Say goodbye to Director Lei, someone has sent me the equipment that Director Lei has prepared for me.

I didn't know what some of the equipment was for, so it took me another half an hour to explain it to me.

After that, a police car took me and Meng Xiang to Nanchuan County.

I sat in the back seat with Meng Xiang, not caring what the two police officers in front of me thought of us, Meng Xiang snuggled in my arms, I held her back shoulder with one hand, and held her hand with the other.

Neither of them spoke, and at this time of life and death, it seemed that whatever they said became superfluous.

When we arrived in Nanchuan County, it was already more than one o'clock at noon, and the chief of the Nanchuan County Police Bureau personally greeted us, first took us to find a place to eat, and then handed me a high-power police motorcycle.

The sub-bureau chief accompanied me and Meng Xiang and a few people, and went straight to the road leading to Ziyunshan Town. As soon as Fang left Nanchuan County, he saw more than a dozen police officers blocking the road.

I hugged Meng Xiang tightly, nodded goodbye to the others, and then started the motorcycle, and in the eyes of everyone, with a tragic psychology of "the strong man is gone", he crossed the checkpoint and drove forward.

I knew that Meng Xiang's eyes must be full of tears at this moment, so I didn't dare to look back at her more.

It is more than 50 kilometers from Nanchuan County to Ziyunshan Town, and it can be reached in less than an hour at the speed of this high-power motorcycle.

This road originally only led to Ziyun Mountain Town, so there were not many vehicles on the road, and in the first ten minutes, I didn't see a single figure, let alone a car.

However, more than ten minutes later, I first saw a figure lying on the side of the road, and judging by his dress, it should be a nearby mountain man.

I jumped off the motorcycle to check, and sure enough, the man was breathing normally, but he was asleep. Looking at the direction in which he fell, it was towards Ziyun Mountain Town.

I got back on my motorbike and had just turned a corner down the road when I saw a police car parked on the side of the road.

I stopped the motorcycle again to inspect it, and saw three police officers in police uniforms in the car, and two ordinary people in ordinary clothes, all five of whom were asleep with their eyes closed.

Naturally, after Director Lei made a phone call early in the morning, the Nanchuan County Police Department arranged for them to come over to investigate the situation.

Presumably they saw two sleeping people on the road, so they carried them to the car and prepared to take them back to Nanchuan County for diagnosis and treatment.

But unexpectedly, after such a delay, they could not go far by themselves, and they fell asleep and fell asleep.

I made a phone call to Director Lei and told him that the police car that had been arranged early in the morning was indeed parked on the side of the road, and all the officers in the car were sleepy, so no one should be called in to investigate and provide support.

"Are you showing any signs of sleepiness right now?" Director Lei asked me worriedly.

"No, I'm sober!" I replied.

Director Lei breathed a sigh of relief and told me to be careful and to keep in touch before hanging up the phone.

This morning, I listened to a recording of a report from several police officers who had mentioned that there was a bus ahead. In fact, the bus was hundreds of meters away from the police car, and all the passengers on it were also asleep.

On the next part of the road, I saw two more cars heading for Ziyunshan Town, and the people in the cars were naturally asleep.

But there were no more pedestrians lying on the side of the road, and it was estimated that the people in the town had already fallen asleep, and it was impossible for anyone to go out of the town again. And if the people outside the town had walked so far, they would have fallen into a deep sleep.

The last Fangjiaao sleeping incident involved only the area around Fangjiaao, but this time it was nearly 20 kilometers away from the town from the place where the first pedestrian was lying down.

Director Lei's concern that the helicopter will be affected does not seem to be unfounded.

Soon after arriving at Ziyun Mountain Town, the entire town was even more deadly silent, without any signs of activity or the slightest sound. There was not even the sound of chickens and dogs chirping, birds and flying squirrels scurrying.

This situation was really more disturbing than walking alone in the middle of the night, and I even had the urge to turn around and flee back to Nanchuan.

Of course, I didn't really run away, but continued along the road until I crossed the town and came to the front of the unopened mall.

Opposite the mall is the town government compound, but there is no half of the person in the compound.

The mall shutter was closed on the ground, and it was not easy for me to enter.

Luckily, there is a large glass wall on the second floor of the mall, so I walked around the town to check for signs of human activity and to find tools to climb.

Of course, I couldn't have found signs of human activity, but I found a long wooden pole behind a small private building.

I came back with this long wooden pole, smashed the glass wall on the second floor of the mall with the wooden pole, leaned the wooden pole against the broken glass wall, and then climbed upstairs along the wooden pole.

This action is not easy because the wooden pole will roll from side to side.

So I struggled to climb the pole to the level of the second floor.

But before I could climb into the broken window, I was so shocked by what I saw that I almost let go and fell straight from the pole.

It was still early, and there was a large glass wall on the second floor, so I could see the situation inside the building clearly after a glance.

I thought everyone was sleeping, but the first thing I saw was the statue of a naked woman standing naked in the center of the room. And in front of the statue of the naked woman, there was an old woman in black standing upright.

I couldn't help but let out a horrified exclamation!

The pole was already unstable, and I panicked so much that the end of the pole on the window immediately began to roll.

I subconsciously clung to the pole, and as the pole rolled, my whole body hung under the pole.

Luckily, after just a slight roll, the pole got stuck somewhere, and I tried to move, but I didn't see the pole roll again.

So I mustered up the courage to hang under the pole, tried to climb to the top of the pole a few more times, and then grabbed the pole with one hand, turned around, and the other hand was quickly stretched out, and finally it was under the frame of the broken window.

Luckily, there was no broken glass under the window frame, and my hand was intact.

I threw away the pole, put my hands on the window frame, and looked into the window again.

I was not mistaken, in front of the statue of the naked woman, there was indeed an old woman dressed in black.

With her wide black clothes and gray hair, she really looks like the old woman I have repeatedly met and is called "Mother-in-law in the way" by Uncle Zhang.

I don't believe that there are gods in the world, but this old woman is unbelievable, if there are no gods in the world, then what kind of existence will she be?

"You, you...... Who exactly? Why are you here? I stammered, not daring to climb into the window.

The old woman turned a deaf ear to my questioning, and just looked quietly at the statue of a naked woman standing in front of her.

I couldn't help but set my eyes on the nude statue.

This is the third time I've seen this statue.

The first time was when all the villagers in Fangjiaao fell into a deep sleep, and I really thought it was a living beauty, including me, a total of five men, all of whom were fascinated by this statue and were full of ugliness.

The second time I saw it, it was in this place. At that time, its color was no longer white, but white with yellow in it, and everyone would immediately recognize it as just a wooden statue when they saw it.

But today, the statue has turned white again, and if I had not been bewitched by it, if I had not been full of fear and defense, I would still be thinking that it was a living person, and I would still be fascinated and indulged.

But even though I was defensive, I didn't dare to look at the statue a few more times, but quickly turned my eyes and fixed my eyes on the old woman in black again.

The old woman remained unmoved, as if she had become a sculpture.

I took a breath and kept comforting myself in my heart: if this old woman is really the "mother-in-law who stands in the way" as Uncle Zhang said, then not only is she not evil, but on the contrary, every time she appears, she is reminding mankind that there is danger ahead, which can only prove that she is compassionate!

So I mustered up the courage to climb into the broken window, then slowly straightened up and quietly surveyed the room.

I saw five or six men and women, lying on their stomachs in front of several precision instruments that I don't know what they were used for, and the oldest of them was Expert Zhao's deputy, Expert Zhang.

I guess these are the people who are responsible for inspecting the statue at night, and more staff like Expert Zhao should have rested upstairs last night and never woke up.

As for the personnel in charge of the night shift, what means were used to do the detection, and whether the sudden "resurrection" of this statue would have something to do with their detection methods, I can't be sure for the time being.

And I don't even bother to think about it now, my attention is completely drawn to the old woman in front of me.

But my heart was full of horror, and I didn't dare to face the old woman head-on, so I could only walk lightly to the old woman's diagonal opposite and glance at her face.

The old woman kept staring at the statue of the naked woman, as if I didn't exist.

But the wrinkles on her face convinced me that she was indeed the old woman who had appeared in front of me again and again.

I am an atheist, and even though I am convinced that there are ghosts in the world, my atheistic concept has not wavered in the slightest.

Because ghosts can be explained by the theory of "brain waves".

But now, the white-haired old woman in front of me has really shattered the godless concept I have generated since I was a child.

I don't believe in God, but right now, I can't!
