Chapter 1: The Mysterious Record
At midnight, the moon shone alone in the sky, and the faint mottled marks on the moon's surface looked like blood that had not been completely wiped clean. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info A figure sits on a bed with an old blue shirt on a chair next to it.
After sitting for a moment, he stood up and walked out of the bedroom. On the bed, his wife slept soundly, completely unaware of his movements.
He left the house and went into a small wooden shed at the back of the house in the darkness of the night. It was a simple warehouse with all kinds of farming tools and firewood, as well as a few jars of home-pickled pickles.
By the light of the flashlight, he rummaged through the pile of tools quickly, picking up this and putting that down, always seemingly dissatisfied.
Finally, with an axe firmly in his hand, he weighed it a few times and nodded. He took out a hemp bag from the old box next to him, quickly wrapped the axe, put it in a cloth bag, and then turned back to the bedroom.
"Gen Nian, why did you go?" The wife woke up for some reason, turned on the light, and looked sleepily at her husband, who had just returned from outside.
"Go to the toilet."
"Really?" The wife muttered indistinctly, and fell back to sleep as if she had never woken up at all.
Zhu Gennian looked at his wife and didn't speak again. I turned off the lights and got under the covers.
In the darkness, his eyes were wide open, and his heart was beating inexplicably.
Tomorrow, I must ......
He thought, not sleepy. Until dawn, he did not close his eyes.
Early the next morning, Shi Yuan and the others got up. Last night's experience made several people feel uneasy, especially after coming out of the library, they walked back to Luo Yasen's house without saying a word as if they had lost their souls, although they did not find the hole in the ground and the monster crawling out of Chen Weijie's dream. After a few hours of sleeping adjustment, they finally felt a little recovered, coupled with the soft warmth of the morning sun, they felt that the panic in their hearts had eased, and then they gathered again in the hall on the first floor to discuss the next action.
"Let's analyze the contents of the paper first," Shi Yuan said, spreading a piece of paper on the coffee table, "Do you remember what the words on the paper that Village Chief An said found on Zhou Facai's body were?" ”
"Well, remember, it's the words 'I'm guilty, I'm afraid.'" Liu Tong said.
"Yes. So, what about the contents on the back of the paper? ”
"Not mentioned."
Why didn't he mention it? There are several possibilities: first, there is no word on the back; second, there are words on the back, but there are too many words, and it is inconvenient to explain to the villagers loudly; Third, the words on the back imply some secrets, and Village Chief An doesn't want everyone to know. If it's the last one, do you think he'll still have that piece of paper in the reference room? ”
"Probably not. What needs to be kept secret, naturally the fewer people who know it, the better, and it is better that only he knows. Liu Tong said.
"That's right. So, it's normal that we didn't find the paper in the reference room and the library. Perhaps, that piece of paper was always on An Fuqiang's body, or he put it in his own home, and it was not taken away by that ...... 'thing' as we thought last night. ”
"It's possible. However, this inference is based on the third case you just mentioned, what if this is not the case? Liu Tong said again.
"Whether it was carried by Village Chief An or taken away by that 'thing', I think we will see that piece of paper again after all. Today, we will find a way to get close to Village Chief An and get his words out, anyway, we have to contact him today anyway. Okay, let's take a look at this piece of paper. Although we didn't find the paper found on Zhou Facai's body last night, we found something very important...... "Shi Yuan said this, paused, ""Memorabilia of Dark Crow Ridge Village", which records some major events in the village, including the collective disappearance of all the people in the mountain tourist area twenty years ago, and the recent mysterious death, the list of relevant personnel can be said to be not bad. Of course, it is not surprising that there are records of so many murders in the village, but strange things, a small village without forensic doctors, how did they judge the time of death of those people so accurately? ”
After Shi Yuan said this, Luo Yasen and the other three frowned.
"Also, in the column of the cause of death, there is actually content. Of course, it is not the reason of 'being killed by a ghost', but a purely physical cause of death, such as Hu Kemei's 'broken waist' here, and Yang Shumin's ......'continuous blow to the head with a blunt object'...... How could they, possibly know this? Yang Shumin has clearly been ......"
That picture appeared in front of Shi Yuan's eyes again, and the bloody and terrifying room was not far from them.
After being silent for a few seconds, Shi Yuan continued: "Also, there are records of people from other places in this book, except for Luo Yasen, the names of three people, including me, are all reflected here. Not only the name, but also the specific arrival time and approximate age identity are also indicated. Who is doing this work? ”
After Shi Yuan finished speaking, he glanced at the faces of the other three, and what he saw were three faces mixed with a little fear in confusion.
Everyone, as long as they have any connection to the village, will be recorded, even those who come at night.
Who is watching them from the shadows?
"What the hell is going on? When I arrived, it was almost dark, and the three of us walked from the entrance of the village to the lake on the mountain, and we didn't see anyone at all. And, even if we are seen, how do they know our names and identities? Liu Tong said with some confusion. A feeling of being stared at returned, the same as when she dived under Ant Lake. She suddenly felt chills all over her body and subconsciously held her arm.
"I think it's hard for us to find an answer to this question for a while. Rather than that, focus on the task at hand. As he spoke, Shi Yuan took out his mobile phone, "The text messages we received before haven't been analyzed together until now, so let's analyze them now." The text message reads: 'Warning the village chief to stay away from abandoned buildings on the hill. Before the next zero hour comes, if he dies, look for clues under his corpse; If he makes it home, he must stay at his door until dawn. This task, in fact, cannot be regarded as a task, at most it can be regarded as a link in the task, and its role is to provide clues for the real task later. ”
"It's like someone is teasing us." Chen Weijie said with a gloomy face. (To be continued.) )
