Chapter Twenty-Four: The Vanishing Curse
Xiao Chen and Dongfang Xiaobai fell asleep, they were not worried about the sudden arrival of danger, after all, Dongfang Xiaobai was still a spirit medium. Although the perception has been confused and there have been mistakes before, it will not be like this every time, otherwise the spirit medium will not be the bloodline that the executors envy in the cursed world.
Besides, the two of them don't only have this layer of protection, Xiao Chen's zombie clone is still there! The zombie clone had been hiding under the small courtyard where Xiao Chen lived, because the dense fog there had not dissipated, and it was gradually spreading outward, and now it had spread far away, encompassing several nearby courtyards.
Because the fog was so strange, none of the people of the Huang family dared to live in it, and they all moved out of their own yards. Fortunately, there are not many other places in Yinshan Town, but there are many places! So Xiao Chen and each of them chose a room from other courtyards, and Xiao Chen lived in his father's yard at this time.
Originally, Xiao Chen wanted to let the zombie clone stay in the dense fog to see if anything would happen. But before it was dark, Old Man Huang organized several groups of people into the thick fog. And they all have some strange things in their hands.
Xiao Chen wasn't sure if they could find the zombie clone, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he withdrew the zombie clone. It's arranged underground outside the house now. Dongfang Xiaobai already knew that Xiao Chen had already got the zombie clone out, although he didn't know where Xiao Chen got the corpse, but he didn't ask too much. She's a smart girl who knows what to ask and what not to ask.
Just when midnight came, Xiao Chen and Dongfang Xiaobai woke up at the same time! They all sensed an unusual force. This power covered the entire Hidden Mountain Town in an instant!
"It's Zhang Bin! He's going to die in three seconds! Dongfang Xiaobai said suddenly, and as soon as he came out, it was this kind of shocking news. Could it be that people are going to die on the first day of the mission?
"Knock, knock. Knock" a full twelve bells rang, and then, Dongfang Xiaobai said: "It's late, he's dead!" â
Xiao Chen knew that what Dongfang Xiaobai was talking about was Zhang Bin, the low-level executor of Island 17. "What's going on. Dead so quickly, this doesn't fit the flow of a normal task! At the very least, there must be a strange event, so that the executors should be prepared, a dense fog alone does not seem to mean anything. Xiao Chen said to Dongfang Xiaobai in the consciousness transmitter.
"It's not surprising. The reason why we have not been able to find out any information is because people on both sides have scruples and do not cooperate wholeheartedly. And the real clues are in the hands of the high-level of the Huang family! Do you still remember the strange things that Old Man Huang sent into the hands of the groups of people in the thick fog, although they were not cursed things. But there is a strange resentment on it! Dongfang Xiaobai said to Xiao Chen. She entered the cursed world several months earlier than Xiao Chen, and of course she knew something better than him.
"Well, it seems that we have to talk to that yellow label tomorrow, and cooperation is already a must." Xiao Chen said sternly, the difficulty of this curse seemed to be beyond his expectations, because Dongfang Xiaobai only sensed Zhang Bin's death three seconds in advance, which was already very rare.
Xiao Chen and the two of them did not go out to check the situation, but continued to sleep. They need to retain an adequate body lĂŹ. Besides, now a person is dead, according to the rules of the cursed world. The ghosts aren't going to kill again right away, so they're safe now.
In the blink of an eye, the night passed. It was Dongfang Xiaobai who woke up Xiao Chen, of course, it was not that Xiao Chen was lazier than Dongfang Xiaobai, but Huang Wei was like this, Xiao Chen naturally had to learn from him. Xiao Chen felt that the current life seemed to be not bad, if it weren't for the curse around him threatening his life, Xiao Chen really wanted to enjoy it!.
When Xiao Chen got up to have breakfast, he found that there was no one in the cafeteria. After asking the people at home, I found out that there was an accident at the entrance of the town!
No need to ask, Xiao Chen also knew that it must have been Zhang Bin's dead body that was discovered. And according to the twelve bells heard last night, then the place of the crime must be by the big bell at the entrance of the village!
At the entrance to the town of Hidden Mountain, there is a very tall old tree. In Xiao Chen's opinion, eighty percent of this old tree has died. Because there are no new shoots on it, and there are only a few green branches. And according to Xiao Chen's observations, it should be a new branch drawn from a dead old tree.
And on top of the old tree, there is a huge bell! This bell is as thick as three or four people embracing, and two people are high, which is a rare giant bell! According to Huang Wei's memory, this bell seems to be very ancient, in short, according to the words of the older generation, it is that since there is Yinshan Town, this bell has always existed.
Yesterday, when Xiao Chen was walking around Hidden Mountain Town, he had already noticed this bell, and at that time he just thought it was too old and suspicious, but now, he already knew that this mission might have something to do with the discount giant clock. However, this bell is definitely not a curse, even if Xiao Chen has not tried it, but it is still certain.
After all, last night's bell was clearly audible, and as long as you weren't a fool, you knew that the curse must have something to do with the giant bell. So if the giant bell is a cursed thing, then it will be discovered casually, and the cursed world will not do such a stupid thing!
However, Xiao Chen and Dongfang Xiaobai still ran to the entrance of the village without having breakfast, after all, this was the first person to die, and maybe they left some clues. It's like when Xiao Chen's first mission was the first time, the Mandate of Heaven was the executor of the head teacher, so he left clues and helped Xiao Chen determine the curse in the end.
After Xiao Chen and Dongfang Xiaobai came to the scene, they found that they were late. The corpses had been removed, leaving only the blood on the bell and the trees, all covered in blood.
"No, even if all his blood is drained, it won't flow out so much!" As soon as Xiao Chen saw that there were still blood stains on the trees on the clock on the ground, he realized that something was wrong, and quickly found a townsman who had just seen the scene to inquire about the situation.
When the townspeople saw that it was the Huang family who asked them questions, they immediately became enthusiastic.
"Xiaowei is you, what did you say, the scene just now? Oops, don't mention it! It's miserable! Twelve men, all dead, and blood spilled all over the ground. Didn't you see so much blood, this is still a simple cleanup! The townsfolk told exactly what they saw.
Only then did Xiao Chen know that it turned out that there was not one, but a whole twelve! In other words, the twelve bells rang last night correspond to twelve people! And according to the townspeople's descriptions, twelve men, each with a ruptured head, appear to have been crushed by a blunt object.
But Xiao Chen knew that it should be yesterday's twelve bells! Each of these twelve bells is the sound of a man's head hitting a giant bell and then crashing out! Therefore, there is a phenomenon that everyone is opened.
This is not Xiao Chen's speculation, but Li Chengwan's speculation. That's right, it's Li Chengwan. As the only doctor in Hidden Mountain Town, of course, she temporarily took over the duties of a forensic doctor, and she did all the work of examining the corpse. She had already briefly surveyed the scene and found a strange thing, that is, the giant bell would not ring at all!
She turned her head and struck the bell hard, but it didn't make a sound! And when asked about the townspeople in the town, they all said that this bell is a dumb bell, it will not ring at all, and no one has ever rung this bell!
And when Li Chengwan asked if they heard the bell last night, the answer was different. Someone heard, someone didn't. But the executors all heard the bells. And Dongfang Xiaobai and Xiao Chen had already woken up before the bell rang, which of course benefited from the sensing ability of the two.
"It's not surprising that although the bell is loud, the quality of people's sleep is also different. Some people sleep soundly, and some people wake up when they move a little. That's why some people hear the bell and some don't. As for the executors, they are even more representatives who wake up whenever there is a stir, and of course they will all hear the bells. Dongfang Xiaobai said.
Xiao Chen and Li Chengwan agreed, thinking that what Dongfang Xiaobai said was very reasonable.
"But what's the matter with that bell? It rang last night, but it didn't ring today. Also, Who said that this bell is a dumb bell? Xiao Chen didn't want to let go of any clues, so he decided to start tracking down from this bell.
"Why it rang yesterday and didn't ring today, I don't know what's going on. I've also tested it, and this bell is not a curse. As for the dumb bell, it was said by all the townspeople, even those who heard the bell, and they wondered why the old bell, which had not rang for a thousand years, had actually sounded! Li Chengwan replied, telling everything she knew for the two of them to analyze. There is a lot of power, maybe someone can come up with something different!
"Let's go, let's go and study the issue of cooperation with Huang Biao and them first, if the suspicion on both sides continues, I'm afraid that sooner or later we will all die!" Xiao Chen knew that now the problem was already big, Zhang Bin, the low-level executor, hung up without even making a little waves, and even the cursed things he carried with him were missing, and Xiao Chen didn't dare to guarantee the safety of Dongfang Xiaobai and Li Chengwan.
Find Huang Biao and the butler, and find that the two of them are with the other two executors of Island Seventeen, the faces of all four of them are gloomy, the executor who is approaching death is from their Island Seventeen, and most importantly, his curse is gone! (To be continued......)
