"Canyon West? Autopsy report?" I asked.

I just went to the office of that underground factory today. I remember a file bag fell to the ground, called "The death of city". It turned out to be the west camp of the canyon. I remember the photos inside were scattered all over the ground, a total of forty-nine photos, and the dead person in each photo was different. I also remember that all the dead people had one feature in common, that is, their death was extremely embarrassing, with blood coming out of all seven orifices, and their expressions were distorted to the point that normal people could not do it at all.

It's hard to imagine what they went through before they died, and except for a few photos that were partial angles, most of the others were full-body photos, so I remember flipping through the 49 photos, none of them had obvious wounds, at most there were scratches on the neck or arms, bruises on the face, etc., but none of them were fatal...

At this time, Bai Lu nodded and said, "Yes, Black Skull called that project 'City of Death'. Those people died there in a particularly miserable way, with blood coming out of all their orifices, but no fatal injuries. So although I was nervous at the time, out of curiosity about the deaths, I read the report hidden in the file bag. The content of the report was quite professional. I briefly said that there were no signs of poisoning, no internal injuries, and even physical abnormalities were all normal. Therefore, I speculated that they were strongly stimulated before they died, and their mental breakdown caused their death."

"So in short, they were scared to death, right?" I asked.

Bai Lu nodded and continued, "Anyway, after seeing those horrifying photos and then reading the data reports, I may have subconsciously developed a strong resistance to the place. Until I was infected with the poisonous miasma this time, I instinctively rejected the key information 'Canyon West Camp', so I didn't hear it from the wooden man."

My eyes widened. I thought the City of Death was somewhere outside the country, but I never expected it to be the same place as Canyon West Camp. Canyon West Camp was what the wooden man below said. I heard the most objective version, so I was sure I heard this word.

This means that the project "City of Death" mentioned by the Black Skull is different from the "West Camp of the Canyon" narrated by the wooden man left by Senior Wang Gang of Milongying. Although they are called the same place, since West Camp of the Canyon is the City of Death, why did Senior Wang Gang specifically leave a message for us to stay away from here and seek refuge there?

This is really ominous news.

"Okay, let's leave this matter here for now. It's insignificant. Even if the City of Death is on this island, we won't encounter it. Isn't it okay if we don't take the initiative to provoke it? Let's just live a good life. Let's not tell them about these things to avoid causing panic." I said.

She nodded and said, "Brother Zhou Bo is right. It is important to control the direction of speech, but I also hope that Zhou Bo will pay attention to it so that he can take some precautions in advance."

"Go ahead."

"Have you ever thought about why Dr. Joseph was willing to stay in the dark after becoming a monster, until we went down to disturb it, and then it began to fight back instinctively?"

My hair immediately stood on end!

Yes, why? According to the instinct of the black ball, it should try its best to find living things, so it must affect the monster Joseph to attack living things continuously, but it didn't. I used to think that maybe the genes of rats and cockroaches affected the vaccine, so he got used to hiding underground, but now I think it's not the case.

Even if the genes of mice and cockroaches can affect Joseph's body, they will definitely not affect the Black Ball Virus. Therefore, everything will still go according to the instincts of the Black Ball. If it follows the nature of the Black Ball, it will be very excited when it hears the sounds of living things, just like the dead bodies in the earthen tower that are controlled by the Black Ball.

They are particularly keen on living things and sounds, but Joseph always lives in the dark and never shows up. Only when I go down to the underground factory, it suddenly erupts in vigilance and comes to kill me. Therefore, he is going against the instinct of the black ball's consciousness, and the reason for the violation makes me dare not think further.

But he couldn't help but mutter, "Joseph, who can let the virus dominate his body, is so scared that he hides underground. Could it be that he came from the mysterious city of death?"

Bai Lu nodded at me and said, "Fifty people went there in total, and the last one died in the underground factory. Of the fifty photos, only that one had its background on the second floor of the underground factory closest to us. It was taken by the same photographer. This shows that Joseph's own fear consciousness deeply affected the virus consciousness, which is why it behaved abnormally."

I quickly stopped her from talking any further. I had goose bumps all over my body. Knowing too much might have a huge impact on my psychology and put me under a lot of pressure. So I said, "I will be careful. From now on, forget about this. Let's prepare for winter and don't dwell on it."

Bai Lu hesitated for a moment, held her eye sockets, and said seriously: "Oil lamps are not enough. If we want to have a good winter and not be disturbed by dark things, we need something brighter to protect us. This is what I want to tell you tonight."

After saying that, she put down my hand, stood up, took the bowl of ointment and turned away, and went to continue chatting with Yunwen and Yingchun. I listened carefully to what they said, and fortunately, none of them mentioned what they said to me.

Afterwards, I took the girls to the backyard to wash up. After listening to what Bai Lu said, I couldn't help feeling a little more terrified when I saw the dark starry sky again. An enemy I didn't even know was hiding in it. It could be a murderous demon or an invisible creature living in darkness. The most terrifying thing was that I had no idea about it, so I had no strategy to deal with it.

The only thing that is clear is that it dwells in darkness, which can only be dispelled by light.

Tonight's arrangements are similar to yesterday's. Yunwen and I are still staying downstairs, while Bailu and Yingchun are staying on the second floor. We are still considering the possibility of them having a relapse of their mental problems, so we have discussed and decided to set aside a week as observation time. This is basically the arrangement for this week.

As for night watches, we will cancel them for the time being. Firstly, we have horses to take over the sentry duties. Secondly, there has been no unusual movement recently and the most threatening gorilla has not come anymore. Moreover, winter is approaching and the number of animals that can move around is gradually decreasing. With fences and other things, there will be basically no problem.

The Song sisters went upstairs early. Before going upstairs, Bailu looked at me specially with a bit of sadness in her eyes, and then took her sister upstairs. I accompanied Yunwen to check on Sanfu, put some hay in its trough, stroked it to comfort it, and then went back to the house to rest.

Yunwen and I slept on the three tables on the first floor except for the dining table tonight, but the width was only enough for one person to sleep, so I planned to sit on a chair and sleep on my stomach. But at this time, Yunwen lay on top and said to me, "Come up."

"Ah? But the space above isn't wide enough for two of us to fit in," I said.

She coughed, her face flushed a little, then turned sideways with her back to me, leaving a vacant area on the table. She patted the back and said, "Now there's enough space for the two of us to squeeze in."

I was extremely surprised, but this was an invitation from the goddess and a rare opportunity. I scratched my neck and got on the table embarrassedly. She lay on her side with her back facing me, and I also turned my back to her and sat next to her.

She whispered softly again: "Well, I feel quite cold at night, how about... you turn your face and hug me to sleep, okay?"

I was stunned, but I couldn't refuse her kindness, so I turned around quietly, and pressed my body against her back, not knowing where to put my hands. She took my hands and placed them on her lower waist and abdomen, and put my face on the back of her head. I could smell the woman's fragrance, which made me indulge in this gentle land.
