Chapter 245 There is something dirty
Yinshan Village is very large. Although we came here mainly for the scenic area, it took us almost an hour to reach the small scenic area.
When they arrived, they happened to meet the three people from before.
I don’t know if they had a quarrel, but the tall man who looked a bit fierce walked by with a sullen face. The couple didn’t say anything and left quickly.
No one paid any attention to this little episode.
The small scenic area is a bamboo forest. Walking north along the stone bridge, you will see a pavilion. On the south side, there is an ancient house hidden in the bamboo forest, appearing and disappearing.
There were many lotus flowers in bloom, and Tang Yu and Ye Sisi started taking pictures soon, and enthusiastically invited Lin Jiu and others to join them.
Out of caution, everyone except Lin Jiu refused.
After getting familiar with the place, Tang Yu was no longer as reserved and nervous as before. The two girls took Lin Jiu to the pavilion to take pictures, while the other four stayed at the fork in the road.
"Did you find it?" Christie asked suddenly, putting his hands on the stone railing and looking at the lotus pond.
When visiting the village earlier, Christie noticed that most of the villagers were middle-aged and elderly people, while the young people were all tourists from outside, and there were no locals.
Feeling a little strange, he casually asked the question while buying water in the supermarket.
The supermarket owner said that all the young people in the village have gone out to make a living, but they will be back for the wedding the day after tomorrow.
This is strange.
In all likelihood, a wedding ceremony involves human sacrifice. Generally speaking, this kind of sacrifice, especially the sacrifice called a bride, will most likely be a young woman. However, apart from tourists like them, there are no young people in the village at all, let alone young women.
"Excluding the fact that the bride has already been chosen..." Reginald said after thinking for a while.
Elena added, "The only possibility left is that they will choose one from among us tourists."
There is no doubt that Elena's situation among the players has become a little more dangerous.
Elena's expression was calm, and she said calmly: "I think I'm quite safe. After all, if we talk about youth, those two girls over there are much younger than me."
30 years old is a good age to work hard, but compared with Tang Yu and Ye Sisi, two freshmen, she is naturally a lot older, not to mention that her temperament shows it even more.
"What if there is more than one bride?"
Charles' words made several people's expressions change.
The rules didn't specify how many brides there could be, but people generally assumed one bride was a majority. But this was a strange world, and this wedding was a suspected human sacrifice ritual, so having more than ten "brides" wouldn't be surprising.
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the direction of the pavilion.
It’s Tang Yu.
The pavilion was not far away. When Charles and the others arrived, Lin Jiu was checking something with Tang Yu's mobile phone. Tang Yu was quite frightened and was held in Ye Sisi's arms, his face a little pale.
"What did you see?" Charles walked up to Lin Jiu and asked.
They didn't see or feel any strange attack not far away, so it could only be that Tang Yu saw something.
Hearing this, Lin Jiu glanced towards the ancient house opposite and said, "It must be a dirty thing."
As he spoke, Lin Jiu showed him the enlarged photo.
The image is a lot blurrier due to the enlargement, but you can still clearly see the blurry figure among the bamboo forest.
It was a hint of red, a presence that was almost impossible to ignore.
This figure appeared in every subsequent photo, getting closer and closer to the camera.
Charles turned to the last page and saw a video that lasted nearly twenty seconds.
The video is a bit choppy at the beginning.
Perhaps he touched something by mistake, and Tang Yu mistook recording for taking pictures. After repeating this several times, Tang Yu seemed to notice something and suddenly exclaimed "Huh?"
In the picture, Ye Sisi could only be seen posing. When she heard Tang Yu's voice, she subconsciously asked "What's wrong", but got no response.
At this moment, the screen began to shake slightly, and then Tang Yu suddenly screamed, the phone fell to the ground, and the screen fell into darkness.
Ye Sisi was obviously startled and hurried forward to ask.
At the end of the video, Lin Jiu picked up his phone and turned off the recording.
"She said she saw this woman suddenly rushing towards her from the opposite side." Lin Jiu said, sliding the screen to point to the red figure in the corner of the photo.
The word "bride" came to Charles' mind. He glanced at Tang Yu, who was still a little frightened, and couldn't help but wonder if this little girl had been chosen as the bride.
It is too early to draw a conclusion now. Charles is sure that Lin Jiu will go to the ancient house to take a look.
"For safety's sake, let's send her back first."
Hearing this, Christie instantly understood what he meant, "You want to go and take a look?"
Charles nodded.
"Okay, be safe."
No one expected that Tang Yu would encounter this. Players subconsciously thought that they would encounter such a thing. Now that an NPC has encountered this, it is somewhat concerning.
Lin Jiu temporarily borrowed Tang Yu's mobile phone, and then he found that although the phone showed that there was a signal, the communication function could not be used at all.
After confirming that he could not contact the outside world, Lin Jiu clicked on the camera again.
He walked in front holding his cell phone, and Charles followed behind, looking around vigilantly.
Soon, they arrived at the location where the female ghost appeared in the photo.
As soon as they stepped into the bamboo forest, Lin Jiu and Charles felt a chill mixed with a distinct smell of pollution.
Walking along the stone path towards the depths of the bamboo forest, Charles looked up. The bamboos on both sides of the road were so tall that they seemed to block out the blue sky, giving people a dull feeling and bringing considerable pressure.
The bamboo grows so densely that it makes people feel like there are eyes staring at them from deep within.
Charles always felt that there was something hidden in it, which made him tense up. Lin Jiu, who was walking in front, flipped the camera at some point, took a picture of himself for a while, and then let Charles into the picture.
For a moment, a flash of red flashed from the corner of the screen.
Lin Jiu stopped and turned his head to look.
There was nothing unusual in sight.
Charles saw Lin Jiu suddenly stop and turn to look behind him, and paused slightly. He didn't notice anything behind him, but because of the precedent of Tang Yu, he used his eyes to ask if there was anything behind him.
Unexpectedly, Lin Jiu stared at him for a few seconds and suddenly asked, "Are your eyes uncomfortable?"
Charles:......
Seeing him choke, Lin Jiu chuckled: "It's just a joke, don't be nervous."
After saying that, Lin Jiu turned around and continued walking with his phone in hand, but silently turned the camera back.
Charles shook his head helplessly.
He said nothing and trotted over to catch up.
