Chapter 2: Survivor's Notes
In the dense forest of the mist-filled deserted village, Zhou Fan was sweating profusely and leaning against a dead tree to breathe.
He spent the whole night running in the dense forest.
But it's like a ghost hitting a wall, always going around in a circle in the dense forest and it's hard to escape.
"Looks like I'm stuck here!"
Although Zhou Fan, who scolded secretly, was very reluctant to admit it, he had to accept this reality.
He glanced up at the already bright sky, turned his head to look at the dense fog that had not yet cleared in the dense forest, and finally decided to return to the deserted village.
The bell had to be tied to the bell, and he had tried countless ways all night, but he had not been able to escape from the dense forest.
It seemed to be completely cut off from the outside world, and if he didn't figure it out, he would be trapped here for the rest of his life.
According to Zhou Fan's thoughts, he felt that those things hidden in the darkness during the blue sky should not dare to come out. ”
After comforting himself, he walked out of the dense forest and came to the entrance of the deserted village.
As far as the eye can see, the houses have collapsed and are almost in ruins, and there are ruins everywhere.
Along the way, he passed by many deserted and dilapidated houses, and found that they were full of daily necessities and furniture, and did not look like moving away.
He didn't find any bodies, and he didn't see any traces of the fight.
It was as if the villagers had suddenly disappeared, leaving no clue.
Zhou Fan was full of doubts and wandered around the village, and when he passed by a boxy ancient well, he always felt his brows jump, and his pupils trembled, as if he was warning him.
Surprised, he didn't dare to approach the ancient well easily, but bypassed the ancient well far away and rushed to the ancestral hall in the distance.
When he came to the ancestral hall, he found a man's body lying outside the door.
The man was covered in blood and covered in claw marks, as if he had been attacked and scratched by some kind of beast.
Zhou Fanhu looked around suspiciously, but did not find any potential danger.
He cautiously stepped forward to examine the man's body, and found that the other party was covered in stiff flesh, claw marks, deep bones, and a heart that had been gouged out.
Looking at the tragic situation of the man's unnatural death, Zhou Fan couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.
He suspected that the middle-aged man who had died was probably one of the two people who had passed by last night's conversation.
They are obviously not ordinary people, but they still die a tragic death here.
This made Zhou Fan, who originally planned to go to the ancestral hall to investigate, immediately dispelled the idea of entering.
There was no time to hesitate, he hurriedly rummaged through the man's body.
Eventually, he found a yellowed talisman, as well as a small object that looked like a compass and a letter.
"Amitabha! May you die in bliss! ”
With short hands, Zhou Fan bowed to the corpse.
He was then dragged to a corner not far away, where he buried his body with weeds, and then headed towards the old house in the deserted village to the west.
The old house in the deserted village is the only house that has not been destroyed except for the ancestral hall.
He plans to search the old mansion to find out the cause of each inexplicable coma.
Zhou Fan was cautious along the way, but he did not encounter any danger when he returned to the old mansion.
This time he stepped into the old mansion with precautions, and he became more cautious.
As the door creaked open, he began to search the room.
The house was not large, and he searched carefully and found nothing suspicious.
When he found under the bed, he vaguely smelled a faint fragrance.
Zhou Fan was startled, and hurriedly held his breath, and along the scent, he found a pot of palm-sized blue flowers under the innermost bed.
As soon as you get close to the small blue flowers, you can smell the pungent and rich fragrance.
And as soon as he smelled the scent, he felt a little dizzy and drowsy.
"It's you little thing!"
Finding the culprit, Zhou Fan couldn't help but smile.
He held his breath as he pulled the little blue flower out from under the bed and finally covered it under the covers.
Immediately after, he quietly opened the doors and windows to ventilate.
After a while, I felt the feeling of drowsiness gradually dissipate.
Zhou Fan finally had time to study the yellowing talisman he had obtained from the man's corpse.
The talisman looks like a ghost drawing, and it belongs to the type that is completely incomprehensible.
There is a small cluster of text on the back that reads the corpse amulet, and the use of the talisman can be understood.
In the past, Zhou Fan, an atheist, did not believe in ghosts and gods.
But after personally experiencing all kinds of strange events that are outrageous in the past few days.
His instincts told him that this talisman might save his life at a critical moment.
He studied the corpse talisman for a moment before taking out the small compass.
The hand of the compass was slowly turning, and finally the pointer stopped pointing under the bed.
Zhou Fan was startled and hurriedly leaned under the bed to check, but fortunately he didn't see anything hiding under the bed.
He shook the compass a few times suspiciously, and found that the compass pointer was still under the pointer bed.
Zhou Fan, who was full of suspicion, didn't know what the compass was for, but since the man carried it with him, it proved that the compass was not useless.
He was a little unsure, and he didn't go under the bed to search carefully, but took out the envelope found from the man's body and looked at it.
The organization sent me and Leng Jian to find the missing Ye Lin team, and we came to the barren mountain according to the clues.
There was an eternal forbidden place here, and we couldn't leave it for a while.
I thought it was just a low-level forbidden place, but after stepping into the deserted village, the warning compass turned wildly.
There is a big murderer here, and if you want to leave here, you need to kill the source murderous thing.
Don't wander around the village, the old mansion and ancestral hall are a safe place for the time being.
......
The handwriting on the envelope was extremely sloppy, but it allowed Zhou Fan to get a lot of useful information.
The first thing that is clear is that they have their own organization.
And her cousin Ye Lin is in the organization, and the two came here to find her.
What is the name of this Eternal Forbidden Land, it is not an auspicious place when you hear it, and it seems to be extremely dangerous.
Secondly, it seems that if you want to get out of here, you need to kill something.
After summarizing some important news, Zhou Fan felt a little sore in his head.
What does he, an ordinary person, use to kill murderous things? This is simply a fantasy for him.
And the only thing that made him feel at ease was that the ancestral hall and the old mansion were temporary safe places.
As for why it's called temporary, he doesn't understand it now.
"Damn! What exactly does my cousin want to do? ”
"Let me come here to give away someone's head?"
Zhou Fan couldn't help but scold, puzzled why his cousin, who had always hurt him, suddenly tricked him into coming to such a dangerous place this time.
After a few words of complaining, he finally crawled under the bed and looked for it.
After some searching, he found that the masonry under the bed could be moved.
At this moment, it was already approaching evening outside, and he didn't have time to hesitate to quickly push the masonry away.
Soon, a dark hole half a meter long and wide was revealed.
He found that under the floor tiles was a confined space similar to a cellar.
Zhou Fan climbed down the wooden ladder to the cellar and found that there were many daily necessities placed around.
One of the old wooden tables instantly caught his attention.
He stepped forward to find a patchwork of yellow paper on the wooden table, as well as a brand new diary.
There were some crooked tadpole texts written on the yellow paper, and he didn't understand a word.
Eventually, he picked up the brand new journal and looked at it.
My name is Liu Shan, and I am the only survivor in Liujia Village.
If you're lucky enough to see the notes I left behind, then congratulations, you could be imprisoned here forever and eventually die.
“......”
Zhou Fan looked at the opening chapter, and almost didn't greet the eighteenth generation of Liu Shan's ancestors.
This is simply burying people!
Do you want to be so gloating?
Zhou Fan, who secretly scolded and complained about two sentences, continued to turn the second page and checked.
Today is the 15th day of the 7th lunar month, which is the traditional Halloween Festival.
According to the customs of the village, children are not allowed to go out, and people in the village are not allowed to leave the village without permission, and it is taboo to enter the mountains.
The old village chief violated the rules left by his ancestors, and somehow forced himself to enter the mountain early in the morning.
It wasn't until late at night that he quietly returned to the village carrying a black cloth bag and was accidentally bumped into by me.
On July 16, I took advantage of the old village chief's absence to sneak into his house and found a large coffin.
Inside the coffin was a lifelike and beautiful woman dressed in red.
The woman was holding a little girl who looked like a porcelain doll at the age of three or four years old.
At first, I thought the old village chief was Jinya Zangjiao, but after examining their snorts, I was shocked to find that they were corpses.
I was frightened and fled home in terror, not daring to spread the news that the old village chief was hiding his body.
The old village chief secretly returned to the village that night, and I noticed that he carried the coffin out of the village overnight, not knowing where he was going.
I thought that this was the end of the matter, even if the old village chief had a special fetish, it had nothing to do with me.
But then many strange events happened, and I became more and more panicked.
