Looking at Liu De and them, who were at a loss, I was also completely panicked.

I walked up to them, gripped the hilt of my water-repellent sword, and stared at each of their faces.

"Boss! What the hell is going on? Think of a way, I'd rather suddenly have a demon jump out and strangle me to death than suffer this kind of mental torture again. "One of the militiamen cried and said to me.

"Don't panic, let me think slowly." I continued to say this pale sentence.

I tried to calm myself down and sort out the situation.

The fact that our people have disappeared one after another mysteriously does not prove that something happened to them.

Perhaps, the current situation is not caused by a "ghost".

This is the only explanation I can think of, which is a misconception.

I remember that I read an ancient book about the surprise of the case, which recorded a strange case, that is, using misunderstandings to deceive others.

Probably speaking, a businessman went out to Chengde, Hebei Province to do business, and on the way to an inn, which was relatively small, with only one large bunk room, and more than a dozen travelers had lived in the room.

But the bunk was relatively spacious, and it was not a problem to squeeze a few more people, and the merchant also moved in.

But the next morning, the rest of the passengers in the room went out one after another, but the figure of the merchant was nowhere to be seen.

The innkeeper went in to check, but he couldn't find the merchant anywhere.

This room has only one door and no windows, so you have to go through this door to get in and out.

From last night to now, the innkeeper and his companions have also been guarding the counter, paying attention to the door of the guest room, and making sure that the merchant has not come out.

This is so strange that it means that when the merchant enters this room, he is a strange evaporation from the world!

The innkeeper didn't dare to slack off, and immediately reported to the official.

When the magistrate of the local government heard about the case, he believed that the merchant was carrying a large amount of money and that it was very likely that he had been murdered.

Therefore, the magistrate immediately asked the official to send the remaining thirteen people who stayed in that room yesterday to the public court.

But the confessions of the thirteen people made people even more confused.

The thirteen men were all adamant, saying that they had never seen the merchant at all.

All people are confused.

The innkeeper and his fellows confirmed that the merchant had checked into the room near the end of the first watch.

But all the passengers in the room said that after a shift, no one stayed in.

Is it the innkeeper and the guy who hallucinate?

Or the moment the merchant stepped over the threshold, without waiting for the people in the house to see him, at that moment, the world evaporated?

But no matter what, the merchant did mysteriously disappear, and no one was alive or dead.

And this unsolved case was announced five years later, and the truth surprised everyone.

Five years later, in an inn in Song County, Henan Province, this terrifying "evaporation of the world" case was staged again.

Still a salt merchant, and the men who traveled with him, the two of them entered the bunk room of a local inn to rest, and never left the room again the next day, disappearing without a trace.

The county magistrate of Song County sent the innkeeper and the other eight people who slept with the salt merchant, and their statements were the same as the unsolved case in Chengde five years ago.

The shopkeeper insisted that after the salt merchant and his men moved in, they never came out, and the eight people who slept with him said that they did not see the salt merchant and his men moving in at all.

The salt merchant's relative was a big official, and the big official ordered the county lieutenant of Song County that this case must be investigated!

The county lieutenant and the master pondered and meditated, and repeatedly checked, but they had no clue, and the only suspicion was that the shopkeeper said that when they went in to check the guest room in the morning, they smelled an extremely faint smell of blood.

In desperation, he even invited Shenhan to come over, saying that the salt merchant and his men had encountered a "little ghost dragging their feet" and were dragged into the underworld at that moment.

This statement will definitely not satisfy the senior officials, and the county lieutenant of Song County is about to throw away his black yarn hat.

But at this time, a friend of the county lieutenant happened to come to visit him, this person was also a member of the officialdom and served as the magistrate of Chengde.

And this magistrate, after listening to the county lieutenant of Song County talk about the facts of this case, was taken aback, he had handled similar cases back then, and it has not yet been solved.

The next day, the county lieutenant was dying and struggling, and the court was opened to continue the trial, and the magistrate also attended the court.

And after seeing the eight travelers who slept with the salt merchant in the court, the magistrate understood everything! Suddenly broke out in a cold sweat! The face is also pale and colorless!

Those eight passengers are extremely familiar, and they are eight of the thirteen passengers in the unsolved case of disappearance in Chengde five years ago.

When the eight people saw the magistrate of Chengde, they knew that God had opened their eyes and that their group of wicked people had nowhere to escape, so they immediately confessed their guilt.

It turned out that their gang were all gangsters and robbers, usually disguised as merchants and traders who traveled from south to north, and every time they went to a remote inn, they would stay in a room together, pretend not to know each other, and then wait for the prey to take the bait.

The package they carried with them was filled with ash, and they had sharp blades pinned to their waists.

At night, as long as there is a traveler staying in the middle of the night, they will grab the traveler with all their hands and feet, cover his mouth and nose, strangle him to death, and take away the passenger's belongings.

After that, they opened their respective burdens, piled the ashes in the baggage on the bed, and then put the body of the deceased on the ashes, divided the body into a dozen pieces with knives, wrapped them in ashes, and put them in their own baggage, and the next morning they went out with the baggage as if nothing happened, and then buried the body.

Because the corpse was divided on the ashes, the blood stains were absorbed by the ashes, and there was basically no clue at the scene.

When you run into the shop in Madahar, you won't notice that a certain traveler has disappeared mysteriously, and if it is discovered, their confessions are the same to Bo Gongtang, and no one can find out the truth at all.

This group of people used this method to travel south and north for more than ten years, creating no less than 100 bloody cases and robbing countless money, but they never showed their feet.

If it weren't for today's mistake, it couldn't be more coincidental, it just happened to run into Chengde Zhixian County, who interrogated them five years ago, and I am afraid that no one will ever find out the inside story of this strange case!

I took a deep breath and looked at Liu De and them in front of me.

Perhaps, the situation I am facing right now is like this unsolved case, a trap of misthinking.

I have to think about it differently, maybe the pillars are not gone, but exist in a different form.

The monsters in Wuyi Town are all treacherous rat charms, and the leader of the rat charms, the mysterious person who taught Ergouzi the rat control technique, must be even more cunning.

Besides, he is proficient in the art of controlling rats, and every mouse in Xiaogang Village is probably his eyes, ears and eyes, and he is clear about all the movements on my side.

"The attack never started, and the people before me just pretended to be attacked, interfering with my judgment, so as to give me a fatal blow when I was at my weakest ment." I said to Liu De.

"Huh?" Liu De was puzzled.

"You don't know rats, if they want to steal your rice, they will send several of their kind around your bedroom, attract your attention, and then secretly put the others in the kitchen." I say.

"yes, I know that, that's why rats are so annoying!" Liu De said.

I nodded, then looked at the expressions of the other militiamen.

"You told me before, what are the habits of a rat ghost? You will become a demon during the day and a ghost at night, right? I asked Liu De.

"Yes." Liu De said.

I already had a point in my heart, and I glanced at the glowstone lamppost in the stone house, after all, it was only a glowing mineral stone, and the range of brightness was limited, and most of the stone house was still in darkness.

My reaction was still too slow, when I first entered the rice shop, after the flashlight was shining randomly, there was an extra person's shadow, at that time, I should have noticed it.

After all, the reason why we were introduced into this rice shop was because of the cry of the sheep child.

And those rat charms don't take mortals seriously at all, they only think about how to deal with me, the most tricky person.

"Let's verify, how many ghosts are there." I thought to myself.

Or rather, all ghosts.

"Blackie." I call in my heart.

Xiao Hei's figure slowly revealed, and no one could detect its existence at all.

"Smash the lamppost." I gave instructions to Blackie.
