Strange talk live room

Chapter 123 The Taboo of the Village

There is drama.

I didn't expect to be able to really convince Mu Bai, so I immediately followed him to his room.

In the simple house, there is a large desk placed by the window. The workmanship is quite exquisite. It looks like an old object, with a sense of time.

There are several thick stacks of information books and papers on the desk, quietly explaining the summer when the master worked hard and sweated.

"I am the only child in the village who has taken the college entrance examination." Mu Bai wiped the dust off the documents with a tissue, his eyes showing nostalgia.

"My grandma told me since I was a child that young people should have great ambitions. If I stay in such a small and boring village, I will have no future. She asked me to go out and make a living in the outside world."

I agreed: "Your grandma is very far-sighted."

"Fortunately, I didn't disappoint her. I got into a fairly good university and worked as a programmer in an IT company after graduation. The salary was pretty good." Mu Bai smiled.

I glanced at his hairline worriedly, not knowing how long I could hold on.

"If there are no accidents, after a few years of frugality, I can save a down payment, buy a house, find a wife, and then it's time to raise the next generation."

"Everything is going according to what grandma said. My wife and children are on the hot bed, and the whole family is enjoying themselves. It sounds pretty good, doesn't it?"

Mu Bai shrugged, and a wry smile appeared on his delicate face.

"But this is actually not the life I want."

"This is already a life that many people yearn for. In today's society, too many people can't even afford a house." I shook my head gently, remembering the embarrassment I once felt.

If my father hadn't disappeared suddenly, I should have lived the same life, peaceful and stable.

"Boss Li, if you can do such a live broadcast, I think you should be able to understand me." Mu Bai looked at me as if he had found a confidant.

But he doesn’t know that my live broadcast of ghost talk is completely forced.

"I have been troubled by a nightmare since I was a child. If I don't solve this secret, I may be troubled until the day I die."

"What kind of nightmare?" I found a chair and sat down, opened the window, and lit a cigarette.

Outside the window were the swaying shadows of trees, and the cold mountain breeze blew in.

"I always dream about a woman." Mu Bai looked out the window with dull eyes, lost in memories.

"I can't see what she looks like, but I have a feeling of déjà vu. She's very kind and scary at the same time. These are two contradictory feelings, and I don't know why they appear at the same time."

"She stood in the thick fog, looming, waving to me slowly and calling my name in a very strange tone."

"I was scared every time, but I couldn't control my legs and walked towards her."

"Whenever I was about to see her face, my head would suddenly hurt, and then I would wake up."

Mu Bai retracted his gaze and let out a long sigh. The trouble in his eyes was still there.

"Do these things have something to do with the disappearance of the two girls?" I asked.

"I don't know either. The day they and Jiang Yongyan entered the mountain was very similar to the situation in my dream. There was a heavy fog in the mountain."

Mu Bai frowned.

"I seemed to see Xiuhong waving to me like the woman in the dream. But when I ran out, they were gone."

I thought about it and concluded: "The scene in your dream was a foggy mountain, and the place where the two girls went was also a foggy mountain. The problem should be in the mountains."

Mu Bai was silent. It could be seen from the expression on his face that he had already figured this out.

The house grew quiet, the leaves rustling in the wind.

Under the dim light, in the quiet mountain village, Mu Bai lowered his head and pinched his fingers and hesitated for a while before speaking again.

"The mountains are taboo in our village."

"Taboo? If entering the mountain is not allowed, why didn't anyone stop Jiang Yongyan from entering the mountain?" I asked in confusion.

"The depths of the mountains are taboo, and ordinary people cannot go there. Maybe they think that Jiang Yongyan, a businessman in the city, is just hunting and having fun near the village, and will not go to such dangerous places."

"What's in the mountains? Man-eating beasts?"

"I don't know either. Grandma never told me and asked me not to worry about the nightmare. She said it would be fine as long as I left this place."

Mu Bai frowned deeply.

"But this is not the case. Even if I stay in the city, the nightmare still bothers me. That woman has been calling me deep in the mountains. If I don't go, she will haunt me for the rest of my life."

I stretched my hand out of the window and flicked the cigarette ashes: "So you want to hide this from your grandma and secretly go to the mountains to find out this matter?"

"Yeah!" Mu Bai nodded heavily and looked at me with a somewhat complicated look, "I just didn't expect that I would meet you. Maybe, as you said, this is an opportunity."

"I understand what you mean. Let's help each other. I will help you unlock the secret of your nightmare, and you will help me complete the live broadcast."

"Boss Li, you are smarter than I thought." Mu Bai's eyes lit up again, and he couldn't wait. "I have said everything I should say, when can we set off?"

"Don't worry, I still have a few questions. I hope you can tell me truthfully." I blew out the last smoke ring and put out the cigarette butt.

"Okay, you say."

"People in the village seem to be afraid of your grandma, why?"

Mu Bai was stunned.

"I didn't expect you to see this. My grandma is the goddess here. She is usually exposed to things involving gods and gods. I heard that she can see ghosts and gods. Maybe because of this, the people in the village respect her."

I shook my head: "That's probably not the reason."

"No?" Mu Bai thought for a moment and suddenly opened his eyes wide: "Is it because of that?!"

"What?"

Mu Bai spoke quickly: "Growing up, the adults in the village didn't let their children play with me. I was always ostracized. I cried several times when I was a child. My grandma comforted me and said that it was okay not to play with them. They are the cursed ones.”

"The cursed person?!" I was overjoyed. I finally heard some clues related to the live broadcast mission. On the surface, I remained calm and motioned to Mu Bai to elaborate.

But Mu Bai didn't know the reason. After asking several times, his grandmother refused to tell him. She only said that he should study hard and leave this village when he grew up, and everything would be fine.

His expression didn't look fake, so it was useless for me to ask further questions.

Nightmares, curses, alien strangers, disappearing girls, what is the connection between them?

I sighed inwardly.

Grandma Mu Bai said "them", which shows that there is more than one cursed person, and I must kill them all to complete the task.

The difficulty of this live broadcast task is no less than the last time.

"Boss Li, can we go into the mountain? I have already prepared my things." Mu Bai picked up a backpack.

"It's time to go!" I nodded to him.

All the secrets are hidden deep in the mountains. To find out who is the cursed person, you must make this trip.
