Chapter 17 17. Speculations about gods and ghosts [Please read]

boom!

boom!

Several consecutive gunshots echoed above the lake. Zheng Yun suddenly woke up. He looked up at Hu Ruihua and found that he was shooting behind the pile of corpses.

"What's wrong?"

Zheng Yun asked loudly, stood up and protected Song Wan behind him, and immediately raised his gun and pointed it in the direction of the pile of corpses.

"Someone!"

Hu Ruihua roared and pointed his flashlight at the entrance of a mine tunnel behind the pile of corpses. Sure enough, there was a black shadow there, flashing past and diving into the depths of the mine tunnel.

"..."

Zheng Yun's eyelids twitched.

This ghost place is getting more and more unbelievable, but they can't even leave now. Liu Ming and several people are missing, and they must find them back.

"Brother Zheng, Huzi and the others shouldn't be here." Hu Ruihua returned to Zheng Yun. After firing a few shots, his expression relaxed a little.

"What do you say?" Zheng Yun asked.

"Hu Zi has been in the army, and his marksmanship and attacks are more ruthless than mine. As long as the other party is afraid of guns, Hu Zi will not be able to stay here." Hu Ruihua had something to say.

Zheng Yun could understand what he meant.

The crux of the problem lies with Demona. This woman disappeared three times and returned three times. Her behavior was so strange that it was beyond the understanding of ordinary people.

Hu Zi will not be subdued by someone who is afraid of guns, so the other party can only be not afraid of guns.

What's not afraid of guns?

Hu Ruihua couldn't imagine it for the time being, but he was sure that these dark figures in the waste mine were afraid of guns.

It was obvious that he was thinking in the direction of gods and ghosts again, but his guess this time was not unreasonable.

"Go back first."

Zheng Yun retreated to the mine entrance.

The three people returned along the gap. Hu Ruihua shouted loudly on each floor and fired at the same time to make noise, but there was no response from the beginning to the end.

The gunshots in the mine can be heard very far. Zheng Yun was once in the first-floor mine building and clearly heard the gunshots on the third floor, with almost no loss in volume.

As long as they're here.

You can definitely hear it.

Each of them carries a gun and can respond by firing at any time, and can also pass the news here.

Since there is no response, it can only prove that Huzi and the others are not here or have been killed.

To be conservative, Zheng Yun and the others waited at the door for a while after returning to the abandoned mine building. If there was a response, they would hear some movement.

"Brother Zheng, do you have anything to say about Demona?" Hu Ruihua squatted at the door and asked. What he asked was definitely not a conventional statement, but something else.

Zheng Yun recalled a little bit.

In fact, there are so many examples like this, it just depends on whether you believe it or not.

During the ancient exploration of the Sea of ​​Mist and alien planets, many people died mysteriously every year, with all kinds of symptoms and weird ways of death.

There are all kinds of mysterious legends in the West.

In the process of groping and trying, Dongfang gradually summarized some laws and solutions of gods and gods, which were recorded in medical books as strange and miscellaneous diseases.

These things are all related to gods and ghosts. They are often caused by fairies, ghosts and monsters that harm people, or they may be some secret method of immortality or a guide to immortality.

Once it is linked to these words, it will cause countless disasters and many people will die as a result.

But it has the advantage of being very detailed in its records, especially in the ancient books secretly collected by the imperial court and factory guards. Even the birth date and thumb dustpan of the deceased are recorded.

Legend has it that in ancient times there were even medicine men who dedicated themselves to testing medicines. They risked their lives to try out some "prescriptions" and cultivated some "skilled people" in the court or among the people.

No one can tell whether it is true or false.

My adoptive father had told similar stories before, saying that there were talented people in the Jiang family's ancestors, but they had been lost in modern times and few were seen outside.

After humans invented the camera, most of the gods and ghosts disappeared, as if the camera could eat the gods and ghosts, or the gods and ghosts were too shameless to see people.

It depends on how you think about these things.

In ancient times, the Sea of ​​Mist was indeed an out-and-out miracle. There was no other explanation other than the residence of immortals. Zheng Yun would believe it even if he returned to ancient times.

But science proves it isn't.

The mystery and weirdness of many things are based on insufficient scientific development. They are indeed unbelievable and beyond the scope of human cognition.

But it cannot prove the existence of gods and ghosts.

Zheng Yun doesn't really believe in the theory of gods and ghosts, and he doesn't reject those theories. He is just as dubious as his adoptive father, because he can't prove that ghosts and gods really don't exist.

This Demona's behavior is strange. In ancient Eastern terms, she may be obsessed with demons and ghosts, or in modern terms, she may have mental problems.

No one can say for sure.

After all, this is not the earth, but an alien planet more than three hundred light years away from the earth, and it is also the territory of the west. Who knows what is here.

"It should be related to the town of La Maine. Such a big accident happened in the abandoned mine, and explorers and gold diggers were often killed. It is impossible for the locals not to know about it."

"But they didn't move."

"The strange figures we saw in the mine cannot always live in the mine. They may be residents of La Maine Town and commit crimes for some purpose."

Zheng Yun still doubted that in La Maine Town, if something happened in the Western territory, these Westerners would have to be contacted. Eastern explanations would not be of much use here.

He had some vague guesses.

If scientific analysis is conducted, the deaths of these explorers are likely to be related to the parties responsible for the abandoned mine accident. In order to cover up the truth about the underground corpse lake, they killed people and did not allow the news to spread.

This kind of thing is also common in the West.

But this guess cannot explain Demona. She is a W-02 rich girl. Even if she is an independent reporter who wants to investigate the truth, there is no need to come here three times in a row, and there is no need to leave without saying goodbye last night.

Unless she was arrested, Liu Minghuzi and the others were also arrested, but if that was the case, why were the three of them not arrested?

"Then let's search around. If we really can't find anyone, I'll go into the town and see what's going on in this town." Hu Ruihua's eyes were ruthless.

Sister Huzi Wang and the others are all Hu Ruihua's old teammates, and they lost four at once this time.

Even if we don't talk about the friendship that has been shared through thick and thin for so many years, he, the captain, cannot let it go.

"It's very dangerous for the three of us to enter the town. If we must enter, it's best to find some support."

Zheng Yun nodded. There should be others in their search and rescue team. If not, they would have to call for help.

"I have some friends who are on a nearby planet, but it will take two or three days at the earliest to get there. This ghost place is too far away, so I'm afraid I won't be able to catch up." Hu Ruihua sighed.

The satellite phone was in the car. If he wanted to contact his friends, he would have to walk hundreds of kilometers back. The round trip took half a day, and support would not be available for a while.

The search and rescue team is looking for people to rescue people every day. Hu Ruihua knows very well that this thing is about the golden time. If he misses it, he will just collect the bodies if he continues to search.

"Let's look for it first."

Zheng Yun also sighed. If he couldn't find Liu Ming, he would have to notify Liu Ming's family first to see if there was anything they could do.

He has no one of his own.

Everyone in the Lao Jiang family was dead. Not even the whole body of the grandfather’s generation was left behind, let alone his descendants.

As for his adoptive father's brother, Zheng Yun had never heard of him, and when he returned to Earth to worship his ancestors, there was no mention of him in his family tree.

In fact, his adoptive father had some friends who often came to the pawn shop when he was a child, but Zheng Yun was not familiar with them, and he did not come when his adoptive father died.

Can't count on it.

Otherwise, there is no need to sell it to a pawn shop.

At this point, Zheng Yun and the others were not in the mood to talk about anything else. After searching around the abandoned mine to no avail, they decided to go one kilometer northwest to have a look.

To the northwest was behind the abandoned mine building, and the hardened road on the ground led to the north. They drove on the road and followed the hardened road around the mine building and went deeper.

But after just a few hundred meters, the hardened road turned northeast toward the huge mine.

The three of them could only get out of the car and climb the mountain.

Climbing to the top of the mountain and looking forward, I found a higher mountain in the northwest. On the mountain was an almost pristine tropical rain forest with no trace of human beings.

They still choose to go into the mountains.

After half an hour of climbing, they stood completely above Demona's position. They were surrounded by tropical plants and there were no traces of human walking.

Same as last time.

Demona was at their feet.

Is anyone watching?

The data is very poor. There are only 40 collections out of 50,000 words. The author doesn't quite understand. Is there something wrong? Can any readers give me some advice? Many thanks!
