Chapter 39: Uncle Chen's Identity
The doctor's words were so shocking that Sister Yang and I were stunned and didn't know how to react, and it took me a few minutes before I recovered from the shock.
"You, why do you think that? Is there any basis for this? ”
The doctor shook his head, "No, I said it, that's just a guess on my part, but it's a little weird. ”
"Huh? Odd? What do you think of? I asked.
"Don't you think it's strange that there are so many people in the town, but so far they seem to be relatively normal, only the old man who is the shopkeeper and the coffin shop?" The doctor's tone was very strange, as if he meant something, so I asked him, "Do you mean that one of the two of them is the culprit who made the ancient town what it is now?" ”
The doctor shook his head: "Not necessarily, but these two people must know something very crucial, otherwise they would not be able to stay in the ancient town unharmed." ”
Speaking of this, the doctor suddenly looked at Sister Yang and asked, "You just asked us to leave the ancient town quickly, and we won't be able to leave when it's too late, why did you say that at that time?" Did you know that the ancient town would be locked down? ”
The doctor didn't mention it, he mentioned it, I also thought about it, and at that time I felt that Sister Yang's reaction was not normal, even if she now believed in the legend about the ancient town, at most she only knew that there were zombies infested in the ancient town, and what she said to us at that time was: 'If it's late, you can't leave', this tone is obviously knowing that there will be an inevitable event that will happen soon, and the occurrence of this incident will cause us to be unable to leave the ancient town, so she will say that we can't leave the ancient town if it's late.
But if there are just zombies, then encountering zombies is a probability event, maybe we will encounter it, maybe not, then we also have a probability of leaving the ancient town, so it seems very abnormal if Sister Yang is sure that she will not be able to leave if she is late.
Thinking of this, I also looked at her and asked puzzledly, "Yes, Sister Yang, do you have anything missing?" ”
After being reminded by us, Sister Yang also reacted, "Oh, I was so emotional just now, if you hadn't reminded me, I would have almost forgotten." ”
The doctor and I glanced at each other, and suddenly felt that Sister Yang's reaction at this time was very fake, but before we could think about it, Sister Yang went on to explain: "The reason why I was so nervous to leave just now was actually because I heard you say that Boss Li is missing. ”
"Boss Li is missing? Does this have anything to do with not being able to leave the ancient town? ”
"Yes, and it matters!" Sister Yang nodded and continued: "I also told you before, originally I was not responsible for the route this time, and after the colleague who usually had conflicts with me told the story, I set off the next day. At that time, she was still persuading me, saying that if the line went, it would not come back, and I ignored her. ”
When she said this, Sister Yang's face showed a deep sense of shame and sadness, obviously thinking of those two colleagues who were opposites.
We didn't bother her either, she sighed and continued: "After leaving, according to the plan, in the first two days, I received most of the group members, leaving Luo Yi and the three of you and Wang Xi, a couple who had already arrived in southern Hunan. So we rushed straight to the place where Shonan would meet, and on the way, the colleague who persuaded me sent me a lot of messages, most of which urged me to give up, and revealed some secret information to me. ”
In fact, under her successive persuasions, I began to have doubts in my heart, and then the news she told me made me even more shaken. However, at that time, we were all about to arrive at Huihedi, and if we went back at this time, we would inevitably have to bear a lot of compensation and company penalties, and we might even be fired for it. Considering the serious consequences, I decided to grit my teeth and finish the trip. ”
Hearing this, I immediately came to my senses and asked her, "Is it because of the news that you just reacted like that?" What kind of news is it, you can tell us quickly, maybe that's the key. ”
Sister Yang nodded, and then said: "Actually, it's not news, it's just a few warnings. ”
Warn? I was shocked, and suddenly remembered the three pieces of advice that the old man in the coffin shop gave us.
No one interjected, and Sister Yang did not pause, and continued: "My colleague is actually the niece of a senior executive of the company, and the mystery of the ancient town is said to have been told to her by her uncle......"
In the rest of the time, Sister Yang said those warnings, and I was very nervous, what came out of Sister Yang's mouth would be the same as what we learned from the old man in the coffin shop. However, what relieved me was that until Sister Yang finished speaking, there was no one that was the same.
What Sister Yang said was not so much a warning, but a taboo and intimidation, because even when I heard it, I felt a shudder.
There are a total of five warnings, which are similar to the tone of the old man in the coffin shop when he gave us advice, all of them are ambiguous and ambiguous, which makes people have countless doubts in their hearts after listening to them.
This first is to say that after entering the ancient town, especially at night, no matter what kind of weird things you see, don't make a fuss, let alone take the initiative to provoke. Second, when you perceive that your situation is not good, you must not try to escape, otherwise you will lose the last shred of life; Thirdly, if someone is found missing, every effort must be made to find it, and no one must die in the town; Fourth, no matter what happens, as long as it is not yet dawn, you must not leave the inn; Fifth, if you want to leave, you must either have an accident happen, otherwise you must find the eye of yin and yang, and if you want to live, you must die.
Sister Yang told us that these five warnings were left by the only female photography enthusiast who fled the ancient town and returned to the company in the three waves, which was strange and inexplicable, and Sister Yang felt a chill in her back when she saw these five warnings.
After listening to her narration, we finally knew why she suddenly asked us to leave, and the fifth warning clearly gave the way to leave the ancient town, either leave before the accident, and once the accident happened, we couldn't leave.
Sister Yang probably also heard our words, knowing that Boss Li was missing, Uncle Chen was poisoned, and she herself saw the zombies with her own eyes, if this is not an accident, there is really no accident, no wonder she is in a hurry to let go. It's a pity that she said this too late, but even if she said it in advance, no one in this car would believe it, and when it comes to accidents, I'm afraid it happened from the first night we came here, and it happened to me.
It's too late to say anything now, the accident happened, the ancient town has been blocked, and the plan now is to immediately find the eye of yin and yang in the fifth warning.
I said what I thought, and I plan to disperse everyone early tomorrow morning to find the so-called Yin and Yang Eye, although we don't know what it is, but the place where we can leave, there is always something different, we just need to look for strange things.
However, what I didn't expect was that Sister Chen shook her head with a strange face, "Now that someone is missing, we should find someone first, and then find a way to get there, and the warning also said that people must not be allowed to die in the town, if Boss Li dies, I don't know what terrible things will happen?" ”
The doctor nodded and spoke: "Boss Li disappeared strangely, leaving almost no traces, and I don't know if he is dead, in fact, there is no conflict between finding people and finding the way, anyway, we have no clues for the two things, the same is to find, it can be carried out at the same time, what I am worried about now is the second one." As he spoke, the doctor looked at me with a solemn expression, "Doctor, second, except for Sister Yang and Uncle Chen, all of us have already offended." ”
My heart jumped suddenly, and my heart said yes, we had already touched the second one when we had crossed the stone bridge in the morning, and everyone except for Sister Yang and Uncle Chen, who were unconscious, went to the stone bridge, and so on...... Could it be that what we experience after crossing the space barrier will cause us to suffer some kind of very terrible consequences?
Uneasiness suddenly came to my heart, and my face suddenly became a little ugly. The conversation with Sister Yang lasted until more than eleven o'clock, and the doctor hadn't rested much since last night, so I was worried that he wouldn't be able to stay up, so I let him rest. Sister Yang was in a coma for a day and a night, and when she woke up, she was in good spirits, so she changed to the two of us to keep vigil.
Coincidentally, at about three o'clock in the morning, I felt that my eyelids were a little unbearable, so I got up and paced around the room, and unexpectedly saw a very worn bag hanging from the back of the bed. I felt very strange, because the bag that Chen Bo was carrying when he was in the car was not like this, it seemed that it might be in a backpack, my curiosity was hooked, and when I looked closer, I suddenly found that the back of the rag bag was a very mysterious-looking five-element gossip diagram.
I was immediately taken aback, and I didn't care about any privacy, so I took off the cloth bag from the bedside, looked at it carefully, and untied the rope on it. When I saw what was inside, Rao was already prepared, and my mouth opened wide in shock. I saw that this yellowed rag bag contained many strange things: compass, gossip, ink fountain, peach wood sword, yellow talisman, cinnabar and other things, and many I didn't know, even more complete than the equipment of the eight-character bearded fake Taoist priest who was robbed by the Taoist priest at Lin Qiaoer's house.
Uncle Chen's previous behavior was very strange, and we were also wary of him, but after he was poisoned last night, the doctor and I didn't pay much attention to this old man, but we never expected that he was also a Taoist priest. Judging by this outfit, this guy shouldn't be a fake, but I don't know what his purpose is in the city.
I found a Taoist priest in the team, and I was in a good mood, the ancient town was weird, and there were zombies, and now we also have a Taoist priest here, doesn't that mean that you don't have to worry about the threat of zombies anymore? However, after thinking about it, I felt that it was wrong, since the old man was a Taoist priest, but he still fell into the Tao last night, which means that the thing that attacked us was more powerful than Uncle Chen, so he fucking also got a plane, and even Uncle Chen, who was a Taoist priest, couldn't deal with it, if we people ran into that thing, wouldn't we have to finish the game immediately?
