Chapter 40: Key Intelligence
The sudden cold made Xu Yunge not feel at ease, no one knew about Dou Xiantong's unexpected return in theory, and the cursed people didn't seem to be coming for him, I'm afraid Lao Li and they didn't know that Dou Xinwei's father had returned to his hometown.
Now Dou Xiantong has many abnormal behaviors, the relationship between him and Dou Xinwei's mother is not clear for the time being, if both parties are willing to live, divorce is very strange. But he ran into a large abandoned food factory in the middle of the night when the crickets didn't scream, and no matter how he looked at it, he felt that something was wrong here.
"Why don't you slip away tonight? Dou Xiantong's identity is very suspicious, and going back to check the information may be better than stumbling in the factory. In case he is an accomplice of the Cursed, it will not be good for me to be fished. ”
Xu Yunge touched the curse charm in his arms, he didn't take too many curse charms in the ghost market, on the one hand, because he was worried that there was something wrong with the curse charm itself. On the other hand, he is also afraid that when he loses his mind, he will abuse his power recklessly and provoke a curse on impulse, and it will be really over.
Picking up the mobile phone and clicking a few times in a row, Xu Yunge wanted to share the information he found tonight as soon as possible.
This time the situation is different from the previous one, the horror urban legend has not yet been unfolded, and the Taiping town under the mountain itself is full of problems, and the progress will be extremely slow if you only explore and investigate by yourself.
If you want to contact the insiders of the abandoned juice factory, find a team with the ability to quickly search and investigate, and provide appropriate deterrence to prevent the cursed from causing trouble halfway, these manpower calls are not possible for Xu Yunge to do.
In terms of benefits, if those who are cursed need to unravel the curse stone and want to forcibly squeeze out the last trace of value of the Hu family's parents, then Wang Baozhi's situation will also be very dangerous.
turned on the mobile phone and was about to have a good exchange with Lao Li, but an unfamiliar number came in.
After hesitating for a moment, Xu Yunge was ready to answer the phone. When he subconsciously looked outside, he noticed a ball of light rising from the distance and exploding into a brilliant firework.
In the past, when firecrackers were not strictly prohibited in the city, there were indeed many cases of whipping in the middle of the night to disturb the people.
But in the middle of the night, who will set off fireworks?
The phone was connected, Xu Yunge did not speak, and the silent reading of the seconds was eclipsed. With the lessons he had learned, he was now increasingly defensive about anomalies.
If you still treat yourself as an ordinary person, you won't be aware of the crisis, and if you encounter strange things like throwing stones and asking for directions, I'm afraid that your life will have to be confessed there.
When the phone was connected, Xu Yunge was a little surprised, but he quickly concealed the change in his breathing - he really didn't expect that Professor Tang would take the initiative to call him on such a strange night.
"Professor Tang, I'm a little busy right now, if it's not something important, I can talk about it at another time. What's the matter with me so late? Xu Yunge thought about it for a moment and chose to maintain the impression of his strength.
The depths of this abandoned factory are chaotic, and there is a special aura of cursed black fog, and no one can say what the hell it is. If Professor Tang wanted to talk to him about family life, he could only choose to hang up.
Professor Tang obviously didn't expect Xu Yunge to answer like this, but his tone was not as gentle and confident as when Zhao Wenlan was present. At night, it seemed that his whole attitude and emotions had become wrong: "Regarding Hu Xiaoyu's case, I asked someone to find out some special circumstances. ”
"Special circumstances?" Xu Yunge had a slight doubt in his heart, but his mouth was not exposed.
He even went to the ghost market once, and Wang Baozhi also used the excuse of "illness" to tell him a story about Hu Xiaoyu's dream. Now that the curse charm has been taken, the reward of the urban legend has also been taken, and the Netherworld Treasure has been burned, it is absolutely impossible for that case to continue endlessly.
"Yes, I found one thing. Hu Xiaoyu took a leave of absence for a period of time in the evening, and after walking to Houshan Cultural Park, she hikked through the entire mountainous area, and I didn't know what she wanted to do. However, some witnesses claimed to have seen such a girl at that time. ”
"Who are the witnesses?" Xu Yunge heard some strange movements in the abandoned factory, and his ears immediately became alert.
"Dou Xinwei, a junior high school child, you should have seen it. When Xiao Zhao and I were asking about something, a doctor surnamed Zhu brought Wang Baozhi and her over for questioning. During the conversation, Dou Xinwei remembered that about 2 years ago, her family's big black dog also encountered such a time in the mountains. ”
Damn, such an important thing was not said so early! Xu Yunge couldn't wait to run out of this ghost place immediately, and directly booked a ticket to leave Hanwu City immediately, and the reward was gone, this place was really too evil.
Hu Xiaoyu and Wang Baozhi have both encountered the same thing, which completely shows that there are problems in this mountainous area itself, and the horror urban legend is passed down from the mountain.
No wonder the gate of the ghost market is near the abandoned mountain temple, and the land mountain gods in the early years are actually faith buildings built spontaneously by the people. What was enshrined before the furnace on the shrine is estimated to be known only to the local elders.
"Two years ago, the temple probably hadn't completely collapsed. Dou Xinwei said that she saw early in the morning that a pale-skinned girl came out of the temple with a big sack on her back, and Da Hei kept barking, but the girl walked into the mountain and never appeared again. ”
"I think Xiaoyu may have done something at that time, she inadvertently told Wang Baozhi about it. It's just that Wang Baozhi is in a very bad condition now, and she has been suffering from mental illness for a long time, and she can't tell the difference between hallucinations and reality for a while, and she didn't remember these things before. ”
"I don't mean anything special to tell you, I just think that you stay up late and risk investigating the case, and you are so fortunate to work hard to maintain law and order, there are some things you should have the right to know."
"Thanks, I see, you can call me anytime you think of anything."
Xu Yunge hung up the phone and let out a long breath.
The total number of curses on Hu Xiaoyu's body far exceeded his expectations, counting the overshadowing of what he had obtained in the mission, he was almost running for 10 curses.
If you calculate the initial request for 1 curse, 1 on the way to the horror urban legend mission, and 1 when the mission is over, open the treasure chest to get 1, and 3 curses are Xu Yunge's personal experience.
But there is a huge loophole here: how can Hu Xiaoyu, a weak woman from an unfortunate background, be able to live with nearly 10 curses, and finally accept her fate peacefully?
"Hu Xiaoyu is likely to have entered the ghost market, assuming that she enters the ghost market and takes 1 curse, the number of her curses is 4. If you are a little bolder, assuming that Wang Baozhi has also been exposed to curses, and it is also 4, the total number of curses will get closer and closer to this situation......"
Xu Yunge suddenly thought of a terrifying situation: if the conjecture is true, Wang Baozhi will also be under a curse for a short time, and Hu Xiaoyu is very likely to absorb all the curses on Wang Baozhi's body to himself through some special way!
Only in this way can the number of curses be basically matched. Hu Xiaoyu seems to be rational and sensual, she may not have imagined that the curse of 10 yuan Netherworld Tongbao 1 is basically looking for death.
But Hu Xiaoyu's efforts did not work completely, after all, she had died tragically. After Xu Yunge asks for a curse from the evil ghost and comes into contact with the terrifying urban legend, the legend of Taiping Town seems to have gone wrong, and everything begins to recur.
"Could it be repentance derived from the curse of remorse? The price of using the curse that is close to suicide, what did Hu Xiaoyu do with the power of the curse? Wang Baozhi has been trapped in Hu Xiaoyu's nightmare, and she is suffering huge mental torture every day, why doesn't she remember anything? ”
"Could it be that Hu Xiaoyu's ghost has been by Wang Baozhi's side for the past 2 years, not to hurt her, but to protect her? Prevent her from being forcibly taken away by something even more terrifying? It's not impossible, Hu Xiaoyu's character seems to have really done it......"
"Because Hu Xiaoyu's terrifying urban legend and Taiping Town's terrifying legend are independent! As long as the strength is enough and the form is equal, my Curse of Destruction can also attack evil ghosts, why can't Hu Xiaoyu's curse power be used to resist other horror legends? ”
Xu Yunge looked at the depths of the abandoned juice factory, where the darkness was hazy, there was no moonlight, it was not a netherworld ghost domain, but it was just as likely that there were terrifying ghosts lurking.
He suddenly realized the power of the curse, creeping like spider silk through the world.
Claim a curse, get a piece of power, pay a price.
When it comes to paying the price, it is inevitable to use power. However, once the power is used, the limitations of a single curse power will be discovered, and more curses will be needed in order to solve the problem.
More curses, more troubles and problems. In order to solve them, even Xu Yunge had to explore the secrets of the terrifying urban legends, and the people who once didn't even dare to kill a wild dog with a knife were forced by cause and effect to become mortal enemies with a group of cursed people.
Curses beget curses, and the problem escalates, so in the end things turn out like this.
"If you don't have enough offsets, the curse is a loan shark that will never be paid off."
"Borrowing money is chic, and collecting debts is terrible! What would happen if I listened to the temptation in the ghost market and used the Nether Treasure to buy something I shouldn't have bought? Will the person behind it be immediately revealed? ”
Xu Yunge's body became colder and colder, and he suddenly felt that he had uncovered the mystery of the terrifying legend and seen through a hidden dark line, because this was a complete curse deception!
But, yes......
If life is passable, who will embark on this cursed road?
"When I touched the bloody handprint, I was given 20 yuan of Netherworld Treasure. If you guessed correctly, the task reward is likely to be independent of horror legends, otherwise ordinary people will not be able to resist killing people under the pretext of a curse! Xu Yunge's eyes narrowed, and two soft dark bills appeared in his hand. Money can make ghosts grind, this old saying can really be used anywhere.
Take out the lighter and ignite the Nether Treasure.
The grasp of key information made Xu Yunge feel a kind of enlightenment.
There is not much money, I don't know if it can attract the remnant soul of questioning, Xu Yunge doesn't know very well, but it's worth a try.
"As long as you get more quest rewards, you will have a way to fight the curse. After Wang Baozhi suffered a curse, the theoretical survival period is at least 2 years, so as long as I reduce my mistakes and mistakes, and don't blindly take risks, maybe I can survive until the day when the disease is cured and I regain my life! ”
The paper money flew in ashes, and a piece of smoke and ash blew into Xu Yunge's eyes, and his body instinctively closed his eyes to block the failure. The yin wind blew, and the paper money ash accidentally entered the eyes, and the itching was actually reduced a lot.
"How does this work?" Xu Yunge was slightly stunned, and applied the paper money ash in his hand to his eyelids like eye shadow. He was pleasantly surprised to find that his night vision began to regain.
It's just that the itching hasn't completely subsided, and when it strikes again, it's hard to imagine that Xu Yunge will become night blindness again.
Wait, there's something wrong!
"Night blindness, night blindness, bulletin boards, street lights! If the eyesight is not strengthened after asking for the curse, and the people of Taiping Town do not go out at night, what is hidden in the darkness? Xu Yunge trembled slightly, he felt that he couldn't control his thinking, it was rapidly connecting all the clues.
In the end, the question is, if Dou Xiantong has the possibility of night blindness, why did he come here?
Is it the first time Dou Xiantong has come to an abandoned juice factory?
Is it the first time for Wang Baozhi to go to that mountain forest?
Xu Yunge turned off the flashlight of his mobile phone, and the curse took effect in eclipse, and he followed Dou Xiantong's footprints and walked over.
"How do people who can't see the darkness react to the invisible in the dark?"
