Seeing that the other party still refused to speak, Hu Hao said: "This is like a curse, a curse that envelops the whole village!" Sooner or later, this curse will find you and take your life. ”

"That's right! It's a curse. That's right! It's a curse. ”

When the man heard the curse, the memory that he had almost forgotten in his mind became clear again, and his whole body trembled with fear.

"I know, the other party came back to retaliate!" The man shouted in terror and broke free from his restraints and ran away.

Hu Hao looked at the figure of the other party running away, turned around and left in the opposite direction, he was going to find the village chief and ask the ins and outs of the matter.

Soon he came to Yue Yun's house and said directly to the other party: "Village Chief Yue, please tell me what happened a year ago, and why did the owner of that house die?"

"...... a year ago"

Yue Yun was silent for a moment, looked at him and asked, "Do you suspect that the death case of the people in the village is related to the incident a year ago!"

"Yes, I seriously suspect that there is a great deal of correlation between them. But whenever I asked the villagers about it, they didn't talk about it for some reason. He nodded and replied earnestly.

"Do you believe that there are gods and ghosts in this world?" Yue Yun didn't immediately talk about what happened a year ago, but asked him a question.

Hu Hao didn't expect that the existence would ask this question, but in the past, he would definitely say "I don't believe it" without hesitation!

But now that something has happened, his scientific theories have been shaken.

"If I believe, I have, and if I don't believe, I don't." Hu Hao gave the other party an ambiguous answer.

"Believe it or not, I don't believe in gods or ghosts in the world."

"Don't look at the time when I was born earlier than you, in fact, I am a person who pursues science and does not believe in feudal superstition." Yue Yun said with a smile.

Hu Hao didn't intervene to disturb Village Chief Yue, because he knew that the matter that the other party was going to talk about next must be related to this matter.

……

In the past, there was a very kind person in the village, named Yue Xingshan.

He likes to help others, and even uses his savings to help those in need without asking for anything in return.

Therefore, he had a good relationship with the people in the village, and there were never conflicts or quarrels.

In this way, Yue Xingshan became a "good helper" in everyone's eyes, and whenever the villagers had something to do at home, they would come to him.

But human nature is greedy.

After a long time, the villagers got used to his help and stopped treating each other with courtesy.

He helped everyone ten times, and once he slacked off, he was hated because everyone took his giving for granted.

Until one day, a few naughty children took advantage of the absence of their adults to secretly gather at home to play with fire.

Ignorant, they took the flame to order a drink, trying to stimulate a more powerful flame, but the drink was knocked over, and the flame spread rapidly, and soon the whole house was on fire.

Yue Xingshan, who was passing by, heard the children's cries, and rushed in without hesitation and rescued them one by one.

But there was a child who was so panicked that he was swallowed up by the flames in his foolishness, and he took the man out at will, but it was too late to save the child.

The parents who lost their child instantly blamed him and verbally abused him many times.

Although he kept apologizing, he did not get everyone's comfort, but avoided him.

Since that incident, the villagers' fingers have made him miserable, and he has been so hard working, but in exchange for so much blame, no one is willing to stand up and speak for him.

"That's the cause of the matter, do you understand?" Village Chief Yue paused and asked.

Hu Hao said he understood, and then asked, "What happened to that person later?"

"He, he committed suicide." Village Chief Yue said slowly: "He hanged himself in his house, and by the time we found out, he had been dead for a long time."

Hang oneself!

Hu Hao suddenly thought of the black shadow he had just seen through the crack in the door, and he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

"It doesn't mean suicide."

He was a little hard to believe, but if he had encountered this situation himself, at most he would not interact with those people.

"We think the same thing, but that's the way it is, it's too late to regret it." Village Chief Yue showed a regretful expression.

If I had stood up for him at that time, this might not have happened. But he didn't, but chose not to meddle and let things develop.

"Later, because this kind of thing was too ridiculous, everyone discussed and concealed it together, so that outsiders would not know about it."

"And what happened to the curse I heard from the villagers?"

"Yue Xingshan left a blood letter before he died, in which he asked the whole village to send him sacrifices on the death day every year, and kneel in front of him to sincerely repent, otherwise he would take revenge on everyone." Village Chief Yue recalled the past that he didn't want to mention again and said, "This may be a curse, his punishment for the whole village."

"Did you offer him a sacrifice this year?" What Hu Hao was most worried about still happened, and this kind of thing really can't be explained by science.

"Well, if only there were." Village Chief Yue sighed and said: "I have to send sacrifices every year, and I have to sincerely repent, how many people can take such a troublesome thing to heart."

"So the words in the blood book were not taken seriously, and everyone burned it as an ominous thing."

"So, did he kill all the victims?" Hu Hao frowned and asked.

"Officer, you should ask yourself about it, you came to ask me the cause of the incident and ask for the answer. Instead of me asking for proof answers. Yue Yun replied.

Hu Hao was speechless, he still found it hard to believe that these cases were actually done by a "dead man", and unless he saw it with his own eyes, he believed that there were really ghosts.

Assuming that Yue Xingshan's ghost really exists, then he will definitely do it, and there is a pattern.

Because he was also a normal person in his lifetime, he had a person's logical thinking, even if he is now on the road of revenge, there must be a reason for the order of killing.

"Village Chief Yue, please think about it again, contact the list of victims I gave you, and see what they all have in common!" Hu Hao pleaded.

"What do they have in common?" Yue Yun racked his brains and thought for a while and said, "People are old and useless, I really can't think of anything they have in common."

"For example, did the victim have any quarrels or excessive verbal excesses with the other party before his death, resulting in becoming the first target of the other party?" Hu Hao tried to give him tips on the side.

"Quarrels? Nope! They had a pretty good relationship with Yue Xingshan before. Yue Yun recalled.

Is it.

But since this is the case, why did Yue Xingshan's ghost kill them.

Could it be that the murderer is another ghost? On the contrary, Yue Xingshan actually came to protect them.

Phew! What the hell was I thinking, how could the plots in those movies happen. Hu Hao patted his face and asked himself not to speculate.

"Do you know why some of the victims left the village after the other person died?" Hu Hao asked again.

"Some of them are forced to make a living. And some of them don't want to stay in the village because of guilt. ”

"Like Ah Niu, Yue Xingshan was very good to them, but they didn't stand up to help speak, and they left the village one after another, away from this place of right and wrong."

After Yue Yun finished speaking, his expression suddenly froze, and he repeated a sentence, that is, "...... be very good to them."

"Good ...... for them."

"Did you find anything they had in common?" Hu Hao said in a hurry.

"Yes, I know what they have in common." Yue Yun stood up excitedly and said, "These dead people are the ones who have received the most help from Yue Xingshan."

"He must have come to punish them and make them pay the debt they once owed."

"Don't get excited, just sit down and talk slowly." Hu Hao poured him a cup of hot water.

Yue Yun talked for a long time, and finally let him understand the reason for the victim's mysterious death, that is, punishment.

Yue Xingshan's ghost blamed them for not coming out to help him, and he was afraid of them, so he resented them.

It's like when you're killed by someone else, but you don't hate the person who killed you so much, but hate the person who framed you even more.
