Chapter 39: Into the Mountain

Zhang Tianyi sat in the conference room until dark, and his mind replayed what he had seen and encountered during this period of time.

The weird dream a few days ago, in which I saw Moriko and the previous deceased, it looked like a dream, but everything was so real.

In the end, he asked Moriko who was the murderer of him, why couldn't Moriko speak? Could it be because of the coffin nail in his throat?

Wu Shengnan also said that he didn't understand what the coffin nail in Senzi's throat represented, and the crime scene at that time was clearly carefully arranged by the murderer, and the purpose of the hammer tied to Senzi's feet was to retrieve the soul. At that time, Wu Shengnan mentioned that the reason why the murderer used a hammer was because the hammer stone was impenetrable to yin and yang, but the coffin nail found in Senzi's throat in the end was made of iron and could penetrate yin and yang.

Let's go back to the coffin nail in Moriko's throat, if it was really the murderer who did it on purpose, what was the purpose?

Could it be that the murderer expected that he would see Moriko again, so he put a coffin nail in his throat in order to make him speechless?

Zhang Tian trembled after thinking about it, he couldn't believe that there was such a person secretly watching him, or driving himself to go where he wanted.

And then there's the circus, where the performers are all dead victims in the town, and the host said that they were bought from someone else, and if such a world really exists, who will sell them as if they were commodities? And how could he dream of their world? Zhang Tianyi felt that his brain capacity was becoming more and more insufficient.

What I can't figure out even more is the sacrifice of walking the earth gate, and through a series of evidence, it can be basically judged that the murderer is imitating the sacrifice of the earth gate. Whether it is the deceased who died in the Five Elements before or Wang Youcai, whose limbs were arranged in a sacrificial shape, they all have an inseparable relationship with Walking the Earth Gate, including Lin Keren, who seems to play a very important role in the sacrifice.

What does this murderer have to do with walking the earth gate? How could he know so much about the steps of the sacrifice? There is also a totem wooden card at the scene of the crime, and the murderer seems to have studied this very well.

In this way, it seems that there is indeed more than one murderer.

The clues left by the previous murderer are all related to going to the soil gate, and the murderer seems to have changed his modus operandi since Senzi, becoming sharper and more targeted, and the several cases that have turned before and after are very different, Zhang Tianyi has absolute reason to believe that the murderer is a gang.

Sacrifice, unfinished sacrifice, could it be that the murderer just wants to carry out the sacrifice to the end? So what does the sacrifice of walking through the earth gate represent? Why are you involved with Keren again?

Zhang Tianyi had a series of question marks in his heart, but he couldn't get answered......

An erosive and weird red light shone in from the window, Zhang Tianyi looked out and felt that the time was almost up, so he called Lin Fan.

Looking at the blood moon slowly hanging high outside the window, Zhang Tianyi remembered the scene of the first time he saw the blood moon, that is, the time he had a face-to-face with the white fox, and then he was involved in one confusing case after another.

Unbelievable?

Zhang Tianyi couldn't help but question himself in his heart.

If I had put it in the past, I would definitely laugh at the things about the strange power of ghosts and gods, but now I seem to be gradually numb, and I am no longer as firm as before. The unbelievable, the unbelievable, the unbelievable, and so on, at least for now, seem reasonable and unsurprising.

"......!"

There was a sharp sound of brakes outside the door, and Zhang Tianyi saw Lin Fan getting out of the car through the window.

Seeing Zhang Tianyi come out, Lin Fan hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Tianyi, it's all ready!" ”

Lin Fan said and opened the trunk, which contained a mountaineering rope, an iron pickaxe, a machete, gasoline, and even a bundle of explosives, all of which Da Kui had prepared before his death, and there was no doubt that he was very well prepared.

"It's almost time, call the leaves and we should act." Zhang Tianyi closed the trunk and said.

Lin Fan had already said hello to Ye Zi before, and Ye Zi was still testing the physical evidence of the last case in the laboratory, and quickly changed his clothes and came out after receiving the news.

This time Zhang Tianyi was ready to drive, but he was not sure if he could successfully find the entrance to the White Fox's Den, last time it was because of the trap of the White Fox that he found the real entrance to the White Fox's Den by mistake, this time he had to rely on his own groping, with the sporadic memories in his mind Zhang Tianyi drove slowly to the deep mountains.

The road is not smooth, there are layers of spruce trees on both sides around, there is only one road to drive into from the outside world, this road is still stepped on when the residents of the mountain go up the mountain to cut firewood, but now the times are developing rapidly, and few people are willing to go up the mountain in the past two years, so the road that used to be is now overgrown with weeds and thorns.

The further you drive in, the narrower the road becomes, and the thorns and bushes are higher, so everyone in the car obviously feels that they are going uphill, and the speed of the car is a little unravelable.

"I'll go down and find my way." Ye Zi said that he was about to get out of the car.

"Wait." Lin Fan grabbed the leaf, handed him a mask soaked in water and said, "It's almost there again, the white fox is too cunning, maybe it's staring at us somewhere now, put this on just in case." ”

Ye Zi didn't speak, took the mask handed over by Lin Fan, then got out of the car and took out a machete from the trunk to drive the road in front of the car.

The blood moon hung high, and the whole mountain was extremely quiet, there were no stars in the sky, no insects on the ground, only the sound of the engine echoing in the middle of the night.

"Boom... Rumble... Long ......"

As soon as Zhang Tianyi stepped on the accelerator, he didn't see an increase in speed.

Seeing this, Lin Fan asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Zhang Tianyi tried the test car again but there was still no movement, so he simply gave up and said: "The front is getting steeper and steeper, and there are more and more stones on the road, it seems that we are going to walk up on foot." ”

Lin Fan looked around after getting out of the car, and then said with some trepidation: "The front is almost there, don't meet the fox again......"

Zhang Tianyi closed the car door and said indifferently: "Don't worry, no matter how powerful that beast is, its claws can't reach here." ”

Compared with the fox fan, Zhang Tianyi was more worried about Lin Keren's safety. I was gambling at the beginning, gambling on people is the most critical part of the Tumen sacrifice, gambling on the Tumen sacrifice is held on the night of the blood moon, gambling on the sacrifice before the sacrifice is completed, but if Zhang Tianyi patted his chest and said that he would ensure that the Keren was safe and sound, he couldn't do it.

Next, Zhang Tianyi didn't talk nonsense, opened the trunk and put things into the backpack handed over by Lin Fan.

"How? Did you find anything? Seeing Ye Zi coming back from exploration, Lin Fan asked.

Ye Zi shook his head and said, "I didn't find anything suspicious, I came back when I saw that the road in front of me was getting narrower and narrower." ”

At this time, Zhang Tianyi also finished cleaning up, threw Lin Fan a backpack, and then turned off the lights and closed the car door. After feeling that his eyes were adjusting to the darkness, Zhang Tianyi turned on the flashlight, and then made a few gestures to ask Lin Fan Yezi not to make a sound and follow him.

Lin Fan and Ye Zi were nervous by Zhang Tianyi's actions, and the two followed Zhang Tianyi one after the other and quietly groped forward.

According to the description of the leaves, the road ahead will become narrower and narrower, in order to avoid accidents, Zhang Tianyi took a flashlight and swept around the surrounding bushes.

Time passed little by little with the footsteps of everyone, as Ye Zi said before, this road can only accommodate one person in the end, there are half-human high thorns on both sides, and some places can only be passed sideways, and they are silent around them.

"Wait!"

Zhang Tianyi, who was walking in the front, suddenly raised his hand and asked Lin Fan and Ye to stop.

Lin Fan blurted out, "What's wrong?" ”

"There is a situation." After Zhang Tianyi finished speaking, he took two steps forward, and there seemed to be something in the beam of the flashlight on the ground in front of him.

Ye Zi followed and muttered, "What ...... is that?" ”

Lin Fan wiped the lens and looked at it carefully and said, "It seems to be a camera......

"Camera?" Ye Zi was surprised, and then saw Zhang Tianyi stepping forward.

"This is the camera of the martial arts reporter! How could it be lost here? Lin Fan squatted down and said.

Zhang Tianyi fiddled with the camera, his face was calm, and he didn't know what he was thinking. The camera is full of photos taken by Wu Shengnan these days, but these photos are not flowers and plants or people photos, but pictures of the appearance of several mountains in Ping'an Town and Sanli Coffin Town.

"Boss! There's a hole here! ”

Leaves shouted from the side.

Zhang Tianyi put away the camera and walked with Lin Fan, only to find that the hole in the leaf's mouth was actually a gap in the thorn forest on the left.

Strange to say, this gap is not big or small, just enough for a person to walk with a hunched waist, Zhang Tianyi looked at the gap in front of him and was stunned.

Lin Fan went up and looked at the cutting surface of the thorn and said, "It doesn't look like it's caused by man, it seems to be ......."

"It's the white fox, it's a passage opened up by the white fox." After speaking, Zhang Tianyi took a look at the gap again, and there were still a few strands of white hair hanging on the thorns.

"So what now?" Lin Fan's meaning was obvious, and he asked Zhang Tianyi if he should go in.

Zhang Tianyi looked around and said, "There seems to be no other way now." After speaking, Zhang Tianyi took the lead and went in.

Although this passage is made of bushes such as thorns, it is impermeable inside. Zhang Tianyi didn't know how many layers of vegetation were wrapped outside, and he was covered in sweat after a little action inside, so he had to act cautiously, and if he didn't pay attention, he would be scratched a bloody mark on his body by the surrounding thorns.

But fortunately, it was cold and everyone wore thick clothes, and if it was summer, it was estimated that after going out of the passage, one by one would not be covered with bruises. I don't know how long I walked, until Zhang Tianyi stopped again, and the gust of wind outside blew everyone up with goosebumps......
