The rain was pouring down.

There was no one in the secluded room, that is, the dark-haired young man was sitting on the edge of the bed with a stool, and on the bed lay a human woman who was breathing slowly.

The black-haired young man sitting on the edge of the bed didn't sit well, he leaned back on the back of the chair with his legs cocked, and the whole chair was half-suspended with the people sitting on it, only one chair leg was supported.

Looking swaying and very unstable, in fact, at the bottom of the chair, the other three support legs off the ground have white lines that are so fine that they are almost invisible to the naked eye to connect with the ground.

The dark-haired young man sitting on it was tilted with his head tilted, and a book barely covered his face with a button on his face.

As the seat swayed, listening to the white noise of the rain outside the window, he seemed to be dozing.

The other three humans all went out.

When it rains, they wear ponchos, and they don't have umbrellas because they move unchanging and are eye-catching.

Dinner was hastily settled in the evening...... Well, only the other three humans were sloppy, and Bai Su still ate the self-heating hot pot for four people, and said that he was not full.

An hour or two had passed since dinner.

Xia Chengyin's contact with the bureau was just in time to make a call before the signal in the village was interrupted, and as soon as he pressed the red button to interrupt the call, the signal bar in the upper right corner of the mobile phone turned into a cross in a second.

The inch-headed officer turned his head to look at the others, held up his mobile phone and gestured, and found that everyone was in the same situation.

Yesterday's signal didn't go away so early, and the difference between the two days is...... It's raining.

As soon as the humans turned their heads, the sky had completely turned a dark gray, and it was raining without clouds.

The point of cloudless rain will be put in one piece first, and the question of meteorology can be studied by a special person when you go back.

The sky in front of me was more terrifying than the dark, the gray sky looked a little closer to the ground, and suddenly I could see the sky tilting, and then the vision changed from trance to clear, and there was only damp moisture in front of me.

"Will there be no signal when it rains?" Xia Chengyin made such an inference.

There are too few bases for judgment to be considered this way for the time being.

If there is no signal, more news cannot be sent, but fortunately, more critical news has been asked.

The inch-headed police officer walked back, he waved his hand to Don Nuo, and the latter stood up clearly, and without much communication between the two sides, he naturally squeezed away the minor who was a little nervous at the bedside, and began to check the only medical supplies he had.

The young man who had been squeezed away sat back at the table, and he quietly asked Bai Su, "What did you say to Brother Tang?" ”

Bai Su, who was about to watch people dance and didn't see it in the end, was a little disappointed, he retracted his gaze and said, "I talked about Wen Tao's tablet." ”

The human boy sighed, "Hey, you said it, but aren't you still unsure?" ”

The tablet they looked at only had a name, no photo, and the date of birth had not yet been written, so what if it was just the same name?

"No, oh." The black-haired youth waved his hand, "It's the same person." ”

The human boy was so surprised that he let out a rattling sound, and Bai Su unhurriedly took out his mobile phone.

The phone lost signal and the network was disconnected, but other functions were still available.

I have to say that many modern human inventions are a good civilization, such as the camera function of mobile phones, as long as you press lightly, you can take pictures of clues.

What Bai Su showed to Gao Tianyi was the genealogy of Wenjia Village.

Gao Tianyi: "......"

Gao Tianyi: "No, Brother Bai, where did you shoot here?" ”

The young man pondered and meditated, and he remembered that Bai Su had been with him in the afternoon, and had never been anywhere else.

It can't be found in the morning, so why didn't you take it out at noon?

The black-haired youth lowered his head and swiped his fingertips twice on the screen of his phone.

He flipped through the long and redundant genealogical information, and only once appeared in the handwritten small characters, Wen Tao's name, judging from the date of birth, was the identity of Qi Zhuyue.

Faced with the human's question, Bai Su replied succinctly: "Below the offerings." ”

Because he had gone to steal the offerings, and after picking up a few pieces of fruit, he saw the booklet pressed and covered underneath.

The booklet with the blue linear cover looks a little old, and when you turn it over, the margins are rolled up and yellowed, and the texture is rough, and the paper has been flipped through many times, and the text is still written vertically.

Bai Su took a few pictures while eating at that time, and since the human being said that he was afraid of bringing back dirty things when he patted the tablet, he patted the family tree.

Gao Tianyi: "......"

Gao Tianyi: "No, I mean...... Ahhhh ”

The young man tossed his hair and threw himself on the table.

It's good to have clues, stop dwelling on how clues are obtained.

The wood is already in the boat, and there is no time machine to go back and let people hold down Bai Su's hand to steal the offerings.

And - the human teenagers don't know why they have a hunch that the goal they are seeking will be achieved in unexpected ways because of the presence of someone on their team.

Hexagram ...... How it is revealed.

After Bai Su showed his family tree, the direction of the human investigation turned again, and several people decided to use the night time together.

As a member of the special department, it doesn't hurt to go a day or two without sleeping, at most, your spirit will be a little sluggish, and in an emergency, there is no way to do it.

In the end, it was decided that the three of them who had slept last night would go out, and leave Bai Su, who had not rested well, to watch Qi Zhuyue, who had not woken up.

It is said that Bai Su, who has not rested well, yawned cooperatively.

"Her physical signs are normal, I don't know why I didn't wake up." Here's what humans say, "We...... Let's go down and take a look at the car, and the change in the sacrificial process you mentioned earlier is also interesting...... If you can't do it, take her out. ”

That's what humanity intended, and that's how it left.

Taking advantage of the darkness and rain of the night, the two large and one small went out wearing ponchos, leaving Bai Su to sit on the chair wobbly alone.

The black-haired young man with his eyes closed was still hanging there, and the outside world was covered by the sound of the rain, and the movement of something approaching was muffled.

It touched the door, it climbed up the wall, it pried up the window.

Just as it was about to swoop in through the crack in the window that was breathing, it leaped inward, and before it could fly far, it landed in the "net".

The net, where all the doors that can be opened and closed and where there are holes and crevices, is shrouded in a white web, and even if a bug flies in, it will only be caught, and there is no way to fly five centimeters away.

What's more, there are no insects and no other animals in this mountain.

The black-haired young man, whose face was covered by the book, chewed his mouth twice, and all the white webs in the room trembled.

After digesting the black sludge that had broken in, the net split into a white fork, pulled down against the edge of the window, and closed the window again.

The rain is still falling, and it tends to get heavier and heavier.

The monster's attention is not in the body, and chewing is only a subconscious action.

In an inconspicuous position in the village, the white silk that adhered to the bricks, the turf, and the cracks in the walls like a spider's web was woven little by little, gathered into a mass of flocculents, and then grew upwards like a flower, with an eyeball between the petals of the bloom.

The eyeballs probed the surrounding environment, and after finding something that they didn't care about, they fell into decay, hanging down and closing the "buds", waiting for the ontology to come again.

Bai Su looked at the past one after another, and finally stopped at a relatively high altitude.

He peered down from the rooftop, his crooked eyeballs snaking downward, twisting a proper angle to listen for the news below.

He was measured above the ancestral hall.

I have to say that this kind of traditional construction house is really suitable for hiding things, and who will look up all the time? Besides, it's not easy to climb to high places.

For example...... The eyeballs were slightly raised, and there was a box with a lot of dust on the beam in front of him, which was constantly exuding a strange aura.

Bai Su didn't move.

The box has a seal attached to it, which is unusual at first glance.

He looked down, the ancestral hall at night was different from the way the white sky was swinging, and now there were two people sitting inside, sitting facing each other, a little bored to the point of dozing off, but still holding on.

Just as he was thinking, one of the people below yawned, his voice was slightly loud, and he was quickly stopped by the other person.

"Shh......h Be quiet. ”

"No, there's no one else here but the two of us."

"Hey, this is an ancestral hall, be respectful."

"Alas...... Come on, I'm really sleepy. ”

The younger one called out to the older uncle, and it sounded like the two were relatively close by blood.

Young people are always less in awe of traditional things than older people, just as now, when young people are so sleepy that their eyelids are fighting, they are not as good as the older ones sitting up straight.

The exchange of words between them revealed that they were on the order of the village chief for the afternoon's affairs, and beware of other outsiders breaking in.

Chief? Then it means that one of the two people he and the human boy saw in the afternoon is likely to be the village chief.

"Ah...... But then again, is it really the same as what the village chief said? ”

"What?"

"That's it...... It's the intruder. The young man asked in a low voice, "The village chief was not very angry at first, and said that he would investigate thoroughly, and everyone received the news. ”

The commotion of the village at the beginning of the afternoon was because of this news, and before they could keep an eye on the outsiders in the village, the village chief changed his tune and issued a new notice.

The village chief said that it was that person who had come.

"That man...... Wen, what is Xuan, is it really him? ”

The young man whispered, and the older man pulled away and glanced at the former.

"I don't know." The elder replied, "We didn't come with us, and the village chief said whatever he wanted." "And...... Maybe people have been here.

A cursory look at the ancestral hall doesn't seem to have changed much except for the tablets and offerings, but the elders still learned from the village chief that someone turned over the genealogy that was pressed underneath.

In this village, there is only Wen Rongxuan who cares about genealogy.

Outsiders, you say? It's okay for outsiders to be interested in their village's genealogy.

The elder thought about it, so he revealed something to his juniors: "That kid Wen Rongxuan has broken through the ancestral hall before. ”

The young man was startled, he wrapped up the blanket he brought to protect himself from the cold, and sat closer to his elders: "Is there such a thing? ”

The elder glanced at him and said, "It's just this year, didn't he make some trouble at the beginning of the year?" ”

The young man said that he had heard a little, but that he was not in the village at that time, and went to a nearby town on an errand, and just missed the climax.

"At that time, when he was driven to the edge of the village, he must have been reluctant, and one day he touched the mountain on a rainy night—" said the elder, glancing out of the ancestral hall, "just like the rain today." ”

The young man shook and couldn't help but complain: "It's raining every day in our mountain, what's the difference......"

"No, no, no, it's the atmosphere." The elder waved his finger, "The rain is pouring down, the fog is thick, and the view is blocked, and by the time the villagers find out, he has already turned most of the ancestral hall upside down." ”

The tablets were turned upside down, not to mention the offerings on them, and the whole ground looked in disarray.

"And then?"

"And then there was no more, he was stopped and kicked out, and I heard that there was a fight."

The young man smashed his mouth, feeling that he had half-heard the story and was whetted by his appetite.

The elder saw that his junior still wanted to ask, and finally sighed and said: "If there is any change before and after that incident, it is that Wen Rongxuan's monitoring has become stricter, and it may be that everyone has been busy recently, so they have relaxed." ”

"And ......"

"What else?"

"The boy's face."

After breaking into the ancestral hall, Wen Rongxuan disappeared for a while at the edge of the village, and the people in the village thought that he was hiding to live, but who knew that when he reappeared, there was a large shadow on his face.

Everyone said that it was a bad omen, that Wen Rongxuan was cursed.

Then, the young man with the shadow of half a face looked at them, his lips twitching.

When the young man ate the melon, he finally fell into a light sleep with sleepiness, and his elders did not shake him awake, but adjusted a posture that would not fall on his face.

Then the elder folded his hands and bowed to the tablet and returned to his place and sat down.

The rainy night is still long, and every rainy night in their village is long.

Wenjia Village seems to have been accompanied by thick rain and fog since everyone was impressed.

It doesn't rain much during the day, and most of the rain falls at night when everyone is asleep.

Speaking of which...... His face was a little itchy.

As the hours approached midnight, the awake older man scratched his face in the growing itching of his face.

Again, and again.

The force is so great that it seems to cut through the skin of the face and scratch one scratch after another.

The eyeball dangling from the beam observed no signs of human pain, so it changed direction.

Climbing from one end of the beam to the other, and approaching the small box hidden above, he saw the face of the older man.

His face was indeed not bled out, but showed several pieces of fish scales, sticky shards of fish scales stuck to his fingers, accompanied by repeated movements, and from time to time he was thrown to the ground in a few pieces.

Bai Su was thinking about whether to go down there to see the situation.

Suddenly, he manipulated his eyeballs and retracted, leaving only a small section out of the beam.

On the steps outside the ancestral hall, there are black shadows surging.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall.

The sound of clattering footsteps passed, and the drenched appearance of the young man he had seen during the day appeared there.

His eyes swept over the two people in the ancestral hall, and he said in a sarcastic tone, "It's really sad. ”

"I can't even maintain my own consciousness."
