Chapter 48: Xiaowen
I have to say that Guiguzi still has some attainments in predicting the distance, and sure enough, in three days, Lin Yi and Guiguzi reached the next evil position, Anzhen!
This time they didn't rush as desperately as the previous two times, and they also rested on the way, so their spirits were okay.
Entering Anzhen, there was still a harmonious and normal atmosphere inside, although the sky was still dark, but according to Guiguzi, it should be dusk at this time.
"Old ghost, do you think these people are sick? It's been dark for so many days, and they still have the heart to do business? If it had been me, I would have run away. Lin Yi asked while wandering around.
Guiguzi smiled and said, "This can't be helped, is it possible that the people won't eat when the sky falls?" No matter what the situation is, the people still have to live after all, so let's not care so much, or look for ghosts. ”
"Gee, I don't see how you can say anything like that. I hope you don't make a fool of yourself this time, just help me analyze. ”
Lin Yi and the others were talking and laughing, and suddenly a young man dressed as an official and with a long knife hanging from his waist came in front of them, blocking the way of the two, arching his hand and saying, "The two friends are Maoshan disciples?" ”
Lin Yi and the others immediately stopped, looked at the official messenger vigilantly, and said, "Who are you?" ”
"I'm the head of Anzhen's shop, you can call me Xiaowen, two Taoist leaders, I've been waiting here for a long time!" Seeing that the two of them did not refute, Xiaowen said with a slightly excited look in his eyes.
Lin Yi looked puzzled and said, "How do you know that we are Maoshan disciples?" Besides, what are you waiting for us here? ”
Xiaowen calmed down and said, "That's the case, a very strange thing happened in this town recently!" I'll talk to you about that later. Last night, I dreamed that there was a black shadow that couldn't see clearly and said to me, "Let me wait here today for two Maoshan disciples." He said he was ready to see what the two of them could do to eliminate him. As for how they found the two, you see, although the people on the street are ordinary, everyone has some worried looks on their faces, only the two of them look calm, presumably the Maoshan disciples mentioned by the black shadow should be the two of them! ”
"Oh? Observe carefully enough, it seems that you are also very competent in this shop! To be honest, we came to Anzhen this time for this matter, since they took the initiative to give us a war letter, it also saved us a lot of work. Take us to the place where the strange thing happened! As he spoke, Xiaowen led the way, and Lin Yi and Guiguzi followed closely and walked towards the place where the incident occurred.
Along the way, Xiaowen simply told the two of them what happened, Lin Yi suddenly felt a headache, it seems that this time things are not so easy.
Anzhen is located in a remote area, so nothing major has happened for a long time, but since the sky suddenly stopped bright a few days ago, one person from each of the ten families living in the center of the town suddenly went crazy at the same time! And constantly attacking pedestrians on the road, so that many people were injured or even killed as a result!
The mayor of Anzhen saw that this was a little unusual, so he organized a security team led by Xiaowen to arrest all the ten crazy people and lock them up in an abandoned house, and by the way, they investigated the cause of their madness, but for several days, there was no progress at all.
In the face of the constant pressure exerted by the families of the dead and wounded, the mayor of the town was also really right, and finally decided that if the cause of their madness could not be found within three days, all ten madmen would be executed! But Xiaowen disagrees with this approach very much, because he understands that if he doesn't find a reason, even if he kills these ten madmen, maybe ten more will come out later.
Today is already the second day of the limited time given by the mayor, and it just so happened that Lin Yi and Guiguzi arrived in time, and Xiaowen breathed a sigh of relief.
"To be honest, I don't think those people are really crazy, there must be something affecting them, as long as the source is found, they will definitely be able to return to normal! Oh, and here we are, and there's a house in front of you with the ten madmen! Xiaowen said, raising his hand and pointing to a dilapidated house in front of him.
This dilapidated house should have been abandoned for a long time from the outside, there are fallen leaves and cobwebs everywhere, and the dim environment gives people an eerie feeling everywhere, it seems that the madness of those people is really related to ghosts!
"Wait a minute, I'll go find a lantern, if the ghost is still a shadow ghost this time, you can find it quickly!" Guiguzi said, turned around and went to look for the lantern.
"Ghosts? Lin Yi, are you sure that this incident was done by a ghost? Since he had already introduced himself before, Xiaowen was also a cheerful person, and called Lin Yi by his name.
Lin Yi looked around, nodded lightly, and said, "To be honest, the recent darkness is related to these ghosts, and the old ghost and I are looking for these ghosts everywhere for this matter." According to your description, it seems that the matter must have been the work of a ghost! By the way, Xiaowen, according to your investigation, do these crazy people have anything in common, or have they done the same thing before? ”
Xiaowen frowned and thought about it carefully: "There shouldn't be, if you insist on saying that there is anything in common, then you probably live in the center of Anzhen!" ”
Lin Yi nodded and said, "This is enough!" As long as there is something in common, it is not difficult to find out that terrible ghost! Let's go in and take a look, and if we don't find anything, then go to the place where they lived before, and there will definitely be a discovery! Saying that, Lin Yi didn't have anything to fear, he walked in with his head touched the darkness.
This dilapidated house is not very large, there is a room inside, the door of the house has disappeared, and the situation in the house is in full view.
The most conspicuous thing is the ten large iron cages placed in the room, each with a person in it, there are men and women, old and young, all of them are scattered, waiting for their eyes to stare at the front of the cage and stare at Lin Yi who is slowly approaching, just like a beast staring at its prey!
The eyes of the ten abnormal people all fell on Lin Yi, even Lin Yi felt a chill down his spine, and stopped after taking two steps, not daring to move forward any further.
"It's strange, why are they so quiet today? Normally, as soon as someone comes in, they will go crazy and try to pounce. Xiaowen looked at the people in the cage suspiciously, and said thoughtfully.
"Xiaowen, let me ask you something, will these madmen attack their own relatives?" Lin Yizai carefully looked at the people in the cage, and then asked.
"Nope! That's why I've been weird! If they are really crazy, they should not recognize the six relatives! But they never attack their loved ones, and for a while I even wondered if they were crazy. ”
As soon as Xiaowen's words fell, he heard a burst of bitter laughter from the ten people in the cage at the same time! Then he shouted at Lin Yi at the same time: "Maoshan is small! Lao Tzu is here! You have the ability to kill me! Hahaha! ”
