The Mystery of the Reincarnation Village (Part 1)
After returning from their thrilling exploration of Fuxian Lake, Lin Yu, Ye Li, and Zhao Yang barely had time to rest before they received another urgent mission from Bureau 749: to investigate the Reincarnation Village in Hunan. According to intelligence received, this small village, nestled in a remote mountainous area of Hunan, had recently been plagued by a series of bizarre reincarnation rumors, drawing the Bureau's close attention.
On the way to the Reincarnation Village, the atmosphere in the car was a bit subdued. Lin Yu sat by the window, watching the scenery speed by, his heart filled with anxiety about this mission. "Hunan Reincarnation Village...it sounds so mysterious and eerie. I wonder what kind of bizarre events we'll encounter this time," Lin Yu muttered to himself, frowning. He knew that every mission was a challenge to the unknown, and this time, rumors of reincarnation touched the edge of human cognition, posing both danger and mystery.
Ye Li sat beside Lin Yu, flipping through preliminary information about the Reincarnation Village with a serious expression. "From the information we have so far, many villagers in this village claim to have memories of past lives, and can accurately describe their names, addresses, and many other details of their lives. These cases don't sound fabricated, but reincarnation is difficult to explain from a scientific perspective," Ye Li said, her eyes revealing confusion and curiosity. As an expert in the occult, she has a strong interest in these supernatural phenomena, but she also understands the potential dangers they carry.
Zhao Yang sat in the front row, gripping his modified weapon tightly, his eyes determined. "Who cares about reincarnation? We're battle-hardened, why should we be afraid of these mystical things? When we get there, I'll uncover the truth." Although Zhao Yang spoke with a heroic tone, his slightly trembling fingers betrayed a hint of nervousness. After all, facing such a mysterious incident beyond common sense, no one dared to take it lightly.
After a long drive, they finally arrived at the mountainous region where the reincarnation village was located. Nestled among the mountains, the village was shaded by lush greenery, with a clear stream flowing gently along its edge. At first glance, it seemed like a paradise. However, upon entering the village, they sensed a strange atmosphere. The villagers' eyes revealed a mixture of wariness and curiosity, and upon seeing them approach, they began to whisper among themselves.
"It seems these villagers are wary of our arrival. We need to be careful not to offend them," Lin Yu whispered to his teammates. He could sense that this seemingly peaceful village was actually hiding a dark secret, and the villagers' attitude undoubtedly made the investigation more difficult.
They approached the village chief and explained their purpose. The chief was a man over 70 years old, with white hair and a look of wisdom and experience in his eyes. "Well, since you're here, you must be aware of the rumors about our village. Over the years, quite a few strange things have happened in the village, with many people claiming to remember past lives. At first, we all thought they were crazy, but later we discovered that their stories about past lives actually matched up," the chief said slowly, his tone filled with helplessness and concern.
Lin Yu asked, "Village Chief, can you tell us about the specific cases? The more detailed the better, as this is very important for our investigation."
The village chief nodded, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes. He slowly said, "Take Li Erwa from the east end of the village. One day, he was working in the fields as usual when he suddenly collapsed. When he woke up, he looked completely different. He muttered some strange words, saying that he was not Li Erwa, but a teacher from the county town who had died many years ago."
The village chief recalled the scene at that time, and a trace of fear appeared on his face: "Li Erwa said that in his previous life he taught at the Qingfeng School in the county town. The school was located at the corner of the county town's West Street. The school gate was vermilion and the threshold was very high. He could even clearly recite the names of the students he had taught in the past, such as Wang Fugui, Zhang Xiucai and so on. At first we all thought he was confused because of overwork and was talking nonsense. But later, a few young people in the village were curious and ran to the county town to inquire. Hey, guess what? There really is such a Qingfeng School. Although it has long been dilapidated, the old people who studied there in the past still remember that there was such a teacher. And the names of the students he mentioned can all be matched."
While recording, Ye Li asked, "Before Li Erwa became like this, did anything unusual happen? For example, was he sick or came into contact with something strange?"
The village chief thought for a moment and then said, "If you want to talk about abnormalities, it doesn't seem to be anything special. It's just that in the past few days, he kept saying that he had nightmares. He dreamed of some strange scenes, like he was teaching in an unfamiliar place and could see the faces of his students. Those dreams were so real that he said he felt like he was there in person."
Lin Yu and Ye Li exchanged a glance, each revealing confusion. Could this seemingly ordinary dream truly be related to reincarnation? Or was there some other, unknown reason behind it?
Lin Yu then asked: "Village Chief, are there any other similar cases?"
The village chief sighed and said, "Yes, Aunt Liu from the west end of the village is also like this. Aunt Liu was originally an ordinary peasant woman, who only knew how to take care of household chores. One day, she suddenly started talking about being a maid in a wealthy family in her previous life. She could even describe the layout of the family's house, how many doors there were in the front hall, and what flowers were planted in the back garden. She spoke very clearly. She even imitated the maid's tone and demeanor, which scared us all."
"According to Aunt Liu, her master in her previous life was surnamed Chen, a wealthy merchant in the silk business. Once, their family was robbed by bandits, and she was killed by them while trying to protect their property. When she spoke of this, her eyes were filled with fear and sadness, as if the events had just happened. We all thought she had a mental problem at first, but later we inquired and found out there was indeed a wealthy merchant surnamed Chen nearby, and that they had indeed been robbed by bandits many years ago, with many people killed."
