Chapter 10 Tracking
If he were to change his point of view, he would definitely be surprised to think that Li Zeyan was crazy. In the middle of the night, follow a group of terrifying ghosts to the mountain, once the whereabouts are exposed, isn't this a way to kill yourself?
The reason why Li Zeyan made such a bold decision was because he had a faint feeling in his heart that the place where the ghosts went, and the secret behind it, was likely to be related to how they left the island.
Not only did he think so, but even Zhang Jingrui and Betsy on the side also held the same opinion. Although Wang Hai was scared, when he saw that several companions around him were determined to follow, he also gritted his teeth and said stubbornly: "That's okay, I'll go with you too." ”
"Hmm." Li Zeyan nodded, carefully observing the scene outside. After making sure that there were no other ghosts in the village, he softly pushed the door open and beckoned the three behind him to follow.
It was not difficult to track the ghosts of these villagers, and the dirt road outside the village was full of dense bloody footprints, so several people followed this series of footprints with lanterns and searched all the way into the mountains. Li Zeyan observed the direction of the terrain and climbed a high slope with a few people. Afterwards, Li Zeyan motioned for them to all lie on the slope, quietly waiting for the team of ghosts.
As he expected, about a few minutes later, by the light of the moon, everyone saw this strange team again. It's just that it's different from when they left, and at some point, the ghosts have been regularly lined up on the left and right, and at the front, there are four more sturdy ghosts leading the way. But what caught their attention the most was that the four ghosts carried a black coffin on their shoulders.
"Where did this coffin come from? Haven't seen it before? Wang Hai asked his companions with surprised eyes, and Zhang Jingrui and Betsy also shook their heads in confusion.
Under the cold moonlight, the team carrying the coffin moved slowly and strangely along the mountain road. The ghosts in the entire team, regardless of gender, old and young, all lowered their heads, followed the ghosts in front of them with jerky and stiff steps, and there was no communication during the whole process.
This serious and strange atmosphere also infected several people lurking in the heights, although they did not know what these ghosts were doing, but their intuition told them that something more terrifying must be coming.
"And ...... Keep following? Wang Hai had goosebumps all over his body, and asked Li Zeyan beside him softly.
"Follow." Li Zeyan stared at the team and replied without hesitation.
The ghosts walked very slowly, and after a few people came down the hillside, it took only ten minutes or so for them to catch up with the large group. In order to ensure their own safety, under the leadership of Li Zeyan, several of them always kept a very long distance from the team, and each time they waited until the team almost disappeared from sight before they dared to catch up and continue to track.
After following the group of ghosts for two or three hours, the fear in everyone's hearts had dissipated a lot after confirming that there was no danger. When he walked halfway up the mountain, Wang Hai couldn't help but speak: "Where are they going?" You say, could there be anything more terrifying on this mountain? Also, what's in that coffin......"
"Who knows." Zhang Jingrui smiled bitterly: "You ask so many questions in one breath, who can answer them." ”
"There's something in that coffin, and it's not light." Li Zeyan bent down, looked carefully at the footprints on the ground and said, "You see, the footprints of those four ghosts walking in full range are much deeper than those left by other ghosts. ”
"That's right." Zhang Jingrui's hand gently brushed the marks on the ground and nodded affirmatively.
Betsy suddenly thought of something: "What is in there, it can't be a person......" Her words made the three people present shudder, in fact, everyone vaguely had the same conjecture in their hearts, and this coffin was probably one of the people who had been separated before.
"I don't know who is so unlucky." Thinking of the group of ghosts walking quietly in the mountains under the moonlight just now, Wang Hai shuddered: "I'd rather die, if the coffin is still a living person, how desperate it is......"
"No, it won't." Betsy only felt a chill rise in her back, and her heart was hairy.
"What's in the coffin, just follow it and see." Zhang Jingrui said.
When the group was about to leave, the keen Li Zeyan suddenly turned around and said to somewhere in the dark: "After hiding for so long, you can come out." ”
"Ah, what? Anyone? Wang Hai was a little confused.
Li Zeyan nodded: "Well, and since we left the village, the other party has been following behind." ”
From the very beginning, he noticed that something seemed to be following his group, but he didn't say anything for safety reasons.
Along the way, they followed the group of ghosts, and the thing behind them followed them to the present, but it was certain that it was not the ghosts that followed them, but the ...... Mankind.
Sure enough, as soon as Li Zeyan's words fell, a small sound came from the grass behind the tree. Soon, a man came out of the darkness. I saw that the other party was gray-faced, ragged, and covered with all kinds of abrasions, and at a glance, I knew that it was caused by a panicked escape.
After seeing that familiar mean face, Wang Hai was a little surprised: "It's you?" What appeared in front of everyone was the middle-aged man with sharp beaks and monkey cheeks on the beach before, Ma Yuezong.
I saw that his face was frightened, and he didn't dare to step forward, and he always kept a large distance from the four of them. When Li Zeyan saw the other party's reaction, he immediately understood that something strange must have happened to that group of people, so he said: "Don't worry, we have no malicious intentions." Besides, I discovered your tracking in the first place. If we want to hurt you, there's no need to wait until now. ”
His words made Ma Yuezong relax his vigilance slightly, and then, Betsy immediately asked, "What about the others?" Why are you the only one? ”
As soon as he heard the girl's words, Ma Yuezong suddenly trembled like chaff, and the blood on his face faded completely.
Wang Hai saw that the other party was very scared, so he kindly stepped forward and comforted: "It's okay, you don't have to be afraid, we have no malicious intentions." But the other party didn't eat this, as long as Wang Hai took a step forward, he would take a step back. For a moment, the two were awkwardly frozen on the side of the road.
Zhang Jingrui saw that he resisted like this, and was reluctant to respond to their questions, so he said impatiently: "Let's leave him alone for now, it's time to lose it in a while." As for this man, let him stay on his own. With that, he turned around and pretended to be ready to leave.
His trick really worked, Ma Yuezong saw that a few people were going to leave him, so he came back to his senses and rushed up: "Don't, don't, I beg you, take me!" This island is terrifying, full of ghosts! ”
