Chapter 189: Old Photos
The old cat's words didn't surprise me very much, because just now, I already had a hunch that the place in the photo must be connected to the "Eyes of the Earth" project.
Lin Xihui and I didn't speak, and the two of us looked at the old cat and waited for him to continue.
The old cat threw the cigarette handle in his hand and continued to say to us that on the second day of the photo shooting, something very strange happened in the local area, after saying this, the old cat suddenly paused, and corrected his own words just now, "It shouldn't be said to be weird, it should be supernatural, there was a supernatural and terrifying incident in the local area." ”
Hearing the old cat say this, I was even more puzzled, my understanding of the old cat, all in the "itinerary", the old cat is a member of the black umbrella, what strange things have not seen or heard of? When we were in Tassie, we encountered so many strange and extraordinary things, and we didn't hear the old cat describe it like this, let alone see the nervous look on the old cat's face now.
The situation that can make the old cat say the words "supernatural and terrifying" must be unusual.
Then the old cat told me a story that surprised Lin Xihui and me.
That was about twenty or thirty years ago, when the archaeological team stationed there had been here for nearly four or five years, but there were fewer and fewer "archaeological" discoveries, and the most terrifying thing was that there were more and more strange things.
After four or five years, the original village has been very depressed, the villagers have basically moved out of here, and the rest of the people in the village, except for the archaeological team members, there is no one else, maybe they have lived here for a long time, and the living habits of the huge archaeological team have been similar to the locals. Those who don't know may think that the archaeological team is the local villagers. So at that time, there were only a few villagers left in the village, and then the members of the archaeological team disappeared mysteriously every few days.
The strange thing started with the cave they discovered.
At that time, the leader of the archaeological team was called Jin Li. It is said that he is a professor of archaeology at a university, but in fact, this Professor Jin also has an identity, which is a member of the "Black Umbrella". Professor Jin stayed in this village for four or five years with the team, during which time he did not even return home, and all his experiences were put into this archaeological work.
Because the archaeological work is classified, the whole work is very fragmented, and everyone is responsible for their own business. Then report the matters they are responsible for to Professor Kim, and Professor Kim will coordinate them.
In addition to Professor Jin, there is also a "captain" surnamed Kong in the archaeological team, Captain Kong is responsible for all aspects of the archaeological team, and the entire "Eye of the Earth" project is in charge of Professor Jin and Captain Kong, but the team members at that time. There is almost nothing known about this Captain Kong. Because they rarely see Captain Kong, and the one they see the most is Professor Jin.
After discovering the cave, Professor Kim took people into it once, but the archaeological operation was very unsuccessful, because except for Professor Kim. None of the archaeological team members came back alive, and the only survivor, Professor Jin, also became very eccentric, no longer as kind as before, and just stayed alone in his bamboo building. Every day, I wait for the team members who are in charge of each work to report to him.
The team members who went to report their work found that Professor Jin's residence, whether it was on the wall or on the ground, was painted with some strange hieroglyphs by Professor Jin, but this kind of hieroglyphs had never been seen even by the archaeological team members. No one knows what happened to Professor Kim and them in the cave, and no one knows if the missing archaeologists are still alive.
Later, the matter of Professor Jin and the archaeological team members entering the cave became more and more bizarre, and Captain Kong, who was one of the people in charge, only gave an official answer, that is, in the archaeological work of the cave, Professor Jin and the army were separated, so he himself came up first, and as for why the others did not come out of the cave, Captain Kong was vague.
Later, Captain Kong took over Professor Jin's work and replaced Professor Jin's field archaeology, but Captain Kong and the others never went down to the cave again, he and the team members were just looking for something around the cave, and later this "search" became a search in the whole village and the whole mountain.
Since the disappearance of the archaeological team, there have been team members in the village who have disappeared almost every few days, and every night after the hour, there will be strange sounds outside, sometimes like the sound of a ghost, sometimes like a child's cry, and even sometimes, there will be a dragon's roar, and the direction of the sound is the direction of the cave.
The two photos taken by Team Zhang's parents were also arranged for them to be taken by Captain Kong, but just after his parents carried out this mission, it was only the next day, and all the people who participated in this archaeological work before, whether they came here four or five years ago, or those who joined later, disappeared overnight! After a night in the village, only the children of the archaeological team remained.
At that time, the disappearance of the archaeological team members was very strange, their disappearance was more like a kind of "evaporation from the world", neither took anything away, nor found any traces, and the disappearance was too bizarre.
And the strangest thing is that the day after the archaeological team was found missing, the village was surrounded by a thick fog, and the sound of a dragon's chant kept coming, and all the information about this archaeology disappeared in the fog!
"What do you mean to disappear in the fog?" I interrupted the old cat and immediately asked.
The old cat said coldly, "It is said that the children watched the archaeological materials collected by their parents disappear in front of their eyes!" ”
Hearing this answer, I was stunned, I wanted to ask something, but I didn't know how to ask. What does it mean to "disappear into thin air"?
Although I didn't ask, the old cat said, just as I thought, that the archaeological materials and some books had disappeared out of thin air in front of his eyes.
I couldn't accept it for a while, if I just said that people disappeared out of thin air, but what I just heard was that a book of information disappeared out of thin air in front of my eyes, which can't be said to be supernatural, but a fantasy!
I suddenly realized the two photos in my hand, and immediately asked the old cat, how to explain the two photos in my hand? This is also information about archaeological work? Why didn't these two photos disappear?
The old cat spread his hands, indicating that this question was also a question he had been puzzled about, so the old cat expected that the parents of the Zhang team must know what the reason for this supernatural event was.
After the collective disappearance of the archaeological team, about a day or so, a group of people came to the village, and these people took all the remaining children in the village, and the whole village was "abandoned" at once, and the children who were picked up were all settled.
The old cat then went on to say that after the disappearance of the archaeological team, the village was not just abandoned, but looked more like a curse!
The old cat told us that the thick fog in the village, since the supernatural incident, has been shrouding the village, and will not recede all year round, so even when there is sunshine, we can only feel the sun through the thick fog, and it is almost a fool's dream to see the true body of the sun. But the strange thing is that although there is a heavy fog, the soil in the village is unusually fertile, and whatever is planted in the soil grows, and the crops grow very well.
"Wait, there's something I don't understand...... Lin Xihui suddenly interrupted the old cat's words at this time, and looked at the old cat with a pensive expression.
The old cat stopped and waited for Lin Xihui to continue, and then Lin Xihui said, "What makes me feel incomprehensible is that there should be no record of these things, and I'm afraid that the person who knows about this matter is probably no longer alive now." But...... How do you know these things? (To be continued.) )
