Chapter 404: The Terrible Truth (Part 15)
"At first, only one or two people were missing, but halfway through the project, five people disappeared in one day! In the engineering team, rumors began to spread that there were ghosts in this place, and the workers went on strike one after another, refusing to do it any longer!"
Song Tianci said this, with a distressed expression on his face.
"Actually, we should have left this place and stopped doing it. However, we have already invested billions of dollars, and if we just give up halfway, all the money we invested in the early stage will be wasted! I discussed it with my friend and decided that no matter what happens, we must continue to do it! Fortunately, we soon discovered a phenomenon, that is, the missing people are all missing at night!
"Didn't see each other at night?"
Ye Hao asked.
"Yes, all disappeared after dark!"
"Nothing happened during the day?"
"Nothing happened during the day!"
Song Tianci replied in an affirmative tone.
When Ye Hao heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head and look around.
It was still the middle of the night, and except for the street lamp next to the pavilion, which was emitting some light, it was still pitch black outside, and it was so quiet that no sound could be heard at all.
Song Tianci was completely immersed in the memories and continued,
"Later, we made a rule to only work during the day. As soon as it gets dark, everyone has to go back to the house at once, no matter what they are doing, and they are not allowed to linger outside. In this way, the situation of missing people was finally brought under control. ”
"Did you find the missing people?"
"No, we sent people to look for it for a long time, but no one was able to find it, not even a corpse!"
Song Tianci began to sigh continuously.
Ye Hao stopped talking.
He remembered the corpses he had seen in the woods, and he remembered the time he had been trapped in the woods.
If he didn't have the help of the Shenhao system, he was afraid that he would also be trapped in that wood.
However, he thought of another question that puzzled him.
He had seen the Ecstasy Array in the woods just now, could it be that the Ecstasy Array did not work during the day?
However, when he thought about it, he felt that it was wrong.
If the Ecstasy Array doesn't work during the day, those trapped in the woods should be able to get out on their own. At the very least, those who came out to look for them during the day should be able to see them in the woods.
Thinking of this, Ye Hao couldn't help but ask,
"During the day, have you ever looked for something like the woods?"
"I've found it!"
"Did you find anything?"
"No, I didn't find anything!"
"Didn't you see any corpses or anything like that?"
"No, I haven't seen a living person or a corpse!"
Song Tianci replied in an affirmative tone.
Ji Mantang and the others also nodded on the side, indicating that what Song Tianci said was right.
As a result, Ye Hao felt even more confused.
"Won't you be trapped in the woods during the day?"
Ye Hao asked again.
"No! As I said, as long as it's daylight, nothing will happen anywhere!"
"That's weird!"
"Ye Dong, what do you mean by this? Could it be that you saw something in the woods?"
"Oh...... You keep talking about yours!"
Ye Hao hadn't thought about it yet, should he tell Song Tianci what he saw in the woods.
Song Tianci glanced at Ye Hao suspiciously, but did not ask any further, and began to tell about his previous experience.
"Although the situation of missing people has been controlled, because the missing people have not been recovered, the impact on those workers is still very great. Many people were still scared of the place and quit their jobs, and within a month, more than half of the workers were gone. We had no choice but to raise the wages of our workers dramatically, and we brought in a new batch of workers from outside. ”
"Did anything happen after that?"
"Thankfully, nothing happened until the whole project was completed. However, the construction period was delayed for a long time because the work could only be carried out during the day, and we also increased the wages of our workers significantly, which led to our capital investment far exceeding the original budget. The two of us ran out of money very quickly, and we had to start borrowing!"
"How much money did you borrow?"
"Alas, I borrowed a lot of money, not counting interest, I borrowed more than 4 billion for the principal alone!"
"Borrowed so much money?"
"Yes, we thought too simple at the time, thinking that as long as this place is built, it will definitely attract countless people to visit and stay, and when the time comes, there will be a lot of money!
"What's going on?"
"On the first day after the project was completed, my friend and I were both very excited and felt that we could finally make a lot of money. That night, we drank a lot of alcohol together, and we all got drunk and ran out of Kamui Hall in a daze. As a result, my friend disappeared that night. I had drunk more than he did, and before I could get far, I fell drunk on a meadow. But when I woke up the next day, I found myself sleeping on the roof of a bungalow!"
"What?!"
Ye Hao was stunned.
"Later, I learned that the buildings, flowers and trees in this Shenwei General's Mansion seem to be alive and will move their positions by themselves!"
"Boom!"
"Ye Dong, you just said that you came out of a forest, but when you look back again, you can't see that forest again, right?"
"That's right!"
"That's because the woods will run away on their own!"
"Boom!"
Ye Hao's back suddenly felt a chill.
He originally thought that he was trapped in the woods because of the Ecstasy Array. He didn't expect that the situation would be even more complicated than he thought!
That wood, in fact, is constantly moving!
Ye Hao stopped talking and fell into deep memories.
He remembered that when he first chased him out of the Shenwei Hall, he had encountered similar situations several times.
The original bell and drum tower disappeared all of a sudden, and at the same location, a five-story white tower appeared inexplicably.
"Hehe, Ye Dong, you don't think I'm talking nonsense, right?"
Song Tianci laughed self-deprecatingly when he said this.
Ye Hao shook his head again and again,
"I'm sure what you're saying is true, because I've been through this several times tonight!"
"No, you've been through this several times in one night?!"
Song Tianci was stunned.
He turned his head and glanced at Ji Mantang.
Ji Mantang said with a solemn expression,
"Dong Song, the situation is really getting worse and worse!"
