Although I was idle, in the eyes of many people, I was actually a person with a job, and to be precise, my work was also very busy, so I didn't participate in Qiao Wei's travels.

But a week later, a phone call came into my mobile phone, but I had to leave for Hubei, and the person who called was not Qiao Wei or Wang Yongzhi, but a person I never expected - Zhu Yue.

Zhu Yue told me on the phone that she was in big trouble.

After the strange fish incident in Heitong Village, Zhu Yue returned to Hangzhou for only a week. After writing the manuscript and handing it over to the editor-in-chief, she immediately set off for another place where strange rumors were piled up - Shennongjia.

The specific place where Zhu Yue went was a hot spring resort called Huilong Bay in Shennongjia Scenic Area, and there was a small village called Lagu not far from Huilong Bay Resort, and there was a strange legend in that village, and Zhu Yue went to that legend.

According to unreliable rumors in the village, there are countless caves deep in the mountains around the village, and in the caves live a mysterious group of hermits, known to the villagers as skinners. Whenever a blood moon rises over Shennongjia, these skinners will come out of their holes to hunt, sometimes even sneaking into villagers' homes or hotels to attack residents and tourists. Therefore, every time there is a blood moon, the people in the village will hang the skinned pigs and raw sheep outside for the skinners to take away, so as to ensure the safety of their own lives.

In order to verify the authenticity of this legend, Zhu Yue set off for Shennongjia in early July. Because the place where Zhu Yue settled was a hot spring resort, it was definitely a long trip, so Zhu Yue simply brought her two good friends, a pair of twin sisters, Hua Xia Bing and Xia Xue, to play together, which can be regarded as a good time for leisure and work.

But less than a week after the three of them arrived at the resort, the two sisters Xia Bing and Xia Xue, who were traveling with Zhu Yue, disappeared for no reason!

For nearly half a month, the police have been looking for the sisters, and Zuihou only found their clothes and room cards in the mountains, but these two people could not be found, and they were completely in a state of no one alive or dead.

The police characterized the case as a robbery, while local villagers claimed that the two sisters were taken and eaten by skinners.

Although Zhu Yue came to investigate the truth of the skinner, he himself did not believe that there was really such a hidden clan here. But a few days later, a blood moon really appeared in the night sky of Shennongjia, and skinned pigs and raw sheep were also hung outside the mountain village that night. The next morning, the pigs and sheep were gone, and a pile of huge barefoot footprints were left on the ground outside the village.

It was in this situation that Zhu Yue thought of asking me for help.

I asked Zhu Yue for her current address, and then I contacted Qiao Wei and asked Qiao Wei to go to Zhu Yue first to help see what the situation was, and I immediately went to Shu Xin to ask for leave.

As soon as Shu Xin heard that I was going to Shennongjia, he immediately went on strike and wanted to go with me. Because the enrollment and propaganda she is responsible for are almost done, there are only some online question answering work left, and these jobs can be completed anywhere as long as there is a network, so I had to take her to Shennongjia and meet Wang Yongzhi by the way.

On the afternoon of the third day after receiving Zhu Yue's call, Shu Xin and I went to Shennongjia Scenic Area, and then took a two-hour bus ride to Huilongwan Hot Spring Resort, where Zhu Yue lived.

If you count the resort in Heitong Village, this should be my brother's second time in the resort. Compared with Heitong Village, the architectural style of Huilong Bay has a feeling of an ancient temple in Xianshan, and you have to pass through a tall stone archway to enter the door, then bypass the huge viewing pool in the center of the resort, and then pass through a retro cloister, which is the antique No. 3 Hotel Building.

When we entered the lobby of the hotel building, Zhu Yue, Qiao Wei and Wang Yongzhi finally showed up and greeted the two of us.

Wang Yongzhi and I haven't seen each other since graduation, and this time my old classmate Zaijian had to hug first.

Wang Yongzhi has hardly changed much from his college days, except that his belly is slightly bigger, his calves are a little thicker, and he still has his favorite white T-shirt, big shorts and flip-flops. After greeting me and Shu Xin, Wang Yongzhi asked me with a smile: "You two are not married yet?" When are you going to do it? ”

I don't know if people like to ask some of the same questions when they reach a certain age, such as when you are about to graduate from high school, everyone will meet and ask you where you are going to take the exam; When you are about to graduate from college, everyone asks you whether you are going to graduate school or looking for a job; After the work, everyone began to ask what the salary was; When I was almost thirty, I changed my question to ask if I was married, when I would get married; When he is in his thirties, he asks whether the child is male or female; After that, it's time for the child to go to school, which school to go to, which university to go to, and whether to graduate school or find a job...... The cycle goes on forever.

I'm a layman, so naturally I can't avoid falling into this cliché, so I immediately replied with a smile: "Soon, I guess it's October this year, if I can book a hotel smoothly, anyway, it won't be more than December at the latest." ”

"Okay, call me then, I'll be there." Wang Yongzhi patted me on the shoulder and said.

is different from when he just graduated, now Wang Yongzhi is also a person with status, he said that he will definitely arrive, so I thanked him, and told him that when I got married, I did not accept red envelopes, only real gifts, and the standard must not be less than 1,000 yuan. Wang Yongzhi agreed with a smile.

After introducing Zhu Yue and Shu Xin to each other, Shu Xin and I quickly checked in.

According to Qiao Wei's instructions, we chose the guest room on the first floor, and when we got to the room, Qiao Wei told me the reason for this choice.

After receiving my call three days ago, Qiao Wei and Wang Yongzhi immediately rushed to Huilongwan Resort and met Zhu Yue. Zhu Yue's room was on the fourth floor, and the two missing sisters lived next door to her. Qiao Wei went directly to the room of the two sisters, and at a glance Qiao Wei could see that there was something wrong in this room.

To be precise, it's not that there is a problem with the two sisters' rooms, the entire fourth floor, including the corridor, has a thick yin qi lingering, and it feels like this is a standard murderous building. But the strange thing is that from the third floor down the small building has become yin and yang balanced, and there is no clasp to suppress ghosts and exorcise evil spirits.

So Qiao Wei asked Zhu Yue to change to the room on the first floor first, and then he and Zhu Yue went to the fourth floor together that night, and used the Soul Summoning Decision in the room where the two sisters disappeared.

The truth is really the same as Qiao Wei's judgment, there is really something strange in this building. When the Soul Summoning Decision took effect, there were five more people in the small room at once, these five people were covered in blood, and there was not an inch of skin on their bodies, and the bare muscles could make people clearly see the texture.

They screamed and wailed in pain, and their figures flickered like television images with bad signals.

Such a scene also reminded Qiao Wei and Zhu Yue of the same legend - Skinner.
