Absurd Deduction Game

The team was assembled. Because there was Old Huang, they did not talk about the opening of the dungeon tonight. Instead, like a tomb robber gang, they moved toward the "grave" in a low-key and cautious manner.

Of course, they did not particularly emphasize that they were tomb robbers. They just did not refute or confirm, and let Huang come up with a reasonable identity on his own.

The sun gradually sank, and the golden color passing through the shadows of the trees became lighter and lighter, and finally disappeared completely behind the mountains.

The soles of several people stepped on the weeds in the mountains, making a rustling sound.

Zhao Mou calculated the location of Suanyu County and drew a map, so they quietly approached the circled place on the map.

During this period, the role of Laohuang became apparent.

He is a local after all, and he probably hangs around the outskirts of Guolong Ridge a lot, introducing the dangers in the mountains to the team along the way.

For example, there is a forest ahead that is easy to get lost, or there is a swamp somewhere with floating poison barriers that need to be bypassed.

With the instructions on the map and Lao Huang's reminder, they took some detours and came to a small branch of the Yejiang River flowing into the valley.

  The sound of rushing water mixed with the chirping of birds and insects in the forest, full of natural atmosphere.

"This mountain is safer than I thought. I said, do we really need to use a guide?" Seeing the stream, Siren was obviously in a good mood. He moved his arms, leaned over and scooped up a ladle of water with his hands. It felt moist. It made her squint her eyes in comfort.

 Ah, I feel that the place wetted by water is soothed.

Zhao Yijiu blinked silently, slightly disapproving of this.

The Siren is quite safe, but along the way he has killed four snakes hanging on the trees for a sneak attack, crushed several poisonous insects to death with his shadow, and separated several passers-by with fierce auras and hungry beasts.

Although these are small things, they are enough to prove that it is difficult for ordinary people to survive in Guolongling.

Lao Huang was also anxious, fearing that the agreed deal would be reneged on, so he immediately said: "Oh my dear, that's because you haven't really gone up the mountain yet, this is the periphery!"

He pointed to the creek at his feet: "From here on, things will be different further in! There are so many weird legends that even non-locals can't avoid them!"

Yu Xing, who didn't know if he was in a daze or not, looked towards the stream.

This stream is clear in color, and several rocks that are obviously not naturally accumulated are arranged in the gentle part of the stream. Lao Huang did not say it was dangerous, only that it was a dividing line.

Yu Xing raised his lips with interest and stepped on the big rocks.

As soon as he stepped on it, he felt that the stones were deeply embedded in the mud and sand at the bottom of the stream, and his walking was very smooth. Yu Xing asked casually: "Is this built by residents in the mountains?"

 Zhao Mou followed, maintaining the persona of a boss who is not easy to mess with, and answered in a subtle tone: "Old Huang, it's really as mysterious as you said. Why are there still traces of human life here?"

 Actually, there are more than just these stones.

 As they walked along, sometimes they passed through difficult-to-walk forests, and sometimes there were paths trodden under their feet.

Lao Huang was silent for a moment, then whispered: "There are always some capable people who are willing to live in the mountains. There are several hunters in the forest, and there are also some unknown people who live in wooden houses scattered in the mountains. "

"But don't worry, they are just making a living in the mountains and will not affect your business."

"Oh?" Zhao Mou had already crossed the stream, and there was indeed a cold feeling coming up along with the wind. He saw Lao Huang shivering and his face turning blue, so he couldn't help but feel the surroundings carefully.

 …There is no malicious source, and there is no special ghostly atmosphere.

 It is currently unclear where the cold feeling comes from.

Yu Xing curled his lips. He was holding his mobile phone in his hand and watched the signal drop two bars.

There are signals, but not much.

 Like being affected by something.

 It’s amazing to say that this is really just a matter of crossing a small stream.

Zhao Yijiu and Siren could naturally feel the difference, but they didn't say anything. This was so unusual that it wasn't even an appetizer.

 They continued to move forward toward the direction where the sun was setting.

The sky is getting darker.

The shadows of the trees were whirling, and countless shadows began to occupy the line of sight, gradually shrouding Guolong Ridge in a layer of strange tones that could not be seen during the day.

Lao Huang's voice was unconsciously affected by the environment, revealing a faint point: "It's okay now, wait a little bit, and those strange things in the forest will come out." It happens frequently, but I can't find anything in the town." Zhao Mou walked steadily and was not constrained by the darkness. "Tell me about it?"

"This..." Lao Huang muttered, "These things are getting more and more talked about, but these are not ordinary people, so I won't hide them, so I will talk about them for you."

Yu Xing paid some attention to listen.

Lao Huang told several ghost stories. One of them said that a long time ago, probably during the Qing Dynasty, a group of bandits plundered a tribe in the mountains. The men were beheaded and the women were kidnapped to give birth to children. .

There was a young woman who had just given birth to a child and was determined to die. She actually found an opportunity to escape with her infant baby, and ended up running into a tall forest.

The woman ran around in a panic for a long time, and then she realized that the forest was very strange. She had never been there before.

Like these people in the mountain tribe, they know the environment around the tribe very clearly. How can there be any strange places?

Unfortunately, the woman couldn't get out no matter how hard she went. When it got dark, she saw the heads of the men in the village on every tree.

Those heads stared at her sadly, including her good husband of a year.

The woman was so frightened that she thought the baby in the swaddling clothes was a human head and threw it out. As a result, the child fell out of the swaddling clothes and hit the bump of a tree and died.

The woman later disappeared into the mysterious woods. Some outsiders passing by that area would hear the woman calling the child's name in agony.

If you really see a woman's figure in the woods, it means that "she" has set her sights on people, thinks they are bandits, and wants to kill them to avenge their children.

 After Lao Huang finished exaggerating the atmosphere of the story in a gloomy way, he saw that the faces of the team members did not change.

 And he kept asking.

Siren: "When you wait until dark and see the human head, it means that the woman ran away before dark? How did she escape?"

Zhao Mou: "This woman has such good eyesight, can she distinguish heads in the dark?"

Yu Xing: "Ah, why does the head of a man in the village appear in an unknown forest?"

Zhao Mou: "Not only that, but they also stared at the women sadly. They were not killed by women."

Zhao Yijiu: "The idea of ​​killing bandits to avenge children is too weird." A whole village was killed by bandits, and only the child was killed by a woman by mistake. In any case, the logic of a woman's killing is not reasonable enough.

 Lao Huang's eyelids twitched when everyone said something to me.

“It’s just a legend. The legend is definitely not that strict, but it’s true that you can easily meet that female ghost at night. Many people have seen it!”

“These ‘quite a few’ people are still alive to deliver this news, and the female ghost is not that powerful.” Yu Xing’s summary completely silenced Lao Huang.

 Lao Huang scratched his hair, holding it in until his face turned blue. He walked for a while...and then stopped suddenly.

"etc!"

Several people stopped and looked at him without knowing why.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at the woods in front of him again and again: "That's not right, that's not right. Why do I remember that it's not like this in front of me?"

 The next second, I heard unreal sobbing coming from the forest, faintly, blowing into several people's ears with the wind.

 “Hu Zi…I Di Hu Zi…”

 “Mom, I’m sorry for you!”

 Everyone: “…”

Yu Xing glanced at the phone again.

 Okay, now there is no signal at all.

As Lao Huang said in a panic, "Here comes my mother, I'm really talking about it." Several flashlights suddenly lit up and shined straight into the forest.

Zhao Mou shook his flashlight, and as expected, he saw that as soon as the light entered the woods, it was as if it had been swallowed up, and not a single bit was left.

 The woman's cry came from within. (End of chapter)
