Chapter 35: Fushi Village: The Strange Lake

Back in the courtyard, Chen Ling saw the head teacher's sad look, and knew that the person had not been found.

Chen Ling is also very distressed, there is a person in the class who is missing, which is definitely a stain that cannot be washed away in this life for the school and teachers, and more importantly, if he disappears here, he doesn't know what danger he will encounter.

If he didn't know that there were runemasters and ghosts in this world, maybe this time he would just help find someone and be done, but now that he has his own responsibility, then he will go all out to save those in danger.

"Liu Ying's age is not too young, she may have accidentally lost her way, we will look for her again in the afternoon, maybe we can find her." The driver comforted from the side.

Although they knew that this was just a comforting word, everyone tacitly did not speak.

Until...... Two days later.

The atmosphere in the courtyard became more and more solemn, and in two days, they lost seven more people, including Liu Ying, there were already eight!

And every time it was still there before going to bed at night, and it was gone early the next morning.

They had no intention of giving up, but the people seemed to have disappeared out of thin air, and no matter how they searched, even if the range expanded to a few hundred meters outside the village, they still didn't find anything.

The sun in the sky baked the village, and the sound echoed in the ears, and a group of people sat in the courtyard in a dull manner, one by one, like lifeless dolls, sitting there decadently, saying nothing, doing nothing.

Chen Lingyou thought about calling the police, but there was no electricity in this village, so their mobile phones were turned off a day ago, and now that there is a signal, it is impossible for them to contact outsiders.

In other words, they are completely trapped here.

"It's too late for you to leave, and if it's too late, I'm afraid you won't be able to get out." The old man appeared in the courtyard at some point.

For his elusive scares, everyone has long been surprised.

"But our classmates haven't been found yet." One of them said, "We're not going to leave them here." ”

"You don't like to go, anyway, the time is coming soon, and it's too late to regret it." The old man snorted and walked slowly into the distance with his hands behind his back.

The rickety back swayed from side to side with the amplitude of walking, and Chen Ling looked at the old man's back as he walked away, and always felt that what he said before was very wrong.

In other words, since they came here, it seems that this old man has been talking to them the most, and he has been persuading them to leave, and he has been not emphasizing that time is running out. Chen Ling really wanted to ask, what time is running out? Does this have anything to do with the disappearance of other people?

And since he came here, the identity talisman has been hot, but in the past few days, there has been no reaction from his talisman paper.

"I'm really fed up!"

An angry roar interrupted Chen Ling's train of thought, he raised his head, and saw the driver's face angry, "If you still want to die here, then you can continue to stay here, anyway, I won't stay in this ghost place anymore!" ”

The driver shook his hand and walked quickly towards the courtyard, and the head teacher hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, "Master, you can't go, what will we do if you leave?" And there are so many students here. ”

"What's your business with me? Get out of the way! I'm leaving now! The driver irritably waved away the head teacher and walked quickly out of the yard.

"Ah," the head teacher took a few steps back, kicked his foot, and fell backwards uncontrollably.

"Teacher!" Chu Heng held the head teacher's body, looked at her with concern, and asked, "Teacher, are you okay?" ”

The head teacher shook his head, held on to his injured leg, and looked at the place where the driver had left in distress.

"Teacher, we can't leave other students behind, and we don't have to rely on others." Chen Ling walked over and looked at the head teacher with a firm expression, "I'll look outside the village in a while to see if I can find any traces of those missing classmates." ”

"I'll go with you." Chu Heng said.

Chen Ling shook his head, "No need, I'll just go around the neighborhood and come back in a while." And my sister taught me a little self-defense, and I'll be fine. ”

“…… Then you be careful, no matter what you find, safety first. The head teacher said worriedly.

Chen Ling nodded, turned around and left the courtyard.

The village was as quiet as ever, there was not even a single animal to be seen on the road, and Chen Ling walked alone in the middle of the road, thinking about what had happened in the past few days.

Out of the village, Chen Ling saw the school bus not far from the entrance of the village, and he was a little puzzled, "How can the driver not drive the school bus away when he leaves?" ”

Chen Ling walked over, stepped on the pedal and looked in from the window a few times, then jumped down and looked at the school bus in confusion, could it be that he kindly left the school bus to them? But in that case, how is the driver going to leave?

With a lot of doubts, Chen Ling walked towards the same path they had taken when they came here.

After walking for a while, an old tree and a river came into view, and this was the way they came.

The old tree stood alone, and the river was opposite. The river formed a small lake about a hundred meters away from the village, and Chen Ling approached and found nothing unusual.

He remembered that when they came, they saw something floating on the river, but now that they saw that there was nothing?

Chen Ling squatted down and looked at the calm lake, and suddenly reached into the lake.

"It's so cool!"

As soon as he came into contact with the water here, Chen Ling retracted his hand from the freezer.

"Now the sky is not cold, hot is not hot, why is the water in this lake so cold?" Chen Linghu was suspicious of the lake water, and tried to put his hand in it again, just like just now, the water here was frozen and he trembled.

Chen Ling carefully looked at the lake.

The breeze blew, the calm lake water stirred up a circle of ripples, and the image in the lake began to distort, looking at it, Chen Ling felt in a trance that the person in it did not seem to be himself.

But when he looked closely, it was indeed him.

Chen Ling followed the demon like this, squatting by the lake and looking at his reflection, until the identity charm in his pocket was so hot that he couldn't stand it anymore that he came back to his senses.

Chen Ling got up suddenly, looking at the lake with palpitations.

He was almost stuck here just now, but fortunately, the reaction of the rune paper pulled him back in time.

Chen Ling took out the talisman paper and looked at the blue identity talisman that glowed faintly, his heart was full of joy.

He couldn't see the subtlety here, but the identity charm could feel it, if the identity charm hadn't been reminded in time just now, would he be in danger?

Chen Ling didn't dare to look at the lake anymore, he looked around casually, and quickly turned around and ran towards the village, until he was about to return to the courtyard, he was completely relaxed, adjusted his breathing, and walked into the courtyard.
