5. Silent Hill in the wilderness
Zhu Yue didn't have much to prepare, as long as he brought enough money and two high-voltage shock rods, it was enough. When she combed her hair and changed into a set of clothes that were more suitable for wilderness exploration, her whole mental state was refreshed.
Tang Hui has a car, so Zhu Yue doesn't have to bother to take any long-distance bus, and drives directly with Tang Hui in the direction of the resort where Ren Ran's family drives.
When he was on the way, Zhu Yue also explained the story to Tang Hui in detail, especially focusing on the long-haired white ghost of the old house and the missing boy told by Ren Ran.
After hearing this, Tang Hui felt that it was absolutely necessary to involve the police in this matter, so he immediately called the bureau.
As a result, the department in charge of investigating the missing person had received the news during the day yesterday and went to the old house in the forest to look for it, but there was no trace of the boy there. Now the police have sent a team to continue the search in the surrounding villages, but so far it has only been determined that the students have indeed been to the woods, but the whereabouts of the boy are still a mystery.
Tang Hui also asked his police colleagues on the phone if they had seen anything like a long-haired white ghost in the old house, and the answer was negative - there was nothing in the house, no people, no animals, no living creatures.
This was not good news, but it could save Tang Hui and Zhu Yue a lot of trouble, at least they didn't have to bother to inquire about the location of the forest and the old house.
After driving for two hours, Tang Hui and Zhu Yue arrived at the long-distance bus stop that Ren Ran said. Less than a hundred meters south of the site is a village, which, according to the police, is just southeast of the village with old houses.
The size of the village is not small, the houses are well planned, and there is a straight road in the middle of the village that leads to the end of the village, and when you drive into the village, you can see the words "restaurants and grocery stores". Tang Hui didn't stop, the location of the woods and the old house was already very clear, and there was no need for them to ask the villagers about anything.
From the end of the village, it takes more than ten minutes to drive southeast, and there are no roads to get to the woodland, and you need to climb over two hills, Zhu Yue and Tang Hui also got on the car at the foot of the mountain, and then began to hike over the mountain. Around noon, the two men climbed over two hills, and a misty forest finally appeared in front of them.
"You've been with Qiao Wei and Lei Sheng for so long, have you learned some exorcism spells?" Zhu Yue stood at the edge of the woods and said to Tang Hui.
Tang Hui shrugged his shoulders, "Qiao Wei said that I don't have that talent, but I also know some small tricks, such as ghosts are reluctant to get close to salt, and pure iron tools can be used to break up ghosts, etc., these things I carry with me now to be prepared." ”
"And do you have it with you? Smoke and iron. ”
"Brought it. With so much chaos, I'm starting to learn to be prepared now. As he spoke, Tang Hui also took out a whole bag of salt from the pocket of his police uniform. As for the iron tool, Tang Hui had already held it in his hand when he got out of the car - it was a black baton, a special pure iron baton.
No matter where she went to investigate the supernatural events before, Zhu Yue was a loner, if she was not afraid, it would definitely be false, she just used her persistence in supernatural events to overcome her fear. Now, there is one more Tang Hui by her side, which makes her feel a lot more at ease.
This is probably the reason why the God of Fortune arranged for Tang Hui to come over.
The forest was much larger than the two expected, and the fog of unknown origin also made it difficult for the two to find the old house. Gusts of mountain wind blew from the high slope in the northeast, blowing cold on her body, Zhu Yue didn't feel much when she was outside the forest, but after walking in the forest for a few minutes, she began to tremble.
"You're cold?"
Zhu Yue was stunned for a moment, and before she could answer, Tang Hui had already taken off his police uniform jacket and draped it on Zhu Yue's body.
"I didn't expect you, you're quite careful." Zhu Yue tightened her police uniform and said with a smile.
"I'm a police officer, I'm an investigator, and observation is my specialty."
"I don't want to be watched by you as a suspect. But...... xiexie。 ”
"You're welcome." Tang Hui smiled and waved his hand, then suddenly frowned and said, "Have you noticed, it seems that this forest is a little too quiet." ”
"Quiet?" Zhu Yue asked as she turned around and looked around, but she didn't notice anything unusual about the woods, "Isn't it generally like this in the woods?" It's still so cold, there shouldn't be any animals or anything, right? ”
"No, even if it's cold, there will be sparrows, and sparrows can be seen everywhere in the countryside. There are also magpies, you may not have noticed on the way over, there are many magpie nests in the trees on the side of the road, but there are no in this forest, not a single bird. Tang Hui said.
"It can't be that the fog is poisonous, right?" Zhu Yue began to get a little nervous.
"There shouldn't be any poison, otherwise we would have fallen a long time ago." After speaking, Tang Hui reached out and picked up a stone on the ground, and then casually found a direction and threw the stone far away.
The stone hit the branch in the distance with a crisp click.
There were no birdsongs, nothing flew, and after the echo slowly faded away, the whole woods returned to a dead silence.
"You might as well not have told me this, now I feel weird in the woods! I really don't understand the children now, good haode family will not have to go to this place to play what adventure! Zhu Yue muttered.
"You're talking about yourself, it's not appropriate to let a comfortable white-collar worker go, and you have to run to this place where birds don't to find something."
"I'm here to save people, I'm a good person."
"All right, good man, go over there, I seem to see in that old house."
Tang Hui was not mistaken, although the fog made the room look flickering, but as long as he got a little closer, he could see it clearly.
It was a house with a large compound, and it looked like it should have been built for many years. The tattered door and the broken glass on the window frames showed that the house had been abandoned for a long time, and that the walls and roof were crawling with dry rattan plants—there was no better place on Shijie to be haunted.
Tang Hui walked to the courtyard gate and gently pushed open the fence door outside, and the squeaking sound of the doorshaft was like a witch's incantation, and Zhu Yue's whole body trembled when he heard it.
"Still cold?" Tang Hui asked with concern.
Zhu Yue shook his head, then reached out and took out the high-voltage stun baton from his bag. Regardless of whether it is useful or not, with one more weapon in his hand, Zhu Yue finally felt a lot more at ease, and then, the two of them carefully stepped into this gloomy ancient mansion one after the other.
