Dear Brother,

I'm sorry I haven't been in touch with you for so long, and maybe, in the past three years, you're still holding a grudge against that incident.

However, I also have a compelling struggle.

Although I haven't seen each other for many years, I have always missed the past.

I think of the days when we discussed novels together, full of ideals and high morale.

I think of the time when we flew birds together and fell all over the mud, but still laughed.

Those innocent days have become the best traces in my mind.

Of course, if that doesn't happen!

Memories are like a tidal wave, sometimes high, awakening my yearning for the good old days, and sometimes low, buried deep in the deepest part of my heart, so that I dare not face the irreparable mistakes that I have made due to my youth and ignorance.

If God gave me another chance, I would never do that kind of ignorant thing to hurt you, who are closest to me.

After you left, I endured the torment in my heart all the time, and in order to eliminate the guilt in my heart, I spent my days and nights contemplating supernatural novels, trying to pursue the truly terrifying things.

To this end, I began to investigate the supernatural events in the town, tracing the brutal murders that happened in the past, and the absurd horror legends, hoping that one day, I could write a real horror novel based on the experience I had accumulated over the years.

But, I was wrong, I was really wrong.

Because, in the process of investigating, I gradually discovered some unknown secrets.

These secrets hidden in the darkness are like a swamp where no one survives, so that I am deeply trapped in them, unable to extricate myself, even if I want to escape, but I can never get rid of them, the shocking secrets that are like a nightmare of Buddha!

So, I hope you never go back to town!

Otherwise, death awaits you forever!

This place has long been a place of death, and only the dead can survive here!

I won't say much about the rest, I hope you can understand my good intentions.

At last.

Wish:

You and your wife will be happy and safe forever!

Love your brother

September 19, 2015

After reading this letter, Van Helsing frowned slightly, with a thoughtful look, and then, his eyes moved slightly, silently staring at the young man in front of him.

The young man in front of him is named Liu Heng, about 20 years old, who has just graduated and studied painting.

At this time, Liu Heng lowered his head, looked confused, his eyes were scattered, his pupils seemed to have no focus, staring at the smooth ground in a daze, his raunchy face and almost whitish clothes and pants revealed his helpless life!

Liu Heng, as a recent college graduate, should be vibrant, full of hope for the future, and full of new vitality, but now he is like an old man who has been tortured by ruthless years, he has always been unsmiling, silent, lifeless, lifeless, and like he is about to fall into the dust!

What terrible thing happened to make him change so dramatically in his youth?

Van Helsing's eyes showed incomprehension, so he was extremely interested in this matter.

I saw that Fan Helsing's face was calm, Gu Jing was not wavering, and said indifferently: "Mr. Liu, first of all, I have a question for you. ā€

Liu Heng's head was lowered, raised slightly, and his slack gaze seemed to be out of focus, looking extremely sluggish.

"Judging by the date of the epistle, it has been a month, so why is it being shown to me now? Secondly, this letter has no special meaning, it is nothing more than an expression of your brother's discovery of some ulterior secrets! Do you want me to help you crack this secret? ā€

Faced with Fan Helsing's question, Liu Heng was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke: "My ...... Girlfriend is dead! ā€

Hearing this, Van Helsing's expression was slightly surprised, he didn't expect to get such an answer!

Originally, he thought that Liu Heng would say some earth-shattering secrets, or say some unbelievable things, but he never thought that Liu Heng would mention the death of his girlfriend!

Suddenly, Van Helsing's interest intensified, and he leaned forward slightly, looking curious, and asked, "Oh, can you tell me your story?" ā€

Liu Heng's scattered gaze became blurred, and his thoughts seemed to return to the past and present, slowly reminiscing.

"The story happened about a month ago, when I received this strange letter inexplicably, I had a very bad relationship with my brother, and now although I received his letter, I didn't have any nostalgia."

"After reading this letter at the time, I felt very strange, because, according to my brother's tone, it seemed that something terrible had happened in the town of the past, and his life seemed to be threatened, but I had already broken off with him, so I didn't pay attention to it at all."

"I thought it was just a wave in my life, but with it came an unexpected fear!"

said, when the word fear was spoken, Liu Heng's face was obviously distorted, it was a strange expression that could only be formed by fear and fear, intertwined with each other.

"Fear? What fear? Van Helsing stared at Liu Heng's frightened face, unwilling to miss any details.

Liu Heng's eyes showed a hint of fear, and then said: "Three days after receiving the letter, I received a strange puppet in my rental room inexplicably! ā€

"Strange puppets?" Hearing this, Van Helsing narrowed his eyes slightly and muttered to himself, his expression was a little more curious, obviously thinking about this important factor.

"That's right, this strange-shaped puppet has a note on its chest, with red blood on it, writing: If you escape for a while, you can't escape for a lifetime, Gumu Village will always be your burial place!"

Hearing this, Van Helsing's eyes sank and fell into deep thought.

"At first, the puppet didn't catch my attention, and I mistakenly thought it was the wrong one, but when I saw the address and my name on it, I realized that it was indeed sent to me."

"Then, I looked through the package and found that it was not delivered by a courier company, but someone with an address and name written down and placed it at the door of my rental house!"

"I was curious about this, thinking it was a prank by a friend, but when I thought about it, I felt that something was wrong."

"Because I don't have many friends in the city, obviously no one is bored to this point, and the rental house has only recently changed, and absolutely no one will know, except for my girlfriend, of course!"

"Do you think it could be your girlfriend's prank?" Van Helsing asked rhetorically, "Maybe she just wants to make a good joke with you!" Why don't you think so?"

Hearing the word girlfriend, Liu Heng's expression changed significantly.

He shook his head violently, cried in his voice, and said angrily: "Absolutely impossible! Because when my girlfriend saw the puppet, she curiously asked me which friend gave it to me, so it couldn't be her! And the most unacceptable thing for me is that she died mysteriously three days after I received the gift! ā€

Hearing this, Van Helsing raised his eyebrows and asked, "Strange death?" What's a bizarre method? ā€

Liu Heng pursed his lips, shook his head lightly, and sighed: "I don't know, I just know that I was still designing comics in the company at the time, and suddenly several policemen arrested me in the bureau, and after severe interrogation, I still couldn't answer any questions, so they took the way of detention, and let me spend more than ten days in prison, until I didn't find any evidence, and then I was acquitted!" ā€

"When I came out of the bureau, the news about my girlfriend's mysterious death had spread all over the streets, and everyone knew about it!"

"The content of the newspaper is extremely simple, it doesn't specify anything at all, and the photos published are also blurry, except that the blood stains in the photos are clearly visible, as if they fill the whole room, like Shura hell, miserable."

As he spoke, Liu Heng shook his head and sighed, looking sad, as if he couldn't break free from the shackles in his heart.

Facing the depressed Liu Heng, Fan Helsing frowned and said puzzledly: "In other words, you haven't seen the murder scene either?" It was only when he was at work that he was suddenly caught by the police in the bureau and then detained for a period of time before he was released? ā€

Liu Heng nodded silently, his pursed lips tightened a little, and his fists were slightly clenched, looking restless.

But why do you think it has anything to do with this epistle? Exactly, what is the reason that makes you think that your girlfriend's death was caused by this letter! ā€

Van Helsing picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip lightly, and looked at Liu Heng calmly.

"It's the puppet!" Liu Heng suddenly covered his head in pain, and said in horror: "The puppet was once in our Gumu Village, it is an ominous symbol, whenever someone dies, a puppet will definitely be placed next to him, this is an unwritten rule of our Gumu Village!" ā€
