Styx Doll (VIII)
After the police arrived, the three were questioned and had their statements taken. After a whole morning of trouble, they went directly to a nearby restaurant and ordered fried rice. It was already afternoon when they returned to the hotel.
He Guang made the excuse that he was not full and wanted to go to the shop to buy some snacks, and left the hotel again.
In fact, she just wanted to take a walk around the village, but if she told the two boys, they would definitely be worried, and it would also make her seem too carefree.
It should have been extremely hot in the afternoon in July, but as I walked along the shade of the trees on the roadside, I felt a cool breeze. I wonder if it will turn into a bone-chilling cold in winter?
"There's something really wrong with the temperature in this village."
After saying this, He Guang stopped and closed her eyes as if she was sensing something.
After a while she opened her eyes, "It should be a seal covering the entire village."
The system also said, "Host, I also felt a magnetic field that is even stronger than the last time in the library, covering this village. I have upgraded my defenses and will try not to be offline at critical moments."
The system's voice sounded unsure, so He Guang quickly comforted it, "It's okay, System-kun, your kindness is enough."
System: Host, you have already assumed that I will be offline, right?
[Host, are the things you said to the male protagonist and the others by the river this morning true? Doesn’t the hallucination have no effect on you?]
"Of course I lied to them." He Guang smiled, "The thing that grabbed my feet is real, and it's similar to the thing I saw last night.
I didn’t let them come because I was afraid they would be dragged down. If they really started fighting, I might be exposed! But it’s true that someone dragged me back.”
After He Guang finished speaking, she found that the audience in front of the screen were all very worried about her.
[Host, are you really okay? Don't blame yourself. There is a saying that human power has its limits.]
[I feel like the enemy this time is not ordinary. Host, please quickly exchange for more powerful weapons. If the system goes offline again, it will be too late to change then.]
He Guang said, "Why are you all so pessimistic? Can you please have a little faith in me?"
[Host, we have great confidence in you, but the enemy is too strong. Look, there is not even a shadow of you, but we have tortured you to death. The driver died, but you survived.]
[Yeah, you're injured.]
[I’m not doing well right now, anchor, please be careful]
[That’s right, anchor, you are one of my favorite anchors, so I want to give you my pocket money as a reward, not to exchange it for flowers in front of your tombstone in the future]
"It's just that my hand was burned. How can it be considered injured?" He Guang couldn't help but laugh. She lowered her head to look at her palm which had recovered a lot. "Don't worry, it will be fine."
The two boys were resting in the room and discussing what happened in the morning.
"Does this river have a grudge against us? In less than 24 hours, it has repeatedly tried to drag us to keep it company."
You Yi sat on the floor nearby, his head tilted back. The bruises on his neck still looked scary.
He felt very confused. How did Shen Mengze survive the fierce death attack by Zhaohe alone?
Shen Mengze was also a little confused. He rubbed his forehead and tried to sort out his thoughts. “Apart from being by the river these past few days, I haven’t encountered any fatal danger. I just keep dreaming.”
"It seems that it was only after we arrived that the slow and careful work turned into a torrential downpour."
You Yi laughed, "This is really strange. I was chatting with the lady boss yesterday. She mentioned this river without any fear or dread, as she usually does when talking about taboos. She also said that the riverside scenery is beautiful and that tourists from the city often come here to play, but they just have to pay attention to safety."
He said as he looked at Shen Mengze, "And I have checked what you asked me to check. Apart from a few people drowning every year, there are no horrific rumors or abnormal death cases in Xiaoqinghe Village."
Chen Mengze half closed his eyes, “If the people in the village had experienced the same thing as us, it would be impossible that there would be no news at all.
People are always sensitive to this kind of thing. They will say something that is false is true, and will spread it as if it is seven times true.
But why is it only targeting us, or only targeting outsiders?"
You Yi saw that his expression had not eased, and was really worried that the ghost had not done anything to them, but this man died first. "I said, are you okay? Why don't you just go to the hospital? If you are going to die anywhere, you will die. It is better to die comfortably."
If Nan Zhou were here, he would definitely be worried that he would be strangled to death.
Fortunately, Shen Mengze has a good temper and I'm used to the way he speaks.
Chen Mengze waved his hand, "I'm fine. The key to solving the problem must be in the village. We can't leave. And I have a guess. The village has been fine for so many years. Could it be that there is some master protecting them, just like he helped us today."
This speculation can be said to be a ray of light in the darkness, and it is very likely.
“That makes sense.”
You Yi thought, "It's not easy to find that expert. By the way, you said today that the one who helped us might be a ghost. What do you mean?"
“Last time at the river, they pulled me back and I heard a child’s voice, and it seemed to be coming from far away.
I have come into contact with wandering spirits before. They are different from evil spirits. They have no grudges and are invisible to ordinary people. They helped us twice in a row. Maybe they have some connection with that master. "
Shen Mengze stood up and walked to the window, but unexpectedly saw the boss's wife's child playing with two other friends under the tree outside.
He said he was playing, but in reality, the two little friends were chattering in his ears while he was daydreaming.
At first glance, this child has a somewhat eerie aura, especially when you are stared at by him with those empty eyes, which makes you feel creepy.
At such a distance, Shen Mengze couldn't actually see the child's eyes, but he turned around quickly.
At this moment, he felt that he had grasped something vaguely, but it was only a thin thread, and he had to follow this thin thread to see more things.

After confirming what he wanted to confirm, Kazuhiko walked back while chatting with the audience.
In addition to those who were worried about her and kept giving her flags, there were also those who seriously analyzed the situation for her.
[Anchor, have you ever thought about why accidents started to get worse after you arrived?
These terrifying things definitely didn't form in one day. They didn't come out to cause trouble before, most likely because they were suppressed by something, such as the master you guessed. But now it's possible that the master can't suppress it anymore, or the master himself has an accident.]
[Boss, don't scare us]
[I agree with the previous comment, and if this guess is true, you are not the only ones who will suffer. Xiaoqinghe Village may become the second closed-door village.]
[Fuck, I’m panicking]
[What is Fengmen Village? Please give me some information]
[In our time and space, the first ghost village of the flower-growing family]
[Hey, I’m also a flower grower]
[Same, the location is Flower Growers, but we are more accustomed to calling this place Flower Country]
[Big guys, don’t just focus on analysis and recognition, think of a solution quickly]
[I think things haven't reached the worst point yet, and the world the anchor and his friends live in is a fictional world that is not out of the control of the plot. This has both advantages and disadvantages, and now the benefits are here.
This expert who secretly helps the male protagonist must have had contact with him before, and will definitely not let the male protagonist look for a needle in a haystack. This is the chance for the male protagonist that the plot arranges for him.
Of course, you, the anchor, are out of control of the plot. In a sense, you are more like the protagonist's plug-in.
I can't help but say a few more words after analyzing it. In short, the master is very likely next to you. I think the boss lady is a big suspect.]
[Wow, there are many experts among the people]
[The great god's analysis makes a lot of sense. I don't know what else to do except quacking]
[I am not a great god, thank you for the praise]
He Guang also said admiringly, "You are really amazing. The system has the same idea as you. It said that if the master is nearby, we should find a way to get him out tonight. Let's see how we perform!"
[You better be careful and don’t let your vest leak out again]
【Now that you say that, we are even more worried】
[A moment of silence for the two boys in advance. I always feel that if they fall into hallucinations, they will be beaten up by the anchor again]
In the evening, Chen Mengze received a call from Mo Liuying.
She seemed to have noticed something, and the first thing she asked was, "Where are you?"
As for Chen Mengze, she simply skipped all the preparations and greetings, revealing another side of her that was always underneath her perfect smile.
"Find a friend to hang out with while you're out there."
Chen Mengze said nonchalantly, "What's wrong?"
"Nothing." Mo Liuying's voice was filled with a hint of worry. "I had a dream about you..."
"us?"
"You, Guang, and Youyi, I dreamed that you were standing by a river, and the water was red." Mo Liuying's voice was low, and every word was very clear.
Chen Mengze controlled his breathing and tried not to make it rapid, so as not to be heard by the other party as something unusual.
"Are they with you? What happened to you?" Mo Liuying asked.
Shen Mengze was silent for a moment, "I did encounter some accidents, what else did you dream about?"
When facing a friend who knows you very well, it becomes meaningless to hide anything.
"I've had the same dream for the past two days, a red river. Now I know... it's blood. Today I dreamed that you were walking step by step towards that bloody river, and many hands stretched out from the river and grabbed your feet."
Mo Liuying's voice lowered a few notes, "Several times I thought I had dreamed of hell."
"Thank you." Chen Mengze said softly, "It's my bad luck that I always get you into trouble. I'm sorry."
Mo Liuying laughed softly, "Why don't you just say that it's my bad luck that always implicates you? In this kind of thing, no one is implicated. When fate wants to torture someone, there is no need to ask why."
Shen Mengze exhaled softly, "We will be careful, don't worry."
Mo Liuying said, "If there is anything, call me if I can help."
After ending the call with Mo Liuying, Chen Mengze was teased by You Yi, who put his arm around his neck and whispered, "Okay! Brother, your pretty face is not in vain.
Both girls care about you so much, tell me the truth, do you feel moved? "
When Mo Liuying was telling about her dream, the room was already very quiet, and everything they said sounded clear.
But Chen Mengze never expected that You Yi would still have the leisure to gossip at this time.
He couldn't help but push You Yi, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "It's already this hour, why are you still acting like a gossipy auntie?"
"It's already this late, and I can't satisfy my curiosity."
You Yi spread his hands.
Chen Mengze looked at He Guang and saw that she was daydreaming again, so he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, "Don't talk nonsense, what if He Guang hears it? It's not good to joke about a girl with this kind of thing."
"I am concerned about your lifelong event." You Yi said, "We are old now, and it is not considered premature to fall in love. I am thinking about you. Do you know that there are many singles now?"
Chen Mengze said, "I remember my birthday was a few months older than yours." He showed an expression of concern for his mentally retarded son, "If you want to talk about concern, it's me who cares about you."
