Tranquil mountain village 15
"The clues are still very messy." Xu Yi shook his head again and again, thinking too much, he had a little headache.
"Let's go back first." Yug looked around and saw that there was no one around, and the strange vines that were wrapped around the big tree rattled in the wind.
"I think we're here, why don't we investigate? This tree is so important to the village, maybe there are any clues? Xu Yi proposed.
"I agree." Xi Yue nodded: "I care a lot about the words of the village chief, the children who have gained the trust of the Divine Tree. ”
Xi Yue's voice trembled a little, combined with the fact that there were no underage children in this village, Xu Yi knew that she must have thought of a cruel result.
"Then let's get together and search." Yug looked around timidly.
"That's for sure, if the two of us enter the illusion, Xi Yue can wake us up." Xu Yi walked to the tree on crutches first.
The road surface here is also dirt, but the road surface is very smooth.
When I walked under the tree, I could feel the height of the tree even more, and when I looked up, there was a heavy sense of oppression.
They looked at the tree, but found no useful clues, so they went around behind the tree together.
"What's there?" Yug said, pointing to the trunk of the tree.
At the bottom of the trunk there was a half-human-sized black spot, and the vine did not climb on the black spot, so the black patch in the green stood out.
But when I looked closely, I realized that it was not a black spot, but a hole, and the inside of the hole was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.
"What's in it?" Yug looked at the hole in front of him, and the darkness always brought a sense of fear of the unknown.
"Take a look." Xu Yi squatted down with difficulty, turned on the lighting mode of his mobile phone, and shone into the cave, but the hole was too small, and he could only see the small area directly opposite the cave entrance, which was full of hand-wielding vines.
"Looks like we need to lean in and see." Xu Yi said helplessly: "Otherwise, the scope of what you can see is limited." ”
"That's too dangerous." Yug said in embarrassment, after all, it would be very unwise to poke your head into a completely unknown hole anywhere, especially in a world full of terror.
But danger and opportunity coexist, and you can't find clues for fear of encountering danger.
"I'll do it." Xi Yue volunteered, but Xu Yi refused her.
Xi Yue always volunteered to rush to the front in the face of danger, and he didn't want her to develop this habit.
"Hold me in the back, and if you find something wrong, pull me out immediately." Xu Yi explained while slowly poking his upper body into the hole. He felt that Yuge and Xi Yue were both clutching the corners of his clothes, looking very nervous.
This hole is very empty, Xu Yi first shone it up, and found that the hole was very high, and the end of the mobile phone light could not see the top. The inner width of the tree hole is not much smaller than the outer width of the tree, and it is simply a hollow tree.
The inside of the tree, like the outside, was covered with vines, and the leaves hung everywhere.
The bottom of the cave is deep, about two people high from the entrance, and the bottom of the cave is also covered with green vines.
But Xu Yi saw that among the vines, there were many skeletons mixed with them, which were human bones!
The bones were all short in length, and they clearly belonged to children.
The children who disappeared in the village are all here, although they are NPCs in the horror world, not necessarily real people, but Xu Yi's mood is still very heavy.
"Is there anything in the cave?" Xi Yue's voice sounded outside the cave.
"The whole tree is empty, and the bottom of the cave is full of bones.........," Xu Yi said, feeling Xi Yue's hands tremble visibly.
There was a rustling sound in the cave, presumably from the floating friction of vine leaves.
Wrong! There's no wind in the cave at all! I didn't see the vines moving just now, so where did this sound come from? Xu Yi felt a cold sweat break out on his body.
At this moment, the light of his phone swept over a corner at the bottom, and he could see what was hidden under the vines.
Under that vine, there were several human faces, with strange smiles on their faces, and there were no pupils or whites in their eyes, only pitch black.
"Ahh Xu Yi screamed in shock, and as his scream sounded, he was quickly pulled away from the entrance of the cave, and after the back of his head hit the hole in the hole, the whole person left the tree hole and fell backwards on Yuge.
Xu Yi: ........ The back of the head injury can still be healed.
"What's wrong? What do you see? Xi Yue asked nervously while helping Xu Yi to stand up.
"There's a lot of grimaces hidden under the hole!" Xu Yi tried his best to ignore the dull pain in his head and said.
Yuge's face was a little pale, he got up from the ground and helped Xi Yue to support Xu Yi.
"Then let's get out of here." He looked at the hole in the tree with fear, for fear that something would come out of it.
But Xu Yi has calmed down.
Just now, he was startled at first sight, and he overreacted, but now that he remembered the state of the grimace, he already knew what those were.
It's human skin! Although it was a little different from the human skin face he saw before entering the village, it was not complete, and it was all a little damaged. But it's still pretty much the same thing.
He told Xi Yue and Yuge everything he saw and guessed in the tree hole, and the two frowned.
"Is this Murakami some kind of cult?" Yug said: "Do you specialize in picking human skins, and use children to sacrifice trees?" ”
"Something is wrong." Xu Yi closed his eyes, carefully recalled the scene just now, and suddenly opened his eyes abruptly and said, "The human skins I saw just now all have the same faces!" ”
"Are you sure? Could it be wrong? Xi Yue was surprised, after all, people only have one skin, and it is impossible for several skins to belong to the same person.
"No, I'm sure." Xu Yi firmly said that his ability to distinguish is extremely strong, and he is very confident in his ability.
"Or could it be a multiple?" Yug guessed.
"There are at least four identical faces down here, quadruplets are, but the probability of appearing in this village is too small." Xu Yi disagreed.
Xu Yi felt that the more clues he found now, the more chaotic his mind became.
"What are you doing here?" A voice suddenly rang out from their side.
It was Tang Ning, who looked at the three of them with a smile.
"I'm looking for you everywhere, I'm going to go to the village chief's house for lunch!" The smile on Tangning's face made the three of them feel uncomfortable.
"I'm a little unwell and don't want to go to lunch." Xu Yi said tentatively.
"No way!" Tang Ning directly denied Xu Yi: "I'll take you there, go right now." ”
The three of them glanced at each other, and had to slowly follow Tang Ning in the direction of the village chief's house.
The cart was pushed away by someone for nowhere, Xu Yi could only walk with difficulty on crutches, his palms were full of blisters, and when he was about to lose his breath, he finally arrived at the village chief's house.
I saw that the other five people were already seated at the table.
The table was filled with foul-smelling green dishes.
This time, in addition to He Zhengping eating and drinking, there is one more person who eats - Dong Mu!
