Who? I exclaimed, and pounced on the old man with my machete. There are several meters of woods between us, and I have to make a way to cross this woods with a knife to cross.

Just as I was cutting off a few branches in front of me, I noticed that the old man who was smiling at me had turned away.

He seemed to be on a cane, limping when he walked. I could only watch him disappear into the fog, but there was nothing I could do.

But I distinctly remember that moment before he disappeared and turned his head and smiled at me.

Of course, I don't believe that he is a ghost, especially since our people in the investigation team of unsolved cases have seen countless strange cases, and it turns out that many cases are pretended to be ghosts.

If you don't look at it, the old man should be lame, very old. I was sure he wouldn't be able to walk very fast, so when I came to my senses, I quickly swung my knife and slashed at the branches of the trees that stood in my way.

I'm going to catch him and ask him why he's pretending to be a ghost here. Even if he doesn't have any problems, I can ask him about Lotus Village, and I can also ask him about the whereabouts of Ge Lao and Zhao Xiaotian.

Stop, don't move, I'm a cop I shouted as I chopped down a branch.

When I got to where the old man was standing, I saw a pair of white bones on the ground.

At that moment, I even had the illusion that all I had just seen was this skeleton.

Paralyzed, is there really a white bone spirit? I suddenly remembered the white bone spirits in Journey to the West.

Of course, that was just a comic thought in my thoughts, and I soon came back to my senses and began to scout the clues around the skeleton.

But seeing this white bone sitting against a pine tree, the skeleton is still intact, and there is also a yellow rune paper on his forehead.

Upon closer inspection of the radius of a few meters around the skeleton, I finally smiled. This was the only one we found after entering the mountain, and it was clear that there were other people in this lotus village besides us.

I saw just now that it was indeed a lame old man, as could be seen from the footprints left in the surrounding dirt, one deep and one shallow.

When a lame man walks, the center of gravity of his body is above the good leg, and only a lame man will leave a deep and shallow footprint. And the two footprints were always surrounded by a small hole the size of a thumb, and this small hole was obviously left by the old man's crutch.

Uncle, I'm a policeman, I have something very important I want to ask you for help, you wait for me I looked around and shouted.

The woods were still silent, and there was no echo at all.

Just as I was about to choose a way to continue tracking down the lame old man, I was suddenly stunned. Because I found that the surrounding woods were very dense, but I could not find a trace of someone who had just passed guò.

And the footprints left by the old man were only within three or four meters of the white bone, and it felt as if the lame old man had circled around the white bone. After a range of three or four meters, I didn't find a single footprint.

The old man seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Xiaolin, are you here, do you want us to spend the night here tonight? At this moment, Zhang Yihan's roar came from the walkie-talkie again.

Senior sister, I'm here, I'm already on my way. I quickly took out the walkie-talkie and replied, then turned around and went back to the same road and headed down the mountain.

Look at the time, it is almost five o'clock at this time, and it is definitely impossible to rush back before dark, but I can't leave Zhang Yihan and them alone.

By the time I got to the bottom, it was already seven o'clock in the evening, and because the fog was getting thicker and thicker as I went down, it was very difficult to walk, so the speed of going down was about the same as the time it took to go up.

By the time I got to the bottom, I was dumbfounded.

There was a terrible advection fog at the bottom of the valley, and as I stood on the stone path, I could only see a thick layer of fog rolling around my body, as if there were many demons dancing around me.

If I saw this scene when the sun was shining, I would definitely feel that it was a fairyland on earth, but at that moment, my heart was pounding. I always felt as if there was something hidden in the fog.

Luckily we were well prepared and had flashlights on us, otherwise I would have been trapped here.

Fortunately, there is a stone road in Lianhua Village, otherwise even if I had a flashlight, it would be difficult to find the wooden house where Zhang Yihan and the others were located in this situation where there was a lot of fog all around.

I groped my way along the stone path, and the fog was so thick that even my flashlight could not penetrate it. At this time, the visibility in front of me was less than 30 centimeters, and I had to squat and hold a flashlight to walk slowly on the stone path.

I had to be careful, for I remember very well that beyond the stone road was a large swamp with no end in sight, and I didn't have to think about what would happen if I fell into it. It's been uninhabited for so many years, and who knows how deep the swamp really is?

Just as I was crouching on the ground and groping my way forward, I suddenly heard a crisp tuk tuk behind me, and it felt as if a woman in high heels was walking towards me.

The temperature had dropped relatively quickly at this time, and with so much fog around me, I was all wet, and when I heard that sound, my back was cold.

However, although I was already a little scared in my heart, I still didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world. So I crouched on the ground and listened, and when I listened closely, I noticed that there was something that didn't sound like high heels.

As soon as I thought of this, I suddenly remembered the crutches of the lame old man I had seen in the woods earlier

That's right, heels don't walk as often and intervals won't be as long. It must have been the sound of crutches poking on the stone pavement.

Tu, tuk, tuk, the voice felt closer and closer, and soon, the voice came to me and stopped. However, when I heard the voice, it was clear that he was coming to me, but I saw nothing.

It felt as if he was invisible, and my forehead suddenly began to sweat.

When the sound of the cane stopped, the surroundings suddenly became strangely quiet. It was so quiet that I could hear my own breathing, and I didn't know if I was too nervous or what was going on, and at that moment I even heard my own heartbeat thumping.

Uncle, is that you? I had the courage to ask.

There was certainly no response as a result.

In order to find out the truth, I decided to take a few steps ahead to see if the old man was playing tricks to scare me again.

However, after I fumbled a few steps, the voice of the tuk tuk suddenly came from behind me.

I turned around and saw a thick fog rolling behind me. But the tuk tuk voice had faded away.

I couldn't be calm anymore, the stone path was not very wide, with dense woods on the left and swamps with no end in sight on the right. If it was the lame old man who had just walked past me, I couldn't figure out how he had passed.

The more I thought about it, the more panicked I became, and I didn't dare to delay any longer, so I quickly squatted on the ground again and walked towards the front by touching the stone path.

Fortunately, after a while, I saw a small stone path branching out on the stone road. I think it was the fork in the road that led to the wooden house in the woods.

I knew that Zhang Yihan and Zhao Mingzhu were waiting for me there, and my heart instantly became much more stable. However, just as I was touching the small stone path, I suddenly remembered why the words I had written before were missing.

I involuntarily looked back and looked again, and it didn't matter, I was so scared that my eyes almost fell to the ground.

I saw that the words I had written on a bluestone tablet with a white stone were not gone, but turned bright red. I could see that the handwriting was definitely mine, but at the moment, there seemed to be drops of blood oozing from every stroke, which was shocking.

I swallowed dryly, and quickly turned around and followed the small stone path that led to the woods. It's rare for me to think about those words anymore, I just want to see Zhang Yihan and Zhao Mingzhu as soon as possible.

Since I don't have to worry about falling into the swamp now, I climbed that part of the road very quickly.

Senior sister, senior sister, as soon as I climbed up to the overgrown patio, I began to shout loudly Zhang Yihan. I had the impression that the patio was quite spacious, even though there were a lot of weeds, so I screamed and threw myself through the grass to the wooden house.

As I walked, I tripped over something under my feet and suddenly fell into the mud.

I got up and turned around to take a flashlight, and found that it seemed to be a person lying in the grass, and it was obvious that he had just tripped and fallen.

She was dressed in black, and because of the fog, I couldn't see the whole picture. At that moment, I was not afraid, and I involuntarily took a flashlight and slowly shone it on her face.

As my flashlight slowly moved to her face, I finally saw her face clearly.

Lying in the grass was a wrinkled, white-haired old lady with her eyes protruding from her sockets and her tongue hanging down to the outside of her chin

When I suddenly saw such a scene, I was frightened and dumb on the spot.

When I came to my senses, I fell backwards to the ground, and with a scream, I sat on the ground and fell backwards. At that time, my legs were so weak that I couldn't stand up at all.

However, I had not taken a few steps back when I suddenly felt a tap on my shoulder.
