Mirror of Permanence

Chapter 5 What's the sound, I'm going to see it!
When Lu Ye passed by a house with lights, he vaguely heard coughing inside, which reminded Lu Ye of the village chief Li Si, who also always coughed.

Seemingly aware of Lu Ye's footsteps, the sound in the house stopped suddenly, and Lu Ye could even feel the suffocating fear of the other party.

So Lu also lowered his footsteps and left here quickly.

Most of the time, it is a very bad behavior to bring fear to other people.

Many things are unclear now, so there is no need to bother others now.

Soon Lu came to the gate of the Niquan Temple at the entrance of the village.

With a "creak", Lu Ye pushed open the gate of Niquan Temple, and said without any disguise: "Hello, I'm looking for Pai Daxing!"

Only the echo in the temple gave Lu Ye a response.

"No one, is anyone going to catch jellyfish?" After confirming it as if talking to himself, Lu Ye shouted again, but still no one responded.

So Lu Ye walked towards the inside of the Niquan Temple while humming a song.

The flashlight in his hand quickly swept, searching the interior of the temple, and walked through the front yard with many fallen leaves. Lu did not have the slightest awareness of stepping into a dangerous area. He looked left and right, as if he wanted to see the place. Flowers come.

Pushing open the door of the inner hall, the creaking sound was extremely loud in the silent night, and with the light of the flashlight, the dark room was peeled off before Lu Ye's eyes little by little.

The first thing that catches the eye is a few large pillars painted with red paint, followed by the statue of the water god sitting on the opposite altar. The statue is carved from stone and has a dragon head. Under the light of the flashlight, it looks a bit eerie .

Then there are some reliefs on the surrounding walls. The content of the reliefs is probably that on the night of the full moon, a god with a dragon head and a human body came out of the water and gave gifts to the witnesses at that time.

Lu Ye looked at the relief with great interest, and reached out to touch the dragon head of the water god in the relief, but found nothing special.

Through the side path, you will come to the backyard. There is a "mouth"-shaped corridor in the backyard. Along the corridor, you will open the rooms next to you and search them in. However, there is nothing special about these rooms. It is a utility room, and these rooms all have traces of being searched.

It wasn't until the last house was opened that Lu Ye gained a little.

This should be the room where Miao Zhu sleeps. There are a lot of daily necessities in it. In the somewhat messy room, Lu Ye's eyes followed the flashlight, and there were still obvious signs of searching.

Lu Ye searched for them bit by bit, most of them were common things, Lu Ye, who thought there was still nothing to gain, suddenly stopped at a place on the bed with the flashlight he scanned.

A small wooden box was pressed at the foot of the bed. The small box was almost the same color as the foot of the bed, and it might even be a part of the foot of the bed. Miss this thing.

Pulled out the small wooden box from the foot of the bed, opened it gently, and found some hair inside, tied with a small red string, and inside was a triangle made of yellow paper, and a name could be seen when it was opened.

——Liu Yu.

Lu also thought about it and put it in his pocket.

Pushing open the back door of the backyard, the path paved with small stones extends to the cliff not far away, and the mountain spring water rushes down into the pool.

Lu also raised his head to look at the sky, and the night sky was covered by thick dark clouds.

The water in the pool was extremely clear, and even the not-so-bright light of the flashlight allowed Lu Ye to see the bottom of the water.

There are no aquatic plants, only fine sand and some fallen leaves.

Just as Lu Ye was wondering if he should go down to have a look, a voice came from afar.

- Puff.

"What's the sound? Go and have a look!" Lu Ye said to himself, grabbing the flashlight, squinting his eyes without any strange light flashing, followed the sound to the courtyard behind the Niquan Temple.

From the stove, some kitchen utensils, and rotten ingredients, it can be judged that this is a kitchen.

And the place where the sound came from was the water tank in the middle of this courtyard.

The light of the flashlight shone on the water tank, and in the clear water, Lu also saw a fruit of an unknown tree.

"It should have been blown from the tree and fell into the water tank by the wind, so I was suspicious." Lu Ye looked at himself reflected in the water tank, and continued without consciously saying, "But it's usually said like this. No one can survive an episode..."

Before Lu Ye could finish speaking, he heard a buzzing sound, and the water in the tank suddenly became cloudy. Before he could react, the water in it gushed out. Wrap Lu Ye's head and pull it into the water tank.

The pulling force was very strong, and Lu Ye struggled a few times, unable to resist, and with a plop, he was pulled into the water tank.

After shaking a few times, the water inside returned to calm. The muddy water slowly faded and became clear again, but Lu Ye was no longer inside.

Next to the water tank, a wooden box fell there.

……

The light penetrated the mist and shone into the small mountain village. The doors and windows of the teahouse were opened one by one. Several investigators looked a little serious. After eating the food and water they brought, no one talked about the disappearance last night. Lu Ye greeted him, then took down a piece of curtain to cover the sunlight, and followed the fluorescent light reflected by Lumino to search for the back mountain.

Zhang Chengxu looked around vigilantly. After entering the back mountain, he always felt that someone was watching him. The disappearance of the newcomer Y last night was also inexplicable. Maybe there was some hidden danger, or maybe it was the small thoughts of these investigators.

He secretly glanced at Zhai Di, who called himself a deer, and had various thoughts in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Their team of investigators was not familiar with each other. If they didn't have a common investigation mission, it would be impossible to expect them to get together, let alone cooperate sincerely.

"Anyway, the investigation progress is shared by the team." Zhang Chengxu couldn't help but flash this thought in his mind. It is said that in some investigation teams, they will use various methods to deceive and control newcomers to obtain information in a suicidal manner. Fast speed pushes the investigation progress to 70% and then returns.

Under the premise of sharing the progress of the investigation, there is no need to say more about sacrificing oneself or sacrificing others.

Zhang Chengxu can be sure that, including himself, when they encounter danger, their choice will be to run for their lives and push others to the top.

To complete the investigation mission, there is one resource that must not be wasted, and that is teammates.

This was his sixth investigation mission. In every previous mission, he had to step on the fallen corpses of his teammates before he could escape.

"found it!"

Chu Bai's voice made Zhang Chengxu draw his attention back and put it on a small soil bag.

"dig!"
