Chapter 21: Machines
The two men ran to the residential area and finally stopped after making sure they had distanced themselves far enough from the cemetery. But they still looked in the direction of the cemetery from time to time www.biquge.info for fear that something terrible would suddenly come out.
"The man who hung from the big tombstone just now...... Do you know each other? ”
Shi Yuan was still panting desperately, and the fright and running just now made his physical strength seriously overdrawn.
"I didn't look carefully just now, but now that I think about it, I did see it, it seems to be surnamed Hu."
Shi Yuan remembered the scream just now, and still had palpitations. It was definitely not done by man, that huge tombstone appeared out of thin air, no matter how you think about it, it is impossible to reach it with human strength. It's impossible to know what the ghost killed on the basis of it, but if you think about it, there may be no basis at all.
Shi Yuan remembered the horror movies and ghost stories he had watched before, there was a kind of crazy killing ghosts, they would kill all the people who entered the range of his perception, whether it was related to his life or not. The one in the cemetery just now may be a ghost, and it is likely that there is more than one. After all, it is a cemetery, a habitat for the dead. But no matter how many ghosts there were in the graveyard just now, it was obvious that they couldn't kill all the humans within their range in an instant, otherwise, he and Luo Yasen would not have been able to come out alive at all. In other words, the abilities of those ghosts are limited, and they are not completely unsolvable.
"Let's go, we'd better not stay outside all the time. Come to my house and study the photos you just took. ”
Royasen's words were irrefutable. Shi Yuan didn't have any opinions, so he walked towards his house with Luo Yasen.
To Shi Yuan's great surprise, Luo Yasen's home is a very magnificent three-story building, and there is a fairly large courtyard, which shows that the family is very wealthy.
"Come in."
Luo Yasen opened the door, and without a superfluous word, he walked in first.
Shi Yuan walked in and observed the environment in the building.
Very luxurious. In this remote mountain village, this building seems a little out of place, you must know that the rest of the farmhouses are quite basic, even if there are a few slightly better houses, they are basically ordinary brick houses, even the village committee, it is only a two-story office building.
But Luo Yasen did not mean to introduce his family's situation. There was no one else in the house, and it seemed that the huge house was inhabited only by Luo Yasen.
Shi Yuan didn't ask much, the most important thing now was to figure out the picture behind Yang Lu's tombstone.
"Let's look into it."
Luo Yasen poured two cups of hot water and sat on the sofa with Shi Yuan.
"Actually, this map is obviously a map, this Dark Raven Ridge Village." Shi Yuan said.
"Yes, that's very clear. What else do you have in mind? ”
"Color-wise, noteworthy. The whole thing is black, but this thing," Shi Yuan said, pointing to the forest space, "is red, and it is basically certain that this is what we are looking for." ”
"Hmm. What else? ”
"This clearing, which is supposed to be a glade halfway up the mountain, has been there many times. When exploring...... Passing by there too......"
Shi Yuan stopped suddenly. At first, Luo Yasen thought that he was caught up in memories and regrets about the expedition again, but soon he realized that Shi Yuan's expression was not regret.
"Did you think of anything?" Royassin asked.
"In that glade, there's a machine."
"What machine?"
"I don't know, but, this square object," Shi Yuan pointed to the red object in the photo again, "it should be the machine." When I saw it, I thought it was really strange, and there was no power supply halfway up the mountain, so I couldn't see any use for such a big machine there. ”
"The machine is big?"
"yes, it's big, it feels like at least a big truck is going to have to be used to transport it."
"Not necessarily." Royassin leaned back on the couch and stretched.
"What do you mean?"
"That machine doesn't have to be put there."
Shi Yuan's movements and expressions froze. He still clearly remembers that on the day of the expedition, he and Qiu Xiaoxing had inspected the machine together and tried to operate it.
"I ...... ...... touched that machine," Shi Yuan said with an expressionless look in his eyes, "If I'm not mistaken, the people who touched that machine at that time were Yang Lu, Qiu Xiaoxing, and me, and no one else had touched it." After that, Yang Lu and Qiu Xiaoxing both died......"
"You suspect there is some curse on that machine?"
"It's quite possible!" Shi Yuan suddenly became a little emotional, "The deaths of Yang Lu and Qiu Xiaoxing are not a coincidence, nor is it bad luck, it must be because of this!" I...... I'm going to die...... too."
Shi Yuan hugged his head with his hand. Days of mental torture had made it impossible for him to think normally.
"Don't be cranky, if that's the case, do you still have a life now?"
"That's because ......"
"You're fast? How can it be? Do you think you can run away from the curse and run away from the ghosts? Listen to me, don't think about it, and quickly solve the matter in front of you. ”
Shi Yuan's mood calmed down a little, but he still kept blinking because of nervousness.
"Shi Yuan, now our goal is very clear, it is the machine in the glade. Say, when to go? ”
"You don't want to go now, do you?"
Shi Yuan's eyes widened in surprise.
"That's right, I'm just going to go now. Don't tell me you still want to rest slowly, recuperate and go again, now you're not playing escape rooms, if you don't act quickly, you don't know how to die. But don't worry, you still have to eat lunch. ”
After speaking, Luo Yasen got up and walked into the kitchen, took out the quick-frozen dumplings from the refrigerator, put them in the pot and boiled them.
"You quickly adjust your emotions, and the constant loss of your soul doesn't help at all. Actually, I know you're smart, but your timidity restricts your IQ. ”
"I'm not timid!"
"Then you prove it with your actions."
Shi Yuan was speechless. He picked up his phone again and studied the contents of the photo.
"The lightning signs on both sides of the machine may indicate that we need to start the machine."
"Well," Royasen nodded, "it should be." However, as you just said, there is no power supply at all halfway up the mountain, so how can it be started? ”
"I don't know. Maybe we need to take a field trip. ”
Royasen didn't say anything more. He agrees with Shi Yuan's analysis. Judging by the current intelligence, it seems that the conclusion is very simple, and there is nothing complicated at all, but it is precisely this that arouses Royasen's suspicions.
