Ye Li asked, "Did Aunt Liu have any strange dreams before this happened?"
The village chief nodded and said, "Yes, she also said that she had nightmares during that period. She dreamed that she was running around in a large courtyard, and bandits were chasing her with knives. She was very scared and sometimes woke up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat."
After saying goodbye to the village chief, they decided to visit Li Erwa. Led by the village chief, they came to Li Erwa's home. Li Erwa was a simple and honest young man. Seeing their arrival, he seemed a little nervous.
"Erwa, these people are sent by higher-ups to investigate. Please tell them about your situation in detail," said the village chief.
Li Erwa nodded, a look of confusion and fear in his eyes. He said, "I don't know what happened, but one day, all of a sudden, a lot of memories that didn't belong to me flooded my mind. I can clearly remember the scenes of teaching in my previous life, the appearance of my students, and where I lived. I was scared at first, but as these memories became clearer and clearer, I felt as if they were really my own experiences."
Lin Yu asked: "Can you tell me how these memories appeared? Did they appear suddenly or gradually?"
Li Erwa scratched his head and tried to recall. "It started with nightmares, dreaming of those scenes. Then one day, I was working in the fields when I suddenly felt dizzy, my vision went black, and I collapsed. When I woke up, the memories were incredibly clear, as if I had experienced them myself. And since then, fragments of my past life have flashed through my mind from time to time. Sometimes, I'd be eating and suddenly see myself teaching students in the classroom."
Ye Li asked, "Have you felt any changes in your body? Or have you noticed anything strange in your surroundings?"
Li Erwa thought for a moment and said, "I haven't felt any physical changes, but sometimes I get a headache, as if something is drilling into my brain. As for the surroundings, I haven't noticed anything strange. But one time, I woke up in the middle of the night and saw what seemed to be a blurry shadow outside the window. It flashed and disappeared. I was really scared at the time. I thought I was seeing things."
After leaving Li Erwa's house, Lin Yu said, "At the moment, there are still too few clues. These memories appeared too suddenly, and there are no obvious external factors. We need to expand the scope of the investigation and find a few more villagers with similar situations to learn more about them."
Ye Li and Zhao Yang both agreed. So, with the help of the village chief, they visited several villagers who claimed to have memories of past lives. However, the information they received was largely the same: sudden onset of past life memories, preceded by strange dreams, and occasional headaches after the memories appeared.
"What is going on? Is it really reincarnation? But this goes too far against scientific common sense." Zhao Yang said with a frown.
Lin Yu said: "We can't easily draw conclusions at the moment. Maybe there is some mechanism behind these phenomena that science cannot explain, or... someone is behind it." Lin Yu's eyes revealed determination, he was determined to uncover the layers of fog and find the truth of the matter.
Just as they were about to investigate further, they heard a cry of alarm from the village. They hurried in the direction of the sound and saw a group of villagers gathered around an ancient well, their faces full of fear.
"What's wrong? What happened?" Lin Yu asked loudly.
A villager pointed at the ancient well with a trembling hand and said, "This well... this well is emitting a strange black smoke with a pungent smell. It's so scary!"
Lin Yu, Ye Li, and Zhao Yang exchanged glances, a foreboding feeling welling up in their hearts. Could this ancient well be somehow connected to the villagers' memories of reincarnation? They cautiously approached the well, a pungent odor overwhelming them, forcing them to cover their mouths and noses. Through the well's mouth, they saw a plume of black smoke rising slowly from the bottom. Strange flashes of light seemed to linger in the smoke, making it difficult to discern its true nature. The smoke, like a giant black python, twisted its body as it emerged from the well, twisting the surrounding air.
"There's something strange about this ancient well. We have to go down and take a look," Lin Yu said, his eyes revealing determination. However, he was also filled with worry, wondering what dangers awaited them at the bottom of the well. At this moment, Lin Yu's heartbeat involuntarily quickened, and an inexplicable fear surged within him. But as the core of the team, he had to remain calm and not let his fear affect his teammates. He knew that the more critical the moment, the more he needed to think calmly and lead everyone to uncover the mystery. Otherwise, they might fall into an irretrievable situation...
