"Such an evil sect?" Li Yi smacked his tongue, but shrugged his shoulders again in a blink of an eye and said, "Brother Ji, to tell you the truth, I am a little hairy in my heart when you say it now...... However, I've known you for so long, just listening to you and Brother Dao brag, saying how weird and terrible the cases you have handled, how powerful! I've never really seen a big scene before, but this time, I can finally open my eyes. .org"

"You think you're going to Disneyland? Stinky fish, don't think I'm talking to you for fun—from a friend's point of view, I'd like to advise you to quit quickly. "I almost didn't shoot him on the head.

"What about you?"

"I received the money, and it's not good to breach the contract, otherwise how will the business be carried out in the future?" I laughed dryly, but obviously no one should joke with me, so I had to cough dryly, and continued, "I'm talking very seriously, if you agree, then I'll tell Cheng Cheng in a while, give you a car, and take advantage of the fact that it's still far away from Blackwater Town, you quickly turn around and go back - don't worry about me, if you can't do anything, I will persuade Cheng Cheng to give up too, I won't take my life seriously." ”

"Brother Ji, what you said is a bit of a contempt for people, are we the kind of people who don't pay attention to righteousness? Hey, isn't that right, Brother Dao, you can also say something! ”

Lao Dao had been quietly listening to me and Li Yi talking, and then he said, "You said that this time there is more luck and less luck, can you be specific?" ”

I don't answer the rhetorical question: "Did you really decide not to leave?" ”

Lao Dao shook his head: "Don't forget, you kid still owes me some money, you are dead, who will I ask to collect the account?" ”

Li Yi shook his head: "Brother Ji, I can't escape, I still count on you for my one million debts." ”

In the end, the two said in unison: "Don't go!" ”

It's all said and done, and there's nothing more to talk about, and if I twist it again, I really look down on them and don't treat them as good friends.

"Okay, since you don't want to leave, then I have something to say first-if something strange happens, you must believe me unconditionally, even if I ask you to cut me with a knife, you can't hesitate in the slightest! If you can do it, I won't advise you to leave. ”

Both nodded solemnly.

"Old Dao, don't you want me to talk about it specifically? Okay, it's okay now anyway, let's analyze the situation in front of us. First of all, the death of Qiao Yu and Mi Lan, I think it may not be so simple, that is, the case of Qiao Zhenyu killing his wife and son may have something else strange, and I doubt that the book - the best-selling horror "Black Town", may not be written by Qiao Yu at all, I personally think that the biggest possibility is that it was written by Qiao Zhenbang and published in the name of his son. ”

Lao Dao continued: "Qiao Yu is a real gentleman, his body and brain have long been hollowed out by wine, such a person, can he write decently?" I don't believe it anyway. ”

"When was Blacktown published? More than a month ago. And Lao Dao, you said that Qiao Zhenbang bought a huge amount of life insurance more than a year ago. Isn't that a bit of a contradiction? If I were Qiao Zhenbang, and since I had a murder plan more than a year ago, why would I transfer a book I wrote that was destined to be a big seller to this person I wanted to kill? Did he gain fame for nothing? What's the point? This is not a strong evidence to overturn the case, but it just makes a little bit of sense. ”

Lao Dao agreed: "Qiao Zhenbang's premeditated murder case, the police bureau is only locking the suspect now, and there are still many procedural steps before conviction." ”

Li Yi suddenly said "Huh" and said, "Brother Ji, the book written by Qiao Yu is called "Black Town", and the place we are going to is called "Black Water Town", is this actually talking about the same place?" Qiao Zhenbang, that old boy, has it all been counted a long time ago? ”

Blackwater and Blacktown......

Li Yi's associations diverged a little far, but they inspired me - I suddenly remembered the strange "Black Town" with a locust cover that Shen Tangzhi gave me before we set off!

We had all our luggage in the car, and my stuff was crammed into a gray "Kohilan" hiking bag, which was now in the last row of seats in the eight-seater SUV.

I pulled the book out of my bag, and as soon as I opened the heavy dark brown locust wood book cover, I gasped!

The old knife saw that my expression was wrong and asked, "What's wrong?" ”

My throat was dry, and I showed him the book I had spread out: "Look ......"

The old knife glanced at it and said with a puzzled expression: "A blank notebook? Isn't that weird? ”

Only then did I realize that the "Black Town" in my hand and the "Black Town" book sold on the market were completely different from each other in appearance!

Therefore, the old knife didn't recognize the "notebook" I was holding in my hand at all, which was actually a copy of "Black Town"!

After briefly explaining the ins and outs of the book in my hand, the old knife took the book with an incredulous face, turned it continuously, not only carefully rubbed the pages with his fingers, but also raised it to his nose and sniffed it carefully.

The old knife said: "The texture of the pages is indeed strange, and it doesn't smell like invisible ink, that thing has a special smell, I know it as soon as I smell it - are you sure it was originally printed with words?" Hey, wait a minute! There are words appearing! What's going on?! ”

At the end of the old knife, the voice has changed!

Because, on the page he opened now, words were appearing!

It's like an invisible typewriter printing text on the blank book in the old knife's hand!

The text is one after the other, line after line, and appears at a speed just equal to the normal reading of the average person......

And with the increase of text, the text displayed on it forms the content, and the content is gradually detailed.

But my old knife's faces and I became more and more ugly, and Li Yi, who was driving, almost drove the car off the road because of a few glances at the text on the page.

In order to keep Li Yi from being distracted and focus on driving, Lao Dao began to read out the text.

The content of the text is still presented in form.

The protagonist is still the protagonist of "Black Town" - Jolo.

The first thing that shocked me was that the words that appeared like ghosts in front of me were definitely not the "Black Town" signed by the author Qiao Yu!

I've read most of the "Qiao Yu Edition" of "Black Town", and I never think that it and the words in front of me are from the same book!

Some of the ghostly words on the pages are as follows:

[I'm Jolo, and three days ago, I finally left that nightmarish mental sanatorium - no, I'm not mentally ill, I'm just...... Amnesia.

Right now, I'm driving on a country road leading to Taiping Township.

Amnesia has had a lot of bad consequences, for example, everyone in the sanatorium (including the real psychopaths), everybody told me that they had read my books, and they praised me that my writing was so good that it was too good to sleep alone at night — well, they confirmed that I was an accomplished horror.

But I can't think of anything, and I don't have any writing skills.

I only remember one thing - a tragic car accident.

My wife and son died in the crash...... I vividly remember my wife's bloody face before I went into shock, and I asked my son to cry for help, "Dad, I'm in so much pain, help me." He kept repeating until he couldn't make any sound in his throat...... Oh my God, he's just had his 11th birthday!

When I think of this scene, I feel like my soul is being tortured in the most vicious and terrible torture in a crematorium! And I lost a part of my soul!

The reason I decided to leave the hospital was because I had some weird dreams lately.

In my dream, I was scribbling, my desk was sinking, surrounded by a dim river, and at the bottom of the river were countless graves, one of which had a pair of red candles burning in front of it.

In the candlelight, I saw my wife and son, smiling and waving at me...

I wanted to go to my wife and children, but I couldn't move.

A man covered in a thick cloud of black smoke lay on my back, and I could not tell whether it was a man or a woman, and it said a place name in my ear in a cold tone.

"Go there, or the serpent will eat you." It was so hard that I couldn't breathe, and my bones rattled.

I found the name of the place - Taiping Town.

There is a voice in my heart that says: You have to go there, you have to go there.

I think my wife and children may not be dead, I have to find out.

One more thing is strange, I seem to have some strange scars on my body......]

The text that follows is about Jolo's experience on the road.

Car Breakdown......

Got on a dilapidated bus full of spooky passengers......

After noticing that something was wrong and getting off, the bus was smashed to pieces......

It turned out that the driver and conductor on the car turned out to be paper dummies!

"This ...... Isn't that what we're experiencing today? The old knife's hands holding the book trembled slightly.

Li Yi stretched out a hand and grabbed his scalp again and again: "I really hear that my scalp is numb, fuck me!" The experience of the protagonist here is basically the same as what you told me ten minutes ago! If I hadn't known you wouldn't lie, I'd have wondered if you were trying to manipulate me! Brother Ji, I urgently need you to give me a professional explanation now! The hair on my whole head now looks like it's going to stand up one by one......"

"This book is not simple, for the time being, we will use it as a kind of 'display medium'." I first talked to Lao Dao and Li Yi about the anomalies of this Huaimu book, and then said, "Many strange things have rules to follow - just like when we encounter a murder case, there are very few indiscriminate killings, there is always a motive, and the same is true for supernatural events." There are many things in the world that are beyond the scope of our knowledge, and it would be very foolish to simply classify them all as 'ghosts'. When it comes to this book specifically, I think it's similar to our computer monitors, which will display text when it receives some kind of signal - we don't need to panic, at least until now, the book in the old knife's hand hasn't bitten his finger, right? ”

"You're so fucking comforting." The old knife threw Ben into my hand as if his hand was hot, "Then you say, what does this mean?" Is it a prophecy? Our current situation is exactly the same as that of the main character in this book, Jolo, does it mean that we have actually become the main character of the book - did this protagonist in "Black Town" die in the end? ”

"Wait a minute."

At this moment, I suddenly remembered something very important!

And I didn't even remember it until now!

I quickly took out my hand, found Shen Tangzhi's number from the address book, and quickly dialed it!
