Chapter XXV. Cooperation
The sound of "rumbling" thunder is accompanied by lightning flashes from time to time, and the village is facing a rare rainstorm.
On the muddy road, four figures rushed from far and near, and finally stopped in front of Widow Li's courtyard.
It was the four Xiao Mo who had just left Xu Laohan's house. They learned from the village chief and Wang Abacus that Widow Li had entered the village by mistake seven or eight years ago, and because her memory had been replaced, she mistakenly thought that she had married in the village, but her husband died of illness, so she unfortunately became a "widow".
When Xiao Mo learned what happened to Widow Li, he couldn't help but feel chills in his heart about this terrifying memory replacement ability, this ability was simply terrifying, and he was completely recklessly modifying his life.
And the person whose memory has been brutally altered does not notice it at all.
After hearing this, not only Xiao Mo, but even Wen Qiayun and Li Shuai were afraid to think that what they thought was a real memory, a real life, could it also be fabricated out of thin air?
"Let's go inside."
After wiping the rain from his face, Xiao Mo pushed open the courtyard door of Widow Li's house, and then walked in with Li Shuai and the others.
Now that they know the identity and experience of Widow Li's outsiders, as long as they explain things clearly, it will not be difficult to win Widow Li's cooperation, after all, anyone wants to regain their freedom and escape from this ghost place.
After entering the courtyard, everyone didn't stop all the way, and went straight to the house where Widow Li was, Xiao Mo tried to push the door, but was a little surprised to find that the door was plugged in.
"Knock knock ......!"
Xiao Mo knocked on the door of the house and called Widow Li. But the room was unusually quiet, and there was no response.
Just as Xiao Mo was about to let Li Shuai break in, Li Shuai's voice came from the side first:
There is no need to knock, Widow Li is already "beautiful and picturesque". ”
Hearing this, Xiao Mo and Wen Qiayun were stunned, but soon they understood what the so-called beautiful and picturesque meant.
Xiao Mo didn't use Li Shuai's move, he used all his strength to kick the door in front of him, I don't know if it was out of anger, or because Wen Mei didn't want to make a fool of herself. He kicked the door open.
Looked at. The three of them, including Li Shuai, were stunned for a while.
Xiao Mo didn't care about the surprised eyes of the three people, he rushed into the house by himself, and soon found Widow Li in the bedroom, who had turned into a painting.
Touching Widow Li's cold skin, Xiao Mo's scalp tingled and unfolded the human skin. Afterwards. Widow Lee's frightened face was revealed.
"It's good now. We can't find out Wang Zi's whereabouts at all. ”
Xiao Mo looked very annoyed, and at this time, Li Shuai came over and took Widow Li's human skin scroll from Xiao Mo's hand without fear. After unfolding it, he frowned and looked at it.
"This supernatural power is really TM, and it can turn a big living person into a human skin painting. Even the boobs are retracted, how on earth is this done? ”
Xiao Mo thought that Li Shuai would say something, but it turned out to be undisciplined nonsense, he shook his head and came to the front of the big box, and then observed it carefully.
Wen Qiayun also came to the box at this time, obviously she didn't feel that a whole dead man's skin was artistic, she only felt a tumbling stomach after looking at it, and even the clothes on her body were soaked in cold sweat.
"This is the box I told you about." Wen Qiayun reminded Xiao Mo with a pale face.
"Well, it's really similar to the village chief's box, but the size is different." Xiao Mo nodded after groaning, and then unexpectedly lifted the lid of the box.
Wen Qiayun was startled by Xiao Mo's reckless move, and subconsciously wanted to retreat, but heard Xiao Mo say:
"Don't worry, there's nothing in the box."
"Empty boxes?" Wen Qiayun poked her head over curiously, and a delicate and beautiful face was close to Xiao Mo's eyes.
Xiao Mo carefully withdrew his gaze from Wen Qiayun's face, and then looked inside the box again, but this time he still found nothing.
"This box may have contained something before, otherwise such a large box would never have been left empty here, taking up space and not looking good.
It's just that we don't know what it was in front of us. ”
Xiao Mo stared at the box with a thoughtful look, while Wen Qiayun guessed uncertainly:
"Such a big box, if it doesn't contain a lot of things, then it can only be filled with ghosts?"
"I don't think it's a ghost." Xiao Mo said slowly.
"Why?"
"Because if the box was filled with ghosts, then Widow Li would have died a long time ago. If you look at the smashes on the box, it's clear that the box was locked at first, but it was broken by someone.
As for the person who destroys, it is naturally Widow Li nine times out of ten.
You must know that the ghost is not a human, and it will not be grateful to people just because it was released, so it will not kill it. ”
"But if the box isn't a ghost, what is it?" Wen Qiayun looked at Xiao Mo in confusion, Xiao Mo sighed lightly and shook his head in confusion:
"What exactly was in this box at the beginning, except for Widow Li to know, maybe the only person who met her in the middle of the night was left. But we don't know who that person is or where he is. ”
Speaking of this, Xiao Mo paused, and then said:
"Let's go back to the village chief and them first, put aside the matter of Wang Zi and the unkind monk for the time being, this is not something that can be solved in a hurry after all.
The village chief and Wang abacus have escaped for so many years, and I think they should know a lot about the strangeness of this village, and maybe they can bring us some unexpected gains. ”
Wen Qiayun and Li Shuai had no opinions, but the little attendant's face was extremely good, obviously worried about the bad monk, after all, the two of them knew each other first, and then they got in the car together to join them, and the relationship was naturally very deep.
Seeing the appearance of the little follower, Xiao Mo gritted his teeth and comforted:
"Well, let's go back to the village chief now, and then let the village chief go from house to house with us, and try our luck as a dead horse and a live horse doctor."
Hearing Xiao Mo say this, the little attendant's expression was a little moved, and he nodded stiffly.
Everyone found two umbrellas from Widow Li's house, and the two of them ran back to Xu Laohan's house with one to make.
Xu Laohan's home has now become a base for foreign survivors such as the village chief and Wang Abacus, especially the village chief, because there is a ghost wife living in the house, so he doesn't dare to go back at all.
When the village chief and others saw Xiao Mo and them coming back, they were naturally very surprised, and Xiao Mo didn't hide anything from them, so he told the news of Widow Li's death.
The village chief and the others just sighed after hearing this, and they didn't feel anything unbelievable, after all, they had already seen such an example of Widow Li's sudden death over the years.
Xiao Mo only mentioned the death of Widow Li in passing, and the real focus was on the disappearance of Wang Zi and the unkind monk.
"Did you disappear last night?"
The village chief and Wang Abacus thought about it and wanted to say that the two of them might have died, but they thought that no body was found, so they didn't say anything about death.
"Well, it should be, otherwise I'd have come here in the morning."
When Xiao Mo said this, he suddenly changed his words:
"So please come with us and go door-to-door to find out."
Although the village chief and others were reluctant to find someone under the rainstorm, their lives were at stake, and Xiao Mo had already talked about this, so they could only reluctantly agree.
However, there were almost ten of them in a group of about ten people, who braved the torrential rain and bent their legs from house to house, and searched carefully, but even so, they still failed to find any trace of Wang Zi and the others.
Xiao Mo and the others had to give up looking, and they had already given birth to the worst result in their hearts.
However, the person who is not a good monk is washing his body stained with rotten crumbs with water, and at the same time chatting with the young man leaning against the wall.
The young man's body was also disgustingly stained with a layer of rotting flesh, but he didn't mean to wash it as if he couldn't smell anything. Holding his arms, he leaned lazily against the wall that was constantly falling into the water. (To be continued......)
