The winter nights in Taiping Town are full of darkness and grotesqueness, and even with the bright orange street lamps to dispel the darkness, the discomfort and vigilance in the hearts of the night walkers are still unabated. Xu Yunge walked all the way to the abandoned juice factory, and when he was about to arrive, he was faced with a cold wind, and his coat was covered with fine snow.

"I haven't paid attention to the weather forecast for a long time, and I don't even know that it's snowing. Xu Yunge took out his mobile phone to check, and the time flickered and it was the early morning clock.

It stands to reason that Dou Xiantong's footsteps are not slow, Taiping Town is not too far from the city, whether it is walking or taking a car, Dou Xin can only walk the dog, and his physical fitness such as walking should not be a problem.

But at this moment, the mobile phone signal is normal, but Lao Li and the others have not sent a message for a long time, neither knowing their specific movements, nor knowing where Dou Xiantong went after kidnapping Wang Baozhi.

The night was really quiet, and there was no sign of plainclothes scratching people around. Perhaps the weather was too cold, many 24-hour shops even closed their advertising signs, and only a small amount of plastic waste was floating on the streets, which made Xu Yunge feel a little weird beyond words.

"No, I don't think the abandoned juice factory is that far away. There are no street lights near the juice factory, how do I feel that this road and the street lights on both sides can extend infinitely? ”

Xu Yunge opened the GPS map, but found that the network speed was extremely slow, and the APP did not respond after waiting for a few minutes. I felt bad in my heart, and there didn't seem to be anything abnormal around me, but when I looked closely, there seemed to be a monster curled up in the shadow of the telephone pole at the corner of the intersection in front of me.

Turn on the mobile phone shooting mode to lengthen the focal length, and the brightness of the flashlight is adjusted to the maximum, so you can't see clearly.

"Did I accidentally fall for the curse again?"

Xu Yunge was about to activate the power of the curse, but the black mass under the telephone pole moved, and suddenly let out a dog bark.

"Could it be the Big Black?" Xu Yunge didn't believe what he heard, there were too many oddities in Taiping Town. If that's a dog, and that dog is looking at itself......

Xu Yunge tried to bend down and picked up a stone casually, and the black shadow saw someone approaching, and quickly disappeared into the right corner of the intersection.

Holding his breath and waiting for a few seconds, there was no movement at the intersection before Xu Yunge turned on his stealth and moved forward. After walking a few steps, I found that the street lamp on the other end of the corner was flickering wildly like insufficient voltage, and there was still a mess of things thrown around the corner where the black shadow disappeared.

When I looked closer, I realized that it was a red ball of wool, with only a small mass at the end of the corner. Looking up, the yarn stretched from a distance, as if someone had pinched one end of the thread from a very far distance, and then kicked the ball of yarn away with a single shot.

Otherwise, it's hard to explain that this kind of strange thing exists in the middle of the night.

Give it a try, anyway, the line of evil is no threat to me, even if it's a horror legend. Xu Yunge was about to take a photo to record, when another set of reasonable ideas suddenly popped up in his mind, urging him to squat down and pick up the woolen ball.

If you think about it, it's the same thing. Xu Yunge felt that something was wrong, and reached out to pick up the woolen ball.

[Quest open: Collect "Yuan" in the legend of the mountain, when the collected "Yuan" exceeds 60%, you can get rewards and complete the settlement]

"This mission is not actually a sin, does it mean that I am asked to collect the fate line? There was no vote to kill people in this mission, there was a lack of reference experience, and I don't know if there was a special part. Xu Yunge pinched the yarn ball, threaded it on his fingertips, grabbed the follow-up red thread and continued to wrap it up.

Soon Xu Yunge found that compared with the "evil" collected in the last mission, the "fate" collected in this mission is obviously very different. Sin's jump starts at least 10%, and fate is to recover several loops of yarn before it increases 1% of mission progress.

What are the mysteries and differences, Xu Yunge couldn't say for a while: "A person playing yarn in a different place at night knows that something is wrong." But if this is the trap of evil spirits, then what will happen to me all the way to the end of the red thread? ”

The street lights are flashing from good to bad, and I don't know if the yarn is wet or there is some special problem. Xu Yunge only felt that the yarn in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, and when he walked under the street lamp, he not only heard a heavy buzzing sound from the head of the street lamp, but also heard some strange moans.

That voice Xu Yunge was extremely familiar and quite disgusted, once when he was hospitalized, he always heard some old and weak patients coughing and panting. Like suffering from a serious lung disease, and like having a history of smoking for decades, this long and sad cough, the longer you listen to it, the more likely it is to make people nervous, and sometimes you can't tell the difference between dreams and reality, and you can hear the old man's cough everywhere you go.

An uncomfortable goosebump appeared on his arm, and Xu Yunge grabbed the red line to try to avoid it. But I heard the coughing sound approaching, and the multi-angle surround sound swirled back and forth.

The cold wind mixed with the snow made his eyes hurt, and when Xu Yunge quickened his pace, the coughing sound would weaken at first, but it would become stronger and stronger in a few seconds. It was as if there was something strange that could not be seen, and it had already been eyeing him for a long time.

Slowing down the pace again to reduce physical wear, Xu Yun singer curled the wool, silently reading eclipsed, ready to mobilize the curse to fight back. But the eyes found that in the dark alley next to it, there was a strange paper figure with a thin body like dry wood, and his facial features were almost made of paste and white paper.

The strange sound of coughing behind me also disappeared inexplicably at this time.

The paper man did not move, like a thin old farmer.

When I got closer, I found that the ink pen on the paper man was written: Zhong Moumou, ? Year? Month? Day died of a stroke. And there is a separate piece of red wool that wraps around its ankles and wrists.

In a slight comparison, the style of the red wool seems to be the same kind. But if you want to collect the red thread on the paper body, you will inevitably have to pierce the paper skin, because a large number of red wool threads are wrapped around the bamboo strips and fixed structures in its body, and it is really impossible to remove it for a while.

"I always feel that it will take at least 30 minutes to collect these fateful lines, and Dou Mengyao has been missing for a long time, only the task prompt proves that she is still alive for the time being, although I give priority to the task reward, but Dou Mengyao's existence is also related to customs clearance, I better not waste any more time."

Xu Yunge glanced at the paper figure a few times, and curled yarn along a street in the middle of the night, this matter was already quite strange to him, and there was no need to provoke more strange things in the case of vague clues.

But Xu Yunge had just walked a few seconds before the coughing sound behind him caught up again.

Slightly different from before, there is obviously one more type of coughing and moaning sound. It was like an old woman with a withered mouth and face, coughing very rhythmically, and the more she listened, the more uncomfortable she felt, and even Xu Yunge's throat began to itch.

"Your uncle, what's wrong with this shitty town." Xu Yunge's scalp was numb, and he grabbed the wool and began to speed up the recovery. While collecting the yarn, the ears are listening for the coughing sound, the eyes are alert, and the footsteps have to be careful for possible trucks or other hazards.

Finally, I finished rolling a whole roll of edge lines, and it was completely unexpectedly easy.

【Accumulate 30% of mission progress】

Seeing that at the intersection in front of him, another ball of wool appeared, and the same routine appeared, Xu Yunge put the wool in his pocket, and was just about to bend down to pick it up.

Without paying attention, Xu Yunge stepped on the manhole cover, but a strange sound of metal cover rubbing came. He suddenly felt his feet slip, his heart beat wildly, a clammy chill went from his heels to his thighs, and one leg couldn't move at all, and he didn't even have time to start stealth.

When I looked down, it was a small black hand that grabbed my ankle, which happened to be retracted under the manhole cover.

Although it was not a fatal trap, with such a panicked effort, the strange voice behind it caught up again. Xu Yunge felt that his throat was really itchy and unbearable, and he coughed a few times.

Suddenly, the coughing behind him stopped.

There was some stinging pain in the corners of his eyes, Xu Yunge concentrated on the corner of his eyes, and he found that there were two shadows walking side by side with him, and if he looked closely, he could see that they were two dead corpses with broken necks. Moreover, their bodies are all kinds of broken and incomplete, and even their heads are stitched with red threads, so I can't imagine what they were like when they were alive.

The more they coughed, the more the red threads on their bodies were wrapped around Xu Yunge. These red threads are like strong and sticky spider silk, and what is even more terrifying is that they are different from ordinary edge threads, and the power of destruction does not seem to be able to burn them easily.

Xu Yunge forcibly resisted the urge to cough, stubbornly held his breath and continued to walk forward. Endured all the way until the eclipses were successfully opened, and then he felt that the itching of the foreign body in his throat disappeared, and his right hand, which had been turning in a mechanical circle, suddenly felt that the red line was a little unmoving.

When I looked up, I realized that I had walked to the gate of the abandoned juice factory. One of the red threads of the second mass of yarn was playfully tied with a bow on the door post, and the red thread after that was not broken, extending all the way to the depths of the abandoned factory.

Only then did the scarlet rune in his mind react.

[The anomalous curse judgment failed, the disease was not successfully strengthened, the current disease level remained unchanged, and no new malignant disease was infected]

What does the disease grade mean, and can the curse still escalate cancer? Xu Yunge finally breathed a sigh of relief, at first glance he thought it was easy, but it turned out that it was actually catalyzed by a curse that made him bond with the dead man who died of illness, God knows what it would be like to be followed by those two dead bodies side by side.

Either way, this uncomfortable ordeal was finally overcome.

"This Taiping Town is just like a morgue, where is it too peaceful." couldn't help but complain in his heart, Xu Yunge pricked up his ears and listened carefully, he found that in the depths of the abandoned juice factory, there was a faint sound of "ping pong dingdong" kicking the can.

"The abandoned factory is a little different from before, in addition to the traces left by Dou Xiantong and me before, it seems that there are other people's footprints mixed in. Is it Dou Mengyao? ”

Xu Yunge closed his eyes, and the task prompt was indeed that 1 living person was in place, 2 living people were on the way, and the rest of the conditions were unknown. If Dou Mengyao is still alive, the possibility of her in the juice factory is not small.

Breathe to remove the eclipse, restore stamina and restart the curse.

Xu Yunge, who was familiar with the road, walked into the interior of the abandoned factory, and just opened the door and didn't take a few steps, but he felt that something was constantly hanging on his face. When I turned on the flashlight of my mobile phone, I found that this place was a completely different world from before, and the red line in my hand was gradually becoming harder and harder.

A large number of threads of evil are scattered everywhere like cobwebs and vines. Many strands of thread were entangled, and multiple strands of red thread were scattered on the ground sticking to each other, and when he pulled up the main red thread, there were other broken red threads that would stick to each other and roll together if he was not careful.

Once involved, the almost identical red lines are completely indistinguishable and unrecognizable. If you don't notice the abnormality and roll it up indiscriminately, God knows if there will be other bad karma mixed into the thread group.

"If you are greedy for the overall progress of the task and collect the fate line indiscriminately, I am afraid that this is the same as deliberately tempting people to do evil in order to facilitate the collection of criminal evidence. I don't know if it will cause a change in the reward chest, as long as there is a reincarnation stone, I can continue to live, so it's better not to mess around for now. ”

Using his fingers to block the other red lines, and brushing off the miscellaneous lines little by little, Xu Yunge only felt that his fingers twitched, and there was a pain like touching a sharp steel wire.

It's a pity that this pain is only a drizzle compared to the severe pain of torture that shatters the curse and breaks the heart. Xu Yunge's brain and body were almost used to the pain in his fingers, or he was numb, as long as he endured the slightest discomfort in his body and mind, he quickly collected the second ball of yarn, walked all the way to the end of the factory, and slowly untied the entangled red rope tied to the warehouse door.

The second clump of yarn is collected, but the reward is only 50%.

Picked up a piece of iron at random, inserted two balls of wool at both ends, and found an iron rod to compare and weigh them, but found that the two balls of wool were the same weight, and the reward progress of the second ball of yarn was indeed only 20%.

The sound of kicking the jar came from inside, and the sound of a girl's laughter was faintly heard.

The sound of the door opening seemed to trigger some alarm, and the sound of frolicking stopped abruptly.

An aluminum can of sweet and sour candy-flavored orange soda rolled in front of him, and if it wasn't for the extreme coincidence that a mouse was making a mistake, someone must have moved it just now.

When Xu Yunge looked at the door that Dou Xiantong had opened, at this moment, it was closed by someone who didn't know who had closed it, and a large number of red lines poured out from behind the door. In a trance, Xu Yunge had the illusion of weightlessness, and the door and the door were all red, and he could hardly tell whether this was an exit or an entrance.

Xu Yunge put the wool in his pocket, stepped forward and grabbed the doorknob, he just wanted to exert himself, but the girl's laughter came from behind the door.

"It doesn't matter what kind of demons and monsters you have, the ugly daughter-in-law always has to see her in-laws. It was the power of the curse that extended my life, and in order to get enough reincarnation stones and props, I could only eat this bowl of rice! ”

Xu Yunge didn't care so much, he knew that the inside of the utility room was very small, and once he opened the door, he could see everything inside. A reckless force surged into his heart, and the creaking iron door opened in response, and the thunderous metal plate shook far away, but the thing inside the door was a pair of women's socks.

Looking up, Xu Yunge's heart almost stopped, because the girl who was sitting on the iron railing with bare feet and grinning was the same as Dou Xin's only one!

What the hell is going on? Could it be that Dou Xiantong set up a bureau from the beginning, Dou Mengyao didn't exist, that surveillance video just casually filmed an adult woman going out at night, and he only had Dou Xinwei as a daughter from beginning to end?

No, something is wrong, Dou Xinwei's home obviously has traces of college students' books and life. There are also various signs and evidence on the night of Dou Mengyao's disappearance, proving that there is indeed such a person as her.

But the real Dou Xinwei should accompany her seriously ill mother in the hospital at this moment, who is this girl in front of her who is exactly like her?

"You are Dou Mengyao? But what the hell is going on, and how did you look like this? Xu Yunge's thoughts were a little confused, but he reflexively began to prepare for the power of the curse.

The girl really began to laugh at Xu Yunge: "You don't know what I look like, and you still come to arrest me, so what do you think I should look like?" ”

Xu Yunge almost subconsciously blurted out: "I obviously saw ...... in the surveillance video"

"What do you see?"

"I see ......"

The more he recalled the surveillance footage, the more sleepy Xu Yunge felt. There was no time to resist, and the red line behind him surged like a wave, and the gentle, cold and hopeful cursed aura embraced in front of him.

"Look for it wherever you see it! Look for it, and don't come back if you can't find it! ”

The girl's voice lingered in her ears, like walking through the gate of a ghost city. When Xu Yunge woke up, it was still dark all around, and he appeared on a strange street corner in Taiping Town.

Contrary to reality, the sky at this time is no longer a night moon, and on the night when the horror legend erupts, all the buildings are shrouded in a red halo. This completely abnormal scene is exactly the same as Hujiazhuang, which was transplanted from the first horror legend, which made Xu Yunge sober up in an instant and remembered something that had been ignored by everyone for a long time.

"Where did the truck that killed Da Hei and almost crushed Dou Xinwei go? All kinds of bizarre and bizarre supernatural phenomena, why is there nothing in the surveillance records of Taiping Town, the curfew that the locals are accustomed to, and strange things happen everywhere in Taiping Town at night, could it be ...... This is the night when Dou Mengyao and Dou Xinwei disappeared? ”

"I've never known Dou Mengyao, but why did I suddenly find this person, and this is the second time I've tried to find traces of her in the middle of the night?"

"Who is Dou Mengyao, and does she really exist?"

No matter who Dou Mengyao was, no matter which world this was, Xu Yunge decided to leave for Dou Xinwei's house immediately.

Fate has been gathered, clues have been mastered, but analysis is not yet clear...... There was a premonition in the darkness that reminded Xu Yunge that the deities of all evil fate and curses were about to appear.
