After finishing my meal in front of the running line, I came to the playground without delay.

Avoiding the open space, I bypassed the sports equipment room and came to the back of the house.

When the appointed time came, I did not hesitate at all and went directly into the back mountain.

The smell of earth came to me, and I finally felt a sense of intimacy that I hadn't felt in a long time.

The trees in the back mountain are not dense, and the exposed soil has been dried by the sun, and there is no abnormality to be seen when you look up, as if you are walking in a field.

The only difference is that there are a lot of unsightly things discarded on the ground here, and it seems that the students here also have a restless heart.

The further you go up the mountain, the less garbage there is,

But I still didn't see anything unusual along the way.

As I was about to reach the top of the mountain, I finally saw what I wanted to see.

It was a cave, not big, big enough for two people to enter side by side.

At the entrance of the cave was a thigh-thick wooden stake, with rusty chains entwined around it.

The chains, as if often pulled, were already deeply embedded in the stakes.

The other end of the chain hung down from the ground and stretched into the dark cavern.

The dirt on the ground was different from the rest of the place, with a brown tinge.

This color is familiar to me, it is the result of being soaked in blood for a long time.

"Looks like the answer should be in the cave."

"Just why aren't there footprints?"

The top of the mountain is already in sight, and there is no place in the entire back mountain except this cave to hide those monsters that have turned into centipedes.

Those monsters can't go back in a circle in the back mountain.

"No, I didn't see any footprints all the way up, and there were no traces of weeds being trampled."

"Is there another space here?"

I immediately thought of the ghost, but I was going to go in and see it first.

Such a strange cave could not have appeared for no reason.

You know, this is the world of games.

The biggest difference between the game and reality is that there are no useless maps.

Turning on the flashlight on my phone, I walked towards the cave.

Without the sunlight outside, the cave was a little damp, leaving a shallow footprint on the ground with each step.

The whole cave was much longer than I expected, and I walked more than ten meters before finally coming to the end.

It was a space the size of a dormitory, and the walls around it were scratched by fingers. It's as if the whole space is scratched out little by little by a human finger.

The blackened dirt on the walls seemed to prove it.

But what really caught my eye was the end of the chain.

The rusty chain stretched to the center of the cave, where a groove had been dug out.

There is foul-smelling sewage in the grooves, and it is hard to imagine how deep the water is from the surface to the ground.

The chains are hanging from the edge of the groove and sinking into the sewage.

I picked up a small stone from the side and threw it into the water, and the sewage splashed and stenched.

"Not too deep."

After thinking about it, I didn't go down, but turned back and broke a branch outside the cave, and came to the groove again.

I crouched on the ground, like a child playing with mud, stirring in the sewage with a twig.

I could clearly feel the resistance from the branches, there was something in the sewage.

One glance at the iron chain, whatever is in the sewage is very likely to be connected to the iron chain.

Holding the iron chain with both hands, the rusty iron chain made an overwhelmed sound, and was slowly pulled out of the sewage.

And I finally saw what was in the sewage.

A corpse, to be precise, should be a corpse that has decomposed so much that only bones remain.

The corpse's waist was tightly chained, and even though it had turned into white bones, the chains still did not fall off.

You can imagine how tightly the chains were tied back then.

"The bones are not completely broken, and the bones should be a girl, not very old. Xiang Ning? ”

I thought of Xiang Ning for the first time, but unfortunately, when I tried to pull the white bone completely out of the groove again, the white bone that had lost its flesh broke directly from it.

"Whoa." In the sound of the water, the bones sank into the sewage again.

"This white bone is very important."

I thought of the girl who claimed to be Xiang Ning but didn't let the mission approve, if the girl didn't lie, then the reason why she wasn't recognized by the task must be something missing.

Most likely, it's the white bones of the girl I've found now.

I smiled wryly.

In the bone collection, there are often blistered bones, and when such bones are encountered, as a bone picker, you can only wear waterproof shoes and gloves to go down to the grave to pick up the body.

It's not a big deal, at most, the smell on the body is a little stronger, and it can't be eliminated for a few days.

I lit three sticks of incense on the edge of the groove, grabbed the edge of the groove, and carefully landed on the ground, and I made three strokes in the middle of the sewage before I put my hands into the sewage.

The bones were taken out one by one, and as the sewage shook, I suddenly noticed something carved into the cave wall.

"This is the word?"

There was no pump, no tools, so I had to use my own shoes as a scoop to scoop out the sewage bit by bit.

When the sewage had dropped to a certain level, I finally read the words on the wall of the cave.

It was cut out with a fingernail over and over again, and there were still broken nails left in the depressions.

'Why do you do this to me!' ’

A few simple words, but it makes my heart furious.

I could feel that there was resentment in every stroke of these words.

"If this word is left by the white bones, then the white bones should not be Xiang Ning, if there is such a big grievance, it is impossible for Xiang Ning to maintain his sanity."

"So there's another girl there, maybe it's her presence, that's what makes it weird here."

I searched in the sewage and pulled out a hairpin from a corner that was no longer colored. Other than that, there is nothing else.

Crawling out of the groove, I took a closer look at the bones.

This sight struck me with a nameless anger.

There were all kinds of wounds on the girl's bones, every inch.

This is not something that came later, but that the girl was subjected to inhuman abuse while she was alive.

Cracked bones, broken bones, and even marks from sharp objects.

"No wonder there's so much resentment."

I would love to bury the bones, but now that time is running out, I have to return to the classroom before the afternoon class.

After thinking about it, I gently put the white bones back into the sewage again: "Rest in peace, I will bury you tomorrow." ”

After a brief tidying up of the cave and putting the hairpin in my coat pocket, I took advantage of the last time to run around the top of the mountain and then descended back to the back of the sports equipment room.

I wrung out my clothes that were wet with sewage, walked around the equipment room again, but I didn't want to just walk out when I saw Xiang Kan standing on the edge of the playground looking at me.
