Real Game: I Exposed the Old Ones

Every city has a few well-known urban legends.

They are either absurd, weird, or just for conversation after dinner.

It makes people feel a little cool in the hot summer, and adds a bit of nightmare to the silent night.

Xia Yu took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

Actually, when we were asking for news today, we heard that the refugees mentioned strange stories. They thought [The Mist] was the new strange stories.

It just so happened that they also told strange stories that had been circulating in the town before, including the abandoned lake in the eastern suburbs.

Waste Lake? Zhu Zheng asked curiously.

Yes, that lake was originally a local tourist attraction, but because it was too weird and had frequent accidents, it was gradually rejected by most of the residents of Blue Tree Town and no longer dared to approach it, so it became a wasteland. The name of the lake.”

Oh, what kind of weird story is that?

That's a curse.

Zhu Zheng originally thought that the abandoned lake in the eastern suburbs was a secluded and uninhabited edge of town.

After all, there are horror stories circulating there.

However, when everyone drove there, they saw a relatively prosperous industrial area in front of them.

Compared with the dilapidation of the main city, the buildings here are relatively new.

More in line with the current trend of the times.

Driving through the spacious road, there are densely packed factories and logistics parks on both sides.

The eastern suburbs have been transformed into the town's industrial zone. Some heavy industries that require water are located here. The most important industry is the water production plant.

Zhu Zheng was silently thinking about information related to Dongjiao.

soon.

People walked through the industrial park.

Go deeper.

Here, the traces of industrial ax chiseling gradually fade, and the natural appearance of nature begins to be restored.

About ten minutes later.

Everyone finally came to a tourist resort built on the lake.

The tourist village was crowded, and many nearby residents took refuge here.

After all, there is food and drink in a tourist resort.

The key is that there are no traces of destruction by fog monsters, so it is relatively safe.

When they arrived at the tourist resort, there were several men in security uniforms on duty at the door, giving them a feeling of being heavily guarded.

Stop, where did you come from?

We came from the main city...

I'm sorry, this is a private area. If you don't have an appointment, please leave immediately.

If you want to make a reservation, we are friends of Yan San and he recommended us to come here.

Zhu Zheng came forward to negotiate and said casually.

Yan San is an investigator stationed locally by a secret agency.

He has a special status. He is on the list of the first corrupted officials of the Church of Mist, which shows his status.

Judging from the size of the tourist resort in front of him, Yan San has most likely been here before.

really.

The security guard's expression softened slightly after hearing this, but he still looked at everyone suspiciously.

Mr. Yan's friends, how come I've never seen you before?

Zhu Zheng continued to make random remarks.

We came from out of town, and [the fog] happened not long after we arrived. It's normal that you don't recognize us.

We were bored here, so Yan San arranged for us to come over.

Sir, this is a special period and the tourist resorts are not open to the public. You might as well go back and wait. After the [fog] clears, we can provide you with the entire journey for free.

It's okay, let's go in and take a look around. It's a rare trip, and it would be too time-consuming to go back.

this

Just when the security guard hesitated, a voice sounded from behind him.

It's okay, let them in. Since they are Mr. Yan's friends, they can make an exception.

…

Inside the resort tourist village.

Everyone gathered together, and since Xiong Yi was half a body taller than everyone else, he inevitably attracted the attention of others.

The man who came to the rescue at the door was wearing a suit and well-groomed. Judging from the respectful attitude of the people around him, he should be the person in charge or the owner of the resort.

He smiled and said: Mr. Yan and I have collaborated many times. Since you are his friends, I will naturally entertain you.

But now is a special period. We have almost no projects open, but you can stay here for a few days. The environment here is still quite good.

But one thing to note is that Blue Tree Lake is temporarily closed to the public, so please don't go near it.

Blue Tree Lake is also the Waste Lake.

Zhu Zheng nodded in response and looked around.

The tourist resort is generally built around the waste lake.

The lake is blue, like a bright gem, and there are many weeping willows planted on the shore, making the place look like a fairyland.

At this time, with Waste Lake as the center and combined with the surrounding terrain, there were many private houses and hotels scattered in an orderly manner.

There are many entertainment rooms in this tourist resort.

Such as chess and card games, board games, electronic entertainment equipment terminals, etc.

Many evacuee residents gathered in the entertainment room to kill time.

In the waste lake and the surrounding open space, there are also ships, amusement facilities, internet celebrity check-in points, etc.

The layout here is relatively complete.

However, the dock was locked at this time, and the tourist boat was towed to the shore and placed on the ground, looking like small coffins from a distance.

“It’s a beautiful lake, why can’t we go boating?”

You are from out of town and don't know much about our situation here. In short, it's better to do as the locals do.

The man's tone turned a little cold, as if the abandoned lake was a taboo topic.

Under his leadership, everyone was led to a two-story villa.

This villa can be allocated to you for the time being

The first floor is the hall, dining room, and kitchen, and the second floor has four guest rooms. It should be enough for you to share one.

The red-roofed building in the open space next to it is the canteen. Now is a special period. Although the food is not very good, I can still give you a pair of chopsticks.

After the man finished speaking, he left, as if he had urgent matters to deal with.

Zhu Zheng has been observing everything secretly and silently.

I always feel that the man's expression is weird.

Something seems not quite right...

At this time.

Wow, the environment here is much better than where we lived before. Sister Xia Yu, I can sleep in the same room with you.

no problem.

After entering the villa, the long-lost comfortable residence gave the two women in the team a familiar sense of comfort, so they temporarily forgot about the danger of this purpose and started chattering.

Likewise, everyone simply assigned rooms.

There are four rooms in total.

Xia Yu and Bai He sleep in the same room.

The remaining three rooms were allocated to Liu Xiaoqiang, Gao Chang and Zhu Zheng. Xiong Yi said that there was no room for sleeping in the room and he could just sleep in the living room.

In this way, after sorting out some trivial matters, everyone sat together.

We have arrived at Waste Lake, what should we do next?

boating.

But now the boats have been towed ashore.

Wait until night.

Zhu Zheng turned his head and looked out the window.

From his sight, he could just see the sapphire-like waste lake.

No wind.

But as if in response to his gaze, the lake rippled slightly
