Chapter 15: Tang Juan's Diary

But among all the diaries, the one that caught Shiyuan's attention the most was the last one. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

July 1, judging from the date, was the day before Tang Juan's disappearance.

"July 1, 2016, fine. I had a dream last night that I was working alone in a pharmacy. There were no customers, so I went to the bathroom. When I came out, I suddenly felt a chill, and when I looked up, there was a strange man standing in front of me! And, strangely, I didn't seem to see all this with my own eyes, I was like a soul floating in the air, looking down on myself and the white weirdo below. That person, oh my God, that person's eyes are like two black holes, there are no whites of the eyes, and they are unusually large, and the mouth is always open, there are no teeth in the mouth, it is pitch black, it is so scary! I suddenly felt that this weirdo was the reason why I had been terrified for so many days! That's him! He's been lurking around me, thinking about killing me all the time! But is he human? No, he can't be human, absolutely not! But...... But what is he? I saw myself on the ground take a frightened step back at the sight of the strange man. I suddenly felt chills all over my body, as if there was not a person standing in front of me, but a piece of ice, which was emitting bursts of cold air, deep into the bone marrow, and then seeping out from the inside out. The cold breath was getting stronger and stronger, and I felt like my internal organs were about to freeze. I tried to speak, but I found that I couldn't say anything, and my tongue was completely frozen. I tried desperately to make a sound, but all that came out of my mouth was a cold mist visible to the naked eye. My eyes widened in horror and my eyeballs kept twitching from side to side, but in a matter of seconds, they were covered with a layer of ice! I, turned white, turned into an ice sculpture, my arms still stretched forward, but my body was completely frozen. Soon, my body collapsed and slammed into the floor, instantly exploding and shattering into a bloodshot block of ice! I watched it all from the air, I really felt it, I felt like I was going to collapse, I was watching myself die in front of my eyes, and I couldn't do anything! It was horrible, and I woke up immediately. I was restless all day. Tomorrow is the day when I am on duty with Xiao Li, and I hope nothing happens. No, it's terrible, the more I think about it, the more scared I feel, tomorrow I must have a good talk with Xiao Li, I will go home with her after work tomorrow, I can't stand it anymore! ”

At this point, the diary is all over.

After reading this diary, Shi Yuan did not speak. Although Tang Juan's last diary described her dream, Shi Yuan didn't think it was just a dream. The strange bloodstains he saw on the ground that day—smeared very lightly and very quickly, radial, fanned, and pale in color—were theoretically consistent with the bloodstains described in his diary as formed by the frozen fragments. Therefore, the dream in this diary may be the real cause of Tang Juan's death.

"Tang Juan was indeed ......" Until now, Shi Yuan was very reluctant to say that word.

"Killed by a ghost?" Royasen said.

"That's right. Moreover, Xiao Li once mentioned that Tang Juan is from Dark Crow Ridge Village, which means that her death was not accidental. In the village of Dark Crow Ridge, serious changes are taking place step by step, and the scope of influence of this change is absolutely huge. It seems that it is only affecting the villagers of Dark Crow Ridge Village at the moment, but who knows what will happen next? If the anomalous death phenomenon continues, I am afraid that the restrictions of Dark Crow Ridge Village will be broken, and Gravel Town and Haiyuan City may all be affected. ”

Royasen didn't speak.

"In addition to this last diary, there is actually another diary that I care about. The third item we were looking for was a paper version of the Gravel Town map, which was mentioned in Tang Juan's diary. With that, Shi Yuan opened a document.

Royasen leaned in and looked closely.

"June 23, 2016, fine. Even if I am resting ****, I don't want to, no, I don't dare to stay home alone. I ran out of the house early in the morning as if I was running for my life, and the continuous insomnia and dreams made me mentally exhausted, but what could I do? I thought about leaving the house, and I went to the inn for one night, but the fear did not diminish in the slightest, and I realized then that it was not the house itself that frightened me, but something else, so that it was useless for me to flee wherever I went, and that fear would surround me as long as I was alone. I have already talked to Xiao Li about sharing a house, but Xiao Li said that she needs to think about it again. Her answer made me feel hopeless, but I wouldn't give up and I'll talk to her again. In the middle of nowhere, I came to a restaurant and ordered something to eat, and there seemed to be an event going on lately, and the proprietress would give guests a map of Gravel Town. Where am I in the mood to pay attention to this now, but I have taken a picture in front of the restaurant. I looked at myself on the screen of my phone, and the smiling face looked so natural, but it was so strange. Is that me? Shouldn't I be so frightened that I turn pale right now? Pale? Yes, the pale face is like a dead man. No! What nonsense am I talking about! ”

"Look," Shi Yuan said, pointing to the words on the screen, "there's a map of Gravel Town, a restaurant. ”

After speaking, Shi Yuan flipped out another photo, continued to point to the screen and said, "This photo is the photo mentioned in the diary." I didn't notice anything unusual when I looked at it before, but now that it looks like it's the next item to look for. So, I deduced that this photo was exactly the 'certain photo' that was requested in the mission. ”

"Makes sense. However, in fact, there is no need to go so far as to find which photo it is, anyway, there are not many photos, we print out all the photos and take them with us, can't we guarantee that nothing is lost? ”

"Not necessarily. The item you're looking for is 'a certain photo', which doesn't mean it has to be one of Tang Juan's photos. And if you carry all the photos with you to complete the task, it would be too simplistic, in case the extra items will be counterproductive? So it's better to be clear about which photo it is...... Wait! ”

Shi Yuan was analyzing, but he was suddenly stunned. His eyes widened, staring with some horror somewhere on the screen. At this time, his fingers had already been lowered, and Luo Yasen couldn't see what he was looking at at all at once, but following Shi Yuan's gaze, he was also stunned.
