Chapter 58: Eraser

The expedition team was presented with a bleak and dilapidated landscape, the first thing that caught the eye was the crumbling and dilapidated houses near the entrance to the village, the remains of buildings covered in vines and vegetation, and the country paths hidden in the weeds.

"Is this Changsheng Village?" Shi Yu's eyes flashed like little stars, and his face was full of curiosity and excitement, "It looks like I have hidden a lot of secrets!" ”

Yang Xin brushed away the hair that was stuck to his forehead because of sweat: "I remember that some people in the forum said that there are always some supernatural events here, and people who have come here to explore danger say that sometimes they can hear the sound of people coughing and sighing in the house, and some strange lights can be faintly seen in the village at night, and people who live here will have a high fever or something for no reason...... What's even more outrageous is that some people say that they see white paper lanterns hanging at the door of every house, and there are also mourning formations composed of paper figures, welcoming relatives carrying coffins, and sedan chairs coming out of the village......"

Shi Yu tried to follow Yang Xin's description and imagined the supernatural events that happened in this village.

On a dark and moonless night, outdoor enthusiasts who have traveled here come to settle in this abandoned mountain village, but as soon as they enter the village, they feel that it exudes an eerie atmosphere, and deep sighs and violent coughs can be heard in the houses where no one is there.

In the middle of the night, when the travelers found a ruined temple and were about to sleep, they saw that the whole village suddenly lit up with a miserable white light, and at some point the pale and oozing paper lanterns were hung at the door of each house, and there were countless paper people on the village streets, with strange makeup and blush painted on their faces, they walked stiffly on the streets, some carrying coffins, and the other carrying sedan chairs in a long winding line, and the paper figures at the front of the line beat gongs and drums happily. The paper man at the end of the queue swayed white paper money and cried out of mourning......

It feels like it could be written as a nice supernatural story!

Zhao Chensi on the side just saw Shi Yu, whose eyes were wandering and wandering in the world, knew that this girl was making up something blindly.

Shi Yu is not only very interested in all kinds of supernatural phenomena and supernatural events, and because of professional habits, she also likes to connect a lot of things that look very normal, and then add a lot of hidden secrets and unknown settings behind it as the material for the novel, and Yang Xin is also more fanatical in dealing with supernatural events and supernatural phenomena, is a horror game lover and has the habit of collecting supernatural stories, this expedition is mainly to find excitement and surprises for ordinary life.

After the five-hour journey, even a slower person like Zhao Chensi gradually became familiar with the other people in the expedition team, and under Wan Qi's active and continuous talk, the former also had a preliminary understanding of the personalities of the three people in the expedition team.

And the other two, Joseph is a very responsible and enthusiastic team leader, every other way will confirm the situation of the whole team, as long as someone is a little unable to keep up with the trend of the team, before the other party opens his mouth to stop he will find a stable place for everyone to replenish water, eat and rest, through uneven rocky areas and easy to step on the soft muddy ground, will also loudly remind attention to the use of trekking poles, once Shi Yu and Yang Xin scream, or what happens later, I'm going to turn around and rush to ......

Zhao even had the illusion that Joseph was a little overprotective of them.

Chen Weilun belongs to the type of taciturn and boring things, Wan Qi also tried to talk to him several times during the break, but the other party always maintained the state of silently listening to Wan Qi's chaotic chatter, and Zhao Chensi still knew the least about him along the way.

As for these supernatural rumors mentioned by Yang Xin, Zhao Chensi also saw them when he collected information in the early stage, and tried to trace the source, and then he found something very interesting, another explanation of the above rumors by another group of travelers or outdoor enthusiasts:

Although the number is not very large, most of them are people who seem to be in poor health and suffer from bronchial diseases, because they can't stand the rhythm of life and the air environment in the larger towns, so they will move back to live for a while......

"This village hides a lot of secrets! I'm going to stream our adventures live on the forums! Shi Yu said and took out his mobile phone from his pocket with great interest and wanted to post a live broadcast on the supernatural forum, and then showed a disappointed look: "There is no signal here, eh......"

"Although I don't know much about this, but this place has been abandoned for many years, and it is normal for operators to cancel mobile communication services near this village to reduce costs......" Zhao Chensi, who also entered the village with him, explained casually, he looked around at the scattered buildings around him, and the internal wooden structure could be faintly seen in the gaps in the collapsed and dilapidated houses, "Brick and wood structure houses, only about forty or fifty years of life, right?" I don't know if there are any of these houses that we can live in, otherwise we might have to sleep in the wild today......"

Wan Qi patted his bulging backpack and inserted a sentence: "Don't worry, I also have the camping tent you asked me to buy before, and it's no problem to sleep in the wilderness!" ”

I just don't want to pitch a tent in the wilderness...... Zhao Chensi rolled his eyes and decided not to bother with him anymore.

Changsheng Village is actually not very big, and it only took more than half an hour to go around the village under the leadership of Joseph, and they also roughly figured out the structure of the village.

The whole village is divided into four parts by two cross-cutting rural dirt roads, and the houses of the villagers are basically built along the road, and there are only about 200 people living here at most.

Most of the houses built by these villagers are two- to three-storey, and they are brick and wood houses with a yard. However, due to the age of the materials, these houses in disrepair also look dilapidated, and the wind and rain have eroded and decayed backyard fences everywhere, the glass has been shattered, and only a hollow window is left with wooden framed windows, and there are many large iron gates in the front yard that have crawled with red rust and collapsed on the ground.

It was a pity for Shi Yu that they had not encountered something as exciting or unbelievable as in the rumors.

On the contrary, I saw a lot of dusty cigarette butts, plastic bags, cans and other household garbage left here in those dilapidated houses.

Apparently there were a lot of outdoor enthusiasts who had come here before them, leaving such a lot of garbage behind.

"After the supernatural rumors of Changsheng Village spread on the Internet, there were also many outdoor enthusiasts who came to check in......" Joseph looked at the garbage that had been thrown on the ground and accumulated dust here, and he didn't know if it was a few months or several years, and looked at Shi Yu, who was already tired, without a trace, "Let's clean up this place together with a few men, and let's settle down in this room today." ”

Zhao Chensi and the others, who were also a little tired after walking for most of the day, naturally did not suggest, and then they scattered to find cleaning tools.

Although the state arranged for the villagers to move out and move out en masse, they did not pack everything and take everything away, and there are still many tattered daily necessities that have been damaged and have not been taken away at all.

Zhao Chensi and Wan Qi just walked around the front yard and found two brooms that were almost bald and had broken handles.

Chen Weilun and Joseph found a broken bucket with a hole in the backyard and other rooms and a hand-pressed well that could still press out water.

After a lot of work, they sprinkled water and cleaned up, and several people finally swept away the domestic garbage and dust left by their predecessors to a pile and cleaned up a relatively clean area. Shi Yu and Yang Xin also helped to put together the moisture-proof mats they brought and spread them on the ground.

After arranging the rest point, including the taciturn Chen Weilun, everyone in the expedition team lay on the moisture-proof mat as softly as salted fish, even if there was a bit of a crusty feeling on the cement floor on their backs, no one wanted to get up.

"Huh...... Looks like you're tired too. Joseph smiled in understanding when he saw the crowd slumped on the mat and didn't even want to move their fingers, "You guys just rest here for a while, and I'll go out and check the surroundings to see if there are any signs of wild beast activity......"

So saying, he left the room and went out of the courtyard towards the village.

Although Zhao Chensi was paralyzed on the ground, his eyes remained silently on Joseph, and he did not speak until his figure disappeared.

Drifting away from the old house where the expedition had temporarily settled, Joseph limped towards the south of the village, and only stopped when he reached the end of the village.

Then he took out two pieces of paper densely filled with small characters and a small bottle of salt from his trouser pocket, found a hidden corner, put the paper away, and picked up a stone to press it, and turned around a few times to repeatedly confirm that it would not be found through different angles, and then he relieved himself to unscrew the cap of the bottle, and slightly shook his wrist to outline a mysterious and complicated pattern with the paper as the center.

After doing this, Joseph clapped his hands and found a few more stones to cover up the paper and pattern, disguising it as an inconspicuous small stone pile.

Looking at the corner of the enchantment that had been arranged, he nodded with satisfaction after a busy work: "The next thing that needs to be erected is the base points on the west and east sides of the village......

"When these four base points are set up, no matter how much they flutter, they won't be able to make any trouble......"

Lucky Ancient God Office, Infinite Corridor.

Wu Ming, Mia and the Scarlet Queen searched for three days in a row, and after staying up late every day to sacrifice a lot of hair volume and eyesight, now they finally have results.

"Big brother, big brother~ Look, can this containment object solve the problem of that young lady?"

The crimson queen, who was placed on the black leather giant book, made an emotionless synthesized sound, and then took a picture of the information she locked by calling the camera, and processed it into a picture for Wu Ming to see.

“00-E-12345。”

"This containment does not possess active consciousness and the ability to actively induce paranormal phenomena, and the scope of influence caused by its use is limited to a single person, and does not diffuse the impact, so it is classified as a Type 00 Type E containment."

"The containment object is in the form of a brown-yellow rectangular eraser measuring 30 x 20 x 11 mm, but the corners have been worn and disappeared due to many experiments and uses in the past, and the entire eraser has become oval-shaped, and the front of the eraser is also printed with the words '4B Art 100A'. When not properly used, the containment does not exhibit hazards, and normal containment mode is to be activated. ”

Mia glanced at the picture processed by the Crimson Queen, helped her round-framed glasses, and extracted the corresponding information from the memory palace: "Universal eraser, the effect is 'erase', no matter what is tangible and intangible can be erased by it......"

"These include all sorts of abstract things, such as natural talents, curses, and even extraordinary potential......"
