Chapter 248: Preparations on the Eve
Li Muyu didn't expect this matter to be so complicated, not to mention the registration, he even came up with a candidate system.
Li Xuefei said that after a wait-and-see look, the people in the circle finally couldn't resist the temptation of the bonus, and many people signed up, but the ancient mansion is such a big place, if dozens of people pour in at once, what is the meaning of horror? So there is such a screening. Qin Yao replied to Li Muyu.
"But if that's the case, isn't this screening too simple, hiking through the deep mountains and old forests, which may be a little difficult for ordinary people, but for those who focus on travel and adventure, it's a test?" Li Muyu couldn't help but ask a little strangely.
"I'm not done yet." Saying that, Qin Yao gave Li Muyu a roll of his eyes.
Li Muyu pursed his lips and listened honestly to Qin Yao's next story: "The time starts in three days and ends in ten days. All participants were required to pick up a number at a fixed location in the city in the early morning, and then stand in the house with the number before dawn the next morning. Naturally, there are people in the old house. ”
After Qin Yao finished speaking, Li Muyu frowned, received the number early in the morning, and then rushed to the ancient mansion early the next morning, counting the drive, then the time to enter the deep mountains outside the ancient mansion should be just late at night, and trekking through such a deep mountain and old forest in the middle of the night, this is indeed a test of ability and courage.
And more importantly, the old forest has always been rumored to have something unclean. Entering the old forest in the middle of the night, I thought of many indescribable hardships and horrors.
"What if something happens?" Li Muyu couldn't help but ask. Indeed, at night in the deep mountains and old forests, not to mention whether you will encounter any deep mountain beasts, just a wrong step and fall off the cliff is very likely to happen, what if there is a personal safety accident here?
"This is the rule of the circle of travelers, because there is no specific organization, so all activities are voluntary, as for participating in such activities, what harm is taken is the same is their own responsibility, although the law is a little unreasonable, but in that circle, this is a conventional rule.
Didn't an accident happen in the circle of travelers a few years ago? It is said that the folk travelers organized an expedition, and the camping place was selected in a riverbed, and it rained heavily at night, and there was a flash flood in the riverbed instantly, and the search and rescue team searched and rescued for two days, and found five bodies, and only two people were alive. But afterwards, those who had an accident did not choose to sue the organizers, this is the rule in this circle, if you are afraid of danger, then do not participate. Qin Yao explained.
Li Muyu smacked his lips, and couldn't help but feel that things were indeed a little tricky in this way. Safety conceit, this rule is a hotbed of conspiracy for Li Muyu to think that there will be premeditated activities.
Li Muyu couldn't help but look a little irritable, and even wanted to organize this event through the police, but as soon as the idea came out, Li Muyu shook his head and dispelled this idea. It's not because Li Muyu thinks that this will not know what Lao Chang means, but because Li Muyu knows that such activities can't be banned at all.
Even if the police have now arrested people and temporarily blocked the event, there is simply no way to prohibit it for those who are willing to take risks, and they will only choose a more secretive way to hold such an event. If the police were to arrange the police force, it would be even more unreliable in that ancient house deep in the mountains. The police can stay there for a day, but after a long time, can they still have people stationed there?
Li Muyu shook his head, feeling helpless in his heart, but there was nothing he could do, but this feeling of powerlessness made Li Muyu a little accustomed to it, after all, every time he faced those terrifying ghosts and ghosts, Li Muyu felt similar.
After listening to Qin Yao's story, Hu Ze said, "No, I'll go, it's a little dangerous." ”
Qin Yao looked at Hu Ze and shook his head and said, "You stay, it can be regarded as a strategy." If you go, you might as well have someone ban the event. I can't see anything anyway. ”
Hu Ze nodded. Li Muyu speculated in his heart about what might happen, and his heart became more and more worried.
……
After three days of rest, Li Muyu never dreamed of any strange nightmares in the past two days, but even so, Li Muyu did not rest steadily, after all, he had this incident in his heart, and his faint worries have been bothering Li Muyu.
In the past three days, Li Muyu has also been searching for information about the ancient mansion in the deep mountains, but in addition to the mysterious ghost stories, there is only some information about the ancient mansion family. These are not much different from what Li Muyu and others initially found.
However, one of the things confirmed Li Muyu's dream.
Back then, those Red Guards besieged the ancient house, and then none of these Red Guards came out, and this matter was also very serious at that time, and the government would not let it go.
It was only when the government troops entered the area that they found that the missing people were naturally dead, but their bodies were not in the old house, but hanging on the trees in the mountains and forests outside the old house. The corpses hung in the dense woods, and after a long time, they emitted a foul smell. Such a scene is indescribably terrifying and weird.
The government was furious and thought of setting fire to the old house, but due to some unknown pressure and some people's fear of the event, the old house was finally preserved. In the end, I had no choice but to take away the corpses from these trees, and the matter was over.
But the woods where the dead hung were after that there were many strange legends that could not be explained.
Many theories say that the woods were a place of detention, and that the bodies of the dead were taken away, but the souls were left in the woods.
So the appearance of the woods over there has become unusually strange and decayed, and most of the people who set foot there have died in that woods. Some of the legends are similar to the suicide forest in Japan.
But regardless of these, in some later stories, Li Muyu found that as long as it was about the dead there, the corpses were hanging in the woods outside the ancient mansion, and although the ancient mansion was the source of all these terrible things, there seemed to be a habit of cleanliness there, and there was no corpse left in it. Naturally, except for the dozens of people who committed suicide in the first place.
Thinking of this official trick, Li Muyu had doubts about the ancient mansion, is there anyone else in the ancient mansion? This matter does not seem to give a clear answer in all the legends.
