Yang Laohan couldn't understand what the second captain said about the werewolf in order to tease Luo Chuan, he thought about it for a while, and then told Luo Chuan and them the legend of the hungry ghost.

This legend was originally a long time ago, and it was passed down from mouth to mouth in the fog capital to this day. It is said that on the fifteenth day of each month, this misty fog will be illuminated by the moonlight. On that day, the sky will be exceptionally clear. But this month's star-sparse night is the time when hungry ghosts come out to eat people. If anyone is unlucky, they will be captured and eaten by hungry ghosts. In the early days, the people of the town would sacrifice cattle and sheep, and even had the experience of sacrificing boys and girls. It seems that by doing so, peace will be kept and evil spirits will be exorcized.

As the times changed, people saw superstitious ideas more and more clearly, and these terrible bad habits gradually became useless. Later, it was a special era, the situation was turbulent, and only this town hidden by clouds and mist escaped the war. Therefore, the people here especially cherish this peaceful life in isolation. The hungry ghost never appeared again, and the sacrificial custom was slowly abandoned.

Later, with the beginning of industrialization, ignorant people built heavy industrial factories in the vicinity, and the people of the town began to get sick and die due to the toxic exhaust gases and polluted water and air. But this town, which has had little contact with the outside world for a long time, did not attribute the cause to pollution, but began to think of the legend of the hungry ghost again. They felt that it was because the villagers had stopped sacrificing for a long time, so they were punished.

Three years ago, the inhabitants of the area had not completely moved out, and they began to plan to re-worship the ghosts, hoping to appease the anger of the hungry ghosts and make everyone who was sick here. They prepared the cattle for sacrifice, but who knew that on the night of the fifteenth day of that month, two children died in the town. Even the child's family didn't know how they died, only the corpse, which looked like it had been bitten by something, made the legend of the hungry ghost explode again.

The deterioration of the environment and the horror of the legends have forced the inhabitants to leave the place where they have lived for generations. It was also from that time that this once beautiful fog gradually turned into a dead city.

The people who still live here are scared every month because people die every month. Sometimes it is obvious that he dies of illness, but during the mortuary waiting for burial, the deceased will always lose his organs and internal organs for no reason. This made the residents of this place convinced of the story of the hungry ghosts, and they all felt that there were ghosts at work, and those internal organs were eaten by the hungry ghosts.

The people who have moved out in the past three years have almost gone, and the rest are dead. There are also three factories working in the town, where residents can go to work or pick up scrap that they can use. They don't care what the factory does, sometimes they help with some work and get some pay from the security office.

Hearing the security station, Luo Chuan couldn't help but interject and asked, "Is there still a place to maintain law and order and the law here?" If that's the case, why doesn't anyone care about the inexplicable death or loss of organs every month? ”

Yang Laohan looked around vigilantly again, and after making sure that there was no movement, he lowered his voice and said, "The sheriff here may not be the same as the police you imagine. They are in charge of those factories, and they don't know what they are doing. If they find out the cause of the deaths here, they will definitely close down those factories if they make a big fuss. You say, are they going to do that? ”

Luo Chuan's face sank when he heard this, it turned out that there were still interests involved, no wonder this place would become what it is today.

While Yang Laohan and Luo Chuan were talking, Guan Shan seemed to be attracted by the broken charcoal in Yang Laohan's two baskets. Luo Chuan also noticed that Guan Shan hadn't spoken for a long time, so he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Guan Shan's face was heavy, he took out a pair of white gloves from the bag he was carrying and put them on, then pulled Yang Laohan's basket twice, picked out a piece of black charcoal from it, looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked Yang Laohan: "Are these things you picked up from the factory?" ”

Yang Laohan nodded: "Yes, if it doesn't take long, I'll pick up some and keep it for the fire when it's cold." There are people in the factory anyway, and they don't care. ”

Guan Shan pinched the charcoal, stood up and said to Luo Chuan: "This factory burns not necessarily all coal." Luo Chuan, take a closer look, this should be a human backbone, but it is smoked black, and there are broken and damaged places, and it has been placed in the coal for a long time, and it can't be seen. ”

Yang Laohan was stupid when he heard this, his hands trembled and trembled, and said, "Oh my God, is it a hungry ghost who eats the remaining bones!" ”

The second captain was also attracted by Guan Shan's major discovery, he looked at the black bone, shook his head and said without hesitation: "It's not surprising, those sweet potato radishes outside have been dried in this ghost place for a few days and are completely black, not to mention that this bone has been mixed with coal." I think we're going to have to move, something isn't right in this place. ”

Luo Chuan didn't want to put too much pressure on Yang Laohan, so he didn't say much in front of him. I only asked the address of the factory, and then I was ready to leave the town and return to the car for the time being.

But Yang Laohan pulled Luo Chuan in a panic and said, "You either leave quickly, or don't go out." After twelve o'clock, it will be the fifteenth day of this month, and who knows if the hungry ghosts will come out to eat people! You've all seen these bones, why are you still so afraid of death? You will stay with me for a day, and then leave tomorrow at dawn. If you hear something in the middle of the night, don't be curious, just close your eyes and go to sleep! As soon as the eerie music sounded, I was afraid that there would be another dead person. ”

"Spooky music? Are you talking about moonshine? Luo Chuan regretted it as soon as he asked, this old man Yang didn't look like he knew how to make a moonlight song.

As expected, Yang Laohan waved his hand and said, "What kind of moonlight is not moonlight, when the moonlight comes out, it is time for hungry ghosts to kill." Hide, don't be so curious. ”

After speaking, Yang Laohan pushed Luo Chuan and them into a hut inside, and then closed the door and went out. This room is really a little small, Luo Chuan, the second captain, and Guan Shan all feel a little depressed inside.

However, Luo Chuan didn't care about the environment, he just squatted by the wall and said to Guan Shan: "Guan Shan, we don't have anything to confirm what you have in your hand." To confirm whether it is a human bone or not, a real laboratory test is required. ”

Guan Shan squatted beside Luo Chuan and replied in a low voice: "Although the human backbone is very similar to some animals, I feel that there is something strange about this bone hidden in the coal. It's better to let the second captain go back with this thing first, and if it is confirmed that it is a human bone, just bring someone back. ”

The second captain nodded desperately, and also gathered around and squatted on the side and said, "Although I am neither afraid of ghosts nor werewolves, it is really unbearable that it is difficult to even breathe in this broken place. We can't talk nonsense without ironclad evidence, you can't just pick up something and say that there is a murder here, right? A legend is a legend, we need proof. ”

"Where does this place govern?" Luo Chuan suddenly asked.

The second captain thought for a while and said, "According to the road when I came, I think it should be Wusong County, right?" Why don't I drop by and ask them why they don't care about this place? ”

"No, don't alarm them if you're not sure. Well, you take this thing back first, and get the test results as soon as possible. As long as it is confirmed that it is indeed a human bone, it will be generous to bring someone over. Guan Shan and I are here to see the situation. Luo Chuan finally decided to let the second captain go first.

But the second captain raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then why?" In the end, if you really find a shocking case, won't the credit be all yours? Let's go together, this place is too evil, it's dangerous for the two of you to act without permission! ”

While they were arguing, there was a faint sound of piano music outside!

Luo Chuan stood up as soon as he was excited, and whispered in his mouth: "It's this voice, it's this tune, there will be no mistake." ”

But after listening carefully, Guan Shan calmly pulled Luo Chuan and warned: "Don't act rashly, this place is empty, it's too quiet, a little sound can echo around, we don't know how far away this sound is, we can't rush out recklessly!" Also, do you think that in the harsh environment of this kind of place, there may be people who carry a piano to play? Even he couldn't! I think it's just a trick or a trap. Let the unwitting follow the sound of the piano to send them to death, and then make most people think that this is the so-called haunting. ”

"So what now? We've got to figure out where this voice came from and who controlled it, right? Luo Chuan was in a hurry, because every time this music appeared, it would bring bloody lives.

The second captain saw that Luo Chuan was in a hurry, and he was also anxious, so he opened the door and walked out with a mask. Seeing this, Luo Chuan and Guan Shan hurriedly chased them out. When I came out, I realized that the silence of this place was really eerie.

The second captain stood in the small courtyard, listening motionlessly to the movements around him. Because there are mountains around, there is no sound at all, and the fluttering piano music is very clear over and over again.

The second captain muttered and scolded: "I've caught so many bastards, but I really haven't caught a man-eating werewolf!" I have to see it today! ”

Luo Chuan wanted to stop the second captain, but who knew that he had already walked out of the door quickly. There was no way, Luo Chuan and Guan Shan had no choice but to follow. Finally went outside to grab the second captain, Luo Chuan said a little anxiously: "Aren't you sent by Director Yang to keep an eye on me?" Just in case I'm impulsive and naïve? Didn't you say that if you listen to people's advice to eat well, you have to think about it in the long run? Why do I think you are really impulsive and naïve in your current state? ”

"I didn't make you two angry! Let's hide in that room, and the air is not fresh! If I'm gone by myself now, you'll definitely have to die, so let's go and see it now! I heard this voice coming from the factory! "The temper of the second captain may not be able to wait to go back to test the human bones, since Luo Chuan is not leaving, he doesn't want to go by himself.

By this time it was already dark, and the empty city was silent, except for the sound of piano music. The sky was not covered with haze as during the day, but felt clearer, at least the moonlight could be seen.

The second captain took a few more steps forward, slipped under his feet, and sat on the ground with his buttocks. As soon as he thought about it, he was angry, but he looked at the things on the ground and was stunned.

Luo Chuan stepped forward and borrowed the flashlight to see that it was a piece of intestines.

Luo Chuan immediately looked around again, but did not find any blood droplets or dead people on the ground near the surrounding area. This intestine was deliberately thrown here.

"You really should bring Tian Zhen, preferably Xing Lao, so that they can tell me what kind of intestines this is." Luo Chuan looked at the intestines on the ground and whispered.

The second captain rubbed his aching crotch, grinned and said, "Luo Chuan, this place you came to is really a good place, first found the bones, and now the intestines." No matter what the intestines are, it's not normal for them to fall from the sky all of a sudden! And we walked through here when we came, and there was nothing strange about it. And when did this bloody intestine appear? ”

"It should be after dark." Guan Shan said as he held the plastic bag with his gloves to hold the intestines, gently pinched them twice, and said, "It's cold, and it doesn't look like it's fresh." The blood may have been done later, it wasn't something that just happened. ”

"Did someone know we were here and threw it at us on purpose?" Luo Chuan immediately thought of this possibility.

Guan Shan said: "If it is really them, then they must be able to expect that as soon as the moonlight song sounds, you will come out to find the source of the sound." ”

As soon as Guan Shan said this, the second captain shouted in a suppressed voice not far away: "Luo Chuan, come here!" We're almost at the slaughterhouse! And that's it! ”

Luo Chuan hurriedly ran over, and when he looked at the feet of the second captain, he found another piece of intestines. Compared to the previous section, this section is a little longer.

The second captain seemed to have never seen such a scene, and he ran to the front excitedly, following the few drops of blood and continuing to search. In this strange dead city, they used the moonlight and flashlight to find more than 20 intestines back and forth!

In the end, the second captain was tired, he gasped and said, "Luo Chuan, let's call someone!" I'm not a forensic doctor, but I also know common sense. A person's intestines are about five times as long as a person's. Even if you add it all up, I can count it as eight or nine meters long, right? But we've picked it up almost twenty meters now...... I can't imagine how many people there were. This place is very evil, maybe it's not as simple as one or two ghost stories, call it people! ”

Listening to the second captain's suggestion, Luo Chuan looked at the bags of intestines, and had no choice but to nod and say: "Originally, I wanted to check the clues first, but I didn't expect that the other party didn't give us a chance at all, forcing me to transfer police forces to seal the fog capital." It seems that they don't want this place anymore. They knew I was coming, they knew that Chen Xueru was dead, and I just wanted to know how he knew. ”
