12. Nest (below)

The door panel was still ringing, the bed board blocking the window was also slammed and trembled, and the roaring and shouting outside the window never stopped. Fortunately, there were only two entrances to this small room, and Tang Hui and the others had already firmly sealed these two entrances, and the white ghosts outside couldn't get in no matter how hard they tried.

Gradually, the frequency of the impact on the door and bed began to decrease, and the force became much smaller, and even the continuous shouting began to become smaller or even disappear.

None of the five people in the room knew exactly how long it had been, but the impact had stopped, and silence had returned to the outside of the house.

"They seem to be gone."

"It could also be a trap."

"They're not that smart, are they?"

"If they had been human, they might have been that smart."

The three officers whispered to each other.

The bed in the window could be moved, and the two officers in charge of blocking the window moved the bed slightly to the side so that a gap could be seen.

Suddenly, his hand slammed in through the crack, and then he pulled the bed to the side with all his might, and the shouting and banging on the door that had stopped began again!

"Hold on! Keep the door closed! ”

"Shoot him in the hand! Shoot!!! ”

The room was in turmoil again.

Tang Hui and a police officer had to hold on to the door panel, so they couldn't pull away at all. There were also two people on the other side of the window who were in charge of holding the bed, but now the bed had been moved a little away, and several hands came in through the cracks, not only pushing the bed to the side, but also reaching in and scratching it.

Although the shot could knock the hand back that had come in, it was soon followed by another hand that came in, and soon the two policemen in the window ran out of bullets.

"Zhu Yue, go and help, use your electric baton!" Tang Hui, who was facing the door panel, shouted loudly.

There was no need for Tang Hui to give any instructions, when the white ghost put his hand into the gap between the bed board and the window frame, Zhu Yue already had the intention of stepping forward to help, but she needed to cheer herself up in her heart to make herself more courageous to face those weirdos with teeth and claws.

Tang Hui's shout also gave Zhu Yue the courage he needed most now.

At the same time that Tang Hui had just called out Zhu Yue's name, Zhu Yue also ran out of the corner, and then used the electric baton in his hand to suddenly electrify the hand in the gap between the bed boards.

With a series of screams, the hands finally retracted from the gap, and the two police officers also took the opportunity to forcefully buckle the bed board back to its original position, firmly sealing the window. Then, no matter how the white ghosts and monsters outside collided, no matter whether it was moving or quiet outside, the few people in the room did not plan to risk any more temptations, and they firmly held the doors and windows in the room and waited for rescue.

The five of them stayed in the wing room for almost two hours, and finally there was a sound of footsteps in the courtyard, and at the same time, there was a ** shout: "Gao'er! Two thunders! What about you?!! ”

"Here's it!" The police officer guarding the door also responded loudly, and then took a step back with Tang Hui to open the door.

There was no sign of the long-haired white ghost outside the door, and more than a dozen police officers stood in the courtyard and looked around vigilantly. A man in civilian clothes who led the team walked up to the door and asked, "What the hell is going on?" I saw the corpses in the front hall, and there was blood all over the backyard! ”

"We know where the missing people have gone!" The police officer surnamed Gao walked up to the leader of the team and briefly told him what had just happened in this ancient mansion.

The police officer who led the team nodded after hearing this, and then immediately assigned his men to prepare to track the bloodstains to find the lair of the group of weirdos. Tang Hui and Zhu Yue are not members of the action team, but the two of them have been investigating this strange case from beginning to end, and it is absolutely impossible for them to leave when the mystery is about to be revealed, so they also follow the police of the brigade to act.

The blood trailed all the way to the outer wall of the backyard and then continued deeper into the foggy woods, followed by the police officers of the task force for about ten minutes in the woods, and the blood stains disappeared under a thick dead tree.

The group searched the neighborhood again, and soon they found an underground cave entrance covered with mud and earth and rocks. The entrance to the cave was so narrow that it looked like a hole in the earth dug by a giant rat, which could only be used by a single person.

It's one thing to hunt down criminals, it's another thing to go deep into a group of monsters that bite and eat meat, not to mention the fact that the police officers of the squad don't have enough lighting on them, and their weapons are just pistols, so getting into a hole in this situation is tantamount to suicide.

Therefore, the task force only stood at the entrance of the cave, and then contacted the headquarters, asking for further manpower to come over, and bring professional digging tools to ensure the safety of the cave exploration personnel.

In the afternoon, several mountain bikes drove into the woods, carrying enough digging tools, and armed police units in riot uniforms joined the operation.

The subsequent excavation work went very smoothly, and although some long-haired white ghosts appeared on the way to obstruct the progress of the excavation, most of them were killed by the armed police, and a few were captured alive.

After nearly two hours of work, Zuihou uncovered a series of underground caverns comparable to underground palaces under the woods, which were intricately distributed, and each of them had its own function, some for storing food, some for stacking hay, and some for storing excrement and bones.

The armed police who operated with the excavation team found a number of dried corpses in the cave where the food was stored, all of which were damaged to varying degrees, most of the stomachs were hollowed out, and the flesh on the arms and legs was almost eaten.

One of the dried corpses was fresh and wearing socks, and it was clear that the body had just been placed in the cave, but the head had been gnawed to the point of being white, and further DNA testing was needed to determine the body's identity.

These discoveries are only a small part, according to the information given by the underground excavation team, in addition to these artificially excavated earth caves, there are some natural stone caves underground, and it is still unclear where these stone caves lead, and it is impossible to judge whether there are other long-haired white ghosts in the stone caves.

By 7 p.m., the armed police had set up a huge cordon around the woods and erected warning signs to prevent anyone from entering. This silent forest in the mountain behind Puyuan Village has completely become a forbidden area, and the ancient houses in the forest are even more dangerous.

Zhu Yue didn't know how long the follow-up investigation would take, but she finally figured out how quiet Weishenme was in this wood, and she also knew where the birds or other animals that were supposed to live in the woods went, and she also understood that the Weishenme police had searched for so long but could not find this group of white ghosts.

In 09, the three girls who went into the woods to solve personal conflicts obviously also encountered the white ghost, one of the girls was captured by the white ghost, and the other two girls did kill a person, but they did not kill the girl who went into the woods together, but a long-haired white ghost.

When they fled back to the village, they were stupefied by what they had seen, and they told the villagers that they had killed someone, but they could not tell that they had killed a monster, and when the villagers went into the woods to look for the girl who had been captured by the white ghosts, the other white ghosts ran back to the village to take revenge on the two girls who had killed their kind, and hung the bodies out as a warning.

These long-haired white ghosts may not exactly treat people as their food, they eat people, but in their eyes, humans may be more like their mutant kind, and the act of the two girls being stripped naked and hung from a tree may just be a warning to the long-haired white ghosts to declare their hunting territory.

This warning did have its effect, and the people of Puyuan Village did not enter the forest again, and no one disturbed the lives of these strange people who lived underground, until a few high school students who did not know whether they were alive or dead came to explore the woods, and these white ghosts also came out of the cave again to prove who was the owner of this forest.

This is probably the truth behind the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient mansion in the forest.

But there is a question that still bothers Zhu Yue - what are these white ghosts?

Judging by their physical characteristics, they are indeed human, or have been human, but what turns them into cannibal monsters that have always lived underground? Weishenme: Will these monsters wander around the old house? That house is their hunting ground? Or does the house itself have an extraordinary meaning to these monsters?

Han Changnian has lived in this old house for so many years without any accidents, which obviously shows that the monster only appeared after Han Changnian left.

So is there any other connection between Han Changnian and these monsters?

Although these problems have nothing to do with ghosts, Zhu Yue still wants to solve all the mysteries of Zuihou.
