middle, but later with the re-visit to Hexi Village, some vague memories still remembered some, I remember where I seemed to have seen Duan Jiaming at that time, and I still remember that I stayed in a room, but this room is a little special, the whole house is empty except for the shelves of the house.

That's the picture, so I stopped, and I said, "This village should have an empty house with only wooden frames, maybe the clue is in this house." ”

Team Nie didn't hesitate at all when they heard this, and said, "Then let's go and find it separately." ”

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, we were divided into two teams, Zhang Ziang and I, Nie and Hu Hai, and the two of them took care of each other, so that nothing would happen and there would be no time to rescue, after all, in such a place, it is better to be careful.

The room was easier to find, and when we found it, when we went inside, it felt very familiar, as if it was exactly the same as when I entered it. It was empty, only the wooden shelves that supported the house, and nothing else, and being in it gave people the feeling of inexplicable depression and suffocation.

The opposite of being in an empty room, where does this surprise and suffocation come from? I said, "The body is in this room." ”

Everyone was silent, although I said that the body was in this room, but where was it? This is another difficult problem, we can't always tear down the whole house, dig up the whole house and look at it, this is not realistic, there is no specific clue, it will only cause more trouble, so where is this specific clue?

Generally speaking, since it is a corpse, then it will be buried in the ground, this is the first reaction of people, plus there is only an outer wall here, and the width of the outer wall is difficult to hide the corpse inside without being found, plus the rain washes out, the wear and erosion of the outer wall is also more serious, so it is only more likely to be underground, so where is it underneath?

I carefully recalled that vague memory in my mind, I remember that there was a scene where I had been squatting in a certain place in the house, and it seemed that Duan Jiaming was near me at that time, could it be that the place where I was squatting at that time was near the place where Duan Jiaming's body was buried?

It's just that I wasn't sure where it was, so I crouched down all over the room trying to find that feeling, and I tried in many places, but it didn't feel that way.

When I moved my position a little bit, and finally was on the edge of the middle wall, I had just squatted down, and suddenly there was a feeling that Duan Jiaming was looking at me next to me, and this feeling happened suddenly, like a feeling bursting out from the depths of memory, and as if he was really looking at me.

I said, "This is it!" ”

I pointed to a nearby place and I said, "The body is down here." ”

So then I started excavating, digging down about fifty centimeters, and I really dug something, it was a stone stele, this feeling was the same as my feeling in the Haiquan Cemetery, after the stone tablet was dug out in one piece, I opened it, and I saw that below was a corpse that had completely decomposed the skeleton of the god, because the closed and humid environment still had a foul smell.

The corpse has become a skeleton, and it is naturally impossible to identify who it is, but it does not mean that it cannot be recognized. We found documents and some things on his body, all pointing to this person as Duan Jiaming.

And beside him, he also found a cloth bag that seemed to be deliberately placed next to his head, sealed with oil-soaked brown paper, and when opened, inside was a palm-sized notebook, all handwritten, more like a diary.

And judging from the content revealed in the diary, this person is indeed Duan Jiaming.

As for the large contents of the diary, it records some of his daily life in this village, but this is only a small part, because most of the contents of the diary are related to me, that is, this diary records the records of my life here.

And judging from the date of the diary, it is consistent with my age, so now I have basically confirmed that my age is not a problem, otherwise it would not be so accurate to the diary.

However, a page was torn off from the diary, and this diary was only half a page, which was his last diary, and the date on it was April 6, 1994, and this time was when I was one year old, and coincidentally, when He Baihua appeared in the village of Shanshi with the so-called me, it was April 6, 1995, when I just turned two years old, how could these two times be so coincidental, why were they both when I was one and two years old?

As for the contents of the diary, it records that he noticed that the village was becoming more and more abnormal, as if someone had entered the village and had been monitoring his every move, but he looked around and found no trace of human presence. The content of the back was completely torn out, and as for what was recorded in the back, it is completely unknown, and this is his last diary, so it can basically be concluded that what did happen later, so what happened?

Team Nie said, "Is it just a coincidence that the team of 121 people completely disappeared on April 6, 1993, and your birthday was also on that day? ”

This is definitely not a coincidence, it's just that the team disappeared in Mountain City at that time, and this is Haishi, and that place is completely on the diagonal of the two cities, which can be described as unrelated, Nie Team said, "Anyway, you are definitely related to this matter, and now Duan Jiaming's corpse and diary are proving this." ”

But the most critical question has not been solved, how did Duan Jiaming die, and what happened later?

Hu Hai examined Duan Jiaming's body and said, "Look at his bones, there is a layer of gray crystalline material on the surface. ”

When I looked over, I saw a gray layer of salt frost on the bones of the corpse, which at first glance looked like mold, but when I looked closely, I realized that it was gray crystals. I asked, "What is this?" ”

Team Nie said unhurriedly, "This kind of thing, we have found it on Zou Linhai's body, but it is very small, and it was almost ignored. ”

I looked at Team Nie again and asked, "What is this?" ”

"We have analyzed this thing, it is like a stable crystal structure, the composition is uncertain for the time being, a bit like glass is harmless to people, but this thing will dissolve in the blood, and after dissolving into the blood, it will form a highly toxic substance, just like the situation in your body." ”

I looked at Team Nie in amazement, and I understood what Team Nie was talking about, and I said, "You mean this gray crystalline substance, the kind of highly toxic substance that I have in my body?" ”

Team Nie nodded, it turned out that they had known for a long time, but they had been hiding it from me, I said, "Then speaking of which, Duan Jiaming also has this kind of thing in his body, does it mean that he and I are also in the same situation." ”

Team Nie said: "So far, it's like this. ”

I asked, "So what is it, how does it get into our bodies, and why are we okay when it's so poisonous?" ”

No one was able to answer this question at the moment, so when I asked it, everyone was silent, and I asked again, "Is this something genetic?" ”
