Chapter 62: The Last Photo
Xiaomei nodded, estimating that she was fed up with this weird place, she thought about it and said.
"Then you come with me."
Then she walked out of the room, and we all followed, and it was already the middle of the night, and the sky was clear, the moon was shining, and there was no one on the street, which was suitable for covert operations.
Our route was towards the big locust tree in the village, to be honest, I didn't see anything special in this village, Xiaomei took us to a courtyard, and then walked into the main house of the courtyard, and followed, opened the wardrobe of the bedroom, which showed a passage leading to the bottom.
"This is it, I stumbled upon it when I was looking for mirrors everywhere."
To be honest, although this place is not very hidden, it is indeed not easy to be spotted, because this courtyard looks ordinary, and the more ordinary things are, the less likely they are to be noticed.
Because I'm like that, I've been looking for something special in the village, but I haven't been able to find it, and as a result, what I didn't expect is that the secret is actually hidden in an ordinary courtyard.
The four of us walked down the passage, which was very long, first downward, then lateral, and I felt that this passage led to the big tree in the village.
In the passage, I saw very strange things, these things looked like blood vessels, covered with the walls of the cave, these things like tree vines were not only blood-red like blood vessels, but also seemed to be constantly pumping blood like blood vessels, which looked shocking.
"These vein-like things are supposed to lead to the wells, and I think most of them are absorbing the blood of the corpses in the wells or something, but I don't know exactly what they do."
Xue Li looked at these vain-like things and said.
I nodded, actually, I thought the same thing, after feeling the pulse of the tree, seeing that the tree was full of ghosts, I wondered what the tentacles I felt when I entered the bottom of the well before, I thought those tentacles should be the ends of the roots.
All the men who died in the village were thrown into the well, then wrapped in tentacles and sucked dry.
It's such a scary place.
After walking for a while, a stone door appeared in front, the top of the stone gate was written with "Hall of Eternal Life" three subordinate big characters, push open the stone door, the eyes suddenly opened, behind the stone gate is a dungeon, the center of the dungeon is the staggered tree roots, there is a person standing in the staggered roots, yes, Xiaomei is right, that person is indeed me.
The person in the middle of the root of the tree was undressed and had his eyes closed, but his figure and appearance were very similar to mine, so it was no wonder that Xue Li misunderstood.
However, I know very well that this person is not me.
And on the ground in front of this person are two crystal coffins, one of which lies another me, this I am my corpse, thinking that I can feel the connection between me and it, and in the other coffin lies the body of Situ Xiaozhu.
Seeing these two coffins, Situ Xiaozhu and I were stunned for a moment.
It seems that even the fact that we came to the "Hall of Eternal Life" is under the control of the other party.
"Is this also a script?"
Situ Xiaozhu looked at his coffin with some horror and asked.
I nodded silently.
We came here, and the coffin and our body were waiting for us here, which is too coincidental to look at, and only this one explanation can make sense.
Then, from behind the roots of the tree, a man walked out.
"Senior sister, why are you here?"
Situ Xiaozhu looked at the person who came out and said in surprise.
And I was looking at the black "crystal orchid" pattern on the waist of the school girl, which is also one of the "four flowers of the underworld", and it turned out that the third of the "four ghost servants" was the school girl.
"What? Looks a little surprised, doesn't it? ”
The senior sister looked at us and said with a smile.
"It's the end of the game, you two can go back to the corpses, and we have one last scene to shoot."
After saying that, she quickly pinched her hands, and I felt a darkness in front of my eyes, and by the time I opened my eyes again, I was already lying in the crystal coffin.
I looked at my hands and pushed the lid of the coffin open.
In another coffin, Situ Xiaozhu was also doing the same thing.
"I almost forgot, and there was one special audience member who forgot to bring it."
The younger sister clapped her hands while laughing.
Three more people walked in, these three people I am familiar with, one is the village chief of Biluo, one is the dimple beauty cuckoo, and the other is Jinse, who has not been seen for a long time, I saw Jinse so close again, and then compared with the old lady's words, I was sure that the portrait enshrined in the small building was very similar to Jinse.
At this moment, there are several strange patterns painted on Jinse's body, including the center of the eyebrows, and there are black ropes binding her hands and feet, obviously she was subdued by the head of Biluo Village and the cuckoo.
"Alright, you two come here."
The younger sister waved her hand at me and Situ Xiaozhu, and from beginning to end, she ignored Xiaomei and Xue Li, who had been standing next to her, as if they didn't exist at all.
"It's your knife."
She handed my straight knife and the folding knife that Situ Xiaozhu had hidden in his backpack to the two of us, and then violently ripped the clothes off my and Situ Xiaozhu's chests.
I saw that the footprints on Situ Xiaozhu's body were the same as my handprints.
"In the last scene of the script, only one of the two of you may have a chance to leave here alive, although no one has been able to do it for so many years, but this time there is a lot of hope, whether you live or die, make the final choice!"
The senior sister looked at the two of us and said calmly, as if she had dealt with such things more than once and had long been used to it.
In my mind, I was thinking about the last of the five photos, and in that photo, the knife in Situ Xiaozhu's hand was stuck in my neck at this moment.
If four of the five photos are realized, will the last one also be realized?
At this time, Situ Xiaozhu was already walking towards me with a knife.
She walked up to me, looked me in the eye and said.
"Ye Yu, kill me, I'm ready to die for you."
I also looked at Situ Xiaozhu's eyes, and then said slowly.
"Actually, you're the one left of the 'Four Ghost Servants', aren't you?"
Hearing my words, Situ Xiaozhu was stunned.
I continued.
"Besides, you're still the 'Under the Yellow Springs' we've been looking for, aren't you?"
After I finished speaking, everyone looked at me with strange eyes, and after a long time, Situ Xiaozhu looked into my eyes and asked word by word.
"How do you know?"
I smiled and said.
"I also figured it out not long ago, in fact, you still have a lot of doubts, do you remember the river lantern that Sisi picked up when you first entered the village, I just thought things were very weird, why did the river lantern suddenly wither? I thought it was really a water ghost, but after listening to the old lady's story, I realized that in this place, ordinary ghosts have no way to leave, so it can't be done by water ghosts at all, so the ghosts who do this are only one of the four ghost servants who can leave here. ”
"However, I didn't know anything at that time, and of course I wouldn't have thought that you were playing tricks, in fact, the script started at that time, right, and the script I got later in Xiaolou is just a castrated version, a script you want to show me."
I shook my phone in my hand and said.
"Because, if it's true, as the old lady said, this kind of thing only happens once a year in the Ghost Month, then the script should have started on the first day of the Ghost Month, not when we entered here."
"After that, I never doubted you, but, when I knew about the living dead, and knew that I might be dead, I began to think about why so many people said that you were a ghost, at that time I didn't know the role of blood jade, but I already noticed something unusual about you."
"In addition to having no shadow, you have never shed blood, and later when I became a ghost, I learned that ghosts do not bleed, although the body has a pulse, only people and the 'living dead' will bleed, but confirming that you are a ghost does not mean that you can confirm that you are one of the 'four ghost servants' and 'under the Yellow Spring'."
"The reason why I can be sure of these two things is because I contacted people outside in the small building, and I don't know if this is a loophole in your script, or if it is the behavior allowed by the freedom of your script, because the script can control the writing of each 'ghost servant', 'corpse servant' and 'human servant', but it does not arrange our behavior."
"When I was in contact with the outside, I asked about you, and luckily, someone checked your details, because she suspected that you hurt the younger sister, so, after I sent a group message everywhere, she contacted me, and she told me that the senior sister was actually taken away by you last year, which can also explain why the person who contacted me was you and not the group leader."
"After that, she investigated you for a year, and she found a lot of things, but I only asked the two most important points, one is whether you have any tattoos on your body, and the second is whether you have been this age and appearance for many years."
"As a result, I got an affirmative answer, she said that you have a black 'poppy' tattoo on your body, and you have no parents, and you have changed schools many times, and it has always been the way you are, and then I understood that you are 'under the Yellow Spring', and when the old lady talked to me about how to confirm the 'Four Ghost Servants', I also knew that you were actually the other one of the 'Four Ghost Servants'."
"When I confirmed this, I also understood that there were a lot of corpses in that cave, as well as eyeballs, ears and other things, and the answer was to make a new body for the ghost that could correspond to it, right?"
Then, I turned to look at the people present and said.
"Okay, now you, Biluo, Cuckoo, Xuemei, the four ghost servants are all here, the child of the ghost girl Jinse is also there, and the descendants of the goddess are also present, what do you want to do, can you tell me?"
