Twisted Town -3
pm5:30.
It was a little darker, and Rin, who had been catching up on sleep at noon, woke up. Squinting and shaking her head in confusion, Rin put her coat on. Mo Li, who was in the other bed, was very energetic, lying on the quilt and playing with his mobile phone.
"It doesn't make sense, Xiaoli also got up before four o'clock in the morning, for Mao her spirit is so good......" Rin Mengmeng, who was still a little tired, tilted her head and thought very seriously.
"Rin, get up. Hehe, you just slept super cute!" Mo Li jumped off the bed and handed over his phone, on which was Rin's sleeping face huddled like a child holding the quilt.
"Xiaoli, have you ever heard a sentence, people won't die if they don't die!" Rin raised her eyebrows, but her sleeping face was forgotten. The point is that this guy definitely did something bad after she fell asleep! In the photo, curled up in one hand, she is holding the quilt with one hand, and the index finger of her right hand is still slightly in her mouth, as if she is dreaming of something delicious...... I can't bear it!
Under Mo Li's gaze, the photos in the phone were automatically deleted......
"I said I didn't do it, do you believe it?"
"I believe Ning likes to bask in the sun. ”
“...... I shouldn't have shown it to you. Hearing this, Mo Li pursed his lips boringly.
As for photo deletion or something...... Haha, there is a thing called a network disk, which is very easy to use!
"Okay, okay, stop making trouble, get to work!"
"Xiaoli, you go and investigate the information about that road first. Xiao Rin was dressed neatly, helped Xiao Li tidy up his crumpled clothes, and said, "I'm going to find that employer, I always feel that he is hiding a lot of things." ”
"Hmm~"
The town is not big, and it takes about ten minutes to get from this quirky inn to the center of town.
On the spacious streets, there are few passers-by.
Under the crimson sunset, it was a little cool.
When I came to the large building again, the door was closed.
Rin knocked softly on the door and waited carefully at the door. After a while, a woman in her forties took her in. In the living room, Xiao Rin saw the tall old man wearing an ink-colored robe with a somewhat fierce face.
"Sir, what's your surname?"
"My surname is Zhao, you can call me Mr. Zhao, everyone in the town calls me that. Sitting on the chair, Mr. Zhao put the cane in his hand beside him and gently stroked the jade dragon head inlaid on the top of the cane.
"Tell me, what's the matter with coming to me?"
"Well, I've been to that road today. ”
"Did you find anything, is it haunted?" Mr. Zhao's face changed and he asked aloud.
Rin looked at the somewhat abnormal old man, chuckled, and said, "Mr. Zhao is excited, why do you think it will be haunted? Maybe something else?" isn't it...... What do you know?"
"Why, you think too much. ”
"Since you can't see it, I think you can go. ”
"Don't worry, if you have a bad spirit, you usually come out at night. The yang energy during the day is too strong, and the general yin spirit can't stand it. I'm here today to find out what time period the people who witnessed the strange events are usually in. Rin waved his hand and motioned for the old man to listen to her, "Also, can you tell me about the anomalies in this town? You know, this town is not friendly. ”
"You don't have to worry about that, anyway, it's only a few days, isn't it just about getting money to do things? If you have the ability, complete my commission, and I will pay the rest, if you can't, then please leave this town, it's as simple as that. Here are some information for you to see...... If it's okay, go back. ”
After giving her a stack of materials, Mr. Zhao sent them directly to the guest.
After Rin left, the middle-aged woman came down from the upper floor. With a haze on her face, she asked in a low voice, "Let them go, the town doesn't need outsiders." Besides, if this person is really that powerful, will she find anything, and if that thing is shaken out, we won't be able to deal with it. ”
"No!"
The old man stood up and came to the window.
He looked down on the town from the tall buildings, and he habitually looked to the east of the city, which was a small hill with ruins in ruins. Those are the past, and at this moment, it is the town.
Expensive landscape plants swayed in the midnight sun, exquisite and beautiful buildings towered, and the spacious streets were neat and clean. Crowds of people walk in groups of people who walk into the well-equipped park, or play elegant music and read books at home. The child laughs, takes his mother's hand, and runs in the sunset. Laughing and listening to my mother read the story.
Ah, how wonderful!
"This is our paradise, a paradise for all of us. ”
............
pm8:30
Time flies, and night has come.
Xiao Rin left the hotel with Xiao Li and walked towards the road where he had already been there once.
I always feel that something is wrong this time.
No, not the thing itself, but all the ...... of this town. Including principals.
"Don't worry, that road is just a road after all. As they walked out of the small hotel, the old man who had been sitting in front of the cabinet said slowly. Then, he lifted his reading glasses, and he was serious and huge: "Also, remember to help me find that child." ”
"Yes, it would. ”
After reading some of the materials she had just read, Rin found that it didn't matter if there was a spooky car accident, a lost pedestrian, or a ghost. These events take place at night after the sun has gone down.
"Rin, do you think there really are ghosts here? I didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. Having been following Rin's side, Xiao Likou asked, "There is no soul position in the outdoor place, and the place where ghosts can live is either resentful or that kind of natural." But I think this road is normal, there are no signs of that?"
"Well, that's probably ...... usual."
Rin in front nodded in agreement.
"But?"
"Wait, most of the incidents happened around ten o'clock in the evening, and it's not time yet, so let's go sit on the side for a while. Rin said, pointing to the fence on the side.
"I know, I know, by the way, Rin, I just went to check, and there was a problem with the construction process of this road. ”
.........
Time passed slowly, and at nearly ten o'clock, a faint mist gradually rose on the road.
"Rin, it's a little weird!"
"Well, doesn't this feel like a ghost mist condensed by yin qi resentment?" Xiao Rin reached out when he heard this, touching the fog that was gradually increasing around him. The wind was high at night, but there was not the slightest chill around.
Calming down gives people a feeling of great tranquility.
"Xiaoli, you wait here now, I'll go in and have a look. ”
"I'm going in too, didn't Rin bring me out to learn more and see more things. ”
“...... Well, that's fine. Rin looked at her for a moment and nodded in agreement.
There is nothing special in the fog, basically like an ordinary morning mist, and the ordinary person's line of sight is only about four or five meters.
While such a hazy environment is indeed frightening, it has nothing to do with ghosts.
.........
The two were patient and spent the whole night in the fog.
Until early in the morning, the fog cleared, and the two men who had not gained anything returned to the town.
met the middle-aged man on the way, and asked a few questions, until Xiao Rin did not gain anything, and the impatience in his tone became more and more obvious. Looking at his face, if Mr. Zhao hadn't spoken yet, he would have opened his mouth to drive people away.
When he got back to the hotel, the old man was still sitting behind the old counter.
Looking at Rin, he asked very calmly, "Did you find it?"
"I'm disappointed that I didn't see you last night. ”
"Really...... Then let's go back the day after tomorrow. I'll take you to see something tomorrow that might help. ”
"Thank you very much. After Rin asked Xiao Li to go back to the room first, she sat down beside the old man by herself, looked at him and said slowly, "Do you know why this town has become the way it is?"
"Well, I know. ”
As the old man recounts, Rin gradually learns a little about the town's past.
Thirty years ago, a townsfolk who had returned from an outing decided to develop the town. Because after he went out, he found that there was a strange substance that could be produced in the mountains of the town, which was not found in the outside world. A few years passed, and under his leadership, the townspeople tasted the sweetness and followed suit.
The side effects of rapid economic development have also arisen! The increasingly affluent material life has led to the increasing spiritual exuberance of the people, and the original simple inhabitants are no longer willing to believe in gods and Buddhas. People abandon faith and start creating their own.
Gradually, a trend emerged.
Make the town a paradise!
They began to pursue money, trampling on the morals they had originally followed.
They believe that money can bring them everything!
As long as there is money, as long as there is money, human beings can create heaven!
A paradise for man.
Whether it's a wife or a child.
Whether it's health or happiness.
This paradise fulfills their wishes.
They are so convinced that everything in the world must be supported by money, and that everything without money will be replaced, conquered, and abandoned......... This is true for the town, so for the government, and so for the world!
Human beings can create heaven!
"And then?"
"That's what it is, and the town continued, and it became what it is now. ”
"It's not a good story. ”
