The bus carried a class of people and arrived near the destination half a day later.

Song Xuan's school is in City A, and the destination of their trip is an abandoned village around City A.

The small village is located between several large mountains, and the road to it is so winding and rugged that the driver has to stop the bus on the side of a small road and say, "You can't get in any further." ”

Jiang Jin had already opened his eyes when the car drove into the mountain road, and when he heard the words, he said, "It's okay, let's just walk the rest of the way." ”

The driver nodded, and after agreeing with Jiang Jin to pick them up, he turned around and left in an empty car.

This is not uncommon for a class of students to go on a field trip once a month, and the vast majority of the field trips are in the backwoods, and it is not once or twice that the car cannot be driven.

But this time the road seems to be particularly difficult.

Everyone followed Jiang Yao up the mountain path, and after an hour, the students, who were still in high spirits at the beginning, began to breathe and shout that they were tired.

Jiang Yao, who led the way at the front, kept paying attention to the situation behind, and when he found that almost everyone was sweating profusely and exhausted, only Song Xuan, who was walking at the end, did not blush or panting, and there was not even a drop of sweat on his forehead.

Jiang Jin knew that this was the benefit that the body of the ghost spirit had brought to Song Xuan.

Even if the vein is sealed, talent is talent, and no matter how much you erase the traces, it still exists and will not disappear.

Someone asked at the top of his voice: "Brother Jiang!" How far is it to get to wow! We're all dying! ”

"It's coming, it's coming." Jiang Jian turned around and smiled at everyone, his young and handsome eyebrows and eyes were warm and good-looking.

"Then Brother Jiang will tell us about the situation of the inspection site?" Another student wiped the sweat from his face, "This way the time flies, we won't be so tired!" ”

"I should have waited until I got to my destination, and then I told you about it." Jiang Jin sighed helplessly, "But for everyone's sake—"

"Brother Jiang is wise!"

"Brother Jiang, you are the best!"

"As soon as Brother Jiang opened his mouth, I was full of energy again!"

Song Xuan, who walked at the end of the line, was still wearing a Bluetooth headset, and there was no sound in the headset, so he could hear the movement in front of him clearly.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the young man who was surrounded by everyone talking and laughing, and sneered in his heart, saying that he was pretending to be really good.

At this moment, the young man in front seemed to notice his gaze, and his warm black eyes looked at him from a distance, and then he raised an index finger against his rosy lips and silently 'shhh

The students who surrounded Jiang Jian thought that this was to make them quiet, but only Song Xuan knew that the person was reminding him to continue to keep the 'little secret' between them.

The mountain road is still rugged, but the next part of the journey, accompanied by the gentle and clear voice of the young man, seems to really make everyone feel that the road is not so difficult to walk.

Jiang Jin explained to them the situation of the abandoned village.

The village has been abandoned for decades, and it is said that a hundred years ago, although the village was in the middle of nowhere, many villagers still lived, and although they were a little poor, they were free and happy.

The accident happened in the cold winter of that year, and the entire village, a total of 73 people, died violently overnight.

No one knew what had happened to the village, and because the village was surrounded by mountain roads, the cold winter snow and ice made the mountain roads difficult to navigate, and it was not until the following spring that outsiders noticed what had happened to the village.

Some people say that the winter was too cold that year, and the villagers all froze to death; Some people also guess that the fierce beasts in the mountains can't find food in winter, so they go down the mountain and attack the villagers; It is also said that the villagers were entangled by evil spirits and became the rations of evil spirits.

But who can really find the answer to what happened a hundred years ago?

A student raised his hand and asked, "So Brother Jiang, is our mission this time to solve the mystery of the death of the villagers a hundred years ago?" ”

"Yes and no." Jiang Jin said, "It is too difficult to find the truth of the unsolved case a hundred years ago, so this assessment is a bonus point system, as long as you find relevant clues in the village, you can get extra points." The more important the clue, the more points are added, and the final score is ranked according to the extra points. ”

Jiang Yao shook his finger and said mysteriously: "Don't let go of any corner, including around the village, or even the road we are walking underfoot, there may be clues hidden." ”

Hearing this, everyone looked down at the soles of their feet, but only Song Xuan at the back still didn't move, as if they hadn't heard it.

Jiang Yu winked at him, the eyes behind the lenses were slightly curved, and the curvature was soft and good-looking, but Song Xuan looked away after just one glance, and another pair of peach blossom eyes at the tail of the eyes could not help but appear in his mind.

Song Xuan tugged at the corners of his mouth, a slap appeared in his mind, and he slapped the pair of hooking peach blossom eyes to the side, forcing himself to divert his attention.

In a village that hides an unsolved case from a hundred years ago, the Metaphysical Association will naturally not be open to ordinary people from the outside world in such a big way.

The small village located in the mountains is already hidden, and in order to protect the safety of ordinary people, the association has set up a barrier outside the village to block the fog, and those who do not have the association's special pass will only lose their way in the fog, and finally return to the main road outside the mountain in a daze.

After reading the road under their feet, the students of the first class pulled Jiang Yu and asked questions, trying to get more clues from his mouth.

"Brother Jiang, since you sent us to the village for a field investigation, does it mean that the unsolved case a hundred years ago is indeed related to evil?"

"With such a big matter, the association shouldn't be at ease to hand it over to us, right? I guess the guild must have solved the case, it's just a trial. ”

"Brother Jiang, can you tell us a little more about the situation in the village?"

Jiang Jin was pestered by many people to ask, but he always smiled and shook his head and said, "No, I have told you everything I can reveal, and the rest can only depend on you." ”

Song Xuan's school is called Chuyang No. 1 University, the word "Chu" is homophonic to "except", "Yang" is homophonic to "Yang", and "Chuyang" means to remove Yang Ming, which is a metaphysical university established by the association, and the students who can be admitted to this school are the pride of the new generation of the metaphysical circle.

Except, of course, Song Xuan.

As we all know, Song Xuan rubbed the light of the Song family and entered Chuyang University through the back door.

The association wanted to test the abilities of this group of students, but it didn't really kill them.

Nearly 100 years ago, not long after the accident in the village, the association had already ascertained the true situation. It was a powerful evil spirit that attacked the village, maybe the people in the village angered the evil spirit, or maybe the evil spirit needed the living soul to do something, so he did it against the people of the village.

At that time, the association tried its best, and even sent many masters to the ghost world, but they still couldn't find the evil spirit who did it.

It was as if the evil spirit who had committed a heinous sin had evaporated from the world.

But Jiang Jin knew that the evil spirits could escape the search of the association because of the protection of the Song family. The Song family needs the help of the evil spirits, and when the evil spirits fulfill the wishes of the Song family, the Song family provides a secluded place to help the evil spirits escape the association's tracking.

This small village in the mountains that was wiped out was a branch of the Jiang family a hundred years ago.

And the Song family, if they want to destroy the Jiang family, they will not let anyone go.

Thinking of this, Jiang Yao lowered his eyes lightly, and the reflective lenses concealed the coldness that flashed in his eyes.

233 didn't understand: [When the association proposed to make this a place for investigation, why didn't the Song family object? Aren't they afraid of being found for clues? 】

[If you can find a clue, the association will turn it out a hundred years ago. Jiang Jia said, "The Song family is not afraid, because they are sure that there will be no waves here. If they come out against it, it will arouse suspicion. 】

233 suddenly realized, but still did not give up: [There must be something left here that they didn't find, right?] Otherwise, you won't be able to go to great lengths as the host, and you must personally lead the mission objective here. 】

Jiang Jin chuckled lightly and did not deny it: [There is. 】

233 put his heart at ease, waved his illusory fleshy little fist at Jiang Yao, and said in a milky voice: [Come on, host! ] 】

Jiang Jian raised his hand and touched his chest, when he mentioned the Song family and the Jiang family, the emotions there were hot and strong, obviously the feelings left by the original owner.

It is the fiery love for the Jiang family, and the strong hatred for the Song family, as well as the full of unwillingness and resentment.

Jiang Jia can understand such emotions, the original owner killed the evil spirit that washed the Jiang family in blood, but he didn't have time to take action against the Song family hiding behind the scenes. The revenge will dissipate before it is avenged, and no matter who it is, it will be unwilling.

But now that he is here, Jiang Yao whispered in his heart that he will replace him and let the Song family get the retribution they deserve.

The wisp of unwillingness stirred in the chest, and it fell silent for a long time.

*

Half an hour later, the group finally arrived at their destination.

The small village in the mountains is located at the foot of the mountain, and the association has built a hut near the foot of the mountain to serve as accommodation for the students on this expedition.

There were a total of seven five-person rooms and one single room in the hut, the single room was obviously for the group leader's 'Jiang Tang', and the seven five-person rooms were the dormitories for the students.

There were 36 people in a class, but there were only 35 beds.

Jiang Jin pushed his glasses, a little puzzled: "How can there be one less bed?" Did the association miscount the number of people? ”

"Brother Jiang, you didn't make a mistake." Someone replied loudly, "It's Song Xuan, he took a long vacation before, and there was no him when the inspection list was handed in." ”

The people around him chimed in: "That's it, he plugged in/came in halfway, so there is no bed for him." ”

Song Xuan, who was named, was still standing outside the crowd, his eyes were silent, as if he hadn't heard anyone calling his name at all, nor did he notice the sights that fell on him.

- Sympathy, pity, schadenfreude, but no one alone stepped forward to help.

The figure of the teenager who is independent of the crowd looks cold and lonely.
