Unexpected clues, harvest
There was a pause on the line, and the little girl responded to me with a mumble of surprise, but I couldn't make out what she said because of her sobbing voice.
The search area of the mountain was quite large, and they used walkie-talkies this time, the same model that the security guard Li used back then. There was a rustling sound from the walkie-talkie, and occasionally there was an electric current sound creeping through it.
It seemed that the little girl suddenly threw herself on the intercom, and the noise was chaotic for a while, as if the intercom fell to the ground. Then, the cry of grievance turned into an even more earth-shattering and tearful cry.
Yan Mo took the opportunity to ask her a few more questions, but the little girl, who was only five or six years old, didn't know anything and fell asleep after a while because she was tired from crying.
The person holding the little girl helped me translate in the chaos, saying that the little girl's statement was very confusing and she only talked about two things:
First, she got separated from the driver. The original words were that this distant elder "sprouted".
Second, she said she met a sister she didn’t recognize, but her sister fell asleep and she and her sister were separated.
Here Yan Mo was very cold and forced the little girl to wake up, repeatedly confirming the characteristics of the so-called "sister", until he could no longer get any information, and then let the little girl go to sleep.
"——Tall, taller than the driver; short hair, cold expression, hoarse voice, wearing our equipment. And there is a lot of blue and red liquid on his body."
Yan Mo concluded: "It's interesting. She was talking about Gao Liu. Was the "Gao Liu" she met injured?"
In the communication, Gao Liu expressed denial and doubt with certainty.
Only Zhang Tianyi and I looked at each other, both of us feeling solemn and surprised.
Rui Rui was also "flashing", and she looked like Gao Liu who had just seen the picture of the woman escaping from the door in that world. What was the reason for this? Was it the same coincidence as the three people in nightgowns?
But in that world, she was the only one who seemed not to be parasitized; in this world, she was the only one who had not been harmed. This really gave people a bad feeling.
"She's sleeping very soundly. She might be a little stressed." Yan Mo checked over there. "Advisor, how long have you been here? She has to sleep for half a day, otherwise she might be physically and mentally exhausted when she comes to her senses."
I thought about it, and realized that it would take most of the day to explore and confirm things along the way, and each one would be very difficult.
Rui Rui felt more at ease with Yan Mo, so she entrusted her to his care, but she also reminded Yan Er to pay attention to safety.
As for the guys searching the mountain, since nothing has happened yet, it is best for them to stop and wait to avoid accidentally touching anything. If there are any clues that have been found in the mountain, they can make a summary.
In addition, I need someone to contact the Zhang family to negotiate and see if they can help find out the origin and purpose of the travel company. Rui Rui's background should also be detailed.
At first glance, there aren't many things to do, but each one is a delicate job and very troublesome.
Yan Mo was very calm. After I finished explaining everything to him, he just said "OK" as if it was nothing new and took the job.
I had no concerns about Yan Er's handling of matters and his abilities, so I continued to discuss the next steps with the people around me.
First, for these abnormal graveled soils, we agreed to conduct tests at certain intervals for comparison.
I also roughly told the team leader and three guys about the possibility of some kind of evil wish-granting mechanism.
The group started their journey without saying much, and decided to visit the B&B first, then go to the corridors and many shrines, and finally meet up with Yan Moruirui and the others.
In fact, in order to save time, the best way is to let the guys on Yan Er's side who are free to check some of the shrines, and then take Rui Rui with him through the corridor and meet us at the B&B.
But I have many concerns in my mind.
According to the tour guide, "the route cannot be deviated from", which seems to be a strict requirement for the things we come into contact with one after another as tourists.
To some extent, in that world, she led the team off the mountain path to find a cave to shelter from the rain, and even tried to stop the journey and take the tourists away;
Here, she also abandoned a busload of tourists and let them leave the valley. Facing us, a few incompetent new tourists, she skipped all the scenery and directly introduced the dry lake bed.
This got me thinking about the potentially serious consequences of straying from the tourist route.
The question is, what does it mean to be a tourist? Why are our guys who searched the mountain fine these past two days? Aren’t they considered tourists?
If the problem lies in the "tour guide's" identification of "tourists", then it is reasonable that Ruirui and those guys who did not formally meet the tour guide did not get into trouble, but the sudden change of the driver Lao Zhao seems particularly abrupt and inconsistent with the inference.
I always feel that there is something weird here. The driver, Lao Zhao, involved the tour guide in all this mess and emphasized that Rui Rui could be brought along. His existence and image are very suspicious to me.
While he was thinking, Zhang Tianyi suddenly said, "Someone is there!"
Then the team leader and three guys issued warnings at the same time, and I was blocked behind everyone.
At this moment, I immediately looked in the direction they were vigilantly looking in. A few hundred meters ahead, a huge cave appeared silently on the other side of the mountain path.
A man was walking out from inside, with dirty words in his mouth and an empty mineral water bottle in his hand. He kept rubbing the back of his hand behind him, as if it was itchy.
It's that disgusting stupid tourist.
I quickly found the corresponding description in the tour guide's previous description.
Didn't he make things difficult for the tour guide in that world, threatening to file a complaint, and then turn around and walk into the cave? And according to the tour guide's description, he was the first to see the "door" that was supposed to be in the bluestone at the bottom of the lake.
The tour guide’s voice and smile are still in my mind, and I feel so angry that I wonder how this kind of person can be okay? Is there any justice in this world?
The thought came to an end in a flash, and the man came out tremblingly, looking around blankly on the mountain path, as if he was still frightened. When he looked up at us, he was stunned.
After a while, he looked at our neat equipment, his lips turned pale, he exclaimed, turned around and tried to run back.
"——Catch that grandson!"
I said angrily, but before I could finish my words, I saw Zhang Tianyi coming behind him and kicking him to the ground.
The man screamed, rolled on the ground, and shouted that the scenic area security guard was beating him.
The team leader laughed when he heard it. He went up to him and kicked him, then squatted down and pinched his cheek.
"Oh, your security guard looks like this? Then our jade-faced little princes can get a bid of five or six figures."
The man was originally pretending to cry and shout while stealing glances at us out of the corner of his eyes. When he heard the team leader's tone, which was full of the tone of evil forces, he shuddered and immediately behaved himself.
"Brother! Brother, brother, brother! I'll turn myself in if you confess!" He closed his eyes tightly and screamed, "We can talk about anything!"
We looked at each other unexpectedly, something was going on.
I asked the team leader Zhang Jia to pick up the man, and without asking any questions, he sneered, "Let's go, we're still a long way from the B&B. It's really hot."
Everyone around me was very cooperative and came over to surround me as I walked forward.
Especially Zhang Tianyi, he put his hands behind his back and stood behind me silently, with a very stern look, like a high-level henchman and a peerless thug.
The man was like a chicken being carried away by Zhang Jia. He lost all his temper and started to talk nonsense with a sad face: "I, I, I, comrade, I didn't mean it..."
Zhang Jia said "oh" indifferently, and his tone suddenly became very familiar, with a bit of the viciousness and banditry that he had learned from Xu You.
"——tell me?"
Seeing that we were still walking, and didn't even look at the cave, and didn't seem to be in a hurry to ask about the whole story, as if just asking casually, the stupid tourist suddenly lost his mind and said in despair:
"Yes. It was me. I... pushed that four-eye guy into the water."
I stopped dead in my tracks, my face livid.
The man was still unaware of his current situation. He gave up all resistance and excuses and told us what he had done. From his words, he seemed unaware that he had completely changed into a different world.
According to the tourist's account, "just now" in the cave he was just using an excuse to make trouble for the beautiful female tour guide and take advantage of her.
But the tour guide looked at him impatiently and treated him as an idiot without saying a word to apologize for the dress.
He didn't believe it, so he went deeper into the cave, hoping to make some noise to trick the female tour guide into coming over in a hurry.
"..." I suppressed my anger and told him to stop talking nonsense and get to the point. "What's the matter with that door? You said you saw the door at that time."
He was startled, and his eyes, which had been darting around, suddenly stopped moving.
"This... Comrade, you understand all this, right?"
Damn it, I can’t bear it anymore: “Beat him up first!”
"——I said! I made it up at the beginning, saying there was a door here, and then I squatted in the blind corner without making any noise, waiting for the woman to come in."
He spoke very quickly, "Then there was a sudden shout from outside and a man ran in, like a hysterical person. I was so scared that I didn't hold back and knocked him unconscious."
"As a result... as a result, the people outside didn't say anything for a long time. I looked over and saw that the guy on the ground who had clearly rushed in in front of me had somehow run behind me. I was stunned..."
What he said next was even more outrageous.
He was so shocked that he tried to feel the breath of the person on the ground, but found it was very weak, and it seemed that he was not sure whether he was dead or alive.
A hysterical person actually came out for a trip and just fell to the ground. He immediately remembered all the news and thought, oh no, maybe the tour group was setting up a trap to blackmail him.
This person never thought about how twisted and dirty his logic was. He walked around in circles for a few circles, not caring whether Four Eyes could be saved or not, and looked around to see where it would be suitable to hide people.
The depth of the cave was not as long as the tour guide judged after hearing Zhou Tingmao's footsteps. It was just a corner, plus about fifty or sixty meters after the corner.
At the end was a dirty deep pool, so cold it penetrated his bones and made the man shiver.
But there seems to be some sound of water in this deep pool, it is running water, and I don’t know where it will eventually lead to.
Moreover, there seemed to be something like black hair surging in the darkness, and the gathering and dispersal of it was like a door that was about to break at any time, appearing extremely evil.
The man was so scared that he stepped back repeatedly, not knowing where he bumped into something. He covered his head in pain and almost screamed out.
I don’t know why, but no one from outside has come in to look for me yet.
As he thought about it, he suddenly felt malicious.
——Anyway, everyone thought that the four-eyed guy came in first, so who knows, who can prove where he went? Just insist that you have never seen him. The travel agency and the female tour guide are afraid of news of human death, so they dare not make a big fuss.
He turned back and found a handy stone in the corner.
Finally I found the man with the four eyes, and then I heard a loud bang outside. I didn't know what happened.
He didn't care. He vaguely heard Siyan shiver uneasily, as if he was about to wake up. In his drowsiness, he kept muttering something about "rain" and "mural".
"Bang!"
One, two, the third one didn't hit it, and Siyan was silent.
"Then, I dragged him into the pond and stuffed the rocks I used to hit him into his clothes. He...he sank directly to the bottom."
“But, but…” The man turned pale and fell into fear. “Comrade, comrade, I didn’t know he would be like that later!”
"The skin on his body was like the sugar coating melting away, and he started screaming. Then I saw him leaning back and forth, and his arm suddenly bent backwards! And then he could actually swim. He steadied himself in the water and climbed up, throwing away the heavy stone!"
"——Then, is that Huangquan? That door can't be the gate of hell! I, I didn't expect it to turn into a ghost so quickly, I really didn't mean it..."
The team leader's eyes turned red, and he slapped him hard, and asked sternly: "What about the others?"
