Chapter 115: Deep Sleep
I thought about it for a moment, and suddenly, I remembered one thing, that night, I was resting in the cave at the exit of the mountain peak with Xiuya, Lingling, and Han Dongzhu.
At that time, Ling Ling Xiuya and I woke up and walked out of the cave, while Han Dongzhu had been asleep and had slept soundly.
The big black cat left a word on the ground, let's let them go, get out of here, don't investigate again, Xiuya wanted to catch the big black cat, and the big black cat ran away.
When we entered the cave, we found that there were cat footprints at the entrance of the cave, and after entering the cave, Han Dongzhu was still asleep, and we found that Han Dongzhu's face was pale, his lips were blue, he touched his head, and he had a fever. We woke up Han Dongzhu, and he said that he was fine with a cold and that he would be fine in a few days.
When he woke up the next morning, Han Dongzhu's cold did not improve and seemed to be getting worse, but when Su-ah went to investigate alone, Han Dong-joo fell halfway. Said that he suddenly fainted and fell.
Later, Han Dongzhu's face improved, and his condition seemed to improve quickly, and when we arrived at the Phantom Array, Han Dongzhu had fully recovered.
I told Ye Feilong all these details.
Ye Feilong frowned, "It seems that this is the process, the process of Han Dongzhu being controlled, what is it that can completely occupy a person's body?" ”
Ye Feilong thought hard. There is no answer at all.
"Will it ...... Is it demon-possessed? "An answer suddenly popped up in my head, I saw in movies and television dramas that ghosts possess someone's body, and that person's mind and body will be occupied by ghosts.
"No, it won't." Ye Feilong glanced at me, "The difference between life and death, it is impossible for a soul to appear in the world of a living person, along the way, you didn't feel anything abnormal about Han Dongzhu, I'm afraid this thing not only occupies Han Dongzhu's body, but also occupies his thinking memory!" ”
Thinking memory? I was shocked, Ye Feilong was right, if he just occupied his body, he would definitely speak differently than before, even if he hid it well, some details would be exposed, but along the way, I often chatted with Han Dongzhu, talking about his family's affairs and Chongyang Village's affairs, and he answered them fluently, without any doubts.
"This is extremely weird, we need to investigate it slowly, and we can't startle the snake."
At present, Ye Feilong and I already know that it is the village chief and Han Dongzhu who are ghosts, could it be that the other villagers in the village are also victims?
I said, "At night, the villagers are unconscious, but what about during the day? If the villagers didn't know, wouldn't they have noticed the anomaly? ”
Ye Feilong said: "Things are not that simple, if you want to know the result, you will know some answers during the day, now we will go back separately, for tonight's events, we can't tell anyone, only the two of us know, understand?" ”
I said, "You mean, the more people who know, the easier it is to be exposed, and if the other party finds out that the two of us are awake, I'm afraid they will take action against us?" ”
"Yes." Ye Feilong looked at me with some appreciation, "One point, you are very smart, remember, if everyone wakes up during the day, this matter cannot tell the people around you, the more people who know, the greater the possibility of us being exposed, the other party has the means to control people, we can't guarantee that other people around us are not controlled." ”
"Now it's certain that there are three of us, only me and you have no problems, and everyone else has an accident, so don't trust anyone around you!"
I nodded heavily, I would never tell Xiuya and Lingling about this.
"Now let's separate and go back, you and Han Dongzhu live together, keep an eye on Han Dongzhu at any time, remember, don't be discovered."
I understand that now we are in a deep predicament, trapped in the village, we do not know the conspiracy and purpose of our opponents, we do not know the way to get out of the village. Our enemy is too difficult to deal with, and the enemy is in the shadows, so the two of us can also investigate in the shadows.
Due to Ye Feilong's special identity, they didn't dare to act rashly, Ye Feilong came here to catch the Demon Star, and the high-level Dao Guild would definitely know that if Ye Feilong had an accident here, the entire Dao Guild would definitely come out and raze this place to the ground.
But...... From the mouths of the enemy, it seems that it will take a long time for them to control Ye Feilong.
Looking at the figure of Ye Feilong leaving, I have a very complicated mood, Ye Feilong killed Jin Cui, how many nights, I wanted to kill Ye Feilong in my dreams, but now, I actually cooperated with Ye Feilong.
The world is impermanent, and the body cannot help itself.
Back in the courtyard where I lived, Han Dongzhu's door was still hidden, and I didn't come back, so I went around to the back of Xiuya and Lingling's room, closed the window, and erased all traces of my entry.
I lay on the bed and tossed and turned and couldn't sleep, thinking carefully about the conversation between the village chief and Han Dongzhu, and I couldn't figure it out, what is so terrible about me, they are afraid of my blood, my blood can kill them, how to kill them?
What secrets do I have?
At about five o'clock in the morning, I heard footsteps coming from the yard, and Han Dongzhu came back. Then there was the sound of the door being pushed and closed, and then, there was no movement.
I fell asleep in a daze, and the next morning, Xiuya woke me up, and Xiuya and Lingling slept well and looked normal. I casually asked them when they slept last night, and both of them said they fell asleep at 10 o'clock and woke up after 7 o'clock in the morning.
We went to the villagers' house for dinner together, Han Dongzhu didn't have any abnormalities, Hei Wuchang, Jing Min and the people of the Taoist Society didn't have anything abnormal, and they all slept well last night. After waking up this morning, my strength has recovered.
The village chief was very kind to us, and we investigated everything, and she and the villagers said they would fully cooperate.
After the meal, the three of us started an investigation together, and we walked along the creek, first checking the water, and there was no problem. The villagers eat and use the water from the stream, and even take off their clothes and go into the water, except that the river water is cold, there is nothing abnormal, but they dare not go to the middle of the river.
The village is not large, there are only a few dozen families, and it took us more than two hours to make a circle along the river, and there is a stone bridge to the west. Across the stream, it is exactly the same as the stone bridge to the east, and a few dozen meters away from the stone bridge on the west side is a rapids from the mountains.
The villagers said that the old people of the village used to say that the stream that surrounds the village is the water from the waterfall in the mountain, and a stream of water circles the village. It flows from a branch to a downstream channel.
We analyzed from the river channel, the water coming down from the waterfall on the mountain can flow directly down, giving people the feeling that this village and the stream are all built by people, but these are not exquisite.
There is no problem with the water, there is no problem with the river. There was no problem with the bridge, we did experiments with animals, and chickens, ducks and sheep passed through the bridge safely, but people could not pass through here.
We continued to investigate, and the people in the Taoist meeting were all experts in handling cases, investigating every household, visiting many villagers, and we were busy for a whole day. Nothing came of it.
After dinner, everyone was still investigating around the village, and when I was going to the toilet, Ye Feilong avoided the others and mysteriously followed.
The two of us secretly exchanged messages.
Ye Feilong said: "My twelve subordinates all said that they slept well last night, everyone fell asleep after ten o'clock in the evening and woke up at seven o'clock in the morning. Some people are woken up, that is, after dawn, everyone is normal, and now we have to figure out why there is a deep sleep at night. ”
Ye Feilong's message was the same as mine, and Xiuya and Lingling also told me that they were very sleepy and fell asleep at ten o'clock in the evening.
In other words, people will fall into a deep sleep at night, and in the morning they will wake up normally with no abnormalities.
I said, "What's next?" ”
Ye Feilong said: "Hold your ground, pretend to investigate, and wait until my strength is fully recovered, and then subdue the village chief and Han Dongzhu." ”
I asked, "How long will it take for your strength to recover?" ”
Ye Feilong was helpless, "It will take about half a month." ”
Other words. Half a month later, Ye Feilong was able to act.
After our brief conversation, next, Ye Feilong led the people of the Taoist Association back to rest.
The four of us were about to leave when Black Impermanence stopped us.
Hei Wuchang said, "Master Xiuya, there is no point in investigating like this. Now that everyone has lost their strength, they are no different from ordinary people, without strength, there is no need to use the Dao Fa, we will be trapped here, and we will never be able to get out. ”
"And the longer we stay in the village, the more dangerous we become."
Xiuya said: "Do you have a way?" ”
Black Impermanence shook his head. "I can be sure that everything in the village must be done by someone behind the scenes, trapping us, and this person, nine times out of ten, is in the village, as long as this person is found, the problem can be solved."
I asked, "Black Impermanence Senior." Do you have any object of suspicion? ”
Hei Wuchang said: "Not for the time being, but ...... We can start with the village chief and use some means to gradually investigate. ”
"By what means?" I asked with interest.
"The means are simple, create chaos." "There are only more than 100 people in the village, 19 old people, 67 young adults, and more than a dozen children, and we will throw all these people on the bridge or into the river, and the people behind the ghosts will naturally be exposed." ”
Black impermanence means that if you kill the people in the village, the people behind the ghosts will naturally not be able to hide.
Xiuya said: "Do you think this method works?" Don't forget, we have lost our strength now, just like ordinary people, doing this will only provoke the anger of the villagers, we are no different from looking for death, besides, you maim ordinary people, can Ye Feilong sit idly by? ”
Jing Min said at this time: "Since my master said so, naturally there is a way to deal with these villagers. It's just that Ye Feilong and the others are not easy to deal with, our plan is to kill Ye Feilong first, and then carry out the following things, in this matter, Master and I don't have enough manpower, so we must cooperate. ”
"Our goals are basically the same. It's all for saving the Demon Star, and Ye Feilong's purpose is to kill the peerless Demon Star, we and Ye Feilong are not in the same boat, Ye Feilong will deal with us sooner or later, so now everyone has no strength, and it is also an opportunity to get rid of Ye Feilong. ”
Xiuya said coldly: "I'm sorry, I can't kill the villagers here, I can't do this, I can't kill Ye Feilong, don't forget, I'm also a member of the Taoist Society!" ”
"Let's go!"
Xiuya turned her head and left, and she wouldn't cooperate with Hei Impermanence at all.
