The third time, the ghost town of Fengdu

Seeing Mu Zihan's confident appearance. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoI thought it was going to be a long trip anyway, so I started to plan in my head what clothes and daily necessities to bring. It's not that I'm confident in Mu Zihan, but when I saw his smug expression, I knew that he had solved the trick of hiding the sender's address.

Sure enough, I didn't need to ask, I heard him then say, "Siyuan, I remember that there are candles in the drawer at the bottom of our bookcase." ”

"Well, yes, but I don't know when it's leftover, what, are you going to use candles?" Although I don't know why he suddenly asked about candles, I can vaguely guess that they may be needed to find out the location of the "Other Side Villa", so I started rummaging through them without him saying more.

However, these candles, which have been bent and twisted, are really very old, and I don't know how long they have been lying in the corners of the drawers, and they are already covered with dust. I remember the last time I cleaned up my bookcases, I wanted to throw them away.

"Can you use that?" I took out a relatively decent one, held it up and asked.

"If you can light it, you can take it and watch me play tricks for you." As he spoke, Mu Zihan shook the envelope with a smile.

Since he said so, it was obvious that what he wanted to use was not the candle itself, but a relatively stable fire, so he lit the candle with the lighter handed by Mu Zihan and put it beside him.

After that, Wang Xinyan and I saw Mu Zihan carefully holding the envelope and spreading it on the flame of the candle, slowly and evenly heating the envelope. As time passed, I only saw a few faint handwriting gradually emerging on the originally white envelope.

After a few minutes, the handwriting was finally clear enough to make out the contents, and four large characters, apparently written with a brush, appeared on the envelope with iron and silver hooks, "Fengdu Ghost Town"!

"What's going on?" I saw Mu Zihan blowing out the candle and looking at the four words on the envelope with a thoughtful expression, so I asked suspiciously.

"It's nothing, I didn't say it before, it's just a little trick." Mu Zihan replied without raising his head: "Actually, the sender dipped his brush in milk before and wrote these four words on the envelope. When the milk dries, there will be no handwriting on the white envelope. However, due to the protein contained in milk, it will denature, coagulate, and develop color after proper heating and baking. When I got the letter, I smelled a little milk, but then the smell was masked by the pungent smell of perfume on the invitation, so you didn't notice it. ”

"I'm not asking about this, I'm asking what's going on with the 'Fengdu Ghost Town'?" This kind of little trick, in fact, after seeing it, I also figured it out, so it's not surprising. I also know several ways to write invisible characters such as writing with starch and making words appear with iodine, and I even played some pranks when I was a child. Therefore, what I am most curious about now is that the four words "Fengdu Ghost Town" written on this envelope, is this "Manor on the Other Side" really in the underworld? I can't help but feel a chill in my back when I think about it.

"That's right, Zihan, what the hell is this place, it looks quite infiltrating. I see you don't go, it could be someone's prank. "Wang Xinyan is a girl after all, when it comes to these gods, even if she usually behaves fiercely, she still shows a timid look, and even I feel that she is a little incoherent.

"Miss, who would take a check for 100,000 yuan to prank? If it's a prank, I'd like it to come back a few more times. Mu Zihan glanced at Wang Xinyan speechlessly, and then changed his words: "However, I really didn't expect it to be in this place." Hmph, 'Fengdu Ghost Town', this thing is getting more and more interesting. ”

"Do you really know where the hell this place is?" I asked in a little surprise, thinking to myself, since Mu Zihan knows so much about "ghosts", maybe he really knows the location of this legendary "Netherworld Mansion".

"What the hell, this is a good place. Both of you, both of you, have been carried away by your own subjective consciousness, you know, this place, I don't know how many people go there every day in the whole country for sightseeing. Seeing the look of surprise and fear on my and Wang Xinyan's faces, Mu Zihan shook his head and said helplessly.

After that, he told us that the original "Fengdu Ghost Town" is located on the southeast edge of the SC Basin, in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and is the first batch of AAAA-level tourist areas in the country. It has a history of more than 2,000 years, and in ancient times it was called "Bazi Betsu", and some people called it "Hidden Capital" and "Oni Country Kyoto". Legend has it that it is the place where the soul of a person rests after death, which is the "underworld of the underworld" in the popular sense, but listening to Mu Zihan's tone, these are just nonsense.

"It turned out to be a scenic spot, and the sender of this letter is really, so weird, I thought it was really a netherworld. Zihan, if you go, I will go too. After hearing that the "Fengdu Ghost Town" turned out to be just a tourist scenic spot, Little Pepper Wang Xinyan instantly regained her fierce nature and actually offered to accompany her.

"That's a pity, people don't seem to invite you." Mu Zihan didn't seem to want her to go along, and after opening the invitation letter intentionally, he pointed to me and his name and said, "People only invited me and Siyuan." ”

"So what? Can I go at my own expense? Since it's a tourist spot, can you care if I go or not? Obviously, Mu Zihan's words had the opposite effect, this girl actually got into a lot of energy, I can see that if this continues, this girl may really run away by herself.

"Then you can do whatever you want, as long as you don't follow us, where do you like to go?" Saying that, Mu Zihan turned around directly and looked out the window, obviously not wanting to deal with Wang Xinyan anymore. This makes me very strange, with Mu Zihan's previous performance conventions, if Wang Xinyan is mad, he will be soft, why is he so surprisingly tough today?

"Okay, Mu Zihan, that's what you said. Hum! After saying that, the grumpy girl directly picked up her handbag and left the office angrily.

"Detective Muta, which one are you playing? Isn't it just to go to a tourist spot to participate in a celebration together, and it's okay to bring her with you. Seeing Wang Xinyan leaving in a huff, I asked a little incomprehensibly.

"Siyuan, this matter is not so simple, you carefully look at the lower right corner of the back of the invitation." Hearing my words, Mu Zihan turned around with a deep face and handed me the black invitation that he had been holding in his hand.

I saw that he was serious, and realized that things might not be as simple as I thought, so after taking the invitation, I turned to the back and looked at it as he said.

At this time, I saw a golden butterfly the size of a thumb nail, vividly imprinted there, and I couldn't help but be surprised: butterfly? Could it be that all this is actually the arrangement of the "butterfly mark"?

Now, I finally understand why Mu Zihan had to get rid of Wang Xinyan, because the place where we went to participate in the Midyear Festival celebration this time may not be the real "Netherworld Mansion", but its danger level is definitely more than that.
