Chapter 113: Strange Pictures
At night it was dark in the village and there was a misty fog all around. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoThe faint moonlight on the village path gives the illusion of being in a fantasy world.
In this environment, the villager raised his hands slightly and walked along the path with his back to the crowd.
Everyone followed, all of them nervous, for fear that one of them would accidentally wake up the sleepwalking villager. It is said that people who are awakened during sleepwalking will end up miserable, and some will even be scared to death directly.
Especially Lan Haichen and Jiang Yuyan, they are not only afraid of waking up the villagers, but more importantly, they are not to be discovered by the killers in front.
Lan Haichen squatted over a section of low bushes, signaling Jiang Yuyan to hurry up and follow.
"It's a shame that if there were no moles, we would be able to follow them while letting others spy on other players.
In this way, the scope of suspicion can be greatly narrowed through elimination, and if you are lucky, you can even find all the killers at once! Jiang Yuyan came to Lan Haichen's side, and Lan Haichen said in a low voice.
"Aren't there two of us? If you want to do that, we'll split up. This will also accomplish your vision. Jiang Yuyan also replied in a low voice.
"No kidding, there are four killers this time. Once they find out, if you don't have a companion to take care of you, you will definitely die. Lan Haichen smiled bitterly.
"In that case, we have to give up on this idea. Or, let's wait until the villagers are done with this? There will be some time until dawn, and we still have a chance. Jiang Yuyan suggested.
"I can only think like this first, I hope that these killers will not be scattered and give us a chance." Lan Haichen nodded and said.
In this way, everyone carefully followed the sleepwalking villager and walked towards the east end of the village.
Eventually, the villager stopped in front of a courtyard at the eastern end of the village. There are many houses around here, one by one, crookedly distributed on both sides of the path.
"Here it is, it looks like this is where he lives." Lan Haichen looked at the courtyard from afar and said, and silently remembered the location of the courtyard in his heart.
The villager opened the courtyard door and groped his way into the house, but the killers did not dare to go directly to the door, but directly climbed over the wall into the courtyard and followed into the house.
Lan Haichen and Jiang Yuyan were embarrassed, they could only look in carefully against the courtyard wall, and did not dare to enter the house.
"It's so damnning, we can't even know what's going on inside." Jiang Yuyan looked at the room and said anxiously.
"I can only wait first, and I must not rush in, it is easy to be discovered by the killer." Lan Haichen responded, the more times like this, the more cautious he should be, and he must not be rash.
So the two of them waited outside, and it didn't take long for a woman's exclamation to suddenly come from inside the house! Although the voice was deliberately suppressed, the horror in the voice could still be heard, as if he had seen something terrifying.
Listening to the voice, Lan Haichen vaguely felt that it was a pleated skirt calling.
"What the hell is going on inside, it actually scares people out loud." Lan Haichen frowned and said, he was really curious about the situation inside.
"What should I do, do you really want to wait for them to leave before we go in?" Jiang Yuyan asked.
"Can't be impatient, wait." Lan Haichen held Jiang Yuyan's hand and said, Jiang Yuyan had to nod when he saw this.
It didn't take long for the killers to come out of the house one after another. Although they couldn't see their expressions clearly, judging from their postures, each of them stumbled a little and seemed to be quite frightened.
Lan Haichen looked at them and became even more curious about the situation in the house.
The killers trembled and left the courtyard one after another, and as soon as they left, Lan Haichen and Jiang Yuyan hurriedly climbed over the wall and entered and came to the door of the house.
"Just let me see what's scary in there!" Lan Haichen carefully pushed open the door and leaned into half of his body to observe the situation inside.
It was dark inside, and it took Lan Haichen some time to see what was going on inside. I saw that the furnishings inside were old, and all kinds of messy things were placed in various places in the house.
If it weren't for the silence in the house just now, Lan Haichen would even feel that the killers had ransacked this place.
There is also a room on the right-hand side, which appears to be the villager's bedroom. Lan Haichen and Jiang Yuyan cautiously walked to the door, opened the curtain and looked into the house.
It's not big, just a bed and a table, and there's no one.
"Strange, where is that man?" Lan Haichen looked around and said.
"It's not like the other villagers, it's going to disappear again, is it?" Jiang Yuyan also said.
"Could it be that this game area will cooperate with this villager, send him in when he sleepwalks, and get him back when he is finished?" Lan Haichen said with a smile.
"The killer's exclamation just now, wouldn't it be the process of seeing the villagers leave here?" Jiang Yuyan guessed that just looking at this house, Jiang Yuyan really couldn't think of anything scary.
"Chances are, let's look here again and see what else we find." Lan Haichen said.
So the two began to search around the house, and it didn't take long for them to find out.
"Come and see, Yuyan, there's something painted on this wall." Lan Haichen tore off the quilt on the bed and pointed to the wall next to the edge of the bed.
Jiang Yuyan hurriedly went over to check and found that as Lan Haichen said, there were many strange pictures painted on this wall. It feels like a person who turns around and scribbles on the wall when he can't sleep.
"There are no formal schools in such villages, and there are certainly not many literate people. If the villager was illiterate, he would probably have recorded something in this way. ā
Lan Haichen looked at the paintings, imagining the scene of the villager waking up from a nightmare every night and smearing it on the wall.
"Then let's see what's drawn on it!" Jiang Yuyan said and looked carefully.
The picture is simple, clearly divided into several small sections. The characters in it are shaped like the stickmen that are popular now, and the tools seem to be charcoal that has been burned.
I saw a man in the first painting, and in front of him was a dark shadow. Something like two hands stretched out from the black shadow and grabbed at the man's body, as if to kill the person in the painting, and blood spurted out all around him.
"The meaning of this painting is most likely that a person was killed by something. In connection with the situation here, I think this black shadow is likely to be a ghost, and the dead may be a player. Lan Haichen guessed.
I have to say that although this villager doesn't know how to draw, what he draws is still very easy to understand. Could it be that he was unexpectedly a genius?
The second painting shows a man dragging another person, the place covered in blood, apparently the person who died earlier.
Next to it was a well, the manhole cover was opened, and a strange black gas came out of the well.
The third is of the living man throwing the dead into the well and then hurrying away.
"This process is consistent with what we saw the villager sleepwalking in before, and it seems that there is indeed a well there, at least there used to be." Lan Haichen said after reading it.
"But where is the well now? If the dead man is really the player, then why did the villager throw him into the well?
Shouldn't the dead player be in the place of voting, all the way to the end of the game? Jiang Yuyan said strangely.
"It's also possible that the throwing into the well happened after the game ended, it's impossible to say. But it must have happened at night. Lan Haichen said and pointed to the top of the picture, where a curved moon was drawn, and the meaning was very clear.
"You can't do this kind of thing during the day, and others will not suffer when they see it." Jiang Yuyan said and looked at the bottom of the wall, where there was still a painting.
At the top of the painting was a well, and there seemed to be an eerie passage underneath it, in which the corpses of the previous ones were located.
And at the end of this passage, there is a strange strange man drawn here, with horns and several hands, which is really strange.
"Could it be that there is an evil spirit at the end of the passage that eats people?" Jiang Yuyan looked at the painting and said.
"Not necessarily, the meaning of this painting is very vague and not very clear. Either the content is difficult to convey in simple pictures, or the villager is not clear about the specific situation. This so-called evil ghost may just be a way for the villagers to express their fear. Lan Haichen inferred.
"Is that all? A villager pushes a player into a non-existent, eerie well? Jiang Yuyan frowned and said.
"So far, that's all it seems." Lan Haichen replied, he couldn't figure out what it meant.
"Let's look again, maybe there's something else to discover." Jiang Yuyan said again. So the two continued to search in the house, but unfortunately, they found nothing.
So they had to give up, and Shi Shiran exited the house and came to the courtyard.
"It seems that this is the only way to do it tonight, and when it is daytime, let's come back and communicate with this villager." Jiang Yuyan looked back at the room and said.
"Yes, it is necessary to see him again." Lan Haichen also said.
So the two of them stopped climbing over the wall, and walked directly to the gate of the courtyard, intending to leave here.
But as soon as they arrived at the door, a dog bark suddenly sounded, Lan Haichen and Jiang Yuyan were startled, looked at the place where the sound came from, and saw that there was a kennel in the corner of the yard, and a light-colored big dog was barking at the two of them.
"Oh my God, there's a dog here!" Jiang Yuyan took two steps back and said, obviously frightened. Fortunately, the dog seemed to be on a leash and did not pounce.
"There can be animals in the play area, I forgot that." Lan Haichen also took two steps back, many people in the village can raise dogs, and it is not strange that a dog appears here.
"Let's get out of here, don't let it bark again." It was not a good thing to make such a loud noise, so the two hurriedly withdrew from the courtyard.
As soon as he came out, Lan Haichen noticed that four black shadows appeared on the path not far away, looking at him strangely.
"Wouldn't it, by such a coincidence, they haven't left yet?" Lan Haichen looked at those guys and muttered.
Those four black shadows were the killers who had left before, but I didn't expect them to appear again at this time!
